rrCIAt TELXORAM TO THK DISATCH.l
HAKUlsnuito. April 1. "Notbini: what
ever will be done," said Governor Pattison
to-n:bt when asked wbat disposition he
would make of the application for the re
spite of Joseph Nicely, who, with his
brother I.ivid, will be hanged at Somerset
to-morrow. A letter has been received in
this citv from the clergyman who bai been
iiiiiiisterins; to the spiritual wants of David
Nicelv, which, while it denies the state
ment that the murderer had expressed his
intention to confess, conveys the impression
that a confession will be forthcoming; when
all bope i'f a tay of execution shall have
disappeared. It also justifies the interpreta
tion that the minister believes him guilty.
Warned of. an Attempted Kescup.
A dispatch from Somerset says: At 8:30
tn-night a telegram was received from a
well-known citizen from Ligonier, saying:
"Look out for a rcscuin-; pirty to-night"
The dispatch was duplicated, one going to
Shenfl Good and the other to Attorney
Kooser the principal attorney for the prose
cution. A interview with Undertaker Lowry,
from Licnnier, develops the facts that he
lias orilbrs Irom the Nicely family to cofSn the
remains of the condemned men at once after
execution; to allo-r no one to see their faces.
Lceplnc the rap cr their facei, and start at
once for Ligomcr hv wacon, where they will he

count to fXiKD'iie caskets to ne lurnisned oy
their relatives. Tney are to be buried on feat
urdaron the Kely farm. Rev. Mr. Hana
alr. a Dunkard preacher, is to officiate at the
funeral.
1 Is confidently expected br many here that
1'ave Nicel) will make a confession to-day.
Many newspaper men and trati:ers are arriv
ing to-da) in anticipation of the execution to
monoH, and there is much hustling to procure
nasses. Four correspondents representing
Baltimore papers have been here since yester
daj. Dare wrote a private letter this afternoon
and upon being asked if that wis the last he
bad to communicate, replied that be did not
know He knelt m prarer this afternoon by
himelf. Rev. Mr. Granger intends spending
the evening with 1.1m until a late hour.
Still I'lajlng at Insanitj
Dave ana Joe both ate a heart r supper, Joe
eating very heartilt. Joe still keeps up the
insanity dodge, altbnugh coniderably modined
from his former efforts. There are already
this eveninc 1,000 strangers in town. All
preparations are uncle tor the hanging of both
men. Lawyer Coffroth, for the condemned
men. continues to circulate back and forth to
the hi erifTs oflice in a mtenous manner, but
notbtng develops through him so far.
"1 irouih the courtesy of Sheriff Good,"
sai'l a reporter. "I was admitted to the jail, ami
a more pitiful sight could not be imagined. In
one cell it David Nicely, with his spiritual
dn-er. Rev. C. W Granger, engaged in devo
tional exercises. In the cell immediately ad
joining was Joseph Nicely, who is in a terrible
condition, borne people seem to think be is
feigning in-anitv. hut anyone who looks at
him will have rhi thought dispelled Hisnt
tnrne. General Koumz, wasthere at the time,
and tried to get him to speak. Joe would not
look up, and went about the cell in an aimless
waj. picking at the iron rims as if he were try
ing to see some way of escape. He would go
to the washsiand and endeavor to pull it up.
and then he would go to the chair. lie seemed
to beobliious of everything surrounding him,
and If he is not insane I never saw a crazy
mau."
t ont Recognize Ills Brother.
This moraine David expressed a desire to see
hi brother. It has been four months since
they have seen one another, and the sane
krotber was terj anxioui to see the one who
will suffer death with him. He was taken ont
of his cell to that of Joe's. Dave look6d at his
brother for a minute as If dazed, and then
said: "Joe, won't iou 6peak to me?'
No response came and agaiu Dave spoke,
saying "Joe wo onli have a short tunc to live
Won't you peak just once? Don's you know
uk? I am your brother."
The man seemed to neither hear nor heed.
David then plared h.s arm around his
brother's neck and Kissed him. Tears were ill
bis Aes. and with a pitiful look requested the
bheri'ff in le id him back to his cell.
It is now evident that the Nicely family have
given up all hopes of a reprieve. Mrs. Kate
Nicely, wife of Dae, on Saturday last dispoieu
of all her propem in Ligonier township, West
moreland counti, and last evening, with her
three children, took her departure for Ohio,
where the will make her future home, and in
hopes of getting awaj from tho disgrace
brought upon her by her recreant husband,
wbom she had not seen since the trial, as she
ra refused to go to see him or have anything
to do in the vrij of securing a commutation or
reprieve.
MOHMON FACTIONS AT WAR
They Contest the Possession or Mount Zioa,
Nenr Independence, Mo.
Kansas City April 1. The two branches
of the Mormon Churci at Independence, Mo ,
known rcspccmclv as-the Hcndnckltes and
the reorganized church, are fighting for the
possessioa of Mount Zmn. Mount Zion is a
low hill of about four acres in extent, selected
by Joseph h:nith as the place where all the
elect will assemble on jrdgment day, and from
tcere be taken into heaven.
The Mormons bcllcie that the foundations
of . magnificent temple, laid many years ago
lv the Angel Gabriel, are just under the sur
face of the ground, and tho place is pitted with
holes dug h zealous believers who have en
ncavorcd to discover the walls, homo time,
so they believe, the Angel Gabriel and his
hosts will ascend from heaven and uncover
these foundations, and then in a single night
t!uy will erect one of the most beautiful
temples ever beheld bv mortal eyes. The
Hcndnckltes have a church in Mount Zion.and
the title to the propeny is vested in one of
their numDcr as trustee The recognized
church is contesting the title. Last night the
church bu.ldisg was nearly wrecked. All the
windows were broken, the furmturo was
turned npsidodowu and the altar was over
turned. Too Hcndnckltes claim the desecra
tion was done by tho Reformed Church. The
members of the latter body deny that tho
Lurch was iutolvcd ;n it, but admit that some
individual members might have takeu part
in it.

