General Crespo’s Son.
May be Burned at the Stake to Save Venezuela's
Capital.~—Then Brutal War Will Follow.—The
State of the Revolution.
New York, May 3.—A Herald spe-
cial from Barquisimeto, Venezuela,
says that Dictator Palacio’s threat to
kill the son of General Crespo as soon
as the latter comes within a league of
Caracas, has reached the headquarters
of the revolutionists, and excited great
indignation. General Crespo declares
that if his son is to be put to death Pala-
cio will be burned at the stake in front
of the Casa Amarilla. The revolution-
ists will do all they can to prevent the
dictator from carrying’ out his threat,
but, if he should kill young Crespo,
Palacio may expect, if captured, to be
cremated.
Crespo is getting dangerously near
to Caracas, but he is not yet prepared
to attack it. He will not descend on
Caracas until Victoria has fallen, and
all his plans are now tending to the ac-
complishment or this latter object.
Guerre, who with Alayon and others
has rendered Casana helpless on the
prairies in and around Calabozo, has
been ordered up to the investment of
Victoria. When this place is taken it
will be a death blow to Palacio’s cause.
Palacio has just issued a circular to
the people of Venezuela in which he
says that at the conclusion of the war,
whether it results in a victory for the
government or submission to the reb-
els, the different states will be called
upon to elect representatives to the as-
sembly, which will consider the ques-
tion of the reformed constitution. To
this assembly he will hand in his re-
signation of the office of President,
which for no human consideration
would he retain for a longer period.
Opposed to Their Black Brethren.
White Veterans in New Orleans Refuse to Rec
ognize the Negro G. A. R. Posts.
NEw OrLEANS, May 3.—Ever since
Past Department Commander Jacob
Gray, of the G. A. R., some two years
ago, chartered a nuwber of negro posts
there has been a continual wrangle, the
white posts declined to accord any re-
cognition to the negro posts, but Deputy
Commander Frederick Speed refused to
inspect them or recognize them in any
way. He was warned that serious con-
sequences might ensue, but his comrades
endorsed his course, and he decided to
stick to it. A lengthy petition was pre-
pared and forwarded to the national
commander, General Palmer, of New
York. The colored posts also got up a
petition, which it appears had more ef-
fect. It led to the suspension of the de-
partment commander and senior vice
commander for disobedience of orders.
Colonel James Lewis, who led the
fight for the negro posts, stated that they
were certain to win, and that the white
posts would not dissolve, as had been
alleged. as sufficient members would
remain to preserve their organization.
The command of the department now
devolves upon Junior Vice Commander
Miller, who is said to be as firmly op-
posed to the negro as the two deposed
officers.
The Alliance People in Session.
They Hold a Conference but Keep Every- Thing
Under Their Hats.
BirMINGHAM, Ala.,, May 8.—The
Southern Alliance presidents and exe-
cutive boards have been in conference
here all day and are again in session to-
night, but beyond the fact that all the
Southern States and Oklahoma are rep-
resented, little or nothing is known of
their proceedings. Members when not
in the confereuce talked pleasantly, but
told no secrets. It is given out that
Colonel Polk is presiding and W. F.
Gwyn, of Tennessee, is secretary. Col-
onel Polk made a speech in opening the
proceedings, and then general reports
from all the States were made. It is
gathered that practically everybody in
attendance is for a People’s party in na-
tional elections, and it is probable that
this policy will prevail.
There were some prominent menbers
last night who were opposing any sup-
port of the People’s party in any form,
but it is openly announced to-day that
these have been brought around and
that the body is practically unanimous
now on the proposition that all Alliance
men should support the tikcet. Wheth-
er any formal action has been taken on
this subject is what cannot be under-
stood.
The Central Theatre Victims.
In our last week’s issue we gave a
detailed account of the burning of the
Central theatre and of the Times annex,
in Philadelphia. But as the work
had not progressed far enough to tell
whether any one had been burned up,
we were unable to give a list of the
victims which we herewith append.
Priraperraia, April 30.—All the
bodies known to be buried in the rnins-
of the Central theatre have been re
covered, the last three being taken out
at 9.30 o'clock this morning. Tne
names of the victims are Thomas Lor-
ella, his wife Flora Lorella, Sarah
Goldman, Fanchon Convers, Vincineci-.
to Chitten and Wm. Brook, all mem-
bers, of the “Devil's Auction” com
pany.
Will Be Represented by a Woman.
CueyeNNE, Wyo., May 4.—As a re
sult of a consultation between the lead-
ing politicians of the State, men and
women, it is almost a settled fact that
Wyoming will be represented at the
Republican convention by one, or per-
haps two women. The convention
will endorse Harrison.
A Great Tax Uncomplained of.
From the Philadelphia Times.
The tariff in the wool line is almost

