Alderman HcKenna Said to bo After Mr. Patrick Foley's Scalp. A GOOD CHAIBMANSEIP FIGHT ON HAKD. Jnaje Ballej Arrives Home and Declares He Will Wert to Win. Senator Delamater was in the city yester day. He talks little, but allows his friends to do it for him. Barney HcKenna is a candidate for the City Committee Chairman ship against Mr. Foley. Judge Bailey ar rived home. State Senator G. "W. Delamater left on the 8 o'clock train last evening for Phila delphia after a very busy day expended in seeing and conversing -with Gas City poli ticians. He arrived in the morning and re paired to the Hotel Duqnesne where a peck of letters and telegrams awaited his atten tion. Scarcely had be gotten into the midst of his correspondence when the cards oi local politicians commenced to flow in. Hon. S. D. "Waimcastle, with whom Sena tor Delamater journeyed from Washington, did the honors, and assisted in the entertain ment of the guests. All or the local lead ers who are interested in the Surveyorship and Bank Examiner appointments were on hand early to receive the latest news from "Washington. To the anxions inquiries upon the subject Mr. "Warmcastle stated that City Clerk George Sheppard was as good as appointed and that Captain John F. Dravo was be lieved to be the coming man for the position of Surveyor. To questions in regard to Senator 51. S. Quay, Messrs. Warmcastle and Delamater replied that the Senator's trip to Florida was by medical advice, and that there would probably be a lull in Keystone poli tics until his return. In common with otber sufferers from la grippe, both Colonel Quay and Dick, although practically well, were Buffering from lassitude. KOT EVEN A BECOGNITION. Messrs. Delamater and Warmcastle lunched together, and on emerging from the dining room encountered C. L. Magee, who had just come in with some friends. The leading candidate for Governor and the most powenul opponent oi his canvass passed each other by without a gleam of recognition in the" eye of either, but Mr. Warmcastle entered into an animated con versation with Mr. Magee and Senator Dela mater advanced to a group of newspaper men witn nis usual cordial greeting. "All I care to say at present," said Sena tor Delamater, "is summed up in a very few words. I am feeling well, and my canvass is plainly in the lead. There are a number of candidates in the field, and they are all good men. Any one of us who gets the nom ination will be supported by the others. I am quite confident of securing the nomina tion; in fact, if the convention was to be held to-morrow I would be the nominee." 'What have you to say of the threatened bolt of Independents led bv Wharton Barker, of Philadelphia?" "Simply that Mr. Stewart, who ran against Genera! Beaver in 1882, is now for me. I leave you to fill in the gap between that canvass and the present time. I feel Very easy as to the outcome of the contest now in progress." AS TO LOCAL POLITICS. Judge John H. Bailey, Democratic candi date for Mayor, returned home from New York yesterday morning. His trip was taken "with a double purpose. His son was ill, and received treatment from eminent specialists in New Xork. His other motive was to have a period of absolute rest before entering the Mayoralty race in which he proposes to be come an aggressive factor. Although inac cessible to reporters, Judge Bailey called upon several friends, one of whom subse quently talked to a Dispatch representa tive. The Judge stated that he felt in perfect health and intended to manage his own cam paign. The rnmors that he at any time sub sequent to his letter to the Chairman of the City Committee contemplated withdraw ing was scouted by the Judge, who said he had no intention of so obliging his political enemies. It will be the fight ot his life, and he means to win it. As to rumors that per sonal matters would enter into the fight, Judge Bailey remarked that he had not be lieved that the intimations were serious or authentic. On his own behalf, the gentleman whose impressions are above qnoted, said that such charges as were rumored might evolve some retaliations from the friends of Judge Bailey; that others than the Democratic candidate had been assignees, and that the Republican oreans could not play a tune which the Democratic could not match. AFTER PAT FOLEY'S SCALP The Democratic City Committee meets to pight to fix the timeoi the primaries and the date of the convention. The former will, probably, according to current rumor, be ar ranged to take place on Saturday, Februarv 3, and the convention will be held on the Tuesday following. This is in accordance with Judge Bailey's expressed wishes, he having stated that a short campaign is what will best suit him under the circumstances. But above all things harmony is to prevail, except in the Chairmanship of the City Committeee. This honor will be regulated by the vote of the convention. Up to a few days since no one had disputed that Mr. Patrick Foley had the inside track as his own successor! But no less a person than Barney McKenna has been put forward ss Mr. Foley's opponent, and the friends ot Mr. McKenna claim that they will make a mutton pie of Mr. Foley's ambitions. In that event the canvass of Judge Bailey will be under the political management of the last Democratic candidate for the same position. A Social feeasloru Southside Council No. 133, Jr. O. IT. A.

