I cam puny- H was an inference, ■ and not a
I-art that' the Pan-Electric company had

Ifd'oa mi reasons; first, that Young came

[out of July, and know him to be secretary
ImJ treasurer of tho Tan Electric'; and,
I .econd, because withes* bad on May 25 th
I received a letter from Dr. Rogers request-
I ing sail he broughtus a atoekholder of that
Immpaay. Colliding these facts together,
I vitoess took it for granted that the Piui-
I giKtrie made the application. It was siin-
| |jv >a inference, and no name hud been
1 mkti'oned.
Witness had treated Dr. Itogsn'a letter as
| personal, and he kuew lingers had no au-
I ihirity to make the-application, and that
stteh an application must come from the
oni-iilent of the company. Therefore the
letter had remained unanswered, and, as a
personal paper, had never been filed. In
July Van Bentbnyson had presented his ap
plication for suit, basing it on a law which
h« stated had been passed at the lastsesaion
„t Oongrets. Witness had heard of the
iav before that, and bad bad some search
side, but could not find the act. . The ap-
, however, worn so well written and

asked his opinion of it. Witness had

block of stocks as a gift," Of course,
there nad -been no gift about it
As to the question ofjproprioty, there was
no more impropriety in his position.chan
in the case of gentiemen holding railroad
stock and setting ia Congress, or Congress
men going over to the Supreme Court to
practice for money. It was legitimate bus
iness, and witness nevor dreamed of any
legislation being Asked. His only regret
was that it “had not pannod out better."”
If any disputes hnd coine up in Congress
connected with the oompnny, ho should not
have voted on it. He had recommended
the ltogerses to Cox and Hewitt, becanse he
regarded them as very competent men in
their line. He had talked with architect
Clark about Harris lingers' application for
appointment as House electrician, and
about putting in Sogers’ telephone, but on
consultation with Mr. Edmunds, Clark hod
refused to make the appointment.
The chairman inquired it witness regarded
his stook ns a gift.
He replied -in the negative. Five or six
persons organized tho company and made
the assessments, the first move being to
give a note for SI,UOO, which was followed
bv assessments of 5(1 or 1U0 per cent each.
Ho did not regard the inventions as baring
any marketable value. - The company was
to establish their utility and put them on
the market.
Chairman Boyle—“Did you contemplate
using you# official position for advantage ot
enterprise?"
Witness— “Not at ail. If I had been a
E ilvate citizen I could have done much
ettcr than when in office." He added
that lie had no-moro idea of using official
influence than of jumping into the l'oto-
ninc river with a mill rock around his neck.
"They h“d never tried to boom the busi
ness and scatter the sto$k on the country;
at least, he never heard of it.
Mr. Hall inquired for witness's under
standing of tbe reason for referring tho
applications to tho Interior Dcportmcnt-
He replied that It wad simply for infor
mation and such suggestions os they might
see proper to-make in tho premises. It
was advisory, of coarse.
In conrhe of cross examination by llun-
ney, Kanney asked Why witness' feeling that
tbo party hnd a right to be hoard, that they
should not bo deprived of that right, and
the duty devolving on solicitor-general had
not referred them to the solicitor-general.
Witness answered that he did not want
to be concerned in the matter at all. After
he had examined it; ho bad concluded that
it would-be better for him not to suggest
where applicants should go. Certainly
the gentleman lookod mad when he
had refused to touoh tho matter.
Continuing, he said Yoong did not open
his mouth after introducing the gsntluman.
It was due to all sides that be abuilld state
the fact that after He bad declined to take
any action in'the matter, a number of
} prominentlegaT gentlemen.had written to
lira, insisting > that, notwithstanding his
connection with the l’an-Electric. it was his
duty to have brought suit.
llanney objected to the statement. He
did not caro to go into whet people had
written.
Witness remarked that he was simply try
ing to.show his position at the time,
Kanney wished to know if witness bad
lelttbntii would be improper to toll appli
cants that lui: was disabled, and .ip refer
thorn to the solicitor-general.
s‘It wonld not have been, improper,” re
sponded witness, “but it was a question of
delicacy With me."
. lUnnsy—“Don't yon think you were a
little, over sensitive?"
.Witnoss—“No, sir; with me it visa a case
lika that of Lorenzo Dow's man, 'You will
be: damned if you do, and be damned if you
don't.tv r (Laughter, I
itamtey Inquired if it had ocerfrred to
witness as a reason for not telliDg Goode of
the receipt of application,, that if he told
him. of his action, Goode might feel bonnd
to reject it; while if he said nothing Goode
would act on it os an original application to
grant the request.
Witness responded firmly in the negative.
Oates asked witness, “Since you have been
Attorney-General, Lave you done any Act or
thing, diroctly or indirectly, to enhance the
interests of the Pan-Electric Company?”
Witness—“1 cannot call to mind any
thought, act, or word of mine that is calcu
lated to increase tbe value of that stook in
anyway. I have not been at a meeting,
and I have had no conference with gentle
men connected with it."

