Philadelphia this week, but has been post.
poned until next Tuesday and it is possi-
bio 1t mny be dropped in the meantime.
The charge preferred against Col. Vain.
wrightis that of procuring for one of his
clients an illegal pension of the United
States Government. The person for whom
the pension was secured is n woman reside
ing at Coatesville, whose husband an old
soldier had died several years ago Not
wshstanding the inot that this woman had
remarked, she had obtained pension on
account of tho death Of hor first husband,
which is in violation of tho laws Of tho
Pension Bureau.
Col. Wainwrlght's defense Is that ho
was not made cognizant Of the fact that
she had married since the death OF her
first husband, he bad simply noted the
data which she had given. The defendant
is survivor Of the 9th Regiment, Pa.
Vols, n man Of sterling reputation, and
those acquainted with the defendant are
satisfied that he would not knowingly bs
guilty Of tho crime with which he is chars.

Miller. Last Years Winner. Seems
sJirc OF Another Victory.
New York, Dec. 10.-A large crowd
thronged Madison Square Garden all
day yesterday. and at midnight thou
sands Of enthusiasts remained to cheer
on the jaded riders in the six day bicy-
Gle race. Before midnight Miller had
beaten the worlds record made by HIM
self year ago, and his friends believe
that he will be able to remain ahead Of
his own record until the race Is ended.
His condition seems remarkably good,
as does Waller's. Miller, however has
such a good lead that unless he should
weaken or meet with an accident he Is
a sure winner Pierce was almost %
miles behind Waller at midnight, and
looked very tired. Should anything hap
pen to Miller Waller will probably be
the winner. If Miller can keep up the
advantage he has gained over last years
record until the end of the race tonight
he will earn bonus of 5000.
The scores at . a. m. were: Miller,
1903; Waller, 117SR; Pierce, 1877; AL
bert, 1863: Gimm, 1916; Lawson. 1888;
Aaronson, 1853; Nawn, $780, Forster

Preparations for re-hanging him were

Bedford, Pa, Dec. 10.-1ndignation

have gone abroad that the whole town
was afflicted. Two hundred cases re-
ported have dwindled down to seven,
two in the borough and five outside,

Factions United in Opposition.
Chicago, Dec. 10.-Democrats, Re-
publicans and citizens irrespective Of
party assembled in mass meeting in
various wards of the city last night
and declared themselves unalterably
opposed to any street railway legisla-
tion by the aldermen under the Allen
law. Prominent speakers were In at
tendance at all of the meetings. The
ward machinery of the Democratic
party took up the cause, just as the eX-
ecutive committee of the Republican
party had few days previous. Chi
cago has never witnessed such spec
tacle before, and it Is doubtful If any
other city has.
Mayor Harrison called for voters
yesterday to help him win the fight
against the tlfty-year franchise or
dinance, on the propositions: mo fran

In addition to political speakers the
league has at its disposal lawyers,
Judges, ministers, professors, business
men and workingmen who have offered
their services.
Mayor Harrison yesterday put the
brakes on some hot headed citizens who
talked ropes by telling them that in
the first place there would he no neces-
sity for any overt acts. because the
gang could not muster enough votes
to pass the ordinance over his veto,
and in the second place that all talk
of mob law, Vigilance committees and

FINANCE AND TRADE.
No Nervous Fright Appeared Pending
tho Opening of Congress-.

New York, Dec. 10.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review Of trade says: The
most significant thing this week has
been the entire absence of the customs
ary nervous fright before or after. the
meeting of congress, the presidents
message and the treasurer's report. No
one showed the least alarm. and mo-
body could find occasion for any. Money
and stock and grain markets moved
on exactly as II the government were
automatic, certain to do or say no mora
than the people had already decided
and expected, and so the gradual bet
terment since October continues. There
is O larger demand for products in
nearly all the great industries, larger
export demand for foreign needs.
more healthy domestic demand since
seasOnable weather arrived and a
comforting conviction that November
business. the biggest ever done in this
country in one month. was but step
toward something better.
Bradstreets review says: Business
conditions continue of most encour-
aging character. A very satisfactory
feature, and Nele full of encouragement
to all wholesale lines of trade, is the
activity shown in retail trade in nearly
all markets. Reports received as to
the holiday trade proper, too. point to
the present year as constituting
record maker in this respect. The im-
portance of the early arrival of real
winter weather to the retail distrib-
uting of heavy clothing and similar
seasonable goods can hardly be over
estimated. In the wider domain Of
general trade and industry perhaps the
most notable feature has been the con-
tinued activity at advancing prices
shown for most classes of iron and
steel. but particularly pig iron and steel
billets. So pronounced has this demand
become since the placing of the first
large rail orders that what is ordinari-
1y regarded as dull period In this
industry has given place to exceptional
activity, and the stimulating effect al
ready impaired to values seems likely
to be added to rather than diminished,
so far as the outlook for the coming
year can at present be foreshadowed.
