Baltimore, Mi*., March 27.—The
(hypothecation of the sinking fund
' bonds by Stale Treasurer Archer, is the
one theme of conversation to-day. From
what is 'aid on all sides, Mr. Archer
seems to be the very last man who
would l*e suspected of wrong-doing.
The Mechanics' Bank, of this city,
which it was said in Annapolis dis
patches. last night, was the holder of
considerable Archer paper, refuses to
I talk further than to say that it is amply
protected by the deposit of coupon bonds
for all loans to Stan* Treasurer Archer.
M r. Archer was first elected Treasurer
in isi'U. In is$7 be succeeded Senator
Arthur 1*. Gorman, who resigned as
Chairman of the Democratic State Cen
tral Committee, and In each political
campaign since that year he has taken a
prominent part. His salary as State
Treasurer was $2,500 a year. Mr. Areher
is also an ex-Congressman, having been
tir't elected in 1846. He served four
terms consecutively.
A tolerably well authenticated stat**
tnent has been circulated that Mr. Ar
cher recently told close friends of his
trouble' and that they were so serious
llial the needed help eould not be given.
No one at Annapolis seems to know
just yet of the extent of State Treas
urer Archer’s difficulties. Every one,
however, is willing to believe the
amount involved is small, ami say
that it was insane impulse which
forced Mr. Areher to reject aid. inti
mate friends of Archer have known of
hi' trouble since Monday, and any
amount needed to make good his short
age was offered. One man tendered
$25,000 in cash, if necessary.and without
security. He rejected all offers of aid,
saying that he himself alone eould set
tle tie affair. When last in Annapolis.
Mr. Areher '.lid it would be the last
time !o would ever visit the place.
Another bank in Baltimore, other
than tiie Mechanics' Bank, is said here,
to hold a considerable amount of the
Archer paper.
Eight thousand dollars of State se
ciiritP ' have been found so far as to
have N eii pledged by Treasurer Areher
for his private account. There should
be In hi' po.'sessiou, to the credit of the
State, over six hundred thousand dol
lars of securities. These are to be
'•■arched out and their whcrcaliouts as
certained. A Joint Committee of tin- i
Senate and House of Delegates:
have been appointed to in
vestigate Archer’s accounts The |
matter is at a standstill
until thi' committee begins its invest!* ,
gallon. The amount is suppose! to he |
large. There is great regret here over j
the revelations. No one is Allowed to
'• e Archer other than his wife and
daughter and the attending physician.
The la*! named 'ays that Mr. Archer Is
threatened with congestion of the brain,
the result of protracted overwork and
worry, but that a fatal termination may
be alerted by rest and seclusion.

LA BO K KBS COMBINE.
Another Long l>l»ou»»l<»n Yesterday «*> the ;
Anti-Trust Bill.
Washington, March 27.—The nnti
trust hill was again taken up to-day and j
the amendments to it as n'i>ortcd from
the Committee of the Whole were
: brought before the Senate.
; The first amendment that gave rise to 1
discussion was the provision excepting
i from the prohibitions of the law the
combinations of workmen and farmers.
Mr. Edmunds declared himself in !
favor of doing everything that the Con
stitution permitted Congress to do iu
suppressing and breaking up trusts and j
monopolies, because iu the long run ^
(however they might reduce cost for the ;
time being) all human experience proved
them to be destructive to the public
welfare. People eould not shut their
eyes to the fact that if capital combined,
! if" great industrial
ESTABLISHMENTS COMBINE!*
to regulate wages the workmen were
compelled also to combine to defend i
themselves. And so this country and ]
other countries had been for the last !
forty years turned into great camps of
| enemies, while there ought to bo only
one camp of co-operative friends, t.xen
j in the eitv of Washington, when- Con
gress hud exclusive jurisdiction. masons, i
carpenters, bakers, tailors, printers and I
all trades had their combination, which
were armed camps making aggressive
warfare against the rest of mankind.
