EOME FTJETHEE ABRESTS ARE STILL TO BE MADE rsrrciAL txlegbam to im dispatch, l Phladelphii, October 27. Charles H. Heustis, editor of the Jnquirtr, appeared before Magistrate O'Brien at 3 o'clock this afternoon to answer a charge of criminal libel preferred by Robert E. Fattison. Mr. Heustis was arrested on a warrant sworn out by Mr. Pattison this morning, and at the same time warrants were also issued for the arrest of James Elverson, President of the Inquirer Com-pan- v; Claytcn McMichael, editor and pro- prietor of the 2ibrth American, and W. F. Jordan and J. J. McLaurin, editors and publishers of the Harrisburg Call, who were charged by the with the same offense. The cbarcc of libel is based upon the simultaneous publication in the papers in ques ua on Saturday, October 25, purport- ing to g've the secret history o I the approval by Mr. Pattison when he was Governor of the State of measures which had .passed the Legislature, known as tho South Penn Rail- road bills lonr in number. The Charges .Against Pattison. In the three papers mentioned there was published on Saturday morning an article which charged that Governor Pattison had been bribed by the Tanderbilts to sign what were known as the South Penn bills of 1883, and that the Governor sought out and Jeremiah S. Black to write a veto message, and having received it, with the understanding that it was to be sent to the Legislature, he changed his mind by the next morning, and without notice to Judge Black, approved the bills, and that Judge Btack denounced Governor Pattisou for his alleged deception and severed all amicable relations with him. The article also charged that $30,000 in stock bad been pid to Governor Pattisw and Attorney General Lewis J. Cassidy for the signing of a bill chartering a Pittsburg natural gas corporation. When the hearing began the little office :n which Magistrate O'Brien holds court, st Fifteenth and Ridge avenue, was filled. Lawyers Shakespeare and Heverin were on hand to look after the interests of Messers. Heustis and Elverson, while Mayor Sulz- berger, assisted by Richard P. "White, con- ducted the case for Mr. Pattison. The only other prominent men present were of the Commonwealth "William S. Stenger and Judge James Gay Gordon. In introducing the case Mr. Sulzberger read several extracts from the article complained of as published in th? Inquirer and offered a copy of the paper of Saturday last in evi- dence. The Complainant on the Stand. Pattison was then called to the stand, and after being duly sworn was naked by his counsel. ""What were the re- lations of yourself and Judge Black previ- ous to the time of hi? death?" "Always of the most friendly character," was the reply. "So far as I know Judge ItUrkdied entertaining a very friendly feeling toward me." "Did y .1 ever send for him and ask him to help you come to a decision regarding the South Penn bills?" "I never did. He came to me to offer objections to their passage just as any other citizen might do." "When questioned as to the date of Judge Black's visit Mr. Pattison said: "It was the lirst part of the last week of May, 1883, I think on Monday." Counsel then asked: "What was his posi- tion regarding the passage of those bills?" "He was opposed to them." "And your own position?" "I was in favor or them from the first and so stated to Judge Black, I was in favor of them the same as I would be in favor of any half-doze- n other lines which bv offering competition would benefit the citizens of Pennsylvania." Passed by a Republican Legislature. In reply to several questions the stated that the lonr bills had passed both Honscs of the Legislature in the regular order of legislation, the Legislature being at that time Republican by a large tujonty. "On what grounds did Judge Black ob- ject to the parage of the bill?" was the next question. To this Lawyer Shakespeare objected, but he Magistrate allowed the question. ' "His argument was principally that the passage of the bills would only assist in building up another monopoly," was the re ply ot Mr. Pattison. The Governor then stated how he signed the bill extending the time for the comple tion of the railroads in the State and the one relating to terminal points to which rail roads may be constructed. This part of the matter having been heard, Judge Black's visit and argument were again taken up. In a general statement which counsel asked him to give, Mr. Pattison said that Judge Black had continued his argument over a space of three or four days. "Did you ask Judge Black to prepare a veto message for you which would not only take the hair off all the scoundrels heads, but would clean the marrow out of their bones?" was asked. One falsehood Pointed Out. "I did not, and any statement of that nature or which in any way implies such a request as having emanated from me is false" was the reply. "What was the nature of the paper which Judge Black did leave with you?" "After having argued for such a length of time and finding that I still approved of the bills, Judge Black asked permission to leave with me a paper giving in substance his arguments, and the paper which he left with me was simply a summary of his ob- jections written out for my consideration." "When did you next see Judge Black?" Mr. Sulzberger asked. "At a dinner given by me in honor of the judges of the Supreme Court the following week when he sat at my richt. That