LETTER PRESS COPIES.
Governments Purpose Of Introducing
Number in Post Office Trials.

Tn the trial of the alleged Post Office De-
nartment conspirators in Criminal Court
No 1, following the examination OF MI
Clarence H. Buckler of the finance division
of the third assistant postmaster generals
office, late yesterday afternoon, the govern
ment introduced a letter press copy or a
communication, initiated by Mr.. McGregor,
and signed by Mr.. Machen, transmitting TO
the Groffs a warrant in payment for fasten-
erS.
The last witness of the day was Charles
e. Crowell, post office inspector He tes-
titled that in connection with the payment
of July g. 1895 for 500 Croft fasteners he
could find no record of an order for the
fasteners although thorough search for
the same had been made.
Assistant United States Attorney Taggart
then explained that the government desired
to introduce in evidence large number OF
letter press copy books of the free delivery
tain letters recorded therein relating to
Croft fasteners were initiated by Machen
alone while letters on either side Of the
ones in question were invariably initiated
by other clerks and officials.
IA II was desired that counsel for the
defense should examine the letter press
copy books an adjournment was suggested
The following conversation ensued:
Justice Pritchard-"We will now adjourn
until Monday morning. and want to give
notice that / shall require full weeks
work"
Judge Kumler-''Will your honor begin
the sessions at o'clock each morning.?
Justice Pritchard-"No, sir, I object to
that but I will hold night sessions If you
desire" -,
Attorney Douglass-"I am sure there will
be discussions among counsel for the de-
tense II the holding of night sessions Is
urged"
Justice Pritchard-"I made that sugges-
ton with the view Of accommodating Judge
Kumler."
Attorney Maddox fear wen have to
send Judge Kumler home"
Assistant United States Attorney Taggart
remarked that the government was almost
ready to close its case in chief.
Twill you get through Monday?' inquired
Judge Kumler.
Il do not know" replied Mr.. Taggart.

KOREA's HEIR APPARENT.
What is Said at the Legation Regard
ing Secret Of His Whereabouts.

Regarding the denials purporting to ema-
nate from the Korean legation, to the eff
feet that the minister is zealously guarding
the whereabouts Of Prince Euwha, who. 1t
is said. is to succeed his father on the
throne in the event that the present crisis
in Korea results in the emperor's dethrone-
ment, it can be stated that the Korean
minister, in written reply to an inquiry
about the address of the prince. refused to
give it, saying the prince was himself anx
ious to keep the address secret. The min
lister has indicated similar anxiety on his
part. All efforts to fathom the reason of
the reticence of the Korean legation on the
subject have failed. 1t is learned that let
tiers are frequently arriving from the prince
but not even the servants of the legation
are permitted to see the postmark. 1t was
reported today that the prince might arrive
here at any time.
One explanation of the reason of the
Korean minister for 50 jealousy guarding
the whereabouts of his royal protege is the
fact that the prince had a great deal of
attending college. The prince, 1t is said
came off the worse in scrap with one of
the citizens of that place, and he left the
college without an intimation to his des-
tination. He has all along, however. kept
the legation posted. What effect the crisis
at Seoul will have on the movements of the
minister here cannot be learned. The min
lister is an infrequent visitor to the State
Department and the officials here deal with
the Seoul government through Mr. Allen
our minister there.

TO REMOVE BUILDINGS.
Bids Opened for Clearing Site of Rep
resentatives' Office Building.

noon in the office of Mr.. Elliott Woods. SUI

chase from the United States of all the

square 600 on which the new Office building
for members of the House of Representa-
tives is TO be erected. This square is bound
ed by New Jersey avenue and b, C and 1st

condemned by the government.
The specifications under which bids were
received today required that the amount
bid should be in addition to the removal of
the structures by the bidder on two propo-
sfttons: First, to remove buildings and ref
use to the ground leved, and second TO re-
move buildings and refuse. including cellars
and foundation walls. The bids on the first
proposition were invariably higher than
those on the second
Resin w. Darby of this city put In the
highest average bid and il will probably
be accepted. He offered 81, 800 for the build
ings, agreeing to remove refuse to the
ground level, or including the cellars as
the authorities may desire. Cogan Bros

Recorded

SHARON. Pa. January 23.-Reports
which have just been received here state
that the Sharpsville bridge has been swept
away and that four men went down with
the bridge to death In the swirling water
Victor Durham and three foreigners are
said to have been on the bridge when it
was swept away. The current is very swift
at that point, and the four men struggled
desperately for a time to reach the shore,
but finally sank.
Jacob Hoffman of Salem. Ohio, was also
drowned in Yankee run while attempting to
ford the stream. Mrs. Hoffman, who ac-
companied him. was rescued by lumber
man.
The flood today reached the highest stage
ever known. and is still rising. All trains
to Cleveland and Pittsburg have been aban-
doned. as the tracks at many places are
under deep water. Every business street
in the city except State street Is under four
feet Of water. All the mills at South Sharon
have been abandoned on account OF the
flood. The damage here will reach many
thousands of dollars.
