RESULTS Iff WESTERN PENNSILYAKIA
Notwithstanding Major Montooth's posi
tive announcement that he would not accept
the nomination fur Lieutenant Governor,
there is a general feeling among the Phila
delphia delegates in his favor should the
first place go elsewhere. Delamater's friends
claim that the adhesion of many of the in
dependents has rendered his success certain.
The Democratic situation is still decidedly
complicated.
nrrciAx. teleoeah to toe dirpatcs.i
Philadelphia, June 14. "Senator
Delamater will be nominated for Governor
beyond any question of doubt," said a close
friend of Senator Quay's to-day. "What
ever feeling may have existed regarding his
availability has been swept aside by the
strong indorsement presented in his behalf
from this city, where it was thought General
Hastings had the call in business circles. "
"The formation of the Business Men's
Committee of One Hundred in favor of Gen
eral Hastings' nomination," continued the
speaker, "was a boom for Center county's
candidate and somewhat of a setback to the
Delamater forces, but for so lie cause or
other the committee did but little work in
Hastings' interest, and now, before the con
vention has yet been held, we find that the
Hastings headquarters have been closed
up."
SENATOR QUAY'S POSITION.
"Senator Quay," continued the speaker,
"is a Republican who is for his party first,
and if he had but the slightest doubt of
Delamater's election, in spite of the warm
friendship existing between them, he wonld
turn in and help to defeat him
for the nomination. Garrett ana Mc
Kee, the independent leaders have done
good work for the Republican cause by
making it known that Senator Delamater's
nomination is asked for by the independent
Republicans of this city, who are more nu
merous here than elsewhere. They have
virtually settled all doubt as to the outcome
of the State Convention."
E. K. Martin, of Lancaster, Senator
Watres, of Lackawanna, and J. A. M. Pass
more, of this cily, are the three declared
candidates for second place on the State
ticket, bnt as no formal action in Passmore's
behalt has been taken by the local dele
gation, he is not considered as seriously in
the race, although some of the outside
counties have instructed their delegates in
his favor. Martin and Watres are both
friends of Quay and Delamater, -and the
nomination of either would be acceptable to
the stalwart element of the party particu
larly. A FORMIDABLE CANDIDATE.
Martin has a first-class war record, which
makes his candidacy formidable, while
"Watres is counted as much stronger than
his party in the northwestern section of tbe
State from which he hails. "What both
have to fear most in the talk which has de
veloped within the past few days in favor of
the nomination for Lieutenant" Governor of
Major Montooth, of Allegheny county.
It is announced here that Montooth is
willing to take second place and as 15 of the
16 delegates from his county are Quay men
it can be readily seen that the Montooth
movement is a very strong one. Besides, it
is argued that with an Alleghenv man on
the State ticket there would be but little to
fear from any opposiug forces in the way of
a Republican majority from that countv.
There will be abitter contestat th'e Demo
cratic State Convention for supremacy.
Already has there been some sharp and
bitter feeling expressed by the leaders of the
opDosing forces. Claims and counter claims
are being made with such rapidity that the
average Democrat becomes more" confused
regarding the final outcome as the day (or
the holding of the State Convention draws
nearer.
GATHERING IN THE DELEGATES.
"William L. Scott, who is the real head of
the Pattison movement, has been keeping
very quiet lately, but under bis instructions
his lieutenants throughout the State are
gathering in the delegates wherever possi
ble. The story has been started that ex
Senator Wallace is opposed to Cleveland lor
renomination in 1892, and the anti-Wallace
forces are using it for all it is worth in spite
of the denials of Wallace's friends. The
"Wallace forces are apparently very confi
dent, and laugh at the published figures of
the opposition.
The Wallace people admit that if the
Philadelphia delegation were a unit in
favor of Mr. Pattison that it would be a
somewhat difficult matter to de eat his nom
ination, although Congressman Mutchler,
who is a staunch Wallace man, declares
that the sentiment of the stalwart Democ
racy of the State alone would suffice to de
feat the nomination of the ex-Governor.
The leaders of the Pattison forces in" this
city insist that Wallace will get but 14 del
egates from Philadelphia county, while on
the other hand Patterson, McGowan
Josephs and Faunce, three of whom are del
egates ana wno are Dattiing lor Wallace's
nomination, declare th-it tbe chances favor
Wallace having a majority of the delegates
from this city. From the conflicting claims
made it is evident that somebody is going to
be badly fooled.

