The two hundred and twenty-five excursionists arrived last night at seven oYlook, after an absence of four days, morn than satisfied with their trip, and fully convinced that Washington Is the only city on the map. Everything on the Itinerary was fully carried out with the addition of a visit to several ships in th« navy yard, among which were the Mayflower.tho President's yacht; the DoipKJn, the Secretary of the Navy's yacht, and a cruiser of Austria Hungary. The trip t»S Ml. Vernon on the steamer MeOallister was, in the opinion of the t>vo hundred and twentyflve, one of the most delightful of the pleasures of the trip, which was one continual round of delight. Professor A. M. Hammers, who conducted the trip, only accompanied his charges back as far as Harrisburg where and Mrs. Hammers left for a few days' visit in Philadelphia. SEVEN HUNDRED RIOT ON THE DOCKS 3. VV. (I >f the ,J lay rl i 'islon N. A. I !nt of vested ?uthl istanl "i; j Isfattf The Punxsutnwnoy nrewlns Company, about a month ago, purchased a fine team of draft horses from George N. Redding.. of Wllllamspsrt, formerly a well known resident of Trade City, Indiana County. • While the negotiations for the team were in progress the prospective purchaser made inquiry as to whether one of the animals, a mare, was with foal or not as the team was being purchased for constant use. Mr. Redding assured them that to the best of his knowledge and belief no increase In the stock purchased from him need be anticipated. Whan doubt was expressed on the subject, Mr. Redding promptly offered to wager $50 that he had sold them but two animals, and finding no takers, raised the bet to a $50 -to $10 shot. At this the Punxsutawney horsemen withered away and nothing more was thought about it until late last night, when Dan Tracy, the manager of the brewery, began to realize tha: something wasgolngfo happen at the stables. Mr. Tracy got busy fixing up a special stall for the mare and this morning at about three o'clock he attended an equine matinee after which he announced the arrival of one of the finest baby colts he has ever seen. "When Mr. Tracy first realized that there was to be an Increase he started •to the telegraph office to accept Mr. Hedding's bet, but changed his mind before he got there when the thought dawned upon hlin that It might be a mule, a point not coming within the terms of Mr. Reddlng's wager. In order to get even Mr. Tracy is ready now, however, to wager a ti n to one shot that the offspring is one of the flnes>t fillies in the country. INDIANA TAKES ANOTHER FALL [on nttr K IaJ By Publishers' Press. NKW YORK, May It.—Seven lumen hundred striking longshoremen itivaded the piers of the Italian line at Thirty-fourth Street and North ltlver. this morning. Many of the strikers were armed with clubs and bait hooks and forcibly drove from the docks of the steamer Campania, one hundred and fifty Italian strike breakers engaged In loading the vessel. . . In the melee that ensued when the two gangs met many fierce blows were exchanged and heads were crackright and left. The reserves were called out and came to the scene of the riot on the run, finally driving the strikers from the pier. Efforts are now being made to settle differences by arbitration. Chief among the things tfiat attract desirable citizens to a town or city are good schools, strong, we 11-housed churches, a well equipped Y. M. C. A. and kindred institutions, a good supply of pure water for domestic purposes,4 clean, well-paved streets, and a diversity of industries. This is a combination that cannot fail to make a town grow and prosper, nor is any part of the combination unimportant. Punxsutawney now has the churches. No town of its size can boast of better equipment in this line. With the new school building: complete it will rank with the first in respect to schools, having in addition to the public schools a thriving: business College. The \Vat»>r supply is apparently forthcoming in the near future, street paving is progressing apace, if the new steel works comos the town will have a sufficient diversity of industries to insure its present prosperity and future growth, as far as industries can so do. As to helpful public and semi-public institutions aside from the churches and schools, at present Punxsutawney is sadly deficient. Hut when the new Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg Ilailroad Y. M. A. Is complete, and the plans of the board of directors of the Central Association are realized, no town of our size In Pennsylvania, with the possible exception of Sewickley, the home of Pittsburg millionaires, will be better equipped in this respect. It would seem, then, that the things for Punxsutawney citizens to boost just now are the proposed new steel mill, the new water plant, and the new Y. M. C\ A. plant. All are within reach this summer, and the prospects for their realiatlon are brlgh-t, but Punxsutawney "expects every man to do his duty" Let there be no shirkers.

The obstruc< jl consists of a bent standing 11 I middle of the thoroughfare at . Int where the Jefferson Tract lor tmpany's line passes through un ir the trestle.