He had learned of a case which occurred (
here onlv a few months ago, where a ;
skilled printer, a citizen of the United ;
States, a man of good character and 1
I with little money (such things some
! times went together, even in the Senate ,
,.f the United States.) applied to the j
public printer for employment; and al- ,
! though he was just the man who was;
wanted to till a vacancy, the public ;
printer was not permitted to employ h im,
because, he was told, if he did, nine*
tenths of the printers employed iu the
: ofllcc would cease work, ami the
! country
WOULD GO TO IiKsTKUCTtOX
(localise it could not read to-day what
liatl iteen said in Congress yesterday.
And this was because the man did not
! belong to a particular combination. If
that was not tyranny. Mr. Edmunds did
| not know what tyranny was.
' The tyranny of a thousand men was
! infinitely worse than the tyranny of one
man. just as the tyranny of the corn
mum- in France was worse than that
inf the monarch who had been over
thrown. Taking the iron industry as an
i illustration. Mr. Edmunds went on to
argue that if labor combinations put up
j the price of wages rat per cent., the
people w ho owned the mines and the
furnaces and the forges had the right to
I combine to protect themselves so as to
get such prices as would make up jor j
the increased cost of production. He
was willing to go as far as Congress bad
! |tower to go in the way of breaking up
the great monopolies that existed to the
.country. So far as the constitutional
question wont, h«* believed tbntthe safe
tv of the nation depended more largely i
'on the preservation of what were called .
ill,, rights of the States than on any |
other thing. He. therefore, should be i
slow ABOUT VOTING
for any act of Congress, which h«
thought went ever the boundary which |
I the constitution prescribed.
! Mr. Platt made an earnest attack up- j
on the bill as a bill that was aimed at j
every business in the United States. j
Mr. Walthall moved to refer the bill •
and amendments to the Judiciary tom- •
mittee. with instructions to report hack ;
within twenty days. The motion was ,
agreed to: yeas 31. nays 28.
The Republicans who voted in the
affirmative were Cameron. Higgins,
P,,tt Stanford. Stockbridge. Teller
and Welcott. The Democrats who
voted in the negative wore Harry. Cock
rcll. Pugh. Turple, Vance and 'oor
h.s-s. •
Negotiation* Raptured.
Livkkinh.u Mareh 37.-A delegation
: „f the striking dock laborers called
upon the employers t.vday and demand
ed the discharge of the men who ha\<
been brought to Livnrpwt to
places ef the strikers. The employers
declined to accede to the demand, and
the negotiation for a settlement of the
strike, based upon Mr. Davit! s recorn
! mendation, have been ruptured.
WYOMING ADMITTED.
lUpubllcuii* Salting Their N est fur the
Next Caiui>ai|fu.
Washington, March 27.—The House
met at 11 o’clock in continuation of
Wednesday’s session and the Wyoming
admission bill was again taken up for
consideration.
Mr. Outhwaite, of Ohio, opposed the
bill, basing his opposition upon the in
sufficiency of population in the proposed
State.
Mr. Huckalew, of Pennsylvania, also
antagonized the measure, declaring that
it was a bribe held out to Congress by
the local office-seeking element in the
Territory. It was intended to pack the
United States Senate—a Senate already
having eight new Republican scats, six
fairly held and two stolen.
Mr. McAdoo, of New Jersey, said that
the Constitution of Wyoming, if not the
worst constitution ever adopted, was
abreast of the worst. There was in that
constitution everything bad in politics,
morals and economies. The only good
thing in it was the clause which allowed
it to be amended. It held out to the
European syndicates an advertisement
that Wyoming was the mecca to which
they should hasten their steps in order
to gobble up the public lands.
Sir. Springsr, of Illinois, commented
upon the small attendance of members
when a bill of this importance was lie
fore the House. The position which he
had taken in regard to the territories
was an advanced one. In the last Con
gress he had favored the admission of
the four new States. At this session he
hud introduced an omnibus bill, be
cause he thought all the territories
should be treated fairly and equally.
