READING, Feb. 81. An outrage by
alleged "White Caps" was perpetrated
near Friedensburg upon an old lady
named Heffner, who lives alone. Two
men dressed in long white dominoes
with white masks, went to her house
and told her they had come to kill her
She was so badly frightened that she
ran from the house half dressed and
bareiooted through the snow, and when
she arrived Mt a neighbor's half mile
away she was almost dead from fright
and is now under the care of u physi-
clan. The perpetrators Of the outrage
are being sougot for, and if found will
be dealt with severely.

last touches Of granting and vanishing
yesterday aud 1t makes great improve
ment to the room, both as to comfort
and appearance. II does away entirely
with the noise from tramp!ng footsteps in
ascending and descending the stairs
leading TO the Council chamber, and now
court proceedings can be carried on
without continued interruption. The
granting of the two pillars standing In
the partitions is really handsome Job,
and 1t has now been suggested 10 the
committee to have all the wood work In
the room grained In the same manner,
the old-fashion ed windows Of many lights
taken out and larger glass put In and
many other iu proVements made that
would make the place look more like
place where just ce is dispensed and life
aud death issues decided.
Chairman Dillin, of the Public Build
ing Committee, says he would go right
ahead and make all these improvements
If he thought bis appropriation would
hold out Coul ell some three weeks ago
Instructed the committee to made needed
Improvements in making the room pre-.
sentable and comfortable at a cost not to
exceed t410, but 10 spend that amount
now would exhaust the appropriation for
public buildings aud leave no money for
lighting purposes. Tie public, however,
will be grateful ior what has been done,
but Mr.. Dillin should not stop in his
march OF improvements anyhow until he
has had the expos end Of the clerks
room grained the same as the partition.

The Rev. Justin d. Fulton, a Baptist
minister from New York, and author of a
newl ly- published work entitled "Why
Priests Should Wed" lectured last night
in Ezion NJ. L. Church, before a large
audience Of coored people, on "Roman-
Ism and the Negio."
The speaker stated that he had at
tempted all over the country TO obtain
the use of ''whlle pulpits" In which to
d, noupce Romanism, but they were re-
fused. He had tried In Wilmington to
get white church In which to lecture,
but no church doors but those of eolored
churchss were opened to him. He said
he believed the colored race was des ined
as the strong power 10 oppose the power
of the Catholics. He eulogized the col
ored people for their bravery and con-
stancy to the true principles of Christian
ity, aud advised them 10 keep away from
Catholic churches.
He accused Hon. James G. Blaine for
being too much tinctured with Catholic.
ism, and thought that II he had rebuked
Burchard for his 'Rum, Romanism and
Rebellion" expression he would have
been elected and Chester A. Arthur, he
said, failet to be renominated because he
would not permit his son 10 marry
Catholic lady.
He urged his hearers to pray that Presl.
dent Harrison would have the good sense
not to put Blaine In his Cabinet
The lecture may be fifty denominated
as vi lent TRADE against the Catholic
church, more notable for its absence Of
charity than for consistent relig GUS zeal
Quite number OF Mr.. Fulton's books
were sold after the lecture for a dollar
apiece, or three for two Collars.

National Master Workman Rea and Ma
tional Secretary Watchorn, of N. 7. A. 1S5,
K. of L., composed of coal miners, were in
the city yesterday. They addressed meet
ing at Courtney on Tuesday night and every
miner who attended joined the order. Mr..
Watchorn has been organizing in the Hook
ing Valley, while Mr.. Rea has been at
work in the coke region and railroad dis
trict. They met on Tuesday and compared
notes.
Mr.. Watchorn says he visited four assem-
blies in the Hooking Valley, and since JAN
uary 1 two of them have doubled in mem
bership. One of them trebled and the other
now has four times as many members as
compared with the report on the first of the
year.

that when the April reports are received it
will be found that Division No. has

ceived from Division No. %, Eastern Ohio.
Mr.. Rea could not say anything definite
about the Pittsburg railroad district recent
Iy formed into Division No. %.
A convention of this division will be held
at Knights of Labor Hall this morning to
discuss the wage question, Master Work

He Says There Are Large Balances on Hand
on All Appropriations.
An item in an afternoon paper yesterday
stated that there is deficiency of $4,000
in the appropriation for the current running
expenses of the city for the month of March.
The report went on further to say that the
city officials would neither affirm nor deny
it. The writer OF the article evidently did
not take the trouble to see Controller Nor
row. When approached, the latter said:
The statement was evidently written by a
journalist who was hard up for news. If it was
true it would be news to me, but know it is
not. This Is not the season for deficiencies in
the appropriations Unlike the flowers that
bloom IN the kpring. the shortages in the ap-
propriations for the running expenses of the
city blossom forth IN the middle of winter.
They turn up about the close of the fiscal year,
which is January 81. -
The deficiencies never amount to anything,
but it would be an extraordinary thing if there
was not a shortage. 1t was estimated that the
outstanding tax receipts for this year will be
S250,000 l think the receipts will fall short
about $4,000 Last year, If you will remember,
we had a shortage of Sl50,000 in tax receipts
The deficiencies generally amount to about
Sl50
From what know of the finances to run the
city, there are large balances on all appropria-
tions, instead of a deficiency of $50, 900 for the
month of March alone.

