THREE MORE BILLS SLAIN.
Governor Pattison Lays Them Out Cold
With His Little Veto Pen.

Governor Pattison Lays Them Out Cold
With His Little Veto Pen.
HARRISBURG, June 17.-Governor Pattison
vetoed three more bills to-day. The first of
these was the one amending an act relating
to the imprisonment of convfcts in the
Huntingdon Reformatory. The Governor
says: The provisions of the Constitution
invest the Executive of the State with the
pardonlng power to be exercised upon the
recommendation of the officers of the Com
monwealth comprising the Board of Par
dons. Any attempt to separate that power
and to lodge it elsewhere than according to
the direction of the Constitution is q yiola-
tion of the plain intent of that instrument.
The second veto was of an act to increase
the compensation of county assessors i'm
cities of the second class. "The compensa-
tion of county assessors, 1.-THE Governor saws.
"has been recently fixed by general law. The
purpose of the present bill is to alter that
law so far as it relates to cities of the second
class. This is clearly within the constitu-
tional prohibition"
The bill relating to proceedings for the re-
covery or possession of leased furnished
rooms or portions of houses or dwellings.
The Governor says: Whatever merits the
bill may have, or whatever necessity NAV
exist for the special relief which it proposes
to afford, are impaired by it's failure to pro-
vide for any appeal from the Judgment of
the magistrate or justice who is clothed by
its provisions with enlarged powers and
summary authority"

A Grand Sight.

1t will be fine sight to see the great
array of microscopes at the exhibition of
the Iron City Microscopical Society, to-
morrow evening (Thursday), in City Hall.
Under each one will be displayed some
beautiful object in the animal or the vege-
table world, enlarged from so to 200 times,
thus bringing out features utterly beyond
the power of the human vision, and little
familiar with what microscope reveals.
There will also be shown great many
objects enlarged to mammoth size by the
stereopticon, and fully explained by lee
turer. Altogether this will be most inter-
esting and instructive show, and should be
largely patronized by our citizens, Tickets
SOC, children 25c, to be had at the door, or
at Mellor & Hoene's, II Fifth avenue.

A SENSATIONAL SUIT
Filed by Mrs. Marie Collins, Who
Wants a Divorce and Alimony.
ANY NUMBER OF CHARGES MADE.
The Accused Husband Enters Strong and
Sweeping Denial.
A VICTIM OF TERRIBLY HARD LUCK

Last evening the court bureau sent out the
following rather conservative announce
ment, taken from the records: "Mrs. Marie
Collins to-day entered suit for a divorce
from the bed and board of Stephen Col
lins, and asked for alimony Mrs. Collins
states that she was married in 1851. She
charges her husband with cruelty, infidelity
and neglect. On one occasion, she says, he
gave her something to drink as medicine.
1t made her sick and she took it to physi-
clan, who made an analysis of it and found
arsenic in it. Last week he struck her in the
face with his fist and loosened her teeth He
has neglected to provide for her and she has
been compelled to apply to friends for as
sistance. She also accuses him of "unfaith-
fulness."
stephen Collins is well-known in the city,
having but recently resigned from an i'm
portant position in the postof1ce. He has
many friends, and is State Councillor of the
Junior Order of American Mechanics.
Statement From the Defendant
The correspondent of THE DISPATCH at
Cleveland, where the National Council of
the Junior Order is in session was instructed
to secure a statement from the defendant in
the suit. At midnight he wired an express
sion from Mr.. Collins, who spoke as follows:
'It is a perfect surprise to me. 1t is GER

tim of terribly bad luck, L have tried in
every way to fight it down but one thing
follows another. The cruelty consists
in not being able financially to
provide every luxury. The neglect consists
in my being absent from home almost con-
stantly attending to my official duties. The
charge of infidelity is groundless, and will
fight my calumniators to the end. Ny attor-
ney is S. U. Trent, and will be in Pittsburg
Friday morning"
When your correspondent called Mr.. Col
Inns attention to the charge that he had
given his wife arsenic, smile of indiffer-
ence crept over his face as he said:
Avery Positive Denial.

was someone else back of this. 1 am sure of
it now, but think they are overreaching
themselves in taking advantage OF my ab-
sence, and I'll prove it when get home.
never gave Mrs. Collins medicine of any
kind. know of time when she charged
others with giving her poisonous drug"
Outside of this, says the telegram from
Cleveland, it may be stated that Mrs. Collins
is Catholic. The natural opposition that
zation which Mr.. Collins represents. may
have had something to do with the case.
Mr.. Collins seems certain that some one has
prompted his wife to take the step she has.
Mr.. Collins sister, Mrs. Crawford, was
seen last night. She was not prepared to
admit that the parties to the suit were her
brother and his wife, as she had received no
direct information on the subject. She
thought it probable, however, that such was
the case. Mrs. Crawford is very indignant
at the-charges brought against her brother
by his wife,

be buying from others, and that they them
selves could harvest the profits which before
they had paid to the traders, who had
brought the fruits from across the pond, and
who, o,although protesting to belong to the rich
mans people, were rather inclined to be
more friendly with the neighbors, because it
helped their pocketbook. And after the
rich mans people became convinced that
they had been sadly deceived and had been
misled by false statements, they became
very angry, and the rich man in order to
keep peace had to discharge all the slander-
erS and reinstate his old trusty fence
builders. The foreman of the fence-builders
was first made superintendent of one of the
most beautiful spots in the large garden,
and after the lapse of a few years he was
made general supervisor of the whole estab-
lishment.

gine and smoking car turned upside down in
their descent The chair car and forward

sengers, who were not hurt scrambled out as
best they could.
As soon as the citizens of this place learned
of the accident they fastened to the spot
with lanterns, and for two hours worked in
a pouring rain rescuing those who were un-
able to get out. Some of the unfortunateS
were pinned down by broken timbers, which
it was necessary to chop away to rescue
them. The killed are: Express Messenger
Bert Oederverd, of Denver, whose body has
not yet been recovered and Henry Candon,
passenger, of Perry, la. John Mccarthy, pas
senger, was fatally injured. More than score

HOCKEY DURNING Is DEAD.
The Well-Known Pittsburg Cab Driver Joins
the Great Majority,

Hockey is dead. But few people in Pitts
burg will fail to recall the familiar figure of
Hockey" or Edward burning, who was for
many years one of the favorite hackmen of
the city. He was indeed unique and inter
esting personality. While acting as a hack
man he was employed for about IA years in
Archibald's stables, Liberty street, and there
last night were gathered some of his Oldest
friends who had dropped in to have n talk
over his sudden death. He was a soldier
during the late war.
There was perhaps no more popular man
in Pittsburg than Edward Burning. All the
city officials knew him. In his palmy DAYS
he WAS noted for the prodigality with which
he scattered his money. He would go out to
Homewood races make pile of $3.50, and
spend it as quickly as 1t was made. Three
or four years ago he got stroke of paralysis
which left his right side powerless. Last
year he was appointed to take care of the
animals at Schenley Park, and while there
his popularity increased by leaps and
bounds. One of the park wagons is named
after him. Only few days ago he was seen
walking down Fifth avenue, apparently in
the best OF health.
