KEYSTONE BANK AFFAIRS
One of the Investigating Committee
Thinks Auditor McCamsnt Should Ex-


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, August 90
The subcommittee of the city council
investigating the affairs OF ex-City
Treasurer Bardsley and the Keystone
bank met this afternoon. The report
of the expert accountants employed by
the committee to examine the books OF
the bank was submitted. The report
deals principally with the over issued
stock of the bank. Mr.. Hicks, a MEM
ber of the committee, said from what he
had seen of the McCamant letters he
felt justified in saying that he thought
the committee should demand an ex-
PLANTATION from the Auditor General, as
his testimony given before the commit
tee was in direct variance with the
facts contained in the letters.
Mr.. Hicks was Of the opinion that the
committee should be In possession OF the
letters, and made motion that the
District Attorney be requested to fur
nish the committee with the McCamant
and Yard letters.
After a long debate Mr.. Hicks mo-
tion was lost by vote OF 5 to l, Mr..
Hicks being the only member OF the
committee who voted in favor OF it.
A communication was received from
Beceiver Yard, of the Keystone bank,
giving a number of reasons why in his
opinion that at this time 1t would be
inadvisable TO publish the list OF the
stockholders of the bank.

VERY SINGULAR DEATH
Of a Wealthy Nebraskanin Chicago
Hotel.
FOUND DEAD IN HIS ROOM
And There Are Hints That Il Was q Case Of Sui
eide Yet His Life and Position Do Not
Support That ThsOry-A Case That
Is Involved in Mystery

CHICAGO, August 2O.-The dead body
of Clark Woodman, one of the wealthiest
citizens of Omaha, Neb., and an influen-
tial director in the linseed oil trust, was
found dead this afternoon In his room at
the Grand Pacific Hotel. The general
supposition is that the death was that OF
o. suicide. The cause for such an act Is
still a most peculiar mystery, and all
the circumstances do not by any means
confirm the theory of suicide, which is,
however, strengthened by few strange
and unexplained facts.
Mr.. Woodman arrived at the Grand
Pacific last Monday night. No one In
the office remembers seeing him after
he retired to his room, at that time. On
Wednesday evening chambermaid en-.
tered the room and found him lying
across the bed fully dressed, with the
exception Of his coat. Hearing the
sound of breathing, she supposed he
was merely sleeping. She did not re.
enter the room until this afternoon
She found the body still in the same
position, but the face was horribly dis
colored, and the ordor Of the room in
dicated death.
DR.. r. w. S.eger was at once sum
moned and found that such was the
case. The condition Of the body made
plain that he was breathing his last
when seen by the chambermaid or
Wednesday night. On the table were
two bottles, one containing ammonia
and the other spirits Of camphor. The
bottles stood on little piece OF letter
paper on which was written: SO o.
chloroform, 1 OF. ammonia. Some
thing else had been started below thi
on the paper, but 1t was not completed
A stamped and sealed envelope ad
dressed to H. G. Clark, Omaha, Neb.
was also on the table. The handwriting
on the envelope and on the bit OF pape
did not correspond.
Mr.. Woodman was member OF th'
grain commission firm OF Woodman j
Harris, with offices at OF Rocker
building. The current rumor this after
noon was that Mr.. Woodman, whose es
timated wealth is In the neighborhoot
of 81, 900, 600 had lost large part OF al
fortuue during the recent rise in th'
prices of grain on the Board OF Trade
No one could be found to confirm thi
rumor. His family affairs were OF tn,
happiest nature. Hn vas a tall, hand
soIno man nf about 55, with snow white
hair and mustache. He was not drink
ing man, nor had he any known dissipa
tion. His friends hope, despite the cir
cumstances, that death resulted from
heart disease.

PALLIUM CONFERRED
On Archbishop Katzer-Patriotic hemarAs
of Cardinal Gibbons.

of Cardinal Gibbons.
MILWAUKEE, WIS. August 20.-Tne
conferring of the Pallium on Archbishop
f. Y. Katzer, successor OF the late
Archbishop Heiss, took place to-day In
st. Johns Cathedral, this city.
Cardinal Gibbons was the bearer OF
the vestment, and he conferred 1t IN
person.
The procession Of priests and pre-
Iates, and other professions, started
from the Bishops hall at ten o'clock.
It was stated to be the largest assem-
blage Of Catholic clergy ever held IN
Wisconsin.
When the priests set out from the
school house hall on Buren, street rooeu
in their cassocks and surplices there
were 315 of them in line, exclusive OF
the Cardinal, Archbishops, Bishops and
! other dignataries who joined the pro-
cession at the clergy house. The line
was so long that before the las.
priest left the school house the head OF
the procession was at the Cathedral
door. The Bishops clad in their rlch
yestments marched out OF the clergy
| house and followed the priests into the
| Cathedral and after them came Arch-
bishops Ireland and Elder walking to-
qether and having their trains borne.
Then followed Archbishop Katzer walk
ing alone. Last of all in the procession
was Cardinal Gibbons, whom everyone
distinguished by his scarlet robes. Inc
Cardinal looked thin and worn ana MS
figure seemed much more bowed than
when he was in Milwaukee year ago.
There were in the procession besides
the Cardinal and Archbishop katzer Ito
Bishops and two Archbishops. There
were also two Abbots, one ArchaOoot
and Vicar General Preston of New
York, who appeared as the representa-
tive of Archbishop Corrigan. Entering
the chancel Of the Cathedral the Cardl-
nal was escorted TO the throne to the
north of the altar and Archbishop Kat
zer took the Archbishop's seat directly
opposite. The celebrant Of the mass
was Bishop Bonicum of Lincoln, Neb.,
the assistant priests being Vicar Gener-
al Brady Of the st. Louis diocese, the
deacon Father Gulski and the sub-dea-
con Father Langen, of Marquette Mich.
The ceremony was throughout very
impressive. Before the close OF the
celebration Cardinal Gibbons stepped
forward to the front Of the sanctuary.
In speaking the Cardinal referred to
the tide OF Catholics which was contin-
nally pouring from the old world into
free America and said: "Woe to him
that would stir up spirit of national
ism in the leaders Of Israel. God and
our country, let this be our watchword.
| Patriotism is virtue approved and
sanctioned by the Heavenly Father.
There is one country we love above all
others, and that is the United States.
Whether it be the land of our birth OF
adoption it matters not"
The Cardinal then turned to Arch
bishop Katzer and congratulated him on
I his accessiu. TtrO- address wus p~+ri-
Otic In the extreme and would have
been applauded had it been delivered
elsewhere but in church. After the
ceremonies the church dignitaries and
clergy took carriages for st. Francis
Seminary, where they will partake OF a
banquet.

