How the General's Present Availability Came to Ee Discovered. PEJIOCRATIC GUBERNATORIAL BOOMS rrrosi a sTAFr coitnr.sroxDENT.i ruiLADEWuiA, Uor. 7. David Mc MurJrie Grejrs is likely to be the nest Re publican candidate for Governor of Penn sylvania. This fact, rather annoying to many, is just now dawning on the ambi tious and aspiring Republicans throughout the State. General Grecrg is a new feature in State politics. In fact, he is an unknown quantity, but his wonderful strength, devel oped in an off year when nine points in the game were against his party's success, has completely cleared the deck of all the old timber, and leaves him practically alone as the candidate. General Gregg was developed politically in a rather peculiar way. Members of his own party who hanker for preferment claim to have discovered him. General Gobin, of Lebanon, who is himself a candidate for Governor, repeatedly stated before the election that he alone brought out General Gregg, and probably no one now more keenly regrets the finding of the hero of Gettysburg. However, to a Philadelphia Democrat, the Republicans owe their Audi tor General elect Colonel John P. Nichol son is responble for General Gregg's can didacy. How Gregg Got Into rolilics. General Gregg had ever since the "War been a respected and honored citizen of Reading. He had no political ambition. As a gentleman of mean"; and leisure, he fre quently visited Philadelphia, where he had constructed a tower of warm tand lasting friendships. He knew no party in his social life, and his admirers come from the business and political life of the Quaker City, regardless of political lines. Early last summer, while General Gobin was visiting in Philadelphia, he mei Colonel Nicholson, one of General Gregg's warmest friends. The tw o talked of candidates for Auditor General, and Nicholson, patting Gobin on the shoulder, said: "If you Re publicans are smart, you will nominate General Gregg, of Reading, for Auditor General." The suggestion struck Gobin with force. Later that day he announced Gregg as a candidate, and, as he sayR hims"lf, he had to go to Hates' historv to find out just who General Gregg was, although he recognized Gciieral Gregg as a great 6oldier. He found out, however, and before Gregg ever dreamed of public office he was a full- fledged candidate. General Gobin was the father of the Gregg boom, but Colonel Nicholson, a Dem ocrat, was the discoverer of the candidate. That is a bit of political history now written for the first time. Again Holding iho Right of the line. General Gregg's victory of Tuesday last, larger even than the fondest dream of his managers, makes him the Moses ot his party. Beyond question he is, w ith nrob ably the single exception of "fighting Dick Coulter," the greatest living soldier in Pennsylvania, and General Coulter has no political aspirations; he is content with his large family and his extensive banking interests in Westmoreland county. In the Republican party General Gregg holds the right of the line now as he held the right of the line at Gettysburg at a most critical point when General Lee at tempted to turn it. The other candidates must keep off the political grass. Your own Major Montooth and the hero of Johns town, General Hastings, General Gobin, Lieutenant Governor Va'res, General Wiley, of Prauklin, and Thomas J. Stew wart, Secietary of Internal Affairs, all pro nounced Gubernatorial candidates, must one and all retire from the political field, as Gregg most certainly has the call on the nomination. Of course, he will not be given the nomination without a fight, and probably a bitter one at that, but it is safe betting that lie will get the nomination, just the same. General Gregg has a mighty sight more friends now than he had before his nomina tion, or even after his nomination and when Itis election was in doubt in the minds of the leaders of his own party, and these friends are already preparing his guber natorial boom. General Gobin is not among his boomers, however. Democratic Candidates for Governor. Nobody is yet bold enough to even sug gest a Democratic candidate for Governor, but the woods are full of them, just the same. The rather rude nipping of Governor Pattisou's Presidcntal aspirations did not shock the cool, calm, deliberate Secretary of the Commonwealth, and Mr. Harritv is just as much a candidate for Governor now as he was when he heard that the only part of Philadelphia he could carry was his own ward. The fifteen-odd thousand majority for the Republican State ticket in Alle gheny county did not in the least disturb the Curly-headed leader of the Democracy, and Mr! Harritv is just as hopeful now as ever that the "State of Allegheny" is with him rud for him tor Governor. Adjutant General McClelland U frequent ly tpoken of by his many admiring friends as a possible candidate for Governor, but he is not ambitious in that direction. In the words of General Ncglcy, of Allegheny countv, when, in 1S6S, he was nominated for Congress, General McClelland "has reached the Mimmit of manhood's expecta tions," and he w ants no office. Rut when the Democrats cet their lamps lighted, and Ci out in dead earnest for a gubernatorial candidate, they are most likely to drop in on Simon P. Wolverton, the old Demo cratic war horse of Northumberland county, or to call on William TJ. Heusel. of Lan caster, the Attorney General, who is to-day more popular than ever with hU party. Herbeet. vanced. The State Supreme Court late yesterday afternoon granted an alternative writ of prohibition, petitioned for