George W. Delamater, Once
Quay's Candidate for
Governor.
PURSUED BY EVIL LUCK
Once Conspicuous Banker and Poli
tician of Pennsylvania Who Split
Party, Blows Out Brains With
in Week After Son's Death.
PITTSBURG. Pa., Auk. 7. (Special.)
George Wallace Delamater, ex-State
Senator, Republican candidate for Gov
ernor In 1890, and for many years one
of Pennsylvania's conspicuous political
leaders, brought a long and eventful
career, dimmed by political and finan
cial reverses, to an abrupt end this
afternoon by shooting himself In the
Vight temple.
After carefully arranging all of his
private papers and insurance policies
and writing a farewell note to his son
" In-law, Shirley P. Austin, he accom
panied a friend to luncheon, returned
to his office, locked the door, and al
most immediately fired the shot that
ended his life.
Worry over business affairs and the
; sudden death of his only son, J. S.
Delamater, who was found dead about
a week ago, are believed to have
caused him to end his life.
Mr. Delamater was president of the
' Pennsylvania Steel Tie Company, and
heavily Interested In the American
Aluminum Coaling Company.
After the failure of the private bank
of Delamater & Company In Pittsburg
In 1890, Mr. Delamater went to Seattle,
where he remained until 1900, meeting
with many vicissitudes and reverses.
He returned to Pittsburg in 1900, and
since that time . he. had been engaged
in the Insurance business and had been
very successful, his Income ranging
from 110,000 to $15,000 per year.
Mr. Delamater Is best remembered aa
Senator Quay's defeated candidate for
Governor In 1890. Quay forced his
nomination on the Republican conven
tion against the violent opposition of
the Magee faction of Pittsburg, which
had strong allies in other parts of the
state. The latter faction, which had
supported Robert E. Pattison, Demo
crat, in 1882 and brought about his
election, again supported Mr. Pattison,
who received the Democratic nomina
tion. Mr. Delamater was then presi
dent of a bank at Meadville. He spent
money lavishly on hia campaign, tour
ing the state on a special train with
many speakers. He was defeated and
within a day or two a run on the bank
forced Its closing. He was arrested
for receiving deposits after he knew
the bank to be insolvent, which offense
is legally embezzlement. - He was ac
quitted, and with' the wreck of his for
tune, moved first to Tacoma, then to
i Seattle.
CHARGED WITH FORGERY
Duncan Campbell Sayers, Prominent
Episcopalian, in Trouble.
CHICAGO. Aug. 7. Duncan Campbell.
Sayer's, secretary of St. Paul's Cathedral
6ociety of Garden City, L. I., formerly a
member of the faculty of that Episcopal
institute, was arrested last night in this
. city, charged with forgery. The com
plainant named was Rev. Paul S. Swett,
a member of the governing committee of
the school, at the head of which are
Bishop Burgess, Alex Orr and George
Foster Peabody.
Mr. Sayers, who Is 63 years old and sin
gle, was taken to Garden City. No de
tails of the alleged forgery have yet been
disclosed, except the bare statement that
there were discrepancies in his accounts.
The many friends of the accused hope
that the trouble will prove due simply to
his ignorance of the proper way to keep
accounts. Mr. Sayers, while a member of
the faculty of Cathedral Institute several
years ago, risked his life in a vain at
tempt to save the school from being
blown up by the gas plant. The en
gineer had abandoned his post and there
was a call for volunteers to turn off the
pressure at the gas plant. Mr. Sayers
dashed to the basement. As he entered
the plant exploded. Sayers' nose was
blown off and he was disfigured for life.
Since then he has been very nervous and
Irritable and altogether changed. After
this incident the managers of St. Paul's
Cathedral voted him a pension of $1500 a
' year for life, and he was given the secre
taryship, the work attached to which' Is
light.
BIG CYANIDE MILLS BURN
Spectacular Fire In Colorado Makes
Hundreds Idle.
