ShWilliam Wuddle, a Bennett StationBlacksmith, Meets Death in

a Peculiar Manner "When

Cheating two- - old gun barbels

Supposed Not to Be Loaded, They Go Off andTear Away the Top of His Head

With Heavy Shot.

CREATED OTIC GREATEST EXCITEMENT.

One of the Most Curious Cases on the Records at the

the Coroners Office.

William "Wuddle, a blacksmith at Bennettstation, met death under peculiar circum-stances yesterday. While working away atthe lever of his big bellows he was uncon-sciously imparting power to the instrumentof his own destruction He was found deadbeside his glowing forge with his head ter-ribly mangled.

A day or two ago Wuddle purchased aquantity of scrap iron to be used in makingvarious articles. A considerable portion ofthe pile had been worked up byyesterday afternoon. Wuddle was turn-ing over some of the pieces insearch of one suitable for somethinghe wanted to make, when he discovered thedouble barrels of a muzzle-loadin- g shotgun.It was just what he was after and he carriedit over to the forge. "Without examiningthem carefully he stuck the breech end in-

to the fire and began working the bellows.Unconscious of His Dancer.

"Wuddle held the gun barrels in his righthand with the muzzles toward him andwhistled a little tune as he watched thecoals brighten tip sending the air whist-ling up through them. The iron was heat-ing nicely and Wuddle was just aboutread- - to let the bellow's handlefly up and bring his hammerinto play when there was a loud report.With a cry the big blacksmith fell to thefloor where a shower ofcoals, sent flying bythe explosion, settled over him. Bothbarrels had been loaded with powder andheavy shot jnd the intense heat of the forgeset them off.

From the position he held thcin in thecharges struck his forehead, tearing awaythe entire top of his skull. He must havedied instantly for when some people near-b- v

came running in afterhearingthe report,thev found him without life. The smokecurling tip from the red-h- ot gun bar-rel! on that .forge told thestory, though the excited spectators werescarcely able to believe such a thing couldhave happened. After awhile the bodywas carried away and prepared for buriaL

Fct All TonguesThe aliair was soon noised abroad and

was the talk of everybody in the little townof Bennett. A crowd gathered about theblacksmith shop eager to get a lookat the place and exchange views on how such

remarkable accident occurred, nothinglike it had ever been heard of in thatvicinity.

Coroner McDowell was notified of the caselate in the day. This Morning liewill go out to Bennett, cmpanncl

jury and hold an inquestThe affair, however, was to all appearancespurely accidental and a verdict to that effectwill doubtless be rendered.

There is not a parallel to it in all the re-

cords of peculiar cases iu the Coroner'soffice.

C0HFIDENCE BEST0BED.

Thco Doerflinger'a Conduct Did Xot Affectthe Modern B. & Ij. Association.

On account of the many reports of thedeficit of Theo Doerflinger, late treasurerof the Modern Building and Loan Associa-tion, the Association held a largely at-

tended meeting of the stockholders lastevening. Extravagant reports had beencirculated in regard to the financial condi-tion of the association and a few timidmembers were inclined to withdraw. Afterhearing a report of the auditors, hWever,the feeling of doubt gave way and confi-

dence was fully restored. Tlie Board ofDirectors reported that immediately afterthe arrest of Mr. Doerflinger at the suit ofthe Franklin School Board, they procuredthe services of Mr. Bacon, an expert ac-

countant, to audit the books. Mr. Baconstated that he had carefully checked np allitems of cash received and disbursed by Mr.Doerflinger from the beginning of his term

Treasurer in June, 188S, and he hadfound a deficit of $7,272 26. The attorney

the association had stated to the Boardthat the bond to the association would fullycover all loss by reason of this deficit, fromthe fact that part of it occurred under thebond of surety issued prior to May 18, 1891,and the balance between that date and October 5 The bonded surety held by theassociation was equivalent to 10,000 andwould cover all loss.

The Secretary of the association reportedthat there was a surplus in April, 1891, of$577 37, and the net earnings for the lastterm up to October 5 amounted to $3,743 44,making a total of $4,320 81. "With thisamount, it was asserted, the directors areable to pay a dividend at the rate of 7 percent per annum, which would amount toabout $3,200, and still leave a surplus of$1,100. The association holds first mortgageliens to the amount of $97,825 and stocknotes for $3,210, making the total securities

$101,035. aMr. James Doherty was recommended to

the board to fill the vacancy caused by theresignation of Mr. Doerflinger, the Treas-urer. He was unanimously elected.

