JAMES HoAR's ExiLE.

\ Queer and Romantic Story from tho
Mountains Of fPennsylvania.
The death Of Mrs. Jennie Hear at her
mountain cottage back of Jumonville
removes ons of the most romantic char
acters that ever dwelt in the mountains
| Of Fayette county. She was born where
she died, and her sorrowfully romantic
life covered term of 03 years.
Seventy years ago there came to this
county from Massachusetts, young man
named James Hoar, son of q prominent
citizen of Boston, educated at one Of
the leading eastern colleges. Beyond
this nothing could be learned of his life.
He secured work as q day laborer at the
old Wharton furnace Everything about
this stranger bespoke the gentleman of
culture. This fact, added to the mys-
terry Of his life, led to the conclusion
that he had left Massachusetts for rea-
sons which he did not care to divnlge.
One day as he was handling large
piece Of metal it fell and broke his leg.
He was taken to the home Of Benjamin
Bronson. Bronson had daughter named
Jennie, typical oocntry girl. When
Hoar was taken to her home, her spare
time was devoted to the care Of the new
arrival. After the patient was able to
be about hiS attentions to Jennie be-
came apparent, and quiet country
wedding followed. They took up their
abode in little log house about mile
cast of Dunbar. A household Of chill
ilren came to their fireside. James Hoar
had become q typical woodsman, and
many stories of his prowess as an ath-
leto are still told.
The tranquility Of the little mountain
home was broken by the appearance ef
southern planter named LIE Clair. He
was accompanied by his wife, aud tn
gether they secured quarters at Hoar's
cabin. The latter had q daughter 81
years old. LIE Clair pretended to have
become enamored Of the fair haired
mountain girl. The secret Of his pre-
tended love was;: kept from his wife, and
when the lie Clairs left she disappear
ed. What became Of her is still mys-
terry, and it is believed that she was
kidnapped by the LIE Clairs and taken
south. The broken hearted mother nev.
er recovered from the loss, and from
that time life for her was one long sor-
row. James Hoar died at the age Of 50.
It is now known that his connection
with some Of the Cape Cod pirates drove
him into this mountain exile He was
a cousin Of Senator Hoar Of Massaohu-
setts. Jennie Hoar made q livelihood
after the death Of her husband by sell
ing roots and herbs. ~ Pittsburg Dis

ALLEGED BLACKMAILER.
Woman Charged with Securing $1,000
Hush Money" from Banker.

MINNEAPOLIS, April 12.-The grand jury
is now investigating sensational charges
OF blackmail, the witnesses being several
prominent bankers and capitalists The
testimony given shows that Mrs. Christian
Miller. who had been domestic in several
well known families succeeded by threats
in securing $1,000 from II. G. Sidle, presi-
dent of the First National Bank and un-
successfully attempted TO victimize George
A. Bracket, a well-known capitalist, and
n. l.. Brice a real estate man. She sue
ceeded in persuading MIR. Side to come TO
her room on pretenSe OF discussing the
sale of some property. No sooner had he
appeared than two supposed confederateS
rushed in BY threats OF spreading scan
dalous stories about the affair Mrs. Miller
secured the money in installments from
Mr.. Sidle. This was last summer After
wards she worked a few days in Mr.
Brackets house, and then, being dis
charged. came TO him in his office and
threatened TO tell scandalous story about
his actions toward her while in his house
unless he paid over s. 1000. Mr.. Brackett re-
fused absolutely, and at once set about
securing evidence to convict the woman
Mr.. Brice had previously had experience
with Mrs. Miller, and succeeded i'm the
presence of an attorney, in breaking down
her story. The woman has now left town.
but indictments are expected for her and
her alleged accomplices OF whom, IL Is be-
lieVed, there are several. She is a woman
of forty-fiVe and not at all attractive.

Governments, Evidence to Show the
Cabinet COmpany's Paper Was Never
Intended as Actual Collateral.
THE MEXICAN TRANSACTION
Money Obtained from Both Bank
and Foreign Firm on One Draft.
Teller Robinson of the Defunct Bank
Continues on the Stand During the
Third Day of the Trial.

