DINGMAH IS OK THE Wfflfi
Constables Are Looking for Him but
May Not Be Able to Find Him.
1LL LIKELY BE HOME TO-DAY
In Charge of a Detective "Who Will Help to
Get Him Out of Town Walked Out of tho
Station, but There Is Nothing to Show
That the Bail Bend Had Been Satisfied.
Special to The Times.
Pxttsbcbg, Ta., Nov. 26. Hnrrison Ding
man, president of the Fidelity Building, Loan
and Investment Association, will probably re
turn to Washington to-morrow a'tornoon, un
less constables, now looking for him, And
lum. He was released from the Central po
lice station this afternoon, and at 9 o'clock
to-night was at a hotel in tho custody of a
detective, who had orders to keep him out of
the way of the constables.
Attorney George Walker, who arrived from
"Washington, is hustling around trying to And
oomebody who will go security for Mr. Ding
man. As soon as the security is received tho
detective will help Mr. Dingman on a train
cut of town. The bond is 6,500.
There is considerable mystery about Ding
man's release. At 8 o'clock constables from
Alderman McMaster's office appeared at tho
Central police station to take him to tho Al
dcraan's ot&ce for a hearing on the suit en
tered by Mies Greenewald. The police re
fused to give up the prisoner, claiming the
charges were too great and the bail demanded
eo large they wore afraid to release him. As
nearly all the charges against him, they ar
gued, were entered before Police Magistrates
Donahoe and Doherty, the police court was
the proper place to try him.
Shortly after 4 o'clock Dingman and a de
tective walked out of the side entrance to tho
police station. It was thought he had been
released on bail, but there was nothing on
the docket showing the band bad been satis
fled. Some of the police officials claimed that
bail had been secured. Others said Ding
man was taken out to secure a change of
clothing, while others said he was still in tho
station house. One official told a reporter, in
whom he had confidence, the scheme was to
get Dingman away from the city as soon as
the bail was secured. At a late hour the de
tective and his prisoner were still missing.
The officials would not say whether bail had
bt'pn secured.
"When Attorney "Walker arrived to-day he
brought with him an indemnity bond of t25,
000. The police said it was not good enough.
An effort was then made to get some of the
Pittsburg masons to go security for Ding
man's appearance, but it was not successful.
County Treasurer "William Brown, a promi
nent mason, had agreed to do so, but changed
Lis mind. Tor some unknown reason the
people who wanted to get bail Saturday and
yesterday had cooled down and did not show
any anxiety to help the gentleman.
It Is said Attorney Walker telegraphed to
"Washington for $6,000 in cash and it may ar
rive by express to-morrow. By that time
Dincm&n may be at home.
Several Pittsburgers have oflffbd to go on
the bond if the cash is put up us security and
they will lose nothing.
special telegrams from all the near towns
where the Fidelity had branch offices, say the
depositors or stockholders have become
f r ghtened and demand their money. At
"Wheeling, "W. Va "W. L. Gallaher. the super
intendent, was arrested. "Warrants are out
for the two clerks in the office.
Severat more informations were entered
to-day before Alderman McMastors against
President Dingman and the other officers.
A suit was also filed against tho association
for neglecting to file a copy of their charter,
working plans, etc, in the county courthouse
as required by act of assembly. Mayor Mc
Kenna received a letter from Alexandria, Va.,
saying dozens of colored people in that city
and hundreds in Washington have been dupod
by the officers of tho association.

incident to the murder of the three Irish
heroes in Manchester on November 23, 1867.
The tyranny of England, be said, was unbear

Irishman, to swear allegiance to the Stars
and Stripes. This was the only country where
they might speak their honest opinions In
j ublic and not be punished for their utter
ances. Mr. P. T. Moran was tho next speaker. He
was glad to be able to say that the Irish
Americans are ready to sacrifice their livos, if
need be, to protect tho American flag. "I
want to publicly give the lie to assertions of
that organization styling itself the A. P. A..
wnirti declares that Irishmen are foes to good
gcveramt-nt."
Mr. Moran went on to say that tho Irish
men are the equals of any other raco. and in
conclusion declared that in the near future
they will be an indopondent nation.
Mr. James Turnby and several other mem
bers of the Emerald Club spoke in the same
strain before the meeting adjourned.

