T J FORTY-FIFTH TEAK. FIRED DFFJHE FLOOR, Speaker Reed Bounces James G. Blaine, Jr., From His Ex clusive Domain. MAINE'S BIG MEN AT WAR. The Federal Election Scheme Shelved in the Senate, Though A DECIDEDLY VIGOROUS PROTEST lias Been Entered by Republican SIcmbers of too Lower House, DID BOODLE DEFEAT HE, TOWUSEKD James G. Blaine, Jr., was yesterday or dered from the floor of the House of Repre sentatives by direction of Speaker Reed. This is said to be another outbreak of the hostility between Maine's two leading statesmen. The Federal election bill seems to be buried in the Senate. .Republican members of the Honse have issued an ap peal to the country to arouse that dignified body to action. rirECTAX. TTXEQBAM TO THE DISPATCH.! "Washhtctost, July 9. Speaker Reed was so irritated to-day by the fact that he, for once, could not count a quorum, and the Information that the Federal election bill would be shelved in the Senate, that he Tented his anger against the Secretary of State upon the son of his distinguished fel low citizen from Maine. James G. Blaine, Jr., was this afternoon ordered off the floor of the House of Representatives by direction of Sir. Reed. There have been many circumstances re cently indicating a bitter conflict between the two Pine Tree statesmen. Shortly after Speaker Reed designated Representative Hitt, of Illinois, as Chairman of the Com mittee on Foreign Affairs, young James G. Blaine was appointed clerk, an easy berth with little to do, and a salary of 82,220 per annum. Much surprise was manifested at this appointment because of the enmity be tween Secretary Blaine and Speaker Reed. VIOLATION OP A BULE. Chairman Hitt is a warm friend of the Secretary, however, and an intimate and in separable chum of the Speaker, so he could hardly have made the appointment of his clerk without consulting the Speaker. There is a rule of the House prohibiting the privilege of the floor to any of the commit tee clerks except when measures reported from their committees are under discussion. The rule has not been strictly enforced in the case of Mr. Blaine, the foreign affair clerk, ud complaint has been made from time' to time that he was allowed to enter the chamber during sessions. The matter was brought to the attention of Mr. Reed on one or more occasions, but ne took no action until to-day, waiting, per haps, to see if the error would not correct itself. It did not, and this afternoon one of the doorkeepers received orders to ask Mr. Blaine to leave the floor of the House, which he did with some reluctance. AIMED AT TOUJfQ BLAINE. Orders were then issued by the Speaker that the rules of admission be strictly en forced without regard to persons, and the doorkeepers given to understand that the Speaker was in earnest, and that young Blaine, in particular, was to be no excep tion to the general rule. As to the other source of Mr. Reed's irri tation there is scarcely a doubt that theF ed eral election bill has been laid'to rest for this session, at least, notwithstanding a fiery appeal to the Republican press issued to-night by Representative Belden, Chair man of the Congressional Campaign Com mittee. A portion of this document is as follows: The Kepnblican party In Its several national platforms has pledged the country that as one of its fundamental planks it would see to the execution of that provision of the Constitution which guarantees to every lawful voter in Fed oral elections his right to deposit his ballot and have It counted for the candidate of his choice. JTJST A LITTLE COSIPAEISON. The House, faithful and active in the fulfil ment of party pledces, zealous in the perform ance of a great public trust, and undaunted by the diabolical threats and assaults ot the Democratic party, has promptly performed its duty by the passage or the bilL Now it only remains for the Republican majority in the Senate to.emulate the House and permit the President, by his s.gnature, to ratify and register the wiU of the nation. 'Will the Senate promptly perform this imperative obligation? h The committee is in possession of informa tion showing a concentrated effort on the part of the Democratic party to change the trend of public thought by poisoning the minds of the people to the end that a sentiment may be manufactured that would deter Congress from passing a national election law at this session. It is believed that a favorable expression of opinion at this juncture from the Itepublican press all along the line would be as forcible as timely, and would exert a wholesome influence and inspire legislators to the carrying out ot the party's pledge. ALL ANXIOUS TO SUIT. The truth is, as stated heretofore, that there is a practical agreement by which ad journment is to be had soon after the pas sage of the tariff bill. The friends of the elections bill have been aware for a long time of the strong opposition to it