RIOTOUSBRITISH MINERS.

I Temporary Quiet Restared After the Sol-
diers and Police find Fought
the Mob: All Night.

LONDON, Sept. 9. —The rioting among the

Yorkshire miners lasted fiom dusk until
midnight. It is estimated that the rioters
numbered 10,000. All had armed them—
lclves with bludgeons from a neighboring
timber yard. Bonfires were made in the
timber yard by applying barrels of oil to
piles of- lumber. The flames illuminated
the country for miles around.
,1 All the building's at the pit’s mouth were
wrecked by the strikers, and the curves
were hurled down the pit shaft. The flames
szead from the timber yard to some join-
ers’ shops, and all of the shops were burned.
The loss amounts to many thousands of
pounds.

The mob was exasperated at .the presence
0f the soldiers and demanded their with-
drawal. The latest report is that one of the
men wounded by the soldiers has since
died.

Dispatches from Pontefract this morn-
ing confirm last night’s report that one
miner was killed and another was mortally
wounded in the fight there betWeen the
troops and the strikers. The riot-era were
out all night destroying property and
fighting the military and the police. They
have burned the wooden bridge over the
Colliery railway to Lord Mashanik prop—
‘erty.

, The full military and police force was on
duty without cause until 8 a. m. today. At
5 o’clock the riotcrs had been brought un-
der temporary control. Most of the mob
have been scattered, but they are likely to
reassemble.

; Another striker has died of wounds re-
ceived in the fight at Pontefract. The
strikers throughout that district are in a
sullen and dangerous mood. The magis-
tiates have called for more troops, as they
believe that only by an overwhelming dis-
play of force will it be possible to prevent
general fighting and great loss of property.

the Accused W'oman Evidently Decided to
Marry Halliday, as- Soon as She Met
Him—Committed to Jail to Await _
the Action of the Grand Jury.
MIDDLETOWN, N. Y., Sept. 9.—Mrs. Hale
liday, the’woman charged with the murder

of her husband, Paul ‘Halliday, and the

two McQuillan women from Newburg at
Burlingham, was this morning committed

to the county jail at Monticello by'Justlce ' _

Thaye‘r to await the action of the grand
jury. COnstables Spott and Nicholson were
placed in charge (if the prisoner for the
journey over the mountains of ‘30 miles.

Mrs. Halliday rested well last night. She
did not keep up her frantic actions and was
peaceable and submissive.
lynch her was made, it being known that
the officers had taken every precaution to
suppress any outburst by a mob.

The Question of Motive.

NEWBUBG, Sept. 9. ——No one here has yet’ '

pretended to satisfactorily explain the mo-
tive which could have prompted Mrs. Halli—
day to commit the three murders of which
she is accused. It couldn’ thave been mon-
ey, for the McQuillans were poor and had
no money to speak of. It couldn’t have
been rev enge, for the murderess had no ac-
quaintance with her victims before she
drove up to their house and lured them to
their death. Mr. McQuillan says it was
pure devilishness and nothing else. Mrs.

J. B. Smith, who keeps an employment ,

bureau here, tells this story:
“I have not seen Mrs. Halliday since

' she was here with her husband at the

time of the horse stealing. Lizzie Brown,
as she called herself, came to my house one
night and said she had been in this coun-
try but a few days and wanted a place.

She wore an old black dress, scoop hat and.
an old Paisley shawl. I knew it would be

' useless to try to get her a place as she then

looked. and needing Some work done I
gave her an old dress, and while she washed
my clothing I cleaned and altered her dress.

“I got her a place at Mrs. Vaughan’ 8, and
she gave entire satisfaction, although she
went ofi“. twice during the month and re-
mained each time a day and a night, tell-
ing Mrs. Vaughan that she was at my
house. She wasn’t, though, and now I be-
lieve she was in West N ewburg with a
gypsy band. At the end of the month she
gave up her place andfor two days board-
ed with me while a new place was being so-
cured.

