DEATH DEALING BEPTIT.ES NEAR BY
-Yx old Pittsburgcr wlio lias a personal
knowledge of the ei puts iu question aid to
jncye.-terd.iy: "I sec Uiat :i writer in the
Piiii.Kiclpliii Ti.net ha stated .ind Thk
Disi-ATca ronuulMio the statement that
Xincolu d iivl the nomination of John-ton
lis Vice President, and opno-cd that of Han
nibal Hamlin. My recollection of tho hi-s-tory
ot the lViltimoro Convention in ISM,
wliicli includes, current newspaper talk nt
the time and what dclejates at that con
vention have tlienit-cl c told ine, is that
-wlille Lincoln did not think it expedient to
pat a Xortliora. livm HUo Hamlin on
th' ticket, he certainlj did not nrgo
or favor tho nomination of Jolm
on. Lincoln ;tho;ight that the I'nion
-eutiment in the South should have
rcjire-entatioii on the ticket, and his choico
vratue Itcv. Dr. Uo'oert .1. Breckinridge, of
Kentucky, a downright Tnion maimfthe
lii-jlit-st mental attainments and character.
Dr. Urockenrkljie a- favorably known in
Western lVnn-jlvani-i as the President of
IcHor-on (."olle-rc at Canoiwburg from 1815 to
119. He returned to hi native Mate after
re-igning hi- place at C-inonsuur-j, and
lliouh ncarliur 79 at that time wa- an active
u'-lio'der of Hie Tnion ni'isc in the dark
iiy prior to the outbreak of the Rebellion.
IVlien his nephew, senator .1. C. Brectin
liilge, espoused the t'ontederato cause Dr.
Jlreckinridge denounced him as n traitor.
o -when the convention met at Balti
more in 1-1 Dr. . Breckinridgo was
naturally a -tron-r reptcseiit:tie of the
i-outliem I'nionist-: and that he -.-.ould,
villi Lincoln'- mlor-onient, have received
l!io nomination i- probable, but ju-t before,
the convi'iitionmet he peremptorily declined
lo allott Ins name to be u-ed. Then Andrew
Johu-on wa-.icccpfedas thede-iied ebam
lm ot the loyal outli. Cougrc man John
fn'uil. oi "-oniei-et, who a- a member of the
IVmi-jivaiMa delegation tothe I'.illimort
tfirventian. onri told me that Simon Cam-,-rwn
--it bcliind him at the oonention and
that when t !ieote electing John-on nan
aiounced Cameron said: 'The llepubliean
jarty lia- made a big mi-take. "'
I'i.hing More .-opular Than Ecr.
"Tut -port of fishing never had so many
followers in l'itt-burga- at present," said a
Jlealer in li-hing tackle yesterdaj , "and it is
mi agreeable tact tliat the pot-hunters have
Oecreard a-much as the teal sportsmen
Iravr ineiva-ed. The taste iu Ashing tackle
generally has grow n higher, and the demand
Jortno betterkJnd of rods and poles, of lines
and reel, shows that ll-hlng as an ait i
jirogressing among lMttsburgcrs. The idea
tlmt w as once popular - ith so mail ,that the
3innofthe fisherman should be to see how
many C-h he could haul In in a day, has
piven way to the truer conception of
the gentle sport that makes -kill in
the throwing of a fly or in playing u game
"fi-li the true characteristic ol the li-herman.
This sjiirit shows, itself, as I have said, iu the
demand foi the finest rods, etc.: and whereas
some ear- ago w e n -ed t o sel I a good 111.1113
tuines 10-daj w e don't sell any. lot fisher
men now ha e got abo c using nets.
'How many l'ittsburgers are lisliing, or
a 111 be, this summer, should you say?"
"That's not easy to tell, but certainly the
number is up 111 the thousands. The Ashing
club- alone are an army, and then there are
-cores of famiU parties whoo main em
ployment is fishing, and hundreds ot fisher
men go off by twos and threes, or even
slnzlv, to the vurious haunts of the fisher
man." I-ittsburg's rishlng Grounds.
