MRS. BECHTEL BITTERLY
DENOUNCEs ECKSTEIN
Crowds Flock to Hear Ex-
perts on Blood in the
Allentown Case

Allentown. Pa. Jan. 19---With the
prospect Of hearing no more scandal,
but merely duh. dry testimony about
human blood as related by medical
experts, the interest ini the Bechtel
trial Jagged considerably today. For
the frst time since this now famous
case began. the benches In the dingy
court room were not entirely filled. The
men had dropped of In large numbers
but the women crowded. as usual into
their half Of the seats. A tompera-
ture OF below zero may have had
something to do with this.
There was a long delay IN starting
the forenoon session. Several of the
Jurors who arc allowed 70 go 90 their
homes out in the country over night
have been delinquent during the last
few days IN getting into the court
room. Their usual excuse has been
delayed trolley and railroad cars. SO
annoying did this become that Judge
Trexlcr advised them at the close Of
yesterdays session TO secure quarters
In the city.
Mrs. Beehte Denounees Eekstein.
Through her attorney. she made
known her desire to say something
about Eckstein's testimony. The aged
woman IN the most scathlng terms de-
nounced the conduct OF the young mar
as ungrateful. and declared his state
ments to be false and without th'
slightest foundation. As she spoke
Mrs. Bechtel sobbed bitterly, and sway
ed in her seat like an aspen leaf.

CORRECTLY QUOTED
SAYS FORMER SENATOR
Despite Excuses Of Friends
He Says He Is Opposed
to Judge Gray

Former Senator Kenney IS opposed to
Judge Gray for the presidency. Several
of mis- friends who read his interviews IN
the New York papers said they believed
he aad been misquoted. This morning he
was called up over the telephone and
asked about the interview which appeared
In the Brooklyn Eag.e.
In that paper Kenney was quoted as
saying that active partIsans would not
vote for him as he did not appeal 10 the
regular Democratic voters. One objection
was because he did not vote for Bryan
Mr.. Kenney said: The Brooklyn Eagle
quoted me correctly Further than that

THREE OLD CRONIES
BEFORE spot LIGHT
Addicks, Alice and Layton In-
dulge in Pet Names in
Presence Of Writers

Senator J. Frank Alice. Secretary OF
State Layton and I Edward Addicks
had a love feast in Senator Allee's
apartments in Washington last night.
The Washington correspondents were
invited to be present to see them. A
large number accepted the invitation.
They were received by Senator Alice
and introduced by him TO Addicks and
Layton. Layton declared that TO see
them there together was IN itself suffi-
cient refutation of the statements re-
Gently published concerning them.
Addicks declared the stories absurd
" false"
Alice laughed boisterously. SO did
Addiclss.
Layton was inclined to view the sitr-
alton moro seriously. Il was terrible
he said. that Mr.. Addicbs' enemies
could so impose upon the newspa pers.
AS to the assertion that he would be
capable pr betraying anyone. and much
less his dear friend Addicks, that was
a painful thing to contemplate.
Used Their Pet Names.
Addicls and sAuee called Layton
DOC" Alice and Layton called Addioks
bN MS last Idlilti anu Auuitho anu LILY =
ton called Alice Frank"
Whether or not the three men dis
played their true sentiments regarding
one another, il was quite evident that
their concerted plan TO demonstrate
their harmonious sentiment needed no
rehearsal.
They made no statement and none
of them was willing TO he quoted There
was a general denial Of the story print
ed in The North American, and Ad-
dicks confded 10 his visitors that ne
had placed the whole matter i'm the
hands OF his attorneys.
Senator Alice invited every one to
come to his rooms a year hence, when
he said. Addicks will have been elected
Senator OF the United States 10 sue
ceed Senator Ball. At this suggestion
Addicks looked modest and Layton
beamed approval.
Senator Alice was asked II they ex-
pected to control the Delaware dele
cation TO the national convention or
would divide with the Regular Repub-
licans.

Sign Warrant
HOLLIS BILL WAS CUT AGAIN
Magistrate Explains Why Comptroller
Refuses to Allow His chsrses-Does
Not Know What Action He Will Take
in the Matter.

At the meeting Of the Levy Court
this morning a bill was received from
the star Publishing Company for ssa2
for advertising the ofncial ballot in
1896. To this was added ss57.s4, inter-
est on the above amount for seven
years at per cent. making the total
bill $i2o9.Sl. The following letter ac-
companied the bill:
To the President and Members of the
Levy Court of New Castle County:
Gentlemen:
The attached bill was contracted by
the Levy Court of this county in the
year 1896. II was presented 10 the
court in the usual order, but owing TO
lack OF funds at that time, and be-
cause OF the opposition of one Of the
members OF the court. payment was
deferred. and though the bill was fin-
ally passed and an order drawn for its
payment, the debt still remains unli-
quidated. This is due 10 the fact that
the then president OF the court, Mr..
William a. Scott. whose term as COM
missioner expired few days after the
order was passed. failed to sign Il, and
succeeding presidents OF the court
have doubted their right TO do so. Con-
sequently we are still without the
money due us, and your honorable
body is respectfully requested 20 take
such action in the premises as may be
deemed equitable.
We have waited patiently for tho
payment Of this bill. which ls a just
one. the work Il represents having
been performed upon the concurrent
order OF every member OF the Levy
Court except one; and now that tbs
court is well able TO meet its obliga
tions, we respectfully urge that thil
matter be given your attention.

MIR. MILLER CURRY BURNED OUT.
Dials Township Citizen Sustains Heavy
LOsS-NO Insurance.

Mr.. w. M'lier Curry, of Dials' Town
ship, had his re ,idence and all the out
buildings on the premise totally de-
stroyed by fire about = o clock last
Saturday afternoon. The fire originated
in the fodder loft OF one OF the barns
and was discovered by MIR. Curry him
self before the blaze was larger than a
mans hat. He made an effort to ex-
tinguish it; but in q few minutes the
building was in flames. Meanwhile the
fire rapidly spread, first to the three
cribs, smoke house, cow and horse
barn, thence to the dwelling, cotton
house and numerous sheds, making a
clean sweep.
Mr.. Curry thinks rats caused the fire
rs no n had been in the barn since
noon.
He managed to save a portion of his
furniture and other house furnishings,
clothing, etc.
The out-buildings though and their
contents, such as corn, grain and farm.
ing implements were lost. The teams
happened to be out, thus escaping.
The loss is heavy blow to Mr.. Curry
as 1t is understood he had no insuranc,
on any of his property.