among the Republican Senators and for this reason the holding of a caucus is being postponed. Senator Hoar returned to the citv to-day an,d immediately began an active canvass among his colleagues to ascertain how many of them will vote in caucus to proceed with the elections bill, no matter if it should pro long the session into December, and to brine these skeptical Senators to an appre ciation of their duty in the matter. The re sultof his work to-day was not very encour aging, and he was surprised at the large number of his colleagues who think that there is no necessity of forcing the elec tions bill just at present The hot weather haB a great deal to do with Senatorial opinion as to what legisla tion should be enacted, and if the present high temperature continues the advocates of an early adjournment will increase very rapidly. HOPE OP THE STATWABT8. The friends of the elections pil! are pin- ning their faith on the ability of Messrs. Sherman, Hoar, Piatt and one or two others of the older Senators to force those of their colleagues who are now lukewarm or op posed to the bill to supporting a cancus resolution for its consideration. These Senators hope that if a few of the old leaders make an earnest and vigorous appeal for the bill, the Senators who are now inclined to postpone its consideration will be forced into voting to take it up. It is a fact that a small numberof Senators generally control the opinions of their colleagues, but such a largt number are outspoken in their belief that the eleotions bill should not be pro ceeded with further, that is is not likely they will change their views now,even at the dictation of the caucus. The present situation of affairs in the House of Representatives i also having a direct influence in the Senate upon the growing sentiment in favor of postponing action upon Mr. Reed's bill. There is no more than a bare quorum on the House in the city, and each day the number is less ened. TOO MANY MEMBEKS ABSENT. The Democrats there have given notice that they will allow the transaction of very little more business, except such as they favor, and as the Republicans have nothing like a quorum of their members here, even the all-powerful members of the Committee on Rules will not be able to put through any legislation to which the Democrats offer serious opposition. Mr. Reed and his colleagues have done their work so well that all of the more important bills of the House have been acted upon, and there are now no more pressing party measures on the calendars. KOf course, the large number of members who have left the city have gone with the understanding that they may be called back at any time, and it is probable that it may be necessary to secure their attendance in order to adopt the conference report on the silver bill. The question of whether the session will be prolonged beyond the pres ent month rests entirely with the Senate, and the opinion of a large majority of the Senators undoubtedly is that informal ar rangement for the passage of the tariff bill and the abandonment of the elections bill will be lived up to, and adjournment had daring the first week in August. GLASS MEN KICKING, THE ACTION OF THE SENATE OUSLY DENOUNCED. viuon. A Demand That the Rate of Dntr of the RIcKlnley BUI be Restored A Powerful Pressure Will be Bransht to Bear, ifbom x erxrr coreisfoxdint. Washington, July 9. The glass m en representing the Eastern and "Western dis tricts of the "Window Glass "Workers' Asso ciation held a session at the Hotel Randall to-day with closed doors, and talked gen erally of their interests, and particularly of the reduction of tariff rates by the Senate from those prescribed in the McKinlcy bill. Much indignation was expressed by mem bers at the cool manner in which the "American House of Lords" had cut down rates that were decided upon by the true representatives of the people after long In vestigation and with a desire to be fair to all classes. Some of the speakers were very vigorous in their denunciation of this exhibition of impudence ou the part of the Senate. The main purpose of the deliberation is to de vise some way to have the duties restored to the figures of the McKinley bill, but just what plan will be pursued has not yet been decided upon. It is possible the gentlemen present may demand a hearing in a body from the Senate Finance Committee, and that a special committee will be appointed to remain here and look after the glass in terests, or, possibly, the special committee only may be appointed. None of the leaders of the little glass congress will say what they have in their minds, and the rank and file will not say anything. Those present at the meeting to day were as follows: John P. Eberhard, President: James CamDbell, L. Conaway, William S. Janes, "W. H. Synar, Daniel "Winters and H. S. Campbell, of Pittsburgj B. J. Norcross. of Bellaire; Isaac T.

