HAVE NEW EVIDENCE.
Prominent Young Woman at Wells
boro, Pa, Arrested on
Serious Charge.

WeIIsboro, Pa, Aug. A0.-The mystery
surrounding the death on May II last
of Miss Elizabeth Knapp was partially
cleared last night by the arrest of Miss
Charlotte Dutton, alias Howell, on a
warrant charging her with murder.
Miss Knapp, who made her home in
the family or Chauncey Howell, becanfe
suddenly i'll on May is and died the fol-
lowing day. She maintained up to the
last that she had been poisoned. The
coroner's jury made an investigation and
finally rendered a verdict that "the de-
ceased came to her death. by corrosive
poison administered either by herself
or some unknown person." Miss
knapp's friends were not satisfied with
the verdict and sought the aid of the
Wilkinson detective agency of New York
TO assist in ascertaining how Miss Knapp
met her death.
The detectives worked for six weeks
on the case and secured evidence to war
rant the arrest of Miss Dutton. Miss
button has been living in the family of
Howell also. 1t is charged by the
friends of Miss Knapp that she was
jealous of the latter and took this means
to get rid of her. When the alleged Grim
inal was taken to Jail she feigned insanity.
There are two other mysterious deaths
which will probably be charged to Miss
DuttOn. Shortly after her appearance
at the Howell residence the latters wife
died under peculiar Circumstances Not
long after his wifes death a young son
died with symptoms of poisoning and it
is alleged that both were poisoned by
the alleged wife of Howell

riot between whites and blacks was mar
rowly averted here last night. 1t was
given out in colored churches during the

to the Jail, where they remained for sew
eral hours. They were armed with pis-
tolls and guns.
Mayor Gray went to the Jail, assured
the negroes there was no danger of lynch
ing and begged them to disperse. Sheriff
Macarthur and two of Winston's lawyers
also addressed the negroes, assuring them
there was on danger of lynching. Judge
Brown who is holding court, notified the
negroes that they We're violating the law,
telling them that futile should have a
fair trial and that he would be responsible
for Tuttle's protection. The negroes said
they would leave if allowed to put a
guard of twenty men around the pail.
This was done. but many of the mob
refused to go away. Sheriff Macarthur
then ordered out the Forsythe rifles. be-
sides a number of deputies who were
sworn in. Judge Brown also instructed
the sheriff to arrest those who did not
leave.
The mob began firing on the officers.
several of whom were struck with small
bird shot, but none seriously wounded.
The rifemen fired several volleys into the
crowd, causing the negroes to dispense III
quick order. Fourteen of the rioters
were arrested by officers and put in jail.

BIG FIRE IN PHILADELPHIA
Box Factory, Gas Fixture Plant and
Several Dwellings Are
Burned.

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug PA fire
which did damage amounting to between
$350,000 and 100000 started in the big
hve-story building occupied by Brown &
Bailey as paper box factory this morn
ing, and before the flames were got I'M
der control the big gas fixture establish
ment of Buck & Co., adjoining. and q
half dozen dwellings which surrounded
the two factories were laid in ashes.
The FIRE originated on the first floor
of the building occupied by Brown &
Bailey at 412 Franklin street at $50
O'Clock, but it was nearly 8 o'clock before
an engine had responded to the alarm.
The delay proved disastrous, as the in
hammable matter in the box factory was
a mass of flames before the fremen ar
rived. Then they turned their attention
to saving the adjoining buildings, but
the supply of water was Inadequate and
it looked for a time as if the whole block
bounded by Franklin, Eighth, Willow and
Callowhill streets would be swept away.
The fremen worked heroically until II 40
when the fire was got under control.
The principal losers are Brown & Bal
ley and Buck & Co. The formers loss
will reach S150,000. with an insurance
of 100000; Buck & Co.'S loss is be-
tween 100000 and $4,000. with an in
surance of between $4,000 and $780,

about $4,000, while the loss on the
burned dwellings will reach nearly $780,

Report OF Rapid Trip Across the Pa
cific is Denied, However.
San Francisco, CAL, Aug. 12.-The
navy department has evidently deter
mined to ascertain if the Columbia is
the fastest of American warships and
has assigned the honor of competition
to the cruiser Olympia. The Olympia
will soon go to join the Asiatic squadron
and the department has ordered that she
shall try to make an ocean record as far
as Honolulu at least and possibly across
the Pacific. Local naval officers inter
pref the order to mean that the govern
ment wishes to break the worlds rec
ord made by the Columbia recently with
an average speed of over Is knots an
hour from Southampton to New York.
Washington D. c., Aug. Pit is
stated at the war department that there
have been no orders given to the Olym-
pia to make rapid trip across the Pa
cific, or even part of the way, and it
is probable that the report originated in
the talk of the officers, who assert that
the Olympia is as fast as the Columbia.
At the navy department it is said that
the Olympia is to remain on the Asiatic
station for five years and that the de-
partment would not risk an injury to
her by sending her at full speed across
the Pacific

ILLINOIS TOWN BURNS.
Chicago Sends Fire Engines Thirty
Miles Down the Line of
the Alton.