1t is Not Run Merely as a Feeder Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad.
AN INTERVIEW WITH MR.. M'CARGO
The General Superintendent Gives Facts
Which Illustrate
THE REGIME OF RECEIVERS A SUCCESS

General Superintendent David NC
Cargo, of the Allegheny Valley Railroad,
passed through the Union depot last night
on his way to New York, where he Will
meet Mr.. J. F. Barnes, the President ana
newly-appointed Receiver of that company
for the purpose of consulting with him IN
regard to coal, freight and other matters IN
connection with the business of the Allie
gheny Valley road.
During his conversation with reporter
reference was made to the fact that Mark
W. Watson, Esq, attorney for B. F. Jones,
personally and as executor of the Laughlln
heirs, has asked the Court to appoint re-
ceiver on the road who had more of the in
terest of the general bond and stockholders
at heart than the benefit of the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad Company. Mr.. McCargo,
speaking on this subject, said he considered
the request of the attorney to
be entirely without reason or tounda-
tion. He denied that the Allie
gheny Valley Railroad was merely used
by the Pennsylvania Railroad as conven-
ience and feeder. In fact, he said the con-
nections of the two roads were such that any
advantages accruing therefrom were chiefly
to the interest of the Allegheny Valley
Railroad.
He then referred to the last inspection of
the Allegheny Valley road, made by Presl-
dent Roberts during last autumn.
"Mr. Roberts, Mr.. McCargo stated,
''then wrote to Mr.. Barnes, our president,
telling him that the Allegheny Valley was
in better condition since it had been in
the hands of the receivers than it had been
before that period. Mr.. Barnes told me
that himself
''The Allegheny Valley Railroad is now
in better condition than it ever was be-
fore. The roadbed has been greatly i'm
proved, the motive power is better, and our
business has largely increased, both in pas
senger and freight traffic. Since the road
has been under the management of receiv-
ers the operating expenses have been much
smaller than they were before; in fact, for
last year they only amounted to about 81
per cent of the gross receipts.
The capital stock of the Allegheny Val
lep Railroad Company amounts to $40, 600, :
600, of which the Pennsylvania Railroad
holds s., 900, 900 and the Jones 8 Laughlin
interests 100000.

THE HALL OPENED.
Masonic Lodge As Has the First Session in
the New Building.


the New Building.
Freemasons' Hall, on Fifth avenue, was
opened last night by the holding of ses-
sion of Lodge 45. The meeting was held in
the smallest of the three blue rooms, the
only portion of the building that is as yet
ready for use. The interest taken by the
fraternity was such that the room was
crowded all evening, over 500 members be-
ing present at different times. The music
was of special character, and was rem
dered by selected choir led by Prof Slack.
On the opening of the lodge A. B. Rut-
ledge, W. NJ, made an address of welcome,
thanking the visiting brethren for accept
ing the invitation of Lodge As for the meet
ing. There was music and prayer by the
chaplain of Lodge 45. The work was E. A.,
conferred by G. c. Shidle, d. D. G. M; F.

and an original poem was read by the Rev.
Mr.. Kelly. The new hall will be used
steadily from this time, but will not be
ready for dedication until June

GREAT GRANITE SETTLES.
The Massive Court House Pile, Though
Founded ON a Rock. Wriggles Down
LitfIe-RoofiuR Tiles Looaeped

The Massive Court House Pile, Though
Founded ON a Rock. WriggIes Down a
LittIe-Rooflug Tiles Loosened.
The frequent patching of the tiled floors
of the new Court House has been the cause
of considerable adverse criticism, some peo-
pie suggesting that # might be jobbt ", and
others that the work had not been well done
BY the contractors. What at first was q
subdue growl began to grow into sullen
roar, as taxpayers from day to day stumbled
over barricades erected to keep them off the
new work.
Yesterday, during the gale, couple OF
tiles fell from the roof of the Court House
and most people who saw them supposed
they were blown loose by the gale, and
there was fresh impetus given to inVid1-
Gus criticism.
There was one man, however, who hadn't
time to think of criticism, and that was
Procureur-du-roi Porter, who narrowly
escaped death. He was satisfied to get on
with whole skin.
Commissioner McWilliams was asked
what he knew of the matter, and he said the
explanation was simple. When the Cen
tsr nial celebration was in preparation some
workmen who put up flag poles left box
containing nails high up in one of the re-
cesses of the tower. The blast yesterday
blew the box out of Its resting place, and,
as it fell with its contents unspilled before
contact with the roof, the shock was sufi-
cient to shatter some Of the tiles, and they
fell to the ground.
Just at this juncture in the investigation
Building Inspector Frank came along, and
be was asked to explain WhV the Court
House floor tile bulged up so generally.
He stated that it was cause by the settling
of the building. Owing to its Vsstness, the
settling is imperceptible, but it settles all
the same, and. the tile being laid and ce-
mented so closely, they must either crush or
bulge up, and being strong, they tilt. Mr..
Frank opined that when the settling was
finished the floor would retain its horizon
