Doings OF Congress Today, Both Houses
Adjourn to Go into oaucus-The Old
House Rules Will Prevail.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-[Special. The
Senate met at noon, and after short
prayer by the Chaplain, and few routine
items of business adjourned TO noon,
Thursday.
The house also adjourned after few
preliminary motions and orders Of no
public interest. The object Of adjourn
ment was to allow both parties to caucus
to see where they are at on the financial
crisis.
These caucuses are now being held In
secret
The silver men are also In secret ses-
sion.
The coinage and weights and measure
committee may be ready to announce
tomorrow, and there is great anxiety to
know how the speaker will make up this
committee.
The old rules of the house prevail, pend.

There are only 80 members In the free
silver caucus, all Tor free coinage.
The Democratic Senators caucus is
largely attended. They did nothing
before the Senate met but are In session
again.

Judge Blsndin on the Message.

CLEVELAND, Aug. 9'-In brief inter.
view on the Presidents message Judge
Blsndin says: "The message 10 disap-
pointment. II 10 q display on the part Of
It's author Of complete misunderstand-
ing Of the monetary question. II is sad
commentary on the intelligence of Ameri.
can statesmanship. II shows ignorance
by Mr.. Cleveland Of the fundamental
principles Of finance.
"The president talks about dangerous
experiments with the money question. 1t
10 his policy that is an experiment rather
than the one which the friends of silver
favor. This is q costly experiment which
has been tried since 1873 that has brought
US to our present condition. Let US stop
experimenting and 60 back to where we
were before 1873. The people OF this
country want free silver and they will
have II eventually"

Not Likely to RECOVER It.

Austrian, cashier of the Peoples Out

bicycle on mis- way to the Chicago Ma

age containing the moneyslippedfromthe
handle'of his machine and fell to the
street. Austrian missed the package a
few minutes after it dropped and re.
tracing his course learned that 12-year-
old boy had found the package, but be-
fore examining it had surrendered it on
demand to man whose name is not
known. Tho police have an imperfect
description of the man, and are en-
deavoring to discover his identity.
Austrian will make the loss good should
the police be unable to recover the
money,

VIEWS ON THE MESSAGE.
What Some Leading Congressmen Think
of it.

What Some Leading Congressman Think
Of It.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Bourke Cochran,
New York: admirable, most admirable.
Even the silver men must admit that II is
the most perfect presentation of the ques-
ton that could be made"
Representative Bland, of Missouri: :
"As nearly as can make out, it was q
plea for single gold standard because
England maintains 1t. II England could
coin silver probably this country would
do so. We seem to have lost the spirit of
1776."
Representatives Bynum and Harter
commended the message in the highest
terms as did Messrs. Springer and Hol-
man.
Representative McAillen, of Tennessee,
heartily approved the message.
Representative Simpson (Populist,
Kansas), said: vt is the weakest mess
sage ever presented to the country.
Weak as dishwater does not express II.
The Presidents reference TO the labor
question Is the veriest rot."
Representative Bell (Populist- Demo.
crat, Colorado), said: ut was an unmis-
taxable gold standard paper. 1t Ia In dir
rect conflict with the platforms and doc.
trines of the party for the last 20 years.
Senator German said: "The. message
Is clear cut statement of the Presidents
views. All of the comment that I have
heard in the Senate 10 that II IL as terse
and clear q statement as could have been
made"
Senator Cockrell, Chairman Of the APP
preparation Committee: ~ am not sure
that understand fully the purport of the
message, and until have read II care
fully cannot express an opinion"
Senator Allison: ut 10 a very fair mess
sage"
Senator Jones, (NsvAda)-I think the
message 10 utterly illogical and does not
analyzs the situation at all. The Sher-
man act has nothing to do with the press
ent condition of Affairs. The lines are
drawn for the battle, and see no reason
for the friends of rep ,al to think they can
carry their measure through.
Senators Quay, HAwley, Lodge and
Mcpherson were well pleased with the
Recommendations regarding finances.
Senator Teller-The simple assertion
OF the President that the present finan-
cial condition 10 due to the Sherman law
does not make u so. His premise ID
wrong and his conclusions necessarily
fall TO the ground.
Senator Peffer-Ths banker will regard
II as perfection, the farmer and workmeu
will see In IL q further reduction Of the
product Of their labor. Its the first ats
tack Of money kings in their finai struggle
for supremacy.

THE FIGHT is NEAL AGAINST

The Presidents Message Much Dis
oussed-It is Doubtful What the Plat
form Will Say on the Silver Question.
CINCINNATI, Aug. 9.--ISpecial. 1.-The
weather 10 hot and many Of the delegates
are hot. The Cincinnati water is bad
very bad, but the beer is cooling and ex-
ceilent. Yet everything and everybody 10
warming up. The fights on the head Of
the ticket. The balance seems TO be lost
sight Of In the Gubernstorisl shuttle.
lawrence T. Neal has established his
hea, quarters In the Gibson House, and
his pnrlors are jammed this afternoon.
Your correspondent has just had talk
with him. Neal thinks he will be nomi-
mated on the first or second ballots. The
battle 10 Neal against the field. 1t is claim
ed that Neal will have 60 votes In
Hamilton county, Notwithstanding the
candidacy Of Chas. w. Baker and Col. w.
A. Taylor. John J. Lentz Of Columbus,
has quite following, and the Mahoning
county delegation Is booming John B.
Clark Of Youngstown. Stark county has
not yet been polled, but Neal will have .
good vote In Stark. The Cuyahoga dele
cation is divided, some want Farley, Others
John ]. Lentz.
The Presidents message was generally
discussed among the delegates last night.
One prominent Democrat threatens to
introduce resolution into the convention
to condemn IL. is conceded that the
platform committee will ihave very
lively time, as the free silver men are here
in force and are very aggressive. or
course free silver plank will be offered
the convention, but the outcome Is in
doubt. The administration forces are on
the alert.

