Representative Citizens Say Dela-
mater's Nomination is a Bad
One, While Others Think tfot.
SYMPATHY FOR MAJOR MONTOOTH.
Claims Hade That Pattison, if Nominated
by Dfa Tart j, Will Defeat the
Senator from Headrille.
- IT MAI BE A STAKD-OFF WITH WALLACE
Differences Hicht Have Been Settled If Mont ooth Hid
Taken Second nice.
There was a great amount of interest felt
in Pittsburg and Allegheny yesterday over
the outcome of the State Convention at Har
risburg. Crowds formed around the bulle
tin boards, regardless of the torrid rays ot
the sun, and anxionsly awaited the arrival
nnd posting of telegrams from the conven
tion. As it became evident that Major E. A.
Montooth's boom was not growintr, some
persons expressed keen disappointment,
while others thought it wonld not be a bad
idea for him to accept second place. They
heldjthat the salary was an object, and the
office need not injure his law practice.
Many Republicans predict that the nom
ination ot Delamater will disrupt the party,
while others affirm that a good man has been
selected, who will receive the regular Re
publican majority.
DEMOCRATS ABE SATISFIED.
Democrats, as a rule, expressed satisfac
tion, as they thought the nomination would
result in an independent .Republican move
ment, but others still felt that party would
finally rally to the support of the regular
nominees. Some Democrats claimed that
Pattison could defeat Delamater, while
-others ascribed that power to Wallace.
Everybody had an opinion to express, and
in order to ascertain how the representative
people here felt on the matter members of
The Dispatch staff were turned loose last
night to secure interviews trom them.
Among the first persons bumped 'up
against was Mayor Gourley, who was out
skirmishing for funds for the Fourth of July
celebration. His Honor said: "I think
Senator Delamater is a first-class man in
every respect and there is no question but
he will be elected. The nomination will not
give as much satisfaction as if Montooth
was the standard bearer, but factional dif
ferences will be laid aside to elect the ticket.
Montooth is a much stronger man in this
section, bnt the few people who will object
will be satisfied if the Major takes some
other place on the ticket."
XS EAST MAN TO BEAT.
T. J. O'Leary, Jr. Delamater is the
easiest man of the quartet to beat, and he is
a dead rabbit The party could not have
put up a weaker man, and the Democrats
should hold a ratification meeting to signal
ire their victory. Pattison will be the nom
inee of the Democratic Convention, and he
will lick Delamater clear out of sight "Why
do I think so? Because the nomination
of Delamater will cause such a split in the
Republican party that thousands ot the
honest -voters will not go near the polls.
"With Pattison at the head of the Demo
cratic ticket the unityof feeling in the party
would be more solidified. "We will have a
thorough organization and every man will
be in line, while the Republicans are fight
ing about what tney should nave done.
There is not any question but the Republi
can party is under obligations to Montooth.
As it did not carry out the promises made
Tears ago his friends will feel sore, and the
bolters can be counted by the thousands.
The Democrats are almost tempted to tele
graph condolence to Delemater upon the
beginning of his end.
John J. Davis, Assistant City Controller
The nomination is entirely at variance
with the will of the voters of the State.
Montooth or Hf stings was the choice ot the
people of the Commonwealth, especially
this section, bnt tbe people do not seem to
be 'in it' on this deal. Senator Delamater
may be a good man, but he is not my choice
by any means.
PATTISOlf CAN BEAT HIM.
Harry O'Toole, of Delinquent Tax Col
lector Ford's office To my mind the only
way the party has of winning now is to
throw plenty of boodle into the campaign.
Delamater was by no means the choice of
the people, and if Pattison is nominated I
think the latter will beat him. Delamater
may carry the party through, but the odds
will be against him.
Sam Paisley, Street Commissioner East
End District I think Delamater is the
weakest man that could be nominated. He
will probably be elected, but will have a
hard time fighting against the odds.
E. M. Bigelow, Chief of the Department
of Public Works Delamater is a gpod
man and the nomination will not cause any
trouble. If he comes to Pittsburg within
the next week or two we will probably in
vite him ont to Schenley Part and show
him a part of God's country entirely un
known to him.
Ex-Judge Kirkpatrick I think Major
Montooth should have scorned the offer to
put him in second place on the ticket.
Here were several men who have avowed
their candidacy for Lieutenant Governor
and in no way interfered with the Guber
