The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1896-05-30

Saratoga, N. Y, May 2s.-In the gen.
eral assembly this morning the financial
committees report was read by Franklin
Shepherd, Of Philadelphia. This showed
q surplus in the assembly treasury Of
$4,000 on May IL, 1885. The stated
clerk and q statement from the per-
manent clerk. Rev. William e. Moore,
denied the charge that the two clerks
had prepared list Of the committees
In advance and submitted them to the
moderator to help him In making up his
committees, and the moderator added
a word to the same effect. The assemb-
ly applaudsd these statements.
The discussion on the Theological
seminary control was resumed. Judge
Humphrey, Of Louisville, supporting
the report.
DR.. Agnew. Of Philadelphia. offered
a substitute for number Of the reso-
lutions, which suspends the privileges
conferred on the assembly by the oom-
pact Of 1870 The substitute urged the
seminaries to take such steps as would
bring about adoption Of the plan Of
1896 and he announced that the COM
mittee had accepted the substitute as
compromise.
The seminary control report with the
substitute was then adopted unani-
mously.
Winona, Ind, was selected az the
next meeting Of the assembly.
At the afternoon session Dr. Hub
bard. Of Auburn, presented the report
Of the committee on temperance. In.
stead Of the usual prohibition resolu.
ton which has already created de-
bate in the assembly, the report favors
the education of the rising generation
in the true principles Of gospel temper
ance by arousing the conscience to the
evils Of intemperance: assisting in en-
forcing all laws that tend to restrain
and control this gigantic sin and en-
couraging by all proper means the
growth Of healthy public sentiment,
thereby bringing about such changes
In the law as will tend to destroy this
great evil.
1t was recommended also that
each church session should appoint a
permanent committee on temperance
to devise ways and means for uniting
and directing the energy Of the church
against intemperance. .st

HAUNTED BY A VOICE.
Joseph Knecht Driven to Suicide by an
UnearthIy Scream That Rans 10 His
Head for Thirty.five Years.

Wilkes. Barre, May, 29.-An old SOL
dier named Joseph Knecht, living at
Noxen, 73 years old, caused his own
death by taking poison few days ago.
The story is that he purchased ten
cents worth Of arsenic and remarked
that he was going to kill himself, but
nobody believed it. Yesterday he was
found in a barn dead.
In connection with the circumstances
Of Knecht's death, 1t is said that when
he was soldier in the war for the
Union, a rebel shot one of Knechts
comrades. This occurred near the
rebels home. and Knecht vowed re-
venge. Going to the house with the
loaded gun he slew the rebel In the
presence of his wife and family. The
wamon SC ear ed when she saw her hus-
band killed, and her voice had such
an unearthly sound that Knecht said it
always haunted him, and he was going
to kill himself in order to get away
from the result of his cruelty.

Damage from the Cyclone Is Greater
Than WINS First SuODcsed.

Amber, Pa. May 29.-The destruc-
tion wrought by the cyclone yesterday
is greater than was at first supposed.
A tour made over the stricken district
today reveals a picture of desolation
never before witnessed in this vicinity.
Below Amber and Jarrettown, where
the storm was the most severe. no less
than seventy-five barns, houses and
other buildings are either partly or
completely destroyed. The loss will
amount to oyer 100000. Alexander
Knight says the loss to his property
will be more than $25,00O.
Coroner Kurtz gave permission to
bury the bodies Of Alber. Monatt and
Winfield Emslie, who were killed at
Jarrettown. He did not deem an in
quest necessary.
John Betz. who was injured in the
wreck at the hotel stables, is not eX-
pected to recover. The work Of clear
ing away the debris Is going on rapidly
today, giving employment to hundreds
Of men. The loss will fall heavily on
the property owners as many of the
buildings were not insured against
storms. Mr.. Knight had no insurance
on his buildings and his loss Is COM
plete. ,.-

PROSPECTS BRIGHT.
Hesitation On Account Of Political un.
certainty Only Bar to Lively Trade.
Railroad Earnings Increase.

New York. May OR. G. Dun &
Co. will say tomorrow In their weekly
Review of Trade:
Failures for the week have been 2S9
In the United States. against 215 last
year. and 20 in Canada against "a last
year.
Continued exports OF gold are recog-
nized as natural results Of the borrow
ing and importing early in the year,
but caused no serious apprehension.
There Is a general conviction that de-
structive schemes Will not succeed, al
though at present political uncertain
ties cause part of the business that
might be done to be postponed until the
future is more clear. When conven-
tions are over. the field for doubt will
be much narrowed. A great many
men will then begin to act on what
they consider certainties. Others will
find their worst fears idle. and will set
tie down to business. Business is
question Of human nature, and he reads
1t best who remembers that all sorts
Of people have y share, nv their homes
and fears, their purchases on econo-
MICS, in making trade. 1t seems prob
able at present that majority, after
the conventions have acteo, will be in
a more hopeful humor than they are
now.
Markets for products are weak rather
than stagnant. The business done Is
small, but largely governed by the be-
lief In large crops and IN sufficient de-
nf.,d. Wheat has fallen 8 cents, cot
ton has fallen an eighth In spite Of
continued reports that famine Is near.
Decrease In manufacture of 20 per cent.
at the north perhaps more at the south.
show the real nature Of estimates based
on continued manufacture at maximum
rate. Receipts still indicate a crop of
seven million bales last year: yield Is
promised much greater than consump-
tion In any year.
Boot and shoe shipments 6 per cent.
larger than last year. then the largest
on record, indicate that in some
branches makers are catching up with
their orders. and many are discharging
cutters. Yet many others have orders
for months ahead, and sales still run
large for the season, and manufacture
ers quite generally insist upon slight
advance in prices. which buyers do not
yet nay. The iron and steel markets
are weak, with lower prices, because
the demand for finished product is en-
tirely Inadequate. though prices of
these are higher. Pig iron has fallen
over five per cent. since April 1, but
the average Of finished products has
advanced per cent. Plates weakened
and there Is no improvement in sheets
or rods. but beam makers have raised
the prices 81 per ton, making a. slight
advance in the average Of all prices for
the week. 1t Is possible that rebuilding
after the disaster at st. Louis may
affect iron and steel markets extensive
ly. The minor metals are all a shade
stronger.
Railroad earnings for May have been
2.7 per cent larger than last year.
