SUING FOR A SEPARATION.

A Daughter OF the Late Selma Dolaro
Anxious to Be Her Own Mistress.
NEW YORK, April 2a-[Special ]-Esther
Warburtop, formerly an actress with Henry
E. Dixey, and daughter of Selma Dolaro,
who died three years ago, has begun suit in
the Supreme Court for a separation, on the
ground of abandonment, from Barclay H.
Warburton, formerly on the Philadelphia
Evening Telegram, of which his father
Charles E. Warburton, is proprietor. She
alleges that she and Warburton were mar
ried by mutual agreement Nav 6, 1890, and
have no children, and that Warburton de-
serted her on December 10 last She says
she met Warburton while he was secretary
for Di1ey, "and the result of his display of
regard and affection for me eliminated in
our assuming marital relations.
Her story is when she threatened to leave
him unless there was marriage ceremony
between them, he begged her not to take
by virtue Of living together as man and
wife, and by his introduction of her as his
wife. His father, from whom he had re-
ceived large remittances, would cut him off
if there was ceremonial marriage.
Subsequently he told her he had been in
vited to act as usher at the wedding of Gen
eral E. Burd Grubb, Minister to Spain.
He accordingly went to Europe On his
return she learned that he had given din
ner party at Philadelphia to Miss Tyson.
She became incensed and sent him his
trunks. Their relations then ceased, and
she brought the present action. She says
that while they were living together as man
and wife their expenses had ranged from
800 to $3.50 a week. 1t is understood that
his answer, which has not been served, will
deny the marriage.

projected by capitalists of this city for the
purpose of bringing the coal, iron and
silver of the White Oaks district to Ell
Paso. The road also passes through the
finest farming section Of New Mexico.
The road was completed from this point,
ten miles toward White Oaks, where build

Charles Davis was appointed receiver

Of this road as part of their through line,
but when Gould offered Receiver Davis q
check for $50, 900 he closed the trade at once.

idly as possible. From White Oaks the
line will be extended to Washburn,.

Reports Show How 1t Has Been Fostered
By the Mckinley Tariff-The Manufact-
urers Hope the Law Win Be Continued
in Force Forever.
WASHINGTON, April 28-Mr Ira Aver,
special agent of the Treasury Department,
has, pursuant to inst ructions, submitted to
Secretary Foster an exhaustive report of
the tin plate business of the country, the
manufacture of tin plate, and the growth of
the industry. Mr. Ayers report makes the
following showing:
Quarter ended September 80 1891, five
manufacturers reported: Tin plates, 152, 4s9
pounds; terne plates. GLASS; pounds s-total,
Quarter ended December 81, IL manu-
facturers reported: Tin plates, 1891
pounds; terne plates, l,lsS,sl0 pounds-total,
LAOS, S2l pounds.
Quarter ended March 81, 1892. 10 manufact-
urers reported: Tin plates, l,es9,6o5 pounds;
terne plates, 1901, ,43l pounds-total, 1904, ,OS4
These figures did not include the produc-
tion of sheet iron or sheet steel used in the
manufacture of articles timed or terne
plates, estimated at 100000 pounds
Mr.. Aver figures that the American man.
ufacturer, in order to maintain the duty on
tin plates after October l, 1897, must pro-
duce in one of the six years ending at that
date 100000 pounds of tin and terne
plates, weighing lighter that $50 pounds to
the square foot. Mr.. Aver says the indica-
tions are that under existing conditions, the
production of the country before the close
of the second fiscal year will be in excess of
an annual rate of 200, 600, 900 pounds.
Accompanying the report are a large
number Of letters from manufacturers, Civ
ing descriptions of their plants and pros

KEYSTONE BANK INVESTIGATION

Resumed at Washington and a Little Testi.
mony of Importance Elicited.
WASHINGTON, April 2S-The keystone
National Bank investigation was resumed
to-day by the House Committee on Banking
and Currency and Comptroller Lacey was
examined. The first criticism of the man.
agement of the Keystone National Bank
after witness assumed Office was in the ex-
aminer's report made November 10, 1889,
calling attention to three items in the
loans-one to John Wanamaker for $50, 900;
another to H. F. Jones, for John Wana-
maker, for 900, and the third to Green
vile Haines, President of the bank, for
$56, 900, and making the objection that at this
time the lawful money reserve was S5S, 900
below the legal requirements. There was
nothing exceptional about this criticism,
nearly every examination of bank devel-
oping something for criticism. 1t was not
until about July, 1890, that witness atten-
tion was called to anything exceptional or
bank, and to the fact that the bank was in
an unhealthy condition. Prior to the report
of January, 1891, there was nothing in the
examiners report to indicate an impairment
of the banks capital.
Mr.. Lacey read letter he wrote to the
bank July %, 1890, calling attention to ir-
regular and improper proceedings in the
management of the bank, and to the fact
that Mr.. Wanamaker's loans were $500, 900
and the Lucas estate s57 900, while the law
full reserve was too small. The reply of
President Marsh, explaining the matters
complained of, and stating that Mr. Wana-
makers loan had been greatly reduced and
would be still further reduced, was then put
in evidence

