M. to When at 2 o'clock the shooting ced at the target Columbia, and the first National Schuetzenbund of the United States was formally opened. Judge Henry Gildersleeve, at 2:30 ». a. fired the first shot at the honor target Columbia, and President W. F. Wents, of the National Schuetzenbund, fired the opening shot at the honor target Germania. The afternoon was beautiful. The sur- geon in charge of the hospital tent was kept fairly busy during the day, but none of the accidents were of a very serious nature, with the exception of a mishap to John Nold, one of the warners at the targets, who received a nasty bullet wound from an erratic rifieman, which cut a gash along his left temple over the ear, nar- rowly missing the temporal artery. The shooting was not a very representa- tive quality, as the cracks were rather averse to shooting after the fatigue of the long parade march and the festivities attendant upon the opening banquet. G. ‘W. Plaisted of the Seattle Rifle Club made the fine score of 72 out of a possible 75 at the man target. The first festival silver cup for 300 points wes won by B. Neuman from New York. At the Columbia honor target H. Cordtes, Hoboken Independent R. C.,made the first ticket, while W. C. Collins, Greenville (N. J.) R. C., made the best score—56. At the Germania honor target, Collins was the only man to score, making two bullseyes. W. Rosenbaum made the first red flag and G. Plaisted the last of the day. The California delegation did not shoot to-day, preferring to rest. George Helm expressed the gratification of the Cali- fornians. the reception accorded them. Among the new arrivals were Captain Farrow of the Morgantown (W. Va.) dele- gation, who was one of the American rifle team that carried all before it in Great Britain. Captain Farrow is going to make a great bid for Schuetzen Kcenig at this festival. He won the title in 1878 and again in 1888. The Philadelphia contin- gent, sixty strong, were on the grounds to-day.

The Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Sl in Deep Water. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., July .—For the fifth consecutive time since the present receivership - the Philadelphia and Read- ing Railroad to-day defaulted upon the in- terest due on the general mortgage bonds, but paid all prior liens, the only other de- fault being upon the principal of $19,000 worth of Schuylkill Navigation bonds. Those of the general mortgage bond- holders who deposited their securities under the Earl-Olcott plan for reorganiza- tion received from the Finance Company of Pennsylvania the interest due to-day upon the July coupons, but those who did not accept the terms of the plan until after the time limit expired, in January last, were not paid. The amount of money disbursed for gen- eral mortgage interest by the finance com- pany to-day, in accordance with the reor- ganization plan, was close to $200,000, the totalj amount required being $250,000, but there were a great many holders out of the eity who failed to present their certificates up to the close of the business day. 'he company also paid interesy on what is known as equitable certificates issued to parties who advanced the money to pay the eneral mortgage coupon. . At the Rea iE: office it was Jearned that but one bondholder presented his coupon for payment, and was informed Treas- urer-Church that the receivers issued instructions not to pay the interest, and he disappearsd without a murmur. The com- pany first defaulted upon these bonds Jan- uary 1, 1893, and no interest has been paid since that date. i UNCLE SAMS PRISON.