Washington, July 9. For several days rumors have been floating about the capital among the Pennsylvania Congressmen of corruption discovered in making the nomi nation for Congress in the district composed of Mercer, Lawrence, Bntler and Beaver counties, now represented by Con gressman Townsend. The candidates were Banker McDowell, of Mercer county: ex-Congressman Jackson, of Lawrence county; Attorney Black, of Butler, and Representative Townsend, of Beaver. After many adjournments and more than 200 bal lots, McDowell, the Sharon banker, was nominated by a bolt to him of three of Townsend's delegates. Charges of corrup tion were immediately, though not openly, made, but later the charge was made direct that the men had been purchased. It is now stated here on what seems to be the best of authority, that two of the three delegates have confessed, but which of the two is not stated. The story goes that friends of Mr. Townsend went to one, an old Beaver county; farmer, and frightened him into a confession by assuring him that one of the other had confessed. With this in formation they went .to another aud wrung a confession irom him by giving the exact amount paid and all the circumstances at tending the payment The third was ob durate and steadily denied the impeach ment. Friends of Mr. McDowell in this city relnse, however, to believe that there is any truth in the story, banking on his hitherto unassailed character for strict in tegrity. DILATORY DEMOCRATS Slaking Blatter Very Uncomfortable for the Honse of Representatives. IFEOM JL STAFF COBBESFOl.DEjrT.1 Washington, July 9. In these dog days the members find that time lays heavy on their hands, especially since the Demo crats commenced to filibuster. A call of the House to-day was insisted on by the. Democrats. The doors were closed as usual and the heat was stifling. Finally Con gressman Beyburn resorted to a little strategy to compel a violation of the rules and prevent the roasting of Congress. He held the lighted end of his cigar below the bulb of the thermometer, which then regis tered 100. The attention of the Speaker was called to the mad upward career the thermometer was taking, but he still relused to open the doors. The Democrats were punished for their filibustering, but the Republicans also had to suffer. McKinley Called From the Capital. Washington, July 9.

THE HOUSE DEMANDS INFORMATION AS TO BEHRINQ SEA. Secretary Blaine Called Upon for the Recent Correspondence Concerning the Trouble Samoa Cnnses a Deadlock on an Appropriation Bill. Washington, July 9. In the House to day Mr. Hitt, of Illinois, from the Commit tee on Foreign Affairs, reported back a mo tion requesting the President to furnish the House with correspondence between the Government of the United States and Great Britain touching the subjects in dispute in Behring Sea since March 4, 18S9. Mr. Me Creary, of Kentucky, in advocating Mr. Hltt's resolution, referred to certain newspaper reports of a breaking off of the negotiations between the two countries, and said that it was of importance that such correspondence as could properly be laid before the House should be com municated to it He believed that the Secre tary of State and Sir Julian Pauncefote were in consultation at Bar Harbor, but he thought it was important that the House should know the import of recent corre spondence. Mr. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, sug gested that the Secretary ot State had au thority to communicate any matter of im portance to the House. Was there such gravity in the situation in Behring Sea that the House itself should take the-initia-tive? Mr. Hitt replied that it was the usual course ot the Committee on Foreign Affairs to call for information. The resolu tion was adopted. Mr. Hitt then called upon the consnlar and diplomatic appropriation bill. This precipitated a debate upon the Samoan treaty. When the vote was called Speaker Reed was unable, after several attempts, to count a qnorum, and the measure went over without action.

The Increase Made by the Sundry Civil Appropriation Measure "Washington, July 9. Tho Bundry civil bill, as reported to the Senate to-day by the Appropriations Committee, carries with it an appropriation of 531,241,680, an increase or $3,181,000. The estimate for the year was $37,849,513, so that the bill reported is $6,500,172 less than the estimates and $5,944,338 more than the bill of last year. The most important feature of the work of the Senate Committee on this bill is the elimination from the measures of the appro priation of $777,500 for an irrigation survey. This provision was vigorously attacked by a number of Western senators and they suc ceeded in defeating it in committee. H'CtJLLOCH VERY ILL.

The famous finan cier is a very old man, 82 years old, and he has been very ill of late so ill, in fact, that the members of his family have been sum moned to his bedside, and great fears are entertained that the venerable ex-Cabinet officer may not in his present enfeebled con dition be able to rally from the debilitating effects of the present heated term.