fry Bruner, restraining Superior Judge Wal lace from proceeding further in the bribery case. The writ is returnable before the Supreme Court on Monday next. The grand jury has reported, finding' four indictments asainst parties whose names were not disclosed. OPEBATOES' DOUBLE FIGHT. BANK SWINDLERS RUN DOWN. A SHEEWD GANG PLAYS ITS GAME OXCr TOO OFTEN. A SEHS&TIOIf IN CALirOENIA. An Adverse Decision to Be Appealed to the Supremo Court. Sait FRAClbCO, Nov. 7. Assemblyman Elwood Bruner, of Sacramento, who has been indicted by the grand jury for mal feasance in office in accepting bribes, and who has also been indicted for perjury in connection with testimony which he gave before the grand jury, appeared in the Su preme Court yesterday to argue the case on his behalf. He had previously moved to set the indictments aside on the grounds that the grand jury was not legally im paneled; that the jurors were prejudiced against him, and that the indictment for perjury was founded on testimony given by himself as witness. Regarding hio argument on the latter point Judge Wallace said there was nothing in the records to show that Bruner has testi fied against himsidf or that the grand jury had founded an indictment on his testimony. District Attorney Barnes and Attorne General Hart quoted authorities to sustai t their contention that the grand iury was legall v impaueled, and the Attorney Ox nil contended that the State Constitute : ex pressly provided th .' in the imestigation of thelcgislat! '3 scandal the witness was obliged to testify. Bruner swore to obey the State Constitution, and consequent! had no right to refuse tt testify before the grand jury or to claim such right. Judge Wallace then denied the motion to set thf indictment aside, and said he would file a written decision to cover the points ad- A Scheme That Worked Perfectly Wher ever Tried Western Banking Institu tions Taken In The Last of tho Gang Runs Into a. Trap How It Was Sprunf. Nnw York, Nor. 7. Special The Chase National Bank has received informa tion from Toledo, la., that Andrew J. Con over, the bank swindler, has been convicted and sentenced to nine years in the peni tentiary. Conover's partner, James Hall, who was arrested with him, is now awaiting trial at Waxahatchie, Tex. Another of his pals, Garbutt, is soon to be tried at Tracr, la. It seems probable from this that one of uie most successiui gangs 01 dudk summers which ever operated in this country will be effectually broken up. The gang worked a simple plan, but it was worked extensivelv. Their scheme was to get hold of well-engraved forms of bank drafts and fill them in indiscriminately. They made no attempt at forgery. In fact, they were careful to avoid it, alw ays chang ing the spelling of a word or two on the draft form, so that the ones they used would not be exact fac similes of the real forms. These forms they usually got from the statiouers who did the engraving for the bank. It seemed to be easy enough for them to arrange so that the stationer wou'd not suspect anything wrong. Having secured the drafts, one of the gang would go into some horse raising dis trict in one of the Western States and rep resent himself as a buyer of horses. He would get acquainted with the fanners and asree to buy their stock at a good price. Then he would induce a farmer to identify him at the country bank, deposit a draft, draw a check against it, and skip out. By this method Conover swindled'scven banks in Northern Iowa, last spring, and several more in Southern Minnesota. From one of the Minnesota banks he got 53,400. Hall was operating at this time at Waxahatchie, Tex. Most of the bogus checks are drawn on the Chase Bank. 'The officers of the bank had been in communication with their coun try correspondents about the swindlers, and inspector Uvrncs Had descriptions ot the men, when they kindly came to New York to be arrested. Conover ordered from J. H. Warner a book of drafts for Clinton.Backus & Co., of Union Springs, N. Y. Manager Badeau, of the Warner firm, telegraphed Backus & Co. and received a repl v that they had no representatives here. When Con over called to seethe proof he was shadowed bv detectives and arrested with Hall. The Chise Bank people say that it would be im possible for sn indlersto w ork this game if the stationers from whom the drafts were ordered followed the method which is gen erally employed and shipped the draft books by express directly to the bank supposed to be ordering. The Indiana Mines Will 'ot Bcopen Till Railroads and Men Give In. Chicago, Nov. 7. Representatives of all the Indiana block coal 'operators having had notice to-day of an advance on coal freight rates from Brazil, Ind.. to Chicago of 10 cents a ton to take effect November 15, decided at a meeting held in this city to dajr that they would not resume work at their mines or ship any coal until the freight rate which had heretofore existed shall be restored, nor until the miners com- Iily with the contract entered into May 14 ast. Fannie Cnrtwrilht Not Mnrdered. Chicago, Nov. 7. Dr. Helstoen, the Coroner's physician, to-day made a po3 mortem examination of the body of Fannie Cartwright, the actress who met a mys terious death in a lonesome railroad yard in this city, and who it was thought by many had been murdered and her body left on the tracks to divert suspicion. The examina tion failed utterly to show any injuries other than those inflicted by the engine, which undoubtedly caused her death. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS A Pastor Convicted of Immorality.