Immediately after the reports the mem-bers dispersed fully satisfied that the"Modern" was in good condition financiallyand they were loud in their approval of thepromptness displayed by the board in hav-ing the statements made so that they wouldlullv understand the conditions of affairs.

Several shares of new stock were taken,and some of the withdrawals offered early

the evening were canceled. The futureprosperity of the association is assured, asthe members feel satisfied that the slightscorching they have received, will urge allparties to see'that affairs are kept in goodform hereafter.

Preparing for Next Tear's licenseCourt. --

The Xorthside Protective Liquor Associ-ation has arranged tot watch all speak-easi-

and saloons y to see that noliquor is sold. Detective Hesser hascharge of the work, and is determined thatno guilty man shall escape. The Associa-tion is composed of about 80 licenseddealers in Allegheny county who make ita rule that they will obey every feature ofthe law, and who aro determined thatothere shall do likewise. They claim thatthe city officers shutithcir eyes to illegalliquor selling on election day, and in orderto improve the dignity of the professionthey, will take it in their own hands.

In speaking of the work of the associa-tion yesterday, President Schneider said:"Wo are not raakine verv much noise now.but we are working just the same. We didnot fare well with' the last grand jury, butnevertheless wc will continue reportingall persons we find selling liquor ille-gally. We are determined to rid thecity of speak'-eaSie- s. Liquor dealers pay biglicenses, and it is not fair that persons sell-ing illegally should be allowed to competewith them. The city authorities have failedto force out sneak-easie- s. and we are com- -

L polled to make ourowniightBesides that wenave a detective who is collecting evidencefor use in the next License Court. Personswho violate the law, whether or not theybelong to our association, will be shown npin court and an attempt made to keep themfrom getting license again.

A GROUNDLESS SI0KY.

Reported Inhumanity That Did Not StandInvestigation.

A story was circulated yesterday to theeffect that on Thursday last the principal ofthe Thirty-fir- st ward schools had com-pelled all the scholars and teachers inthe school to run up and down the fireescape to test it, and as a result a largenumber of them 'were laid up seriouslyill. A visit was made to the Thirty-fir- st

ward last night by a Dispatchreporter, but the only case of sickness thatcould possibly be charged to this exercisewas that of a girl named LottieMclCee, who has since last Thursday beenunable to attend school orl account of a sorethroat.

According to the young girl's statementthe scholars and teachers were ordered toexercise in making rapid exit from thebuilding to see how quickly it could bedone in case of fire. The little MclCee girlbeing rather stout had become overheatedby the exercise and taking cold it had set-tled in her throat She said she had heardot several other children being similarlyaffected, but could not give their names. Itwas stated also that one of the teachers,Miss Alma Schcck, had fainted from theviolence of the exercise and had to be takenhome in a carriage.

A call was made at Miss Scheck's homelate last night, but no response was receivedto repeated ringing of the doorbell. Avisit to several drug stores and doctors'offices and inquiry among the people failedto discover any substantial basis for thestory.

A Young Man and Two Italian DealersArrested in the Matter.

For some time past A. J. Locke, the to-

bacconist, has been missing a lot of goodsfrom his store at No. 1115 Carson street.There seemed to be no way that any personcould enter the store without a door key.The matter was reported to the police andon Sunday night last Special Officer ThomasRichards was sent to watch the place.About 4 o'clock yesterday morningOfficer Richards noticed a young manenter a shed in the yard, wrapa number of articles in some paper and startaway with them. Just then Officer Rich-ards stepped out from his hiding place, putthe young man under arrest and took himto the Tw.enty-eight- h ward police station,where he gave his name as John McGogan.The package was opened and found-t-o con-tain a lot of tobies, cigars, eta

When questioned by Officer Richards asto who had placed the goods in the shed,McGogan said that Gilbert Locke, Mr.Locke's son, had placed them there duringthe night, and that he would carry them offthe premises preparatory to selling them.He said the goods were taken to twoItalians, Aguilla Cappela, of No. 1006 Lilverty street, and Thomas Speinel, No. 1155Liberty street.

ALLOMCERS UNEASY.

No Man Holding Public Position in.Allegheny FeelB Safe.