rSrECIAI. TELECRAX TO THE D IS PATCH. 1
Harrisbubg, June 14. The Wallace
people had eery thinj their own way this
afternoon and evening in the election of
delegates to the State Convention, the sup
porters of Pattison not being in a position to
make a successful fight for their favorite.
The leaders of the Democratic partv, in
cluding Chairman Hamilton, Mayor Fritch
ey and B. P. Meyers, are all Wallace men,
and no material opposition was encountered
in the scheme to send a solid delegation to
the State Convention in his interest. Post
master Meyers and Mavor Fritchey have
heretolore lought each other in primarv
contests, but in the present one they stood
side by side.
The delegates to the State convention,
who are elected by aircct vote, are: Dr.
Charles B Fager. Irwin J. Crane and James
W. Roberts, of this city, and G W D
Enders, J. F. Klugh and H. Wells Buser
the latter late postmaster at Hummels
town. Nine candidates for County
Commissioner were also voted for
according to the Crawford county
ijstem, Recently established Democratic
rules provide that only one candidate shall
be placed in the ticket, owinc to the bad
blood the running of two candidates engen
dered. As the several candidates are scat
tered all over the upper end of the county,
it is not known to-night who was successful.
The sime is true of the three candidates lor

the Democratic candidate for Sheriff.

rsrXCIAL TELIOBAM TO TBS DISPATCH.!
Lancaster, June 14. The Democrats
of this Republican county have been mod
estly waiting for the drift of sentiment in
other parts of the State, and the resnlt of
the Republican convention to indicate more
clearly what gubernatorial nomination is
fittest to be made. Neither of
the leading candidates, Pattison
or Wallace, is particularly strong,
and each has sharp antagonism
here. Some weeks ago it looked as if there
would be a sharp contest over their napes
and a break up of the old factional lines
here, as Chairman Malone, H. M. North
and others were known to be for Wallace,
while Haves, Gricr, General Patton and
others were friendly to Pattison.
When the three Democratic newspapers
of the county commended Hensel as a gub
ernatorial candidate nearly every element
in the partv fell heartily in with the sug
gestion. Those who had been distinctly
known as Wallace men and suspected
of antagonism to Hensel proffered
him their support, and suggested
that if possible a compromise be effected by
which nine delegates might be chosen who
would all been lriendly to Hensel and who
were about evenly divided in their indi
vidual preferences between Wallace, PaUi
son and the field. This was gen
erally acquiesced in, and untiJ
dav it was not expected there would be
anv contest over State delegates in any part
of 'the countv. This morning, however, it
develorjed that in several wards of the city
there would be sharp contests, chieny lor
ward supremacy.
The delegation from the county, as a
whole, will litely vote for Hensel as longas
he is before the convention and otherwise
will divide, as. there is a fair
division of sentiment among their con
stituents, the drilt of feeling in the
city being for Wallace, and in the
county fori Pattison, while a great many
conservative Democrats in the county feel
that the selection of a new name would
be to the interest of the party.
Hensel to-night declined to ex
press any opinion as the outcome
of the State Convention, saying he under
stood an uncommitted and uninstructed
delegation of representative Democrats from
the county would be agreed upon,who could
best determine when they reached Scranton
as to what the interests ot their constituents
required them to do.

