The political waves of the pending State
campaign are gently laving Pittsburg's
feet, and the news that the biggest poli
ticians in the Republican party are to make
Pittsburg the center of operations for a few
days to come has set the boys agog. State
Chairman W. H. Andrews, who has been
swinging "round the circle in "Western
Pennsylvania as the political mentor of
Hon. H. A. Boycr, arrived in Pittsburg last
evening, and domiciled himself at the
Seventh Avenue Hotel. He came from
AVashii'gton and left Mr. Boyer in the
bucolic embrace of that flourishing burg.
Sir. Boyer will be in Pittsburg this morn
ing, whereupon there will be a grand offi
cial pow-wow. The two gentlemen gazed at
the coy squash and the bulging pumpkin of
"Washington county's rural genius yester
day. But the political pulse of the Wash
ingtonians was very accurately felt at acon
fcrence yesterday at which sundry Pitts
burgers assisted. The consultation must
"have been extremely gratifying to all con
cerned. Allegheny county comes next on the pro
gramme, and from this city Messrs. Boyer
and Andrews will make sundry pilgrim
ages to contiguous localities which await
inspection. Mr. Andrews said "open ses
ame" to a Dispatch man's cardboard, and
Mr. James S. McKean assisted in the
urbane welcome that followed.
'"We are just making a little tour of the
western counties." said Mr. Andrews, "and
Mr. Boyer is meeting old friends and mak
ing new ones.
KO SrOUTKfG THIS TEAE.
"The campaign is fully open, but as it is
an off year there will be no speaking. "We
are quite serene as to the outlook. I admit
that I would feel somewhat dejected if we
were trying to fisrure on the other side. An
80,000 majority is not to be sneezed at. No;
Bigler does not seem to be making much
stir as yet, and Representative "Wherry's
threatened onslaught has not as yet materi
alized. Mr. Boyer will be elected very
handily, and we expect the usual off year
majority, although I haven't given out any
predictions as to figures. Mr. Boyer is
genial and makes friends easily, and we
have been received with flattering enthu
siasm everywhere. The campaign issues are
as vital as" those of any past campaign, and
we ee no reason to look for anything less
in the wav of a majority than that usually
giveu. "We shall remain here or in this
vicinity until the meeting of the State
League ot Eepublican Clubs, coincident
with which Mr. Boyer has accepted an in
vitation to be present at the reception ten
dered him by the Amencus Club."
"Have you seen anything of that 1,000
check which the Oil Citv Derricfc mentioned
as the parting gift of Hon. C. L. Mageo to
the Republican cause before he sailed to
Europe?"
A curious look came over Mr. Andrews'
face as he remarked: "I .hadn't heard of it.
But if anyone desires to tender a check for
54,000, or any other sum, I am prepared to
give a receipt therefor with cheerful alac
rity." HE DIDN'T GET VERT FAB.
Another reporter came in just then and
braced Mr. Andrews for an item of import,
but cot no further than the question: "Will
Mr. Boyer have as large a majority as Pres
ident Harrison had?"
Senator M. S. Quay was expected to ar
rive in the city last night on his way East,
but at a late hour had not entered an ap
pearance He will doubtless arrive to-dav.
James Kerr, of Clearfield county, arrived
also at the Seventh Avenne Hotel last even
ing. He had no sooner got rid of the stains
of travel than Hon. "W. J. Brennen, ac
companied by the ever-faithful "Squire
Boyle and some more of the faithful, sought
his presence. Mr. Brennen paused long
enough to say that he thought that Sen
ator "Wallace was quite right in
giving it out that he wanted
the Gubernatorial nomination next year."
He could have had it when Beaver
rnn," remarked Mr. Brennen, "if he had
come ont flationted two months before the
convention. But when he did say so Mr.
Black was too far in advance. As it now
stands both are avowed candidates, and ex
Governor Pattison can watch the fight out
of the corners of his eye. Mr. Black was
always a tariff reformer even when cham
pioned by Samuel J. Randall. Both Black
and "Wallace are popular men. Black's
greatest strength, however, is in the West
ern counties, so that the geographical lines
are slightly mixed."
Postmaster Larkin said yesterday that
Senator Wallace had injured his prospects
in the past by his extreme modesty, and
that he would probably lose nothing by his
avowal of his candidacy. I do not believe
that there will be anything acrimonious in
the contest. Both men are very popular in
the party, and, besides, it is a good ways
ahead, and the result of the present cam
paign is bound to have some effect upon the
conventions of bath parties next year."

