BRYAN'S TOliU.
Welcomed by Great Cr< wds at

A NEWSPAPER HONORED.
Fearless B'yan Threatens N?w

Out cf the Watered
Stocks
During the past ten days Bryan has
has boon speaking in \V< st Virginia,
Maryland, Dolawaro, Pennsylvania,
Now.lersoy and New York to immense
orowds. Ho arrived in Philadelphia
Thursday morning. Ho was osoortcd by
Mio Demooratio city oommittoo of
Philadelphia. W'hon ho arrived at the
Broad etrcot station of tho Pennsylvania
railroad ho was grcotcd by a
mass'of pooplo that jammed tho big
train tloor so oomplotely that thorc was
soarooly room for his parly to make its
way to tho street. Tho streets surrounding
tho station wore a'so crowded
with thousands of people curious to sec
tho Demooratio candidate.
At 11 o'oloek Mr Bryan was driven to
tho cthoo of tho Philadelphia Times
Ho was mot by Col. A. K MoCluro,
tho veteran editor of that paper, and
escorted to a baloouy on tho second
floor of tho building. Thousands of
pooplo orowdod tho streets and oheerc?>
him. Mr. Bryan was introduced by Cob
MoCluro, and spoke in part as follows:
"I am glad to bo ablo to stop a moment
in this oity, and 1 am moro do
lighted to spoak to you from tho build
ing whero this paper is so intt lligcntly
edited for Amorioan as against Kuropoan
ideas. 1 believe tho only reason
our principles aro not as stioDg in tho
east as in tho west is beoauso tho east
has not tho sauio opportunity as the
west. Our party is not the party of tho
few, but tho party of tho massos. It
socks no spcoial privileges for some,
, , but equal rights for all Tho Deuiooratio
party is making a canvass on a
platform that lakos its position on
every quostion, but tho Bopublioan
party is oonduotiug a campaign on a
platform that conceals overy issue. It
dees not rovoal its position beoauso it
knows thas if it makes its principles
plain tho opponents wiil repudiate
ihom. .lust rotnembor, when that pirty
met hero in tho early days of our forefathers
tho Dcolatation of Indepcndonoo
was its platform. Hut whon it
mot horo this yoar tho Declaration of
Indopondenoo was ignorod altogothcr
Tho Republican party stands for despostism
in tho Philippines. Tho Republican
party has no remedy for any
evils that confronts tho farmers, Instoad,
it congratulates tho farmer on
good rains, tho laboring man ou his
lull dinnor pail, as if ho wcro all
stomaoh. I want you to know that tho
full dinnor pail argument docs not moot
a rosponeo from thoso who carry the
dinner pail. Thoy want somothing
more; thoy want roliof from taxes and
from government by injunction; thoy
want representation in tho president's
oabinot; thoy want settlement of disputes
by arbitration; thoy want laws
that mako it an otfenso to organizo tho
trusts. 1 recommended that you road

