It is the unani tous verdict of the Republicans who were 5embled in convention that they did a tagnificent piece of work to-day. 31c Jnley was not only named amid the great sr of enthusiasm, but an extraordinarily ron? ticket was selected throughout, iterviews with several of the more prom icnt leaders indicate they are thoroughly itiefied with the work of the convention td would not change a thing if they had le power to do so. There was no Republican present who is anything to do with the practical work igs of the party but who would admit the invention was a Foraker body so far as ntiinent was concerned, and tho er-Gov-mor had no trouble in securing anything hich he might suggest. The supposed mtest, however, between Foraker and herman has been greatly overdrawn and h1 not materialize in the-convention, but i the other hand there was much disap ointment to the disturbers, because the -Governor thought proper to pay a high smpliment to Sherman, and the latter also mde complimentary reference to the Gov nor. Tho Eight Still In tho Future. It is assumed there is a contest on for the enatorship, with the Governor and Sher ian as the leading figures, and this may be le case, but they both judiciously con ded all points at this time and agreed it lonld be a matter of the future. Sherman ruck a vein of humor in the convention hen he stated there was a tendency on the art of the young men to butt the old liners m the track and intimates there was tvthing wrong in such a course, as tlie iturc leaders of the party "were just com lg to the front. The only feature of the convention which id not go just as the frlei of Governor oraker would have likjd to have it was ic nomination for Lieutenant Governor. Ir. Griffin, of Toledo, was their choice, but is learned since the convention adjourned tat Major McKinley and a few of his clos i advisers thought there should be some cognition of the farmers and they qnictly iskted on th3 nominiam of General, arris. A Little Sclie 1 f Tliat "Worked Well. H. Ii. Moore en-rineered the scheme of ariing the changes if tin voting in the itercst of Harris, aul it worked admirably, te friends of Griflri, although in the ma irity, being un s o st.n the tide. A iwplcofthe expression! wlvch are hard om Republicans as to the work of the con dition is given in a little talk with Hon. . I.. Conger, member of the Natiohal Bo ablican Committee, who was present at re con ention. "What Co you think of the ticket?" was tho aery. "I think it is ono of the strongest nnd best rkets ever placed before the people of hio. Mi. McKiuley will make tho greatest mvass of his life and I believe will carry ic State by not less than SO, COO majority.

The question of ic United States Senntorship will be left ir settlement until after the Legislature is ootcd. so w o shall meet with no embarrass outs in this direction. A Compliment to tho Farmers. "The nomination of Mr. Harris for tho ieutcnant Go ernorship will provo a most tea-ins compliment to the largo fanning iterests of the State, Governor Foraker n exceedingly happy in bringing all of his tonds into line, and the speech he rondo to ay was the grcate-t of his lifo. lie will and shoulder to shoulder with McKinley id Sherman in the approaching contest. In tort, the Republican party of Ohio was ever before so strongly united for n alitlcal contest as tho approaching one will rove to be. Wo shall gain a great victory id be in splendid condition for the contest '1692." Tho proceedings of the day were opened 1th prayer, after which the report of tho imnilttce on Credentials was presented id adopted.

I congratulate you upon to bright sunshine this morning, giving omlse of an early and abundant harvest, ic realization of which will be a more sub uutial benefit to the whole people of this mntry than the organization of any num r of new political parties." Applause and leers. Foraker Presents McKInley's Name, dominations were declared in order and f-l,ovornor Foraker aro-o to present tho une of Major William McKinley for Gov-n-ir. At sight of the familiar figure of tho .. iovcrnor and sturdy campaigner tho ncntion fairly went mad withenthusi iii. For over a minute tho applause and n-ers reverberated through the immense tilding,Jan Mr. Foraker bowed smilingly the compliment. The closest attention i- paid to Mr. Forakor's speech, and his Ming points were enthusiastically ap uided. In conclusion the cx-Govcrnor 11 V Republican candidate has ever "Aired defeat through fault of Will- McKinley. This thrust at ccr " Ohio Republicans who opposed oi-aber and wrought his defeat in e lat Gubernatorial election wns received ith wildest enthusiasm. Thero -was not one single drop of cutthroat blood in his veins. Ho is morally incapable of tho treachery and cowardice of political assassin ation. Applause. He doesntknowwhata political razor is, and has only contempt for tho sncaklng.j hypocritical scoundrel who would use ono. Prolonged applause and cheers. "I move you, Mr. Chairman, that the rules of this convention bo suspended, and that by acclamation wo nominate, to be our can didate for Governor, that brilliantstates man and soldier and orator, William Mc Kinley." Prolonged cheers. Colonel Robert Harlan, tho colored orator of Cincinnati, seconded Major McKinley's nomination "on behalf of 30,000 colored voters or Ohio." So Doubt About the Nomination. With one wild, hilarious cheer of afflrma- I'tlon, tho convention declared Major McKin ley nominated for Governor