STEEL TUBULAR CAR COMPANY.
The Scandal Growing Out ofIt-The Miss
ing Post.

PHILADELPHIA, July 30.-Architect
Josiah S. Briean, for whom warrant
OF arrest was issued by magistrate
Devlin several weeks ago in charge
by Manager John w. Post, Of the tubu-
lar car company, of Braddock, Pa, for
embezzlement of stocks and promis-
sorry note for $1,000, amounting In all
to S55, 600, appeared before the magis-
trate to-day for the hearing Of the case.
The prosecutor, however. failed to put
in an appearance and Briean was
discharged. At the conclusion OF the
hearing the architect significantly said:
81 told you that Post would not turn up.
He has good cause to stay away" Sub
sequent events show that the probabili-
ties that II Post had put in an appear
ance he would now been in Moyamen-
sing prison. A detective was waiting
for him ON the outside OF the magis-
trates Office with warrant in his pock-
ct calling for the arrest of the Steel
Tubular Car Company's manager on
the charge of embezzlement of Sl7,500.
For nearly two weeks Brlean and Post
have been giving out that each was on
a still hunt for the other. Post got his
work in first, however, by having a
warrant sworn out before Magistrate
Devlin for Briean on one embezzlement
charge disposed Of to-day. Briean then
declared his intention OF hunting for
Post and left the city for that purpose,
only to be arrested by the latter in
Buffalo and later in New York.
The prosecutor failed to turn up at
either place and Briean was discharged.
The warrant of arrest charging Post
with the embezzlement OF Sl7, 500 in the
pocket Of the waiting detective at
Magistrate Devlin's Office, was issued on
July 22d on the oath of w, J. Gray, Of
the firm of VIM. Gray & Sons, proprie-
tors of an extensive store In this city.
Mr.. Gray had made lengthy
affidavit to the effect that some
time ago Post came TO him
and represented that he was the man
ager Of the "Steel Tubular Car Compa-
n.y." and desired the loan Of the above
amount. In conjunction with the Vul-
canite Paving Company and John 5.
Stevens & Co., the builders, the amount
was furnished. Since then they have
learned that the money was fraudulent
ly obtained, hence the suit. Posts
whereabouts are at present unknown.

A CLEAN BACKDOwN.
Secretary Foster Does Not Sustain the De-
cIsion of Owens

WASHINGTON, July 30.-The admin
istration to-day backed down from the
position taken by Commissioner Of I'm
migration Owens, permitting Mr.. Neid-
ringhaus, of st. Louis, to import tin
plate workers from Wales to TAXA the
places of his striking American work.
ingmen. 1t was Secretary Foster who
knocked the decision galley west. The
decision bad placed the administration
and also Major Mckinley in a ludicrous
plight in view of the fact that the duty
on tin-plate was inserted in the McKin-
ley bill as "pretection to American
workmen."
The Secretary of the Treasury has
written the following letter to Hon. F.
G. Neidringhaus, of ST. Louis, in re-
gard to the importation of skilled work
men for his tin plate mills. Replying
to your letter of the 21st instant, in
which you ask on behalf OF the st.
Louis Tin Stamping Company "Wheth-
er you must go through any particular
form TO import skilled labor for your
tin plate mills" have the honor to
say that no regulations have been
issued by this department prescribing
forms relating to that subject.
Secretary Foster was also exasperated
by another feature of the decision,
which was forcibly called to his atten-
tion by a prominent Italian merchant Of
Chicago. 1t will be remembered that
in his decision allowing the importation
of Welsh tin workers Mr.. Owens con-
temptuously referred to the Italian
residents Of this country as ''dagoes." "
The Chicago merchant, who is a per-
sonal friend OF Fosters, said in his COM
munication that he had always been a
Republican and there were 1000 other
Italian Republicans in Chicago, but that
neither he nor they would vote the
ticket after Republican high in official
station had in an official document
branded men of their nationality as
"dagees." He said that the term was
very offensive to the Italians in this
country and that they would resent it
at the ballot box. Foster is very much
insenced at Owens and to-day he gave
him severe hauling over the Goals.
Another blunder will cost the indis-
Greet Hoosier his place.

