A REPUTATION AT STAKE
In the Famous Fire Brick Litigation at
New Cumberland. West Va.

In tho Famous Fire Brick Litigation at
Now Cumberland. West Va.
STEUBENvILLE, O., July Il Special. J.
A suit was filed in the Common Pleas
Court yesterday that will likely open the
details of business transaction which has
been the subject of much comment in the
Ohio Valley. The title of the case is the
John Porter Fire Brick Company, of New
cumberland, w. Va, versus John Porter.
The petition is based upon three causes of
action, the first of which is an account for
1886 "a. The second recites that on April
10, 1890, the plaintiff corporation purchased
from Porter certain fire clay properties for
5000, 900, but portions thereof were subject
to two deeds Of trust, one on the Eagle
Fire Brick Works to Hugh L. Irwin to
secure Mary A. Stewart, Administrative,
for Sc, ,666 66, and the other on the 1Etna
Fire Brick Works to John A. Campbell to
secure David s. Silvers for $1,000, both of
which deeds of trust the defendant agreed
to discharge and to pay of the indebted
ness, but he has utterly failed so to do. An
accounting of the amount due is prayed for
and the sale of said stock ordered, that the
proceeds may be applied to the payment of
said indebtedness.
1t is claimed that the answer of Porter
will make some grave charges, and the suit
will be fought with great bitterness. In
his answer Porter may also recite the man
ner in which he was frozen out of the COM
pany last October. In any case, Porter's
answer will bring out sensational disclos-
ures. John Porter is at present Repub-
Gcan candidate for Sheriff of Hancock
county and the most prominent business
man In the Panhandle" of West Virginia

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.1
SAN FRANCISCO, July IA sensa-
tional scene was enacted in the Office
of the Chief of Police to-day, when William
j. Pitcher, confronted with evidence of an
old swindle by which he made 5000, swal-
! lowed poison and died in horrible agony at
the feet of the officers.
Two years ago Mrs. Emma Dicks name
was forged to mortgage upon valuable real
estate which she held, and the fofgers re-
ceived $8, 900. A woman personated her,
and Notary Cobb was induced to make out
the mortgage. The woman was attended by
two men, one of whom Cobb knew as j. G.
Wells, broker and real estate agent. The
real Mrs. Dick repudated the whole matter.
The police last week ran down a woman
named Oracle Gilbert, who acknowledged
personating Mrs Dick, and who said Wells
and w. j. Pitcher hired her to commit the
crime. She was brought here, and in the
Office of the CHIEF of Police the accused
men were brought face to face with her.
Wells tried to bluff, but the woman. said:
cts no use. Wells; they have got ON to
you"
Pitcher was brought in. When he caught
sight of the woman he jumped as if he was
shot, but denied all knowledge of her He
asked permission to write a note to his
wife, and when the captain was out of the
room swallowed deadly poison that he
carried. Attention was called to him on
account of a strange noise, and when seen
he was foaming at the mouth. He had
simply written, Dear wife, will" when
he fell, and before he could be removed
from the room he was dead.

THE FINANCIAL PLANK
OF the Platform Prepared and A Accepted by
the Full Committee.

or the Platform Prepared and Accepted by
the Full Committee.
OMAHA, NEB., July AT 10 P. M. the
Committee on Resolutions convened and
various subcommittee were called upon to
hear their reports The SUBJ Committee on
Finance, through its Chairman, Ignatius
Donnelly, reported that it had taken the
st. Louis platform as a basis, and after
slight notifications had decided to recon-
mend the adoption Of the following as the
Peoples party declaration on the financial
question:
We demand q national currency, safe
sound and flexible, issued by the general
Government only, a full legal tender for all
the use Of banking corporations, just,
equitable and efficient means of distribu-
tion direct to the people at tax not exceed
ae set o1sh in per the
plank, FarTners' Alliance, or some better
system also by payment in discharge of its
obligations for public improvements. We
demand free and unlimited coinage of silver
and gold at the presenG legal rate Of l6 to !.
B-We demand that the amount of circu-
lating medium be speedily increased to not
less than $50 per capita.
C-We demand a graduated income tax.
Dive believe that the money Of the coun-
try should be kept as much us possible In
the hands OF the people, and hence we de-
mand that all State and national revenue
shall be limited to the necessary expenses
Of the Government, economically and hon.
estly administered.
Eve demand that postal savings banks
be established by the Government for the
snfe deposit OF the earnings OF the people
and TO facilitate exchange.
1t was decided to draft resolution which
would in effect declare that the Peoples
party was in favor of the construction of
the Nicaraguan Canal, if after its expert
examination it should be found feasible,
but that it should be constructed through
the issuance of Treasury notes and be
owned entirely by the Government.
On the force bill a resolution was adopted
providing for purity of elections, but pro-
nouncing against Federal interference. 1t
will read:
Resolved. That we arc in favor of free
ballot and fair count in all elections, and
we pledge ourselves to secure it to every
legal voter through the intervention Of
States by means Of the Australian or secret
ballot System

the 8 900 men employed in the works have
received their wages for the two weeks end
ing Thursday night.
To the wage workers and their employers
the day really began at noon. Up to that
hour there were no crowds and little if any
excitement. But when the clocks in thou
sands of homes announced the midday hour
a great throng gathered about the main
entrance Of Fort Frick. They stood shoul-
der to shoulder along the railroad tracks and
patiently awaited the opening of gates 1t
is no pleasant thing to stand on the
rocky road-bed of modern rail-
way for a full hour and especially
when a July is hanging directly
overhead, but these men made no complaint.
At last there was a crcaking of hinges and
tha rattle Of timber, and then the great
gates parted in the center and the food of
eager humanity marched through the
broad opening.
Began to Got Impatient.
They passed the empty wa ter trough and
surged with almost irresistible force against
the pearl-tinted front of the main office. This
wall of slightly planking was punctured bya
dozen small windows, and before these
openings the men were massed. They were
packed as close as sardines in a box, and,
presently, as those in the front ranks began
TO feel the pressure mighty
shout arose. For a full hour these 1000
men had beeen standing in the with
ering glare OF the relentless sun god
At this juncture the shutter OF the central
window was raised and framed IN the mar
row opening was the face of one of the leaders
OF the movement When those outside
caught a glimpse of that face in the window
hush prevailed. Comrades" said the man
in the window in voice so loud that all
could hear, "you will all be paid, but
you must form in line
one behind the other and await
your turn. Remember that you are gentle
men and act as such. L need say no
more. "
The simple eloquence of this terse speech
stirred the crowd to its verv core and the
plaudits to the speaker were loud and long,
The shutter dropped with bang, but in
obedience to their leaders the men dropped

he was arrested.
At Central station he said that he in.
