NEWSY NOTES FROM NEARBY TOWNS

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
BEDFORD, Dec. 4.-For the past ten years
Bedford has enjoyed the luxury of a Grain
Exchange. One after another they laid
down on the bulls and bears About IL
months ago j. NJ Campbell, the well-known
broker of Second avenue, .Pittsburg, opened
branch Office here, and was doing a good
business for town of this size.
No doubt the bulls and bears would still
be listening to the ticker had not some of
the big bull patrons of Mr.. Campbell tackled
November corn on the short side. They,
however, attacked the tiger and fought him
until the last quotation was quoted, when
they discovered they were hurt badly.
They henceforth squealed, and on
"Wednesday bill in equity was filed and an
injunction granted restraining j. NJ. Camp
bell from removing his funds from a bank
where he had them deposited. The losses
run all the way from $50 by q small dealer
to $4,000 by William Hartley, the most
prominent dealer ON Change. The parties
who brought the injunction have made over
lures to Mr.. Campbell for a compromise,
all of which were refused He intends
making fight for what he thinks is justly
his
There has been nothing that has occurred
here for years that has caused such sensa-
tion. Even the school children inquire:
"What is the price of November corn?"
Mr. Campbell will most likely continue his
Bedford branch.

WOMEN c0NvICTs DIG A TUNNEL.

Their Work Discovered just In Time to
Prevent Their Escape from Jail.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 4-The discovery
was made at the county jail to-day that two
female prisoners-Jennie Hastings, who
has been awaiting trial for grand larceny,
and Hazel Corbett, who is serving four
months for petty larceny, have been engaged
in an attemptto break Jail. Deputy Sheriff
McCarthy's attention was drawn to strange
noise in the prison early this morning, and
when two suspicious characters were seen
prowling about the Jail later in the morning
a search of the cells was ordered, with the
result that a hole about Is inches square
was found in the wall of the cell occupied
by the prisoners named. Only the outer
layer of cement remained, and this could
easily have been pushed out by hand,
leaving nothing between the prisoners and
freedom save wall in the adjacent alley of
25 feet.
In the cell was found a sharpened spoon
and small iron bar that had been used in
the Jail kitchen as a poker The women
acknowledged they had worked a hole
through the wall with these implements,
and said it took six hours Some of the
bricks had been placed under the bed, while
most of the debris had been rolled up in an
old skirt and covered with clothing.

Postal Authorities Overhauling the Affairs
of an Insurance Company.
GREENvILLE, Dec. 4. -[Special. j. The
Sandy Lake, Life Insurance Company, of
which S. B. Griffith, of Mercer, was recent
ly appointed receiver, is undergoing a
searching investigation The United States
Postal Department has sent out special
inspector in order to ascertain if the COM
pany has been using the mails for fraudulent
purposes. This inspector has made strict
investigation at Sandy Lake, Mercer, Sharon
and Greenville, and startling exposures are
looked for. Over 300 letters, containing
over 81 ZOO, which have accrued at the
Sandy Lake postoffice since receiver was
appointed, have been detained there by
order of the Postmaster General. Most of
these letters contain remittances from policy
holders.
Just before receiver was appointed the
company transferred their business, notes
and accounts to Washington assessment
company. Insurance Commissioner Luper
refused to sanction the transfer, claiming
it was illegal. The receiver is now trying
to get back the books and notes, the latter
ington firm seems disposed to hold them,
and is already making assessments on the
members. The secretary of the company
is somewhere on the Pacific coast, and
nothing dennite can be learned about the
company without the books, which they re-
fuse to give up. Most of the directors of
the company are substantial farmers, and
there will likely be an attempt to hold
them individually responsible. There are
thousands of policy holders in the State,
especially in this section, and many of them
are old people who have paid, in hundreds
of dollars

81 do not speak of those people as cranks.
They have more of the devil in them than
anything else. The devil predominates.
They make the most exorbitant demands.
They have no claims of any nature what

those whose misfortunes entitle them to
consideration from their more fortunate
brethren, are maddest in their requests.

charitable to just such people. cannot say

fits Work Is Mapped Out by the Prelates
Assembled at st. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 4.-The committee hav-
ing in charge the proposed work of the
Catholic Congress of 1898 have held import
ant meetings throughout the week. Their
work has been submitted to the Cardinal and
Archbishops, who have approved the sug-
gestlons of the committee. The report pro-
vi6es that the congress shall consist of ten
general delegates from every diocese and
additional delegates in the proportion of
five to every $4,000 of the Catholic
population, these delegates to be
appointed by the Bishop of
the diocese. Each Catholic university col
lege and seminary is entitled to delegates,
and the committee have the right to invite
to the congress distinguished laymen of
any country, creed or profession. 1t was
determined that the main feature of the
congress should be the social and economic
questions embraced in the recent encyclicaI
OF Pope Leo XIII.
The questions to be considered are, first
the rights of labor and duties of capital:
second, pauperism and the remedy;
third, public and private charity
how to make these more effective
and beneficial; fourth, beneficial work
ingmen's societies. and societies
for young men; fifth, life insurance and pen
sion funds for workingmen; sixth, trade
and strikes; sixth, coloniza-
ton; seventh, the evils of drink and the
Importance of minimizing the plague.

HOW LORD LYTTON DIED.
Probabilities as to Blowitz's Polishing Of
the Death-Bed Scene.

Probabilities as to Blowitz's Polishing Of
the Death-Bed Scene.
The account which de Blowitz gives in the
London Times of Lord .Lytton's death may
be accepted as accurate in the main. He
was certainly very intimate with Lord
Lytton. Many an Englishman has left the
fine palace which England has built for her
Ambassadors in Paris to tell with naughty
rage how he had been kept waiting by a pot
bellied little newspaper man, that man be-
ing de Blowitz. There is in every human
mind an Unborn desire to polish off death
bed scenes. We owe to that many fine last
sayings that never were said, and it is quite
likely that NJ. de Blowitz let his imagina-
tion work little when he described Lytton
not only writing poetry at the last
moment but also reading poem by Tenny-
son, his hereditary enemy. Whether
those little touches were due to NJ.
Blowitz's memory or imagination is unim-
portant. His statement that the dead poet
died in bed and while using morphia may
be accepted as true.
This de Blowitz, although not very great
newspaper man from the American point of
view, is of the sort to be encouraged. In
his own person he has made the newspaper
man very much looked up to. Being late
at Drury Lane Theater one night his box
was given to Prince Alexander of Batten-
berg and some other men with names.
When de Blowitz came putting in late terror
struck into the heart of Manager Augustus
Harris, since knighted, and with many bows
and sighs he put the princes out and put de
Blowitz in.
DE Blowitz's real name, by the way is
Opper, and we have sort of local interest
In him, as he is an uncle of the ingenious
Mr.. Opper who makes pictures for Puck.

WALKERS EFFECTIVE FLEET.
Five Vessels to Be Shortly at the Commo-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Secretary Tracy
has issued an order detaching the New
ark from the squadron of evolution
and directing Admiral Walker to proceed
at once with the Chicago, Atlanta and Ben
nington to the South Atlantic station. The
order assigning Admiral Benham to the
command of that station is revoked, and he
will probably remain in the United States

placed in Admiral Gherardi's command, as
part of the North Atlantic squadron. Ad-
mIral Walkers command will comprise five
vessels-hs flagship the Chicago, the At