was the last time I saw him, but I received a letter Iroin him on June 5 regretting his in ability to say good-by- e before leaving Har- risburg after the dinner " When questioned concerning the nlleged visit to New York, the Governor stated that he knew nothing whatever of it. "'Did you know anything of the charter- ing of the Pittsburg .Natural Gas Com- pany?" was asked. "I know that the company was regularly chartered under the provisions of the State laws for the chartering of any corporation." The Natural Gas Story Nailed. "How about the statement that the com- pany paid $30,000 in shares to the Pattison crowd for the approval of the charter?" asked Mr. Sulzberger. Mr. Pattison quickly replied: "That is absolutely false. No such payment was ever made. There was no bill or anv meas ure of any kind for which any consideration was ever paid in an shapo or form what- ever either to me or to any member of my Cabinet or any one in any way connected with the Administration either directly or indirectly." "Were" yon. aware of the movement on foot to make you a member of President Cleveland's Cabinet?" was asked. "Not until I read the story on Saturday. I was asked to become a member of the com- mission to inquire into the condition of the Pacific Railroad companies, and, after hav- ing declined the honor twice, accepted it at Mr. Cleveland's earnest solicitation." The only question asked in th-- j by Mr. Shakespeare was: "You are a Gubernatorial candidate for on next Tuesday?" After the Governor's answer in the affirm- ative the opposing counsel indulged in a friendly bout on the subject of libel suits. A Tilt Concerning Libel Salts. Mr. Shakespeare saying that they were not always settled before election and Mr. Sulzberger replying that sometimes they were not even instituted before. JudgeGordou siiexcalled, to the sta'cdand in answer to a series of questions by Mr. Sulzberger, said that he remembered the bills very well and had voted against two of them in the State Senate and was absent when the third was passed. He had, however, voted for the reduction of the capitalization from S750.000 to $300,000 per mile in the bill returned by Governor Patti- son for amendment. At the request of 0 udgc Black, Senator Gordon had given the bills to Lieutenant Governor Black to be sent to his father, and he had also received Judge Black's tele- gram begging for an interview with the Governor. Judge Gordon was not present at any time from Monday to Thursday dur- ing the hearing of the argument and had never heard of the veto message. "Did Judge Black ever speak: disparag- ingly ot Governor Pattison to you?" vras asked. "No; to me he was always the Governor's eulogist." "Did you co with the party, as alleged, to New York?" was the next question. "No." "When did you go to New York?" "I went to New York first alter the pas- sage of the bill in March, 1884, and during the visit the bills were in no way referred to, for they hud been laws for nine months. Everytning either said or implied in the published statement is false." No was made. Stenger as a Witness. of State Stenger was next called and stated that he was always in favor of the passage of the bills,as the South Penn Railroad would be a benefit to the Southern tier of counties in which he lived. He said that he had no knowledge of any invitation to Judge Black from Governor Pattison for a conference on the measure. He W3s present at the argumen: on the last day, Thursday, and saw the paper which Judge Black had prepared. It' was spoken of as a condensed report of the argument offered against the bills. "Was there anything in it of the nature of a veto?" he was asked. "No, there was nothing of the kind, nor did Judge Black ever, in my presence, say anything unkind either to or about the Governor." "Did yoa know anything of the use of money in securing the charter of the Pitts- burg Gas Company?" "I was not aware of any offer of the kind to anyono connected with the administra- tion. The article is in every particular false," said Mr. Steneer. This closed the offering of evidence, and in a few words Mr. Silzberger put the case before the Magistrate. He said: "The ar- ticles as published give the case as happen- ing on June 3, 1883, and that date, you will find, fails on a Sunday. The whole thing is A Deliberate lie Fabricated for campaign purposes. The relations of Mr. Fattison and Judge Black were of the most friendly nature, as is shown by the fact of Judge Black attending a dinner, as Mr. Pattison's invited guest, and occupying a seat of honor." Mr. White supplemented the argument with the statement that on June 3, when the alleged stormy interview is cited as hav- ing occurred, Judge Black had left Harris- burg. Mr. Sulzberger1 then asked that the defendant be held in bail sufficient to insure his appearance at court. Mr. Heustis was held in $1,600 bail and Mr. Elverson, having waived a hearing through his counsel, was .held in the same amount, P. W. McDowelLentering bond in the amounts required. Mr. McDowell was anxious to enter bail for Mr. McMichael also, but Lawyer Sulzberger insisted that he should be arrested "like any other. criminal.' The hearing in the cases of W. P. Jor- dan, J. J. McLaurin and Clayton Mc- Michael has been set for Wednesday at 13 o'clock noon. Messrs McMichael and Elverson arc out ot town, and Mr. Mc- Michael will b: arrested as soon as he re- turns.

