NEW YORK, March 4-There was rumoa
in the dry goods district Of this city that
John Wanamaker, the postmaster general,
had asked for an extension OF time on his
commercial paper. An investigation shows
that the rumor was without foundation.
It probably arose from the financial situa-
ton Of Wanamaker & Brown, clothing
house in which John Wanamaker is not a
partner. WanamRker & Brown is a stock
concern, and the other partners took John
Wanamaker's stock not long after he en- r

some partial extensions. -

BOSTON CLAIMS THE CRANK.
A MAN ONCE THERE WHO ANSWERS
THE DESCRIPTION.

The Opinion in New York Is That One
Denton, Dime Museum Character, Is
the Mantle Head Identified by Those
Who Knew Him.
NEW YORK, Dec. 81 Special. EThree
months ago there was crank in Boston
who made several Postonians weary telling
them that Russell Sage owed him more
than 81 900, O00 He was looked upon as a
harmless lunatic, and the brokers and law
yers who heard his tale smiled pityingly
and politely bowed him out. He was not
at all violent, and if spoken to on any other
topic than money he would converse as well
as an average man.
He has not been seen here since Septem-
Der l, and the surmise is general that he
may have been the Sage bomb-thrower.
Lawyer Philip s. Rust, Of that city, who
saw the crank almost daily for two or three
weeks, says that the description of the New
York bomb-thrower tallies almost exactly
with that of the man who talked with him
about Russell Sage and his millions. The
only difference is in the beard, but Mr. Rust
says that the Boston man could easily have
raised substantial growth of hair on his
face in three months. He went by the name
of r. A. Meservey.
Though the head of the dead bomb
thrower has not been positively identified
as yet, everything points to its being that
of prof" A. A. Denton, well-known
crank who for years has frequented dime
mus Gums and was a wellknown figure at
Coney Island
This morning among those who called at
the morgue was James Skillman, of Miners
Eighth Avenue Theater. He made a care
flll examination of the head and said that
the face much resembled that of crank
who was about there some months ago.
The man was always covered with medals
and talked about Jay Gould and million
aires in general. This description tallies
exactly with that of Denton. John Den
ton, performer in the Globe Museum, on
the Bowery, said the features were very
similar to those of Denton, and declared he
knew him well, as they were at one time on
exhibition together. Several others were
positive it was that of Denton.
Mr.. Sage went for drive in Central Park
this afternoon and was gone for nearly an
hour.

The Reasons for Delay

The Anti-Sub-Treasury Alliance Conven-
ton Postponed-'TwiE Not Be Held
Until After the Conference at st. Louis
The Reasons for Delay.
WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-W. S. McAllis-
ter, of Mississippi, Chairman of National
Executive Committee Of the Sub-Treasury
Alliance, who has been making a tour of
the States where his party is strongest
found awaiting him here letters from his
fellow-committeemen, urging him to post
pone the date for a national convention
called to meet at Memphis December 16
This call was issued from Indianapolis,
upon the refusal of the Supreme Council,
after lengthy debate, to receive the pro-
test of the anti sub Treasury party and
make the same part of the record. 1t had
previously been determin -, in tbs event of
such action by the Supreme Council. to per-
feet distinct organization, with the object
of restoring the Farmers Alliance to its
original state of fidelity to its constitution.
The proposition to postpone the convention
until later date was acted upon by Chair
man McAllister, who tonight issued the
following:
HEADQUARTERS NATIONAL EXECUTIVE CONF
M1TTEE, ANTI-SUB-1REASURY ALLIANCE,
WASHINGTON D. c., Dec. s, 1891
To Mem bers of the Anti-Sub- Treasury Alliance:
In obedience TO urgent requests from
many members of the Antf-Sub-Treasury
Alliance, the National Convention called to
meet at Memphis, December 16 is hereby
postponed to date which will be hereafter
named. W. S. MCALLIsTER,
Chairman for the Committee.
The reasons for this action were given by
Mr. McAllister in an interview as he was
taking the train tonight for home in Cam
ton, Miss. when our call was issued"
he said. ''the Supreme Council had taken
no action on the third party question. Sub
sequently it appointed 25 delegates to the
third party conference set for February %,
at St. Louis. Notwithstanding this action,
the National Alliance leaders are denying
that it is their purpose to turn the Farm
ers' Alliance into political party. The
result of the st. Louis conference will de-
termine their real purpose in the premises
and hence the propriety of postponing our
national convention"

sAWTELLE'S CRIME OF CAIN.
Tho New Hampshire Murderer's Awfu
Confession in Court,

Tho New Hampshire Murderer's Awful
Confession in Court.
CONCORD, N. H., Dec. S-Isaac B. Saw
telle appeared yesterday before the Supreme
Court, full bench, to tell the story of
the killing of his brother Hiram,
on a motion for a new trial. Isaac is already
sentenced to die in New Hampshire, and
the present action is to establish the fact
which the prisoner alleges, that the murder
was done in Maine, where there is no capi-
tai punishment, instead of New Hampshire,
under the laws of which State he is under
sentence of death. The spectacle is pre-
sented of murderer confessing the murder
of his brother to save his own life.
Sawtelle's story consumed three hours in
the telling. He told how he met his brother
at Rochester, N. H, February g. 1890,
whittier he had lured him from Boston by
telegram, saving his child was there sick.
Isaac had a revolver in his clothing a pick
and a shovel in the wagon he had waiting,
and writing material with which, in a lonely
shanty over the Maine line, he 0saac) in
tended to have his brother sign to him GER
tain Boston property, or kill him for refus-
ing. The brother refused to sign, and Saw
telle shot him, then digging a grave for the
body, and, after chopping off the head and
arms, he buried the corpse in the woods.

Il. & O, Wants More Yard Room,

The story is again revived that the
Baltimore and Ohio road wants Second
avenue between Lock No. and the Tenth
street bridge for yard purposes. In return
the road will give its tracks along the Bluff
street hill for the street. 1t is claimed
Second Vice President King has submitted
plan to the city, and points out how the
change would benefit Pittsburg. The
Baltimore and Ohio has bought most of the
property on both sides of the avenue to the
lock. The citizens are opposed to moving
the street over to the hill unless retaining
wall is built to prevent land slides. The
improvement would give the Baltimore and
Ohio so more feet between the hill and the
river, and its yard facilities would then be
ample. The Baltimore and Ohio made q
great mistake that it didn't buy all the
land along the river to Glenwood years ago
when it could have been had for song.
Under the new deal the Baltimore and
Ohio would gain five miles of track.
