pin purist , returned from Chicago last night.
According to his statement ho knew noth
ing of lha charges preferred against him
until reaching Omaha yesterday , when he
was informed of the fact by a friend who
chnncod to meet him. It appears that the
telegram sent to Chicago on last Friday
\ foiled to reach him. Ho states that he left
that -ity on that dnv for Marshalltown , Jo , ,
where his wife is visiting her parents. As
noon ns ho learned of it , however , ho hastened
home and at once issued the following card ,
in nking a rvwccplng denial of the allegations.

Notwithstanding the suggestion that it

interested insisted upon the retention of the
attorneys , stated.
Tomorrow the three orations will be pub

much better opportunity to Judge of the mer

The other muddles that threatened to end
in rupture have been settled happily and the
interstate contest promises to end without
additional sensations.
Mr. Ferguson will orate. The investigating
committee decided , after a careful hearing ,
thut the ulleged plagiarism would not stand
and that the We&loyan orator was entitled to
his place in the progrnmrno of the interstate

announcement with evident satisfaction and

Several scores of people have visited the
county clerk's office within the past sixty
days and gone nway growling , not ut Mr.
O'Malley or anybody nor anything connected
with his office , however. The -people who
have done this growling were those who had
served us coroner's Jurors or witnesses on the
coroner's inquests. The cause of the prowl
is the fact that the county board within
the time specified has called a halt in the pay
ment of fees to both of the parties Interested.
When the coroner filed the February bills
for such fees the latter were referred , as
usual , to the finance committee. Tbo chair
man of this committee took occasion to con
sult the statutes for authority to
pay these bills , and found that no
puch authority existed , The committee then
decided informally to get an opinion from
County Attorney Mahoney on the matter
and the thing has been running along in Just
this situation.
Speaking on the subject , Mr. Maboney
"Tho matter has never been presented tome
mo formally cither by the board or the finance
committee. The statute makes no expressed
provision in the case , but does say that if
coroners' jurors or witnesses fall to attend
in response to a summons they can be
attached for contempt and dealt with ac
cordingly. Tlie fiict that n man can be at
tached for contempt In case he fails to obey
the bidding of the coroner is , I firmly believe ,
showing sufficient that ho should bo compen
sated for the time he spends in obylug the
summons served upon him , though I am satis
fied thut ho could not recover In an action
against the county , for the very reason that
there is no statute on which ho could base
his action.
"My idea , then , of the matter is that the
omission of n statute clause to pay these
fees is merely a legislative oversight"Vhcn \
the commissioners shall ask for my formal
opinion iu the mutter , I shall certainly s > ay
that I think they can go ahead nnd pay all
such bills Just as the board has done in the
past.
"Almost every other state prob
ably all other states have a pro
vision in their statutes for compen
sating coroner's Jurors and witnesses ,
and I have not the slightest doubt but that
our next legislature will supply the ornis
sion. "
Commissioner Berlin said that it had been
the intention of the committee on finance to
get Mr. Mahony's opinion BOOH after the bills
come. The matter would , however , bo at
tended to immediately.
Mr. O'Keeffe said ho thought that payment
of the bills would be resumed upon receipt of
the county attorney's opinion.
The board has declined to pay the coroner's
bill of fi'lTi for ten post-uiortein examinations
during March by Dr. McMunlgal , on the
ground that when one physician gets nil of
them he should do it for the lowest figure
named in the statutes , which is $10 per case ,
except in extraordinary itistauccs.where a
chemical analysis of the stomach of the sub
ject is necessary.
Dr. Hiirrigun declined to accept ? 10D nnd
said he should appeal to the courts.
The bills for coroner's Jurors' and witness'
fees paid during 1S39 have not ns j'et been
figured , but those for the throe years preced
ing lust year are as follows : l&SO , 17" ; 1 $7 ,
lo,1. ; 1SSS , $1,033.70.
The county board's estimate for the ex
penses of the coroner's ofllco during the pres
ent year is $ J,000.
Francis M. Ullner , who numnjjed
Lucio Znratc , the fiiniouo midget , hits
the following' in tlio eiistorn papern :
"I have been busy in searching Tor an
attraction that would equal Zarnte in
phenomenal oddity nnd drawing power.
1 am pleased to announce that I have
found it in the family of E. T. Page of
Ingorsoll , Tex. The head of the family
is an English gentleman , the wife is a
woman of not uncommon appearance ,
and is n iiativo of Texas. In September ,
1887 , twins blessed their union. In De
cember , I88S , triplets were born to them.
Iu January of the present year Mrs.
Page became the mother of four babes
at one birth. Of all the&o children only
the triplets died. I have contracted
with Mr. and Mrs. Page for the exhibi
tion of the family the parents
tlie twins , the quadruplets and
the two" nurses , whose services have
been found noce&ury. My first date is
nt Denver , Col. , in Sackott & Lawlor's
Wonderland , for two weeks , beginning
April 7. Thereafter I shall ba at Lin
coln , Neb. , and St. Joseph , Mo. , for one
week iu each place , and at Omaha , Keb. ,
for two woous. The quadruplets , to
whom I call particular attention , are
wonderful enough , solely from tho-riimul-
taneity of their birth , to attract tlio at
tention and excite the interest of all uiou
and women everywhere. Talcing into
consideration the fact that they are t-o
similar in weight , in the blondness of
hair and blueness of eye , und in their
sex , that their own mother finds
it dillicult to tell tlie one
from I the olher , their value as
objects of interest appears greatly en
hanced , Considering the additional fact
that Paith , Hope , Charity and Patience
"Page are perfect in health and forma
tion , that they are pretty and happy
children , possessing the full measure of
infantile intelligence , that never before
in the hiHtory of the world have quad
ruplets of one sex been born consider
ing all those facts , I have no hesitancy
in pronouncing the Page quadruplets tlio
greatest curiosity I have ever handled ,
and the most-attractive freak of nature 1
have overseen. That they will prove to
be a magnet of greater strength than
wore even Lucia Zarnto nnd General
Mite is tv sweeping assertion , but one
uj > on which I will stake my reputation as
iin GxnoriMURnd Hhoivmnn '
inent.
I am prepared to substantiate to the
letter every assertion I have made re
specting tlie birth of these children.
Their advent into the world was her
alded throughout Texas- , and all the res
idents of Ingersoll are familiar with all
the facts in the case. As to the drawing