by acclamation, and that gentleman was- soon on the plat- iorm. Among other things he said: "I accept tho nomination you have ten dered me, sensible both of the honor and re sponsibility it implies. The election this year is of unusual importance, not only be cause it determines the political character of the administration of the State for the coming two years, but becauso it involves the choice of a Legislature whose duty it win ue to ciecc a uniteo. states aenaior, -wiio will continue for six years from March 4, 1S8S, and whose farther duty it will bo to district the State for representatives in Con gress under tho new census, and wipe -from the statute books the orimo against Re- Suhhcan suffrage perpetrated by the present emocratlo Legislature. "We have protected American products and American labor. So long as foreign products can be found to tax which compete with our own in our market, we propose to tax them rather than tax our own. The Democratic party prefers to tax the domes tic product rather than the imported. Their tariff leirislation ironld benefit everv coun try but our own. We follow In our tariff policy the teachings of Washington and Hamilton And Clay and Webster and Lincoln and Garfield. They pursuo the fallacies of Cobden and Bright and Calhoun and the statesmen of tho late Southern Confederacy. They are pledged now to impede, if th cl ean, tho prosperity of the countrv until after the next Presidental elootion. That is their mission this year. Business disaster and reverses are the ladder of their hopes. Prosperity and contentment among the peo ple bring them sure political defeat. Approval of the Administration. "Tho Republican party of Ohio approves the administration of President Harrison, and extend to it hearty congratulation. It hns been clean, conser ativo, able and patri otic. It has been wise in its domestic policy, and thoroughly American in its foreign. It has won the confidence of the people nt home ; it commands universal respect abroad. The party is in favor of ft regulated immigration which shall be Just and reason able and humane. Our shores should be made impassable to the vicious, the crimi nals and public dependents of other lands, but not inhospitable to tho honest and vir tuous and those who are well disposed to our institutions, seeking new and liappier homes, ready to share the burdens, as well as the blessin;s, of our society. It demands and will require a strict enforcement of ex isting law, and such additional safeguards as will protect our citizenship and our labor. "The public credit and sound finances must be preserved, and every soliemo to destroy it must be met with courage and intelligence and repelled by the mighty force of public opinion. Better risk defeat which can bo only temporary than capitulate with the demagogue, or surrender to dishonesty. The misguided citizen never forgives the mis guided party. The man who is misled honestly pursuing the wrong, even though for temporary advantage. It agrees with him. He does not excuse his party, if get ting what he wants turns out to be what ho ought not to have had. He respects his Jiarty for doing right oven as against his udgment, but he'has no further use for it, if following his Judgment harm and injury come to State and country and business. Tho Republican party never won a battle by truckUng; it never lost one when it was honest and courageous. The honest and conservative and well meanlnsr have the largest battalions when they muster undor one Hag." Attention Paid to State Issues. Turning to State issues, Major McKinley charged the Democratic administration and Legislature with depriving the legally elected Republican Lieutenant Governor of his seat without a legal contest; with mak ing an unjust and partisan Congressional gerrymander and with unparalleled extrav agance in State expenditures. In conclud ing ho said: "I must detain yon no longer; other occasions will offer fuller onnortunitv for discussion. I must not further interrupt iub necessary Dusmcsa 01 tuis convention. Its spirit and unity, its numbers and enthus iasm, indicate an interest and purpose wluehare the forerunners of victorv. Wo have never had a greater battle to fight none where more vital issues affecting all thf nnnln wim invnlvofl Tinnftirhn Vlr plain people' have greater stake or deeper interests. To them and for them tho appeal must bo made. In them wo must repose our trust. To them wo must look for victory." Immediately after tho close of Major Mc Kinley's stirring speech there wore loud cries of "Sherman," "Sherman." Tho grizzly, paternal face nnd familiar figure of the senior Senator of Ohio finally -emerged from the crow din tho rear of tho hall, and again tho enthusiastic scenes of the convention-were enacted. Senator Sherman mado a review of the work of the Republican party and tho financial policy it had estab lished. He concluded as follows: "With a warning behind us, let us not be backward or laggard in the civic contest in November, but, -w 1th a ticket worthy of our choice, let us appeal to our fellow citizens to place ngum our honored State at the head of tho Republican column." Completion of the Ticket. Andrew J. Harris was then named for Lieutenant Governor, E. W. Too for Auditor, W. T. Cope for Treasurer, J. K. Richards for Attorney General, Marshall J. Williams for Judge of tho Supremo Court, Cbailes E. Grace for member of the Board of Public Works, O. T. Carson for State School Com rni'ioner, and