Democrat, <x Gov Pattison,
who lias just returnod from Puorto liioo

PEAKS AT TRENTON.
Mr. Brvan mado two Hpcoohos at Trcn
ton, N. J., Thursday, tho tirst in Tay
lor opera houso and tho seoond at an
opon air mooting do was splendidly
reoeivod at both plaoos. Responding
to tho opora houso mooting, whoro tho
Demooratio clubs of tho State wore
holding thoir annual oonvontion, Mr.
Bryan said:
"Tho Ropublioan party says everything
is all right; that tho farmer is
happy; that tho laboring man has a
full dinner pail, and that nobody ought
to oomplain of prosont oonditions Our
reply is all right. Lot every man who
is satisfied with his oonditions, who bo
lievos ho is onjoying his fair sharo of
earth's blessings and tho government's
proteotion, who thinks that things aro
all right voto the Ropublioan tiokot.
I am perfectly oontont to draw tho
lino and let all thoso who think that
there is no necessity for bettor things
vote tho Ropublioan tiokot if i oan havo
the votes of all thoso who boliovo
things oan bo malo hotter by better
laws."
Mr. Bryan denounood private monopoly
as both dangerous and oontrary
to the moral laws. Ho addod:
"Tho trust magnate who usoso a mo^
nopoly as a means for extortion is upon
th? nfttnn mnral nlann an a
*nan wM "'os out at night with his
The general e'vVPOn and takos thoir
ncx t Tuesdft eft ^ *U1 thorn; when tho
a*0 v^fP8fffiSfican party pormits tho monopoly
to exist it amonds tho commandment
and makoH it read: 'Thou shalt not
steal?on a small scale.' Tho trust is
wrong from an ooonomio standpoint,
for if you will cxamino you will find
that tho first thing that tho trust
does when it gels oontrol of an industry
is to raiso tho prioos. Thon tho
consumers suffer. The next thing is to
shut down tho factories to roduoo production,
booauso a high prioo lessons
tho domand, and thon tho trust throws
on to tho laboring man who is idle,
waiting for a job, the expenses of keeping
up the high prioos.
"It is wrong economically for another
reason. It discourages invontivo
genius, for if all men who have skill
in one oooupation arc under ono man,
<n
??
then they hang upon him It in tho
hope of independence, it is tho hopo
that jou oan somr day be your own
niRB'.cr that stimulates people to highest
endeavor; and when you tako this
hopo out of tho human breast and plant
despair in its plaoo you start downward
toward tho lovol of the dark agos. And
it is bad for tho laboring man, for if a
laboring man has genius and skill, and
his employer docs not rooognizo his
skill and genius, another employer will.
Hut when thoro is but one omployor,
* lit II Kuni'in in at it uim-hhiiii, uuu a nunin-law
will do as woll as a nonius."
Koforring to his rouiodics for tlio
t mi -1 c, Mr. Mryau said:
"I am almost afraid lo suggost the
remedy down hero, for if wo suooeed in
s lueezing tho water out of the Now
.lersoy corporations you will havo a
tidal wave greater than that at Galveston.
You will havo a Hood for a
while, hut you will havo honest corporations
afterwards.
"Why should corporations organized
in New .Jersey bo permitted to proy on
tho whole oountr> ? Why should a oor
poration organized in this Hiato bo per
mitted to enter into interstato oommercc
until it first shows that it is go:
i i. J ~ _ i a : 1 : J
i ug uui iu uu a jegu i maiu uusiuoss auu
not going out art a high way in an? 1
hciievo that if you will provide, first,
that a corporation shall havo tho water
t<iue(zed out. and, Hcoond, that it shall
show that it not trying to monopo
lizo aoy branch of busiiOHH, and then
provido for a revocation of the lioonso
if tho conditions aro violated, 1 bolicvo
you could destroy every private mo
nopoly engaged in interstate ooaimeroo
and prevent tho creation of new ones.
I am not worrying about those corporations
confined to tho State, for if tho
corporations prey upon tho pooplo of
the State and upon them alono, I am
willing to leave tho pooplo to light it
out with their local corporation and let
it livo as long as they havo anything
for tho corporation to cat. lint when a
oooporation loavos a Stato and goes
into other Statos, I am not willing to
leavo it to tho Stato. I am not willing
to put 14 States at the uieroy of a trust
merely because it hires ono Stato to lot
it stay thero while it plundoratho other
4 1 States."
Closing his speech Mr. Uryan made
an earnest appeal for oampaign work
until tho oIoho of tho campaign, and
asked his supporters not to hot on rosultM,
saying in part:
' If you havo any inonoy to sparo put
it in the oauipaign fund instead of betting
with it. Do not try to boat tho
Republicans at their gauio. Whon you
bet you bet your inonoy; when a trust
magnate hots ho hots other people's
money. A newspaper friond of mino
gave somo good advico tho othor day.
Ho told tho Democrats that if they
would put their money in tho campaign
fund tlioy would got satisfaction
enough out of success to make thorn
willing to spend tho monoy that way;
and if wo lost it was no gratification to
givo tho Republicans Democratic
money as well as a victory iu this campaign.
Wo cannot go to tho great corporations
and ask them to contribute
bcoause wo do not intond that they
should mako it hack out of tho peoplo.
Wo havo got to make a peoplo's fight,
and you who aro interested iu this fight
ought to support tho fight, not only
with your votes, but with your work
and with tho monoy that you oan
sparo."
Mr Bryan's outdoor meeting in
Trenton was a tremendous suooess,
both in point of attondanoo and enthusiasm
on tho part yf tho orowd. Ho
spoke standing in his oarriago and
said:
"I am willing to risk tho issues of
this campaign in tho hands of tho
American people. If tomorrow morning
tho voters woro permitted to go to
the polls and write on their ballots
their opinions on tho questions before
the oc.untry, with no one to intimidato,
I have no doubt that wo would carry
this country by a popular majority