natorial nomination. It would certainly
look strange if Major Montooth interlered
with their fight and crowded all of them out
to accept a consolation place. Delamater
was not the strongest man before the conven
tion, but be may be elected.
John J. Martin If Pattison is nominated
Delamater will be defeated.
Stephen Collins I understand Mr. Dela
mater is all right on the immigration ques
tion, and that means success for him in
Pennsylvania.
Postmaster McKean The candidates are
all personal friends ot mine and I cannot
say I had any favorite. Of course, I will
support the ticket, and you can say for me
Delamater will be the next Governor of the
Keystone Stale.
I. X. Boss The nomination suits me all
right Delamater will be elected.
Joseph L. Evans I: Delamater is elected
it will be by much less than the usual Re
publican majority.
QUAY'S BIGGEST BLUFF.
J. D. Watson, Esq. Delamater's
strength depends on several exigencies.
With Wallace lor an opponent it will be a
stand-off. At present Delamater's weak
ness is most prominent in Philadelphia and
Allegheny counties, but he is stronger than
he was some time ago. It you have fol
lowed the drift of opinion here you know
there is not so much leeling against Quay's
movements now as there was some weeks
ago. A combination might have been ef
fected which would have made the ticket
stronger one in which Delamater, Mon
tooth and Hastings might all have been
taken care of. The postponement of the
primaries in the Twenty-third Congressional
district to a late date has helped Quay. It
has prevented the opposition "from
coalescing. I don't believe Qaay and Ma
gee are fighting. Quay has the organiza
tion, and what is every person's business is
sot generally prosecuted with much vigor.
We will be able to tell more when tbe dele
gates get tome and the general feeling in
the State is ascertained more definitely. It
tbe kickers mean business and put money
into it tbe slate may be shattered. This is
the biggest bluff Quay has ever played. If
it wins his power will be almost immeasura
ble. Pattison is the strongest man the
Democrats can same. The people at large
will not find much to choose between Dela
mater and Wallace.
STONE A STBONO MAN.
John H. .Kerr I think Stone would have
been the strongest mau that could' have been
named.
Ex-Alderman Kennedy Hastings is the
strongest man that could have been nomi-nated-but
I am for Pattison.
J. W. Kinnear, Eq. Delamater will
make a good Governor, and I think Quay's
backing an advantage. Stone would have
been my next choice.
Rush Lake, Esq. Montooth was my first
choice, my next Stone.
Wm. A. Sipe, Esq. Delamater will be
elected. '
Dr. Swentzel Wallace will get the Dem
ocratic nomination, if he wants it
J. A. Eetzer I think Delamater will be
elected without doubt Quay is able to
give him the State. My choice was Mon
tooth.
W. C. Beringer I don't take enough in
terest in politics to understand much about
the situation.
DELAMATEB "WH1I1 DO.
E. E. Cotton, Esq. My choice was Mon
tooth, but Delamater suits me very well.
W. A. Holman, Esq. I think any man
the Republican party would nominate
would be elected.
'Squire August Ammon It is a very im
portant matter, as it will determine whether
the iron rule ot one-man power is or is not
to prevail, but the weather is too hot for me
to take much interest in politics at present
Thomas D. Hodkinson I'll not vote for
Delamater. I've bolted before and can do
it again, and there are many Republicans
like me in this respect. I would have
voted for Montooth had he been nominated.
George Johnston I had no choice in the
matter, being for Montooth first, last and
all the time.
John C. Haymaker, Esq. Allegheny
county will be little sore for a time, but it
will come out all right
Clarence Burleigh, Esq. Delamater will
be elected. That's all I have to say.
Inspector McAleese If Major Mon
tooth had been induced to take the second
place on the ticket, it would have had the
effect of harmonizing the partyand bringing
into the fold many voters who will break
away on account of Delamater being at the
head of the ticket It is not a nomination
that will snit the people in this connty.
MONTOOTH THEIB CHOICE.
Cantain Hieber I am very well satisfied
with the nomination, although I would have
been better pleased with Major Montooth at
the head of the ticket
Chief Elliot, of the Department ot Chari
ties Major Montooth was my choice first
and last, and I am sorry he aid not win.
We could have given him a larger majority
in Allegheny county than Harrison got, and
he would have been elected, too.
Jenkin Jones Delamater was not my
choice, but of course I will stand with the
majority and support tbe ticket.
Warden Berlin I wanted to see Major
Montooth get the nomination. General
Hastings was my next choice, but Delama
