New Yokk, Sept. LJudge "Walter Q. Gresham, of Chicago and Indiana, who has been enjoying a two-weeks' vacation in Connecticut, arrived at the Fifth Avenue Hotel last night and held a conference with a number of political friends ofthe Hoosier State. Those present at the conference were: Judge John M. Butler, C W. Fairbanks, General J. "W. Foster and Colonel Dan Houser, of St. Louis. It was noticeable that Colonel James K Hice, ex-Auditor of Indiana, who is at the hotel, was not in the conference. He is a great admirer of the Judge, but being a Democrat he was not invited. If the con ference had been social in its nature Colonel Bice would not have been absent. The question asked to-day was this: "Was the conference intended as 'a Gresham boom or what0" . The evidence goes to show tnat the con ference was premeditated. A week ago Otto Gresham, the bright son of the Judge, and young Oliver Morton, his political ad mirer, were in the city, and remained sev eral days. The supposition is that they arranged for the meeting last night and this morning. fnveloped ik arrsTEKr. They were mysterious and had nothing to say for publication. Three days ago they suddenly departed, not together, but one ahead of the other. This -morning Judge Gresham and General Foster had a long talk. It is known that General Foter is a friend of the President's and for that reason it is sirmised that the confer ence may have been for the purpose of coming to nn understanding about Indiana. Judge Gresham has many friends in the Hoosier Statc,but hitherto President Harri son has had the delegation. It is asserted that with the two forces together the Demo crats would have no chance whatever to win in 1892. Hon. C AY. Fairbanks, of Indianapolis, a big lawyer and several times a millionaire, lias been working for the Judge's nomina tion to the Presidency for a number of years. In 18&S he was in Chicago, and did all he could for his candidate. Not long ago hegac a great banquet in Indianapolis, where the Judee, General Alger, Colonel A. L. Conger and many other prominent Republicans met. No one has been able to find out whether the banquet was to boom the Judge, Sir. Blaine or General Alger. A SHOW OF STRENGTH. Some one who did not wish to be quoted taid the conference 1 a.t night and this morn ing was merely a preliminary skirmish, and n as intended simply to show the strength ofthe Judge. A reporter asked Mr. Fair banks if the conference Mas to boom Judge Gresham for the Presidency. Mr. Fair banks appeared to be surprised, and said it v as purely a social thing and by accident. He said- "I am in a big hurry to-day, but will see you later." Judge Gresham was very amiable, but f-aid that he could not talk politics or give an inten iew on any subject. He said he had enjoyed two weeks' rest in Connecticut and was on Ins way to Chicago. He thought he would leae to-night. General Foster was inclined to be reticent. The Indiana Democrats in the city are much interested. They are anxious to have a Kepublican row in progress in the Hoosier btate, but General Foster said that Indiana would go Kepublican by hard work. General Foster and Mr Fairbanks will be here sev eral da . DALZELL AND LINDSAY. They Call on Mayur Stuart and Size Up the Mtuatlon In the East. Pmr.ADn.vnn, Sept. 1. special.

