Hls
Clark E. K. Royce. ex-treasurer of the
Veterans Home Association, who was
convicted of the embezzlement of S2050
from the funds of the association. came
up for the fourth time yesterday before
Judge j. M. Seawell for sentence.
Royce had attired himself in manner
befitting the occasion by wearing a neat
suit of black. but he seemed worried and
depressed. His counsel. Patrick Reddy,
sat beside him, and when the case was
called aud the Judge asked IL Royce had
anything to say why sentence should not
be passed upon him. Mr.. Reddy rose and
made some remarks on his clients behalf.
Judge Seawell then, without further
parley. proceeded to review the circum-
stances of The case. In conclusion he SEN
fenced Royce to seven years prisonment
In the States prison at Snn Quentin.
Royce stood with bowed head while
sentence was being passed, but showed
no sign of emotion. MIR. Reddy then
asked for stay of ten days, which was
granted. and further made q strong appeal
to have his client admitted to bail pending
an appeal to the Supreme Court. He pre-.
sented some legal points, and the Judge
took the matter under advisement, his de-
cision to be rendered tomorrow. In any
case Judge Seawell will grant writ of
probable cause.
Two other charges of embezzlement
against Royce stand over until January,

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND on Tuesday
nominated and sent to the senate for
confirmation the name of Wayne Mac
Weigh, of Pennsylvania, as Ambassador
to Italy. While MacVeigh's fitness for
the position is admitted, it is certain
that there are thousands of Democrats
in the United States of equal fitness who
have given the party the benefit of years
of exertion and devotion, and who
would have been honored by the ap-
poinment and would have hOnored
the appointment 10y deserving it.
Mr. MacNeigh is new conner in the
Democratic fold having up until 1892
trained with the Republicans. His
change of heart was long time coming,
came suddenly and only eliminated af-
ter Harrison had served one term and
had failed to discover MacVeigh.
MacNeigh was "A braying Republican

of the visiting statesmen" to Louisiana.

Mrs. Lizzie Haser, wife If !. c. Haser,

home, early on Monday morning IN
most unusual manner. She went TO a
chicken coop IN the rear of her residence,

rope, fastened one end of it to a beam
and the other around her neck. She
then fired bullet into her brain, at the
same time kicking the box away.
Mr.. Haser arose at Is o clock in the
morning and went to his place of busi-
ness. As soon rs he left Mrs Haser got

In a few minutes the report of re-
volvcr was heard and several neighbors
rushed to the Haser residence. After Il

coop. Mrs. Haser was dead and a re

Kidnapped GIrl.

DURANGO, MEXICO, Dec. 1S.-The Pre-
feet of the district of Concordia and a
party of rural guards are in close pursuit
of the MeXicans who kidnapped Miss
Charlotte Newman, a pretty American
girl, few days ago. Miss Newman
lived at Mazatlat with her mother. She
was on the way by stage from Aqua
Caliente to Lasatlan, when the driver
refined up at a call from the roadside,
where four men on horseback sat point
ing revolvers at his head.
While one man held gun on the
driver and attended to the horses, the
other stepped to the end of the coach and
courteuusly requested the young lady to
come out. The frightened girl recog
nlzed the larger man, fine-looking fell
low, as Jose Valdez, her rejected lover.
She begged the passengers to save her.
Valdez warned them to do nothing, and
as they had no firearms they dared not
protest. After vainly urging Miss New.
man to alight, Valdez and a companion
laid hold of her aud carried her To the
horses. The Mexican authorities were
at once notified. They placed her upon
one, tied her to the saddle, and led the
horse toward the mountains.

LehIgh Company Hiring Old Men.

EASToN, Pa, Dec. 19.-All through
the Lehigh valley there are rumors of
pending trouble on the Lehigh road, but
when the strikers are questioned about
it. especially those at the headquarters
in South Easton, there are fiat contra
dictious of the alarming reports. II *
the experience Of the United Press CORE
spondent, in running out these stories
and rumors, that they are told mostly by
those who get them secUnu hand. The
statement of the leaders among the
strikers and Of the railroad officials gen
orally agree. This Is To the effect that the
company Is hiring old men about as
fast as there Is need of them. \ report
was circulated that engines borrowed
from the Resdiug were manned toy Read
ing crews. The strikers say this Is not
true, as some of their number are in
charge of the engines.

