 Louis F. Payn, former superntend- ent of insurance of the state of New York, was called to the stand late to- day and explained a large number Of appointments of confidential examin- CTS on the ground that an unusual number of examinations were made during his tenure of office. MT. Hughes produced a list which showed that in 1897 two examinations were made and in 1898 two more were made. while in 1899, the last year of Mir. Payn's administration. the number had not been brought out when adjourn ment was taken.
 The affairs of the Mutual Reserve were taken up with the wit ness and during this line of examina- tion MT. Payn stated that he had been opposed to MT. Burnham as president of the Mutual Reserve. and said he had tried to get him out.
 MT. Hughes asked why he had tried to get him out and Mir Payn flatly stated, Because I thought him crook"

The FaIr Is Permanent.

The next territorial fair will be a bigger and better one. though the pres ent one is better than the most opti- mistic members of the management had dared hope it would be. No mis- take in the preparation for it has been disclosed. It could not have been i'm proved if more time and money had been spent on it. All was done that could be done. Now that it has been proved to be a success there may be mentioned certain obstacles which have been removed and which will not be thrown in the way of the next fair. It may be admitted that there was some doubt of the wisdom of the legislature in making provision for it. There were some who declined to believe that it was to be a territorial fair at all but thought instead. that it was intended only for the aggrandizement of Phoenix. Others were merely apathetic and could not believe that much good could come of 1t.
 All these objecters have been con- vinced in three days Of their er- TOT and have been converted into boomers for the second territorial fair. The fair has come to stay.

1T WAS DONE
 IN THE DARK
No Account was Kept by
 "Judge'' Hamilton
The Very Nature of His Business Made it Inexpedient to Preserve a Record of It.

New York, Dec. 27.-Andrew Ham,
 ilton, the legislative agent for the New
 York Life Insurance company, who, according to testimony, has been en-
 trusted with hundreds of thousands of
 dollars by the company and has not accounted for $235,OOO, has been heard
 from by the insurance investigation
 committee, but has declined to make
 an accounting
 statement by MT. Hamilton was read for the record today. It was pre- sented by Secretary John c. Mccall of the New York Life, who went to
 Paris to secure an accounting from
 Hamilton. In his statement MT. Ham ilton says that he is unable to produce any books or accounts because he un- dertOOk the legislative matters for the life insurance companies with the un- derstanding that he was to make no accounting. Absolute secrecy was necessary in retaining necessary as sistants, therefore no checks were used in making payments.
 MT. Hamilton went into an exhaust i've explanation for the reasons for organizing this confidential service. as he characterized it, covering ais methods of work, and cited a number of legislative bills in which he had been interested. A list of expenses from 1899 to 1904 was appended to the statement The sum of $235,O0O un- accounted for, he says, would be greatly reduced by his running ac- count. still unsettled and open, and. as a matter of .gOod faith pending a set he offers to deposit S1OOOOO with the company.
 Secretary Mccall was questioned by MT Hughes as to what further light he could throw on the statement of Mr. Hamilton, but he said he could give no information. He did not ques- tton MT. Hamilton's figures nor the large amounts for travelling expenses. He asked MT. Hamilton for a full statement and relied upon his honesty to. explain everything. He did insist that MT. Hamilton produce checks or check books, but MT. Hamilton said he had none
 When MT. Mccall was dismissed Henry D. Appleton of the state insur- lnce department was called. He com- Dleted his testimony begun last Friday and during the examination was told that MT Morgan. former president of he Bankers Life Insurance company. had testified that MT. Appleton said it

A Wedding Gift.

An Associated Press dispatch which appeared in the morning papers of Tuesday will certainly be productive of wide discussion, no doubt as it was ex- pected to be. It related that there would be sent from the Vatican, gift to Miss Alice Roosevelt on the occa- sion of her marriage in February It had not been determined, however, whether the gift should be presented by the papal delegate in this country, Mgr. Falconi or whether it should be conveyed to the White House by a special messenger from Rome. It was added that Piux x is awaiting "as- surance that a papal representative at the wedding would be acceptable to the American presidents family"
 The manner in which this informa- tiOn is placed before the country sug- gests that elsewhere than at Rome there is an awaiting of assurance from the American people that the presence of the envoy from the Vatican at the wedding would be acceptable to them
 For some years it has been the prac- tice at Washington, when some policy has been in contemplation, to submit it to the country in the form of a ru- mor, apparently originating in New York or some other city than Washing ton. The temper with which the rumor was received usually determined the fate of the policy. This gentle touch leo of has been of valuable service to admin istrations.
 The approaching marriage of Miss Roosevelt is not an affair of state. It is theoretically none of the business of the American people who, however, all feel friendly interest in Miss Roose- welt and which they will continue to feel in Mrs. LongwOrth. To the very great mass of them it will not matter whether the Vatican sends a special messenger to the wedding or not or whether the Presbyterian General As sembly sends one or not, or whether the ruling body of any church desig- mates representative at the wedding or not.
 To some though, the reception of messenger from Rome would be regard | ed as state recognition of the Roman | church, more especially in view of the fact that neither the president nor any of the members of his family are Catholics. The situation presented by | the rumOr is a novel one
 The Vatirar, ;c important functions at the courts of | Catholic countries, though it is not rep resented at the courts of Protestant countries.
 But this is neither a Catholic nor a Protestant country and there would ~eem to be no objection for reasons of state or religion to the reception of the representative from any church. It may be agreed upon for reasons of state there need be a reception of the representative of no church for the government can have relations with none.
 This whole matter will no doubt come in for widespread discussion. The in terest of the daily press will be merely curious, while that of the denominations al papers and periodicals will be more or less intense and deep

LUTHER PITT IS
 KILLED IN DECATUR
A FLORENCE YOUNG MAN LOSES HIS LIFE IN JUMPING TO ESCAPE COLLISION OF AN ELECTRIC CAR WITH A FREIGHT TRAIN.

