ROME, Aupr. 11 The consecration of the Rev. J. J. Harty, of St. Louis, as archbishop of Mni.a t .-k plate to-day in the Franciscan Church of St. Anthony. Added interest to the ceremony was given by the fact that the first archbishop to be cons.- 1 crated under Pius X was an American. Cardinal Satolli officiated, and was assisted by two bishops. The new archbishop was annointed with holy oil on the temples and on palms of his hands. He was then given the Episcopal ring, symbolic of his marriage with the church; the mitre and the pastorate staff of power. Archbishop Harty then ofTtred Cardinal Satolli two lighted torches, two loaves of bread and two small gilded barrels of wine as symbols of his love towards his consecrator. This offering was followed by the kis3 of peace from Cardinal Satolli. The service was accompanied by sweet music. It was a solemu moment when the new archbishop walked through the church, imparting his first Episcopal benediction to the kneeling congregation. Among those present at the consecration were the Rev. Dennis O'Connel. rector of the Catholic University at Washington; Monsignor Kennedy, with the members of the American College; Bishop Hendrick, of Cebu, and his brother, Father Joseph Hendrick; Monsignor Edward W. Fowler and Father David Fleming, formerly superior general of the Franciscans. After the ceremony refreshments were served in the refectory of the Franciscan monastery. The fact that the first American archbishop of Manila was consecrated in the church, which is the seat of the general house of the Franciscan monks, one of the four orders objected to in the Philippines, was much commented on. Cardinal Satolli later gave at his residence in the basilica of St. John Lateran a dinner in honor of Archbishop Harty. at which were present Rector O'Connel. Mgr. Kennedy, Mgr. Fowler, Mgr. Tecchi, secretary of the Cousistorlal Congregation, and Bishops Panigi and Toneti, who assisted Cardinal Satolli at the consecration ceremony. Toasts were drunk to the Pope, President Roosevelt and to the success of Archbishop Harty in his labors in the Philippines. Archbishop Harty will leave Rome next Wednesday. Cardinal Oibbous was unable.to assist at the consecration of Archbishop Harty because to-day being the fete day of his titular church. Santa Maria Dl Trastevere, he had to assist at mass there. The Cardinal left Rom to-night for Switzerland, where he will remain some time with a friend to recover from his labors In Rome. The cardinal, however js only suffering from a slight lassitude; otherwise he is perfectly well. Before his departure he received most cordial visits from all the cardina's still in Rome, who wished to muuifest their esteem and affection for him. Speaking to the Associated Pres? representative. Cardinal Gibbons said the conclave and the election of the Pope will remain the most precious remembrance of his life. He repeated that he felt the greatest satisfaction at the election of Pins X. adding thai he was proud and happy to have been able to has- the American pilgrimage received the day after the election of the new ope. Th ir r ception. be said, being the first of all. was an event that neither Pius X nor the Americans will ever forget. r.tcrcisetl Right of Veto. VIENNA, Ausr. 15. A semi-official communication explains that Austria exercised her right of veto at the recent conclave, "with the view of securing the election of a pacilic and conciliatory Pope." "The election of Plus X," says the Commique, "wjho is conciliatory, yet firm, has been received everywhere with unanimous Satisfaction, ami has given ground for the hope that no friction or political considerations will arise prejudicial to Um sublime mission of the church. It was to olir interest that an election should be prevented which, according to recent experiences, might lead to differences which would upset the relations of the church and state. It is unnecessary to add that the action of the Austro-Hungarian government was not influenced by any other power." BRAKES FAIL TO HOLD. Coal Train Jniupi a Bad ;radc on the Jersey Central. WII.KKSBARRE. Pa., Aug. 13.-The brakes on a coal train on the Central Railroad of New Jersey failed to hold on the steep mountain grade near Ashley to-day and a big wreck was the result. The engine preceded the train to Ashley to take water and was about to start back to pick up the cars when they came dashing down the mountain side at a territic speed. They crashed into the locomotive and Charles Devitt, a brakeman, was caught in the wreck and fatally injured. He lost a leg and arm. Engineer Johnson, of another train, which was standing near by, was struck by flying debris and seriously injured. Eighteen cars and their contents were strewn over both tracks, delaying traffic for several hours. Brakeman and Tramps Killed. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 15. Harry B. Torbett, a brakeman, was killed and two other railroad men injured in a collision of freight trains on the Pennsylvania Railroad at Radnor, near here.

