OPENING SCENES. President Wilt called the convention to order at half-past ten o'clock. At that hour the members of the convention were rcated at the long tablesin the college hall. ‘The members of the senior class of the college were present, and dangled thelr legs from the high stools at the business-like looking desks arranged along one side of the room. It was thought that the deliberations of the wise men and Womon assembled might be a source of !i- provement to the young gentlemen who are striv— ing to straighten ‘out the crooked lines in their chirography, solve the mysterles of double-entry, and gain a practical knowledge of the rules of bus ines. The ‘surroundings were particular appropriate to the occasion. ‘The wail Was hung with specimens of ornamental penman- ship; tall desks Drought to mind counting-rooms: railed counters and arched wickets suggested unpisasane ideas of protested notes; and batteries of black, muzzled Ink bottles and unserrled ranks of penholders gave indication of the vast prepara- tions for the war 1n which much white apet is to be demolished. A plano in one end of the hall and Yarlous works Of art and other ornamental objects on the walls indicated that the grim deity of debit and credit 1s not averse to indulging In a Mirtation with the muses. There were a number of visitors present this morning, and among them Mr. Birney, Of the public school board.

Packard, Sadler and Mayhew was appointed to take the matter in charge in behalf of the con- yention and solicit subscriptions. Professor Packard, president of Packard's Business College, and author of a number of standard works on bookkeeping, arithmetic and kindred topics, de- livered an address. ‘The address, which was prac- tical and interesting, was enlivened with much wit and humor. ‘The address was discussed at considerable length by the members, * THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

One of the long tables in the business college 1s covered with specimens of work with the pen, some of which are marvellous, These specimens, include school and college diplomas, pen and tnk counterfeits of engravings, certificates of stock and other documents tn which 1t {s customary to find elegant and delicate penmanship. The most remarkable specimon exhibited 1s a counterfeit of a five dollar nattonal bank note incolo's, None but an expert could distinguish 1t_from the genu- ine. This 1s the work of Prot. D. T. Ames, of New York, who has gained some distinction as’ an ex- ert witness in handwriting, having figured tn the lorey letter case, the Cadet Whittaker trial and other important public trials. ‘This convention 13 open to the presidents and teachers of all the business colleges, of which there are about 100 fn the country. Mr. Packard in his talk this morning referred to the late President Gartleld’s address at the Spen- cerlan business coliege commencement as being the noblest utterance ever made in behalf of bust- ness education. He gave them, he sald,the classics of business training. He spoke of the refining In- fluence of lady students In colleges, tribute to the ‘profession of teaching, the work of their lives. > ‘Terrible Fate of a Girl. A SICKENING TRAGEDY IN THB NEW JERSEY WOODS. The death of a young girl named Clarissa Bounds in Atlantic City Sunday night was the means of bringing to light an awful story of inhu- manity and crime in the Jersey pineries, ten miles west of Atlantic C.ty, She wasa girl of good ap- Pearance but wild habits, and joined John nomas,a white man, and Joseph Kelsey, a col- ored man, in their ‘camp in the woods, where ‘they were ning charcoal. AC the close of a drunken debatich of several days, in which the girl participated, the white man, the girl and the negro crawled close toa smouldering coal pit, the blasts from the ocean being severe, and went to sleap in the embers. At dead of night the girl aroused the camp with loud shrieks. She was enveloped in flames. When the fire was extinguished her body was burned to acrisp from head to foot, but, strange to say, she had Inhaled no flames,’ It is believed by many that the men had poured coal oll on the girl and fired her clothing. Life still existing they assisted her to a hole in the ground near by, where she was kept without food or medical attendance for a day and two nights. Finally the overseer of the poor for the township, tt is came and re- moved her to another hole in the ground, where she was again kept with her roasted frame subjected to the damp ground an@cold air without treatment. Then she was brought to the house at Smith’s Landing, where she was refused admittance. She prayed for death, but was dragged back to the woods and again left all night in a roofess cabin without care of any kind. sub. sequently, throw n into a wagon of straw, she was brought to Atlantic City, where she expired Sun- day night, having been taken charge of by the city authorities. ‘The awful story of her suffering was given to the mayor, who took the girl's dying confession. He said the stench from her poor tor- tured frame was sickening, yet she would make no complaint against the men, who are, however, in the hands of the authorities. Arigid investiga- tion will be made at once. Practicing at Wimbledon. 3 SHOOTING OF THE AMERICAN TEAM YESTERDAY. The American team cers at the 1,000 yara Tange ‘at ‘Wimbledon, England, yesterday. ‘The wind was rather strong, unst and trickey. Out of 8 possible 85, C. W. Hinman and F. J. Rab- beth each scored 20; J. M. Pollard scored 24; W. L. Cash, 8 and M. Brill, 17. Two serles of prizes will be instituted, which will_be open only to the Americans. The’ executive committee of the Na- tional Rifle association are arranging so as to allow the American team the use of thelong ranges Wo themselves at certain times of the day in order to facilitate their practice. The Americans yes- terday were somewhat hampered at the longer ranges by being obliged to face south, instead of as at Creedmoor, and by the humid atmosphere. Correspondents present at the practice remark that the strangers showed skill in adapting them- selves ina few shots to these excaptionable condl- tons, and their shoott it the targets,where they used British rifles, is d as very credit- apie. The Daity News, Gee a prace tice of the Americans, says the visitors did poorly at frst, but when they had once the range of the bull’s-eye they clung to tt with much tenacity, On the British side the follo' scores may be noticed: Lowe, at 800 yards, made #4 and Grat- wicke 81 At 900 yards McKenell made 32, and Bates at ‘the 1,000 yards made 81.