Ellen Potter, a Jew York Dressmaker, Blaze Away at Iler Sleeping Sli ten A Coil of Hair a a Life Saver. New Yoke, January 24. There was a narrow escape lrom a tragedy in a small room on the second story of the house No. 163 East Thirty-second street yesterday, when a demented woman opened fire with a revolver upon her sleeping sisters. Mary, Ellen and Elizabeth Potter, three dress makers, occupied the room? Since the death of their father, a stonecutter, 14 years ago. the sisters had supported themselves, making a living by hard work. Last fall Ellen was sick with a nervous disorder, and her sisters paid for her treatment in a sani tarium in Geneva, N. Y. She improved in bodily health, bnt when she returned to the city it was evident that she was mildly insane. One mark of her insanity was the belief that she had been bewitched by her sister Elizabeth, against whom she nursed a growing grudge, A few months ago the sisters were obliged to seek a cheaper home than the one they had, and they moved into the little room over the rooms of the "I Don't Know" Club, in Thirty-second street. Ellen had a lonnge to sleep on, while her sisters slept on a mat tress on the floor. On Wednesday Ellen asked her sister Mary for $5, with which to buy a bonnet She received the money and bought a loaded revolver at a gun store in Third avenue. That evening she talked of suicide, but her sisters paid little heed to her ravings. Before daylight yesterday she evidently decided to kill her sister Elizabeth, who slept nearest to her on the floor, only a few feet from her lounge. She got up and took the key out ot the locked door. Her sisters were still asleep. She waited until there was light enough in the room to enable her to see their faces, and then she aimed the revolver at Elizabeth's head and fired. The bullet passed over Elizabeth's head and struck the head of her sister. A thick coil of hair saved Mary's life, as the bullet was flattened against her skull without inflicting a serions injury. The powder flash had set fire to the crazy woman's clothes. She smothered the sparks, crying out: "Elizabeth, where are you?" Her sister sprang from the floor and hid near the door after vainly trying to get out. Ellen fired another shot, bntthe bullet struck the mattress. Mary seized her hand and dis armed her. Then two policemen who heard the shots were let into the house. They ar rested Ellen and sent Mary to Bellevne Hotpital. The prisoner kept repeating: "It was an accident. She will forgive me." Aiterward she was committed to Bellevue Hospital to be examined as to her sanity. Probably she will be sent to an asylum. WAS IT KATDRAIi OR SEWER GAS? Chief Bicelow Will Show Schelp Was Killed br tbe Former. If the result of the Coroner's inquest on the death of Charles Scheip, whose death was caused Wednesday by an explosion under his house on Ash alley, results in a verdict that sewer gas caused the explosion, the city will, under the lawsof the Common wealth, be liable for damages. Chief Bige low, of the Department of Publio Works, confidently believes that sewer gas had nothing to do with it, and in order to pro tect the city's interests in the matter, he has caused a complete examination and survey to be made which proves very con clusively that natural gas, if any kind of gas, caused the explosion. A comprehensive map of the locality has been prepared, and it shows the exact position of all the pipes and sewers in the locality. The Equitable Gas Company's 30-inch main, the Phila delphia Company's six-inch main, and the small line of the Pittsburg Gas Company run parallel with each other across the end of Ash alley, at Bank street. Two sewers run along tbe middle of Bank street, one being a private sewer which ran up to and under the Scheip property. 150 feet from thi corner where the sewer" pipes and the gas mains come in close contact. A valve on the Philadelphia Company's main near this corner is said by the employes of the city to be undoubtedly the source of the trouble. The Coroner's inquest will be taken up on this case this morning, and the facts as shown by Mr. Bigelow's map will probably be presented to the jury. JUST THE PLACE TO YISIT. A Saseeitlon That the Country Editors of the Stale Come Hither. The following, from the editorial columns of the Elizabeth Herald, will certainly have the commendation and support of all Pitts burg newspapers and newspaper men: At the annual business meeting of the Penn sylvania State Editorial Association at Harris bunr this week the editor of this paper urged Pittsburg as the rendezvous for the editors in their next annnal summer jaunt, the plan being to have headquarters there, and besides tamng a view of the city and its institutions making a few excursions into interesting regions round about, such as a steamboat trip up the Jfnnongahela, a visit to the gas or oil regions, etc. A number of other places were suggested, but the Pittsburg trip seemed to meet with most favor among the membership. At pres ent this is largely confined to that part of the State. A view of the wonderful industrial de velopment of this region would be a revelation to tbe Eastern editors, and could not fail to bo ot great benefit to this region. We hope our brethren of tbe press in this part of the State will second this invitation by such favorable men tion of it In their columns as they may see fit to make and by assurance of a heartv welcome for the visiting editors should it be decided to make this trip next snmmer. The editor of this paper is corresponding secretary of the association, and anything of this character brought to his notice will find its way to the Executive Committee, who have in their hands the final fixing of a place for the next summer meeting.