to my mind is, what effoot will ho pro
duocd by tho coercion that is now boing
attempted by those who stand at tho
hoad of? great corporations. I went to
Auburn, N, Y., the other day and I
lcarnod that tho head of a large manufacturing
establishment has threatened
to olose his works in oaso 1 was eleoted
I do not know how many threats like
that will bo made. I do not know what
effcot such threats will have, but I am
going to givo to you laboring men an
answer to such a threat. VVhonevcr
your employer tells you that you will
lose your job if you vote for mo, you
tell him that if tho country is half as
prosperous as he says, it is expected
you ought to bo ablo to find another
job vory soon; but if thero is no plaoo
for a man to work if ho losses the job
ho now has, thoro is no prosperity in
this oountry to boast about.
"I ask you when will you be stronger
to fight this battle than you are now?
If after all this period of boasted prosperity
you have not laid up onough
monoy to stand an idlonoss of a woek,

A TRIUMPHANT MARCH.
A dispatoh from Jersoy City says:
"The first day of Mr. Bryan's tour of
Now Jersey which olosod horo with six
meotingft Friday night, may he doHoribcd
as a mad ruah. From tho time
ho entered Washington Park, opposito
Philadelphia, until ho olosod his last
mooting hero ho had made 15 spooohes,
tho average of thoir duration was greater
than usual. Ho spoke in suooession
at Washington Park, liivorside,
Burlington, Tronton (twioo,) Prinoeton
Junction, New Brunswick, Elizabeth,
Marion and Jorsoy City (six timos.)
His journey through the Si ate waa a
surprise to thoso aooompanying Mr.
Bryan, if not to him, for in few Statos,
if any, has he had largor or more do
monstartive audienoes. His meeting
tf %\
CONWAY. S
at Washington Park was almost a rooord
lircaker in both of these respects,
and his meetings in Trenton and his
rcooption in thisoity were only second
to tho Washington Park ineoting in
numhors and in feeling displayed.
Probably no oaudidato for tho presidonoy
was evr so much jostled about
and pushed around in ono day's tiiuo
as Mr. Bryan was today. At most
stopping plaoea tho polioo found it iin
possible to protoot him from tho hundreds,
not to say thousands, of persons
who thronged his pathway and followed
hiui wherovcrho went."
"1 havo addressed a great many
meetings of oollego boys, but I never
had a nicer meeting than this in tuy
life " This is what Mr. liryan said to a
number of tho 1'inooton oollego hoys
who had followed him to his train from
his mooting plaoo at Princeton Junction
this afternoon. Tho meeting was ono
of tho most orderly that Mr. Hryan
has had in hiswholo campaign tour.
Thoro was not au interruption from boginning
to oud. Whou Mr. Hryan arrived
ho was greotcd with tho oollego
yoil, and thero was a similar demonstration
made upon his departure. His
address thoro was entirely to tho students.
A RECORD RKE4KER.

