It was generally expected that there
would be some action taken by the delegation
looking to the support of some one of the
candidates for the nomination for Governor,
but the -subject was not mentioned, it being
understood in advance of the meeting that
the best policy to pursue was that of silence,
which was carried out.

Johnstown, June 9. The looting of the

urday show the nomination ol C. J. Mayer
for Treasurer, and M. Fitxharris and E. T.
McNeelis for Assembly. After the returns
were tabulated the newly elected County
Committee proceeded to the election of dele
gates to the State Convention. Owing to
the interest in the local offices, bnt little
attention was given to that question at the
election on Saturday. The Wallace men
had been busy over Sunday, however, set
ting up delegates and planning to capture
the convention, and in their efforts to carry
their point delayed the calling of the meet
ing several hours to-day. By this time the
Pattison men had canght on to their racket
and had quietly marshaled their forces.
They offered little objection to the delega
tion set up by the Wallace men.
The election resulted iu selecting Colonel
Ii. P. Linton, ex-Prothonotary H. A. Shoe
maker, H. A. Englebart, John Bowne and
P. J. Dietrick, all Wallace men but one.
B ut when a delegate moved the delegation
be instructed for Wallace for Governor, then
the Inn began.
The fight was long and fierce. Colonel
Linton, and friends of Postmaster Baymer,
urging for Wallace, while a young man
named Swank, and the county delegation
stood up for Pattison. When the Wallace
men saw they could not control the conven
tion, they tried to have the delegates go un
instructed, but the Pattison men were now
warmed up and pushed the fight finally
carrying their point, and instructing the
delegation for Pattison by a vote of 36 to 19.
The result was a complete surprise to the
politicians, who thought they had carried

Habbisbubg, June 9. The Harrisburg
Patriot, controlled by Ben Meyers, one of
Senator Wallace's stannchest supporters,
says Pattison has outside of Philadelphia 19
instructed delegates. Conceding the Patti
son claims to be correct, be will have 17 ad
ditional delegates in Berks, Bedford, Carbon,
Franklin, Indiana and Mercer counties,
making his country strength 36. Conceding
also the Pattison claims in counties vet to
elect, he would receive from the counties of
Allegheny, Chester, Crawford, Erie, Jeffer
son, McKean, Montgomery, Sullivan, Sus
quehanna, Venaneo' and Wayne 48 votes,
making his whole strength, actual and
claimed, outside of Philadelphia 84 rotes.
Add to this the latest Pattison claim from
Philadelphia, SO votes, and his maximum
strength in the convention will be
134 votes, although he is likely to
lose halt of the delegates claimed.
The counties which will, according to the
above estimate, give Pattison 134 delegates,
says the Patriot, last fall eave a little over
62,000 Republican majority, or about 2,000

given at that time in the whole State.
The great Cowles sensation is happily
dying out. A meeting was held at the hus

thought to be over, although the divorce

New Yoek, June 9. At to-dav's session
of the Belbrmed Presbyterian Church
Synod a suggestion from ladies of the Be
formed Presbyterian Church in Pittsburg
that the Synod establish a mission in
Africa was referred to the Committee on
Besolutions.
When the report of the Committee on
Temperance was taken up the committee
said: "We note with special satisfaction
the example set by Mr. and Mrs. Wana
maker in giving their splendid entertain
ment without wine. They have set u noble
example and it is worth much to the cause
of temperance."
After commenting upon the attention
paid by the present Congress to the subject
of temperance, and tbe recent decision of
the Supreme Court respecting original pack
ages, the report continues: "On state occa
sions, liquors weight the table presided over
bv our Christian President and his lady
(meaning his wi.'e). The "Vice President
goes in this respect to a greater excess, and,
besides this, derives a profit from the sale of
liquors in the property which he owns or
controls." The Synod adopted the com
mittee's recommendations, that "total absti
nence be most rieidly enlorced by the
courts of the church" that only the "pure,
unadulterated, nnfermented juice of the
grape" be used for the Lord's Supper and
that prohibition be approved as the "only
efficient means by which the State can deal
with the liquor traffic"
The second part of tbe report declared
that no member of the church shall use
tobacco or shall "engage in the traffio of
tobacco," and that applicants for admission
to the ministry should be rejected if they
use tobacco iu any form. There was some
opposition to these recommendations, the
first two ot which were adopted. Action on
the last was deferred by an adjournment.

