ent luncture OF their pressing needs,
as you show them to be.
Your suggestion that the work
should be divided so that a suf-
ficient number of our employees
should be put on half time, in order
to give at least half time work for
all, was tried last winter. The re-
suit has been that the gross earn
ings of various individual en-
ployes were so small as to give an
erroneous impression with reference
to the sutiiciency of the rate of the
wages. The policy of the company
is now ID employ only as many men
as it is possible to furnish work for
on full time.
ASKED TO MAKE A VISIT.
TO this the governor replied sub
stantially:
| see that your company refuses
to do anything toward relieving the
situation at Pullman. If you will
make the rounds | made, go into
the houses of these people, meet
them face to face and talk with
them, you will be convinced that
none of them had 81, 800, or any
other sum of money, a few weeks
ago.
1t is not my business to fix the
moral responsibility in this case.
There are nearly 5000 people suf-
fering for the want of food-they
were your employes-four- -fifths o.
them are women and children
Some of these people have worked
for you more than ten years.
| assumed that even if they were
wrong and had been foolish, you
would not be willing to see them
perish. | also assumed that as the
state had Just been to Il large ex.
pense to protect your property you
would not want to have the public
shoulder the burden of relieving the
distress in your own town. AS you
refused to do anything to relieve
the suffering in this case | am com
pelled to appeal to the public to
do so.
GOOD WORDS FOR PULLMAN.
Several of the witnesses examined
by the strike commission to-day
gave testimony more favorable tc
the Pullman company than that
which had previously been heard
Frank W. Glover, a real estate
agent, said he considered the Pull
man houses at S1S and $40 month
really cheaper than $12 a month
houses in surrounding towns The
Pullman houses were well equipped
and beautifully located, he said, and
rents were not, in his opinion, toe
high. In reply to query of Com
missioner Wright, he denied that
he was in any way connected with
the Pullman company.
Paul. f. Hermes, Il news dealer,
who formerly worked in the Pull
man shops, said he did not place
much faith in the complaints of the
men. Their trouble. he thought
was largely due to fondness for
beer. All the saloon keepers in the
surrounding towns had grown rich,
and large number of Kensington
beer wagons were well supported by
the Pullman employees. Of real
estate values he knew little, but did
not believe that Pullman rents were
unusually high.

THE ERA OF ALUMINIUM.
y Bids Fair to Superscde tho Ages OF
Stone, Bronze and Iron.

Aluminium. which itself possesses high
degree Of specific heat, does not readily alb
so,b heat itself, and thus is not liable TO
the chief objection TO iron buildings in
hot countries. But apart from light deco
rative purposes, such rs balconies, oupolas,
finals and vcrandas, il is as a roofing ma
terial that aluminium should be most well
come to the builder In plates or scales,
two-thirds lighter than copper, uncorroded
BY air and undimmed even by the sulphur
OF London smoke it should make "a roof fit
FOR palace of romance.
The humber elements of health and
comfort In the house, hardly less important
than its external defenses against the
Seather-pipes, cistorns, taps and cutters,
how made Of iron which rusts or lead
which poisons-would be more enduring
and far more healthy il made of this light
aud cleanly metal, which might also take
the place OF all water holding vessels now
made OF heavy brittle earthenware or paint
ed tin. An aluminium bath is among the
probable luxuries of the next century. But
IL Is not as n mere accessory TO comfort and
convenience that real development of the
new metal should lie. IL is for use at sea
that its most marked quality of lghtness
obviously fits it,
The marine engineer and the naval arch-
tect, who are already looking in this direc-
tion for reduction In the weight which is
inseparable from loss OF efficiency, whether
In speed or cargo. cannot neglect the posi-
bilities of metal which, when mixed in
the proportion Of TO 80, gives 10 alumni
ium bronze n hardness and toughness
which make it almost as reliable as steel,
and which, il the proportions could he re-
versed and the strength preserved, would
reduce the weights OF ships and machinery
alike by two-thrds. That is problem
which awaits the metallurgists for solu-
tion. The reduction in cost. judging by
analogy, can only be a question of time and
research.
The best steel now costs little more thar
one-balf pence per pound, while alumni.
um Is 30 times that price. But aluminium
exists In far greater quantities than iron,

The Record Made in One
Day by Millionaire Porter.
SPENT $4,000 FOR IEwELRY.
Miss Clark Given Diamond Brooch
Worth $12,OOO-He Had a Habit Of
Proposing Marriage-Son Produces
His Fathers Letter Book.

STANFORD. Conn, Jan. 10 The hearing
in the case of Timothy II. Porter of this
city was resumed yesterday, and it was
the most sensational day sincL the hearing
was begun. Love letters which had been
written by Porter were offered in evidence.
The original copies could not be secured,
but Porters son Blatchley, who attends
Yale college, secared copies Of them from
q book i'm which Porter had all the letters
he had written copied in.
Letters which were written to Miss
Clark, n teacher in Miss Lows seminary
for girls in this city, and another to Miss
Earle OF Bridgeport, both OF which had
been written by Porter in one day, were
read in court.
In these letters Porter had made pro-
posals Of marriage to the women. One of
the letters, which were of the same ma
ture, was written TO Mrs. Hudson of Bos-
ton.
Counsel for the relatives claimed that
Porter had spent s79,000 for jewelry for
these women. and Attorney Fessenden In
support OF his statement. produced bill
for $1,000 which Porter had paid for a
diamond brooch for Miss Clark.
There were 33 diamonds in the article,
and In a letter which Porter had sent with
the gift he said that each diamond wa
for every one of Miss Clark's years. 1t
appeared that this was a birthday gift
from Porter.
The testimony of Porter's son, Blatch-
ley, was on the line of the other witnesses
on the plaintiffs side, regarding his
fathers peculiar actions. There will be
another hearing on Jan. 81.

The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1894-04-18

This startling disclosure produced a
sensation in the court room yesterday
when Mr.. Boulton of the First national
bank of Chicago was put on the stand
and told what he knew. During all of
last week + was brought out that every
few days the cabinet company would
dump into the bank and secure credit
for a bunch of drafts on its several
branches. Every time a bunch would
be thrown in a check payable to Chi
cago exchange would be drawn for sew
eral thousand dollars. Wonder was
aroused as TO what the company was
doing with so much Chicago exchange,
but yesterday brought to light the
secret. The check bought a draft which
in turn bought another draft on
London bank, and this was paid in the
good hard money Of the indianapolis ma
tional bank to Uncle Elijah Coffin in
London, whose capacity was without
limit and who was prepared TO take care
of all that was sent him. And Uncle
Elijah now has $4,000.
But he is not the only one Of the Coffin
family who has received slice of the
dividends. There is a brother in New

be made available for receiving and

New York and Boston branches looked
little off color from the start and when
the government got to scraping off the
bark yesterday the dealings on this line
looked yellower than ever There is a
banker in New York named ". f. COf-
fin. who is a. brother of F. y Coffin and
=. r. Coffin. He was given a. note in his
wife's name for $1,000 by the cabinet
company. Then the New York and Bos-
ton branches We're sold to employees of
the cabinet company. neither of whom

the medium Of New York attorney
and his clerk. The two branches, which
contained stock sent them by the cabinet
company to the value Of $4,000. were
thus disposed of for s200-and yet some
people wonder that banks fail during a
panic.
The cabinet company had a nice
scheme. It established branch concerns
for convenience and then shipped them
goods from the factory at any price that
happened to come into the minds of the
owners. As soon as these goods were
shipped the cabinet company would
draw on the branch concern for the full
amount or more. as the case might be-
