Tho Coming Convention at Galion of the Farmers' Alliance. ITS fEOBABLE EFFECT IS OHIO. A Braddock Mill to Manufacture Armor Plates for War Snips. IMPORTANT LIFE INSURANCE SUIT f6rr.CIAI. TELEOHAM TO TEE IllSFATCH.1 Cleveland, Jan. 15 Considerable in terest is being manifested in political circles in Ohio, as well as among the farmers them seWes, regarding the probable action of the farmers' Alliance at its State Convention, to be held at Galion next Tuesday. This arises from the circumstances under which the convention will meet, as well as Iroia the past action of the farmers ot the State. One Tear ago the Alliance declared, in a mild sort of war, in lavor of a protective tariff, and unhesitatingly followed the example of Judjre Lawrence and other Ohio wool grow ers in demanding a higher tariff on wool. At that time the iliance was in its infancy in tbc State, and had, all told, less than 5,000 members, so that a comparatively small majority could swing the body either way. During the year the country has ex perienced the McKiuley Dill and a political revolution of unheard-of magnitude. The Winers bare studied the tariff, and had it talked at them as never before, and It will be interesting to notice how far all this has af fected the attitude of the Alliance in Ohio. The Political Effect of the Decision. The decisions of the Alliance are likely to have a very marked influence on party action During the 12 months the order has had an un precedented growth. There are now over COO sub-Alliances in the State, and the total mem bership is not far short of 30,000. An Increase of over 500 per cent in membership in one year shows an auakeniug among the agriculturists that is very significant. These men hold much more than the balance of power in the State, ana neither party is in a position where it can afford to antagonize them. If. for example, these delegates, representing the farmers ot Ohio, should declare against the McKmley bill and its high protection, it would go farther toward squelching the great boom which the Republican papers ot the State have been gtvinir UcKlnley for Governor next fall than any other one influence could. It is significant that Joshua Crawford, the Secretarv of the State Alliance, has recently said: "We are not ready for separate political action, and will not be until 200,000 farmers are ready to say they will vote anil orK in union," ami he adds: "At the rate we are now growing that time may not be far away." rolitical Action Highly Probable. Tins represent! the feeling of the conserva tive wing of the order in the State, and makes it clear that even if the conservatives continue in control, which is not certain, the order may be expected to begin active participation in politics not later than 1S92, for at the present rate of growth it will uuuibtr 200,000 in Ohio be fore the next Prcsidental election. The uorkinginen of the faute have also ar ranged to hold a State convention in Galion on the same das as the Farmers' Alliance conven tion. It is understood an attempt will be made to unite the conventions so far as public affairs go, and secure the adoption of a harmonious course of political action. It is also etatea that the old Greenbackers will make overtures to the Farmers" Alliance people and attempt to form a union with them. WAS AT TJKIONTOWJT. A Meam and an Electric Itailroad Company at Swords' Points. rrEClAL TELEGBAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1 CxioxTovy. Jan. 15. The Southwest Penn sylvania Itailroad Company and the Union town Electric Street RailnayConipauy clashea together this afternoon over the right of the latter to crous the track of the former with their wires, and for a time it looked as if there -iaa going to be a lively luttie. The Southm est Couipiny has not given the Klectnc Company the right to cross its tracKs, wanting the Elec tric Company beforehand to enter into a bond to protect them m rac of .accident. The i-Iec-tic Company claimed fie right to cross with out the railroad company's consent, and pro ceeded Monday to string its wires across the tracks. About 2 o'clock this afternoon a shifter ran up to the crossing at the western bridge. Two men on board pulled down the trolley wire v. ith a hook and cut it in t o. About the same time another gang came up on the main hue and pulled the wire down at the corner of 31ain street and Broadway. Councilman W. C MiCormick, Superintendent of the Electric Company, immediately placed men to repair ing the wire and stationed police about to pre 1 ent any interruption. Uy this time a big crowd had gathered and the excitement was very warm. The railroad compauj ran in a carload of seotion lianus toj protect their interests. The wire was repaired, and shortly after Ken Way. a Pennsjlvania Itailroad policeman, sprang upon the top of a coach and cut the mro .igain with an ax. As soon as the train jinllcd ou;, the electric linemen spliced the vurc again. It i expected that the wires will e cut again to-night, and it is feared the dis pute may result seriously befote It is settled. SUING FOE LIFE IKSTJEAHCE. The Decision Turns Upon the Question of Suicide or Accident. TTECIAt. TE1.EORAM TO TUS DISPATCH.: Scraston. Jan. 15. A case now being tried in the Lackawanna courts recalls the sensa tional death of Henry AVahlers, a very promi nent hotel man of this city. May 30. 1&S7. 'Wati lers was a man of most sunny temperament and jcnial disposition, who was seemingly prosper ing and who did not appear to have a care in the world One fine spring afternoon, while preparing to attend a picnic, he retired to his bedroom. A few minutes later a dull report was heard, and when the door of his room was thrown open he w as f ound w eltering in blood on the floor, quite dead. A bullet had entered lus mouth and passed out at the crown ot his bead. The revolver lay beside him. A coroner's jury said it was suicide. The widow of Wahlers has always maintained that her husband's death was an accident, and brought suit to recover of theKidelitvand asualty Company, of New York, the $2,000 in surance which he carried on his life. The case was tried in court to-day. The widow at tempted to show that her husband had no reason for suicide, and was evidently accident ally shot while blowing the dust out of the bar rel of the weapon. The defense called physi cians to the stand, as experts, to show that from the nature of the wound it could notbave been inflicted accidentally, but they only par tially succeeded. The jury is now out. Tneir decision will be rendered in the morning. CURED BY EXCITEMENT. How a Beaver Falls Young Lady Recovered From Paralysis. Tf PltCXAI.

The large majority of people suffer more or less from im pure blood given them by their parents. Second, Scrofula may be acquired by trying to live on insufficient and poorly-cooked food, which fails to supply the blood with enough of tho elements of life and health. Third, confinement in poorly ventilated rooms, workshops or factories, or IivintfMn danm, unhealthy localities, will poison tho blood and develop Scrofula. For all Cases Of scrofula, whether inherited or acquired, and in whatever form, Hood's Sarsaparilla is the most successful medicine known. It thoroughly expels every trace of impurity, gives the blood those elements of health and vitality which it craves, and helps the liver and kidneys, the great sewers ot tho system, to perform their natural duties.
