tFKCSI A STAFT COKItESrOVBEST.1
Washington, Aug. 1. It is asserted
in some quarters that the name of Mr.
Blaine was put to the front originally in
wmection with the Presidency merely for
Hie purpose of diverting attention from
Harrison, and as an assurance that the Pres
ident nould not secure a renomination with
out a struggle. To the surprise of those
w1k had a leading hand in this strategic
movement, the old-time furor for Blaine
toon heiau to break out, and there could be
no mistake that the name was as powerful
to conjure with as at any time in all the
years since it became a factor in Prebidental
interests.
From the Southern States came assur
ances of solid delegations, and these were
chGed from Maine to California. The
whole Pacific coast is pledged by the lead
ers, and the new Jsorthwest is asserted to
be a unit for the Plumed Knight. Instead,
therefore, of merely playing Blaine as a
foil to Harrison, it will doubtless turn out
that he ill be made" the candidate of the
anti-Harrison men, who had thought that
bis ill healthand his association with Harri-j-on
in the Cabinet had pUeed him out of'
the question as a candidate in fact.
ir BLAISE WOULD LIFT A PINGER.
The gennral opinion among leading Be
publicans conversed with to-day on the
matter is that it all depends upon Mr.
Blaine himself. If he remains quiet and
refrains from absolutely refusing to permit
hit name to be used, if he does not declare
formally that he will not accept if nomi
nated, he is certain to see a repetition in
the con entinn next year of the, scenes- vf
1S8S, which, were only checked in time to
prevent his nomination by a cable .message
from him to the Maine delegation, demand
ing the withdrawal of his name. If
he prove able to return 10 his
duties the 1st oi October, which is
the date when he has been accusto'med
to end his summer recreation, and jf he
maintain the health which he must have to
do this, the question ot Ms physical con
dition is not likely to be an obstacle in the
way of his nomination. "Were he to lift his
finger as a sign that he would accept the
nomination, there is no question in the
wind pf anyone that he woidd have the
delegations of at least three-fourths of the
States of the Union. In default of such
t-ign, his friends and the opponents of Har
rison 'nili accept silence as acquiescence.
sure to be two factions .
It is expected by a mass of Bepublicans
here that it will become evident in a short
time that the most careful, systematic plan
13 on foot to encompass the nomination of
Blaine, and that when this becomes evident
to all, Mr. Blaine will be compelled to say
no. unless he has decided to remain quiet
through all and leave affairs to his friends.
There is no longer any doubt that there
will be two strong factions in the party.
The President, with all the official machin
crv that he can command, will work for a
renomination, and the real manipulators of
the party machinery at large will use all
their joers to defeat these aspirations.
What is the matter -with Harrison?
Tltat is a conundrum.
To say that opposition to him is composed
only of the persons who were refused offices,
and of the managing politicians who could
not always secure the appointment of their
lieutenants to office w hen they wanted them,
would be far from the truth. There is some
thing "occult" about this matter. It is
really unfathomable. It does not grow in
Fpots. It spreads all ocr. It is yet only
half developed.
A REGULAR AVALANCHE OF 01TOSITION.
"You will sec that the anti-Harrison
boom will toon begin to rumble away up
near the apex of things political within
the party, and tnat with the passing away
of the spring frosts the landslide will gather
strength amazingly, and at last go thunder
ing don n into the green and placid valley
ot administration confidence w ith the re
Fistless force of the Swiss avalanche. At
least this is the opinion of some of the as
tutest politicians of the country, privates
expressed. "Wliat is the matter with Harrison?
Let us lake a glance at the surface of
thing ifne can't dive to the profoundest
depths of the mystery.
To begin ith,hc has set himself up as be
ing all-wise about appointments. Instead
of accepting the dictum of the natural local
and State Czars in regard to the political
Fpoils, he has attempted the role of a uni
versal czar and do the whole business hiin
b If. He seemed to be suspicious that every
fellow who attempted to control appoint
ments had a prhate ax to grind, never re
flecting that he himself had the biggest and
broadest prhate a of the whole lot, and
ua fairly aching all over with the exertion
of holding it hard on the grindstone of offi
cial power.
ntEbXDEXT HARRISON IS TOO COLD.
But this ignoring of the withes of the
politicians who had made him President
was one of the lea;t of his offenses. His
grand crime is indescribable. I can't
analyze it, but can only describe in a faint
and in doing so I want to say that I have a
MATTEH 0
WARMTH
great respect, and even admiration, for Mr.
Harrison. I merely give the outline of a
great truth, so subtle in its elements that it
is impossible to wholly grasp it.
It is w ith deep regret it must be said that
Harrison has no real friends, Even those
who are closest to him politically and offi
cially, and who have received greatest
favors at his hands, are less than half
hearted in their friendship. They respect
him, but he repels them in spite ot their
efforts to like him. Around him is an at
mosphere that tender and sympathetic men
do not like to breathe. Intensely human
men feel their hearts chilled when they
come in contact with him. He seems to
them to be composed of an unimpression
ablefibcr, susceptible to neither heat nor
cold. He is to them in his imperturba'
bilitv a replica of the statues of his ances
