Bostox, Sept, 15.—Messrs. Walter Potter and W. D. Lovell of the firm of Potter, Lovell & Co, were arrested today on warrants charging them with embezzlement and larceny. The complaint is made by Mr. Chas. Richardson of Philadelphia, a member of the firm of C. Rich- ardson & Sons, a director in the National Bank of the Republic in Philadelphia and President of the Edge Hill Furnace Company, and it alleges the embezzlement and larceny of 870.000 worth of bonds of the Edge Hill Fur- mace Company. ‘The transaction between the parties on which the complaint is based is the one on which & temporary injunction against the di of the onde was recently granted. In his petition for that injunction Mr. Richard- son ets forth that his firm had been in the habit of placing their notes with Potter, Lovell & Co. and the Potter- Lovell Company for negotiation and that to cover advances from the concerns when possi- bly no notes were on hand the firm had given as security $70,000 worth of 6 por cent bonds of the —_— Hill Furnace Com- pany’ These bonds, he says, are in the possession of E. G. & E. Wallach, Roches- ter, N.H., and therefore that firm is made s pate to the civil suit. He then alleges the raudulent conversion of the bonds of Potter, Lovell & Co. to their own use, and asks an ac- counti: The criminal complaint is drawn along 22 same lines and contains about the same allegations. ee A REPUBLICAN WYOMING.

Mr. Cooper Asks More Questions About GEN, RAUM EXPLAINS THE ORGANIZATION OF ‘THE LOCAL COMPANY—ONLY OXE PENSION AT- TORNEY INTERESTED IX IT—NO FAvORITION SHOWN UNDER THE COMPLETED FILES ORDER. ‘When the special House committee investi- gating the charges against Commissioner Raum met this morning Mr. Sawyer recalled Mr. Cooper and asked hima number of question Sre- specting his judgment of the propriety and ef- fect of general orders made by the commis- sioner of pensions to expedite the adjudication of completed cases, Mr, Cooper declared that the questions were unfair, and when he was pressed to return an absolute “yes” or “no,” he refused to allow Mr. Sawyer to dictate what his answers should Bo, and proceeded to reply that the orders were not proper when they hed the effect, as shown in this case, to benefit claimants with attorneys at the expense of claimants without attorneys and when made for an improper consideration. The commissioner asked to have a number of chiefs of divisions called to show whether or not there had been any favoritism shown. Judge Wilson also seconded the request, say- ing that he wanted to close Mr. Cooper's mouth and by the weight of evidence to prevent him from making a clamor and agsailing Mr, Lemon on the floor of the House, where he had the i to say almost anything. ir. Cooper said that he could not be misnn- derstood, He had not charged that favoritism had been shown as the result of misconduct of officials, but as the result of the completed files order. After further ment the committee de- cided to hear the testimony. THE REFRIGERATING COMPANY AGAIN. Mr. Cooper asked the committee whether there was a sub:company of the Universal Re- frigerator Company in this District. The commissioner objected to going into the matter, but at the request of the chairman pro- ceeded to answer Mr. Cooper to the effect that steps had been taken looking to the formation of asub-company; that stock had been sub- scribed; that Bradley Tanner, who sat at his desk, was secretary of the company; that Tan- ner had subscribed for one share of stock, se as to be able to act as an incorporator, but that no money had been paid in; that the organiza- tion was, in fact, inchoate as yet. Tanner was absolutely the only pension office employe interested in the company. The parent pein and witness (who owned nine- tenths of the District right) were to receive peat for the franchise in $500,000 of stock, ut the arrangement had not yet been ratified by the parent company. The’ interposition of . Cooper's resolution had stopped the nego- tiations; witness has withdrawn from the field and stopped selling state rights until he could, by the erection of a practical working plant, show the value of the patent, THE MERITS OF THE INVENTION. Mr. Cooper said that if the commissioner proposed to exploit the value of the invention, he wanted to provo that it was a fraud. He en- deavored to prove that suit had been brought against the patentee in Tennessee for swin- dling, but the commissioner denied any knowl- edge of that and the committee declined to go into that matter, The commissioner further stated that Mr. Tanner was not expected to pay for his share, and that the same was true