The Baroness Ton Liridenan's Daugh ter Will Wed Paul Baum. THE EDNA WAT BARON IS LOCATED. He is Now a Waiter in the Hotel Lafayette of Philadelphia. BO LOTE LOST OYER THE STEPFATHER. The Baroness is Urine Happily With Her Daughter in HttsBnrg. The engagement of the Baroness von Lin denan's daughter to Paul Baum is an nounced. The young people believe in a short courtship, and will soon be married. The Baron, who disappeared about two months ago, has turned up in Philadelphia. Invitations were issued yesterday for the marriage of Miss Annie Lillger, daughter of the Baroness Yon Lindenan to Paul Baum, a waiter at the Duquesue Club. The ceremony is to take place at 5 o'clock on February 12 at the residence of the bride's mother, at 312 Grant street, Pittsburg. The announcement of the mar riage was rather surprising to the friends of Mr. Baum and the Baroness. It is only about two months ago that The Dispatch published a story giving the details of the flight of Baron Von Lindenan from this city. He had been employed as a waiter in the Hotel Duquesne for some time, and was living with his wife, the Bareness, on Grant street, whom he had married several years before in Chicago, when one day ne disappeared from his usual haunts, and a search of the city failed to find any trace of him or where he bad gone. The Baroness took his'disappearance very philosophically, and instead of slowly pin ing away with suppressed grief, and kindred diseases, which beset the ordinary woman whose husband has fled to more congenial climes, she summoned her 17-year-old daughter from Chicago, and proceeded to enjoy life as it came. X-OVE AT FXEST BIGHT. It was not long before the daughter met Mr. Baum, and a mutual friendship soon developed into a more intimate relation, which is commonly called love. Alter a month of courtship they decided to become one. The course of true love in their case was as smooth as a Toronto toboggan slide, and affairs glided along so tranquilly that they concluded to get married, and yester day had tbe invitations issued, which were very pretty in design and exquisitely fash ioned. A Dispatch reporter called at the resi dence ot the prospective bride and mother-in-law on Grant street last evening to ascer tain the facta in the case. He was met at the door by a tall, well-developed voung woman, whose face was covered with charm ing dimples and a complexion as pure as a seasoned peach. "You are going to be married, we under stand," said the reporter. "Yes, sir," she naively replied, and a blush suffused her handsome countenance, which made the interrogator feel like beat ing a retreat "How long have you been in Pittsburg?" was the next question. SHE IS STILL YOUNG. "I came to Pittsburg from Chicago just after the Baron left my mother and havi been here ever since. 1 am only 17 years of age, although you may not think it, and Mr. Baum is 28. We have heard from the Baron indirectly, and at present he is work ing in the Hotel Lafayette in Philadelphia, but we do not care whether we ever hear from him again or not. My mother was married to the Baron in Chicago, and we have never yet been able to understand why he left so suddenly. He was a bona fide German Baron, but had met with reverses before he came to this country. The cer- emon." will be performed here at our apartments, and I expect a couple of friends of mine, the Misses Waterman, on from New York to act as bridemaids, I think you newspaper men have a lot of nerve to come around inquiring about a wedding, anyhow, and I have a notion not to give you any information, but it is not an affair for anyone to be ashamed of, and I don't care who knows it" OVERCOATS AND PANTS.