Railroads Attack the Constitutionality of a Buckeye Lnir la Tain. rSPECIAL TELXORAH TO THE DISFATCIM Columbus, July 9. Judge Pugh, of Common Pleas Court, this morning decided the case brought to settle the constitution ality of the Massie railroad dollar-a-mile law. The law compels railroads to pay a fee of $1 per mile for each mile of line in the State when they make their report to the Railroad Commissioner. The Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St Louis Railway re fused to comply with the law, and Attorney General Watson brought suit to force the road to pay the fee. The railroad company claimed that the law was uncon stitutional and insisting that the fee was a tax; that it was not levied by a uniform rule, as taxes are required to be levied by section 2 of article 12 of the Constitution, and as the law did not state distinctly the objeet of the tax, as required by section 5 of the sime article, it was void. The Attorney General claimed it was con stitutional. The Judge held the law did not violate the Constitution, and that the railroad company must pay the lee or tax. EXTENDS TO MAINE THIS TIME. Ono of 'the Most Destructive Wind Storms Ever Known In tbe Stnte. Lewiston, Me., July 9. Specials from Somerset, Waldo, Oxford and Franklin counties indicate that last evening's cyclone was one of the most disastrous that ever visited Maine. The Sandy River Railroad bridge near Phillips was blown from its abutments into tbe river. Many barns were blown down all through Franklin county. At North Anson the bridge across Carrabas sett river is so twisted as to be nnsafe. The Maine Central Institute at Pittsfield is damaged to a small extent. Captain Goodrich's cottage at Madison was blown flat Wm. Gunther's house in Bethel was moved from its foundation. At Thorndyke a store was demolished.

All the Spanish treaties of commerce are denounceable in 1891, and the budget law which has just been passed, empowers the Government to revise these treaties and to raise all the tar iffs. The declaration by the new Govern ment of a strong protectionist policy is in line with this action of the Cortes aud there is every probability that this policy will be thoroughly carried out. The Canovas Cabinet, although it con tains three men who were named by Mar shal Campos, two of them are Liberals, has not attempted the impossible by trying to govern with the old Cortes, in which there would undoubtedly have been a majority against it, and therefore it dissolved Parlia ment and will test the permanence of the new Ministry by the new elections. But for this clever maneuver there is lit tle qnestiou that Sagasta would have shortly been recalled by the Queen Regent, and that the new elections, the first under his enlarged suffrage, would have been held un der his direction.

Mr. Parnell, upon undergoing examination before the Parlia mentary Committee on Colonization, offered very sensible advice with regard to Ireland. He said that if the Government intends to spend any money for tbe relief of the con gested districts in Ireland all the fnnds available for the purpose ought to be de voted to the policy of developing the local and national industries. He declared that tbe Irish fisheries particularly ought to be fostered, and that the development of indus tries is the only true way, and the only wel come way, of alleviating the misfortunes of the industrial classes in Ireland. Mr. Parnell insisted that migration Is much preferable to emigration, and that there is plenty of work in Ireland to employ the people profitably If the grinding pov erty of the country were a little relieved by British money, much of which has been carried out of Ireland by British landlords.