Chicago, AL, Aug. 10.-Lockport, Ill
is on fire and aid has been sent from
here. A special train with fire engines
left for there this afternoon. Twenty
two houses are burning.
AT 300 p. M. a business block and
twenty-five houses had been burned. The
fire started at IL 30 a. 10. and, owing to
the lack of water and everything being
dry, spread rapidly. The indica tons at
1900 were that the whole town was
doomed.
Workmen tarring the roof of the Phoe-
nix printing office accidentally started the
fire In five minutes it was beyond con-
troll. Joliet was called on for help, but a
fire there prevented any aid being extend
cd and Chicago was then called upon.
The town of Lockport is situated in
Will county, ILL.,, on the big drainage canal
end has population of 1000. 1t is about
thirty-twO miles from Chicago and five
miles from Joliet. 1t contained eight
a large flour mill, four carriage shops and
various other enterprises.
Since the beginning Of work on the big
canal, the town has grown considera-
bly,. Part of today's disaster is the de-
structon of the postoffice and town hall,
including all the records. A strong wind
blows the flames SO that the entire city
GllNelOlou. Lie people became
panic-stricken and hurriedly began NOV
ing to the hills a mile from the city.
LockpOrt has no fire department. and there
was but one hOsecart in the town.
The engines sent from Chicago were
given the quickest run possible over the
Chicago 4 Alton road 70 the stricken
town. Wires between Chicago and Lock
port both telegraph and telephone, went
down shortly before o'clock and there
seems to be but little doubt that the place
is almost, if not quite. destroyed. Officials
of the drainage board expressed fears
that there would be little or nothing left
of the town by the time help could ar
rive from other cities
At 2:lO p. III. a telephone message by
way of Joliet announced that thirty
buildings had burned and it was estimat-
ed that the loss had reached 100000.
Fire engines from Chicago were then
playing on tie fire and the Chicago fire
men were also tearing houses down. The
marshal said he thought they would have

JACKSON'S SUCCESSOR.
Believed that the Supreme Bench
Appointment will Go to

Washington. D. c., Aug 9.-The Presi-

intentions to leave the bench as soon as
an act could be passed through Congress
authorizing his retirement, has probably

thought, but there are no ca binet officers
IN town or anyone who has talked with
Mr.. Cleveland on the subject.
Justice JacksOn's district was the
Sixth, including Michigan, Ohio, Ken,
lucky and Tennessee, and as it has been
the practice to select resident of the
district III which the vacancy exists, Don
NJ. Dickinson is widely mentioned for
the honor. Secretary Carlisle is also
suggested as the probable successor
The secretary of the treasury has aspired
to sit upon the Supreme bench, but there
are many reasons to be urged against
his nomination, and it is very doubtful
whether he could secure confirmation,
as the Republican senator's would be
unit against him, and with the POpulists,
who are opposed to him because of his
monetary views, and Senator Black
burn, who had grievance, they would
have a majority of the Senate against
him.
When the last vacancy occurred upon
the Supreme bench Mr.. Cleveland made
two attempts to secure the confirmation
of New Yorker, but owing to the Oppo>
sition of Senator Hill, both Mr.. Horn
blower and Peckham were rejected. As
it is known that the President is desir-
Gus of placing q New Yorker on the
bench. the chances for denomination OF
one of these two lawyers are considered
good. James G. Garter of New York OF
the Behring sea arbitration and Freder>
lex r. Coudert of New York are also
suggested for the vacancy.

WELDING COPPER AND IRON.
Pittsburg Men Think They Have Discov.
cred Lost Art.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 12.-Thc Car
negie Steel company is not enthusiastic
over the alleged discovery by three steel
workers of the lost art of welding cop
per to iron or steel. George Crowley,
Cornelius Shay and John Ryan have
submitted samples of their work to the
Carnegie company, but they have not
proven that the welding can be done
upon a commercial basis so as to make
it profitable. Chairman Leishman of the
Carnegie company stated today that the
company had not taken up the matter
and that no experiments would be made
at their mills. AS matter of fact, cop
per-lined plate would only be of use on
salt water, and then it would be avail
able only if manufactured at price
which would warrant shipbuilders in us
ing it upon merchant ships. As for coy
ering armor plates with copper, Mr..
Leishman stated that such a thing would
never be done. 1t would only be of use
il preventing corrosion and there is so
little of the armor plate below the water
line that the company had offered the
men fixed price for their discovery
