The State Council Is Now in an Almost

TJjjioxtowit. Pa., Sept. 15. The State
Council of the Jr. O. U. A. 2L was called
to order in the Opera House at 9 o'clock by
State Councilor Stephen Collins. As was
espectcd, over 000 delegates were present,
Pittsburgers being in the majority from any
one section. A pleasing address of welcome
on behalf of ITniontown was delivered by
A. F. Cooper, which was responded to by
P. A. Shaner, Superintendent of Public In
struction in McKeesport. Nearly 400 new
delegates were admitted.
The reports of officers were read immedi
ately after the noon recess. The report of
the "States Councilor was a lengthy docu
ment covering the work of the organization
for the past year. The report says:
WORK. OF THE YKAR.
After an existence of 32 years this State
Council lias again convened for the fourth
time est of the Allechenies to legislate and
transact business for the membership of
this great American patriotic order in onr
grand old Common ealth of Pennsylvania.
Hut never belore lmvo such large numbers
come together to represent such an immense
constituency and covering such a vast terri
tory, stretching from our grand citadel, our
birthplace, on the East, to a solid line of out
posts along the Ohio frontier on the West,
nnd from our new garrisons on Lake Erie
on the North, to the skirmish lines drawn
up along Mason and Dixon's line in tho
Poutn, and dotted over its mountains and
valleys in the interior.
We are hero representing over TOO councils
containing a mciubersh ip of more than eu,000.
Legislation of the most vital importance to
the vcrv existence of our order must be
nctedupon. This organization has sprung
during tho last few years into one of nation
al prominence. It is the foremost American
order. Its objects and principles are the
grandest for whlcn men ever organized.
During the year we have organized 230 coun
cils, 40 of which have been placed in the
Eastern district, 59 in theCentcrandl31 in
the Western district. Jly work of organizing
has been systematic. I found 25 counties in
tho State in -which no council existed. I
wanted to build for the future. I have suc
ceeded in planting councils in 15 of those.
3Ir. Collins alludes to the political contro
versy in Allegheny county last fall as fol
lows: THE rOLITICAI, QUESTION.
This order must meet the practical ques
tions and issues at once. In our
Declaration of rrinciples we pub
lish to the world these words:
"In the strictest sonse we are a national
political organization." "We are cognizant
that there are great and powerful enemies
within our midst, requiring tho strictest
purveilance of all ho are at heart, word or
in deed American. We, as members of this
order, affirm our allegiance to the objects of
the ordei as paramount to any party affilia
tion, etc. jvow, is it not lime w uu uium
than affirm mid declare? These great, power
ful enemies in our midst have read our
declaration, they have also observed our
actions. I appeal to all for "harmonious,
milted and intelligent action," and less dis
tensions and jealousies within our ranks,
and less cowardice in the face of the enemy.
After giving a history of the "dynamite"
package sent to O. & Marshall, already
published in The Dispatch, Mr. Collins
continues:
I claim tho right which I accede to every
other memberot this organization, viz: to be
absolute master of mv political and religious
actions m long as they do not interfere with
the freedom of anv other man. If I am a
partisan, I am above all and beyond all an
American and a Protestant, and I fully be
lieve that the only way for this order to ac
complish its objects, which are political, is
for each and e cry member to work within
his own partj to Americanize it. While my
personal political actions may be distasteful
to some few tv ho do not agree -n 1th me in my
partisan or sectarian views, I am willing
they should disagree, or I will readily argue
the caso with them, but I do emphatically
object to petty persecution because I have
alwavs had the courage to express my views
openlv.and they have boen openly expressed
from one end oi the Mnte to the other.
STATE WErUTIES WASTEP.
The State Councilor makes a number of
recommendations, among others one pro
line for State deputies, in order that the
Ijoard of officers can have more time to lock
after the legislative interests of the organ
ization; another raising the per capita tax
from 30 to 40 cents. At the last session it
was estimated that the premium of S20
would only be paid on ISO new councils.
Instead of that, 240 councils, costing 51,000
more than was estimated, was the record.
This leaves the State Council in an almost
bankrupt condition.
The report of E. S. Deemer, of Philadel
phia, the State Council Treasurer, is an in
teresting paper. It shows the receipts from
charter fees, per capita tax, etc., during the
year to have been 827,530 18; total receipts
of subordinate councils 5402,042 51; paid for
benefits and relief, 5150,154; in treasuries of
subordinate councils, 54.4,815 93; in treas
ury of Stat.' Council, 53,048 HI; due National
Council as per capita tax, 55.572 50,which
cannot be paid until the next per capita tax
has been received from the subordinate
councils.
Mr. Deemer makes a comparison of the
membership and financial standing with
other leading orders in the State, which
fhows that the Jr. O. U. A. M. is only ex
celled in Pennsylvania by the Odd Fellows.
STATE TREASURER'S REPORT.
The report of State Treasurer J. "V. Cal
ver is practically a repetition of the finan
cial portion of Secretary Dcemer's reporr.
All of the officers pay a glowing tribute to
the memoryof Junio'r Past State Councilor
J. 1 "Winower, who died during the year,
nfter spending many years of usefulness to
the organization. A memorial service in
his honor will be held here to-morrow even
ing. Officers for the ensuing term were nomi
nated as follows: State Councilor. Harry A.
Heissler, Philadelphia; State Vice Coun
cilor, Charles M. ilaymond, Middletown;
State Treasurer, John AV. Calver. Owing
to the present State Vice Councilor, Hiram
J. Slifcr, having resigned and moved to one
of the Western States, a State Councilor for
next year had to be selected from the floor.
"William T. Kerr, of Pittsburg, was urgently
pressed by his friends but he declined.
The electiou will take place to-morrow.
Alleghenv Citv, Eaton, New Castle,
Altoona, Philadelphia, AVest Chester, York,
Meadville, Chester, Allcntonn, Pottstown,
Punxsutawney, Pittsburg and McKeesport
were nominated for the next place of meet
ing. A choice Mill be made to-morrow.
Telegrams of gieetilig were sent to the
State Councils of New Hampshire and
Massachusetts, now in session.
ALMOST DECAPITATED.
The Horrible Death of a Dell Boy on a
Columbus Hotel jSlevator.
Coiatmiics, Sept 15. Special Harry
Kennedy, aged 14, a bell boy at the Neil
Houm?, lost his life instantly this evening
in a most horrible manner. He was run
ning the elevator temporarily and was mak
ing an upward trip. He got down on his
knees to look into the car below and his
head caught against the top of the door on
the third floor. His head was nearly sev
ered from the body.
The elevator was at once stopped by the
regular elevator boy, who was in the car
riage below, otherwise the head would have
been completely taken from the body. The
sight was a most distressing one, and many
guests became taint and sick on viewing
the remains.
A Pleasant Trip.

