Two More of His Friends Convicted OF
Corrupt Practices.

ST. JoHS's, \. f., June l0-Justice Lit
tlc rendered his decision in the Burin Con-
tested election case. He finds that Payne
and TAFT. the Whiteway members repre-
senting the district, secured their election
through corrupt practices and adiudged
them guilty OF offenscs similar 10 those
which disqualified their associates in tho
recent election trials. In addition, tho
court decided that they were guilty OF
offering the magistracy to one man and
the postmastership TO another in recogni-
ton of services to be rendered their party
during the election, and also of buying
votes and other corrupt practices.
Nine members have thus far been un-
seated and there is still another case be-
fore Judge Little awaiting judgment. The
proroguing of the legislature for another
month ends all the Whitewayites' hopes
of retrieving themselves.

III. Father to Justice.


LExryoToS, KY, June lo.-Twelve-year-
old Willie Haskins has turned detective to
locate and cause tho arrest of his father,
John II. Hnskins. q fugitive embezzler.
About six months ago Haskins disap-
peared, leaving a pretty wife, a comforta-
BILE home and q son. He defrauded many
persons. including his son.
All efforts to locate him have been vain.
Willie, the son, became convinced that
his father had a confederate who was
keeping him posted rs to the plans to ar
rest him. BY observation he became con-
vinced that an old colorcd woman who
had been family servant at Haskins'
parents was that friend. He watched the
old woman night after night and was re-
warded by seeing her reading letter.
which he soon found was from friend of
Haskins In Cincinnati. Willie got this
letter and located his father on Chestnut
street, in Cincinnati.
The police were notified, but they wero
given the slip. Tue boy has pow per-
fected his plans and will go to Cincinnati

MORE KILLING.
Armed Deputies IN tho Coke Regions
Keeping the Fight Hot.

Armed Deputies IN tho Coke Regions
Keeping the Fight Hot.
UNIoSTowN, Pa, June 10.-The truce 10
ending and again the armed deputies in
the coke regions have made killing. One
striker was killed In his boots and two
others are dying and another shot through
the leg as a result OF battle this morning
at Lamont. There were six deputies on
hand aud q mob Of six strikers. The un-
biased testimony Is to the effect that the
mob compelled the deputies to fire on
them after the strikers had compelled
them to retreat and fired several shots at
them.
The circumstances that led up 10 this
latest tragedy of the coke region were de-
veloping since yesterday noon. Four
American workmen-John Delaney, Oil
yer Attleby, John Britt and James Fur
lough-who live at Leiseuring, had been
working at the Frick Coke company's val
ley works for some time. They came to
New Haven yesterday afternoon, where
they were to take the Lciseuring electric
line for home, where they have not been
for month.
As soon as they alighted from the train
at New Haven they we're surrounded by a
mob OF several hundred strikers. The
strikers first beat the few workmen
and then put tags on them bear
ing the inscription "Blacklegs," also
covering them with chalk marks.
They then marched their prisoners TO all
OF the works on the line from New Haven
south, holding them up as decorated sam
Piles Of "scabs" for the revilings and abuse
OF the strikers everywhere.
The Frlck company was informed OF the
perilous position Of their workmen. Field
Deputy Allen and sevon men were sent to
New Haven on the evening train. They
were misled by false information.
The Frick company strikers bafiied
them at every turn, but they followed
every clue they could find aud were scour-
ing the country all night in search Of the
mob. They were tricked by the fact that
the whole matter was conspiracy and
different mobs were concerned, and when
ono crowd had tired of tho prisoners, or
were pressed too closely by pursuit, the
four prisoners were handed over 10 an
other crowd and the former gatherin.
would disperse to their homes.
The prisoners were especially i'll treated
when their captors marched them to their
homes, where the women and children
slapped and spst upon them and called
them vile names. The women were most
violent in their abuse of them. The chill
dren struck them with their tiny fists.
1t was daylight when the squad of tired
deputies reached Lamont. Not long after
daylight the men began to assemble on
the commons by hundreds. They en-.
gagged in the widest demonstrations.
When Deputies Michaels and Hastings
came from under cover they were quickly
discovered. Then the mob raised howl
and surrounded them.
Many strikers had revolvers and all
carried clubs. They moved against the
deputies who retreated under shower of
clubs aud stones. At this juucture Deputy
Allen and three other deputies came up.
Allen was mounted.