IBFEC1AL TELEGRAM TO THE DIKrATCB.1
Canton, O., June 14. In election of
delegates to the Democratic Congressional
Convention Representative John E. Mon
not carried 19, Prosecutor John E. Welty 5
and ex-Representative Johnson Sherrick 3
delegates in this city to-day. Welty, who
was supposed to be a leading candidate, con
cedes about 44 delegates in the county
to Monnott and expects about 20 himself,
estimating that ex-Liextenaut Governor
Warwick, of Massillon, will have 25 and
Senator Lewis, of Alliance, about 10. The
Sixteenth district is the one prepared to de
feat MaKinley by recent Democratic
gerrymander. Of 19C delegates in the district
Stark has 91, Holmes 34, Medina 22, and
Wayne 49.
Judge Stillwell, of Millersburg, is sup
posed to have Holmes solid, and Senator
Zimmerman is conceded Wayne, with part
of Medina, and 99 delegates will nominate.
Stark, with eight scattering votes irom other
counties, can nominate, and the effort will
probably be to combine on W. A. Lynch,
the noted railroad attorney, a close friend
of Brice and supposed to be interested with
him in railroad deals, and put him in the
field with the 2.500 Democratic majoritv in
an endeavor to capture McKinley's seat in
Congress.

JSrZCIAL TXXXQKAJC TO THB DISPATCH. 1
Nokristotvn, June 14. Elections were
held in this county this evening to elect
delegates to Tuesday's Bepuhlican conven
tion to elect five delegates to the coming
State Convention. There was not a single
contest in any of the ten wards of this
borough, and but a few in any district
in the county. Very little interest was
manifested in the elections. The five State
delegates to be elected on Tuesday, it is
conceded, will be for General Hastings.
-Not that Delamater has no friends here or
Quay no lieutenants, but that these are
keeping quiet, knowing that the popular
feeling of the party is for General Hastings,
and desiring notto disrupt the party here.
The utmost Delamaterites are doing is to
elect avowed Hastings men, but who, in a
pinch, would vote for the Crawford county
Senator. For Lieutenant Governor senti
ment favors J. A. M. Pasniore, and for
Secretary of Internal Affairs, of course
Thomas J. Stewart, ot this borough. Tues
day's convention promises to be a peaceful
affair, unless the Quay people should spring
a surprise on the confident and trustful
Hastings hustlers.

Habrisburo, June 14. The announce
ment that -ex-County Solicitor Fred Ott
would contest for the nomination for Con
gress in this district has given Congress
man Rife, who wants a renomina
tion, considerable annoyance. He says
he hardly thinks that Mr. Ott will
be disposed to continue in the field, and
thereby countenance one term rule In the
district. It has been customary, he says, to
concede two terms to a Republican and as
many more as ne can secure.
He claims to have been in consultation re
cently with Senator Cameron and other
party leaders in this district, and that the
talk is said to have inspired him with confi
dence that he will be bis own successor.
Congressman Rife proposes to makp a pre
limjnary canvass of Harrisburg and other
political centers in his district next week.

TJniosto-wn, June 14. The Democratic
County Committee met here this afternoon.
It was about evenly divided between the
Boyle and Searight factions, neither being
able to control it, and the delegates elected
were about evenly divided between them.
There were fourteen candidates for the State
delegates, and of the six elected the Sea
right men were Colonel T. B. Searight,
Colonel A. J. Hill' and Alfred Emerson.
The Boyle men are J. J. McFarland, A. G.
C. Sherbondy and John Boyle.
Before tbe convention was organized it
was known that four-fifths of the committee
men were pronounced Pattison men, and
the State delegates were instructed by an
unanimous vote to support Pattison for Gov
ernor. D. W. McDonald, a young attor
ney, who belongs to neither faction, was
made Chairman of the committee.
Another dispatch says that Searight
rather seems to lead the delegation.

TJjfiONTOWir, June 14. Owing to the
great length of the ticket, there being 78
candidates, the returns from to-day's pri
maries are late coming in. About one-third

they are all Montooth and Hastings men,
the Delamater men not getting a single dele

delegates are all for Colonel Andrew
Stewart, the Bailey men not getting any of
their slate elected.
The indications at midnight point to a
sweeping Ewing victory, and they will con
trol Monday's convention and elect Mon

the Congressional delegates will be in

Johnstown, June 14. For months after
the flood a great many valuable articles
were found which no one claimed. A com

