Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1894-05-24

WASHINGTON, May Representative
William A. Stone of Pennsylvania, of the
house Judiciary committee, presented a
favorable report on II bill introduced by
him some months ago to place marshals,
district attorneys and clerks of the United
States courts on salary and abolish the
system of fees by which they have been
paid. The bill fixes the salaries for mar
shals and district attorneys throughout
the United States at 81, 600 each, and leaves
the compensation of clerks at such sum as
the encouragement shall decide, not ex-
ceeding $4,000 per annum A letter from
the attorney-general shows that the bill
VIII not only effect great saving, but do
away with frivolous prosecutions, unwar-
ranted by law Under the present fee sys-
TEN about 5Oper. cent. of the prosecutions
IN the United States courts result in ac-
quittals or discontinuance 1t is a system
which most of the states have abandoned.
ana the report states that it ought not to
be tolerated any longer by the government.

STATE BANK TAX.
The Next Sharp and Bitter Battle in
Congress.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Nembers who
have interested themselves in the subject
believe that the debate on the bill to repeal
the 10 per cent state bank tax will be the
most spirited and acrimonious of any that
has occurred during the present session,
The lines are being rigidly drawn, and it
is difficult at this time to predict what fate
the measure will meet. The bill viii prob
ably come up before the house on Wednes-
day of this week if the legislative appro-
priation bill be disposed of in the interim
1t is believed that the majority either for
or against the measure will be small The
republicans will oppose it almost unani-
mously, although some of the representa-
tives of that party from the extreme west
and northwest are disposed to re gard it

Battle With Train Robbers.

Ell RENO, Okla, May 23.-Two men,
supposed to be members of the Dalton
gang of train robbers, passed through FL
Reno travelling eastward. The sheriff tel
egraphed to Yukon to intercept them. A
posse was organized, and when the train
robbers made their appearance they were
attacked. The defense was as hot as the
attack, and running fight ensued A man
named Parish was shot in the groin, the
bullet passing entirely through him He
is not expected to live. An old man named
Nelson was shot in the forehead, but not
dangerously. A number of other persons
were wounded more or less in the slkirmish,
among them a man named Snyder, who
was shot in the face and will die. One of
the robbers was shot off his horse and cap
tured, but resisted to the last, and several
of his captOrs bear cuts and bruises on the
head where he beat them with his six
shooter The other robber made good his
escape, but is supposed to have been hit
two or three times,

M'CLAVE hard PRESSED
Sensational New York Po-
lice Investigation.

New YORK, May 23.-The case of Police
Commissioner McClave before the senate
investigating committee has brought forth
several sensations. His eX-son-in-law,
Gideon Granger, who testified Monday
that McClave had received money i'll con-
siderable sums for getting men on the pO-
lice force and for having policemen pro-
NOTED, and was denounced as drunkard,
forger and thief by McClave during fit
Of rage, has mysteriously disappeared, al
though he promised the committee faith
fully that he would be on hand to con-
tinue his testimony,
When Granger failed to respond to the
call of his name McClave resumed the
stand. He declared that he was worth
800 900 and that he was worth that
amount at the time he was appointed po-
lice commissioner. He said he made his
fortune in 16 years. Said he owned n coun-
try seat besides city property; kept six
servants, two carriage horses, riding
horse for his daughter, two horses at his
country residence and 30 horses for his
lumber business. He said he did not own
yacht but rowboat instead.
= Lawyer Golf asked Mr. McClave if he
did not secure a position for Granger after
the he knew of his doings
The witness hesitated a little and then
said he did Odd you not recommend
him also for a position in the postoflice
knowing he was a forger"
Mr.. McClave got excited at this ques-
tion. 81 heard" shouted he, that Gran
ger had reformed and | tried to do the best
could for him"
Lawyer Goff, after making the witness
admit that he had evidence of his son-in-
laws forgeries in his possession for four
years, asked him if it was not fact that
he had put him in as secretary of the
Yankee White Manufacturing company
when he knew he was forgerS
Mr.. McClave admitted he did in the
hope of reforming him.
GLOW much do you make n year in your
business" asked Mr. Goff.
'Ordinarily an average of S52, 600 to $780,
900. made sl13, 600 in the year 1892"
"For how long"
For the past eight or ten years"
'And yet you say you were as rich the
day you became police commissioner as
you are now"
''Yes sir that's what / say"
Mr.. Golf asked the witness if he knew
whether a warrant had been issued for the
apprehension of Granger. Mr. McClave
replied that he had no such knowledge
but that Mr. Nicoll (his lawyer had d
vised him to procure a warrant
After tilt with Mr.. Nicoll Mr.. Goff said
he wanted Granger to testify as badly as
Mr. Nicoll and added: 81 will ask Mr.
McClave to instruct Supt. Byrnes to secure
Granger"
Mr. McClave said he would go personal
ly and see the superintendent. II will ask
him, he said TO put every man he can
spare on Granger's tracks,
After adjournment Mr., McClave went to
police headquarters and asked Supt.
byrnes to send out detectives to arrest
Granger The same request came from
the senate investigating committee and
officers were at once detailed TO look for tho
missing witness.