COLORADO SPRINGS. -Colo:, Aug. 7.
The Golden Cycle Mining ' Company's
$1,000,000 reduction plant located in the
foothills south of Colorado City, was
practically destroyed today by fire. Ihe
fire originated in the roasting rooms and
rapidly spread to other buildings which
cover an area of ten acres. Lack of
water and inadequate fire-fighting facili
ties made the work of the firemen diffi
cult and it was only by herotc -efforts
that the fire was finally brought under
control after three-fourths of the plant
hac" been destroyed. Thirty-seven freight
. cars were also consumed.
The ,flre was very spectacular. The
mills are so situated In the hills that an
excellent view of the conflagration could
be had from ail parts of Colorado Springs.
It is thought the destruction of the mills
will result in the closing of several mines
at Cripple Creek, thereby throwing hun
dreds of men out of employment.
The plant was formerly known as the
Telluride mills, owned by New York capi
talists, and -was Involved in the- mill
men's strike which terminated in the
Cripple Creek labor difficulties. Shortly
after the strike the mills closed down and
were taken over by St. Louis parties, who
rebuilt the plant. .The mill had been in
operation but a few weeks and Is the
largest cyanide plant In the West.
The loss is estimated at $700,000, with
$300,000 insurance.
BOMBS FOR MISSIONARIES
They Inject Religion by Trance and
Xutmeggers Object.
GREENWICH, Conn., Aug. 7. Resi
dents of the village of Pemberwlck
and nearby hamlets are stirred up over
the advent of a man and woman call
ing themselves field missionaries of
tna "Apostolic Faith." Their revival
ENDS
MISFORTUN
meetings have been well attended, and
stories which started of probable witch
craft and hypnotism have so inflamed
the country folk that their safety Is
threatened. Sunday night a mob gath
ered, and some one threw a bomb filled
with liquid Into a room in which a
meeting was In progress.! The liquid
burned the missionaries and filled the
room with a gas that almost suffocated
those present. Monday night another
crowd tore down a tent which the mis
sionaries had occupied and the torch
was applied. .
The missionaries describe themselves
as Brother Adolph de Rosa, a Portu
guese, and Sister Lucy M. Leatherman,
formerly a missionary in the Holy Land.
They deny that they practice hypnotism
in the generally accepted sense of that
term. They attribute the partial trance
state of their devotees at meetings to re
ligious fervor. Those who have been
converted to the Apostolic faith in Pem
berwick defend the missionaries. De
Rosa, whose life has been threatened, in
speaking of the charges made against
him, says: '
"Wo believe that our apostles have
the power of casting out devils and of
healing. We do not practice hypnotism.
Those brothers and sisters who were
seen upon the floor In the parlor were
held by a spell of religious fervor. I
am going to leave these parts imme
diately and sail lor roriugai.
Mrs- Leatherman, who says she is a
widow, -and that sho formerly lived
In Clinton Falls, Ind., made the fol
lowing statement:
"I may be a hypnotist, but if so I
practice only the hypnotism in which
a religious faith is drilled. I have
worked with Mother Baxter In London
and other well-known missionaries. I
met Brother de Rosa in California af
ter being converted to the faith.
"'We bolieve In the casting out or
devils.- While doing this we may wave
our hands and snap our fingers. These
movements may have given rise to the
report that we are hypnotists. We
will not continue our work further In
this locality."

SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 7. (Special.)

SOMETHING IN WIND
Mysterious Moves of Land-
Fraud Prosecutors.
BRISTOL TO LOS ANGELES
Conference With Heney Followed by
Trip, While Lawlor Comes to
Portland May Force Sale
of Railroad Land Grant.
SAN FRANCISCO; Aug. 7. (Special.)
. There appears to be a great deal of
mystery in the plans of the Govern
ment for further prosecution of the
land frauds In California and Oregon.
United States District Attorney W. C.