WASHINGTON, juno 10.-It Is expected
on both sides Of the senate chamber that
the wooden schedule will be reached dur
ing the present week in the consideration
of the tariff bill. There is q tacit agree.
ment among the republican and demo-
cratic leaders that the debate shall be
continued under the five-minute rule on
wines. cotton manufactures and the fax
schedules. Senator Aldrich. as the repre-
sentative Of the republican side Of the
chamber, expressed the opinion that these
schedules would be disposed Of with very
slight delay. He says the understanding
for fiye-minuto speeches would not be
continued when the woolen schedule
should be reached and expressed the opin-
ion that thrce or four days debate would
be necessary before wool and the woolen
schedule is acted upan.
Some of the democratic leaders think
the schedule may be disposed Of in two
DAYS.
This schedule will develop one OF the
most important debates connected with
the bill. Next to the duty on sugar. free
wool has attracted more attention than
any other item In tho bill. and there can
be no doubt many republican senators
will make speeches vigorously assailing
the democratic position. The democrats,
while not expecting or hoping 10 secure
consideration of this schedule under tho
five-minute rule are, nevertheless, hope
iul that they can make arrangements for
a definite number of days for the debate.
1t is understood this is the one thing they
have in view and are arranging prelimi.

THE PRIZE TRIPLETS.
They Have Laid Claim to Superiority Owe

They Have Laid Claim to Superiority Over
the bennington Three.
Mr.. q. Mayes writes to us from Hal
stead to call attention to. the fact that
the Whitmarsh-near bennington
triplets are not the only ones which have
lived to celebrate their majority. At
Edinburgh one morning in August,
1868, the wife of Mr.. q. Mayes, watch
maker and jeweler, surprised her hus-
band by presenting him with triplets
two sons and one daughter-a feat
for which she was rewarded by duly re-
ceiving the royal bounty When the
youngsters came of age in 1884, the
proud father commemorated the event
by having photograph of the three
taken and sending copy to the queen,
in acknowledgment of her former kind
ness. Her majesty replied to Mr..
Mayes' letter, expressing a hope that
the triplets were well and prospering.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mayes-the latter OF
whom was the mother of five children
in 1s months-are still well and hearty,
and on the Sd of January they propose
celebrating their golden wedding. Mr..
Mayes tells us that the triplets all enjoy
good health. "We are all three mar
ried-two boys and one girl-and two
of us-myself and sister-have children
of our own, my sister three and myself
one. We have attained our thirtieth
year, and so outstrip the case near
bennington. Westminster Gazette.

Old Johns Translation.

Every one in Boston knows of old
John the Orangeman, that picturesque
and almost historical parsonage who
presides over the affections of all Har.
ward men. And every one who knows
John knows also that his 1ife's motto is
that familiar phrase which expresses
briefly and to the point the wish that
Yale may be forever relegated to the re-
gion of sorrow and perpetual darkness.
One afternoon strangers were walk
ing through the yard at Harvard, and
on every hand they saw the college seal
bearing this motto, "Christo ct Eccle-
si8."
Not being on speaking terms with
Cicero, Caesar and the other Romans,
this did nothing but to arouse their Gu
riosity.
Finally they met John.

who owed Korn for the rent of three
rooms on the second floor of the tene-
nent at 80 Attorney street. This is the
letter:
Judge Goldfqgold:

The girl wept copiously whifs Jt.s-
tice Goldfogle struggled with this COM

her she answered with keen intelli-
gence. She was sure she had written
the letter herself and explained that her
parents formerly lived in Cherry street,
and that she knew the location of the
court because she used to pass it daily
on her way to school.