Sitting1 Ball Waking the Spirit of Revengo Among the Braves. a COLORADO SETTLERS CALL FOR 11ELP Washington, October 27. The Indian Bureau has received from Agent McLaugh- lin at the Standing Rock Indian agency a report upon the prospective outbreak among the Sioux in consequence of the promised coming of the "New Messian." The agent says: n I trust that I may not bo considered an alarm- ist, to and I do not wish to ba understood as con- sidering the present state of excitement so alarming as' to apprehend any imniediato up- rising or serious outbreak, but 1 do feel it my duty to report the present craze and nature or the incitement existing among the "Sitting Bull" factions of Indians over the expected Indian millennium," the annihilation of the white man and supremacy of the Indians, which is looked for not later than next spring. They are promised by some members of the Sioux tribe, who have lately developed into "medicine men," that tlio Great Spirit has promised them that their punishment by tiio dominant race has been sufficient, and that their numbers having now become so deci- mated will be by all Indians who are dead. DEAD INDIANS RISING. Further, they say the dead are all returning to this earth which belongs to the Indians; that they are driving back with them as they return immense herds of buffalo and elegant wild horses to have for the catching: that the Great Spirit promises them that the white men will be unable to make gun powder in future: that be will cover the earth with SO feet of additional soil, well sodded and tim- bered, under which the whites will all be smothered. "Sitting Bull" is the high priest of this latest Indian absurdity; m a word, he is the chief mischief maker at this agency, and if he were not hero this craze so general among the Sioux would never have secured a foothold at this agency. He has been a disturbing element here since his return from confinement as a military prisoner in the spring of 1SS3, but has been growing gradually worse the past vear, which is partly to be accdnnted for by the presence of a lady named Mrs. C. Wei-do- Irom Brooklyn, who came here in Jnne, lSSl', announcing herself as a member of Br. Bland's society, the Indian Defense Associa- tion, and opposed to the Indians ratifying the act ol March 2, 1SS9. MCNEY FOR SITTING BULL. While here she bestowed numerous presents upon Sitting Boll, considerable being money, which bad a demoralizing effect upon him, in. flating him with his importance. The woman is now located on tho north bank of Cannon Ball river, just outeide of this reser- vation, and about 25 miles north of the agency. Sitting Bull has been a frequent visitor to her house, and he has grown more insolent and worthless with every visit he has made there, her lavish expendituro of money and other gifts npon him enabling him to give frequent feasts and hold councils. On the 9th Instant, upon an invitation from Bitting Bull, an Indian named Kicking Bear, belonging to the Cheyenne River Agency, the chief medicine man of the ghost dance among the Sioux, arrived at Sitting Bull's camp, on Grand river, to inaugurate a ghost dance and is initiate the members. Upon learning of his ar- rival there I sent a detachment of 13 policemen but thev returned without executing the order, a both officers being in a "dazed" condition and fearing the powers of Kicking Bear's medicine. Sitting Bull was very insolent to the omcers, and made the threats against certain members of force, but said that the visitors would leave the following day. INDIAN INSOLgU UU UIO lilll Bern.

