THE TRIP OVER.
Continued from. First Pare.

Continued from FtTSt rage.
Iy will arrive tomorrow, and will stop at
the Arlington. Mr.. Morton's suit Will
consist of parlor, dining room and six bed
rooms in the main building of the house, on
the side opposite to the quarters occupied
by General Harrison. The suit is one of the
finest in the house, and has been occupied
by the Grand Duke Alexis, President Bar
ries, of Guatemala, Prince Napoleon and
the first Japanese minister to this country.
Beside these rooms, two parlors on the tirst
floor of the Arlington will be occupied by
Mr. Morton's partner, George Bliss, and his
family, and two other large rooms by Mrs.
Morton's sister, Mrs. Street, and her husband.
Chairman j. Sloat Fassett came over from
New York to-day. He is so knocked out by
the situation of Mr.. Thomes G. Platt that
he is unable to talk about it.
Some of the Amenities.
About 4:3O o'clock Major Pruden came
over from the White House with noee
from President Cleveland to President-elect
Harrison. At both the White House
and the Arlington it was said that
there was no objection to stating the
contents of the letter, but both Colonel La
mont and Mr.. Halford referred all who in
quired each to the other. 1t is probable
that it was simply letter of courtesy from
President Cleveland, offering to render any
assistance in his power that would contrib
ute to the comfort of the incoming Presi-
dent.
General Harrison and Mrs. Harrison will
call by appointment at the White House to-
morrow.
After dinner General Harrison and his
son-in-law, Mr.. Mckee, went ont for q
walk through the northwestern section Of
the city. In the evening General Harrison
and the ladies of his family received num-
ber of callers in the parlors of the johnson

rrRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT. J

HARRISBURG, February 26.-State
Chairman Andrews by this morning
had read the interview. in. The
DISPATCH in which he was represented as
offering to Senator Rutan, on behalf of SEN
ator Quay, but on conditions not prescribed
by that gentleman, the Republican nomina-
ton for State Treasurer'of the Common
wealth. He had nothing to say in reply,
and his form of response to a running fire of
questions was calculated to inspire belief
that in the Republican party degree of
harmony existed that must indeed be graft
flying to the chiefs of the party. The State
Chairman smiled blandly on the corre-
spondent as this information leaked out,
and was delightfully."- solicitious concerning
the latter's pulse, respiration and general
condition of health.
However, it is rumored that a combina-
tion is slowly being formed that will make
hard fight to wrest the control of the Re-
publican party organization from its pres
ent possessors. Gentlemen who are alleged
to be concerned in the matter are discreetly
silent and uncommunicative, but it is re-
ported that first move will include the
selection at the close of the present session
of Thomas Cochran for his old place as
Chief Clerk of the Senate. From that, if
successful, the new combination will 60 on
to greater things.
A partial confirmation of the rumors NAV
be seen in a remark made by Senator
Cooper to Senator Watres during the de-
bate in the Senate this afternoon on the
peace arbitration resolution, championed
especially by the Senator from Delaware.
The resolution requested our Representa-
tives in Congress to take action on this mat
ter, and instructed the Senators to favor it.
Senator Watres thought it wrong to do this
latter and said SO, when Senator Cooper,
quickly rising and wearing smile that
was not all smile and flushed counte-
nance, remarked: Occasionally it is
luxury in Pennsylvania to instruct our
United States Senators" When the yeas
and nays were called on the resolution Sem
ator Cooper was defeated by vote of 16 to
Is, though on rising vote it had been car
ried by 16 to Is. SIMPSON.

