In the Argentine Republic Because of the

L1DI DU5L0 THE HEROINE OFTHE HODE
Gladstone has entered a protest against
the appointment ot a minister to the Vatican.
It is charged that Salisbury is endeavoring
to secure the control of the Irish Bishops.
England will not attempt any action in
South America because of the attitude of
- the United States upon the Monroe doctrine.
Great preparations are being made for the
visit of the German monarch.
1ST CABLE TO THE DIBFATCH.1
London, August Z Copyrighted.
Mr. Gladstone's versatility, -which is the
admiration alike of friends and foes, has
been exhibited this week in a manner
which has maddened the Tories, while not
altogether pleasing to those Liberals who
never seem to realize that, despite his splen
did service to the cause of freedom and
progress the whole world over, the Grand
Old Man is in some respects conservative in
politics and ultra-Protestant in religions
faith.
The trouble has been caused by the publi
cation of an official account of the mission
to Borne entrnsted to Sir John Lintorn Sim
mons for the purpose of settling with the
Pope certain disputed questions of jurisdic
tion in Malta.
A MISTAKES' IMPRESSION.
Although Sir John was duly described in
the Official Gazette at the time of His ap
pointment as Her Majesty's Envoy Extra
ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary most
people had remained under the impression
that his mission to the Vatican was confi
dential and unofficial in character, similar
' in fact to that carried ont by Sir George
"Ellington, who was sent to Some by Mr.
Gladstone six or seven years ago.
The blue book now published has been a
rude awakening to many thousands of sim
ple folk, who find that Simmons was a duly
accredited minister to the Papal court, and
"sxerci;ed the usual diplomatic functions.
He arrived at an agreement with the Vati
can, which is now being fiercely assailed by
Jiltra-T iry Protestants, free-thinking Radi
cals and moderate Liberals.
A PECULIAR. DEAL IN MALTA.
Lord Salisbury is accused of substituting
In Malta the canoa law for the law of the
Queen, of allowing the Tope to decide the
validity of marriages, religious or secular,
of British subjects, and of conceding to such
a decision a retrospective effect, thus em
powering a foreign prelate to illegitimize
children heretofore legitimate, but above all,
and this in Liberal eyes is the crowning
infamy, a provision has been indirectly
made by which at some future time the
Pope shall appoint to Bishoprics within the
British Empire only nominees of the Brit
ish Government.
The last named scheme is of course in
tended primarily for use in Ireland for the
purpose of making the Boman Catholic
hierarchy obedient servants to the powers
that be. Mr. Gladstone made a great
speech at the National Liberal Club on
"Wednesday night denouncing Simmons'
mission, and its results, and the attack will
be repeated in Parliament next week when
the vote for the foreign office comes up for
Miscussion.
A SECTARIAN WAR POSSIBLE.
Some Liberals doubt their leader's
wisdom in taking this course, fearing that it
may have the effect of fanning the latent
fire of sectarian bigotry, but a great consti
tutional question is involved and must be
raised, and Gladstone may be trusted to
handle the difficult matter discreetly and in
a statesmanlike manner.
The Tories have endeavored to make out
that Errington's mission was on all fours
with that of Simons, but their efforts to con
vict the Grand Old Man of inconsistency
have so far resulted in an amusing failure.
Mr. Gladstone is a master of verbal jugglery
.when he likes and past master in the art of
definitions.
Americans can decide for themselves to
which category the following explanation
given by Gladstone in the House of Com
mons lastnight rightly belongs. "Sir George
Errington bore no diplomatic character
whatever, bnt be undoubtedly conveyed and
received information. His mission was not
such a mission as to taking advantage of
Sir George Errington's residence in Borne to
correspond with the Foreign Office and to
make known his views."
HE WILL PBOVE IT.
The Tories yelled derisively when Mr.
Gladstone, sonorous and dignified, finished
his explanation. They will probably begin
to appreciate the argument when next week,
as I am informed, the Grand Old Man will
prove from the Government's own "Annual
Foreign Office List" that the only Ministers
ever accredited to the Vatican have been so
appointed by Lord Salisbury, viz.: The
Duke of Norfolk, who was sent in 1887, and
Simmons in 1889.
The Duke, as far as the world was per
mitted to know, although given fall diplo
matic rank and power, merely conveyed
, Queen Victoria'!, congratulations to the Pope
on his jubilee, but there has always been 'a
suspicion that he brought about the Pope's
interference in Irish affairs, and Simmons'
' mission was the price paid for His Holiness'
; ' complaisance.
I Of their scanty legislative store the Gov
ernment have this week dropped more bills,
; but we are yet weeks removed from the end
of the session.