COPrMOnT,1890, BTTnfcXE-WTOBK ASSOCIATED
FREES.:
Berlin, June 14. The semi-oflicial an
nouncement in the North German Gazette
that Chancellor Von Caprivi will accompany
Emperor William on his visit to the Czar
converts the meeting of the sovereigns from
an exchange of imperial courtesies into a
diplomatic event. Herr Von Schweiuitz,
the German Ambassador to Russia, arrives
here from St. Petersburg to-morrow in con
nection with the interview, which has been
fixed for the 2d of Angust.
Emperor William, escorted by a squad
ron, sails from Kiel to Cronstadt, and will
remain with the Czar three days. Prior to
the visit Signor Crispi, the Italian Premier,
is expected here for a conference with Gen.
Von Caprivi. He will see Count Kalnoky,
the Austro-Hungariau Premier, en route to
Berlin. These movements have a distinct
relation to a renewal of the negotiations for
a settlement of the Bulgarian question.
This time the negotiations were initiated
at St. Petersburg.
NOT RECOGNIZED.
The Russian Government persists in re
fusing to recognize Prince Ferdinand, but
offers to recognize M. Stambouloff, the Bul
garian Premier. The Government, after the
departure of Prince Ferdinand, irill send a
Russian commissioner to Sofia to offer the
people as alternative candidates for the
throne the Duke of Leuchtenberg or Prince
Karl, son of the King of Sweden. The Duke
of Leuchtenberg. having married a Mon
tenegrin Princeos, has less chance of accept
ance by the European Powers. Prince
Karl is sure of tbe English Government's
support.
After the election of a Prince the Stam
bouloff Ministry will be dissolved and re
placed by a Stambouloff-Zankoff coalition.
M. Stambouloff is ready to sacrifice Prince
Ferdinand if his own position be assured as
a result of the arrangement. The leading
diplomats at Constantinople have been re
called. Herr Von Radnwitz, the German
Ambassador; M. Nelidoff, Russia's repre
sentative, and Sir W. A. White, the British
diplomat, are to be replaced by Ministers
who will work together on a more friendly
footing.
WAITED ON BISMARCK.
Whatever may be the issues of the meet
ing at St. Petersburg they will not involve
a change of relations in the dreibund.
Signor Crispi goes to Friedrichsruhe after
seeing Chancellor Von Caprivi. A deputa
tion of Conservatives from the Fourth dis
trict orPotsdam,whichisnow unrepresented
in the Reichstag on account of the death of
Herr Wedell Malchow, went to Friedrichs
ruhe yesterday to ask Prince Bismarck to
accept the candidature.
He promised to give the proposal his fa
vorable consideration, and this is taken to
mean that he will stand. Tbe members of
the Reichstag alrendr foresee that the
Prince's presence will produce the grouping
of a new party under his lead, composed bf
Conservatives, old National Liberals and a
small section of the moderate Freisinnige
party. This group will prominently repre?
sent the smaller land owners, manufacturers
and bankers, who are opponents of the pro
Socialist policy, and is certain to secure the
support of a number of Centrists, thus form
ing a strong combination.
REPORTS LAUGnED AT.
Herr Krupp has been the guest of Prinee
BismarcK since Wednesday. The hostile
reports to' the effect that tbe Emperor is be
coming more and more enraged over the
revelations made by Prince Bismarck in
interviews, and that he intends to muzzle
the ex-Chancellor are laughed over in the
Prince's circle. Another idea is dawning
upon tbe unfriendly critics that is, whether
the statements made to special correspond
ent!, were not arranged with the previous
knowledge and concurrence of Chancellor
Von Caprivi.
Prince Bismarck's studiously instndied
confidences have already assisted the foreign
office to a clearer view of the tendencies of
foreign opinion, and has also helped to har
monize janrivrs relations with several
foreign ministers. It is now perceived that
his seeming frankness reveals little, and
cannotrjembarrass the Government. Im
pending changes in the minor States include
the retirement of Baron Von Miltnacht,
Premier of Wurtemberg; Count Von
Fabrice, Premier of Saxony, and Dr. Tur
ban, Premier of Baden. When Bismarck
retired these were bound to follow.
ENTERTAINING AMERICANS.
The American riflemen assembled at 10