A COMMITTEE'S WELL-LAI- D PLANS.

How the Majority Faction in AlleghenyFell Into a Trap.

PRECEDENT IS NO EXCUSE FOR CRIME

Official life in Allegheny is anything butagreeable. No one, however innocent,knows when the mistake-o- f his career willbe flashed before the public as crimes. Thesuffering of the guilty is still more severe.Besides the punishment of an uneasy con-

science the man who knows ho has donewrong now realizes that before the new yearcomes he maybe behind iron bars without asaw.

That the Citizens Reform Association isin business for a purpose and with a deter-mination hacked by cosh and brains is evi-

dent to all. It is the old Committee ofFifty with a new name and a large quantityof the elixir of life injected into its veins.Its history is somewhat obscure, but nonethe less interesting. It came into life justbefore the city entered the second class.The fight that was then made on the gilt-edg- ed

government that was planned and thesuccess witn which big salaries ana nigu-priced officials were thrown overboard is apart of the history of Allegheny. Pol--itics'was revolutionized in one night'smeeting of Select Council, and themen who led the reformers' forcesare the ones who are now workingnight and day to straighten out the city'saffairs. Before, they attended that meetingof Council, they had been in consultationwith the Executive Committee of the Com-mittee of Fifty and the changes they desiredmade were written out on slips of paper.Une or those slips provided tor an amend-ment enlarging the powers of the AuditingCommittee.

The Trap Worked Both Ways.Previous to this time the Committee on

Wooden Buildings and the Auditing Com-mittee were the storing places for men whod"d not march in the ranks of the majority.Messrs. Gilliford and Ilenricks hail 'fre-quently been in those obscure committeesand were thus forced into in-

activity. Last spring they were placedin the same tomb. They were notpopular with the people in powerand were just where it was thoughtthey could do no harm. It was just whatthey wanted. . The Committee of Fifty hadarranged that the Auditing Committeeshould be one of the most important. Itwas planned that they should carry out thepresent investigation, and Messrs. Gillifordand Ilenricks were entrusted with the work.How well thev have succeeded will beknown first when the jury's verdict isgiven.

A part of the programme mapped out atthe meetings last winter was that W. M.Kennedy should be the next Mayor of Alle-gheny. He is one of the leaders of the re-

form movement and a prominent member ofCouncils. In the fights against JamesHunter's leadership he took an active part.He is open in upholding the present in-vestigation, and will make his politicalfight on his record in'Couucils.

Yesterday another bomb was explodedwhen an affidavit was made public in whichlewis noerner testifies tnat during tneMayoralty campaign he was promised theappointment ot Chief of Police by MayorWyman in return for a promise by II. O.Price that the latter would not publishthe fact that he had paid 51,000 to Wymanand Murphy for the privilege of running awheel of fortune. Koerner claimed thatPrice had been pressed to make an affidavitcharging Wyman with having accepted abribe, and that he had intended doing sountil Koerner was promised a position.

The Mayor's Positive Denial.When Mayor "Wyman was asked about

the assertion yesterday he said he had neverreccivea money irom jrnce, ana tnereiorethe affidavit was false. "I have no in-

tention of running away," he continued,with a smile, "and I am ready to meet allcharges. Nothing criminal ha? been provenagainst me, and if it is found that it wasnot lawful for me to retain witness fees Iam able to return them. This whole thingis being done f& political effect, and I amnot afraid of it."

In explaining the charges about the wit-

ness fees yesterday, Mayor's Clerk jHun-neshag-

said that Mayors Wyman andPearson had simply followed precedent "Ithas been customary," he continued, "forthe Mayor to collect witness fees whether acase has been tried or withdrawn, becauseall witnesses summoned are entitled to SO

cents pay. Of course, a great many wit-nesses do not call for their money and itbecomes clear gain for the Mayor" Withregard to the erasures, they were onlymade on the blotter. Another record iskept with pen and ink. Erasureswere made when fines were remit-ted at the request of some prom-inent party or when the Mayor'sjudgment induced him to do so. I am notdefending the practice, because I believe itis hardly proper, out it is done in almostevery city, and could not be consideredcriminal."