rsPICIAL TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
MONTBEAT,, Quebec, June 9. The
Cowles shooting case, which is the sensation
of the city, has come to an unexpected end.
To-night Mrs. Cowles is once more in pos
session of her little daughter Florence at
the Windsor Hotel in this city. Young
Cowles, the father, who is at the General
Hospital with a serious bullet hole through
his throat, has relinquished the child to the
custody of the mother for tbe present at
least, and the whole party will probably
leave for Cleveland to-morrow, where the
case will be continued, Mrs. Cowles having
instituted proceedings there against her hus
band for divorce.
This unexpected termination of the case
came about in this way. Mrs. Cowles to
day retained the services of B. D, McGib
bon, Q. C, one of Montreal's leading law
yers, who secured an order on the nuns of
the Sacred Heart Convent for the production
ot the little girl in court. This morning the
meeting between mother and child was a
most pathetic sight When they met
mother and child rushed to each other;
tears gushed from the mother's eyes.
A PATHETIC MEETING.
"Mamma, mamma," cried the little one,
clasping her mother tight around the neck
and sobbing -in a passion of co-mingled
grief -and joy as if her little heart was break
ing. "My darling, my darling." cried the
woman, straining her to her heart, covering
her little face with kisses and stroking back
her pretty brown hair with a fond caressing
movement. The people in the courtroom
were thoroughly moved to tears. In a few
minutes afterward Mrs. Cowles' brother,
Mr. Hale, who had passed the night in a
police cell, appeared in court in charge of a
couple of detectives. Mr. McGibbon made
an application to Judge Desnoyees, the
police magistrate, that Hale be admitted to
bail.
The court refused to grant the application
in view of young Cowles' serious condition.
but agreed to allow Hale to proceed, in
charge of an officer, to tbe Superior Court,
where an application was made for a writ of
habeas corpus. Mr. McGibbon presented a
petition to Judge Mathieu, of this court,
asking for a writ of habeas corpus to rejoin
possession of the child. The petition set
forth that Cowles was not a fit or proper per-
tsonto have charee ot his' daughter, and he
'sides being addicted to unnK7 tie was a victim'
ot tne opium nabtt.
oriMT or contempt.
It was also stated in support of ths peti
tion that pending tbe proceedings for divorce
taken by Mrs. Cowles, the Cleveland courts
bad granted her the custody of the child, so
that Cowles was guilty of contempt of the
ruling of the Judge in his own land. Judge
Mathieu at once granted the writ, which
was made returnable in the afternoon, when
all tbe parties appeared before Judge Tait.
Mr Gibbon then read a return from the
Sisters of the Sacred Heart, stating that the
little girl had been placed in their charge
by her father Saturday morning, and that
they were willing to follow the Court's de
cision. A return was also read from Dr. Kirk
patrick, of the General Hospital, stating
that Cowles was in too weak a state to be
disturbed. McGibbon, Mrs. Cowles' coun
sel, said that in view of Cowles' condition
they would agree to a postponement, but he
asked that the child should be allowed to
go with her mother to the hotel until the
case was decided. Mrs. Cowles made an ear.
nest personal appeal to the Court that she be
allowed to take her little girl, who is in del
icate health.
XEFT WITH HEB DATJOHTEE.
Judge Tait granted the appeal, and the
happy mother left the courtroom with her
daughter. In the meantime her brother,
Mr. Hale, who was present during all the
proceedings in custody of detectives, pro
ceeded to the police court. He was accom
panied by Judge Ingalls. of Cleveland, and
Detective Gibson, of Washington. D. C.
who has been employed by Mr. Cowles on
the case. His counsel, McGibbon, made an
application that he should be allowed to go
on parole in charge of two detectives, to ap
pear when wanted. Police Magistrate
Desnoyees, after hearing the counsel's ex
planation, granted the application, and
Hale, accompanied by his friends, left the
court in custody of Detectives Grosse and
Carpenter, two of Montreal's finest. The
whole party then proceeded to the Windsor
Hotel.
The whole party was astounded to-night
by receiving word from the General Hos
pital that Cowies wanted to see his wife.
They proceeded to the hospital, when Cowles
handed the following order, signed E. H.
Cowles, to his wife directing the nuns to re
linquish Florence into her charge:
To Madame Schultztn and the sisters of the
B&cred Heart: Please deliver to my wife Alice
H. Cowles, our daughter, Florence Cowles.
without delay and consider this as an annul
ment of my former order respecting the child.
COWIES IS VEEY WEAK.
Cowles also handed a letter to Judge In
galls. stating he was sorry for the whole
affair, and exonerating Hale from all blame.
Cowles' action means that this will .prob
ably be the end of the case as far as Mon
treal is concerned. The parties will have
to appear iu court to-morrow, but further
proceedings will be dropped and the parties
will return to Cleveland to continue the
fight there. Young Cowles is in a very
weak condition, and will not be able to get
around for a couple of weeks. In an inter
view, he stated that he had nothing against
bis wife, but claims to have been badlv
used, and objects to outsiders interfering in
the case.
It was rumored to-night that tbe woman
(Clara) who is the cause of all the trouble
was coming to Montreal, and the other side
threatened to have her arretted. It is
known that she was in St, Catharines when
Cowles and his daughter were there, and it
is believed that she will rejoin Cowles. The
last has not likely been heard of the case, as
it is believed that as soon as Cowles re
covers he will take further proceedings.
A New Revenue Act That Is Canslns; Phila

