His Remarks at the Last Days Session OF
the Baltimore Conference.
BALTIMORE. Mp, May 2l.-The last day S
business session of the Seventeenth Ma
tional Conference of Charities and Correc-
tions was begun this morning at $3.50
O'Clock. The following is the synopsis OF
the address of Cardinal Gibbons delivered
tonight
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN AS had not
an opportunity of uniting with my fellow
citizens in rendering you hearty welcome,
| beg TO unite with them in wishing you all
a safe and happy return TO your respective
homes. Whatever may be our differences
in point of faith. it is gratifying TO reflect
that we stand tonight shoulder TO shoulder
and hand to hand on the common platform
of charity and benevolence. There IS
enormous wealth in the country-there Is
great poverty; but there is more charity
where wealth and poverty abounds-thanks
to God charity superabounds.
Nomatter what efforts may be made Dy
philanthropists and social economists Tor
the removal of poverty, we must make up
our minds that poverty, III one shape or an
other. will always exist among us. The
words of Christ will be ever verified ::
.'The poor We have always with you" Ion
might as well try 10 legislate vice out OF
existence as to legislate poverty and suffer
ing out of the world.
The great question which confronts you,
ladies and gentlemen, is his, how are you
to subserve the interests Of the poor and
suffering. Three methods are proposed
First by promiscuous almsgiving. Second,
by relegating the poor and distressed to
State and National Institutions. The third
method is when number Of men and wo-
men. united by spirit Of zeal and charity
for their fellow beings, voluntarily band
themselves together for the purpose of re.
ucvlng the distress Tnis Is inc best of
all methods and il is yours.

THE BRILLIANT MURDER.
Inc Coroner Decides Martin Was Dead
Before Thrown in the River.

Coroner Starr, of Steubenville, held an
Inquest on the remains of Philip Martin,
the man who was found drowned Tuesday
evening, at Brilliant and for whose muir
der Ignatius Murray, of Wellsburg, was
arrested. The inquest was held in the
Mayor's office at Brilliant. Murray was
the first man examined. He stated that he
and Martin had had a scuffie in the old
boat house, near which Martins body was
found, but as it was dark he thought the
man was a Hungarian or an italian, and
he made the fellow jump through the win
dow of the boat house into the river, and
that he then left. He said he did not
throw the man through the window.
Ferryman Waddle, on whose boat Muir
ray went over to Wellsburg, testified that
Murray had told him that he had thrown
the man through the window. William
Mackey, the pilot Of the boat, testified TO
the same statement.
An examination of Martins body showed
finger marks on the neck, and one ear is
also bruised and blood was running from
il. There was no water found in the
body, such as would naturally be found in
man who was drowned, and it was the
opinion of the physicians and Coroner that
Martin was dead before his body was
thrown into the river. The physicians
held post mortem examination, but they
refused TO make a public statement.
Murray was bound over to the grand
Jury and sent to Jail at Steubenville, no
bail accepted.

CASHIER UNDER FIRE.
Looking Into the Affairs of the Defunct
Bank of America.


PHILADELPHIA, May 21.-A commit
tee of the depositors of the defunct
Bank of America put the cashier under
fire of questions to-day. He said Boy
au. who had apparent large credit,
had no account with the bank. The
$50, 600 to his credit was passed
to j. J. McFarlane and L. w. Banks.
Another book-keeper nominally only
had credit of .Sl25, 900; Geo. f. Work
drew the checks, and the cashier acted
under instructions from President
PfeifTer. Mr.. Work said that about
5000, 900 of the notes discounted by the
Bank Of America were for the associa-
tion. When asked how much money he
could pay back he replied: about $780,
600 within six months.
Don't you think" said the chairman,
there is hiding place for some of that
million and half OF dollars, and that
you can help us find the hole in which it
has been placed. We want the money
and want it quick. If you are rich
man, you will have lost nothing more
than these poor depositors, who have
lost their all
Mr.. Work assured him that he would
do all he could. After much question
ing il was elected that 300 shares Of
Girard Trust would turn out $4,000
cash, and he also mentioned other stocks
which would bring $4,000.