WAYS OF TRUST MAKERS A1RFD t ARtil MKVTS FOR APPOITMFT OF A RKt FIVFIl. rnivemul Tohneeo Company' Affairs Are BeceiviiiK a Thoroutch Overliuuliug in ev Jersey. NEWARK, N. J., Aug. 15. Argument in the application of Edwin A. McAlpin and others for the appointment of a receiver for the UnfreraaJ Tobacco Company was resumed to-day before Vice-Chancellor PitMJ by Attorney General Robert H. McCarter, of counsel for the defendant corporation. Mr. McCarter said that when George P. and William H. Butler, Bourke Cockran and H. C. Wiesinger agreed to put money into the company, which was to be financed by Tilford, it was with the understanding that the voting trust should exist and that Frank Tilford and Kenry R. Wilson w re to remain with them in the attempt to fight the American Tobacco Company. But instead of doing so, Mr. McCarter .ald, Tilford and Wilson got out when they got what they wanted and did not consider the obligation they were under to others who had joined them in the enterprise. He edaimed that the allegation of insolvency made by the complainants was false. He s;iid that the fact that the corporation wanted moru capital was no proof of Insolvency. At the done of Mr. McCarter's argument Wheeler H. Feckham followed for the defense. He began by reading the text of the new Massachusetts corporation law, but was interrupted by Vice Chancellor Pitney. "The Massachusetts judiciary is degenerating." announced the vice chancellor, "and I don't consider their opinion any more. Thirty years ago it was different." When Mr. Peckharn resumed by referring to the vice chsncellor's opinion of Massat husetfl aa similar Ho that of the opinion pressed by the court a few days ago regarding Wall street and stock Inflation, he was .iKiiin interrupted by the vice chancellor, who said: '"You know and I know, and everybody ought to know that stock is inflated to unload it on the public. I consider it a fraud, and the people who buy are fools. The men win. inflate t'he stock take advantage of the old adage 'All fools are not yet dead. It may bo an old-fashioned ides, but it is ground into me and I am afraid I cannot shake it off." .Mr. Peefcham then concluded his argument. HITCH IN THE PLANS SCHEME TO IMPORT TIN ORB GETS A IKTBACK. Malayan Miilr liuponc an Kiport Duty on (he Metal So High nn to Be Prohibit U e. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. W a tttIT NCHTOX. Auk. 1 Importations of pig tin into the United States in the past year were larger tiian in any preceding year, aggregating SS.OUO.000 pounds, valued at more than $23 .txtf.iJOO. In 1890 the importations were 35,000, OOO pounds, valued at about $,,000.000. The rapid growth in the use of tin In the United States, coupled with the fact that practically none of the article is produced in this country, suggested the importation of tin in the form of ore, aud the smelting of the ore and manufacture of the pig tin at home. A plant for this p. i-pose has bcou erected in the United States, . nd the shipment of ore from the Malayan pa Plnanui was about to begin when the Department of Commerce and Labor received word through the reports of the United States consul at Straits Settlements, that an export duty of $30 a picul (133 pounds) had been levied on tin ore exported; the purpose of this tax on the ore being to prevent its exportation in the natural state, and to retain for the people of the Malayan states the profits of smelting. Whether this will terminate the project of importing the ore into the United States for smelting cannot yet be toid. The Malayan states now produce more than half of tho tin which enters into the commerce of the world, their total shipments in 1901 being co.ouu tons, out of a total of 89,000 tons entering the markets of the world in that year. Next In importance in the tin product of the world after that of the Malayan states, is that of the Dutch East Indies, which marketed about 20,000 tons in 1901; Bolivia. 10.000 tons; Australia, 4,000 tons, and Wales, 4,000 tons. Whether the proposed smelters of the United States will be able to obtain ore for their new works elsewhere, now that the importation from the Malayan states is practically prohibited by the new export duty, is not known. It is, however, an interesting fact that threefourths of the world's tin comes from parts of the world not far distant from the Philippine Islands, and (his fact, coupled with the growing demand for tin in the United States, may lead to careful examination as to the possibility of tin production in the Fhilippines.