HERsEY's TRICKS.
congressman Relieved Of Blame
For His DOinGs

For HIS DOInES.
WASHINGTON, April s.-The testi-
mony submitted by Commissioner Raum
yesterday before the special pension
investigating committee of the house,
in regard to S. r. Hersey's action in
selling information obtained from the
pension office. by reason OF his having
access to the files through his
position as private secretary to
several congressman. had the
effect of bringing Representative
Br0okshire, of Indiana, and Represent
alive Gantz. of Ohio, the two members
who employed Hersey to do work for
them, before the committee this morn
ing to explain their connection with
Jersey in employing him to call ND the
pension claims. Mr.. BrOOkshire said
Hersey had been hired to attend to his
pension business. He had perfect con-
fidence in his integrity, and if abuse of
privilege had occurred by Jersey he
had never heard of it.
Mr.. GantZ said that Mr.. BrOokshire'S
statement was about what he desired to
make, but he had no knowledge that
Hersey received compensation from any
other person than himself. He had no
knowledge that Hersey violated the
privileges of his position.
Hersey being called as a witness, said
he had been employed by Representa-
tive Durburrow, of Illinois; Perkins, of
Iowa; BrOokshire and Struble, but he
had no understanding that he was to
receive pay from others than those who
employed him. He regarded this en-
ployment as honorable. The members
OF congress who employed him did not
know that he was receiving pay from
attorneys. He named two private sec
retaries to congressman who were en-
gagged in the same business.

for time, and at IL o'clock was about
S25sc. All this time Partridge had been
an intermittent seller, and it was being
asked in the crowd what the market
would do If he started to buy. They
had a slight indication or the probable
answer TO that query when, upon the
appearance of few buying orders SIM
nltaDeously in the hands of three or
four commission houses,

S4% cents. 1t was merely suspected
that Partridge was the source of these
orders, and that was enough to start the
blaze. The greatest bulge of the day
was made shortly before the close, when
there was some remarkable buying,
which the trade again attributed to Par
bridge trying to cover. This caused the
widest scene OF all, and the May price
went from S31l to S4a4 cents in a few
minutes. Some realizing put the price
OF May at S4a5 cents at the close OF the
regular session. only to be followed by
subsequent big advance OH the curb.
BY long odds the day in wheat was
probably the hardest that Partridge
ever had to face. He got taste OF
what was coming late yesterday, when
it is SAID lie was called for margins ON
100000 bushels sold around so cents.
He fought the advance today up to the
last hour, but not with such round lots
as he gave the trade on previous days.
1t was believed nearly unanimously
that he weakened and tried to cover
through unknown houses shortly before
o'clock. 1t was this belief that sent
the price to S424c, the high point on the
regular board.

HUNTING "RUsTLERs.s'
Montana and Wyoming Posses
Killing on Sight.

HELENA, Mont, April s.-The first
results of the war looking to the exfer-s
mination of horse thieves in Eastern
Montana and Wyoming came to light
yesterday, when the body of man was
found on Alkali creek. about ten miles
from Billings. He had been shot
through the body and had been dead
several days. The man is supposed ito
be Wyoming rustler en- route to Can

FOUR LIVES FOR ONE.
Polish Anarchists Wiped Out for
Bold Crime.

BERLIN, April S.-A remarkable story
comes from Koscioleg, village in the
province of Posen. DR.. Ponipsky, a
high Polish eccleSaStic, was sitting in
room when the four assassins appeared
at the house and requested to see him.
They were ushered into the presence Of
the aged doctor, and handed him a red
card on which was printed command,
signed by the committee of Polish an
archists," calling upon him to surrender
all the money he had in his possession
for the benefit of the anarchists. The
card stated that if he refused to obey
the command he would be killed. DR..
Peninsky had entrusted to him large
sums of money,and was terribly startled
at the import of the message handed to
him. He ran to window and jumped
to the garden, but before he. could
reach place of safety the anarchists
poured volley of bullets into his body
and he fell dead. The assassins fled,
but the alarm was given and they were
soon overtaken by plrsuers, who fired
a volley into the group; and one of the
murderers fell dead. Another, seeing
that all hope of escape was cut off.
turned his weapon against himself and
blew out his brains. A second volfey
killed the third man, and then the
fourth man, rather than surrender, shot
and killed himself.

