jPJWWIIPir THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, MONDAY, MARCH 24, 1890. 6 WTO HELP WARD Manager Hanlon Leaves for Kew York to Testify. EFFOBTS TO SIGN DUNLAP. Foley Writes an Interesting Letter on Boston Baseball. THE SPORTIXG NEWS OF THE DAY Manager Hanlon goes to New York to testily in the "Ward case to-day. He talks on the matter. It is stated that local Ireagne clnb officials are in Philadelphia trying to sign Dunlap. Foley writes an " interesting letter from Boston. Carroll offers to fight McAulifie again for $10,000 a side. More young local ball players arrive. Manager Hanlon, of the new local club, left the city last evening for New York to testify in the Ward trial, which is expected to be heard to-day. Mr. Hanlon was accom panied to the depot by a few ot his players, " and everyone in the party expressed the greatest confidence in the tesult. Mr. Hanlon particularly was certain that the result of the trial would be just as previous results have been. During a conversation he said: "1 think this will be the last of the court method of fighting, and if the National League can make no better success in the season's con flict than it has done in the courts, its name is Dennis. Our object is to prove that this so- called reserve rule was never intended by either party to operate outside of clubs con trolled by the national agreement. I will tes tify to that effect, and I have some definite evidence to give. Arthur Irn in i ill also make this point very clear by his evidence." ABSOLUTE COJ.TIDEXCE. "If the decision should go against you, what will the new Leacue do ?" "Why, if there was the least probability of such a result I might try and cive a definite answer to that, but the decision will not go agaumus. That is just as sure as relive. But suppose tor a moment that it does go against us. What then ? Why, we would jnst so ahead as we intend to do now. If it were possible to prevent Ward from playing with the new League, that would not stop our work. The new League is in the fight to stay, no matter what the result of the Ward case is." Messrs. Scandrett and Nimick, of the old local club, did not return borne last evening, but they will be here early this morning. A gentleman in a position to know ot their where aDouts said last evening: 'The two local mag nates, and. I think, Mr. O'Neill also, stopped over at Philadelphia to-day. I understand that when tbey went away they intended to try and sign Fred Dunlap before tbey returned. HOT AFTER DUSST. "1 think they are trying to do business with Dunlap to-day cr waiting until to-morrow. One thing is certain, and that is tbey will sign Dun lap if he will play for less, and much less, money than be received last year. Everybody knows that he was overpaid last tear, but the reserve rule did that. lam also inclined to think that Mr. Nim ick is looking ont for one or two old players ana be may get them." Manager Hecker is of ooinion that the local club should at leas get two good players from the Indianapolis club. He would be content with Rusie ana Hines. Mr. Hecker will urge Mr. Nimick to try and get Hinesatany rate. Mr. Hecker's contention is crtalnly a reason able one. If aoy team in the Leagueneedsone or two old plaj ers Pittsburg does. The joung men, no donbt, are of the most promising kind, but one or two reliable and experienced plav ers would not only be an aid ts them bufnould be of great assistance to Manager Hecker. Of course Rusic is not a really experienced player, but he is something more than an untried man. At any rate Pittsburg is of much importance to the National League and it is not onlv fair, but would be highly expedient for the League to put as strong a team in this city as possible. C0KFLICTIXG 0TI0XS. Boston Enthusiasts Have Tnrions Views About ibe New Schedule. Boston, March 2o. There was a diversity of opinion at the Hub over the policy displayed by the League magnates in the rearrangement of the schedule at New York to-day. The baseball "cranks" those who care onlyfor the game and don't care a rap who the players are, so long as they put up a good game of ball are in great distress because of the large num ber of conflicting dates. They wonld be glad to see a game every