tors reposing in unbending marble on their
granite pedestals. He looks to them as
though he w ould break his heart if he bent
hisbody.
RESERVE MAT DOESN'T GO IN AMERICA.
This frigidity, this cribbed and cabined
eelf-wallcd-m and iortified against all hu
man approach, this un-American reserve, is
not for the active and practical politician,
not for the rough-and-ready voter of this
cosmopolitan and democratic republic. To
me all this is of little moment, for I have
small use for Presidents, hot or cold; but to
the moving, living public, which yet be
lieves that a Senate should watch the House,
and the President watch the Senate and
House, to keep the real representatives of
the people from being infernal scoundrels,
whether they have a President with human
blood in his veins is of vast importance,
judging from the opinion one hears on all
sides.
It is impossible that such a President
should imbue his party with enthusiasm.
Of the highest integrity that one can be
possessed of who goes into a business where
promises are usually false as dicers oaths;
honest as one who can be who is the creature
of a dishonest governmental system; so or
thodox in his religion that he cares not
what becomes of a man in this world so that
he does not go to hell in the next, Mr.
Harrison has had absolutely no magnetic
effect upon his party, and the common
voters who ask no office have cooled towards
him as the politicians have.
AN "UNFORTUNATE HERITAGE.
It is not his fault, but simply his unfor
tunate heritage. His ancestors were of the
cool Xorfh and were conceived in wintry
weather. He does not mean to freeze peo
ple, but he does it and can't help it. These
apparently little things, these things that
appear to have nothing to do with one's
popularity, have unmade kings and they
bid fair to undo Mr. Harrison. As to
moral character no one has a word
to sav against him. His official acts
are all probably as nearly beyond
criticism as those of any of his predecessors,
and he has shown an ability to grasp public
affairs of which any of them might be proud.
But he has frozen "the life out of the party,
and there is scarcely one of the officials ap
pointed by him to office but savs to his
other self, "if not to the great public, that
his hope for the Bepublicans is in the nom
ination ot one who w ill warm up the slug
gish party heart, shake from its lethargy
the dormant spirit of the prostrate body,
and himself lead his followers in the thick
est of the battle, every soldier burning to
die for him and the cause, closing in solid
phalanx around him as did the warriors of
white-plumed Henry of Xavarre.
Mr. Harrison may need but a hint to
bring him to the front the man for the oc
casion, but at present, while he is sporting
in the surf of the blue Atlantic, he is in
nrticulo mortis politically, if the universal
expression of bis party associates be not a
delusion of their brains. He has yet the
advantage in the shuffle if he will but awake
and show some of the enthusiasm that so
well becomes a great leader and is insepar
able from him. If he fail he will, like his
predecessor of the Orient, be turned out
to grass.
MOB BTJLE AT A CONVENTION.
-The HUlcr and Piatt Factions in Seneca
County, New York, Have a Bow.
TSrECIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCn. 1
Oswego, Aug. 1. Xevcr in the history
of Seneca county has there been held such
an exciting Bepublican County Convention
as that of to-day at Bomulus. At the point
of a pistol Deputy SheriffXicholson pre
vented the Miller men from battering
down the doors leading to the convention
hall. The fight was between the Miller
and Piatt factions. The Miller crowd was
lead by Mr. Patterson, the millionaire man
ufacturer of Waterloo, and the Piatt faction
by J. H. Mongin, partner of ex-Senator
Sweet. The con- ention was for the purpose
of naming delegates to the State judicial
and Senatorial conventions. Last night the
delegates began to arrive. At 11 o'clock to
dav a meeting of the County Committee was
called in the hall Twelve o'clock was the
hour named for the opening of the County
Convention.
A lew minutes before that hour loud
cheering was heard, and the Miller men be
gan to realize that the Piatt men were in
session. They tried the front doors, but
they were barred. The cry was sent tip
"batter in the doors." A big plankwas
obtained and used for a battering ram. As
the doors viclded to the bloVs, Deputy
Sheriff Xicholson jumped upon a box and,
drawing and cocking his revolver, leveled
it at the ring leaders and threatened to
shoot if they did not desist. The ram was
abandoned, and as the crowd turned to leave,
Colonel Manning called for an open air con
vention. "We will meet at the point of the pistol,"
he cried out dramatically, and the Miller
Patterson crowd surrounded him. There
was no roll call or credentials of any kind
and the mob voted. The excitement giew
and the crowd on the outside stoned the
building to their heart's content, breaking
nearly all of the windows.
WHAT ELKINS SAYS OF BLAINE.
The riumed Knight Xs in Better Health
Than He Has Been for Years.
tEPLCIAL TELEGBAM TO THE DISPATCn.
Bedford, Aug. 1. Steve Elkins, who is
perhaps as close to James G. Blaine, both
socially aad politically, as any other man in
the country, left here to-day. Mr. Elkins
was seen at the station and asked about the
health of Mr. Blather His reply was that
at the present time Mr. Blaine was in better
health than for tome years back. He said
that all Mr. Blaine needed was rest.
In reply .to the question as to whether he
thought Mr. Blaine would be a candidate
for the Presidency, and whether he thought
Mr. Blaine would accept, if nominated, Mr.
Elkins asked that he be excused from an
swering the questions, and requested that
the reporters be particular to rtport him in
the matter correctly.

