BLAINE’S SUIT.
Facts on Which the Defers* Rests
Repeated, and Anawerato the In-
terroaatoies Declared Nec-
essary—Mo Action.
ImaviroLis, September IS.—In the
TWKod States District Coart this afternoon
the attorney for Shoemaker filed a hill of
Aaeorery in the Blaine-vSnulari eoiu The
Ml begins by citing the (rotOf Blaine
Bringing suit against tbeSr%;»«.sl and re*
pasting the original complaint in the sub
She Sentinel's answer and tbs accompany-
lag; interrogatories and the reply of Blaine’s
■■Barney. The bill then states that after
the interrogatories Shoemaker's at-
torseys. on the 6:h of September, moved
Bis court for a rule ag* n-t 1' » :i»* to an-
awnr the same within a s. etified lime to be
Bated by the court, which motion was ar-
caisd Heptember 13tli and overruled. The
kill goes on to say that in order maintain
the defeme of justification pleaded
Bp Shoemaker ft will be necei*
saiy. and material for the orators
loklXw and prove that Blaine had illicit
rotations with and seduced the person
irkoea he afterwards married, the resuitof
■sad intimacy being the birth of a child in
■hoot three months after said marriage.
TBs bill goes or. to say that the orators are
informed and believe that the marriage of
James G. Blaine and Harriet Btanwood
•ocurred on or about March
SMB, 1851. in Pittsburg; that the marriage
vras clandestinely arr«nged. M-cietly per
ionaed and hastily accomplished; that no
Jfaense was issued by any aothority for
each marriage, none being required by the
laws of Pennsylvania at that time; that no
vsblic official record was kept or made,
for the same reason; that one
Bryan, tbe minister who officiated at the
marriage, had been dead for several years,
and that if any private memoranda or re-
aoid o' the marriage was ever made, the
asms is lost or destroyed. The bill then
state* that for some time before the date of
aid marriage, Blaine waj a professor at an
institution of learning at PriJletsburg, Ky.,
that Miss Btanwood was an instructress
in a female icboul at tbe same place, and
that they thereby became acquainted;
Sbat both were unmarried, and that Biaine
addressed Miss Btanwood as a suitor;
that he gained her confidence, and that
iliisit relations ensued; that a short time
before said marriage Jacob Btanwood
m brother or unde of Harriet, or some
person or persons unknown to the orators,
waited on Blaine and charged him with
being the causo of Miss Btanwood’s condi
tion, and threatened bint with personal
wioience unless he married her: that
Blaine made no denial or tbe
•barges, and in consequence of being
threatened agreed to marry lu r, and tn it
•ne or more persons were present at the
interview between Blaine and the relative,
bat who thesepersons were is unknown to
Bw orators. The hill then stnw * that a ter
$fce marriage Mrs. Blaine went to Augusta,
He., where tbe child was born about tbe
tMh of June, 1851. and that said child was
always recognized and acknowledged by
Blaii.e as his son. 'The orators further say
they have a good and valid defense as
stated in their plea of justification; that
the facta stated in the answer are true, and
that the same ran he fully established by
th« answer of Blaine to the interrogatories
heretofore propounded, all the circum-
Manses being fully known to him, and
that a full and complete discovery
of said facts from and by Blaine is necea-
•ary to the orators in their defense, in aid
of such other testimony as may be procur
able. Unless this i- dot e the < rator scan
wot so fully set out and completely show
and prove the facts necessary to their
defense. The orators therefore pray that
a hall and cornj lete discovery be made by
Blaine in relation to the facts heretofore
stated and to that end that he be sum-
3a(mod to answer tho tame under oath.
The hill closes by asking that a writ
of subpoena • bo issued out of
ohancery for Blaine, and that he
be oidcred to answer particularly the In
terrogatories; that proceedings be stayed
until such tune as Blaine may answer:
that in case Blaino fails to answer said bill
or fully and truly to answer tbe interroga
tories. further proceedings be perpetually
stayed or restrained. The bill was not
filed until :> o’clock and tbe ooort ad
journed without taking action.
BLAINE TO STRIKE BACK.
Me Elaborate Explanation of the Mulli

