PARIS, September 19.-The Duchesse
Dues is now at her residence, the beauti-
full chateau DeBourllls. where she received
a reporter to-day and showed no hesitancy
in discussing the Boulanger disclosures.
The Duchesse received the reporter In her
drawing room, and alter short preliminary
exchange of compliments the Duchesse was
asked what she had to say on the reporttha
Boulanger, according to arecently-published
statement, said in conversation partly in
tended for publication, that he knew she
was In love with him, and for that reason it
was perfectly natural she should have found
him with money.
81 do no. believe the General said any
such thing" the Duchesse responded. ''It
was published in his paper, 1 realize, but
l am very sure he never said it, and never
said anything to excuse such a statement.
1t was vile thing, too; too vile for him to
utter. 1 always believed General Boulanger
to be gentleman, and 1 have the same un-
shaken belief still. We are firm friends and
have been for long time, and hope shall
continue to be so in the future. Long before
gave the General any money 1 was inter-
ested in his ideas and liked him. 1t was
partly on that account l offered him financial
aid, and it was also because he promised he
would protect the church. This latter reason
was particularly strong incentive with me,
and the S3OOO.0OO 1 have expended In that
way are nothing-nothing at all, 1 assure
you. I have plenty left and 1 should be
just as willing to give twice that amount if
l could help the church in so doing. In fact
1 spend all my money in church charities.
l shall always continue to do So"
Being asked by the reporter whether the
rumor that her son intended fighting the
General were true or had any foundation in
fact the Duchesse replied: My son wants
to fight the General; he is continually talk
ing about it and is terribly angry. He said
he intended sending his seconds to Jersey
to call on the General. but it is wrong and
am doing all possible to persuade him to
abandon the idea, as the General has GER
tainly not insulted me in any way by word
or thought"

Chauncey NJ. Dcpew lie Is the Story of a
Self Made Man.
NEW YORK, September 2O.-A massive
statue in bronze of Horace Greeley, by j.
@. A. Ward, was unveiled this morning by
Miss Gabriel Greeley, the daughter of the
great editor, before an assemblage of several
thousand people. The statue stands under
the arch of the Park row entrance to the
Tribune and was erected by an association
of his successors of the office. The cere-
mony opened with prayer by Bishop Potter,
who was in full Episcopal robes. Colonel
John HAY presided and introduced DR..
Chauncey M. Depew. Mr.. Depew said In
the course o! his remarks:
"Horace Greeley is our best type of self
made men, and of the career possible under
American conditions. He was tar above
the popular ideal, which rises only to the
appreciation of the acquisition of money.
He was very poor in his youth, and never
rich, but his poverty was of the kind pc
culiar to our people. 1t neither degrades
nor discourages. 1t accustoms to self
sacrifice; it educates fertility OF resource; it
is the spur oil ambition; it sternly enforces
the survival of the fttest; it has been the
parent of the majority of the Presidents of
the United States and of all our leaders of
parties and ideas. At 20, with shambling
gait, poor and badly-ttting clothes, a most
unpromising appearance and address, ut
terly ignorant of the world, without friends
or acquaintances and with only $40 in his
pocket, he was in New YORK seeking his
fortune and knocking vainly at the door of
every printing Office in the city for employ
ment. Forty years afterward the land was
full OF his fame and achievements. This
statue will stand for centuries as a fitting
memorial and loving tribute from his friends,
but his monument is the prosperity OF the
Republic from the great measures which he
originated, the example of workers pub
lic-spirited life, the broken shackles of the
slave, and the great journal which he
founded"