"SPECIAL TFLEGBAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Springfield, O., Aug. 1. CoL A. L.
Conger, of the National Bepublican Com
mittee, has just returned. He talked about
Blaine in a little different vein from that
of his interviews recently published. He
said: "I saw Mr. Blaine three times dur-'
ing my stay at Bar Harbor. He is coming
out in good shape and will get w elk At
the close of his vacation he will return to
Washington in excellent health. Twici
he called at my hotel, and was able
I to get around without assistance."
I was gratified to find him so much better
in health and appearanc e than I had been
led to believe from -published reports which
I am now satisfied were much exaggerated.
Of course he broke down in health, but he
is recuperating and will live for years."
Colonel Conger added: "A strong opinion
prevails that Blaine will be nominated, but
it is too long before the convention to make
guesses. He can have the nomination in
i892 if he wants it or will accept it, but that
is so far in advance that many things may
j et arise to influence the result."

this morning. He left his son Dick and

The Senator does not go direct to Beaver,
but will spend to-morrow at Senator Cam
eron's farm at Donegal as the guest of the
senior Senator.
Quay's movement in calling on Cameron
is the theme for a great deal of speculation.
The talk ofjjuay's resignation being simply
a Blaine movement has become more lively
and more pronounced. The senior Senator's
well known feeling against the President
forms no little part of the talk. What he
and Quay will talkabout nobody knows, but
those "in the know" feel that Blaine's can
didacy will be the main topic of discussion.
"Dick" Quay left to-night on the 9.20 for
the West. He is said to be going direct to
his home in Beaver. As usual, he knew
absolutely nothing about his father's move
ments, and when questioned knew less,
apparently, about politics than any man in
Pennsylvania. The Senator, after his con
ference with Don Cameron, will go to
Beaver and will not return East until the
10th of the month. He will then come to
Philadelphia on his way to Jf ew York to
meet his children, who return from Europe
on the 12th.
State Chairman William H. Andrews
spent a somewhat busy day to-day meeting
and conferring with leaders of afl degrees.
He left this evening for his home at Titus
villc. Before going he said that there was
absolutely nothing new in politics. He ex
pected that he would find Senator Quay's
resignation in his mail on his return. He
said that he had not read City Treasurer
Wright's letter exposing the methods of
collecting delinquent mercantile taxes. He
did not know who" Mr. Wright was, and had
not even heard of the letter. After Chair
man Andrews' 'departure the politicians
found that there was nothing mora down
town to interest them, and the lobby of the
Continental resumed its normal "appear

rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCn.
Philadelphia, Aug.L Ex-State Sena
tor LewisEmery, of McKean, was in the city
to-day, having stopped off on his way home
from New York, where he has been to see
his wife and daughter, Miss Grace Emery,
off on a two months' trip to Europe. The
McKean Independent intended to spend
Sunday in Cape May, but, owing to illness,
changed his mind, and concluded that a
Philadelphia hotel and the adviceand pre--scription
of a Philadelphia physician were
What he needed most.
When asked about politics in the oil fe
gion, Mr. Emery said there was very little,
interest being taken at present. The oil
men, he said, did not enthuse over the can
didacy of Speaker Thompson for the State
Treasurership. as they regarded his support
of the Burdick oil pipe bill during the last
session of the Legislature as entirely too
lukewarm for a man representing an oil con
stituency. Mr. Emery is a member of the State
World's Fair Commission, and will see to it
that the great oil industry of Pennsylvania
is not lost sight of when the world comes to
see the big show at Chicago in 1893. He
will leave for home Monday, probably.

Big Demonstration at the Indianapolis Be-,

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Indianapolis, Aug. 1. The Bepublican
City Convention met to-day. Many of the
old-time workers were absent. W. W.
Herod, an attorney of fair equipment, was
nominated for Mayor. The present Mayor,
SullU an, was elected two years ago over
General John Coburn by almost 2,000 ma
jority. So that in the absence of crooked
ballot box methods, Mr. Herod stands very
little chance of an election.
Although noisy bevond comparison at
times, taken as a whole it was a very tame
convention. The only real enthusiasm was
when Blaine's name was mentioned. The
administration "was in it" just a little bit.
Postmaster Thompson, District Attorney
Chambers, Deputy Cochran, and other
Federal officers formed a background on
the stage. When Blaine's name was men
tioned by the Chairman it was greeted up
roariously, and three cheers and a tiger
were given with a w ill, and although Har
rison's name was enthusiastically received
it was evident that Blaine was the favorite
of the convention.