The Wyoming bill gave women the
right of suffrage. The Idaho bill
deprived the Mormon men and women of
Mormons voted the Republican ticket,
while in Idaho it was suspected that
they voted the Democratic ticket. Mor
mouism was no objection to the admis
sion of a State, except when the |>eop!e
having that belief were suspected of
having a desire to vote the Democratic
ticket, lie believed that if the Mor
mons of Utah would vote with the
Republicans the settlement on the
other side would railroad a bill through
the House, for the admission of that
territory as a State. It was said by the
majority as an excuse for the small
vote which hud been cast for the consti
tution, that there was a driving snow
storm and a tremendous gale, which
had kept the people from the polls, lie
created much merriment and applause
on the other side by quoting from the
meteorological returns, to show that the
tremendous gale which had kept the
people from the polls had been a gentle
breeze of one mile an hour, ami tin*
driving snow storm hail dwindled down
to a small flurry.
Mr. (irovener of Ohio said that the
Democratic party since the fall of
slavery, and since it had ceased to ad
mit States in order to keep up the policy
of slavery, had always opposed the ad
mission of States. A hostility, either
o|»eu and declared as now, or covert or
insinuated as in the Fiftieth Congress,
had always Ween the policy of the Dem
ocratic party.
At otic o'clock the previous question
was ordered. Mr. Springer, on behalf
of minority of the committee, offered an
amendment providing for another con
vention, called under authority of an
act of Congress. Lost; yeas 131, naVs
138.
Mr. Springer then offered his last
amendment, which strikes out the
clause of the Wyoming constitution pro
viding for female suffrage.
Defeated. Yeas 132, nays 138.
Mr. Ureckenridge, of Kentucky,
moved to recommit the hill. Lost.
Yeas 139, nays 144. The bill was then
passed. Yeas 13<*, nays 137. This was
a strict party vote, except that Mr. Dun
nell, of Minnesota, voted with the Dem
ocrats.
The House then went into committee
of the whole, Mr. Allen, of Michigan, in
tie- chair, on the army appropriation
bill. The bill was read at length, and
without action the committee rose and
the House adjourned.

CRIES OF HELP.
THE HAVOC OF SPONTANEOUS CuNBUSTlON IN
A SUGAR REFINERY.
Pieces cf the Building and Machines Hurled in
Every Direction—Workmen Panic-Stricken.
A Score of Bruised and Bleeding Victims
Taken From the Ruins.
Chic ago, March 27.—A disastrous ex
plosion occurred tills evening in the
Chicago Sugar Refining Company's
plant at the corner of Taylor and
Beech streets. One man was fatally
hurt and twenty others severely
burned. The explosion occurred in the
starch drying room. Spontaneous com
bustion is supposed to be the cause.
The building iu which the explosion
took place Is a two story brick
structure separated from the tall
main building. Twenty-seven men
were at work iu the starch tower, and
General Manager Arnold Behr had Just
entered the building, when tin*re came
a tremendous clap, followed by flushes
of tire and the rumbling of failing tim
bcr. Shattered portions of tIn* building
and machinery were hurled In every
direction, and the men in an instant
found themselves beneath a mass of
debris which was soon ablaze. Two
hundred men arc employed in the main
building. When they heard the reportof
the explosion and saw the glare of the
flames t hey were panic stricken. Cries
for help sounding above the roar of the
lire brought the main building men to
their senses and with the aid of eighteen
lire engines the refinery was barely (
saved, and by lively work when once
started a score of bruised and bleeding
victims were soon being deposited on
improvised couches in the laboratory.
The explosion resulted in the loss of
at least three lives, and the wounding of
sixteen others: The dead are: Labor
ers Franz Graf, of South Union street:
one Ticdcman. of 1!*4 l>e Kovon street,

HTII.I. AXOTBKK VRRSIOX.
