HIS Fireman, Henry lie CIOche, Makes n
Confession TO the Coroner's jury.


CHICAGO, Sept. 2S-A sensational climax
ended the corOner's investigation this evening
into the Washington flights railway disaster,
day or two ago, by which six suburban
passengers on the Rock Island road were killed
and dozen persons scalded and
mangled. The jury. had just returned a
verdict holding Engineer Seth Twombly
and Fireman Henry lie ClOche responsible for
the wreck and committed them to jail, when
LeCloche broke down and admitted having
perlured himself in swearing Twombly was not
drunk. The fireman then made an extra0rdi-
nary confession telling of his wild ride with q
drunken engineer, the son of the master me-
chanic OF the road. LeCloche intimated
that compulsion from high officials of
the company has prompted him TO
lie. From lie Cloche's statement it appears
that Twombly and himself had gone to a sa-
loon before starting out with the .reight train
Twombly drank freely, but, said LeClOche, "he
ued: "He ran the engine all the way himself;

Was he asleep at the time just before the
accident?"
II don't know. His head was out of the cab
window at the time, and he might have been
asleep without my knowing it,"

French Gendarme.

French Gendarme.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 3O.-A special cable
dispatch to the Press says: Oliver r. johnson
of Indianapolis, vice-consul of the United
States at London, paid visit TO Paris this week
and had an experience there which threatens
to strain the relations between our country
and France. Johnson had occasion to go to
Neuilly, outside of the city gates, to visit
friends, and he employed the ordinary facre Of
Partisan commerce to convey him thither.
The vice-cOnsul has, in the course of his ca
reer, accumulated vast amount of ignorance
of the French language, and, consequently,
when he was halted at the city gate by gen.
darme, who proceeded to search his carriage
johnson called loudly upon his maker and
smOte the officer between the eyes. In mo-
ment the facre was surrounded by police, and
Johnson struggling valiently for the glory of
indianapolis. was held firmly while the vehicle
was thoroughly searched.
The only word that the vice-consul could un-
derstand in response to his frenzied inqui-
rieS for an explanation was pOulet, which
the brief period of his residence in a French
hotel taught him had reference to a barn-yard
fowl. When johnson laid the matter before
Consul-Gen. RathbOne of Paris, be was in
formed that his carriage was searched in order
10 ascertain if he was smuggling chickens into
the city to avoid the tax that the municipal
government imposes upon fowls. Johnson
does not however, consider this explanation
satisfactory one and he declares that if he did
not have a horror of precipitating a war he
would bring the matter before the U. 5. govern

REVIEW OF The WEEKS TRADE.
Business Indications Generally Favorable
Rates For Money Advanced.

Rates For Money Advanced.
New YORK, Sept. 2s.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade says: Business indica-
tions this week are generally favorable. The
exports from New York for four weeks exceed
last years by p per cent, and like gain else
where would mean an excess Of exports over
imports for the month approaching 100000
for the increase in imports here has BEEN but
81 per cent. But that excess would not meet
the months allowance for interest under valu-
ations and freight charges, so that foreign ex-
change has advanced during the week &C.
The bank Of England has raised its rate from 4
to per cent, and that bank lost $3.50 600
specie for the week the bank Of France also
lost S2,275,OOO, and the bank Of Germany 81
124,O0O. These evidences of foreign demand
with the low state of reserve at New York,
render the monetary future less clear, and the
rates for money have advanced during the
week fully per cent. on call. with increasing
caution in commercial loans. The treasury has
helped during the week by disbursing 3 1OO-
600 more than it has taken in, and the reports
from interior points all indicate an ample sup
ply OF money for legitimate needs and no
stringency.
Until Thursday the stock market had been
comparatively inactive though not declining
But sharp advance has since appeared, put
ting the average OF prices fully half a dollar
higher than a week ago. Reports of foreign
buying Of securities are circulated, but the
market seems still mainly confined to profess
siOnals, though its advances should indicate
stronger confidence as to the monetary future
and also as 10 early settlement of rates.
Manufacturers are clearly improving. At
Boston sales of wool have been 2,9SOOO0
pounds for the week, with prices about steady,
and the demand is more active At Philadel-
phla manufacturers are also bying though with
caution. No present change is noted in the
goods market. The demand for iron and steel
still meets the very large supply, and the
changes IN prices are all upward Coal is
rather stronger, but the demand does not yet
meet the supply. Copper has been a shade
stronger. Wheat has risen 23zc during
the week on sales of 24,OO0OO0 bush,
els, not because of larger foreign
demand, but because the supplies coming from
farms do not grade so well and not so large as
was expected. Corn has fallen over = cent
and oats = cent, with moderate trading
Coffee is = cent lower on sales OF 3l2, 600 bags
and oil cent lower on smaller trading. Pork
products are rather stronger and butter cents
higher. The general tendency of prices is up
ward Signs of greater activity in all direc
tiOns are encouraging.
The business failures number 192 as com
pared with total Of l9S last week. and 1o3 the
week previous. For the corresponding week
OF last year the figures were DO

