thing in order would be to recommit it.
Senator Delamater moved the recommittal
of the bill, and as soon as the motion had
been carried Senator Upperman made 8
formal report Of the measure to the Senate.
NEwMyER PROTESTS.
Senator Newmyer, who had been an in
terested spectator up to this time, here
broke IN; II enter my protest against this
KIND Of legislative practice. If such things
as this can be done there is no telling what
cannot be done"
The Chair declared Senator Newmyer
not in order when he had gone this lar.
Senators Upperman and Ross moved that he
be given permission to speak, but Mr.. New
myer said he had nothing further to say:
The bill was then read for the first time and
passed.
Those who heard what passed between the
Senators Upperman and Delamater after
adjournment, say the conversation was not
in accordance with any rules laid down In
any book of etiquette. A little later, Sena-
tor Newmyer was writing at his desk, and
Chairman Andrews approached.
"Mr. Newmyer," he said, 'fI would like
to speak to you few moments"
"I am too busy" was Senator Newmyer's
brief reply.
Chairman Andrews walked away with
out saying anything. Friends of Sen
ator Delamater freely assert that it was Sen
tor Upperman's intention to suppress the
bill, and that he would not have appeared
in the Senate this morning had not Senator
Dachrodt reported it.

been trying to suppress bill" These re-

The Strange Story Told by Woman Who
Claims to be His Wife.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHi
NEW YORK, May 4-Jere Dunn, the
well known sporting man and the owner of
string of fast horses, has been sued by
Helen Bronson Dunn for limited divorce
Mrs. Dunn AYERS that she was married to
him in October, 1883, and charges him
with abandoning her last May. The
plaintiff lives in West Thirty-fourth
street. She was born in Kentucky and
has lived long enough in New Orleans to
have acquired a strong Southern accent.
She said to THE DISPATCH reporter to-
night that the first time she met Jere Dunn
was in Cincinnati, where he was racing his
horses. She was then young widow. She
came to New York in the spring of 1888,
and again met Mr.. Dunn. She said:
He told me that he did not believe in any
thing and had no faith in God OF the church.
He proposed that we should make mutual
agreement to live as man and wife. Such an
agreement, he said, would be as binding as
formal ceremony before minister. / agreed
to this and we went to the Coleman House to
introduced as his wife everywhere. 1

am legally married to him according to the
laws of New York State.
Mr.. Dunn denies her story. His lawyer,
John Brodsky, has filed an answer, in
which Mr.. Dunn says he was never married
to this woman and moreover has known
nothing of her for the last three years.

proposal to make the visit the occasion for
a display of military and naval pomp.
The Emperor desired to meet the Gar at
Kiel, and to accompany him thence 70

anything beyond a quiet reception while
passing through Berlin on his return from

The proceedings Of the Catholic Congress
at Vienna have fixed the attention OF the
whole of Germany. The clerical press Is
justly jubilant over the display of compact
and widespread organization of the Clerl-
Gals. The resolutions adopted by the con-
gress have been accepted as the programme
of the German Catholics.
CLERICAL DEMANDS.
They include declaration of the right to
demand from the State ecclesiastical con-
troll of education, the restoration OF Papal
sovereignty, the prohibition of Sunday
trading, the endowing and fostering OF the
Catholic press, and the formation OF CO.
operative peasant communities. A Dill IN
troduced in the Reichsrath to-day gives TO
the church authorities the power to provide
aud supervise religious instruction In prl-
mary schools.
The North German Gazette warns the
Emin Relief Committee that Captain Wiss-
man has no power to permit an expedition
to pass through his territory, and that
Prince Bismarck is disinclined to permit an
adventure which is likely to result in the
capture of Germans, for whose ransom 1t
will be difficult to arrange. This declara-
tion puts an extinguisher on the committee.

