A Pittsbnrg Pension Attorney Advises Vet- ' crane to Assassinate President Cleve- . land and Sécretary Smith. PITTSBURG. Sept. l4.-—One of the most despicable schemes of which a man can be guilty was laid bare. in the local pension office in the federal building here. A pen- sion attorney has been urging the old soldiers to organize - and to assassinate President Grover Cleveland and Secretary Hoke Smith of the department of the in- terior. The man is reputed to be of sound mind. but in the light of his infamous scheme his reputation on that point will likely need investigation. The pension attorney has been enraged at Secretary Smith’s recent policy. He says it is an attempt to starve the old soldiers, and that the only way to stop it is to assassinate the president and secretary. The pension attorney is not a Pittsburger, it is said, although his identity ‘is kept a secret for the present. matter has been reported to Washington and will be investigated by the authorities. The foolish attorney has made himself liable to charges of inciting to treason. TEE PEERS “’ARNED. A Manifesto Which Has Attracted Much Attention In England. LONDON, Sept. 14.-—-The circular issued by the National Liberal federation over the rejection of the home rule bill is virtually an important ministerial manifesto. The federation has sent to every federated asso- ciation in the _.United Kingdom 3. copy of the manifesto. The circular summarizes the course of the bill in the house of commons and the house of lords and contains the following significant passage: “The seven years’ discussion by the coun- tif'y, the 82days’ consideration by the house commons and the definitely ascertained wishes of'over 2,000,000 of electors are all to count as nothing when opposed to the views of some 400 CenservatiVe peers, representing themselves alone and for the most part as- sembled merely by virtue of being sons of théii‘fathers. ” The importance of the manifesto is great- ly increased by the fact that it is generally accepted that Gladstone was familiar with its contents before it was promulgated.

Welshman YHH HALLIDAY STORY It Is Gradually Working Into Rathei Tangible Shape. . PAVING LESS FREQUENTLY. It Is Alleged That the Accused Woman’s Conduct Depends Largely Upon Whetli- er or Not She Is Alone—Her Confi- dence In Hotel Clerk'Kinney. MONTICELLO, N. Y., Sept. 14—Sane oi deress, has a story to tell which, she evi- ;dently believes, will relieve her from re sponsibility for the crimes committed in her house. She is telling this story piece- insane ravings, but never once forgetting the text. Beginning three days ago with the bare words, “There were two -men, Laney, two men,” she has added daily to the tale un- til now it contains two women as well, an Irishman who lives in a white house with green blinds and an allega ..iOn that old Paul Halliday murdered his half witted son, the youth whom she is credited with burning alive. By the very few friends the being awaited with interest. second only to the interest excited by the finding of the . _bodies of Mrs. McQuillan and her daugh- ter and of old Paul Halliday. - The unrolling of the story is being watch- ed, too, by the population not counted her friends, but witha different sort of interest -—a mere curiosity to know what kind of a tale she is capable of weaving and whether it will be good enough to create a doubt that the general belief in the woman’ s guilt is justifiable. Her Changed Demeanor. The woman in Monticello jail isas dif4 ferent from the woman who was held pris- oner for five days in Constable Scott’s house' in Burlingham as night is from day. There she was rav ing night and day. N 0 word was get from her that by a stretch of imagination could be construed as intelli- gent. She kept up an almost constant struggle with her guards. Here she has no guards. She sits alone in a little cell on the second corridor of the jail. She raves now only when watched and then more like a person whose mind has been wandering and whose senses are just re~ turning than a person violently insane. . She is consistent in this—that she always - raves when she believes any one is near her to hear, while when she feels that no one is about she is as silent as a mouse. Her cell opens on the hall of the house in which the jail is situated. Persons have gone to this door quietly and listened time and time again. They have heard nothing until they placed their hands on the knob, and then the raving would begin. The wo4 man” has defied every effort made to see her when she is quiet. The first thing she did when she was left alone in her cell was to lift the bed around in such a position that she could sit on it and not be seen from the door. To the right of this cell, facing the cot as it stands, is a grated window Open- ing on the corridor of the jail. A final effort was made to catch her quiet by Sheriff Beecher. Early in the morning a'ladder was placed against the wall beneath this window. After listening at her door for 15 minutes, during which not a sound was heard, a reporter, with the .sherifl’s permission, tried to ascend the lad- der and peep through the window. His progress to the top rung was noiseless. 