The deputies found he was in town and they went to mate the arrest He got away by a break to the hills, where his horse was hobbled. The deputies tracked him in his bare feet to a point where he put on his shoes and continued up into the hills. Getting to his horse he pulled off the hobbles and mounted the animal bareback. About this time the deputies saw him in the darkness and ordered a surrender. Then Barnham and his horse with the hobbles started down hill, running over a deputy and knocking him down. Several shots were fired after the retreating polvgamist, but he kept on and was followed by the deputies. That was a fearful ride, with out saddle or blanket, on a horse without a bridle and with nothing to guide him but the hobble held in his hands. This brave subject of the chosen people rode on an ani mal covered with foam and running a dis tance or 40 miles over the worst kind of rpad, up and down hill, over rocks and brush. The 40 miles was made between 2 o'clock in the morning and 9 o'clock. That took him across the line into Nevada beyond the reach of the officers. fJOUBTED BY PHOTOGRAPH, A Canadian Marriage Which Was an Event of Public Interest. rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Ottawa, July 9. There was quite a ripple of excitement on Saturday at Rat Portage over a romantic courtship and mar riage of a Rainy river settler. The groom was Robert Gill,1 the teacher of the Indian school, and the bride Miss Emily Taylor, of Owen Sound. Neither of tbe contracting parties had seen the other, but had corres ponded and exchanged photos. The groom arrived earlv in tbe week to meet his lutnre wife, expecting her on Tuesday, but in this he was disappointed, but on Saturday last was more successful. The train arrived at noon, and the citizens, being aware of the approaching meeting, turned out in large numbers to see the event As tbe train drew in a trim looking young lady jumped off the car, and her large dark eyes rapidly sized up the crowd to see her loved one. , Mr. Alexander Rocking, of Elm river, acted as masterot ceremomes,and at once took the young bride in charge. He introduced the pair, although be bad never met the youne lady, and tbe groom seemed greatly elated over the prize he had drawn. The crowd set up a laugh and could hardly re sist a cheer when the party marched off for a marriage license. All the ministers in town were down at the station, but of course none of them were looking for the job. At any rate the nair were tied fast and hard .shortly after toe arrival ot the train, A BREWERS' BATTLE That is Proving to be a Veritable Picnic for ihe Eetailers.

The Chicago Brew ers' Association at its regular monthly meeting this afternoon indulged In an ani mated discussion of the present demoralized condition of their trade. A beer war hasbeen in progress in this city for a long time, and as a result the price of beer has fallen from 57 and ?8 per barrel to S4 and ?5, and there is every reason to believe tbat it will fall to 53 belore the war is over. The saloon keepers are reaping a rich harvest, forthe beer retails at Scents a glass, the same as it was before any reduction was made, and the bulk of their sales are made by the glass, except in some of the poorer districts. ENOEMOTJS PEOFIT3. "Their profits have been enormous," said the agent for a Milwaukee brewery this afternoon. "You can figure it out for your self. A barrel costs 55. If it is sold strictly by the glass it will bring 550, for there are from 1,200 to 1,600 glasses to the barrel, and with a few sprinkling of 'snits,' the profit will amount to 575 or even $100. On an investment of 55 there is nothing in Chicago to equal that" The saloon keeper seems to be the only person benefited by the war. Their cus tomers gain nothing, and the loss to the brewers is enormous. Just now about 5,000,000 glasses of beer per day are drank in Chicago, which represents an expendi ture of 5250,000 per day, or 57,500,000 per month. The percentage of this going to the brewer is becoming smaller and smaller. although he has had to bear the heaviest part of the burden, tor, in Chicago, the bulk of the saloons are established and main tained by brewing firms, that being the only means they have to get their goods before the public. SECEET3 OF THE BUSINESS. They buy or lease the real estate, get and pay for the licenses, put in a lessee or a pur chaser on installments, and protect him when he gets into difficulty. In return for this the saloon keeper becomes a henchman of this brewer, sells only his particular brand of beer, and exerts' his political in fluence to protect the brewers' interests. The immediate occasion for the present excessive competition is the advent of a number of new brewing companies, the Northwestern, the Star, Steger's, the American and others, who sought to gain a foothold that they