dictments were returned against Hanks,
Solomon, Jeremiah O'Donnell, Fred w.
Smith, Tom Kavanaugh and Joseph Kohn,
all being charged with attempting to
bride the jurors in the Cronin case. The
conspiracy was unearthed q few days ago
and not only includes county officials,
but outsiders Of high standing, and sever
al arrests have already been made, but
riore will follow. Not content with bril-
berry of men, an attempt has been made
to drag even innocent women into the
plot, and thus gain the end which the
friends of the defense have been working
on for the last five months. The plot was
revealed by a juror who was approached
and was told how to answer questions so
as to be retained on on the jury and was
offered $1,000 to vote for acquittal.

rill, the young son of farmer living near
this city, has been convicted of highway
robbery, the act consisting in compelling
August B. Brandmier, the son OF neigh
boring farmer, to give up ten cents and q
pocket-knife which he had just purchased
from Herrill for five cents. The case has at
tracted great deal of attention in this Sec
ton by reason of the trivial value OF the
property taken and the high standing of the
parties The defense was insanity, and
similar acts were shown to have been per-
petrated by the accused The penalty tor
the crime is not less than two nor more
than ten years in the penitentiary. Notice
wasgiven Of a motion for new trial The
costs in the case already amounts to sew
eral hundred dollars and the present out
look is that this 10-cent transaction will be
most costly one to the people of the
county.

IT FALLS FLAT,

Foreign Delegates Uninfluenced by Brit
ish Criticism OF the Pam Am erican Con-
gross.
New YORK, Oct 1.-THE Herald CORE
spondent who is with the Pan-American
excursionists telegraphs his paper as fol-
lows from Worcester: Il inter-
viewed the South American dele
gates on the persistent attacks
made by European, and especially
English, papers on this international con-
gress Not one of the gentlemen consid-
cred the utterances of the hostile journals
to have any weight, at any rate with them
selves"
Following are some of the remarks made
by foreign delegates:
Senior Jeronimo Zelaya, Honduras-''The
Government OF Honduras has taken the liveli-
est interest in this affair. We hope that some
thing may be done in the way Of an arbi-
tration treaty, so as to establish some means
to obtain perpetual peace. We desire to de-
velOp the natural resources of our coun.
tries. No matter what arrangement we may
make with the United States the English will
still have a chance to do considerable trading
We have no cause to complain of European
merchants. They have always dealt fairly
and kindly with us, and so should their news
papers now."
Senior Castellanas, Salvador-s'We naturally
desire to be prosperous and rich and therefore
this conference with the United States should
not be considered an attack Upon England or
any other European country
Senior Peraza, Venezuela-''All the powers Of
Europe are interested in increasing their COM
merce and In opening up markets by conquest
and placing their productions, which are very
large They see that this congress will re-
duce some of their markets and that
the opportunities will be transferred to
the United States. They also know that this
idea was difficult one to realize in past years.
The political interests in America and in tho
United States have developed q favorable poll
cy toward other peoples on this continent
whereas the Europeans have not. Your people
have inspired us with feeling of confidence
which Europeans have not. Americans
have avoided provocation. You are now max
ing goods that can compete with European
goods. So far every thing seems to he easy
for bringing about closer relationship and
intercourse between the three Americas En-
glishmen know that as we'll as we do. The fear
they exhibit Is more eloquent than any thing
thew can saw

Third March Reception,

Dress Goods and Dresses have had
their introduction. Next! Millinery.
To-day's first view will mark the high
est point yet reached in the Millinery
trade ON this side the Atlantic, and will
fifty complete the series of our Dress
Exhibits announced for this month.
Our place in this particular branch is
unique, and in fact our Exhibition of
Spring Millinery not only surpasses every
thing elsewhere in America, but probably
Paris as well.
America commands Paris. Paris does
NOT command America. From Paris,
Faulkner, Virot, Heitz-Boyer, Julia,
Cretaux, Raverdy, and Arot are all repre-
sented, but our own workrooms are a
Partisan echo. Deft fingers are quite as
dextrous in Chestnut street as in the Place
Vendome and our own specimens would
win plaudits in Paris.
Therefore, the Millinery Parlors at
Thirteenth and Chestnut streets ought to
be attractive to-day, and also the great
space in the Transept and north of it,
where the Untrimmed and the Trim
mings await the domestic skill that will
unite them,

Postmaster General wanamaker and

Postmaster General Wanamaker and
the politicians are likely to have a
conflict over the Philadelphia Post
mastership. Mr.. Wanamsker, acting on
the same plan that he has always fol-
lowed in conducting his own business
has been looking around for the best
man to fill the position, without
regard to his being political work or.
He has finally settled on MIR. John
Field, well-known energetic business
man, who would no doubt make a
model postmaster. This, however,
does not suit Messrs. Quay, Mechanics
and other politicians of the Quaker
City, consequently they are making q
kick about it. 1t has always been the
custom for the Postmaster General to
name persons for the positions under
him, and upon his recommendation
the President made the appointment
Now in this instance Mr.. Wana
maker has named and recommended
Mr.. Field, but as he is not politician
the leaders have one named of theil
own number for the position. Preside ii
Harrison is, however, aware that there
is and has for some time been fac
tional fight in Philadelphia and thai
VIM r. Leeds is a leader OF one of the
factions, consequently he cannot be
appointed without giving offense tc
the other eide. Under these circum.
stances we believe that he will sup
port Mr.. WanamaSer and appoint Mr..
Field, especially as this is one OF the
rare instances Of the office seeking the
man.