H. B. McNeil for State Dairy and Food Commissioner. The Committee on Resolutions reported the platform, whioh was adopted amid cheers, ns follows: The Republicans of Ohio, in convention assembled, reaffirm and express their adhe sion to the principles which have guided them heretofore in promoting the prosperity and happiness to the American people. First Wo reaffirm our devotion to tho patriotic doctrine of protection, and recog nizotho McKinley bill as the ablest expres sion of that principle, enacted in fulfillment of Republican promises, and wo pledge our selves to its support, always having In view its improvement as changed conditions or experience may require. Second We lavor such legislation by Con gress and in this State as will in every prac tical mode encourage, protect and promote the interests of agriculture in all its depart ments. Protection of labor and the rights of laborers, such as will grant to toil its full and Just rewards, is among the first obliga tions of government. Keeping an Eyo Upon Wool.

Sixth While inviting to our shores tho wot thy poor and oppressed of other nations we demand the enactment of laws that -w ill protectour country and our people against the influx, of the vicious and criminal classes of other"natious and the importation of laborers under contract to compete w ith our own citizens, and earnestly approve tho rigid enforcement of existing la-w s by tho present national administration.

Good Words for the President. inth Tho patriotism, wisdom and ability of tho administration of President Harrison command our cordial approbation and sup port, and we especially commend tho policy of reciprocity, by which our trade may be vastly increased by commercial treaties with other nations, -and we also commend the vigorous foreign policy of the adminis tration, which has commanded tho respect of foreign nations for tho flag of our country.

Eleventh We, congratulate President TTni-rfqnn nncl the countrv unon the selection of tho Hon.

Tho balance of tho platform is devoted to State affairs, saying, among other things: Wo denounce Governor Campbell and the Sixty-ninth General Assembly for violating their party's pledges and the rights of local sen-government Dy legislative reorganiza tion of numerous towns and cities for solely partisan purposes. We denounce tho late "Jtipper" Legislature for having sanotioncd and encouraged tho Increase ot local taxa tion, nnd for Increasing the expenditures of tho State moro than $500,003 in excess of tho appropriations of any preceding two years, thus bringing the State to the verge of bank ruptcy in spite of tho generous appropria tions made by the Itepubllcan Congress in the act refunding the direct tax. In compliance with the recent enacted bal lot reform law the convention adopted a device, to be printed at tho head of the Re publican ticket this device to bo tho Amer ican eagle. William M.

ISPECIAI.TELEOIU.M TO TOTK DISPATCH,! CisciKWATi, June 17. Governor Campbell does not intend to be caught napping. He has not been letting things go by default anyhow, as the recent frequent visits of Claude Meeker, his privute secretary, and Ed Hughes, his executive clerk, wiU show. As a sequel to these visits, and in order to ascertain for himself, tho condition of -his fences in Hamilton county. Gov. Campbell arrived hero to-day, and this afternoon hold a meeting in parlor "A" of the Burnet House. Abont 200 of tho Governor's friends were present, and plans were laid to defeat tho Neal following. The plan of the campaign was not made public, but Governor Canip beU said: "I will be renominated without any very serious opposition in the convention. So far there has not tieen a delegate selected against mo outside of Ross county. There is one delegate in Franklin county who is claimed to be against me, but I atn informed it is a mistake. The most utter collapse I ever saw was the desperate light against mo in that county." Speaking of the threat that he would not have a delogato from Hamilton county, tho Governor said significantly, "Nobody else wiU have any in the convention if they per sist in coing on with tho primary next Satur day, iinako this statement in the belief that the Democracy of this State will not let the committeo in Hamilton county rebel against the State Committee, and uphold them in such action. Whenever the County -Executive Committee of this county calls a primary of this county on tho -basis which 'was laid down by tho State Committee, and WniCU IS tlie UIUVei?aiIJluuua yi wio yomj. -we will meet them at the polls; but.no friend of mine, with my consent, will attend the nrlmarv next Saturday. "We dtsputo the right of the County Com- Tnlttoo to cau a primary on nny oasis raceps thatprovided or to be provided by the 8tate Committee. We also dispute tho right of a committeo to .prescribe tho person or por Knns for whom delegates shall vote in the tsBtato wmventto.-heylmdertalre by their call to control tne actum, oi Delegates in au vanco of their selection. That renders tho caU invalid also. Wo do not dispute the legal right of tho committeo to call tho primary now upon inadequate notice, but wo do say It is arrant cowardice. They aro afraid to let the Democrats of the county have a fair and open fight." "Do you think the anti-gang circular here has Injured your chancest" "It was a flash in the pan, and a very small flash at that." REGRET FOR SHERMAN ATTHEPROSPECT OF HIS SENATORIAL CAREER ENDING, IN 1803.

