THEY CHARGE MURDER.
1t Is Alleged That Miss Ebersole Was
Killed for Her Money.

AAhhpa toA A4SA ANAOhSys
LANCASTER, Pa, April S.--A. o. Mar
tin and ]. NJ. Ginrich, of Lebanon
county, arrived in this city yesterday
and charged that their niece, Ada R.
Grove, this county, on March 2s, had
been fatally dealt with, and demanded
that her remains be disinterred and an
investigation be made. Miss Ebersole
died at Dalton, O., and her remains were
brought east by her stepfather, Harry
r. Weinman, with whom she lived and
who is suspected of having caused her
death. Mr.. Weinman's peculiar actions
and different stories he told of the
girls death, and the fact that he would
allow no one to come east with him with
the body, aroused suspicion.
Investigation has disclosed the fact
thatthe girl, who was in excellent health
was only sick two days, and that as soon
as she complained of being ill., and be-
fore doctor was called, Weinman said
she would die. Mr.. Weinman said a
post mortem was held at Dalton and
that five doctors who attended found
the lining of her stomach punctured
with small holes, but could not find the
cause for her strange and sudden death.
The reason assigned by the relatives for
the foul play is that Mr.. Weinman de-
sired to obtain possession of his step
daughters money. She had been left a
good sized bequest by her grandfather,
and as she was to have been married
soon it is Thought that Weinman re-
sorted to crime to prevent the money
from escaping his grasp. The body will
be disinterred and a thorough investiga-
ton NADIA

An Alleged Conversation Regard
ing the Presidency.
SENATOR HIsoOCK's PREDICTION.

Harrison VIII be Nominated and
Defeated by the Disappointed Of
nee Seckers-Undcr the Present
System, Says the Senator. We May
Expect a Change Every Four Years.
BALTIMORE, April s.-The News prints
conversation overheard in the United
States senate chamber between Senator
Hiscock, of New York. and four Repub-
lican politicians from the state who
called to ask the senator to urge Presi-
dent Harrison and Secretary Foster to
remove Democrats now holding places
in the New York postofiice and custom
house and replace them with Repub-
licans.
Gentlemen" said the senator, ''it is
OF no use. l have gone to see both the
president and secretary of the treasury
about these very matters, and they will
not listen to me any more, and will
absolutely do nothing. The president
thinks he has a chance to capture the
mugwump vote by playing civil service
reform, and has refused over and over
again to allow more removals. l have
talked with him and Mr.. Platt has done
the same thing, until we are both tired,
and l have made my last visit to the
White House for the Dnrpose.
But, Senator, if something is not
done there is no use in talking about
renominating Harrison and expecting to
carry New York fr him. He is not
particularly popular now, and if he re-
fuses what we ask it will only add TO
his unpopularity.
Harrison Must be Nominated.
well, we can't help that" said the
senator. 1--WE have got to nominate him
whether we want to or not. Blaine is
too sick to take it, Alger's record shuts
him out, Sherman is more unpopular
than Harrison, and we will be obliged
when the convention meets to renom-
mate him or repudiate the administra-
tion of the last four years. In my can
did opinion it don't mako much differ
ence whom we nominate, he is bound to
be beaten. The Democrats will have to
nominate Cleveland, and the whole
country seems to be going wild over
him and he will be elected hands down.
Harrison is unpopular here and every
where else, and Blaine is the only man
we could have any chance of electing,
and it would be hard squeeze to elect
him. But he is out of the race, he is rs
as good at dead now, and if he were to
be nominated l don't believe he would
live week.
"The disappointed Office seekers beat
Cleveland, and, if there were no other
reasons, they would beat Harrison, As
long as the present system of disposing
patronage lasts the administration will
change every four years, and the dis
appointed office seekers will do it if
nothing else does There has bcnn mora
disappointment, more heartburning,
more dissatisfaction over Harrison's APP
pointments and those of his subordinates
than there has been during any other
administration within my recollection.
He has tried to carry water on both
shoulders and be both civil service re-
former and partisan Republican. Nc
man can be both unless he is a very
great man, and even Harrison's warm.
est admirers have never accused him oi

PANAMA, April S.-A letter from La
Guayra says that General Crespos
troops have been defeated, and their
position in the vicinity of Ortez has been
occupied by the government forces.
Crespo has fled and his present where
abouts is unknown. The defeat is said
to be due to the fact chat Crespo had not
yet armed all his troops as the rifles
were kept back in consequence of the
close watch Of the governments men

OF them We're unarmed, and all of them
We're undisciplined. 1t is not thought
that Crespo has left the country.

Tho Conspiracy Against American
Industry.
Tho Register belongs to tho band OF
conspirators who are doing all they can
to discourage the tin plate industry in
this country and to prejudice tho pub
lie mind against tho effort that is being
made to establish an American tin plate
industry. The conspirators have some
reason OF their own for preierring to
have tin plate for tho American market
made in Wales.
These things will not DO forgotten.
The conspiracy may not BIO without its
effect on the young industry, but the
conspiracy will not succeed and tho tin
plate industry will. Tho country has
gone successfully through other indus.
trial struggles. 1t has made steel rails
for example, when 1t was said they
could not be made in this country. 1t
has shownthat American skill can mako
ribbons, silk dress goods, fine glass ware,
china; has furnished new employmonts
for American labor and cheapened the
price OF every article.
So it will be with tin plato. When this
industry shall have been established In
the United States the product will DO
furnished to- consumers cheaper than
ever the foreign manufacturer furnished
it.
Why DOES the Democratic party get
red in the face over the proposition to
keep at home S2O,OOO,OOO year and to
cheaper every piece of tin plate? 1t
may be good partisan politics, but it is
very inferior article OF business and
patriotism.

Too Big for Comfort.

AOo dig lOE SoIIllOrts
What is this we see? Tho Democrat
ic majority in the house SO large that it
may have to content itself with con-
ference on,the~ silverrquestion= because
the faithful cannot be pulled into a
caucus? This is more than sad. A con-
ference cannot bind. That is the gentle
Office OF the caucus.
Ii the Democrats had the house by a
narrow majority they would have no
trouble to "get together" as Mr.. Ran
dali advised The landslide which
brought in the present Democratic
house brought with it a good many
statesmen who feel that they are as big
as any other big statesmen, leaders by
the score, every one with his hat full OF
schemes necessary to the salvation Of
the party.
So it happens that there is no loader
ship and the party is powerless to make
Roadway against the Force of its own
numbers. This is an oddly interesting
situation in which the Republicans of
the country are understood to find great
and growing comfort.
Emperor William and his Toilcrs.
a riotous demonstration at his castle
gate is the response of the German So
cialists to Emperor Williams alleged
desire to do something to improve the
condition OF the wage-earners OF his
great empire. Perhaps they do not be-
lieve him sincere. Perhaps they are
against tho government on general
principles.
At all events they reject the young
emperor's overtures and in effect aid
the aristocratic party in its efforts to
tie the emperor's hands. This is not
the intent but it is the effect.
1t is the misfortune OF monarch in
these days to be suspected when he pro-
poses omething for the masses, who
cannot understand how person SO lar
away from them, being out OF touch
with them can honestly desire to bene-
fit them in any way. s
The idea OF the German masses seems
to be that the emperor reveals his real
self when he tells his soldiers that they
belong to him body and soul and must
shoot down father or brother at his
command. The doctrine OF absolute
ownership suggests serviie state
which is rcpugnant to the Teutonic
mind.