May II. — Hoth tun- rushed th«• Ir ealendars nt an al- I moat unprecedented rati- this week in | order in adjourn at the time fixed. The appropriation bills were passed tinally by recorded two-thirds votes when as a fact only a few members responded when their names were called. For insianee, in the Senate yesterday with only six members present, . very appropriation bill was pass 1 by a two-thirds vote. At tho ■ ttne time the clerks In the House wer. hard put to It to mark up a baro majority for bills on final passage. Notwithstanding; the absenteeism In both houses, each held a session last. e\.nlng to receive and take action on bills messaged from the other. This w necessary in order that the bills might be disposed of in the few days that remain for legislation. Ii« House passed a large number of Senate bills, on first reading yest. r.i; y and these will be rushed to lit .il pass.i;;. The order «»f Inistn» ;it next Monday afternoon's sitting of the lloust—the first this session -will be Senate bills on second ■ e tiling. At the evening session the order will include Senate bills in all stages. The House Committee on Rules has suspended Rule 10, and thus taken the bridle off legislation for the rest of the session. It i*-- plain that a great number of the bills that have been introduced will never get near the final passage stage. In fton7e"~or the" ref»rin in- imitvs which were promt sea in the campaign of last year will not i> enacted. The civil service reform t»lll to which i lie Governor wan I>|im1k«'<1 was killed In the House n ! few <1. ys ago after some extraordlnary jo» )<■ y-inn. The railroad commission bill has be« n "amended" out of ill semblance of its original shape, and th. re is a probability that the miners' bills will bi .strangled. Tho Governor has promised that he will try to have t ie employers' liability bill reported and enacted. The House bills for the enforcement of the s \ < nt«-< nt l> article of the Constitution, relating to transportation, Th« rc is a distinct hostility to the Senate manifested In the House. Tho members of the lower body accuse the Senators of killing meritorious House measure--, which is at least partly t ur UUt it Is also true that the House has killed at least one good Senate measure, that providing for civil service reform. At no stage of the session aas there been a chance t >r the enactment of election reforms hat have been demanded. In particular. the demand for the amending nt of tin> voters' disability clause of the election laws has been ignored. HOJSR. liln., May 11.—Moyrr Haywood an<l PrWibon© are now unal>*ing the list of State's witnesses presented in court by Prosecutor Hawley. The acused men ami their attorneys say there are no surprises In the list; it is, they say jus: a roll call of men adverse to the Western Federation of Miners and that the testimony they may give will be a revival of accusa- tions and a historical recital of misdeeds at Coeur d'Alene, Cripple Creek. Telluride, Victor, independence and other places where the miners have clashed with the mine owners over wages and hours. That the State Is «'»ing back to resurrect the Hunker Hill and Sullivan dynamiting in 1809 is shown by the score of witnesses summoned from Wallace and Wardner. Former Governor Peabody and former Adjutant General Sherman Hell, of Colorado; Bulkley Wells and Floyd Thompson, together with half a dozen members of the Colorado Mine owners' association, are on the State list of witnesses. Governor Gooding and the Idaho officials are beginning to take extraordinary precautions to prevent any communication with Harry orchard', the State's chief witness, who Is imprisoned at the State penitentiary. Within forty-eight hours fourteen additional guards have been apponted to the prison and peremptory orders have been given that no on. but the warden shall leave the place till after the Haywood trial. This unusual proceeding is adopted to insure that no one friendly to Haywood shall hold even a second hand communication with the State's witness. Governor Gooding refuses to consent to newspaper photographers taking pictures of Orchard. Detective Mc- Partland, who keeps constant surveillance on the assassin of Steunenberg, is almost afraid to admit that Orchard is at the penitentiary, so fearful is he that someone will get over the walls and talk with the informer. Now that the trial is under way and jurors are being summoned, speculation concerning the evidence the State has against the defendants Is Indulged in by everybody. The State has it last confirmed the Judgment, of all impartial observers, that the case will run on for months and (hat day after day it is to be devoted to invesigation of the internal affairs of the Western Federation of Miners. Among the ex-members of the Federal convention who have been sub[ penaed by the prosecution is Ed Boyce tlrst president of the miners' organization. Boyce Is now a millionaire mine owner and is no longer the companion of Haywood. Mover and Pc-ttlbone. Notwithstanding this change of fortune he is said to be friendly to the j men and has no adverse evidence to give against them. Harry Orchard was once Boyce's partner. They held equal shares in the Hercules mine in the Coeur d'Alenes, one of the richest mines in America. Orchard sold his interest in the Hercules for $500 and that interest today is worth $1,000,000. Governor Steunenberg drove Orchard to sacrifice his share in the mine. Boyce was not compelled to leave Idaho; he held on to his share and today is worth* millions, while his old-time partner. Orchard, is a self-confessed assassin. of the Haywood trial Haywood's defenders claim that Orchard's resentment toward Governor Steunenberg drove him to murder and this will be one of the contentions WASHINGTON, I). <\, May 11.