Serious Charge Against a Well-Known Resident of Sandy Lake. rfPECIAI.TEL30KAM TO THE DIBFATCHI t Fbasklis, Feb. 23. For a small place Sandy Lake, a village of 1,1)00 inhabitants, IS miles north of this place on the Lake Erie road, fur nishes more big sensations than any other towr. of its size in tbe State. A: this point many valuable horses are purchased for the Eastern i markets, and there is now a very grave sus picion that the parties bringing the horses to 'this market have not always come by them honestly, and as a re-ult at least one ot tbe most prominent farmers of this vicinity is a very much wanted man. Until recently Richard Hess has been looked upon as one of tbe leading citizens, but recent developments have cast a shaduw over bis fair name. A short time ago he appeared in town with a new horse, and a few days later a de tective appeared and with him a man who claimed tbe borse as his property. Mr. Hess could not explain from whom be purchased the horse or give any satisfactory account of how the horse came in his possession, and as a result a warrant was svtorn out for bis arrest, but when the officers came to .serve it, Hess was absent. The officers now claim that Hess is the agent for a gang of borse thieves, who worked the farmers of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana for stock valued at many thousand dollars. ASSAULTED HIS UNCLE.

Legislators Say the Southslde Hospital It Badly Managed A Dirty and Uninviting Place The Urgent Need of a Good Insti tution Acknowledged. Representatives John A. JTow, D. C. Titman and Chairman Mullen, after in specting the Soutbside Hospital and the in stitutions for the blind and deaf and dumb yesterday, returned to Harrisburg last even ing. The committee was very much dis pleased with the Soutbside Hospital, and Mr. Fow, acting as spokesman, said: "We think"this hospital isjbadly man aged. It was dirty and the general appear ance of the place was anything but writ ing. I thought it strange that tbe highest subscription to the institution was 5100, and the committee skirmished around among some of the leading business men on the Southside in search of information. We found that tbey took very little interest in the hospital, and they spoke slightingly of the management Now, the committee freely acknowledges the necessity of a hospital on the Southside. The population is 100,000, and many of the big mills are located over there. I am sur prised that tbe business people of the two cities do not establish and help such an in stitution on that side of the river. The hos pital people want 550,000, but the question in the minds of the committee is, il they get the money, will they manage the Institution any better than they do at present? I am opposed to spending a cent on any hospital that is not worthy oi it. When :I told the managers that I didn't like the pUce and of the com plaints thatwe heard from disinterested peo ple, they replied that tbey had n't the money to do better. This may be true. It may be possible we took them by surprise." The other two representatives spoke in the same strain The committee was very much pleased with the blind and deaf and dumb institutions. The blind school wants $29, 000, and they thought the request was very reasonable. Mr. Fow said Western Penn sylvania was entitled to a school for the blind. The committee thinks the deaf and dumb institute will soon be self-supporting. Mr. fow wanted to know the feeling in this part of the State about his bill to ameud tire blue laws. He remarked that Captain Wishart and the Law and Order Xeague were working against it. He ad vocates the sale of cigars, ice, milk, and other innocent articles on Sundav. LIFE AND LOVE CEUSHED OUT. Investigation Into the Death of Annie Quinn and John Hughes. The Coroner held a partial investigation yesterday afternoon into the deaths of Annie Quinn, who was 'instantly killed by the last line express at Braddock Sunday night, and John Hughes, her escort, who was so injured that he died at the Mercy Hospital yester day afternoon at ISO. Miss Quinn and Mr. Hughes, who were engaged to be married, had been spending the alternoon at the home of a relative of Miss Quinn's, by the name of Bernard Eaflerty, on Tenth street, Braddock. About 7 oclock they left Eafferty's house to take a train to go to the next station where they intended to make a visit to another relative. Eaflerty accompanied them to the railroad. At Verona street they reached the railroad and had several blocks to walk along the track to the statipn. A lreight train was passing on the west bound track as they reached the railroad. Eaflerty called to the young couple to look out for the fast line which was then approaching on the east track, Hughes attempted to escape but the warning came too late. He was struck to one side, but Miss Quinn was thrown forward and as she fell was struck again and thrown from the track. She was dead when picked up. The remains of Miss Quinn will be in terred from Bernard Eafferty's house at "J:30 this morning. She was a domestic and lived with a family at Edgewood. Hughes was a laborer at the Braddock Steel Works. The inquest will be concluded on Friday. FEUSTEATED THE EOBBEES. Three Men Plan a Clever Scheme 'Which, the Police Checkmate. About 8:30 o'clock yesterday morning an East End citizen while standing at the Pennsylvania Eailroad station overheard a conyersatiou between three young men, in which they were planning robbery. The plan as laid out was that one man was to collide with a lady, strike her a blow in the stomach while another was to snatch her pockctbook and run. The citizen reported this to Officer Dun can, who visited the station, but was in formed that the trio had started up the rail road. Securing Detective Gumbert and Lieutenant Snyder the officers started in pursuit and after a hot chase captured two of the men who were taken to the Nine teenth ward station.