ter got there, and he will be elected without
any doubt
John Tobin I think Pattison can 1 whip
Delamater.
Dr. C. C. Wylie The ticket suits me. I
don't think it very strong, but a man would
know the temper of the people better had
be been at the convention.
A WEAK TICKET.
Councilman Thomas Mullen I think it
a weak ticket Any good Democrat can
carry Allegheny against Delamater, pro
vided Giles and O'Leary leave the county
two months prior to the election. They
drive Democrats out of the party.
John P. Ennis I second Mullen's mo
tion. ,
W.J. Brennen The ticket was conceived
in sin and born in iniquity. It is the crea
tion of corruption and represents boodle and
bribery.
TVILIi BE IN ITNE.
Jas. P. Witherow, of the Hotel Dnquesne,
in commenting upon the action of tbe con
vention, said: "I am naturally disappointed
at the selection of the convention, and will
feel sore about it for some time, but when
the day comes to do the voting you will see
that we are all in line for tbe choice of the
convention. I think that Major Montooth
had the support of the people, but they had
no control over the delegates. His action,
I think, will meet the approbation of his
friends."
J. B. Larkin The convention's action is
just what I anticipated. Their selection
will snit the Democrats well, in my opinion.
Major Montooth acted very manly in the
course he pursued. His action, I think,
will meet the approval of his followers.
J. J. McCaffrey, Secretary of the Randall
CInb Contrary to my expectation, Dela
mater was nominated. I thought when it
came down to a vote on party principles,
Hastings wonld be the nominee, bnt the
wires were worked well, and the little Na
poleon attained his wish. The selection will
be a good thing for the Democrats, if Patti
son is nominated. I think Allegheny conn
ty will go solid for the latter it he gets the
nomination, which from present indications
he will.
DELAMATER A FAVORITE.
PROMINENT ALLEGHENIANS THINK HE IS
THE MAN.
They Expect Some Opposition Friend of
Pnttlson Have bomelblne to Say A
Prospect for (scratching" Montooth Bien
Talk.
Mayor Wyman was found in his office
yesterday discharging municipal duties
with neatness and dispatch. When asked
as to what he thought ol Delamater's can
didacy, he stopped long enough to remark:
"I think he is a first-classman. There is
nothing in the opposition ot those who are
against him. If Delamater was good enough
to win the nomination, he ought to be en
titled to tbe whole support of his party."
Allegheny is almost deserted by prom
inent people who have their hands on the
political pulse of the city, but there were a
few in the town yesterday afternoon who
had not joined the hegira to Harrisburg.
Mr. Graham, of the Pleasant Valley road,
was seen, and expressed himself as follows:
"I wonld rather, have heard of Montooth
being the choice of the nomination, but
since Delamater is tbe man it is a toregone
conclusion that he will win without any
trouble."
NOT ENOUGn TO HUBT.
Mr. Kennedy, who offered the resolution
to adopt tbe Crawford system of voting at
the anti-Bayne meeting a few weeks ago,
said: "There may be some scratching in
Allegheny county, but not enongh to hurt
Delamater."
Mr. Spangler, of the Third National
Bank Delamater will encounter some op
position from the eastern part of the State
and around here. That wonld split the
party, and, with more than two candidates
in the field, Pattison, tbe Democratic nomi
nee, would stand a favorable chance. Pat
tison made a very good Goveror once be
fore. Apropos or this, the following opinion
from Assistant Postmaster Clarke will be
interesting: "Delamater is only one in it
I do not look lor any other Republican
candidate. Many think Pattison may
stand a show, but he has no chance. Re
member that when be was elected Governor
there were three candidates running."
Health Officer Bradley's clerk, Mr. Ma
looey, observed: "J. aon't believe Dela
mater will carry this county without Mon
tooth on the ticket They promised the
Major four years ago that it he dropped out
of the fight in Beaver's favor they would
snpnort him this year. That promise is
now' broken. But Major Montooth will re
ceive some votes."
wilx. cabrt the county.
Ex-Postmaster Myler Pattison made a
fine Governor, and I would not be surprised
to see him cut a prominent figure in the
present campaign. However, Delamater
will easily carry Allegheny county by 6,000
majority.
"X am in uvor.of Major aiontootn, saia
Dr. Stueltine, "He ii the Allegheny
THE
county candidate. I would 1 ke to see him
on the ticket, but since Delamater is chosen
he will likely receive the solid Republican
vote."
Mr. McKinney, the hinge manufacturer,
spoke thusly: "Delamater is a favorite.
His chances for Governor are gilt edged.
Major Montooth was out of the race long
ago."

