t: : r- EVA TO BE AVENGED Arnold Franski Pursuing the Russian Army Officer TYho Caussed tlie DEATH OE A PBETTY GIRL. The Soldier Has Been Captured and Is Supposed to Be Serving TWO TEARS FOFw HIS DESERTION. Franstl ITill EaTe Bim Punished for More fcerions Offense. HE SOW HAS A EESPOXSIBTiE POSITION 'Ihe man who deserted Eva Bloch in this city has an avenger after him. Everybody remembers the tragic suicide of this young Kussian girl two years ago in the ladies' room at Union station, after being deserted by her lover, a Russian army officer, who blipped away from her en the train. An immense sensation was caused by the pub lication of the story at that time. Miss Bloch belonged to an aristocratic fnmily. Only one man turned up in the city who had known her or her people in Russia. It was Arnold Franski. then a resident of the Southside. He had known her father well in Russia and was much aflected by her death. While collecting money to defray the expense of Bending the body home, Franski beiug then in rather straightened circumstances, was arrested in Allegheny. He olaims his arrest was caused by his enemies. At first he was charged with be ing a suspicious person and afterwards two charges of obtaining money under false pre tenses were preferred against him. At the time of his arrest he had collected 16 and this was taken from him at the lockup. Xow Holds a Res pons! bio Position. Last Slay, Franski secured a position with K. C Frick, to whom he demonstrated his skill as a veterinary surgeon and a man of all-around intelligence. Mn. Frick gave the care of all the horses and mules in his coke interests about Jit Pleasant to Frans ki, and in a short time gave him con siderable control of the men as well. After the Homestead strike and the firm decided to pnt in non-union men, Franski had created such a good impression that he was placed in charge of the foreigners em ployed in the milL He says he has now a position as interpreter and overseer over 1,109 men, which pays him S250 per month. As a result of his prosperity Franski re cently brought his family over from Russia, They came direct from the 6ame city where Eva Bloch's family reside and brought the first information he had received that her betrayer had been captured and is now icrving two years in prison for desertion. No "Woman's Rights In Russia. Franski was overjoyed when he heard of the capture of Ihe soldier-Lothario, but the light sentence imposed did not satisfy him. Franski decided to make him suffer fur ther for his crime. Under the laws of Russia a man is not held accountable for abusing the confidence of a woman, she be ing the only one whom the law attects. iva Bloch's lover had therefore nothing to an swer for but his desertion from the army, and being of the nobility his offense was treated lightly. Ordinarily deserters are icr more harshly dealt with. Transki was in the city last night paying n viElt to Warden McAleese, to whom he is greatly attached. Being questioned as to the Eva Bloch case he imparted the infor mation given above, adding that he had knowledge of certain other matters relat ing to the Russian officer and intended to bring him to justice. "The matter I refer to has no connection with the Eva Bloch affair," he continued. "It is oi a much graver nature, in Russia. Ho, I don't need to bring him to this coun try. The Inws of Russia are severe even to the nobility under certain circumstances." trill Ai engo Era Bloch's Death. "Then you mean to avenge the death of Eva Bloch?" was asked. "I da I can do it and I will. I cannot explain all to you now, bat in a few weeks, maybe a month, I can speak more fully. I am not sure this soldier is even in jail. Money will do anything in Russia, there is so little of it. It'is likely this fellow is off enjoying himself instead of serving his time os a common soldier would do. But wherever he is he will be brought to pun ishment some day if I live." Franski is a remarkably handsome big fellow about 40 years of age, of rugged con stitution, and looks as if he might live another 40 years. He is very bitter to a member of the Allegheny detective iorce whom be accuses of taking the money he had collected for Eva Bloch and falling either to return it or to appear at his trial to show that it had not been expended as the prosecution claimed.