A SERIES OF ACCIDENTS.
TWO POLES KILLED BY A PANHANDLE
TRAIN,


Ladies' Severely Injured by Runaway Horses
in Allegheny-A Labor Boss Mishap-A
Puddler's Strange Ipjury-Other Acci-
dents of Day.
Last night the Eastern express on the
Panhandle struck and killed Andrew
Blazerwiskie and Michael Liski, two Poles,
near Point Bridge station. The men were
walking in the direction Of Birmingham,
and were evidently intoxicated. They
failed to observe the approaching train,
which came laundering along at high
rale of speed. Blazerwiskie was struck
with such force as to throw him a distance
of about 20 feet into coal drop alongside
the track. He died almost instantly.
Lski had mis- lett leg cut off and had his
head crushed severely. His features were
so badly distorted that his friends at first
failed to recognize him. After lying in
agony for about ten minutes he
gave vent to a piercing shrek and
expired. Both men lived in the
district known as Limerick, in the rear
OF No. q Carson street, with a number of
other men, who work at the mills nearby.
Both men have only been in the country
some few weeks and leave behind them in
their native country large families. In
Blazerwiskie's coat pocket was found an
envelope containing SIG, bearing the name
of Andrew Hieki, and a letter addressed to
himself at Cleveland. --..--
William Wallace and j. W. Richards
were out driving on Montgomery avenue
last night, when their horses ran of. At
Federal street and Montgomery avenue they
ran over Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Durkin.
Both ladies tainted and were carried into
Heck's drugstore, where DR.. Hazard at
tended them. Mrs. Martins thigh was
broken and Mrs. Durkin had her arm
fractured. The doctor was unable to tell
whether they were injured internally. They
were removed to their homes at the head of
Federal street. A little Iurther down the
horses ran into an electric car and were
stopped.
James Connolly, a puddler living at
New Castle, is at the West Penn Hospital
with broken ankle. He says he was in
Jured in fight, but refused to say when
and where it occurred.

ESPECIAL TELEeRAM TO TIE DIspArcH.i 1


Troy, N. Y, September 2O-The full
concessions of three of the five men who ara
implicated in the recent attempts at whole
sale murder by train wrecking on the New
York Central road were obtained to-day for
publication. These show that the series Of
crimes were committed with the full in
tention to sacrifice unnumbered and innocent
lives in mere wantonness and cruelty.
The plotting OF the conspirators, the cold
blooded Indifference of the leaders, their
propositions of direct murder which were
defeated by the protests of their more timid
accomplices, their subsequent conferences
with the official leaders of the knights of
Labor, the financial aid which the labor or
ganizations furnished to enable the wretches
to escape, are told with detail, and make the
story OF what is IN some respects the most
diaboiical conspiracy ever exposed in this
country.
SAVED BY PROVIDENCE.
Combinations of chance that seem almost
providenrlal prevented loss OF life in three
successive attempts to kill hundreds of in
nocent people, and although a great deal Of
property was wrecked and a number of vic
TINS were badly hurt, the five men who at
least were the executors of the plot, are not
murderers in fact as they are in neart.
The most startling revelation of all is
found in the evidence, direct and positive,
duplicating Lee, tine official leader of the
knights of Labor in the New York Central
strike, as at least an accomplice after the
fact. The conspirators say that Edward j.
Lee personally furnished them with money
frhI Inh To
dlately after they wrecked the Montreal ex-
press.
Tney detail Lees conversation with them
when the money was paid, and they describe
the Master Workman's long conferences
with the Two men, who, they say, are the
leaders in the execution of the plot. The
information regarding the identity of the
conspirators who wrecked the Montreal ex-
press came to the officers of the railroad the
very next day after the crime was commit
ted from the upper councils of the Knights
themselves.
SPIES IN THE RANKS.
When the Knights first declared war
against the New York Central Railroad
Company, as a matter OF protection, found il
necessary to employ agents among the fore
most agents of the labor organization.
These men informed the officers Of the road
vino the men were who were wrecking the
trains. These secret agents are still in the
employ of the road, and are still in high
standing among the Knights. The men
arrested were Reed, who had been a brake
man on the Hudson River division,
Kiernan, who had been a brakeman
and 'yardman at West Albany; Cor
dial, who had been a conductor on the
Hudson River division; Thomas L. Cain,
who had been s.yardman at Albany and
Arthur Buett, who had been an assistant to
Cain in the Albany yard.
ALI of the men were prominent strikers
and Kni ehts of Labor. Cain, Buett and
Reed made iull confessions. y

FOR ALLEGED FRAUD.
Mr.. J. A. KEENAN,, OF ALTOONA, IS HELD
FOR COURT.