SURPRISE IN HOWGATE'S CASE.
District Attorney Birncy Made a Move, for
Which tho Defendant's Lawyers
Were Not Prepared-
There was a surprlso in 6tore for Judge
Jero Wilson and A. S. "Worthington, tho attor
neys of Capt. Henry W. Howgato, when they
appeared before Judge McComas yesterday
to conclude tho argument on tho demurrer to
tho indictments. Both were quite confident
of winning, and had arranged n division of
the argument between thorn so as to insuro
victory.
But'District Attorney Birney had been look
ing up some more authorities, which ho pre
sented. Among other points Mr. Birney pre
sented the fact thnt the forgery indictments
were framed under section 5118 of tho lie
vised Statutes of tho United States; while Mr.
"Worthington had been arguing ugainst them
on tho theory that they were drawn under
tho local statute of 1831. Mr. Birney urged
that under tho section of tho llovised Statutes
tho indictmonts are sound und will hold.
Ho was not ready to admit they were bad
under the local law but he was sure thoy
would hold under that ho now brought to tho
notice of tho court.
Mr. "Wilson attempted to break tho force of
this new fact by a laugh at Mr. Birney for
looking up musty laws on Sunday.
Alter Mr. Birney's citation of authorities
Mr. Worthington renewed his argument
against the indictment by saying every dis
bursing officer in tho government sorvice
would bo subject to indictment in tho terms
of the papers now presented. To this point
as made the ptner day Mr. Birney had mado
no answer. As to tho forgery indictments ho
said Mr. Birney was trying to make them
hold under both tho United States and the
local statute and so would have both applied
to tho case.
Judge Wilson said contrary to Mr. Birney's
belief, tho forgery indictments hail been
drawn under tho local statute. He then indi
cated what kind of an indictment was neces
sary in order to givo tao defendant a fair
chance. Ho pointed out thnt it was neces
sary to state In tho indictment what papers
were alleged to be forged and these failed to
do so.
When .Tudgo "Wilson concluded Col. "Will
iam A. Cook, who was present, arose to say
that he did not draw tho indictments, al
though he was assigned to that work. He un
derstood that the statement that ho drew
them had come from tho district attorney's
oflleo. Ho hoped tho contradiction would bo
as widely circulated as the original report.
Judge McComas waved this asido as a mat
ter with wbieh he had nothing to do. He
took tho arguments under ndvisement and
will render a decision as promptly as pos
sible. Tho grand jury yesterday continued lt3 ex
amination of witnesses preparatory to the
presentation of new indictments. Among
those summoned were C. H. Doing and W. G.
Bone. Doing is tho man from whom Capt.
Howgate escaped when first indicted. His
evidence is of great importance in the case.
UNDER NEW DISPENSATION.
Northeast Citizens' Association Installs
Its New Officers and Thanks the Old
Ones for Services Rendered.
To "welcome the coming and speed tho
parting guast" was in the main the order of
exercises at the session held last evening of
the Northeast Citizens' Association.
The ex-offlciais gave way, tho new ones
took charge; but prior to the change retiring
President Frizzell read a report which was in
tho nature of a valedictory "hail and fare
well." A vote of thanks was tendered each
of the rotiring officers.
President-elect Tucker was conducted to
the chair by Messrs. "W. H. Martin and J. B.
Burke, and upon taking chargo said the
principal reason for the existence of such an
association as theirs consisted in the fact
that, unlike any other city of the world.
"Washington does not confer the right of suf
frage upon her citizens, and tho organization
formed is the only medium througn which
they can be heard. Tho people do not know
whether the taxes they pay will bo used in
needed improvements or invested in a useless
tunnel or a Zoological Park.
A committee of live was appointed to assist
in securing tho appropriation for the desired
schoolhouse north of I street and east of
First street.
There was a committee of ten appointed,
consisting of S. B. Nevius, A. H. F. Halsten,
John R. Colvin, W. O. Miller. Nelson D. Ad
ams, Loring Chappel, S. K. Younc, G. E.
Burke, "W. S. Babbitt, and M. M. llouzer,
whose duty will bo to circulate for signatures
a petition for lighting H street northeast by
electricity.
Ellis Dalrymple and S. K. Young were
chosen by ballot as additional membera of
the executive committee, it having been voted
to increase tho number.
Tne association changod its night of meet
ing to the second Monday evening of each
month, and there is a proposition to also
change its name to Northeast "Washington