tbe Section The Decision Withheld. '
SPECIAL TELEOUAli TO THE DISPATCH.
Philadelphia, June 9. Twelve lines
of a proviso inserted in a remote section of
the new revenue act of 1889, to-day called
before Judges Hare, Fell and Pennypacker,
such an array of distinguished lawyers as is
seldom seen participating in an argument in
any Common Pleas Court in Pennsylvania.
The Attorney General of the State was there.
He was supported by Bufus E. Shapely,
best known outside the legal profession as
the author ot "Muldoon," and Ellis Ames
Ballard. They fonnd pitted against them
distinguished lawyers, counsel for six trust
companies of this city, who wanted to make
the Judges believe that the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania had no right to tax the
mortgages, bonds and other securities
which the companies own. Dependent upon
the decision of this legal battle is about $60,
000 of taxes each year which the State may
or may not get. Should tbe trust companies
win, it means annually to the Fidelity $12,
000: Pennsylvania. $18,000: Philadelphia.
$7,000; Guarantee, $5,000; Girard, $5,000,
and tbe Finance Company $11,136 94, mak
ing a total in which the State is interested
of $58,136 94.
The field of battle has beenlaid out by the
demurrers of the Commonwealth to the
trust companies' equity bills to restrain the
Board of Bevision of Taxes from assessing
the State tax on mortgages and other paper
evidences of debt now held by trust com
panies. The revenue act is in 32 sections,
the first 18 of which are directed especially
to include as subject to State taxation,
mortgages, etc, held by corporations as
well as by individuals. Under the revenue
acts of 1879 and 1885 corporations were
not taxable upon this species 'of
property because of a decision of
tbe Supreme Court that it was not clearthat
the Legislature intended to include "cor
porations'' in the words "person or per
sons." The act of '89 was passed to correct
this omission, and to levy a tax on this kind
of property in the hands of corporations as
well as upon that held by individual tax
payers. Included in the bill is a section which
levies a tax of three mills upon
the capital stock of corporations,
joint stock associations and limited
partnerships which declare a divi
dend of less than 6 per cent. Upon the
stock of similar taxability which declare a
greater dividend than 6 per cent, the tax is
one-half a mill for each 1 per centum
of dividend declared. In this section is a
proviso that such corporation as mt tax on
capital stock need not pay the tax on mort
gages and other securities "constituting any
portion1 of their assets included within
the appraised value of their capital stock."
But sneb corporations, "holding such securi
ties as trustees, executors, guardians or in
any other judiciary capacity, or in any
other manner, 'shall pay the tax imposed by
this act as in the case of individuals." Under
this proviso the trust companies make the
claim that while they acknowledge their
duty to pay the tax upon the securities held
by them in trust they cannot be required to
pay the tax upon such securities as are held
by them absolutely. The Court took the
papers and reserved decision.

