ANDERsoN's ESCAPE.


Hadden aud Tucker Indicted by the Gin
cinnati Grand Jury for Helping Him.
CINCINNATI, September 27.-Indicted!
This is the position of Lewis NJ. Hadden
and Cal Tucker this morning.
As may have been inferred, the ef-
forts of the special grand jury formed
to inquire into the facts Of the escape
of Burglar Jim Anderson from the
county Jail have not resulted in vain.
In fact, pay dirt was struck. Tomorrow
morning at IL o'clock the members
OF that august body will file into Crimi-
nal Court room No. z. Mr.. Lowe En-
erson will head the line of representa-
tive men equally as distinguished as he,
all Of whom have been engaged for eX-
actly six days in secret session. MIR.
Emerson will bear In his hands two,
and probably three papers. One Will
be an indictment charging Lewis
NJ. Hadden with aiding to transport
into the Hamilton county jail certain
instrument, to-wit, one key for the ex-
press purpose of aiding and abetting
scheme whereby one James Anderson, a
legally detained prisoner, was to be al
lowed to mako his escape from
the bastile. The second paper
will be of similar import and
will carry the name of Calvin Tucker
instead of that of Mr.. Hadden. Paper
No. 3 may be an indictment against An
derson's wife for being cOnspirator to
the same end. Michael Hadden, the
clerk, will receive the report. 1t Is pos
sible that supplemental report may be
handed up, setting forth the details usual
TO such deliberations. Judge Buch-
walter will address the jury in few
.syell chosen" words. He will then
thank the jurymen for the care and
diligence they have shown. 1t
Is possible that the supplemental
report will express the appreciation
the jurors may feel for the valuable as
sistance rendered by County Prosecutor
Schwartz. 1t is not improbable that
the rotund, priest-like viSage OF haunt
ed-bv-baldness ex-Judge NJ. f. Wilson,
will be somewhere near the bench. Not
far away may be seen the tall, lean,
lanky form OF Cal Tucker.
Judge Wilson will address the Court
after the above ceremonies. On behalf
of Tucker he will no doubt waive the
reading of the Indictment, and Tucker
will give bond.
1t is not stretching imagination to say
that the keen, intellectual features OF
ex-Police Judge j. D. Ermston Will be
pushed to the foreground at this stage OF
the checkered game Of life. lie VIII,
in this young mans well-known stepped
in-vinegar tones, inform the Court that:
sIf YOUR Honor please, my client, MIR.
Hadden, who is present, and who is
mention in one of the inditments handed
to your Honor, will waive the reading
OF the Indictment, and is ready to give
bond. At what sum will your Honor
place it? -
The bond will be given, and Messrs'
Hadden and Tucker will walk forth free
men for time.

TWO BIG FIRES
In St. Louis-A FIGURING Mill and Impie
ment Works Destroyed.

In St. Louis-A FIGURING Mill and Impie-
ment Works Destroyed
ST. LOUIS. Mo-, September 27.-Be-
tween three and four o'clock this after
noon fire was discovered in the machin-
cry storage room Of the Plant milling
company, situated at the foot OF Choteau
Avenue and the flames spread SO rapidly
that the firemen could do nothing but
save adjoining property. The mill was
FIVE story brick structure, rs feet
front on Choteau Avenue, and 100
feet deep. The warehouse con-
tanned 1000 barrels OF flour, and the
building and contents are In ruins. The
capacity Of the mill was 1850 barrels
per day, and was one OF the largest In
this country. George p. Plant, the
President OF the company, places the
loss at $3.50, 900, with insurance about
the same. The original Plant Milling
Company was established In 1851, and
the company is one Of the best known
I'm the country. The mills will be re-
built.
About 6 o'clock and shortly after the
plant mill fire had been gotten under
control, an alarm was sounded from
Ninth and Spruce streets, the location
of the immense warehouse Of the Man
sur-Tibbetts Agricultural Implement
company. A fire had started In small
two-story unoccupied building on the
corner of Ninth street, and In few
minutes the flames extended to the six
story building OF the Mansur-Tibbetts
company. The building was filed
from the basement to the roof
with all kinds OF farm implements,
wagons, ETC., and In less than half an
hour the entire building was q mass OF
flames. In less than an hour the walls
on all sides crumbled away, and what
was this morning one of the most sub
stantIal buildings in the city Is now
level with the ground and It's contents
entirely consumed. The stock In the
warehouse was valued at about S225. 900
and was nearly, II not quite, covered
by insurance In home and foreign COM
panies. The building was owned by the
Tiffany Real Estate Company, valued at
$50, 900, and insured for 100000. The
origin OF the fire is unknown.

Better stick to Facts.