CAUSED BY A SERVANTS' QUARREL
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Croton Landing, N. Y., Aug. L L
Newton Baker, the private secretary of
Colonel Eobert G. Ingersoll, and OrvilleM.
Anderson, who was, until recently, the New
York agent of the Louisville Gas Company,
drew revolvers on each other in the road,
within sight of th&r homes, to-night. An
derson shot Baker four times, and Baker
will probably die.
The men are well known both here and
throughout the county. Mr. Baker is a
lawyer. They both live in the Moody
homestead, a handsome old-fashioned frame
house, standing a half mile away from the
village on a bluff overlooking the Hudson.
The house is rented by Mr. Anderson. His
family consists of his wife and a little
niece 5 years old and several servants. The
house is the largest in the neighborhood,
and sooniafter Mr. Anderson moved intoit
he made up his mind to sublet a part of it.
Mr. Baker was a good friend of his then.
He used often to meet Anderson in New
York and dine with him. Baker was not
suited with the house he lived in, and An
derson invited him to take half of the big
house. Baker consented. Baker's family
consisted of his wife and a child, and he also
has servants.
BEGAN FROM A SERVANTS' QUARREL.
The families got along well together for a
time. As nearly as can be learned to-night
the servants of the two families got to quar
reling among themselves. They complained
to their mistresses. Mrs. Baker and Mrs.
Anderson took sides and quarreled.
They in turn complained to their
husbands. At first the men laughed
at the trouble,but in time there came a cool
ness between them and finally they joined
in the quarrel, and had many heated dis
putes. Often they nearly came to blows,
and then, it is said, they would threaten to
kill each other at the first provocation.
Baker started for New York early to-day
and did not see Anderson before he left.
Anderson spent the day in the village.
Baker came home on the 6 o'clock train
and started up the road toward his home.
The road leads through a wood. About
the time the train from New York
reached here Anderson started from his
house to walk down to the village. He was
not out of sight of the house when he met
Baker. The larger part of the account of
the meeting that follows was derived from
Anderson. When they met Baker said:
"Anderson, I would -like to have a talk
with you about our family differences, and
see if we can't adjust matters and avoid
family quarrels. I am averse to squabbles,
and want to live in peace and happiness."
MRS. BAKER CAME TO MEET THEM.
Anderson stopped, and the two men
started up the road toward their home.
They had not proceeded far when they per
ceived Mrs. Baker coming toward them.
Thev had stopped and were talking over
the family troubles. When Anderson left
the house, Mrs. Baker, who was
standing at the window, saw him,
and knowing that he and her husband
-vfouldmeet on.theio'ad and would Jbejikp-ly'toiarea'dispute,"-
started after Andcr,
son to meet her hnsband and walk home
with him, so that the two men shouldn't
quarrel and come to blows. When she was
within a few feet of her husband she called to
him to toin her and go home. Baker an
swered nis wife's call by saying: "I will
be there in a minute." With that, Mrs.
Baker approached thetwo men, and address
ing her husband, said: "While you were
absent this morning that man (pointing to
Anderson) stared at me in an ungentle
manly manner, and in his actions and con
duct insulted me. He did not address me,
but laughed in a daring and sarcastic man
ner." Baker then turned to Anderson and said:
"That was an insult to my wife, and I, as a
husband, cannot allow this."
THE WIFE SHIELDED HER HUSBAND.
Baker, it is said, then reached to his hip
pocket and drew out a 22-caliber revolver.
Anderson observing Baker's move
ments, also drew his weapon, which
was a 32-caliber Smith & Wesson.
When Baker drew his revolver Anderson
stepped back about six feet and turned
aside, fearing that Baker would shoot be
fore he could draw his own weapon. As
both men drew their revolvers Mrs.
Baker sprang between them, and,
rushing toward her husband, threw
her arms about his neck, and
tried to shield him from Anderson's bul
lets. Baker tried to shoot, but was pre
vented from doing so by his wife clingingto
him. Anderson was also afraid to shoot,
fearing that he would hit Mrs. Baker.
Anderson, considering that Baker had the
advantage of him by being shielded by a
woman, retreated some distance and took
refuge behind a tree. While Baker and his
wife were struggling, Anderson suddenly
closed in upon the two and grappled with
Baker. Mrs. Baker swooned.
DELIBERATELY FILLED HIM WITH LEAD.
The two men clung to each other for a few
moments, when Anderson suddenly broke
away from his opponent, quickly stepped
back a couple of paces and, raising his re
volver, fired at Baker. He says that Baker
n as about to raise his arm to shoot. Ander
son's bullet struck Baker's right arm,
breaking it. Baker's weapon fell from his
hand. Anderson then fired three shots in
rapid succession. The second shot struck
Baker on the forehead, making a glancing
wound. The third bullet entered the left
side just below the heart, and the fourth
bullet pierced the right side. Baker
dropped to the ground mortally wounded,
and begged Anderson not to shoot again.
When Anderson saw his enemy lying
upon the ground he coolly put his revolver
in his pocket and walked home, leaving
Baker and his half-crazed wife in the
road.
Mrs. Baker called for help and her
wounded husband was taken to the same
house to which Anderson preceded him.
' SAYS ANDERSON DREW FIRST.
Drs. Byington and Acker were hastily
summoned and after examining Baker's
wounds, pronounced them mortal and said
he could not survive. Anderson was ar
rested. Upon the statement of the doctors
that Baker could not live Coroner Sutton
was summoned and took an ante
mortem statement. Coroner Sutton
had Anderson locked up in the
village police station to await the result of
Baker's injuries. At U o'clock to-night
Baker was sinking, and the doctors feared
that he would not live until morning. In
case Baker should die to-night Coroner Sut
ton will hold an inquest to-morrow after
noon. Anderson is CO years old and Baker is 40
years old. Anderson w as seen by a reporter
to-night and told much the same story as
related above. His declaration that Baker
drew a revolver first is contradicted by
Baker, who, in his statement to the Coro
ner, says Anderson was first to draw a
weapon.