Cliildren Discover the Plunder Taken From an East End Residence Two Men With Records Arrested Other Suburban Rob beries Reported to the Police. Two men have been placed under arrest whom the police claim are the robbers re cently operating in the East End. They were captured Thursday, giving the names of John Doran and Richard Swan. Both positively deny their guilt. Doran was wearing an overcoat stolen from the house of E. A. Weart, G537 Ellsworth avenue, the previous night, when arrested at the Academy. All the goods stolen from Mr. Weart's house have been recovered. Two little girls were playing in the woods near Shadyside station yesterday morning and in kicking through a pile of fallen leave uncovered a sealskin sacque. In removingit they brought to view a lot of silverware and clothing. It was subsequently found that the stuff was that stolen from Mr. Weart's house, approximating 51,000 in value. Inspector McLaughlin and Captain Whitehouse, who have been working on the case, say that on the night of the robberv, alter getting their plunder together, the thieves sat down in the basement, ate everything eatable they could find and then drank a quart of whiskv, the empty bottle being found in the kitchen next morning. It is supposed they tarried over the bottle until nearly daybreak and were then afraid to carry their plunder to the city, hiding it where found, with the intention of return ing for it the next night. At first it was supposed there were sev eral thieves in the job, but the police are now satisfied there were only two. Both prisoners have police records. Doran is onlv 18 years old." Swan is 27. The chisel with which he forced his'way into Weart's house wis found in his quarters in the Yellow Row. Swan has a reputation among Jhe police for being quick to shoot. When arrested, to allay his suspicions, he was told he was wanted for keeping a speak easy. When searched at Central station a 44-calibrc loaded revoler was found on him. It is claimed there is plenty of evidence to convict both the prisoners. An attempted robbery of Brinton station, on the Pennsylvania Railroad, was reported yesterday. In the morning when the sta tion was opened the safe was found to be badly battered, the combination knob be ing broken off, but the attempt had been fruitless. Entrance to the building was gained by removing a panel lrom the door. The railroad detectives are working on the case. A number of burglaries along the Pennsylvania lines have been reported recently. Tramps are credited with them all. G?77!! Dispatch u-tO contain the most com prehensive reports of the Election on Wednesday morning. Order in advance. THE CLOSING BATTLES. Republicans a I.Ittle Nervous, hat Will Get New Tork by 10,000 Votrs. Colonel John Y. Culyer, the Brooklyn engineer, arrived in the city last evening to resume work on the plans ot beautifying Schenley Park. He put np at the Du quesue, and will be in the city for the bal ance of the month. The Colonel, to save time, adopted Blaine's idea of pairing his vote with a Democrat. In this way it is not lost to his party in a State where it is badly needed. "I think the Republicans will carry New York by 10,000," he said. "They always do cet a littte rattled in the closing days of a campaign. I am told that the organization in the interior ot the State is strong, and I expect to see our peple come down to the Harlem with a big majority. In the Fassett contest Piatt and Miller were not pulling together, and many of the farmers didn't register. That is how we lost the Governorship. This vear the party is harmonious and the people inter ested. I can't persuade myself that Hill and Tammany are seriously supporting Cleveland. They haven't much to gain if "be is elected and little to lose If he is de feated. On the other hand with Piatt and Miller, everything depends on the success of Harrison. The Federal officeholders also are a powerful factor and must not be over looked." "The Colonel laughed at the report that Chairman Sheehan had left New York (earing arrest for his advice to Democrats to resist the United States marshals at the Dolls. He is no doubt in Buffalo, where he is anxious to get out a big Democratic vote. GUFFEY IS CONFIDENT. He Says Both Sides Claim Victory but He Thinks Grover Will Win. J. M. Guffey returned from Hew York yesterday where he had been in consulta tion with national politicians. He is con fident of Mr. Cleveland's election. Mr. Gufiey said: "Both the Republican and Democratic National Committees talk very confidently of the general result, but it is conceded on all sides that Cleveland will carry New York, and the Democrats claim more than an even chance to carry Indiana, and with the tide generally over the country in Cleveland's favor, the out look for his election is certainly very good. In faet, it is hardly possible for the win ner of New York's 36 votes to be defeated. The talk of Harrison making inroads on the electoral vote of the South does not seem to be very well founded. "From the reports which come to me of the gallant fight Sipe is making in the Twenty-fourth Congressional district, he will win out if the Democrats only go to the polls on election day and cast their ballots."