0. E Alvord, note tellor of tho First
National hank, of Now York is a do
faultcr to tho amount of $700,000
Alvord has not yet been apprehended.
Ho had boon an employe of the bark
for over twenty >cnrs. Tho First Na
tional is ono of tho largest banking institutions
in the city and itH president
is George F Baker, who in also president
of the Asto National bank and a
linanoial adviser of tho Astor family.
Tho bank is located at No. 2 Wall street
and has a capital of $500,(MM) and a surplus
of $5,000,000. Tho bank gave
out tho following statement lato Wednesday:
"The noto teller, who has bopn in
tho employ of tho First National bank
for many years is a defaulter to a largo
amouut. His operations have eon
tinned for a considerable period, and
havo boon skilfully concealed through
a manipulation of his baianoo book.
Thodisoovory was made by ono of tho
bank's employes a few days after the
oomplotion of an examination of tho
b?nk by tho United States oxaminer.
During tho oontinuanoo of his peculations
periodical examinations havo been
mado by several distinct corps of examiners
repiesenting tho comptrollers
department, all expert accounts; and
tho bank has also had frci'tont examinations.
neither of whiohjhas developed
any irregularity. l lie aggiogato ol tho
falso entries amounting to $700,000
has beon oharged off on tho books of
tho bank out of tho reservo fund, without
diminishing tho surplus and profits
of tho hank as reported in its last published
statouicnt. 11 is txpeoted that
tho shortago will ho materially reduced
by a substantial sum, of which thoro is
fair prospect of recovery."
Alvord was oapablo and experienood,
and tho discovery of his defalcations
niado after ho was gono, was a com
plotc surpiiso to evor>body. The loss
of money is hardly disturbing tho
bank, which is 0110 of tho strongost in
tho city. Alvord is about 50 yoars old
and has a wifo and throe children, ilis
homo was at Mount Vornon and ho
was rcspcoted there as woll as in tho
street, ilis habits wcro good. It is
bolievod that ho lost money in stook
spcoulat ions, and that somo of the
monoy oan bo rooovorod. Mo disap
pearod about a week or ten days ago.
Tho crime has boon known long
onough to tho officers now to enable
them to eay with somo assurance that
Alvord did his work alone. No ono

out by tho vioo president oontainod all
ho had to say in regard to tho dofalcation.
Whon asked if Alvord had boon
apprehonded, tho vioo prosidont said:
"I don't think ho has." At tho looal
offioo of tho dotootivo agency whioh
usually has ohargo of bank eases, it
was said that officials of that oompany
had hoard nothing of tho defaloation
as yet and that they had not, at tho
tiino boon assigned to tho oaso.
It has not yot dovoloped how the
noto teller was able to put his hands on
so inuoh money, but ono of tho dirootors
is reported to have said that Alvord
was onablod to take suoh a largo
sum because as noto tellor he was in
ohargo of tho mail. This ho opened

ho had to be cspeoially skilful to make
his accounts balanoo. This dirootor
admitted that ho was at a loss to aooount
foT the failure of the bank examiners
to disoover Alvord's irtegularities
at their last examination.
A Hopeful Sign.
Sonotor Jonos is higsly elated oyer
the onormouB inoreaso in registration
in Greater Now York. Ho says it indicates
that tho city will roll up a
tremendous majority for Bryan and
StcTonson and that the ltepublioan
voto of the state will not equal that of
tho oity. The increase of nearly 70,000
in the.Greater Gity is regardod as ominous
by the Kepublioan loadors.