TO SAVE ELLIOTT'S NECK.
THE BBIBEKY STOBIES AT COLUMBUS
TAKE DEFINITE FORM.
A Woman Prom Fostorla Told Juror
Peters' Wire There Was S500 In the
Case for Him if He Would Hang the
Jury The Woman's Movements.
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCn.
Columbus, O., Aug. 1. There are sensa
tional developments in the Elliott murder
case to-night which will likely lead to ar
rests. It has been indirectly charged that
certain members of the jury were ap
proached with offers of money if they would
hang the jury, and criticism ot three mem
"bers who stood out for manslaughter has
been openly made in the local press. Mrs.
Charles E. Peters, the wife of one of the
jurors, makes a startling statement, which
confirms all the stories which have been
afloat.
Peters is a brakeman on the Columbus,
Hocking Valley and Toledo Eailroad, and
in his runs has been stopping for the past
five years at the boarding house of a Mrs.
Moore, at Fostoria. Peters also has a num
ber of friends who stop at the same house,
and who reside in Columbus. Last Sunday
one week ago Mrs. Moore came to Columbus
"and stopped at the residence of Mr. Peters,
presuming on her acquaintance with Peters
as one of her boarders. Mrs. Peters states
that Mrs. Moore at once made inquiries as
to how and where she could get to see Mr.
Peters and they went together to the jury
room, but she was unable to get a consulta
tion with him because of the diligence of
the bailiff. She made the request that Mr.
Peters come home for supper on the Mon
day evening following, which was granted,
but the bailiff kept such a close watch that
she could not get a conversation with him.
Mrs. Moore confided to Mrs. Peters the
same day that she had seen a man who said
there was S500 in the case for her husband
if he would hang the jury. Mrs. Peters
refused io listen to the proposition, and was
approached by Mrs. Moore a second time
on the subject. Mrs. Moore said Mr.
Peters would not be alone in accepting the
money, as there were others going to do so.
Mrs. Moore called on Juror Peters a second
time before Bhe left the city, but was un
able to get a conversation " with him in
private.
It is expected the prosecutor will cause
the arrest of Mrs. Moore and probably oth
ers on the charge of bribery. Prosecuting
Attorney Huling went to Fostoria to-day in

learning something before the explosion.
Mrs. Moore stoutly denied the story as to
her efforts and from the best information
the prosecutor could secure the tracks of
these interested in the scheme have been
well covered. It is the intention, howe- er,
to have a thorough investigation made and
prosecute the perpetrators if proper evi

A LOCAL DICTAT0B KILLED.
Fourteen Prominent Tanners Conspire to
Murder a County Officer.
Alpena, Mich., Aug. L Sixteen years
ago Albert Molitor, known as the King of
Presquo Isle county, and his clerk, Edward
Sullivan, were mysteriously assassinated
in Molitor's office. The trouble
was supposed to have arisen from
the arbitrary manner in which Molitor
conducted his office as County Treasurer.
At the time of the murder William Bepke,
a well-to-do farmerof Sogers City, was sus

Thursday night, when the story of tho
shooting had almost died from the minds of
the people, Bepke made a confession of the
crime, implicating with him 14 of Bogers
City's best-known citizens. In his confes
sion he says the only reason the confession
was made is that ill luck has pursued him
the past few years. His children have
been drowned, his bams and houses burned
without apparent cause, his investments all
turned out bad and his horses died. All
this would not have made him confess, he
says, but of late he has been unable to sleep
nights from thinking of the crime, and he
could not stand the strain any longer. All
the people implicated will be arrested.