It is Alleged to Have Been In- stigated by the Asso- ciated Press. MAIN ISSUE IGNORED. Dana Charged the Rival of the United Press With Gross Mis~ representation, NEW YORK, N. Y, July 1.—Since the collapse of the libel suit brought by Frank B. Noyes of Washington, against Charles A. Dana and the denial by the court of the complainant’s petition that the editor be removed to Washington for trial some of the facts upon which the alleged libel was based have begun to come to light. Mr. Dana, who had been com- pelled to postpone his' trip abroad while awaiting Judge Brown's already famous decision, sailed for Europe on the St. Louis last Wednesday. Walter P. Phillips, the secretary ‘and generdl manager of The United Press, | talked freely to a reporter yesterday re- garding the history of the Noyes suit and consented to furnish for puhlication some of the facts which tended to support the Sun's characterization of Mr. Noyes as ‘‘dishonest.” <2 “The idea of the suit brought against Mr. Dana,” said Mr. Phillips, “by the Associated Press people—for it. was brought at their instance and they put Mr. Noyes forward simply to carry out their purpose—was to divert attention from the main point in the Bun’s now historical article of February 22. The Chicago Associated Press people had every reason to avoid and evade the main charge, which was as follows: “The management of the Associated Pressexhibited to the clients of The United Press stafements of .the Associated Press earnings and expenditures, showing always a balance on the right side. We have be- fore us a cable dispatch sent by the man- agement to James Gordon Bennett on No- vember 1, 1893: nited Press now losing over quarter million dollars per year. On other hand Associated Press making money.’ “‘Hundreds of newspapers wili recall their experience during- the period we are reviewing and will confirm this record of the falsehood they were told and of which they were the victims. At no time has there been any intermission. The Evening Post, the Brooklyn Eagle and other papers hereabouts taking the Associated Press ser- vice printed on the 14th inst. a report of theannual meeting in Chicago of the West- ern Associated Press, in which the follow- ing passage occurred: “‘The report of the board of directorsand general manager has been given to each stockholder. Itshowed in detall the finan- cial condition of the association, with the receipts and expenditures for the last sev- enteen months, up to December 31, 1894, and that the income was more than suf- ficient to cover the outlay.’ “We have the full copy of the report of the board of directors of the Associated Press which was handed to every member { present at the annual meeting in question, and we take from that part of it which is furnished by the auditing committee, con- sisting of J. W. Richards of the Indian- apolis News and 8. F. Gunnison of the Brooklyn Eagle, the following figures: ““The tabulated statement shows a net Joss on the business of $11,961 64 in the month preceding the date om which the above cable dispatch was sent to Mr. Ben- nett; a net loss on the business during the next month, November, of §23,157 14; in December of $27,186 32; in January of $27,- 286 05, ete. “The new management has succeeded up to date in administering the affairs of the Western Associated Press#0 as to lose over half a million dollars and place it upon a basis of permanent, hopeless and incurable insolvency.’* “Is the Sun’s statement true that the Chicago organization has lost half a mil- lion dollars since the warfare began ?”’ “It has lost much more than that, but I will let an expert answer that question by giving you a copy of his letter to me. It is from F. G.Mason, the auditor of The United Press.- Mr. Mason was for many years connected with the bookkeeping de- partment of the New York Associated Press and the Western Associated Press. If his figures are at fault it is that they a too low. In my judgment the loss on the part of the Chicago Associated Press indi- cated in his letter falls short by $100,000 of the amount actually lost. The data for his statement are all derived from the printed annual reports of the Western As- sociated Press and the Chicago Associated Press.”’ This is the letter referred to by Mr. Phil- lips: “New Yorg, June 25, 1895. “Walter P. Phillips Esq.—DEAR Sir: On July 1, 1891, the surplus of the Western Associated Press in cash, accounts receiv- able and bills receivable amounted to about $150,000, out of which there was paid to members in July, 1891, a dividend amount- ing to about $34,000, leaving $116,000 to the credit of profit and loss. “On January 1, 1893, the date on which the Illinois organization was to take over the business of the Western Associated Press of Michigin, the surplus was a little over $80,000, and’it is generally understood that by August 1, 1893, when the new or-! ganization formally opened its books,there was practically nothing left to the Western Associated Press. The last dividend to the stockhclders of the Western Associated Press was that of July, 1891. Thus, not only was the surplus of $116,000'dissipated, but the stockholders failed to receive any returns from the operations of their busi- ness, which produced for them under the management of the old joint executive committee an aggregate of $330,000, and which onder the conditions existing pre- vious to 1890-91 may fairly be said to have been worth $40,000 a year, or for the four years ending June 30, 1895, $160,000. “If Iam correctly informed the assess- ments on afternoon papers taking the early morning service were continued after the report was stopped. in February, 1893, and the expenses which those asessments were levied to cover were discontinued, but they are still levied and collected as a part of the present charges. They amounted to about $4000 a year before that period. ¥From | outher. February, 1893, to June, 1895, they may be estimated at $8000, mum.y"'w!