ADDICKS' BOOM IN DANGER
An Aspirant For the United States
Senate Sued for Divorce.
HIS DAUGHTER AGAINST HIM
All Delaware Is Convulsed with tho Story of
tho Man "Who Is Charged with Having
Fallon Victim to tho charms ofaFair-fat-and-forty
and Woalthy "Widow.
Philadelphia, Nov. 2G. Tho news that
Mrs. J. Edward Addicks has begun suit for
divorco from her husband will undoubtedly
creato a sensation in social and business
circles in New York, Boston, and Newport as
well us Philadelphia, whero both Mr. and
Mrs. Addicks aro well known.
Mr. Addicks was found at tho Union Leaguo
this nftornoon by a reporter for tho Asso
ciated Press, who showed him tho dispatch
from Wilmington containing tho news that
suit had been filed. In responso to a question
ho said: " Cho charges aro entirely fnlse. A
trial of the cause will demonstrate this. That
is all I hove to sny."
Although living most of the timo in differ
ent parts of the country Mr. Addicks has for
eighteen years claimed Claymont, Del., a
small town just over the Pennsylvania lino,
about ten miles north of "Wilmington, as his
homo, and has voted there. He has, how
ever, always lived a portion of each year at
his handsome country sent at Claymont. Ad
joining tho Addicks placo i3 tho mngniflcent
estate of Mrs. Ida Carr Wilson, who is namod
by Mrs. Addicks as tho co-respondent iu tho
case. Mrs Wilson, who is said to bo a tal
ented, fascinating woman of forty or forty
flvo, was onto a lender in society.
Mrs. Wilson's placo, to which she givo3 tho
romantic natno of Miralloros, is described ns
being a handsome house, with every modern
improvement. Tho grounds aro laid out with
beautiful walks and drives and ono of tho
features is a lily pond. Tho stablo is well
stocked with line carriages of all descriptions
and a number of driving and saddle horse3.
The libel filed by Mrs. Addicks alleges that
this establishment is maintained at the ex
pense of Mr. Addicks, and that ho ha3 for
years spent much of his time in the company
of Mrs. Wilson, neglecting his lawful wife
and finally, by his conduct, compelling her to
leavo him.
What effect the action of Mrs. Addicks will
havo upon the Senatorial aspirations of her
husband can only bo conjectured. Up to tho
present time all signs hae pointed to Mr. Ad
dicks as tho successor of Anthony Higglns in
the United States Senate. The legislature of
Delaware will elect a Senator on January 15.
Tho divorce case will bo referred to a com
missioner, who will tnko the testimony in
private, and until he flies his matter iu court
it is not Ilkoly that much will bo known of tho
allegations of Mrs. Addicks and the testimony
she has to support them.
Wilmington, Del., Nov. 26. Mrs. Addicks
and her daughter, Florence, havo been in
Euiope for a year, but they were in Wilming
ton tho day tho suit was filed. It is said they
aro now in Philadelphia, but their address
cannot bo learned to-night.
The gossips have been whispering about
tho case for many months, and it has been re
peatedly stated hero that such an action was
merely a question of time, but the proceed
ings were conducted so quietly that everyone
was taken by surprise when tho facts becamo
known to-day that definite steps had actually
been taken. "Wilmington has talked or nothing
else to-day, and to-night it la tho principal
topic all over the State.
Now that tho case has become publlo prop
erty it is recalled that much adverse comment
was current about Mr. Addicks' domestic af
fairs about tho time that Mrs. Addicks went
to Europe, and some of tho most intimato
friends of tho family asserted even then that
tho couple had separated permanently. It is
now asserted that since Mrs. Addicks' depart
ure for Europe her husband has spent so
much of his timo at Miraflores, tho country
seat of Mrs. Wilson, as to set all tho tongues
in tho neighborhood to wagging. It is ns
serted that be kept a pair of handsome thor
oughbreds in Mrs. Wilson's stnblo, and that
she frequently drove him to and from the rail
way station when he visited this place.
Mr. Addicks' andidacy for tho United
State Senatorship to succeed Senator Hig
gins has greatly itonsifled tho intorest taken
In tho divorco suit, and emphasize-, tho fact
that there have been rumors of an intention
upon the part of his opponents to spri, g a
scandal, which would blast his hopes. Mrs.
Addicks1 counsel assert, however, that poll
tics cut not figure in tho suit and deny that it
was brought at this timo for political effect.
They say their case was ready and they put It
into court.
John Edward Charles O'Sulllvan Addicks
was born in Philadelphia November 21, 1841,
according to a sketch recently written by
himself. Ho has a long line of Irish and
Scotch ancestry, and his grandfather flcurod
in tho Anie-i-an revolution. Afterapublio
school eduction hero ho began nctivo lifo as
r- "mployo of a wholesale dry goods house,