of the other gentle- men who had organized the sub-company. A few shares of stock had been given them to enlist the use of their names, was customary to the organization of such companies. At this point Mr. Cooper again endeavored toread aletter from H. B. Chapin relative to the prosecution of the patentee, Smith, for recovery of money fraudulently obtained. The commissioner strongly objected to this and said that Mr. Cooper's obvious intention was not to enlighten t comu@tee, but to injure him. (Mr. Raum) and Mr. Smith. He should be amore decent man than to do it, = if he persisted the committee should stop im, ‘The chairman called for order and said that the testimony was clearly irrelevant, as it was not connected with Commissioner Raum, Mr. Cooper replied that he produced th letter as a basis for subpmnaing Mr. Chapin; but the committee refused to go into the tes- timony, NO FAVORITISM SHOWN, Chief Clerk Fisher of the Pension Office was next called to the stand, and testified that no favoritism had been shown to any attorneys 1p selecting cases for the completed files, F. H, Allen, chief of the southern division, testified that no favoritism had been shown to amy attorney, and he would not have obeyed an order to show favoritism. As far as his division was concerned he had for years pursued the course of acting first upon completed cases and had practice ly in operation a system of completed les which worked well. Warner Wiihite, chief of the eastern division, gave substantially similar testimony. R.A. Durnan, chief of the western division, was recalled by Mr. Cooper and questioned relative to the interview between them at the Pension Office last winter, and corroborated what Mr. Cooper had said about the congres- sional calls he nad put in, MR. LEWIS OFFERS A RESOLUTION. Mr. Lewis next introduced the following resolution: Whereas Gen. Raum has this day admitted before this committee that Bradley ‘Tanner is the owner of stock in the Columbia Refrigerator Company, for the parpose of intro- ducing and establishing in the District of Colambia the patent of the Universal Refrig- erator Company, which is synonymous wih the Columbia ‘Refrigerator Company; and whereas the said Brauley Tanner has been promoted in the Pension Office by the suid Gen. Raum; therefore be it Resolved, That it is proper and competent for this committee to hear such testimony as will tend to prove the character oi this enterprise and the value of the stock theroof, By 4 party vote the committee refused to adopt this resolution. eee pee SPICE IN THE SENATE, Exchange of Courtesies Between Messrs. Frye and Plumb, The proposition of Mr. Frye in the Senate today to take up the bridge bills was attended by a slightly bitter exchange of courtesies between that Senator and Mr. Plumb. The latter said that, while the Senator from Maine was “off fishing” he (Mr. Plumb) was at work, but that now the Senator had come back with his face all browned from his contact with nature aud was insisting that nothing should be done at all except according to his notion. Mr. Frye resented Mr. Plumb’s remark, and said that in ten months he had been absent exactly fourteen days, and had not missed a roll call s'nce the 2d of June. The Senator has been absent just fonrteen times as much as I have been was Mr. Plumb’s next remark, “I have not been absent,” said Mr. Frye, “from as many roll calls as the Senator from Kansas,” Mr. Plamb—Iam not going to get intoa squabble with the Senator from Maine, Mr. Frre—Then why did the Senator from Kansas make the remark he did? Mr. Plumb—Because it was literally true. ‘Tho presiding officer (Mr. Ingalls) inter- posed with the remark that suck coll juies were liable to degenerate into personal alter- cations, ——— Bridge Bills Passed in the Senate.

The speech is modified somewhat, but is still lively encugh in its de- nunciation of Quay and the Senate to satisfy the most ardent admirer of bitter invective. A republican who is in a position to judge of the temper of his associates about as well as any one inthe House ssid to a Stan reporter today that he thought a majority of the party felt that Mr. Kennedy had given the Senate only what it deserved; that the Senators early in session permitted remarks to be made in that chamber reflecting on the Honse, and that they might bo satisfied to take their own medioine in stronger doses. The resolution of apology to the Senate in- troduced by Mr. Enloe to to give way to the tariff, will probably be called up by him tomorrow, if the Speaker will give him recognition. It it is called up Mr. Kennedy says he will have something to say on the subject.

