FOR THIS YEARS EXPOSITION.
Manager Johnston Proposes to Add Man,
Interesting Features.

Manager Johnston Proposes to Add Many
Interesting Features.
There was to have been meeting Of the Ex-
position Society directors yesterday afternoon,
but owing to the absence from the city of three
of the board quorum was not present.
Manager Johnston had number of matters
that he wanted to submit to the board for the
government of this years Exposition and to
lot of new features that he says
will surprise the hveliest residents
One of these features he says will attract the at
tention of the entire country, from Maine to
California
A special exhibit of the work of the pupils
in the schools of both cities, similar to that
shown at Paris and at the Centennial in Phila-
delphia, will be made this fall, and will natur-
ally be of interest to the pupils themselves,
their parents and friends. The grounds en-
closed in the Exposition fence are to be laid
out in neat grass and flower plots, and here
There will be fine horticultural display, such
as was never seen in the city.
The Thirteenth Regiment Band, of Brooklyn,
led by the famous Ennis will be here again,
and will be given better opportunity to dis
play their talents. The band will be brought
down from the gallery and grand music stand
erected for them opposite the main doorway,
on Duquesne way. Seats for some 500 people
will be placed directly beneath.
Lovers of art are also to be given better Op-
portunity to see the pictures by natural light.
The art gallery was not finished last year, and
gas jets had to be put in and kept burning all
day. Now the roof has been altered and a
large skylIght has been placed over it all. AL
together, the prospects for the best Exposition
Pittsburg has ever seen are exceedingly good,
and, as a guarantee of it, applications for
space are being received from good people all
over the country.

ton of this city Is in high state of excitement
over an attack made by some miscreant, at

A Rumor That sIIcofE VIII Return and
Make n Confession.
ESPECIAL TELEeRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.I
WASHINGTON, February 18.-There Is
great excitement and much whispering
among certain people in Washington TO-
night The excitement is due to a rumor
that Erminie Thibault, alias Miss
Louise Barrett. either is on her way to
Washington or has actually arrived
here upon an important mission. This is
the young woman who was the companion
of Craven E. SiIcott while he was cashier to
the Sergeant at Arms of the House of Repre-
sentatives, and who disappeared with him
when he fled from Washington at the begin
ming of December, taking with him,
as it was reported at the time $40, 900 or
$50, 900 belonging to members of the House.
At late hour the rumor reached the Chief
of Police, and a statement was made at
police headquarters that the woman had
been seen on the street during the day.
Tonight the police are searching for her,
but they have not yet got on her track. A
more important declaration, however, was
that she would soon be followed by Sileott,
who intended to surrender himself to
the authorities, and make a
clean breast OF what he knows.
Many we'll informed persons have held all
along that Silcott was not the greatest crimi-
nal; that, in fact, though he might be crimi-
nally involved, he was mainly scapegoat.

BUCK EWING is not only firm but talks very
reasonably.
HARRY WRIGHT and his ball team left
Philadelphia for the South yesterday.
IT is stated that Carkeek was offered ''big
money" to allow Tom Connors to defeat him.
ACCORDING to President Nimick we can
make our minds up for ten National League
clubs
THE manner in which President Day is hust-
ling indicates that he has little or no faith in
the pending law suits.
MANAGER SULLIVAN, of the Lowell club,
has consulted counsel, and will enter suit
against Manager Hart, of the Boston Brother
hood club, to restrain him from using Morgan
Murphy as player, while on the Lowell re-
serve list.
DAVE ORR claims that he will be 5000
better off at the end of three years with the
Brooklyn PLAYERS club than be would be if he
had stayed with Columbus. He says he was
never treated better IN his life than by the
Buckeyes, and he only made the change simply
for pecuniary reasons.