loss IN THE MILLIONS
Estimate Of Damage Done
By the Big Flood.

PHILADELPHIA, May 23.-Now that
teiegraphic communication has been re-
stored to all points in the state an estimate
of the damage done by the flood of the past
three days can be made Although the
rivers and streams were swollen to nearly
as great heights as in the flood of 1889, the
destruction wrought by the waters was not
nearly so great as the inundation of five
years ago Residents of the river towns
learned dreadful lesson from the 1889
flood, and when the water began to rise
this time they were prompt to remove
themselves and thoir effects to places OF
safety and thus the destruction is much
less than 1t would have been If the over
flowing of the rivers had not been needed.
The railroads also suffered less in none
tary way than in the 1889 flood. They also
learned lesson at that time that bore
fruit in more strongly constructed road
beds and the substitution of iron bridges
for many OF the flimsy wooden structures
that were washed away.
Losses in the Millions
Although not approaching in destruc-
tiveness the flood of 1889 the spring freshet
of 1894 will be long remembered and the
state will not recover for many day from
the loss that has been inflicted upon prop
erty. What this loss will be it is difficult
ut this time to even approximate, as every
place is prone to eXaggerate the loss that
has been inflicted. Still, it will take mil
lions of dollars to repair the destruction
and cover the loss in stoppages of mills and
the wages of workmen.
Reports from all parts OF the state show
with the exception of Johnstown that the
flood is going down, At Johnstown it
rained heavily again last night and fresh
torrents are pouring down from the noun
tain and again swelling the Conemaugh
and threatening another overflow.
Lumbermen Suffered Heavily.
Williamsport has emerged from beneath
the.water and taken an account of the dam
age done. Though many houses were
flooded to tie second floor but practically
little property in the city itself is de-
stroyed. The greatest loss was by the
breaking away of the great log boom with
It's millions of feet of lumber This and
the subsequent stoppage of the sawmills
in the vicinity for the summer work will
raise the loss in that city and Lycoming
county to about 50, 600, coo.
Lock Haven was also badly washed out
and there, as at Williamsport, the greatest
loss resulted from the breaking away of the
log booms. Many people at Lock Haven
were driven from their homes from Sun
day until last night but no lives were lost.
Few Fatalities.
The few casualties all through the state
resulting from the flood is a fact particu-
larly to be rejoced at. A dozen deaths
from drowning will cover the loss of life
from the freshet.
The railroads were badly washed out but

Tariff Bill Better Than the

WASHINGTON, May 23,-During the
eight hours session of the senate yester-
day eight items of the metal schedule
were disposed of-the most important of
them being that which puts iron ore on the
dutlable list at the rate of 40 cents ton.
This item had been discussed for the
greater part of two days and was eventual
ly agreed to without division, and by a
practically unanimous vote-a proposition
to make the rate 60 cents a ton having been
laid on the table-32 to 2l This result
was not reached until after couple of
hours discussion in which a good many
bitter remarks were exchanged between
the opposite sides of the chamber
The most noticeable speech of the day
was one made by Mr.. Teller (rep., COLI,
in which he discountenanced the practice
of taunting democratic senators with in
consistency. They had explained, he said,
the cause of their inconsistency, and their
defence was absolute and perfect. He de-
clared that he would join them in putting
the bill through, in the best possible shape
that the bill was ample for the protection
of American industries, and that it was a
better bill than he had expected, or than
any which the republican side of the cham
ber had hoped to get. The senate adj