Chief Elliot Has a Flan to Check Foreign Immigration. WHERE INSPECTION SHOULD BE. tit Thinks European Ports Are the Place for txaminations. SUPERINTENDENT BAKER ON IIEAI.TII Chief Elliott, of the Pittsburg Depart ment of Charities, thinks Mr. Grubb, of the Allegheny department, was justified in returning to their native land Augustine Schnitzkl and his wife, because they were paupers and had gotten Into America un lawfully. Mr. Elliot says he is almost daily brought in contact with similar cases. Chief Elliot backed up these statements by producing his report for '91 and '92, which has never been published yet. It shows that 139 foreign paupers had applied for aid. Of the number 94 were cared for. Forty-five were returned to their countries, and four of these were insane. Thirty-four of the parties were under medical care most of the time and 24 had to be sent to the poor farm. Five of the 139 died and had to be burled at the city's expense, All of them became a charge to Pittsburg within a year niter they landed. The United States treasury paid the department 5366 69 for the passage of 49 returned home. The Examination on the Wrong Side. "This Is the way the thing runs along all the time," said the Chief, "and it will until we have better immigration laws. The trouble is we have the inspection on the wrong side of the water. The Government yearly pays out big sums of money to offi cers to inspect the immigrants. I have stood in Castle Garden and watched them at work. Their inspection is run on a bird's-eye-view plan. The foreigners are hustled through a narrow passage and the officers glance at them as they pass. Sometimes they are made to sign their names if they can write. With an examining station at all ine European ports the immigration problem would be solved and the United States saved vast sums of money, while her cities would not be filled with the off-scour-Ings of foreign lands. If such a plan wero adopted the examination should be made rigid. The applicant would first have to pass a good physical examination, and the age would play an important part. More Rigid Lines Should Re Drawn. "No one over 60 years under those con ditions should be admitted. There is another restriction which shonld be looked after. Too many of the immigrants are criminals and a'properly managed Inspec tion on the other side of the ocean would keep this class out of America. Colonel Stone's bill Is a very good one, but it will not do the work, because this point is not covered. "No one knows anything about immigra tion and pauperism until they get into a position similar to mine. All sorts of tricks are being played on the United States both for the gain of individuals and foreign powers. I know of several Italian bankers who have made as high as 510,000, 000 a rear at the expense of America. They have agents at work in the poorer districts of that country all the time, telling the people ot the riches of this country. After they are worked up to a cer tain slage the banker's man offers to land the Italians in Pittsburg or Chicago for 575. By arrangements with steamship companies these poorest, lowest of Italy's sons are set down in our city at a profit of 560 per head. This is going on every day. Some of Ireland's Tricks. "A number of the countries in Europe al low 'their criminals to go free if they will promise to come to America. The other day I received a pa per printed rin Ireland. There was' an advertisement in it from one of the alms houses, or work houses, as they call them thereT The manager wanted bids from steamship companies for the transportation of 100 paupers to America. A little over a year ago one ot these institutions was en tirely cleaned out and its 640 inmates ship ped to the United States. "We have had at the city home for the past 12 years a Swedish girl. The girl when hardly Its was cast adrift by her parents. She came to America, and being in delicate health she songht aid fiom the department The young lady was sent to the home. There, by brooding over her sins, she became insane and has never re covered. Daily we have calls from young girls like her, but have to refuse many ot them. The reason I took charge of her is a peculiar one. She had the most beauti ful head of hair I ever saw, and I .think It was through her flowing tresses that my heart softened. To-day her hair is as snow white as mine." FREE FROM SMALLPOX. Superintendent Baker Afraid of Cholera In Uie Spring Scarlatina in the Public Schools New Laws Needed for the Treatment of Diphtheria. For the first week in November,1892, there has not been a case of smallpox in Pitts burg. Superintendent Baker, of the Health Bureau, was very much elated over this fact yesterday. In speaking about mat ters relative to his department, he said: "All danger of cholera visiting Pittsburg this year is past. Conditions are such, however, that it will be an easy matter for the disease to make its way into the city in the spring. We are preparing for it. Already we are having dirty places about the city cleaned up. Throughthe winter I intend to keep a strict watch, and all filth found will be removed. "A number of phsiclans are causing us considerable trouble. There is some scarla tina in the city. When the subjects get the least bit better the doctors give them cer tificates allowing them to return to school. In this way the disease is spread. Tho law says that no child suffering with scarlitina shall be allowed to enter school until it has been convalescent for SO days. I am going to see that this law Is carried out and will prosecute the first principal of a school who accepts one of these certificates. "There is a law that Pennsylvania should have. I consider diphtheria and scarlet fever as contagious diseases, and think they should be treated in the same manner as smallpox. In Pittsburg, when there is a case of either, friends visit the house and the disease is spread about. If the patient dies a public funeral is held. This is all wrong. I think we should have a law com pelling a house where either disease, exists to be placarded. The patient should be re moved to a plague house, and in case of death the funeral should occur at once and be strictly private." SLOCKED BY ELECTBICIXY. Business Suspended for a Time by the Breaking of an ElectrloWiro. All the lights furnished by the Allegheny County Light Company were out for nearly an hour last eveniug. One of the lines had broken. It was just at that hour when Pittsburg Is busiest on Saturday night. The stores were crowded and the saloons were packed with people who had grown chilly waiting for the parade. Those who had gas experienced little trouble, but in the business places where electricity is depended upon for il lumination it was different. Business had to be suspended until one little wire was mended. Yes, Cash or Credit On fine dress goods and the latest styles In Jackets, wraps, etc., at J.