Captain Curtin Replies te Many
Republicans.
Roland, Pa. April 30,1892.
Hon. P. Gray Meek.
EpITor “WATCHMAN.”
My Dear Sir:
Will you kindly allow me space in your
paper to answer the following communica-
tion published in your issue of 29th inst.,
under the caption of “An Explanation Want-
ed,” and addressed to [Mr. W. L. Malin and
myself.
“Gentlemen, you have been recently en-
trusted to represent the farmers and other Re-
publicans of Centre county, atthe late con-
vention of Pennsylvania Republicans, and it is
saia by responsible persons that you became
so enthusiastic for the nomination of J udge
Dean, that you were willing to “dicker” or
trade votes on Congressman-at large, for the
purpose of securing votes for Dean, thus giv-
ing aid to the underhanded game, which was
successfully manipulated to defeat the nomi-
nation of farmer Taggart for Congressman-at-
large, in whose nomination the farmers of
Centre county were so much interested. ‘ You
have the floor gentlemen ; rise up and. explain
and give a true account of your late mission to
i will interest many Repub-
cans.”
I have not had an oppsrtunity of seeing my
colleague Mr. Malin before writing this, but
will assent and defy the “Many Republicans’
or the “responsible persons” mentioned above
to produce one responsible witness to say,
that either Mr. Malin or myself made even an
attempt to trade any candidate or candidates
for any other candidate or candidates or to
make a “dicker” or trade of any kind, during
any time of the Republican convention, at
Harrisburg, April 19th, and 20. -
As to myself (and no doubt Mr. M. will
speak or write for himself) Iam not one par-
ticle ashamed of my individual or representa-
tive actions during all of the convention—I
made no trouble nor did I in any way attempt
to do so, nor was I approached by any one for
a trade except once indirectly, to trade with
the Philadelphia delegation for Caster, while
it was even an indirect offer I refused it with
some warmth—I saw or heard of no other
trading, except ex-chairman Andrews’ dealing
with the Philadelphia delegation giving votes
for Caster in exchange for Henderson and I
knew little even about that, only as the dele-
gations, voted, the supposition was that the
trade was made, neither Mr. Malin nor I was
“in it” in any way, hence paid little attention
to it.
While our county convention did not in.
struct for Judge Dean, yet it is well known
that many, who voted against instruction, were
favorable to him but did not like to “tie the
hands” of the delegates.
Between the time of the county convention
and my going to the State convention I took
the trouble to talk with some prominent Re-
publicans in regard to Judge Dean’s candidacy
and I felt sure then, and do now, all other
things, being equal, that locality of nothing
else made this county favorable to him—
hence I voted for him—first, last and all the
time. My next preference was Judge Lodler
had Judge Dean fallen off, and no chance for
him—but ‘Judge Dean did not fall oft there-
fore we voted for him all the way through,
the candidates for Judge were all excellent
men, and no mistake could have been made
inany of them.
Now as to the vote for Congressman-at-large
—why did not “Many Republicans” (with such
a seeming interest in Mr. Taggart) doas Col.
Shortlidge did, interview me in regard to my
voting for Mr. Taggart. I told Col. Short-
lidge I would vote for Lilly and Taggart and I
did just as I said I would (Gen, Lilly is an old
personal friend of mine and a good man) and
had it taken more than one ballot, would have
done so again—but one ballot closed the vot-
ing for the candidates for that office.
Thus as briefly as I can do so, I have given
my votes and reasons for voting at the late
convention—I hope it is satisfactory, if not, I
am ready to pro « .e any proof needed—I
again say to the writer of the above article, I
defy him or any one else to prove a “dicker”
or trade or even an offer todo so by either
Mr. M. or myself, by which we attempted to
elect or defeat any one or more candidates be-
fore or during the convention, and ask “Many
Republicans” to please name responsible per-
sons to me either by a private letter, or in
any of the public prints—I had no other inter-
est in the result of the convention than carry.
ing out the wishes of my constituents, and
the good of the Republican party, and can
safely say the same for Mr. Malin.
I think I have been a hard working mem-
ber of the party as long and perhaps longer
than has “Many Republicans.” I think I
have made sacrifices for the party that ¢ Many
Republicans” never dreamed of, I have _rep-
resented the party before this time and was
never before called in question, and I am now
ready to be confronted with any witness that
may be produced, as to my conduct ag
Harrisbarg.