Desiring xo exhaust all reasonable means be- fore resorting to extremes I have sent a mess- age to Sitting Bull by his nephew One Bull, that I want to see him at the agency and I feel quite confident that I shall succeed in allaying tho present excitement anu put a stop to this absurd craze for the present, at least, A dispatch from Denver says: Telegrams and letters in great numbers have been ad- dressed to Governor Cooper during the past month asking that steps be taken to protect on the settlers in Rout conntv.

Thrilling Story of an Adventure In Upper Michigan Wilds. Escanaba, Mich., October 27. A hunting, party composed of A. Bogy, of Princeton, III., and Martin Myers and Thomas McKinney, of this city, have had a tragical experience in the wilds of the Northwest, from the Little hamlet Metropolitan. Friday Myers and Rogy left McKinney alone for a time in camp. Becoming lonely, he started on short exploring expedition into the brnsh. He' neglected to keep his bearings, and on attempting to return found himself bewildered. The lost hunter was without weapons or food. When Meyers and Rogy reached the camp they searched for the mifsing companion, and then set out for Metropolitan. The two hunters promptly joined with the village authorities in oSering a large re- ward for the discovery of the lost man. The villagers turned ont almost to a man. Last evening the party was almost ready abandon the quest, when they stumbled upon McKinney, who, ex- hausted and dazed almost to stupor by exposure and hunger, was still alive pulling weeds and brush to build a singal fire. The unfortunate was conveyed to Metropolitan, where to-d- he was uncon- scious the greater portion of the time. It is hardly probable that he will survive until morning. ANOTHER AIRING IN COURT. The Husaboe Breach of Promise Suit Ar- gued Again.; rSPECIAt, TELEQBaM TO THE DISPATCH.l Sceanton, October 27. The breach of promise suit brought by Miss Annie H. Husaboe against the Rev. Peter Roberts had another airing in court this morning in the shape of an argument for a new trial. Counsel for the recreant minister, Mr. Ed- wards, argued that the action of Mr. Pitcher, counsel for the plaintiff, in taking the stand and revealing the confession which the minister mado to him was unpro- fessional and should not have been per- mitted. Mr. Pitcher swore that the min- ister confessed to him the promise of mar- riage. This, with the clergyman's damaging letters, led to his conviction. Counsel lot Mr. Roberts also alleged that Miss Husaboe had once brought a suit against a man in Wisconsin for a similar case in all respects. Mr. Colborn, counsel for Miss Husaboe, challenged the .'proof of this last statement, and hinted that had Miss Husaboe so desired she could have produced evidence which would have blasted the reputations of others who were students of Yale. HE WILL GO AHEAD. Despite an Injunction Mayor Mosby AVill Appoint a New .Board. Cincinnati, October 27. Contrary to general expectation, an application was made this afternoon for an injunction to re- strain Mayor Mosby from appointing the members of the Board of City Affairs, au- thorized by the act of Legislature passed on Friday last. The application was made to Judge Hunt, of the Superior Court, by Louis Reemlin, William Montgomery and Ed Dunham, of the Board of Public Im- provements, which was abolished by the same act. The ground of the application that the act of Legislature is illegal and void because it is unconstitutional in being special act conferring corporate powers, and in that it limits the selection ot the members of the two leading political par- ties. Mayor Mosby said in the morning he- - would go ahead and appoint .Messrs. Smith .and Gravddn, Reoublir Messrs' Gusfave lalel and May Fechheimer, Democrats. HE WAS QUOTED WB0NGLY.

Stanley started at noon to-d- for Liverpool, on Jheir way to America. A large party of friends accompanied them to Euston station in order to bid farewell to the conple, and a crowd also assembled and cheered the illustrious traveler and his-wif- as they entered the station. The Globe, one of the leading afternoon papers, in referring to the recently issued biography of Major Barttelot, says: Tne book is not only the vindication of a brave soldier and gentleman who died at tho post of duty, but it is also a formal indictment before the court of public opinion of another Englishman whom .Englishmen hold in honr honor, which, if the indictment is well founded, must be gravely tarnished and impaired. The question is how far Stanley is answerable for the fato of his second in command, and whether or not ho endeavored to blacken his Lieutenant's reputation to save his own. Stan-Ic- according to Barttelot's biographer, left stores at Yambuya under Barttelot in order to divert the Arab plunderers from impeding his own advances and deluded Barttelot into the belief that he expected Tippoo Tib to assist in forwarding them. He left instructions he knew to be impracticable and virtually aban- doned his rear-guar- either from indifference or intention. Stanley's written instructions stand to prove that Barttelot was not to stir without all the stores, otherwise he would rmn the whole expedition. Barttelot obeyed under a strong sense of duty. He n as on rearguard duty against his will: for 13 months be was left to rot in Yambuya. a martyr, beyond question, to duty and discipline. For this man Stanley has nothing but blame for disobedience to his criers, and sneers at bis honesty and courage. tanley has to meet these charges. No action a 1 aw can be brought on behalf of the dead n ,i. To meet them becomes a debt of honor. B" Itelot was a simple-minde- straight-for-ws- 3 soldier, and with a soldier's sense of dis- cipline. Stauley must prove, not merely as- sert, that his written instructions were he can shift the responsibility. By silence he admits the charges, which imply that he was crnel or callous, if not actually treacherous, for bis own selbsb, secret ends, followed by calumny when the necessity came upon him. Despite all his precaution?, this is the indictment. In justice to a brave soldier, it cannot bs ignored. AFTER THE CELEBRATION.

At present the disease has not penetrated be- yond the ear, but it is feared that in spite of all the efforts of the surgeons it is destined to reach the brain, and in that case there is no need to say what will ensue. It is believed that the restlessness of the Emperor is due partly to the irritation pro- duced by the disease and partly by the dread of its further development.

Washington, October 27. Secretary of the Interior Noble y rendered a de- cision denying the application ot Mayor Grant for a enumeration of the population of the city of New York. In his decision the Secretary says: It thus appears that the Mayor bases his ap- plication on the fact, as he alleges, that the municipal census shows many more inhabitants to have been in New York in October than the United States census shows to have been there in June, that the Secretary finds tne municipal census was not ukea unuor any supervision oy the Census Bureau, or anyone representing it, and no such information has been sent the bureau or department as enables it to deter- mine that tho United States census was faulty and should be retaken; that a faulty United States census mut bo shown by proof that the excess now claimed were inhabitants of the city in Jnne and not then enumerated; that the National census has been so well token that the body of the people are content with it, and that it should not be abandoned. No such reasons are here showu to exist, and the appli- cation is not allowed. WANTS THE INDIANS EDUCATED. Commissioner Morgan Favors Compulsion in the Matter. Washington, October 27. Commis- sioner Morgan, of the Indian Bureau, in his annual report to the Secretary ot the In- terior, says of the Indian question generally that there has been great- - progress and the outlook for the future is encouraging. The Commissioner favors compulsory ed- ucation, and says: "I am in favor of com- pelling every Indian child of suitable age and health, for whom accommodations are provided, to attend school ten months outot 12. A general law, however, could not now be applied for the simple reason that school accommodations are provided for less than half the children of school age." AT DEATH'S DO'OB.