G. O. P. Wallace Not FUnred on as a

On the Southside the politicians got the
news early and could be found in little knots
on (he streets or at the clnbs talking it over.
There was no hesitancy 'in expressing opin
ions, as nearly all seemed to have decided
whom they, would support if such and
such a combination won in the
political game of checkers. On all
hands the nomination of Pattison was spoken
of as a sure thing, and the interviews were
nearly all based on that probability. If
Wallace was mentioned the interviewed,
whether Republicans or Democrats, gen
erally shook their heads with an air that said
that he wasn't in it, or, if ho was, the whole
basis of decision was destroyed, and a new
combination would have to be made then to
meet the case.
THE LOTUS CLUB SATISFIED.
Alderman McGary, William Ruhlandt,
Emwett Colton, candidate for Assembly
from the Fifth District Council, JohnVogt,
Robert Getty and Phillip Hare formed one
group to discuss the situation. They are all
members of tbe Lotus Club, a recognized
Republican stronghold of the Southside.
They expressed general satisfaction with
the nomination of Delamater- but would
rather have seen Montooth get it
However, they will follow the party and its
choice, and work tor its nominee.
A visit to the clnbrooms ol Patterson Post
151, G. A. It., found the members discussing
the news. To a question as to how the G.
A. R. stood, they said each could speak for
No. 1, as the G. A. R., as an organization,
had no one voice. The Republicans in 'the
room said that they were for Montooth, but
would support Delamater, and he was a sure
winner. It was conceded that Pattison
would make a good fight, but the "G. O. P."
would come out on top.
A GBEAT MISTAKE.
A. C. Jarrett It was a great mistake,
and if Pattison is elected there will be a big
fight.
Dr. C. C. Hersman A good many Re
publicans will bolt
Councilman J. N. Jarrett A good many
Republicans will vote for Pattison. I don't
like this one-horse power.
Lawrence McGrath Pattison is a sure
winner.
D. A. Jones I was for Montooth, but
will support Delamater.
Felix Lafferty Delamater will be a sure
winner.
W". F. Zoeller I am a Republican, but
will vote for Pattison if he is nominated.
Alderman Geiry Pattison would make a
good fight on his record. Wallace would
have no show. Delamater is a sure winner.

THE TYPOS' CHOICE,
A Poll Is Token and Pattlaon Is In the

Last night a poll of the typos in The
Dispatch composing room was taken to
ascertain what Gubernational caudidate
was the most popular. The list was headed
with the leaders of the two parties, Dela
mater and Pattison. As the voting went
on amid considerable interest it soon be
came apparent that the choice of the com
positors was settled on one man, with little
opposition. .
There were SI who Toted and they repre
sented nearly all shades of political
opinions. This is how the candidates run,
when the count was made: For Delamater,

TURNED OUT OF uv.H HOME.
Stepchildren Refuse to Admit Tbolr Mother
to the Home.
Alderman SamuelF. Kerr, of the Fifteenth
ward, yesterday alternoon heard a strange
story from the lips of Mrs. Margaret
Bracken, who entered a charge of abandon
ment against her husband, Thomas Bracken.
She said that she is the second wife of her
husband, who has several large children.
Her husband owns a piece of property,
which he wanted to sell, so that he conld
settle the proceeds on his children, and, his
wife says, cut her out of her dower. She re
fused to sign the deed for the property, and
the sale fell through. Then he attempted to
mortgage the property for all it was worth,
intending to settle the proceeds of the mort
gage on the children and to let the property
be confiscated by default
Mrs. Bracken learned of this scheme, and
notified the mortgagee not to advance any
loan on the property. This angered her
husband, and he had her sent to the woik
house for 30 days on a charge of drunken
ness. She served the term and returned to
her home, bnt last Saturday her stepchildren
put her out of the house, and have since re
fused to allow her to return, even for her
clothes. She has no relatives to go to, and
has been staying with a neighbor.
The parties live on Thirty-third street
Mr. Bracken was arrested, and gave bail
for a hearing Friday.