A ROYAL WEDDING.
MARRIAGE OF THE ARCHDUCHESS
ERIE A LOVE MATCH.
VAL.
Military Pomp Dispensed With and tbe
Ceremony Conducted With All Possible
Simplicity Tub Parent of tho Bride
Greatly Aflected The Toilets.
IBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.!
London, Augusts. One of the prettiest
and least ceremonious of royal weddings
which Europe has witnessed for many years
took place at Ischl on Thursday morning,
when Archduchess Valerie, the beautiful
and beloved daughter of the Austrian , Em
peror and Empress, was married to the young
Archduke Francis Salvator, of Tuscany.
The union was purely a loye affair, and ere
it could be permitted the bride had solemnly
to renounce all right in succession to the
Austrian crown. Military pomp was dis
pensed with, which in Austria was alone
sufficient to make the wedding remarkable
throughout, and the path from the royal
villa to the chureh was lined by hundreds
of little girls clad in white and flowered
dresses, who, in lieu of weapons, carried
each a basket, whence, rose leaves were
strewn as the bridal parry passed.
Simplicity, however, did not keep royalty
away, for Princes and Princesses in gor
geous raiment were there by the score.
Two trainloads of them left Vienna the pre
vious day, and many of Ischl's leading
citizens had to seek temporary lodging,
while royalty occupied their modest villas.
It had been arranged that the bride should
ride in a historic gala coach adorned with
paintings by Titian, but this was used by
the late Crown Prince Rudolph upon the
occasion of his marriage, and, as at tbe last
moment the widow or that most unnappy
Prince decided to be present, the ordinary
State carriage was used in its stead. The
memory of the royal suicide seemed to
haunt many of the wedding guests. The
Emperor wept more than once, and is re
ported to have exclaimed: "This is my
last pleasure." The Empress bad been
with difficulty induced to don light attire,
and during the day she made frequent tear
lul apologies for the apparent slur upon her
dead son, declaring that she would never
again wear anything but black.
The bride herself scarcely smiled through
out the day,and shed tears freely during and
after the ceremony.and more natnraliy upon
bidding adieu to her parents finally. The
drive to church was made in closed car
riages, and the wedding breakfast is said to
have been almost funereal in its gloom. It
lasted a little over half an hour, and was
held in a public hall, which had been
turned into a floral bower for the
occasion. Seventy-two royalties sat
down to the table and ate their food
off solid gold plate. It remains to
be said that the bride wore at the altar a
white satin robe, covered with superb lace.
A train two yards long was also a mass of
lace. The deep lace volant in front of the
robe lay in folds and was adorned, as were
also tightly puffed sleeves, the waist and
train with myrtle and orange blossoms. Her
going away dress was of dark blue braided
serge. The Empress wore pearl gray silk,
embroidered with silver and shaded gray
silks.
The young couple are spending the early
part of the honevmoou at a secluded hunt
ing chateau at Offensee, not far from Ischl,
and their personal suite at present consists
only of one lady's maid and one valet.
TURKISH PRISON HOEEOES.
Some of tbe Atrocities Dlscorered by a
ronrfon Newspaper Correapondent.
CUT CABLX TO THE D1SFATCH.1
London, August 2. The Daily Newt re
cently sent a special correspondent to in
quire into the condition of the Macedonia
province, which Greece hopes to obtain after
the next war in which Turkey may be en
gaged. The correspondent, in the guise of
an antiquarian, gained admission to the
prisons and discover ed many unpleasant
things, but wisely waited till he was out of
thecountry before publishing anythingjabout
them. At TJskub this inquisitive gentle
man found a prison containing 149 cells and
1,811 prisoners, and seems surprised that 15
to 20 unhappy captives should be crowded
into one cell only two and a half yards
square, and horrified that very few prison
ers lived to serve their sentences in full.
He is also indignant that prisoners should
be tortured by being stripped, tied to a stake
and bitten by ants placed on the naked
body, but as Turks often say, European
Christians are too fastidious in these mat
ters and too apt to interfere in people's busi
ness. The Sultan, who is once more the
most worried monarch in the old world, will
probably be asked to build new prisons in
Macedonia or to clean and Improve the ex
isting buildings, but he has money neither

BABE KOI INTERFERE.
England and Fraace Must Respect
the
Monroe Doctrine in Argentine.
IBT CABLX TO TUX DISrATCH. J
London, August 2. Some mendacious
Parisian journalists who apparently have
never heard ot the United States or of the
Monroe doctrine, set a story circulating yes
terday abont an Anglo-French agreement to
interfere in Argentine affairs by sending
fleets to Buenos Ayres and landing troops
there. There never was the slightest founda
tion for the story, which on appearance was
promptly and authoritatively denounced as
a pure fabrication. Something like 200,
000,000 sterling is the estimated aggre
gate of British investments in
the Argentine Bepublie, and the present
estimated value thereof is about 150,000,000,
but the British Government is perfectly
well aware that European interference
wonld neither increase the security or add
to the value of these huge investments and
Argentine will be permitted to wort out its
own destiny.
A belief is strongly entertained here,
among politicians and capitalists alike,
that the country will drift into civil war
and possibly into anarchy unless President
Celman shall speedily retire or be quickly
deposed.