Continued from Itnl rage.
merely asked if it was the last car. Several
passengers wondered at a woman standing
on the street at such an hour, and they are
now wondering whether she was not a Fitz
simmons' accomplice.
Detectives Steele and Johnston, of Alle
gheny, declared last night that they had a
well founded clew to the whereabouts of
Fitzsimmons. They maintained that their
declaration was not idle talk, and intimated
that they had seen some one or more per
sons yesterday afternoon from whom they
had procured considerable information.
They would not tell anything definite as to
what their information was, but neverthe
less were emphatic in their statement,
"When asked why they did not follow the
clew out and if possible arrest the escaped
prisoner, they said it would entail more
or less expense which they did not
feel justified in con tributing to out of their
own pockets. They said also that it would
be useless to lay their information before
the County Commissioners as they would
be referred to the Pittsburg police officials.
A Detective Changes llli Mind.
Detective Johnston early yesterday was
of the opinion that Fitzsimmons was in
hiding in the city, but later in the day,
after he had seen certain people, Jie
changed his mind and said he had gone out
of town. Detective Steele backed
him up in his theory and said
that he could get him or was
reasonably sure he could, if he could only
get a horse and buggy and drive out of Al
legheny some 35 or 40 miles. He did not
believe he had gone out of town by train
and said he thought Fitzsimmons had not
been on or even teen a train since he es
caped. Superintendent of Police "Weir said:
"Either Fitzsimmons has obtained money
and help to get him clear out of the country
or else he is located right here in Pittsburg,
being hidden away by a friend."
Assistant Superintendent Koger O'Mara
said" "I am confident Fitzsimmons will be
caught The reward of $1,000 will be as
operative as if a much larger sum had been
offered."
The disappearance of a skiff from Matt
Cavanangh s boathouse on the Monongahela
river Monday night led to the belief that
Fitzsimmons had taken to the river for
escape. Nobody could be found down the
river who had seen a man in a skiff, and the
clew was dropped.
FrrzsijmoNS had funds.
Some Stories About Big Drafts and Other
Sources of Supply.
That Fitzsimmons was well supplied with
money is attested by the jail officers who
stated yesterday he always seemed to have
plenty of money with which to purchase
eatables outside of the prison fare. "Watch
man Marshall said yesterday that Fitzsim
mons received but very few packages from
outside friends and just how the saws got to
him was a mystery.
There was a report in circulation yester
day to the effect that on Monday 56,000 was
drawn out of one of the city banks for
Fitzsimmous. Detective Beltznoover heard
of this story and made an investigation of
it. He found that while no money had
been drawn for the prisoner an attempt had
been made to draw that amount of money
for him and the bank refused to give it.
The detective refused to state what bank it
was, but said that it was one of the banks
in the citv.
A LETTEK TO TOM HASSHALX.
Another Missive Written by the Escaped
Prisoner Some Time Ago.
Fitzsimmons is something of a letter
writter. A missive follows that he wrote
to Tom Marshall, his attorney, some time
ago. The writing has been compared with
the document sent to The Dispatch yes-