having caused the death ot Jonirc 1
B ssohictcr, tho ycung woman whoso
body was found last Friday on tho outskirts
of l'aterson. Developments
show that tho oircumstaooo surround
ing tho young womau's death from ono
of the most rcmarkablo and revolting
crimes whioh has over been brought to
light in this country. The police have
tho tivo persons moro or less concerned
in tho atlair iu custody. From statements
and confessions made they have
been ab!o to traco the course of tho
girl from 8 HO Thursday evening until
she met lur ucatli, atiu the travels of
Iter body afterward are also fairly well
known.
Shortly after S o'clock Miss llossohiotcr
passed Kent's drug store at
l'atoraon, and near it met Andrew
Camboll. 'l'hoto was a short oonveisation
and thcu the pair walked down
Main street. Somewhere en route thoy
wore joined by Uoorgo Walter MaoAlistir
and Wir. Heath. The four
ontcrod Christopher Baal's saloon. Hero
drinks woio served. Finally one of tho
men tolophonod to tho Krio depot for
a cab, and August Sohultors rcspondod.
This cabman has been tho main source
of tho polioo's information and has
given a detailed story of what occurred.
It was in the neighborhood of 10
o'olook when the four 111011 lifted tho
partly unoonsoioua giil into Sohulter's
rig. It is alleged that after tho hack
man had been culled, ono of tho men
asked for another rounds of drinks, and
into that served to tho girl was poured
tho oontcnts of a via), oontaiuing a
species of ' knock out" drops. The
men dirooted the driver to tako them
to a road house, but thoy found tho
nlatc had closed and ioncatcd ram inas
produced uo results. The party then
started baok to tho oity.
In a lonoly spot tho haok was stopped
and tho girl lifted out of it and laid
upon a blanket by tho roadsido. In
what followed, tho haoktnan and ono
of tho four, i? is said, had no part. Tho
Btory is too revolting to dosoribo. Tho
haokmau claims that ho did not leave
his seat on tho oab. lie is unablo to
say whether tho girl was alivo or dead
when she was lilted baok into tho oab.
Ho rciuombors that ho was told to drivo
down beside tho rivor bank, lioro tho
girl, apparontly lifeless, was lifted out
of tho oab and her head and faoo
bathed wi h rivor water. Aftor a long
timo spont in trying to revive hor tho

was again liltod into tho oab and tho
haokui&n was ordorod to drivo like mad
to l)r. Wiley's hiouso.
l)r. Wiloy was not at homo and tho
party hurried to tho rosidonoo of Dr.
Townsond, on Patcrson stroot. Tho
physioian was arousod and told to oomo
down stairs at once and givo iiumcdiato
attention to a woman who had boon
injurod. Ho was told not to wait to
dross. Ho slipped on a bath robo and
wont out to tho oarriago door. Ho foil
of tho girl's pulso and then steppod
baok, saying his soivioos were not nocded
as the girl was dead. Ooo of tho
noon oursou tho dootor for a fool and
ooinmandcd him to rcvivo hor. Tho
dootor turned and started baok into
tho house. Tho dootor was otterod any
amount of money if ho would try, but
ho persisted it was usoloss for him to
try as death had oomo long before.
Tho oairiago thon drovcaway. Thoro
was a oonsulation among tho mon. Ono
wantod to tako the iiody: to tho girl s
homo and loavo it thoro. Tho other
thrco refused to oonsidcr this and insisted
upon dropping the body upon
tho roadway. It was finally resolved
to drive out into liorgon oounty, by
way of tho Thirty-third stroot bridgo.
When tho bridgo wasroaohbd tho driver

soverd fjaturoi not horotoforo marked

Homo a hugo orowd gathorod in tho
public squaro, and tho govornor addroHscd
them from tho ba'oony to whioh
ho was driven from tho train. Two
crowds of small boys followed his carriage,
those on ono sido shouting,
"Hurrah for Bryan," whilo thoso on
tho other sido tried to drown their

While tho govornor was spoaking
a orowd of juvonilos who had gathorod
immediately beneath tho govornor kopt
trying to annoy him by thoir baistcr
ous eonuuot. rno govornor tinally referred
to thorn, Haying:
"It is perfcotly oharaotoristio that
thoHo who aro afraid to hear tho truth
should try to drown it by noiso, aod
that tlioso who aro afraid to talk themselves
should sond children of irnrnaturo
ago to yell for thorn."
Tho boys oontinuod thoir orios of
"Hurrah for Hryan," "What tho matter
with Bryan?" "Ho's all right," and
again tho governor said:
"Ono thing, if Mr. Bryan should
oomo hero again I ask that ovory Republican
givo him a rospootful hearing."
whioh remark was loudly applaudod.
Continuing, when tho applauro oeaeod,
ho said: "Booauso tho man or boy
wl o takes tho opposito oourso show*
himself ci:hor to bo or about to bo a

Tho govornor naid it was ominontly
proper that tho advooatos of Mr. Bryan