Tho nomination of McKinloy for the Ohio Governorship causes little comment here, because it was a foregone conclusion months ago; but tho email figure cut in the convention at Columbus by Senator Sherman has ledto no end of gossip. Sherman has been for so long conspicuous, not only in the Sen nte, but also in Washington local affairs and business investments, that he is looked upon as a permanent citizen, and regret at the prospect that his Senatorial career will end March 8, 1S93, is qnito generally expressed. Among the jounger Republicans, howevor, and especially among the soldier element, the hopo Is freely expressed that tho Senator may give place to a younger man, and Foraker seems to be the layout o. One prominent young Ohian said this evening to the correspondent of The Dis rATCii:"I don't disparage Shorman; ho has had a great career, and his life is a part of the history of Ohio, but he has had the place long enough, no must give way to young blood. We can't always have tho -w isdom of the old statesmen. Wo must begin to train some of our younger men in the work of the Senate. Moreover, Sherman is top close a sympathizer in every way with the spirit of Wall street for these days, when so many elements are growing more and more op nosed to tho denomination of money bars. "Governor Foraker is my man. Just imagine for a moment how he would stir up the fossils of tho Senate. Why ho would revolutionize that body. It needs a fellow exactly like him, and I tell you we aro going to send him there. All honor to Sherman, but ho has enough. Let him retire on his laurels and the great wealth he has amassed, notwithstanding the fact that his salary has for a long time Deen no" more than $5,000 a year and never more than $8,000, though he tried hard to make it frho Presidental $50,000."

A -REIGN OF TERROR. Quaker City Colored People Afraid of the Medical Students ONE COACHMAN BECOMES INSANE And Dies in an Asylum, All Because of His Fear of Dissection. .C0L1EGE PRANKS CAUSE THE TK0UBLE rSPECUL TELrORAU TO THE DISPATCH. Philadelphia, Juno-17. A reign of terror, qniet but real, exists among the colored population of West Philadelphia, tho most beautiful and aristocratic suburb of this city. The colored people believe that tho medical college of the University of Penn sylvania have a paid gang of powerful men, whose business it Is tolurkabout the streets at night with hoods "and chloroform, and capture negroes for subjeots to be dissected by the students. It is almost Impossible to find a colored man or woman willing to pass within a block of the medical college after dark, and a coachman of ono of the pro fessors wns so terrified at the Idea that ho became a raving maniac on the subject, and has died in the State Insane Asylum at Nor rlstown. The mania has been growingforsometime, and has been greatly aggravated by thought less students, who knew of it, and on this account tried to frighten hapless inegroea' who might fall into their clutches. Perhaps ono of tho most powerful causes is an occur rence that happened at about 0 o'clock one evening, when a certain studentwas dissect ing alone, after the others had fief t tho col lege for tho dav. Scaring a Dusky ltrnder. Darkness was beginning to gather and. this student had about made up hi3 mind to quit' work, when he heard footsteps, slow, quiet,, cautious, upon the stairs, suddenly aDOve the railing appeared tho face of 4 negro, who had heard of the awful doings in the dissecting room and who had been drawn thither by curiosity whioh amountod to fas cination. As his frightened face suddenly appeared, the student naturally Jumped up, holding In one hand a scalpel, in the othor a bone. The Intruder uttered a howl of terror, and started to run down stairs, y The only other person in the building was tho janitor, and as he heard a snpposcdT thief rushing down tho steps, he darted to th door and locked it. The negro fell to the floor, trembling in every limb, praying and raving by turns, beseeching the Janitor to let him out. "Now we've got you," replied the janitor, "and we have been looking for a strong black man for weeks. Pray, you poor sinnor. In an hour you'll bo in a vat, and to morrow aftornoon the boys will be cutting you up." The terrifled man called upon God to holp him; his eyes started from their sockets; he swayed backward and forward in agony indescribable. At this juncture the students came on the scene, and seeing that tho negro was on tho vereo of insanity Induced by Iriaht. told the janitor to let him out. The colored popula tion oi tvest jrmiaueipnia lire mmo ai- together in tho neighborhood of Ludlow street, from Fortieth to Forty-third; and here a small boy named Dick Henry has ac quired quite a reputation from his fortunate esuupu xruui - ueiu snip uuuiura. Another Prank of the Students. Dick will not speak of the occurrence now, tonnybut Intimate friends, however, tho story is that he was playing ball with a couple of other little colored boys on the University campus, when they, too, inspired by curiosity, stole into the medical college. when suddonly soveral students mado a dash toward them and captured Dlok, although his friends escaped. Then he was taken up Into the dissecting room where ho saw the horrid spectacle, and was afterward shut in a closet, whence he was released, later on.il umore ueaa tmm-Biive.'