might participate in the enormous profits realized by such large establishments of those of Conrad Seipp, Barthold, Moe & Licht, and others that micht be named. The recent formation of this City of Chi cago Brewing and Malting Company, by which five of the largest breweries are oper ated, seemed to increase the competition, and the new comers rapidly put down the prices and threw out agents in every direc tion, who offered all sorts of inducements to secure a market for their beer. A FIGHT TO THE DEATH. These troublesome rival must be got rid of before there will be any money in the business for the great con cerns, but how to do it is tbe question tbat has been puzzling the mem bers of the Brewers' Association. One method that has been suggested is to have the Legislature pass a law against adultera tion of beer, for one incident of the present war is that the qnality of the beer has de teriorated about as fast as the price to the saloon keeper has lessened. The brewer has found it necessary to use less and less malt and hops and more aud more cheap substi tutes in order to have any profit for his work. This afternoon's meeting of their associa tion ended without prodncing any results. WITH PISTOLS AND CLUBS. STRIKERS ENGAGE IN A WILD MELEE IN A WISCONSIN TOWN. A Contractor Keeps the Slob at Bay With n Drawn Revolver His Life Threatened An Attempt to Storm a Steel Works Several Men Hurt. West Stjpebioe, Wis., July 9. There have been several riotous demonstrations among the strikers to-day. It was expected that the strike among street laborers would be ended to-day by the men accepting the old wages of 51 25 a day. The despondenoy of the men was bnt a lull before the storm. About 200 of tbe strikers appeared in the main streets this morninsr, aud proceeded to the work on Twelfth street where about 40 men were employed. The strikers rushed upon them and a fight ensaed. Contractor Sutton cut one man on the arm with a shovel. The strikers chased Sutton to his house three blocks, beating him with clubs. Later in the dav the mob arrived at the American Steel Barge Works, where they were kept at a distance with revolvers. After dinner another attempt was made to iorce the works. Contractor Anderson shot one man in the head, the bullet glancing and hitting a man named John Poster in the lelt arm. The strikers then charged, but Mr. Anderson held his ground with drawn revolver, while the mob tbrew bricks and club3 and anything they could lay their bands upon. When Mayor Patterson and a force of special police arrived on the grounds, the strikers were ready to take Anderson's life. Mr. Anderson was taken away and con cealed in the second story of the carpenter shop. Tbe strikers soon learned tnii he was concealed about the premises, and tbe men climbed up and found him, but Mayor Patterson quickly acted by appointing a committee ot strikers aud a crowd of police men to see Anderson to tbe City Hall. To night 50 well-known citizens have been sworn in as special policemen.

Last night an exploring party examined it Tbe leader stumbled over an object, which, upon examination,proved to be the petrified body of an Indian squaw.

Quite a collection of stone cooking uten sils, tomahawks, axes and pipes were found near the bodies; also six good sized lumps of a shining ore, which Prof. Charles Hutchinson, of this place, pronounces gold ore. They have been sent to the Rose Poly technic at Terre Haute to be assayed. Ihe squaw mummy is now oa exhibition. REPUBLICANS' WILL; LABOR VIGOROUSLY STATE TICKET. FOR THE A Convention or the Clnbs nt an Early Day Wolfe Will Not Baoport Candidate Dela mater The Plans of Ex-Senator Wal lace. rsrzciAi. tzlxgbah to th DisrATcn.i Philadelphia, July 9. Edwin S.

President of tbe Republican League of tnis State, has called 'a meeting of the members of the Executive Committee of the League for Wednesday, July 16, at the rooms of the Young Republican Club, for the purpose of fixing a date for the holding of the annual convention of tbo League of Clnbs, it having already been decided to hold the convention in this city. The intention of President Stuart is to have the convention called at an early date in order to give the clubs thronghout the State an opportunity to organize for the campaign. Mass meetings will be arranged for thronghout tbe State and the Repub lican Leagne, independent of the State or ganization, will supply speakers wherever needed. Another feature of the league or-' ganization will le the enrollment of a corps of active young Repub licans in each ot the counties of tbo State, who will hold themselves in readiness to perform any duties which may be as signed them by the chairman of the Repub lican County Committee. Parades will be made a special feature, and the fireworks of a Presidental campaign will be shot off dur ing the gubernatorial election.