HABRITY IN CHARGE. DEMOCRATS GATHKRING FOB-THE STATE CONVENTION. All the Leaders Seem to Have Agreed Upon Wright for Auditor General Tllden Willing to Be Treasurer Points of the Platform. Haksisbtjbq, Sept. L Special. Sec retary Harrlty, Attorney General Hensel and Chairman Kerr seem to be favorable to the nomination ot Bobert E. "Wright, of Allentown for Auditor General, and the combined support of his candidacy by these gentlemen justifies the prediction that he will get there without much difficulty. The tendency is all in that direction to-night Ah Tilden has been prominently mentioned as a candidate for the pffice to which Mr. Wright aspires, but he is understood to be willing to take the nomination for State Treasurer, and the convention on Thursday will no' doubt see that he gets the latter. Chairman Kerr said to-night that if Wright were nominated for Auditor General he would uncover the lid and expose the crook edness which has prevailed in that depart ment. His ability as a lawyer and business man, with his well-known integrity, was a guarantee that he would, if elected, conduct the office solely in the Interest of the peo ple. The Interview indicated that Mr. Kerr waa strongly in favor of the nomination of Mr. Wright. Other Democrats think, almost audibly, that as the Republicans pave the farming element no recognition on their ticket it would be policy to make a strong bid for the granger vote by nominating men possess ing the good will of the agriculturists. The argument against putting in the field a ticket of this kind is that it wonld be recog nizing a bad principle to make n discrimina tion In favor of a class, and that past ex Iierience has proved that candidates nora nated to capture the support of the grangers have failed to bring the answer. A considerable number of delegates have arrived, and all indications point to a har monious convention. Among some dele gates there Is a sentiment in favor of in troducing national issues In the platform, but the preponderance of sentiment is in favor of confining the plank to State matters. There will accordingly be no declaration for any candidate for President. An attempt may be made by the enemies of Fattlson,bnt with very little show of success. The tariff and the silver questions will be completely ignored, as the Democrats desire to keep the eyes ot the people on the corruption which has characterized the administration of the office of City Treasurer in Philadelphia, and the delinquency ot other Republicans. ChaunceyF. Black 3s here to see that the convention doe not go wrong on ihcutics. tion or a Constitutional' Convention. He wonld like to have an unqualified indorse ment of tho convention project, but he will have to be content with a resolution in favor of the restriction of its work to the abolition of the ballot number and an amendment of the suffrage provision by requiring personal registration. The platrorm will be largely made ofthe arraignment of the Kepublican party for corrupt practices in high places. MOVEMENTS OFM'KHJIEY. An Enthusiastic Reception Given the Tariff Champion at Middleport. Middleport, Sep. 1. Special Major ifc Klnley addressed a large crowd here this evening. Ho was met by a committee of representative citizens and was enthusias tically received all along the line. Major McKinley has many admirers in this section of the State, among Democrats as well as Republicans. Major McKinley's effort to night was a masterpiece and was similar in thought to other speeches delivered during the campaign. The meeting will awaken Republicans here toercateractivity. Major McKinley speaks at Pomeroy to-morrow. When Major McKinley passed through Lancaster this morning, on his way to fill the appointment here, the depot surround ings were crowded with hundreds of peo ple, who on - ery short notice had assem bled to greet lilin, accompanied bv tho Cadet Band. A stop sufficient to allow a few remarks from the candidate was made, and after being introduced by Captain J. M. Sutphen, amid the applause of the crowd, he spoke for perhaps ten minntes. He was listened to with interest, and his talk, as nellas his personal appearance, made a most favorable Impression, as was attested by the hearty reception given him.

JUST A LITTLE BEHIND. SO DISASTROUS FAILURES TET AT ATLANTIC CITY. Some Hotels Dropped Money, but Others Made" More Than Ever Before Even the Losers 'Will He on Deck Again Next Season. Atlaxtio City, Sept. 1. Special. The results of the backward season at this resort are being realized now that the August rush is over and tbe straightening out of financial affairs is in order. There are quite a number of hotels that are be hind for the season, but no disastrous failures are reported. Messrs. Neal and Hamilton, the lessees of the big United States Hotel, have wound up their affairs for the season and acknowledge a shortage, of $5, COO, mostly due to local trades people. They claim that they have oaough general supplies in the hotel to more than cover this Indebtedness, and that they will open up again next spring. Congress Hall, another large summer house, of which T. a Gillette, of Philadel phia, was tbe lessee this season, has also .-clo-Xil wltb.u.njii,debtodriestofrabcat $J,?G3. There will be a meeting of Mr. Gillette's creditors to morrow, when it is confidently expected that Coon Brothers, the Philadel phia commission merchants who own the hotel, will make a favorable arrangement to liquidate the claims. D.- H. Lewis, proprie tor of the Hotel Cambridge, is short about $5,000, but will continue and endeavor to pay up next year. Mr. Lewis was formerly pro prietor of the Hotel Cambridge, at Chester, Pa. The Ingomar is also in difficulty to the extent of f 5,003. The lessees are Carl R. Thompson & Co., of Philadelphia, and the father of the head of the firm, who is a Philadelphia business man, promises to see his son safely through his financial trouble. Hugo Herold, who has been proprietor of the Grand Union Hotel for several years, left town a day or two ago, and has not been heard from since. His wife says that al though he has had a backward season's business, he was not seriously embarrassed, and she cannot account for his mysterious disappearance. As against these few unfor tunate houses, tho earnings of all the big ocean front Tiotels and the hundreds of old established hostelries on the ocean avenues show a material increase over any former season.