The Altoona Endowment Associn tion Said
to be Scheme to Defraud the Public
A Hearing Before Commissioner Nc.
CandIess.
j. A. keenan, was given hearing before
Commissioner McCandless in the United
States Court yesterday afternoon, on a
charge of using the mails for the purpose of
carrying out a scheme to deiraud the public.
Mr.. keenan, is Manager and Secretary Of
the Mutual Endowment Society," of Altoona,
an organization to benefit its members upon
marriage and also to pay benefits at the end
OF five years under any circumstances.
Inspector II. R. McCalmot testified that
he had received information last April that
members of the association were complain
ing that they failed to receive their benefits.
He said that the Altoona Globe, purporting
to be the official organ OF the association,
was mailed from Mr.. Keenan's Office, and
only circulated in the West and South. The
Inspector said he was notified that the
Fidelity Banking Company was not the
treasurer of the association, as advertised,
and had never acted as such, and that the
authority rom them.
j. II. Hicks, of Altoona, who was for a
time Treasurer of the association, testified
that in May, 1890, he resigned that position,
but his resignation. was not accepted i'm
mediately, and Mr.. Keenan, asked him to
wait until successor could be secured.
Until June Mr.. keenan, sent the money reg
ularly to Mr.. Hicks. At the closing of the
accounts in June witness said Mr.. Keenan,
told him the Fidelity Banking Company
would act as treasurer. After this, witness
said, money was still sent to him until Sep
tember. He said the association lived up
to the requirements of its charter as far as
he knew.
I. B. Potter. postmaster at Altoona, testi-
fed that the Globe was mailed at his office in
large numbers or the past three months, and
that he had seen the bundles prepared in
MIR. Keenan's Office. He further said that
Mr.. Keenan, received sums through the post
Office ranging from $3.50 to 5000 week.
Cashier Findley, OF the Fidelity Banking
Company, in his testimony, denied that his
company ever acted as treasurer, and when
he found that the company's name was used
as such. meeting was held, and Mr..
Keenan, was ordered to contradict the state
ment in the daily press. AS Mr.. keenan,
failed to do this, the witness said, the COM
pany made the contradiction. He further
said that considerable money was sent to
the bank, but it was credited to Mr..
Keenan's individual account
1t was on the above testimony that the de.
fendant was held Tor court

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE prsPATcHI
ERIE, September 20.-The long drawn
out investigation of the Erie police force
has had number of sensational develop
ments, in which allegations of protection to
disreputable houses and to wheelmen at the
driving parks, were substantiated by sworn
statements, and of executive interference in
behalf of fugitives from justice, where po-
litical pulls could be secured at elections,
was likewise proven. Mayor Clarke has
stood his ground through all developments,
but now the Police Committee, who have
confined the Investigations to the police
force, have turned TO the Mayor.
1t transpires this evening that the COM
mittee has cited Mayor C. S. Clarke to ap-
pear, and either admit by personal state
ments that he had bartered away by article
OF agreement with competitor for the nomi-
nation, certain patronage OF the office, prior
TO his election thereto, or witnesses would
be subp9naed to substantiate an allegation
to that effect. This announcement has
created no little excitement, and it is ac-
companied by threats of impeachment
Mayor Clarke was elected to his Office by
the largest majority ever given Mayor of
Eric, but since his election party factions
have been creating dissensions

GREAT PLANO PLAYERS.
And What They Say About a Wonderful
Musical Instrument.

':At the National Association meeting of
musicians held in Philadelphia, the Miller
Grand was used by Miss Neatly Stevens
with orchestra, and Mr.. E. r. Kroeger, the
composer and pianist. The latter made
very fine success with his quartet in D
minor for piano and strings. In the
orchestral concert, with orchestra and
chorus, Miss Stevens was awarded great
praise for her wonderful performance, and
received an ovation at the conclusion of the
Liszt Hungarian Fantaise. 1t was the gen.
eral verdict of Miss Stevens and an army of
friends that the Miller Grand was not only
the best piano at the convention, but sur
passed any grand she had ever used at any
of her previous concerts.-Philadelph