“Paul Halliday came in one day. He
said he was a widower, with a wayward
niece of 16 years, and wanted a good woman
to keep house for him and look after the
girl. Lizzie questioned him very business-
like, and it struck me that she was talking
as though she wanted to catch him as a
husband. Halliday told her he was a pen-
sioner, and her eyes snapped and glistened.

She Liked Money.

“When alone, I said to her, ‘Lizzie, if you
get out of a place, come back.’ She said,
II’ll never be out of a place after I get with
him.’ I said: ‘Don’t you get married to
him. He is an old man, and you are ayOung
woman.’ Lizzie said: ‘That’s the best of
it. He won’t live long, and I’ll get the pen-
sion.’ I couldn’t talk her out of the idea,
and it was not surprising when she came
to the house again and said she was mar-
ried. That same time Halliday had drawn
his pension, and she stole it from him. It
was the time she had the trouble about the
horse and claimed to be about to leave
him. She brOught her effects with her, in-
cluding an old Paisley shawl and her mar-
riage certificate. She has not been in my
place since. Halliday came over, and I or-
dered him out, and he never bothered me
again. Mrs. Haliiday had a great eye for
money. She was constantly talking of it,
and it would not be surprising if shekilled
the old man to get his pension money.”

J. Van Allen Whitbeck of this city, from
whom Mrs. Halliday stole a team two years
ago, is decidedly of the opinion that she is
not insane. When she went to .him, she
said she was a poor Irish servant employed
in Newburg. She said her mother ‘was ill
two miles out in the country, and she
wanted to hire a Wagon to go to her. Mr.
Whitbeck let her have a single buggy.
This she paid for, and she engaged a sur-
rey and team for the next day, saying she
wanted to take two girls with her. She got
old John Glynn of west Newburg to' ac-
company her as her husband and then
drove away and sold the turnout.

- Mr. Whitbeck says that the moment she
saw him after her capture she cried:

“Young man, I never saw you before,
and if - you have me locked up you will
burn your fingers.”

She told him, he says, that she could de-
ceive any person, owing to the peculiar
formation of her head, and that Napoleon
Bonaparte had a head just like hers.
Whitbeck also met Halliday, of whom he
formed a poor opinion.

Tralnmen Have Decided. _

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9‘.—A’n analysis of
the votes cast in the house-0'11 the 28th ult.,
together With the statements made by a
number of speakers who‘vdted for the re-
peal of the silver purchase clause of the
Sherman law, has led some friends of sil-
ver to assert that so far as the hou‘seis con-
cerned the question of free coinage of silver
is not settled by any means and certainly
not in the negative. 'While the proposition
to renew the coinage of silver at thematic
of 15 ‘to 1 received but 124 votes ihEthe
course of the balIOting on the various ,Otlier

members in all veted for the use of silver
as money and are all claimed as free coin-
age men by advocates of that policy.

- In addition to these are added by the san-
guine silver men Speaker Crisp and all
those who, in the course of the debate, ex-
pressed a willingness under other conditions
R1 vote for free coinage. These estimated
at 25, which, with the 155 on reocrd. would
make a majority. Upon this basis free sil-
ver men in the house say that if the senate
should amend the VoOrhees bill by adding
some provision for the coinage of silver it
would be passed by the house. ‘And they
profess themselves to be greatly encour
aged over the prospects of some such issue
of the present contrOversy by the develop-
ments in the senate of the past few days.

The New Clerks to Members. ,

The law of the last congress authorizing
the appointment of clerks to~ members of
the house of representatives who are not as
chairmen of committees provided with that

business has thrown a large amount of_ ad-
ditional labor upon the forces of the clerks’
and postmasters’ bureaus. The organize.-
tion of the honse is different from that 01
the senate, a fact which accounts for the
interest the clerk has' in the change.

the members of the house, the salaryae

clerk. Even the sergeant-atarms cannot
pay himself. Therefore it will be readily

to the number heretofOre in charge 0f the
clerk as disbursing ofiicer ”means no small

work Clerk Kerr found it necessaryrto pro-
vide a form of receipt which would pass the
scrutiny of the accounting ofiicers of the
treasury. and it was only after several in
tervlews with the comptrOlIer of the cur
rency and solicitor of the treasury that 8

adopted.

