New York, Dec. 13.—Mrs. Chadwick
started lor Cleveland on the Buffalo
Limited, which left the Grand Central
station over the New York Central at
£ o’clock to-night. <
Before leaving she made a state
ment in which she declared she will
pay all her obligations, and that her
sole purpose in going is to face her
creditors. She said she could have ob
tained bail here if she had wished to,
and that one of the most prominent
men in the country had offered to-day
to go on 'her bond.
Mrs. Chadwick left here in custody
of United States Marshal Henkel and
Deputy Marshals Kumb and Kelker.
The train is scheduled to arrive in
Cleveland at 11:50 o’clock to-morrow
morning.
Before leaving the United States
marshal’s office for the station Mrs.
Chadwick, at the suggestion of her
counsel, Philip Carpenter, consented to
an interview with a number of news
paper men who were waiting. She was
reclining on a couch and seemed par
ticularly alert. She was the absolute
mistress of herself, and either smiled
as she made her statements or gave
way to an expression of bitterness.
She was gowned as she was when ar
rested.
“Many statements that have appear
ed about me are absolutely false,” she
began. “I have read statements in one
of two papers that are absolutely
false. I am physically and mentally
broken down. I am not in any condi
tion to make a statement.
Cable from Her Husband.
“It is not true that I cabled to Dr.
Chadwick this morning. Dr. Chadwick
cabled me this morning, and that ca
blegram will appear in the Cleveland
Plain-Dealer to-morrow morning.
“I am jgoip£ home for the sole pur
pose of facing my creditors and what
ever charges they have made against
me. I am going home voluntarily and
not because I could not obtain bail.
Since my arrest I have had offers of
bail from many prominent persons.
Isn’t that so, Mr. Carpenter?" she
asked, turning to her counsel.
“Yes: that is true.” he replied.
“To-day bail was offered to me by
one of the most prominent men in
Cleveland by telegram,” said Mrs.
Chadwick. "He said that a wire
would bring him here to furnish any
amount of bail that would be wanted.
Isn’t that so, Mr. Carpenter?” she
again asked.
He said her statement was true.
Falling Over-Themselves to Go Bail.
“I have had at least half a dozen
prominent persons offer me bail to
day,” continued the woman. “There
was no reason why I could not get
bail; none at all.
“I want it distinctly understood t'hat
f am going home simply because it is
the place where I should be.
“I shall not give bail, when I get
in Cleveland. I have the best motive
in the world for not doing so. The
history of this case from beginning to
end will soon be published in a cer
tain newspaper.”
"You will call names, won’t you,
Mrs. Chadwick?” interrupted Mr.
Carpenter.
"I shall use names,” corrected Mrs.
Chadwick. “I promised to give out my
story, and it may" take months to get
it out.' -It may be, however, that it
will be published to-morrow, next week
or In a month. But certainly not un
til all my obligations are settled and
paid.
Said She Gave Them the Slip.
“I have not tried to flee from any
one—not even from the newspaper
men,” she continued, with a smile.
“When all you young men thought
that I was sick at the Holland House,
i walked right by you and went to
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and alter at
tending to some business there, took
a cab back to the Holland House, and
went to bed.
“I left the Holland House one night
and went out walking between two of
the most prominent men in New York
city. I had dinner with them at Sher
ry's and came back and you did not
see me.”
“Will you say anything aDout your
relations with Mr. Carnegie?” was
asked.
"I am not here to be questioned,"
she replied. "I have nothing to say
about Mr. Carnegie and nothing to say
about any one else. I want to say em
phatically that I have not been forced
to go back to Cleveland. I delayed
my return home because I thought It
best to wait and see what the grand
Jury would do.
Always Ready 1a Go Rnck.
“If the grand Jury had Indicted me
fifty times. I would have gone back
Just the same. For the past week I
have been wanting to go back. Isn’t
that, so, Mr. Carpenter?”
"That's so,” said the lawyer.
”1 was ready to go back n weak ago
last Saturday," declared Mrs. Chad
wick, "I hud all my things packed,
but they wanted me to go down to
Wall street."
Mrs. Chadwick would not say who
they* meant.
"The result was that I did not get
off." she continued. "I feel it llttlo
better than I did a week ago. But
still I am very nervous, and I can
hardly stand on my feet."