WOLFE AGAINST DELAHATER Because of the Poivcr of the Machine Which Secnred His domination. EPXCIAI. TELXOKAU TO THE DISPATCH. Hakbisbusq, July 9. The statement that Charles S. Wolfe would likely be found supporting Delamater for Governor, received a complete refutation at his hands in this city to-day. Wolfe said he was in closer personal terms with the Re publican candidate for Governor than with Pattison, bat the Democratic nominee more nearly represented the principle he had ad vocated than Delamater, nd that he would vote for bim in consequence. His course was dictated, not so much becanse he loved Pattison, bnt because he hated the machine which was running the Republican party in this State. He was asked whether he would take the stnmp for Pattison, to which question he re plied that his physical condition did not justify any thought on the subject, but that if he did he would have no difficulty in vin dicating the position he had taken in this political canvass by opposing the Republi can party in Pennsylvania. He could say some things in arraignment of that party which would make interesting reading. He claimed still to be a party Prohibitionist, bnt did not propose to throw his vote awav in a contest of the importance of the pend ing one. WALLACE WILL BE BACK In Time to Tote for Pattison at the Elec tion la November. rSrECIAL TZXZQBJJI TO THE DISPATCH.! Philadelphia, July 9. William E. Wallace, son of the ex-Senator, arrived in this city to-day and registered at the Conti nental Hotel. When asked regarding the story that his father intended going to Eu rope to remain during the campaign Mr. Wallace said: My father has heen most unexpectedly called to BnroDe on business. It Is not his in tention to be gone anv great length of time, as it is not long since he spent several months there. The business which calls him is of a nature which demands personal attention, and on that acgonnt alone he will go. One thing Is certain, and that is this, there is nothing in the story tbat be is coing oil because of disappoint ment on account of his not having received tbo Democratic nomination for Governor. Those who know my father know full well that be has large private Interests to see after which demand considerable time and attention. I feel satisfied in saying that be will return in time to vote at the November election. A PARTY OF ASSASSINS. Arkansas Republicans Denounce the Demo crats, but Nominate no Ticket. Little Rock, Abe., July 9. The Re publican State convention met here to-day and declined to place Republican tickets in the field, and formally indorsed the Union Labor ticket, headed'by Rev. N. B. Pizer, for Governor. The platform adopted is a complete indorsement of the administration in power and the majority in Congress and a reaffirmation of party principles. It charges the Democratic party with the murder of John M. Clayton, whose portrait was exhibited in the hall, and declares the Democratic party a party of assassins. A particular plea is made for the Federal election law. EHGLISHMEN BACK OUT. The Foreign Capital for the Gas Syndicate Not Forthcomlnff. SPECIAL TILIOBAM TO THE DISPATCII.l Philadelphia, July 9. The English men who were interested in the formation of the American Gas Investment Company, and were expected to put 515,000,000 into tbe enterprise, have backed out and withdrawn their support from the undertaking. W. W. Gibbs, the promotor of tbe new company, was out of town to-night, and in his absence no other of the gentlemen interested felt authorized to discuss the subject further than to say that the lack of English support was o'nly temporary and due to a misunder standing among the foreigners who were to take preferred stock. "Tbe plan is by no means a failure," said one of the stockholders to-night. "The portion of stock allotted to America was taken fay men of ample mean', and that I believe will insure the ultimate success of the company." The American Gas Investment Company was organized to absorb the United Gas Im provement Company of this city, which owns and operates gas plants in many cities. Its stock has never been of fered to the public, but the ordinary shares were underwritten by capitalists in Philadelphia, New York and Boston. The capital Btock authorized is 550.000,000, of which 530,000,000 was to be called in, and one-bali tbe amount was allotted to Amer ica and the balance to England. PITTSBBBG GETS THE PRESIDENCY.

TOSUEFORDAMAGES Squirrel Hill Road Directors to Go After Chief Bigelow and James McKnight CIVIL AND CRIMINAL SUITS. The Road Was About to be Sold When the Tracks Were Torn Dp. A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE B0AED, Officials Waiting ior an Opinion From tho the Attorneys of the Company. ME. BIGELOW SAYS HE 13 K0T SCAEED A suit for damages is threatened against Chief Bigelow, of the Department of Publio Works, and Superintendent James Mc Knight, of Schenley Park, for tearing np the tracks of the Squirrel Hill Electrio Railroad Company Monday night a week ago. The road was aboat to be sold, when the deal was declared off on account of the tracks being torn up. The next move in the case of the Squirrel Hill Electric Railroad, which was torn up by Superintendent James McKnight, is tha threatened arrest ot Chief Bigelow, of the Department of Public Works, and his as sistant, Mr. McKnight, who did the job. Some of the officers of the company threaten, a civil action against Mr. Bigelow, and a criminal action in Mr. McKnight's case. At a meeting