THE ITATA AGAIN IN TB0UBIE.
Marshal Gard Orders tho Crew to Be Taken
Ashore to Provent an Escape.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. L Louis Mar
tinez, aid de camp to General Mont, of the
Chilean insurgents, stated to-day that Mar
shal Gard, at San Diego, had ordered Capt
tain Munsen, of the Itata, to take all his
men ashore and keep them in lodging until
legal proceedings are over. The expense of
this will be very heavy, and, as the ma
chinery of the Itata has been unshipped,
this action is apparently not necessary to
prevent her running away. General Mont
has ordered Munsen not to obey the order
unless Gard brings soldiers to force com
pliance. He thinks the Marshal has exceed
ed his power in the matter.
Captain Munsen claims that the Chilean
hip Maipo, which was reported as having
foundered at sea near Iquique, has in
reality anchored in safety at the latter port.
He says the report that the Maipo foun
dered arose from a mistranslation of a press
reporter of the Spanish verb "fondear."
The true meaning of "fondear" is to anchor,
but he claims it was translated by the re
porter as meaning to founder.
AN IB0N 0BE DISC0VEBY
Near Lebanon That Makes the Deposit
There the Blchcst in the World.
SPECIAL TELEGBAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
Lebanon, Pa., Aug. 1. In making the
cxca ation for the new supply reservoir
for this city, three miles east of Cornwall,
the workmen uncovered an 18-foot vein of
iron ore. The entire ridge between the
reservoir site and Cornwall is believed to
be a mass of iron. Heretofore miners and
scientists generally estimated the value of
the Cornwall ore deposits by their great
depth, but to this must now be added cer
tainly three miles, if not more, in length,
making altogether a deposit of iron ore
the like of which for richness of assay and
volume is unequaled in the known world.
The land on which the new deposit was
found is owned .by William C. Freeman,
who is aiso largely intertstcd in the Corn
wall mines. An assay of the ore sjiows
that it contains from 65 to 70 per cent of
iron.

Tho Old Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
Onco More to the Front.
BOAT BUSINESS BOOMINQ AGAIN.
A Vast Tonnage of Coal, Grain, Hay and
the Like Carried.
OLD TEAMSTERS RECOVER THEIR JOBS
SPECIAL TELEGKAMTO THE DISPATCH.
SltEi'iiERDSTOWN, W. Va., Aug. 1. The
famous old Chesapeake and Ohio Canal has
taken a new lease of life. For the first time
since the memorable flood of June 1, 1890,
water is running through the old ditch in
sufficient volume to float boats at this point,
and business has been resumed as of yore.
For several weeks boats have been running
between Cumberland and Williamsport, and
Tuesday the water was turned in the levels
above this city for the first time. The old
canal is now ready for business from Cum
berland to Georgetown, opposite Washing
ton City, and boats have been loaded at
Cumberland to go all the way through.
THE REVIVAL A QUIET ONE.
The resumption of business along the old
waterway was effected without attracting
general attention. The start was a modest
one, owing principally to the lack of boats,
but the event is a most important one over
a large section of the country. The old
boats, many of them in a dilapidated con
dition, are being repaired as fast as they
arrive in Cumberland, and new ones are
being built and it will not be long until
hundreds of the craft are again at work.
Many of the old teamsters, who for over a
year have been employed in other pursuits,
are applying for their former jobs.
The principal tonnage of the canal con
sists in coal, grain, hay, lime and cement,
and hundreds of tons are already lying on
the quays awaiting shipment, Tne outlook
for a tremendous coal tonnage is good, and
the Baltimore and Ohio Eailroad Company
is making arrangements to transport an
enormous amount of bulky freight by the
canal to tidewater, thus greatly relieving
its congested freight trade.
THE OLD CANAL'S HISTORY.
The old Chesapeake and Ohio Canal has
an eventful history. It was begun Friday,
July 4, 1828, and a great many changes and
improvements were dv a curious coincidence
also begun or were finished on that day of
the week. Those of a superstitious turn of
mind, ascribe all the ill luck and trouble of
the old waterway to the misfortune popu
larly supposed to follow any great venture
on Friday. This superstition Has become so
generally talked of in regard to the canal,
and so much importance was attached to it
by the management, that in the restoration
of' the canal great care was taken to elim
inate Friday from any enterprise or move
ment in connection with it, and "just for
luck," the first boat was started last Tues
day with great solemnity and many myster
ious invocations by tire old boatmen
gathered to witness the event.
This canal has the unqestioned distinc
tion of being the first great work of its kind
in the United States, George Washington
being its projector and enthusiastic sup
porter. It has cost the State about $10,000,
000 up to date, and is 187 miles long, being
laid out with the most extraordinary en
gineering accuracy. There are in the entire .
length of the canal 75 locks, each built of
6olid masonry J.00 feet long by 15 wide. The
nrosneritv and emDlovment of thousands
depends on its continuance, and its resump-
entire line. A

i A Mushroom Banker Fleeces His Country
''men Out of 835,000.
SPECIAL TELEOBAM TO Till DISPATCH,
Philadelphia, Aug. L With out
stretched hands and faces contorted with
mingled sorrow and anger, over 100 Italian
laborers surrounded the closed doors of the
"BancaPopolare Italiano," No. 720 South
Seventh street, to-day, and clamored for the
return of their hard-earned money. Their
appeals were in vain. Louis Mangialetto,
the proprietor, had flown, carrying with
him all the money of the bank, and leaving
behind him two notices pasted on the out
side of the door stating that he had made an
assignment to Bichard S. Green.
Mangialetto has fled with $25,000. Mangia
letto is another ot those mushroom Italian
bankers who, trading upon the credulity of
their ignorant compatriots, have robbed
them ot all they possessed. Twelve months
ago Mangialetto was a stone mason and took
small contracts from builders with the
Erivilege of hiring his own men, upon whom
e levied contributions for obtaining them
the employment. Making money rapidly
at the lucrative business Mangialetto
leased No. 72G South Seventh street,
and added to his employment agency
the business of a banker. The
basement of his banking house was reserved
for the sleeping apartment of the men wait
ing for employment. Sometimes it con
tained as many as 50 men, who huddled to
gether there in the utmost filth. Before
taking a new man under his wing Mangia
letto stipulated that he should deposit his
savings in the "Banco Popolare" and also
pay him a certain sum for securing him
work. By this means Mangialetto built up
a fair banking business.

