Beaver Falls, Fa., January 3. An excit
ing scene took place in the burgess' office this
afternoon at the hearing of S. K. Mellon, the
broker charged with embezzlement by several
parties here. Mellon had been bound over to
court in the sum of $2,000, and his father-in-law
and brother Edward were arringing to go
on his bail, when John Graham, a prominent
liveryman of this place and one of Melton's al
leged victims, walked up and called the broker
a thief. Graham had hardly uttered the words
when Mellon jumped and struck him twice,
knocking him down.
In the contusion that followed the Burgess

escaped Injury from flying feet and fists. The
three police who were present separated the
men and the Burgess promptly fined each for
contempt of court.
Hot words passed between John Buchanan,
Esq.. of Beater, and Ed. Mellon, in which the
Beaver lawyer threatened to wipe the earth
with Mellon as soon as they were outside the
shadow of the courtroom.

McKeespoet, January 1 The outlook for
the location of the Novelty Steel Wheel Com
pany plant in this vicinity is not so rosy as it
was. Over half of the stock has been sub
scribed here, and the failure of wealthy men at
Bissell to become subscribers, it is feared, will
interfere with the prospects for the lo
cation of the plant at Bissell. It
was" confidentially expected that Messrs.
Lemon and Bi'sell. the gentlemen
alluded to, would subscribe, but they failed to
become interested, and several McKeesporters
who have subscribed are of opinion that Bis
sell will get the works.

rsrECIAX TELEGEAX TO THE DISPATCH.3
New Castle, Pa, January 3. Judge Mc
Michaels to-day heard the application to con
tinue the preliminary injunction against the
Shsnango Natural Gas Company, which pre
vents them increasing their rates or shutting
off the gas to consumers who refuse to pay the
increased price.
The plaintiffs took the ground that the ac
ceptance by the gas company of the ordinance
stipulating the rates charged not to be above
the average Pittsburg rate for a like meter
was a legal contract and binding, while the de
fense argued to the contrary.
The Judge reserved his decision.

ETECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.1
CRABLESTON, "W. Va., January 3. In
formation just received from Logan county
gives the particulars of the murder of
Floyd Dingess by "William Hale, which oc
curred at the mouth of Heart creekpLin
coln county, recently.
The men were brothers-in-law, but quar
reled some time ago about a married woman
to whom they had both been paying their
attentions, which quarrel was resumed when
they met each other at the place mentioned.
After some words had been passed Dingess
struck at Hale with a hand spike which
slipped from his hand, and as he stooped to
rj;ck it up Hale drew a revolver and shot
him in the mouth, the ball ranging upward
ana lodging in his brain.
Dingess' father and brother came up a
short time afterward, and seeing him lying
in the road, went through his pockets and
found a bottle of whisky, from which they
cooly wiped the blood and drank its con
tents. Henderson Dingess, Floyd's father, is
running a moonshine distillery in the
neighborhood, and about eight miles away,
on Marrowbone creek, another is located.
Both are run in open defiance of law and
the owners have gathered about them a body
of men, all under oath to stand by each
other, and they run the neighborhood' to suit
themselves, the law-abiding citizens fearing
to do anything or give any information that
would get the moonshiners into trouble.
The general sentiment is that Hale was
justified in his action, bnt the Dingess
family and their followers have sworn
vengeance against him, and are searching
for him in every direction. He has manr
friends and it is feared that there will b'e
further trouble over the matter.

WANTS THE CHINESE TO STAT.
C. P. Hnntington Declares the Exclusion Act
is a Donble-Headcr.
rSrECIAI. TELEGKAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
Kev York, January 3. Collins P.
Huntington, through A. A. Law, asked the
Chamber of Commerce to-day to favor the
amending or abrogation ot the Chinese ex
clusion bill. Mr. Huntington, in a long
letter, protests that the bill is injurious to
the commercial relations of the two coun
tries. Mr. Hnntington does not believe
that honest people in America are opposed
to the Chinese. Trade,, he says, is lalling
off with China, because of the bill, and, be
side, there is no good reason why China
should not retaliate. In that event, he
adds, the American trade now drifting to
England and other powers would be alto
gether lost.
Mr. Huntington further says that the-
measure was the result ot partisan pressure
and a political device. "Is not this," he
concludes, "a heavy price to pay for the
luxury of the hoodlum vote of California
(lor l believe the fanatical hostility to the
industrious Chinaman is limited to Cali
fornia, where the Irish Catholics swing the
balance of power)?"

Rheumatism
According to recent investigation is caused by
excess of lactic acid in the blood. This acid
attacks the fibrous tissues, particularly in the
joints, and causes the local manifestations of
the disease, pains and aches in the back and
shoulders, and in the joints at the knees, ankles,
hips aud wrists. Thousands of people have
found in Ilood's Sarsapanlla a positive and
permanent cure for rheumatism. The medi
cine, by Its purifying and vitalizing action, neu
tralizes the acidity of the blood, and also builds
up and strengthens the whole body.
I was laid up for six months with rheumat
ism, and used many kinds of medicines without
good result till one of my neighbors told me to
take Hood's Sarsaparilla. When I had used
half a bottle I felt better, and after taking two
bottles 1 think 1 was entirely cured as I have
nbt had an attack of rheumatism since." Eu