the Water Is Very High.
NEW ORLEANS, April 2S-[Special J.
The Mississippi continues to rise here and
is now within foot of the highest point
ever known. So far the only danger points
are on Bayou Lafourche and below New
Orleans. No less than four breaks or crew
asses have occurred on the Lafourche, two
of which are more or less serious, the others
being small breaks or holes that were at
once closed bv the planters of the
nelghborhood. The big breaks are At
Leblanc's and near Napoleonville. The
Leblanc crevasse occurred in the dav, but
came with such suddenness and force that it
carried away 80 feet of levee at once, sweep
ing away a school in its path, the children
escaping with difficulty. 1t will iniure
number of plantations in the vicinity. The
muskrats are doing a great deal of harm to
the levees throughout the Lafourche dis
trict.
On the Mississippi a break is reported at
St. Stophie, in Plaquemine's parish, about
80 miles below New Orleans. The situation
is not so alarming, but there is some appre-
hension, and in Concordia parish the police
jury has appealed to the Federal Govern.
ment to grant aid in holding the line of
the levee there. The general view by ex-
perts is that while there will be very high
water, there is no danger of serious over.

IT WAS A HOLOCAUST.

The Bodies OF Six Theatrical People Found

PHILADELPHIA, April 2S.-The disas-
trous fire which destroyed the Central
Theater, the Times annex and other valuable
property Wednesday night, has turned out
holocaust, and at least six persons are
known to have perished in the fames or
met death BY being crushed by the falling
walls The victims are:
VIII LIAM L. Brooks, aged Al years; THOMAS

aged %; Miss FANOHoN CoNYERs, aged 20;
Miss VINoENoIA CH1TTEN, aged 20: Miss
SARA GOLDMAN, aged II. Three others are
missing.
All six who lost their lives were
members of the Devils Auction" COM
pany, and they were reported missing by
their colleagues in the combination shortly
after the fire was gotten under control.
The uncertainty that surrounded their fate
was practically removed this morning
when no traces of any of them could be

conclusion that their bodies lay beneath
the debris under the stage of the devastated
theater building. There is still some ques-
tion whether or not other bodies are also
buried under the ruins, and as soon as pos
sible an investigation will be made to as
certain if any Of the audience were killed
while endeavoring to escape from the
flames
Mr.. Lorella was seen to come out of the
theater by the narrow alleyway leading
from the stage to Walnut street. Upon
reaching the street he found that his wife
was still in the building and he rushed back
to rescue her and perished. Miss Chonchan-
cita Chitten said tonight that she saw her
sister Miss Vincencia on the street after the
fire had started, and she is positive the
young lady ran back to recover jewelry

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArCH.l
WASHINGTON, April %. Theodore
Roosevelt promises that when he takes the
Committee he will give Postmaster General
Wanamaker as lively shaking up as he
ever gave Editor Frank Hatton, of the
Washington Post, during their quarrel of q
year or two ago.
Mr.. Wanamaker made q very sorry ex-
hibition Of himself as a civil service re-
former when he testified, . few days ago,
and practically stated that he thought
Commissioner Roosevelt had not told the
truth in reporting that the officials of the
Baltimore postofice had violated the law by
interfering in politics. Mr.. Roosevelt's re-
port said they were guilty, and the report
which Mr. Wanamaker's postofflce in
spectors made said they we're innocent-so
Honest John pigeonholed both reports,
and 1t is about this official action that Mr..
Roosevelt will have something to say when
he goes upon the stand before the COM
mittee.
The committee has very fine chance to
show up the civil service law as admins
tered by Messrs. Harrison and Wanamaker,
put us members Qont seem TO De making
the most of their opportunities. The Chair
man of the committee is very nice young
Mugwump from Massachusetts, Mr.. John
F. Andrew. He is q man who likes to be
polite and suave at all times, and at the
meetings of the committee he seems to be
very much afraid of offending somebody
should he ask any leading questions, so he
does not ask them. Before the committee
was appointed Mr.. Andrew, who introduced
the resolution providing Tor the investiga-
tion, had a very vigorous policy, and talked
emphatically about what he would be able
to show when they once got Wanamaker
under oath. He had good chance at the
Postmaster General the other day, but he
let it slip.
Mr. Wanamaker's voluntary state
ment shows him to be very pc.
culiar specimen of civil service re-
former in practice, no matter what
he is in theory. Chairman Andrew,
however, did not ask any of his pointed
questions, but on the other hand, treated
the Postmaster General with the utmost
consideration. There has been consider
able criticism OF Mr.. Andrews course in
this regard, both by Republicans and DEM
ocrats, and perhaps the young Massachu-
sets statesman will do better at the next
meeting of the committee.