Aspecial from tl city to the New York World says: Congreasman Boutelle has re- turned from Maine and has been receiving the congratulations of his follow members on the result of the election. He has also received a good amonnt of questioning concerning the re- cent editorials in the Bangor Whig, which have been copied all over the coantry. The World correspondent has had a long talk with him in regard to those editorials, Representative Boutelle said: “Tam not generally accused of speaking am- biguously fale posting: around Agger and in the prevent instance I can only say that any one who can honestly believe that he sees any attack on Mr. Biaine in those editorials must either be possessed of a disordered imagina- tion or be lamentably ignorant of the English language as well as any comprehensive ideu of Maine politics. The gravamen of the was dirocted solely against the Maine Senators, and there is nobody in Maine today who cou- strues them otherwise or in any way misunder- stands the meaning aud intent of the Wiag's editorials, “Nobody in Maine misunderstood the facts to which I referred in my editorials in the votes in the recent election were Maine rept hiding behind Mr. Blaine. . ceagere mae tule of bossism H i it A uy i i i 1 i} if Y, and withdrawn | tha’ the Final Acceptance of the Vessel. Mr. Irving M. Scott, general manager of the Union Iron Works, San Francisco, reached the city this morning from the Pacific coast, bav- ‘ing come to arrange for the final acceptance by the government of the new cruiser San Fran- cisco, which has jnst been completed by bis firm. He is very happy over the outcome of her recent trial and he says thas he thinks, for “home-made” ship the craft did pretty well. She will be resdy for turning over to the government October 1. The report of the trial board has not yet been received, being de- layed on account of certain verifications that have to be made. It will probably reach the department this week. Mr. Scott says that the story started from San Francisco to the effect that his firm will divide the premium money, about $145,000, a the men who built the ship was invented solely for the pur- pose of creat & feeling of discontent among the workmen and is untrue. “We are not building ships for fun,” said Mr. Scott. “Iti true that we gave our engineers and fremen a bonus for every quarter knot the ship ran in excess of 19, but this is what we did on the oc- casion of the Charleston's run.” Mr. Scott wiil probably remain here until all of the arrangements for the acceptance of the vessel have been completed. GEORGETOWN. Rev. Peter Lewis Sext Dows ror Twentt Daxa.—Rev. Peter Lewis, colored. held services in the police station on High street yesterday. When “Amen” was said he could not the heavy iron door was closed agai The charge inst Was vagrancy and on t charge he was arraigned before Judge Miller this morning. Officer Cottier testitied in ageneral way to the minister's manuer of living and told of one of his visi poor country people in market. the Lord done for you, sister?” he asked an aged colored woman. “Can't you giv cents toward building the church?” got but two cents,” was the woman's reply. and the minister took that. If Lewis had been aregular minister the collection would have been ail right, but when the officer told how he spent his collections in the saloons the case ar- sumed @ more serious aspect. “He had two beer bottles in his grip.” said the officer, “and ‘one of them smelled like it had contained very common whisky.” ‘Now, Mr. Officer,” said Lawyer Hewlett, “don't you know that the time you saw Lewis intoxicated was sacrament Sunday after church?” “I don’t know whether it was or not.” was the officer's response. Coun- sel then attempted to prove that the poor peo- ple kept the ministers up in everything. in- cluding chickens. Policeman Passeno gave similar evidence to that of Officer Cottler. The Rev. Lewis gave the court to understand that he was something greater than an ordinary minister; that he was anelder. He told how he preached at various churches and how he married a couple at Cropley’s brick yard last week. “What about the bottles?” asked the judge. Lewis answered by saying he got wet the other night walking through the country “and I purchased some common whisky,” he said, ‘‘and put it on some camphor and bathed my legs with it.” “Inside or outside?” asked the judge. “Outside, of course; I never drink any whisky.” “It would be a terrible blow to the church tosend the minister to the work house,” remarked his counsel. Judge Miller told Lewis about his former experience with him and gave him twenty days on the farm in default of bonds. Tatep To Hane Hensetr 1s a Potice Cui. — Georgianna Balson, one of Georgetown's col- ored females, was arrested soon after 12 o'clock Saturday night and locked up at the station on a charge of “disorderly.” When piaced behind the bars she came to the conclusion that she would be better off dead than living, and making a noose as best she could of her belt she suspended herself by the neck from the cross bars of the cell door. In that condition she was found by Station heeper Elliott. who prevented her from taking her own life. When the station keeper left her she was quiet and promised to behave herself, but Jater in the morning she was found hanging a second time. She did not injure herseif. This morning she was tried in the Police Court and the case was dismissed.

The Weather and the Crops. The weather crop bulletin of the signal office says: The daily average temperature for the week ending September 13 was above the aver- age in all districts east of the Mississippi river and in the west gulf states. The rainfall for the week was in excess, except in the upper lake region and thence westward over the upper Mississippi and Missouri valleys, where the rainfall for the week has varied from one- tenth to eight-tenths ofan inch. In New York, Ohio and Indiana the rainfall has been from three to five inches; in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee, Florida and western ortions of the Carolinas from one and one- aif to two inches; along the middle and south Atlantic coast it was generally below one inch; in the gulf states it has been from one to two inches; and in portions of central Texas from three to five inches. Frosts occurred in the extreme northwest and in Nebraska, Iowa. Kansas, Colorado and northern Lilinois, with temperature from three degrees to six degrees lower than has hereto- fore been observed during the first ten days in September. The frost in South Dakota was destructive to immature corn and root crops. Seeding is progressing under favorable con- ditions in Illinois, Excessive rains have de- jayed the picking of cotton in Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and Alabama, but conditions have meratiy been favorable for the smail crops, eavy rains have also been unfavorable to cotton in the Curolinas, Potatoes are reported as rotting extensively in New England. Dam- aging rains have occured in north and central New York. In Pennsyl-ania tobacco cutting continues, and the outlook for quantity and quality are even more favorabie than pre- viously reported; the corn crop will be abund- aut, and all seeding is progressing favorably. In New Jersey the week has been tavorabie for maturing and seeding; an excellent yield of corn is reported, and potatoes will average the bestin years, In Oregon we g P maggen beg pro- gressing, but rain is needed for grass and lowing. * The fall in temperature vill extend over the districts on the Atlantic coast during the early part of the woek, with fair weather, followed by warmer weather toward the endof the week. The precipitation for the week will probably be w the average in tho Missis- sippi valley and all districts to the eastward, wit favorable conditions for harvesting fall crope. OPPOSING THE sITE.

