HIS SIN FOUND HIM OUT.
Labor Conimissioner Peck in
a Baa Fix,
Incriminating Evidence Fonnd
Against Him.
Janitor LH'uison's Testimony Fully
Corroborated.
Mr*. Lease Calls a Georgia Beporter a
Liar—The Latter Challenges Her
Champion—Other Polit
ical Matters.
By the Associated Press.l
New Yohk, Sept. 22.—The Herald's
Albany correspondent says, in regard to
Labor Commissioner Peck's case: The
reliance of the prosecution is on burned
fragments of paper taken from the fur
nace. Some fragments are of the exact
color, texture and print of tbe forms
sent out by Peck's bureau to collect in
formation for his tariff report. On some
can be distinctly read the names of New
York and Brooklyn firms engaged in the
woolen and clothing business.
The nature of the evidence on which
the indictment is found is the same aa
told in the dispatches tbe night Peck
was arrested. Janitor Denison told
again how, at the request of Steno
grapher Rogers, he agreed to make a
fire in this furnace and burn a lot of
papers they bad stored in Peck's bath
room. The packages were wrapped in
manilla paper and marked with numbers
in blue pencil. The janitor had no
chance to scrutinize the papers, as
Rogers stood over him. Peck watched
closely while the papers were being re
moved from tbe bathroom. Tbe janitor
says Rogers said: "I dont want anyone
to know about this. Do you think it
will be known?"
The janitor replied that he guessed
not.
The jailor farther said, while tbe pa
pers were in the bathroom, Peck said to
him: "William, if any one calls, tell
him I'm out."
After all the papers were in the fur
nace, and ac Rogers was going up tbe
stairs, he said: ''If any one comes now,
it's all right, William, Mr. Peck will see
them."
Testimony of a corroborative nature
as to tbe color and contents of tbe re
turns used in makiDg up Peck's reports
was given by clerks of the labor bureau.
Their description of the blanks tallies
exactly with that given by the janitor,
of those he destroyed. The express
man's description of the packages he
carried to Peck's room, also corresponds.

Vice-President.
Washington, Sept. 22.—The National
Woman Suffragists' nominating conven
tion met here yesterday and nomin

tin of New York and London

to allow them to cast a ballot this fall,
and says: "By the united efforts of the
women voters of the nation, we will
drive anarchy, crime, insanity and
drunkenness from our midst by humani
tarian efforts, backed by tbe ballot.
MRS. LEASE'S SHARP TONGUE.
£he Call! a Georgia Newspaper Reporter
a Liar.
Columbus, Ga., Sept. 22. —Daring a
third party meeting here today, Mrs.
Lease characterized the Atlanta Journal
as a lying sheet, and its representative
as a liar. The reporter, who got affida
vits in Pulaski regarding Weaver, was
on the stage, and stated be had the affi
davits in his pocket to prove the correct
ness of the Journal's report, and would
read them. Weaver declared he should
not, as he had engaged the house. Great
confusion ensued. The reporter was
finally removed from the stage. He told
Weaver Mrs. Lease's sex protected her,
but be would burl tbe lie in the teeth of
any man who step out as her champion.
South Carolina Democrats.
Columbia, S. C, Sept. 22.—The Dem
ocratic state convention today chose