day, and would have di vided their attentions without any feelings of favoritism. They cannot very well be in two places at the same time, and tbey are kicking to-night because there will be 58 games which tbey must lose. Among the other classes those who have taken up the bats in defense of one side or the other there is great rejoicing. There is a strong feeling in this city over the break, and this feeling is intensified bv the work of the Schedule Committee to-day. The League sympathizers are overjoyed at the prospect of a bitter light. They are confident that the Brotherhood club will bo forced out of the field. The Brotherhood people have all along avowed a desire to submit the nuestion of superiority to the public, and to-night they ex press themselves as satisfied with the outlook. But it has been admitted bv several that the action of the League to-day was a severe blow to the financial success ot the club in this city. They needed all the money they could com mand to pay the "stars" who are now under contract, and they could onlv meet that expense by securing a liberal patronage. The average attendance at the games last year was about 3,000 in round numbers. It would require a lanre percentage of these figures to nay ex penses, and bv dividing the attendance the fronts of each sido were necessarily lessened, t is now a question of good ball playing alone. Thosowho are blinded by prejudice toward either side are so few in number that they are not orth considering. The clnb nhich plays the best came of ball and that includes the average playing of opposing clubs will secure the greater attendance. President Soden and Director Conant re turned to Boston to-day. Both looked happv. Mr. Soden didn't say much, but Mr. Conaut's face was wreathed in smiles. They didn't care anything about the expense, tor they have a good fat treasury to draw from. The Brother hood players have plenty of friends, and they, too, vinl draw well if they remain sober and play good. ball. Thcro aro sivcral, howjver. whose reputations for sohriery are not of the best, and if they reume last year's tactics they will lose whatever support they would have had through personal friendship. On the whole, it looks as though ihe League had a little the best of the situation. M0EB COWS AERITE. A Chtcnso Bnttery for the Old Club Hecker and Contvny. Two more young players for the local Lcagne club arrived in the city yesterday. They were Dave Bennett, a pitcher, and George Zeigler, who caught Scbmitt last season. Both hail from Chicago. Bennett was in the City League of Chicago last season. Tbey come hero on trial. During a conversation last evening Manager Hecker said: "I am well satisfied so far with my pitchers. Scbmitt, Baker and Jones have all done well in their practice, and I led confident that Daniels will be all right from the start. But even when we start in to play it will not be fair to criticise the work of the team for some time. Our players are not only mostly young men, but they have never played together. It will, therefote, take a mtnitli or two before tbey cn get down to their best work. By that timo I feel confident that we will have an excellent team. 1 also think that I will be able to hold my own in the box. One thing is sure, how fver, and that is we will have as good an out field as there ever lias been in Pittsburg. Let nobody make a mistake on that point. We have ftiur good outheloers." Speaking of Cor.way Manager Hecker said: "I wlh the public to understand bow Conway has treated the old clnb. His conduct shows him to be even more ungrateful than Beckley. Lastycar he onlv pitched two gainesaudre ceived between $2,000 and $3,000. After the first month or so of the season he reaneste.l that he be paid only half salary as be cmlcldono work. The directors did this when they had every reason to take his name from the pay roll en tirely. During the feasonhewent away from the city for thiee or four weeks and nobody be longing to the club heard from him or knew where he was. Still bis pay went on. His de sertion shows bow he appreciates the gener osity shown. Why, the Pittsburg clnb has been victimized by these prominent players in the most shameful manner." FOLEY'S BALL GOSSIP.

