A Pitishl ko dispatch of Tuesday bays: Tiie grip has become a gt m-rally danger ous disease. The ib-alh rate has increas ed to a great extent and this month will break the record by the alarming increase of ;"0 per cent. Closii g at noon 72;! deaths have occurred in Pittsburg and Allegheny in twenty-four days of this month. Thirty-eight deaths have been reported within the last twenty four hours. The direct cause given on the certificates are grip, intluenza, pne umonia, typhoid fever and diptheria. From the last named disease one death per day hasoccured within the past three weeks at the Home of the Friendless alone. In the two fit es there were tifty one funerals on last Sunday, and there were not one-half enough hordes to go around. Respectable covered wagons are in use and carriages are daily at a premium. In one large clothinghou.se twenty-three clerks are laid off with the intluenza, which is daily growing more severe and now numbers nearly 5,000 victims in the city and suburbs. Physicians are overworked and some have as high as forty to sixty oases of grip alone. It is estimated that over .1.000 people ure s-uffering with grip in tov.nt" along the Fort Wavne road.

Ar the Republican conference in this city. Fays the Indianapolis Serine!, Mr. YV. T. Brush, of Crawfordsville, a very prominent membc-r of the grand old party, frankly declared that Indiana was carried fur Harripon in HS8 with boodle. Hie assertion was not chal lenged by any of the hundred or more Republicans who heard it. Mr. Brush also declared that unless some method could be devised of overturning or evad ing the new election law the Republi cans would have no chance of carrying the State in lSl'2. This was very plain talk, but everybody who heard it reali zed that it was true, and no one seems to have ventured a suggestion that In diana might possibly go Republican at an honest election. It'rt a grand old party, isn't it? Is 1S02 an Iowa man, Kays the New York Herald, on his way to join his reg iment stepped off a log while crossing a stream and caught cold.

Rut demand ing and getting are two things.

But it is not lelit-ved that the Italian government will ibtsire to t ike any further action when it is fully informed of the "Mafia's"' acts which led up to the massacre, us it has had fOiiif experience with the "Mafia." I was told to-day by an eminent Re publican, who is friendly to neither Harrison nor Maine that the deluge of Harrison talk which has recently eman ated from Republican Senators and Re presentatives in the columns of Repub lican uewspapers in all sections of the country is the direct result of a bargain between Harrison and Blaine, whereby the latter agrecw to give the former a chance to get himself renominated if he can, and the former agrti that in the event of it? becoming impossible br him to get the nomination he will withdraw in favor of Mr. Blaiuo. I cannot even vouch for the truthfulness of this story, but circumstantial evidence is strongly in its favor. It is not at all probable however that Mr. Blaine would havw made such a bargain if there was any probability of the election of tlie Repub lican nominee. Representatives Springer and Spinola, who have Utn dangerously ill in this city are both convalescing. General Joseph K. Johnson, whose reel figure ha, been familiar in Wash ington for some years is a very sick man, and owing to his extreme uge nearly 8 his physicians haven't much hope of his recovering.