THE THREE TARIFF BILLS.
Appraiser Shnretts of Baltimore Recol
mends Free Raw Material.


BALTIMORE, Sept 27.-Appraiser Sharetts
has transmitted 10 the secretary of the treasury
a report in reply to a request for a compilation
of the best features of the three tariff
bills presented to congress. 1t recommends
protection of home industries, but urges that
raw material and goods not indigenous
to the United States should be admitted
free, especially when they do not interfere
with home industries, as wool. tin, salt and
lumber. As foreign wool must be
used TO mix with the domestic article
to compete with the foreigner, it should be
free, as a high cost limits production of raw
wool here If it is free the mixed tariffs of the
senate bill is superluous. But if a tar if
on raw wool is to remain, the mixed
tariff is indispensable and there
must be a pound duty on raw wool together
with an ad valorem duty on the manufactured
articles. 1t recites that Indiana, Il
linois, Michigan, Virginia, Maryland
Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New
York and the Pacific coast are interested in
cheap tin and the output depends upon de-
maud which, in turn, fuctuates with the cost of
the output The demand for canned goods
being decreased by an increased cost of - cents

A Louisville Woman Given "a Divorce Ac-
eording to Mosaic Law.
LOUISVILLE, Sept. 90.-The rare ceremony of
divorcing woman from her dead husband, ac-
cording TO the old requirements of the Mosaic
law, took place at the Bnai-Jacob synagogue in
this city yesterday. The woman was Mrs. j..
Levin, whose husband peddler, was killed on
the 27th of last June by two tramps. She had
no children, and the old law of the orthodox
Jews is that in such case the dead mans eld-
est brother is to marry the woman, and raise
up children in the name of the deceased Mrs.
Levin, however, did not desire to marry Israel
Levin, her husbands brother, nor he her. She
had therefore. to be divorced, and as there
were none in Louisville, two orthodox Jewish
rabbis, who were required TO perform this GER
emony, were brought here from Chicago. The
divorce took place in the synagogue in the
presence of small congregation that had
thriftily been charged % cents a head.

A TRIUMPH OF GALL.
The Standard OIL Company Claims to Liter

FrNDLAY, o., Sept. 27.-LSpecial.l-In a case
on trial here to-day the Standard oil company
gave en- example of its far reaching gall. The
Standard seeks to restrain a railroad from pass
ing over land on which it has oil and gas leases.
The Standard people assume that when a
farmer leases them his land for oil and gas pur-
poses, he, by that act, renquishes all control of
his property, except for agricultural uses; that
he not even lay out track upon II
for his own use, or divide it into town lots,
without first obtaining the consent OF the
oil company; that the farmer has no rights
whatever in, on about the premises, only
such as pertain to purely agricultural pur-
suits; that he can not construct a road
way or drain a swamp uDOn his own
lands without infringing upon the rights which
the Standard company obtained when it Sc
cured an oil and gas lease upon his premises in
short, the ) ,andard oil company in this suit
claims an absolute control of all lands upon
which they hold leases for all uses purposes
and privileges other than those of 4 purely ag-
ricultural character.