We have passed SL Pat rick's Day in safety and the baseball war still rages away as fierce and vindictive as ever. The Boston and New York teams of the Play ers' League, spent St. Patrick's Day on board a ship bound for Savannah, but we fail to learn whether any of the boys saw as many snakes as did the patron saint of Ireland. We are in formed, however, that the irrepressible and versatile King Kelly led the march "aboard ship," so it is quite likely that the wine was passed around. Tom Brown and young Catcher Swett arriyed in this city on Monday last, and much to their disgust they found that the boys had started South, so they Immediately started by rail for Savannah. The Boston League team are all here with the exception of Ganzel, Bennett, McGarr and Hard I e. Ganzel and Hardie will be here in a few days and Bennett and McGarr will show np next week. The nlavers will nractice at the Young Men's Christian Association gymnasium until the first of April, when ther will begin out-door exercise. The League club willpro hibly open the season with a picked nine on Fast Day, April 3. At the Brotherhood ground the Bostons and Brooklyns will cross bats in an exhibition game, providing the crounds are fit to play on. A member of the Boston team of 'S3 was up to see me the other day. and he gives this description of the grounds that will be occupied by Captain Kelly's men: TIIE BOSTON GBOUXDS. The grounds are large and spacious, but it will be a very cold spot during April and a part of May. It is facing the harbor, and jingo how the wind does blow at times! In tbe warm sum mer months? Oh, just delightful; nothing could be better! But I don't like tho locality, and, honestly, I consider the Boston grounds a perfect paradise along side the Congress street affair. It is on what they call the dump, and you smell stale swill, raw cowhides and other odors that are really nauseating. I have no doubt but what tbe place can be beautified, but bless your soul its going to taxe a long wnue. There were at least 150 men at work there, and the fence is nearly all up. They are driving spiles for the grand stand, and you ought to see how they fly down into the mud. I saw a tw o horso team crossing the field, and the horse4 sunk to their knees in mud. With good weather and plentv of rolling, it may be possible to play theie by "Fast Day. I think the club would have been much better off had they secured grounds on Huntington avenue, which is near the League grounds. I beard they had an offer foragiound there, but preferred the grounds which are now being fitted up." Tim Murnane, wbo is with the Boston and New Yorks in Savannah, sas that all the players are opposed to taking back Beckley and Miller. But Julian Hart, '"Secretary of the Boston club ot the Plaj ers' League, gave a local leporter a beau tiful "swelling up" the other day. "If the boys take back Miller," saia the volatile Hart, of spring bed fame, "he will probably be trans ferred to Brooklyn, as many of the Pittsburg pla ers object to his playing on the team. The reeling against Beckley is not so strong, and if ho is taken back ne win prooaoiy cover me Initial bag the same as last year. Several players sent letters to tho Cleveland meeting deserters who wanted to get back. One fellow offered S500 to be reinstated, while another one was willing to play the season for nothing if he w as forgiven." Think of a poor, penitent ball player giving ud S500 to be taken back when he is now safely anchored in tbe League! And think of tbe self-sacrifice of another good Christian ball player who is willing to play for nothing, save board and shaving money! Mr. Hart says that Glasscock's name heads the blacklist; that tbe name is written in large black letters, sur rounded by hieroglyphics, cross bones and asterisks, while underneath the name is a large soup howl with the word "Mud" written in large red letters across the center ot tne bowl. Long John ReiUy, of Cincinnati, who is an artist by profession, is supposed to be the originator of this beautiful design. THE HOOSIEBS' BLTJFr. In this city most all baseball enthusiasts be lieve that the League will start out with eight clubs, and that many of the Hoosier players including Boyle, Denny and Glasscock will be found wearing a New York uniform. It looks as if Indianapolis is making a big bluff, and most people believe that Brush will sell out if he gets a good price for his franchise. Mr. Brusb can see that be is not wanted; the way the Schedule Committee gava it to bim in the neck plainly shows that. Tbey shoved Indian apolis in Washington for Decoration Day, which was bad enough to begin with, but to saddle Washington on to Brush at Indianapolis on Fourth of July well that was carrying "the coals to Newcastle" with a vengeance! I think the Brotherhood schedule a very poor one. and I think tbe Players' League club of this citv will get the wor.