A Row Between the Associated Press
and the Western Union.
ABOUT A MATTER OF $25,000
The Associated Press Refused to Pay the
Western Union's Charges, Claiming
I an Oil‘set, and the Telegraph
Company Turned It Down.
NEw YORK, Oct. 21.—Much interest has
been excited in journalistic circles by the
announcement of a serious misunder-
standing between the Western Union
Telegraph company and the Associated
Press, and many wild rumors are in circu‘
lotion. The following statement from
Mr. W. B. Somerville, press agent of the
\Vestern Union Telegraph company, tells
the situation. 4 .
The Cause of the Trouble.
The difliculty is about alleged obliga—
tions to the Western Union Telegraph
company for leased wires, and the wires
about which the difference arose are leased
by the New York Associated Press. The
wires leased for the use of the Western
Associated Press have been paid for, those
for the New York Associated Press have
not been settled for and the obligation
counts from June last to the present
time, the amount being about $25,000.
Refused to Pay. .
The joint committee of the New York
and Western Associated Press first took -
the matter in hand. That committee con-
sists of representatives of the New York
Herald, New York Tribune, New York
Sun, Louisville Courier-Journal and the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. The
question at issue was by them referred to
the members of the joint committee repre-
senting the New York Associated Press.
The latter con eluded not to pay the West-
ern Union company on the ground that
it ‘was Offset by overcharges.
:I'he “'lres Cut 011'.
The \Yesteru Union accordingly notified
the N ew York Associated Press yesterday
that its lenscd wires would be cut Off at
once, and it was done. The wires in ques-
tion are one wire from New York to Chi-
cago, two wires from New York to \Yash—
ington, one wire from Washington to
Richmond and Norfolk, and one wire from
Memphis to New Orleans.
Henson Says He Is Innocent.
LEAvnNWOETII, Kan, Oct. 21,—Charles
A. Benson, convicted Ofthe murder of Mrs.
Mott man ,whose mutilated body was found
in a sack in the river at the government
reservation near here, will ‘be executed
Nov. 4. He has written a letter in which
he accuses John Mcttman, thevictim’s hus-
band, and Mary Rantzoh, the victim’s
daughter, of having committed the crime.
He says the murder was committed in
the Mettman house and that he witnessed
it from the outside through a window.
Mary Rzintzob, he says, gave him money
to'go away with, so that he would not
turn up as a witness against herself and
father. It is generally believed that this
alleged confession contains no truth.
Colon‘cl Joseph Lowery Dead.
UTICA, N. Y., Oct. 21,—Colonel Joseph
Stewart Lowery, aged forty-nine years, a
native Of Oriskany, this county, died here
last evening. He organized Comp'any D,
of the One Hundred and Forty-sixth regi-
ment, N. Y. S. V., and for bravery in the
field was promoted from sergeant to colo-
nel. He was wounded in Such a. peculiar
manner that his case was one of the only
two in which the victims have been known
to survive.
The World’s‘Fair.
CHICAGO, Oct. 21.—The board of control
has decided that exhibitors from Latin-
American countries may display their
goods in either the departmental buildings
or in the collective exhibit of the Latin-
The assumption here-
before has been that such exhibits would
be given place in the Latin-American doc
partmeut.
Yellow Fever in Brazil.
NEW YORK, Oct. 21.——-A dispatch to the
Maritime exchange says that yellow fever
is increasing at Santos. One hundred ves-
sels which have not yet commenced dis-
charging are ordered outside until their
turn for discharge. Vessels arriving are
not admitted into the Santos harbor until
berths are available.
No Bottom to the Hole.
PITTSBURG, Oct. 21.—For six weeks la-
borers working for the Alleghany Valley
railroad have dumped thirty carloads of
slag per day into a. hole near the track
fifteen miles from Pittsburg, but the stufl
sinks and no impression is made on the
hole, which cannot be filled up.
BRIEF DIENTION.
The secretary of state of Florida has at-
tached his signature and the seal of the
state to the proceedings of the legislature
by which Call was returned to the United
States senate, thus ignoring the order of
Governor Fleming.
The two little girls of Mrs. Emily Zer-
bucher, living in Buffalo, were kidnaped
by their father, who had separated from
his wife. The mother has gone crazy over
the loss and will be taken to an asylum.
The Methodist ecumenical council at
Washington adopted an ecumenical ad-
dress to Methodists all over the world,
which spoke of the work done in the past
and pointed to the struggles of the future
and prophesied a. great success. The re—
port of the statistical committee showed
that the church had 25,000,000 adherents
throughout the world.
By the explosion of an engine on the
Frackville branch, about seven miles from
Pottsville, Pa, Henry \Vagner, the engi-
neer, and Mohlon Keith and Charles Hor-
nicker, brakemen, were instantly killed,
and Charles Bowers was fatally injured.