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Harris.on J. Barrett, nephew of James N. T ner, of Indiana, former attorney general for the Postoffice Department, was put through the 'sweating " process by the postotfice inspectors to-day. Barrett was formerly connected with the law division of the department, and subsequently represented "get-rich-quick" concerns which are said to have benefited through decisions handed down by the former assistant attorney general. Barrett is understood to have been responsible for the decisions. It cannot be learne-d that the conference to-day was productive of any results so far as the investigation of the law division is concerned. The grand jury here will meet next wet k to consider postottiee cases and it is expected that several indictments will be handed doWn. This grist is expected to be the last. Tourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow has concluded his labors so far as running down illegal transactions are concerned, and will devote himelf from now on to preparing his report to the President. Postmaster General Payne was questioned to-day concerning the case of George . Beavers, who is supposed to be keeping his person just out of reach of the arm of the law. The postmaster general said he did not propose to criticise the course of United States District Attorney Young of Brooklyn in this conneetion. "It is entirely out of the hands of the department," said Mr. Payne. "We have confidence that the Department of Justice will causeMr. Beavers s aiTCSt when he is wanted. There is no disposition to show Beavers any immunity whatsoever. 1 do not hesitate to say that Beavers will be prosecuted to the lull extent." Fourth Assistant Bristow was asked if Um postoftice inspectors were looking for Beavers.

ORllt Iv CAMsl TO IMJ1 V.V APOMS THE SI MMER OF 1 S".0. lie Is to lie en trul Fiu re nt Hell 11 ion of His Family at Knirvievr. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. DANVILLE, Ind., Aug. 15. At the approaching reunion of the McCormlck family to be held at Fairview Park Aug. 24 undoubtedly one of the central figures of interest will be Amos McCormick, of Cartersburg, this county, who will celebrate bis eighty-fourth birthday Aug. 23, and is Etill as vigorous in mind and body as the average man of sixty. Mr. McCormick is not only one of the pioneers of central Indiana, the oldest living settler of Indianapolis, but enjoys the unique distinction of having once been stolen by the Indians. He was born at Connersville Aug. 2), He accompanied his father, the Rev. Samuel McCormick, to Indianapolis in the summer of 1820. His father and two brothers, John and James, opened up the first road into what is now the city of Indianapolis during the winter before, cutting their way through the woods from Rushville to the east bank of White river, where they arrived Feb. 26, 1820. Samuel and James helped to build for their brother John the first cabin on the ground where Indianapolis now stands. There were in this first party from Connersville eight besides the three McCormick brothers. All hands immediately on their arrival went to work to put up a cabin and by night of the day they arrived the walls were up for th6 double cabin. Samuel then cleared five acres of ground and in the spring put in a crop of corn. Then he went back to Connersville after his family and moved them to the new purchase, making his home in one end of the double cabin until he could build a cabin for himself. In the fall of 1S21 a strange band of Indians came to Samuel's house and demanded something to eat. They were given food by Mrs. McCormick, the men being at work some distanee away In the thicket. As the Indians left they picked up Amos D.. then about two years old. His mother told them to put the child down, but they shook their heads, moving ou, paying no attention to Mrs. McCormick's cries. The men heard her, and rushing to the house, learned the trouble. Taking their guns, they followed the Indians and soon rescued the boy. who. after these elghiy-two years, lives to tell of the occurrence. Several months afterward a band of Indians supposed to be the same came by the McCormbk house and presented young Amos with a tomahawk. This almost caused indirectly the death of the little fellow. With a playmate, he went out in the brush to "cut trees" with his new toy. The father had a fierce cow which was kept in a small inclosure made by a high fence. The boys wandered to the far side of the inclosure aad wishing to return home they climbed over the fence and started through the pen. The cow made for them, knocking oung AsBOfl down and throwing him in the air again and again. An Irish woman ran to tell his mother of the trouble, and having some difficulty In making the mother understand the trouble, several minutes passed before the men could be called to orce the tow away. The angry animal had torn all the clothing off the boy. Mr. McCormick Is undoubtedly the oldest living male rident of Indianapolis. Thar is a woman -living who was there before him his cousin. Mrs. Tabltha Marts, of Arcadia, md. She is the daughter of his uu'-le John, who built the cabin and who, with her twin plater Lavina. now dead, accompanied her parents to their new home In February. lWn. Amos M'-Cormlck has the first dining table ever used in Indianapolis, it was

brought from Connersville In 1830. The commissioners who were sent out by the State to locate the new site for a capital not only ate t..eir meals from this table, but did their writing on it In the John McCormick e'abin. which was a "hotel."