The Mayor of Baltimore Signs the Ordl

FECIAL, TELEOEAM TO TB"I DISPATCII.I
BAXTrsidlrE, JunVjSiXi'ayOr Davidson
has signed the ordinance providing for the
transfer of the city stock in the B. & O.
B.- B. to the syndicate represent
ed by President E. B. Bacon, of
tbe B. & O. Southwestern Bailwav. at
par. This action -was not unexpected.
Since the withdrawal of the Kew York firm
from the field the bidders had everything
their way. The Mayor had announced that
he would withhold his signature until he
was certain there wonld be no other
bid made, and this afternoon he
came to the conclusion Vhat the Bacon syn
dicate was the only one willine to take the
stock at par. Finance Commissioner Spence
said that he had all the time favored the
sale ot the city's holdings in the road to the
Bicon syndicate, and he was fully con
vinced that this .was the 'best price that
could be obtained. Mr. Spence character
ized as absurd the repbrt that the Bacon
svndicate is backed by Jay Gould, and said
tne fact that Mr. Bacon is President of the
Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern Bailwav
Company shows that tbe members of the
syndicate are friends of the present manage
ment.
Tbe main object in offering to buy the
city's holding is to eliminate the political
element in the board, and by the expendi
ture of large sums of money to bring the
roaa and its equipment up to tbe highest
state of efficiency. Thirty-two thousand five
hundred shares will be transferred by the
close of the present month, and by the 1st of
July the seven directors will withdraw.
This leaves only four directors in the board
in addition to the 12 directors representing
the shareholders. Two of these will go out
as soon as the preferred stock is transferred,
and when the amendment to the constitu
tion providing for the sale of the stock in
the Washington branch is adopted by the
people next fall the outside element w'ill be
completely eliminated from the board. ,