tBY CABLX TO TOT DISPATCH.
London, August 2. Kaiser "Wilhelm
arrived at Ostend this afternoon and was
received by the King or the Belgians and
the Crown Prince, who were accompanied
by all the Ministers. The Belgian army
sent its finest regiment to act as the mili
tary monarch's guard of honor and he was
escorted to King Leopold's marine chalet
by a squadron of cavalry not unworthy of
Potsdam.
If the Kaiser expected a popular ovation
he was. wofnlly mistaken. The weather
was superb, but the town was not decorated,
the crowds in the streets were small, and
there was not even a pretense of enthusiasm.
At several points along the route, in fact,
people hooted and hissed vigorously, and
the surprised Kaiser looked black as night
until informed the demonstration was in
tended for the unpopular Ministers, Beer
naert and Devolder, who rode in a carriage
close behind the royal party. At 2 o'clock
the Kaiser lunched with his host, the Count
of Flanders and Prince Bandoiu. This
evening he is dining with the King and
probably talking over African matters, and
later on there is to be a tattoo of 12 military
bands and a torchlight procession.
To-morrow afternoon be starts aboard the
yacht Hohenzollern for the Isleof "Wight, off
which he will arrive about noon on Mon
day, amid a mighty salute from forts and
ironclads, which it is estimated will cost
the British taxpayers about 500 for gun
powder. He will land at the little town'of
Cowes, the headquarters of British yatcht
men. The Prince of "Wales and other mem
bers oi the uruisti .ttoyal a amily, not in
cluding the Battenbergs, however, will
welcome him at the landing stage, and on
driving to Osborne House be will find
Queen Victoria waiting at the front door to
receive him, an arrangement rendered nec
essary by court rules and the royal lady's
rheumatism.
Cowes, which has been decorated to order,
will be signally honored, for a great state
banquet in honor of the imperial visitor is
to take place in its Town Hall, because
there is not a room large enough for the
Eur pose in Osborne House. The dinner,
owever, will be cooked by the Queen's
chefs and served on gold plate specially
brought from "Windsor Castle. A strong
force of police has been told off to guard
the precious things, and detectives swarm
the place.

LONDON, August 2. Lady Dunlo having
issued triumphant roni the divorce court,
is the heroine of the hour in impolite so
ciety. On the evening of the day the suit
was decided she attended the two music
halls where her sister Flo was billed, and
sitting prominently in a stage box, was
cheered most enthusiastically on both occa

George Lewis informs me that nothing has
yet been done to provide for Lady Bunlo by
her noble father-in-law, "Earl Clancarty, and
that she is compelled to earn her living on
tbe stage. She is much delighted with the
notoriety she has obtained, and has publicly
expressed her opinion that Sir James Han

on tbe English bench, before whom Lord
Dunlo's suit was tried, is a dear old chap.