Washington.. April L The Secretary of
t'ac Intel lor. acting under the authority granted
fn tho pension appropriation act approved
March 3, 1831, has directed that tho various
pension agencies bo re-arranged into three
group, so that, beginning July 1, there may be
quarterly pajments of pensions made each

SEW IMMIGRATION LAW.
It Is Forcing Up the Moerago Rate From
Kuropcan Ports.
srrctAL Tn.tor.AM to the dispatch, i
Nlw Yoke. April L The first effect of the
new immicration law adopted by Congress and
now in force, is seen in the action of the Gsr.
mm steitmaTiln enmninfea whle.h have rataeri
tho rate of steerage passage iron all German
ports to the United States by tho sum of 2 50.
Ibe new law bears upon immigrant-carrying
steamships in several ways, and there is no
doubt that the law will reduce the immicrant
carrying business o! some of the European
steamship lines.
It is probable in view of this reduction
and of the danger and expense of violating the
terms of the 1 iw that the German companies
have raised the rate or steerage passengers to
America. Manv oi the immigrants declared to
be undesirable have heretofore come to New
York from Bremen and Hamburg.

Taken to Court.
ISrECIAL TELSQKAK TO TUI DIirATCR.1
St. Paul. April L Under the caption
of "Slaverv Still Exists in the Year of Our
Lord 1891." the iPesfern Appeal of to-day
prints a most sensational article, charging
George W. Murdock, who came here from
Georgia five years ago and has since been a
leading citizen of Minneapolis, with keep
ing Bella Murdock, a colored girl, in bondage.
The Appeal says: "The Ker. D. A. Gra
ham has yet succeeded in unearthing one of
the most infamous outrages upon humanity
that is Klowii in the history of Minnesota. It
does not seem reasonable, and the whole story
reads like a romance of 40 years ago. It is no
less than the discovery of a young woman. 19
years of age, held in the most cruel bondage in
the family of one of the most prominent men
In the city, hhe has been in the family for 17
years, or since infancy, and has been taught to
consider heisclf an adopted daughter, as a
blind. The final revelation came Monday,
when it was decided by her master to place her
in a convent. The reason for this was that she
was growing "saucy."
"Mercifully the time of her departure was
postponed till Tuesday and she was allowed to
spend Monday night with her friends to take a
farewell of them, hhe ventured to unbosom
herself to her friends, and it was almost Im
possible for them to make her believe that she
did not have to co, and the Rev. Graham was
sent for. The story of wrongs that was poured
into bis ears for two hours, as she gave the his
tory o' her life, was terrible.
"Here was a colored woman who did not
know that she was free, and who never passed
a week wlliioul one or more beatings or cow
biding from her master. At one time, less tban
three months ago, she was cowhided till her
cluthes were glued to her back by her blood
and for weeks she was unable to lie on her
hack. She was finally persuaded to allow Mr.
Graham to interfere in her behalf and legal
counsel was sought Tuesday morning.
"Mr. Murdock admitted that he was the man
referred to in the Appeal, but refuses to talk
until the matter come J up in the court. Mr.
Graham says 1,000 has been raised to prosecute
Murdock."