appeared that were also in forged letters.
Pigott had traced these sentences carefully
word for word. Then he interpolated or
added other sentences or phrases completely
changing the meaning of the whole letter
while preserving the integrity of portions.
Dates were also changed to make the
criminal interpretations applicable to illegal
events. Egan also found letters by Parnell
which had been similarly used. Photo
graphs Of all these and of Pigott's begging
and blackmailing letters were inclosed with,
oranda, recalling to Parnen all the circum-
stances attending the writing or reception of
each.
PRECIOUS LUGGAGE.
This was the precious piece of luggage
the young clergyman fetched to Parnell.
Until it came the Times case was as invnl-
nerable as fraudulent. No hint of the con-
tents of the package ever became public un-
Til Parnell himself, in an interview he had
with Pigott in the presence of Labouchere
and Lewis, asked Pigott certain questions
which disclosed to the culprit that evidence
was secured convicting him OF the crime.
Pigett either reported his fears to the
Times or was watched by its detectives and
traced into Parnell's presence. Then he
had to partially confess to his employers;
anu the AIVOruey 0euerdl anu MS cDl-
leagues then compelled LeCaron to'testify,
and be as malignant as possible, swearing
that Parnell declared to LeCaron that he
favored armed revolution and that Alex
ander Sullivan got him (LeCaron) into
secret revolutionary organization. This
was for the purpose of breaking the force of
Parnel's information about Pigott's ante
cedents.
But Pigott had no suspicion of the over
whelming completeness OF the knowledge
conveyed in the package to Parnell, and
did not realize until he got into Sir
Charles CLUTCHES that no calumny could i'm
pair the fatal effect upon him and on the
Times case of what Parnell knew. Had
Egsn not made the discovery, the truth of
the letters could have been only denied, but
their falsehood could not have been demon
strated. The situation would have been
Times victory, and victory of the Times
would be the ruin of Parnell, the Home
Rule party and the indefinite discredit OF
the Liberals,

HARRISBURG, February 26.-The Ways
and Means Committee of the House will to-
morrow favorably report the general revenue

man German to the effect that corporations,
limited partnerships and joint stock associa-
tions, chartered or organized for the manu-

furniture was reimposed, and this feature
was eliminated.

gomery Forster Insurance Commissioner of
the State, a position which he has held
since the organization of the Pennsylvania
insurance department. Mr.. Forster is a
Democrat, but the Camefons have always

The Invesfigation Into the Causes of tn
Fearful WiIkesbarre Explosion.

The Investigation Into the Causes of tho
Fearful WiIkesbarre Explosion.
WILKEsBARRE, February 26.-All the
bodies of the victims of the squib factory,
or the remains of them have been identi-
fed except one, girl of IA or 16 years. It
is said that she was a stranger, and came to
the factory for work. No one in Plymouth
is missing. The Coroner's jury met to-day,
and proceeded to the evidence of Foreman
Reese, who was so badly injured that his
life is despaired of. In his statement Reese
said:
During the forenoon the proprietor of the
factory came in and told the girls that as they
were not busy they should sort a lot of loose
squibs that were lying on the floor, some of
which were loaded and others empty. The
girls began to sort the squibs and Miss Jones
picked out what she considered the poor ones,
or those that were empty, and threw them
into the stove. One Of them happened to be
loaded and it exploded, the spark igniting lot
of loaded squibs lying near. The explosion
followed, and the first thing knew was lying
in field outside.
Reese was the only witness examined to-
day. Another pertinent fact was the pres
ence in the building of two more kegs of
powder than the borough ordinance allows.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
COLUMBUS. O., February 26.-The attor-
neys for the plaintiff in the Church divorce
case were treated to a great surprise to-day.
The cross-examination of Colonel Church,
the defendant, had been finished, and short
recess was asked for. The crowd readjusted
itself and appropriated every inch of space,
expecting that Teresa Schirzinger, the cook
in the Church family, and who was playing
an important part in the case, would be
called.
ALI had their necks craned when the at
torneys for the defense came in and Judge
Nash announced that they would rest their
case. Mrs Church, the plaintiff, remarked
In the hearing of great many that they
were bound to take care of Teresa.
The attorneys for the plaintiff stated that
they had not expected the case to close so
soon, and were not prepared on the spur of
the moment to begin their evidence in re-
buttal. A recess was then taken till after
noon, when large number of witnesses were
called to give evidences on minor points, but
there was nothing new brought out. The
McCaskey affidavit was offered, but the
court refused to receive it, as it contained
no new matter different from that which he
had testified to on the stand. McCaskey is
the hostler who claims to have seen so much
about the Church residence.
Mrs. Joyce, mother of the plaintiff, was
on the stand, and denied some of the i'm
portant points in the testimony of Mr.. Ken
nedy, Of Pittsburg, who was trying to act
the part of peacemaker in the case
By the defense closing the case where they
did they shut out the alleged confession
and statement which the servant Teresa
made to Father Els, and also prevented the
latter being brought on the stand. They
also do away with the necessity of calling
the girl.

COULDN'T AGREE.
Shea's Backers Don't Satisfy Joe Ridge OF
Tommy Hogan.