The proceedings in the trial of the Cof-
fins and A. S. Reed are of a nature that
fail to attract a large crowd to the court
room, although there is widespread interest
in the case. Teller Louis Robinson, former
ly of the bank, was the stand all day
yesterday, and yet his examination in chief
seems to be far from completed. The test-
mony yesterday consisted of minute de-
failing of all the transactions between the
bank and the cabinet company, and be-
tween the cabinet company and its various
branches as they came up in connection
with the transactions with the bank. The
testimony developed the rapidity with
which the cabinet company deposited its
phantom paper with the bank so as to
wipe out the overdrafts which increased
rapidly despite the influx of phantom paper
in large quantities. A great deal of the
testimony was towards tracing the history
of the $4,000 in worthless paper which was
deposited on May o. 1893, all of which. or
it's renewals, is still in the hands of the
receiver.
Mr.. Robinson is proving an excellent wit
ness He has full knowledge of all the
facts about which he is called upon to
testify, and has all the books and records
Of the bank and the various companies at
hand TO consult. When handed a certain
book he finds the entry for which he is
searching within an incredibly short space
of time. or If the entry is not upon the
book, he knows that 1t is not. His an
swers are short concise and direct. The
readiness with which he delves into the
mass of books and papers and finds just
the particular thing for which he is search
ing shows that lie is acquainted with the
work he is performing before the court and
jury.
Quick as Mr.. Robinson is, he is not
quicker than attorney Ferd Winter, of
counsel for the defense. Mr.. Winter ex-
amines every check. draft note that is
examined by the witness in his testimony
makes notes of it's number and other data
that will aid him in referring TO it later
examines every entry In every book that
is examined by the witness. and if there is
a shadow Of a ground upon which to OBJ
ject to it, Mr.. Winter Is ready with his
objection by the time the witness is ready
to testify. 1t is still a question: OF consider
able uncertainty as TO how long Mr.. Rob-
inson will be on the stand, but IL is GER
tain that it will be more tnan a day longer.

PRIESTS WILL APPEAL.
Archbishop Hennessy Refuses to Con-
slider Charges Against a Bishop.

OMAHA, Neb., April 12.-The trial of
Bishop Bonacum, which promised to be
nine days sensation in Roman Catholic
circles, collapsed to-day without a witness
being summoned. The only thing done was
to read the charges against the Bishop,
preferred by priests William Murphy, John
Crowley, p. Kuppenbender, p. II. Hansen,
+. y. Schraffie, j. j. Louhran. Martin ].
Corbett, o. n. Turgeon, John English, Den

tion of office, tyranny and oppression. in
subordination, melting strife. personal SIAN
der, arbitrary use of power violation of
the statutes, misappropriation of church
funds, falsehood, speculation with church
funds, perjury and many others.
archbishop Hennessy, of Dubuque, pre-
sided over the ecclesiastical court Attor-
ney E. F. Warren, of Nebraska City, rep
resented the complainants and attorney
Dickson. of St. Louis, acted for Bishop Bona
cum. The Archbishop stated the manner
In which the proceedings would be con-
Quoted. 1t was to be investigation of
personal grievances and those having such
grievances would be heard from. The COM
plainants rendered the services of a Ste
nographer and guaranteed secrecy on his
part, 'Dut the Bishop would not agree TO it,
stating that the secretaries would take all
the minutes necessary. The vital question
then was called up, whether the Archbishop
would consider the charges consecutively
Mr. Warren, for the complanants, re-
questsd that the charges be read and con-
sidered in detail. AS the reading of charge
after charge and the specifications pro-
gressed the Archbishop declined to con-
slider the principal ones on which the action
is based, and stated emphatically that he
would hear nothing but personal griev-
anceS. Exceptions were taken to all of
the ArchbshOp's rulings and at the con-
clusion of the reading the complainants
filed general exception and appealed the
case to Mgr. Satoli.
So ends the third act in a celebrated case
But IL is not the last act by any means.
The complaining priests declare if they do
not gain their point with Mgr. Satolli the
case Will be carried to Rome and pushed
with all the vigor possible. They also as
sert the case will now be given full swing
in the civil courts, for, they have not
been able to secure a hearing before the
Archbishop they propose that when the
injunction case comes up at Nebraska CITY
next week the public shall know the inside
history of the case. The Injunction case
is one by which the District Court has re-
strained Father Corbett, one of the com
plainants, from drawing money deposited
in his name from the bank. IL being alleged
the cash belongs to the Palmyra Church
over which he presided until removed by
Bishop BOnacum.

