ANOTHER SENSATION.
Grand Jury Returns Seven Endict.
mcnts. Involving Nine People. Tor
Alleged Conspiracy In Connection
with Postal AHaIrs.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The postoflcc
Investigation developed another sen
sation Friday, the federal grand jury
returning seven indictmcnts-inyo
ing nine people-for alleged conspir-
acy and bribery in connection with
postal affairs. August w. Machen,
for many years the head of the free
delivery service, was named jointly
with others in four of the indict-
mcnts.
The other parties were William Cor
don Crawford, who was deputy audi
tor for the postoilice department
from June -, 1893, to September Is,
1897, and is a member of one of the
exclusive clubs of this city: Leopold
j. Stern, of Baltimore: George f..
Lorenz, of Toledo, formerly a promi-
nent government official, and Martha
j. LorenZ, his wife; John T. Cupper,
mayor of Lock Haven, Pa; William c..
Long, an Ohio man, who has spent
much time in this city in recent years
and an intimate friend of Machen;
Maurice Runkel, of New York City,
and Thomas w. McGregor, a protege
of Machen, who was messenger at
the beginning of Machen's admins
tration of the free delivery service
and in recent years has been in
charge of the supplies for the rural
free delivery service.
Crawford voluntarily appeared in
court soon after the indictments were
returned and furnished $4,000 bail,
and McGregor gave $1,000 bG /. Long
was arrested at his home. He was re-
leased on $4,000 bonds. His was the
only case in which a bench warrant
was issued, owing to the voluntary ac-
tion of the others indicted. Machen
was not rearrested under the new in
dictment, as he gave bonds in $4,000
under his Indictment several weeks
ago, and the authorities felt this was
sufficient to insure his appearance.
Warrants have been issued for the
out-of-town parties indicted and their
arrest is expected within 24 hours.
Attorney Douglas, of Machen's
counsel, in speaking of yesterdays in
dictments of Machen, said that they
involved the same general charges as
the former Indictment, although diff
ferent alleged transactions, and that
the new indictments were designed
simply to strengthen the former
ones.

RIOTING AT McKEESPORT.
NOn-Jnion WOrikmen shoot Into n
crowd and Nyommh TNyO WON.

MckeespOrt, Ia, Aug. 1.-The most
serious disturbance OF the many that
have occurred since the inauguration
of the strike at the Port Neu tin mill
took place last evening. During the
riot one man was fatally injured and
another was shot so that he will be
crippled for life. The former is John
Mount, of Mckeesport, shot above

When the turns changed at the Port
Ven tin mill two of the non-union

crossed the bridge crowd of 100 or
more sympathizers gathered. In

King and DoIitf then drew revolyers,
which they leveled at their assail-
ants. The crowd increased their hoot-
ing and the two men were struck on
the head and face. At this they fired
into the crowd, which broke and ran.
Mount and Cameron were struck
while endeavoring to get out of dan
ger. The shooting attracted an inn

wounded men were so enraged that

DUN'S WEEKLY REVIEW.
Speculative Collapse EEa. Had No Ei~
feel ON Legitimnte ssusimehs.


New York, Aug. 1.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Further evidence of the solid basis
upon which legitimate trade is estab-
lished has been furnished by the
equanimity with which commercial
and financial institutions regard the
recent speculative collapse. Much
more harm has been done to the
coun,ry's manufactures and trade by
the inflated prices of cotton than by
the depression in stocks. Reports
are almost unanimous as to the heavy
distribution of merchandise, and this
is shown statistically by the increase
in railway earnings thus far reported
for July, 1875 per cent. over last
years.
As a rule retail trade in summer
fabrics has continued heavy and job
bers report fall business opening we'll.
Labor is well employed throughout
the country, except where yoluntar-
lily idle. Agricultural news is favor
able. Foreign trade is maintained,
both exports and imports from this
city showing gains over the CORE
spending week last year.
Moderate improvement is noted in
the tone of the iron and steel indus
try. There is a striking absence of
urgent orders, however, especially in
lines outside of railway equipment.
Failures this week were 100 in the
United States, against 1913 last year,
and 10 in Canada, compared with IS a
year ago.
