A STRONG DENIAL.
Father Corcsran Vindicates Attack on
 St Francis's Orphan Asylum.

Father Corcoran Vindicates Attack on
 St F'rancis's Orphan Asylum.
 New Haven, June 13.-An injustice was done to the authorities of St Fran cis's orphan asylum by story in an evening paper last night. In discussing the Gahan desertion case the paper said in relation to the two children:
 '.They were refused at St Francis's orphan asylum because they were born of parents who were not married by q priest of the Roman Catholic faith"
 Father CorcOran said last night: That statement is false. The two Gahan children were regularly admit ted to the asylum on May 20 last. The mother brought them there in the afternoon. She had letter from Father Thuente of St Mary's parish. She came again in the evening about ' o'clock and took them away again She stated that she had relatives who would provide for them. She did not say a word about her husbands going away with Edna Crowley, her sister.
 "The statement that the children were refused admittance because they were born of parents who were not married by priest of Catholic faith is false and does an injury to the asy- Iun
 '.TE the 50 years of it's history the asylum has never discrininared about tho birth of the applicants to it's shelter or the manner of their parents mar riage"

BROOKLYN INVENTOR DEAD.
Device He Had Spent 26 Years in
 Perfecting Killed Him.

The Invention Was an Aerial Toboggan Slide-As the Last Trial Trip Was Being Made the Machinery Failed to
 Work and the Car Going Rapidly
 Down the Incline, Struck the Man
 and Injured Him So That He Died in Two Hours.
 New York, June 13-Herman o. Moritz, a Brooklyn inventor 62 years old, has been killed at Coney Island by q device on the invention of which he tury and all his savings.
 Moritz's invention was an aerial to- began slide. Permission had just been granted to operate it, all the laws of the department having been com piled with The first car was empty and went without any trouble. Other cars with persons in them were sent over. Tine device seemed to be work ing to perfection, and as the various cars, one after another, went down the steep slide and came up with a round turn, NIoritz fairly shouted for joy. The dream of the last twenty-siX years of his life was realized, and his face beamed with delight as his friends alighted from the cars and pronounced the construction a success and certain to make him a fortune.
 Inspector Rittenhause and Charles Otis, friend of the inventor, rode in the last car to be tested. Moritz stood at the foot of the incline. The car had nearly reached the top, a distance of about seventy feet. There was a crack ing sound, shout, and Rittenhause and Otis shot backward. Their car had failed to hold the steel cog until the top of the incline had been reached. It came down with great velocity straight for the place where Moritz was stand ing. He turned to get out of the way, but the heavy vehicle struck him in the back, knocking him through a wire net ting. He died two hours later Kitten hause and Otis were uninjured.

MILITIA CLEARS THE STREETS
Heavy Rain at Pawtucket Help
 ed to Keep Order.
The First Was Run Through About Ten O'clock--The Soldiers Made Five Arrests-Stones Were Thrown and the Conductors and Drivers Were Kissed and Hooted.


 l PaWtuckct, +. l., June 13.1The first duty to-day of the militia who, by or ders of Governor Kimball, arc assist ing the local authorities here in main taining order in the street railway strike was to clear the streets of all debris which had accumulated during the night or had been placed on the tracks to hinder the resumption of traffic. When this had been done, the street railway company was notified by General Tanner, in command of the troops, that the road was unobstruct- ed, and preparations were made for sending out cars.
 Although during the latter part of yesterday afternoon and last night there was no serious disturbance, end the most the troops found to do was to keep the crowds moving, there was no relaxation to-day i'll the vigorous measures put in force yesterday. Ire fury of the Irresponsible element, 70 whom yesterdays turbulence was at tributed. seems to have subsided. | There is a strong feeling not con fined to one class of citizens against the deputy sheriffs wlio have dis charged firearms during the strike. This feeling was particularly notice able after the shooting of the twelve year old boy, venner Peterson, yes- terday. The feeling towards the mi litia is more friendly.
 In pursuance of a decision reached last night, on his return from his wedding journey, Mayor Fitzgerald called on Governor Kimball to-day to discuss the situation and to have the militia withdrawn. He considers the presence of the soldiers as contributing to disturbances. He says he will guarantee protection to the cars. When asked if he would put officers on the cars, the mayor said he would not. 1.-The officers on their beats together with the specials can protect the cars," he said.
 For time heavy rain kept people indoors. As the forenoon advanced, the weather improved and the streets became more active.
 The first car run from Providence proceeded through this city at 10 o'clock. It was without the usual deputation of guards on board. The troops lined the streets along the route. While there was no very seri- ous demonstration of protest against the progress of the car five arrests were made by the soldiers. Some stones were thrown, the driver and conductor were hissed, but these out bursts were quelled by the soldiers before they had assumed serious pro- portions.

