CINCINNATI, OHIO, May 5.-No more
bodies were to-day removed from the ruins
of the wrecked building at 430 and 432
Walnut street, which was the scene of last
nights terrific gasoline explosion.
The dangerous condition of the adjacent
walls caused the Building Inspector to
call halt to further operations until they
were braced. Tonight a force of workmen
were engaged in pulling down one of the
walls and before morning the work of
digging Tor more bodies will be resumed.
Following is a complete list of the dead,
injured and missing so far as known:

Carriage Company. Hamilton, Ohio;

COULDN'T STAND THE TEST.
A 500 Pound ProjecfIe Splits the f5-Inch
Armor-Piate of the Big Battle
Shin Iowa

BETHLEHEM, PA, May 5.-Captain
Sampson, Pprofessor Alger and other
members of the Bureau of Ordnance this
afternoon witnessed the attack by 1O-inch
gun on 15-inch armor plate at the Beth
lehem Iron Company's proving grounds.
The plate tested represented the group
of plates for the turret of the battle-ship
Iowa. 1t was the largest ever finished in
the country. 1t weighed SO tons, was II
feet wide, 8 feet high and Is inches thick.
A Carpenter projectile, weighing 500
pounds, was fired from 10-inch gun with
charge of 154 pounds of powder, attain
ing velocity of 1899 feet per second. The
point of impact was little to the left and
below the center of the plate.
The proiectile was shattered and the
point imbedded and weldedN in the plate.
The plate was split across its width, while
there was a crack at the bottom.
The manner in which the plate cracked
was strange, as there was no radiating
cracks from the point of impact. The re-
suit was not an entire surprise, for the
plate was originally rejected on account of
flaws noticed in one end.
The company had confidence that the
plate would stand the test, however, and
decided to fire at it. The cracking of the
plate was the opening of internal flaws
known to have existed previously.
Under the circumstances the ordnance
officials did not consider il advisable to
continue the test. The company will be
permitted to present another plate to be
tested,

the street railway strike to-day. Al
though the electricians union went out IN
a body this morning, the streetcar COM
pany managed not only to have about the
same number of cars running to-day as it
had on Monday, but also to keep the cleo
trio lamps on the public streets burning to
maintain it's contract with the city. Still
the accommodation by cars was very poor,
and people preferred TO walk or to use the
many bus lines established since the be-
ginning of the strike.
There were some disturbances at differ
ent places, but none of them very serious.
Big crowds would yell as soon as they no.
ticed a car driven by "scabs." At the
headquarters OF the union everybody was
feeling confident.
1t was reported late tonight that many
men who were working for the company
had quit again, and the machines of the
power-house on River street are under the
sole care of Superintendent Crawford and
his assistants, as all the hands are out.

BRIBED BY A DETECTIVE,
How Testimony Was Manufac.
tured in the Pearl Bryan
Murder Trial.
Seward Makes a Full Confession and
Asks the Mercy of the
Court.

CINCINNATI, OHIO, May 5.-Several
witnesses we're examined in the Jackson
trial this morning. With the exception
of Watchman Brinkman of the Newport
bridge the testimony adduced was unim-
portant.
Brinkman's story was contradiction of
that told by George Jackson, the colored
coachman. From 3 to o'clock Saturday
morning Brinkman said be and the col
lector were in the south ticket-office of the
bridge. From to o'clock three men
were present.
Upon cross-examination the witness ad-
mitted the fact that passengers have
crossed the bridge at night without paying
fares, as Coachman Jackson says he did.
At the afternoon session the defense
closed its case with the deposition of E. E.
Hackelman, fellow-studeut of Jackson
and Walling.
In rebuttal, the prosecution introduced
John W: White OF DanviIle, KY, and
w. l.. Mccarthy OF Kingsville, KY, who
testified that Truste Sr. and Detective
Seward were brothers-in-law.
After Witness Mccarthy left the stand
Ed Mosby, first sergeant of the Caldwell
Guards, whose deposition was introduced
by the defense a few days ago, was called.
In MS deposition MoeDy had sworn that
there haa been no drill of his company on
the night of the murder On the stand he
contradicted the deposition and swore
positively that the company had drilled
chat night. He also swore that he did not
sign the deposition.
Under cross-examination by Attorney
Crawford, Mosby admitted he said in his
deposition that he did not know where
George Jackson was Friday night, Janu-
airy 81.
James Smith, another deponent for the
defense, took the stand and denied his
deposition.
He had not signed it. John Lee, an
other Caldwell Guard, said the drill was
Friday night and the court-martial
Wednesday. Colonel Crawford requested
the court to hold these witnesses and
they were each put under $3.50 bonds.
Detective Seward tonight made full
confession of his connection with the case
to Prosecuting Attorney Lockhart, Colonel
Nelson and Mr.. Hayes, and has placed
himself at the mercy of the court. Sew
ard has acknowledged to these attorneys
that he bribed Witness T<uste to tell his
story.