She Struck Him With a Pitcher Afraid of Being Pois oned. Michael Sent, a laborer in A. M. Byers Southside mills, is In a peck of trouble. He appeared before Alderman Hartman yesterday and swore out a warrant against his wife on a charge of assault and battery, claiming that she not only abused him, but a few days before hit him over the head with a pitcher, and he has not been able to hear anything since. The side ot his head was badly swollen and ho seemed to take his treatment very much to heart. He said he would be satisfied with nothing bnt a divorce. The trouble in his bouse, he said, has been going'on for a long time, but reached the climax on Columbus Day, when he asked his wife for ,15 cents with which to buy a badge, so as to take part in the parade and G cents to buy a glass of beer. His wife is master of the 'bouse and takes case of the finances. The request was re fused, on the ground that he wanted to buy something to poison her, as she had been fearful of his putting her out of the way. He had been working until 10 o'clock and had only hastened home in time to take part in the parade. Her refusal made him angry and a quarrel ensued. Finding he could have no badge he de termined to remain until after dinner before going out to celebrate Columbus Day. After abusing his wife severely, he settled down for a wait of two hours for a dinner that never came, because his wife was now thoroughly aroused and refused to prepare anything to eat. Softening under his earnest pleadings she finally gave him 15 cents, and he went out to catch the parade. He spent the afternoon in the city and in the evening returned home. Soon after they got into another quarrel, and she struck him over the head with a pitcher that completely knocked him out. She is a powerful woman, weighing over 200 pounds, and is his complete master, as he weighs less than 120 pounds. He has been auietly working since, but claims that his wife treats him so cruelly that he can not get along with her. While speaking of the case, he said: "There has always been more or less jeal ousy between us, but we have never had much trouble. About two years ago she sued me for attempting to poison ber, but the matter was fixed up. Ever since she has been suspicions, and often accuses me of doing what is not right." The woman was arrested. The case will be heard next week. BY 21,000' MAJORITY. Chairman Gripp's Figures on Allegheny County Conservative Estimates Based on Reliable Reports Party Organiza tion In Excellent Shape All Citizens Have Rights in Elections. The Republican County Committee met yesterday afternoon and closed up the cam paign with a love least. No meeting since the campaign opened has been so lareely at tended or so enthusiastic. The feature of the day was Chairman Gripp's speech. He claimed the county for Harrison by from 20,000 to 21,000 saving his figures were conservative and based on reliable reports from reliable canvassers all over the county. The party was never better organized in its existence and in that respect differed from the Demo cratic party in this county. Referring to Homestead he said the party workers there deserved great credit lor their bold stand for Republican principles and on Tuesday would show an old-fashioned majority for the ticket. The Chairman was interrupted by an Allegheny member, who wanted to know 'what pay could be guaranteed to watchers at the polls on election day. He was answered that the watchers who worked out of loyalty to the party were the most re liable ones, and the only kind that should be put ou guard. "I have given the party ten hours a day for the past six weeks with out pay," continued Mr. Gripp, "and while I don't say it boastfully, I think it Is an example which should be followed by true party workers' always. The gentlemen in Allegheny should be able, with the large roll of city employes over there, to get plenty of watchers." "But," continued the interrogator, "we have an ordinance which prohibits city em ployes from taking any part in election matters." There was a twinkle In the Chairman's eye as he replied: "We have a similar or dinance in this city, but there is no law which can stop a citizen from participating in an election, whether an officeholder or employe of the city." Before adjournment the committee re turned the unanimous thanks of the county to Chairman Gripp and Secretary Miller for their work in the campaign. DEM0CBAT8 MEET. Chairman Brennan Outlines the Duty of the Ward Workers. The Democratic County Committee met yesterday morning at the party headquar ters at Ross and Diamond streets. Chair man Brennen presided.

