Tex., on Aug. 13, l!XXi. A statement was made by one of the discharged negro soldiers to two reporters, anil thus after seven months of investigation by the authorities of the United States what appears to be the true version of the riot has come to light. New York. March 18.—The Herald declares that, according to a member of John D. Rockefeller, Jr.'s, Bibla class, who is also h personal friend ot John D. Rockefeller aud in a position to know of his affairs, the latter intends to make a princely gift soon to (lie city of New York. It will amount to at least $50,000,000.

The Herald's informant said thai when Mr. Rockefeller was conferring with his son at I.akewood, N. J., a fortnight ago the meeting was not for the purpose of discussing any iminedl-i ate gift, liul was 011 the subject of Mr.' Rockefeller's will, which document the oil king was then completing with the aid of his son and his lawyers. It Is' said that this document will astonish the world when It is made public. It will, it is declared, donate no less than $250,000,000 for charitable and educational purposes, and It will be so bestowed that the benuflt. therefrom will almost be perpetual. Evelyn Thaw to Testify Again. Judge Lynch this morning sustained the action of Alderman Kmittv. of the Fourth ward, in placing Joseph Oharnousky under $3,rD00 bail on the charge of dynamiting. The case came to the attention of the judge by habeas corpus proceedings, which were instituted by Joseph Mulhern, attorney for t'harnousky. The district attorney's office was represented by Attorney Butiewicz. Detective Kupchin had several witnesses on hand to show the strength of bis case and after hearing them Judge Lynch decided that the seriousness of the charge justified the bail asked by the alderman and he declined to lower It. Charnousky was sent back to jail. "J pro mo has opened the door so wide in his rebuttal that he has practically opened a new case, and we have a right to go to almost any length in the introduction of further testimony. We h:fve many witnesses who have not One counsel for Thaw said The discharged soldier admits that he participated in the riot.

It is a great temptation for us to proceed, but the wisdom of such a course is a matter of doubt, and it has been practically decided, in conference, not to tire the juror-; any more than is considered absolutely necessary in the best interests of our client." Outrage Not Premeditated. According to the negro, the outrage was not premeditated, but was the result of an alleged injury done one of the soldiers by a white man in Brownsville about a half hour before the riot started. The negro was struck by the white man in a resort in Brownsville. The negro, returning to the barracks, seized his rifle and announced that he was going to kill the white man.

THE NO. 9 ACCIDENT. The manner in which these bequest* will be bestowed is said to be mainly educational and charitable. While there are some contributions for religious purposes, it is stated that Mr. Rockefeller does not think it necessary to extend any great financial aid to churches. To his manner of thinking the churches are growing stronger and stronger, and there is no danger that they will ever need any great financial assistance from one man. COMMISSIONERS HEAR ARGUMENTS WHIRLED AROUND SHAFT The condition of Edward Edmunds, who was hurt in the accident at No. 9 breaker, is reported as favorable, and it is cxpected that he will recover. He was injured Saturday afternoon by the collapse of a piece of iron roof and was precipitated to the floor of the. new firefoom, about 60 feet below. His scalp was badly cut and he was painfully injured about the body. It was feared at lirst that he was fatally hurt, but he revived after a time. It is not known to a certainty yet whether or not he was injured internally. T. Jenkins, who was also hurt in the accident, suffered but slight injuries and was able to go to his home in Scranton.

Dclmas replied a lid for an hour the wordy battle waged back and forth. The negroes returned to the barracks after committing the assault on the town, and many soldiers assisted in the hurried cleaning of the guns for the inspection which followed soon after the shooting ceased.

Among llios" in attendance were Attorney Fred, ikeler, of Columbia county, and Attorney Campbell, of Wilkesbarre, who represented Hazle township, also Attorney W. W. Hall, of West Pittston, representing West Pittston borough, and C'. H. Foster, represent inn (lie West Pittston school board. The Hazle township attorneys made an argument before the commissioners to the effect that the practice of the commissioners in dividing the aggregate assessment was arbi•' .iiyiind against tbr law. The Wwl I'ittston representatives coincided in this view of the matter. However, the commissioners gave no indication as to what they intended to do in regard to the assessment. Several of the West Pittston borough assessments were taken up for consideration, among them beiitg that of the Lehigh Valley plot in the lower end of the borough. The ground is assessed bv the acre, and the borough and school board representatives held that this was unjust, claiming that it should be assessed by the lot, inasmuch as it lias been plotted into lots, is on the market and adjoins ground on all sides that is assessed by the lot. Mr. Rockefeller, however, is said to be much in favor of the growth of education. and to the furtherance of this end he has done much in his will. He believes that education will make this country the greatest in the world and that every cent contributed toward that object will help to make better citizens and better Christians.