-t of it with 48 conflicting dates. Ward's team plays here on Fast Day; then tbey open the season here with four games, beginning on the 21st of April; then they are saddled on to Boston again lor two holiday games on the 17th of June Bunker Hill Day. This is going It a little too strong, and it would be better to have New York or Philadelphia here on Bunker Hill Day, as it would insure a big crowd. But tho Triumvirs are laughing up their sleeves when they think that the Buffalo Players' club will be stacked up against them on Decoration Day for two games. Asa matter of fact Kelly's team has not a first-class attraction to play with on any of the holidays. Al Johnson's Cleveland team is booked for here on Labor Day, which will be the best day of all for the Brotherhood clubs if the Knights of Labor support the players tho way they say they wilL It is a great day in this town. All the barrooms are closed, and the people have nowhere to go except to a few out of town pic nics given by the carpenters and other soceities connected with tho Knights of Labor. The Boston and Indianapolis teams played 'two games here on Labor Day last jcar, Detore over 19.000 spectators. Anson's colts are the surprise of the season, and their five consecutive victories over Byrne's team hasshoved their stock away above par. Harry Wright's team, too. made the Brooklyns very tired, while big Sam Thomp son found the Brookly n pitchers the softest mark be bad run up against for a long while. Hoosier Sammy lined out a tingle, double, triple and home run, which gave him a real nice appetite lor supper. Anson's men will open up before an immense attendance at Cin cinnati, one writer, from Porkopolis. going so far as to predict a 15,000 ciowd. Anson will also bo a big card at Brooklyn on Decoration Day, for Brooklymtes are just beginning 'to realize that the Chicagos are quite a ball club. Charles J. Foley. BEDXELIS OPIKI0N. He Talks Very Artfully Abont the National League Schedule. Chicago, March 23. Secretary Brnnell to night, in nn interview, said: "The National League schedule was evidently made up on tbe lines laid down by the Players' League. Tho first National League schedule for ten clubs was Issued. I believe, for the purpose of draw ing ours first and not last. This was under stood at our Clevclanu meeting, but we con sidered that the official notice, showing our club changes during the playing season, was a sufficient guide to the National League if it chore to change its policy of crush and let others live as well as itself. The public wanted our schedule and got it. I have no idea that it will be changed. It suits our clubs, tbe prizes in it are well distributed, audit was adopted unanimously. The National League had evidently determined to conflict with us as much as possible. That suits me so long as the National League goes on record as the party forcing the conflict. If it gets tbe worst of the battle it cannot ask tor the public sympathy. Not one of our teams has anv rea son to fear such a conflict. Each has its old public favorites and public opinion with it, and will, I believe, draw an average of two people to one attending .National League games. As the season cues along and we prove our su periority to the National League in caring for tho public and giving it better baseball than it has ever seen before, the average attendance in our favor will increase."' PK0DD OP TflE BALL CLUB. Mcltrcsport Pushinc Ahead Proposing to Hnvr $10,000 to Buck the Players. McKeesport, March 23. This place has now a Tri-State Basebill League club that the people are proud of. Iu a few days there will be an Allegheny County League club also. The game has never before created such in terest here as it has this year. Better men at the back of the Tri-Stato League could not be found here, yet some complain that their leaso on the Evans grounds is iar too short. Four moneyed men are to take tbe association, in. create its capital to 10,000 and push ahead as rap.dly as possible. Torrejson and Miller (the latter an able aid) will go to Akron. O., to-morrow to attend the Tri-State League meeting, at which the schedule tor the season will be prepared. BKUSITS ALLEGED SCHEME. It Is Claimed That He Tried to Join tbe Brotherhood. IXDlASAyoLis, March 23. It was learned to-day of a slick trick that President Brush at tempted to accomplish on the League. When he foresaw what the action of the secret meet. lng of the magnates in New York would be, he made up his mind to take bis club with its 19 players Into the Brotherhood. His visit to Cleveland soon after the recent League meet ing was to lay the scheme before "Al" Johnson, and his trip to Chicago the first part of this week was for the uurpose of consulting Secre tary BrunnelU It; is stated that Brush was In consultation with Brunnell for two davs. and begged to be allowed to come into the Brotherhood. Brush's proposition was rejected by the Brotherhood people, and there was nothing for the Indianapolis President to do but goto New York and consent to tbe sur render of his players, or be forced out of the League. Tho Indianapolis players booked for New York say they will not go unless given stiff ad vances in salaries. BEAT TOE CHICAGOS.

