HUSTLED INTO A FREIGHT CAR.

To quote Mr.. Posts language: Some of
these he delivered to such parties as he,
Briean, himself wanted to come; SOME were
withheld until too late, and some were never
sent at all On July 18th following, fully a
week before the expected meeting, two of
our largest operators and myself went to
Bradford with money, checks and drafts
amply sufficient TO complete the land pur-
chase and carry on the work until stopped
by cold weather in the fall. But to our ut
ter amazement We found the Office deserted:
the car conlpany's drawings for which we
hold Briean's receipts for over Sc 900 surrep-
titOusly hustled into a freight car with
Briean's household effects and hastily
shipped to some unknown point He
Briean, to cover his real designs, having
previously circulated reports that he had
been ordered by our company back to Phila-
delphia, TO Johnsonburg, to Buffalo and God
only knows whore else the conflict in his
own statements proving 'conclusively that
lie lied
Mr.. Post then described the chase after
Briean and the dra awings, and how he was
subsequently run down in Bradford. Then
follows charges of immortality by Post
against Briean.

BRTEAN IS HIS BANE.
Secretary J. W. Post, Of the Steel
Tubular Car Company States
HIS OPINION OF THE ARCHITECT.
He Says the Latter Filched Money to Carry
on His Mode of Life.
THE CONCERN is ALIVE AND WE'LL TO Do

"For several DAYS have patiently listened
to the glaring misrepresentation of inter
ested individuals, and now ask ten minutes
of your time to consider the actual facts
concerning the Steel Tubular Car Com
pany."
This is the introduction to q l2-page
pamphlet which Secretary and Treasurer
John ". Post, of the company, sends to The
DTsPAToH. 1t purports to be Facts and
figures concerning the Steel Tubular Car
Company, q full and complete statement by
the treasurer. On the title page, in writing,
and signed by j. W. Post, is a request as
follows: Having been grossly slandered
for several days, now kindly listen to the
other side. All / ask is that the exact truth
be known"
The DISPATCH of the 22d and 23d of July
contained articles in which Josiah S. Briean,
q Philadelphia architect. who claimed to
act for the company as the experimenting
architect OF their new plant at bradford,
figured prominently. He invited Mr.. d. l..
Gillespie, the well known lumber dealer of
this city, to enter into a contract, on very
extraordinary conditions, for the supply of
the lumber, but that gentleman, after an in
terview with Briean, begged to be excused
from having anything TO do with the bust
ness.
BRIEAN ARRESTED FOR LARCENY.
Subsequently Briean was arrested at the
suit of J. W. Post, charged with grand lar
ceny, but when brought to trial at Phila-
delphia, was discharged, Post failing to ap-
pear against him. Mr.. Gillespie's con-
nection with the affairs OF the company be-
gan and ended with his interviews with
Briean. He never saw Post nor had any
business with him. Briean pointed out TO
Mr.. Gillespie how he could make $4,000 by
paying 5000 for the privilege of securing
she lumber contract. but Mr.. Gillespie was
nos anxious TO make so much money so
easily. Another PiUtsburger was not so
shrewd and paid S. ,O3O in consideration Of
obtaining a contract ostensibly worth $780,
600. This gentleman has lost his money, and
Is content TO say nothing about il.
Mr.. Post, in his pamphlet, says that he
shall cOnfine his statements wholly within
the purview of sworn testimony by unim-
peachable witnesses, which, happily is now
In my possession" He says the Tubular
Car Company is q bona 1ide organization
and at all times acting within its chartered
rights, and is entirely free from debt of any
kind. The Treasurer has the full confidence
of every member OF the company, so far as
known, and has in his possession and at his
immediate command ample funds to pur-
chase all the land needed for the plant and
to erect and carry on the works. When the
time came for action Mr.. Post issued invita-
uOns to all Interested parties to meet at the
st: James Hotel, Bradford, Pa, on the Goth ]
OF July. These were given to BTiean ct the
Astor House, New York, to mail as early as