—A happy Virginia bride at nineteen, mistress of the White House at twenty-one and totally blind and an inmate of the Louise Home in this city at eighty-seven. Such is the life story of Mrs. Letitia Tyler Semple, daughter of former President Tyler, who was eighty-seven years old today. When It Is remembered that Mrs. Semple was a little girl when Lafayette made his last visit to America, and a young woman before the Seminole Indians were finally pacified in Florida, it would seem that she almost belongs to another age. She saw the tlrst 'telegraph wire In the United States stretched from Washington to Baltimore, and later was given a piece of the original Atlantic cable by S. F. I?. Morse himself. She was present at the launching of the Allegheny, the tlrst iron ship in the United States navy to be propelled by steam. She was acquainted with such notable figures in public life as Daniel Webster. John Calhoun, Henry Clay, Washington Irving, Andrew Jackson, John Qulncy Adams and numerous others. Mrs. Semple in her youth was her father's constant companion. She was a good musician and was the life and spirit of the household. At the age of nineteen she became the wife of Mr. Semple. i When the death of William Henry Harrison made Tyler President he J brought a large and Interesting fam! lly to the White House. Mrs. Tyler i was an Invalid and could never discharge the duties of mistress of the White House. During the first few months of Tyler's administration Mrs. Robert Tyler, wife of a son of the President, acted as his hostess, while the President's daughter, Lotltia, renin ined at their Virginia home with her mother. Some months later Mrs. Tyler made the trip to Washington, accompanied by her daughter, now Mrs. Semple, but succumbed to her malady very shortly afterward and was buried from the. White House, of which she had never been able to assume the duties of mistress. After the death of her mother Mrs. Semple assumed the duties of mistress of the : White House, which she discharged j with grace and tact until her fath- i er's second marriage only a few I months before his term of office ex- j pi red. His second bride was Miss j Julin Gardner of New York. Like most elderly people, Mrs. Sample lives in the past. Her last visit to the Whi'te House was during the administration of President Pieree, whose family were Intimate friends. Since that 'time, although invitations have come to her for every function given there and are still coming, sin* has paid no attention to them. She leads a quiet life In the Louise Home for the Aged, which is filled with Southern ladles of gentle birth and culture. The home is not a charitable institution, for each woman must pay for her board and room. The charge Is modest, as the institution was handsomely endowed by the founder, the late philanthropist, \V. \V. Corcoran, who gave it in memory of his daughter Louise, who died in her youth. When Mrs. Fisher retired last, night she appeared to be eheerful and in good spirits. At two o'clock this morning she arose and drained the contents of a bottle containing phenol. Her husband was aroused by her agony and found her in a dying condition.The.family resided at No. 75 1311a Street. It is supposed that the woman's deed was the result of ill health. The couple had been married for live ■yearrt. Hy Publishers' Press. PITTSBUfUI. May 11. — Another young and pretty Allegheny matron, Mrs. Emma Fisher, aged twenty-six years, and mother of a daughter four yen is. of age, the wife of Raymond Fisher, an electrical worker, committed suicide early this morning by drinking phenol.

Everything on the Itinerary was fully carried out with the addition of a visit to several ships in th« navy yard, among which were the Mayflower.tho President's yacht; the DoipKJn, the Secretary of the Navy's yacht, and a cruiser of Austria Hungary. The trip t»S Ml. Vernon on the steamer MeOallister was, in the opinion of the t>vo hundred and twentyflve, one of the most delightful of the pleasures of the trip, which was one continual round of delight. Professor A. M. Hammers, who conducted the trip, only accompanied his charges back as far as Harrisburg where and Mrs. Hammers left for a few days' visit in Philadelphia. SEVEN HUNDRED RIOT ON THE DOCKS 3. VV. (I >f the ,J lay rl i 'islon N. A. I !nt of vested ?uthl istanl "i; j Isfattf The Punxsutnwnoy nrewlns Company, about a month ago, purchased a fine team of draft horses from George N. Redding.. of Wllllamspsrt, formerly a well known resident of Trade City, Indiana County. • While the negotiations for the team were in progress the prospective purchaser made inquiry as to whether one of the animals, a mare, was with foal or not as the team was being purchased for constant use. Mr. Redding assured them that to the best of his knowledge and belief no increase In the stock purchased from him need be anticipated. Whan doubt was expressed on the subject, Mr. Redding promptly offered to wager $50 that he had sold them but two animals, and finding no takers, raised the bet to a $50 -to $10 shot. At this the Punxsutawney horsemen withered away and nothing more was thought about it until late last night, when Dan Tracy, the manager of the brewery, began to realize tha: something wasgolngfo happen at the stables. Mr. Tracy got busy fixing up a special stall for the mare and this morning at about three o'clock he attended an equine matinee after which he announced the arrival of one of the finest baby colts he has ever seen. "When Mr. Tracy first realized that there was to be an Increase he started •to the telegraph office to accept Mr. Hedding's bet, but changed his mind before he got there when the thought dawned upon hlin that It might be a mule, a point not coming within the terms of Mr. Reddlng's wager. In order to get even Mr. Tracy is ready now, however, to wager a ti n to one shot that the offspring is one of the flnes>t fillies in the country. INDIANA TAKES ANOTHER FALL [on nttr K IaJ By Publishers' Press. NKW YORK, May It.