PHILADELPHIA, October 27.-Mr.
Robert f. PattisOn, Democratic candi-
date for Governor of Pennsylvania,
swore out warrants of arrest this morn
ing in proceedings for criminal libel
against the publisher and editor of the
Philadelphia Inquirer, the proprietor OF
the North american, of this city. and
the publisher and editor Of the Harris
burg CdU. A hearing in the case will
be given this afternoon. IN the three
papers mentioned, there was published
on Saturday morning an article which
charged that Gov. PattisOn had been
bribed by the VanderbiltS 10 sign what
were known as the South Penn bills OF
1883, and that the Governor sought out
and retained eX-J udge jeremiah :. Black
to write a veto message, and having re-
ceived it with the understanding that il
was to be sent to the Legislature he
changed his mind by the next morning
and without notice to Jud'e Black APP
proved the bills, and that Judge Black
denounced Governor Pattison for this
alleged deception and severed his rela-
tions with him. The article also charged
that $50, 900 in stock had been paid to
Governor Pattison and Attorney Gener-
al Lewis = Cassidy for the signing of a
bill chartering n Pittsburg natural gas
corporation.
At the hearing this afternoon before
the Magistrate O'Brien in the criminal
libel case of Ex-Governor Pattison
against James Elverson, President Of
the Inquirer Company, Charles Heustis,
editor of the Inquirer, Clayton Nc
Michael, editor and proprietor OF the

of the defendants present. Mr.. Elver-
son and Mr.. McMichacl are out OF the
city. and in the case Of the two Harris
burg editors the constable has not yet
had time to serve the warrants. At the
conclusion of the testimony offered
against Mr. HeustiS, the magistrate held
him in 81 800 bail for court. Counsel
for Mr.. Heustis and Mr.. Elverson con-
sented that the evidence offered against
the former should also be considered as
having been offered against Elverson
despite his absence, and consequently
bail to the amount OF Sl,5O0 was fur
nished for his appearance at court.
Ex-Governor PattiSon, eX-State Sen
ator Judge j. G.. Gordon and
Hon. William :. Stanger, eX-Secre-
tary of State, swore that every allcga-
tion published in the article complained

can. and Mr. Jordan and Mr.. McClou-
rim. of the Harrisburg Cdu. will take

TO BE CLEARED UP.
The Woman Whose House She VISITED in London
Under Arrest-Soms Sensational Disclosures
Mats-Balhur's Trip Through the Suffering
Districts Of Irsland-Porsign News.

LONDON, October 27.-It IS very prob
able that the police will succeed in clear
ing away the mystery surrounding the
murder Of Mrs. Hogg, the wife Of the
London porter. whose body was found
Friday night in the vicinity Of south
Hampstead. Mrs. Nellie Pierccy, the
friend Of the murdered woman. whom
Mrs Hogg visited on Friday, and whose
house was subsequently searched by the
police, revealed traces OF desperate
struggle. and who was consequently
placed under arrest, was arraigned in
police court to-day on preliminary
hearing. Hogg, the husband Of the
murdered woman, was called upon 10
testify, and his evidence disclosed the
fact that liason had existed for some
time between himself and the prisoner.
He had a latch key to her house and
frequently visited her. He thought his
wife did not know OF ms relations with
Mrs. Piercey. Further examination of
the kitchen at the Pierccy residence re-
vcals the fact that fierce struggle had
taken place there, and that attempts
had been made 10 remove the blood
stains on the floor and around the room

AFTER HIS BIT.
A Fortune Claimant Asked To Show His
Proofs for His Claims.


ST. LOUIS. October 27.-John w.
Powers, a son of Mrs. John Powers, the
Maryland claimant TO part OF the
Mulanphy estate, called on Archbishop
Kendrick and presented his claim.
The Archbishop said in substance that
when Mr.. Powers could show his proofs
or clew to identity he would listen to
him. This would indicate that the ven
cradle priest placed enough confidence
in the published story TO accord the
young man a hearing upon the eStab-
lishment Of quasi case even, and is
regarded as an important concession.
Young Powers said his family history
could be traced back very clearly 10
years, and all they claimed would be
proved in time. The suit will prove to
be strange, interesting and almost
weird bit of litigation. 1T at once in
vades the Sanctum OF the Roman Cath
Ollie Church and attacks the character
OF a distinguished ST. Louis pioneer.
whose deeds of charity and benevolence
have become household traditions. The
suit will be brought to recover also
$, 900, 600, which amount Mrs. Powers
claims was secured from her great
grandfather, Walsh by name, who lived
in ireland about ninety years ago, by
John Mullanphy.
According To Mrs. Powers story,
John Mullanphy, just before his DEATH
which occurred in 1888, left large sum
OF money in charge of Bishop Rosetti,
who was then in charge OF this diocese.
The heirs of John Walsh were to re-
ceive this fund. Mrs. John Powers
claims to be the ouly heir Of the afore-
said Walsh and 20 be entitled TO this
vast sum Of money. The question that
arises now is, whom will Mrs. Powers
sue for the $1,000. GOO? She claims it
was placed in the hands OF Bishop
ROSetti. He is now dead.