to tho use of water-gas for illuminating pur
poses, ho threw his whole fortuno into tho
project, erected works in Jersey City and
Boston, and eventually built the largo plant
of the Consumers' Gas Company, of Chicago.
It was this enterprise which resulted in the
formation of the now famous Chicago Gas
trust.

numbors S57.500.000, will, if tho expectations
of tho oillcials regarding tho deposits of gold

BERATED THE COURT.
Attorney General Patterson Says Its Ac
tion Is a Travesty Upon Justice.
Mcairnis, Tenn., Nov. 26. In tho trial of
tho alleged lynchers to-day Attorney General
Patterson attempted to placo his associate
counsel, ox-Attornoy General George B. Pe
ters, on tho stand, and was prevented by tho
court on the ground that Peters had been
present in tho courtroom during tho trial,
and was therefore incompetent to testify.
This ruliug brought the attorney general
to his feet to deliver a scathing arraignment
of the methods of tho court in dealing with
this case Ho Baid that to rulo out testimony
of such importance upon grounds so trivial
was a mockery of justice and a travesty upon
the law.
Tho attorney general further remarked that
if this evidence were ruled out ho would
wash his hands of all responsibility for the
prosecution of tho case. He then entered
upon an olaborate argument for fbe admis
sion of tho evidence, to which a reply no less
caustic and equally forcible was mado by tho
counsel for tho dofenso.
Eventually tho court took tho matter under
advisement and adjourned the court for tho
day.
BLAND ON THE BOND ISSUE.
Tho Money Monoroly, He Says. Thinks It
Is Now in the Saddle.
St. Lonis, Mo., Nov. 26. In responso to a
request forwarded to Hon. R. P. Bland oaklng
an expression on iho bond issue tho following
was received by tho Post Dispatch to-day:
"Lebanon, Mo., Nov. 26. If tho Secretary
of tho Treasury would exercise his option to
pay out sllvor for greenbacks and Treasury
notes issued under tho Sherman Inw thoro
could bo no drain of gold from tho Treasury.
The government of Franco does and keeps all
her money at par. This boud issuo business
looks like an attempt to forco Congress to re
tiro our Treasury notes and to substitute a
system of national bank currency.
The fight Is still on between tho advocates
of the free coinage of silver as tho truo mode
of currency reform nnd the adherents of tho
national banks. It is proposed by tho latter
to farm out to corporations tho power to con
trol tho value nnd volume of money. Surely
tho money monopoly of this country now
thinks it is in tho saddle, but timo will tell
whether tho peoplo or monopoly aro to rulo
this country. Youre truly. 11. P. Bland."

