rEPECf AL TKLBOKAM TO THE DISPJITCO.1
Lancaster, May 4. The fierce political
contest waged at the Republican primaries
in thit county on Saturday may not be con
cluded until the final decision of the board
of return judges to-morrow. The present is
what is known as the big- year in local poli
ties, nominations for municipal and county
ofiices fallinj; tojrether triennially. The im
portance of the contest was added to by the
nominations for Congress and State Senator
in the Fourteenth district and delegates to
the State Gubernatorial Convention also hap
pening to be chosen at this time.
It was in all respects the most interest
ing and remarkable contest ever known in
Republican ranks here, calling out the
largest vote ever polled and accompanied
by the greatest expenditure of money and
debauchery of the ballot. It was equally
remarkable in the spectacle it presented of
iormer friends battling against each other
and enemies of long standing suddenly
reconciled and working together for the
same candidates.
BKOSIDS AX EAST TVIKXER.
It early became apparent that the two
term principle would give Congressman
Brosius a walkover. All the schemes of
the opposition to combine on a candidate
against him came to naught and failed to
disclose 'any candidate strong enough to
make the fight. "When at a late day S. U.
Myers concluded to announce himself, it
was against the judgment of most of his po
litical friends, and the result shows that
while there was a strong protest against
Brosius, it was without organized strength
( or effective direction. He will have more
' majority than Myers haB votes, and already
his supporters throw up their hats for
Brosius for a third term.
It is clearly recognized, too, that some of
his most discreet friends had an understand
ing with the Hartman ring taction that
Brosius should not be hurt if he kept his
fingers out ot the other fights. A like ar
rancement operated largely to the advantage
of E. K. Martin, the local candidate for
Lieutenant Governor. He picked out sir
delegates pledged to support his cause in the
State Convention and put them into the
field. He allowed his caose to be compli
cated with no other candidate's interests and
was spared opposition from many of his old
enemies on this account.
VERT SEAB DErEAT.
"While Martin's men for delegates had
practically a walkover in the country dis
tricts, an element of intense opposition to
the city delegates for Martin developed in
ice past weeic, ana came very near to visit
ing defeat upon Lancaster's State candidate
in his own home district. Since last Mon
day the Iriends of General Hastings, led by
Colonel B. F. Eshelraan, aide.) by William
E. Leeds from Philadelphia, and "Mr. Law
rence Brown, of Bellefonte, who has been
here in person, had been trying to carry the
town against Martin to elect Dr. H. E.
Muhlenberg to the State Convention in
Hastings' interest.
They failed by 150 in a total vote of 3,745,
which was uncomfortably close for Martin's
man Bhckeuderfer. but now that he has a
full local delegation of six, be goes to the
State Convention with a hopeiul outlook
and ready to serve anybody except Hastings
after Delamater is retired from the contest
for first place. Ugly rumors are afloat of
large sums of noneysent here both in the
interest of Hastings and of what was con
strued to be the Quay slate, and certain it is
that during the past week there has been no
scarcity of boodle on either side, and that on
Saturday afternoon as high as 5 were paid
for individual votes for State delegates.
CASIEKOX'S FBIEKSS USING.
Senator Cameron's immediate friends
throughout the contest showea a disposition
to work through quietly a Legislature dele
gation that would be favorable to his re
nommation, and in this they seem upon the
wholeto have been successful. They had
no serious interference from Brosius, Martin
or the distinctly Quay elements. For Sen
ator in the upper district Kauffman was
recognized as the Quay candidate and Smith
as the stratght Cameron favorite, but the
third candidate, J. Stober, backed bv Boss
Mentzer and ex-Senator Boebuck, turned up
as a powerful third faction, and up to late
this afternoon the three were abreast in the
race.