Babtilx de PrrrsBUBo, Augusts.
My Dear Mr. Marshall:
Your kindly epistolary consideration, was
welcomed to hand this a. m., and when your
humble client expresses joy and pleasure at
the tidings you herald "of your health being
much better" it signals but a faint of my
hearty approval. Men are scarce and when
we find a Human sincere Humane and mas

and proud years of longevity, it is
a duty you owe civilization that
you husband and recuperate your ener
gies by the protracted stay at Bedford
amidst the health restoring spectacle of pure
waters, mountain air and the delights of
grand old nature in all her summer beauty,
and return to the fields of your labors and
usefulness with a new lease of life.
My wife repeatedly remarks the absence of
her cherished counsellor. "We also miss your

LOCATING THE BLAME.
ONE OF THE KEEPERS AT JHE JAIL
"WAS NOT ON DUTT.
It Is Claimed That There Are Not a Suffi
cient Number oi Men Employed A
Watchman "Who Did Not See or Hear
Anything.
The question of where the blame lies for
the escape is receiving universal comment.
The tendency seems to be to place it largely
on the management of the jail. Under or
dinary circumstances two keepers
stay inside over night. Monday
nighi there was but one. Mr. Bobb,
whose duty is to remain in the office, at
tending to books, etc., overnight, was taken
suddenly ill and could not report for duty.
Instead of finding somebody else to take
his place Keeper "Wycoff was brought out
from the inside. This left Keeper James
Larimer in charge alone.- It has been cus
tomary for keepers to make the round of
the jail about once in every hour. Keeper
Larimer made no round after 1 o'clock in
the morning.
He sat at the desk and neither saw nor
heard any of the operations. In fact, he
went home on being relieved by Keeper
Price, satisfied that all was well. Keeper
Price soon discovered the mistake. War
den "Wright, of the penitentiary, yesterday
told County Commissioner Boyle that the
jail system was decidedly loose, and the
Commissioners were just as much responsi
ble for it as anybody else.
Mayor Gourley, one of the members of
the Prison Board, said: "The revelation is
startling and Allegheny county has learned
a lesion. From what 1 have learned 1 can
not regard it otherwise than as almost crim
inal negligence on the part of the manage
ment." Others say the fault lies with the Prison
Board in not allowing tha employment of
a sufficient number of men. They say the
jail officers are tied down by a set of poor
rules, compelled to work 12 hours at a turn
and hampered in many ways. The fact that
no attention was paid to the warnings about
the escape is the strongest point against the
officials. County Detective Beltzhoover
said concerning this:
"Detective Murphy and myself plainly
told them that some plot was hatching, and
asked that the Clarks and Fitzsimmons be
I rat into other cells. The jail poople
aughed at and ridiculed us for what they
termed our childish fears. They declined
to do anything, and this is the result. I
feel confident that if proper precautions
had been taken after the warning came
Fitzsimmons would be behind the bars yet
and not laughing at us all."