CHICAGO, Sept ii Wheat has ruled nerv-
ously strong throughout the session There
were occasional weak spots, but the market
showed good rallying power. The opening
figures of the session were a fraction over
two cents above Saturdays closing figures,
and the close was lac higher. Gables re-
ported strong markets in Liverpool, with
quotations half penny higher on spot and
I'D higher on futures while the continental
markets were firm and i'll better tone. This,
in connection with the fact that the Alliance
was sending out another "hold back your
wheat circular, made the shorts very nerv-
Gus, and there was good covering. Decem-
Der opened at 96A096s4c against 96lSc at
the close on saturday, advanced TO 91l2c. but
eased off some on realizing sales.
The enormous receipts held the market in
check some-there being 925 cars here and
about 1880 cars in the Northwest-but there
was little disposition to sell, and, outside
markets showing strength, the feeling was
generally firm.
Later in the day the news of Great Brit
aims action in the Dardanelles matter caused
q stampede OF shorts ID cover and specula-
tive buying which put the price up to 9S14c;
then realizing sales broke the price to 9?Ssc,
the trade losing some faith in the war scare,
but the market remained sensitive. News of
wet weather in the United Kingdom again
steady at 91s4c.
The increase in the visible supply was
strengthening feature, as it was much less
than had been looked for.
The closing cables reported decline of 2
marks in Berlin, and 10 centimes off for Oc-
tober at Paris
Corn opened weak on the enormous re-
ceipts, the absence of frost and free selling.
During the first half hour September sold
down 10 62c, October 20 53I2c, and May to
43l4c. But the bulge in wheat started good
buying, and there was sharp reaction, Sep
tember selling TO 63Ac, October to 56ssc, and
May to 44lsc.
October was much stronger than the other
futures, and closed at an advance of 2lsc
compared with Saturdays close, while Sep
temDer was unchanged 10 I2c lower, and
May unchanged.
Oats were weak Mt the close. but strength
ened with the other cereals, though the
fluctuations were confined 10 range Of 7sc.
Provisions opened weak, but rallied about

An Androscoggin county woman will
have it that animals talk to each other.
And this is the anecdote she relates to
prove her theory:
She has two cats, Dot and Dots
youngest, named for his exploring pro-
pensitieS Christopher Columbus. One
morning little bird flew in at the open
window, and falling to the floor laying
painting and dying. Christopher Col
umbus just then appeared in the door

bus" exclaimed his mistress. and procur-
ing tiny box she put the still warm body
of the teathered mite into it and made a
deep grave under the apple tree. Chris
topher followed and looked longingly at
the box, then went away where he was
not seen for some time. Only Christie
pher witnessed the burial yet an hour
after going out to look at the grave she
found Dot had dug up the box and
Christopher was just about to devour
lhe dainty mOuthful. Now. if Christie

"MOther. there is little bird buried
under that apple tree; get it for me,

St. Croix.
Judge Williston presided at special
term of the district court yesterday,
and the action of Christ Schrade ct al.
VS.. Ferdinand Dornfeld ct al, which
was partially tried few months ago,
was again taken up. The action is the
result of disagreement among the
members of the German Lutheran
church at Lake Elmo. The church
was erected several years ago, and the
congregation affiliated with the Buffalo
synod, which teaches that private con-
feSsiOn is necessary. Since then many
members of the church have decided to
adopt what is termed public confession,
which is now in vogue in many German
United States and Europe, and have
so worshiped in the church. For
so doing the opposing faction claims
t hat they should be excluded from the
church. An endeavor was made to set
tie the matter amicably before the
action was begun. but no agreement
could be reached. A large number of
witnesses will be examined, and the
case will not be submitted to the court
until this evening.
About 100000 feet of logs now re-
main at the Nevers dam, and as soon as
sluicing is finished drive will be made

mated that nearly 25,000,000 feet Of logs
are hung up along the st. Croix be-
tween the dam and the boom limits.

A KING AND HIS GUN.
Why Alfonso OF spain Has Ex-
changed GOverness for a
Tutor.