PLANT OF ALASKA TOURISTS.
Officers of the Lukme Threatened With
Violence Because of their Abuse
of Passengers.

SEATTLE, WASH, May 5.-The tone of
many letters received in this city from
passengers of the steam schooner Lakme,
now encamped on Coal Bay, indicate that
Captain Anderson. the master, and Mr..
Wakefield, the agent, who made the round
trip, were very fortunate in not being
mobbed and thrown overheard. The most
bitter feeling prevailed from the second
day out and Indignation meetings, grow
ing out of the scantiness of the rauons and
other abuses, were frequent, to say nothing
of the chagrin occasioned by the action OF
Agent Wakefield in landing his 235 pas
sengers on barren shore, $50 miles short
of their destination = Six Mile Creek,
Cooks Inlet.
One person wrote that subscriptions
were taken up among the passengers for
the purchase of food, which had been
guaranteed with the payment of fare, but
not supplied in reasonable quantity. The
vessels agent sold pies for 25 cents each.
The trip is said to have netted those hay

Los ANGELES SW|NDLERS
How Judge" Carpenter and
His Accomplices Fleeced
Their Victims.
Sold Many Bogus Labor Checks Issued
to Mythical Workers on a New
Building.

Los ANGELES, CAL, May 5.-A. NJ.
Carpenter, leader OF the time-check
swindle unearthed last night, was a
former resident of San Pedro, where he at
one time conducted a weekly newspaper
and served tsrm as Justice of the Peace.
Since then he has been called "Judge."
For the past two years Carpenter has
been hanger-on in this city. He has
aspired to practice law. but few were his
clients. He had an office recently with
E. P. Carmicel, architect Of the Newell &
Cannon block on Broadway.
: Carpenter sold mum Der of bogus labor
checks to Gardner Smith, purporting to
have been issued by Frank Strange, a
pseudo contractor. when Smith presented
the checks to Newell, owner of the block,
he refused to pay them. Smith then
turned the checks over to Lawyer Rogers
to collect. The names of the workmen
were not in the directory, and the diff
Guilty of finding them arose.
day or two later Carpenter appeared at
Rogers Office with a letter Rogers had
written to Cranicle, and said that for $40
he could get the affidavits of the several
workmen to the claims.
This he was paid. Carpenter went away,
and two days later he came back and
wanted the certificates. Rogers suspi-
cions became aroused and he told Carpen-
ter he could have them the next day.
Meanwhile he had them photographed,
and he gave Carpenter the originals on
the latters promise to return them.
Carpenter then called to his assistance
Frank Ham and George Mitchell. These
men appeared before different notaries
public to swear TO the claims, getting the
names from the original certificates. The
three appeared at Rogers office Saturday,
when Detective Hawley and another Off
Ger gathered up the atfidavits. Carpenter,
Ham and Mitchell are now in the city jail
and complaint has been issued.
Mitchell would say but little this after
noon beyond admitting the confession he
made to the District Attorney last night
He acknowledged that he had forged four
of the names received for mechanics liens
by Smith. He also said that Ham
had forged some names. Mitchell de-
clared that he had done a very foolish
thing in making the confession.
1t is believed that other bogus time
checks will turn up now that the swindle
has been exposed. The particular item
upon which the complaint was issued this
morning is an alleged time-check in favor
of mythical Gus Wreen for $66, for work
performed on the Newell e. Cannon
block. 1t is possible other arrests may
follow. 1t is not believed that the time
checks bought by Smith cover all that
have been issued and disposed of to other
persons.