Philadelphia, June 9. The Pennsyl
vania Bailroad Company has virtually
done away with the car stove and put in its
place steam. For several years the com
pany experimented with different steam
heating devices, but found them almost all
impracticable. Over 200 cars have been fitted
ont with the steam appliances, and the work
of putting steam heating apparatus on all
tbe cars will be made as fast as possible.
The system is exclusively that of the Penn
sylvania Bailroad Company, and is as fol
lows: Two straight pipes, two inches in
diameter, one for steam and the other to
carry the water of the condensation back to
the locomotive. This is done by a small
vacuum pump fixed on the tender and kept
constantly running. The exhaust steam is
all that is used in heating the train. The
pipes are so made that tbe steam can be
made use of for anyone car without inter
fering with the others. The pipes come up
in the car in each side just about tbe middle.
From the pipes in the car a spur runs under
each seat which gives a general distribution
of heat.
The car is ventilated by 40 openings
through the floor, each about two inches in
diameter and directly under the seats. The
fresh air passes over the steam pipes, becom
ing heated before passing into the car. The
steam passes directly to each end of the car.
The debate on the alien land ownership
was opened in the House yesterday by Bep
resentatlve Oates, of Alabama, and that
gentleman made seme very pertinent re
marks concerning this peculiar feature of
our freehold system. Tbe Schenleys, of
Pittsburg, came in for their share of atten
tion, as well as the English nobility.
m Washington, June 9. Eepresentative
Oates, of Alabama, from the Committee on
the Judiciary, to-day reported to tbe House
tbe bill to prohibit aliens from acquiring
title to or owning lands within the United
States. An elaborate report accompanied
the bill. In it the committee says tbe
power of the Government to totally exclude
aliens from coming within its jurisdiction,
as has been done in the case of the Chinese,
no one questions. This sovereign power
certainly includes the lesser one of defining
what property rights they may exercise
after they are admitted and during the con
tinuance of their alien condition.
Your committee ascertained, says the re
port, with reasonable certainty that certain
noblemen of Europe, principally English
men, have acquired and now own, in the
aggregate, about 21,000,000'acres of land
within the United States. We have not
sufficient information to state the quantity
owned by untitled aliens; nor is it so im
portant, as it is generally held in smaller
bodies.
WHAT IT LEADS TO.
This alien non-resident ownership will, in
the course of time, lead to a system of land
lordism incompatible with the interests and
free institutions of the United States. The
foundation of such a system is being laid
broadly in the Western States and Terri
tories. The avarice and enterprise of
European capitalists, the report continues,
have caused them to invest many millions
in American railroad and land bonds, cover
ing perhaps 100,000,000 acres, the greater
part of which under foreclosure sales will
most likely, before many years, become tbe
property of these foreign bondholders in ad
dition to their present princely possessions.
This agressive foreign capital is not con
fined to the lands it has purchased, but over
leaping its boundaries, has caused hundreds
of miles of the public domain to be fenced
up for the grazing of vast herds of cattle,
and set at defiance the rights of the honest,
but humble settler. The bill proposes to
place these aliens under the disabilities of
the civil law as to all future attempts to
acquire lands in this country.
MUST BECOME CITIZENS.
In other words the report says tbe bill is
a declaration against absentee landlordism.
It declares all foreign-born persons who
have not been naturalized incapable of tak
ing tbe title to lands anvwbere within the
1 United States, except a leasehold for not ex
ceedingfivetyeais-aad if has oo" retro
active, but a prospective operation. It also
contains a provision which will comDel
alien land owners to cease to be such or to
become citizens of tbe United States within
ten years.
The bill, the report says, would prevent
any more abuses lt&e that of a Mr. Scully,
who resides in England, and is a sub-'
ject of the Queen, but owns 90,000 acres iu
Illinois, occupied by tenants, mostly igno
rant foreigners, from whom he receives as
rent $200,000 yearly and expends it in
Europe. The Schenley estate of about 2,000
acres, within the city limits of Pittsburg
and Allegheny, from the rents of which the
Schenleys, who are subjects ot tbe British
Queen, draw annually not less than $100.-
000, is another instance of alieu landlord
ism in America. The tenth census shows that
the United States has S7,000 tenant farmers,
the largest number possessed by any nation
in the world.
A SEEIOUS PBOBLEM.
In conclusion the report says, with the
natural increase in people and the 500,000
foreigners who flock to our shores annually,
and by competition are reducing the wages
of labor, making tbe battle of life harder to
win; how, a few years hence, to provide
homes for our poor people is a problem for
the American statesmen to solve.
The multiplication of the owners of the
soil is a corresponding enlargement of the
number of patriots, and every land owner
in this country should owe allegiance to the
United States.

