Brazilian Army Officers in Trouble for
Signing a Manifesto-It Condemns the
Deposition of Governors and Com
mands the Fallen Dictatorship-New
Election Wanted.
RIO JANEIRo, April "a document,
signed by 13 superior army officers. which
was recently put in circulation here, has
caused considerable comment in official cir
cles. In this document the deposition of
several Governors of provinces was Sc
rerely censured, the dictatorship assumed
BY General da Fonseca was highly COM
mended and an immediate Presidential cleo
ton was strongly requested. The Govern
r1ent has taken action in the matter, and,
after a thorough consideration, has de-
cided that the army officers whose sigma
lures are affixed TO the document have, in
the composition and subsequent circulation
of the paper in question, arrogated to
themselves power belonging only to
properly constituted authorities, and have
committed grave breach of discipline
The Government has ordered that all be
dismissed from the service.
1t is only a few DAYS ago that a number of
officers here signed petition, urging upon
the Vice President the adyisability of an i'm
mediate Presidential election. The Vice
President thereupon issued manifesto pro-
testing against this action of the officers, and
they, too, jere punished for interfering
in political matters, the entire number be-
ing placed on the retired list.
The garrisons everywhere throughout the
Republic remain loyal to the existing Gov
eminent.

WONDERFUL START OFF.
Over One.Fifth OF tho Lots at Aliquippa
Reserved in Three Days.

Over one.Fifth of tho Lots at Aliquippa
Reserved in Three Days.
The wonderful confidence the new town
of Aliquippa has gained with the people can
be no better demonstrated than by the
evidence of the intense interest taken in
the prospects of the new town. Although
the plan of lots has been advertised for less
than three weeks, and no lots are to be sold
until the day of tho sale, April IA, the de-
mand became SO strong that the company
broke over their rule last week so far as to
allow the public to choose their
lots, which are held in reservation
for them until the day of sale, when
they will be sold. If not claimed, at the COM
pany's office. on April IA. In the past three
days 125 lots have been SO reserved, or one
fifth of the whole number In the plan. A
visit to the office has convinced them that
the new town lacks all suspicion OF specula-
tion, and that at the prices set by the COM
pany the lots are gilt edged investment,
either as place of location, or to turn over
at profit. The AliQuippa Steel Company,
to avoid the tricks of sharpers at public
sales, have decided to designate their sales
men at the sale by badge. Everyone can
secure q price list of lots, either at the sale
or by applying at the Office, Room 80 West
inghouse building, SO that they may go to
the sale secure from the possibility of having
any advantage taken OF them. Plans tor a
new 45room hotel are now being prepared.
Another factory, employing Omen, is nego-
tiating for factory site with every pros.
pect of locating Aliquippa offers a safer,
surer, more honest investment for your
money than any other. Investigate it.

PARDRIDGE A NAPOLEON.
HE DOWNS THE BULL COALITION TO
THE EXTENT OF CENTS,

Everything Works Against the Great Spec
uIator, but Still He Comes Out on Top
He Declares He Has Not Lost Nickel
One Failure.
CHICAGO, April "A bolder plunge was
probably never witnessed in the Chicago
wheat trade than that made by Edward
Partridge to-day. Last night, with the
stimulated short sales of 10000, 600 chalked
up against him, and with the quotations
shooting skyward, the odd little speculator
was believed to be about ready to throw up
his hands in despair. Partridge was again
a conqueror. A regiment Of brokers at his
orders had dashed into the pit at the very
outset of the day and fought his enemies to
q standstill.
Before the day ended he pulled down the
price over cents bushel from the highest
point reached The close was within E
cent of the lowest price of the day. Pard-
ridge, in person, was on the floor bright and
early. The galleries and pits were crowded
to suffocation in expectation of seeing
cyclone, when, losing his nerve, he should
attempt to buy instead of sell.
The noted plunger was earnestly rushing
from one friend to another and making his
remarks jerky and emphatic, put that was
all the emotion he displayed. He wore a
dark. natty frock coat and light spring
trousers, and small, black derby jauntily
poised on the back of his head gave him
crisp business air. His keen, gray eyes
were now fully alive to what was going on.
Now and then his friends would eagerly
swarm around him to ask how things were
going, but Partridge was too busy rushing
from pit to pit to talk with them long. and
would vouchsafe few hurrird words and
tear himself away. He denied that he had
lost or would lose a nickel and declared,
'When / lose, lose for keeps; but 1 am
not worrying about loss just now. I'm
feeling all right" And with that he again
dove for the pit. When approached at an
other opportunity, he emphatically asserted
that nothing could drive him to cover un-
less the market went to 81 bushel
The days trade was spasmodic, and at
times the market was very excited. Far
from showing evidence of weakening, Pard-
ridge was bustling about denouncing the
scare as idiotic, and had his brokers selling
necessarily. The price did not appear to
make any difference, as all spots seemed
good selling spots for him. There was a
good deal of realizing on long wheat, but
these offerings, with those by Partridge,
were readily absorbed.
1t was reported that George Haines, who
traded in a small way, had failed. The
bears remarked that the bulls went cunning
for Partridge and caught Haines A Pard-
ridge broker retorred that this was better
than they usually did, as they have been
cunning for Partridge and caught the
deuce

