T. Peoples , Councilor. What Coghlan Said "I atn certain we all felt that we were being nagged at Manila. We were nearly nagged to death. There is such a thing as being nagged too far and. 'em, we were ready for 'em. I had read a great deal in the newspa pers of what had occurred at various places in the Philippines, and I thought that the newspapers had not placed that grand old man, Admiral Dewey, in the proper light. That is the reason I thought I was justified iu placing him in the proper light. "If any one will reason a little he will under our situation. We were all away from home a long way. We all showed Admiral Dewey that we were with hini thoroughly and heartily. We felt that we were being belittled and nagged until our patience could stand it no longer. "The Admiral was a man who could stand it a long time. But when the moment came he stopped it, and they never moved a hair afterward." (Great applause.) Stopping a few moments and looking about at his auditors, Captain Coghlan raised his, hands and placing the palms close together, said "I did think at one time that we were that close to killing 'them. (Great ap plause.) One word, one act, would have done it." Germany took unbrage at that and its Ambassador filed a protest with the Secretary of State. It is probable that no notice would have been taken of Capt. Coghlan's speech, but for the strained relations between this country and Germany over the Samoan incident- The other act of Capt. Coghlan that is complaiued of is the song he sang at a reception in New York. It is a song that is said to have been very popular while the officers and men of the fleet at Manila. These are the words: Der Kaiser fen das Falerland, Uud Gott un! 1 all dings command : We two, acb, ilon't you understand? MEINSELF und Gott. Vile some men sing der bower divine, Mein soldiers sing "Die Wacht am Rhein.?' Und drink der health in Rheuish wine Of ME und Gott. There's Frauce, she svaggers all around; She's ausgespielt, she's no aggound; To much, we dinks, shedon't amouud MEINSELF und Gott. She will not dare to fight again, But if she should I'll show her blain Dat Elsass (und in French) Loraine ARE MEIN by Gott. Dare's Grandma, dinks she's nicht schmall bier, Mit Boers und such she interfere; She'll learn none owns de hemisphere But ME una Gott. She dinks, good frau, some ships she's got, Und soldiers mil der scarlet goat, Ach! We could knock 'em proof like dot MEINSELF und Gott. Iu dimes of peace brebare for wars. I hear der helm uud shpear of Mars, Und care not for den dousand Czars MEINSELF und Gott. In fact, I humor every vhim, Mit aspect dark und visnge grim Gott pulls mit ME-and I mit Him MEINSEFL und Gott. Washington, April 25. At the Cabi net meeting today the recent utterances of Captain Coghlan, of the cruiser Ral eigh, were informally discussed. Secre tary Long said be had received a letter on the subject from Captain Coghlan. The captain disclaimed any intention of insulting the German Emperor or Admiral Von Diedrichs, and his re marks on the occasion of the Union League Club bouquet were made in the most informal manner in the company of friends, without any thought that they would be reported iu the public press. As they did appear, he said, they were exaggerated and distorted, and he was made to say things which he did not utter. He claims that under the circumstances his remarks should be regarded as privileged. After the Cabinet meeting adjourned Secretary Long and Secretary Hay re mained a short time with the President to further discuss the matter. It is understood that the Captain will stoou retire from the service through the regular channel, and it is thought in view of this fact and further that he rendered distinguished services at the naval engagement at Manila, the au thorities will show him as much con sideration as is consistent with naval discipline. According to arrangements made some days ago for the President's visit to Philadelphia he will go aboard the Raleigh next Friday morning as a special compliment to Captain Cogh lan. Whether under the circumstances, this part of the programme will be changed cannot now be Stated. Operations of Cheap Swindlers. Charlotte, N, C, April 45. Secretary John W. Miller, of the State Banker's Association, has received notice of several swindlers operating in this State and warus the public against them. One calling himself W. T, Magee, of Danville Va., sold goods to farmers in Person county and took notes. He sold the notes to a bank and has not been heard from since. In Alamance county one R. C. Adams, claiming to be from Charlotte, worked the same game. At Laurinburg, , John Burt and Samuel Moore, claiming to be from Virginia, rented houses to settle, bought $100 worth of furniture and tendered a $135 