HIS LAST FAREWELL.
Hopkins Tells Young Men to Take Warning
From His Fate.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcRI
PHILLIPsBURG. February 1S.-W. Seeley
Hopkins, who is to suffer the penalty of his
crime on the scaffold on Thursday, has written
another letter cautioning young men to avoid
the rocks, shoals and quicksands of Iife.y He
has been visited by several young men from the
Y. NJ. q. A, which seems to have encouraged
him somewhat. He says:
ti"DEAR FRIEND CoNN-I thank God that heed
ed your and other Kind friends advice for to-day
all is well ana 1 shall die content. The. world
seems bright to me, yet do not want to stay. The
promise God has given is far brighter than
anything this world contains.
my earnest prayer is that the ranks Of the Y.
M. q. A. will increase tenfolG, aud my advice to
all young men is that they become members of
good societies and be true workers in Gods cause,
for If ha0 needed Gods commandments l would
to-day be free man. Tell them to stop before it
hope they will seek God while yet they have
time.
II hope some poor wanderer will heed my ad-
vice. l now close with long farewell, and may
God reward you and the members of the Y. M. g.
A. for all the kind interest you have taken in me,
is my earnest prayer. Truly yours.
Nv. SEELEY HoPKINs.''
The scaffold on which Hopkins will be hanged
has been finished and works perfectly, having
been thoroughly tested. He will drop about
eight feet. He still eats heartily and to-day
joked with several people, saying how nicely
the scaffold will work. He weighs 134 pounds
and keeps up the best of spirits, betraying no
sign of a breakdown.

ESPECIAL TKLEeRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.l
PHILADELPHIA, February 18.-The cleo
ton returns are coming in very slowly, ow-
ing chiefly to a very large number of names
on the city ticket for. Police Magistrates
and members of City Councils. Official re-
turns from not single ward have been re-
ceived up to midnight. but enough unofi-
cial and scattering returns are in to
show that the Republican ticket has carried
the city by very large majorities. Charles
E. Warwick is reelected City Solicitor,
and Captain John Taylor is elected Receiver
of Taxes. The Republicans elect IA Police
Magistrates and the Democrats seven, the
law giving one-third of the vacancies to the
minority party.
Ayres, the tariff reform candidate for Con-
gress in the Fourth district, is showed uD-
der. The indications now are that the ma
jority for Reyburn, the Republican, will
not fall much below that given to the late
w. D. Kelley. Both chambers of the City
Council remain largely Republican.

the Oklahoma bill, Mr.. Payson, of Illinois,
in the chair. The general debate was limi-

time, and in retaliation for the enforced

One hour and 20 minutes were consumed
in the reading, and it was after 8 o'clock be-
fore Mr.. Struble, of Iowa, took the floor in
support of the bill. He criticized the Senate
bill, because it failed to include all of the

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH
COLUMBUS, February 1S.-The Commit
tee on Privileges and Elections of the
House reported this evening in the Peter
son-Blair contest. There was majority re-
port by the Democrats and a minority re-
port by the Republicans, which latter
showed that Blair, Republican, had a ma
jority of 81. which was increased on the
recount. The report stated that number
of ballots were found in the ballot
box sufficient to overcome the ma
jority of Blair, which had been taken out
and marked since the election was held.
This fact was shown by the election judges
on the hearing before the committee. This,
however, did not have any effect, as Peterson
was seated by party vote amid the greatest
confusion. The fact of Peterson being voted
in is OF little consequence except to himself
as his vote was not needed for any partisan
legislation.
The lower House was in great state of
confusion when an adjournment was reached
at 7:30 this evening. An effort was being
made to rush through under the previous
question gag a number OF reorganization
schemes when Colonel Williams, of Preble
county, demanded to be heard. The Speaker
ordered the Sergeant-at-arms to seat him,
but he dared the officer to lay hands on him
and the situation looked threatening for
time. Monott, of Stark, added to the con-
fusion by urging the Speaker to have
warrant issued for Williams.
In the course of the excitement bill was
passed providing for a Board of Commits
sioners for Dayton, authorizing $6, ,0OO, 600
water works bonds for Cincinnati, disfran-
chising the infrmary inmates of Trumbull
county and smaller measures. The bill for
the reorganization of the city government of
Hamilton is next in order. 1t has developed
that Campbell. before he would agree to the
passage of the bill, demanded that the
Mayor, who is to have the appointing power,
should agree to name the men whom Cover
nor Campbell desired for the places.

SAN FRANCISCO, February B.-Jimmy
Griffin, the st. Paul lightweight, was de-
feated by Billy Mahan, of this city, in q
rounds, at the Occidental Athletic Club last
night The fight was fierce throughout
Griffin was badly punished. His lips and nose
were cut and swollen. and his body covered
with blood. He fought game battle, how
ever; and although Mahan forced the fighting
nearly all the time. Griffin made a savage at
tack in almost every round and made 1t un-
comfortable for the San Francisco man.
Griffin was knocked down half dozen times in
the last three rounds but struggled gamely to
his feet until a terrific blow in the jaw finally
sent him to the floor. His head struck the
boards heavily, and he was picked up in
