FEARED PERRY'S VENGEANCE.
His Escape Caused Alarm at Lyons, N. Y.,
 Among Railroad Employees.

Ills FScape caused Alarm at Lyons, N. 4.p
 Among Railroad Employees.
 LYONS, N. Y., Oct. 24.-The news that Oliver Curtis Perry had escaped from Auburn prison created not only excite ment here, the scene of his notorious acts of last winter, but genuine alarm, espec- tally among those who had anything to do with the capture and trial of the des- perado.
 After Perry was captured, and fre- quently during his incarceration, he made threats that he would sooner or later "do" the men who had been instru- mental in bringing him to justice.
 The especial object of his hatred was Deputy Sheriff Collins, who forced him to surrender, and Perry made no bones of talking of the revenge he intended to have upon the official.
 The employees at the New York Central railroad station, and in fact, nearly every one who had in any way been connected with his being landed behind the bars, came in for a share of the train robbers denunciation. He promised each and every one a dose of cold lead if he ever got out-and he said he would in short order.
 These threats of Perry were at once recalled when the news of his escape was received by those against whom they were directed, and there was a decided feeling of anxiety that the desperado would come back to make his words good. Collins didn't appear at all scared, but the news filled the employees at the railroad stations and in the big yards here with unpleasant apprehension. Little knots of men gathered here and there, the escape was discussed, and the stirring scenes in which Perry figured 1as winter were retold
 The mere mention of Perry's name was enough to cause a shiver to run through these assemblages. Most of the men a once armed themselves in anticipation ol the robbers reappearance in this sectio on

A FRACTIONAL FIGHT.
The Duss End of the Economy Society Want
to Elect Employees as Members.

The Duss End of the Economy Society Want
to Elect Employees as Members.
There is still an undercurrent of dis
satisfaction existing in the usually quiet
hamlet of Economy. Since the publicity of
DIR. CYRUS Teedfs ideas and intentions as
the self-constituted Koresh, or Messiah, the
good and faithful Economics have not
gone to bed and slept peacefully over his
actions while in their little village. Trus-
tee j. ohm Duss and DR.. Teed's relations
have been questioned, and it has repeatedly
been asserted that they meant no good to
the Economic Society.
As was published by numerous papers,
there are two factions in Economy. John
Duss is a comparative stranger, and it is
said he is not as popular as some of the
older members Of the society who have
been mentioned as successors of Father
Henrici as Senior Trustee. John Fishern
is one of these spoken of prominently. He
is lineal descendant of the original Econo-
mites, and is particularly well liked among
the older heads.
There has been for some time past q num-
Der OF hired hands employed by the society.
They are only connected with the latter as
employees, but it is now said by one of the
old members that Trustee Duss hopes to get
these people into the society. They are
his friends and will work for his interests
The election of new members will take
place in couple of days, and bitter fac
tional fight is promised. John Fishern is
seriously i'll and confined at the Allegheny
General Hospital. His influence among q
certain end Of the society has great weight,
and his absence will be felt.

TWO MEN BADLY HURT.

C. & P. Train Runs Into a p. A. M.
Electric Car-Ths Other Passengers
Escaped Without Iniury--Great Excite
ment Among the Strikers.
At 4:30 Yesterday afternoon an accident
of very serious nature happened on the
P. A. & NJ. electric line. Two people were
injured and a number of others badly
frightened. At the time car No. 10Y, of the
Woods Run division, was passing down Is
land avenue, and as the car was crossing the
IS P. tracks shifting engine was backing
some cars down. The motorman of the
electric car failed to notice the approach of
the train, and collision occurred. The
front car of the train struck the electric car
about the center, and turned it almost at
right angle. The side of the car was caved
in and otherwise wrecked. j. p. Silliman,
of 1853 Franklin street, who was 3 passenger,
was badly injured about the back and face.
Frank McGlerry, another passenger, was
also seriously injured about the body. Both
men were removed to their homes in the
patrol wagon and physicians called.
At the time of the accident there were
dozen passengers in the car, many of whom
were women, and they were badly fright
ened, though they fortunately escaped with
out injury The accident caused great
deal of excitement, which was intensified
by the feeling over the strike. A great
crowd of people rushed to the scene, and
cries of "Hang the motorman" were heard,
but officers were handy and no violence was
done. The strikers claim the motorman was
incompetent, and ran into the train.