The Postal Card Population of a Sumter Penn
sylrania Towns, '
Many curious replies have been secured
by that department of the census which is
investigating mortgages. The reasons given
for the contraction of the debt are, both
various and novel The first count of a
number of towns in this vicinity has been
completed.
ITKOM X BTATT COBSXSF01TDX3T.1
"Washington, August Z The ( Census
Office has made a count of a few of the towns
in the Tenth Pennsylvania district from the
postal card returns of the enumerators The
figures thus obtained are not to be taken as
the official figures, but tbe final result will
not vary very greatly from those here given.
If anvthing'thev will be larger, for the rea
son that a postal card may have" been lost
dnring transmission through the mails or
from some other similar cause.
According to this count the city of 'Mc
Keesport has made a very gratifying in
crease in her population. There are-now
accredited to it 20,452 people, while i a I860
it had only 8,212, showing a gain of 12,140,
or about 140 per cent. To this tbe Census
Office people usually add 5 percent to make
up for missing returns, so that McKees
port's population is estimated at 21,4G2.
OTHER PENNSYLVANIATOWNS.
By this same count Oil City is given a
popnlationof 10,974, a gain of r3, 659 above
the returns of ten years -ago, when there
were only 7,315 people there. It may be
added here that steps are being taken to ex
tend the free postal delivery system in Oil
City.
In the case of New Castle the postal cards
give a result of 13,380 -people as against
8,418 in 1880, which means an increase of
5,522, or more than 50 per cent in the ten
years. The, town of Erie does not show up
so well. Her population is given as 31,803,
according to this count In 1880 it was
27,737, so that her gains have been 4,066.
The official count will add slightly to this.
Youngstown, O., has done wonderfully
well, having more than doubled Its popula
tion during the de.cade. In 1880 it had
15,435 inhabitants, and now it is credited
with 34,372, an increase of 18,937, or about
120 percent. Although these figures are
not exact, they are sufficiently so to give an
idea of the manner in which' Western Penn
sylvania and Eastern Ohio are rapidly in
creasing in importance and in population.
Incidentally to nothing in particular it
may be stated that It has been ascertained
that.thcre are 18,166 Chinese residents in
San' Francisco.
THE MORTGAGE INDEBTEDNESS.
For months past a large force o-jpeciaL.
George K. Holmes, has been engaged in
taking from the records of counties and
cities the recorded mortgages of private
individuals and corporations. The names
of the mortgagers and their addresses are
obtained only, however, in certain counties
throughout the country, where the inquiry
will be made complete.
Then letters are addressed to those per
sons, asking the following questions: ''Was
this mortgage fully paid January 1, 1890?
If not fully paid, how much was due upon
the principal January 1, 1890? Was this
mortgage made to secure part of purchase
money, to make improvements, or for what
other purpose; or, if made to renew a pre
vious mortgage, what was the debt origin
ally created for?
In cases where no answers are received
special agents will be sent out to obtain the
information by calling upon the persons. Of
course, this method will not be followed in
every county in every State. That would
involve not only a large expenditure of
money but also occupy a long period of
time.
A BASIS FOB ESTIMATES.
This detailed inquiry will, therefore,
be confined to 107 counties, which are scat
tered throughout the country, and the con
ditions as ascertained then will form a
broad basis upon which the entire mass of
statistics can rest. Every day Mr. Holmes
receives replies to his circulars, and the cor
respondence gives some curious glimpses of
human nature, as well as of life fn tbe dif
ferent sections of the country.
One man states that his friend shot a
negro, and the mortgage was incurred in
raising the money to bail him ont of jail
and for lawyers' fees. Another one writes:
"Borrowed money for general use on account
of failure in crops, and I reckon," he adds,
with Southern naiveness, "you'll think I
am a d d bad manager, but there are plenty
more in the same fix. Misery loves com
pany." A very large and ample explanation
seems to be that offered, by the man who
wrote that he had a mortgage of $400 put on
his house to pay debts contracted in raising
a family of 10 children. In the exuberance
of his joy that he was able to report no
mortgage, one man writes: "All settled,
God bless your good soul."
A TABIFP KICKER.
A "Western farmer groaning under a mort
gage ot 51,800 relieves his mind by writing
inaimeqeotwas contracted lor "tbe purpose
of enabling me to pay tariff on the things I
have to buy and to make up lor the losses I
sustained by reason of non-exportation of
the things I nave to sell."
In California a Chinaman was found who
had given a fellow countryman a mortgage
on his property of ?200, agreeing to pay in
terest at the rate ol 60 per cent.
An aspiring politician in the "West risked
100 on his political success. He con
lesses to the Census Office that it
was to pay expenses of election.
At tbe close, however, he writes
the word "busted," which indicates that he
lost the election as well as the money. In
attempting to explain that his mortgage of
nearly 85,000 was a renewal of an old one, a
"Western larmerdoes not refrain from adding:
'"Give us free coinage of silver, enlarge our
circulating medium and we can pav our
debts."
A BEBUKE TO CUBIOSIir.
One man confesses that he bad paid the
mortgage and that he has the releate in his
safe, wh,ere he intends to retain it, so that
tbe curiosity of his neighbor will not be
gratified by knowing that he paid it. An
other man justifies his going into debt by
explaining that the money raised by the
mortgage, amounting to $110, was "to make
home pleasant by purchasing an organ to
keep my boy at home, which proved a suc
cess, for which I am proud,"
A pathetic case of extreme poverty is in
dicated by a mortgage recorded in a South
western State amounting to $14. The in
debtness has been on record about five years,
and during that period the debtor had
managed to pay only about $6. The person
giving the mortgage was a widow, and she
states that she used the money to pay 'the
funeral expenses ot her husband.
An ante-bellum debt is accounted for by
a man who states that the money was used
to pay for negroes purchased" by his father
before ths-war. Perhaps the most remark
able explanation was given by a man who
AUGUST 3, 1890.
stated that he was obliged to borrow the
money to pay the damages in a suit brought
against him for alienating the affections of
another man's wife. He couldn't refrain
from adding the triumphant words: "I
have her."
CE?PECCErAR''8EAS0NS.
Domestic infelicity' is given as the cause
of another man's misfortune. He states
that he raised the money to pay the ex
penses in a divorce snit, by which he got
rid ot an unfaithful wife. One of the cor
respondents terselv explains that his mort
gage of $140 was incurred in the attempt to
pay for two sets of false teeth.
This inquiry is independent of the special
inquiry which Mr. Holmes will make and
which is known as the farm and home in
vestigation. This will be based upon the
census schedules, but will only include
farms and homes occupied by the owners,
which are mortgaged. It is supposed that
there are from 3,000,000 to CjOOO.OOO persons
in this country who will be included in this
inquiry.
An effort will be made in accordance with
the act of Congress to ascertain certain
how much of the mortgage was unpaid
June 1, the value of the farm or bouse, the
rate of interest, and tbe object for which the
indebtedness was incurred. The results of
this investigation will be looked forward to
with great interest by labor organizations,
single tax advocates, the farmers, and by
every one interested in social problems.