A Decided Iaick of Harmony In the Inter
national Congress at Paris.
Pakis, April L There was quite a scene at
this, the second day's session of the Interna
tional Miners' Congress, now being held
at the Labor Exchange of this city. Dur
ing the conrse of the morning debate
the Congress, when the matter was
put to vote, refused Deputy Laui's offer
to attend the meeting oi the miners' delegates
and to assist in the deliberations of the Con
gress. Delegate DeFuct proposed that all
voting should take place and be decided by na
tionality, instead of npon numerical strencth.
A prolonged and stormy debate, during the
progress of which a number of exciting scenes
were witnessed, followed this proposition
Chairman Pickard was finally compelled to
call Delegate DeFuet to order, whereupon

apologies was made later. The Congress then

A Probability That the People Failed to
Elect State Officers.
PitoYlDEXCE, April 1. There was a largo
vote at the tstato election to-day, and the result
cannot be definitely determined for some hours
yet. The indications arc that there has been
no election of any officer upon the general list
by popular vote, although both Dawd and
Ladd, for Governor, have made gains which
nearly balance each other in the State, so far
as heard from.
The General Assembly, with the four cities
and several towns to hear from, stands: Re
publicans, 4S; Democrats. 23; no election for 15
seats. The Kepublicans need seven more votes
for the requisite majority on joint ballot, on
which the Governor and general officers are
elected after a failure to elect by the people.

ISrECIAJ. TELEGBAM TO TUB DISPATOO.1
Mt. Pleasaxt, April 2. The quiet that
reigned about here this afternoon has taken
a decided turn. At 8:50 o'clock this even
ing the distant sound of drams was heard
near Stoneryille, about two miles away, and
soon a telephone message to the watchers in
the company's office said that a gant of about
300 strikers had passed there bound for
Morewood. At the Central Coke works
every one was astir at 9.10, and when a
crowd left that place it was learned that their
objective point was the Southwest Com
pany's big stables at Morewood. From all
sides noises were heard, and an occasional
signal light flashed up.
Prepared to Meet an Attack.
Heanwhile, scouts on horseback were sent
out, and the deputies and other guards in
the company's office prepared for the recep
tion of the marchers. The orders given to
the guards were to fire only when attacked,
or when tbe approaching enemy failed to
halt at command.
Early in tbe evening Sheriff Clawson sent
word that he was unable to come to Mt.
Pleasant, and in his absence the gallant de
fenders were placed tinder the charge of
Deputy Sheriff McConuell aud Captain
Loar. At 10 o'clock the sound of drums
jrew louder, and at 1025 a gang of 150 from
Donnelly and Stonrrville, headed by a
drum corps, and each man with a car-slat or
club on his shoulder, approached the More
wood store.
Here a surprise awaited the marching col
umn. Deputy McConuell and Captain Loar
mustered their forces and a line of men, num
bering 60, and armed with rider, presented
themselves to the strikeis' view. The gang
lowered their gait to a funeral march and
passed the martial array in silence.
The Strikers Advancing; to Morewood.
Their course was up through this place,
thence to tbe Standard works, where they are
at this writing, 12.15. gathering recruits. It is
thought that they will soon return, and then
be joined by men from Bridgeport and Tarrs,
who are now on the move. If they go to
Morewood they will be received warmly, as
the company seems determined to repel any
raid of strikers to nlzht.
This afternoon Deputy Sheriff McConnell
secured writs of injunction upon 32 prominent
labor men here. This move created much ex
citement among the strikers. At this nour
12:J5 the strikers are parading through the
Standard Works, and their yelling and an
occasional pistol shot can be distinctly
heard in the telegraph office. Citizens in town
are waiting for tbe strikers to return. In tbe
street it is thought that the strikers intend
making a second raid on the Morewood works.
Scouts are plenty through the town, and a raid
now will nndoubtedly end In bloodshed.