HIS FAMILY A LARGE ONE.
A Pennsylvania Man Who Was the Faith
Ell of FOrty-0ne Children.

ALLENTOWN, April l2-The DEATH re-
Gently, this city, of Hiram Heffner,
recalls the fact that he was ore of forty
one children. His father, John Heffner,
died in the fall OF 1885 at Reading at the
age of sxty-nine. Had death in an acci-
dental form not cut him off it is probable
that the number of his progeny would have
been considerably increased. At the time
he called unto his fathers he was the
father of forty-one children, and a step
child also called him father. Heffner was
one of Readings characters, and was In
the full vigor of health when he was killed.
1t is doubtful whether his record i'm the
parental line was ever equaled in Pennsyl-
vania, and the cases where one man was

tremely rare.
Heffner was a dwarfed hunchback, and
not of prepossessing appearance. lie was
born in Berlin. Germany, in 1916 and came

DETAILS OF THE FIGHT.
Speaker Crisp Rules the House with
an Iron Hand.

WASHINGTON, April 12-As soon as the
journal was read in the House to-day Mr..
Catchings was recognized to present a re-
port from the committee rules. Mr..
Burrows attempted to raise the point of
order that no quorum was present, but the
Speaker held that the journal having been
approved the point of order could not be
made save on vote upon some pending
question Mr.. Burrows then tried a flank
movement with appeal from the de-
cisiOn of the Chair, and the Speaker de-
clared that he could not take Mr. Catch
ings off the floor for that purpose. Mr..
Reed came forward at this juncture and
manifested a disposition to hold a joint de-
bate with the Chair but the Speaker de-
clned the invitation and directed the Clerk
to read the report. Mr.. Reed vainly at
tempted to interrupt the reading with ap-
peals for recognition on a point of order
but the Speaker, with averted head, re-
fused to listen TO him. and Mr.. Reed, find
ing his efforts futile, sank down in his
chair The report from the committee on
rules was then read, as follows:
"Rescind Clause / of Rule I, and insert

SOUTH CAROLINA "RAccooNs."

1.-THE entire coast malginp Of South
Carolina is well provided with natuTal
beds; but, says Mr.. Dean, "they ATE
strangely unlike the natural beds fur
Their .northward. >" In this region the
Oyster is found on the margin of the
shore in positive reefs, part of which
are at low tide exposed-so that the
oysters live almost ''as much in the air
as in the water" These lodges are
formed of curious clusters-those oys-
tefs which are on the top being called
"raccoons," because of their peculiar
shape. These oysters can barely be
said to live, and are in their present
condition utterly unfit for the table,
: Prof. Ryder says that the cause OF
this peculiar clustering is that, because
of the muddy and unhealthy condition
of the bottom in the deeper water, the
oysters of South Carolina cling to the
shore line and there build upon one
another, generation after generation,
until sometimes lodges are formed over
ten feet in height. This crowding to-
gether prevents individual develop
ment, and consequently millions upon
millions of oysters are losoto the PEG
pie of this country in this one state
alone. That the planting" of
''racoon'' seed in the deeper waters for
cultivation would be proftless is shown
by the natural growth of the oysters
themselves in the marginal waters
They would soon become asphyxiated
in the soft, sitting mud bottom which
occurs along the entire coast line of
this state.-Robert f. Walsh, in Popu-
lar Science Monthly.