Mr. Blaine is not expected in New York

BUSINESS IN THE SOUTH.
The Outlook Favorable for an Active
• ell and Winter Trade.
Baltimore September 18.—The Jfana-
faeturcr'i Record will publish to-morrow
special reports from all parts of the South
as to the prospect for fall and winter busi
ness, showing that the outlook is very fa
vorable for au active trade. Tbe cotton
crop will be less than was expected a
month ago, owing to the drouth, but this
ia largely counterbalanced by larger crops
of corn, wheat and friths than for some
yrars. Owing to the enlarged production
of food stuff*, the South will
not have to purchase so largely
of wheat, corn and provisions
from the West as heretofore, the difference
in thlfets compared with last year, being
fully 150.000,000. The late stringency In
the money maret, according to many of
these reports, prevented planters from bor
rowing as freely as usual in the spring and
forced them to close economy, so that the
cotton crop has been raised at a much
lower cost than in other years, and planters
are less in debt than at tbe corresponding
time last year. In manufacturing and
mining enterprises rapid progress is being
made.
The Manipulation of Bees.
Philadelphia, September 17.—At the
State fair this afternoon tbe bee tent was
the scene of » remarkable entertainment
Professor Arthur Todd, of the Wissahickon
Apiary, gave an exhibition of the method
in which bees are maoipu'ated. Quite un
protected by bead net or gloves, he opened
an old box hive full of bees, took out each
comb separately and transferred it to a
new hive. He careiully sliced off the cov
erings of the cells, and placing the comb
in his extractor, emptied them of their
sweet contents. He sought among the
erowded colony for the queen bee, and
haviDg caught her, showed her to his au
dience, who were safely standing outside
bis gauze tent. He then deposited her in
a little wire cage made expressly for her,
introduced her to her friends, and when she
had issued her commands for their attend
ance at her new home be put her into the
handsomely furnished hive which he had
prepared for her reception. Mr. Todd
hand'ed the little insects as if he were ig
norant of the fact that they all carried u
very ugly weapon, and he appeared to be
on terms of affection with them all. They
crawled over tbe bald part of bis head,
they swarmed on bis hands and arm 4 , and
they got caught in his beard, but they
seemed to think it was all play, and heap
peered to enjoy the fun. The astonished
visitors looked on with mute admiration.
In the gauze tent with Mr. Todd were Mrs.
Louisa Thomas, of Tacony, one of the
earliest practical bee-keepers in this coun
try; Mrs. F*»ote. of New Haven; Dr.
Townsend, president of tbe Philadelphia
Bee Keepers’ Association; John be hall-
cross, of Frankford. and John Pyewell, an
enthusiastic bee keeper from Bridgeport,
Penn.

How a Prohibitory Law Is Evaded
Washington, Sepumber 16.—How the
stringent anti-liquor laws of Iowa are
evaded is shown by a request which has
come to the Treasury Department from
tbe International Distilling Company, of
Des Moines, for tbe release of a Jot of
whisky now detained by the collector of
customs at Suspension Bridge. Ihe liquor
it sent from Des Moiuea into Canada, and
then without being taken from tbe cars Is
imported into New York via Suspension
Bridge. By this method tbe owners avoid
tbe forfeiture features < f the Iowa laws,
and also get tbe benefit of leakage while
(be liquor is In transit. Tbe collector at
Suspension Bridge has not informed tbe
Treasury Department why the whisky in
question haa been bold, and until be is
heard from no action in the matter will be
taken.