SCORES OF VICTIMS.
An Alleged Agent Plays a Sharp Game
In Chicago

In Chicago
New YORK, July 30.-The Herald to-
day publishes the following special
from Chicago:
J. Bush came here about two months
ago and opened an Office as the accred-
tied agent OF the Cooperative Building
Bank, of New York. James w. Hyatt,
ex-Treasurer of the United States, Is
President of the concern, which boasts
of having a capital OF S100,000,000.
Bush flooded the foreign quarters OF
the city with alluring literature, prom
ising homes to every seeker, without a
cent OF capital-all business being done
strictly on the installment plan. His
victims came by the score and parted
with all their savings In exchange for a
worthless certificate OF stock in the
bank. The swindle recently became
known. Not single loan was made to
the depositors. 1t is estimated that
Bush took nearly $1,000 with him when
he left Chicago, eight days ago, saying
he was going TO New York to get the
loans.
Although Henry Carey, secretary OF
the bank, teleRraphed from the New
York Office that Bush was not authoriz-
ed to act as agent, letter from the off,
Ger, which was found in the swindler's
desk, contradicted the denial. Moffit Il
Langlols, who are the general agen IS,
sIad Bush had been authorized to act as
agent beginning July l, and had turned
over S75 TO them. Their explanation as
to why he had been operating In May
and June was that he had obtained a
supply OF stock certificates In some way.
The account of the bank In this city
has been garnisheed, and the victims
intend to prosecute the officers.

Special telegram to tie REGISTER.
WESTON, July sO.-A probable fratri-
eide occurred at Jane Lew, seven miles
north Of Weston, this afternoon. The
village Is located on the West Virginia
and Pittsburg railroad, and is noted for
Its quiet and orderly people, but to-day's
experience has thrown the entire COM
munity into state of feverlsh excite
ment. L. P. Brake and Ashbury Drum
mond had some trouble and got to
nghting. Brake was frightfully
cut about the head with a pock-
ct knife, and received a severe
wound just right Of the heart. A
brother OF the man who did the cutting
lnterferred and attempted to prevent
further bloodshed, when he also became
victim of his enraged kinsman's
knife. He was stabbed near the right
nipple, the blade of the knife penetrat-
Ing the lung and inflicting such serious
injury that he cannot recover.
DR.. Davidson and the celebrated In
dian physician, DR.. Evans, were both
summoned and did all in their power to
alleviate the pain and suffering of the
wounded man. 1t is the opinion that
Brake will recover, but they pronounce
DrummOnd'S wounds as fatal. Ashbury
DrumWond is now under arrest and will
be brought to the jail at this place.

Irish members OF Parliament undergo
ing six months Imprisonment for incit-

and In fact seemed 10 DO
enjoying the most perfect health.
Large crowds OF people gathered out
side the jail long before the hour set
for the dellverance OF the two impris-
oned Irish leaders, and when the latter
did appear they were greeted with loud
shouts Of "Stick 10 Parnell." These
shouts, however. were lntermixed with
Others equally loud and which had for
their tenor Down with Parnell. NO
sooner were the two members OF Parlia-
ment free from the prison surrounding
than deputation composed OF tenant
farmers presented them with several
addresses OF congratulation upon their
release from prison.
Mrs. William 0'Brien, the wife OF tho
well known member OF Parliament, was
waiting IN a carriage outside the jail
for her husband, whom she welcomed
back TO liberty In a most aiectlonate
manner, amid the cheers OF the sur
rounding crowd.

OF welcome and shaking hands with a

and their families will start for this city

The Exchange Telegraph Company
says that Messrs. Dillon and OBrien
have declared that they again accept
Mr.. Parnell's leadership, as they are
strongly in favor OF supporting the
evicted tenants and cannot understand
how patriotic Irishmen can refuse to
assist them.

exhaustion. He has no organic disease

He is gaining rapidly, so much so, that
it does not seem now as il he had ever
been sick. He will go back to Washing
ton this fall much more vigorous and
healthy man than he has been for
years. Have no fears about Mr..
Blaines health. OF course what he
will do about the Presidency l
know not know this, he cannot DO a
candidate, and you would not have him.
If the Republican party wants him, it
should make it manifest and nominate.
do not believe he would decline this
call. l think this is all that ought to
be said. Sincerely yours,
