Illegal Voting.

A complsint was filed In the police
court yesterday. charging Arthur E.
Adams with illegal voting at the last
city election and also at the November
election. Adams has been wrongfully
kept in jail for a week without being
given an opportunity to clear himself.
He cannot read or write. and the officers
seem to have taken undue advantage of
the fact. His alleged crime consists in
his voting in the precinct in which he
was registered but where be had not
lived the required 80 days.

A PECULIAR CASE.
UNKNOWN NAN ARRESTED 4TNEW MARTINS
WILLIE ON SUSPICION
OF Being a Pos!ofica Robber-Ths Prisoner De-
clinss to Give His Nams-Articles Found
il bis Possession.

Constable John Francis, Of New Mar
tinsvllle, made an arrest yesterday,
which may prove to be very important.
A man, known in that city as John Roe,
was found buying merchandise ~ith
postage stamps, and the officer placed
him under arrest as suspicious char
acter. Postmaster 0'kane, OF Wheel
ing, was notified, and the case was
placed in the hands OF Inspector ). L.
HoOten. Mr. HOOten, accompanied by
Deputy U. S. Marshal A. D. Garden,
went down TO New Martinsville yester-
day morning, aud brought the prisoner
up on the noon train.
The man absolutely refused 10 give
his name or any information concerning
himself. He is intelligent and appar-
emily well educated. He is about the
average height, thin gray hair, aud
gray beard. When arrested he wore a
dark suit and slouch hat. His shoes are
much worn, and be wears no socks.
The irock coat is closely buttoned, as
he has only an undeUshirt. His hands
are sore and badly cut up, due, he says,
to washing them in copperas water.
When the prisoner was searched
miscellaneous assortment OF articles
were found, but nothing to give clue
10 his identity. He had a case contain
lug stamps OF all denominations, gold
sleeve and collar buttons, pens and pen
points, five pairs of spectacles,
brushes, pocketbooks, needles and
thread, ribbon aud triakets OF every
description-just the sort Of stuff which
might have been secured in ro6bing q
country poStoffice and general store.
He also carried lot Of blank paper.
On two sheets were excellent pen
sketches, which prove him to be an ar
tist of no mean ability.
A REGISTER reporter questioned him,
but be declined TO give any information
concerning himself. He was apparent
ly frank and courteous, but very adroit,
in his replies. His explanations OF his
reasons for carrying the articles found
upon him were very ingenious. lie said
he was looking for work upon a news
paper, or making pen sketches, and
generously offered the reporter a com
mission OF fifty per ceD! upon all work
secured for him.
United States Commissioner B. j.
Campbell held the prisoner, under sec
tion 547S of the L. S. statutes, charging
him with entering or attempting TO en-
ter postoflice with the intent to COM
nit burglary. The hearing was con-
tinued until the 2Sth inst. In the mean
time, evidence against the man may be

Giving Evidence Against the Carnegie
Company.
WASHINGToN, d. c., June 19.--In.
former Sill to-day resumed his general
narrative 10 the Congressional Investi
eating Committee of the Armor plate
frauds at the Carnegie works. For
three days he has been engaged with
Chairman Cummings Of the Committee
/ In identifying specific falsifcaIions OF
reports made by perintendent Cline.
/ This Identification IS now complete and
/ in the aggregate presents startling
array OF detailed irregularities. Sill
! identified Superintendent Cine's hand
writing on the various falsifed reports
and gave the names OF w. L. Corrie and
| c. II. Craig and others who could further
/ Identify the writing. Sill was then eX-
amined on the explanatory letter
written by General Superintendent
! Schwab. Of the Carnegie Works.
The Letters stated that the
} iniormerS had shown minor Irregular
Ties in the worst possible light Sill
answered TO this that the reports he
had identified spoke for themselves.
The Schwab letter further alleged that
| a few discOntented workmen had con-
spired 10 injure the company. Sill de-
MED that there was conspiracy. He
said the men were discontented with
| Superintendent Cline. Sill further re-
! futed Schwab's statement that the in-
| formers were men who had come in
| during the big strike al the Carnegie
works in the hope OF getting enormous
wages. Sill said be was employed in
the Carnegie works before the strike,
| and was one OF those who did not 20
out OF the many men who had given
| information to the government, only
three of them had entered the employ
Of the company during the strike, and
only two were members of tBe Anal
gamated Association OF Iron Steel

islatlon, encountered opposition on the
Republican side, as IL had on several
previous DAYS. Mr.. AlleC said that II
was not strange TO him that those who

as impose no import duty on such pro-
ducts exported from the United States.
The finance committee also agreed 10
Mr.. AusOn's request so place eggs on
the dUtiabIs list at three cents per
dozen. An amendment was agreed TO
raising the duty on photographic prints
from - TO 45 cents per pound according
to thickness.
The free list was then taken up. The
Finance Committee amendment permit
ting the free entry of cattle, sheep or
domestic animals aud their increase
which have straysd across the bounda-
~, or been driven across for paSturaSe,
was agreed 20. Mr.. Jones explained
that the provision was intended only TO
apply % Mexican borders. Apples,
green, dried, ETC., heretofore placed on
the dutiable list were stricken from the
free list. The committee amendment
striking from the free list beef, mutton
and pork which have been placed on
the dutiable list at % per cent was
agreed TO. Mr.. PETER moved to also
strike out bacon and hams" The et-
feet OF amendment would be TO make

ding MANILA twine 10 the paragraph
