NEW YORK, March 20-A Philadel-
phia special to The Herald says recent
revelations, at Mercer, Pa, disclose the
fact that the State of Pennsylvania has
been robbed of more than 81, QUO, 900 In
the management of the soldiers orphans
schools. The illegal profits of one of the
ten big schools amounted to $270, 900 and
this school was one of the three that
were controlled by syndicate headed
by ex-State Senator George w. Wright,
of Mercer, Pa. The fortunes accumu-
lated by eight men through
\ Pinching Orphans
and fleeing the state are alleged to be
roundly, as follows: George w. Wright,
$500, 900; John /. Gordon, $285 900; s.
F. Thompson, SIS, 0oo; r. R. Wright,
$65, 900; James L. Paul, $50, 600; Mayor

81 ,095, 900. A considerable part of this
sum may be recovered, as the persons
here named have retained $75O,000 of
their profits. The statute of limitation
does not work against the common
wealth. All of the gains appropriated
by these men were acquired in direct
violation of law, without contract of
any kind. The method to be employed
is very simple and has been repeatedly
done at Harrisburg. The auditor gen.

wealth proceeds in the courts to obtain
the moneys that have been Illegally
taken from it for traffic in orphan

PROCTOR MAY RESIGN.

The Secretary of War Said to Have an
Eye ON Senatorial Seat.
New YORK, March ga special
from Washington to The Herald says
that Redfeld Proctor. secretary of war,
will shortly resign. The information, it
says, is obtained from trustworthy
sources and may be accepted as abso-
lutely true. The reasons alleged for
this action are that Mr.. Proctor finds
his business interests in Vermont have
suffered greatly from the lack of his
personal attention. 1t is also stated that
another reason for the secretary's retire
ment is that he desires to be United
States senator to succeed Mr.. Edmunds
or Mr.. Morrill,, should either of them
retire before the expiration Of their
terms, and his chances of working up
ths necessary support viii be better in
Vermont than in W Washington.

Sensational" Orr Examined and
Committed to the Asylum.

Sensational Orr Examined and
Committed to the Asylum.
Charles q. Orr, the crank who created
such wild scene in Judge Canty's
court Saturday forenoon, has been COM
mitted to the insane asylum. He was
examined in the probate court yesterday
afternoon, with Drs. w. A. Jones and
w. j. Byrnes as examining physicians S.
Orr was an ugly sight as he sat i'll
chair with his arms strapped tightly to
his waist and twitched nervously about
His collarless shirt was dirty and
stained with the blood of cat which he
had just killed in his cell before being
brought into count. Upon being Ques-
toned by Judge COrrigan ana the
physicians he spoke nationally and ex-
planned that he had no intention of
dropping" anyone in the criminal
court Saturday. He said that he had
discovered new evidence In the Hail
perm case, and his purpose in court the
other day was simply to secure a con-
tinuance if possible, and give Heilpern
his aid toward securing new trial.
He had no idea of injuring any one. but
thought that an effort would be made to
lnjure him, and when the deputies
seized him TO put him out of the court
room he thought it was the work of
conspiracy, whose purpose it was to
silence him. That is why he resisted
the officers. But Mr.. Orr was not quite
so apt when it came to explaining lis
strange actions since his incarceration.
He simply stated that he had fits of
nervousness occasionally. He admitted
that he had been a slave to an unmen-
tionable habit, but said that he had
conquered it recently. He said that his

ton.
Deputy Sheriff Miller took the witness
stand aud related Orr's wild actions i'm
the criminal court room and in the Jail.
He told how Orr had hung big Tom
cat in his cell during the day. The cell
was so small that the man couldn't
wiring the cats neck, and so he held it
up while it strangled to death. Other
deputies testified that Orr had been
yelling madly ever since he was brought
into the Jail Saturday morning. Orr,
acting as his own attorney, closely
crOsS-examined the witnesses. but
gained nothing thereby. Then he
called several witnesses of his own, and
proved that his actions during the past
few months. up 10 Saturday, were IA
tional, although rather cranky. 1t was
cOnclusively shown. however. that Orr
had been wildly insane from the time
he created the sensation in court until a
few minutes before his examination be-
gan. When Judge COrrigan announced
that commitment would issue, Orr
exclaimed:
But, your homo, r there has been TO medica'
examination. Let's get some physicians
here to examine me-
The court explained that Drs. Jones
and ByrneS, who had been conducting
the examination, were experts on in
sanity. Orr stared at them a moment
and then contemptuously remarked:
why, they are more like lawyers than phy-
sicians. From the manner in which they
questioned me judged them to lie prosecut-
ing attorneys

Ministers in Session

The Presbyterian ministers took another
turn at the question of the coming of Christ
ana its relation 10 the Millennium Yesterday
Two weeks ago they listened to paper BY
Rev C. c. Herriet advocating The theory
thai the coming of Christ would usher in the
Millennium. Yesterday Rev j. L Lee Of the
Oliver church, answered Mr.. Herriott. He
held that none of the illusions to the second
coming say anything about the conversion of
men. Men are supposed TO be all converted
when Christ makes His second appearance
on earth. His second coming will be for the
purpose of separating and judging men.
At the meeting Of the Baptist ministers
Rev. Wayiand Hoyt read a paper on the IN
SEPARATION OF the Bible. He was a firm he
lever in inspiration. He thought though,
that inspiration was not dictstion. The
Bible came from God. but ii retained all the
peculiauties of man. whose work il was. In
SEPARATION meant the motive force, not the
mechanical appliances through which the
force was applied.