The terms of the law were rather pecul-
iar and in themSelves furnished sufiicieni
reason for- the difiiculty experienced in
getting a form that would pass. -.:The law
prescribed that “on and after April 1,1893.

representatives may on the first day of
every month during sessions of congress
certify to the clerk the amount which he
has paid or agreed to pay- for clerk hire
necessarily employed by him in the dis
charge of his ofiicial and representative
duties during the previous month, provid-

for any month during the session. ” .. -
The members generally were of opinion

ployees, but the law does not recognize the
clerks at all in the transaction, so that the
accounts are opened with the members
themselves, and they must arrange for- pay-
ment to the clerks. So far as kno‘v‘vn there
are no exceptions to the list. Every mem
bar has either paid or agreed to pay 880. 5C
a month for necessary clerk hire performed
for him during that part of August in
which the house was in session. '

Clerk Kerr construed the law to include
the speaker as being entitled to a clerk, in-
asmuch as the only committee of which he
is a member, being chairman ex-ofiicio—
that of rules—”has no clerk. Mr. Kerr 1n-
quired whether or not the speaker desired

Mr. Crisp said he believed he couldf tworry
along without one.

\Vith this addition to the sum of money
handled In his office, Clerk Kerr will die-
burse about 81, 000, 000 annually.

against Mr WolcOtt (Rep, Colo.) on the

suggested that the Colorado senator might

" desire to have the whole product of maple

sugar coined into suitable cakes and put up
in other subsidiary packages which would

to be made legal tender, but would pass

Were received with laughter.

Mr. Faulkner's Remarks. '

Referring to the president’s message, Mr I
Faulkner spoke at the sterling integrity and ~ ix 4
unflinching courage of its author. But if 3 5 '

aftera full consideration of the views of the
president he should hOnestly differ with

' him in his conclusions and find himself un-

able to follow to the full extent on the line

the president had indicated he could not-

surrender. his convictions.

Assuming the premise which he has laid
.llown at some length'to be true-l-that the
great commercial nations of the world, 111-.
cluding the United States, were today com-
mitted to a single gold standarde—every
hour of study strengthened his convictions
that it would be as unwise as it wOuld be
impossible for the United States at this

timeto attempt to establish free and un-g ~:

limited coinage of silver at any ratio and
at the same time preserve the parity be-
tween the two metals.

Gold and silver, although starliped with
the sovereign seal of the nation. were gov-
erned and controlled by the sonic
ciples that influenced other commodities.
He would vote for the re of the Shen-
man law, not because be lieved it to be
the cause of the present business depres-

sion and financial stringency, not that it, "I.

had induced a want of confidence on Ethe
part of the people in the inte ty and sta-
bility of our financial system, at for three
good and sufl‘icient reasons:

First—The authority conferred upon. the l
secretary of the treasury by the act pre- f

sented a menace and tended to depress the
price of silver bullion.

SeicOnd—In the execution of its prOvi-t
sions, especially in the storing of bullion

and the issue‘of treasury notes, it had been
the fruitful source of the strongest argu-
ments against the use of silver as a part of
our menetary system.

Third—The people believed, however, er-I '» V

roneously, that the present disturbance

was mainly due to this act, and that its re- '

peat would assist in restoring confidence,
the want of which was the chief obstacle
to the restoration of business activity. ,

In conclusion Mr. Faulkner said that

provision should at least he made for” ad'. .

ditional coinage of full legal tender silver
dollars at the present ratio to an amount
that would be rapidly absorbed in the busi
ness transactions of the ecuntry, the aggre-
gate amount,
coined and the,. silver bullion in the trees-
ury, which should be directed to be coined.
not to be less than $800 000,000, the coinage
required to be not less than $3,000,000 per
month until it reaches the aggregate limit.

He declared his intention of submitting .

such an amendment.

After Mr. Faulkner closed his spwch,_the
floor was taken by Mr. Turpie (Dem., Ind.),
who addressed the senate in favor of the
principle of bimetallism.