A MIDNIGHT PA PEE CBASE.
AN ENGLISH PASTIME ENJOYED BY PITTS
BURG YOUTHS.
Some College Boys Indulge la tbe Sport In
be Streets of East Liberty and Saody
slde A Long Lino of Apparitions In
White Flannel.
A few college boys of ultra-English pro
clivities succeeded in enlivening Shadyside
and East Liberty during the "wee sma
hours" of yesterday. For some time past
these youths had been yearning to practice
the old English game of "paper chase," and,
fearful of being laughed at if
thev raced through the streets,
by "daylight, they finally; concluded to try
the sport when pale Luna shed her beams.
Paper-chasing, as many are aware,, is a
verv simple and withal athletic sport. Two
boys, called "hares," set forth from the
trysting place, running at a good pace, and
carrying large bags filled witl scraps
of paper. These they scatter in their wake,
as "scent" to the other players, who are the
"hounds," or pursuers. After a few min
utes' law, the "hounds" start in pursuit,
and a real good time is had belore the hares
are run down, or escape to the "home" in
safety.
Paper chasing is glorious fun over a stiff
country with lots of hedges and ditches, but
these were too dangerous for a first attempt,
so the Shadyside college boys were content
to do their chasing through the public
thoroughfares.
Accordingly, at 12:30 A. M. yesterday
they assembled at the corner of Forbes and
Wightman streets, a party of chasers
lightly attired in flannels, and sprinting
shoes. Tbe word was given and the "hares"
started off, scattering their paper right and
left after the manner ot gay young
gamblers making their first incur
sion into the treacherous land
of money lending. Alter ten minutes
the "hounds" pursued, lollowing the scent
along Wightman into Wilkins avenue,
and thence to Fifth avenue. The next turn
was into Amberson avenue, when the charg
ing "hounds" were unexpectedly stopped
by a policeman. When this representative
ol the finest learned that no evil
had been perpetrated by the boys, and
that there had been no obstruction of traffic,
he allowed them to pursue their course,
they flitted by, like a long train of ghosts in
their white flannels, the leader wind
ing his horn whenever the "scent"
turned in a new direction.
A few early wagoners and late pedestri
ans were no doubt startled by the line of
seeming apparitions, and one or two in
toxicated revelers may have imagined that
the delirium had returned again, but be
yond these no real harm was done.
After chasing up Ellsworth avenue, and
then through a network of streets, the
"hares" were finally captured on the Penn
avenue railroad bridge after a gallant
chase.
Yesterday forenoon the business menof the
streets through which the hunt had passed
were surprised to find the sidewalks strewn
with pieces of paper. Among others, Mr.
S. S. Marvin noticed the peculiarity. The
police were informed, and they explained
the apparently extraordinary circumstance.
The boys are delighted with their chase, and
wilt continue their paper-chases through
the East End.

ISriCIAL TELEOEAM TO TUB DISPATCH.l
Milford, N. J., June 14. The Nock
amixon swamps, lying about six miles west
of this place, in Bucks oounty, Pa., have
heretofore been considered worthless except
for grazing purposes, aud have at various
times been offered for sale at $3 to
$5 per acre and failed to find
purchasers. For many years it was
thought that oil existed there. Not long
since John H. Stern, who owns a large tract
of land in that vicinity, secured the ser
vices of E. C. Bosenzi, an oil prospector of
Philadelphia, formerly of Pittsburg, to
make an examination. He found unmis
takable indications of oil, and especially at
tbe southeast base of Caufman's Hill and
at various other places near that point,
where it oozes out and flows away with the
water.
Mr. Bosenzi spent four days among the
scenes of the proposed new oil field, and
met with good success in the matter of ob
taining leases on a number of farms and
other properties. Upwards of 1,000 acres
were secured. He said there was sufficient
surface indication to warrant the erection of
a derrick and tbe setting in motion of a
drill to tap tbe subterranean reservoir
of oil, which it is confidently believed ex
ists at no great depth. Besides the geologi
cal formation of the earth in that
locality it is naturally adapted for
oil. There is a strong likelihood
that besides oil either coal or natural
gas will be found on tbe way. The latter
seems very probable, as it is well known
that natural gas is always found where coal
or petroleum exists.

