THE PENNY PRoMpENr FUND.
A System For Small Savings Jus
 Established fin Waterbury,

System For Small Savings Just Established fin Waterbury.
 Within a few days a station. of the Penny Provident fund of New York city has been established in Waterbury. The New York enterprise is supported and carried on by the Hon Charles $. Fair child, ex-secretary of the United States treasury; the Honorable Abram s. Hewitt, ex-mayor of New York; Charles O.. Beaman, Esq, partner of William M. Evarts, and others. The purpose is to encourage people to save money in small amounts who would not be likely to save in large amounts. In. stead of entering the sum deposited in a book, a stamp which serves as a re- ceipt, is given to the depositor. The stamps are to be stuck to stamp card, there being spaces for 36 of them. There are seven kinds of stamps of different colors: 1, 3, 5, 10, 25, 90 cents, and $1, so that child or anyone, may save a few cents at a time-not necessarily more than one cent. When the card is full of stamps, or when dollars worth have been col- lected, the depositor may withdraw the amount for use by presenting the card at the place where he obtained the stamps or he may deposit the amount in savings bank so as to get interest. The nSaOQuarGeES or the WaC0rDuFy SGaGlOO is at A East Main street, room 8. Six sub stations have been established where stamps may be obtained and from which deposits may be withdrawn. They are: Cannon & Webster's drug store, 105 Bank street; Clark & Cannon's drug store, 900 Bank street, Brooklyn; South End drug store, 442 South Main street; Spencer & Pierpont's grocery store, 352 East Main street; Cannon's North End pharmacy, 40 North Main street; J. A. Edmundson's grocery store. 643 West Main street, West Side hill. It will be observed that one is in the center of the city and one out each of the principal streets leading from the center. The withdrawing of deposits from these stores is made practicable by the fact that B. G. Bryan of the Fourth National bank has consented to treat filled stamp cards as cash, sending them afterward to New York for redemption. School children, wage earners and others are invited to use this simple plan for saving money and to tell others about it.

SECRETARY BLAINE NOT ILL.
A RumOr to that Effect Created 8 Gres
 Stir Among the Politicians.

A ARumOr to that Effect Created 8 Great
 Stir Among the Politicians.
 WASHINGTON, June 3.-A rumor that MT. Blaine had been taken ill again startled the town during the morning, but on inquiry at the Secretary's house it was learned that the rumor was false.
 The story, which took all manner of shapes and spread in exaggerated form all over the city like wildfire, was made much of by the politicians while it lasted. It was said that he had suc- cumbed to the heat; that his digestion was upset again; that his nervous sys- tenn mad collapsed, and so forth.
 The effect of any physical breakdown in the Blaine boom at the present time would be of course disastrous, and the Harrison men were all agog over the story.
 Nothing has happened to-day to alter the situation. The Harrison men appear to feel quite at ease. and predict the Presidents renomination with renewed confidence. MT. Blaine's silence, which is the main reliance of his friends, is construed by many Harrison men as fa- vorable to their side of the question.
 They say that the fairest interpreta- tion of the silence is that the Secretary simply adheres to his February letter of declination, while the Blaine men con tinue to interpret it as a consent to ac- cept the nomination for President.
 Meanwhile the Secretary himself makes no statement whatever.

 PHILADELPHIA, June S.-The Peary re- lief party in charge of Prof. Heilprin will sail on the steamer Mirand from New York for St. John's, Newfoundland, on Saturday, June 90.
 The departure for North Greenland will be made on the Kite from St. Johns on July %. !,
 In addition to the years provisions to be left for Lieut.. Peary and his party, in case they are not found, or, if found, they determine not to return, there will be a considerable amount of special arti- cles of food taken by each member and many months' stores by the expedition itself.
 Independent of these provisions the Kite will be victualled by it's owners for eighteen months, so that in the event of the expedition being caught in the ice and prevented from returning until next year there will be absolutely no danger of starvation.
 In case the Kite should be nipped in the ice and losty & liberal proportion of food will be kept so stored that it may be quickly transferred to staunch boats provided in sufficient numbers.
 In event also of either of these misfor- tunes happening every member of the party is amply provided with clothing of c suitable character with which to pass an arctic winter or encounter the periIs and exposure in the escape in open boats to some white settlement in South Greenland. r1

MR. BLAINE NOT ILL, AS REPORTED.

