Gould and Wanamaker in Conference

WASHINGTON, April 4.-Jay Gould and
his son George had a long conference with
Postmaster General Wanamaker at the
postoffice department to-day. The ques-
ton of the Pacific Mail steamship line, of
which George Gould is president, in con-
nectlon with the new postal subsidy act
was discussed Gould stated he was will
ing to guarantee whatever moneys might
be granted the steamship company under
that act would be expended in creating
new lines. The question of rates on gov
eminent telegraph business from July,
1881, was also discussed, as was the ques-
ton Of increased mail facilities on the
Union Pacific.
Telegraph tolls, however, were the prin-
clpal theme of talk. Next June will be two
years since Wanamaker fixed the schedule
of rates which the government should pay
the Western Union for telegraph service.
The Western Union refused to accept these
rates, but continued to perform the SER
vices. The consequence is the government
has paid nothing for its use of the tele-
graph since that time, and the amount now
due the company has reached large proper
tons Gould talked the matter over with
Wanamaker, but no definite conclusion was
reached. Gould and his son subsequently,
called on the President, Secretary Foster
and Secretary Tracy. and spent short
time in the society of each. 1t is learned
these visits were merely social in their
character andhave no political or financial

Five Thousand Dollars.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch I
New YORK, April 4.-On the top James
street tenement house on a heap of rags
was found to-day an old woman starving to
death while hidden about her was nearly
s., 900. At noon the janitor told Sergeant
Magyar of the police that Mrs Catharine
Roche, feeble woman seventy years old
who occupied the top floor of the building,
had not been seen for three days. Officers
Distler and Walker entered the place
through the window. On the floor lying a
pile OF old rags they found Mrs. Roche
nearly starved to death. She said
she had eaten nothing for sew
eral days and she was too weak to
rise from the floor. AS she was raised by
the officers gold coin dropped from her
ragged clothes. The officers sent her to
the hospital and then searched the room
They found bank book of the Emigrant
Savings bank to Catharine Roches credit
with a balance of $3.50; a deposit book of

rolled on the floor from bundle of rags:
then British gold amounting to 1j9 sover-
elgns, or $40 of American money, was dis
covered. The money and bank accounts
were found to amount to more than $1,000.
The neighborhood is filed with Italians and
they knew but little of the woman, except
that she was always supposed to have
money, although she denied it and be-
walled her poverty. Fred Bruseke, who
keeps a grocery, said: 1.-The old woman has
been coming in here for the past four years.
She bought penny's worth of milk and
two-cent loaf of bread each day, and occa-

A QUIET FUNERAL
The Victims of the Norwood Riot,
Buried.
THE CROWDS WERE ORDERLY
The Priests Advised the Men to Return to Their
Homes and Shun the Saloons-This
Was Done.

SCoTTDALE, Pa, April A. The special
funeral train bearing the bodies Of the
seven victims of the Norwood shooting,
arrived here at 20 p. IN. The public
square was not spacious enough to hold
the great crowds of people. The process
ion moved at o'clock, headed by two
bands. There were fully 5000 people at
the depot, but scarcely half this number
went to the cemetery, and large majority
OF those who did follow the remains were
Poles, Slavs and Hungarians. American
flags were conspicuous, and number of
delegations carried banners. The
Grape. Fathers Mambing and
Schmeigle conducted the funeral services
according TO the rites of the Catholic
church, and Father Schmeigle delivered an
address in the Polish language, counseling
his countrymen to return peacably to their
homes and commit no breech of the law
and abstain from intoxicants and shun
saloons. Rev. Mambing made brief ad-
dress IN English to the same effect There
was not the least disturbance, and every
thing passed off in a manner creditable to
the Workmen. After the funeral, great
mass meeting was held at Ever
son. The speeches were conservative in
tone, the men were encouraged to remain
steadfast The responsibility of the More
wood shooting, Vice-President Penna said,
was on the shoulders Of the guards and coke
companies The town is quiet tonight and
the large crowds have gone to their homes.
Secretary Watchorn, of the union, Is in
dlgnant over the reported interview with
ID. Z. f'rick, in which the latter placed the
responsibility for present troubles on
"demagogic leaders,. Watchorn says he
will have attidavits by Monday to
show that Frick paid for the passage of
Workmen from Europe to America. He
further asserts many of men were forced
to go into mines against their will, by
armed men.
A sensation was caused here TO-DAY
when four men, masked and armed,
entered the electric light plant and asked
for the Office of II. G. Prick & Co. When
the clerk replied in negative, the men
stated they intended to burn Friclz's office.
They left palace and have not since been
seen.