Tho Cases That Are Now on Before the
County Board of Revision.
The County Commissioners, as the Board
of Revision, yesterday heard appeals from
the assessments made in Franklin, Fawn,
East Deer, Harmar and Alleppo. townships.
The average number of appeals were pre-
sented A, committee of property owners
from Franklin township made their appear
ance and presented a petition with long
list of signatures. They stated that their
township is so far from railroads and away
from the main highways that the property
values have decreased instead of increased.
In consequence they desired some reduc-
tion in the assessments. The assessors had
made slight increase in the total valua-
tions, to which the Board of Revision had
added 20 per cent more The board has not
yet given decision in the matter
The appeals from the other townships
were of an ordinary nature. In Alleppo
township the assessors returns were ac-
cepted, and no alterations made, as they
had increased the total valuations 4S per
cent. In Fawn township the assessors had
reduced the valuations one-half of one per
cent, but the Board of Revision made an
increase of 10 per cent. In East Deer town.
ship the assessors had made a raise of ~
per cent, to which the board added 20 per
cent, total increase of 24H per cent. In
Harmar township the assessors had in
creased 21S per cent, and the board added 15
per cent.
To-day appeals will be received from
Wilkins, Bethel, Kilbuck, Lower St. Clair

is LOTTIE MONROE DEAD?

Williamsburg People Believe She Is Still in
the Land Of the Living-A Southern
Lovers Ardent Letters-More Light on
mysterious Affair.
A romantic little story that has been in.
teresting many of the quiet inhabitants
OF Williamsburg for some time past runs
something in the following strain: Less
than year ago very handsome and stylish
young lady made her appearance in that
borough. She was so different looking from
all the other girls in the town that she at
tracted general attention, especially by her
very dashing costumes. No person know
where she came from or with whom she
lived. She made daily visits to the bor-
ough postoffice for mail addressed to "Miss
Lottie Monroe, Williamsburg, Pa" Some
times little girl about 10 years of age
called at the Office for Miss Monroe's mail
The postmaster on several occasions asked
the child where Miss Monroe lived, but re-
ceived evasive answers. Once she said she
Brushton, aud so on. Miss Monroe van
ished as quietly from Williamsburg as she ar
rived.
letter appeared in THE DISPATCH stating
that "Lottie Monroe and her brother Will,
two young people from Williamsburg, Pa,
were thrown from buggy by a runaway
horse and instantly killed while riding
over the Maine Mountains. The letter
was signed By a declared friend of the young
lady's. It gave minute description of her
appearance, and seemed to dwell anxiously
upon the fact that she was from Wilkins
burg. The next act in the drama was an
avalanche of letters from young man
named James Lagere upon the Williamsburg
postoffice and the police, dated from Ten
Mile Hill, South Carolina Someone had
sent him marked copy of the paper that
contained the account of Miss Monroe's
death. Mr.. Lagere said he was engaged to
be married to Miss Monroe, and that he
could not believe the story about her death.
He said he was sure that some of his
enemies had the article published in the
paper to blindfold him. In several of his
letters he said over and over again: 'Lottie
was very beautiful girl and had many ad-
mirers, but believe she was true to me, for
she used to write me such sweet letters
She was very anxious for a diamond en-
gagement ring, and was always writing to
know when could send it. She said she
would like to let her friends see she was
promised wife, and by that means she
she would be saved annoyances from other
young men,"
Il am poor man" he wrote, "but love
Lottie very much and 1 would do anything
to please her 1 contrived to save enough
money to buy the ring and send it to her.
never knew whether she received it, for I
have not heard from her since. Lottie's
relatives were very much opposed to me be-
cause I am poor man, and above all do
they dislike me because of my religion. L
am a Catholic and of French parentage."
The letters are all in the same strain-full
of love for and belief in "Lottie." and ex-
pressing the firm belief that somebody is
working against him." A letter that has
been received from brother of Mr.. Lagere's
states that he is beginning to sus-
pect that he was imposed upon, and that he
does not feel the loss of the girl as keenly
as at first.