—Seven lumen hundred striking longshoremen itivaded the piers of the Italian line at Thirty-fourth Street and North ltlver. this morning. Many of the strikers were armed with clubs and bait hooks and forcibly drove from the docks of the steamer Campania, one hundred and fifty Italian strike breakers engaged In loading the vessel. . . In the melee that ensued when the two gangs met many fierce blows were exchanged and heads were crackright and left. The reserves were called out and came to the scene of the riot on the run, finally driving the strikers from the pier. Efforts are now being made to settle differences by arbitration. Chief among the things tfiat attract desirable citizens to a town or city are good schools, strong, we 11-housed churches, a well equipped Y. M. C. A. and kindred institutions, a good supply of pure water for domestic purposes,4 clean, well-paved streets, and a diversity of industries. This is a combination that cannot fail to make a town grow and prosper, nor is any part of the combination unimportant. Punxsutawney now has the churches. No town of its size can boast of better equipment in this line. With the new school building: complete it will rank with the first in respect to schools, having in addition to the public schools a thriving: business College. The \Vat»>r supply is apparently forthcoming in the near future, street paving is progressing apace, if the new steel works comos the town will have a sufficient diversity of industries to insure its present prosperity and future growth, as far as industries can so do. As to helpful public and semi-public institutions aside from the churches and schools, at present Punxsutawney is sadly deficient. Hut when the new Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg Ilailroad Y. M. A. Is complete, and the plans of the board of directors of the Central Association are realized, no town of our size In Pennsylvania, with the possible exception of Sewickley, the home of Pittsburg millionaires, will be better equipped in this respect. It would seem, then, that the things for Punxsutawney citizens to boost just now are the proposed new steel mill, the new water plant, and the new Y. M. C\ A. plant. All are within reach this summer, and the prospects for their realiatlon are brlgh-t, but Punxsutawney "expects every man to do his duty" Let there be no shirkers.

May II. — Hoth tun- rushed th«• Ir ealendars nt an al- I moat unprecedented rati- this week in | order in adjourn at the time fixed. The appropriation bills were passed tinally by recorded two-thirds votes when as a fact only a few members responded when their names were called. For insianee, in the Senate yesterday with only six members present, . very appropriation bill was pass 1 by a two-thirds vote. At tho ■ ttne time the clerks In the House wer. hard put to It to mark up a baro majority for bills on final passage. Notwithstanding; the absenteeism In both houses, each held a session last. e\.nlng to receive and take action on bills messaged from the other. This w necessary in order that the bills might be disposed of in the few days that remain for legislation. Ii« House passed a large number of Senate bills, on first reading yest. r.i; y and these will be rushed to lit .il pass.i;;. The order «»f Inistn» ;it next Monday afternoon's sitting of the lloust—the first this session -will be Senate bills on second ■ e tiling. At the evening session the order will include Senate bills in all stages. The House Committee on Rules has suspended Rule 10, and thus taken the bridle off legislation for the rest of the session. It i*-- plain that a great number of the bills that have been introduced will never get near the final passage stage.

The railroad commission bill has be« n "amended" out of ill semblance of its original shape, and th. re is a probability that the miners' bills will bi .strangled. Tho Governor has promised that he will try to have t ie employers' liability bill reported and enacted. The House bills for the enforcement of the s \ < nt«-< nt l> article of the Constitution, relating to transportation, Th« rc is a distinct hostility to the Senate manifested In the House. Tho members of the lower body accuse the Senators of killing meritorious House measure--, which is at least partly t ur UUt it Is also true that the House has killed at least one good Senate measure, that providing for civil service reform. At no stage of the session aas there been a chance t >r the enactment of election reforms hat have been demanded. In particular. the demand for the amending nt of tin> voters' disability clause of the election laws has been ignored. HOJSR. liln., May 11.—Moyrr Haywood an |