STEEL RAIL TARIFF.
ONE OF THE SUBJECTS OF DEBATE IN
THE SENATE.
Southern Assertions as to tbe Labor Coat
Speedily Repelled by Northern Mrmbers
Two Republicans Vote With tho Dem
ocrats on an Amendment.
, 'Washington, August Z In the Senate
to-day Mr. Piatt repelled and denounced an
assertion made by Mr. George to the effect
that while the duty on steel rails wss $11 a
ton the labor in producing the article cost
only $1 54. He supposed that the Sena
tor believed what lie said, though
no school boy would believe it. But tbe
fact was that if the production of a ton of
steel rails cost $24, the labor portion of that
cost was not only $1 54, but ten times that
amount. Mr. Hewitt had put his foot on
that misrepresentation in the House of Rep
resentatives iu a way that ought to be re
membered by Democratic Senators.
.Mr. Hawley ridiculed tbe solemnity with
which Mr. George had intimated that the
people at the North were living over a vol
cano, and said that if he would make such"
a speech in New England be wonld be con
sidered as supplementing a negro minstrel
company for the amusement of his hearers.
Mr. Jones, of Arkansas, supported Mr.
.George's statement abont steel rails. He
also spoke on the chinaware matter, apropos
of which, and of the question of trusts, he
read from to-day's papers a report from
Findlay, O., as to the purchase by an
English syndicate ot various glass works in
Findlay, Bellaire, Columbus, Fostoria, and
other towns; and be said that the effect of
tariff legislation was to encourage such
trusts and. syndicates.
Mr. Eeagan, in discussing the general
question of protection, spoke of the organi

men's associations, that were protesting
against class legislation and plundering

DR. WALKER WANTS $10,000.
Tbe War Services Which She Now Asks
Congress to Pay For.
rSrXCIAL TXLIGBAK TO TBB DI8PATCH.I
"Washington, August 2. On July 24
Senator Evarts introduced a bill for the
relief of Dr. Mary E. "Walker. The records
of tbe "War Department do not go far toward
substantiating her claim for $10,000. They
state that she was professionally examined
and nominally commissioned as an acting
assistant surgeon. She was assigned to duty
as nominal acting assistant surgeon with
the Fifty-second Ohio Infantry, then in tbe
front, so that she might have a chance to go
through the lines and get information of the
enemy. Her intrepidity is well known to
the Army of tbe Cumberland. Her self
assigned duty as a sout compelled her to
masquerade for the first time in men's attire.
In that dress she was captured, but the dis
covery of her sex saved her from "being
hanged as a spy.
She was sent to Richmond and while im
prisoned she endured all the hardships of
the other prisoners. She was sent north in
August, 1861, and soon afterward was
placed in cnarge ot tbe female prison
at Louisville. She now draws a pcraion
of $20 a month. She is almost blind
and is obliged to use most powerful
glasses to see. Added to that infirmity, she
has lately broken her leg, and is suffering
much pain. It is doubtful whether Con
gress will give the sum she asks, although
it has been approved by the "War Claims
Committee of the House" four times. She
did, lor a woman, perform excellent service,
and there are many claims on tbe calendars
of both honses that are less meritorious than
Dr. Mary "Walker's.
BLAIR'S MOTION LAID TO REST.
The Republicans Not Ready to Consider the
Question Jast Yet.
II-K01I A STATF COEBESrOXDEKT.
"Washington, August 2. It seems that
Mr. Blair introduced his resolution instruct
ing tbe Committee on Rules to report a rule
providing for the calling of the previous
question without consulting with his Re
publican colleagues, and it gave them some
thing of a shock to have tbe question thrust
upon them thus suddenly when they were not
prepared to deal with it as they would like
to. However the matter may end, the
Republican leaders in the Senate have not
as yet succeeded in getting the approval of
all the Senators on their side to the proposi
tion for the previous question. Their
policy is to say as little as possible on this
subject at present, and to await develop
ments. Therefore the motion of Mr. Blair was a
surprise to his colleagues, and they did not
breathe easy until they had the resolution
safely in the hands of the Committee on
Rules. They feared that a discussion might
be provoked which would last for a month
or more, and that whatever weakness
there is in the party line would
be disclosed. Tbe pressure from the
House and from the outside is something
tremendous, however, and it is probable the
sticklers for precedent will be brought to a
sense of what is more important than any
precedent, and that is to get into a condition
in which they can do business and atop
talking.
Robbed of 340,000.
St. Louis, August 2. J. L. Mayer, who
lives at 1B23 "Washington avenue, had
stolen from bis room last uight $40,000
worth of raining stocks and a small amount
of cash. Negotiations on the stocks w ill be