Cnrroll Willing to Fight Jack McAullffe Again for S10.000. San Francisco, March 23. Light-weight Jimmie Carroll said this afternoon in the Sec retary's room ot the California Athletic Clnb that he was not satisfied with the result of last night's battle with Jack McAullffe, and would challenge tbe New Yorker to fight him to a finish,JQucensberry or London, for 510,000 a side, 133 pounds limit. Carroll's former back ers, Messrs. J. Snrcckles, Charles Sutra and others, are still willing to pin their faith and dollars to the plucky veteran, and, as Dick Roche said this afternoon that he would back McAullffe for $1U,000 a side against any man in the light-weight class, another meeting is among the probabilities. K. Booth, an Omaha sport, signifies his will ingness to back Jack Davis, a promising young heavy-weight of tbe Nebraska metropolis, to the extent of $3,000 against the winner of tho Wiison-Choyneski battle next Wednesday nighc McAuliife's bands are something ap palling to gaze on, but outside of this and slightly swollen lips there are no signs of pun ishment worth mentioning to-day. The back of Carroll's head where it hit the floor when knocked insensible bears a good-sized gooso egg, and is very sore. His right eye has a mouse under it, and bis lips are considerably swollen up. He has little to say about his de feat, except that he lost through over-conn dence in the forty-seventh round. ELECTED OFFICERS.

Police stopped tbe fight at Mechanics' Hall to-night, between Mike Conley. the "Itbica Giant." and Frank Glover, formerly of Chicago, after the men bad fougbt two rounds. Glover was considerably punished. Sporting Notes. The two schedules show that the battle, will be a hot one. Conway may be an expensive luxury for the Brooklyn Players' team. Al Scandrett evidently has bad his way in paralleling the schedules. It is estimated that $100,000 changed hands on tbe Carroll-McAuliffe battle. Paddy McBride. the feather weight pugi list will likely be in the city to-morrow or Wednesday. TIIE local Leaguo club authorities should at once begin and put down the cinder path in Recreation Park. It is not likely that the local League clnb will tronble Conway at all regarding his vio lating his contract. Dick Roche, McAnllffe's backer, says that the latter broke his right hand in the fourth round. This sounds very incredible. Manager Hecker will try and arrange for his team to go to Harrisbnrg on April I, as the championship season will have opened on April 21. President Hewett. of the Washington club, savs that there will probably be 12 clnbs in the National League next year. Indeed there won't.

Mutrle will be just about as strong with bis team as he ever was."