A young man, who was in Sadie
Tracy’s house yesterday, gives a third
version of the endeavor to get the girl
Lulu Cress Into the house. He says he
was there when Dickey entered and told
Miss Tracy the girl w as outside. She
insisted on his bringing her in, and that
after Dickey went out Williams came
in. Miss Tracy asked him if that was
not the girl lie had agreed to bring her
from Uhrichsvllle, and W illlams an
swered that it was. and in«|ired what
had become of her. Miss Tracy said
she had been there, and had gone away
with Dickey. Williams then left.
This story shows that both men were
at Miss Tracy's on Wednesday and con
firms the claim that there was a regular
understanding lietwcon all the parties,
about bringing girls to the house.
TIIKKATX AOAIXST OKl’K KIt SHOUTS.
It is positively known that Williams
made threats against Officer Shorts yes
torday morning, lb* told one citizen
that Shorts had done him an injury
which In* would resent, and that the
morning papers would have something
slurtllng. lie said In* Intended to kill
the officer, and did not care what be
came of him afterwards. It i*supposed
he drew tin* knife, on the way to the
jail, hoping lie would see Shorts, but
turned the blade against himself through
a sudden impulse.
WHO WIIXIAMS Is.
Williams' real name seems tn be James
Williams. That is the name attachi-d
to the affidavit, and is probably correct,
lie has been al«mt the city for about
four years, ami during all that time h<
has lioen Intimate with Dickey. The
two men had a room in the second
story of the Mirahen block, on Market
street, north of Tenth, and kept their I
stuff then*. They took orders for en
larging pictures, made picture frames,
got subscriptions for papers, eanvassed
for books, Vie. \\ llliams seems
to have been the tilianeier of
the concern, as he always
bad money. Where Williams came from
Is uncertain, but lie is believed to hall
from either Howling tlreeu or Danville.
Ivy. He has been In Pittsburg several
times, and Is believed to* be well ac
quainted there. He was not searched ,
yesterday, after his arrest, owing to Ids
precarious condition, and it i» probable
lie may have papers which will throw
more light upon Ids career. Officers
went to the rooms in the Mircben block,
yesterday, in search of Dickey, but lie
was not found.
Wednesday afternoon, after the girl
Dulu Cress had been taken away from
him, Williams went to the starting
place of the Ml. Pleasant hack, at the
market house, and then went to the
bridge toll house, lie had a letter In
his hand addressed to * * I.il III t'l'ess.'
He asked if the hack had passed, saying
something about papers in connection
with It. A man who knows him Inti
mately, Mr. Porter, of Tenth street,
said he had tried repeatedly to get the
name of Williams' home from him, hut
the fellow always evaded the question.
There Is a surmise that Williams has
been in some more si-rioiis trouble than
anything at present known, and It may
he that Ids sudden determination to lake
Ids life arose from a fear on his part
that the police had Ids record down
fine.
hicki:i's rAUKf.it.
Dickey has Ijcen arrested several
times, and at present there are two old
State warrants sgainst him. one for re
sisting an officer, and the other for di
orderly conduct. They were obtained
by the late Constable St. Myers, but
Diekev kept out of llie way until Mr.
St. Myers died, lie was last arrested
by the police alsiut February '-"id. and
was lined S.'i for disorderly conduct.
Once he attempted to kill Ids
mother with a knife, at their home
on Vermont street, Island, an<l
was arrested by Officers I,likens and Mi
Nichols, after a good deal of trouble,
lie was also examined as to Ids lunacy,
but was discharged. He t«s>k a ring
from an Island girl, a short time ago,
and refused to give it up. The girl lives
in Monroe county. <I.
Wit.MAMS as A I.AHtK.s' MAX.
Williams seems to have had a mania
for the society of women, and In addi
tion to Ids escapades with females of a
questionable charaeter.be was a regu
lar caller tt|sin several young ladles of
good families. He wa« rather
frequently seen at flic opera House w llll
w hite girls, and as be was a very clever
talker be bad little trouble in making
acquaintances. His canvassing busi
ness also tended to keep him well ac
quainted with girls, and afforded him
opportunities for conquest.