celled the commitment and formally
delivered her over to the federal au
thorities. She was then taken before
Judge Adams of the United States
Circuit Court, who signed an order for
her removal to Cleveland.
Theu Boarded tlie Train.
Mrs. Chadwick was hysterical when
she returned to the marshal’s office,
and it required the combined efforts
of the marshal and Mr. Carpenter to
soothe her. After her meeting with
the reporters Mrs. Chadwick waited in
the marshal’s office until time to leave
for the Grand Central Station. When
the carriage reached the Hotel Breslin
the party stopped and Marshal Hen
kel went into the hotel. He returned
in a few minutes with the maid,
Freda, who carried several boxes and
bundles. She, with Marshal Henkel
and one of the deputies, accompanied
Mrs. Chadwick to the station. The
tickets had been procured in the aft
ernoon and the party went at once to
where the Buffalo Limited was wait
ing and took seats in a drawing room
compartment in the last car, which is
also equipped with berths.
GREAT CROWD WILL
SEE MRS. CHADWICK.
Cleveland In Anxiously Awaiting
Her Appearance.
Cleveland, 0.. Dec. 13.—The home
coming of Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick
to-morrow will create more excitement
in this city than any event of recent
years. The probability of a tremen
dous crowd at the depot has compelled
Chief of Police Koehler to arrange de
tails of officers to restrain the crowd,
and United States Marshal Chandler,
to whose offices she will be taken im
mediately upon her arrival, has de
termined to station a force of deputies
around his office to prevent the throng
from taking the room by storm.
The prospects to-night are that Mrs.
Chadwick will be compelled to go to
jail unless she give bail to the amount
of $40,000, and she may be asked to
furnish security as high as $52,500.
The county grand jury resumed its
investigation of the affairs of Mrs.
Chadwick, but returned no indictment
against her. notwithstanding*a report
to the contrary. Prosecutor Keeler
announced, however, that the appear
ance of Iri Reynolds, secretary and
treasurer of the Wade Park Bank, be
fore the jury to give evidence of the
woman’s transactions, had materially
strengthened the case against her.
It Is understood that an indictment
relating to the uttering and forging
of the $5,000,000 note on deposit in the
Wade Park Bank, which was the prin
cipal matter considered by the Inves
tigating body to-day, has been draft
ed. Whether or not it will be return
ed Prosecutor Keeler refuses to say.

Lynchburg, Va., Dec. 13.—A special
from Blacksburg to the News states
that the position of the faculty of the
Virginia Polytechnic Institute In re
gard to the trouble with the junior
class is in substance as follows: That
a member was dismissed a* one of the
party who hung in effigy the cotnmund

pleaded that It was a Joke. The fac
ulty refused to accept the exruse and
told him it was a matter which could

The president and board of visitors
held that such license Impaired the
discipline of the Institution. The clusx
took it up and contended that the de