retary of the Treasury in the bonds trans
action.
Hill inquired who was more competent
to speak on that subject than the Senator
from Ohio.
''My answer would be matter OF opin-
ion, Pettigrew replied. 81 do not doubt
that the Senator from New York and the
Morgan syndicate will forever proclaim
that the Senator from Ohio is the, best
authority that can possibly be found, so
long as he openly indorses the plunder OF
the people and the robbery of the treas
ury"
The matter went over with Hill still oc-
cupying the floor.
Allison (R.) of Iowa inquired of Peffer
when he expected to reach vote on the
bond resolution. Peffer thought that a
vote would surely be reached tomorrow.
Allison-Why not have unanimous con-
sent to have the vote fixed for definite
hour tomorrow?

RED RHITECAPS.
Oktdhonia Indians Notify Their agent TO
Leave the heserration.

Ledre the heserrdtton.
WICHITA. KANs., May 5. The
Cheyenne and Arspahoe Indians of Okla
homa are greatly incensed against their
agent, Captain A. E. Woodson of the Fifth
Cavalry, and at an indignation meeting
just held by all the chiefs and most prom
inent members of the tribes they decided
to give him thirty days notice to leave
the reservation.
Bull Thunder, who is one of the princi-
pal chiefs. conveyed the verdict to Wood
son in person. The trouble has been
brewing for many months, but the recent
discharge by Agent Woodson of Black
Coyote, who has been an In
dian policeman for many years and
for long time chief of the Indian police,
was as spark to dry tim ber; it made the
redskins furious. Black Coyote is a man
of fine intelligence, powerful physique,
and for years has been terror to law
breakers in that country, but almost
idolized by his people.
Among the other charges which the
Indians have against Captain Woodson is
that he and his subordinates drank to ex-
cess and otherwise set bad example be-
fore the younger generation of Indians.
They appealed to Major E. ]. Simpson to
act as their attorney, and he has agreed to
do so.
Already there are grave charges hang
over Captain Woodson at Washington,
and Major Simpson has forwarded addi-
tional charges, which he declares can be
fully SubStantiated.

POLITICS IN THE EAST.
The Feeling That Harrison Will
Enter the Race Is
Growing.
His Old AdherentS to Make a Strong
Fight in the Indiana Con.
Vention.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, May 5.-Nearly
all the Republican leaders of the State
have arrived here to attend the State Con-
vention, which meets in Tomlinson Hall
Thursday morning. The gathering prom
fses to be one of the hottest on record.
The principal features will be the fight on
instructions between the Mckinley and
the old Harrison faction, the effort to in
!duce General Harrison to address the con-
vention. which is being bitterly opp osed
by the McKinleyites, the nomination of a
State ticket and the attempt OF Charles
Fairbanks to show his strength by having
himself chosen as a delegate-at-large to
St. Louis. Fairbanks is Senatorial can
dtdate and if he can land the st. Louis
honor it may be taken as an indication
that he can also land the Senatorship.
The prospect of the appearance of
General Harrison at the convention has
sent thrill of terror into the Mckinley
tanks. They fear that such thing will
stampede the delegates and ruin their
chances OF getting instructions for their
champion. General Harrison has been in
vited to speak, but he has not yet replied
to the invitation. The general belief is
that under the circumstances, and know
ing as he does the effect which his appear
ance in the convention hall might have,
he viii decline to accept the honor

there has recently been a show made on

be safely said that the convention will de.
clare for sound money.

ability of General Harrison's name being
sprung at st. Louis. 1t is claimed that an
emergency might arise which would war.
rant the use of his name, despite his
distinct and expressed wishes to the con-
trary, and this is said to be one reason
why the anti-McKinley crowd will fight to
the death rather than permit the Indiana
delegation to be ssnt to st. Louis with in.
structions for the Ohio man.