011 the top rung he scraped his,foot accidental- ly. Immediately there was the noise of the woman raving in the cell. She was heard to sit down on the cot, and then she began talking. Hotel Clerk Kinney. Clerk Kinney of- the Rockwell House, ,who has been chosen by Mrs. Halliday as the medium through which to unfold her story, is a fine looking young man with a sympathetic manner. He is the only per- son to whom she will talk. He paid his fourth visit to her. accompanied by two re- porters, the sherifi and three or four men who begged the privilege of a look at the woman. Kinney brought with him a bag of peaches and pears. ' She greeted him with - “Hullo, Nancy! I’m so glad you have come. Oh, Nancy, I must tell you!” ,.Kinney opengd the bag and took out a peach. She declared it was a pumpkin and ate it from his hand. She called a pear a chipmunk and ate that from his hand, and then she began on her story. She repeated things over and over. She avoided every direct question. There were two men, she said. One of them was an Irishman. They came to her house. Her husband brought two women there. He pulled her out of bed and put one of the women in her place. The Irishman pushed her on another bed. She fought him. Then the men fought with sticks. Her husband hit her on the head with a shoe and drove her out into the darkness. One’ of the men told her she must obey him and gave a black bag to . her, telling her she must throw the things away. Her husband had three fires. He gave his nice little boy some awful stuff and put him in an awful place, and then he had three fires. He said he would wipe out the whole family. The Irishman who lived in the white house w ith green blinds threw something in her face. This was her story in brief. She took half an hour to tell it, and every few see- onds she would say: ‘zI will tell Nancy; I ' will tell Nancy. You can’t stop me. They fought like raging lions.” She was also worried by an imaginary face in a corner of the cell. It was a colored woman. she said. When Kinney left, she called, “Be sure and tell this to grandma.” Kinney will call on her daily until he has her whole story. Largest Gas “’ell In the World. FINDLAY, 0., Sept. 14.~—All previous rec. ords in gas wells havevbeen broken. Yes- terday D. T.

He retired to his stateroom soon after supper. It had been his custom to rise at 8 o’clock. As he had not appeared at 9 o’clock, Captain Da- vis sent a messenger to call him. . There was no response to the messenger’s knocks, and when told of this Captain Da- vis became uneasy. He waited until al- most 11 o’clock, when he again sent the messenger with orders to find out if any- thing was wrong. As the messenger could get no response, he summoned the head saloon man. To- gether they went and tried to look through the blinds on the stateroom window. The blind was fastened on the inside. Finding the Body. They reported again tothe captain, and stated that a peculiar odor coming from the stateroom led them to suspect that all was not right. The captain at once ordered that the window be broken open. ' This was done, and Mr. Ames was then seen to be lying on his face upon the floor. He was dressed only in his nightshirt. His clothing had been neatly arranged on the hooks in the stateroom. A hurried exam- ination of the body, according to Captain Davis, indicated that Mr. Amos had died ' of heart disease. The coroner was notified of Mr. Ames’ death, andan undertaker took charge of the remains. George Gould and Judge Sidney Dillon, friends of the dead capital- ist, were also notified, and Judge Dillon went directly to the steamboat. The coroner’s investigation into the death of Frederick L. Ames developed the fact that he died from cerebral apoplexy. A permit was given to allow the body to be taken to Boston on the Pilgrim. Mr. Ames’ Career. BOSTON. Sept. 14.—Mr. Ames was not only the richest man in New England, but was one of the most widely esteemed of the citizens of this commonwealth. He never forgot faithful servants or friends, and his kindly bearing and gentle manner en- deared him to all with whom he came in , contact. Mr. Ames left his Office in the Ames building about‘ 1 o’clock yesterday and appeared to be' in perfect health. He bade all the gentlemen a pleasant gobdby. He performed his widest public service in the active, intelligent direction of the many. railroad and other corporations with which he was identified He had been for many years the working directorin the Union Pacific, which his uncle and father orig- inally built. He was also an active direc- tor in the General Electric corporation, the Western Union Telegraph company, the Chicago and Northwestern and about 70 other railroad companies. He headed the list of directors in all the leading trust companies of Boston, was the largest real estate owner in this city and had very large real estate interests in Kansas City, Omaha and other_growing places in the _ west. Mr. Ames was 58 years of age, was a member of the corporation of Harvard col- lege and identified with many charitable organizations. He had the finest collection of orchids in the United States at his home in North Easton, and valuable collections of paintings, rare china, etchings, etc., at his home' in Boston. Notwithstanding his vast interests in railroads, real estate and manufacturing, he kept well abreast of the best literature and the latest discoveries in science. The real estate on which Mr. Ames paid taxes in Boston is assessed for $6,100, 700, all of which IS free of incumbrance except the Trein'ont House, which had a mortgage when he bought it. All ' this real estate paid taxes last year of $78, 699, and nearly all of it returned from 6 to7 I'per cent upon the investment. Mr. Ames leaves five children, about 835-, 000,000 and one of the widest circles of' friends and business aesociates of any man _ in the United States. Ex-Reprcsentative Vance Assigns.