A Triumph for Oregon Pine.
Halifax, N. S., Bept. 22—Thomas
Bentley, a spar maker, has left here for
the Pacific coast, where he will load a
large vessel with Oregon pine masts for
Nova Scotia. This will be the first im
portation of this wood to the maritime
provinces in quantity, for the spar-mak
ing trade. The spar makers have for
some years past been combating tbe
rising popularity of Oregon pine by ad
vocating Canadian eoft and white pines,
but to no purpose, and they will now
have to import spars to satisfy their pa
trons.
Colored Men In Council.
Indianapolis, Ind., Bept. 22 —The
National Colored Men's association is in
session here. George E. Taylor, of
Oskaloosa, lowa, is presiding. A na
tional appeal is to be issued, which
asks: "May we be permitted to live
peacefully as common citizens of the
country, or must we submit to the
cruel, merciless judgment of Judge
Lynch, the faggot and the enemy's
bullets?" The associa.ion declares
itself to be entirely non-partisan.
Desperate Telegraphers.
Cedar Rapids, lowa., Sept. 22.—The
Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern
telegraph operators, out on a strike, are
desperate in some places. Considerable
cutting of wires was done during the
night; other wires were crossed, imped
ing communication. Trains are held till
safe to run out. Linemen are at work.
A CRAZY MAN'S CRIMES.
He Murdered His Babe and Beat His
Aged Mother.
MoKßisTowiJ, Pa., Sept. 22.—1n a
frenzy of delirium, caused by typhoid
fever, William Loch today cut the thront
of Ilia 16-months'-old daughter, telling
it as he did so that it would be an angel.
He afterwards bathed his face in the
blood of the child. The witnesses of
the tragedy were powerless to prevent it.
Tuesday last, while delirious, Lock,
going to the room of his aged mother,
began to beat her over the head aud
shoulders with a club. Neighbors, at
tracted by her screams, rushed in and
overpowered the fanatic. The old lady
was badly cut and bruised, and her arm
broken in two places. The physicians
fear she will not live long. A male
nurse was then procured to watc'.i Lock,
but the murderous instinct seemed to
have left him. Last night, however,
during the absence of the nurse, he, en
tering the room occupied by his wife and
two small children, seized the babe, and
taking a razor from the mantle, he
walked out again on the porch roof.
Holding the child upj in the air, he
cried: "If I cut your throat you'll be
an RDgel, Jesus has commanded me to
wash my face in your blood "
The shrieks of th'> agonized mother
aroused the household and the neigh
bors, but they could not get to the porch
in time to save tbe child. Lock cut its
throat from ear to ear, then laying the
bleedirjg form on tbe porch, he plunged
his hands into the warm blood and
washed his face in tbe crimson fluid.
Lock was taken to jail, where be will be
held to await the action of the author
ities.
CIVIL RIGHTS.
MONGOLIANS HOLD A MAB9 MEET-
ING AT COOPER UNION.
They Demand Liberties Under tbe Con
stitution Alice Same Mellcan,
and Bitterly Denounce the
Geary Bill.
New York, Sept. 22.—A large audi
ence gathered at Cooper union tonight
at a mass meeting held under the
auspices of the Chinese Civil Bights
league of New York city, to protest
against the Qeary bill. Wong Chin Foo
called the meeting to order and intro
duced a Chinese physician, Dr. Thorn,
who spoke at length on the object of the
meeting. The audience, he said, was
invited to attend as lovers of fair play.
The United States had violated its treaty
stipulations with China, but the Chi
nese are victims of both political parties.
They have no votes. Any anti-Chinese
measure will receive the support of
either party. He said be lived for years
under tbe government of China, but
bad never seen personal liberty inter
fered with. Who among his hearers
would submit to such tyranny? How
does the bill conform to the declaration
of independence, which says all men
are born free and equal ?
Dr. William B. Derrick (colored).
Wing Foo Chin, Rev. Gifford Nelson, of
Brooklyn, and Rev. Dr. Baldwin spoke
against the bill before David Curtis read
resolutions which were adopted. They
denounce the bill, and protest against
the enforcement of the measure, and
close as follows: "We, citizens of the
United States, in mass meeting assem
bled, do hereby resolve and declare that
said bill is monstrous, inhuman and un
constitutional, and we hereby pledge
ourselves to support the protest against
said bill which has been entered by the
Chinese Civil Rights leagueof New York
city."
During the meeting copies of the Na
tional Anti Chinese Journal, which is
devoted to promulgate the existing evils
and injuries caused by Chinese amongst
us," were distributed in the corridors.
Tbe police did not interfere, and the
Chinese completely ignored it.
AN EXPENSIVE LVXCBT.
Lieutenant-General Underwood's Sine
cure Abolished.
Portland, Ore., Sept. 22. —'When the
present term of office of Lieutenant-Gen
eral Underwood expires next year, the
army headquarters of the I. O. 0. F.,
witb all tbe military offices above those
of department or will
bo abolished, and each Patriarch Mili
tant branch of the order will be placed
under the control of the state encamp
ment, within whose jurisdiction it is lo
cated. This Action was taken by tbe
Sovereign Grand lodge this afternoon,
and was accomplished by adopting a re
port submitted by a special committee
appointed a year ago to investigate the
"army headquarters" feature of the or
der, and suggest as to whether it is any
longer necessary. The committee found
that the system has accomplished its
mission and has become too expensive a
luxury to be. borne by the chevaliers.
It represents taxation without represen
tation, and the arbitrary power bestowed
by law upon those high in authority,
and the court martial method of redress,
are not in harmony with the principles
of Odd Fellowship, all of which have
become unnecessary with the removal of
the cause that called them into
being and have produced dis
quiet, apathy and indifference,
and in some quarters have awakened
strong opposition to a system oi govern
ment no longer necessary. A deter
mined stand was made for a return to
tbe former conditions and relationships,
and less expensive methods given to
other branches of the order, thus bring
ing the civil and military subordinate
bodies in closer touch and sympathy
with each other, and lightening the bur
dens that the present system necessarily
entails. By "army headquarters" is
meant the lieutenant-general, his
office appointees, and special committees
of the sovereign grand lodge, appointed
to aid him in bis work. Its abolition
will deprive the military branch of the
order of much of its fuss and feathers,
but will bring it closer to the non-uni
formed organization.
An Incendiary* Work.
Moncton, N. 8., Sept. 22.—At Buc
toucbe, 67 building's, houses and stores,
were burned last night. Tbe fire is sup
posed to have been incendiary. Twenty