The Notorious Robert Ray Hamil ton Scandal Now Revived. A PLAT WITH A MAUDLIN PLOT, In Which, the Fair Adventuress Figures as the Injured Heroine, THE PEBUT MADE IN A JERSEY VILLAGE rfrrcUL telegram to the dispatch.: Boontox, N.J., Sept. L That curious woman who calls herself Mrs. Bobert Bay Hamilton, but whom the courts decided to be Mrs. Joshua Mann, his once more Bhufiled the cards, and has made a new deal in the entertaining-if uncertain game of ad venture which she began so many years ago. In this small New Jersev town she made her debut as an actress to-night in a play embracing the centering about the inci dents of her life with Bobert Kay Hamilton. Months ago it was 'known that some one had written a play for her which was to be called "Xht Habertons," and it was bIso known that Haberton was selected because it would suggest to the publio the fact that the play wonld deal with the Bobert Bay Hamilton episode. When the famous suit was brought to such an ignominious close, and Mrs. Mann found herself known by her true name, and fully exposed in the fraudu lent child affair, she took herself out of sight She has been spending the months of retirement in restoring her shattered nerves and in developing that histrionic talent which every adventuress is confident she possesses. A FAIE ACTBESS. ' That she studied assiduously and with some intelligence was shown by her per formance to-night. Charier Gardiner, who has managed several sensational enterprises, was selected as manager for this. During the last two months rehearsals have beeu frequent almost as frequent af the changes in tne afctors. Amonc- the first moves Gard iner made was to change the title of the play. He decided that "The Habertons" was not as attractive as it might be and sub stituted "All a Mistake," relying upon the publishing of the name, Mrs. Bobert Bay Hamilton, in big black type under the title to put people in mind cf what was "Ail a Mistake." Boonton was decided upon as the place for the debut in order to giye the actress a chance to work off her stage fright bcfoie appearing before a city audience. About 250 people came out to see her in the even ing, and it may be said in the beginning that Boonton was well content with tho per formance. It was up to the Boonton aver age. To one familiar with the ruin of Bobert Ray Hamilton and tbe way in which his name was dragged through the mire, tho play was simply an additional horror. The plot is mixed, and even the violent strug gles of the author of the play to make a spot less heroine fall. Bobert Bay Hamilton is masqueraded under thb name of Roland -Livingston. Josh Mann is called Ivan Vanteck. , Evan Mann is called Ifadlne, a friendless or phan surrounded by low and vicious per sons. Nurse Donnelly may be stralnedly described in a Mrs. Preston, who is a drunken housekeeper for the Livingstons. THE MAUDLIN PLOT. To strip the characters of their names in the play, Robert Bay Hamilton Is made to meet and love Eva Mann, thereby enraging his bosom friend. Josh Mann, and his cast off sweetheart, who has no counterpart In. real life. The wicked Josh, or Tan Teck, as you please, hires a man to personate a priest and thus, when Robert Bay and Eva thfnk they are married, they are not. Eva finds out the truth through the drunken house keeper, thinks Bobert Bay has deceived Si.l unu u Hucunu iluii irriiuiuH niHmnfftr irkpv i place. They go to tbe seashore, followed by the machinations of some vlllians. The drunken housekeeper rushes in with a knife and tries to stab Eva; Bobert Bay interferes and acci dentally stabs the drunken bousekeer. Crowd rushes in, Et a takes the blame and Bobert flies which is a new and much re vised version of the story of the crime for which Eva did time in the Trenton Peniten tiary. The last act does not pretend to fol low the facts, unless It is intended as a sort of prophecy. For in it Eva is about to marry Josh, because she thinks Bobert Ray is dead, and would wish him to marry his bosom friend- But Bobert Bay comes back in the nick of time; and villlan Josh sneaks away exposed, takes poison and dies. Eva Mann certainly makes up well. Her stage presence takes ten years from her life and much of tbe hardness from her face. She has also been trained well Bat when it comes to reading the lines Eva Mann is not there at all. AN ENIKBTAININO CONTRAST. If