Sorry for His Friends.Chairman Henricks, Of the

Committee, was very conservative in hisstatements yesterday. He said he was sorrythat his position reanired him to unearththing that would work against the interestsof his friends.' He thoueht that followingprecedent was no excuse for wrongdoing. Theauditor's report, he said, showed a conditionof things in the Mayor's office that is a dis-

grace to the city, and because it had beenpractised in the past was no reason for allow-ing it to continue in the futute. "Withregard to the affidavits of Koerner andBraun," he continued, "their charges arebeing investigated and will only be

to the Auditing Committee 'inthey are proven without doubt. A supple-mental report will be made to the

next Friday evening, and if what wehave in hand now turns out as we expectmore startling revelations will be madethen than have yet been mentioned. Theentire Auditing Committee will meet nextMonday night and some plan of action forthe punishment of guilty parties will be de-

termined on. This work is not being donefor political effect, but, of course, It mayhave its influence on polities'."

COSTUMES FOB WEDDINGS.

The Gowns and Trappings Fashon Dlc- -

tates for Brides and Maids.Bride's dresses for evening weddings at

home, says Harper" Bazar, differ from thoseworn nt hurch weddings in the daytime inbeing cut lower about the neck and havingelbow sleeves. A half-hig-h cortage, withMarie Antoinette sleeves, is a favoritemodel for evening wedding dresses of therichest white satin. A notable model hasthe fronts of the half-hig-h corsage lappedat the point, and draped across the bust infull Greek folds that support a bertha ofthe new Marquise point-lac- e with cordeddesigns on fine close meshes. The back ofthe bodice has no middle seam, and is roundat the waist line, where a girdle of orangeblossoms crosses it and conceals the joiningof the train, then meets in front and fallsin two long sprays almost to tlie foot. Thesleeves are puffed to the elbow, and fin-

ished there with a very deep flounceofthe lace caught on the inner arm withorange blossoms. The skirt (without afoundation skirt) has a train 90 inohes long,deeply faced with satin, finished with adouble balayeuse of lace, headed by apinked flounce of satin; there are fourbreadths in the train; a gored front breadthand a wide gored breadth on each side com-

plete the skirt. A lace flounce is arranged'in three deep festoons on the front andsides, headed by a vine of orange blos-soms.

White dresses for the maid of honor andbridesmaids are preferred to colored gownsfor evening weddings. The richest silksare chosen for the gown of the maid ofhonor, while bridemaids wear chiffon or netdresses. A white Muscovite silk gewn forthe most favored maid has a low-neck-

pointed corsage with a silver-beade- d bodice,and a chiffon bertha. Long transparentsleeves are of chiffon, and Uiere are slightchiffon paniers.

LONGEST W0ED OK EEC0HD.

It Is the Name of an Innocent Little. Ham-

let Over in Wales.Wide Awake.

All the world has split its sides overMark Twain's happy description of the un-

pronounceable nouns, a yard or two long,which he discovered on going into Germany.But there exist words which outrun these bymany a syllable. The seat of the Marquisof Anglesey is the picturesque island bear-fh- e

same name, which lies just off theWelsh coast, and which is connected by abridge with the main land. Here theMarquis has a charming mansion, whilenestled away in the little village of some800 inhabitants, nearby, one finds the oldchurch as well as the county postoflice.Kow the name of the hamlet is purelyWelch; abounding in consonants and minusa single connecting hyphen. I found it re-

quired a' good deal of practice to pronounceit without a gasp.

It runs thus:"Llanfairpwllewyngvllgertropwllgerchw-ympwltgogerpwllsaintdeisilliogogofgoch!- "

As the postofnee is a somewhat importantone in this neighborhood, handling a quan-tity of mail, it became necessary to shortenthe above address, which was then reducedto:

"Llanfairpwligwyngyll."

A "WAT TO CATCH FB0G3.

How a Frenchman Fonnd the FishermenCatching tho Hoppers.

Wide Awake.In looking over a book of travels in

France, written more than a hundred yearsago, I came across an interesting bit aboutthe way of catching frogs for market. Theauthor mentions the fact that frogs weresold by the hundred in the markets, thatthey were classed as fish, and that only thehind quarters were eaten. But to come tothe main point, he says:

To catch the frogs, the fisherman puts oneof them into a glass vessel which he dipsinto a brook. On which the creature, find-ing itself in so strange a situation, confinedin the midst of water in a transparent ma-chine, or I may say invisible prison, beginsto croak most melodiously, and by hiscroaking makes great multitudes of otherfrogs come to him on 'every side, as it torescue their companion; when the frog-fish- er

valiantly seizes on his prey.