Ex-pREsIDENT CLEVELAND
Makes an Argument Before the United
States Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON. October 21.-EX-Presi-
dent Cleveland to-day made his argu-
ment before the Supreme Court as aSSo-
ciate counsel for James Wallace Peake,
i'm what IS known aS the New Orleans
drainage case. Some time before the
opening of the court at noon the room
was filled with members OF the bar and
spectators belonging to the general
public. Mr.. Cleveland arrived at
the Capitol promptly at noon.
Finding the main entrance TO the court
room obstructed by the crowd. he and
MeSSrs. De Gray and SemmcS, the coun-
sci for whom he is associated, were con-
Quoted through the MarShafS office
into the court room. BY a coincidence
there were present three persons who
had been members OF the eX-Presidcnt
cabinet. Mr.. Bayard was there and
gave hearty greeting to his former
chief: Mr.. Garland had come with Il mo-
ton to file, and seized the opportunity
to shake hands with Mr.. Cleveland,
while Justice Lamar bowed and saluted
from the bench TO which he had been
appointed by lawyer, who now sat be-
fore him to plead a case.
Mr.. De Gray made the opening argu-
mcnt in the case. and it was quarter
to three before Mr. Cleveland rose to
speak. After preliminary statement
to the Court that what had already been
said enabled him to omit reference To
the first twcnty-Seven pages, Mr..
Cleveland began to read from his print
ed brief. His voice sounded low but
clear at first. and aS he progressed he
gradually showed more and more ami
nation, modulating his voice Skilliully
and emphasizing his points by fre-
quent mods of his head. His
language was simple and business
like. and although the case was very
technical, he succeeded in holding the
interested attention Of every member oil
the Court. He was not interrupted by
remark or question. until the hour OF
four o'clock was reached, when the
Chief Justice called attention TO the
fact that it was customary for the court
to adjourn at that hour. Upon Mr..
Cleveland's statement that he had near
ly concluded. he was permitted to con-
tinue, and in aquarter of an hour reach
ed the end. The Court then adjourned.

THE FRANKFORT TREATY.

Germany to any other power
Germany is not prepared for this. as
her manufacturers, crippled by the loss
of American trade, would speedily be
crushed by the competition Of the more
Skilful French. These negotiations
must therefore necessarily fail.
Germany has also another difficulty N

land. The English are maintaining a
virtual embargo against cattle from
Schleswig-Holstein. although the pro-
vince Is VIGOROUSLY free from disease.
Cattle from the Danish Islands and from
Jutand are freely imported into Eng
land, while the chief export Of the Prus-
sian province is rlgidly excluded. The
motive for this Is hard 10 understand,
unless il is result of the old Hanover

SUGAR TRUST RUMORS.
Another Story Circulated and Emphatic
ally Denied.

