AJAX ENGINES AND C0RRY
BOILERS.

Total, 1882
If anything was needed to
prove this machinery to be the
oil mans favorite and the best
in the oil field, these figures are
all that is necessary. We sold
nearly 400 Cory boilers in the
same time, making over 1000
pieces as the years output.
The "Ajax" engine is the
strongest, quickest and most
economical engine ever built,
and the Cory boiler is the
largest, strongest, best con-
structed and most economical
boiler in the field. We now
have large stock of all sizes
of engines and boilers, together
with engine and boiler parts
and fittings in warehouse in
Pittsburg, and can supply that
vicinity and the southwest more
promptly than any other manu-
facturer. My Pittsburg office
is All and 422 Bissell Block,

CHENEY NOW THE FAvoRrTE

To Succeed Proctor, Though Steve Elkins'
Name Is Not Yet Dropped.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-[Special 1.-The
formal resignation of Secretary of War
Proctor has revived interest and speculation
on the subject of the appointment of his
successor, and the names of Steve Elkins
and Ex-Governor Cheney, of New Hampshire,
are freely mentioned. Ths Elkins boom,
which was vigorous for a time, has wilted of
late, and the general opinion is that Mr..
Cheney is the coming man, although some
of the Presidents friends are inclined to
think that NJ. M. Estee, of California, who
is a Presidential favorite, will ultimately be
appointed. Elkins, however, still has
friends who are keeping his name and his
claims before his advisers
The report that Senator Hiscock is to be
made Secretary of War, and that he is to be
succeeded in the Senate by Mr.. Fassett is
regarded in Washington as absurd. The
Legislature is Democratic, in which event
the retirement of Mr.. Hiscock would merely
make room for a Democrat in the Senate.
But aside from this consideration, it is
thought that Mr. Harrison would not select
Mr.. Hiscock for the place. In view of the
lack of harmony between the two fac
tions in New York it is not regarded as
likely that he would cor clude that anything
could be gained for the party in New York
by heaping honors upon the leaders of one
of the factions. 1t is known that the Presi-
dent has selected the Democrat member of
the Interstate Commerce Commission and
the belief is that Mr.. Clements, of Georgia,
is the lucky man, but the announcement is
not expected at this time. It is said that
most of the other appointments have been
decided on

BUNKoED BY BEAUTY.
HOW A ST. LOUIS MERCHANT WAS
TAKEN IN AND DONE UP.

Pretty Miss Palmer. Of Chambersburg, and
Her Silk Worm Scheme = She Lets a
Kansas Friend Into Her Plan Of Making
Money and Living in Luxury.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 6.-[Special. ]-About six
months ago handsome, well-dressed
woman, apparently about 30 years of age,
registered at the Hotel Throop, in this city,
as ''Nliss Aloysius Palmer, Chambersburg,
Pa" She claimed to represent the firm of
Palmer, Moran & Co., and said that she was
introducing a new species of silH worm,
which would thrive in any climate.
Miss Palmer was an authority on silk
worms. Interviews with her were extern
sively copied by the country newspapers,
and she was editorially Endorsed. Her
peculiar species was the sacred silk worms
of India, which would thrive en- anything
and make eight or ten times as much silk
as the Chinese species. F. L. McClelland,
retired merchant of this place,
was intoxicated with the prospect
of establishing new industry, especially
when Miss Palmer agreed to become part
ner. She said she would advance $4,000
and have note signed by three persons
asked her to prove the note was good, and
the next day she showed him dispatch
from the First National Bank of Chambers
burg saying the parties named were good
for $50, 900. Mr.. McClelland was satisfied,
and the next day met Miss Moran, of
Wichita, Kas., who was also a silk worm
expert. Business was at once begun, under
the firm name of Palmer, Moran & Co.,
Mr.. McClelland being silent member of
the firm. Remittances were made to Partner
Gore, in Portland, the two women explain
ing that the money must be advanced.
Miss Palmer showed an order from p. Y.
Mosier, of Raleigh, N. c., for 150, 900 eggs,
for which S2s, 500 was to be received. One
hundred thousand eggs were ordered in
Salt Lake, and from other towns equally
large orders.
Misses Moran and Palmer lived in luxu-
rious style and became the talk OF the
town. Mr.. McClelland, who had been foot
ing the bills and advancing money to pur-
chase eggs, never received any money, and
concluded to investigate. He found there
was no such bank as the First National
of Chambersburg, and that telegraph
operator at the Throop Hotel had copied the
dispatch ON blank form on which Miss
Palmer had written. Mr.. McClelland has
advanced in the last three months several
thousand dollars, and this afternoon had
Miss Palmer arrested on charge of OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses. An
itemized statement was filed with the infor-
nation, showing where he had advanced the
women 81, 500, in sums ranging from 5000 to
$500.