Flenty of Sapphires.The annual report that the sapphire

mines of Ceylon are failing is started forthe purpose of keeping up the price of thegems, as there are probably enough of thesebeautiful blue stones on the Island of Cey-lon alone to supply the world for the next20 years, to saynothing of the rich minesof Burmah, and those of the Marajah ofCashmere, which arc said to be the mostextensive in the world.

A New Industry.If a man has a small tract of land and

wants to derive the largest possible returnfrom it, he should, cultivate roses. Flower-growin-g

generally does not yield very sub-

stantial profits, but the demand for roses isso steady that a good profit can be reliedupon. Of course, glass houses involve theoutlay of capital, but, even without these,good money may be made.

Eufus E. Shapley Talks of HisClient and His Libel Snit.

HE THREATENS IMPRISONMENT

And tays Some People of ProminenceHast Go Behind the Bars.

X0 CRIMINAL SDIT AGAINST KERR

Ittifus E. Shapley, the prominent Phila-delphia attorney, came up from Beaverlost evening after spending the night inconsultation with Senator Quay relative tothe libel suits both civil and criminal to bebrought against Chairman Kerr and.certainPennsylvania newspapers.

Senator Quay wired Mr. Shapley to cometo Beaver, and as stated in The Dispatch,he went there early yesterday morning.

The Beaver Senator thereupon retainedhim to represent and prosecute the suitsagainst Chairman Kerr and such news-papers as Attorney Shapley, after athorough examination of published matterwhich these mediums used, as he Judgedlibelous, and upon which the Senator couldrecover damages.

Civil suits have been broneht againstChairman Kerr for sending broadcast thefncsimile certificates alleged to havebeen given by Bardsley to Senator Quay,but as yet no criminal proceedings havebeen instituted.

"Will you bringcriminal suits?" asked thereporter.

"That I don't know," Mr. Shapley an-

swered, "but my mission to Philadelphiais to collect all evidence pertaining

to the matter, and to act according to myjudgment."

Confident of Snccess."Have yon a good case, Mr. Shapley?""Have we? The most positive grounds

any one could wish. In my mind no troublewill be experienced in recovering. Asto the Pittsburg Poii's editorial comment,and other libelous publications, there canbe no doubt that its owners will bemade suffer according to the law, if our.sideis fairly dealt with, and, you know, the lawis the thing."

"How abont the other newspapersthroughout the State which published thecenincates and accompanying matter.'

"Well, they will be all looked over care-fully, and the ones which scored SenatorQuay the worst- - without cause and to hispersonal detriment will be dealt with to theJullest extent of the law. This is no bluffor political ruse on the part of the Senator,"Mr. Shapley went on. "Decidedly not. Inever saw a more determined man in mylife to push the cases to an end. And whynot? As I said before, he has the most opengrounds to institute suit upon."

"It was reported that a number of conn-tr- y

papers would be made suffer, amongthem two Meadville papers?"

"i'es, I know that the Senator madeaffidavit to the falsity of the reports in theMeadville papers, but as to bringing suitagainst every little sheet which copied thereports of the big dailies would be the workof a lifetime."

"What do you think of the report thatthe New- York World, which" publishedeverything, is preparing to bring a branchestablishment to Pennsylvania and insistthat Quay sue it along with the other homepapers?"

"I had. not heard of that, but I hardlythink the World contemplates doing so."

Knew of the World's Offer."You know, Mr. Shapley, that the World

once offered to pay the expenses of bring-ing a suit against it, if Senator Quay wishedto, in answer to the voluminous chargesmade against him two years ago?"

"Yes; I remember that.""Do you intend bringing action against

the World?""I can't tell yet, for I have had no time

to look it np."Jso'criminal charges have been brought

against Chairman Kerr, but a thorough in-

vestigation will be made by the counsellor,and it it is thought the evidence is sufficienthe will be made answer charges instituted.

Just as the affable attorney was steppingaboard his train East, he said: "I will notbe interested in the SVestern or Pittsburgcases further than to be advised from timeto time, but I shall attend to the Easternend of the matter, and you can say formethat I am determined that some people willhave to go to jail, and some very prominentonsat that."

Mr. Shapley was accompanied to the trainby his father-in-la- James S. McCord, thePresident of the Ileal Estate Savings Bankof Pittsburg.