ever a play demanded tragedy of the sky-piercing sort, this play requires it. Eva Mann expressed the tremendous passion in her gestures, while her voice had about as little excitement in it as a glass of rain water. The contrast was highly entei talning. ' Then there was the high back of a plush sofa. It offered no resting place for her elbow in a gesture of face-bnried-in-band grief, and Mrs. Mann bit her lips with wrath because tne elbow slipped and scraped down the back. When she said, "Oh, that Robert were here in the spirit," she waved her arm and body fiantlcally, but main tained an even tone set aside in good society for observations about the weather. When the cast up her eyes and tried to blush it was a cause for a far from polite titter even in the Boonton Opera House. Bnt the shame of It was sickening to those who knew the story. It would be hard to recall a similar attempt to make capital out Of disgrace and to lepay the honorable, though misdirected, kindness of a gentleman by dragging his private character in the publicity of the stage. The company is about ot the barn storming average with one or two exceptions, who are a trifle above it. Mrs. Mann's gowns would not create a sen sation in a city stage. Of them it is suffic ient to say that she wore a tea gown at a dinner where the men did all in their power to convince the audience that it was u full dress affair. THE PITTSBUEG STOOD ADJOTTENS.

"Washington, Sept ' 1. Special. "What is the matter with Egan?"isthe query on every lip at tbe State Department, and not only at the State Department but everywhere. Up to 10 o'clock to night the officials of that anxious department say that not a whisper is heard to indicate that such a person as Egan is in existence. Acting Secretary Wharton of the 8tate Department visited Acting Secretary Soley of the Navy Department to-day to get news from a Min ister of tbe State Department, but the always obliging and polite Mr. Soley could afford no consolation to the disconsolate Mi. Av hart on. It was suggested to Mr. Wharton that he ad--v ertlse offering a reward for information in regard to tbe whereabouts of one Egan, a person of stoutish build, medium size, full light brown beard, and a slight Milesian, ac cent, but the Acting Secretary hinted that if he did so tbe amount of the reward prom ised wouia do very smaii. The silence of Mr. Egan begins to grow ludicrous to others than the officials or the State Department. No explanation can be offered save that he may have been killed In the riots, or that he may have run away with Balmaceda, or that the rioters may have destroyed the telegraph wires, or a dozen other bucIi inconsequential things. The fact that information from any source is very meager excuses Egau.as any difficulty in the way of others communicating would of course extend to him. The anxiety at tbe State Department grows with every passing hour or silence, and if the later hours of tonight bring nothing the mental tension to-morrow win betiemendous. At tbe Press Club there is serious talk of forming an expedition to start out to discover the missing Minister, and practically the whole club has volun teered to go If the Department will furnish special trains, steamers, poker chips, cigars, Appolluaris, etc. THE CASE OF THE ITATA. It Is Somewhat Elucidated by the Attorney for Agent Trumbull. New York, Sept. 1. Charles R. Flint agent of the Chilean Steamship Company, has retained William W. Goodrich as counsel to proceed to Los Angeles to defend the in terest of the owners of the Itata in the suit brought by the United States against that vessel. There were three proceedings in stituted by the United States in the matter, including a libel against the vessel, a libel against the arms and criminal indictments against Mr. Trumbull, the agent of the In surgents, Geoige F. Burt the shipper ofthe aims, and another. W. M. Ivlns, counsel for George F. Burt, said: "As to the arms belonging to Trum bull, he bought them and paid for them. Whether he will claim them or not I do not know , but if I were in his place I certatnl v should. As to the ship, she belong to tho Chilean Steamship Company. Though she was seized by the insurgents the insurgent Government was never the owner." BALMACEDA BOUND FOE EUB0PE. A Paris Dispatch Say's IIo Will Embark at the rirst Opportunity. Paris, Sopt. 1.