'-Tittsburg still has the advantage of being
-nitliin easy reach of good Ashing," contin
ued the 1'itt-burg Izaak Wnlton. "The
trout streams of Western Pennsylvania still
allord plenty of spo-t, and nearer homo
still, the Ohio contains lots of jack salmon,
ns tho army of patient fishermen you may
tec anj- day on the string piece of the Davis
Island dam will tell you. Over a hundred
1'ittsburgers have gone a-flshing in tho
Cheat Mountain region already this sum
mer, and the sport there has been good. Xot
a few find Chautauqua Lake a good fishing
ground, and of course hundreds go to tho
great lakes for the fishing. Moie and moro
of late year the lakes and streams
of Canada have tempted Pittsburg
fishermen, and this summer the clubs
and individuals that will cross the
border lor this purpose are very numerous.
11 v the w nj , a mi-conception prevails about
ine Canadian Customs House regulations as
to li-hing rod- that are carried over tho
lrontiertrom the I ulted states, tome peo
ple think that a taxot?5 is imposed on every
rod, but thai is not the ca-e. When au
.American fisherman cro-es the frontier
into Canada he is required to put up $5 with
tho customs otlleers for w Inch a receipt is
given him. as a guarantee that he does not
mean to s"ll the rod lie carries. When ho re
turns, if he still has the rod, the $5 is given
back to him. There is nothing unl'uir about
that.
"The glassw orkers, almost to a man, and
many othei s who are released for a w bile in
summer troni chop and mill, go a-flshing,
and w bile most of them arc pot-hunters to a
gieatciient there are some fine fishermen
among them, and they buy the very best of
rods and tackle, too. Latterly women havu
taken kindly to the sport, and, while few of
them es-aj the difficult nrtof lly-flshmg,
there are quite a number of fair sports
women who practice angling for amuse
ment, and to good purpo-o ns regards tho
catch. There is one w 0111:111 in Pittsburg to
my knowledge who can handle rod or gun
with equal ease, and requires no concessions
from her brother sportsmen either.
"Another tactor in the improvement iu
the sport is the gi eat 1 eduction in the price
of all the article- u-ed by the fishcrm.iu. A
rod, for instance, that used to cost $40 or $50
can now be bought for $15 or?2u. and other
thing- 111 proportion. This has brought
the finest goods within the coach of most
fishermen, and they have not been slow to
take advantage of their opportunities."
Pittsburg Has Snakes Handy.
Not everyone knew that the luxury of a
mtc iroin a copperhead snake was within
cas.v 1 each of Pittsburgors till a poor little
fellow tell a victim to one of the reptiles
last "-unday near the Little Sewickley creek,
tome thirteen miles from town. The story
of the bo ' encounter with a six-foot snake
lias been lecorded in the papers already,
"but now that the excitement has subsided a
few facts about the affair may be in place.
Tho boy was littlo Charlie Sevens, the
deaf and dumb son of a farm laborer who
lives with his lamily iu the picturesque cot
tage CI0.0 to the ic-id and the Littlo Sewick
ley, about three-quarters of a mile from
1'dgcworth. The cottage is a familiar feat
ure or one of the prettie-t views In the
favorite ride beside the Little sewickley,
and around over the Backbone to Sew ickley)
and lies at the mouth ot a glen of rare
beaut. Charlie sevens on Sunday morn
ing went with his mother into the woods
close to the house to gather berries. His
mother saw the copperhead snake alter it
laid bitten Charlie, and killed it. It was
about 2, loet long. As quickly as possible
the bo.v, who had some difficulty
in making his mother understand that he
had been bitten, went home, and there the
usual reined whisky was tried. The
wound on the leg showed onlv twosni-ill
punctures ol the skin, but tho bov'sbody
rapidly grew green and yellow, and when
Dr. -MeCready readied the house from se
wickley he lound the boy 111 a veiy danger
ous condition, since then the boy has suf
fered great agony, but yesterday it was still
hoped that he would recover.