FIGHT TO THl DEATH. A Columbus Newspaper War Results in a terrible Affray, IN WHICH TWO MEN AEE KILLED. Albert Osborne Shot Down By W. J. Elliott on the Street, and AN INNOCENT HAN MEETS HIS DEATH tSrECIAL TELIQEAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1 Columbus, O., Feb. 23. A horrible tragedy occurred here shortly after 1 o'clock this afternoon. Two men were killed and several wounded in a fusillade of pistol shots. The terrible affair was the out growth of a newspaper feud, which has been raging for several weeks between the pub lishers of the Sunday World and Sunday Capital of this city. Colonel "W. J. Elliott, editor of the Cap ital, shot and instant killed Albert Osborne, city editor of the Sunday World. W. 1J. Hughes, an old gentleman, who was stand, ing nearby, was shot and killed with a stray bullet from Elliott's pistol. The tragedy, as before stated, was the result of a news paper war. Two weeks ago the World made charges, against Elliott's family, in sinuating that a female relative of Elliott's was not all she might be. Serious Charges Against Levering. Elliott retaliated on the following Sunday with a four-column .article, charging F. W. Levering, editor of the World, with being the joint proprietor of a disreputable house. He also charged him with being associated with a woman named Lou Burton. Lever ing is an Assistant State Oil Inspector and prominent in politics. The charges created a profound sensation. The charges against Leveriqg also implicated Claude Meeker, Governor Campbell's private secretary. Levering and bis city editor, Mr. Os borne, retaliated yesterday with a sensa tional article, charging Elliott with nearly all the crimes in the calendar. Elliott, with his brother Patrick, and Osborne met this afternoon on High street, near the Ameri can Hotel. PatrickjEHiott opened fire upon Osborne and Osborne returned the fire. A rnnning battle ensued. In which W. J. Elliott joined. Patrick Elliott started to run, followed by Osborne, Osborne followed br W. J. Elliott. All three men emptied their revolvers as rapidly as possible. One' of the 'shots from W. J. Elliott's gun grazed Osborne's arm, and he turned and fired at the former. The shot missed its ' mark and Osborne fled into Malcolm Mc Donald's hat store. The Killing of Osborne. As he did so be turned and fired at W. J. Elliott. The latter fired his weapon almost simultaneously, and the shot took effect in Osborne's chin. " It went clear through hia mouth upward and backward through the brain and came out at the base of the skull. Elliott had followed Osborne into the store, and as he fired the last shot grappled with him. In the scuffle which lollowed both their guns were discharged and Osborne tell to the floor dead, although the last shot, it is said, did not take effect in either man, the ball which caused Osborne's death having entered his face as he came in through the doorway. Osborne fell upon a large pile of boxes. containing hats, and the weight of his body caused the boxes to collapse and to cover him completely. W. L. Hughes, a highly respected citizen, and formerly steward of the Imbecile Asylum, was standing on the pavement watching the formation of the parade. He was struck during the. running battle. The ball entered Hugnes' head im mediately over the left eye, and he dropped upon the iron grating in front of Ambo's restaurant, expiring instantly. Two others in the crowd were injured. Threats Against the Elliotts. The excitement incident to the tragedy continues and the situation looks threaten ing. Large crowds continue to hover about the scene of the tragedy. AY. J. Elliott and his brother are held at the city prison, and owing to threats which have been openly made, the police authorities have taken extra precautions to prevent any outbreak or mob violence. W. J. Elliott was interviewed, and among other things, said: "When in front of Schrader's saloon with my brother, Pat, I turned and saw Osborn with a revolver pointed at me. I reached for my pistol, when I heard a bullet whiz by my head. I think he shot two or three times at me, and I fired back. Osborn started after Pat, and Pat Tan out into the street through the crowd, Osborn firing at him and into the crowd." Interviews with a large number of eye witnesses to the tragedv are substantially the same that W. "J. Elliott opened fire on Osborn as he came along the street, and the best information of those who saw it is that the first shot fired by Elliott hit Osborn in the side of the head or neck. Osborn, after returning the fire at both Elliott and 'his brother, ran into the hat store, where he was louowea or Jl: j. isuiott, and tbey had a hand-to-hand struggle, during which sev eral shots were fired and Osborn was shot through the head. Besides the two men killed, four other persons were wounded, none seriously. A NATURAL GAS EXPLOSION At the Anderson Hotel Last Night Slightly Injured the Fireman. About 11 o'clock last night an explosion of gas occurred at the Hotel Anderson. Albert Johnston, the fireman, was lighting the fire under one of the boilers and did not notice that the force of the gas had extin guished the light he used. In a few mo ments the escaping gas reached the fire unper another boiler and an explosion fol lowed. Johnston was burned about the face and head, but was not seriously injured. The damage to the house was trifling. The boilers are under the barroom, and the report cleared that part of the house in a twinkling. A.