Why Alfonso of spain Has Ex-
changed a Governess for q
Tutor.
The decision of the queen regent of
Spain to sCpplant the governess of little
King Alfonso with an able-bodied tutor
has a short and curious history, says
the New York Sun.
Last winter one of the kings rela-
tives took to him from Vienna a toy
squirtgun, which he was expected to
use in watering his garden. The squirt
gun became at once the kings pet toy,
and he did not hesitate 10 find all sorts
of uses for it, which were not conducive
to the comfort of his little playmates or
to the dignity of the women of the
court. A few weeks ago at the grand
garden party Alfonso half hid him-
self behind shrub and shouted at
big general in a light blue and gold uni
form. The general approached the
shrub, and Alfonso held up a. handful
of flowers to induce him to come nearer.
When close to the shrub the point of the
kings Viennese squirtgun suddenly ap-
peared in the leaves, and in second
the fine light blue and gold uniform
was spotted and dripping. The general
backed quickly out of range, and, before
Alfonso could reload and follow up his
victory, was safe from further hostili-
ties and under the protecting eye of the
queen regent.
Alfonso. then tried to lure into am
bush Mgr. Raffaelle Merry de Val. sou
of the Spanish ambassador at Vienna,
but the young prelate had seen the gen
erals plight and was wary enough. to
keep several persons between him and
his sovereign all the rest of the after
noon.
On the following day 1t was decided
at the royal palace that masculine
hand was needed to lie heavily ON AL
fonso, and the cautious Mgr. Merry de
Val was selected to train his majesty.
He was to have entered upon his oner-

HUNDRED MILES AN HOUR.
A Philadelphia Man Claims He
Will Build a Locomotive That
Can Make 1t.

A Philadelphia Man Claims He
Will Build a Locomotive That
Can Make 1t.
Philadelphia Record.
''lf the new engine l am about to
have constructed is not capable of max
ing 100 miles an hour, Tll give her away
to the first person meet.''
This astounding statement was made
yesterday by Jackson Richards, the
master mechanic of the Philadelphia d
Reading railroad, who was exhibiting
to party of deeply interested persons
the drawings of a locomotive which.
if successful, is almost sure to
revolutioniZe the construction of the
high-speed locomotives of the future.
Mr.. Richards, who is recognized all over
the United States as having no peer in
knowledge concerning locomotives and
railroad machinery, has been working
on his latest invention for the last ten
years, and few days ago the drawings
were completed and the patent was ap-
piled for.
The new invention will enable a gi-
gantic stride to be taken in the matter
of high-Speed locomotives. and, if the
new flyer is as successful as experts
predict she will be, it is more than like
ly that the time between Philadelphia
and New York will be made in less than
an hour. A specimen engine will be
built for exhibition at the worlds fair,
and the trial trip will be made between
here and that city.
In outward appearance the new loco
motive will not differ materially from
the speedy engines now used OH the
Philadelphia IL Reading railroad be-
tween this city and New York. The
popularity of construction lies in the
fact that instead of the two cylinders
as used at present there will be
four. One cylinder will be To-
Gated on each side of the locomotive
frame as at present, and the other
two will be cast i'll what is known as
the cylinder saddle. The inside pair of
cylinders are TO be in one piece, and lie
on an angle. The outside cylinders are
to be horizontal as at present. The
four cylinders will entirely overcome
center. and the engine will be
perfectly balanced without any
counterbalance in the wheels. This
latter improvement will, to a laage de-
gree, do away with the pounding which
has proven so destructive to modern
roadbeds. The perfect balancing of the
engine will be largely due to the work
ing of the two cylinders so near her
center, and these same cylinders, work
ing as they do, from such central
point Of vantage, will help ont in the
matter of speed to great degree.
According to the experts who have
examined the drawings the valve mo-
ton is perfect. There will be four
valveS-one to each cylInder-and they
will be operated by two Inks, the same
as now used for two cylinders. The
engine is designed to he built on the
Wooten fire-box, the same as is now
used on the famous 1906" which made
a mile in the remarkable time of 80 "A
seconds Aug. 27. The ordinary speed
of the destined world-beater will be
eighty-five miles an hour.