 New Haven. June 13-s'Who is sell ing examination papersY' This is a question that is being extensively asked in Yale university. For the third or fourth time within recent years exam. ination papers have been found in the hands of Yale students in advance of the examination. It is not known how general the traffic in such papers has been, nor how many instances have gone undetected.
 The class in European history, con ducted by Prof A. NJ. Wheeler, will be re-examtned, because the examination paper fell into the hands of greater or less number of members of the class, so that they had time to prepare themselves before. The standing of the members will be scrutinized Those whose percentage is as good as 50 per cent will be excused from the second examination, but those whose percent age is less than that will be re-exam- ined.
 Copies of the continuation were hawked about by a member of the class, who paid $10 for a copy, for as little as 50 cents. The class comprises

PUMPS ARE IDLE.
Panther Creek Was in a State
 of Excitement Last Night.
STRIKING MINERS WEREACTlvE

As Result Nine Galleries in the Vale
 ley are Not Running-No Demonstra-
 tion at Lehigh Valley Co.'S William
 A Colliery for the First Time in E. Week.
 Tamaqua, Pa, June 13.-All last night the Panther Creek valley was ill a state Of excitement. Large delegations of striking miners visited the homes or the non-union men and warned them not to go to work in the morning. To- day it is claimed the pumps at five of. the nine collieries in the valley are not running. The striking men here are endeavoring to induce all tradesmen to go out. An appeal has been made to the carpenters, machinists and moIders- Feeling is at very high tension and tue people are in state of apprehension.
 Wilkesoarrc, Pa, June f3.-For thd first time this week there was no dem onstration in the vicinity of the Lehigh Valley Co.'S William A. colliery at Dur yea to-day The efforts of the strike leaders to have the men keep the peace have been successful and there was no gathering of idlers at the cc.liery to annoy the worEmeE. The Lchigh Val ley Co has followed policy of keeping its guards in the background 60 as to avoid any serious clash, but the at tempted shooting of it's division super intendent on Wednesday night has caused it to change its method. Last night and to-day extra coal and iron police were sent to the colliery and they were distributed around the mino in conspicuous places. 1t is the com pany's intention to take no moro chances of having its employees in- jured.
 An attempt was made last night to start up the pumps in the collieries of the Susquehanna Coal Co at Nanti- coke, but the effort was defeated by the engineers quitting work almost in a body. There is a very large number of armed coal and iron police in that vicinity, which fact has caused much uneasiness there.
 The stril~a drags along without any change. Information from all parts oe the affected territory shows the situa- ation to be quiet to-day. President Mitchell had nothing to give out of any importance. He said the strike was complete and there was nothing to do but wait. He has received no informa- ton from West Virginia that shows any change in the situation there.

WALLER IS HOME.

HELL IS A WINTER RESORT

Compared to War Life in Samar-He
 Says He Has Enough of Fighting
 and Is Getting to Be an Old Man
 Saws He Never Questioned General
 Smiths Orders, But Obeyed-Says
 He Knows Who Was at the Back of
 the Court Martial Proceedings.
 San Francisco, June 13.-Major l.. w. T. Waller United States marine corps. who arrived here on the transport War ren, which also brought the battle scared remnant of the fighting Ninth infantry, expressed emphatic views ln the matter of the war in the Philip pines.
 .sYou can't stop the revolution in the Philippines unless you take the sever est measures" said Major Waller Ill an interview. 'You would hate to see your wounded and dead mutilated l cannot describe the fearful condition in which we found some of the bodies of men under my command Who were murdered by insurrectos. l received both verbal and written orders from General Jacob Smith to kill all insur- f6cIOS WHO were O1 nHN refused to surrender.
 Ut was the only thing that could be done and I never questioned General Smiths orders with one exception. This exception I refuse to state. A fair estimate of the number of natives killed by the men of my command would be 400 to 300. These were killed in battle with the exception of eleven carriers. inSurrectoS, who were tried Dy court martial and shot.
 There was only one woman, and she was only slightly wounded. She happened to be in the breastworks of a fort my men were storming.
 'I have fought in every country in the world except Australia" said Ma jor Waller; ''but Samar-well, hell is winter resort compared to Samar.'
 The major spoke huskily through a deep cold that he contracted during the home voyage on the transport, but he was obviously sincere. His eyes snapped at the mention of the island that General Jacob H. Smith had or dered him to convert into a bowling wilderness.
 q left Samar a bowling wilderness. They tried to make it that for us but we made it a bowling wilderness for them"
 Want any more of it?" he was asked
 ''No; I'm getting to be an old man now" His face relaxed. .'I'm in my fifties. Besides, they've surrendered, and it's all over. It's always over when they surrender in the Philip pines" and a sarcastic smile curved un- der his military moustache.
 Have you anything to say, major, regarding your court martial on the charge of executing Samar natives without trial? Or was that the charge?''
 ''The charge against me-" he said, ''was murder. Yes one plain word murder; and as for having anything to say about the court martial, of course l have. I objected to being court mar tialed; it wasn't done at my pleasure: l was not consulted in the matter; was simply court martialed. I know who caused that court martial; know who brought it forward; I know who was at the back of it all; and Wash ington knows as much"

 The four-oar was out for half an hour, taking a two mile spin. Much of the time was devoted to practice at the catch and in recovery.
