THE EDITOR or THE WIER JOURNAL
QUOuTn uWAU KANgAg WTgWOWV

Wier journal have for some time
been conducting very fair and can
did discussion upon the prOprety Of
re-eleCting Mr.. Ingalls, TO the United
States Senate. The editor Of the
Journal makes a bad break, however,
in his last issue. He says:
"That Ingalls, ran on the democratic ticket In
1894 Is slmplya campaign he that you have
picked up. Nothing more"
For the information Of Mr.. Robi-
son we will give little testimony on
this subject. Mr.. Ingalls, was a can
didate for lietenant governor on the
democratic ticket in 1862, with Hon.
William Wagstaf as candidate for
governor, and the following is one OF
the planks Of the platform on which
he stood:
"That the people, absorbed In the dangers
which menace the country and the state, have
neglected and abandoned the old political organ
lzatiOns. That they deeply regret the present
unfortunate condition OF our beloved country
and hope that such measures may be adopted by
the government so that the constitution may be
preserved as II is, and the country may be re-
stored as II WAS"
The republican platform Of the
same year declared:
"That as the representatives Of the people OF
Kansas, We do most heartily indOrse the admin
istratlOn OF the president Of the United states;
that having implicit confidence In the integrity
of his character and the steadiastnesa This pur-
pOse we will cooperate with him 10 the extent
Of our ability in his efforts 10 perpetuate the
Union"
Il was during this campaign that
Mr. Ingalls, made his famous appeal
TO the citizens OF Atchison for their
support on the ground that Atchison's
candidate for United States senator
owed bis election to him. He said:
"But for my manipulation OF the votes Of the
Joint convention, Samuel G. PomerOy would have
been defeated by three votes"
His privilege to thus manipulate
the vote of the joint convention came
by virtue Of his position as secretary
Of the state senate, in assuming which
position he took an oath 10 keep the
records cOrrectlV.
When a public officer takes an oath
Of this character and afterwards pub
liCly Confesses that he manipulated
that record so az 10 have a man sent
to the United States senate who was
defeated by three votes, what is the
title that the law gives to such a
man?
In 1864 Mr.. Ingalls, was again a
candidate for lieutenant governor on
the democratic ticket, and the follow
ing extract from the address Of the
republican state central committee TO
the people will show what the Lin
coin republicans Of that year thought
of him:
"They have thus combined All the dlslOyal Gle
ments Of Che state against the loyal republican
party Of the state
"With this record Of facts we ask every voter
20 pause and think before no votes for Thatcher,
Ingalls, and Lee and their associates on the cop
perhead bOItors' ticket. II there Is man In Che
state who relOIces over the defeat Of our own
armies and sympathizes with treason, no win
vote for the ticket headed by s, o. Thatcher and
J. J. Ingalls,. II there is a man I'm the state who
loves slavery and hates freedom, he viii vote for
this Ticket.

HUNTING FOR ANOTHER VICTIM.
Trying to Clear Up the Strange Disappear
ance of Neville Pickthnli

Trying TO Clear Up the Strange Disappear
ance of Neville PickrhnIL
WOODSTOCK, ONT, March S.-New and
sensational developments are cropping out
in connection with the Benwell tragedy,
and the question now is whether there has
not been at least two victims.
Some two or three years ago young
Englishman, Neville 81. Pickthall, came
here, and about year ago purchased a
farm six miles south, and about four months
ago married the daughter OF his minister.
On February 10, last, Pickthall raised
$4,000 on a mortgage on his farm
and left here, saying to his
wife, az am going to double this
money before come back" He was seen
at Niagara Falls that night and said he
was going to New York to meet his sister.
The testimony at the Birchall e1amina-
tion showed that he reached New York, and
there met the Bircballs. Since then no
trace of him has been found and no word
has been received from him.
His disappearance caused a stir at the
time and the police sent a description of
him all over the country. The theory now
is that he was enticed to New York by
Birchall with the expectation of making
large sum of money and that he was put out
of the way for the money he carried with
him. A search of BirchalPs baggage will
be made for ANYTHING that might give q
clue to Pickthalls fate.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 8.-George W..
Gregory and John R. Ewing were arrested
this afternoon on the charge of robblng
Wells, Fargo & Co. of 5000 two months ago.
The men confessed they had engaged In
plot contemplating an extensive system OF
robbery. Gregory was formerly a messen-
ger in the employ of Wells, Fargo q Co.,
but resigned his position last December.
Before doing so. however, he Oh
tanned key which would unlock
the treasure boxes of the company and
another key which would give him access to
express cars. He took Ewing into his con.
fdence, and on January last they boarded
the ferryboat at Oakland, and while Greg
ory kept watch Ewing climbed into the ex-
press wagon while the driver was standing
at the horses heads, unlocked the
treasure box and extracted packages
containing S212 which the men escaped
with. While Gregory was in the employ of
about forty safes in the country offices or the
company, and the men next attempted TO
rob safes at Pataluma, Santa Rosa and Sac
ramento, but were unsuccessful, owing to
the combinations having been changed.
They then engaged the services of another
man whose name is unknown and formed
plan to "hold op" one of the express mes
sengers on the Overland train on its arrival
at Oakland. Their courage failed them as
they were about to execute this plan.
Gregory and Ewing next went to Lathrop
to rob an express car there and were plan
ming to go to Fresno for the same purpose
when they were arrested.

