In speaking Of the matter he said:

WAR AT ECONOMY.

Members OF the Society Have Serious
Encounter in Which the Crutch Figures
as Weapon.
Pittsburg, Pa, July 10.-Shortly after
9 O'Clock last night the village of Econo-
my was awakened by disturbance at
the residence of John 8. Duss. senior
trustee Of the Economite society. A
desperate assault was made upon Mr..
Duss, and but for the timely arrival Of
assistance Mr.. Duss would probably
have suffered seriously. The assailant
is John Weggle, a resident of Economy
and very prominent witness In the
big law suit in which Mr.. Duss IL in
vOlved. 1t Is alleged that Weggle had
demanded that $4,000 be paid him else
he would oppose Duss management of
the affairs Of the society.
Last night Weggle called at Duss'
residence and again demanded the S5,-
600. When refused Weggle struck Duss
In the face with his crutch. dazing him
for moment. Weggle then began an
attack upon Mrs. Duss threw her to
the floor. and was just in the act OF
trampling her when fourth party ar
rived and grabbed Weggle in time to
prevent serious injury to Mrs. Duss.
Mr.. Duss, having recovered. attacked
Weggle, dealing him several blows and
rendering his assailant powerless. weg-
gle was then fScibly elected from the
house.
Weggle's story IS that Duss attacked
him and beat him severely with his own
crutch. Duss has charged Weggle with
assault and battery before a Beaver,
Pa, squire.

ENDEAV0RERS At THE HUB
Train Loads Of Delegates Arrive in
Classic Boston.
HEARTY RECEPTION ACCORDED
The Visitors Are Met Mt Railroad Stations
by Crowds Of Enthusiastic Ad.
mircrs as Wei! as Rcsep.
tiOu Committees.

Boston. July 10.-With the earliest
trains and boats, almost with the ris-
Ing of the sun. the great army OF Chris
tian EndeavOrers began to pour into
the city today in way which utterly
threw into the shade any previous in
f1ux OF visitors to any convention.
Singly or in parties of two or three on
the regular cars; In parties of fifty or
hundred In special cars attached to
the regular trains, and In great delega-
tlons numbering several hundreds on
special trains, they came pouring
steadily into the stations and under
the skilful direction of the reception
committee. melting away on the cars
and through the streets on the way to
their quarters.
They came from every part of the
country, from Maine to California
Texas sent in her delegation, and so
Gid the Canadian provinces, and no
hamlet seemed too small and insignifi-
cant to send some one to the great
meeting. The forces of the reception
committee were more than twice as
large as yesterday, and they developed
the greatest activity in directing the
delegates to their quarters and making
them welcome. There were also dele
cations from the Christian union,
which gave their aid in the work.
The effect Of the great influx on the
railroads was easily perceptible. Even
the local trains almost all ran an extra
car or two, and nearly all Of the trains
coming from any distance added two
or three outside of the specials which
| they might have put on for amy solid
delegation. There was also great
| deal Of delay In the running time of
most Of the roads. especially In the
trai's coming from the west. which
Were usually several hours late.
An Express in Sections.
The st. Louis and Chicago express
due to arrive at the Union station at
1920 was run In three sections, the
| first OF which was two hours, the sec
ond three hours and forty-five min
utes, and the third four hours and for
ty-tive minutes late. The trains from
the north came in a little better being
only about an hour late, as rule The
platforms of the stations were crowded,
not SO much with the arriving dele
| gates as with those who had come down
to meet them, and the arrivals had in
! almost every case to walk up the sta
tion between two solid walls Of people.
AS on yesterday, the largest number of
arrivals was at the Union station.
Small delegations kept coming in all
day. AT l o'clock a long train came in
from over the 500" line, bringing
about 200 delegates. mostly from On
tario and Illinois. Close after this
came train Of five sleepers. This was
the first section of the St. Louis and
Chicago express. having on board 40
delegates from Wisconsin. There are
$50 in the whole delegation, but the
others were on the section which was
an hour behind. They had a pleas
ant trip and seemed in good spirits as
they marched up the platform, escort
ed by a large body of the reception
committee.

OMAHA'S TRUNK TRAGEDY.


Witness Found Who Saw the Corpse
Carried from tho House.
Omaha. July l0.-The police today
discovered the manner In which the
body Of John Seljan was taken from
the room in which he was butchered
last week to the river. The three mur-
derers carried the body through town
In q banana cart. They were seen by
Thomas Kinney. a Union Pacific engi-
neer. Two Of the men were walking
eoma distance ahead, and looking
around. as II to give warning II they
should happen to come upon any be-
lated pedestrians. The third man was
pushing the cart at as rapid a pace as
possible.
1t was the contents Of the cart that
struck the engineer as being peculiar.
1t contained some object wrapped in a
heavy blanket which completely con-
cealed It. Kinney was at once struck
with the resemblance which the object
bore to a human body. The object was
too long for the cart. and extended two
feet over the front end. This clears up
the last mystery in connection with the
horrible affair.

QUAY'S Personal FIGHT.

1t Began in Philadelphia but Senator
Quay Has Involved the Entire State
In II.
Philadelphia, July 1O.-The charge
which Senator Quay and his friends are
making concerning the attitude of
Mayor Warwick and National Commit
teeman David Martin. of Philadelphia,
is that they are political ingrates. The
very baselessness of this charge is
shown In the fact that this whole con-
test in the Republican party was preci-
plated by Senator Quay because his
candidate for mayor Of PHILADELPHIA,
the Hon. Boies Penrose, did not receive
the nomination.
Mayor Warwick Is under no obliga-
tions to Senator Quay, and never has
been. On the contrary, Senator Quay
did everything he possibly could to de.
feat his nomination and election. AS
for National Committeeman Martin
the charge that he IL a political migrate
Is as baseless as the other. It was Mr.
Martin who helped to make Senator
Quay In Philadelphia. He was his
staunch friend for years. but when he
saw fit to give his influence to Charles
F. Warwick as his candidate for mayor
nothing Is too bad for. Senator Quay
and his friends to charge against Mr.
Martin.

MINISTER ATTEMPTS MURDEl
Sends an Internal Machine to Woman
Who Had Tilted Him.


Who Mad Tilted Him.
Tacoma. Wash. July 10.-Mrs. Matte
Chambers, of Centralia, has received
an Internal machine. Her father says
the box containing the machine was ad-
dressed to her by. Rev. B. F.. Fuller, a
Christian church minister. who was
jtlted by Mrs. Chambers about a year
ago and was last heard of at Raleigh,
N. c. The machine consisted Of box
made to hold physician's thermome-
ter with a piece of sandpaper under
the lid. A Illuminating cap, parlor
match and a bit or rubber band were so
arranged as to ignite the match and
cap and cause a large dynamite bomb
just beneath the cover to explode when
the lid was withdrawn.
A country posftmaster's curiosity pro-
badly saved the woman's life. as he
pried open the box when he saw the
end of sandpaper protruding.