Atlantic City.
A Booming Season Ahead for the Great Resort
and the Reading's Royal Route.
The popularity of Atlantic City long since
reached National proporticns, and it continues
to grow from year to year. The approaching
season promises to be the greatest ever known
at this the greatest of all seaside resorts. The
Reading Railroad, whose superbly magnifi-
cent line between Philadelphia and Atlantic
City has become famous throughout the coun-
try as the “Royal Route to the Sea,” will con-
tinue to be the principal and favorite means of
getting to and from the City by the Sea. The
Reading’s superiority in equipment is gener
ally conceded. Its chief advantage consistg
in the fact that it has the only double track
line of railroad to Atlantic City. The impor:
tance of this cannot be overestimated. Not
only does it insure the absolute safety of pas.
gengers, but it admits of quicker and more re-
fiab:e transit, The Reading line is also sever-
al wn horter than any other road to Atlan-
tie C1. >, ud it runs almost as straight as the
crow ties. The great “Seventy-five Minute
Flyers” are the most talked of trains in Ameri
For beauty, elegance and speed they are
literally beyond rivalry and those of our read-
ers who visit Atlantic City should not fail to
experience the delight of a ride on one of
these matchless trains. The summer sched-
ule will comprise a larger number of fast ex-
press trains than has ever heretofore been run
on any line. Trains will start atsuch frequent
Fintervals that one can scarcely fail to catch a
“Flyer” at whatever time he may desire to go.
The spring time table now in effect shows
week day trains leaving Philadelphia at 8.00
and 9.00 a. m., 2.00, 4.00 and 5.00 p. m. Sunday
morning express trains leave at 8.00, 9.00 and
10.00 a. m. Returning trains start from Atlan-
tic City at 7.30 and 9.00 a. m., 4.00 and 5.30 p. m.
weey days, 4.00, 5.45 and 9.00 p. m. Sundays.
The “Royal Route’s” Philadelphia stations are
at Chestnut and South street wharves, and all
Reading Railroad Ticket Offices have through
tickets and baggage checks for Atlaniic City.

The illness of grandmother Meyers which
we noted in last week’s issue resulted in her
death, at 10 o'clock a. m. the 25th, inst., at the
age of 74 years, 3 months and 10 days. Her
maiden name was Elizabeta Weaver, born and
raised in Centre county: When quite young
she consecrated herself with the Reformed
church and her life has been one of an ex-
emplary christian lady and she died,as she liv-
ed, in that blessed hope. In 1838 she married
Joseph Meyers, who died some 28 years ago,
during this long period of widow-hood she re-
tained her home accompanied by her oldest
daughter Mary who so kindly administered to
her needs. Her illness was of short duration,
caused by la-grippe, stomach and heart troub-
le. Her demise removes another head-light
of a once numerous, happy family consisting
of nine sons and 3 daughters. Mrs. A. V.
Kline, of Nittany Valley; Mrs.John Hummell
of Mifflin county; Wm. J. and J. F. of this
town; Henry F. of Alexandria; Daniel and
Wesley Meyers, of Boalsburg; and 27 grand
children mourn her death. Funeral services
were conducted by Rev. A. A. Black, where
her remains were laid to rest in the Boals-
burg cematery, on the 26th inst., followed by
a large concourse of mourning friends.

CARP and criticise as they
may, it is to be doubted
whether there is a sane per-
son that does not like to see
a woman well dressed. This
does not necessarily mean the
expenditure ot large sums but
it does mean choice in becom-
ing colors, in gowns well
made and in a suitable style.
For those who cannot afford
many gowns a black toilet is
indispensable, and it should
be of the matchless Priestly
Silk Warp Fabrics. Ladies
who are expert in textiles ad-
mit that there is no material
that will wear as well and
look as dressy as the Silk
Warp Henrietta. Elderly la-
dies make elegant toilets with
demi trains relieved with jet
and chiffon ruffles. In buy-
ing a black dress one need
not be confined to Henriettas

of which we are the sole rep-
resentatives in this city,make
