Ex-Senator "Wallace's remarkable capitulation to the Cleveland-Pattison forces was the subject of much discussion among State Democrats in the city to-day. The advocates of the Governor were in a jubilant mood. Some regard the Clearfield statesman's new and startling step as a move for harmony in the State Convention next 'Wednesday. A few, more ultra in their views, do not hesi tate to say that Mr. Wallace has forsaken once more the standards set by his own leadership, and given no word to those in line with him. Ex-Senator Charles K. Buckalew, John G. Freeze and Charles G. Barkley, who con trol the Columbia county end of the party, quietly talked the situation over at the Bingham. They did not appear to know exactly the true meaning of the movement "I understand that the meeting was brought about by the Governor," said Mr. Bucka lew, "and it means a united Pennsylvania Democracy in a great Presidental year." The Best Way to Settle Differences. Congressman Jarufs B. Reilly and Major James Ellis, of PottSville, were together at the Continental. They were free to say that it "was the best way to setjle diffe ences, if such things exist." Ex-Senator William H. Hines, of Wilkes barre; ex-Senator S. C Wagner, of New ville; Robert E. Wright, of Allentown, and Michael Cassidy, of Mauch Chunk, were among State Democrats in the city. They all agreed that the convention would be all on one line unanimously for Cleve land, with Governor Pattison as Eecond choice. Mr. Wallace came down from Harrisburg, and was at the Continental until noon, when he left for New York. He has engaged parlors C and G, his old quarters, at the Bolton IIoue, and will attend the conven tion as a spectator. Mr. Wallace is opposed to Cleveland and against Hill, and Coal Operator George M. Brisbin, of Osceola, who is also a city visitor, said: "There is no doubt that events are concentrating on Governor Pattison as the Democratic can didate. Mr. Wallace believes the Governor to be the most available man." "Wallace Flat-rooted for Pattison. Mr. Wallace said: "It is true that I have met the Governor, but I have nothing to add to the statement in which I am cor rectly quoted on the nomination of Mr. Pattison for President. His nomination would be in the line of the highest ex pediency, as he stands well with all factions in New York." The Democratic State Convention next Wednesday will be made up of 461 dele gates, and the Cleveland-Pattison element h ill have easy and absolute control. Nearly every county has instructed for ex Prcsident Cleveland, with Governor Patti 8on as second choice. James M. Gufley, who leads in p.irt the opposite side, claims 120 delegates, 20 out of Alle gheny's 33, and only seven out of Philadelphia's 83 being the most sur prising part of the list. The admin istration, however, has figures to show 385 delegates out of the 461, and this is believed to be a wide concession to the Gufley side, as the latter controls but two counties entire Westmoreland and Washington, with a chance for a share in Northampton, Brad ford whose six delegates are the only ones instructed for Hill Schuylkill, Clearfield and Butler. Tlie Senator Not Friendly to HI1L The announcement of Senator Wallace's Intention to support Governor Pattison tor the Presidental nomination has created no surprise among his friends, who have been fieely apprised by him of his firm opposi tion to the candidacy of Mr. Cleveland. He has frequently declared to them that he did not believe the ex-President could be re-elected. Several papers recently contained an al leged interiew with him in which he was put on record against Cleveland and in lavor of Hill, but Mr. Wallace denies the report that he is for the New York Senator. He has always declared that if Governor Pattison would be a candidate for President he thought the State delegation to the National Convention should support him. A special from Harrisburg says: In a recent interview with Senator Wallace he is said to have made his support of Mr. Pat tison contingent on the retirement of Sec retary Harrity from the race as a candidate for member of the National Cemmittee, claiming that such a movement was neces sary to unite the State delegation on the Governor. Senator Wallace is strongly op posed to Harrity, and is convinced that the latter is hurting" the Governor among the Democrats of the State. He is a warm sup porter of Gufley as a. member of the Na tional Committee. Pattiron TTsrneci to Drop Uarrlry. The recent conferences between the Gov ernor and Senator weie due to an invitation from the former after a mutual friend had done a little maneuvering in that direction. The first conference was held last week, but it was fruitful of no tangible results. The last conference was held Thursday evening, and lasted until midnight. Governor Patti son was frankly told ot the injury that Har- HI rlty was doing to the Democratic party by his bossism. It is said to have developed at this meet ing that Pattison is opposed to the State Convention instructing for Cleveland, and in favor of the adoption of a resolution re quiring the delegates to vote as a unit. He believes that all but eight or ten delegates to the National Convention will be his friends, and that the adoption of the unit rule would be greatly to his Interest "With no instructions and the unit rule in force, the delegation would be prevented from casting a vote for Cleveland, or any other candidate bnt myself. The Governor claims that the New York World will give him its support, and that George "W. Childs and the Drexels, although Republicans, will contribute materially to his success. The combination believed to have been formed by Pattison and Wallace is regarded with some alarm by the Cleveland people, notwithstanding th'e lact that nearly all the delegates to the State convention have been chosen in the interest of the ex-President. RED HOT IN LITTLE RHODY. Victorious Republicans Announce Their In tentions Thev Will Count In Their Can didates, No Matter now the Bye-EIec-tlous Remit A Big Majority Wanted. Providence, R. I., April 9. Special It the Republicans carry out the programme arranged to-day, the bye-elections in Rhode Island will be a mere farce, for it is pro posed to count in the Republican candi dates, no matter how the elections pan out. First of all, the Republicans, claim that Burton, the Democratic nominee for the Assembly from Providence, for whom the Board of Aldermen found a majority of 71, is not legally elected, because he was not . placed in nomination in an entirely legal way. The Republicans claim that Burton was nominated for eleventh representative, and that the Democratic City Committee placed his name in the tenth position on the list, or against Hnghes, the colored Re publican nominee. This made a change in the name of Alva Carpenter, who was originally named for tenth representative, Carpenter, of course, being placed in the eleventh position on tne tietet. Now the Republicans claim that the House will exclude Burton, one of the two Democratic Assemblymen elected from Providence, declare Camp Hughes, the Republican nominee, as having a large ma jority, as the only man nominated properly for the tenth Representative, and also de clare William Colville elected on the same grounds. The fight against the Newport Demo' cratic Assemblymen will also be carried into the next Legislature, and from all that can be learned of the inside of the informal meeting here, the entire Newport delega tion will lose their seats in the next House of Representatives. The early decision to thus act upon the different Democratic members who have been given majorities on recounts shows clearly that the victors are in a most re markable frame of mind. They are not satisfied with their majority, but want the Legislature by overwhelming odds. With a big fight decided upon for the balance of the Providence and Newport Assembly ticket, things are at once becoming political ly warm again. HA.BEITY WIKS IK BEDF6ED.