in usual mauner alFdny and tho receipts and
disbursements evinced no extraordinary con
dition. Tho bank officials ussert that thoy
havo no doubt that tho bulk of the money
taken by Seeley and Baker will be recovered.
This afternoon Director Beach said:
"Tho box of the late Frederick R. Baker In
the vaults of tho Park National Bank was
this afternoon opened in tho presence of tho
vice president of the Park National Bank and
their attorney, myself and tho Shoe and
Leather Bank attorney, and Frederick R.
Baker, son of tho Into Mr. Baker and bis at
torney. "Sundry papers of no value, memoranda
of possible va.ue and an amount of currency
Jess than 8300 wore found in the box. Thero
were also several life insurance policies drawn
by tho Equitable Lifo Insurance Company. I
do not feel at liberty to give their value, but
will say that the policies ure not contestable.
They are of correct dalo and probably havo
the suicide clause. In this box there was also
a will executed by the deceased Mr. Baker in
1871."
Detective Drummond, formerly chief of tho
United States Secret Service, was in confer
ence with several of the bank directors late
this aitornoon. Ho denied that be had been
called into tho case.
Paying Teller Sayro said at the close of this
afternoon's business: "At no time during the
day was thero any semblance of a run on tho
oank. Tho president and vico president of
tho Park National Bank have expressed their
willingness to como hero und work with us if
it bo necessary to save the bank. Happily this
will not bo necessary. Wehae paid out 80,
000, but our receipts have been largely in ex
cess of that amount."
Tho bank officials are going to pay consid
erable attention to the late Mr. Baker's lifo
insurance policies. They say that thoy aro
convinced that the Baker family will be made
to see the justice of the bank's claim against
his property and they look for restitution as
umple as can bo obtained.
The family of Fredenok Baker, the alleged
accomplice of Bookkeeper Seely, had ar
ranged that the funeral of the dead man
should tako place on Wednesday, but a post
ponement Is likely to become necessary. The
coronor of Queens county insists that an
autopsy shell be held in order to settle, if
possible, the question as to whether death
was tho result of accident or of suicidal de
sign. There Is a theory that an autopsy will
reveal the presence of poison in tho Internal
organs, which would in part explain the fact
thnt tho body was afloat so soon alter Jeafn.
Dr. Cocko, who made tho examination of
the body on Saturday, advances the theory in
explanation of the very unusual condition in
drowning cases, that when Baker fell over
board, as ho might havo done whilo shoving
tho boat off a submerged rock, tho air gath
ered under his coat and acting like a bladder,
kept him from sinking. Tho inquest has been
postponed until Saturday.
It has now become a question as to whether
tho estates of which Baker was the trustee or
oxeoutor have nor suffered by hi3 peculation.
August Kugel, one of the heirs to the estato
of Gottlieb Kagel, reported at Baker's office
to-day, upon tho authority of the bank named,
that he had ascertained that sixty-flVe shares
of the Chatham National Bank belonging to
the estato bad been transferred by Baker May
6H1879. The bank authorities refused to say
to whom tho shares had been transferrad. but
stated that as executor Mr. Baker had the
right to transfer them.
Mr. Kagel was excited. "I would havo
trusted Mr. Baker as a father," he slid.
"Here ho ha3 been paying mo the dividend
on the shares regularly and he transferred
them fifteen years ago without our knowing
anything about it. Tho shares aro no longer
in the name of tho estate."
Director Beach said this afternoon that the
anuouncement that a 20 per cent, assessment
had been levied on tho common stock was
promature.
"As a matter of fact." ho said, "less than
that will cover tho loss caused by tho defalca
tion, out we don't want to stop there. We
intend, if possiblo, to restore tho surplus to
its old figure, nnd in order to do this it may
be necessary to levy an assessment of 25 ppr
cent or a little more. "We stand ready to pay
any assessment necessary for this purpose.'
TROUBLE ON ITS MIND.
London's "Thunderer" Pears That tho Pro
tective Delusion lias Struck Deep.
London, Nov. 27. Tho Times this morning
has a leader commenting upon its Philadel
phia correspondent's survey of tho results
of tho rment elections in tho United

that it is impossible to contest tho evidence
that the elections affords that tho deep-root

tho Americans must not bo ovor-confidont.