Mr. and Mrs. William Huyler, of Schrod-
ienburg, while attempting to cross the
railroad near Englewood, N. J., in their
carriage, were struck and instantly killed
by .an express train on the West Shore
road. The horses were alsokilled.
Mr. Hoey, in his letter of resignation as
nsnager of the. Adams Express company,
denied the charges made against him, and
olfered to make restitution for any breach
of trust which might be proved. The fact
was made public that he had executed
three mortgages of real estate as recently
as Saturday last.
Frank C. Hutchinson, of the Alleghany
National bank, of Pittsburg, was fatally
injured while driving with his family in
Colorado Springs. His wife and daughter
were slightly out and bruised. The acci-
dent was caused by the upsetting of his

l‘ho Spccr New Jersey Wine Company
and Pascale Item Burned Out.
PASSAIC, N. Y., Oct. 21,—The great ware
house of the Speer New Jersey Wine com-
pany caught fire, and it burned so rapidly
that in two hours it was totally destroyed.
The firemen did good work, but were up.
able to save the building, as great quanti.
ties of spirits stored made the place burn
like tinder. With the exception of a. few
papers, nothiuf was saved. The oflice and
plant Of the Passaic Item, which were in
the building, were also destroyed. The
origin of the fire is not known.
A stranger passing along the street first
discovered the fire. He sent out an alarm,
and the entire fire department responded.
[n a short time a great crowd assembled
to look at the flames. It was feared at
one time that the First Reformed church
would be,burncd, but this was saved.
That part of the warehouse which stood
on the west shore of the Passaic river has
been standing for thirty years. The ware-
house was four stories high and was built
of brick. Between 500 and 1,000 barrels of
wine were consumed by the flames. The
loss will reach $100,000. There was some
insurance on the place, the precise amount
of which is not known.
Set on Fire by Tramps. '
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J ., Oct. 2i.—The
large brewery of Joseph Schneider, in
Highland park, opposite this city, was set
on fire by tramps. Six buildings, includ-
in g a dwelling house, were burned with
their contents. The loss is $80,000. The
property was insured for $27,000.
COY CONFESSES T0 MURDER.
But According to His Story Be Did It
in Self Defense.
PITTSFIELD, Mass, Oct. 21.—William
Coy has confessed the murder of John
Whalen, whose body was found last Tues-
day buried on the mountain side at Wash-
ington. In his confession he says he
learned on A ug. 29 that Whalen had
planned an elopement with Mrs. Coy.
When he got home late that night Whalen
was away. He went into the house to get
a. lantern to hunt up Whalen. He could
find no trace of him, and returned to the
house and found Whalen’s trunk stand-
ing in his room. He broke it open and
found his wife’s clothing packed in it.
‘Vhile examining the trunk Whalen came
in. \Vhalen asked Coy what he was doing
with his trunk, and a quarrel followed.
According to the story told by Coy,
Whalen stepped out and returned, armed
with an ax and club, and struck Coy with
his fist, knocking him into a corner.
Whaien subsequently struck at Coy twice
with the ax. The latter grappled with
him, and after a severe struggle succeeded
in wresting the ax from him.
Ithlen then made an onslaught on Coy
with the club, and the latter in self de-
fense struck W’halen on the head with the
ax, smashing his skull and killing him
almost instantly. "
A Woman Attacks a Judge.
HAMILTON, 0., Oct. 21.—-—There was a sen-
sational scene in the common pleas court
room here, Judge Hume presiding. Some
time ago Mrs. Kimball brought suit for
breach of promise against Harrison Kim-
ball for $10,000. The .case was compro-
mised by the attorneys and dismissed
without record by mutual agreement.
The woman failing to have the case rein-
stated became furious, and seizing Judge
Hume, struck him twice. She was about
to hit him again, when a. court messenger
seized her. She fought like a. demon and
was getting the best Of the messenger,
when a court bailiff came to the rescue.
She was taken to jail, but released later in
the day. -
'llic Harrisburg Investigation.
HARRISBURG, Oct. 21. —-The senate
changed its plan and took up the case of
State Treasurer Boyer first. The attorney
general conducted the proceedings against
Boyer, and created a surprise by admit-
ting that the state treasurer was not re-
spousibie, as implied in the governor’s
message, for $286,232.96 of personal. prop-
erty tax, because at the time of Bardsley’s
arrest the payment was not yet due the
state. and Boyer could, therefore, have had
no official knowledge that it was in the
Philadelphia’s treasurer’s possession. The
evidence presented by Mr. Hensel was
principally that of the governor’s and
mayor’s experts. Adjourned till Wednes-
day.
A Rain Making Company Formed.