.mere wasniunve; tigation ana tno story leamca out bsbdoto related. Dick stays very near his home now, .and lets the medical college take care of it 'self. James Cain, a very old man, black as coal, with white, wooly hair,and deferential man ners learned before tho war, resides not far from Dick Henry. Jim is so old and wise, and has served such great families, that ho is looked up to as an oracle. He acknowl edged the truth regarding the terror of his brethren to go near tho University after dark: but he does not know for certain whether any of his friends have ever been kidnaped on the street at night and turned into "stiffs" for the students to practice unon. Letter carriers who servo on tho routo along which live the negroes testify to the mania. "I've often heard the people speak of the skip doctors," said Thomas Cocker, carrier No, 755, "and thero is no question that it exists." A Coachman Driven to Insanity. " Dr. Charles W. Dulles has known of tho mania for a long time and says that a great many aro believers in tho idea. But tho most startling testimony is that of Dr. James H. Loyd, of the University. "I had a young colored coachman afflicted with this monomania," ho said, "and his case was particularly Interesting to me. Every day for two yoara he rode besldo ma in a carriage, nnd every day wo visited tho Philadelphia Hospital, whore I was a mem ber of the visiting staff. Thero Edward saw the students coming and going, and of course also saw somothing of hospital life, especially on clinio days. Gradually ho loruied the delusion that the students wero after him for his body. Frequently he would tell me that bad men were walking around tho streets at night, and cautioned me about certain localities. I noticed that after a fow months he would not go willing ly from my residence to his own home after twilight unless his brother would call for him and accompany him. In case his brother did not appear Edward would start from my house and rnn all the way home, buistlng in at hUdoor as if being chased. Ho told liis family about his fears, but never mentioned a woid to me, op I should have had him put aw ay safely. "Ho left my employment suddenly and a few weeks alterward his elder sister came to my office and said that she was afraid her brother wa3 getting worse in his head. After some questioning ir transpired that the man had trrown to believe that I was rineleader in a gang who was going to steal him at the first opportunity, and dissect his body. Thereupon he purchased a pistol, and when ever we rode out together, us wo did every day, he kept that weapon loaded in his pocket, ready-to pull it out and shoot mo dead if I made any move which he thought was to capture him. So terribly did Uiis idea prey upon his mind that he couldn't sleep at night; and Anally he became com pletely insano on tho subjeot. He was placed in the asylum at Norristown and died there soon afterward." LUCY GABDNEB'S LUCE, Sho Escapes With a Fine of $100 on Her Conviction of Grand Larceny.

HIPPOLYTE STILL LIVES. AT LEAST THE HUMOR OF HJS MUR DER IS DISCREDITED. Fresh Acts of Bloody Vengeance' Excite the Haltlens Against Their President Jaonel in a Reign of Terror The Kear sargo at Port an Prince. New Tons, Juno 17. The Atlas Line pas songer steamer Alvo, which arrived here from naitien ports this morning, brought news of continued outbreaks of a somewhat milder character at the Haitien capital, and of the wholesale slaughter of political pris oners In all parts of the island. The Alvo also brought the news of the rumored shoot ing of President Hippolyte. This rumor was being freely circulated in Jacmel and tho outlying towns about Port au Prince, whelvtho Alvo left the former port on June 8, and had even crept into some of tho news papers. William Bishop, chief mate of the Alvo, gave the information- whioh follows, and showed a paper called ITte-Oleaner, published in Kingston, Jamaica, containingnews of the outbreaks at Port au Prince, and of the re ported assassination of Hippolyte. The rumor could not be confirmed Try the people on the Alvo before, she loft Jacmel. Amongtheportsatwhlch the Alvo touched before starting finally for this city was Jacmel, where tho populace was in a high fever of excitement over rhat they termed an outrageous murder which occurred in that city the day before at Hippolyte's order. The news of troubles at Portau Prince travels somewhat slowly into the interior towns In Haiti, and frequently is unknown in the inland cities for weeks after their occur rence. Consequently the slaughter of 190 citizens of Port au Prince was not known of at Jacmel until several days later, though Jacmel and Port au Prince aro only about 50 miles apart.