The men reached Steubenville about noon and finally crossed the river. They strolled to- gether to a comparatively unfrequented spot, and there, without any quarrel between the men, Caruze pulled his revolver and fired two shots at Gallo. Both bullets took effect in Gallo's body, one penetrating the left lung. Physicians say that he cannot re- cover. Caruze, a3 soon as he had done the shoot- ing, started for Wheeling Junction. He made no attempt to rob his victim, who had considerable money on his person, and it is largely due to thi3 fact that the shooting is believed to be either an assassination or- dered by the Mafia, or the outcome of an vendetta imported from Italy. Caruze took a train on the Panhandle Railroad, saying he was going to Lock Haven. The Steubenville anthorities notified In- spector McAleese to look out for Caruze, but up to a late hour last night no trace had been found of him, although the police were working diligently.

Baltimore lawyers are here examining the records of the courts in this connty with reference to the estate of wealthy James Paul Heath, whose will was executed on the 5th of Sep- tember, 1745, and seems never to have been properly closed. The records ot the Or phans' Court show that at the time of the last statement of the account of the execu- tors there then remained in their hands the sum of 235 10s 4d. The claimants of the property, of which there are said to be 11, are members of the Bordley family, formerly of Wye Island, Talbot county, but more recently of Balti- more. The lawyers say there is no doubt of the practicability or recovering the land in question, which embraces many of the most valuable farms in Sassafras Neck and valu- able lots in Charlestown and Warwick.

This should have acted as a stay ol sentence, but the Warren county authorities seem to have disregarded the notice of appeal, for Wood was taken to the prison at Dannemora.

On his arrival in Troy to-d- from his home in Sandy Hill Jndge Whitman was surprised to find in his mail a letter, ot which the following is a copy: Clekk's Office, Clinton Prison, i Dasni:moka. N.

EOME FTJETHEE ABRESTS ARE STILL TO BE MADE

rsrrciAL txlegbam to im dispatch, lPhladelphii, October 27. Charles

H. Heustis, editor of the Jnquirtr, appeared

before Magistrate O'Brien at 3 o'clock this

afternoon to answer a charge of criminal

libel preferred by Robert E.Fattison. Mr. Heustis was arrested on awarrant sworn out by Mr. Pattison this

morning, and at the same time warrants

were also issued for the arrest of JamesElverson, President of the Inquirer Com-pan- v;

Claytcn McMichael, editor and pro-

prietor of the 2ibrth American, and W. F.Jordan and J. J. McLaurin, editors andpublishers of the Harrisburg Call, who werecharged by the with the sameoffense.

The cbarcc of libel is based upon thesimultaneous publication in the papers inques ua on Saturday, October 25, purport-ing to g've the secret history o I the approvalby Mr. Pattison when he was Governor ofthe State of measures which had .passed theLegislature, known as tho South Penn Rail-

road bills lonr in number.

The Charges .Against Pattison.In the three papers mentioned there was

published on Saturday morning an articlewhich charged that Governor Pattison hadbeen bribed by the Tanderbilts to sign whatwere known as the South Penn bills of 1883,and that the Governor sought out and

Jeremiah S. Black to writea veto message, and having received it, withthe understanding that it was to be sent tothe Legislature, he changed his mind bythe next morning, and without notice toJudge Black, approved the bills, and thatJudge Btack denounced Governor Pattisoufor his alleged deception and severed allamicable relations with him. The articlealso charged that $30,000 in stock bad beenpid to Governor Pattisw and AttorneyGeneral Lewis J. Cassidy for the signing of

a bill chartering a Pittsburg natural gascorporation.

When the hearing began the little office:n which Magistrate O'Brien holds court,st Fifteenth and Ridge avenue, was filled.Lawyers Shakespeare and Heverin were onhand to look after the interests of Messers.Heustis and Elverson, while Mayor Sulz-

berger, assisted by Richard P. "White, con-

ducted the case for Mr. Pattison. The onlyother prominent men present were

of the Commonwealth "William S.Stenger and Judge James Gay Gordon. Inintroducing the case Mr. Sulzberger readseveral extracts from the article complainedof as published in th? Inquirer and offereda copy of the paper of Saturday last in evi-

dence.The Complainant on the Stand.