Startling RumOr That President Harrison
 WiIl Withdraw, in Case the Secretary of Z State Remains siIent-views of the Lead
 CTS at the Flour City.
 MINNEAPOLIS, June S.-The contest for 9the Republican Presidential nomination has fairly begun, and this morning finds the two factions vigilant and aggressive and the dividing lines clearly drawn.
 Nearly hundred politicians of more or less prominence, from all parts of the country, are now on the ground, and Harrison and Blaine people have SO far acknowledged the chances of contest as to engage rival headquarters at the leading hotel.
 Gen. J. 5. Clarkson, Chairman of the National Committee, is recognized as the leader of the Blaine forces, and Con- sul-General New of Indiana, is in charge of the Harrison headquarters.
 sI think Blaine will be nominated on the first ballot, !" was the first political utterance of the distinguished Iowan on his arrival in this city.
 twill he accept the nomination, Gen. ClarksonS"
 1T never knew a man to refuse it.''
 "The Convention will last about three days, in my opinion," remarked MT. Clarkson. Continuing, he estimated that Blaine would have 8 strength of about 600, President Harrison half that number.
 'tWe want to nominate the strongest man in the party" resumed Chairman Clarkson, ''and think James G. Blaine is the man."
 While Chairman Clarkson was thus entertaining the Blaine people in the lobby of the hotel, Consul General New was expressing quite contrary opinions to another group of quesrioners.
 ''The Secretary of State understands the meaning of the English language" said MT. New, with great deliberRtion and emphasis, ''and he knew what he was doing when he took the people of the country into his confidence by means of his letter of deolination. fIt would be an insult to Mir. Blaine's manhood and integrity to assume that he.was trifing when he wrote that let ter.n
 MT. New has authoritatively an- nounced that Harrison would be placed in nomination by Chauncey M. Depew of New York, and that ex-Secretary of the Navy Thompson would second the nomination on behalf of the State of Indiana.
 Gov. Mckinley, of Ohio, is the candi- date of the Harrison delegation for per manent chairman of the convention.

A Close Friend of the President Makes am
 Important Statement.
 WASHINGTON, June 3.-A gentleman who is in the counsels of the Harrison people, and who is a closs friend of the President himself, has just made an inn portan6 statement, He says that if by Saturday night MT. Blaine has not writ ten letter again declining the use of his name in the Minneapolis Convention, he will recognize that he is 8 candidate and that he is the choice of at least a large element of the Republican party.
 MT. Harrison, however, will feel it his duty to magnanimously withdraw from the contest. He will, it is said, write leEter to that effect.
 MT. Harrison recognizes the fact that Mr. Blaine's refusal four years ago to be 8 candidate gave him the Presidency. Hesrealizes also that MT. Blaine has inn parted much glory to his administra- ton, and that he cannot afford to an- tagnnize him if, in response to the ur- gent. demand of his party, he assents to the use of his name in Minneapolis.

How a Police Justice Was Compelled to
 Do the Bidding of R Desperate Man. .e
 NYAcK, N. Y. June 3.-At 4 o'clock in the morning Police Justice Tomkins of Nyack was awakened by knock at his door. When he went down and opened it he was confronted by Thomas Wolfe, 8 well-known hotel keeper of Congers, who, with drawn revolver, de- manded 8 paper in the justice's possess sion, and threatened to kill him if it was not instantly produced.
 He compelled the justice at the point of his pistol to walk to his office, several blocks away. On their arrival they found the building locked up. Justice Tompkins went in search of the janitor, and Wolfe, with his revolver, followed close behind.
 They had proceeded but 6 short dis tance when they ran across a couple of officers, who disarmed Wolfe and locked him up. Justice Bannister held Wolfe to await the action of the grand jury.