Two Confidence Men Cleverly Bunko Him
Out of a Hundred Dollars.
SPECIAL TELEGBAM TO THE DISPATCH.
New York, Aug. 1. Louis Gauven, a
quarryman from Canada, fell an easy victim
to confidence men while passing through the
city on his way from Williamsport, Pa., to
Fall Biver. On a Jersey City ferryboat
Gauven met a suave individual, who said his
name was John Campbell. Campbell
came up to him again in Murray
street and asked him if he was not going
to Fall Biver. Gauven said he was, and
Campbell volunteered the information that
he expected to meet his wife and child in
West street, and that they, too, were going
to Fall Biver. While they were walking
along a man came up and told Campbell that
his wife and child had gone to the boat, as
they were tired of waiting.
Finally Campbell showed Ganven a piece
of paper, which he said was a check for
$1,000, and asked Gauven to give him $100
until he could get it cashed. Gauven con
sented and gave him the money. Gauven re
lated his story to the police, and Detectives
Flynn and Carey arrested both men. At
the Tombs Police Court they were held in
Sl.500 bail each.
M0BE BANK CB00KEDNESS.
One Beason Given for the Collapse of the
Falls City National Bank.
SPECIAL TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Louisville, Aug. 1. It is said that an
action will be brought in the courts by some
of the large stockholders of the Falls City
Bank, which recently collapsed, who think
they have lost money rather through reck
less management than because of the unset
tled condition of the finances of the country.
A large stockholder said to-day that a suit
would certainly be brought against the
directors and on the bond of Major William
Tillman, the cashier, charging them with
gross negligence. It is charged that credit
was extended by the officers of the bank to
certain persons beyond the limits of con
servative banking, and that the failure was
due largely to those bad debts.
It is known that William P. Johnson is
debtor to a large amount, the sum being
placed variously at from $40,000 to 5185,000.
It is also charged that within the last few
weeks and since the attachment suit brought
?pt Johnson by the Kentucky mtiona,
his account at the Falls City Bank about
515,000.

SPECIAL TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.
New York, Aug. 1. Miss Rose Coghlan,
the actress, dressed in man's clothes and
riding man-fashion on the back of a spirited
horse, was tossed over the animal's head
last night, and came within an ace of land
ing on a barbed wire fence and of having
her face trampled by the horse. Miss Cogh
lan is spending the summer at her mother's
cottage at Fort Hamilton. Next season
she is going to appear in a play called
"Dor "JJ5ilemma," and at the end of
the s ; fitwill be necessary for her

will leap into the saddle and rjijff like a

Miss Coghlan is an experienced horse
women but she has never ridden man fashion
and to get the termination of that second act
down properly it will be necessary to prac
tice. Fort Hamilton is a deserted place at
night, so she chose the night to do her prac
ticing. She had a suit of men's clothes made,
a cutaway coat and a soft hat and she could
be seen any night on the back of her horse
prancing about a potato patch in the rear of
her mother's cottage. Mr. John T. Sullivan
generally accompanied her.
Friday night she took her first long ride.
She started on her charger at 8 o'clock, and
was gone fully two hours. Mr. Sullivan
rode about 50 feet behind her. She was just
turning the corner of Marine avenue when
one of the Fort Hamilton trains turned the
corner. The engine let out an infernal
squeak. The horse reared and Miss Cogh
lan's hold on the reins slipped. The horse
leaped forward and then came down on his
knees, and at the same instant humped his
back.
Miss Coghlan shot upward and forward
and turned once in the air. Then she sat
down hard and fell over on her side. She
rolled out of the way of the horse's hoofs.
A doctor was summoned and found only
bruises.