Mr.. ]. Philan, of Wheeling. was in the city
yesterday trying to arrange match for a fight
between Shea, Of Wheeling, and either Ridge
or Hogan, of this city. A backer of Ridge
met Philan during the afternoon and stated
definitely that Ridge would fight Shea at III
pounds, London prize ring rules, for $500 a
side. and if the referee could not determine
the winner at the end of 20 rounds,
the contestants to fight until he,
the referee, could decide. Ridges
representative asked S25 expenses for
his man to fight in Wheeling, and that the re-
ceipt be divided between the principals. He
also stated that the smallest gloves that the
law will allow shall be used. 1t was further
added that the Shea party would be al
lowed all the foregoing privileges asked If the
contest took place in Braddock.
In reply Mr.. Phllan stated that the only offer
he could make was TO match Shea to hight
Ridge for 500 a side, Queensberry rules,
and that the receipts be divided as
follows: 40 per cent to the winner; 20 to
the loser and 40 to certain party or club in
Wheeling who would manage the affairs.
These conditions ended all negotiations, as
neither the Ridge nor Hogan parties would
entertain them. Last evening Mr.. Philan
made efforts to meet the Hogan party again,
but his conditions were deemed too onesided,
and nothing was done.
Ridges representative offered to match his
man to fight Shea, who is feet inches high,
a, catch weight on Saturday next, or to-day,
for s2Oo side Ridge is only feet 3 inches,
but the offer was not accepted.

THE REVENUE BILL AMENDED
So as to Exempt Iron. Steel, Cotton and Woolen
Makers From 3-Mill Tax.

The Republican factions of this State are
drifting toward war. Chairman Andrews
evades the issue, but surface signs point to
the formation of a combination which will
endeavor to wrest party control from those
now in power. The first move is limited at
below. An amendment to the general reve-
nue. bill exempts iron and steel and cotton
and woolen goods manufacturers from the
3-mill tax.

Rifle Contest.

Messrs. ]. A .Huggins. of this city, and j.
w. Rothwell, of Washington, Pa, have de-
feated Messrs. Richardson, of Boston, and
Jewell, of Lawrence, Mass, in the big rifle
match. The final of the series of three con-
tests was finished yesterday, and as a
result the two first named won with consider.
able to spare. The local men had given up all
hopes of victory, as previous to the com mence-
ment of the third contest they were Is behind.
The last effort, however, changed matters con-
siderably, as it placed Higgins and Rothwell
winners of the match by SO points.
Yesterdays schooling was as follows: Roth
well, 416: Higgins, 40 making a total of S26.
Mr.. Higgins was very sick. The score of the
Eastern men were: Richardson, 397; Jewell,
374. The grand total for each contestant for
the three contests, l50 shots each, are: Huggins,
l,254; Richardson, l,242; Rothwell. l, ,2l4; Jewell

another match.

ABOUT THE DUQUEsNEs.
Manager Sweeney Makes Pointed State
ment About His Club.

Manage ]. ]. Sweeney, of the Duquesne
Ball Club. of the County League, called at this
Office last evening and made the following
statement regarding reports about his club.
He said:
Undoubtedly there are two or three cliques
using all possible means, of an ungenerous
kind, to ruin the Duquesnes. Why this should
be so don't know, because we have done nobody
any harm. Despite the fact that we are MEM
Der of the league for this year and also that we
are ready to fulfill every obligation required,
it was published yesterday that we are on the
ragged edge and that We have no financial
backing Now this is not gentlemanly, mas
much as it will be time enough for anybody to
complain when we fail to comply with require
ments. The people who busy themselves in
circulating such reports are no friends of the
league or of baseball What we pledge our
selves to do is to produce good team when
the County League season opens and carry
that team through the season. Were the for
felt 500 instead of SIS would still be in line,
and depend upon it we'll have our men ready
when the umpire calls play However, it
seems that those who are trying to wreck us
are the people who want to fill our place"

O'Connor Wants Sullivan's Old Manager TO
Go to Australia.

SAN FRANCISCO. February 26.-Aquatic cir
cles, in stir over the Gaudaur o. Connor mud
die, were further stirred up to-day by a move
on 0'Connor's part.
The Kanuck called upon Pat Sheedy, John
L. Sullivan's old manager, and submitted a
proposition to 60 to Australia under Sheedy's
management. Sheedy told him he could
not give him an answer until after he saw the
race with Gaudaur. If there was nothing
crooked in that affair he would consider the
Australian trip. He stipulated, however, that
should they go they share the money equally.
This met with O'Connor's assent
O'Connor awaits the arrival of the Zealandia
expecting to learn from Ned Hanlan some ad-
vice relative to Australia and its scullers.
1t is limited here that Joseph Rogers the
Toronto druggist who is behind O'Connor, is
afraid to back his man against Searle.