The faculty holds that such action has
finally severed their connection with

the House Considered the Cose of
Judge Sway lie of the Northern Dis
trict of Florida—Thoutilit Most
Guilty in His Charges for Dally
Expenses Speeches for anti
Against Hint Heard.
Washington, Dec. 13.—Sitting as a
grand jury the House of Representa
tives to-day, with almost full member
ship, and after more than five hours’
discussion, to the exclusion of all oth
er business, adopted a resolution pro
viding for the impeachment of Judge
Charles Swayne of the Northern Dis
trict of Florida for "high crimes and
mtsdemea nors. ”
The case against the respondent was
clearly set out by Mr. Palmer of Penn
sylvania, chairman of the sub-commit
tee of the Judiciary Committee, which
heard the evidence in the case. He
carefully dissected the evidence bear
ing on each of the specifications, and
said that if it were found that Judge
Swayne had done well he should be
vindicated, but if he had done ill, he
should be sent to trial, “where his ex
cuses and apologies may or may not
receive consideration.”
He was followed by Messrs. Clayton
of Alabama, Powers of Massachusetts,
Henry of Texas and Lamar of Florida,
each of whom in most vigorous terms
advocated impeachment. Messrs. Gll
lett of California and Littlefield of
Maine in speeches, opposed their col
leagues on ail the specifications, ex
cept the one as to the account render
ed to the government by Judge Swayne
for traveling expenses.
Throughout the session intense in
terest was shown by members. Fol
lowing the adoption of the impeach
ment resolution, a provision was made
for the appointment of five members
to notify the Senate of the impeach
ment, and for a committee of seven to
present the case to the Senate.
To-day’s proceedings were the first
of their kind since the impeachment in
1876 of Gen. W. W. Belknap, who was
Secretary of War in President Grant's
cabinet.
Head the Specifications.
f After Mr. Hemenway of Indiana,
from the Committee on Appropria
tions, reported fcp urgent deficiency
bill and gave nomt that he would call
it up to-morrow, Mr. Palmer of Penn
sylvania, from the Judiciary Commit
tee, called up the -Swayne resolution.
Speaker Cannon compelled silence
while it was read, remarking that ev
ery member should hear it. Mr. Pal
mer then read the specifications
against the judge, upon which the
committee had based its action.
In support of the charge of misbe
havior Mr. Palmer said the evidence
showed that out of each year Judge
Swayne spent On an average of 212
days somewhere else, neither in his
district holding court, nor outside of
his district holding court. Judge
Swayne, he said, never voted in Flor
ida, never registered there and never
lived there in any proper sense of the
term.
Mr. Palmer then turned his atten
tion to a review of the evidence taken
before the committee, the main fea
tures of which already have been
published.
Was a Fire of Qnestlons.
As Mr. Palmer detailed the various
amounts paid by Judge Swayne for
board and necessary expenses, he was
subjected to ‘a fire of questions by sev
eral members. A question by Mr.
Adams, of Pennsylvania, if it was the
custom of the other Judges to accept
the maximum of $lO a day for ex
penses, rourel Mr. Palmer, who answer
ed with an emphatic, "No,” adding
thht if it was the custom it would be
no evidence in this case. "We are.”
he said with emphasis, “trying tlio
case of Judge Charles Swayne and
not all the other Judges of the United
States.”
Replying to Mr. Lacey of lowa. Mr.
Palmer said the committee did not look
into the question of whether or not
the fate of $lO a day was a fixed al
lowance, not thinking it relevant.
The charge against Judge Swayne of
swearing that his expenses were $lO a
day when in fact these expenses were
proven to be considerably less, he
said, stands unexpfained and unde
fended by the judge.
In order that it might be considered
as a part of the record in the case and
taken into account In making up the
decision of the House, Mr. Clayton of,
Alabama quoted from a decision of the
Court of Claims regarding what may
be regarded as proper expenses of a
Judge.
Wonld Ben Sorry Day.
After concluding his resume of the
evidence Mr. Palmer said that if Judge
Swayne had done well he ought to be
vindicated and sent out with the com
mendation. “Well done, good and faith
ful servant." If Judge Swayne had
done ill he ought to be sent to trial,
“where his excuses and apologies may
or may not receive consideration.” If
the House was of the opinion that
Judge Snayne's conduct had been com
mendable, “let him go soot free.”
“But.” he added, amid impressive si
lence, “in my Judgment it will be a
sorry day for the republic when such
behavior is commended by the repre
sentatives of the people.”
'The courts, he declared, are the
refuge of the weak, defenseless and
oppressed, and upon their integrity and
purity depends the preservation of life,
liberty and property.
The fact that there has been no
impeuchment of a Judge for more than
seventy years was sufficient evidence
of the efficiency, integrity and honor
of the courts. Mr. Palmer clossd by
saying: “That they may be kept pure
and free from all reproach Is my pray
er and tny hope, and for that reason I
shall vote to impeach the Hon. Charlo*
Hwayne.”
Without distinction ms to party, Mr.
Palmer waa loudly applauded as be
took his seat.
Mr. Clay lon of Alabama, a member
of Ihs Judiciary Committee, followed,
devoting much lime to a dlaeusalnn of
what constituted high crimes and mis
demeanors.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
AT MINNEAPOLIS.
The Loss Therefrom May Prove as
High as 90,000,000.
Minneapolis. Minn., Dec. 14.—Proba
bly the worst fire that the city of Min
neapolis has ever known is now rag
ing here, and already at 12:30 o’clock
$3,000,000 worth of property has been
destroyed, with prospects that the to
tal loss will reach at least $5,000,000.
The fire started in the photographic
supply house of O. H. Peck & Cos. on
fifth street and First avenue, south,
and in less than one-half hour this
bliilding was a mass of wreckage.
Next to the Peck building is the fur
niture supply house of Boutelle Bros..
the largest house of its kind in the
Northwest. This building soon caught
fire and is now burning, the sparks
from it being carried blocks by the
north wind which is blowing, aided by
zero weather.
The firemen are experiencing severe
difficulty in their work, which has not
as yet been effective, as the fire is
burning itself out in one or two build
ings. and their work is entirely di
rected to the buildings in close prox
imity in an attempt to have them.
It is reported that three firemen
have already lost their lives.
Minneapolis, Dec. 14, I:2o.—The fire
chief states that the fire is under con