DELEGATES FOE DALZELL,
But the Alternates Are Unalterably
Opposed to Him.
MUSHROO)! CLUBS DENOUNCED,
-And the Action-of the Executive Committee
Indorsed,
AS A-DIEECT SLAP AT THE DALZELLITE3
The fight in-the Americas-Club last even
ing resulted in a stand-off between Dalzell
and Bobinson. The Pittsburg Congressman
got the delegates to the Scrsnton Con
vention, while the Media man's
resolution knocking out mushroom
clubs was adopted, and the alternates are
anti-Dalzellites. Both sides claimed a vic
tory, the Bobinson people insisting that '
Dalzell had lost prestige by not having a
larger majority for his' delegates.
It was a red-hot meeting from start to fin
ish. Dalzell's candidates for delegate wera
Major Montooth, H. S. Paul and H. D. W.
English. Bobinson was represented by W.
W. Colville, AV. M. Gibbs and Dr. G. M.
Gladden.
The three receiving the highest number
of votes were to be the delegates, and the
other three their-alternates. Upon a ballot
the vote stood: Montooth, 77; Paul, 72;
F.nglish, 71; Colville, C7; Gibbs, 63; Glad
den, 56. This' elected as delegates the three
Dalzell constituents.
HERALDED AS A VICTORS'.
The majority for the Pittsburg Congress,
man was only 10, and, as soon as the result
was announced, telegrams were sent to
Jack Bobinson by his backers con
gratulating him on the good showing ha
made in the Pittsburger's bailiwick. They
heralded broadcast the impression that Dal
zell had been given a black eye in his own
town. On the other hand, Dalzell's people
claimed that the Americus Club is a Quay
organization, and. it- was a great
victory for him. To this the reply
was made that . the club had
suggested Dalzell for the League presi
dency long before Bobinson aspired in that
direction. It was understood that Dalzell
would receive the support of the club out cf
courtesy, and that the fact that his majority
was so small shows that he is not as strong
at home as people imagined. It was
even insinuated by some people that
the club had boomed Dalzell for the purpose
of knocking him down, and in this way
weaken his standing in the State.
HOW THE FIGHT WAS MADE.
Up until last Wednesday there wasdittle
or no opposition to Dalzell in the club. The
Quay people, with few exceptions, intended ,
to vote for Dalzell out of courtesy.
At that time Collector Warmcastle, A. G.
Boenigkand Wj-W, Colvillq found a com
bination to pass the resolution. The oppo
sition was headed by the Collector on the
quiet, and members of the club in Western
Pennsylvania were drummed into line.
While working for the resolution
they incidentally put in a good
word for Boblnson's delegates."
The Dalzell people were ignorant
of the fight until early yesterday morning,
when they went to work in earnest to coun
teract the work of his opponents. The
telephone was used freely to notify indiffer-
ent members of what was going on, and
there was a grand rally in the evening.
Assistant Postmaster A. J. Edwards, who
is a Dalzell man, remarked last evening that
the showing made by Bobinson's delegates
was due to Warmcastle's leadership. "X
suspected something was going on," he con
tinued, "but our people thought they had a
sure thing and laid back on their oars. I
wouldn't have been surprised at all if we
had lost the delegates. We deserved to b
beaten after the listless manner in which
our canvass was conducted."
ONLY FOUGHT MUSHROOM CLUBS.
Win Colville, one of Bobinson's delegates,
said that up until Wednesday morning ho
had no intention of working against Dauell
when he was drawn into the combination.
He added that Collector Warmcastle was
only interested in carrying the resolution
against mushroom clubs, and that he solic
ited no one to vote for Bobinson's delegates.
Following the election came the introduc
tion of a resolution by S. D. Warmcastle.
It read as follows:
Whereas, The Kepnblican League of
Pennsylvania is threatened with dishonor
and disruption by tho organization of
"mushroom" clubs, which are not founded
for party good, and whose temporary ex
istence can only serve to canse dissension
and discontent in the ranks of the Bepubli
can party; and
i Wuereas, The Americus Bepublican Club,
proud of its past history in the Organization
of the league, and sensitive of its honor as
the oldest member of thoRepublican League'
of Pennsylvania and the United States, de
plores the existence of such an evil; there
fore, be it
Resolved, That we most heartily Indorse
the action of the Executive Committee of
the Republican State League in discounten
nnclng such a practice and guarding the in
terests of the Republican cinbs which have
been in the past, and will be in the future,
organized in gqod faith and honest purpose.
CARRIED BY TTIE ABSENTEES.
After the hottest kind of a discussion
these resolutions were carried by a vote of.
Ci for and 51 against. The vote for dele-,
gates was 138, but only 112 cast their bal
lots on the motion. The other 26 sat in
their seats and never moved. Jt was
claimed that some had left the hall when
the result of the election was announced,
and that thev were not "interested in tho
fate of the resolutions. Mr. Col
ville denies this. He said he
watched the members closely and nobody
left the room. The vote was taken by raising
the hand, and it was said that the 26 silent
ones were afraid to show how they stood on
the resolution. They were friendly to Dal
zell and Warmcastle, and had no desire to
offend either. This explanation was offered
by several members to account for the'
action of the the fearful 26. Collector
Warmcastle, L W. Patterson and Colonel
W. H. Beed spoke for the resolutions. W. f
A. Magee, A. J. Edwards, Captain John A.
Beed,W. H. Keech and Joseph Andtews
opposed them.
Collector Warmcastle urged that
in organizing mushroom clubs
the dollar was dominant. He hod
no objections to Bepublicans organiz
ing for the good of the party and joining
the league. This is what they wanted. He
charged the Dalzell people with flooding the
State with solicitors, who were starting
temporary clubs in his favor. This sort of
thing would reflect on the league, and itij
Kept up would result in tne aeatn oi mm
organization. i
A. J. Edwards objected to the word;
"mushroom" in the resolutions. He said it;
did not appear in the? resolution passed byj
me e-Aecuuve cuuuuutce.