Kailroad Consolidation Law,
rsriCIAI. TM.KPBAJJ TO TH DISPATnR.!
Columbus, April 1. Considerable time
was spent in the House to-dav on the bill for
the erection of an insane asylum in the east
ern part of the State. The author, Mr. Mc
Kelvy, asked that the bill be taten from the
committee, where there is a desire to smother
it on political grounds, tbe claim beinr made
that the Republican minority wish to make the
appropriations as large as they can and bold
the Democratic administration responsible. The
necessities of tbe institution were, however, set
forth in strong terms. After a long discussion
a promise was secured from members of tho
committee that the bill should be reported tbls
week, and It is thought it will become a law at
an early day.
lhe bill to consolidate street railroads caused
a great deal of ill-feeling in the house to day.
It provides that any corporation organized for
street railway purposes may lease or purchase
any street railroads, together with all personal,
real or mixed propert), franchises and privil
eges, upon such terms as may be agreed upon
by the consolidating companies. There were
charges of jobbery in tbe bill and an amend
ment was secured providing one fare over all
consolidated lints. The bill was defeated last
winter and tbe object to-day was to make it a
special order for next Wednesday, but this
couia not ne aone ana tue oui went on ine cal
endar. An attack was made on tbe lobbyists in the
Senate to-day when a bill was under considera
tion to give marble men a lien on tombstones
and monuments. Senator Sutton denounced
the bill as unwise, and said there were men on
tbe floor lobbying for It. Tbe Sergeant at
Arms was called upon to run the lobbvists nut,
and tho first man he collared was tbe editor
of tbe German Westbote. wbom he did not
know, and created a sensation by putting him
out lhe bill went over.
An amendment has been made to the building
and loan association bill, exempting local asso
ciations from inspection, requiring examina
tion of foreign companies, and also that they
deposit in United States or mnmcipal bonds
guarantee deposits
The Senate refused, by a vote of 18 to 17. to
pass the bill making it a misdemeanor, punish
able with a heavy fine, for a member to accept
a railroad pass.

LOTS OF LIVE QUAIL
A Number of Filtsburgers Stocking
Their Farms Willi the Birds.
M0EE PLAYE1IS GO TO FLORIDA.
Local Dogs Capture the First Prizes at the
Boston Bench Show.
GENERAL SP0ETJXG KEWS OP THE DAI
A number of local sportmen are making
efforts to have the neighborhood of Pitts
burg stocked with quail. Prominent among
the gentlemen referred to are Messrs. F. H.
and J. O'H. Denny, S H. Kennedy and S.
Z. Boggs.
The gentlemen have ju3t received a large
consignment of live quail from Illinois, and
the quail have been distributed in three lots.
One Das gone to Mr. Kennedy and the birds
which have fallen to bis share have been liber
ated in tbe vicinity of Cbartlers. The birds se
cured by the Denny Bros, have been set at
Liberty on the Denny farm at Ligonier, and
Mr. Boggs has set his lot free at Canonsburg.
SpeaKlng about the matter yesterday, Mr.
Boggs said: 'I anticipate that with proper
care we will have a large number of quail in our
respective localities In a year or two from now.
Of course we mean to see that tbe game laws
are onforced and that the birds brought from
Illinois are protected."
It is expected that other consienments of
quail will be forwarded to this section, as
sportsmen generally want to see quail becomo
verv numerous here. To accomplish this they
are willing to go to considerable expense. Tbe
sportsmen of the vicinity are fully aware that
much illegal shooting bas been indulged in for
a long time in Western Pennsylvania, and it is
understood that a vigilant eye will be kept on
the poachers.

in the city yesterday morning, and they will
proceed at once to join the team at St. Au
gustine. lhe three players bad a long conversation
with President O'Noil yesterday afternoon, and
thev stated that they were quite willing to go
to Florida. Two uniform snus were ordered at
A. G. Pratt's for Smith. So it seems that it is
the intention of President O'Noil to keep him.
It Is understood that all three men will be re
tained for fear that by some legator other kind
of deal Baldwin or Rellly may be taken from
tbe club.
President O'Neil frankly admits that Clncin-.
nati is very anxious to secure George Miller.
There is not at prerent any desire on the part
of Mr. O'Neil to reloase Miller, but it is among
the baseball possibilities that George Smith, of
Brooklyn, will play here tnd Miller in Cincin
nati. KNAUSS AND BALDWIN.