MAETIN STEPS DOWN.
The Amalgamated Association Treated
to a Big Surprise.
ME. MADDEN ELECTED SECEETART.
William Weihe Retained as President
Without Opposition.
BOILERMAKERS WANT NINE HOURS
The Amalgamated Association closed its
fifteenth annual session last evening, in the
midst of one of the greatest surprises in the
history of the organization. Secretary
William Martin refused to be a candidate
for re-election, and his assistant, Stephen
Madden, was elected as bis successor. When
the election of officers was taken up in the
afternoon William Weihe was re-elected
without opposition. Nominations were then
opened for secretary. A delegate imme
diately placed the name of William Martin
before the convention.
Mr. Martin jumped to his feet and said:
"Gentlemen, I must decline to accept this
office for another term."
It was like throwing a bombshell into the
Stephen JIadden, the Hew Secretary.
assembly. No one had expected such a
move. Not even the closest friends of Mr.
Martin had surmised that he would refuse
the Secretaryship. He was prevailed upon
to accept the position, but he was firm and
refused to allow his name to be used.
MOVED TO TEAE3.
It must have been a gratifying sight to
Mr. Martin to see men with brave hearts
melt away into tears. They had been his
friends and had stood by him for years, and
they were unable to understand his unex
plained action. It was a surprise even to
Mr. Madden, who had only yesterday told
bis friends he would not be a candidate for
the office against Mr. Martin. He had had
no intimation of any such move as the one
made by Mr. Martin.
After the convention had recovered
Stephen Madden and John H Hunter were
nominated for Secretary. Mr.' Madden won
with ease, the vote being, according to the
official count, 141 to 61.
Mr. Madden, the new Secretary, is a resi
dent of the West End. He is a native of
Ireland, bnt has been in this country since
he was but a small boy. He is a member of
Valley Lodge No. 2, and has been a dele
gate to the association for the past 11 years.
He has filled the office of assistant secretary
for four years, and last year was a candidate
against Mr. Martin for the. secretaryship.
He is popular in tbe convention, and his
friends seem to think he would have beaten
Mr. Martin, if the latter had been in the
race. He stated positively to a Dispatch
reporter last evening that he had not in
tended to be a candidate against William
Martin.
Wnl STAETIK REFUSED.
Mr. Martin was seen by a Dispatch re
porter, and in reply "to questions as to why
he refused the office again, said: "There is
a chain of circumstances, surrounding this
thing. There are several reasons why Tre
fused to be nominated again, but I do not
belieye it wonld be proper for me to state
them. They are at least of no interest to
tbe public in general. I had fully made up
my mind not to fill the office another term,
and could have told yoji so two months ago,
bnt I always believe in placing all matters
concerning the association before the con
vention before talking about them through
the press. I have not made up my mind
yet as to what I will do. I have nothing in
view."
The following were the other officers
elected: Assistant Secretary, John C. Kill
callon; Treasurer, James Penny; Trustees,
James H. Nutt, of Youngstown; Edward
O'Donnell, of Philadelphia, and Edward