THE annual report of Hon. John c.
Carlisle, secretary of the treasury, was
submitted to congress on Wednesday
The secretary estimates the revenues of
the government for the fiscal year which
will end on the 3Oth of next June, at
$3.50, 121 900, and that the expenditures
for the esame period will amount to S45S,
121 900, leaving deficit of S2S, 600, 600
on the year.
Until the effect of the repeal of the
Sherman silver purchase law is more
fully developed, he does not consider it
advisablefo recommend further specific
legislation on the subject. He favors
legislation to authorize more extended
use of silver certificates. He refers to
the opinion of his predecessor and of the
late attorney general that the gain or
seigniorage resulting from the coinage
of silver bullion as it progresses consti-
tutes part of the general assets of the
treasury, and states that he has ordered
the mints at New Orleans and San Fran
cisco to be kept in readiness to com
mence the coinage of standard silver dol
lars at any time when required He
champions the system of substituting ad
valorem duties for specific duties in the
collection of customs, and recommends
an increase OF ten cents gallon in the
internal revenue tax on distilled Snirits
the imposition of additional internal
revenue taxes on cigars and cigarettes,
the imposition of new taxes on playing
cards, cosmetics, perfumeries, legacies
and SUGGESTIONS, and incomes derived
from investments in stocks and bonds of
corporations and joint stock companies.

Postmaster James Kennedy. of Taren~
tum, was asphyXiated Sunday night in
the postotiice, and was found dead about
10 o clock. He entered the Office about
Z o clock, being seen at the time by
friends. As he did not make his ap-
pearance at home at tue usual time his
family became anxious. and one of his
relatives went to the office to look for
him. The smell of gas was noticeable
at the door, which was burst open. Mr..
Kennedy lay dead on the floor, which
was covered with newspapers which bad
evidently been placed there 10y him
There were two gas fires and one jet
burning, and the fires were very strong
1t is supposed too much gas was coming

consumed. The deceased was 36 years
of age, unmarried, and lived with his

SENATOR VOORHEES, on Thursday in
troduced in the senate his long prom
;sed financial bill. 1t provides for
the coinage of the silver seigniorage, for
the purchase and coinage of 81, 600, 600
worth of silver per month after the coin
age of the seigniorage, for the retire
ment of the paper currency of less de-
nomination than $40, for the retirement
of all gold coins of less denomination
than $40 and for the appointment of an
international commission. In regard
to the inference in some quarters that
the administration favored the bill,
Senator Voorhees, to-day said: "My bill
is not the result of one word of consul
tation, and certainly do not claim to
represent the administration in intro
ducing it. ! desire however, to help the

Car. JOSEPH NASH, an extensive ranch
man, reports that in many localities in
Western Texas no rain has fallen for five
months, and consequently there is nc
grass, the range in many sections having
been completely eaten up. Range cattle
have been reduced to skeletons and even
now are dying by hundreds. With the
advent of the cold weather, which gen
orally strikes Texas by the latter part OF
December or the early days of January
the loss of cattle is expected to be fright
full. Sheepmen are as badly off as cat

THE Washington CPa) Democrat says:
Mr.. s, A. Noble, the most extensive
wool grower in the county, perhaps, was
in town Saturday. He is a live business
man and is frequently at the county
seat. Mr.. Noble informed us he is
wintering 1,104 head of sheep. He is a
Democrat, Notwithstanding insinuations
to the contrary in sensational and unre-
liable newspapers. Mr.. Noble says that
the manufacture of shoddy in this
country is the cause of the low price of
wool. ShOddy factories in this country
came with high protective duties on
wool and will fall off with them. The
Donegal township farmer has no inten>
tion of getting out of the wool growing
business.