FOSTERS FAILURE,

The Latest Indicate o Total Collapse.
FosToRIA, Aug. 9.-[Special.l-The in
dications now are that the creditors of
Chas. Foster will not get 10 cents on the
dollar. The Wholesale grocery in which
Foster was partner expects to pay 40
cents; and the bank may pay 25 cents i;
but Fosters individual creditors may not
get even 10 cents. The great query here
10. what has Foster done with his Inn
mense fortune? He was left about
5000, 600 by his father and he made over
one million, when he and Senator Brice
sold the Nickel Plate road to Vanderbilt.
He Is not an e :sxtravaRant man and his
habits are good. People are wondering
how he has parted with his great wealth.
No one here, who is friend OF Foster he I.
lieves that he has any money "sAlted
down" for private use In the future.

MINE EXPLOSION.
A MINER SERIOUSLY INJURED BY HE
DISCHARGE OF POWDER


He 10 Badly Burned But Exhibits Great
Pluck and Walks to Canton to Re-
oeive Attention at the Hands of Ply

A serious accident occurred In q coal
mine located near Belden's brick yard at
IL 80 this forenoon. Joseph Kerspaumer.
coal driller, had drilled m inch and q
half hole 20 depth of about Ave and
half feet, and had Alled II about half full
of powder with the intention of tamping
It. The fret stroke resulted In an expIo.
sion which buried Kerspsumer about ten
feet away.
II blew out his hat lamp and the smoke
nearly smothered him. He was not
not knocked insensible, however, and
called for help. He was assisted to tho
outside OF the mine, and TO the place
where he boarded on Jackson street, east
Of the East Creek, the place being kept By
Louis Blanc. His clothes which were burn
ed nearly off, were removed, and others
substituted, and he started for tho office
OF DR.. Schuffell on West Tuscsrawast st.
An examination proved that his face,
arms, legs and body were burned black,
and the powder In many places had pierc-
ed the skin. The doctor did all he could
for the wounded man, and he will not be
layed of more than two weeks II he is
careful.
Kerspaumer 10 q Frenchmsn, OF good
build, and displayed wonderful nerve, In
walking nearly three miles after he was
injured, before he reached the doctors
office.

SCHWIER PINCHED.

The Young Attorney May Now
Bring That Fortune to His
Rescue.
William E. Schwier, the young lawyer
who left Canton suddenly about the first
of last April to avoid arrest, returned
about one week ago, after having used
all his cash In the west. In April he ses
cured S35 from the Canton Mortgage loan
Company under false pretenses, Stating
that he had library consisting OF statutes
Of Ohio, Ohio State reports and other
volumes of law, but II was
found that these did not belong
to him and Constable Slaale was sent to
arrest him. He left family In destitute
circumstances, and nothing was heard Of
him until week ago when he came back.
Last night he was arrested In front
of his residence In the eastern
part of the city, and taken before Justice
Ringle, where he pleaded not guilty. In
default of $500 bail he was remanded to
jail to await q hearing which IL set for
Saturday at o'clock. There are some
other charges to be filed against him md
isis evident he will be severely dealt with
before be clears himself.

WANTS TO FORGET.
Mrs Ida Sturgeon Will Leave
for Foreign Lands-A Ruined
Life.


Life.
Mrs. Ida Sturgeon, who was reared in
East Palestine, and where she has re-
Gently been visiting, has accepted q posi-
ton as teacher In native school at Hon
olulu, Sandwich islands, under five year
contract, and will leave in the near future
for the scene Of her duties. There 10 .
sad story connected with the life OF Mrs.
Sturgeon, says the Alliance Review. Ten
years ago she was happy bride In Buoy,
rus. the wife of John Sturgeon, q rising
young attorney, TO whom she had been
married ut her home in East Palestine.
For years her life was almost idyllic.
Her husband prospered and won the con-
fldence of the community. But the
tempter came, and at time when Stur>
geon was apparently in the heyday Of
success, having been elected city solicit
tor, and built up an imm snse legal prac-
tice, largely In the settlement Of estates,
he suddenly disappeared, together with
more than $4,000 of the money OF his
clients. For nearly three years
he was q wanderer, but was finally
captured in San francisco several
months since, penniless and broken In
health. He was brought back to Buoy
rus, where he has since been In jail,
awaiting the trial, which will inevitably
result In his receiving . long term in the
penitentiary. His wife, feeling keenIy
the disgrace brought upon her, seeks for
getfulness in voluntary exile from the
scenes of her trouble.
1t 10 singular coincidence that Sturgeon,
during large part Of the time he was alb
sent, sojourned at Honolulu. the same
city where the wronged wife will make
her future home.