One of His Former Business Associ ates Pushes Him to the Wall. CREDITORS TO COME OUT WHOLE. He Will Make an Assignment Before the Close of the Week. MOEE STANDABD JUDGMENTS ENTERED James A. Chambers, tbe great glass man ufacturer, has failed. He will make an as signment the latter part of the week. Who the assignee will be is still a secret known alone to Mr. Chambers. r The greater part ofthe claims will not mature before next Monday, but the assignment will be made prior to that day for the purpose of giving preference to some of the creditors. While the exact amount of the failure , could not be learned, It is stated that Mr. Chambers will be able to pay every dollar of his personal debts, but will not be able to cover his indorsements. Through his attorney, J. Scott Ferguson, he made a fight to ward off this present crisis and would have succeeded had one creditor who had a claim of about 5200,000 agreed to an extension. Mr. Ferguson was interviewed yesterday nod said;. "It is ell up with Mr. Chambers. Our last effort has felled. "We endeavored to secure an extension of time and all but one of the creditors agreed to hold ofif. You can guess who that was. His claim was for about $200,000 and was against Mr. Cham bers personally. The olalm is not yet due and no suit can be entered on It until next Monday." "What will be the amount of the assets and liabilities?" was asked. TOO EABLT TO GIVE ANT FIGURES. "Well," replied Mr. Ferguson, "that is a matter that I do not wish to state. There are too many people anxious to know that. I can only say tnat Mr. Chambers will be able to pay every dollar of his debts, 1 do not, however, believe he will be able to cover all the indorsements that he has made. If the assignment had not been precipitated he" could have pulled through. Much of the paper that he has indorsed has been for tbe Standard Plate Glass Company, of Butler, and I believe that concern will be able to pay its debts. It has a capitalization of $7SO,000 I do not know how much o'f this was paid in, but I am satisfied that tbe plan t Is worth $500,000. That amount will cover HI its debts, but I will not say that the plant will have to be sold In order to cover all the debts of the concern. The principal holders of stock in the Standard Company were W. E. Scbmertz, Sellers McKce and James Chambers. "Ido not know Just what day the assign ment will be made or who will be tne assignee, but I do know that it will be done this week so as to give some preference to creditors." From an outside source it was learned subsequently that the man who is pushing the claim of $200,000 is a person who has been closely identified with Mr Chambers in a number of enterprises. When the news ofthe failure was received on tho street it created great excitement notwithstanding the fact that it has been expeoted for some time. It had been gener ally believed that a compromise or an extension of time would be secured whereby a failure would have been averted. TWO MOEE STANDARD SUITS ENTERED. On the heels of this announcement two more suits were entered yesterday after noon on two of the notes of the Standard Plate Glass Company and indorsed by W. E. Scbmertz and J. A. Chambeis. In the United States Circuit Court, tbe Mercantile National Bank of New York entered suits against the Plate Glass Company, W. E. Schmertz and J. 'A. Champers, on a note for $5,000. It was made by tbe company March 28. 1891, payable in flvo months and indorsed bScbmertzand Chambers. When due it went to protest. In Common Fleas No. 3 tbe Central Bank of Pittsburg entered suit ngalnst J. A, Chambers to recover $2,501 C2. The amount is claimed to be due on a note for $3,000 made by the Standard Plate Glass Comoany and indorsed bv Schmertz and Chambers. When due it was urotested,. Tho meeting ofthe Standard Plate Glass Company which wascalled for the purpose of considering the advisability and fcasabil ity of Increasing the capitalization, will be held on September 22, Mr. Chambers was seen at his office yej teiday and said he was much improved in health, but could not discuss his financial affairs at the present stago of proceeding, In speaking of the Standard Company he said that he knew nothing of the meeting called for September 22. but that $759,000 T as the capital stock, and that it had been proposed at one time to increase this to $1,000,000. In answer to a query as to the disposition made of the large sums said to hae been invested in the concern, he stated that the money had been sunk in the plant as had been already explained and tho reasons for this large expenditure as published in, the Dispatcu were correct. These were that tho plant had been constructed in a very