“ -| the charter members of the Western Asso- the stockholders of the Associated Press were increased 50 per ceirt in September, 1893, The assessments on the Western Associated Press members amounted to about $230,000 per annum. Hence it is clear that aside from the aforementioned loss they have had to pay up to this time nearly $150,000 under this 30 per cent increase, 3 ‘A year later, or August 22,1894, the call for voluntary 'contributions was issued. The second annual report of the Associated Press (page 213) states that eighty-seven stockholders of the Associated Press had responded to the call and were paying additional assessments amounting to $113,- 903 22 per annum. I think it is fair to assume that at least forty-five of the eighty-seven stockholders so contributing are stockholders of the Western Asso- ciated press, and that they will have paid during the ten months ending June 30, 1895, at least $50,000 under this call. “If these levies and the appropriations of the Western Associrted Press surplus had sufficed to provide for the needs of the service under the new dispensation, there would be still a radical difference in the results attained by the two managements, old and new, and evidenced by a loss to the stockholders of the Western Associated Press of Michigan of nearly $48¢,000 in four ears. ‘“‘But the statements of the operations of the Associated Press, up to January 1, 1895 (page 12), show a loss of $209,014 82, or, including the salary of the general counsel for 1894, $2500 (page 37), $211,514 82. ““Thus disregarding the probable losses on operation for the six montbs ending June 30, 1895, and ignoring the doubtful character of certain assets shown on the | balance sheets of January 1 last, we have a total of nearly $695,000 lost under the pres- ent management of the Western organiza- tion, probably $600,000 of it being lost to ciated Pre: “Following is a recapifulation of the figures given: ‘“‘Surplus of Western Associated Press July, 1891, dissipated by August, 1893, $116,000. “Loss of earnings July 1, 1891, to June 30, 1895, four years at $40,000, $160,000. “Barly morning report assessment re- tained February, 1893, to June 30, 1895, $8000. “Increase of 30 per cent.on Western Associated press members paying $238,000 per annum September, 1893, to Juhe, 1895, $149,233. “Estimated amount of increased assess- ment on Western Associated Press mem- ‘bers nnder the call of August 22, 1894, Sep- temver, 1894, to June, 1895, $50,000. “Deficit shown January 1, 1895, $211,- 514 82. “Total, $694,747 82, “Faithfully yours, F. G. Masox. ““After a conference in New York with the Chicago Associated Press people Noyes went back to Washington and told Reriah Wilkins of the Post that he could prove to him from the minutes of the conference that The United Press was prepared to abandon all its friends and go out of busi- ness and leave him to the mercies of the Chicago Associated Press. He telegraphed to New York for a copy of the minutes, to be sent to Washington in proof, and he also asked Mr. Wi s to inquire of me if I had any objection to his having a copy of the minutes, to which I replied that I had none and that he would be furnished ith a copy of them by The United Press as soon as they were printed, and that they were then in the hands of the printer. “In one way and another Mr. Noyes suc- ceeded in convincing Mr. Wilkins that The United Press was going out of business just as he succeeded months before in making the Baltimore papers believe that their only hopes of getting a service after the end of the week was to go to the Chi- cago organization with him.” “I have heard that there was some sort of a pledge signed by a lot of people and that Wilkins was one of those who signed it. Isthat true?” “Yes, that is true. There was no man connected with our organization in whom we reposed greater confidence than we did in Beriah Wilkins, and our confidence was very well expressed in the words concern- ing him printed in the Sun only a few days before he went over to the enemy, when Mr. Dana said: ‘Mr. Wilkins is not only one of the best and wisest, but one of the truest and best of the whole newspaper fraternity in this country.” The paper that Mr. Wilkins signed read as follows: “ “We pledge ourselves and ourassociates to leave nothing undone to promote the interests of The TUnited Press, and strengthen its position in the several places in which we respectively conduct business, believing as we do that it iato the interests of every one of us to protect to the utmost of our power the integrity of the riews ser- vice.’ “The men who signed this were: Charles A. Dana, New York Sun; Whitelaw Reid, New York Tribune; Beriah Wilkins, Wash- ington Post: L. Clark Davis, Philadelphia Ledger; William M. Singerly, Philadel- ‘phia Record; Barclay H.