Cleveland, Youngstown, Steuoenville and
Allegheny City were candidates for the

The boiler makers held a meeting last

they were unwilling to accept tbe offers

The manufacturers say it is a practical

DETECTIVES RECOVER A 700
DIAMOND SPARKLER.
SLICK
A Shrlner Who Will Remember Hl Pitts
burg rvUlt-How a Confession Wn
Forced From the Thief,' Who Stole It
The Tonne Woman in Jail.
One of the slickest pieces of detective
work on record in this city is a case finished
by Inspector McAleese and Detectives
Coulson and Robinson yestertfay, by the
arrest of two young women charged with
stealing a 5700 diamond pin from a "Shri
ner" who came here to attend the meeting of
the Imperial Council. The mau is H. K.
Darrae, a well-known railroad official of
St Paul, Minn., and the women are Jean
nette Hays and "Sofey" Sourbeck.said to be
a daughter of the well-known former hotel
proprietor of Ohio. ' .,.-.,
Mr. Darragh arrived in the city last Mon
day, and in the evening paid a visit to the
house of Alice Hazlett, No. 37 Second ave
nue. After staying in the house about 30
minutes be left and afterward visited sev
eral other houses in the lower part of the
cily. While in the third house he missed
his $700 diamond stud and started back to
the first house to trace the stone. The in
mates there were indignant and denied all
knowledge of the stud. In the house was
"Sofey" Sonrbeck and Jeannette Hays.
The man bad been well acquainted with the
former while employed on the Ft Wayne
road as an engineer six or seven years ago,
and boarded at the old Sourbeck House at
Alliance. The women were positive he did
not losp the diamond while with them, but
Darragh's friends reported the matter to In
spector McAleese.
Detective Coulson was engaged to work
up the case. He visited the Hazlett house
and searched all the rooms. He was sure
the diamond had been stolen by one of the
women, but there was not the slightest par
ticle of evidence to justify arresting them.
He took bold chances, however, and ar
rested the Hays woman. Detective Shore
found that the woman had been arrested
once before in Wheeling for shoplifting,
and after being given a hearing, she was
taken to jail. While ruminating as a guest
in Warden Berlin's palace she sent a note
to Detective Robinson. In the meantime
Miss Sourbeck was locked up in Central
station and as a "bluff" she was told that
her friend had made a confession, saying
Miss Sourbeck had taken the pin, and she
would probably be sent to the penitentiary.
The bluff worked as smoothly as anything
could and the girl got scared. She broke
down and began to cry, saying Miss Hays
had taken the pin and bid it under tbe
carpet on the third floor of the house. It
was found there by the detectives. John
Markowitz went bail for Miss Sourbeck and
the other woman will be sent to court.
LIFE GETTING ROSY.
AN EX-ENUMERATOR WHO WOULD NOT
BE ENUMERATED.
He Almost Went to Jail for Refusing to
Ansvrer tbe Qaeitiom Other Informa
tion! IDade Against People for Ob
stinacy A Kick From Hospital Patients.
Census Supervisor Oliver says life is tak
ing on a more rosy hue, and his trials and
tribulations are rapidly passing away. He
stated yesterday that he was disappointed
only in three districts, where tbe returns
were away below what he had calculated
upon. What the districts are he would not
state, but said the reports will be given out
at the proper time.
George Bryant, of McKeesport, who was
charged by Census Enumerator Thomas D.
Brennan with refusing to give information,
was given a hearing yesterday by United
States Commissioner McCandless. His ex
amination bad been taken in Ohio, and for
that reason he refused to answer the enum
erator, and, it was stated, was insnlting.
He incidentally remarked that he had been
an enumerator in 18S0. The evidence, it
wE? stated, was sufficient to hold him for
conrt, but Assistant District Attorney Al
corn gave him a severe lecture and allowed
his discharge alter he had answered all the
questions.
John Fabijan, Stefan TJiporovits, John
Slesak and George Terifay, Hungarians liv
ing in Braddock, wer? given a hearing on
the charges made by Enumerator George
Lawless. Ignorance was their excuse, and
after giving the information they were al
lowed to go.
Enumerator H. E. Beatty, of O'Hara
township, yesterday lodged on information
before Commissioner McCandless, charging
Jamet McRoberts with refnsing to answer
questions. A warrant was issued for Mc
Roberts' arrest
The enumerator who took the census in
the Second district of the Sixth ward missed
manv names from what the people say. At
the Mercy Hospital at least 150 patients
were confined at the time the enumerator
made his visit. From what can be learned,
tbe enumerator was given a list of those
working about the hospital. Outside of
these he made no inquiries about tbe
patients. All over this district people were
encountered who had not been seen by the
enumerator. Tbe information about the
hospital was given by a gentlemanwbo as
sisted the enumerator in fixing up his sheet
A prominent broker, living in Eait
Liberty, said that he or no other person
boarding at tbe house had been seen by tbe
enumerator. Whenever the enumerator
called all the people in the house were in
the city, and the agent did not think a trip
to the city would compensate him suffi
ciently. On this account about 30 people
in the house have been left out of the count

She brought with her William Hue, her

nothing else but report to the police.