unsatisfactory manner, and had to bo re built and remodeled throughout. , H. Sellers McKee returned from New York yesterday. Before the final announcement of tho failure he refused to talkT A call was made at his home last night, but he pleaded illness nnd refused to get up. He, however, sent down word that Mr. Chambers' failure J iT . i. -vbo THE ALLIAXOE REAPER. wonld not affect his (Mr. McKee's) financial standing. AN INCREASE ILLEGAL AIXEGnENT'S PUBLIC BUILDING SITE W4141 UaIAjA vvs-i 9UU,UVV .MfiU- 7 'AS?. A Decision for All Time by Tn fi)?. partment Officials Citizens of th j'w Side Will Have o Make Up the Eilii ''""v, Difference. W A OTTtTtn'ftT Qa. 1 rdnAJifnll As- Tiuauiuiufl, cJi. i. oicwaij a- sistant Secretary Crounse to-dav submitted 'to Solicitor Hepburn, of the Treasury De partment, the question of the construction ofthe law making appropriations for the Allegheny public building. Mr. Hepburn was not long In making up his mind. He informed the Assistant Secretary that there could be no doubt in regard to the meaning of the two acts making appropriations. The first provided f 65,000 for the acquirement of the site. The second appropriated $ 33, 000 tor the beginning of building operations. There could be no increase of the amount fora site except by a new action on the part of Congress. Therefore, if the people "of Allegheny have not enough enthusiasm or local pride to supply, as Pittsburg did.and as many other cities have, the difference between the ap propriation and the amount necessafy to ac quire an eligible sight, there will remain but several undesirable bonrses to pursue. Either a site will have to be accepted which will be unsatisfactory to the city and the government.in an out of the way placo.or the matter will havejp be referred to Congress, With.tbe chanceofa refusal of an increase, or possibly a repeal of acts already passed, or an indifference to the whole matter, which will leave the law a dead letter. It is now decided filnally and for all time that only $65,000 can be used for tbe purchase of a site. Assistant Secretary Crounse is averse to investing even this amount in a Bite which would not be satisfactory to the authorities, whose duty it is to make a selec tion, nor to the public at large In Allegheny. Secretary Poster entirely agrees with his assistant. They think it better to keep the money than to use it tn the acquirement of an undesirable site. If there are any fur ther offers or suggestions from citizens of Allegheny, they are ready to hear them. Otherwise the whole matter will doubtless be plgeon-holed.at least until Congress shall meet. A HEW INSUBAKCE SCHEME, All Accident Claims Against a Hallroad As sumed by a Company. New Yobs, Sept. L Special. During 1389 no less than 113 persons were killed or maimed by the Long Island Hallroad Com pany. For Injuries to persons the road was compelled to pay that year $3D,C79 93. Other "legal expenses" took $29,835 25. The sltua: tion was not pleasant. Employes were urged to be more cautious, and so far as possible, avoid tbe accidents. Apparently the warning was given with good effect, for the year following, 1890, there was a marked decrease in tbe number of killed and wounded. More passengers, it is true, were wiped out ,of existence, but fewer employes were Injured and only a third as many peo ple were run down on the tracks. But the satisfaction of the railroad au thorities was of short duration, for the Carn ages awarded to these victims and their friends increased from $29,670 93 to $69,880. Legal expenses showed a slight Increase. May 28, 1691, there was admitted to transact business in the State tho American Casualty Insurance and Security Company, of Baltimore. This corporation was "'to transact the busi ness of making insurance upon steam boil ers, and upon pipes, engines and machinery connected therewith or operated thereby, when a exnlosion aud acLldent occurreu. and against loss or damage to life or prop erty resulting therefrom, and to make in spections of and Issue certificates of in spection npon such boilers, pipes, engines and machinery." Tbe local agents ot the company laid the matter of insuring against accident therefor before the directors ofthe Long IMand Bailrood Company, agreeing for a certain sum to assume all the functions of the claim department of tbe railroad. It Mas ugreed, in short, that the inspector should settle claims against the Long Island Company contest tnem when necessary and finally, if beaten, pay the damages. The sum for which the Casualty Company consented to do all this is said to be not less than $60,000 a year. So far as known the Long Island Bailroad is the first to try this syitem of insurance.