Story of the Murder of Detective Gllklnson
at Bull's Bun.
The murder for which Fitzsimmons was
to be tried was that of Detective David H.
Gilkinson on the afternoon of March 21,
1891. The scene was at Bull's Run, oppo
site McKeesport, but about two miles dis
tant. Gilkinson had fastened on Fitzsim
mons the burglary of aMoKeesport drygoods
store and that of robbing Schmidt's jewelry
store in Homestead. As was his custom
Detective Gilkinson had worked up all the
evidence before making the arrest, and at a
given time members of the gang in three
different States were to have been arrested.
On this afternoon Gilkinson was accom
panied by Constable Paddy Murphy. "When
,the lonely house was reached Gilkinson
asked lor "Budd, as he was then known.
Mrs. Gilkinson refused to admit them.
They forced their way in. As they reached
the doorway to the bedroom itzsimmons
fired. The detective did not stop. He
fired again and Gilkinson fell with two
bullet wounds in his temple. Murphy kept
up the fight until his revolvers were empty
and then fled. He was struck by three
balls, but he had wounded both Fitzsim
mons and his wife.
By a wonderful effort Murphy dragged
himself to McKeesport and gave the alarm.
The whole State was alarmed. The follow
ing night Fitzsimmons was arrested in
Homestead by Officer McAllister and
brought to Pittsburg. He was tried and
convicted on two charges of robbery. In
the June term of court the murder case
came up for trial, bnt owing to the illness
of Thomas M. Marshall, Sr., it was post
poned until September. It was to have
been started next week.

The "Well-Known Police Official Talked of

The talk of a rigid investigation by the

about a change of officers. About the Court

cussed, and several names were
brought forward as aspirants for the
Eosition of warden. Among them were
ieon Long, Clerk of, the Crimiual Court;
George Trasch, councilman; James "Wil

would have an easy victory.
Inspector McAleese's record as a police
official was pretty freely discussed, and it
was generally conceded that his natural
abilities, coupled with long experience in
dealing with criminals, would be Strong
points in his favor. The members of the
Prison Board and the Judges of the county
have been thrown into frequent contact
with him and are fully aware of his ability

KOCH'S DISCOVERY.
The tubercle bacilli was discovered by
Prof. Koch, to be constantly present in
all casts of consumption. Whews the
blood is impoverished or impure, there
results that constitutional condition
known as scrofula, which is character
ized by the liability of certaia tissues
to become the seat of chronic inflam
mations and enlargements. Virchow
says "their vulnerability is excessive."
Consequently, exciting causes which
would have only passing effect upon a
healthy subject, would produce inflam
mation and disease in the scrofulous.
These troubles may start as catarrh in
the nasal passages, throat or lungs, and
as the membranes become weakened,
the tubercle bacilli enter, and multi
ply, aud we have, as a result, that dread
disease Consumption.
Find a perfect remedy for scrofula, in
all its forms something that purifies
the blood, as well as claims to. That,
if it's taken in time, will cure Con
sumption. It has been found, in Dr.
Pierce's- Golden Medical Discovery. As
a strength-restorer, blood-cleanser, and
flesh-builder, nothing like it is known
to medical science. For-Scrofula, Bron
chial, Throat, and Luug affections-, "Weak
Lungs, severe Coughs, and kindred ail
ments, it's the only remedy so sure that
it can be guaranteed. If it doesn't bene
fit or cure, your money is refunded.