Two Tonchs Relieve a Doctor of HI
Wmch and Then Return It They Broke
Away, bat Were Arrested Later.
Thomas McEwen, alias Jack Spratt, alias
Black Tom, and another man by the name
of C.H. Kennedy were arrested last evening
by Detective McTighe for attempting to rob
Dr. F. Campbell in a Sixth street saloon
yesterday afternoon. Dr. Campbell is about
78 years of age and resides at 181 Lacock
street, Allegheny. He came over to this
side yesterday afternoon and stepped into
McCarthy's saloon for a drink. While
there he was familiarly accosted by Mc
Ewen, who began to pluck at his' watch
chain. This was repeated several times
and then the doctor noticed his chain was
dangling and watch gone. He immediately
caught young McEwen by the collar and
accusing him of the theft, demanded the re
turn of the watch. McEwen denied it at
first, but finallv handed over the watch.
The doctor then renewed his grip on Mc
E wen's collar and said he was going to have
him arrested, but Kennedy and two or
three other young men who were in Mc
Ewen's company crowded around the doe-
tor and began to coax mm on, Ji.enneay oi
feringto pay him 10 if he would promise
not to have McEwen arrested.
The doctor declined to accept the bribe
and started toward the door with his pris
oner, who suddenly jerked loose and ran
away, hiding himself in a stable on
Duq'uesne way. Dr. Campbell then re
ported the two men to the police with the
result stated. They will have a hearing
this morning.
THE TEEACHEEOUS GAS.
A Baker Kan-only Escapes Heine Badlr
Darned In an Explosion.
What might have proved a serious acci
dent took place yesterday at Wm. Voxel's
bakery shop, corner Bluff and Chcstuut
streets'. That gentleman uses natural gas
in all his ovens, and he has been having
considerable trouble with it lately. Yes
terday he could not obtain gas enough with
which to continue his work, and when the
inspector arrived they both proceeded to
the cellar to inspect the Dipes.
Mr. Vogel, however, had not turned off
the valve opening into one of the ovens, and
when they came into the bakery again after
making some needed repairs it was noticed
that the gas was escaping rapidly. The
valve was at once turned off, and the dam
pers opened to let it escape. Shortly after
ward Mr. "Vogel attempted to start a fire in
tbe oven, and the match bad no sooner ap
proached the door when au explosion took
place.
A column of fire leaped out for a distance
ol ten feet, and the baker was severely
stunned, besides having his mustache, eye
brows and hair considerably burned. The
people in the store were terribly frightened,
but none of them were injured.
OUT ON A STE1KE.
Tbe Employes of tbe Evergreen Road
Ban Samp. Griernnces.
Tbe employes of the Evergreen road, a
branch of the Pittsburg and Western, have
gone out on a strike. This road is a gigantic
concern. It is a narrow gauge and is made
up of a number of awkward curves and
ugly grades, and its rolling stock consists of
an engine and two cars.
It is claimed that the engineer and fire
man were compelled to work all day and to
alternate in watching the engine at night,
without receiving any extra pay. Manager
McDonald threatens to discontinue the use
of the road entirely if it fails to yield larger
returns. This big strike has resulted in all
patrons of the road being compelled to
walk the tics to get to their destinations.
HE DENIES IT.

of insulting the lady, and he gave $1,000
bail for a hearing this morning. Benkart

The Eastern Coal Combination Wants
the Schedules Modified.
TERMS OP SALE K0T SUITABLE.
Another Move May Soon be Expected in
Cote Producing-.Circles.
A BUDGET OP INDUSTRIAL POINTERS
William S. Shinn, the man who is con
ducting the Monongahela river coal deal,
arrived in the city yesterday morning to
conler with the Pittsburg operators about
their inventories. He visited several of the
most prominent firms, and held conferences
with them. The Eastern people, for whom
he is acting in the matter, do not take kind
ly to the terms which the Pittsburg men ask
for their properties. Thelatter want one
half of the price in cash. "Some want part
of the balance in bonds and mortgages, and
another part in preferred stock. This the
would-be purchasers object to, and theagent
is Irvine to effect better terms.
The impression that tbe deal is going the
way of its predecessors and will not
materialize is growing each day. Some of
those who were the first to make out
schedules of their property have abeut
concluded that their time has been wasted,
and that the negotations will drop through.
SOME ARE HOPEFUL
Others are still holding on to the hope
that the syndicate will take hold of the
matter, and bring them out. When asked
for information they refuse to talk about
the deal, and only say that it is progressing.
The larger operators jocularly refer to it,
and say they expect nothing to result from
it. They say they must have one half cash
or they will not s'ell. Others are willing to
offer better terms than those mentioned
above.
The person who Will make money by the
deal, if it is closed up, is Mr. Shinn. The
latter is given the credit of proposing the
scheme. It is said that his commission, if
he makes the dicker, will be 5 per cent.
THE MOSET INVOLVED.
The aggregate value of the 16 plants is
between 813,000,000 and 514.000,000. It ill
be seen that his share will be vover half a
million dollars if he can effect the sale.
It has been rumored along the river front
for the past two days that the deal had been
closed up so lar as Fawcett & Sons were
concerned. Tbis is denied, not only by the
firm, but by others, who say that not an
acre of the property or one item in any of
the schedules had been examined. Before
making the purchase, the syndicate would
probably send experts out to inspect and
survey the coal lands, but as yet this has
not been done. Th'e coal operators are
patiently waiting lor them, but they come
not.
Mr. Shinn is working hard to close up
the deal, and it is the wish of every oper
ator mail lie Yiiu ue euauieu uj uu bu.
A COKE MOVE EXPECTED.
II. C Frlck nml tbe Agent of tbe Producers
Hold a Conference. I
Persons interested in the movements of
the coke trade may now look for another
move to be made upon the board by H. O,
Prick & Co. That firm is now negotiating
for a deal of some kind to be made with the
new Producers' Association, composed of
small operators. .
A private conference was held yesterdav
afternoon between H. C. Frick and John F.;
Acheson, formerly of J. W. Moore & Co.,
which was sold to Mr. Prick. Mr. Ache
son is the Pittsburg sales agent of the new
syndicate and manages this end of the busi
ness. The conference was held in one of
the rooms of the Hotel Duquesne, and when
it was over neither party wonld say what it
was about Whether there was any agree
ment made between the two concerns or not
could not be learned. Mr. Prick stated it
was a private talk and there was no news
in it.