Governor Beaver Signs the Municipal Lien
Bill-WiII IL Affect the Penn Avenue
Liens-The Street Bill Hang
ing I'm the Balance.
tFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENCE


tFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
HARRISBURG, May 4.-This afternoon
when Controller Morrow came out of Gov
ernor Beavers private Office, he feelingly
remarked: 'I'm afraid we are in the SOUP"
1t was true. Tonight Governor Beaver
announced that he had affixed his signature
to Senator Newmyer's municipal lien bill.
The Governor said he made 1t general
rule to sign bills passed by the Legislature
unless they were unconstitutional. This
rule, however, does not apply to appropria-
ton bills. The condition of the revenues,
as we'll as other things besides the Constitu-
ton, come into play on these.
The committee that came from Pittsburg
to induce the Governor to abstain from
signing the bill were Mayor McCallin, City
Attorney Moreland, City Controller Nor
row, II. P. Ford, President the Select
Council; W. R. Ford, Collector of Delin-
quent Taxes, and o. X. Gardner and II. Z.
Bigham, members of Councils. The argu-
ments they presented are familiar to Pitts
burgers, and are to the effect that the bill
will apply to the Penn avenue liens The
Governor and Senator Newmyer, did not
agree with this. They said it would only
apply to future liens. City Controller Nor
row said aftelward to THE DISPATCH cor
respondent that, while they did not agree in
this opinion, he desired it known he at
tributed no wrong motives to Senator New
myer The other gentlemen concurred in
this.
The Pittsburgers had been informed that
they would be notified as soon as the bill
reached the Governor. Through some mis-
take they were not notified until yesterday,
and this was the last day on which the
Governor could take action. He had al
ready made up his mind, and the hearing
given the Pittsburgels was merely belated
act of courtesy,
Controller Morrow is much exercised con-
cerning the fate of the Pittsburg street bill.
It was read the first time to-day. On Mon
day it will be read a second time and on
Tuesday third time. As it was amended
somewhat in the Senate Committee il will
have only Wednesday in which to pass the
Conference Committee and reach the Cover
nor. 1t will require hard work on the part
of the Allegheny Senators to put it through.

HARRISBURG, May 4-Some of the
members are beginning to talk about and
figure up on the cost of the special election
on the 18th of June. With the exception
of the tickets, which are supplied at the
States expense by the State printer, the
counties will be compelled to pay the score
The election will cost the city of Phlladel-
phia over $40, 900, and Pittsburg nearly half
that much.
1t is held by many of the members that
the coming election is purely State affair
and that the State ought to pay the ex-
penses. If the session was not closing at
this time, bill would be promptly intro
duced making an appropriation for the pay
ment of the cost. 1t is too late now, but it
is extremely probable that bill will be
pushed in the next Legislature to reimburse
the several counties for the outlay. This
will probably be the best under the circum-
stances, since BY that time the exact cost
will have been ascertained to dollar. 1t
is doubtful. though, whether such a bill
would not have failed this session. The
Republican leaders are not aiding prohibi-
ton more than they must.

Ladies and gentlemen wishing to secure
eligible Suburban Homes, or sure and very
profitable investments, are cordially invited
to represent on this occasion, when they
may buy for about one-sixth the prices pre-
vailing in other localities for property not
so good in ITSELF and not half so accessible
to all business parts of both cities, and not
having one-tenth part the probability of
large and rapid increase in value. This
seemingly incredible claim will be more
than verified on inspection.
The overfowing population of Pittsburg;
the prospect of its continued growth; the
local advantages of Sheraden; the large
railway investments now in progress in its
vicinity; present low prices and the extra
ordinarily liberal terms can leave no doubt
in any mind that property in Sheraden will
not only double, but more than quadruple
in value in very short time
The terms Of sale, which will be fully set
forth in printed circulars, embody: First, a
nual payments. A LIFE INSURANCE
at the company's cost, which, in case Of the
death of buyer, will relieve his family Of
al payments not over due. A deed Of per-
petual lease under which only interest in
half yearly payments can be required, but
giving the purchaser the right to pay of the
principal when it suits him. AN OPTION
to carry purchase three years on single
payment of 10 per cent Of the PRINCIPAL and
half yearly interest. The company will