C, Congressman Henry R. Gibson, of the Second Tennessee district, becomes heir to between $50,000 and $100.000. Mrs. Graves's son, president of a bank in Seattle. Wash., was a college mate of Gibson, and it is said that Mre. Graves at that lime toök recognition of the good qualities of the future congressman and aided him nnanelally in securing his education.

KILLED BY HER HUSBAND KAXSAS CITV WOMAN W HO DEFIED KANSAS CITY STRIKERS. f Marder and Suicide Committed by George Ii. Evans. Who Had Been .Sued for Divorce. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 15.-Mrs. Lillie Maude Evans, wife of George B. Evans, manager of the American Transfer Company, was murdered in her home in the southern part of this city early to-day. H r husband killed her and later shot himself. She had tiled suit against him for divorce on Wednesday of this week. Evans could not be found when the tragedy was discovered, but after a long search his body was found in Mount St. Mary's Cemetery, two miles from the scene of the murder. Ha had shot himself in the head. The murder was most cold-blooded and occurred while Mrs. Evans was asleep. According to the hired girl she was aroused by shots and the loud voice of a man. The man, according to the girl, fired two shots at Mrs. Evans, both of which went wide of the mark. Then, catching hold of Mrs. Evans by her hair, he dragged her to the side of the bed nearest him, deliberately placed his revolver against the back of her neck and fired. The shot literally blew the woman's head off. The murderer then escaped. Mrs. Evans, who was twcnty-pix years old, was a society woman. She married Evans in 1S. East Wednesday she filed suit for divorce, alleging drunkenness and cruelty, and at the same time brought suit demanding that her husband pay $N0 for rent of the building occupied by the company of which he was manager. The property, Mrs. Evans asserted, belonged to her, and in addition she asked an order restraining Evans from disposing of two valuable race horses and other property which she said also belonged to her. Mrs. Evans attracted much attention last March, eluring the teamsters' strike, by driving one of her husband s transfer wagone which the regular man refused to take out of the barns. Mrs. Evans made special trips perched n the seat of a big truck from her hsuband's barns and freight houses, driving fearlessly through crowds of jeering strikers. Once, when some of the strikers tried to cut the hors-s's l races, shq lashed the men with her whip and proceeded without being further molested. Two years ago Mrs. Evans also gained some notoriety by horsewhipping a man tho had attempted te flirt wiih her. Mrs. Evans b mJ feared that her husband Would kill her and had talked of her fears hurt night. Sin locked the deor of her room w Ii n she retired, but. by a strange fatality, unfaste'iied it during the night to gain fresh air. Bvaaa entered the house through the pantry window, near which his umbrella w.i found to-d.iy. and apparently went directly to ids wife's room. Mrs. Evans, awakened by the first two hots, WSJ heard to Scream. In a moment more, when the third shot had been tired, her screams ceased, and when the servant reached her room Mrs. Evans was dead. Miss Bettie Burns, a neighbor, slept with Urs, Evans and narrowly escaped being struck by the bullets fire! at Mrs. Evans. Miss Bumu awoke, sroiisofl by the shots, fired in quick succession and climbing over the dead body of her companion, a minute later sw ESvans standing in the middl. of the room. In the confusion that ensued he left the house unnoticed. Evans weal born in Kentucky thirty-eight yean SSJO and his father was sheriff of Bn athitt county. Evans s father was shot and killed as the result of a feud. Evans had lived in Kansas City for many years and is suit! to have married twice before. Ho married Idllie Maude Perry, the sixteen-year-old daughter of Mrs. EL C. Perry, a widow of Argentine, Kan. Evans built up a prosperous transfer business from $10,0uu given him by the woman he killed. GENERAL STAFF MEETS. First Conference Lader the ew Order of Army Control. WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.