Pattison was then called tothe stand, and after being duly sworn wasnaked by his counsel. ""What were the re-lations of yourself and Judge Black previ-ous to the time of hi? death?"

"Always of the most friendly character,"was the reply. "So far as I know JudgeItUrkdied entertaining a very friendlyfeeling toward me."

"Did y .1 ever send for him and ask himto help you come to a decision regarding theSouth Penn bills?"

"I never did. He came to me to offerobjections to their passage just as any othercitizen might do."

"When questioned as to the date of JudgeBlack's visit Mr. Pattison said: "It wasthe lirst part of the last week of May, 1883,I think on Monday."

Counsel then asked: "What was his posi-tion regarding the passage of those bills?"

"He was opposed to them.""And your own position?""I was in favor or them from the first and

so stated to Judge Black, I was in favor ofthem the same as I would be in favor of anyhalf-doze- n other lines which bv offeringcompetition would benefit the citizens ofPennsylvania."

Passed by a Republican Legislature.In reply to several questions the

stated that the lonr bills hadpassed both Honscs of the Legislature in theregular order of legislation, the Legislaturebeing at that time Republican by a largetujonty.

"On what grounds did Judge Black ob-ject to the parage of the bill?" was the nextquestion.

To this Lawyer Shakespeare objected, buthe Magistrate allowed the question. '

"His argument was principally that thepassage of the bills would only assist inbuilding up another monopoly," was the reply ot Mr. Pattison.

The Governor then stated how he signedthe bill extending the time for the completion of the railroads in the State and the onerelating to terminal points to which railroads may be constructed. This part of thematter having been heard, Judge Black'svisit and argument were again taken up. Ina general statement which counsel askedhim to give, Mr. Pattison said that JudgeBlack had continued his argument over aspace of three or four days.

"Did you ask Judge Black to prepare aveto message for you which would not onlytake the hair off all the scoundrels heads,but would clean the marrow out of theirbones?" was asked.

One falsehood Pointed Out."I did not, and any statement of that

nature or which in any way implies such arequest as having emanated from me isfalse" was the reply.

"What was the nature of the paper whichJudge Black did leave with you?"

"After having argued for such a lengthof time and finding that I still approved ofthe bills, Judge Black asked permission toleave with me a paper giving in substancehis arguments, and the paper which he leftwith me was simply a summary of his ob-

jections written out for my consideration.""When did you next see Judge Black?"

Mr. Sulzberger asked."At a dinner given by me in honor of the

judges of the Supreme Court the followingweek when he sat at my richt. That wasthe last time I saw him, but I received aletter Iroin him on June 5 regretting his inability to say good-by- e before leaving Har-risburg after the dinner "

When questioned concerning the nllegedvisit to New York, the Governor stated thathe knew nothing whatever of it.

"'Did you know anything of the charter-ing of the Pittsburg .Natural Gas Com-

pany?" was asked."I know that the company was regularly

chartered under the provisions of the Statelaws for the chartering of any corporation."

The Natural Gas Story Nailed."How about the statement that the com-

pany paid $30,000 in shares to the Pattisoncrowd for the approval of the charter?"asked Mr. Sulzberger.

Mr. Pattison quickly replied: "That isabsolutely false. No such payment wasever made. There was no bill or anv measure of any kind for which any considerationwas ever paid in an shapo or form what-ever either to me or to any member of myCabinet or any one in any way connectedwith the Administration either directly orindirectly."

"Were" yon. aware of the movement onfoot to make you a member of PresidentCleveland's Cabinet?" was asked.

"Not until I read the story on Saturday.I was asked to become a member of the com-mission to inquire into the condition of thePacific Railroad companies, and, after hav-ing declined the honor twice, accepted it atMr. Cleveland's earnest solicitation."

The only question asked in th-- j

by Mr. Shakespeare was: "Youare a Gubernatorial candidate for

on next Tuesday?"After the Governor's answer in the affirm-

ative the opposing counsel indulged in afriendly bout on the subject of libel suits.

A Tilt Concerning Libel Salts.Mr. Shakespeare saying that they were

not always settled before election and Mr.Sulzberger replying that sometimes theywere not even instituted before.

JudgeGordou siiexcalled, to thesta'cdand in answer to a series of questionsby Mr. Sulzberger, said that he rememberedthe bills very well and had voted againsttwo of them in the State Senate and wasabsent when the third was passed. He had,however, voted for the reduction of thecapitalization from S750.000 to $300,000 permile in the bill returned by Governor Patti-son for amendment.