Woven So Strong That 1t Convicted a
Philadelphia Negro of Murder.
PHILADELPHIA, April 2S.- Henry
Davis, the colored steward of soci al club,
was tonight found guilty of murder in the
first degree, having killed Job Hass, coal
dealer at Germantown, near this city, Au-
gust 13. Hass, who always went to his
office early in the morning, was found by a
flagman lying there dead with his head bat
tered in.
The evidence against Davis was entirely
circumstantial The dead man carried a
large sum of money about him, and the
negro was unaccountably well supplied with
cash just after the murder. The hatchet
with which Hass was killed was found some
distance away in field which Davis had
been seen leaving on the murder. Foot
prints were also traced from the scene
of the crime to the street on which the
murderer lived, and his shoes were found to
fit these tracks exactly. Microscopical ex-
animation also showed human blood on the
colored mans clothes which he had changed
after the murder. Sentence will be pro-
nounced tomorrow.

In speaking of Blaine Mr. Depew said:
mo Presidency can honor him more than

The tumult that then broke loose was be-
yond restraint for many moments Then
came cries for j. Sloat Fassett, who at
tempted to respond from his place on the
floor, but was forced to the stage, where he
made brief speech, saying the same "big
four" that represented New York four
years ago would do so again this year.
Platform Points in Paragraph.
Following the address of Mr. Fassett, the
platform was read by the chairman of the
committee on resolutions Its principal
points are at follows: President Harri-
sons administration is highly extolled !;
the Mckinley tariff is upheld and its con-
tinuance demanded reciprocity has good
word Blaine is praised I; Republican Con-
gressmen are commended for killing the
free silver bill; oppression of colored
voters in the South is deprecated; the
New York Democracy is arraigned for its
reapportionment, which is declared unfair;
Judge Maynard's whitewash is denounced;
David B. Hill is particularly blamed for
all the wickedness of New York Demo-
Gratis, and the Republican party is declared
the only organization free from the con-
troll of the principals and accessories of
these crimes, and through it alone can the
wrongs perpetrated be corrected and pun
ished and their repetition be prevented"
The Committee on Electors reported the
names of Senator Frank Hiscock, Thomas
G. Plat, Chauncy NJ. Depew and Warner

that the State Committee be empowered to
select an additional member of that COM
mittee who shall represent the Afro-Ameri-
can citizens of the State Adopted. The
convention then adjourned.

The committee has decided to report Mr..

ings, and, in fact, all other proceedings
which have marked the course of the Rock

ST. LOUIS, April 2a.-tSpecsol ] - The
Missouri Republicans to-day, at the Jeffer-
son City Convention, nominated ex-Con.
gresham William Warner, of Kansas City,
for Governor, by reclamation, thus putting
another nail in the political coffin of
Chauncey L Filley, the "hoodlum" boss.
The platform adopted instructs the dele
gates to vote for Harrison, indorses the ad-
ministration and Blaine's foreign policy;
the tariff legislation of the Fifty-second
Congress; favors an International monetary
system as the only safe solution of the silver
question; the prohibition of trusts and
monopolies; the taxation of corporations on
the same basis as individuals, and denounces
the Congressional redistricting work Of the
Democratic Legislature.
An anti-Filley State Committee was
elected. The enthusiasm when Warner was
nominated was remarkable For fully an
hour the delegates cheered, bands played,
and outside of the Capitol building the old
Mexican cannon thundered. Warner says
he will be the next Governor of Missouri.