Secretary Windom left the Fifth Avenue Hotel last evening for Williamstown, Mass, to join his family. He received but few callers at the hotel during the day and in the afternoon he announced to representatives of the press the plan he bad devised forthe relief of the stringency inthe money market, Asa result of bis conference with the bank presidents and financiers at the subtreasury Satarday he de- cided to receive proposals for the sale of 4s te the amount of $16,000,000, the proposals to be received at the Treasury Department in Wash- ington at noon Wednesday, These bonds the Secretary will purchase if # reasonable price is asked for them. Atthe same time Secretary Windom will offer to prepay for three-fourths of s sear the interest on between €50,000,000 and $60,000,000 of 6 per cent bonds. The an- Rouncement of these offers will come from Washington over the Secretary's signetare Wednesday morning, where it will be offictally formulated, Secretary Windom said that it was not usual for statements of the above kind to be made before they emanated officially from Was! ton. but owing to the anxiety of eo maapaetee business community to know what was going to be done by the Treasury Department im the Premises, he thought it best to aunounce be- forehand, although it was Sunday, bis inten- 0. Windom said that he had mamed 16,000.- 000 a8 the amount of bonds to be purchased, because, asthe entire available surplus te now 52.000.000, the Treasury has outstanding offers for bonds and interest amounting to $30,000,- 000, and the amount of 4 per cents now asked for will require li be required for the pre- payment of the interest on tue 6 per cente, will Consume the entire available surplus, Mr. Windom further said there was no in his mind that the action taken will be en- tirely satisfactory for the relief, for the holders of the bonds arc dixposed to co-operate with the Treasury. He secs no great danger of serions financial trouble and it will not be the tnult of the Treasury Department if it comes. The offer for 4 per cents. he says, is exceptional, aud is not to be regarded as the policy of the admiu- istration, for with this purchase, if it shail be made, the Treasury goes out of the market for the pun of that classof bonds and will hereafter apply the current surplus to the pur- chase of the 4), per cents, 5; iz of what had been done to relieve e famine, Secretary Windom said: “From the foundation of the government until the present time no such radical measures have ever been adopted as have been adopted during the last thirty days; and let me state further that as a result £54,000.000 have been paid out for the purchase of bondsand the pay- ment of interest within twenty-three days, and during that time #19,000.000 have been paid out in pensions, making $53,000,000 paid out for these three items alone within twenty-three days, The receipts in the same time have been vover $20,000,000, and may have been €25,000,000, Iwas looking over the record at the custom houve, and I think that the receipts have not been much more than €1,000,000.a day at this port, and they are three-fourths of the whole.” POSTPONING TEE DAY FOR WITHDRAWING G00DR, In view of the anxiety in business circles, because of the proposition to put the new tariff law into effect on the Ist of October, Axsistaut Secretary Nettleton of the Treasury Depart- ment, after consultations with members of finance-and ways aud means committees, gave } out a statement Saturday evening as follows: ~The information obtained renders it as sure asauy future legislative event can be foreseen that the date for withdrawing goods will be fixed at February 1, 1891. Indeed, owing to the well-nigh universal request from the basi- hess community that the latter date be fixed, and the general feeling of Apprebension, groundless or otherwise, connected with the earher date, there appears to be but little op- position to the change.” NO DECISION IN THE GUY CASE. It is Said the Lieutenant Will Receive e Light Sentence. Owing to Col Robert's continued sickness ‘the Guy case remains exactly where it was this time last week. It seems to be understood at the District Building that Lieut. Guy will get of with a slight punishment. It is positive that he will not be dismissed. What bis pun- ishment will be, however, has not yet been de- termined. The vacant sergeancy, mentioned heretofore in Tue Stax remains, but itas hardly possible that Guy will be reduced. The published statement to the effect that Commissioner Douglass said that the entire force would be affected by the Guy case is em- phatically denied by Mr. Douginss, in comver- — With.a Svan reporter today Mr, Douglass said: “I never made such a statement to anybody since the conclusion of the Guy trial.