Weaver bqys w-erp arrested and hurried

they had taken from one of tho deputies.
They woro finally overpowered by the mob,
and’ disarmed. Ropes were placed aliont
their neoks and preparations were mode to
hang them to rafters; but the trump of ap

fifteen to twenty shots into each man, liter
ally shooting them to pieces; anil mounting
their horses they rode rapidly away. The

FLORIDA .lONKS FOUND.
Business •ml Not Love Keep* Him From
J Servin* HU Country.
CsgoocMf Anril 16.—Mr. James McCarthy
of Jacksonville, Fla., arrived here to-day
from Detroit, Mich., -where lie h;«l been
special iv detailed. br *e\c>Ml of Senator
Jones’ ptrg >n4 t»iouf.ri. na »uil in the |»rcs£
of that vctinii^ to investigate the reason for
tho Senator s strange oc iooa, and to nsoer-
tnin tho cause lor his prolonged absence
from .his post of dnty ia Washington.
-“Some fou|r weeks ago,” said Mr, Mc
Carty til's evening, “tbo prominent papers
in Florida reqinisted .the Governor to de-
dare Senator Jones's seat in the' Untied
States Senate vacant, iint thia could not bo
done. Tho Senator’s personal friends keenly
felt his absence, and they have repeatedly
requested him to return, but to no avail.
The first report which I followed upon ar
riving in Detroit was to the effect that Sen-
ator Jones was demented and could not
bear the mental strain which bis presence in
the Seuato would necessitate. But I found
that idea to be entirely wrong, for be was
in perfect health and spirits. Dr. Richards,
a prominent phveicinn in Detroit, and a
personal friend of the Senator's, said that
be only needed rest and that his ipind was
not in tho least affected. There was also no
truth in the report of h{s drinking to excess,
a largo number oi the members of tbe first
society there having assured me that they
had never seen him under the influence of
liquor. I round that one reason for his re
maining there was because be was .largely
interested in a new manufacturirfft enter
prise, now being gotten up by W. G.
Thompson, the ex-mayor; James Caplis,
ex-prosecuting attorney; D. J. Campasi,
and McMillan Brothers, in which several
millions uf dollars ore beiuginvesied.
“Now. us to that story about bis devotion
to Miss Palms. It was slatted by n well
known sporting man named John Dev-aarf,
who had'been forced to close bis pool-rooms
by Mr. Thompson when he was Mayor last
year, and who had sworn vengcanco on that
official. Senator Jones was invited to De
troit by Thompson, and, naturally, was in
troduced to tho members of tbe first society
by him., Among those with whom he camo
.in oontact was the father of Miss Palms, at
whose bouse he attended n social gathering
with other noted people, forming simply a
passing acquaintance wit n the young woman.
Devasb then got even with Thompson, at
tbe expense of bis friend, tbe Senator, by
circulating these stories about hjui. As for
Ealliugin lave with Miss Palms and perse
cuting and snuojmg her by his pbrsiatent
efforts to meet her, as reported, there is not
one particle of truth in.the story, and about
the report that lie was after the young lady
for hot money, why, the Senator know* as
well ns I do, that the young womiin's father
sudcioilict hare separated, and that theold
gentleman's reputed millions are involved
in tbo courts, and tho litigation will prob
ably not he settled tilt long alter Jones'
doa'h.”
“I learned through a cousin that the
health of Miss Palms, bns been seriously
impaired by tho publicity giveu her name
throughout the country in connection with
that of Senator Jones. However, she has
never thought of leaving the city, as re-
porttd, on account of bits alleged pcraeCu-
lious. When I asked Senator Jones to ex
plain hia prolonged stay ho said: ‘When I
came to Detroit in the first place, it wa
seek recuperation and rest, and my stay has
been prolonged heyonfmy expectations, or
I might add, personal Inclinations, ilct
the .local presa, subsequently augmented by
-the papers of; my own State and'others,
have taken U upon themselves to' publish
certain stories relating to my personal wel
fare. I donlt .propose'To bo placed Inn
ridiculous position before my many friends
in Detroit and elsewhere by their, declara
tion*. . 1 have been giving,my personal at
tention to matter* relating to my Senatorial
duties, a* they required. Other Senators
have absented themselves for a greater per
iod of time, of which there has beon scarcely
a mention made, and I don't see why I
shonld he made snoh a conspicuous excep
tion. My health has about returned, nna I
shall very soon go back to Washington if
the members of the presa are eatlsned to
give up their attack.'"

this morning the. village of East Loe wsa

pouring down the streets, the. water bring
from four to six feet deep, - and bringing
with it trees, portions of houses, barUs,
fehees, wagons, and every- kind of . movable
property. People fled to the slope- of tho
valley, along which the torrent was pour

about like chip* on th* river. The
flood passed East Leo and went on down the
road, destroying gardens, lawns and fences,

larger houses, though the damage done will
amount to many thousands of dollars.
As soon as possible people went np the

houses along its way waatboronghlyaccom-
