WHO PAINTED 1T
A Fortune for the Man Who Made q
Sign at Harper's Ferry.

INQUIRIES have been received by tho
Baltimore & Ohio railroad concerning
the man who painted a station sign at
Harper's Ferry. The Western Society
of Engineers has the sign now on eX-
hibition in it's rooms in the Monadnock
building at Chicago.
The engineers are using every effort
to ascertain who mixed the paint and
applied it to the sign, which was
placed in position at the Harper's Ferry
station about thirty years ago. The
summers heat and winters storms
have in no way dimmed the luster Of
the paint used to make the words
"Harper's Ferry" The words stand
out as boldly as the day they were
formed by the artists brush. The
wood around the letters has been worn
about one-sixteenth of an inch by sand
beaten against it by fierce winds, but
the letters have withstOod the ele-
ments.
1t is claimed that no paint manufac-
tured nowadays is equal in durability t
that which was applied to the old sign
and if the person who mixed it is liv-
ing and will take advantage Of The
secret he possesses as to its compost
ton, it is said he can, by engaging il
the paint manufacturing business, soo1
accumulate wealth.

Little Rock, Ark October N.-U. S.
Senator James X. Jones, chairman OF
the Democratic National Committee,
arrived in the city this evening.
The Senator dictated and authorized
the following statement in regard to
the published statement in various
newspapers announcing that he had
removed Mr.. Harvey from the manage
ment of the affairs of the ways and
means committee of the National DEM
ocratic Committee and that he had an
nounced that the scheme conducted by
Harvey was rare disappointment
to him and that Ex-Governor Stone,
of Missouri, would take Mr.. Har-
vey's place on November 1. Sen
ator Jones said that the whole story
was a fabrication without semblance
Of truth in it. He said that he went
to Chicago few days since to look
over Mr.. Harvey's plan, as he felt
great interest in it's success. So far
from being dissatisfied with Mr.. Har-
vey or his plans, he was in fact very
much pleased with both, and that care
full examination of what has been ac-
complished and the plans for future
work had inspired him with the utmost
confidence in the successful movement,
and he wished all friends to the cause
TO know that the confidence felt by
him in Mr.. Harvey at the time of his
appointment has only been confirmed
by patient investigation of the work
The statement that there has been
any friction between Mr. Harvey and
himself or that there has been any
friction on any material point or want
of confidence in Mr.. Harvey, he says,
is fabricatio and entirely without
foundation in fact.

Huntsville, Ala, Oct. 27.-The war
Investigating commission began its
work to-day with Captain Augur, who
was in the quartermaster's department
at Tampa. He said that for time the
department was swamped there and ne
attributed the congestion to the rail-
roads. Captain Cutter, an Ohio voiun-
teer surgeon, who had charge of the
ambulance corps at Tampa, said there
was shortage of ambulances there
and that the camp conditions were bad.
| Col. Duffy, of the Sixty-ninth New
! York, said his command had never
lacked commissary. supplies, but that
| there was some delay in furnishing
! quartermaster stores. The sick had
! been we'll cared fer and while he had
seen some criticism in the New York
| newspapers, he thought most of the
sickness originated in the swampy
| camp at Tampa. There they had to dig
| only six inches for water. and there
were no tent floors. TIE said there had
been sixteen deaths in the regiment.
Captain Charles V. PaTkhurst, of the
Second artillery, detailed the participa-
ton of the artillery in the siege of San
tiago. There were times when his men
did not have time to eat, but there was
NO time when they did not have food.
There was also plenty Of forage for the
horses. He was wounded twice on the
second Of July and his wounds were
dressed within few minutes after they
were received.
First Lieut.. Conklin, Of the Second
artillery, who was in the Santiago
campaign, said the only material defect
in the supplies was in the powder,
which he thought should have been
smOkeless. He said that in going to
Cuba the guns and horses were sepa-
rated, but he understood that this
could not be avoided. He was the
only member of his battery, officer or
man, who had not been sick as a re-
suit Of the Cuban campaign, but he did
not think the sickness could have been
prevented.
Major Lebo, in command Of the Sixth
cavalry complained of the difficulty in
securing lumber, fire wood horseshoes
and stoves in the camp here. He also
said the tents were of poor material
and leaked even when new. He also
said there had not been sufficient med
ical supplies in Cuba and that the
transport Gate City, in which the
command came north, was poorly suit
ed for the purpose.
Captain Stretch, of the Tenth in
fantry, gave in detail the hardships of
that regiment during the San Juan
fighting. He said there was no time
when the men had nothing to eat, but
he did not remember having drawn a
full ration while in Cuba. He said the
sick of the command were fed at Mon
tauk better than they ever had been
in their lives.
The commission devoted the after
noon to an inspection of the military |
camp at this place. The commission |
was divided into four parties for this |
purpose, and even then the task was |
not accomplished until the day was
we'll gone. This is a large camp and |
the inspection was very thorough. |
The camp was found in good order
throughout.

the longest, twelve months, she be-
came engaged TO Mr.. Williamson,
well-knowa personality in the Journal

| Her first efforts were in the direction
| of character sketches which were done
! with the vigor and the power OF
graphic narration which have so
! charmed the readers of her later stor-
] ies. Then Mrs. Williamson embarked
upon more arduous undertaking OF
serial story for Messrs. Harms

TIN PLATE COMBINE.
Opinion of the Iron Trade Review on

the Subject.
Cleveland, o., October 27-Concern-
ing the proposed tin plate combine, the
Iron Trade Review this week says:
Buyers of tin plate are evidently
proceeding on the assumption that
combination efforts cannot be brought
to successful issue. Yet every week
brings more positive assurances from
those who are close to the promoting
syndicate, that arrangements have pro-
crossed so far that the consolidation is
as sure as anything not positively
closed can be.
at is said in answer to the doubts
expressed as to the ability of those in
charge of the deal to finance 1t that
capital is assured in amount ample
for the taking up of the options that
have been secured, even though the
present tin plate companies elect to
take all cash and no stock as they may
be expected to do"

New York, May 2S.-The stock market
has maintained undertone of rema rk-

largely manipulated and was aided by the
manufacture of rumors of complete vic

Spnish fleet. This bull campaign was
largely directed against the short interest,
which was known to be large, especially
in London. where a periodical settlement
has been in progress. When the reports
of a decisive naval victory were discred-
tied and denied, the bears attempted to
turn on their adVerSarieS and break the
market They succeeded in working de-
clineS in the few special stocks they at
tackled, but the general market refused to
respond and held firm. The undertone of
strength has been aided by the large
amount of stock which has been taken In
odd lots for investment on divided pros
poets. A number of the gilt-edge stocks
with large surplus holdings in the COM

Stocks bought in this manner are, in large
part, withdrawn from the market instead
of being held ready to market again at a