Claims Men Arc Paid for Loaffug,

The Public Works Subcommittee on
Water of Allegheny Councils met last
night The pay roll, amounting to s., ,245 80,
and bills in the sum of S5,5 s6 were re-
ferred to the Committee on Public Works
for approval. In discussing the pay roll it
was shown that several men had been off
duty tor several days and had not been
docked for time off 1t was shown, how
ever, that the men had been excused. Mr..
Frasher said that he knew of case recently
where man was not on duty except one
half of a month, but that he had received
full salary. Chief Ehlers was called in and
said that he knew nothing, of such case
Mr.. Frasher replied that it was fact,
nevertheless. No action resulted from the
discussion.

man Gilbride, Of Scranton, in which the
members of the Senate had assumed juris-
diction, he showed that the entire judiciary
committee composed of Is members of the
Senate, all LAWYERS, had committed them
selves to the right of the Senate to examine
into the charges of the personal fitness, in
temperate habits, taking of illegal fees,
barratry, incompetency, neglect of duty,
and mlsmanagement and abuse OF his official
position on the part of the Scranton alder
man; and that the only reason the address,

man resigned
Positions OF the Accuseds Defense.
He then presented summarized, analyzed
and answered the main positions assumed
by the distinguished counsel for the State
officials and police magistrates, the kernel
of which, he said, lay in these propositions
addressed to the Senate:
First-You are not rightfully and law
fully assembled here.
Second-But, being here, you have no
right to prosecute an inquiry.
Third-But having prosecuted and con-
cluded an inquiry, you have no right to
pronounce judgment
Referring to Mr.. Shapley's declaration
that the present session has disclosed no
evidence which was not known or easily
ascertainable when the Legislature was in
session, and when the House of Representa-
tives could have exercised its constitutional
prerogative to impeach, the Attorney
General said:
'This is not correct Indeed, it is grossly
incorrect and utterly inaccurate statement
of facts. Senators will remember when the
Legislature adjourned, May 2S, John Bards-
ley's resignation had not vet become eff
fective; his successor had not entered upon
his duties; none of the reports of the ex-
perts examining his books, with all their
notable entries, had been published or had
even been made; the mutilated check book
had not seen the light of day; its memoir
anda of payments to the ex-State Treasurer
and the later cashier of the present Treas
urer had not been disclosed; there had been
no exposure of the remarkable condolences
between the dates at which Bardsley regu-
larry drew large sums of money for some
unknown and undiscovered persons and the
corresponding dates at which letters of
grateful acknowledgment, dated at the State
Treasury, were sent by its cashier to Bards-
ley for as yet unknown and undiscovered
favors.'
At the conclusion of Mr.. Hensel's argu-
ment the Senate adjourned till Tuesday
morning next HERBERT.

PARKERsBURG, Nov. g. - Charles
Goethrop, a prominent farmer and mail con-
tractor of Randolph county, is under ar
rest for extensive thefts of the mails. The
Goethrop family are old residents and the
fathers nnfinching honesty had given to
the son such confidence of his neighbors
that when he carried the mail they would
send with him sums of money to deposit in
the local banks. He was required to bring
back certificates of deposit for the proper
amounts. This he always purported to do,
bringing back what to all appearances were
genuine certificates.
By pure accident, however, farmer
named John Roach, discovered that his
certificate was not genuine, and an investi-
cation showed that Go ethrop had for years
sbeen systematically robbing those who en-
trusted money to him, and in addition had
been forging the names of the bank officials
to the fraudulent certificates.
The amount Of his robberies is very large
and farmers who thought they had snug
sums to their credit find themselves with
almost nothing. Goethrop is in Jail in Ran
dolph county,

LITTLE BOATS FOR OCEAN VOYAGES.
Captain Andrews and Captain Lawlor
Preparing for Next Summer

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-[ Special. Captain
William Andrews and Captain Josiah Law
lor, the two mariners who have won fame
by crossing the ocean in little boats, were
in this city to-day, and told of an ocean
race they are planning for next year. They
propose to cross the Atlantic in canvas
boats, limited to II feet in length over all.
They will start about the first of June. Cap
tain Lawlor's boat will be named Christ
opher Columbus. She will be AZ inches
wide, IA inches deep amidships and %
inches deep at the bow and stern.
Captain Andrews has decided to call his
boat the '!Flying Dutchman." She will be
four feet wide and Is inches deep amidships.
Both boats will carry mainsail, gaff topsail
aud jib and will have strip of iron for q
keel They will be ''foldable,' and, it is
hoped, nonsinkable. The last voyage made
by these men took place last summer. Cap
tain Lawlor, in the Sea Serpent, crossed the
Atlantic in 40 days, making an average Of
85 miles each day, while Captain Andrews
and the Mermaid were picked up by the

The Brazilian Minister at Paris Says Nom

PARIS, Nov. 6.-The Brazilian Minister
here, in an interview to-day, said: "Brazil-
ians will never accept dictatorship, and
President da Fonseca will not dream of it.
f.he did should resign and ally myself
with a-party that would seek to overthrow,
even by violent means, such dictatorship.
Martial law has not been proclaimed in the
provinces, because there are no Monarehists
there.
Martial law has been proclaimed only in
Rio de Janeiro as protection against
Monarchist attempts at a restoration of the
empire. From experience obtained when
Dom Pedro was dethroned, Congress is
aware that it cannot depend upon the sup
port of either the army or the navy. If it
could it might initiate Chile and seek to
fight President da Fonesca. The troops re-
main faithful because they fear a Nom
archial menace lurking behind the eventual
success for Congress. President da Fonseca
is ill and has neither the will nor the power
to menace the existence of the Republic.
Brazilian finances are in good order"

ABOUT TOWN BUILDING.