Turf Krents at Gravesend, Latonla and
Stockton—Johnson Rides a Mile

Bicycle.
By the Associated Press.l
Providence, R. 1., Sept. 22.—Most of
the 40,000 persons who thronged the
grounds of the Rhode Island state fair
at Narragansett Pier, today, came to see
Hal Pointer, sent to break the record.
Without any special preparation of the
track, which was cut up by four or five
hours' racing, the great side-wheeler
paced two of the fastest consecutive
miles ever accomplished. About 2
o'clock Oeers gave Hal a mile in 2 :21;
later another in 2:18, and then, an hour
later, accompanied by a runner, Hal
started on a tilt against the watch. The
quarter was reached in 32>4, the half in
1:04, and everyone knew the record was
safe that trip. From the half Pointer
quickened his stride, coming the third
quarter in 31*4, and tbe last, which was
Btraigbt-away, in 31.
About 30 minutes later he started
again, this time getting a per
fect send-off, every fraction of a miie
showing accelerated speed. The runner
was a length back and flashed past the
quarter in 32 seconds. Tben Hal passed
the half in 1:03. and the three-quarters
in 1:34V0. Then the runner forged
ahead, Pointer came up the stretch witb a
magnificent burst of speed, (Jeers sitting
as still as a statue. As Hal's nose reached
the wire, a nrghty shout went up for
hundreds of watches stopped at 2:05,
some on the quarter, among them John
Turner's at 2:04%. Up in the stand W.
R. Allen and Mr. Hamlin caught it at
2 :05 1-5, and as the official timers agreed
with this, Narragansett Park shares
witb Washington park, Chicago, the
honor of the fastest harness mile.

Burgees McLuckie today made infor

BARBAROUS PCNISHMENI.
A Russian Murderess Condemned to a
Cruel Death.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 22 —In April
last Mrs. Aina Sainton, wife oi a profes
sor in the state college at Tavastehuus,
Finland, was found guilty of poisoning
her husband ; and, in accordance with
mediseval law, she has been sentenced
to be beheaded, and her body to be
affixed to a beacon and burned. She is
but 22 years old, married the professor
in 1890, and has one child. She con
fessed the crime, saying that she pois
oned her husband in order to secure bis
life insurance, as, by her extravagance,
he had run largely in debt. Her case
was carried to the court of appeals, and
that court not only affirmed the sen
tence, but has ordered that her right
hand be cut off, as an additional pun
ishment, for having several times forged
her husband's name to small checks
some time before his death. The sen
tence is a most terrible one, and it is
thought efforts will be made to get the
czar to commute it.