of the directors of the road yesterday, it was thonght something definite would be decided upon, but owing to the fact of nothing being heard from the attor neys of the company, action was postponed. The officers claim they have a good case against the city for damages, s'ayiog they have suffered heavy loss, and will push the case against the city's representative. A special meeting of the Board of Di rectors of tbe company was held yesterday afternoon iu the office of James Wightman, the glass manufacturer, on Wood street, and who is also one of the two heavy stock holders of the road. Mr. J. M. Hoeh, the former well-known tobacconist, and a di rector of the company, went to the meeting with tbe understanding that something; would be done abont suing Chief Bigelow. Beyond a discussion of the latter's action by individual members of the besrd, nothing was done. rEEPAEISO FOE ACTIOJT. As soon as the attorneys have outlined a plan of action, another meeting of the board will be called. Tbe solicitors of the road are Messrs. Knox & Reed, who some weeks ago assured the officials that Chief Bigelow would not tear up the tracks. If he did, they said it would cost him something. Mr. Hoeh was seen after the meeting, and when asked what the directors proposed to do, said: "I went to the meetfng expecting that some action would be taken, and was dis appointed. Blr. Bigelow bis ruined the) road, and we will see if he can destroy our property without paying for it. He said the tracks on Joncaire street were a nui sance. I would like to know if there is a railroad in the citv that is not a nuisance to somebody. While a few people may suffer a slight inconvenience, thousands are bene fited, and I do not think our road was mora of a nuisance than any other. We have a good case against the people who tore up the track, and they will probably suffer. "For some time past I bad a suspicion that an attempt wonld be m.-.de to tear np the tracks, and communicated my fears to our attorneys. The fatter said Chief Bigelow knew the law too well to attempt to take up the tracks; but law or no law he has done so. The work was started last Monday week after 4 o'clock, which was after the courts had closed for tbe day, and we could not get ont an injunction against them. Alter tha work had been stopped and I went home thinking nothing more would be done, Mr. McKnight comes back after dark with 50 or 60 men and proceeds to pnll up tha tracks. If tbe action was legal why was it not done during the day? I do not see why it wa3 necessary to tear the road up under cover ot night and pay men double wages for working at night PEETEJJTED A SALE. "The action of Chief Bigelow was the means of causing a deal by which the road could be finished to be canceled. For soma time things have been at a standstill, tha truth oi the matter being that we could not get the money to finish the road. The work of construction so far cost 50,200, and soma of the stockholders did not want to put up any more money. Several weeksgo Charles R. Dallas, Secretary of Moorhead, McCIeana & Co., came to us and said he bad a party to take the road off our hands and finish it Abont three-quarters of the road was built and there was little to oe done. Abe chances are we would have been able to put the road in such shape tbat it would be hnished when Mr. BL'elow stepped in. Tbe people who intended to purchase the road called tha deal off, and, as a result, we have suffered damages. "The same thing occurred; when wa were enjoined from going through Schenley Park. We were ready to put out 550,000 worth of bonds to get enough money to fin ish the road, when the injunction against us was asked for. Archibald Hutchinson. Mr. Sneathen and tbe Fidelity Title ana Trust Company were to buy the bonds. Wnen we were hauled up in court, the peo ple who said they would take the bonds re fused to do so, and they are now not worth 40 cents on the dollar. The city ordinance giving us tbe right of way calls for the com pletion of the road sometime next month. If tbat injunction had not been asked for, we would have the road in operation and the cars would be running now. We had permission to go through the park from Mr. Torrance, the agent of tbe Schenley estate, and he certainly had authority to grant tha permission. The road has been twice in jured by Mr. Bigelow, and I think he should be made pay for the trouble be caused. ACTINQ TJNDEE KTSTEUCTIOiTS. "Mr. McKnight says he acted under in structions from Mr. Bigelow. The law does not excuse criminal actions on such gronnds, and Mr. MrKnigbt will be held to account for his own doings. As soon as onr attor neys decide what we shall do the board of directors will take action." Chief Bigelow, when seen last evening, said: "I do not think they will enter any suits. The road was torn up because it was a nuisance to the people driving along Jon caire street to Schenley Park. At one point along the street it was dangerous, and wa needed a safe driveway into the park on July 4. If a team of horses fell over tha bill on account of the almost impassable condition of Joncaire street the city would probably have to figure as defendant iu a suit for damages. If the suits are entered I do not think I will lose any sleep over it" Superintendent McKnight said he was acting under ordeis from Chief Bigelow and tore up the tracks according to instruc tions. The rails and ties were not de stroyed, bnt carefully plied up where the owners could get tha property. i 7 i N m