NEW YORK, October 27.-The Tribune
this morning printed a story to the ef-
feet that the last plan proposed for the
reorganization OF the Sugar Trust had
been rejected by the Attorney General,
This story was circulated last week,
with the addition that the Attorney
General would consequently move for
the reappointment OF receivers for the
different companies in this State which
are members of the trust and, taken in
conjunction with the Cameron injunc-
tion proceedings instituted before Judge
Platt in Brooklyn, caused the price OF
certificates to fall off several points, In
face of the crusade of the bear party led
by Cammack.
The Tribune this morning gave what
it describes as the facts in the case, OBJ
tained from an entirely Trustworthy bat
unnamed source. According to the
story the last plan submitted to the At
torney-General and rejected by him was
that the new corporation should organ
ize under the laws of the State of New
Jersey and that it should purchase the
New York companies. The Attorney
General, it was stated, gave notice last
week to the attorney of the trust, John
f. Parsons, that the plan was illegal
and could not be carried out.
Mr.. Magoun, of Kidder, Peabody &
Co., who is member of the Sugar
Trust Committee on Reorganization
and by whom any plan must be ap
proved as the representative of outside
certificate holders, said to-day, whcr
asked if there was any truth in the
story: There is no truth in it so far a:
we know, and we do not believe it.
Z. =. Olcott, President OF the Centra
Trust Company, in which depoSitary
the certificates are to be deposited fol
tbs purpose of reorganization, and who
is also required to approve of any plan
before it can take effect, said: No,
do not believe the story is true, nor any
OF the stories to that effect which have
been published and for this reason: As
| am required TO approve any plan that
may be proposed or adopted before il
can go into effect, think it is very like
~ that before submitting any plan to
the Attorney General the committee
would first be courteous enough to sub
init it to me for examination. No such
plan has been submitted to me yet"

THE VENDETTA.
An Italian Killed by His Brother Country
man In Brooke County, Yesterday.

Special Telegram to the Register.
STEUBENvILLE, o., October 2T.-A
sensational murder, the result of the
vendetta started in Italy about two years
ago, took place this evening over the
river in Brooke county. West Virginia.
FrancheSi Carosi and Franchesi Gallo,
two Italians, were in PittSburg to-
gether, and Carosi represented to Gallo
that he could get him work in Steuben-
vile. They came down to Wheeling
Junction this afternoon, where they got
of. CaroSi started to pilot Gallo across
the country to this city, but
when just opposite the city pulled out
a revolver and told Gallo he was going
to kill him on account of trouble they
had had two years ago in Italy, at the
same time shooting two balls into him.
CaroSi then ran down TO Wheeling
junction and took Il train for Pittsburg.
Gallo ran two hundred yards to the
house of a man named Carnahan and
fell on the porch. He was afterward
brought to this city and taken TO an
Italian resort on Sixth street where he
died. Italians in this city are greatly
excited over the murder and telegraph
ed to PittSburg to have Carosi arrested.
They say the killing is the outcome OF
the vendetta existing in Italy between
the families of CaroSi and Gallo.

United States Senator John Sherman,
of Ohio, made a great tariff speech ON
the Republican side Of the question IN
Pittsburg. Pa, Saturday. The follow
ing extract is made therefrom. and the
reader can see at glance how the mil
lionaires, Of which he is.one, are at
tempting to make black appear white IN
their attempts TO defend the Mckinley
bill:
If this bill were 10 equalize the difference
between the rate OF wages PAID IN thls
country and those paid in Europe ] would
NOT bc in favor of this duty. Capital needs
no protection In this country, and when we
we're framing this tariff bill there were no
demands made in behalf Of capital We
are growing richer and richer all the time,
and we are able to carry any industry
without any protection tO capital. but we
must protect our labor, and not bring their
wages down 10 the standard Of European
wages.
The first Justification Of the truth
and Of history. is, that Capital needs no
nrotectlon. and never demanded any.
The second. that We are growing
richer and richer all the time. and We
are able 10 carry any industry without
protection" !, historical lie.
Who ever heard Of labor being con
sulted by the tariff committees at Wash
inrton. AS 10 what kind OF duty they
wanted on this or that kind Of manu-
facturcs? Who ever heard Of. or knew
manufacturers 10 send their workmen
TO Washington 10 tell the Tariff Com
mittec what kind Of protection employ
ors ncedodp ~ one. Such n thing
never happened in this country. Man
ufacturers are sent for and 90 OF their
own accord and labor win the commit,
tees and Congress. each in Dehali oi
their own peculiar interests whenever
the tariff Is to be- changed.
The other remarkable statement j.
that the tariff is enacted especially ior
the laboring men of the country. for
his protection exclusively, and not the
capitalists. What has laboring man
got to protect? lie has no capital IN
vested in manufactures. All the cap
ital he has Is his brain and muscle.
There would never be- any tariff In
this country If IL was not for two rea-
sons. Tho first j.. 1t raises revenue;
and the second is, it protects Invested
capital. Take these two reasons away
and there would be no tariff. 4 tariff
for the laboring man only. Who ever
heard of ANYTHING ike this in any coun
try?
These false statements are made tC
mislead the working classes. Why
don't laborcrs become millionaires in
stead Of the capitalists?