Contagious Hospital Matter.
LEADING SPIRITS' CONFERENCE
Programme Arranged for tha Mass-meeting
To-night Eesolationa by St Stephen'
Church Ve3try Petition Indorsed by B. H
Warner, Mra. Logan, and Several Others.
Tho citizens of Mount Pleasant, Columbia
Heights, and Brightwood meant business
when thoy said the proposed Contagious Dis
ease Hospital should not be loeated in the vi
cinity qf their homes. II the Commissioners
do not heed their protests tho matter will bo
referred to a court of justice for settlement.
This action was definitely decided upon at a
conference last night of leading raemtere of
the three suburban cttiaens' associations. The
conference was held at the home of Mr. C. G.
Snyder, on Columbia Heights. The follow
ing gentlemen were present: Messrs. J. "W.
Somverillo, T. M. Exley, and T. 8. Rogers, of
tho Mount Pleasant Association; William, A.
Gatley and Claude P. King, of Brightwood,
and Messrs. G. B. Towles. George Simmons,
E. G. Jeffries. C. G. Snyder, G. M. Hnsted,
and Capt. OTerrall, of Columbia Heights.
Mr. Somervllle presided and it wa3 only a
short time before the gentlemen decided to
take the matter into court if necessary. Then
they proceeded to discuss tho best plan of
action for tha mass-meeting to be hehl this
evening at the Branch Mission Hall, eornerof
Fourteenth street and Florida avenue. Thia
was thought best in order to present the sub
ject to the citizens in aeonciso form and allow
an abundance of time for discussion. Several
resolutions were framed, but later changed
and when the conference adjourned at mid
night a resolution was passed setting forth
the facts and expressing in vigorous terms
tho protest of the citizens.
Tho vestrymen of St. Stephen'3 Episcopal
Church held a special meeting Sunday after
noon and passed the following resolutions:
"Whereo3the location of a site for a conta
gious diseases hospital in a section of tho
District not many block3 away from St.
Stephens Church by the Commissioners of
the District is unwise and calculated to de
ter church people and others from locating
in the neighborhood for the purpose of at
tending the same, thus injuring the future
prosperity and welfare of the parish, and
W hereas the proposed site Is severely con
demned by an almost unanimous public sent
iment that is outspoken on every hand in all
sections of the city since it was declared aa
not only being hurtful to tlfa interests of tha
said section, but dangerous to the other sec
tions of the city in the conveying of diseased
germs in the sewage from sueh a hospital
through the sewer pipes communicated with
private residences in the city before it reaches
the Potomac River. Therefore be it
"Resolved. That the vestry of St. Stephen'!
parish enters its solemn and emphatie protest
against the said site for a contagious disessf
hoapitaL"
Trse document is attested by the partefc seal
and signature of the register. Gen. Hasted.
Several days ago Mr. Gilbert B. Towlea
framed the following resolution, and has se
cured a number of signatures:
"TO THE HONOSABIX COXSUSSIOSSSS OF TH2
Disxeict or Columbia:
"We, tho undersigned owners and inter
ested parties in the northwest section of tru3
city, especially interested in the section known
as Mount Pleasant, Holmead Manor, and Co
lumbia Heights, moat earnestly and sincerely
protest against the building of the contagious
diseases hospital on the lots purchased for
that purpose or in the vicinity of the same."
Mr. Towles has made no special efforts to
obtain signatures, but has simply approached
his friends as he met them on tne street or in,
their offices and requested them to sign.
In entering her protest Mrs. Gen, John A.
Logan says:
"It gives me very great pleasure to sign
any protest against a contagious disease
hospital in any thickly settled part of the city
of WashinKton, not only on account of the
interest of the pople in the immediate neigh
borhood, but because of tha importance of
patients afflicted with contagious diseases
having plenty of eligible space, fresh air, and
sanitary protection, impossible in limited
space and crowded squares."
Mr. Brainard H. Warner, president of tha
boa d of trade, indorsed the protest in thtsa
words:
"The erection of a contagious hospital at
tho locality would not bo dangerous to the
health of the adjacent population under the
safeguards devi3ed by modem seience, but it
will be as detrimental to the progress of tha
city in that locality as tho erection of a
Chinese wall or the establishment of a Iargs
dynamite factory. Sentiment creates values
here, and that sentiment fa strongly against
using the locality referred to for the establish
ment of a permanent: menaeo to health and
comfort, as It Is cenerally considered."
Mr. "W. B, Matthews uses the following lan
guage: "I consider the location of the hos
pital at tho point proposed an outrage npoa
tho people of tho Northwest. Very soon this
portion of the oity will be built tp, but if tho
proposed plan is carried into effect it will he
come a wilderness "
Mr. G. B. Towles in his protest say3:
'T cannot find words strong enough to ex
press my indignation at the gross ontraga
perpetrated by tho Commissioners upon tha
people owning property on Columbia Heights
In the location of a contagious disease hos
pital at the point indicated. I cannot con
ceive of anything so detrimental to the inter
ests of that rapidly growing section where so
much enterprise is just now being manifested
in the building of nandsome and costly resi
dences'." Among the other citizens who signed
the protest aro the following: Messrs.
C. M. Carter, Myron M. Parker. John

In this ago of cheap good3 and over-production
it is not unusual to find so-called bar
gains offered in clothing, but when quality is

their name is synonymous with the finest

to imitate thorn, but without success.