Forme Wae Illegal.
N*w York, September 19.—Hen. Win.
Walter Phelps taken the responsibility ol
giving to the public the following private
letter, addressed to him nearly two weeks
ago:
“Auauita, September 6, 1884.—My Dear
Ur. thelps: I have your favor of the 4tb,
advising me that the continuous invention
sud wide circulation of evil reports render
it advisable in your judgment not to wait
the slow process of the law, but to speak
directly to the public in my own vindica
tion. In this opinion many others on whose
judgment I rely concur. I shrink
instinctively from the suggestion, although
I feel sore X con’d strengthen the confi
dence of all who are friendly to me by
bringing to view tbe simple thread of truth
which is concealed in this endless tlssus of
falsehood. You can imagine how inex
pressibly painful it mnst bp to discuss
• ne’s domestic life iu the press, although I
Ihink with von that under tbe circum-
siancet I could count upon the generosity
of tbe public te justify a statement whicn
otherwise might seem objectionable. I can
In any event safely commit tbe facts to
yon for personal communication to
those who have taken so delicate
and so considerate an interest In my affairs.
The leisure hours of to-day, when oar
campaign is ended and we wait only for
the election, gives me the opportunity for
this prompt reply, and for the following es
sential details. At Georgetown, Ky., in
the spring of 1818, when I was but eigh
teen years ot age, I first met the lady who
for more than thirty-fours years has been
my wife. Our acquaintance resulted at tbe
end of six months in en engagement, which,
without prospect of SDeedy marriage, we
naturally sought to keepto ourselves. Two
years later, in tbe spring of 1890, when
I was maturing pluns to leave
my profeislon in Kentucky and establish
myself elsewhere, I was suddenly sum
mon'd to Pennsylvania by Ihe death of
my father. It beinp very doubtful if X
cou'd return to Kent:: ky, I was threaten
ed with an indefinil- separation from h-r
who possessed my mi: re devotion. My
one wish was to secure her to myself by
au indissoluble lie against every possible
contingency in life, and on the 301i day of
June, 1890, jus: prior to my departure
from Kentucky, we were, in Ihe presence
of chosen and irusted friends, united by
what I knew was in my State
of X'ennsylvania a perfectly legal form of
marriage. On reaching home Hound that
my family, and especially my bereaved
mother, strongly discountenanced by busi
ness plans, as involving too long a separa
tion from home and kindred. I complied
with her wish that I should resume, at
least for a time, my occupation in Ken
tucky, whither I returned in the latter
part of August, During the ensuing win
ter, induced by misgivings under new re
sponsibilities. misgivings which were in.
creased by legal consultations, I became
alarmed lest doubt might be thrown upon
the validity of onr marriage, by reason
ot non compliance with the law of the
State where it had occurred, for I had
learned that the laws of Kentucky
made a license certified by tbe clerk of the
eoaiity court an indispensable requisite of
a legal marriage. After much deliberation
and with an anxious desire to guard in tbe
most effectual manner sgiinstany possible
embarrassment resulting from onr posi
tion, for which I alone was responsible, we
decided that tbe simplest and, at the same
urns, surest way was to repair to Pennsyl
vania and have anoiher marriage servile
performed. This was done in the presence
of witnesses in tbe city of Pittsburg in
March, 1851, but was not made public, for
obv ox- reasons. It was solemnised only
to secure an Indisputable validity, tbe first
marriage being by my wife and myself
always beld sacred. At tbe mature tge
ol filty-funr, I do not defend the wisdom
or prudenco of a secret marriage suggested
by tbe ardor and inexperience of yontb,
but its honor and its purity were invloiate.
as I believe, in the a ght of God, and can
not be made to appear otherwise by the
wicked devices of men. It brought to me
a companionship which baa been my chief
happiness from boyhood to this year, and
has crowned ms wuh whatever success I
have attained in life. My eldest child, a
ion, was bom in his gTindmoiher’s house
on tbe 18th day of Jane, 1891, in the city
of Auguste, m., and died in her arms
three years later. His ashes repose in the
cemetery of his native city, beneath a
stone w hich recorded Lis name and the
limits of his innocent life. That stone,
which bad stood for almost an entire gen
eration. lias been recently defaced by bru
tal and sacrilegious hands. As a candi
date for President, I knew that I shonld
encounter many forms of calumny and
personal defamation, bat I conlesetbat I
did not expect to be called on to defend
tbe name of my beloved and honored wife,
who is a grandmother now, nor did I ex
pect that tbe grave of my little child
would be cruelly desecrated. Against such
gross forms of wrong tbe law gives no ad
equate redress, and I know that in the end
my meet effective appeal against the un
speakable outrages which 1 resist ra’’it be
tbe noble manhood and noble womanhood
of America. Yxur friend, very sincerely,

gir! was no coward, and exhibited
great presence of mind. Lighting a can-
ole, she ran into the hallway and shouted

house. Fathers Heliernan and Killilea were
soon on the spot, and Father Lndden. who
ia vicar-general of the diocese, seized a

took a position giving him command over
all approaches to the street.
Meanwhile, the bnrglarhad descended to
the basement and attempted to pass ont of

and said:
"If you move a step i'll shoot you.”