BATTLES AT SEA.
THE- CHILEAN WAR ENLIVENED BY
NAVAL CONFLICT!
Rebel Gunboats Destroy a Government
Torpedp Boat and Tug, but Gnns on
Shore Drive Them Hack A Shot Driven
Clear Through tho O'HIggins.
Sait ritAUClsco, April 1. Private ad
vices from Valparaiso state that the iron
clad Blanco, belonging to the insurgents,
recently attempted to blow up the armed
Government tug Florence with a fish torpe
do. The torpedo missed the tug, but struck
a big floating dry dock in the harbor blow
ing it to pieces. The Blanco was thereto
treated to a hot fire from every guu in the
forts and steamed out of the harbor.
The torpedo boat Florence and a tug stole
out to attack the Blanco. The ironclad was
not alone, being in company with the sloop-of-war
O'Higgms. Both ships compelled the
vessels to return to the harbor and followed in
bot pursuit. A heavy shell from the Blanco
struck the Florence, blowing her entirely ont
of the water, and every one of her crew of 17
men was either killed or wounded. Abroad
side from the O'Higgins knocked the tugboat
all to pieces. The twovessels then turned their
attention to the forts, and a lively battle en
sued. A shell from the forts struck the O'Hig
gins and went clear through her. Another
sbell caused a gun on her quarter deck to ex
plode. When the smoke cleared away tbe deck
was found to have been literally torn ont of the
vessel, and 8 men out of the gunboat's crew of
11! were blown to atoms. The sloop was at once
taktii out of the range of the guns in tbe forts.
A dispatch from San Tiagn de Chile fcays: The
elections just held here bave resulted in a com
plete triumph for tho Liberals. It is reported
that the situation in which tbe insurgents at
Iquique find themselves is a most desperate
one. Everything is a: famine prices and the
supply of coal is exhausted. The insurgent
squadron is scouring the coast in tbe hope of
capturing colliers. The Chilean Government
flotilla, consisting of two gunboats, tbree tor
pedo boats and an armed cruiser, is alino,t
ready to proceed against the rebel ships. A
desperate conflict appears to be inevitable.

PENSION OFFICE VACANCY.
Hx-Congressman Browne Ts the Latest One
Nained for the Place.
rTROM A STArj" corkesfoxdeitt.i
Washington. April 1. The office of Com
missioner of Pensions is now practically vacant,
and a successor to General Green B. Ranm
will donbtless be appointed in a short time.
For tbe past three weeks Commissioner Raum
has been traveling through tho country, loot
ing after his interests in tbe refrigerator com
pany, which has been the cause of a large
amount of scandal connected with the Pension
Office since he assumed charge.
It was rumored lor a time, and on pretty
good authority, that ex-Governor Beaver was
to have the place, but that is now exploded. A
gentleman wbo is a very close friend of Beaver,
and wbo occupies a prominent position under
tbe Government, said to-day that General
Beaver would not accept the position if it was
tendered him. He added that Beaver's visit to
Washington last week had nothing to do with
the appointment. It is asserted that General
Browne, ex-member from Cincinnati, will be
appointed to the vacancy when it is made.

CHICAGO'S DEATH BATE.
It Is Still on the Increase and Victims'
Eyes Are Attacked.
rtmciAL teleobam to the DisrATCB.1
Chicago, April L One hundred and sixty
six deaths were reported at tbe Health Office
to-day, 70 of which were caused from tbe
grip. This is an increase of one over tbe
terrible record of yesterday. The scourge is
now attacking the eyes of many of the sufferers
and nearly blinding them. Vital Statistician
Tomlinson received a cablegram from London
to-day. It read: "Dr. Mortimer Granville begs
phvsicians of Chicago to try S grains camphor
in W minims tincture of Iodine and I dram of
glycerine with syrnp. frequently, for influenza.
Strong meat juice is also recommended; no
antipynne."
Exoenments will be made with his prescrip
tion in an effort to checlc tbe unprecedented
ravages of the grip. Among tbe victims of the
scourge to-day was the Rev. Robert M. Hat
Held, one of the most eminent Methodist di
vines in the United States. President Grannis.
of the Atlas Bank, and President blames, wbo
were reported to be dying from the grip, were
better to-day, and it is now believed that both
will recover.
A STEADY INCREASE.
New York's Death Rate Believed to Have
Reached the Maximum.
JSrECIAL TELEOBAM TO TUE DUrATCB.l
New York. April 1. In the 24 hours ending
at noon to-day 200 deaths in this city were re
ported to tbe Board of Health. Tbis In
crease Is attributed to tbe prevailing
malady of the grip, and tbe more
serious diseases occasioned by it, as bronchitis,
pnenmonla and other pulmonary troubles. At
tbe office of the Board of Health it was stated
that tbo rise of tbe'death rate had been gradual
for the last four weeks. Tbis Is in contrast
with tbe sudden increase last year, when the
rate jumped to bign numbers within two
weeks.
Dr. Tracy expressed tho opinion that the
highest point bad probably been reached, and
that a decline wonld shortly follow. Seventy
three deaths were Reported this afternoon,
which warranted the belief that tbe 24 hours
ending at noon to-morrow will not show so large
a rate as to-day. Tbe grip is like last year's,
but working in a milder manner. Last week
the total number of deaths was about 900. For
the four days ending at noon to-day the deaths
were 643, a rate of 1,125 for seven days.