To Build Model Tenement*. The bill introduced by Senator ratlin repealing the treasurer's fee on mercantile license paid by merchants lias been signed bv Governor Stuart. For several years a movement has been on foot to repeal this bill, but it was always defeated. The fee charged for mercantile licenses has been $t.fD0.

His coat hung over the side of the beam, and tjie head of a get screw; that was in the shaft caught in the pocket of the coat. Instantly young I'echtold was dragged from Ills seat on the beam and was whirled a number of times around the shaft. The shaft was so close to the side of the •breaker that, as the boy's body was carried around, his legs and arms came in violent contact, with the limbers. Then the coat pocket gave way. and the limp body fell a distance of ten feet to the floor of the breaker. Medical assistance was summoned as quickly as possible and the young man was made as comfortable as possible at the breaker, after which he was taken in an ambulance to the hospital. A careful examination made at the hospital revealed that the young man's both legs were broken, as also was- one of his arms.

There is also a bill before the legislature to repeal the entire mercantile license law, but it is not receiving much support and will not stand much of a chance of passing. The revenue from mercantile licenses amounts to about $.1,000,000 a year for the State, and it is claimed that tho abolish- | ment of t lie mercantile tax would seriously reduce State revenues. objection to it What is known as the corkscrew pal in is a familiar plant to West Indians.

It is said that these palm leaves invariably wind themselves like a corkscrew. from right to left, going up. but occasionally freak plants have been noticed where the direction was reversed. This is. however, a very rare occurrence. The corkscrew palm is purely decorative. It grows to a height of from sis to ten feet and reaches a diameter of four to six.

The articles stolen were as follo'.s: One gold chain with a valuable stone valued at $100, one gold watch valued at $50, one lorgnette valued at $128, one pansy shaped pin with diamond chip worth $35.

Captain Wendel has been indicted on the charge of obtaining $2,iiOO from the state treasury b.v submitting false bills for hiring horses for drills or parades. There are other charges against him. Wendel Court Martial Opens, Much excitement was created on1 Parsonage street by the sound of shooting yesterday afternoon. People rushed from their houses and saw an Italian racing up the street, pursued by Pollc'eman Campbell, of the borough force. The ofliccr did the shooting in order to stop his prospective quarry, but tho Italian did not frighten so easily and he made his way to a boarding house at the upper end of the-street. When he rushed in the boarding boss lock.'d the door and refused admittance to the offlcter. Campbell turned the case over to the State Constabulary. The prisoner was in jail about two months ago on some charge or other and be broke away from the bastile with a companion. The police have been keeping an eye out for the pair. Yesterday Campbell .sighted one of them and the chase commenced. The conference Is Intended to glvfl opportunity for full and free discussion of the subject by men of all shndes of opinion with the hope that the outcome will be practical and construe, tive recommendations. Among the Spaniards who won fame ns discoverers and conquerors In America only a very few died peacefully. Here Is a list of some of the more important who suffered at the hands of fate: Columbus died broken hearted, Itoldln anil Bobudilla were drowned, Ovaudo was harshly superseded. Las Casus sought refuge In a cowl, Ojeda died in extreme poverty. Enclso was deposeil by his,own men, Nlouessn perished miserably by the cruelty of his party. Yasco Nunez de Ralboa was disgracefully beheaded, Narvaez was Imprisoned in a tropical dungeon and afterward died of hardship, Cortes was dishonored, Alvarado was destroyed in ambush, Altnagro was garroted. Piaarro was murdered and his four brothers cut off, and there was no end to the nssnssinntions and executions of the secondary chiefs among the energetic and daring adventurers. This announcement was generally regarded as a victory for Dolphin M Iteltnas. the one lawyer for Thaw who. it is said, insisted from the first that Jerome's experts should not be fjues tioned at all by the defense. COUNTERFEITERS GIVEN HEARING Thaw will, it is said, know his fate by next Saturday night.
