PATERSON MURDER CASE.
MUCH EXCITEMENT STILL PRE-
Walls OVER IT.
By Telegraph to y1rginian-pilot)


Paterson, n. J., Oct. 26.-The revela-
lions made in connection with the muir
der of Jennie Bosschieter continue to
cause the greatest excitement ami in
dignation in this city, and arrange
ments are being made to-day for n
monster mass-meeting to express pub
TIC indignation and to insist on speedy
justice. Public sentiment is becoming
more infiamed every hour. Trouble is
feared this evening, when a political
mass-meeting is held at Colts Hall.
The hall adjoins the Jail in which the
prisoners are confined. Even the con-
servative citizens declare to-day that
such meeting cannot take place close
to the jail without some demons trat ion
of the popular feeling over the case.
President Arthur w. Bishop, of the
local branch of the Society for the Sup
preston of Vice, declares that the con
dition in Paterson is awful that the
young girls of the mills are considered
legitimate prey: that cases similar to
that of Jennie Bosschietcr are of night
~ occurrence. and that the grand jury
is utterly rotten. and prevents the pun
isment of those with influence"
In my opinion nothing will be done
with the men in jail" said Mr.. Bishop
to-day. Il do not believe the accused
will even be indicted for murder"

some of the incidents leading up to the

this unusual. said nothing about il TO
anybody until shortly after 4 O'Clock.
by that time Alvord had gone, but it
was expected that he would return. as
he had some work to finish.
When Alvord failed TO return the
clerk who had seen him make the era
sures made casual mention of the mat
ter to Assistant Cashier Backus. The
latter, without suspecting that any
thing was wrong, looked over Alvord S
balance and soon found several dis
crepancieS. He was Oh the point of
leaving matters for Alvord's adjust
ment when he decided to make Il fur
Their examination. and soon saw that
many items had been deliberately fall
sfied.
BY this time the suspicious of the
assistant cashier had become very
much aroused. All the high officials OF
the bank had gone for the day, but,
gathering a number of clerks, Mr..
Backus went hurriedly over the note
teller's books. and in a few minutes
had Overwhelming proof of Alvords
guilt.
Mr.. Hine did not say how Alvord
learned that he was under suspicion,
but he confirmed the report that the
note teller returned to the bank early
on Thursday evening. and, seeing 9TH
ers at work upon his books. he realized
that he had been discovered. Alvord
had not been under surveillance up TO
that time. although 1t has been said
he was suspected as carly as the 10th

Scranton, Pa. Oct. 26.-There is great
rejoicing to-day all through Scranton
and Lackawanna Valleys at the calling
off of the anthracite miners strike by
President John Mitchell and his eXecu-
tive officers. The order has also had
the effect of stimulating the companies
which had not already posted notices
agreeing to advance wages 10 per cent.

Coal Company sent out its official no
tice to its mines at Dunmere. Avoca
and Pittston. Fiftythree thousand
men and boys in this region will re-
sumo work on Monday.
The business community is enthu-
siastic over the winters outlook, and
among the operators there is the opin-
ion that there will be extra efforts
made to meet the market demands for
coal At the mines all the sidings are
filled with cars and the shipments OF
coal are certain to be large before an

on late last night, after the first de-

into collision with the strikers. and as
the result had nine OF their men sent
TO the hospital. The Scots were practi-
caiiy at Inc mercy of the strikers, as

Washington, u. c., Oct 26.-The Chi
nese minister has received a dispatch
stating that Kang vi, member of the
Oapinet with Yung Lu, and one of the
intense anti-foreign leaders, whose
punishment was demanded by the
Powers. is dead: also that Yu Hsien.
the late governor of Shansi, who is said
10 have been responsible for the death
Oh many missionaries, has committed
suicide.
Minister WI regards this act as the
result OF the disfavor which the high
oincialS have received from the throne.
THE COMMUNICATION.
The text of the communication is as
follows:
"Cablcgram from Viceroy Chang Chi
Iuns. dated October 25th. states that
governor of Shansi has reported that
NanS III died on October is: that Yu
Hslen. late governor OF Shansi. has
committed suicide by swallowing gold
,cal, anu Prince Tuan has not been
permitted to accompany the court
CableSram dated October 9th. from
Director General Sheng, states that an
imperial decree has been issued direct
inS Prince Ching and Earl Ii to fix
ana suDmit for approval the several
penalties TO be inflicted on those
princes and ministers that ought tn he
punished. He adds that Kang vi has
dled OF sickness. and that Prince Tuan
ana Prince Chwang have not been al
loWed to accompany the court Ito
ShansD."
AN IMPORTANT EVENT.
The death OF 1Iang ii is an import
ant event, as he was one of the ring
leaders whose punishment was de-
no
position of assistant grand secretary
and president of the civil board. and
also was one of the six Chinese states
men making up the privy council or
cabinet, which is the body nearest the
throne. Although the dispatch to Mr..
WI says only that Kang VI died" on
the 18Th instant, it Is thought that this
ueaih was the natural result of the
disgrace which has overtaken the
anti-toreign and Boxer element.
UNIQUE METHOD OF SUICIDE.
Governor Yu's method of suicide. by
swallowing gold leaf. is unique in
China. 1t is means by which high
personages take their life. the gold leaf
being representative of their high sta
ton. The leaf forms II concealed ball
in the canals of the body and brings
death from suffocation.
TUAN'S PROBABLE FATE.
Minister Wu'S advices to-day also
show that Prince Tuan has been visit
ed with severe censure form the throne
ana to such an extent that Ii would be
no surprise If he followed the course of
kang VI and Yu. He has been pre-
vented from accompanying the inlpe-
rial court to Sinan Flu. and remains at

on the throne. 1t Is expected that he
viii be banished, Which, to prince of