A singular coincidence is that another
eoppcihoad was killed in the same nei"h
boriiood on Sunday by a resident of Ed" e
u orth. A few w eeks ago Air. Love, of Kdge
uorth, killed another copperhead. The
couiitr -. m-acticallv uncultivated lormiles
about the Little sewickley, and the wild
ness or the -cencry is a part of its
beaut . About eight years agoa Mrs. Kauff
man, who lived in a house a little nearer
Kdgeworth than where theSeven-cs are on
the L If si- - lekle , was bitten by a copper
head as -he was seai clung for eggs in a lien's
110M. mid died in spite of all tho doctors could
do for her. sin then the existence of
copperheads in the vallcy-of tho Sewickley
has been denied and laughed at, till now
ngain nvery ugly proof to the contrary has
been offered 01 its rcalitv. Considering the
popularity of theshadywalksandclear pools,
ine one the delight 01 lovers and tho other
of small boys, 01 this neighborhood it is rc-j-ardedns
strange thatmore encounters with
venomous reptiles have not been reported.
SCHOOL LEGISLATION DISCUSSED.
The State Teachers' Association Now in Ses
sion at lied ford.
rsrECIAI. TtLtGKAM TO THE DISrATCIt.1
Bedfoi-.d, July 7. The Stato Teacher' As
sociation opened its annual meetings hore
to-day. Thore w ere about 400 present at tho
first meeting, though that number will be
greatly augmented by to-morrow. Tho ad
dress of welcome was delivered by Hon. J.
M. Iteynolds and en-Secretary of Stato J. II.
Iongenecker. During his address Mr. Itey
nolds said that he was decidedly opposed to
a uniformity of text books. Ho believed
that better results and a moro general and
diversified education, could be attained by
using dlficreut sets of books. Ho was also
oppo-ed to compulsory education, ami
warmly commended Governor Pattison for
having vetoed that act as passed bv the last
Lcgislatmc. Prof. F. C. Lauef, of i'ittsburg,
responded.
Prof. J. P. MeClosky read the report of the
Higbee Memorial Committee, stating that
the fund already amounted to over f l.COJ.
He said that the committee to date had ex
pended $100 above the amount named in the
con-truetlon of a handsome monument nt
Kmmettslmrg. This work they piopood to
continue, and now intended to raise funds
lor the purpose b offering for sale a hand
some memorial and engraving. It is the in
tention of the committee to place one of
the-e memorials in every school that con
tributes to the fund.
The afternoon session opened with the in
augural addif-sof the President, Dr. G. 31.
Phillips, of West Chester. To-night a great
crowd ot citizens, with the several hundred
teachers, gathered in the hall to listen
to the address of ex-Governor Beaver.
The ex-Governor was heartily cheered by
tho audience. His address was character
istic, full of anecdotes and good advice.
Among hi- sayings ho advised the teachers
to have nothing more to do w ith legislation
on the subject of schools than was abso
lutely necessary. The speaker also referred
in a touching manner to the great andnoblo
work done by the country "schoolmarm"
in the cai 1 y days of log cabins, and of how
this woik w'asbeiugbro-ulcnedr.ndstrength-ened
every day by the very teacher whom
he had tac honor to number among his
auditors.
A EICH TEIANGTJLAE CASE.
Two Wives anil the Other Heirs of a Flood
Victim Suing for Insurance.
TSrECIAL Tl LEG HAM TO THE DISPATCn.l
.loiixsTOwr., July 7. An interesting suit,
the outgrow th of the flood, is on trial here.
William II. Overoeck, who was drowned iu
the flood, had his lire insured in thoXorth
w e-tern Ma-onic Aid Association in favor of
Mary H. Overbeck for $2 :0, the lady being
set lorth in the policy and application as his
wife. After the death of Overbeck 3Irs.
Jennie Overbeck, of Philadelphia, claimed
that she was the only legal w ite ol the dcid
man, and as such asked that she be paid the
insurance. The Aid Association decided the
best thing for it to do was to uav the moiicv
over lo the court and let the women light it
out there. The heirs of the dead man aro
also represented iu this triangular light.
Kach lawyer thinks he hns a case. The
woman living with Overbeck at the time
claims the pollcv was made out iu her name,
and that she had an in-urable interest in his
life. The Philadelphia woman claims she is
his legal wife, and by the wording of the
policv Is entitled to the money, and lastly,
the heir of Overbeck claim he did not in
sure his lire foi the benefit of hi legal wile,
as her name w as Jennie P., and as Mary w as
not his legal wile she is not entitled to it;
therefore, it goes to the other heirs.