MIR. Alexander Says Money Is Too Scarce
for Further Development.
NJ. J. Alexander, the man who brought
into being Jeanette, Charleroi and Barber
ton, in Ohio, sat in the postoffice yesterday
musing on the future. 'The man who
hopes to build successful town" he said,
''must put money into it in good faith. All
such ventures should be we'll backed,
and when tie place is built there
must be. industries to support the people.
No wonder the bottom falls out of so many
new cities when the projectors don't put in
more than 10 per cent in cash, and then ex-
pect to pay the other 90 per cent out of the
receipts. Town building struck the South
first, but you can put your hands on only a
few spots that arc thriving. There is
little prospect at present for further
development in this line. Money is
too scarce, but the indications point to bet
ter business and times. The Presidential
election is coming on and this will be an
other period of unrest. Capitalists are
hugging their funds these DAYS. Full con-
fdence has not been restored. After all
experience shows that only about per
cent of the transactions in the country are
made with cash. The balance of the bust
ness is conducted on faith.
'T don't like Colorado 1 lived there for
quite awhile. Everybody who goes to that
State is in search of money. Only the acci-
dents get it. and then they go into Denver
and spend it in wild and riotous living.
Many of them erect monuments to them
selves in the shape of fine buildings, and
must say that Denver is one of
the best constructed cities in America
But life is not worth living there. Society
is good in spots, but in the main the people
are tough. Colorado has seen much of town
booming and lots of failure. Why 1 remem-
Der two places, Buckskin Joe and Mont
gomery, that had each 5000 people in 1864,
and now there are not ten houses in either
town"

The steamship company reports that
since the treaty went into effect it has had
to charter three extra steamers besides its
regular sailings, and that every ship, with
out exception, has gone out full The ship
ments of machinery for the manufacture of
sugar have been greater than ever known
before. 1t also reports that the leading pro-
vision merchant in Havana estimates that
when the treaty provision as to reduction of
duty on -four takes place, January next,
will reach 100000 barrels per annum, or
double the present total consumption.
Judging from the present indications the
company anticipates that when the treaty is
fully in force it will have to increase the
number of Its sailings or largely increase
the capacity of its ships.

Serious Charges Are Made by a Woman
Before a Grand Jury.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6.-Mrs. Calvin
Somers, while before the grand jury yester-
day, gave some sensational testimony. The
suit of Joseph w. Reay against Treadwell,
Butler & Owens was instituted many years
ago by the plaintiff to confirm his title to
a tract of land in this city now valued at
over 81, ,0OO,O 900. The case was assigned to
Judge Walter Levy by the late Judge Ed
munds, and Levy gave decision for the
Treadwell estate.
1t was In connection with the rumored
expenditure of $40, 900 in fixing the case''
that the grand jury was investigating. Mrs.
Somers testified that Judge Edmhnds was
paid 81, 900 to assign the case according to
the wishes of the defendants. Referring
to the disposition of the $4,000, Mrs.
Somers said Judge Levy got q portion of it
and Chris Buckley another share, while a
third person was given large sum. Judge
Levy, when interviewed, declined to make
any statement further than that the rumors
affecting him had their origin in the spite
of few lawyers who had lost cases in his
court.

Incendiary Meeting.

Egan serves NOtlCe on the Junta Duf1nS IN
Incendiary Meeting.
SANTIAGO, Nov. 6.-The newspapers
here have for several days been publishing
wild stories about a conspiracy formed
among the refugees at the American Lega-
tion to kill General Canto. A notice was
circulated to-day calling for meeting of
people in the plaza to denounce the con-
spiracy. Mr.. Egan, tie United States Min
lister, informed the Junta that threats had
been made to attack the United States Lega-
tion and to capture the refugees, and he
warned the Junta that it would be held re-
sponsible for such action.
Later in the day several thousand men
assembled in the Plaza and applauded sew
eral incendiary speeches in which the sup
posed conspiracy and the United States Le-
cation are denounced. The Junta, upon
receiving Mr.. Egan's letter, sent troop of
cavalry to guard the United States legation,
and as the meeting in the Plaza closed the
Intendente published notice saying that
the stories of conspiracy were devoid of
foundation. Serious trouble was doubtless
averted by this notice, although the Gov
eminent did nothing to prevent trouble
until receiving Mr.. Egan's protest.