ITrlCIAL TELEORAK TO THE DISPATCH.l
Cincinnati, June 9. Harry Cox, the
young man who has created such a stir in
scientific circles by the announcement that
he has discovered a method of producing a
working current of electricity of any desired
power directly from heat, 'thus db via ting tbe
use of a boiler or dynamo or any of
tbe costly and intricate t machinery
used for that purpose, is an
Ohio boy. Cox is a smooth-faced young
man, who possess a facial expression re
markably like that of Harrison, tbe boy
preacher. Until two years ago Harry Cox
lived at the little suburb of Fernbank. At
that time he was residing in this quiet
place, and had a little workshop buried
back in the woods for the purpose of pursu
ing bis studies and experiments in" a way
that would guarantee protection from moles
tation by the curious outside world. Tbe
people out there regarded him as "a queer
sort of a duck."
His den is connected with the residence
with electrical connections that do all sorts
ot tricks. His brother David, who is now
with the Bell Telephone Company, of New
Tork, was his assistant. Among the bric-a-brac
scattered about the rooms, all of his
invention, is a self-winding clock, a serv
ant call, a patent lighter designed to do
away with matches, a recorder ot supplies of
water and an electric whistle.
Young Cox is backed by a company with
a capital of $1,000,000, and has arranged to
put nis latest discovery into practical opera
tion. Its membership has elected the fol
lowing well-known Eastern caoitalists as
officers: Francis A. Pratt, President; B. N.
Pratt, Vice President; Ernest Cody, Treas
urer, and Henry Hyde, Jr., legal adviser.
The discovery is said to produce electricity
'dirrctlyfrom heat as readily as steam from
water. Cox was for a timermessengerboyin
the telegraphic department of the Little Mi
ami railroad and is an expert telegrapher.

ISPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Washington, June 9. The threat ut
tered a few days ago by Senator Stewart, of
Navada, that there wonld be no tariff legis
lation at this session unless a free coinage
bill should be passed may possibly be made
good. The citizens of the silver States, who
are anxioasly watching Congress to see what
sort of a silver bill is to be pasted, are becom
ing alarmed at the unfavorable outlook for a
free coinage measure, and have determined
to make their influence felt. They are
sending telegrams in large numbers to the
Senators from their States urging them to
refuse their support to the Bepublican tariff
bill unless they are given free silver.
One Senator says he had received hun
dreds of telegrams of this kind within the
past few days, and that be is rather inclined
to act on the suggestion contained in them.
Tbe silver Senators claim that the riot act
has been already read to them bv their col
leagues, and that they have been 'threatened
with free lead ore in the Finance Commit
tee's tariff bill unless they agree to support
the committee's silver bill. At least one
Bepublican Senator is authority for tbe
statement that a member of the Finance
Committee has served notice on several, if
not all, of the free coinage Senators that if
they do not agree to the silver bill of the
committee they will be retaliated against in
the tariff bill.
It is further stated that a canvass of the
Senate has been made by this member of
the Finance Committee who is keeping a
list of the Bepublican Senators who are
not opon to argument on the silver ques
tion. The tariff being a local issue pe
culiarly affecting each Senator's district, it
would be very easy lor the Finance Com
mittee to get even with such of their col
leagues as might refuse to vote right on the
silver bill.
The silver Senators are quite indignant at
what they term the unwarranted dictation
of the Senators on the Finance Committee
and are determined to stand together to re
sent it and in favor of a tree coinage bill.

The thoroughbreds were in galace stock
cars and the the train was running on pas
senger schedule, it is impossible to learn
the names of the horses, as many of them
are still under the wreck, The At
lantic stable lost its greatest
breadwinner, the great mare Huntress.
All tbe horses which were not
killed outright were shocked and shaken up
so that they will not face a flag lor many
weeks. Old railroad men say this is tha
worst wreck that has ever occurred on the
Wabash.
AMi TVEBE VALUABLE.
The majority of the horses killed are 2
years old. Among them Little Prince,
Ben Bidgley and J. F. Heller's
Ejypt Huntress is not yet dead,
but will die. The great mare was
crushed internally and has two legs broken.
All these horses were from Latonia. Tha
Scroggans stables, Avondale stables and
others left the train at St. Louis. Many
horses are still under the wreck, and the ex
citement is so great thit it is impossible to
get further details.
Arrivals from the scene of the railroad
wreck say Huntress escaped being killed by
the merest accident, and that the injuries
she received will be fatal. Chief among the
noted perlormers killed were Cli
max, Brown Duke, Little Minnie,
Cruiser, Germanic and Banner
Bearer. In fact, it is said not one of La