WASHINGTON, September 27.-It is
understood that the Republican mana
gers in Ohio have been advised from
Washington that they had better stick to
the political issues and avoid per-
sonai fight against Mr.. Campbell, such
as was started by the publication In
Cincinnati with relation TO the
Judgment on a note for $4,000.
To make an attack on Mr..
Campbelrs business credit, 1t Is
feared. might be as disastrous as was
the baIlot-box forgery. 1t turns out
now that he has paid the Judgment, and
that the attack, as far as ii has gone, has
nroven a boomerang. At all events,
experience has shown that it is better
to keep to political issues in a fight like
the one now being waged in Ohio, and
to leave all personalities out"

At st. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, September 27.-The earth
quake shock here Yesterday was quite
violent. II was not long after the shock
before inquiries and reports concerning
the earthquake began flowing into the
newspaper Offices. 1t seems that the
shock was very general, and that the
vibrations were slow, but very notice
able. Several people were awakened
from sleep, particularly In the west
End, aud rushed TO the streets in their
night clothes. Among those who mi
grated from their beds were Governor
Johnson and his family, who live at the
corner Of Washington and Pendleton
avenues. Probably the most singular
experience was that OF J. b. Waters. Of
the Salvage Corps, on the corner OF Lo-
Gust and Seventh streets.
Mr.. Waters was shaken of his stool
while sitting at the switchboard.
Considerable crockery and glassware
were demolished, and il is reported that
some wooden stables on the outskirts OF
the town were toppled over, but it is not
known whether the report is authentic.
Buildings facing the north and south
were visibly affected By the shock,
Watchmen in several high buildings say
they became alarmed and made all haste
TO reach the ground. AT one newspa-
per Office, the cOmpoSltOrs who were on
the fifth floor left their cases and rushed
panic-stricken down the stairway and
into the streets. Throughout the city
the police report that the people rushed
from their homes in great alarm. No
serious damage has been reported as

RAUM TO BE BOUNCED.
BY the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Blair Slate
for His Place.

WASHINGTON, September T.-The
Harrison administration is said to beon
the point OF indulging in another Pen
sion Office row. Among the big appoint
ments there will probably appear the
name OF new Commissioner OF Pen
sions, the third in less than three years.
The report is abroad to-day that the
President will shortly accept the resig-
nation OF Commissioner Raum and ap-
point as his successor ex-senator Blair.
The rumor lacks direct verification, but
there Is little doubt that General Raum
is to be removed, whether or not Mr..
Blair is the man chosen to take his
place.
Soon after President Harrison re-
turned from Cape May he had a long
talk with General Raum, at which 1t
was plainly intimated that the admins.
tration would be pleased to get rid OF
the embarrassment caused by the reten-
tion of the Commissioner in office, and
that as soon as his successor could be
selected the General might expect to re-
ceive a request for his resignation.
President Harrison has been inclined 10
look with suspicion upon General haum
ever since the investigation last winter,
when so many unpleasant facts we're
brought to light about the conduct OF
the Pension Office.
Then when the investigation was fol-
lowed by the discovery OF the rascaiity
of the Commissioners son, continued
after he was dismissed from office, the
president became more than ever con-
vinced that there must be change In
the head of the Soldiers Bureau. Mr..
Harrison was very reluctant, indeed, TO
come to this conclusion, because the ap-
pointment of General Raum had been
a personal one with him, and he had re-
peatedly congratulated himself on hav-
Ing found at last the right man for the
right place.
When the House Investigating Com
mittee completed its work and made
whitewashing report last spring, the
President told General Raum plainly
that he must see to IL that the House
adopt the report, otherwise his Official
head might be In danger. Speaker
Reed, however, thought the House had
more important business TO transact In
it's closing hours, and SO the Raum
whitewashing report remained on the
calendar without action.
1t is understood in Washington that
when Raum's removal does take place
there will be some surprising develop
ments about his conduct OF the office
that has not been made public, and
which cast entirely into the shade the
shortcomings OF which he has already
been convicted.

CAMPBELL ON TIN PLATE.
A Speech Devoted to the Difference Be-
tween That and Terne Plate.

tween That and Terne Plate.
COLUMBUS, September Ex-Governor
Campbell had to drive S'ine miles TO
reach his appointment at London, Mad
ison county, yesterday. As they passed
the new court house, now under process
of construction, the Democratic work
men ran up flag and put great roost-
er on top OF the court house,
and an immense placard, stat
iLg; "There is no Piqua tin
used on this building" The platform
was emblszoned with great streamers
stating that no Piqua lead tin was used.
This gave the Governor an opportunity
to explain the difference between tin
plate and terne plate. The Governor ex-
planned that to talk OF terne tin plate
was as absurd as to spesk of black
white man; that terne plate was terne
plate, and tin plate was tin plate, and
that there was no such thing as terne
tin plate.
The word terne came from the French
and was used to indicate that whatever
IL was applied to was composed of three
different articles. The word terne as
applied TO metals means that the metal
named was composed of union or COM
position of three metals, no matter
whether tin be used or not. Terne plate
had technical meaning, and meant q
metal the basis OF which was sheet iron
or steel dipped into a mixture Of lead
and tin, making q plate composed Of
three metals. iron, lead and tin.