Carbolic Acid Given a Sick Woman Who Asked for Magnesia. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 1.—Mrs. Cath- erine Dooley, 27 years old, died at her home, 222 Eckford street, Brooklyn, at noon yesterday. Coroner Creamer was notified, as her death resulted from the carelessness of her mother-in-law, Mrs. Margaret Grabam. Mrs. Dooley was taken ill with cramps, and asked Mrs, Graham for some maj nesia. Mrs. Graham, so it is saitl, in her hurry, picked up a bottle of carbolic acid and gave her daughter-in-law a dose of it before she discovered her mistake.

FLED FROM HER HOME. But Not Till She Was All Dressed Up in Her Broth- er’s Clothes. WALEED CHICAGO'S STREETS, Hardships Result in Illness —Her Identity Discovered at the Hospltal. WILMINGTON, Dern, July 1.—Miss Hettie Dickey, the pretty young blonde who returned to her father’s house in Stan- ton yesterday, is cured of all desire to be a man. She left her home in that little vil- lage, five miles from here, three months ago, dressed in man’s garb. . Miss Dickey explained to a reporter to- night that she had for years wished she were a man. The impulse to see the world asa man grew upon her to such an extent that she finally decided to ‘leave home. She secreted a suit of her brother’s clothes in the woodshed and soon after noen on March 24 she slipped quietly into the shed and put on the masculine attire. Then she walked calmly out of the yard in front of her heme to the road leading to Kiamensi station on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road. It was then about 1:30 o’clock in the afternoon. She followed the tracks for three miles without meeting any one, Then two men came in sight, and for fear of detection she turned aside intoa field and made her way to Neéwark, where she took the 3 o’clock train for Baltimore. By this time her parents were searching the country for her. in the immediate vi- cinity of their home. Reaching Balti- more, she stopped . for an hour. Then she bought a ticket to Chicago and left on the 7 o’clock train over the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. All the money she had upon leaving home was $20. -She reached Chicago on the night of March 25 with $348 in the pocketof her trousers. Her original intention was to go to Denver or San Francisco. In both of these: places she has relatives. Now comes the most interesting part of her story. After her arrival in the Windy City, she wasat a loss to know where to lay her head. She was afraid togoto a lodging-house, so she concluded to walk the streets rather than run the risk of being detected. For two nights she tramped the sidewalks before finding a place of shelter. Atlast she found a big lumber-yard near the lake, and there she spent five nights among the piles of lum- ber. What little food she ate durine this time she purchased at cheap restaurants. In all of these cases she seated herself at tables alongside of men. For three nights she occupied a cornerina boxcar, stand- ing on a side track of the Illinois Central Railroad. One of the employes discovered her and demanded an explanation of her presence. She maintained her fortitude and succeeded in escaping arrest. B8he went on in this way for two weeks, until, overcome by exhaustion, she fell and was removed to Cook County Hospi- tal. The incessant tramping and the clumsiness of her brother’s shoes caused severe injuries to her feet. Upon removal of the shoes at the hospital flesh came -off with them. A diagnosis of her case was made by the physician in charge. While making an examination of her lungs he discovered her sex. She told him her name w: Hettie Dickerson, but subsequently ad- mitted that it was Hettie Dickey and that her home was in Stanton, Del. After listening to her narrative the doctor noti- fied her parents, On April 24, one month from the time of her disappearance, she wrote to her mother describing lrer sufferings and asking for- giveness. “If they had turned me away from the hospital,”” she wrote, “I don’t know what would become of me, for I surely could not live long dressed asa man. They would not have taken me in had not the doctor discovered that I wds a woman. The doctor offered me clothes that had been worn by dead people.” In three weeks from the time she was ad- mitted to the hospital she had recovered sufficiently to walk about. There was some doubts in the doctor's mind as to her sanity and she was ordered to appear in court for examination. This resulted in her transfer to the Dun- ning Insane Asylum, where she remained until last Tuesday. Then, on an order from her parents, she was released. Dur- ing her incarceration &t the asylum a trunk filled with clothes arrived from ‘ her home and upon her release she started for Stanton. She reached home yesterday, and with the exception of a slight feebleness she was none the worse for her experience. ‘When questioned regarding their daugh- ter's behavior Mr. and Mrs. Dickey could give no explanation. For many vears Miss Dickey has taken an active part in temperance work. She was & devout Christian and a firm believer in the doctrine of the Presbyterian church until a year ago, when she suddenly manifested a belief in the teachings of the Seventh-day Advent- ists, who were then holding meetings at Newark. So intense has her admiration for them become that arguments with her parents were frequent. For this reason it was thought that she had mysteriously departed in order to join them. She carried with her on her escapade a small hand-satchel, which ¢ontained two suits of underwear, a comb and brush, two handkerchiefs, one shirt, two collars and a novel. It is not strange that she was not de- tected and arrested before she reached €hi- cago. The light suit she wore fitteq her slender form perfectly, and the slouch hat that covered her head tended to strengthen her masculine appearance, . m—— A MOTHER'S IEB“SL” 4Aor.