News of the event and of the arrests was immediately carried to Hippo lyte, and as the sun was rising on tho morn ing of Juno 5 half a dozen soldiers rode over the hills into the town on horseback, report ing at the garrison. Many of the people of the city wore about early, and seeing the ap proach of the visitors, circulated the news that the prisoners at the garrison wero about to bo put to death. Within an hour every man and woman in the city was on tho street and hundreds surrounded the jail. The six prisoners handcuffed together wero then led out of the prison and were marohed to tho open square in the center of the city, and in tho presence of their friends and rela tives wore mercilessly shot down.

THE LEADER OF A YER Y FAST'SET. A KarroTT Escape .From the Divorce Court Several Tears Ago. QUITE A NUMBER OP C0-BEST05DENTS LoxDoif, June 17. Ascot week did not close without the gossip-mongers having the best of it. For several days rumors have been afloat, both in the clubs and drawing-rooms, to the effect that the exposure of Lady Brooke in connection withthebaccarat scan dal was inevitable, and that legal steps had already been taken against the Prince and herself. SirW. Gordon-Cummlng's friends accuse her openly of having been the cause of his ruin. The fast friends of a faster Prince, how ever, emphatically deny that there is any truth in the matter, and say that it is noth ing but tho malicious talk of aeot of jealous society women. Recently at select social gathering where royalty and its sateUites were not present it was open talk that the threatening clouds which hod been hovering over His Royal Highness's head for soma time past had by no means been dispersed. The relations between the Prince of Wales' and Lady Brooke have been the topic of so cial gossip on several occasions. As yet no body has openly accused the pair of any undue intimacy, yet it has been repeatedly hinted that if Lord Brooke were not so easy going he would long ago have put a stop to the repeated Interviews between bis wife and the heir apparent. The Policy of the-Prlncess. lb, is also a well-known fact that the Princess of Wales has strongly objected to having Lady Brooke's society forced upon her, and that the Queen simply Ignores her. A few years ago rumor had it that Lady Brooke had become smitten with the hand some Guardsman, but that Sir Gordon-Cum-ming, being aware of tho close relations be tween his friend. the Frlnco and tho lady in question, met her advances coldly. Lady Brooke has always been known among her friends and at court as one of the most mischievous gossip-mongers. Sho is considered a woman who will never rest until she has brought ruin upon any person she hates. Her past has been such as to give color to the unfavorable comments made on her character. AU London knows that her married life is an unhappy one. Lord Brooke has always been aniinsigniflcantman, who has no other merit except that of having been a college chum of the lato Prince Leo pold, Duke of Albany. Lady Brooke before her marriage was Miss Maynard. Her father. Colonel Maynard, loft an enormous fortune, of which only the smaller part went to bis widow, who soon after bis death became the wife of the Earl of Rosslyn. Lord Brooke is the eldest son of the Earl of Warwick, of Warwick Castle. He is undoubtedly tho poorest peer in the United Kingdom and consequently when Lord Brooke's marriage with Miss Maynard came off it was hailed with delight by tho Earl and his family. Fourteen Co-Respondentiat One Time, A few years after their marriage rumors became afloat concerning an immlnentsoclal scandal in which the names of several prom inent statosmen, officers, etc., wero con nected with that of one of the wealthiest and most beautiful ladles of the English aristocracy. It did not take long before the rumors assumed greater consistency .and it becamo an open secret that Lady Brooke's reputation was at stake. No less than H co-resnondents were named, amanc them. ns usual, the nay Prince, the Duke of Marl- DorougB.ana even . juora lianqQlph.C'DuratmJ, Thd affair waS hushed up, and the onjynmn. who saved his reputation in the matter was iioru jtanuoipu uanronm. The rest carried the stigma of the affair until the scandal, like many others, had died out. It seemed then but little short of a miracle that the pure, sweet, simple girl who but a few years ago appeared to be tho essence of truth, goodness and purity, should bo brought Into court with no less than U co-respondents go shortly after her marriage. Another Interesting fact is that Lady Brooke was an intimate friend of Lady Colin Campbell. Tho foul air which infests the circle of her intimate acquaintances and the unmanliness of her lord and master have certainly much to do with the vagaries and eccentricities of her present life. Ever since this beautiful, and in some ways talented, woman