It may require the official vote to deter
mine which of them is elected, and there
will probably be not over 100 difference be
tween ihera. The chances at present are in
Stober's favor, with Smith second and
Kauffman third all scared and none nope
less. Bellingi'elt falls away behind. In
the city district the piesent member of the
Legislature, W. W. Franklin, won by 500
over Frank McClain, who was backed by
both Sensenig and Mentzer- In the lower
Assembly district A. C. Baldwin, the pres
ent member, is renominated, with second
place in doubt between Baby and Heidel-
baueb. In the upper district Seifert and
Boyd, both of whom were deteated by very
close votes two years ago. are certainly
nominated, with the chances favoring Dr.
H. K. Blough for third place.
A. rorULAB CANDIDATE.
For SheriQjJohn Sides proved as popular
as had been predicted, and wins by an
enormous majority. He had widespread
popular sympathy, and owes his success to
no particular boss or faction, although Levi
Sensenig, J. W. Johnson and J. T. Strine
backed him heartily. Two of his deputy
ships are already assigned to ex-Deputy
Hippey and Charles M. Strine, who on the
eve of the primarv withdrew as a candidate
for Quarter Sessions Clerk.
The most jubilant man in the countv, and
the one who carries it out with the greatest
pcisuuu victory, is i,ew iiartman. Three
years ago he ran for a Fecond term as Pro
thonotary and was flattened out. His
enemies followed up his defeat with crimi
nal prosecution of his friends in several
election boards and sent them to jail. He
seemed to be ruined as a politician. His
candidate for Mayor in February last was
beaten, hundreds of the Mentzer Republi
cans openly cutting him.
When Hartman proposed to run again for
a lucrative county office his best friends de
nounced his scheme as suicidal, and pre
dicted that he would drag down a'll his fac
tion in defeat. A violent quarrel with Levi
Sensenig some weeks ago seemed to drive
away his strongest supporter, but he has
triumphed over all and galloped over the
course an easy winner. His candidate for
Register, Geyer, and for County Treasurer,
Hiestand, have also pulled through, and his
reconciliation with the Martin forces prom
ises to be permanent On the balance of the
ticket there was a scattering fight, and the
winners for all the places cannot positively
be named until the returns from the back
districts are brought to town to-morrow.

Their Fun Some of Them Fat Oat of
Temptation's Way for Awhile Sunday
Follce Coons.
Forty-six ladies and gentlemen stepped up
to Piper Gripp yesterday morning, and paid
for the merry dance they led the police the
evening before.
Mrs. Mary Carroll, of the Yellow Row,
was arrested early yesterday morning, sur
rounded by 157 bottles of beer, and seven
earnest and enthusiastic drinkers. Mrs.
Carroll's busband was caught at the same
trick a week ago, and was sent to the work
house for 60 days. He will get out just one
week before his wife. The rest of the party
was discharged.
Mike Boho was married Saturday
evening at the residence of his brother on
Tustin street. After the bride the greatest
attraction was found in four "quarters" of
beer. The festivities were at their height,
and all the sleepy people in the neighbor
hood were cursing the party, when Officer
Bacley swooped down and arrested the
bridegroom and seven male guests. Magis
trate Gripp was lenient and discharged
them all.
Peter Boyle volunteered to instruct Officer
Arthur in his duty. Boyle will have 30
days in which to draw up new police regu
lations. Stella Koehler, of 433 Thirty-third street,
was arrested for selling liquor without a
license, and her five guests were taken
along. No liquor being found the whole
party was discharged.
The other cases were trifling and were dis
posed of summarily.
The increased number of saloons on the
Southside evidently had an effect on the
police business in that section of the city
Saturday night, as there were 39 cases be
fore Magistrate Succop at the Twenty
eighth ward station yesterday morning.
This was exclusive of the persons who were
arrested on warrants for illegal liquor sell
ing. Of the latter class Mrs. Elizabeth
Coxen, Jacob Eichley, John Shay and
Frank Meyers furnished bail yesterday
morning for a hearing.