HIS DUAL EXISTENCE
Leads to tbe Suicide of, Cbarles
Snezel, of the Southside. by
TAKIK6 paris geken ahd whisky
His Secret Disclosed by a
Policy.
Life Insurance
A BIGHT OP AG0NI ENDS IN DEATH.
Suicide seems to be all the fashion on the
Southside, and paris green the favorite anti
dote for domestic troubles and unfortunate
love affairs.
Yesterday Charles Suezel, a Swiss, living
at 1921 Jane street, when at home, drowned
his troubles with whisky and paris green
mixed. He took too much, and lingered in
intense agony for fully 18 hours.
The cause for Suezel's rash act as far as
learned presents a rather complicated state
of affairs. Mrs. Suezel cannot speak
English, but was last night interviewed
through an interpreter. She ,, said she was
married to Suezel about five years ago by
Rev. Gustave Lorch. The pair had three
children born to them, the youngest being 6
weeks old.
A BECBEAKT HUSBAXD.
Suezel for some time worked in Dilworth
& Porter's spike mill, at South Fourth
street Soon, however, his love for domes
ticity seemed to have declined. He would
go away for months and when he returned
wonld abuse his wife and then, after re
pentance, wonld disappear. He had been
away for five months and only returned
Monday. The pair made up and domestic
felicity for a time was in force again.
Mr. Edwin Strunz, who lives in another
part of the house, said when Suezel came
home his wife and some of her friends "went
for him" for his actions.
On Tuesday morning at 3 o'clock Edwin
Strunz heard a noise in the yard, and on
going out lound Suezel rolling on a bench
and vomiting poison. In telling the story,
Mr. Strunz said: "I told him that he had
taken too much, and if he had come to me I
would have shown him better. He blus
tered around, and I told him he ought to go
down to the river. I then went to bed, and
when I got up in the morning found him
again rollingion a bench."
"WOULD NOT TAKE MEDICINE.
Dr. Oscar Pringler was sent for about 9
o'clock yesterday, and applied antidotes and
left medicine, but Suezel spat it out, and
would not take It, and lingered in agony
until he died, at about 5:30 last evening.
Just betore Suezel died he handed an in
surance policy for $1,000 in a beneficiary
association to the doctor. It read, "To My
Wife, Saliie;" and here is where the mys
tery began, or rather the cause of the
suicide became clear. His wife's
name it Mary. She afterward said that he
had another wife and three children, bnt in
her excitement at tbe time ot tbe event,
would not satisfactorily answer the query
as to where the other family lived, or if she
had any proof that such was the case. It
was also said by Mr. Strunz that there was
girl of 18 mixed up in the family complica

PARE POLICEMAN IN PERIL
Fifty Tocngsters Throw Stones at Him
While Arresting; a Bor.
Park Policeman Lanahan last evening
had trouble to make the children keep off
the grass in Allegheny park after 8 o'clock.
He charged down on them, and they called
him "chippy chaser," "dog chaser," "sleepy
head," etc. He caught Martin Cohen and
started to take him to the lockup. About
50 boys followed and threw stones. Lanahan
was bit by one, and, pulling his revolver,
ordered the youngsters to keep back. They
did so, and without any further trouble he
got the boy to the lockup.
He wanted Mayor Wyman to give the boy
an immediate hearing, but the Mayor re
fused and told h'inr he would not break his
rule of holding hearings in the morning
only, and told him to come around at 8
o'clock. In 15 minutes the boy was out on
bis own recognizance to appear this morn

A SUGGESTION TO MINERS.
Plan to Save Life in Future Disasters Like
the One at Dnnbar.
A crowd of anxious men gathered around
The Dispatch bulletin board yesterday
discussing the fate of the entombed miners
at Dunbar. One of the gentlemen was heard
to suggest that the present disaster wonld be
the means of starting the miners to thinking
about bow they can provide for themselves
in case of such accidents.
The gentleman thought it wonld be practi
cal for operators to keep canned goods and
other eatables in tbe mines all the time, so
that tbe men could be prepared against dis
asters of the present character. Tbe matter
was discussed pro and con by tbe men, Lalf
ot them thinking tbe plan a good one, while
the others were inclined to believe it im
practical. IN JAIL FOE TTMTTEZZT.TTM V. K T,