not be as heavy as at first reported.

AGAINST THE GRAFTERS
Was the Decision of the Coart ot
Appeals.
Washington, Dec. 13.—The District
of Columbia Court of Appeals to-day
affirmed the decision of the criminal
court In the postal conspiracy cases of
August W. Machen, George E. Lorenz,
Samuel A. Groff and Diller B. Groff,
who were sentenced to two years Im
prisonment In the West Virginia peni
tentiary and to pay a fine of SIO,OOO.
The Court of Appeals announced that
after considering every point made by
counsel, no error had been found in
the proceedings in the trial for which
the Judgment ought to be reversed.
The opinion called attention to re
marks of special counsel for the gov
ernment, in which the latter had said
that the only juror who hung out in
the star route trials subsequently was
indicted for bribery, and stated that
if the lower court had not interrupted
this line of argument, as It had done,
the case would have been reversed.
It is probable that the counsel for
the defense in the postal cases will
now seek to carry the cases to the Su
preme Court of the United States.

FEARFUL OATHS
GUARD SECRETS
OF THE ENDOWMENT HOUSE.
HORRIBLE MUTILATION SHOULD
FOLLOW REVELATIONS.
Farther Evidence Taken by the Sen
ate Committee Regarding Senntor
eleet Iteed Smoot of Utah— List of
the Oliligat tons—Mormon Church
Alleged to lie Teaching Its Reli
gion in the Schools nt Public Ex
pense-Polygamous Exemplars.
Washington, Dec. 13. —Five witnesses
were examined to-day by the Senate
Committee on Privileges and Elections
in the investigation of protests agulnst
Senator Reed Smoot’s retaining his seat
in the Senate.
The first described the obligation
taken by persons who pass through
the endowment house and declared
that every one agrees to submit to
mutilation of the person if he or she
reveals what takes place during the
ceremony.
Two members of the faculty of the
Brigham Young University testified
that they have sustained polygamous
relations sinee the manifesto of 1890,
and a, teacher in the public schools as
serted that the church had religion
taught in such schools.
J. H. Wallis, Sr., of Sait Lake, said
he had stood proxy four times for mar
riages of living women to dead men.
He had been through the endowment
house twenty times. He was asked to
give the oaths taken by those who par
ticipated in the ceremonies and this he
did, together with a description of the
secret signs executed by each person.
Nearly all of the obligations were that
thu:,e who took part would not reveal
anything they saw or heard on penal
ties of mutilation of the person, and
every one who passed through the tem
ple, said the witness, was compelled to
agree to the conditions laid down by
the priests.
The Penalties Imposed.
The penalties agreed to were given
by Mr. Wallis as follows:
That the throat be cut from ear to
ear and the tongue torn out.
1 hat the breast be eut asunder and
the heart and vitals be torn from the
body.
That the body be cut asunder at the
middle and the bowels cut oqt.
That If demanded we will give all we
possess to the support of the church.
The next obligation was one of chas
tity, In which the obligator agreed
not to cohabit with any person not
given him or her by the priests.
Another obligation was one that we
would “never cease to importune high
heaven to avenge the blood of the
prophets upon the nations of the earth,
or the inhabitants of the earth, I
don’t just remember which,” nald the
witness. “This was followed by a
quotation from the scriptures, I think
Revelations, 6:9, ’The souls of those
slain cried aloud on the altars for ven
geance.’ ”
Mr. Wallis, when cross-examined,
said he had always considered the ob
ligations in the light of a joke, and that
he thought many others had consid
ered them in the same way.
Plurality of Wives.
George F. Bromhall, president of the