The Noted Soldier, Diplomat and Congressman Passes Away '' AFTER A YERY BRIEF ILLNESS. Even Close Friends Scarcely Knew That He Was Indisposed. BLAINE QUITE INTIMATE WITH HIM. The Man TVho Was Credittd With Introuttcing Poker in England. General Robert Camming Schenck died at his home in "Washington last even ing. The remains will be interred at Day toD, the General's old home. The last ill cess was short, and serious danger was not apprehended until Saturday. mrECIAL TKLEORAM TO TBI BISPATCH.t Washington, March 23. Between B nnd 6 o'clock this evening General Robert Camming Schenck, who daring his lengthy career has distinguished himself as a sol dier, diplomat and Congressman, breathed his last. His death was caused by pneu monia, superinduced by severe bronchitis. About five years ago General Schenck was supposed to be dying with Bright's dis ease, but a rigid diet of bread and milk saved his life, and he has been since that time comparatively well. It was not until yesterday that it was known that he was seriously ill, but when his lriends heard of it, they were prepared Major General Robert C. Schenck. for the worst, because of his advanced age. He had been ailing for about two weeks, but attached very little importance to his com plaint. It was not until last Tuesday that it was thought necessirv to call in a physi cian. Dr. H. C. Yarrow was Eent for and found General Schenck suffering from capillary bronchitis. Afterward pneu monia of the right lung set in and later the left lung became involved. Dr. Yarrow called Dr. O'Reilly in consultation. THE LAST DAY. "When Dr. Yarrow visited General Schenck this morning he ionnd him much worse, and it was discovered that a diphthe ritic exudation was commencing on the right side of the throat. He became brighter about noon, but from that time grew rapidly weaker until the end came. His mind was clear and bright to the very last His three daughters, Mrs. Bates, an old friend, and Miss Sedgwick were with him at the time of his death. The General, with his wife and two daughters, lived in a large and fashionable honse on Thomas Circle, just across Fourteenth street from tho residences of Senators Morrill. Alli son and Payne. The General has occupied himself as a counselor at law, and has lived in semi-retirement. He has been engaged in many important legal cases, but has not appeared in court for several years. He was on terms of the closest Intimacy with tbe prominent men of the capital of both political parties, and be has been often sought for to give political and legal advice. One of General Schenck's warmest and closest friends was Secretary Blaine, who had great admiration for his friend's abilities as a lawyer, politician and diplomat, and has sought his aid in the preparation of many State pa pers. Very frequently Mr. Blaine has gono out for a constitutional walk, bringing np at tbe residence of General Schenck and spend ing an hour in friendly conversation. In his "Twenty Years of Congress," Mr. Blaine has this to say of the character and services of General Schenck in speaking of tho strong members of the Thirty-eighth Congress. THE OPINION OF BLAINE. "Robert C. Schenck was an invaluable addi tion to the House. He had been serving in the field since tbe outbreak of the war. but had been induced to contest the return of Vallan digham to Congress. His canvass was so able and spirited that, though in other parts of the State the Democrats captured eight Republi can districts, he defeated Vallandigham in a Democratic district. Mr. Schenck had origin ally entered Congress in 1843, at Si years of age, and, after a distinguished service of eight years, was sent by President Fillmore as Minister Plenipotentiary to Brazil. After his return he had taken no part in political affairs until now. llis reappearance in Congress was, tuereTbre, significant. He was at once placed at the head of the Committee on Military Affairs, then of superlative importance, and subsequently was made Chairman of Wajsand Means, succeed ing Mr. Stevens in the undoubted leadership of tho House. Ho was admirably fitted for the arduous and difficult duty. His perceptions were keen, his analysis was extraordinarily rapid, his power of expression remarkable. In the five-minute discussion in committee of tne whole he was an intellectual marvel. The com pactnessand clearness of hisstatement,tbe facts and arguments which he could marshal in that brief time, were a constantsurprisc and delight to his hearers. No man in Congress during the present generation has rivalled his singular power in tbis respect. He was able in every form of discussion, bnt his peculiar gift was in leading and controlling in committee of the whole." Probably tbe most nnfortunato incident m the interesting life of General Schenck is that which occurred when he was Minister to En gland and nas ci edited with the honor of having introduced the American game of draw noker into Great Brltatn. His name lias ever since been connected with that seductive pastime in a way that has not at all times been pleasant. ON SLIOHT FOUNDATION. General Schenck has always said that he was not entitled to tho honor. His reputation as poker authority rested on nothing more sub stantial than tbe preparation by him of a little pamphlet containing a few of the simple rules of the game, for the information of his friends In London, which wa privately circulated.