4 NEW YORK LYNCHINGI
Summary Execution of Negro
 Fiend d Port Jervis.
THE VILLAGE POLICE PowERLEss.

A nEaddoned Mob Takes Bob Lewis, Who
 Made am Assault Upon HTiss HGcRLahOn.
 From the JaiI, and Hangs Him to
 Tree--The Excitement Intense.
 PoRT JERvs, N. Y., June a-Port Jervis is in 8 state of the greatest ex- citement still over the lynching last night by an excited mob of a negro named Bob Lewis, porter of the DeIa- ware House, on account of a brutal as- sauIt on Miss Lena McMahon. The crime occurred on the outs6iRts of the village, near the banks of Never sink River, shortly after noon. 1t was witnessed by a number of young girls, who stood about fifty feet away, and also by two young negroes, who would have interfered in the girls behalf, bat they were kept at bay by a revolver.
 After the outrage was perpetratsd Lewis fled, leaving his victim uncon- scious and with injuries which will prove fatal. A posse of men started in pursuit and tracked him for several miles along the highway as far as the racecourso, where all trace of him was lost.
 The posse was determined, however, and after much difficulty he was traced to Cuddenbackville, . small village on the Delaware and Hudson Canal about nine miles from Port Jervis, where he was captured by Sol Carley, Duke Har- ton and a man named Coleman. The fugitive had boarded . canal boat at Huguenot and had reached Cuddenback- vile when intercepted and taken.
 On the way back to Port Jeryis Lewis confessed the crime and implicated Will liam Foley, a white man, who he claim cd was in the conspiracy to ruin Miss McMahon. Foley has been paying at- tention to the girl against the wishes of her parents, and the feeling against him is such that should he be taken 8 fate similar to that which has overtaken Lewis would probably be meted out to him.
 News of the capture soon spread through the town, and large crowd of excited men collected about the village lookup, awaiting the arrival of the prisoner. The words were quietly whispered through the crowd: "Lynch himI' Lynch himp' The suggestion spread like wildflre, and it was evident that the fate of the prisoner was sealed.
 On his arrival at the lookup he was taken in hand by the mob. The village police endeavored to protect him, but their efforts were unRvailing. It was at first proposed to have Lewis identified by his victim before hanging him in or der to make sure that he was the guilty party. With this object in view the mob tied & rope around his body and dragged him up Hammond and down Main street as far as the residence of E. J. Fowler.
 By this time the passions of the mob had reached a state of uncontrollable excitement, and it, was decided to dis pose of him without further ceremony. A moose was adjusted about his neck and he was strung up to a neighboring tree in the presence of 8 bowling mob of over 1, 900 people. g
 For over an hour the body hung sus- pended from the tree, where it was viewed by crowds of people.
 has resided in Port Jervis about one year. His parents live in Paterson, N. J.

 Last night the body of Mrs Elizabeth Kelsey was found face downward in a pool of water not far from her late home in Essex. Dr Hubbard, the medi- cal examiner, was called and decided that it was case of suicide, although some of the neighbors at first suspected that there might have been foul play.

Mrs Kelsey had been missing since Tuesday and search was madeefor her yesterday, She was 58 years old.

THE DEATH LIST GROWING.
Now Exported That aaO Men Ara L.css i1 the PrxHbram Mine.

VIENNA, June 8.-The awful disaster at Prxibram, in Bohemia, has aroused the liveliest sympathy here. The lower house of the Reichsrath has granted urgency to motion calling upon the government to relieve the survivors and the families of the victims. The motion also calls upon the government 70 erect a monument at Przibram to the four miners who perished in trying to rescue their companions.
 Dispatches from Przibram say that with every hour an increase of the esti- mated mortality in the mines is report ed. Of the 500 men at work in the mine when the fire broke out but 140 can be found. The other 380 are undoubtedly dead in the mines.
 Besides the workingmen, i've pupils and an instructor in PrzibrRm School of Mines, who descended the shaft an hour before the alarm was given, are miss ing. The young meu went down with the instructor, as had been their won't for the last few weeks, to study prac- graduate and were taking the course in the mine preparatory to their nnal examinations. --
 Their families have been notified, and the fathers of two have gone to Przi- bram from Prague, and the fathers of the other three are expected to-day. They were summonsd merely to identify the bodies of their sons, as all hope that any of the imprisoned miners will be taken out alive has been abandoned. The work of bringing up the bodies continues steadily. Those at distance from the shaft were on their faces and ten in 8 group were prostrate with their heads wrapped in coats. Most of the men were suffocated, 1t is thought, before the flames reached them. In one narrow gallery fifteen charred trunks vera found in heap of embers, but such cases of cremation seem to have been the exception. :.