The statement in yesterdays DISPATCH
that the Belgian glass workers of the

The manager of the company referred to
called at this Office yesterday, and said that
there is no foundation whatever, for any
fear on the part of the people who have pur-
chased lots. The company guarantees a
clear title to every piece of property sold.
The gentleman continued:
The land in question has never been mort
gagged. as records will show. We heard of these
rumors. however a few days ago, and had COM
menced to investigate them for the purpose Of
discovering the persons who are responsible
for them. We will get to the bottom of the mat
ter shortly. ] think we know who to tie
TO even now. but we have not collected all of the
evidence yet A prominent gentleman on the
Southside interested in real estate in Jeannette
and elsewhere is largely to blame for the re-
ports.
Our company was organized December Q.
corporated under the laws of the State of Ohio
and the directors of our company are young
business men. who have gone to Lancaster to
engage in the manufacture of glass. We con-
slider that we have the best investment for glass
workers that can be offered to them, and we
are supported by all who have visited the place
and who have seen the property.
The manager stated that the proposed
plant is to be in operation by April 1. The
flint house is nearly finished; the furnaces
will be completed in four weeks. A tank
furnace will be added for the manufacture
of jars next year. When the works are COM
pleted, their cost will be $50, 900. Lancaster

miles from Columbus.
AS an ninducement to those who desire to

sion will be run to Lancaster next Saturday

Ohio agent was held yesterday afternoon,

rrRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON, March 8.-With the end
of the investigation of the Civil Service
Commission Frank Hatton, who has been
the sole prosecuting counsel. delivered q
parting shot in an article in the Post of to-
day, in which Commissioners Roosevelt and
Thompson are directly accused of having
aided Colonel Foulke, the Indian
civil service reformer, in preparing an
article savagely attacking President Harri-
son and other high officials, and accusing
them of engaging in conspiracy 20 thwart
and break down civil service reform, The
article was published over Foulke's name in
the st. Louis Republic and New York Times.
MIR. Hatton asserts that he can prove that
Roosevelt and Thompson aided Foulke in
the preparation of this matter.
Roosevelt and Thompson both stated to-
day that the allegation was absolutely false.
Foulke was not in the city, but his private
secretary declares that the statement is false.
AS Mr.. Hatton SAYS he has proof for what
he says, there may be more music over the
affair. The investigation of the Civil
Service Commission has developed posi-
tively nothing beyond he fact that
the Commissioners themselves at times
acted with poor judgment. and
absolutely nothing was brought out which
weakened in the least the principles upon
which the new civil service is founded. In
this respect it is admitted on all sides that
the investigation was fiat failure.
The spoilsmen have gained nothing. and
If they have shown any thing at all vital,
it is that Presidents have sought out and
appointed commoners who were not wholly
in sympathy with the reform, or who were
so dishonest as to evade their sworn duty in
the interests of their own favorites or the
favorites OF influential politicians.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, March 8.-The fate
of the eight men who were entombed in the
South Wilkesbarre shaft five DAYS ago
has not been sealed for good yet.
Workmen who were engaged in laying
pipe from the Stanton mine to the Hill
man mine were startled at o'clock this
evening by loud knocking on the main
water pipe which runs all through the
mines. The men stopped work at once.
George Mcdonald cried out: "My God,
what can it mean. Is it possible that they
are still alive?" There is good reason to
believe now that they are. If they really
do exist in the land of the living their
whereabouts at present must be on the top
lift of Hillman vein.
They are able to get air there, but how do
they manage to live? The latter is easy.
The men when they found they were
hemmed in took a mule along with
them to Hillman vein. The mule was
kept for day or two, and then the men,
finding no release at hand, slaughtered him.
Double efforts will now be put forth to res
cue the men.

GREENvILLE, MISS, March S.-The
river is still steadily rising, and now stands
at 421z feet, the highest stage by
five inches ever recorded here. While
the headwaters are falling, the
end of the rise is not passed.
Indications are it will rise here for at least
ten DAYS longer unless there is crevasse
below. From Greenville south to Mays
vile the 1882 height is exceeded. Then the
scene of the struggle was along Bolivar
front Now, owing to levees building Oh the
opposite shore, it is along Washington and
Issaquena until below Maysville.
The line of the levee at all points is being
watched, and the weaker low places are
being strengthened. There is small danger
of the levees being overtopped. Many
thought the grade was being raised too high
but it is not SO. The danger is in the hap
pening of the unexpected. There will be
no relaxation OF vigilance. On the watch
being constant and sleepless now depends
the victory,

ANOTHER DAM IN THE OHIO
Will Probably be Included In the Present
River and Hnrbor Bill.


rPRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON. March 8.-Colonel Mer-
ril1, the United States Engineer in charge
of the Pittsburg district, appeared to-day by
invitation before the Rivers and Harbors
Committee, and explained the method of
building the movable dam at Davis Island,
on the Ohio river, and the use to which it is
put. The committee had requested him to
come here and made this statement because
there are number of projects in different
parts of the country pending before them, in
which it is proposed to make use of this sys-
tenn and they desired to become familiar
with it.
Colonel Merrill was highly complimented
at the conclusion of his address upon the
clearness with which he had explained the
operations of the dam, and also upon the
success which had attended his work upon
it. He has recommended, In his annual re-
port, the building of four more dams Of tie
same kind between Davis Island and
Wheeling, at cost of about 5000. 900 each,
and it is probable that an appropriation for
one of these will be included in the river
and harbor bill now in course of prepara-
ton,