THE SECOND TICTDI TEET BADLY HURT A Boss' Grove picnic ended withamur der yesterday. Austen Beid, with his danc ing partner on his arm, received two fatal stabs, and as the final note of tbe music for the last set died out his life went with it. Two of Eeid's friends, who came to his as sistance, were attacked in a similar manner, and one, of tbem, Joseph J. Farbacher, fell, badly wounded. Patrick O'Malley, the wielder of tbe murderous weapon, is under arrest. He and Miss Pettigrew, whosa charms caused the deed, are locked up in the prison of Etna borough. Members of Steuben Lodge, A. P. A., of Etna, were all at Boss' Grove yesterday at tending the annual picnic of tbe organiza tion. Others came from Sharpsburg, among whom were Austen Beid, Joseph J. Far bacher and Frank Baird. O'Malley was there all day with his best lady friend, Miss Pettigrew, of Hijes' station. A CLIMAX DUE TO JEALOUSY. According to reports Beid was also some what fond of Miss Pettigrew, who is jnst 18 and fairer than manr -mutflfln- Their OiTT was not of tbe meek sort, and ' y'd out at frequent Intervals during; fit , -Matters came to a climax when, . ;n '', ck in the evening Keid secured rv "rc 'fr ed pleasure of dancing wita I f C i iui u j iiv o i V a ne last set.

Beid had preceded him, however, and O'Malley was compelled to stand by while Beid and the girl whirled about the floor. He stood watching them, following them with his eyes as they glided about. Finally when tbe dance was over and Beid had offered his arm to the young lady to lead her from the crowd, the disappointed youth could curb his jealously no longer. Stepping np to Beid he said: " V hat do you mean by taking my glrK" "Oh, go find another," Eeid replied, laugh ing. Tne words had scarcely left h!3 lip? when O'Malley, flushed with rage, sprang at him. They grappled and felkwith Beid under neath. He struggled to rise, bnt O'Mallev, with an oath,plnnged a long knife twice into his side. Farbacher and Baird, attracted by the the noise, came up Justin time to sea their companion breathe his last. They both caught O'Malley to pull him off his pros trate victim, when the Jtnlfe flashed again. ONE MAN STABBED TWICE. The first blow struck Baird on the chin. He jumped back to avoid a second blow and the knife again descended, striking Far bacher in the back. Still another plunge, landed in r'arbacher's back, sticking be tween the shoulders. Farbacher fell on the platform besids Beid and the red-handed O'Mally started coolly to walk away through, the crowd. The whole tragedy had occcured in less than a minute and Officer Foster had only had time to run to the place when O'Mally em erged from the crowd and started away. The officer caught him, however, and brought htm back. Later he had difflcnltv in saving him from violence at tbe hands of the crowd. Physicians were "soon in attendance, but Beid was dead long before they arrived. His body was taken to Holzhelmers undertaking rooms in Sharpsburg, and the other two young men who had been stabbed were taken 'to their respective homes. Officer Foster took O'Malley and Miss Pettigrew to the Etna locknpforthe night. The Coroner's Inquest on tbe case has been set for Fridar morning at 10 o'clock.