WOUNDEDAND DYING.
A DAY OF SUFFERING FOR UNFORTUNATE
HUMANITY.
Felt From a Waon and Expected to Die
Bitten by a Boll Doc Drowned In the
Allegheny Serious Ending; of a Boys'
QnarreU
Tim Donavan, a young boy living at
Hawkins' station, was seriously injured
while playing on a wagon in company with
some other youngster yesterday. He fell
trom the wagon, striking his head on tbe
ground and crushing his skull badly. He
was brought to this city and removed to the
Mercy Hospital, where tbey say that the
boy will die from his injuries.
William Rose, aged 16 yean, was drowned
in the Allegheny river at the foot of Twenty-third
street at about 7 o'clock last night.
He and Andrew Smith went to the
river ,to swim. Rose dived into the
water from a raft and did not come to the
surface again. His body has not been re
covered. He was employed at McCnlly's
glass bouse on Thirty-third street His
parents live at the corner of Thirty-third
and Ridge streets.
Thomas Donivan, aged 6 years, who lives
at Braddock, was brought to the Mercy
Hospital last evening snffering'from a frac
tured skull. It appears that young Doni
van, with several companions, was playing
with an empty wagon at the top ot a very
steep hill and in some way the wagon started
down the grade with Donivan. The wagon
collided against a tree, throwing the boy
violently to the ground. His head struck a
large stone, fracturing his skull. He was
still unconscious at the hospital up to a late
hour last night and his recovery is donbtfnl.
Michael Bowiscut, who lives at No. 14
Tustin street, was delivering the evening
paper at the residence of Mrs. Walter, on
Locust street, near VanBraam, last evening,
when a large bulldog bounded upon him,
biting him in the leg. The wound was
burned and bandaged by Dr. Barckley.
Officer Rosenblatt shot the dog.
Last evening two small boys began to fight
on Thirty-sixth street One named Zinjber
was throw down and had his arm dislocated
at the elbow. He was taken to a physi
cian's office, where the injury was dressed.
Yesterday afternoon Arthur Plater, col
ored, was violently attacked by cramps
while at work in Clark's mill, Lawrence-
vine. tie leu to tne ooor unconscious ana
was badly bruised. He was taken to a doc
tor's office, where he was relieved and then
removed to his home on Jones avenue.
MRS. POTTER'S DOUBLE.
A Little Chicago Exponent of Delsarte That
Greslly Tlrs-mbles the Actress.
The Chicago Conservatory has a pupil
who strikingly resembles Mrs. James Brown
Potter. She is Miss Mildred Holland, a
modest little student of 22, who rather dis
likes the title "Chicago's Mrs. Brown Pot
ter." Miss Holland's face is marked by
much more strength than Mrs. Pot
ter's, especially about the chin
and mouth, bnt the general
contour at a slight distance is wonderfully
like the fair reader who first came into fame
through " 'Ostler Joe." She is not quite
so tall and lacks that sinuous symmetry of
the other.
The hair that fell to her shoulders, as she
took her place on the Conservatory plat
form the other day, framed her face in a
raven black arch, and her soft brown
eyes looked auestioningly at Mis3 Anna
Morgan, tbe Western exponent of the ex
pressiveness of Delsarte.
"Grieil" said Miss Morgan.
Instanly tbe brown eyes were moist with
a deep sadness, while "around the mouth
lines told of a ' suffering sacred, deerj and
pervading. The contraction of the brows,
the hopeless helplessness of the whole pict
ure, the clasped hands and drawn face,
made a picture that might have resulted
from a great bereavement.
"Hatred!" commanded the instructor.
The mist of tears vanished before the
glow that came into the eyes, now shining
with a tigerish expression, implacable and
relentless in its purpose. There were lines
about the mouth, but tbey were hard, piti
less and cruel. The nostrils were dilated
by a great storm of passion. Her hair hung
like hissing serpents about tbe head, while
two delicate pink hands were clinched so
tightly that tbe knuckles stood out in white
spots.
"Mirth 1" said Miss Morgan.
A sunshine of dimples lit up the face,
while the brown eyes merrily sparkled and
two rows of even teeth, moist and pearly,
were disclosed.
The three pictures concluded Miss Mil
dred Holland's work and sbe stepped down.