A FIGHTING CHANCE
Even Now to Again Delay the Execu
tion of Murderer Kemmleri .
POSSIBLE PLEA OP INSANITY.
The
Prisoner Has Been Acting Very
Strangely for Some Time Fast.
Aff INJUNCTION MAI BE OBTAINED
By the WesUnchonse People Against the Use of
Xhcir Apparatus.
There are still a great many persons who
do not believe Kemmler will be executed by
electricity this week, It is hinted that a
plea of insanity may be entered as a last re
sort. Others assert that an appeal will be
made to the courts to prevent the use of the
dynamo for such a purpose.
rsrCCTAL TZLZQBAM TO TBB SISFATCO.I
Aubtjen, Aueust 2. The coming exe
cution of Kemmler by electricity at the
State prison here, is the one thing
talked about in Aubnfn now. Auburn
people however, have a strange but very
positive conviction that Kemmler will not
be executed after all. Although every ap
parent legal resource has been exhausted
in his behalf, and although the courts of
last resort have decided against him over
and over again, people here seem to think
that the powerful interests which bave be
friended Kemmler thus far will yet find
some ingenious pretext on which to save
him.
There is a very common belief in Auburn
that the "Westinghouse Company will en
deavor to get au injunction enjoining
"Warden, Durston from using at Kemmler's
execution the electrical dynamo which, it is
alleged, was procured by Harold P. Brown
for the State under false pretenses. There
are lawyers who believe that such an in
junction might be secured, but the weight
of legal opinion is against this.
THE PBISONEE'S SANITY.
There is more serious danger of delay in
the execution because of an application
.which may be made for a commission to in
quire into Kemmler's sanity. The unques
tionable fact of Kemmler's weak and fright
ened condition has caused talk to spring up
in Auburn that he has really been fright
ened into insanity. ,
A Dispatch reporter has made a pretty
thorough investigation on this point, and he
is convinced that there is really no strong
basis lor the insanity theory. Still there is
no doubt that of late Kemmler has been
acting strangely. He has had long periods
of silence, never saying a word. Then he
has talked volubly and in an odd manner.
He has not slept well and has muttered and
mumbled in his sleep.
Recently he has had bad dreams and
"visions. While he may only be sham
ming and may not be crazy, even if he is
pot shamming there is no doubt but that he
is in a bad way, and it would not be sur
prising if he really did go crazy before be
was killed. Ot.eourse.if Kemmler's friends
should go into court . with afEdavitsSietting
forth that he was insane, most judges would
feel called upon to appoint a commission to
inquire into his sanity.
A POSSIBLE DELAY.
That would mean another long delay.
One man who ia about as scared as
Kemmler ii "Warden Durston. The War
den is afraid that the electrical current to
be produced at the execution will be either
too' strong or not strong enough. He is
afraid that Kemmler may make a struggle
when the time comes to kill him. He is
afraid that something dreadful will happen,
anyway.
It is a fact that the recent tests which
Electrician Barnes made of the death ap
paratus showed that tbe apparatus was not
in the most satisfactory order. The lights
of the incandescent lamps, by means of
which the strength of tbe currant was shown,
flickered and wobbled and did not "show
up" well at all. The volt meter was, in
fact, found to be out of order, and "Warden
Durston had to pack off to New York to get
it fixed.
The "Warden was very sorry that Chap
lean, tbe murderer, who was to bave been
executed at Dannemora, was not killed be
fore Kemmler was. The "Warden carried
his death chair and other apparatus to the
Dannemora prison and hustled around there
with great cheerfulness, putting the ma
chine np. It was a great blow to him when
Chapleau was pardoned.
MISTAKEN SENTIMENT.
A great deal of maudlin sentimentality
has been experienced over the conduct of
Mrs. Durston in the Kemmler business.
Kemmler's "conversion, etc.," have been
ascribed entirely to Mrs. Durston's efforts.
As a matter of fact Mrs. Durston has seen
Kemmler twice only since he was last sen
tenced. She has not taken much interest in
him, and her ministrations to him bave not
been such at any time as to require any
especial comment.
A dispatch from Rochester, N. Y., says:
C. R. Barnes, of this city, Superintendent
of the Fire Alarm, will have charge of the
execution of Kemmler at Anburn prison.
That is, he will superintend the electrical
machinery and see that the proper connec
tions are made. He said to-night that tbe
Attorney General has advised "Warden
Durston that in case the "Westinghouse
people enjoin him from using their dynamo
in the execution of Kemmler he should give
bonds and go on and use the dynamo.
The visitors who are to be present at the
execution will be invited to appear at the
prison on Tuesday morning, but it is not
positively known that the execution will
take place that day. The operation of turn
ing on the fatal current will simply consist
of a quick movement of a lever the quicker
the better and the current is to remain
closed only an instant.
(NOT THE EXECUTIONER.
Superintendent Barnes said: "I see it is
stated iu the papers in a dispatch from
Auburn that I am to cinse the switch which
sends the current to the chair in which
Kemmler is to be executed. Tnat is not so.
My duty is to regulate the current at one
switch. Another person will close a second
switch which will send the current which I
have regulated to the chair."
Mr. Barnes said lurtherthat the arrange
ments made lor the execution are verv
rigid. No newspapermen will be admitted,
except the reporters of the two press
associations. "Warden Durston has every
detail complete. Mr. Barnes was at Auburn
to-day, and. saw that all the electrical
appliances were in shape. -
"I hope," said he, "that the "Westing
house people will secure an injunction and
prevent the execution from taking place.
I am sick of the whole business. The
Westinghouse Company has spent thou
sands of dollars in fighting this execution,
any still has a fighting chance.