Home & Co., of Pitts burg Their Business Described. The retail merchants within a radius of 100 miles of Pittsburg are awakening to the fact that not alone in domestic drygoods do our merchants lead the country in variety and low nrices for quality in drygoffds, but that within the past few years the dress goods trade, largely controlled by Eastern firms, is being transferred to our center. A walk through the dress goods department of Joseph Home & Co.'s wholesale stores is sufficient to demonstrate tbe fact. On their counters and in an endless array of boxes covering their floors is displayed dress fabrics of every description, from the modest priced to the finest shown jn the country, amounting in dollars and cents to a greater sum than the entire annual output of this class of goods of the combined wholesale stores of this city some few years ago. Step by step this trade has.been growing until it has assumed gigantic proportions. No house could nossiblv obtain this en viable position among critical buyers with out developing-three points absolutely neces sary in the conduct of business, viz: Variety, 3uauty ana price, in an tnese tnree jueisrs. oseph Home & Co., have been leaders; their close connection with manufacturers of Paris, Germany, Saxony, Bradford and our own country place them on the same footing as the largest importers of this country. The variety of their stock can be partially esti mated when we say that we were shown over 140 styles of choice effects and colorings in wool bourettes, cheviots, plaids and stripes, in 36 to 43 inches widths, in goods that can be retailed at the one price, 60c per yard. Over SO distinct shades and colorings in both 39 and 46 inch cashmeres and henriettas, manufactured from the finest Australian wool, and dyed by best Paris dyers, in shades especially adapted to this market, which can be retailed at 60c to $1 per yard. They also control the sale in this market of the celebrated Turner worsteds, of which they show 84 styles in fancies, blacks and whites, und shepherds' plaids; the very best values to retail at 25a. An endless variety of black and colored serges, golden stag cashmeres, mohairs, tamises, silk warp henriettas, wool-faced cashmeres and henri ettas. Also large lines ot plaid, stripe, bro cade and fancy weave 3-4 and 6 4 dress goods, from which to' make selections to re tail at 8 Jfc to 25c In connection with the large lines of dress goods may be seen some of the choicest pro ductions in silk fabrics, such as crepe de chene, crepe Stanley, peau de soie, benga line de soie, India, and tonkong silks, luxors, swivel surahs, black grounds with high-colored figures and plain surahs in every quality. In grenadines, which promise to he very popular this season, the most complete lines are to be seen, comprising plain mesh, bro caded, surah stripes, satin stripes, armure and brocade stripes, and ball spots. A visit to this establishment will demon strate tbe fact that in no house west of New York can be found a stock meeting the wants of buyers so well as that shown by Joseph Home & Co., Wood street, Pittsburg.

Be tween tbe two there is a constant warfare be ing waced for the supremacy. 'The canseof nearly one-half the deaths that occur in the United States can bs traced directly to con sumption or its near allies. Catarrh is Its closest ally, and in many cases leads directly to that fatal disease. By Br. Copeland's treat ment catarrh, whether scute or chronic Is ab solutely cured. In every case the results haTe been eminently successful. This week tbe fol lowing statement is added; Mr. J. O. Jfictly, Derry Station, Fa. Mr. J. O. Nicely, residing at Derry station, 45 miles from Fittsbun;, and a traveling: sales man for Otis. Bbepard & Co., wholesale grocers, doing business on SeTentb avenne, tbis city, says: "I was troubled for oyer six years with catarrh which came from a cold I contracted while on one of my trips. My bead and nose became stopped up, first one side then the other; could scarcely breathe. The dropping of mucoos into my throat was so bad that X had to sit up in bed to sleep. I was subject to oc casional doll, heavy pains over my eyes and nose. Had ringing or roaring noises In my ears. Coogbed in the morning and raised up quantities of mucous. I suffered from sharp shooting pains in tbe chest, in tbe region of tbe beart and nnder shoulder blades. My appetite was poor. I felt distressed and suffered from a nansea at the stomach. Felt dizzy on suddenly raising myself and my sleep was restless and disturbed. I always felt tired in the morning. "Called at the office of Drs. Copeland and Blair, and after examination, finding their charges so reasonable, I took treatment. Al most immediately my symptoms disappeared. Headaches stooped and pains in chest have ceased. Nose and bead became clear, and I ceased conghing or raising mucous. Slept well and felt refreshed upon arising. 1 feel better in every way since they have treated me than I have felt for years."
