GAVE FALSE FIGURES.
Ii Testing Machine Used by the Carnegi
f.n1nnanv So nTanirnlrIated

Il Testing Machine Used by the Carnegie
Company So Manipulated.
WASHINGTON, June 9.-Lieut. Albert
Ackerman, of the United States navy,
was heard yesterday by the house COM
mittee on armor plate frauds. He was
one of the naval board which investi-
gated the first charges of fraud. His
evidence covered in detail the irreg-
ularities in treating specific armor
plates. He had heard that Su-
perintendent Schwab and other
officials and employees had an interest
in the Carnegie company, and had,
therefore, motive in passing plates
not up to the standard. Lieut.. AclKer-
man told of the manner in which his
suspicious had been excited as to the
irregularity of the work. He found
that certain lines of work would be
stopped when he entered a shop. One
of the superintendents, Mr.. Kline, had
misled him on various details of the
work.
His general distrust of the manner OF
making armor at the Carnegie works
had influenced him to look with sus-
picion on every plate. His own expert
ence and the affidavits of informers had
corroborated these suspicious, and he
had assessed damages against the COM
pany as result of his own knowledge
and his suspicious.
Lieut.. Aclxerman told of the investi-
CATION of the second or supplemental
charges. This testimony developed
new branch Of irregularity as to the
manipulation of a testing machine
used by the Carnegie company. The
machine was operated so as to
give false figures. Disclosures were
also made as to serious defects in
two plates of the Monterey and one in
the Machias Lieut.. Ackerman said
blowholes were positive defect and
could be avoided. In this opinion his
statement differed from other naval
officers The witness described the
serious blowhole in 13-inch armor of
the Monterey. A wire feet long had
been inserted in the hole.

LAST oF elLL DALTON.

The Notorious Outlaw shot and lnetautly
Killed by an oaicer in the Indian Terri
tory.
PAR1s, Tex, June e.-After a contin.
nous cnase Of over three weeks. the
Longview bank robbers were rounded
up near Ardmore. I. III, yesterday. and
Bill Dalton, the notorious outlaw. train
and bank robber, was killed by the oti.
GERS in their efforts to arrest him
It had been given out that the pur-
suit had been abandoned, but the mys-
teri0us movements around the Office of
United States Marshal Williams showed
that he was in the possession of val
liable information. Monday night he
left here with several trusted deputies
for point on the Canadian river.
1t transpires now that on Monday
two men went to Duncan, i. T., a town
on the Rock Island railroad and made
a number of purchases. They paid for
the articles in bills on the looted bank.
The bills looked to be new, but they
had been wet and creased. A tele-
gram was sent to Longview giving the
number of the bills, and the answer
promptly came that they were the
missing bills. Officers were posted at
once, and went on their trail.
Thursday a man and two women
went to Ardmore and bought lot of
guns, ammunition and other things.
They were in the wagon purchased by
the two men at Duncan on Monday.
The man had plenty of money He
was known there as worthless fellow,
who never had cent. An officer
peered into the wagon, found five
gallon keg of whisky, and arrested the
man and woman as whisky peddlers,
and held them.
A strong detachment of officers inn
mediately took the back track of the
wagon, and yesterday found Dalton.
He was taken by surprise but made an
effort to fight, but the officers were too
quick for him and shot him dead. In
strnctions were sent from the marshal's
Office last night to have the body en-
balmed, ss there is reward of several
thousand dollars on Dalton's head. The
deputies who killed him wired they
have positive proof that it is Bill Dali
ton, and that he committed the rob-
berry.
Bill Dalton was the third son i'll
family of ten children. He, with his
brothers, Bob and Graf, killed at Cof-
feyville, October 5, 1892, and Emmett,
now in the Kansas penitentiary made a
record of crime not second even to that
of the James and Younger brothers.
They viii probably never again have
equals in this country. The march of
civilization will prevent the opportun-
ity.
The Daltons were Missourians by
birth, but moved to Kansas, settling
near Coffeyville in their youth. They
bore but mediocre regulations as out
laws until in October, 1892. Grat, Bob
and Emmett Dalton, Dick Broadwell
and Bill Powers attempted to loot the
Condor and First national banks at
Coffeyville. The raid resulted in the
death of four citizens, the serious
wounding of three others, the killing
of Graf and Bob Powers and Bl-adwell,
and the wounding and capture of Ern-

TRADE REVIEW.