Early yesterday morning Inspector Mo
Kelvey and Captain Stewart called at the
residence of Ed Grinder, No. 126 South
Twenty-first street, to see how his business
was prospering. The time was a little un
seasonable for a lively traffic, but, early as
it was, the officers found that the host was
still doing business at the old stand. They
wefe sorry to drag Mr. Grinder away from
his business, but it had to be done, and the
trio started for theJTwenty-eighth ward sta
tion, where Judge Succop was holding
court. Mr. Grinder was unable to pay a
fine of ?50 and costs on the charge of keep
ing a uisoruerir noose, maae against, bim
by Inspector McKelvey, and was committed
for 60 days.
Mayor Wyman's hearing yesterday morn
ing was prolific of a number of disorderly
conduct cases, but none of them of any un
usual interest. John McGuire paid $10
ana costs. John barber and James Mar
tin went to jail for ten days and James
Malarkyfor five, while Thomas Walsh,
Jack Burke, Tonie Lendo, Frank Seisan,
Joe Farmer, Peter Roman, Alex Brown
and George Brown paid $5 and costs each,
all for disorderly conduct.
Magistrate Hyndman disposed of seven
drunks and disorderly cases at the Nine

ICOnKXSrOXDEITCE OF T1TJE DISPATCn. 1
New Yobk, May 5. As a rule all pro
fessional actors affect some whimsical ec
centricity after arriving at a certain degree
of prominence. I mingle with hundreds of
them almost daily, and each and everyone
is possessed with the idea that to be suc
cessful on the "staige" some little caper
must be cut in their everyday life to attract
attention.
Yesterday I was being shaved in the St.
James Hotel barber shop, when X noticed
Stuart Robson sitting next to me, with a
waxed-haired, razor-wielder standing idly
yet interestedly looking on. The famous
funny fellow was shaving himself, and the
sound of that blade traversing the stubble
field of his physiognomy was like unto the
gentle touch of a small boy, a short stick
and a paling fence.
He won't allow a barber to divest him of
that hirsute wire which adorns his face, and
the greatest joke about this idea is that he
doesn't know how to shave himself. He
looks like he needed a shave, no matter
how often the habit has been indulged in
during the week.
MAKES THE BABBLES STABE.
Another strange feature of this jugglery
is that instead of Mr. Robson shaving him
self down, as other mortals" do, he pcrsist
ingly pushes the sharp steel up against the
gqin of the beard. The barbers all stand
back aghast and wonder how he survives
such an ordeal, but no one is more compla
cent than he when the job is done. The
clever comedian then seeks the washstand,
allowing the bowl to be filled with cold
water, into which he plunges his whole head
and face, holding bis breath as long as pos
sible. After this the poor barber gets a
chance at him.
His only opportunity has now arrived,
and he takes advantage by vigorously
rubbing down the "patient," who will not
deltfn to allow a plebeian handle him. After
all this is finished Mr. Robson pays the
usual price of a shave, shampoo and "brush,
but practically he has done all the work
himself.
One not in the business cannot imagine to
what a poor stage-struck girl is subjected
when she faces the stern and critical man
ager of a company, there to display her tal
ents, whatever they may be. I accompa
nied a young lady the other day to a man
ager's office up town jnst to see and hear
what goes on in such a place when a new
subject arrfves. The young actress during
the past season has been a popular favorite
throughout the countrv, possessing lots of
personal beauty and a very charming voice,
besides having other accomplishments which
go to make up the requisites of a successful
all-around actress.

SHOWBILLS SOUNDLY DEJT0UKCED.
A Street Preacher Entertains nXarjte Crowd
in Allesheny.