check on a Staunton Va., bank In payment. The check turned out to be bogus. They have disappeared. Woman Used a Pistol. New York, April 25. John Hooney, 32 years of age, was shot and killed last night in Bedford, Westchester coanty, Itooney was employed by the Loring family, of Bedford. He had been on a spree for two or three days and was almost delirious when he returned to the Loring farmhouse last night. The farm is about four miles. from Bedford Station. Mrs. Bedford and her children were alone in the house at the time. Rooney began to stone the dwelling, and in the darkness, Mrs. Loring, it is said, did not recognize him. Be lieving that he was a stranger, aud fearing that he meant to harm her and her children, it is alleged Mrs. Loring secured her revolver and shot Rooney as he stood In the yard. The bullet pierced his left lung, and is supposed to have penetrated his heart. He was found close to a barbed wire fence. terished for Pelf, Bellefonte, Pa., April 25.--Mrs. Wi liam Meyer, an aged widow, near Boalsburg, in this county, was burned to death last night while a large crowd of men stood helpless to rescue her from her burning home. The woman was alone, and staited to save as rruch of her property as possible. She had canied out everything of value except a trunk, in which there was consider able money. She expressed her deter mination to save the treasure, and in sisted on rushing into the house. She was caught and dragged back twice, but the third time she broke away and dashed for the burning building. A moment later she was seen at the up per window with her clothes and hair afire, trying to raise the trunk to the till to pitch it out. After several vain efforts she sank back. Her charred re mains wtve recoveren. Fatal Accident In Hechlenburit. Charlotte, N. C, April 26. News reached here today of a sad accident in Hickory Grove, this county.' nugh Russell, a popular young farmer, was taking down his gun to go squirrel hunting when the hammer struck a chair. The barrel was on a level with his head, and the entire load struck him just above the ear, blowing one side of his head almost entirely off. There were reports that he had com mitted suicide, but tbe family are firmly convinced that it was an accident Distance doesn't lend enchantment to one's view of an . expected inheritance. Ruin Wrought By Benzol Philadelphia, Pa., 25. By the ex plosion of seventy-five gallons of ben zol in the laboratory of Frank H. Fleer and Company, manufacturers of chewing gum at Nos. 2,343 and 2,344 Callowhill street today, two men vere killed three persons seriously injured and over a score of others more or less hurt by flying debris. The dead. Walter Mainwaring, assistant super intendent. Charles M'Kinley, engineer. Of those injured Harry Randall, an' employe, and Mrs. Givison and her 1-year-oid child are the most seriously hurt, but he will recover. The explosion was a terrific one, and for a time caused the wildest ex citement. No less than one hundred buildings in the vici'nity, most of them very small dwellings, were damaged. The laboratory building was a two story structure. At the time of the explosion there were only four men working in the building who were preparing a mixture for the making ofvanilline. The doors to the room in which they were -working were closed, but the( flames from the ben zol, in some manner reached the furnace in the next room and the ex plosion followed. Randall's escape was remarkable. He was blown through the roof and landed on an adjoining building. At first it was was thought he was dead, but after treatment in the hospital he regained consciousness. Although badly hurt he will recover. As Mrs. Givison, with her child on her arms, was hurriedly leaving her home, which was directly opposite the laboratory, her dress caught fire from a flying ember and she and the child vere badly burned. Their re covery is doubtful. The explosion was so terrific that the buildings adjoining each side of laboratory were completely demolish ed. On both sides of the street for a whole square the explosion wrought destruction. Windows were broken, fixtures were smashed, and walls were cracked. Fire added to the destruc tion in a number of places, but the flames were quickly extinguished be' fore they did any considerable damage. The money loss is estimated to be considerably over $100,000 Philippines For the Negro. Washington, April 25 V proposition to utilize negro troops to a large extent iu future military operations in the Philippines is attracting much atten tion and it is believed will be consider ed by the administration iu the near future. Such a policy is urged on the theory that certain racial affiliations may he utilized in a way to defeat rebellious acts on the part of Aguinal ilo