During the Pagtifren Years Many New Drugs Have Been- Brought Into Service For Diseases and Gbmplalnts Which. Though Common, We‘i-c Hard to Treat. Only a few years ago,‘ coal tar was looked upon as a "waste preduct.” At the present day, however, it is no longer treated as such, for through the almost lets enough new remedies have already been obtained from coal tar toiill a gOod sized phprmacopoeia. Aboutt “be first one of these products antipyrine, which made its appearance some 10 years agorand became popular-~- grlppe of several years ago This Was thbughthan it had a new name; was on older fiyrine,= haying. been known for seve years as acetanilid. a name derived from the substances from which it was made. It is prepared by the action of acetic acid on aniline oil. The aoetanilid is now used by many doctors in preference to antipyrine. The principal features in its ‘favor are small~ ness of dose, less danger Of a depressing _- effect on the heart and cheapness. The price of acetanilid is hardly onetenthc that of antipyrine. Phenaoetine is another drug of this class which has met with much success and apparently deservedly so. It has been used with excellent results in the treatment of influenza. the hyperaestlie- tism, both muscular and articular. and quinine in the treatment of the above mentioned afiections, and the results re- ported are invariably of a very satisfac- tory nature. One of the most interesting of the coal tar derivatives is saccharin, a substance that” is 280 times sweeter than sugar. The medicinal properties of this drug are an- tiseptic and sweetening. As a substi- tute forsu gar it isused in the dietary of gout, iabetes and all diseases in which saccharine foods are contraindi- cated. It has also been used to disguise the taste of medicines for children. To give one an idea of the sweetening power that one grain of the drug will sweeten an ordinary cup of coffee. If sugar were used at least a half ounce or a table- spoonful, would be necessary. In the treatment of mental diseasesul- phonal is considered a. very valuable agent. The drug could hardly have achieved success had it been introduced under its chemicr 1 name, which contains just two letters more than the entire al- is the “jawbreaker” by which it isknown technically. The value of sulphonal as a hypnotic seems to be pretty well established. It has been used with marked success in . the treatment of slee lessness caused by fatigue and worry. t is also said to be of equal service in cases of acute mania, imbecility, melancholia, dementia, epi- ism. One observer stated that in every case treated “the slumber was accom- panied by no disturbances of circulation or respiration and lasted from trim to; five hours or longer.” » From 15 to 80 grains are usually given as a dose. Even in very large doses the digestive func- tions are not disordered, and there are no disagreeable after efiects beyond a slight drowsiness and a feeling of lassitude the next day. In combination with hyoscine hydro- bromate, sulphonal is saidto form a very good treatment for the insomnia and restlessnesspof Opium habitues. When a coal‘tar product is introduced, it can al- most be taken for granted that one of the four medicinal properties is claimed for it. The four properties are antipyretic, analgesic. antiseptic and hypnotic. “ Trional, which hails from Elberfeld, Germany, is brought forward as a candi- date for therapeutic favor. It possesses the last'named property. Brie of Bonn has found trional of value in treating in- somnia or hysteria and neuraSthenia in cases of great obstinacy and which had failed to respond to any other treatment. In maniacal excitement and paralytic mania, he reports excellent results in 90 per cent of the cases treated. Salophen, although not distinctly a “coal tar derivative,”' is partly so, as one of its component parts, carbolic acid, is derived from coal tar. It is "said to be a valuable remedy in the treatment of ar-' ticular rheumatism. The dose is from 15 to 20 grains three or four times a day. . The very latest in the long line of coal tar products is gallanol. It is prepared by boiling tannin with aniline. It is' in. troduced as a substitute for pyrogallic acid, having the advantage of being non- toxic and nonirritant. In the treatment of skin afiections it has been used with success. Cazeneuve, the introducer' Of the drug, reports great success in treating psoria- sis by ainting the spots with gillanol suspen ed in chloroform and covering them with a solution of gutta purcha' in chloroform, called traumaticin.—New York World.