Chicago, August ft Chicago has swelt

this summer, but the heat to-day eclipsed
anything experienced here since the flames
of the big fire swept over the city. The
heat of one month ago, when nearly 1,000
people were prostrated, did not compare
with the fiendish glare of the sun to-day.
From, the seventies the mercury crawled up
to 94'Jathenta 96, and finally to 99.

On "Warren avenue the sun beatSe-Wwso
fiercely that too painters fell from the scaf
folding upon which they were working and
were picked up in a dying condition. They
were taken to a hospital. Not since
the memorable Sunday of three years
ago, when 100 people were killed
by the sun, have the streets been
as deserted at they were to-day. It was
courting death to walk a half dozen blocks.
"Where there was no shade and where the
reflected heat reached its maximum- big
thermometers registered 118. Casualties
resulting from such terrific neat are being
reported every moment. Men and horses
were prostrated in all parts of tbe city. A
German, known only as "Joe," and Joseph
Rudkosski were prostrated on the North
side. Neither can live through the night.
At 9 o'clock to-night it was estimated
that GO people had been sunstruck during
the day. Thirty or these will die. The
mortality among horses was appalling.
They fell everywhere, and the dead carts of
the Health Department was kept running
all day in order to drag the carcasses from
the streets and alleys. Many dead horses
still remain where they fell. The heat to
night is unbearable. Thousands of people
are sleeping out of doors in a furnace breeze
which is still blowing from the prairies in

DIED OP A BE0KEH HEART.
Colonel BrldKelnnd Believed That Harrison
Owed mm Home Recognition.
tSPECIAL TXXIQBAlI TO TBS PISFATCIZ.1
Indianapolis, August 2. A promi
nent Republican says to-night that Colonel
Bridgeland, late Consul to Havre, died of a
broken heart, resulting from his treatment
by President Harrison.
"A few months ago I had a long confi
dential talk with Colonel Bridgeland.
He said: 1 have been a Harrison
supporter for years. When the campaign
opened which closed with Harrison's elec
tion to the Presidency I gave the first
$1,000 to the fund which was raised. At
the convention in Chicago I worked night
and day lor Harrison until he was nomi
nated, and from that day until the election
I worked for him tirelessly. My friends
thought 1 was entitled to some recognition
from the administration, and, more because
of their wishes than my own, I asked to be
ma'de Consul General at Paris. 1 was put off,
and finally the place was given to another
man. Then I asked for my old place as
Consul at Havre; that, too, was relused me.
One day I went to the White House and
had a talk with the President, and he told
me he had nolhinc for me. I was astounded
and came away, though I told him before
leaving that I'wished him well." As Colo
nel Brigeland finished his recital his eyes
overflowed with tears.
THE HARRISONS AT CRESS0N.
Expected to Arrlre Next Week Plenty of
Bedrooms There.
Cbesson Springs, Pa., August 2.
President Harrison's sojourn at Cresson dur
ing the greater part of tbe months of August
and September is now a fixed f.ict. The
Presidental household will leave their Cape
May Point cottage about the 15th instant
and take np their residence for the balance
of the summer in theij beautiful mountain
home and the President himself it is ex
pected, will follow within a week.
Because of the excellent facilities of com
munication existing between Cresson and
"Washington the President will practically
transfer his office to his cottage here, only
going to "Washington as tbe exigencies of
public business require. The Parke cot
tage, which President Harrison rented some
time ago from Mrs. Parke, of Pittsburg,
has been thoroughly overhauled and
is now ready for occupancy.
A grove of splendid trees
give a grateful shade to the broad veranda
and flowers bloom on the sloping lawn. It
contains six bed chambers beside servants'
rooms, a reception room, spacious dining
apartments and a cozy stndy for tbe master.
The wife and daughter of Private Secre
tary Hal ford have been here for the past few

