PIONEERS DAY.

Notable Gathering of Pioneers at the
Marietta Celebration - General Ewing
the Orator of the Day.
MARIETTA, O., July 1S.-The pioneers at
the Marietta centennial had jolly re-
union for an hour this morning before the
regular exercises commenced. There
were present great number of very old
persons. Among them were three whose
ages aggregated three hundred and two
years. There are more persons over
eighty years of age in this, the first coun-
ty of the Northwest Territory, than in any
other county in the West. The early part of
the day being given up to an informal re-
ception for old people, brought together a
remarkable gathering of silver haired
men and women. Mayor Coulter well
coined the pioneers of the Northwest to
the city in a short speech, and handed
Governor Foraker a handsome gavel,
which he presented to General Thomas
Ewing, the president of the day. The
gavel was the gift of the Women's Gem
tennial celebration, and is to be placed
in a sealed iron box, there to remain till
the bi-centennial of the origin of civil
government in the Northwest in 1888.
General Ewing, after accepting the gavel,
was introduced by Hon. George N. Wood
bridge. who eulogized his father, Senator
EWluS, III d SoIy udppy Wdy, oAu uoSi'sl Oo
that General Ewing was 'chip OF the
old block" upon whose capable shout
ders the mantle of his distinguished
father had fallen.
General Ewing wore a cluster of buck
eyes in his button-hole and sat on a chair
lavishly trimmed with buckeyes. His
audience was splendid one and had in it
the greatest number of descend
ants of the colonists who came
to Ohio in 17sS that could be brought
together. The name Of Ewing is one that
is widely known in the West, and there
was great desire to hear the repre-.
sentative of the family speak here to-day.
There were special excursions to the
Ewing meeting, and the audience, OF
course, was a great one. The thorough
and brilliant speech of General Ewing
was happily supplemented by an ode
written for the occasion by Rev. w. l.
Lee, of st. Louis, who is among the sweet
est of Western singers

the glass schedule, which had been passed over
informally, were disposed OF, but after the Leaf

time for debate and the House adjourned with.
out finishing the tobacco paragraph.
IN the Senate, on the 10Th, several bills q,
minor importance were taken from the calen
dar and passed. There hours were spent Id

Ono of the Recently-Arrested Batch Of
Chicago Anarchists Concludes That His
Best Course Lies in Confession, and Gives
the Entire business Away.
CHICAGO, July 19.-Frank She1bowa,
who, with John Hronek and Frank Chap
peck, were arrested for conspiring to
murder Judges Gary. Grinnel1, Inspector
Bonfield and others, has made full and
complete confession. Shelbowa was not
locked up at the Armory yesterday with
the others, but was taken to an outlying
police station, where last night he was
induced by Inspector Bonfield and tive
Bohemian secret-service detectives to tell
all he knew of the plot Through the in
terpreters, Shelbowa told the whole
story from his first meeting
with Hronek and Chappek. In SUBJ
stance his confession was about the
follows: After explaining how he became
acquainted with them he says: Hronek
unfolded his plans for revenge, and told
him of a bomb which he (Hronek) had in-
vented. 1t was small, not larger than
base ball, and was to be loaded with
dynamite and bits of broken glass. II
was denied by SheIbowa that the plot was
to murder the judges and the inspector,
that is, that he heard Of no such definite
scheme. They were talked of, as was
Captain Setback, and he understood that
he was to pay more attention to the
Captain than to any one else. There
was no concerted plan of action,
but it was agreed that when
all preparations were made, he and
two others were to be informed by Hronek
just what they were to do in the way of
avenging the death of the MARTYRS"
About July he was visited by Hronek,
who brought him two bombs, of the bro
ken glass variety, and two sticks of dyn.
amite, from which he was to make bombs
of gas pipe after the usual pattern. The
other two men were also supplied with
bombs and dynamite. He had the stuff IN
his house for about week, and then grew
so afraid that it would be discovered that
he made way with it by throwing it into
privy vault. This was the substance Of
the confession which Inspector Bonfield
to-day placed in the hands Of type
writer operator for the purpose of having
it put in shape for use in court.
The confession is much more in detail
and covers about thirty closely printed
pages. By this confession it is UNDER
stood, Shelbowa has virtually secured
immunity from prosecution. He is in re-
atty much less guilty than either Hronek,
Chappek or any one of the men not yet
arrested. He has agreed to give his tes-
timony in open court, where it will cor
roborate the other evidence secured by
the Inspector against the conspirators.
The other men are still at large but ca
be arrested at any time.

A Strike Not Probable.

CHICAGO, July 19.-Tha outlook now is
that the threatened strike Of street -car
employees will not take place. The two
conferences held yesterday were of an
amicable nature. The committee from
the North Side cable employees held q
consultation with President Yerkes yes
terday, and said afterward that they had
come to an understanding with him, and
that he had made certain concessions.
The committee will report to the associa-
ton Saturday evening. The minor
grievances of the West Side employee
were righted yesterday, and although
there are still some important differ
ences, it is thought they will be settled
an1icably.

NEW YORK, July 1S.-When told that
certain Anarchists had been arrested at
Chicago on the charge of being concerned
in a new dynamite plot, Johan Most
seemed surprised, but said that he did
not believe it was true. 'When police
men discover so-celled dynamite plots, {"
he continued, sit is safe to assume that
the policemen themselves are the authors
of the exploits. Several times during the
past few months strangers have come into
my Office and have offered to blow up all
the public buildings in Chicago if I would
sanction such proceeding. OF course,
paid no attention to them, and / am con-
vinced that they were either some of
Pinkerton's men or disguised policemen

horse car one evening recently, and next
her sat a native of the queen realm The
window behind the Britol was open, and
the cool wind blew in on the woman, max
ing her shiver At last she said In a lady
like way, Wont you be kind enough to
close the window behind you, as it makes
me very cold?" 1t would hardly have
caused the man any inconvenience to
grant this request. but he replied harshly,
Il prefer it open; you Americans can't
stand anything; you all seem to have con-
sumption" The other passengers in the
car were astounded az his incivility, and
there were many angry glances cast at tho
royal subject.
Finally a gentleman rose ON the oppo-
site side of the car, and, approaching the
Englishnaan, with about 900 pounds svoir-
dupois, leaned over him, and. grasping the
window, slammed i. down with vigoE;