Pittmburo, Pa., September 19.—A ape*
clal dispatch from Locust Gap, Pa, aays:
In the outlying districts of the Schuylkill,
Northumberland, Canton, Lehigh, Wy
oming and Lackawana regions, the coal
tnd iron police, as well as members of the
detective corns, have discovered unmis
takable evidence of the existence /if lodges

Maguires. Centralis, Mt Carmen,
Girardville, Tuscarora, Coal Hill,
Gandaqua, Locust Gap, Dark Corner,
Coal Kidge. Summit and all the patches
about Broad Top Mountain from Mabooey
City to Ashland in one direction and from
Skcusr..lG«h to Black Creek have divi

regular meetings secretly beld in isolated
retreats. Tbe teeling again*! Hungarian
laborers is intense. Yesterday the body
of a Hungarian, who had been employed
on the Beech Creek, Clearfield and South
western railroad, was found near Clearfield
creek, in Clearfield county. There was a
terrible stab and other wounds upon him
It ia known that a party of miners attempt
ed to drive him away from the county
and it is presumed that the man refused to
leave ami was assassinated. A Hungarian
named George Ungtivavitch was fatally
shot by some unknown person at Centra-
Ua, Pa. A man named Ltfkowish has been
arrested on suspicion and taken to the
Bloomsbury jail. Interviews with Capt
Anderson, of the flhamokln coal and iron
police, Captain Williams, of the Schuylkill
corps, and Captain Linden, superintendent
of the Pennsylvania branch of
Pinkerton's agency, develop the
fact that the statements relative
to the reorganization of the notorious so
ciety were true. A large number of prom
inent citizens, railroad operators and mine
bosses have been threatened, end their
names placed noon the Molly Maguires
death list, their killing being set down tor
the near future. While there is no direct
evidence to connect tbe Molly Maguires
with the recent murders, there are certain
circomiuaceo that point to them as tbe
gull tv persons. The recent mysterious in
cendiary burning of colliery property in
different sections of the country is also at
tributed to ths brotherhood.

Nrw York. September 20.—Anelaborate
and well-nbtnned attempt at arson in a
hous* full of people was brought to light
u>-day. The diabolical crime, however,
'idacarried. Its only remit was the killing
of a woman, the wife of the man wboiu
tbe police arrested on the charge of setting
fire to the home. The womau was Mrs
Uersteg, the wife of L E. Gersteg, a«a1oon
keeper at 331 Rivington street. The
fire was discovered in the house. He
lived on the second floor with b'.s wife and
child, and lodgers occupied the third.
Early this morning a police officer saw
in the hoiiM- and gave the alarm
He and another ofiicer went to tho adjoin
ing house and aroused tbe inmate*. Then,
ascending the to roof, thCf ’ went to tor
re.«cueof tbe occupants of the burning
building. They, however, at tbe first
alarm, had fled to tbe street—all but two.
Mrs. Gersteg and her nine year old boy.
They were found on tho roof, the boy
nearly choked with smoke and the woman
dying from horrible burns. The
two were brought to the street In
the meantime the fir* had spread
and eat its way through to the roof. The
flames blazed furiously. When tbe f re
was put out, it was found that every thing
in the house bad been saturated with ker
osene oil and the gas everywhere turned
on. A sofa had been saturated with oil
aud chairs piled on it in a front room and
then set on fire. A fire was also starteo
in a closet. Kcro-ene steeped wood and
Hhavmg-i were scsttered every where in the
houae. Mrs. Gersteg could give no ac
count of the affair. She waa taken to the
hospital and died at break of day. The
bov was not badly burned. Tbe bus
oand could he found nowhere. It
was reported he had • quarrel with his
wife and went away aud was seen no
more. It is conjectured that the woman
had a hand in firing the houie. Gersteg
returned to the house late, as unconcerned
as if nothing had happened, and wa>
placed under arrest. He is a Frenchman,
and expressed no concern at the charge*
E referred against him. He denied that
e was guiltv, and said he had been out of
tbe house all night. When arraigned in
court he was committed for examination