At the request of 0 udgc Black, SenatorGordon had given the bills to LieutenantGovernor Black to be sent to his father, andhe had also received Judge Black's tele-gram begging for an interview with theGovernor. Judge Gordon was not presentat any time from Monday to Thursday dur-ing the hearing of the argument and hadnever heard of the veto message.

"Did Judge Black ever speak: disparag-ingly ot Governor Pattison to you?" vrasasked.

"No; to me he was always the Governor'seulogist."

"Did you co with the party, as alleged,to New York?" was the next question.

"No.""When did you go to New York?""I went to New York first alter the pas-

sage of the bill in March, 1884, and duringthe visit the bills were in no way referredto, for they hud been laws for nine months.Everytning either said or implied in thepublished statement is false."

No was made.Stenger as a Witness.

of State Stenger was nextcalled and stated that he was always infavor of the passage of the bills,as the SouthPenn Railroad would be a benefit to theSouthern tier of counties in which he lived.He said that he had no knowledge of anyinvitation to Judge Black from GovernorPattison for a conference on the measure.He W3s present at the argumen: on the lastday, Thursday, and saw the paper whichJudge Black had prepared. It' was spokenof as a condensed report of the argumentoffered against the bills.

"Was there anything in it of the natureof a veto?" he was asked.

"No, there was nothing of the kind, nordid Judge Black ever, in my presence, sayanything unkind either to or about theGovernor."

"Did yoa know anything of the use ofmoney in securing the charter of the Pitts-burg Gas Company?"

"I was not aware of any offer of the kindto anyono connected with the administra-tion. The article is in every particularfalse," said Mr. Steneer.

This closed the offering of evidence, andin a few words Mr. Silzberger put the casebefore the Magistrate. He said: "The ar-ticles as published give the case as happen-ing on June 3, 1883, and that date, you willfind, fails on a Sunday. The whole thing is

A Deliberate lie Fabricatedfor campaign purposes. The relations ofMr. Fattison and Judge Black were of themost friendly nature, as is shown by thefact of Judge Black attending a dinner, asMr. Pattison's invited guest, and occupyinga seat of honor."

Mr. White supplemented the argumentwith the statement that on June 3, whenthe alleged stormy interview is cited as hav-ing occurred, Judge Black had left Harris-burg. Mr. Sulzberger1 then asked that thedefendant be held in bail sufficient to insurehis appearance at court.

Mr. Heustis was held in $1,600 bail andMr. Elverson, having waived a hearingthrough his counsel, was .held in the sameamount, P. W. McDowelLentering bond inthe amounts required. Mr. McDowell wasanxious to enter bail for Mr. McMichaelalso, but Lawyer Sulzberger insisted thathe should be arrested "like any other.criminal.'

The hearing in the cases of W. P. Jor-dan, J. J. McLaurin and Clayton Mc-

Michael has been set for Wednesday at 13o'clock noon. Messrs McMichael andElverson arc out ot town, and Mr. Mc-Michael will b: arrested as soon as he re-

turns.Opinions Upon the Suits.

COLORADO SETTLERS CALL FOR 11ELP

Washington, October 27. The IndianBureau has received from Agent McLaugh-lin at the Standing Rock Indian agency areport upon the prospective outbreak amongthe Sioux in consequence of the promisedcoming of the "New Messian." The agentsays:

n

I trust that I may not bo considered an alarm-ist,

toand I do not wish to ba understood as con-

sidering the present state of excitement soalarming as' to apprehend any imniediato up-

rising or serious outbreak, but 1 do feel it myduty to report the present craze and nature orthe incitement existing among the "SittingBull" factions of Indians over the expectedIndian millennium," the annihilation of the

white man and supremacy of the Indians,which is looked for not later than next spring.

They are promised by some members of theSioux tribe, who have lately developed into"medicine men," that tlio Great Spirit haspromised them that their punishment by tiiodominant race has been sufficient, and thattheir numbers having now become so deci-

mated will be by all Indians whoare dead.

DEAD INDIANS RISING.Further, they say the dead are all returning

to this earth which belongs to theIndians; that they are driving back with themas they return immense herds of buffalo andelegant wild horses to have for the catching:that the Great Spirit promises them that thewhite men will be unable to make gun powderin future: that be will cover the earth with SO

feet of additional soil, well sodded and tim-bered, under which the whites will all besmothered.

"Sitting Bull" is the high priest of this latestIndian absurdity; m a word, he is the chiefmischief maker at this agency, and if he werenot hero this craze so general among the Siouxwould never have secured a foothold at thisagency. He has been a disturbing elementhere since his return from confinement as amilitary prisoner in the spring of 1SS3,

but has been growing gradually worse thepast vear, which is partly to be accdnnted forby the presence of a lady named Mrs. C. Wei-do-

Irom Brooklyn, who came here in Jnne,lSSl', announcing herself as a member of Br.Bland's society, the Indian Defense Associa-tion, and opposed to the Indians ratifying theact ol March 2, 1SS9.

