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.

POOR AND ROASTED.
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. The prisoners regis
tered as Jacob Kasson and John Gallagher,

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. Iaree crowd congregated short
ly after and for a while there was considera
ble excitement.

A GREAT DRXQOODS CENTER.
One of the Leading Importing Firms in the
Country Is Jos. 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.

A VERIFIED CLAIM.
Mankind's greatest enemy Is disease. 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."