Alleged in Connection With the Settlement
of Oklahoma-A Chicagoan Tells
the President What He Knows
About the Matter.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-Mr. George W.
Cole, of Chicago, who was in Oklahoma
when that Territory was thrown open to
settlement, had conference with Attorney
General Miller this afternoon in regard to
the conduct of Government officers on that
occasion. According to his state
ment, Marshal Jones, of Kan
sas, and nearly all of his 700
deputies. took Illegal advantage of their
official position to get possession of choice
lands. Mr.. Cole said he was on the spot,
and was prepared to substantiate his charges
against Marshal Jones and his deputies. He
said further that Marshal Needles and
his deputies, of the Oklahoma dis
trict, were alleged to be equally
culpable in the matter, but as he was not
personally cognizant of the facts as far as
these officials were concerned, he did not
care to be responsible for the charges
against them. He had seen enough, how
ever, during his stay of three days in the
Territory, to convince him that certain per-
sons had been given unfair advantages in
to bring the matter to the attention of the
proper authorities.
He said he had talked with Secretary
Noble in regard to the matter, and it was at
his suggestionIthat he had called upon the
Attorney General. The latter thanked him
for his Information and assured him that the
matter would be thoroughly investigated.
He said he had already heard enough to sat
isfy him that some crooked business had
been perpetrated in Oklahoma, and he was
determined that the offenders shall be
brought to justice, if possible.

on Sea and shore.
SAN FRANCISCO, May4-The American
bark City of Papeete, which arrived to-day,
brought the first news of the hurricane
which swept the Society Islands contem-
poraneous with the great storm at Samoa.
Captain Bernd stated that the worst storm
experienced at Papeete for the past 20 years
occurred during the early part Of March.
his vessel arrived off the harbor of Papeete
on March 6, but was compelled to lay off
the harbor for six days, owing to the terri
bic rain storm which was prevailing. The
winds were from north-northwest, and came
direct from the land.
On March IL the Papeete reached the har-
Dor and anchored safely alongside the break
water. On the same date terrible gale was
blowing, and within "a hours following trees
were uprooted, fences blown down, and the
streets blockaded with debris. The wind
did great damage to shipping, the vessels
being compelled to seek safety in the open
sea. Two French Government boats, the
transport Laviere and the cruiser LIE Volta,
which were anchored in the bay, dragged
their anchors and were compelled to go to
sea to keep from going ashore. The City of
Papeete left Tahiti March 90 During the
entire trip up, light winds and calms were
experienced. IT never saw such state of
affairs before at Tahiti, said Captain Bernd.
"Thefe was not a tree on the island that was
not torn bodily from the earth, the streets
are all impossible in the city of Papeete, and
a general cessation of business has been ex-
perienced. When entered the harbor for
tunately got a good anchorage near the
breakwater, and that is all that saved my
vessel"
There was no tidal wave, but there was
most severe rain storm before the wind came
up. Tahiti will be some time getting over
the effects of the hurricane, and business at
present is at standstiIl. It is impossible
to go about the streets, they are so Uttered
with fallen timber. On the island of
Mattel, which lies opposite Papeete, the
the storm was more damaging, as it was
open to the full force of the wind. Great
injury was done to the plantations on the
islands. Captain Bernd stated there was
no truth in the dispatch from Auckland
several weeks ago, stating that the storm
had been accompanied by great loss of life.
There may have been some lives lost on the
other islands, but as far as could be ascer-
tanned before leaving Papeete, very few
lives had been lost there.

HARRISBURG, May 4-Under the driving
work of the leaders the calendars of the two
Houses are being rapidly thinned, so that
OIL Thursday, when the drop curtain is rang
down upon the final scene of all, it will be
found that but few measures have been shut
out.
In the House the orators, who throughout
the session have had continual carnival,
have become silent under compulsion, as
the members will not listen to harangues
now. 1t is one steady call of the roll upon
one bill after another, and everybody is
jealous OF time.
In the Senate it is different, but the
speeches there, in the main, have the virtue
of brevity. A great deal of fcommittee work,
and particularly conference committee
work, is being done. This takes the MEM
bers from their seats and, sometimes causes
bill to be defeated for lack of vote or
two. The disaster to the pool bill yesterday
can be traced 60 this cause. a number OF its
friends being out of the hall of the House
on legislative duties when the vote was
taken.