TOPEKA, Oct. 21.—A. B. Montgomery, of
Goodland, Stephens county, Kan., where
Melbourne recently made his rain making
experiments, has filed with the secretary
of state the charter of the Artificial Rain
Producing company. As directors of the
company are named six Stephens county
men. The capital of the concern is placed
at $100,000, and the object of the company
is stated to be"‘to furnish water to the
public by producing and increasing the
fall of rain” by the Melbourne plan. Mel-
bourne will do the rain producing, and the
company has contracted to pay him ten
cents per acre for all the land watered by
him during next summer’s season.
-A Loan Fraternity Fails.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 21.—The supreme
Officers of the Beneficial Loan fraternity
made a. voluntary assignment for the
benefit of the certificate holders to Joseph
W. Kenworthy, Jr.
The Beneficial Loan fraternity is the
first long term order to go under. It was
a six year order, chartered in Pennsylva-
,nia. Its supreme officers located in this
city are: Supreme president, Dr. A. H. P.
Leuf; supreme secretary, Elmer E. Krauss,
and supreme treasurer, Henry E. Cornog.
The Loan fraternity has an annual branch
which is also included in the deed of as-
signmeut.
A Dance Ends in Murder.
LIMA, 0., Oct. 21.—A dance at Fort Sen-
eca broke up in a murder and the fatal
wounding Of several persons. Frank
Workerly, who owned the hall, while un-
der the influence of liquor, went in and,
flourishing his revolver, ordered every one
out. Two men, Frank Williams and
George Lewis, attempted to disarm him,
when» he shotoWilliams dead andfatally
wounded Lewis. Several others were
wounded and the murderer was not over-
powered until he had emptied his weapon.
The Bicycle Contest.
NEW YORK, Oct. 21.—-Jack Prince, who
was the starting favorite in the six days’
bicycle race at Madison Square Garden,
having been seized with an attack of ver-
tigo, by the advice of his physician has
retired from the contest. He had only
scored 264. miles. ”The leaders are break-
ing no records, but are doing good work.

Demanded by the President.
The Loss of the Despatoh.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.—Major General
Oliver 0. Howard, commanding the mili-
tary department of the east, devotes much
space in his annual report to the war de-
partment to the discussion of coast de-
fenses. He says that at New York, San-.31 .
Francisco and Boston new guns and mor-
bars are needed. Many fixed torpedoes or
submarine mines have, however, been al-
ready cOnstructed for use at these points.
General Howard calls special attention
to the necessity of having fortified points
as a basis of a proper defense of our na-
tional interests, and recommends that a
complete defense of the combined harbors
of Savannah and Port Royal, S. 0., by
works on Tybee, Hilton Head, Parry and
St. Helena islands be established, as the
most available points for that purpose.
Increased pay for noncommissioned of-
ficers is also recommended. General How-
ard gives but a half hearted indorsement
of the canteen system, and says that no
soldier should be permitted to act as abar—
keeper in a canteen.
The contract for building torpedo beat
No 2 was today awarded by the navy de-
partment to the Iowa iron works of Du-
buque, 1a., at their bid of $113,500. The
boat is to be of 120 tons displacement, and
is to be finished within one year.
Baum Hasn’t Resigned.
At the White House neither confirma-
tion nor denial could be Obtained concern-
ing the rumors that ex—Governor Steele,
of Oklahoma, is to succeed Raum as com— ‘
missioner of pensions. The report comes
from the friends of Governor Steele, and
has that /measure of authenticity.
Commissioner Raum was seen at his
residence by a reporter, and in reply to in-
quiries said:
“My resignation has not been tendered,
nor has it been asked. For some months
similar reports have been circulated con-
cerning me and these have come from un-
friendly sources. I saw Governor Steele
in Chicago recently. We are friends and
talked over many matters, but no hint
came from him that the president desired
to place him at the head of the pension
office. J ust“"‘why rumors have been start-
ed at this particular time that I am in-
tending to resign or have resigned, Ido
not know. There is no reason why I
should tender my resignation.”
It was apparent from the manner of the
commissioner that he does not intend to
resign under fire.
The Loss of the Despatch.
The officers of the lighthouse board are
feeling jubilant over the exoneration of
their service from responsibility in con-
uection with the recent 1053 of the Des-
patch at Assateague. They have now re-
ceived proofs that the schooner Drift,
which was temporarily acting as the As-
sateague lightship, was sighted on her
station by the steamer Fairfax at 9:30 p. In.
on Friday, Oct. 9; by the steamship Dela-
ware on Saturday at 3:30 a. m., and by the
United States ship Yantic on Sunday
morning at 11 o’clock. The Despatch
went ashore on the night of Oct. 9—10, and
these reports prove that 'thc Drift must
have been in her proper plate at that time
and considerably later.
It will be necessary for Lieut. Cowles,
therefore, to explain to the naval court,
which investigates his accident, how he
came to make in between the lightship
and the shore, instead Of standing out
where it was safe.
A Good Achievement.
It is considered, also, a. good achieve-
ment to have sent out a searching party
to hunt up a missing ship on the high
seas, and to have found both her and her
crew after the latter had apparently de-