Fuller. I have since learned that
Sheriff Bridgeman. who had secured a
position unknown to Almy, had his gun
leveled on the parleying murderer, and
was at one time at the point OF pressing
the trigger.
The carriage driven by Sheriff Ran
dali was then called for. 1t was driven
up with the curtains down. The
crowd became furious at the prospect
of losing a chance TO see Almy as he
should be driven away. Almy was so
surrounded by officers that he was
scarcely visible and a rush was made
for the carriage, which promised
for minute to overturn IL.
The officers finally got the wagon
cleared, the horses were whipped Into
rapid pace, and Almy was taken swiftly
to the Wheelock Hotel In advance OF
all pursuers. There was grand rush
of the several hundred teams which
soon arrived in the village. Almy was
taken into the dining room at the head OF
the stairs, on the first floor.
The streets about the hotel were
hacked solid with turbulent mob who
were pressing toward Almy's retreat.
On promise that they all should be al
lowed to see the prisoner, they quieted
down somewhat. The doors were open
ed and the people were allowed to file
through the room. The stream was
kept up till 1,5OO had passed, when
Almy tainted and the doors were closed
An examination Of the murderer's Dody
showed that he had been shot three
times, twice in the left leg, the lower
shot breaking the large bone. The shot
scooped a hole out Of the top OF his head
but did not touch the skull.
Almy says there nothing in his past
career that Is bad, except that he hao
gambled some. He will be arraigneo
before Judge Cobb tomorrow, probably
in the afternoon, on warrant sWorr

HOLY COAT EXPOSED
Yesterday Morning in the Cathedral
Shrine in TreveS.
A VERY IMPRESSIVE SCENE.
Many in the Crowded Church Overcome By Thar
Devotional hslings-A Memorable Scsas-1hs
City 0vsrhowing With Pilgrims and
vsitprs-Bishop KOrums Pointed Ad-
dress-0sher EXPOSURES Of the Coat

BERLIN, August 20.-The garment
known as the "Holy Coat" was exposed
to view this morning I'm the Cathedral
at Treyes. Two knights Of Malta in full
costume with drawn swords in their
hands stood on either side OF the shrine,
enclosing the Holy Coat case, which WAS
surrounded by toll lighted candles on
handsome candlesticks and surmounted
by large gold cross. There was an
i'm pressive scene at the sanctuary, over
a hundred priests assisting In the cere-
monies, which were grand in the ex'
treme.
The cathedral was richly decorated
for the occasion and was packed TO the
doors with people. The interior OF the
sacred edlfice was a sight well worth
seeing.
The unveiing Of the relic evidently
made deeply devotional impression on
the crowd OF worshipers. Many were
overpowered by their feelings. Several
women tainted. There was general
movement of the crowd, prompted by
curiosity as well rs religious fervor.
The procession passed the shrine OF the
pilgrimage, most of whom handed
rosary or crucitix to attendant priests
for contact with the relic and was ac-
companied by low hum OF pater-
nosters and aves. Among the pilgrims
are aged cripples and sufferers from al
most every complaint.
Treves is overilowing with pilgrims
and visitors, whose curiosity alone has
been excited. The streets are flied
with professions Of all descriptions and
sacred banners, crosses and llghted
candles are TO be seen on all sides.
Pictures OF the Holy Coat are 10 oe
seen, not only In shop windows In
Treves out in nearly every shop win
dow Of this city. Much comment has
been caused by the remarks Of Bishop
Korum in his opening address to-day:
when he referred pointedly TO the
spiritual Significance OF the Holy Coat
as being a seamless vesturo, and as be-
ing a symbol OF the unity OF the Catho-
lie Church. There were many Roman
Catholic members OF the Retchstag
present. and IL is said that the Bishop
particularly, and In a not to be mistaken
manner, addressed his remarks TO these
members.
The Holy Coat is distinctly visible In
| the body of the Cathedral and Is much
more plainly seen than upon the former
occasions Of it's exhibition. The old
silken covering being almost entirely
worn away appeared to-day to be OF u
brownish yellow color.
The first solemn exhibition OF the
Holy Coat took place In 1lo6, when 1t
was placed under the new altar. II
was also exhibited In the years 1891.