This indicates that Quay will have from 1,500 to 2,000 majority in the county. For Assembly Douthitt leads, with Thomas and Mates running neck and neck for second place. McJunkin has a strong lead for District Attorney, and looks like a winner. Phillips for Co'ngress and Carson for State Senate were unopposed. LEW EMEEY CABBIES 1TXEAH. The Quay Candidate for Delegate There Is Just Defeated. Bradford, April 9. Special The primaries to-night throughout McKean county were unusually interesting. The weather was bad, but there was a heavy vote polled. Colonel W. W. Brown, the ex-Congressman, was the Quay candidate against Hon. Lewis Emery for the position ot delegate to the National Republican Convention. Emery, of course, as an ex ponent of the doctrine of "X Y Z," was anti-Quay. Indications to-night show that Emery has captured the county over Brown by a small majority. Emery's majority in this city-is 229, and he gets .all the city delegates. This is a vindication of his course during the late gubernatorial unpleasantness, as he is as firmly against Quay as ever. 'Westmoreland for the President. Greensburg,. April 9. Special.

SUNDAY, APRIL- .10. 1892. NOT A GENUINE NOTE BearingHuEtington's Indorse ment Is Now Moat and Unpaid, Says HIS SON-IN-LAW, ME. HOED. Tlio Alleged Indorser Won't Pay a Dollar of the Spurious Paper. HE'S TOO ILL TO BE SEENHIHSELF. Ex-Congressman Paige Is Badly Eeaten in the Eace to Dresden. THREE INDICTMENTS AGAINST EALPH Dresden, April 9. John Huntington, of Cleveland, is very 111 in a private hos pital in this city. A representative of the press tried to see him to-day In regard to his indorsement on the paper of Paige, Carey & Co., of New York. No stranger is allowed to see Mr. Huntington, but the representative was received by Mrs. Hunt ington, who Is greatly affected by the troubles of Colonel David K. Paige, who is a near relative. She stated that though her husband made it a rule never to indorse notes, in this case he had made an excep tion, much against her wishes. Both con sidered Colonel Paige to be & man of honor. She objected on principle to her husband indorsing the notes. Colonel Paige's firm was hard pressed by opposing contractors, and Mr. Huntington assisted him by indorsing & number of his notes before he started for Europe. A few of the notes are here. All of the indorsed notes are in the hands ot Mr. Huntington's New York bank. The former notes were mostly taken up by Mr. Huntington. Mrs. Huntington was notable to state the amount of the notes. She had no knowledge of the trouble beyond that contained in a brief cable dispatch. She said that with Ralph Paige they had no transactions, and thinks that most of the indorsements on notes not in the hands of Mr. Huntington's agents must be forgeries. Dr. Koetiez said that Mr. Huntington is slowly recovering. Mr. Huntington's Son-In-Law Talks. "Country banks around Cleveland hold some $500,000 in notes bearing Mr. Hunt ington's name as indorser, which he will never pay, every one being lorzed," said Mr. Huntington s son-in-law, Mr. Hord, to a reporter to-night at the Hotel Bellevue. Mr. Hord arrived here late and went forth with to consult Mr. Huntington. On re turning to the hotel he gave the press rep resentative a number ot facts in the case. He said: "Mr. Huntington indorsed $150,000 of Paige, Carey & Company's notes before April, 1891. These notes were returned in due time, marked as paid. Mr. Huntington refused .to make any more indorsements. and then, doubtless, the forged'note3 were floated. While in Europe, however, he endorsed $80,000- morey-sending them to hi3 financial agent, MrPerklns, of the Cleveland Mercantile Bank. Mr. Perkins, in themean time, got wind of the "forgeries, and cabled this fact to Mr. Huntington, who at once stopped the notes. They