became prominent in so ciety she has been the puhlio leader of a very fast set at London, Ascot, Sandown and Goodwood. Known as the Lady Plunger. In racing circles she is known as the "lady plunger," nnd many a "booky" has gone homo with bis pockets filled with crisp bank, notes after her ladyship hns had a bad day. Somo years ago sho spent the season at Monte Carlo, and thero, too, she was snid to havo lost a largo amount of her father's wealth. The real causo whyLord Brooke did not push tho divorce caso above referred to has nevorbeen known, but it was hinted that the old Earl of Warwick objected to having his untarnished name dragged into court. Apart from this. Lord' Brooke's next brother. Captain Fuike GrevUle, was acting as bear-leader to the Prince of Wales' eldest son, and it is likely that a good deal of influ ence was brought to bear upon the heir of Warwick Castle from that quarter. Further more, Lady Brooke's stepfather, the Earl of Rosslyn, was Captain of the Corps of Gentle-men-at-Arms, and ho Is one of the most con spicuous figures of London society. An ex cellent sportsman and an execrable poet, he has the highest opinion of himself. He is, however, not popular, and is often sneered at. His sister is married to Count Munsfer, the German Ambassador at Paris. THE PARNELL-O'SHEA SCANDAL. Both the Principals Subpoenaed as Wit nesses in a Libel Suit Over It, BT CABLE TO THE DJSPATCII. Dublin, Juno 17. The Court of Oueo i's Bench has granted subpeenas for Sir. P r nell and Mrs. O'Shca, as witnesses f i r tin defense in an action for libel brought bj Mr Henry Campbell, M.

The Times correspond ent in Calcutta, telegraphs that the Agricul tural Department has issued a note discuss ing the apprehensions recently expressed ia some quarters that thero would bo a grea increase in the export of wheat this year and a rise in price, which would lead- to draining the oountry of the food required by the people, and would be likely to produce calamity if it were not prohibited. On a review of tho whole case, the Govern ment considers the alarm to be at least pre mature, as prices are no longer rising, nor are exports increasing: that even if exports continue to increase, there would be no real cause for apprehension, and that if an emer gency should arise by the failure of the mon soons, still a proposal to interforo with trado would bo imnroter and uaeleaH? ami thnfc ri. pletionof the food supply should bo reme wu uj jLUju(iuiumy.

A 7 a, :a THREE CENTS. SEEKS TOSETTLE IT, Mayor Gourley to See the Leaders on Both Sides of the Builders' Strike, TO BED, G.-AB0UT A MEETING He Thinks a Settlement Can be 3Iade if the Officials Meet. OVERTURES ALREADY APYAXCED. A leading Unionist Made an Unsnccessfal Offer to tho Masters. OEGAJilZED LABOR WILL TAKE AHASD Mayor Gourley said last evening that ha would communicate this morning with Presi dent Barnes, of the Builders' Exohange, and Special Agent A. M- Swartz, of tho Strike Committee, with the view of ascertaining whether a conference cannot be arranged between the respective sides looking to a settlement of tho strike. His Honor has been informed that a meet ing between the masters and journeymen might result in a compromiso Dcing arrived at, nnd since neither sido seemed disposed to make the first advance, be considered ho should be justified, as Mayor, in seeking to end a strike whioh was exerting sueh a depressing effect on tho trade of the city. He did not know whether he would be successful, but he was willing to suggest a conference in his own room,and himself preside, if It would help toward con cluding the struggle. If the Mayor brings about the conference and there is scarcely a doubt he will bo suc cessful in effecting a purpose which citizens havo desired to sea brought about for soma time evon should it fall to terminate tho matter, it will have the result of clearly placing before the public tho dispositions of each side, and enable tho public mind to jucto for itself as to whien side has tha strongest argument in support of its posi tion. w It WU1 Place the Responsibility. If a conference should not be effected tho responsibility for continuing tho di. astrous struggle will rest on the sido which refuses to abide by a compromise, and the public will know where to lend its sym pathy and support. It is understood that both sides are willing to meet in'a discus sion on tho points in dispute, but neither seems willing to approach the other with this purpose The master carpenters have said that they havo nothing to suggest toward a compromise. They have declared they will not accede to other terms than those laid down: the old year's scale, the indenturing" of all apprentices nnder tho law, and liberty to employ any man whether union or non-union. Their arguments in support of this position have been so frequently published in-Tits Dispatch as to