He Will Protect One of His Serrant8 Against an Ugly Report THE CHABGES WILL BE SIFTED And Those responsible for a Canard llnst Answer. THE JOHNS CASE IN FATETTE COUNT! The United States Government has de termined to take a hand in the political campaign in Fayette county. The Gov ernment, however, will not interfere in the contest up there until after next Tuesday, when the contending politicians will hare disposed of tho case so far as they are politically concerned. When Deputy Collector P. A. Johns was nominated by the Republicans of Fay ette county for Sheriff he was opposed by members of his own party. The opposition did not disappear when the campaign opened and when the party lines were drawn closely. On the contrary, Candidate Johns found members of his own party leading the opposition against him. He worked industriously in his own behalf and was confident ot winning until a week ago when a report was circulated that Johns had collected money from speak easy keepers in Unlontown, and had appro priated the same to his personal uses. Investigated by the Government. The report was generally circulated and it finally reached the ears of Acting Col lector Mitchell. He reported the case to the department and an investigation was ordered. Two officers were sent to Union town from Washington to complete the in quiry. The officers first devoted themselves to locating the origin of the report. They soon found the authority for the charges against Mr. John's, and they found that the charges had been based on two receipts, each for 58, which Johns was alleged to have given a Uniontown citizen for money paid him. The record of Mr. Johns' movements, sworn to before he had become a candidate, were found, aud it was established that Johns was not in Unlontown the day the receipts were alleged to have been given. The re ceipts, however appeared to have been given by Johns. On Thursday last the Government officials turned to Pittsburg and reported to Act ing Collector Mitchell just what they had found. They returned to him the receipts alleged to have been given by Johns as well as the certified records of his move ments. Johns Makes a Denial. Johns was ordered to report to Collector Mitchell on Friday. He did report. He said he had never "given a receipt for any money paid him for the Government, and he insisted that the receipts held acainst him were forgeries. He admitted that the signature was remarkably like his own, but he was anxious to have the signature sub mitted to the examination of experts. Yesterday Collector Mitchell called in three handwriting experts. Tbey compared the signature on the two receipts with over 200 ot Mr. John's signatures appended to reports to the Collector. In fact, they put the writing to the severest possible test and each in turn decided that the signatures had been forged and that the forgeries had been committed by a clever hand, "J. have investigated the case thor oughly," Collector Mitchell said last night. "The evidence was strong against Mr. Johns at the outioos:, but the best authorities we can find Bay he is innocent. We know who is responsible for the charges against him and I will certainly institute proceedings charging the party responsible with cou spiracy and forgery.,' tsfTfte Dispatch's electric election bitlletins will flashed every 15 seconds from The Dispatch building Tuesday evening. ,FAST TBA1N 10 CLEVELAND.