werenever issued, but are locked up in tne safe of the bank. Not one note bearing Mr. Huntington's genuine Indorsement is now in circulation." "Who is the forger?" asked the re porter. "We have a suspicion," said Mr. Hord, "but do not care to mention names." Betlcent as to the Gnllty Party. "Is Mr. Paige involved?" continued the representative. "No," replied Mr? Hord, "we do not think he handled any of these notes." "How about Carey? Does not his sudden death two months ago look like a suicide committed in view of the threatened ex posure?" "No. Mr. Carey's death was really the result of an accident." "Then Mr. Paige must be the guilty party?" suggested the reporter. For answer to this question Mr. Hord re plied: "Mr. Huntington won't pay one dollar of these forced notes, no matter who the guilty one is." Mr. Hord says he did not call upon Mr. Paige while in New York on his way to Europe. "What would have been the use?" he queried. Evidentlv he has strong evidence of Paige's guilt He has called for the latest information, and expects an answer Mon day, when the proper depositions will be signed. Mr. Hord said: "Criminal proceedings will be left to the parties defrauded. Mr. Huntington takes matters yery coolly, although he may lose $50,000. He only regrets his misplaced confidence." Mr. Hord will start on his return to America as soon as the proper papers are signed. D. It Palgo Sidetracked In London. A dispatch from Cleveland says: A. C. Hord, who left Cleveland a week ago to visit his father-in-law, John Huntington, in Europe, to ascertain whether the im mense amount of paper issued by Paige, Cary & Co., of New York, indorsed with Mr. Huntington's name, is genuine or not, arrived in Dresden to-day. Hersent a brief cablegram in cipher to the city to-night, which, apparently, sets at rest all con jectures on the subject. It says that Mr. Huntington is slightly improved in health, and that David It Paige is in London and has not gone to see Mr. Huntington, who is in Dresden. Most im portant is the positive declaration that Mr. Huntington has not indorsed any notes for Paige, Carv & Co. since going as surety on $80,000 of paper in April of last year. This is in accordance with the cablegram from Mr. Huntington over a week ago. A New York dispatch says: L. Laflin Kellog, Mr. Paige's counsel, said to-day that there was no truth In the report of forgery. "I have seen no one who dared to charge it," said he, "except tinder cover of a newspaper. All the reports came from Cleveland. Mr. Huntington's family and his represent ative are determined to ruin the standing of Mr. Paige in Mr. Huntington's estimation. I know that since Mr. Huntington has been abroad notes have been repeatedly sent to him to indorse." PAIGE INDICTED FOB FOB GEE Y. Three Bills Fonnd, in Two or Which Presi dent Steele Is Implicated. Cleveland, April 9. Special Three indictments, 'charging Balph K. Paige with uttering and publishing four forged promis sory notes, were returned by the grand jury to-day. The first one Involves Paige alone, but in the other two Horace Steele, Presi dent of the defunct Painesville Loan Asso ciation, is implicated. The aggregate amount of the alleged forged paper is $12,900. The names said to have been forged were those of the Pennsylvania and Lake Erie Dock Company ,bv J. B. Irwin, manager, and the Fairpbrt Warehouse and Elevator Company by Joseph Chapman, manager. Paige received the information of his in dictment with no manifestation 'of concern. The hail for each case was fixed a $5,000. As Mr. Steele was, already under a $10,000 bond his bail was continued by the' Judge. Over 35 witnesses have, been examined, and it is said that some of Huntington's paper has come up lor investigation. WHITELAW REID'S WELCOME. PEASANT GREETING BY THE SOCIETX OF NEW YORK.