Snowden, the Roller Skater, Wins tho Big
London Match.
LONDON, April 9.-The si1-day (72
hours) go-as-you-please roller-skating race,
which began Monday last at the Central
Hall, Holborn, was finished this even
ing amid intense excitement. The con-
test resulted in a victory to Snowden, the
American champion. The race was highly
interesting, the position which the different
skaters took on the first day being main
tanned throughout the week. The race was
tor the six-day worlds championship belt
and purse of e375, divided into six prizes.
Among the entries are a number of Ameri-
can skaters: Snowden, Halberte, A. Buck
hurst and White, of Boston, and Mcdowell,
of Syracuse.
The score at the finish: Snowden, cham
pion of America, 804 miles; Scsiven, cham
pion of London, 776 miles; Mearns, cham
pion of England, 75O, and Curtis, Of Eng
land, 375
The heat which prevailed to-day prevent
ed the men from making fast time, but there
were many fine spurts, and a number of rec
ords were broken. Of the 15 starters only
seven remained to the finish. The starter
was Sir John Ashley. Sir John heartily
congratulated Snowden on his victory at the
conclusion Of the race tonight amid loud
and prolonged cheers for America by the

THE NATIONAL BATHHOUsE.
Gossip From the Famous Winter Resor,

Gossip From the Famous Winter Resort.
Hot SPRINGS, ARK, April 9.-[Spe-
cial. ION the west side of the mountain
from which flows the almost boiling water
is small building which is almost hidden
from view by the many lighthouses on the
reservation. It is a common brick struc-
ture made of the cheapest material. 1t has
anything but an inviting appearance. The
grounds leading to it are in horrible condi-
tion, and on rainy days the mudroad is IN
such shape that the unfortunates who are
compelled to use the healing waters can
hardly climb the steep path. A movement
is crystallizing to petition the Government
to furnish more and better accommodations
for the INDECENT sufferers.
In striking contrast is the magnificent
Government hospital, costing nearly half q
million, with but Sc occupants.
The hospital is magnificent affair with
beautiful marble bath rooms and nickel
plated trimmings
Nearly every visitor to this resort for his
health consults physician, and the very
first thing he asks is, ''Do you use tobacco?'
Nine out of ten reply yes, and he is imme-
diately advised to stop smoking and chew
ing at once. In speaking of the matter a
well-known physician said persons taking
baths should not use tobacco in any form,
as 1t produced nervousness and makes the
user dyspeptic. 1t is hard matter, how
ever, for old tobacco users to break off i'm
mediately, so they 'sneak" a chew or a
smoke and then tell the doctor that they
have not seen tobacco in any shape, but the
doctor in a moment can tell different by
feeling the pulse, which is not normal,
owing to the vast amount OF nicotine in
the highly-f1avored cigars and tobacco. But
the inveterate smoker and chewer has dis
covered way of battling the skill of the
physicians by chewing and smoking moth
ing but West Virginia Mail Pouch Tobacco.
Mail Pouch is prepared by an original
process known only to the Blocn Brothers,
the manufacturers. No chemicals are used,
and by the method of preparation fully one
third of the nicotine is neutralized. The
result is, all the tobacco users here for their
health are using Mail Pouch. More of it is
sold in Hot Springs to-day than any other
tobacco-and the physicians know why.
Sullivan is expected to arrive here on the
24th., to 60 into training for his fight with
Corbett.

MRS. M'CURDY's STORY
OF the Suicide and Murder Committed by
Her Jealous Husband.

Oh the suicide and Murder Committed by
Her Jealous Husband.
CANTON, April 9-[Specia.. 1.-The Cor
oner to-day held an investigation of the
killing of L. 7. Waltenbaugh by John Nc
Curdy and the suicide OF the latter yester-
day afternoon. Mrs. McCurdy's story
does not materially differ from
that printed yesterday, except that
she says the first shot was fired at Walten-
baugh while he was sitting in the chair by
the front door, instead of through the win
dow of the bedroom and parlor. She de-
nies having been unduly intimate with
Waltenbaugh, but said she could not say
her husband had no cause for being jealous,
and that he was naturally of jealous dis
position.
She says her husband first appeared at
the window of the bedroom and said, 'I
want both of you to come out" Shortly
afterward he appeared in the front room.
The first thing he said was, "Now, want
both of you to sit down" He told her to
sit on certain chair and Waltenhaugh to
sit on chair close to the kitchen door.
He said, "Mary, don't move from that chair
or will shoot you. am going to put an
end to this. I am going to shoot myself"
1t was then she says that the first shot was
fired at Waltenbaugh, who fell off the chair.
1t would appear from the surroundings that
the first shot was fired through the window
in the bedroom leading into the parlor.

