Washington, d. c., May 2O.-The
half-expectation that the Thirteenth
would be sent to the Philippines is
now removed. I saw General Merritt
today, before he left for the west, and
was told that the Tenth would be the
Dnly Pennsylvania regiment in his
command.
''I regret that I could not have more
of them" he said. Il consider the
Pennsylvania soldiers the equal Of the
regulars in most respects, and would
be well pleased to have the Thir-
teenth, Fifteenth and Eighteenth as
signed to us in addition to the Tenth.
Those four regiments, by reason of
their large experiences in the field, are
as well equipped almost as regulars to
enter upon an active campaign. A
general could not ask better soldiers"
President Mckinley gave it out to-
day that another call for troops will
be made l learned from an outside
source that a call for 100000 men will
be forthcoming as soon as the first
quota is made up. Pennsylvania will
be asked to furnish 5000.

TRENTON'S MURDER SUSPECT.
McConnell's Attempt at an Abb
Disproved by the Police.

Trenton, N. j., May 20.-Edward Nc
Connell, who is suspected of having
murdered Sing Lee, the Chinese laun-
dryman, last Tuesday night was ar
raigned before Justice Jackson this af-
ternoon and held for the grand jury
without bail. Mcconnell says he was
in Newark on the day the murder was
committed, in company with two other
men. The police attempted to arrest
them for vagrancy, but he made his
escape while the others fell into their
hands. The Newark police deny this
story.
1t is thought that the revolver which
Mcconnell carried was purchased in
this city, as it bears the private mark
of a dealer in firearms. The police
think it may have belonged to the
Chinaman. A son of the murdered
man arrived here today and arranged
to remove the remains to New York
tomorrow.

An Underground River.

Anaconda Standard: Belt, Jan. &c.
On account of the scarcity of water the
Anaconda company has been sinking a
new we'll down back of the coke ovens
and several hundred feet from the creek
bed. After going down about IS feet
through gravel and sand they came to
a streak of slate-colored clay. To as
certain, if possible, what the thickness
of this clay streak might be, a three
inch pipe was driven into it to a depth
of two and a half feet, when it broke
through into a channel or body of
water and quicksand. When the pipe
was removed the water came boiling up
through the hole and with it number
less small fishes. varying in size from
two to six inches in length. The fish
are very much alive and apparently in
fine condition.
About two miles above Arlington,
just below where the Otter empties into
Belt creek. the water sinks away into
the ground. 1t makes its appearance
again in the bed of the creek about five
miles below Belt. 1t is believed that in
sinking this we'll the underground
channel of the creek has been found
How the fish came there and how they
manage to live thus shut away from
the light and air is a matter of con-
lecture. BY those who profess some
knowledge of such things. it is claimed
the spawn of the fish is carried through
the gravel by the water into the I'M
foreground cavities, where they hatch
and the finny little fellows live and die
without seeing the light of day, enough
food and air being carried in with the
water to supply their meager wants.

Boise Statesman: "A gentleman who
was talking about the methods by
which justices of the peace who are
inclined to work" their counties can
pile up bills. He recited a case that
he heard of at one of the towns along
the road, as an illustration. The story
runs as follows:
a sheep camp wagon broke down near
the town, and was left standing where
the accident occurred, which was close
by the railroad. There was a good
bunk in it, with blankets, and tramps
made use of it nearly every night. An
enterprising justice and his constable
learned of this habit of the knights os
the road. and utilized the knowledge
thus gained. The constable would make
it point to visit the wagon early in
the morning, and if he found any
tramps in the vehicle he would arrest
them and take them before the justice
for trial on some suitable charge.
This was kept up about six weeks be-
fore the commissioners got wind of it
and put a stop to the industry The
plan resOrted to. according to the mar
rator of the story was to hire far
mer to haul the tramp trap away.
Another job by the same pair was
like this: Two sheep herders soaked"
a pair of shoes for whisky The con-
stable induced one of them to have the
other arrested on a charge of stealing
the shoes Then a man who knew the
fellow who swore out the warrant told
him he would better get back to the
ranch or he would lose his place. He
left at once, but the constable followed
and brought him back. The next move
was to arrest and fine the man who
advised him to return to his work. the
charge being based on the allegation
that he had spirited a witness away.

.LATTIMER MASSACRE TRIAL
SHERIFF MARTIN ARRAIGNED
FOR MURDER.
Greatest Event In Criminal History
Since the Days of the Molly Ma
guires-Getting a Jury.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Feb. Mot since
the trials of Molly McGuires has a case
attracted so much interest in the coal
regions as that of Sheriff Martin and
his 50 deputies, which began in the
Luzerne county court today Hun
dreds of persons were unable to gain
admission to the court room. Sheriff
Martin and his 81 deputies are charged
with shooting and killing % striking
miners and wounding over 80 more at
Lattimer. this county, Sept TO- 1891
The 50 deputies marched in a body
and after seating themselves began to
read the morning papers, apparently
uneoncerned.
The bar was crowded with lawyers,
while around the tables were grouped
some of the best attorneys in the state.
Judge Norwood presided.
During the afternoon seven jurors
were selected, and at $50 o'clock court
thus far obtained are: Eli Weaver,
labOrer; G. r. Shaw, carpenter; Aaron
Fallman, ropemaker; Alfred Stevens,
clerk; a. II. Shields, carpenter; Her
man Gregory, farmer, and Adam Lar
Won, tinsmith.
One Of the most interested spectators
ct the trial is Rev. Gaust- He was the
pastor tl IlOSl Ol TIE men hllltus anu
officiated at their funerals. The pros
ecution committee which has its head
quarters at HazletOn, claims to have
sufficient evidence to convict 10 of the
defendants. 1t is alleged that every
one of the 10 made threats on the morn
ing of the shooting. 1t is claimed one
man said: I would like to get a
chance to shoot down some of the id
foreigners"
Another is reported to have said: 7
viii help fill them full of holes; the
country would be better off without
them"
1t is also claimed that Sheriff Martin
had an understanding with the depu-
ties. 1t has been claimed all along that
the sheriff never gave the order to fire.
The prosecution say this may be true
in one sense OF the word, but the sher-
if gave a signal which was just as eff
fectiye as q word by mouth order. The
signal was for the sheriff to pull his
revolver. The instant he did this the
posse was to fire. The lawyers for the
defense say no witnesses will be found
TO testify to such facts, but the attor-
neys for the prosecution say there will.