Brigham Young University, testified
that he had two wives, married before
1890. He said Senator Smoot fre
quently addressed the students and
always urged them to obey the law.
Josiah Hickman, a teacher in Brig
ham Young University, testified that
for ten years he lived with two wives
and had children by both of them. He
said he had taken no steps to conform
to law in relation to marriages.
“Then as you understand It, you are
not legally married to your present
wife?” asked Mr. Tayler.
"No, sir.”
The witness said he took the woman,
who became his second wife in 1890, .o
Mexico and that the ceremony had
been performed while they were walk
ing through the country. He said
there were no polygamous marriages
performed in the United States at that
time.
Mrs. Margaret Geddes of Salt
Lake said she became the plural wife
of William Geddes in Logan, Utah.
She had four children. Her husband
died in Oregon and she then went to
her husband’s first wife and there a
baby was born. She broke down cry
ing as she gave this testimony. It
was brought out that her husband
died thirteen years ago and that her
youngest child is five and a half years
old. She said she had not been mar
ried a second time and refused to give
the name of her youngest child's fa
ther.
Are Tonight About Polygamist*.
Arthur Morning, a teacher in the
public schools of Utah, said he had
been called on to conduct religion
classes in his school. He read letters
from Box Elder Stake presidency In
structing him how to outline the Mor
mon class work.
Mr. Tayler offered In evidence pass
ages from the books on Mormonlsm
sent to the schools. These hooks con
tained lessons for all grades from the
primary to the advanced grades. The
lessons were largely composed of
sketches of the lives of prominent
Mormons, among them the president
of the church and the apostles, Includ
ing Henator Smoot.
Senator Hopkins asked Mr. Taylor
what he expected to prove by that.
“We are proving," said Mr. Taylor,
"that the Mormon church is teaching
Its religion at public expense, and that
the lessons are largely composed of
biographies of men who are 'notorious'
Jolygainlstx."
The committee adjourned until to
morrow.

DEPUTIES WERE ROWDY.
Boxed the Ears and Spat In the
Faces of the Gunrds.
Budn Pest, Dec. 13.—Hoping to at
tract the sympathy of the populace the
members of tlie opposition in the
House of Deputies met early to-day,
and headed by Count Apponyl, former
Premier Banfty, Francis Kossuth and
other leaders, marched in procession
to the Parliament building. The pub
lic. however, displayed scant interest
and only a few idlers cheered them.
At the entrance they found the po
lice commissioner, who requested them
to enter singly. He was roughly
thrust aside and maltreated, whilst
the procession, dripping and with mud
dy boots, swarmed Into the chamber
over the gorgeous carpeting and ad
vanced to the guards, of the President’s
tribune, consisting of forty men, with
a roar of execration and ordered them
to quit the chamber. Acting on In
structions, the guards remained mute,
but immovable, which so incensed the
opposition deputies that they boxed
the ears and spat in the faces of the
guards.
The deputies fought their way to
the platform, tore it to pieces, scat
tered the debris over the house, tore to
atoms the codes of law on the presi
dent's table, smashed the tables and
chairs and destroyed the platform and
distributed the broken pieces among
the deputies, who thus armed, attacked
the guards, and after a brief fight,
drove them from the house. The desks
were then torn down and the Interior
of the house was almost completely
wrecked.
Seven of tlie guards were injured in
the scrimmage before they fled from
the chamber.
Having piled the debris in the middle
of the chamber, the rioters crowned
their work of destruction by erecting
a model of a galloivs from broken