Father Molllnger Heirs Intend to fell the Relics in Europe Another Out break of Cholera Expected in the Spring Smoke a Preventive. Fred Mollinger, of Arnheim, and Captain F. P. A. Mollinger, of Amsterdam, the nephews and heirs of Father Mollinger, left for Chicago last evening to see the Windy City. The "young men are very in telligent and are much pleased with their visit to Pittsburg. They spent yesterday afternoon watching pedestrians pass the Schlosscr, and they were charmed with the pretty women. "Tbe Pittsburg girls," said Fred, "are very beautiful. This is a big city, and I am glad I'came here. The homes I saw in the East End are very fine. "Ve don't have so many street cars in our cities as you have here. This is the first time I have been in the United States. Coming over on the vessel we met a number of people who knew'Father Mollinger, and had been in the chapel on ML Troy. I was surprised that the sick came from such great distances to see him. '.'We will be back br Wednesday for the sale of the household effects. The heirs have decided not to give the relics to the church, and they will be sold, but when and on what terms has not been decided. That has been left to us, and we will come to some con clusion before we return home in Decem ber. The other heirs have given us power of attorney' to buy the relics and sell them again. The chapel and the relics cost Father Mollinger over 1250,000. He got considerable money from the family estate In Europe as one of the heirs. The indica tions are that we wyi take the relics back to Holland where such things are valued more highly by Catholics than in America. There is no contest between the heirs, and the estate will be settled up. as speedily as possible under the Pennsylvania laws. Gregor Meyer, the administrator, has until next June to sell the property." The nephews said another outbreak of cholera is expected In Europe next spring. They added there was no danger of the dis ease taking hold in Pittsburg on account of the smoke. Captain Mollinger slated that the cholera can't stand a smoky atmosphere, and the curse of the city may yet prove its blessing. A HEW HOSPITAL SCHEME, Major Denniston Wants a City Appropria tion for Their Benefit. City Treasurer Denniston announces a benefit to be held in the Bijou Theater about the middle of December. for the West Penn Hospital which is considerably in debt. In talking of hospitals yesterday the Major declared bis opinion that the city should provide an annual appropriation for hospitals. It shonld be optional with each sick or injured person subject to the city's expense which hospital he should be taken to, and each hospital paid by the city for the cases they cared for. This would be fairer, the Major says, than the present sys tem of giving one or two hospitals all the city cases, and better than the building of a city hospital, which would not only be ex pensive to maintain, but would have a dis couraging effect on the existing hospitals which have a hard time In keeping np un der their present patronage. A PLEA FROM WESTERN PENNSYL TANLV For Representation on the Supreme Bench. The fnllowinsr paper has been largely signed bv representative men of all parties In the Western Pennsylvania oil region. The addiess is the spontaneous setting forth of a lair demand whlcn many people, especially those connected with tne oil industiy, will appreciato and approve. Itlg a- follows: While tho Constitution of Pennsylvania recognizes the Justnesi of the principle that the Supreme Judlolary should be lifted above partisan politics, tho usae In former times has also recognized the right of all localities or the State to duo representation upon the bench or its biguest court. Under the former wise usage members were se lected with a special view to the sections nnrepiesented, so that,,taken as a whole, the bench would be, through residence and association, familiar with the diversified In terests o( the people throughout tho 'Com monwealth. Although the present Supreme Bench Is ably constituted, It is not Inirly representa tive territorially. Six of Its seven members live in the eastern part of tho State, five of them in the extreme eastern part. Tho sev enth. Justice Heydrlck, temporarily a mem ber by appointment, is the only one from tbe western part. It ho should not be con tinued on the bench by election, the entire western portion of Peunsvlvania will bo without a lesident representative in the court of last lesort. In the industrial, mineral and manufact uring conditions of the region there are ob vious reasons why that part of the Stato west of the mountains should bo lopreseaied on the Supreme Bench. Especially is this true of tho vast petioleum interest. The ln- tiicaciesoi tne oil business, the varying dlfllfultles, the new questions which "con stantly arise, aie known In the great oil le gion which stretches across tho entire western portion of the State. The needs of this region are such as to unrentlv demand a representative In tho Supremo Court who Is tamiliarwlth the land titles of the west ern counties, the methods and usages, the modus operandi, and all law questions aris ing out or the petroleum Industry. Judge Heydnck, residing in the original center of that industry, la such a one. Long experience and extensive practice have glcu hiui intimate acquuintanco with the many leul phases of the oil business. Know ing his superior qualifications, his conceded ability i.nd his high standing its Jurist and citizen, we, his leilow members of the bur, with oil pioduceis, business men and citi zens, differing in party affiliations, but de siring to promote the public interest, unite In commending Judge Heydrick to the sul fiagea of tho people of Peunsvlvania.