MORE VOUCHERS OF BARTLETT, ROBBINS & CO. Before the Hill Investigating committee this morning Mr. Coleman presented scme additional vouchers tn the Bartlett, Robbins & Co. case. In explanation of his ‘offer he said that the vouchers showed that Bartlett, Hayward & Co. had pre- pared the plans and specifications for heating ap- Paratus for the custom-houses at St. Louls and Chicago, for which they were pald $4,$09 for each building. The ground plans were prepared by the supervising architect. The firm was afterwards awarded contracts for supplying the heating ap- paratus at Chicago for $91,000, and at St. Louis for $146,000._In this way, sald Mr. Coleman, they be- came the superintendents of their own work. Francis L Morrison, a steamfitter of this city, was then examined, and sald that he had worked for Bartlett, Hayward & Co. inthe Treasury butld- ing in this City during 1899-81, ‘The workinen re- ceived $2 per day and the helpers $1.25. Signed no pay-rolis. DEFENSE OF BARTLETT, ROBINS & CO. The prosecution announced that they closed 80 far as the Bartlett, Robbins & Co. case was con- cerned, and Mr. Thomas began the presentation of the case for the defense by calling E.

The restoration of the order of Postmaster Gen- eral Key relative to the use of the mails by the lottery compantes applies only to the postmasters at New York and New Orleans. The delivery of Money orders and registered letters goes on as usual in other places, and the business has ex- perienced no great check. The query ratsed by the counsel of the company, Mr. C, W. Moulton, as to whether money orders could be delivered to the agent of the company in thts clty was deter- mined by the Postmaster General some time be- fore It was brought to his attention by Col. Moul- ton. MONEY ORDERS IN THIS CITY. The agent of the lottery company inthis city made his appearance bright and early at the city Post oMlce yesterday morning in order to get his money orders cashed before any question should bo raised under the recent decision of the Post- master General. Alarge number had accumu- lated, and many of them had been cashed, when Mr. Conger, the city postmaster, ordered that the further payment should ve suspended until he coult sacertain whether the recent decision applied to his office. He was informed al the Post Office department that It did not, and later in the day the balance of the money orders Was pald to the agent of the company. | The question of Colonel Moulton’s has practic«lly Deen answered, and the delivery of registered let- ters and the cashing of money orders has gone on AS usuil. It is thought that the Postmaster Gen- eral will extend the order of bis predecessor to all places where the lottery company has agents. TUE LOTTERY BUSINESS IN WASHINGTON. While the lozal laws here do not allow the sale of tekets in the District, yet the agent can send this way a large business 1s don however, a large number of tickets sold here every month inspite of the police survelltance. and a short UUme ago the agent here received $30,000 to be distributed to lucky inolders of tickets. A GENERAL ORDER PROBABLE. The Postmaster General has gone to New York and will not return unttl the latter part of the week. Itis not probable that any further action will be taken in the lottery matter until his re- turn. Itis Mkely that the Postmaster General's reply to the query of Col. Moulton will take the form of a general order to all postinasters through out the country forbidding them to deliver regis- tered letters or cash money orders directed to the accredited agents of M. A. Dauphin. Tits will be a virtual extension of Judge Key's order so as to apply to all post offices. In nearly every place M. A. Dauphin has a power of attorney on file in the Post cifice authorizing some person to receive money orders inado in nls favor. Such 1s the case in this city. Asgeneral order applying to all post oftces will have a depressing influence upon the lottery business. ‘The representatives of the company Intend to test the legality of such an order, should it be 1s- sued, in the courts, The Reading Company’s New Collie- ries, WILKESBARRR, Pa.