need no repetition now. In this position the master carpenters are supported by tha other master tradesmen, as members of the Exchange, but it is said that there is a strong individual opinion among the latter that the master carpenters might mako a concession if approached in a friendly spirit by tho ITlffTl- -St aras ascertained yesterdViy that over- iuiua (iblo uuu? uj uiu uju'i to um inasiera somo time ago which exhibits tha Journeymen in the light of seeking to effect a settlement; thereby disposing of tho charge made against them of refusing con ference. A Dispatch reporter was Informed in a very reliable quarter that the men, caused overtures to be made to the masters through the official of an organiza tion not connected with the trade. These wero, in effect, that they "would be -willing to accept S0J4 cents per hour for eight hours' work. In other words the men were willing to return to work at M 44 per day of eight hours in lieu of the $2 7S for nine hours in voguo last year. The reply to this withdrawal from tne demand of i cents per hour and eight hours' work,was an unconditional refusal. Since then it has been a disputed point which sldo refused to join in a conference with the other. The effect of the refusal would bo to show that the masters will not listen to any concessions, but if the Mayor succeeds in bringing about a conference there is just a possibility of matters being straightened out. Both Sides Are Ready to Confer. The leaders of tho men are willing to Join in a discussion of the merits of tho case, and the plasterers, painters, tinners and other tradesmen effected are anxious to seo some thing done because they are all suffering by its continuance. Some of these are apt to blame the carjienters' committee for not trying to effect a settlement with the mas ters, and declare that the carpenters should show somo consideration for tho other trades involved. Should tho Mayor's conference be a failure nothing can avert a very bitter fight. On the other hand is a solidified body of em ployers pledged to each other to run their business as they choose, to break up dicta tion by organizations, and to refuse any con cessions in wages, or hours. This is the first time master builders have ever entered tho field in earnest against their men, and they are credited with being really determined to light this question to a finish. They have money behind them and the support of tho moneyed interest, and they can afford to keep idle for an indefinite period. They regard the year's trade as ruined, and they are not being pushed for the completion of tho work placed in their bauds. On the other hand are the carpen ters' unions, which bae entered upon a struggle in which they havo neither tha sympathy nor financial support of the Phila delphia officials, noru strong exchequer to tide them over a long struggle. Many of tho men have applied to their old employers for temporary relief and been accommodated in a good many cases. Into this fight tbey have brought other craftsmen affiliated with the Building Trades Council. Two very im portant items of news were learned yester day. One was that the carpenters are com mitted to eight hours, and no matter what suggestions are made toward a compromise this point will bo maintained; and the sec ond was that tho labor organizations of AHe fheny county are likely to tako a hand in he deal. -The forerunner of this movement will bo a mass meeting to be held in Lafay ette Hall to-morrow, at which some promi nent officials will speak. 'What Labor Leaders Believe, The labor unions are beginning to rccognizs that the war of the masters is as much a fight against organizations as againgst the demands emanating from them, and tbey feel it inoumbent upon them to support unionism in Allegheny county especially when the unions making the fight are do- pendent for sympathy and financial support from within Allegheny. A gentleman, whoso veracity is unques tioned, stated yesterday he knew of a caso where a member of the Exchange offered a skilled carpenter an advance of $10 if ha would go to work, and the man refused. Then an effort was made to get him to sign a contract to work at eight hours, also at an advanoe, but this was also refused. Another gontlcmnn stated he know a carpenter, whoso name is withheld, who assured him he had been refused a shave by a barber at tho Instance ot members of tho Exchange. These statements cod, bo verified if denied. Dnring tho six weeks the strike has lasted a sum of $319, 7(0 has been lost to the 4,300 men whom the Strike Committee say aro idle. If these men received the strike benefits of $0 per week, they would have been paid about $317,000 in the same time. This sum is only a small fraction of the amount of money which has beon diyorted from the ordinary channels of trade. American Mechanical Engineers, rnoviDENci, R. I., June 17.