New YORK, April 4.-The Mail and Err
press has q cable from Rome on the present
situation. A mutual friend of the cor
respondent and Premier di Rudini obtained
statement from Di Rudini. The premier
said he narbored none but the most
friendly sentiments toward the United
States, These had not really been dis
turbed by the action which he felt called
upon TO take as the representative of the
Italian people. Upon being officially made
acquainted with the New Orleans affair
and the position which Blaine was obliged
to take in the matter, he had no intention
of pushing any demands and was content
with having taken one positive step as a
protest against what he was led to believe
at the time was neglect on the part of the
United States to protect the lives of Ital
ian citizens in America. Under the pro
visions of the treaty he expressed himself
as aware that to do anything more at this
1uncture would be grave error on his
part, as he has perfect confidence in the
sincerity and justice of the United States
Finally he said: AZ shall now simply wait
further details of the New Orleans affair:
the characters of the slain men: of the
Louisiana authorities, and of the intentions
of the United States government. But
whatever these may be, l am quite sure
that a settlement thoroughly satisfactory
to both parties will be found and that the
friendship which binds the two nations
will remain unalterable and secure;

The Commission Question Again.

CHICAGO, April Another conference
on the question Of commission paying was
held by the various roads to-day, but little
was DONE 1t is reported this evening that
Notwithstanding the denials of interested
lines, they have agreed to pay up back com
missions and resume payments IN trunk line
territory, on the ground that the board of
rulings has failed to carry out it's policy.
Besides, it is reported on good authorize.
that the Union Pacific, which ordered the
payment of commissions to cease February
l, has cortermanded that order As the
matter now stands, it looks as if the west
ern roads had shifted the responsibility of
the failure Of the scheme upon the eastern
lines. owing to the failure of the board OF
rulings to enforce the proposed boycott.
Complaint having been made by some roads
that too much of the proceedings of the
association meetings get into the public
prints. Chairman Midgley, of the Western
Freight association, has sent out ssstrictly
private communication to members of tina
association discussing the matter, and saw
ing it is contrary TO the spirit OF all
agreements to furnish copies Of proceedings
to non members, or to show them to the
public.

The Strikers Seem to Have Money.

MOUNT PLEASANT, April All is quiet
here to-day. The streets are deserted,
most of the Huns having quietly departed
for Scottdale during the night.
The coke company is not making any eff
fort to get men to fill the places OF the
strikers. A peculiar feature of the situa-
ton is that although the men have been out
OF work over month, they still seem
to have considerable money, and from
outward appearance not suffering for any
thing. In the Mount Pleasant bank there
is large list of depositors whose savings
range from $50 to 50, 900. Of this money
very little has been withdrawn. How these
people live without drawing money is
difficult for Americans to understand. To
those who have no money the labor orpani-
cations furnish small sums The strike is
likely to continue indefinitely.

Wltn per cent discount if bills for smear
are paid within one week from the date of

serves not to purchase any foreign refined

was a lie.
John Z. Searles, treasurer of the old
trust, expressed the opinion that if the
manufacture of sugar in this country was
unoer one management, it could be sup
pned 10 the public at cheaper rate and
with more profit to the reiiner than
through single operations.
A long discussion took place as to the
production of the corporation books in the