I'Aiiii , , April 30. [ New York Herald Cable
Special to TUB BEE. ] The Marquis de
Mores was taken from his cell at the depot
and brought before M. d'Hols , commissioner
of police , yesterday. In the examination
which followed the inarquU made the follow
ing statement :
"I have known for some days that my ar
rest was imminent nud my friends have more
than once advised mo to leave the country.
Why should I take flight ? ' has been my In
variable reply to thorn. 'My conscience Is
perfectly clear , whorcas if I turn tuy back on
the danger which threatens me , it will bo in
ferred that I urn guilty No , 1 shall stay
whore I am , " I have observed of late
that uiy steps were dogged by detective * ,
vrho made dally reports to the prefecture of >
police as to my worfli and actions , I was
regularly Informed tfbo , contents of these
report * , so that my arrcs.t does not surprise
mo in the least. " "
The marquis dcddnti positively that he
had never had the Rllphtest intention of Ink
ing part In the demonstration of May dny
and that be bad crfn 'tiwldod to bo absent
from Paris on that d ylHe professed , there
fore , complete Ignorance us to the nature of
the accusations made against him.
"You may search Ks much ns you please , "
he exclaimed , "in mr apartment , but you will
find nothing. " Andibr , ho added , dryly :
"I am accustomed to'bdrn my letters. "
The prisoner has preserved the most com
plete calm , his only fonrern being the effect
of the shock upon his .wife , who Is about to
become a mother. The 'warrant issued against
the 'marquiswas signed by Atthalin , the
judge of instruction.
The examination concluded , d'Hois. ac
companied by four detectives , proceeded to
05 Rue de Saint Anne , where the Marquis de
Mores had rented nn ofllco for the transaction
of his socialistic business. The marquis went
with them. The place having been searched ,
n numlwr of papers were seized , including n
bundle of appeals for distribution among the
laboring classes and urging them to take part
in the approaching demonstration. This for
mality being concluded the party went to the
residence of the marquis in
the Rue de Tilsitt- where u
second search was mndo in the presence of
Madame do Mores , who maintained her self-
possession in an admirable manner.
While this was going on the marquis asked
permission to change his dress , and was al
lowed to do so. ISot forgetting his accus
tomed hospitality oven In these trying circum
stances , the prisoner offered some refresh
ments to the officers of the law , which , how
ever , were refused. All papers of n suspicious
character found oil the premises were duly
seized and will be carefully examined.
At 1 o'clock the Marquis do Mores was
taken back to the depot , where he was left to
his meditation.
The Marquis de Mores sat down in the after
noon and wrote the following letter :
To the Editor of tin- New York Herald : Will