Dealers and operators in the coal trade are much discouraged at the condition of busi ness. Shipments are unusually light, and the fact that the season is well advanced, with nb prospects of improvement over the past few months, is adding to their feelings of depression. Many pilots have become discouraged, and are preparing, to quit at the first opportunity. Very few firms shipped anything yester day, and those who were fortunate to send anything out, bad nothing to boast of so far as any considerable shipment is con cerned. The John F. Walton went out with 0 boats and 11 barges. The Acorn, with 11 barges, is preparing to go out. The Joseph Walton will leave to-day with 14 barges. Yesterday the Little Fred and Belle Mc Gowan took 2 boats, 12 barges and 7 fuel flats to Wheeling, from whence they will be taken to Louisville. Mr. I. N. Bnnton, when seen yesterday, said that the Pittsburg and Southern was going along smoothly, and making every arrangement to close out its business in the regular manner. In consequence of the de pressed state of trade and poor outlook, a re duction of miners' wages from 3 to 2 cents is said to be contemplated, and a cessation of production is threatened in the mines along the Monongahela river. THE! ARE NOT PLEASED. The Electric Strikers Waiting for the Notice of ibo Betiletnenr. The Electrical Union No. 1 has as yet re ceived no official notification in reference to the terms of tettlement agreed upon by President Gompers and the light companies. Many expressions of discontent are heard, condemning the action of President Gom pers in agreeing upon such an unprofitable result to the men. The official notification will be received by the Electrical Union at its next meeting, on Sunday, when it will be acted upon by that body, and many of those in a position to know say that the disposition of the mem bers is decidedly against the acceptance of the agreement, and the chances are that it will be repudiated. Nobody seems to know just what the union will do. if it takes such a step, but it is generally understood 'that some effort will be made to withdraw from the A. F. of L. It is not claimed by many of the men now out that any better settlement could be made, as all believe that Mr. Gompers was placed in a position where he had to accept little or nothing at all. Whether the men will be acting wisely or will better their condition by refusing to accept the terms of settlement remains to be seen. GRIPMEN MEET. They Bar It Was In Reference to the Ball Which Will be Held. The gripmen who have been idle since the trouble on the Pittsburg Traction line, and I. N. Koss Master Workman of D. A. 3, held a meeting at headquarters yesterday after noon with closed doors. It could not be as certained what the meeting was held for, but the officials stated the committee having the gripmen's ball in charge were simply mak ing a report of progress and also the num ber of tickets sold. There are still a large number of men idle, but manv of tbem express hopes that the road will soon tire of its non-union bands, whom the strikers say are not giving entire satisfaction, and resume with the men dis charged. As it is they have no definite course oi action in view, and are simply bid ing their time.

The PUiterers International Union Don't Need a Walking Delegate. T. W. Megahan, walking delegate for Union No. 31, of the Plasterers Internation al Union, will resign his office at the regular meeting to be held next Tuesday evening. His reason for taking this step is that the business of that organization does not abso lutely require a man specially engaged to look after its interests on outside matters. The original intention was to keep a dele gate engaged only about ten days at a time, but in consequence ot a number of impor tant questions coming up he has been kept employed for nearly six months. After his resignation is accepted no other person will be appointed unless business demands one, but it will only then be for a limited period.

The Dfeiaed Beef Investigation Rename! Its Grind In Washington Rail road Men Have a Word or Two to Say. Washington, January 24. After a re .cess of several weeks Senator Vest's select committee to investigate the alleged dressed beef combine, met to-day and endeavored to throw some light on the matter ot freight rates in the shipment ot cattle. Samuel J. Sloane, of New York, Presi dent of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, was first called, but he had little knowledge of the detailed workings, of his road, and he asked that W. S. Sloane, freight manager of the road, be called. The latter testified that the cattle cars used by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western were not provided with facilities for watering and feeding live stoctc. Only one agreement had been made by the road for the transpor tation of live stock. By this the road paid to another railroad, three-quarters of a centa mile for each car hired from the latter. The companyhad entered into an agreement with the other trunk lines that cars of cattle com panies should be used by tnem. His com pany did not give any advantage to any one shipper over any other shipper. John King, of New York, President of the New York, Lake Erie and Western Bail road, followed Mr. Sloane. He said his com pany was in the agreement not to rent out side cattle cars. The trunk line associations controlled the traffic east of Chicago. Mr. King spoke of the effect tbe inter-State com merce law had on different lines, and sug gested two gentlemen who were better ac quainted with the traffic question than he could appear before tbe committee and give more accurate testimony. It was agreed to summon these gentlemen to appear on Tues day next. C. H. Chappel, General Manager of the Chicago and Alton Railroad, said that his road had made an agreement with other roads as to rates, but this was simply done for harmony of action. This concluded the hearing of all wit nesses present, and the committee adjourned until Taesday next, when the hearing will be continued. The Steps Will Go Up. The committees appointed at Tuesday night's meeting of Duquesne Heights citi zens met last night for the purpose of re porting to each other tbe progress each one had made in regard to the steps to be erected connecting .the hill with Carson street. Enough money has been raised to insure the steps and as soon as the right is secured work will be commenced. THI? Antocrat of the Breakfast Table visited XII Din his Boston home.