in Africa. At one time he states he had
made all arrangements to accompany Stan
ley on one of his trips, but at the last mo
ment Henry II. decided to take only two
explorers with him. Then the Frenchman
started alone, and with a few Arabs as com
panions spent seven months exploring the
dark continent.
Speaking of Stanley, he said: "I know
him quite well. He is a short man, rather
stocky and well bnilt, brusque in manner,
but a thoroughly good fellow and well liked
He is a brave man, afraid of nothing and
possessed of a fine moral nature."
Of the people and the Great Desert, he
said: "I found the inhabitants ot Tunis and
Morocco very intelligent and capable of
large mental development. Their women
are the handsomest in the world, so fair and
possessing very delicate complexions. The
skin is almost as white as snow.
SWAETHT COLORED TILES.
"The Arabs themselves along the coasts
are swarthy colored, but the complexion of
the people is darker as yon go into the in
terior of the country until in tbe tropics the
curly hair of the negro is met
"I think the time will come when canals
will be bnilt through the great Sahara
desert, not for purposes of irrigation as a
primary object, but to provide highways
and water so that it can be easily traversed.
It is possible, too, that the introduction of
water will change the climate and it might
rain. It is estimated that $200,000,000 will
do the work, but after going over the
ground I think it will require more money.
"The interior of Africa is rich in ivory,
gold, diamonds, minerals and tropical
fruits, but it is almost impossible to trans
port them across the desert. Roads are
badly needed. Some railroads have been
built from the coasts, but they are qnite im
practical. IT WOULD PAT WELL.
"The expenditure of such a large amount
of money to improve the desert and make it
passaDle wonld certainly pay in the develop
ment of the country. It is not generally
known that large quantities of the finest
tropical fruits grow in Africa, and some of
them find their way into Europe. The ivory
trade alone has become a big business, and
must be cared for."
Mr. Fayes thought Boulanger's goose was
cooked, and that President Carnot was only
waiting for an opportunity to get his hooks
on him and put him in a" place where he
won't disturb the peaceful sky of Europe
with fleecy war clouds. He said he never
saw European politics in such an unsettled
condition, when the people threaten to go to
war on the slightest provocation.
Mr. Fayes is a French barrister, and spent
considerable money in exploring Africa and
Turkey.
THAT PKOGBAMHE E0W.
R. T. Barker Locked Up by the Manager
for Disorderly Conduct.
B. V. Barker, the job printer, was ar
rested and locked up in Central station last
night on complaint of Superintendent John
ston, of the Exposition. Since the "Expo
sition opened Mr. Barker has persisted in
printing and distributing a programme in
opposition to one declared by the officials to
be the only official one of the Exposition.
He was ordered to stop distributing them
within the building and refused.
Last evening Mr. Barker and an assistant
were in the Exposition. They were accosted
by one of Superintendent Johnston's men,
but happened at the time to have no pro
grammes with them. Barker said that he
would distribute his programmes if he conld
get auv, and he at once procured a few and
handed them around. Acting on Superin
tendent Johnston's orders, a couple of the
special officers then seized him and led him
to the nearest patrol box. The wagon was
called and he was sent to Central station,
where a charge of disorderly conduct was
lodged against him, and he was locked up.

A MENACE TO HEALTH.
The Residents of Tnylor Street Complain of
a Wood Pavement.
The residents of Taylor street, Bloomfield,
are in a state of anxiety because the condi
tion of their street after a heavy rain breeds
all kinds of sickness. Alderman Doughty
said that some nine years ago the street was
paved with wood, which is now badly
rotted. All over the street there are large
holes, which hold the water after a rain
until it becomes stagnant. The odor im
pregnates the air, causing a ionl smell
which results in diphtheria and other
noxious diseases.
THE BOARD DID NOT MEET.
James DfcKnight Will Have to Walt Looser