rsrlCIXI.TXl.01lAM to mi dispatch.:
Kennett Square, Pa., June 14.
Situated in Chester county, about three
miles from Kennett Square, is a beautiful
stretch of timber land known as Longwood.
Under the shade of this pleasant grove this
afternoon the thirty-eighth Longwood year
ly meeting of Progressive Friends was
brought to a close. The lovely weather and
the excellent condition of the roads bronght
a great many visitors. All around the
grounds there were teams of every descrip
tion. During the morning session addresses
were delivered by Miss Elizabeth "V. Yates,
of Maine; H. B. BlackwelL editor of the
Women's Journal, of Boston, and the Bev.
Hugh O. Peuteeost The afternoon meeting
was called to order by Frederic A. Hinck
ley, of Northampton, Mass., the Chief
Clerk of the meeting. A resolution memori
alizing Congress to grant a pension to Annie
E.Carroll for her services during tbe late
war was adopted, and three memorials were
adopted in memory of Oliver Johnson, Re
becca Way Taylor and Dinah Mendenhall.
THE ORATOR OF THE DAY.
In a short speech Mr. Hinckley then in
troduced the speaker of the day, General
Master Workman T. V. Powderly, of tbe
Knights of Labor, who, among other things,
said:
During my brief career I have spoken before
many gatherings, bnt this Is certainly one of
the highest in character ot those to whom I
have spoken, and right now let me say some
thing abont the order which I represent. The
Knights of Labor as an order has striven to do
that which no other organization ever thought
of doing prior to onr formation, and that is tbe
bringing of tbe toilers together. Onr highest
object Is to make all men equal. Onr order
seeks to benefit humanity. We know no
creed, no color and no nationality. AVe stand
on the high plane of desiring to assist one and
all, as you can see by tbe following preamble:
Mr. Powderly then read the preamble to
the constitution of the Knights of Labor
and continued:
We admit both sexes to our order and we aim
at securing for both sexes equal pay for equal
work. The statement that the woman is not
the eqnal of tbe man will bold good no longer.
A few years ago, when along tbe country roads
tbe shoemakers and the tailors bad their shops
and did the work for the community the
woman indeed was handicapped. But all has
changed. Capitalists organized and massed
their fortunes together. They erected in the
cities large buildings eight and nine stories
high, and each floor has been stocked with
machinery and these roadside tailors and shoe
makers were called to the towns.
AN IMPORTANT PACT-
These men working side by side In the fac
tories knew practically nothing of their own
condition until they realized that their enemy
was the machine, and their salaries were being
reduced. Then they organized, but in doing
this they overlooked one important fact the
admission of women to membership. Finally
tbe machine has gradually had Its effect.
Work tnat formerly required the strength of a
man can now be accomplished by tbe most
delicate of women In as short a time, and while
she is producing as much js tho man she is
underpaid. When you purchase a pair of
snoes you oi course never know that of two
pairs which yon pay the same price for one Is
made by a woman at a smaller rate of compen
sation. .
Because of our stand on this matter the
Knights of Labor have been condemned by
some, but we believe that we are right. A
woman does as much work as a man, and she
does It as well. Why should she not be paid
equally for it. We have taken this stand since
18S9. when a committee reported favorably to
our convention a resolution providing for a
constitution for tbe government of women. I
ruled the report out of order, and since that
time tbey have been in our organization on an
ea.ual standing with tbe men. In regard to the
eight-hoar question, I wonld say that tbe
Knigbta ot Labor hare always advocated the
shortening of hours, but while the men are
howling for a bhort hour, their poor wires are
working at home from sunrise until late at
night. '
CAUSE OP THE TROUBLE.
It is this inequality that causes all of the
trouble. The time will come when a woman
will be able to direct machinery which will per
form labor which now requires a strong, mus
cular man. When this time arrives the men
will be even more glad to combine with the
women for their own protection in the matter
of wages. Now then, friends, we believe It to
be true also that if a woman is to have the
same rate of compensation as the men. it Is
right that she should be able to deposit her
vote side by sido with the "lord of creation"
to decide the questions nf national importance
to both of them, which will come,'up for their con
sideration. Now there is no doubt bnt what the
hours of labor should be reduced. Franklin
said that during his time four houi's work a
day wonld amply supply the world's demand.
If that was so then, it is even more applicable
to-day, in this age of machinery. But we are
not in favor of strikes. We think they are
suicidal. I will say that I have never known of
a strike which has been won by the men where
the evil consequences have not overbalanced
the benefits. They always cause a disagree
ment between the employer and employed,
and if the employer does surrender he will cer
tainly have a chance of revenge upon the
men.
Mr. Powderly closed "with a plea for bal
lot reform and for temperance.
TTTK SCALE IS ATJOrTED.
Committee Reports Come Next la the
Amalgamated Association.
The Amalgamated scale was adopted as a
whole yesterday and ordered to be printed
for presentation to the manufacturers. The
rongbers and catchers lost their fight for an
advance, although they made a healthy
struggle for it and showed considerable
strength in the discussion of the question.
Monday the reports of committees will be
taken up. The Ways and Means Com
mittee will be the first heard from. The
convention will not adjourn for a week or
more yet. The election of officers will be
left until the last day.