Decatur, December 25.-(SpeciaL) )-Luth- CT Pitt. the 1S-year-old son of Dr. J. Y. Pitt, postmaster of Florence, lost his life here last night in most horrible manner under the wheels of freight car. The accident, which was a most deplor- able one, occurred on a Louisville and Nashville railroad switch track on Sec ond avenue, near the line between Deca- tur and New Decatur.
 Luther Pitt was on crowded electric street car coming from New Decatur to Decatur. Just as tho street car was cross ing over the switch track, and after it had been Jagged, it was noticed that switch engine was coming at rapid rate of speed pushing several boxcars before it. There was no light on the end of the boXcar. and it was difficult to sec the moving cars. When the cars were dis covered some one cried. Jump" Sey- cral jumped off tho street car, and among the crowd was young Pitts. In jumping Pitts foot slipped and he fell, the freight car catching him and dragging his body a distance Of fully 100 feet. His body was cut in two about the abdomen, one leg and one arm were cut off and his head ground into an unrecognzable mass.
 Coroner A. B. Lampkins viewed the remains and the body was taken to the undertaking establishment of Calvin Brown & Son. The remains were taken home for interment today.
 Dr. Pitt was telephoned to at once and ho arrived on the ? o'clock train this morning.
 Luther Pitt was the oldest child of Postmaster Pitt He has only ono other child living. Young Pitt was model young man and was admired and respect ed by everybody who knew him. When the street car motorman saw the train approaching. he applied the full current to his car and the car passed over the switch safely not having been touched by the feright cars. In jumping off the car Conductor George Norwood got his | head slightly bruised. Two or three others were hurt slightly in jumping. but aside | from this no one else was hurt. Had Luther Pitt remained on the street | car he would have been safe, but the ap- | proaeh of the freight cars and the eX- , citement of the moment caused him to | jump.

SIGN WAGE AGREEMENT.
Thousands of Workmen Are Made
 Happy on Christmas Day.

New York, December 25.-Nc work CTS were happier today than the 100000 skilled men in the building trades when it was announced that every union, with the exception of the housesmiths and bridgemen, had signed trade agreement of from one to three years, to go into effect January l By this action the unions have officially repu- diated the strike of the structural iron workers.
 In nany of the trades the prevailing wage will continue for the coming year The wages of -he house 'arpc1i- ters, however, will be increased BOG a day, and the cabinetmallers will re- ceive an increase of 22c a day, begin ming next July.
 The trade agreements now date from January 1 instead of May as heretofore. This step was taken because the em- ployers do not want strikes on their hands on May 1, when the busy builG- ing season begins.

Negro Holds Crowd at Bay.

Paducah, Ky, December 25.--In a battle between policeman and John ice, a one-legged negro fiagman for t.e Illinois Central, who had barri- caded himself in his tower at Eleventh and Broadway streets, Patrolman James Clark was shot twice in the hip, and Tice was riddlea by scores of peo- pie with rifles and pistols from the sur. rounding streets and roofs. The negro became enrased at some one throwing bricks at his tower and began firing from the tower at people on the streets below. When the police attempted to arrest him he fired on them until he was killed.

From the Washington Star.

From the Washington Star.
 That recent story of the exposure of a card swinder in the progress of big poker game on the Cedric reminds me of something" observed a Washington club man. who goes abroad every year. When l was making the voyage across in the summer of 1902, Liverpool-bound, one of the victims of a poker swndler worked a pretty adroit scheme to make the cheat disgorge, but in working his scheme the victim of the cheat showed himself to be not much better than the swindler when it came to underhandedness, and his get even stunt was viewed with anything but admiration by the men in the card room who witnessed it.
 "rhe heaviest loses in the four handed game of draw, which the professional card shark got going after the ship left this side, was Pittsburg chap, who wore the Indian sign of the hard loser all over him.
 There was really no excuse for that particular game, nor for any other game of draw on that steamer between men unknown to each other, for as soon as the professional card worker of the ship had come on board he had been spotted by the purser. The purser immediately put up placards of warning, notifying all hands that professional gambler was on board, and advising them to play cards with mo- body not personally known to them.
 ''In spite of this as usual, the profess sional sharper had little or no difficulty in getting the four-handed game started, and the three suckers that he assembled around him looked like pretty meaty picking.
 "The professional sharks unerring eye informed him that the young Pittsburger would probably stand to drop the largest wad in the progress of the game, and so he directed his phony work particularly at that player setting him back more than 5000 before the game was forty eight hours old.
 ''The gamblers unerring eye wasn't clever enough. however, to tell him what