ROMANCE OF A GENIUS.
UPS AND DOWNS OF THE INVENTOR
OF PHOTO-ENGRAvING.

For Eight Years He and His Wife Fought
With Poverty Because His Great Secret
Wasn't Apprecisted-Their First job
Brought Forty Dollars-His Death.
NEW YORK, April 9.-lSpeeiaL John
Calvin Moss, who died yesterday at his
home in Brooklyn, at the age of 56, was no.
table as the inventor of the first practical
photo-engraving process He was born in
Washington county, Pa, in 1885, EARLY
in life he learned the printers trade. He
thought he had chance as an artist because
of talent he had for drawing and painting,
and he therefore devoted good deal OF
time to the study of fine arts. He did not
take kindly to painting and became a pho
tographer. in which occupation he got suf-
ficient support to enable him to experiment
in Photographic chemistry.
At 20 years he had learned Of the ex.
pertinent made by Nicophorus Niepce, and
also of the attempts made by Prof Grove
to etch on o daguerrean plate by means of
electricity. He had faith in the idea of
Prof Grove, and made a galvanic battery
and set to work. His wife had worked
with him in such a way that. as Mr.. Moss
said. success without her would have been
hardly possible.
Their first order was for q printing plate
which, if satisfactory was to bring them
$40. Encouraged by this success they went
to New York in 1868 and struggled along
for eight years, getting a few orders, but
encountering suspicion and timidity and
active opposition from the wood engravers,
who thought the new process would destroy
their livelihood. In 1872, with the aid of a
clergyman he established the Photo Engrav-
ing Company, which was successful In
1880 Mr.. Moss lett this company and
formed the Moss Engraving Company. of
which he was the head. Before Moss made
his successful experiments, wood engraving,
etching and steel engraving were the then
methods of reproduction for illustrating
magazines and the like.

A HILL FARM VICTIM
Discovered in the Fated Coal Mine
Yesterday and Boxed Up.
HOW THE STORY WAS DIVULGED.
Mrs McCurdy Narrates on the Stand the
Canton Tragedy.
NEWSI NOTES FROM NEARBY TOWNS
,sprc1A1 TELEGRAM TO THE prspArcH,1

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
UNIoNTowN, April 9-Nearly every
body in Dunbar believes that at least one
more of the Hill Farm mine victims has
been recovered, and it is rumored that four
of the six bodies have been found. THE
DISPATCH correspondent has it from the
most reliable authority that one body has
been found, and only one. This body, my
informant states, was found by Mine Boss
Doran and his assistants several days ago,
lying in the main slope. By the clothing
and the coal check in the pocket..it was
identified as that of Barney Maust.
The mine officials deny that any more
bodies have been found, but the people of
Dunbar, almost without exception, believe
that the body of Barney Maust is boxed
up in the mine pending the recovery of the
other bodies. This is how the story of the
find is said to have leaked out The mine
officials notified Maust's widow at Dunbar
of the finding of the body of her husband,
and said they would have the remains
placed in box and kept in the mine until
the other bodies were recovered. This
was to avoid any unnecessary excite
ment and delay. Mrs. Maust gave her
consent to this arrangement, and it
vas expected that the matter would be kept
secret. Mrs. Maust, however, found the
secret too heavy to bear alone, and she con-
fded it to several of her neighbors. two or
three of whom have husbands still hidden
in the depths of Hill Farm mine. In this
way the story spread.
The body of Maust was found in the main
slope not far from the fatal bore hole. 1t is
said to have been in the worst condition of
any of the bodies yet recovered. When the
men attempted to lift it the head rolled
away from the trunk, and the chastity sight
was almost too much for the courageous and
nervy men who have conducted the long
and trying search

A NIiller's Horrible Death.

GRETER's FORD, PA, April 9.-John
Zimmerman, proprietor of sawmill at
this place, met a horrible death
yesterday afternoon. He had gone to
the basement under the saw floor
when he was caught by the betting
leading from the main pulley, and drawn
into the pulley pit. The accident threw off
the belt and stopped the saws. His wife,
at work in her kitchen near the mill, sus-
pected some accident and summoned help.
Zimmerman was found wedged fast, and the
combined strength of seven men was re-
quired to turn the pulley back and extricate
the unconscious man. His left leg was
mashed to shapeless mass, the bones in his
other limbs were broken. and he died in an
hour