NEW YORK, N. Y., July 1.—For some time the custom-house authorities have been investigating an allegation that there has been serious undervaluation of woolen manufactures imported from England by New York importing houses. It it a question which is of the most importance to the woolen industry of this country, and which also affects the general "trade seriously, besides meaning the gain or loss of a considerable amount of money to the United Btates Government in customs duties. The conditions created by the change in the tariff have created new values and the old experts now in the employ of the cus- tom-house find that the problems arising from this are more difficult to solve than. were the difficulties that arose under the old tariff Jaws. Under the present routine of appraisal of the goods as invoiced it is not likely that this new system of under- valuation would be detected. ‘Within the past two weeks orders have been taken in this city by one of New York’'s largest German intporting houses for 10,000 pieces of Bradford worsted cloth and suitings at prices which, on their . face, are lower than those now prevailing in the Bradford district. For example, this firm has taken orders to deliver twelve cases of all-worsted Clay diagonals at 75 cents a_yard, the bills to be discounted 7 per cent for payment in four months from January, 1895.° As the sales will net the firm in question not over 63 cents per yard, whereas the costof such goods in Bradford to-day is 1s 11d, which, with duty paid, makes the cost 69 cents net cash, there would be a loss of 1 cent a yard in the business. The firm in question, it is expected, will hold that their representative. contracted for these goods several. months ago, when the prices ruled about 114 pence per yard less than now. If this claim is recognized by the customs authorities, the goods can be brought into the country under a 40 per cent instead of a 50 per cent rate, but the law plainly holds that the values in the invoice must be such as existat the port of shipment and at the time of ship- ment. The amount of duty in the controversy is firent. as the imports aggregate $450,000, and the United States éovernment will get $45,000 more than the imrorters would ?-y under thair valuation, if it i decided hat the goods must pay duty on the basis of values as fixed by present values. ——— REBEL DEFEATS.

' REVENGE OF A CONVICT, He Shoots Down Two - of the Witnesses Who Appeared Against Him. THE CRIME QUICKLY AVENGED; Friends of the Desperado’s Victims Kill. Him and a Woman Companion. PADUCAH, Ky., July 1.—News was rezeived here to-day of a bloody quadm; tragedy in a remote section of Trigg Cov last Friday night. John Rhodes and Cha¥- Hammond were shot to death by Abithal Colston, an ex-convict, and the next morn- ing the bodies of Colston and Mollie Smith were found in the road riddled with buck- shot. It seems that Colston, who was but re- cently released from the Frankfort peni- tentiary, where he had been sent for horse- stealing, had ever since his release been gunning for all who had been witnesses against him. Among the witnesses were five brothers named Rhodes, and they were the first sought out by the convict. Meeting John Rhodes at Rhodes Landing, he shot him down, instantly killing him. He then staried for the other Rhodes boys, and not far from where he had shot John Rhodes he saw Chat Hammond giv- ing Abe Rbodes a drink of water from a spring.: This so exasperatea Colston that instead of killing Rhodes as he had intended, he killed Ham- mond. He then left Rhodes, who was unarmed, and went to where Molly Smith lived. They spent part of the nightina drunken carousal, and shortly after day- light both were found dead in the road. ‘Whether they were shot by citizens or by the Rhodes boys or their friends, may never be known.