ISFXCIAI. TZLXO'IAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
Johnstown, June 14. The term of the
present postmaster. Mr. H. Banmer, who
has held it ever since the Cleveland admin
istration, will expire in a few weeks, and.
there is a lively scramble now by the Ee-
publicans for the place. H. W. Storey,
Esq., has heen the choice of the politicians,
and his application has been indorsed by
nearly all of the leaders. Mr. J. Karl Ogle,
who has been tbe head clerk in the office
for tbe past ten years, during both the Dem
ocratic and Republican administrations, has
lately announced himself as an applicant
for the place, and his friends are doing some
effective work for him. He has been in
dorsed by nearly every business man in the
place, and many who had formerly declared
tor Storey now declare for Ogle, and the
situation is becoming interesting.
Storey is supported by the political
bosses on account of his manipulation of the
Delamater business. It is supposed that
Quay will stand by him; but as Storev is a
lawyer who could not give up bis tfme to
the business, the friends of Ogle believe
they have tbe advantage in the well-known
fitness of their man, and are pressing theif
case with great earnestness.

Hot Weather Luxury.
The greatest possible luxury a human
being can enjoy is a Turkish or Bnssian
bath on a hot day. One enters feeling
weary, despondent and enervated bv the
long continued heat, and at the end "of an
hour or two of solid enjoyment in the differ
ent processes of the bath, emerges refreshed
and invigorated in body and mind, and
with the feeling'thatthe mercury must have
suddenly and rapidly fallen. Among the
many advantages which the bath at the
Natatorium on Duquesne way possess and
that contribute to this result, is the abund
ant supply of pure, cold water that supplies
the sprays, showers, douches, needle and
plunge baths.
The cleansing, cooling, refreshing and
beneficial effects of these baths are tar su-
Serior to those of sea-bathing. Sea water
atbs do not cleanse even tbe surface of the
body, to say nothing of the millions of
pores of the skin, that require purification
more than the surface oi the skin itself, but
leaves it feeling sticky and dirty and the
pores more choked than before. The most
eminent,physicians, both in this country
and Europe, are unanimous in the opinion
that the Turkish bath is one of the greatest
of tonics and invigorators (or hot weather,
and as a luxury it is unsurpassed. The
many hundreds of Turkish bath patrons
who have already patronized the establish
ment, on Duquesne way, have expressed
their delight at the model way it is con
ducted and of the courtesy shown by the
attendants. The baths open daily from 7
A. M. to 9 P. M. Sundays, from 7 a.m. to
12 noon. Tuesdays from 8 A. M. to 2 P. ai.
and Fridays from 8 A. M. to 6 p. M. for
ladies and children only.
