NEW YoRK'S CHARTER.
Ex-Mayor Hewitt Thinks it Should
Not Be Adopted Before 1000.

New York, Jan. 16.-The final public
hearing on the proposed new city char
ter before the Greater New York COM
mission was held in the council cham
Der at the city hall this afternoon.
While objections have been offered
to some parts of almost every chapter,
mos OF those who have appeared be-
fore the commission have commended
the charter as whole. The chamber
of commerce has asked for more time
time to read and study the provisions
of the charter. Former Mayor Abram
S. Hewitt made the startling sugges-
ton that the commissioners ask the
legislature TO grant them until Jan. /,
1900, before submitting the finished
charter to that body. 1t was none too
long, he declared. Suppose" con-
tinued Mr.. Hewitt, that after all your
work the result of your labors should
be a greater Tammany and bigger
bossism?"
There is danger" the speaker con-
tinued impressively. there is danger of
just such a thing happening"
Mr.. Hewitt advocated the submission
of the finished charter to a vote of the
people before it was finally adopted.
Under the law the commission must
report to the legislature before Feb. 1.

TWO FARMERS KILLED.
A Number of Railway hen Badly
Hurt in q Railway Collision.

Newark, \. J., Jan. 16.-The Phila-
delpnia & Reading local train, leaving
New York at $50 p. M, struck and
killed two farmers who were driving
across the tracks at Hopewell, y. j.
The accident necessitated a delay of
j. minutes. the local then being on the
time of the Philadelphia express train.
The local pulled in on q siding TO fix the
air brakes. and then pulled out
through the other end of the switch
to the main track. The express came
along at this time at terrific speed
and struck the rear end of the local
train, upsetting the baggage and mail
car and iniuring five trainmen and
burning up the mail and baggage cars.
The injured are:
Engineer Seal of the local, scalded
and leg broken in jumping.
Baggage Master Gilman of the eX-
press, two ribs broken.
Baggage Master Webster of the eX-
press, slightly hurt.
Engineer Duxon of the express, badly
hurt, taken TO hospital at Plainfield.
Conductor Ashton of the local train,
hurt internally.
Medical assistance was summoned
from Bound Brook, Hopewel and Ken
sington.
The names OF the two farmers killed
cannot be learned.

Leadville, Colo, Jan. 16.-The crisis
undergone since last June has been
reached, and a calamity far worse then
the strike of the metallic miners here
has overtaken the camp.
For the first time in 10 years, the
immense pumps that have drained the
big mines on Carbonate hill, the
wealth-centers of Leadville, are closed
having been entirely pulled out, while
the pipe lines connecting are to be re-
moved at once.
The Maid-Henrietta pumps had a
capacity of 1900 gallons of water
minute, and, depending upon them
were nearly all the great mines of car
Donate hill. Two days ago, as stated
in these dispatches, men We're put to
work pulling the pumps, but so serious
was the undertaking that people here
were loath to believe that the intention
would be really carried out. Today,
there can be no doubt, for the pumps
have been so far taken out that to put
them back would be to go all over the
ground again.
How long the mines affected by this
move can hold out is merely a matter
for conjecture. There are miles OF
workings on Carbonate hill and these
will probably fill up slowly, so that
the down town workings may not be
reached by the rush of waters for a
month or two. 1t is expected, toWever,
TO be only a question of time, and
month would undoubtedly find many
mines idle. as a result of the flood
1t is of little consequence, now,
whether the strike is settled or not, as
ha m cain nv sci
tIement. 1t Will be many months be-
fore there will be employment for the
new men in the camp. Merchants feel
gloomy, and all acknowledge that
Leadville faces the most serious crisis
in its history. Nothing definite look
ing towards a settlement of the strike
has yet been arrived at. Debs is hope
full and the Miners union is inclined
to give in considerabl today.
The governor will say nothing on the
situation, but maintains that some
thing must be done, and that no one
should lay a thing in the way of set
tlement. He is still hearing the views
OF leading citizens on the question, and
beth he and the managers approve OF
the position Debs has taken on the sit
uation-
Some men express the opinion that
the strike Will be settled by Monday,
and others take an opposite view.
Debs is optimistic. He is hopeful of
n favorable turn, and says that with
an amicable adjustment of the strike
the bitterness of the present will be
forgotten in six months. He is GER
tainly the strongest character for good
that has yet interested himself to eff
feet a settlement.
The men held for the murder of Pat
rick Carney were today bound over to
the district court to await trial with
out bonds.