aud his party and to bring peace to the newly acquired possessions of the United States in the east. One third of the population of the Philip pines are negroes of the same race as those in the United States, and while not numerous about Manila, comprise nearly the entire population of some of the islands. The advocates of the scheme be!ieve that in a short time there wou'd be assimilation between the negroes of the Philippines and their kindred from the United States and there would follow for the colored people opportunities to get homes and possibilities of careers they could not hope for iu this country. Middlesboro, Ky., April 26. The body of Mrs. Virginia Brook was found in Lee county, t Virginia, thirty miles from here, lying on a log heap, partly burned, but easily recognized. It is supposed that a man who has been paying respects to her murdered her and attempted to burn the body. Washington, April 26. A friend of Agoncillo's, Aguinaldo's representa tive In Europe, has received a message from him in which he says he expects to return to the United States and see the authorities regarding arrange ments to end the war in the Philippines. Forgery of a Public Law. A sensation develops here in the trial of the Abbott-Beddingfield case, in volving title to corporation commis- sionership. This is due to the discov ery that the act abolishing the railway commission has been altered from March "4" to ' G" as to the date of ratification, the figure "6" being writ ten over the figure "4'' in a bold hand. It was the purpose that the act be ratified March 4th, bo as to give space of time between it and the act creating the corporation commission- The en rolling clerk's book shows the act was listed March 4th as ratified that day. The journals of the senate and the house 6how it was ratified that day. Speaker Connor is here and says he would not have signed the act with any such alteration showing. Chief Clerk Dnie!s. of the senate, says the figure "6" is written over and that there is forgery. Clerk Hackett, of the house, says that there is some foul play and also says he finds on the house records book this act rubbarstamped as ratified March 4th and below this rubber stamp, a mark sloped and hastily made saying it was ratified March 6th. It can be readily seen what important bearing this has on Dr. Abbott's case. His Body Found, Charleston, S. C, April 26. On the night of March 30th, Private Frank Gough, of the Second Rhode Island regiment, who had been mus tered out at Columbia was on his way home and stepped or fell from the Atlantic Coast Line train at Pee Dee station in Florence county. Nothing was heard of him, and after four days the Coast Line authorities had the swamp and river near the station searched and dragged for a week with out avail. The mystery was unrav elled on Sunday, when an old negro who was coming up Pee Dee river in a boat two miles from the railroad bridge found the body of Gough in some tree limbs where it had floated and lodged. The body was identi fied, though in a horrible state of decomposition and has been prepared for burial and shipped to the volun teer's home iii Rhode Island. Norfolk & Western R. R. Petersburg, Va., April 26. West bound passenger train No. 33, on the Norfolk & Western railroad, due here about 10 o'clock P. M., was wrecked to night about four miles east of the city. The locomotive was overturned on the main track and literally wrecked, as was also the tender. The baggage and mail cars, the passenger coaches and sleepers ran through a barbed wire fence into an open field for a distance of about 300 yards, and all but the sleeper were wrecked. Mr. Crannis, the engineer, and his fireman,, stood heroically at their posts and were not injured. They crawled out of the wreck through the window of the locomotive. Captain Douglass. the conductor, was uninjured and came to Petersburg on a hand car for . aid to bring the injured to the city; The wounded are: C. D. Andrews. Petersburg, Va.; W. C. Cullen, ex press messenger, ankle sprained. Samuel Elerstein, New "York, shoulder bruised; P. H. Dunenberg, BaltN more, Mtl., severely bruised. Turpentine District. Savannah, Ga., April 2G Reports received from the turpentine 'districts of Georgia, Alabama and Florida indi cate that first estimates of damage from the recent freeze were over drawn. The information no is that the damage does not appear to be over one per cent. One, 1 vo and three year trees are givii. down about as much turpentine as if there had been no exceptional coal. The yield from upland trees is fully in ac cordance with the season, though lowland trees are a week or so be hind. There will be no diminution of the crude output on account of the cold. The man who is always late has his shortcomings. . VT MY