TBE MEETING WAS DECIDEDLY LITELT,
But the Friends of the Major Were Larcely the lint
i Numerous.
Two of the counties in Major McDowell's
district have now repudiated his nomina
tion and two have ratified it. Lawrence
county yesterday decided, after a lively
meeting, to support the regular ticket, A
committee of investigation will be ap
pointed, however.
ISrEClAI. TXLEOKAK TO TITS DISPATCH. 1
New Castle, August 2. The warmest
political meeting ever held in Lawrence
county took place this afternoon, when the
.Republican County Committee met. The
talk of bribery indulged in by every faction
in the ranks brought out all of the promi
nent men in the county. The meeting was
called to order at 2 o'clock by Chairman E.
I. Phillips, a nephew of T. "W. Phillips,
thej;reat oil king. He stated the object of
the meeting to be to elect a County Chair
man, to name a day for the Republican
primaries, to nominate a candidate for
Associate Judge, to form an organization
and to attend to general business.
B. "W. Cunningham, of "Wayne township,
was elected County Chairman, against J. A.
Gardner, Esq., a member of Battery B, and
the choice ot the people opposed to McDow
ell. He received 8 votes against 16. This
was a decided victory for the Major, and
nearly showed the strength of his opponents.
m'dowell's foeces vs costrol.
The next contest was the election of a
County Secretary, and D. Keast and J. F.
Liken were the candidates. Again the ma
jority rolled up for McDowell, and Liken,
who was a recognized McDowell man,
caught on by a vote of 14 to 13, and was
elected. H. "W. Griggsby, of Shenango
township, presented the following resolu
tions, which were adopted, alter a long and
hen ted discussion:
Whereas, Statements haveanpeared in tho
newspapers charging that the nomination of
Major Alexander McDowell, as tbe Republican
candidate for Comrress of this district, was ob
tained by the bribery of one or more of tho
delegates representing Beaver county In the
convention, and
Whereas. We have faith and confidence la
the honesty and integrity of Major McDowell,
and will not believe without some reasonable
proof that he used or employed corrupt prac
tices in obtaining votes; and
Whereas, These charges of fraud are i
that we deem It tbe duty of the Repubii
party, is well as the duty of Major McDon
oar nominee for Congress, to have invest! gi
and reported all tbe facts concerning them,
that tbe whole truth may be known; thereto
bolt
Resolved, That we hereby express onr disaj
proval and abhorrence of tbe corrupt use o
money on the promise of office or place t
secure nominations or elections, and if Majoi
McDowell shall be found to be directly or indi
rectly implicated in such practices, that we
wonld consider It abundant reason for with
holding from him our support.
THET DEMAND THE PROOFS.
Resolved, That wo believe that justice and
fairness to Major McDowell, as well as to the
people of this district, requires that at least
reasonable proof be shown against him before
he Is treated as gnilty.
Resolved, That the Chairman of this commit
tee be authorized and directed to appoint a
committee of three Republicans to act with
similar committees of tbe counties of this dis
trict, to Inquire concerning and investigate
the said charge of bribery to ascertain the
facts, and make report to this committee at
future meetings.
Resolved. That wa urge upon the members j
of this committee to be so appointed tbe ira
portance of making their investigation as thot-
ougn ana as prompt as tney reasonaoiy can.
There was another set of resolutions pre-j
sented, not so strong as tbe above, and thai
discussion was very heated. AI Martin,
who had been slated as a candidate for
County Chairman against any McDowell
man, said he had heard that Mr. McDowell
had been nominated by fraud, and if the
resolution adopted went into effect, a Demo
crat wonld be the next Congressman.
HE WAS HISSED HARD
and long. It was purely Major McDowell's
meeting, and any one who had views con
trary to his 'friends had little chance for ap
plause. Major McDowell was present, but tbe
committee was so solid for him from tho
first that it was decided it would be useless
to call on him, and he was therefore not
asked to speak.
The resolutions adopted were carried by a
vote of 21 to 9. There are 30 county com
mitteemen. "When the yeas and nays were
called for on tbe resolutions there was not a
sound in the City Council chambers, where
the committee met, but as soon as tbe result
of the vote was announced a mighty shout
went up that was heard all over the city.
Chairman Cunningham has not as yet an
nounced his committee of investigation.
Major McDowell left for his home at Sharon
on an afternoon train, and didn't care to be
interviewed.
A dispatch from Sharon says: Mercer
connty Republicans are jubilant to-night
over the action of tbe Lrwrence county Re
publican committee in indorstog Major Mc
Dowell's nomination. The Major's friends
now predict his election by a handsome ma
jority in November, even if a second candi
date is placed in nomination. They claim
that the Beaver and Butler county commit
tees did not represent the sentiment of the
voters, and that his vote ia those counties
will be much larger than expected.
Mercer's Democratic Candidate.

Mercer, August 2. The Democratia
County Committee met to-day and elected