Vonshlosbeny River ConI Operators In Presslns Noed of Men. rSr-ICIAI, TELEGRAM TO TUB DISPATCH.! West Newton, Pa., March 23. There are perhaps few, if any, instances in the history of Youghiogheny river mining when coal miners were such a scarce, article as they are to-day. It may bo doubted, yet is a fact, that more than 500 miners could rind steady work on each side of the Yough. between Scott Haven and Mc Keesnort. because any number are being advertised for daily. This scarcity is made all the moro strange from tbe fact that the mines in these regions have been m full operation al most continually for the last eight months. There has been no short nor prolonged general strike at any time in this period, while there was a long idleness in the Monongaheiaregions, which usually results in many of the miners go ing to tho railroad works, and generally causea too great an influx of men along the Youghiogheny. Operators in these regions are complaining daily, and even the small works are sending nut word that they can accommodate 50 to 75 more men. Many are wa nted at Scott Haven, Alpsville, Osce'da and Lake Shore, and each need at least 50 more men and cannot get them. N. J. Bigley wants 100." They are in fact needed badly at all points along the Yough. K1TI10-GLICKU1SE tXPhOSIOX Kills n Sinn, Woman and Child, nnd a. Team of Horses. SPECIAL TELECEAM TO THE DlSPATCn.3 Decatur, Ind.. March 23. A man named Barr was blown to atoms and a mother and her babe were instantly killed yesterday by an ex plosion of nitro-glycerine near Stoue. a small station south of this city. Barr's horses Mere also killed, and his wagon torn into splinters. The explosion dug up a circle of ground about CO yards in diameter, tore the windows from the house in which the dead woman was sitting uith ber child, and wrought general havoc No traces of either tbe man or horses arc to be found excepting small pieces of flesh banging upon tbe trees. remote from the spot where the explosion occurred. The detonation was heard miles away. ROGERS' ROYAL NEEJINE Is a Strictly Vegetable Brain Restorative. EIPPEESWORK. Continued from lirst Page. Garfield would take a nomination. Lieutenant Governor Lampsonj who was ousted by tbe present Legislature, may become a competitor for the nomination. Ex-Senators Ford and Woolcott are also said to be candidates. Tbe Democrats will hardly put up a candidate. It would simply oe a waste of time. The Twentieth district is Republican. Con- firessman Wickham is now in this district and s serving bis second term. Ex-Senator Ely. State Representatives Layton andBramanbave been named in connection with thejnomination. Either would be a good candidate. Tbe Demo crats have not as yet hit upon anyone to make the sacrifice. The Twenty-first district was cnt out to be Democratic but there is considerable doubt as to tbe fit of the garment. Congressman Bur ton, Republican, is on his first term, and it is believed be would like to make the race again. If a candidate he wonld dnnbtless receive the nomination. Thomas L. Johnson, a believer in Henry George, is the probable Democratic can didate, but ex-Congressman Foran may rise up against bim. In that event there would bo fun. Tbis comprises tbe Congressional districts and tbe most prominent candidates at this time, but there is no telling what the nominat ing harvest may bring forth. The gerrymander may inure to the benefit of tbe Democracy, bnt that is a debatable question. The people may sit down heavily on the work of the "rippers."

The load glanced from his right temple, causing a serious though not a fatal wound. IN its first stages, can be successfully checked by the prompt use of Ayer's Clierry Pectoral. Even in the later periods of that disease, the cough is wonderfully relieved by this medicine. " I have used Ayer's Cherry Pectoral with the best effect in my practice. This wonderful preparation once saved my life. I had a constant cough, night sweats, was greatly reduced in flesh, and given up by my physician. One bottle and a naif of tho Pectoral cured me." A. J. Eidson, M. D., Jiiddlcton, Tennessee. " Several years ago I was severely; ill. The doctors said I was in consumption, nnd that they could do nothing for me, but advised me, as a last resort, to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. After taking this medicine two or three months I was cured, and my health remains good to the present day." James Birchard, Darien, Conn. " Several years ago, on a passage home from California, by water, I contracted so severe a cold that for some days I was confined to my state-room, and a physician on hoard considered my life in danger. Happening to have a bottlo of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, I used it freely, and my lungs were soon restored to a healthy condition. Since then I have invariably recommended this prep aration." J. B.