An outdoor evangelist named Grier, who
on Sunday evenings declaims from the
eastern steps of the Allegheny Citv Hall,
last evening stoutly berated a goodly-sized
assemblage of people, who stood in the
drizzle, for the manifold sins of these twin
cities. He denounced, as a burning dis
grace, the display on bill boards of "the
pictures of variety show and comic opera
beauties. "They are," he declared, "vile
in every sense. Their gaudy colors attract
the youth young girls as woll as young
men. Fathers and mothers, would yon be
willing to dress your sons and daughters in
the style of these pictures and let them walk
down street No, you would not. But you
think nothing of letting th,em see these pic
tures on the walls and in the windows. They
are not satisfied with seeing them. They
must go to the theater where the plays are
presented, and thtfs not only vitiate their
minds, but waste their money and their
time. If all the Christian people of these
two cities would unite, they could suppress
the vile representations within two weeks.
"How the Sabbath is desecrated herel
To-day I saw a horrible thine. A man, who
secured his license by not telling the truth,
had his saloon doors wide open. The six
week days were not enough for him, but he
must desecrate the Sabbath by having work
men laying a new floorfor him, for the sake
of the mighty dollar. If whisky was not
drank there, it is beyond my comprehension.
If Jesus Christ were on earth he would shed
no tears over 6uch a mean, low-lived, con
temptible, vile, unprincipled scoundrel."
HE LUKES RAIHY DAYS.
Officer Crossan Apparently Not la It an Nice
Weather.
"This is the kind of weather J like to
see," said Officer Garrett Crossan, one of the
handsomest policemen on the force, as he
knocked the rain from his helmet with his
mace yesterdav afternoon at the postoffice
corner. It had been raining steadily all
afternoon, and the onlyprotection the officer
had was a gumcoat; yet, despite this fact, he
was happy. "I have not been compelled to
say 'move on' once to-day, which is a rare
occurrence on Sunday. You see, a rainy
day keeps the loafers off the avenue, and the
heavier the rain the fewer loiterers are to be
seen. On a nice day it beats anything to
see the way young fellows will stand, block
ading the sidewalk, and it gets monotonous
to tell the same crowds every half honr or
so to get a move on. .
"When the young loafers see me coming
they gaze up at the top of the building on
the opposite side of the street, and study the
architecture of the structure. On rainy days
they like to take up positions in doorways
and study the footgear of young women.
As I said before, tastes are different. I like
rainy days, notwithstanding my wet condi
tion, and dislike sunshiny weather."
An Ex-Pollcerann Considered Insane.
Owen Hummel, an ex-policeman, late
night watchman at Brown & Co.'s Iron and
Steel Works at Tenth street, was arrested
last night while roaming through the
Twentieth ward. He is stated to be insane,
and was committed to jail for ten days by
Magistrate Succop, in order that his mental
condition may be looked into.

Cincinnati, May 4. A West Union,
O., special to th Commercial Gazette says:
It has at last been definitely ascertained that
C. ESiIcott,the defaulting cashier of Sergeant-at-Arms
Leedom's office, has been a resident
of the Isle or Wight (England) since his mys
terious disappearance from New York last
winter. Soon after Silcott's disappearance his
wife came to this county (their, old home) and
visited her brother-in-law at Youncsville
SIick" Silcott. Several days after that Sam
Colfas, of Baltimore, as he was introduced,
called on Mrs. Silcott ana accompanied her to
West Union, where her father resides. nnlfi
only remained here ore hour and then left for
the East. He explained his visit by saving
that he had stepped off to see how Mrs. Silcott
was. by request of her son. Craved, Mho held a
position in one of the departments at Wash
ington. Mrs. Silcott remained m this vicinity
until about two weeks aco, when she received
several telegrams one a cypher one, and then
Sam Colfas again mado his appearance for an
other hour.
Mrs. feilcott had her clothing all packed and
seemed to be awaitlnc his coming. She was
driven to the depot by Colfas. and they left on
the first east-bound train. Mrs. Silcott told
some of her friends that she was going to her
son's, who had removed to Baltimore since his
father's disappearance. At Baltimore she took
passage for England, and in a letter yrltten to
a near relative, found by a gentleman
of Youngsville. which had been lost
by the person for whom it was in
tended and by whom It evidently had been
read and lost, says that Silcott met her, and
that now they aro happily settled." Mr.
