Epiaonpal Church OOnprsss.

New YORK, Nov. 23.-This morn
ing's session of the Episcopal Church
congress, the topic was, what princi-
pie should govern church extension in
our country in fields already occupied
by others. Rev. w. N. McVicker, ID.
D., of Holy Trinity Church, Philadel-
phia, said the question was how the
Protestant Episcopal Church could be
extended in places already occupied by
other church bodies. 1t was matter
of principle all the way through. In
this country it was competition in bus
mess and politics and sadly or gladly as
it might be called competition in re-
ligion. Not long ago the speaker re-
membered leaning over the head of a
dying man who said: The Roman
Catholics will tell me one thing, the
Methodists another and the Presby-
terians something else. and now you
tell me to do so and so. For Gods
sake, what shall l do, what shall l

BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov. 22.-Although
the authorities refuse to talk about
the recent big capture of counterfeit
ers in Western New Y .rk and Penn
sylvania, a few facts have leaked out
to show 1t To be one of the most i'm
portant cases OIL record. Tie man
Richardson, who was brought to Buff
falo Tuesday night by Special Agent
Lyons, is not only seemingly respecta-
bic. but IS in more than comfortable
circumstances. He has delightful
home at Cassadiagua, and is the father
of two eStimable daughters, almost
grown to womanhoOd. 1t is stated
that the government has for years tried
to get a case against Richardson, but
never with success until now. 1t
is believed that for twenty years
he has been making counterfeit money
and no man in the United States has
ever been aLle to produced a spurious
coin 30 nearly like the genuine as he.
The other six men arrested with him
circulated the coin, but Richardson, 1t
is alleged, was the manufacturer. De
tectiVe LyOBa took him to Auburn this
morning, where the United States
court is in session and he will at once
be taxed before the grand jury. That
part of the proceedings will probably be
a mere fOrmality, as Richardson has
expressed his Willingness TO tell all he
knows about the observations of the
gang.

paper, which he tore into small
bits and put something he

swallowed 1t before the officers could

being put together were found to con-
tain instructions how to blow open
safes. The detectives returned to Their
post and soon after George Mcfarland

Pira in a Pnhlin School.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-At 1:15 this
afternoon fire broke out in the First
ward public school, Long Island City.
One of the pupils of the school had
gone into the basement and lighted a
gas jet, when the woodwork close to
the jet took fire and a flame instantly
shot through a crevice in the floor.
Over 900 children were standing at their
desks in the various rooms of the school
building, and when the children on the
first floor saw the flame shooting up
through the boards they raised the cry
of fire" and instantly there WAS d
panic in every room of the school
building. The children rushed
pell nell from the marrow
doors, crowding and jOstling each
other iii their efforts to get out. The
children were piled up at The foot of
the stairways in heaps, and all at
tempts to bring order out of the con-
fusion were at first fruitlesS, but final

check the children, although they had
to contend with an excited mob of
weeping mothers that had appeared as
soon as the news of the fire spread out
over the neighbOrhood. The fire itself
amounted to little and as soon as it
was eXtinguished an examination of
the injured was commenced. 1t was
found that while hundreds were badly
bruised and shocked, no one was fatal

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 23.-The strike
of the railroad switchmen is taking an
ugly phase. Not single switch en-
CINE in the city was moved this morn
ing, and in the freight yards every
thing is in confusion. The morning
trains were abandoned half made up,
or not made up at all, except in the
MOnonpahala and Lake Erie and West
ern yards. The men, however, declar-
ed that not an engine should be fired
this morning in all the yards and bus
mess was at complete StandStill, and
in several places engineers and tiremen
or other employees of the roads were
pressed into the service and tried to go
on with the work, but the strikers in
terfered and successfully prevented
the departure OF any trains, although
some disposition to blockade the tracks
and obstruct the progress of men who
desired to work was exhibited and
only one instance of positive violence
was reported during the night.
A new feature III the switchmen' S
ttrike, and one which promises to lead
to important results is that this after
noon the managers OF the indianapolis
Decatur s. Western conceded the de-
mand of the striking sWitchmen, and
the latter returned to work. The con-
cession includes 50 so per day for help
ers, 1910 for foremen and twenty-siH
days to constitute u month, and ten
hours a days work with pay for over
time. The night men to be

is one of the most gigantic swindles
and defalcations ever known in Saun-

Scoville, one of the owners, has altered
many of the notes payable to the

more than they originally were and
that he then deposited these notes
with other banks as collateral for
money with which to speculate.
Notes which were paid and which
should have been cancelled have been
used in the same manner. tScoville
and Crafts, after confidencing the
business men of this city and their
friends out of as mitch money as pos
sible, suddenly decamped. IL is
thought they are now in Canada. No
statement of assets can be made as
yet but they are undoubtedly small.

Dressed Beef InvestieatiOn.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 2S.-The inveStiga
ton committee were late in coming to
order this morning, it being nearly u
O'Clock before the chairman's gavel
fell. Senator Plumb was not present
and Senator CullOm was too i'll to be
present and has gone home.
VIM. Peters, OF Allegheny City,
Pennsylvania, was the first witness.
He has been butcher III Pittsburg for
the past Thirty years. He WAS asked
what effect the dressed beef trade lad
on that market. lie said ii had de
pressed the butch, rs interests. He
had refused to handle it at
first, but butchers were told by
the Armoufs that if thy did not handle
it they would establish shops i'll that
vicinity, which they did. The dressed
beef people also sold lard for 81 cents
which could not be made and SOLD for
I24 cents. Witness said the cattle
trade had fallen off d great deal III Al
legheny. After obtaining control the
dressed beef companies had closed their
shops and the butchers were now SELL
ing their goods.
Jefferson Reynolds, of Las Vegas,
New Mexico, was the next witness.
He said the continued depression in
prices we receive for our steers has
been a great surprise TO us. When
was in New York and Hartford l in
quired at the hotels and of the butch
ers whether they were paying as much
for their cattle as three years ago. and
they said more. l informed them that
we were not getting within 30 per cent
of what We got three years ago.
Senator MaDderson-What did you
get for cattle five years ago?
WitneSs-About S37.
General Manderson-What do you
get now?
Witness-AbOut SI1.
Senator Henderson The cattle loss
eS in Montana three years ago were
unprecedented, were they not?
Witness-Yes, SO l have been in
formed.
Senator Vest-Aud yet your business
was not benefited in the least?
Witness eS, we expected an in
creased trade but there WAS no adj
vance.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Reynolds
testimony Senator Henderson said
that he thought as only a majority of
the committee were present it would
not be advisable to continue the invest
igation and as the Investigation could
be taken up more adVantageouSly
when congress met in Washington he
would move that adjournment be TAX
en- until December and that the COM
mittee re-convene at the capitol.
Senator Vest said that hs understood
that such was the wish of the majority
of the committee and the adjournment
was accordingly taken.
After adjournment of the senate
committee investigating the cattle
question, Senator Vest said to an As
ISOLATED Press reporter. Congress con-
venes one week from Monday and some
of the senators have private affairs
that need attention, so we will take a
recess for a week and resume work In
Washington. We shall hold sessions
from day to day until congress adiourns
and if we are not finished by that time
we will hold sessions during recess. We
intended to go to Chicago and Kansas
City, but the time is too short. The
adjournment to Washington will in
crease the cost enormously.