but at the first refused to act, on the
ground that it was not within his jul
riSdiction. There the matter rested I'M
til last night, when Colonel Ward re-
turned to his headquarters on Gov
ernor's Island with the announcement
that the examining board would recon-
slider the entire batch of thirty cadets
who were discharged.
~ believe the dismissals were or
dered by the board without the knowl-
edge of eXtenuating circumstances
covering the cases of my son and of
young Lee" said Colonel Ward. In
view of this fact, a reconsideration has
been ordered. 1t would not do TO show
any Partially, and for that reason the
entire number of plebes and upper
class men will be reinstated and given
another examination
1t was believed at the war depart
ment last evening that the action of
the secretary was due to influence
brought to bear on the administration
by General Lee.

BONDSMEN WILL LOSE.

A peculiar feature of the case is that
the government will not lose anything
by the McBride-Cunningto defalca-
ton, it having been protected from just
such an emergency by some surety
company for McBrides bond and per-
sonal bondsmen for Cunnington. The
name of the surety company was not
obtainable last evening, but it is an
eastern concern with an agent sta
toned at this point. Cunnington's
bOndsmen are all prominently connect
ed. All of the loss must be made good
to the government and it is not only
in the province of the bondspeople to
prosecute. but the government may at
its pleasure, punish both prisoners for
breach of faith and for the good of

JUDGE POWERS PLEA.


When the hearing opened in the
morning Judge Powers reviewed brief
ly the history of the crime and the
facts as established by both the pros
ecution and the defense. He cOntended
that there was nothing but circum-
stantial evidence upon which the con-
victiOn was based, and sufficient proof
was at hand to show that if HAYES
was guilty, others were implicated
with him. He scored counsel for the
defense for not calling witnesses that
should have been produced and could
account for it in no other way than
that the defense was either overcon-
fident of an acquittal or else grossly
negligent He also intimated that
there was a conspiracy on foot to do
away with Hayes.
Judge Powers then submitted a pc
tition signed by II members of the
Salt Lake bar, asking that the SEN
tence be committed to one of life i'm
prisonment. Among the signers to the
petition were W. H. Dickson A V
Taylor, William c. Hall, Frank Pierce,
H. P. Henderson, c. o. Whittemore.

Harrington, Frank B. Stephens, James

low and Samuel A. Merritt
Another petition asking for a COM
mutation of the sentence was signed
by So business men of this city.
Three hundred and seventy-six resi-
dents of Eureka petitiCned for an alb
Solute pardon.
Residents of Springville to the num-
Der of % asked that a Communication of
sentence be granted
Twenty-one citizens of Logan sent
in petition for an absolute pardon.
A similar request was made by "a
people of Stockton. This was supple
mented by a petition signed by IA resi-
dents of Mercur.
Another petition signed by 70 resi-
dents of this city asking for an alb
solute pardon made up the list in be-
half of the convicted murderer.
AFFIDAVITS GALORE.
Judge Powers then reached over for
a stock of affidavits, most of which
contained statements as to HAYES
whereabouts on Feb. 16 and II. Mr..
Hayes. it will be remembered, resided
at Eureka and the murder was COM
mitted many miles from that place on
the evening of Feb. 16.
c. E. Oumond of IA West Second
South street, Salt Lake, made an aft
davit to the effect that he saw Harry
Hayes every day at Eureka, the latter
being in the habit of building a fire in
front of atlantis door every evening at
5 o'clock.
John Dillon of Eureka, in an affidavit
set out that he saw Harry Hayes on
the 18th of February, working about
w. F. Shriver's store. On Sunday
morning, Feb. II, again saw Hayes in