Be Found.

Prices.
An Important Decision in Fa-
vop Of the Northern
Pacific.

WAUPACA, Wis, April Sat last
four arrests have been made in the Mead
murder case, upon indictments returned
by the grand jury when it finished its
investigation a week ago. The men
under arrest are Assemblyman Alfred
r. Lea, Samuel Stout, Alfred Pail and
David Holmes, all of this city. Stout is
charged with being principal in the
murder, and Lea, Pail and Holmes as
accessories, Lea being charged with
being an accessory after the fact, and
having knowledge of the crime since
Nov. 90, 1890.
Mr.. Lea was accused of the crime and
in an amended answer to his suit for
SANDER against Ed Gordon, of Chicago,
but formerly editor of the Waupaca
Post, about three weeks ago, so his in
dictment was not great surprise,
though the date from which time he is
charged with being an accessory is sur
prising to all. 1t is supposed, therefore,
that the state has evidence to prove
that Lea became cognzant of the affair
at that time. Lea and the Office rs,
accompanied by many friends, went to
Stevens Point tonight to 60 before
Judge Webb and give bail; He was
not taken into custody or placed in Jail,
arrest, and given his freedom so he
could get his bondsmen ready. He was
admitted TO bail. Mayor Shearer, Ii. j.
Stetson, Richard Lea and another we'll
known business man going Oh his bond.
oo Me- Vuro.x..nI
Mr.. Lea does not seem at all worried
about the matter, and states that he
will be cleared at the trial. ,StouJ's
name has been frequently mentioned in
connection with the case. He was a
Saioohkeeper at the time of the murder,
and 1t is said has told one Collier, who
was witness before the grand jury,
that he was implicated III the murder.
He is married man about fifty years
old, and has several children. He is a
brother of Aid. Elect Frank Stout.
The arrest of David Holmes was the
surprise of the day, as his name has
never been mentioned in connection
with the affair. He was working in the
wooden factory at the time of the muir
der in 1882, and since then has been
policeman, bartender and was running
saloon when arrested. No one knows
what his connection with the case is.
Poll was liverymap at the time of
the murder and was recently appointed
deputy game warden. When in his
cups he has intimated that he knew
something which would make him rich
some day. His wife secured a divorce
from him Wednesday Oh the ground OF
non-support. The men under arrest
will probably be tried at the next term
of court in October. There is general
feeling of satisfaction that the grand
jury has accomplished something
toward clearing up the mystery.

his own state NincOln) was rival COM
petitor. and Mr.. Frye somewhat largely
commented upon the Nebraska senator's
position of refusing to aid Washington,
because Lincoln, Neb., did not get the
encampment.
Mr.. Hawley, of Connecticut, drew a
graphic picture of the Grand Army OF
the Republic, many of whose members
had never been in Washington since
they marched in to its defense in the
troublous times of the war, and many of
whom, i'm the natural course OF events,
would never see the capitol again after
next encampment, and urged the pass
age OF the appropriation.
Mr.. Palmer. of Illinois, said he could,
with his views of the constitution, as
readily vote for imposing the burden
upon the country as upon the district.

that this simple resolution 10 have the
expenses of the entertainment paid by
the city which had extended the Invita-
ton would have afforded stage setting
for all the presidential aspirants in the
senate to exhibit themselves upon.
After further discussion Mr.. Cock
rell's amendment to impose the cost
upon the district was voted down, II to
80. Mr.. Hawley's amendment to give
the secretary of war control over the
expenditure was adopted, as was also
an amen dment by Mr.. Quay to confine
the appropriation to subsistence and
quarters.
The amendment as finally adopted
apprOpriates 500. 200 for the subsistence
and quarters of honorably discharged
soldiers and sailors. This was passed
by Il vote OF Al to 10.
MIR. Mcmillan offered two resolutions.
the first reciting that the shiDbuilding
interests of the Northwest now exceed
ed those of any other section of the
country, and calling upon the secretary
of the navy for information as 10
whether the sliipbuilders of that region
had been denied the privilege of bid