OLD BRIDGES ABE TOO LIGHT.
The Brighton Railway Company Will He
build Some of Its Structures.
fBY CAULK TO THE nfl-ATCH.
Lodon, July 7. Sir John Tow ler, the cele
brated engineer and railway bridge builder,
on who-e report and inve-tigation tho
Brighton llailw ay Company has decided to
rebuild half its bridges, sas: "The bridges
w ere built of cast iron, for the older and
lighter rolling stock was in use when the
vv ork in the architecture of the structures
was done, and was then tlioroughly
adaptcd to their use and capable of endur
ing a much greater strain than it was thought
they w ould ever be subjected to."
The prcstMit locomotives, however, are so
much heavier than they used to "be that they
require a good deal stronger bridge, ,and
Fowler says they ought to be of wrought
iron or steel. The statement is likely to re
sult In an agitation by tho traveling publio
for a thorough testing of all the railway
bridges throughout the kingdom. The re
cent accident at Norwood has had a great
effect on the minds of the people, and the
Brighton Company v ill immediately rebuild
80 ot its bridges.
Haptitt Young People In Session.
Cuicaoo, July 7. Over 1,000 delegates from
the Young People's Societies of the Baptist
churches of the United States met in con
vention here to-day. Committees on Pro
gramme, Constitution, etc., were appointed.
Postal Clerks Organizing.
Chicago, July 7. A meet-ng of the railway
postal clerks of the United States will bo
held at Cincinnati, July 15, lo perfect a na
tional organization.
A Traveling Alan's Experience.
F. S. Verbcck, who represents the tvpc
foundry of Messrs. Barnhart Bros. & Sinnd
ler, Chicago, says: "On my return home
from a trip I found our little girl 6ick with
summer complaint. I went to a drug store
and procured a bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. 'We
gave her a few doses according to direc
tions. She recovered in a short time and
we were well pleased with the medicine."

THE TEAHfS TOO CLOSE T0GETHEB.,
Important Testimony at the Coroner's In
quest on the Ravenna Wreck.
Cleveland, July 7. There was important
testimony to-day before Coroner Sherman,
who is investigating tho Erie wreck at Ra
venna. Car Inspector S. O. Arnold, of Kent,
testified that the freight train left Kent al
most immediately after the passenger train
had pulled out, and that when tho frpight
was under way the express was not moro
than 00 feetaheadof it. The speed recorder
on tho freight locomotive showed that the
train ran the first three miles at the rate of
20 miles an hour, tho fourth 28 miles, and the
fifth and sixth at the rate of 30 miles an
hour. When the collision occurred it was
going 20 miles an hour.
Barney Dver, watchman at a crossing
about three miles west of the wreck, swore
that when tho freight passed him the ex
press was not more than a mile away. This
testimony, it is said, shows that the freight
had encroached at least three minutes on
the time of the express, which was running
late with a heavy train. Tho freight had
orders to run 20 miles an hour, five miles
faster than schedule time. The testimony,
also, to a large extent, exonerates Fred
Bovnton, the flagman, as It shows he had
not sufficient time to flag the freight far
enough back to stop it. The story sent out
from Pittsburg last night about 12 passen
gers being unaccounted for is emphatically
denied by Conductor Boynton, who, with his
son, the flagman, testified befoie the Coro
ner. CHABGES AGATSST THE ITATA.
Violating Neutrality Laws, Violating Naviga
tion Laws and Contempt.
Sax Diego, Cal., July 7. United States
Marshal Gard arrived from Los Angeles last
night. He has taken no action as regards
the Itata.nnd said to a press representative
this morning that the vessel would be loft
in charge of Collector Bany until United
States District Attorney Colo had prepared
papers in the case.
Tho Itnta will be held on three charges:
First, violating neutrality laws; second,
contempt In leaving while undor arrest;
third, violation of the navigation laws. The
Charleston came into harbor this morning
awaiting orders.
An Ex-State Treasurer's Second Trial.
St. Louis, July 7. The second trial of ex
Stato Treasurer Noland on the charge of
embezzling nearly $3.1.000 of Stato funds, has
been commenced in Jefferson City. From
present indications the trial will consume
all of the present week, and probably part of
next.