Bristol, of Portland, after a short stay
in San Francisco, during which he con
ferred with Francis J. Heney, has gone
south to Los Angeles, At the same
time the United States District Attor
ney for Southern California. Oscar Law
lor, has gone north to Portland.
As far as can be learned, Mr. Lawlor
and Mr. Bristol did not meet here,
though both conferred with Mr. Heney
on 'their way through.- A short time
before, Mr. Heney conferred with Sec
retary Garfield, and it Is the under
standing that Mr. Heney made known
to Mr. Bristol and r. Lawlor the
wishes of the Secretary. Mr. Heney
did not desire to talk for publication
on the matter at this time. Beyond
saying that he would mane every ef
fort to be In Portland when the prose
cutions are. resumed In October, he
asked to be excused from talking for
publication.
It is reported here, but not verified.
that the mysterious movements of the
Government prosecutors on the Pacific
Coast are In some measure connected
with the desire of the Federal Adminis
tration to force the Southern Pacific
and Its subsidiary companies to place
tneir land on sale In accordance with
the terms of the original grant.
TRIALS WITH ANIMALS.
Dr. Flexner Uses Guinea Pigs, Rab
bits and Horses to Get Serum.
CHICAGO, Aug. 7. A dispatch to the
Inter Ocean from New York says: Details
were received yesterday of the eerebro
spinal meningitis serum antiseptic discov
ered by Dr. Flexner, of the Rockefeller
Institute for Medical Research and used
successfully in Cleveland in the treatment
of the disease which killed many children
In the epidemic In New York two years
ago. Professor Flexner made a discovery
by means of experiments on monkeys and
guinea pigs. His first experiment on
guinea pigs was made with goats' serum.
A female goat had been Injected twice
with cultures from several sources of the
meningitis germs (dlplococcl) within a pe
riod of two weeks. By using large Injec
tions the doctor saved the pigs. When the
goat which had been infected with men
ingitis died the serum obtained from It
was found to have both preventive and
curative properties. The serum from mon
keys protected guinea pigs from what
otherwise would have been a fatal dis
ease of the meningitis germs.
On the whole, the Immune serum saved
more guinea pigs than the normal serum.
The serum of an Infected horse also ren
dered the guinea pigs immune. Dr. Flex
ner got an anti-serum from rabbits,
which, if injected Immediately, had high
protective properties against the disease.
A considerable number of guinea pigs
were killed by meningitis in the course
of the experiments.

Chanler Chances Asylum if He

NO RELIEF FROM COURTS
Ex-Husband of AmeIie Rives May
Be Captured as Escaped Lunatic
if He Returns to Sue
for Estate.
NEW YORK, Aug. 7. If John Arm
strong Chanler, the wealthy New Yorker
who escaped from an Insane asylum In
this state several years ago and fled to
Virginia, where the courts declared him
sane, comes back to New York to
prosecute a suit he has instituted to get
control of his property, he will do so at
the risk of being re-incarcerated as a
lunatic, according to a decision by Judge
Hough in the United States Circuit Court
today.
Chanler, who Is the divorced husband of
Amelie Rives, the authoress, was adjudged
.Insane by the Supreme Court In this city
and committed to an asylum. Thomas T.
Sherman was appointed a committee to
take charge of Chanler and his estate.
Later Chanler escaped to Virginia. He
invoked the aid of the courts, which de
clared him sane and competent to have
control of his property. The latter, how
ever, being still In possession of the
Supreme Court's committee of this state,
Mr. Chanler brought suit In the Federal
Court of this district to force Mr. Sher
man to restore to him his estate.
Fearing that if he returned to prosecute
his action, he would be seized and again
remanded to the Insane asylum, Mr.
Chanler, through counsel, last week peti
tioned Judge Hough to grant an order
restraining the Supreme Court and Its
officers from Interfering with him, should
he appear In New York. This Judge
Hough declined to do in his decision
handed down today.