Leeaom. who is now at home here, received a
telegram from Washlncton yesterday evening
stating that Mrs. Silcott was met by her hus
band on the Isle of Wight. From appearances
now it would seem that several persons, near
relatives, have not been near so ignorant of his
whereabouts at any time as has been the gen

Cincinnati, May 4. The semi-annual

54,256 69 more than was divided last October,
and 4.493 37 more than was shared a jear

UlTPLEASAIf T FOE HER.
She wished to join a certain company
which goes out with a new niece next season.
and the manager is endeavoring to get to
gether a band of bright lights in the pro
fession. The young lady answered an invi
tation to call at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
When she made her appearance she was
welcomed only with a business-like warmth
by the cold and worldly manager. About
the room sat several other men, who were
joking and telling hard-luck stories about
some rival companies, which was a "frost"
in Denver, or 'Erisco, and immediately -alter
expatriating npon the enormous business'
done by their party in Omaha, or Chicago.
While all this talk was going on, we entered.
"Are you ready to try your voice. Miss
So-and-So," askec the manager, at the same
time motioning for a professor of music to
the piano. -
"Yes," she answered, hesitatingly, as she
worriedly gazed about the room at the ogling
spectators, "uui, continued sne, "not be
fore all these strangers."
"Why, certainly, they won't hurt you."
And so she had to display her vocal tal
ents in the presence of a whole room full of
people. She afterwards told me that such
an experience was extremely embarrassing
and unsatisfactory, much more so than be
fore a large audience in a tneater.
HOW STABS AEE DISCOVERED.
I siso discovered that many of the stran
gers sitting around were the agents of dif
ferent managers who are constantly on the
lookout for new material in the profession,
and if this young lady or any one made a
favorable impression on them, they so re
port to their respective eraplovers. Thus it
is that many stars are brought out in the
the theatrical world; also the chances are
that many are kept in the background just
because of the mortifying presence of bold
bad men at a "private" rehearsal. '
H. P. Dilworth, the prominent voung
commission broker of your city, is"at the
Gilsey. I had a very entertaining talk
with him there yesterday upon subjects of
general interest to Pittsburgers. He is a
young man of nineteenth century ideas
coupled with ,an indefatigable disposition,'
which has placed him loremost in the
younger ranks of business men of the Gas
City. He has just passed the thirtieth mile
stone, but his premature gray hair a singu
lar feature of the 'Dilworth family leads
people to think him much older. His firm
recently became associated with the Claus
oprecKies mammoin sugar rehneries, which
is the largert in the world and one which
has successfully battled against the great
Suear Trust.
Mr. Dilworth is also identified with coal
and glass interests in "Western Pennsyl
vania. He speaks of Pittsburg and its ad
jacent towns as being in a happy state of
prosperity, far exceeding any era in its his
tory. Now that the Schenley heir is con
templating more improvements he thinks
that Pittsburgers should be abundantly sat
isfied with its plethorio gain, as against the
larger cities in the country, He goes from
here to Boston, where business engagements
will occupy his full time.
TO EUROPE FOR BEST.
Wilson G. McCandless, with his family
have apartments at the St. James. They
will sail for Europe on the 14th, so I am in
formed. Mr. McCandless, his many friends
will be glad to learn, is enjoying better
health than for months past. He tells me
that New York agrees with him far more
than Pittsburg, which is accounted for in
the fact that he indulges in that panacea
for all ills rest to a much larger deirpR
here than when involved in the trying du
ties of a bank president.
it is prooaDiy distasteful to anyone to
have his native city run down by a non
resident, but the way Philadelphiaus are
quizzsd when they come over here is some
thing pitiful to behold. And they deserve
it, too. I had occasion to run over there
this week, and the contrast was so great that
my friend who accompanied me could
not remain over night When anyone
speaks of going to Philadelphia, he invaria
bly is met with the remark, "Philadelphia?