! Harry Hayes, convicted of the Peli-
can Point murders. will not hang. The
state board of pardons yesterday COM
muted his sentence to one of life i'm
prisonment.
The final hearing before the board
yesterday was not devoid of sensa-
tional features. Affidavits upon af-
fdavits were presented by Judge Pow
ers, who appeared in the condemned
mans behalf, all setting forth evidence
that would at least indicate that 9TH
ers were implicated in the murder, if
indeed they did not build up a strong
doubt as to the defendants guilt.
The climax was reached when Judge
Powers handed in an affidavit which
attacked the integrity of public Of
fetal. The contents of the document
were not made public for the reasons
stated by Judge Powers that it was
a direct attack upon a public official
and would not have been presented
only for the fact that human life
was at stake And so the silent mis-
sive was handed over to Governor
Wells. chairman, to be discussed in
executive session.
PROSECUTION JOINS.
In addition to all the written evil
dence, Prosecuting Attorney King of
Provo appeared before the board and
stated that while ne believed HAYES
was guilty, there was at least posi-
bility of others being implicated, and
he would, therefore not oppose COM
mutation of the sentence.
During the course of the hearing
Clerk Hills received a telephone mes
sage from S. r. Thurman and his
partner, Mr.. WedgeWood, of Provo.
which was reported to the board in the
following self-eXplanatory language:
Both myself and my partner MIR.
Wedgewood are strongly Of the Opin-
ion that the sentence OF Harry HAYES
should be commuted We wish it TO
be emphasized in this that we have
no doubt of his guilt. There is no
doubt as TO the killing being done by
Hayes but we are not satisfied as to
the manner of the killing. We are
not clear as to the motive or for what
reason the deed was committed. There
are facts in connection with the case
which were not admissible in evidence
and which were not introduced, and
which, if they had been allowed to
go to the jury, would have warranted
a verdict with recommendations. We
both recommend the Communication of
defendants sentence TO life imprison-
ment. l viii at as early a date as
possible communicate to the board in
full so that our recommendations may

When it appeared that the New Eng

ceed the market demand, an organiza-
ton, now known as the Farmers Fruit
Offering, was formed in Boston to dis
tribute the surplus orchard product to
the poor of that city. This society
gathered and collected whatever APP
pies the farmers would donate to it.,
and it has just concluded it's mission
after seven weeks of effort. In that time
it has distributed 4,slG bushels of APP
pies, which might otherwise have gone
to waste, among 43,7S9 persons. The
charity has been so practical and CRATE
ful that it will probably be repeated

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The object of trust is to prevent
competition and keep up prices. 1t is Il
few people saying to the many that they
shall not make money in that line OF
business. If these people will not stay
out means are devised to drive them out.
Now as the world has to carry along
everybody in it, has to feed, clothe and
support the unemployed, the making OF
trusts is an Improbable occupation and
harmful to society, truth which, being
generally recognized, accounts for the
instructive hostility to trusts of all kinds.
The sugar trust is just now engaged
in coffee war with Arbuckle Brothers.
of New York, who control the American
coffee market and are said to be the
biggest operators in coffee in the world,
The ArbuckleS wished to handle sugar
as well as coffee. They tried to buy
sugar OF the trust on their own terms.
and on being refused started to build q
sugar refinery at Brooklyn.
This started the sugar trust into the
coffee business. This trust bought ont
a coffee plant at Toledo, Ohio, the CHIEF
competitor OF the Arbuckles, and have
lately acquired another plant in Chicago.
Then the trust started into make war on
the Arbuckles by knocking down the
price on coffee. Green coiIees have
dropped five or six cents a pound, and
now roasted coffees have begun to 90
down.
The trust which will not have any
competition against itself jumps at once
into competition outside of its line OF
business to destroy possible competitor.
The public is presented with a spectacle
which looks more like war than business.
1t doesn't speak very highly for the prog
ress of civilization, or show much ad-
vance in the last thousand years or so.
Given the material, the bushman would
handle them about in the same way.
But If Arbuckle will complete his rein
cry and cut the price of sugar the public
will willingly see these manipulators OF
food prices destroy one another.