A Saturday Niht Feast of Reason. The dinner was served with unusual celerity, mainly for the reason that there was a good deal of talking to be done, and also because Chairman Swayne is a good enough Presbyterian to desire the cessation of the festivities before Sunday. So he banished the waiters at 9 p. M., and led off with a happy welcome to Mr. Heed, who, he said, had at the bidding of Horace Greeley, "come East, young man." Laugnter.

Special A body of 75 or 80 masked men about 11 o'clook last night took Isaac Brandon, the negro who was in jail at Charles City Court House, charged with assault upon a young lady, from the jail and hanged him to a tree in the Court House vard. They surrounded the house of the Sheriff while they broke into the jail. Sheriff Nance awoke and came out, when he was ordered to go back. He refused, and after a few moments the crowd left him, but the deed had been very quietly done in the meantime. An experienced locksmith must have opened the door, as it was double locked and the locks very strong. A little son of the negro was staying with him. The boy says that the men entered the jail with pis tols in hand ana told uranaon to cross his hinds behind him. He asked them if they were going to hang him. They told him that they were. He said: "Well, you are going to" hang an innocent man." "You shan't hang my papa," cried the little fellow, clinging to his trembling father. The boy was forced back into the cell. Whether Brandon confessed afterward is not known. "His body was found hanging the next morning. No person here doubts his guilt The lynching was very thor oughly and quietly arranged, and no one has the least idea of where it started or who the parties were. The negroes around the scene of the lynching are greatly excited, and trouble is feared. A race war occurred at this point some time ago. A JEEAK ISFATUATIOir.

Accompanying the letter was a bou quet and a box of confections. The New Brighton lady granted the request and an extraordinary interview followed, the caller betraying every evidence of a sincere, deep love. Letters followed with bouquets and small presents and finally a flat proposal of marriage was made. To this letter, of course,' the lady from this place made no answer.