Dun's Weekly Report Makes Somewhat OF
a ISetter Showing for Business.
NEW YORK. June ar. G.. Dun's
Weekly Review OF Trade SAYS:
The outlook for business seems little better
on the whole, though the Improvement is not
great. Moreover. it is impossible to distinguish
between mere replacement OF orders cancelled
for want of fuel and other causes and the new
business for which works are anxiougly look
ing. It Is somewhat encouraging that the de-
crease in payments through clearing houses is
but 24.3 per cent. for the first week of June,
27.2 at New York. but only 1914 elsewhere The
decrease in comparison with 1892 is about 30
per cent.
Railroad tonnage is larger than year ago in
live stock and moderate in cereals but con-
siderably smaller IN coal and iron products and
in other manufactured goods westbound.
Speculation in products has turned toward
higher prices, and wheat has risen cents with
an Official state report OF injury in Kansas,
which is high favored enough even for farm
ers alliances. The actual receipts at western
ports have been I.147092 bushels, against 2.34s.-
391 last year, and the Atlantic exports only
rose 251 cents, partly in mere sympathy. but
with more substantial accounts OF injury, the
western receipts having been 2,Sd5. .4J9 bushels
against 3,545.291 last year.
Other industries have been less affected. bat
many Of the textile mills even in New En-
gland have now been closed for lack OF fuel or
of orders. beside other concerns in great num-
Der between the Atlantic and the Mississippi
river. A report that the cotton mills have this
year produced within per cent OF their full
capacity does not correspond with the known
takings Of spinners, but If true, indicates
production far in advance OF the demand for
consumption. The market for goods is dull
and weak with further reduction in price and
with stocks accommodating.
The returns of failures are still encouraging,

THE MUTUAL AND BELL.
The Change VIII BE Made About the
First of January-How the Matter
Now Stands.

The amalgamation of the Bell and
Mutual telephone companies is an as.
sured fact, and the consolidation will
likely take place on January LIST. Ar.
engagements to this end are now being
made, and everything will likely be in
readiness for the turnover" on the date
mention d.
Some weeks ago. as will be remom-
bcred, the Mutual Company held a
meeting aud agreed upon basis for the
purchase of the plant and fixtures,
stock, etc, of the Bell Company. The
proposition was to give the STOCKHOLM
ers of the Bell Company 100000 of
the Mutual stock for their total interest.
| On this basis the capital stock of the
Mutual Company was to be increased
from $40, 600 to $l5O,OOO. The price of
single telephone will be increased fifty
cents per month, but the other line will
be disposed OF and great deal OF an
noyance and expense saved the COM
munity.
~
ing Monday morning to consider this
proposition. However, it is practically
accepted already, the stockholders hav-
ing heretofore, before the basis was
reached by the Mutual Company, agreed
to this proposition. Therefore the APP
preaching meeting will not effect the
case in the least.
One difficulty lying in the way Of a
final transaction within the next few
days, however, is the absence from the
city of officers and large shareholders of
the Mutual Company. II. A. Wild
emann, the president, c. r. Bishop,
vice-president, ana c. O. Berger, secre
tary and treasurer, are all out of the
country at the present time. The only
officers of the Mutual Company availa-
ble are w. f. Allen, the auditor, and
Mr.. Aungst, in so far as his executive
authority extends, the manager.
Speaking of the matter Wednesday
afternoon n prominent stakeholder of
the Mutual Company stated that there
could hardly now be a hitch
in the consolidation proceedings.
With regard to the matter of officers
he stated that the Mutual Company
would, if Messrs. Widemann and
Berger did not return soon, proceed to
elect new officers. There is determin-
alton all along the line to consumate
the scheme of c, nsolidation and the
matter of officers, under the above ex-
preston of opinion, will amount to
little with the Mutual Company. Some
change of details, may, however, result
from Mondays meeting.