MCNEY FOR SITTING BULL.While here she bestowed numerous presents

upon Sitting Boll, considerable being money,which bad a demoralizing effect upon him, in.flating him with his importance.

The woman is now located on tho north bankof Cannon Ball river, just outeide of this reser-vation, and about 25 miles north of the agency.Sitting Bull has been a frequent visitor to herhouse, and he has grown more insolent andworthless with every visit he has made there,her lavish expendituro of money and othergifts npon him enabling him to give frequentfeasts and hold councils.

On the 9th Instant, upon an invitation fromBitting Bull, an Indian named Kicking Bear,belonging to the Cheyenne River Agency, thechief medicine man of the ghost dance amongthe Sioux, arrived at Sitting Bull's camp, onGrand river, to inaugurate a ghost dance and isinitiate the members. Upon learning of his ar-rival there I sent a detachment of 13 policemenbut thev returned without executing the order, aboth officers being in a "dazed" condition andfearing the powers of Kicking Bear's medicine.Sitting Bull was very insolent to the omcers,and made the threats against certain membersof force, but said that the visitors would leavethe following day.

The Lieutenant returned yesterday, and re-ported that the party had not started back toCheyenne before his arrival there on the morn-ing of the loth, but left immediately upon hisordering them to do so. and that Sitting Bulltold him that htf was determined to continuethe "Ghost Dance," as the Great Spirit hadsent a direct message by Kicking Bear that tolive tbey must do so. but that he would nothave any more dancing until after he had come ofto the agency and talked the matter over withme, but tho news comes in this morning thatthey are dancing again.

Desiring xo exhaust all reasonable means be-fore resorting to extremes I have sent a mess-age to Sitting Bull by his nephew One Bull,that I want to see him at the agency and Ifeel quite confident that I shall succeed inallaying tho present excitement anu put a stopto this absurd craze for the present, at least,

Sceanton, October 27. The breach ofpromise suit brought by Miss Annie H.Husaboe against the Rev. Peter Robertshad another airing in court this morning inthe shape of an argument for a new trial.Counsel for the recreant minister, Mr. Ed-wards, argued that the action of Mr.Pitcher, counsel for the plaintiff, in takingthe stand and revealing the confessionwhich the minister mado to him was unpro-fessional and should not have been per-mitted. Mr. Pitcher swore that the min-ister confessed to him the promise of mar-riage. This, with the clergyman's damagingletters, led to his conviction.

Counsel lot Mr. Roberts also alleged thatMiss Husaboe had once brought a suitagainst a man in Wisconsin for a similarcase in all respects. Mr. Colborn, counselfor Miss Husaboe, challenged the .'proof ofthis last statement, and hinted that hadMiss Husaboe so desired she could haveproduced evidence which would haveblasted the reputations of others who werestudents of Yale.

Tne book is not only the vindication of abrave soldier and gentleman who died at thopost of duty, but it is also a formal indictmentbefore the court of public opinion of anotherEnglishman whom .Englishmen hold in honrhonor, which, if the indictment is well founded,must be gravely tarnished and impaired. Thequestion is how far Stanley is answerable forthe fato of his second in command, andwhether or not ho endeavored to blacken hisLieutenant's reputation to save his own. Stan-Ic-

according to Barttelot's biographer, leftstores at Yambuya under Barttelot in order todivert the Arab plunderers from impeding hisown advances and deluded Barttelot into thebelief that he expected Tippoo Tib to assist inforwarding them. He left instructions heknew to be impracticable and virtually aban-doned his rear-guar- either from indifferenceor intention. Stanley's written instructionsstand to prove that Barttelot was not to stirwithout all the stores, otherwise he would rmnthe whole expedition. Barttelot obeyed undera strong sense of duty. He n as on rearguardduty against his will: for 13 months be was leftto rot in Yambuya. a martyr, beyond question,to duty and discipline. For this man Stanleyhas nothing but blame for disobedience to hiscriers, and sneers at bis honesty and courage.

It thus appears that the Mayor bases his ap-plication on the fact, as he alleges, that themunicipal census shows many more inhabitantsto have been in New York in October than theUnited States census shows to have been therein June, that the Secretary finds tne municipalcensus was not ukea unuor any supervision oythe Census Bureau, or anyone representing it,and no such information has been sent thebureau or department as enables it to deter-mine that tho United States census was faultyand should be retaken; that a faulty UnitedStates census mut bo shown by proof that theexcess now claimed were inhabitants of thecity in Jnne and not then enumerated; that theNational census has been so well token thatthe body of the people are content with it,and that it should not be abandoned.