Why where is that place? Is it on the map?"
To lurther Illustrate the disdainful feeling
a New Yorker has for the City of Brotherly
Love and green shutters, a little colloquy in
the "City Directory," between the clerk and
porter oi a notei, nttmgfy covers it.
A new feuest arrives, the porter takes his
card and baggage up to the office, while the
countryman from the banks of the Schuylkill
awaits the assigning of his room. As the
porter .goes out, the clerk asks, "Where's
the gentleman from?" "Philadelphia,"
answers the porter. "Well go up and show
him how to turn off the gas." The audi
ence fairly howl at this bit of ib-called
humor, at the expense of "the water station"
00 miles from here.
the Local Accommodations on
Pennsylvania Will bo Hammers.
Chief Train Dispatcher Culp, of the
Pennsylvania road, is. a busy man these
days, working on the summer schedule. He
went to Altoona last evening to confer with
the officials there about running the trains.
Mr. Culp could only say definitely that
the schedule of the through passenger trains
would not be changed, except that the
Eastern express that leaves the city at 1 p.
M. will rnn IS minutes faster to Al
toona, making the trip by 5:45, instead
of 6 o'clock. The schedule of the local
trains has not been prepared either, but all
the trains as far out as Wall will be
quickened. Some of the trains will make
fewer stops than now, while others will
make all the stops, but faster time will be
made Detween stations, xne engines are
capable of making almost 60 miles an hour.
Some important changes in the running
ot trains are to be made on the West Penn.
Superintendent Hutchinson would like
to put on fast express trains, but he
doesn't see his way clear. The local ac
commodations as "far as the Allegheny
liver will be increased by the addition of
several trains. This will relieve the traffic
on this end of the line, and the through
trains can make fewer stops and better time
from Butler Junction into the city. More
trains will also be added to the Butler
branch.
Superintendent Hutchinson has the grad
ing done for additional track, but he can't go
ahead with the work until the appropriation
is authorized by the directors.
A LAZY OAKLAND HAN'S DOG.
Trained to Drop The Sunday Dispatch Into
the Postofuco Box.
A well-known resident of Oakland has a
large Newfoundland dog that is a wonder
in his way and he weighs about 160
pounds. The gentleman walked into The
Dispatch business office yesterday, accom
panied by his dbg, and purchased an addi
tional paDer to mail to a relative in Illinois.
The paper was wrapped up, and after plac
ing a 2-cent stamp on the wrapper and ad
dressing it, the gentleman gtve the paper
to the dog. The owner got into his buggy
and drove to the postoffice, the dog rnnning
alonside the horse. At the postoffice the
gentleman stopped, but the dog didn't He
mounted the steps, trotted down the corridor
to the receiving boxes, and talking hold of
one end of the paper in his teeth, he inserted
the other in the opening into the paper box,
and with his nose pushed it through the.
hole. He had no hesitancy about brushing'
his wet coat up against the light check,
trousers of several young men standing near
the box. and when one of them wanted to
help him puih the paper through the open
ing he growled, as much as to say, he knew
his business and could get along without
outside assistance.
After depositing the paper in the box the
dog bounded out again to his master, who
was waiting for him. "It took me two
weeks to train him to do that trick, but it
paid me for the trouble," said the gentle
man, as he drove off. i

In the Spring
Nearly everybody needs a good medicine. The
impurities which havo accumulated in the
blood during the cold months must be ex
pelled, or when the mild days come, and the
effect of bracing air is lost, the body is liable to
be overcome by debility or some serlJtts dis
ease. The remarkable success achieved by
Hood's Barsaparilla, and the many words of
praise it has received, make it worthy yonr
confidence. It is the "ideal Spring Medicine."
"Last spring I was completely fagged out
Mv streneth left me and I felt sick and miser
able all'tbe time, so that I oould hardly attend
to my business. Hood's Barsaparilla cured me.
There is nothing like It" R. C. BeqoLE, Ed