It is learned here that this is not the first nor the second time that Mr. Spalding ehanged faith. He was originally a Lu theran, then became a Baptist, then an Episcopalian, and then a Catholic. Now he has returned to the Episcopal Church. While here he contributed to the Catholic Jfirror. Mr. Edmund Harmange, the ed itor, at the request of Cardinal Gibbons, gave him employment. Be Hade the Change Deliberately. Dr. Spalding announced his determina tion to be a Catholic to his Cambridge con gregation November 29 last, when he deliv ered a long sermon giving his reasons for his action. He said that rationalism drove him from the Episcopal Church, in which there was too much freedom of thought and action. Dr. Spalding denied that he had token the sUp hastily and gave in detail the investigations which led to his change of faith. Among the other things he said: I cannot call myself hasty in arriving at conclusions which it has taken me many years to reach. I will say at once that what first set me thinking in the direction which has resulted thus far In my givlug up the rectorship was the rationalism, the frco thlnking and the unbelieving in the Episco pal Churoh and the entire Anglican com munity. The rationalistic pirlt belongs more or less to us all. We nave our intellect, our reason as God's gift, and ws are to use it in its legitimate sphere. But, having seen a revelation from Ood in his Church and in the hlstorr of it as it was first given to the world, we aro nci left to our own conflicting thoughts in deciding jrreat questions of belief and faith. It IS uttor freedom, think in? and believing without restraint, indi vidualism that will not be guided, and we have all seen it in this churoh spreading and gi ewing, branching up in our midst, a form of latitude even to the very denial of the foundation of Christianity. Questions of Inspiration and Grace. I have heard the holy notion of grace sneered at, and you remember how differ ently St. Paul speaks of grace. I have heard from a source which you, perhaps, little think, that thegrnce of God was as much given to Luther and Calvin as it was to the Holy Apostles for their work. I must not go on so with my reason. Tho rationalism in our Communion, so ignoring or opposing the principal authority, set me, ai I sav, think ing whether this Church really had the au thority which some of us supposed it pro fessed to have, but did not exercise. And then whether any otner branch, acting on this same theory, also claimed the authority and oxeicisedlt. This was a short process of inquiry; for everybody knows that the Bomnn Catholic Church claims it and exercises In defenso of the ancient creed the maintenance of the cardinal doctrines of the orthodox faith. Wns the Catholic Chutch, then, the true church, and the Anglican Church, though holding so much of Catholic truth, not the true church, except as a branch cut off? I feel that my long investigation Is practic ally at an end, and a month ago I was so far advanced toward the position ot tho Cat ho llo Church aud go far removed from the Anglican Church that I could not conscien tiously continue in the discharge of my ministerial duties. I have had a growing conviction for some time that I must give up my parish, but I would do nothing rash. Open to Further Enlightenment. The result has been a steadily strengthen ing presumption of the validity of the claim of the Roman Catholic Church. Instead of being set back by what I have seen and read and heard, I have been more carried for ward. I may be mistaken. If so, may God further enlighten me. But the Roman Cath olic Church impressed me as being the one true unurcn oi uunti one noiy uainouc ana apostolic, going back to antiquity, yet living in the present, so showing to all who have sufficient means of knowledge and don't shut their minds and refuse to submit to ti adt tlon and history and theology and morals nnd the deepest knowledge of which man is possessed. Dr. Spalding's action naturally made a sensation. He had been for many years the Bector of historic Christ Church, in Cam bridge. He was a teacher in Northampton before he, began to preach, and has a wife and grown children. During the 10 years he lived in Cambridge he won a large per sonal following, unlike most pastors, and it was expected that many would go with him into the Catholic Church, but so far as known none have done so.

An inquest to-day in the case of William Dickerson, aged 19 years, of this city, who died of con- sumption March 16 last, with a view of as certaining if the lad's illness, was fastened by ill treatment at theHuntingdonjBeforma tory, of which he was an inmate nearly up to the time of his death, a verdict of death from natural causes was reached. The testi mony of the Assistant Superintendent, the guards, two boys who were nurses in the Reformatory Hospital and attended Dicker son, and the physician, denied cruel treat ment. It had been necessary to strap Dickerson down on account oi his habits. The jury returned a verdict of exhaustion, due to consumption; that death was, also, due to exposure.

The jury then modified its verdict, and said death was due to exhaustion following consump MILLER WRITING A BOOK. TOE MtJBDERER OF HOCHSTETtEB AT WOBK ON HIS ilFE.

DETROIT'S DEADLY DANGER. A Whole Neighborhood or Poles in Contact With Typhus Victims. Detkoit, April 9. The origin of the case of typhus that was discovered here yes terday, is somewhat of a mystery. Four passengers on the steamer Ghelert, which arrived in New York three weeks ago with a numbertof typhus cases on board, have come to Detroit, but they are all in good health. One of them, a Pole named Zlak, lies only a few blocks from the Czapas, the family in which the disease has developed, and it is not impossible that the contagion mar have come from this source. A more reasonable explanation is that the disease was brought by a family named Botnow, living almost opposite from the Czapas. The Botnows arrived in Baltimore eight days ago on the steamer Carlsrupe and came directly to Detroit. It is not known that there Were any cases of contagious disease on the Carlsrupe, but Mrs. Bothnow has informed the City Health Officer that 15 children died on the' voyage. She thought the deaths occurred from scar let fever, but was not sure. The officials at Baltimore do not take the same precautions as at other ports, and the official was not in formed of the arrival of the Carlsrupe with the disease on board. The Botnows have small children who have played with the Czapas children. The situation is alarming. The house, which is a seven-room cottage, contains two large families, the members of which have been passing freely in and out of the chamber of the fever-stricken patient since last Monday, when the child was first taken sick.

FATHER ADAMS HEALS A CAXCEB rBY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.! I-ONDOH'. April 9. The following extra ordinary story of a miracle at Lourdea was printed here to-day over the signature of Edward "Wolsey. The gentleman says: On March 13 I was at Xourdes and was just leaving the grotto after hearing mass at the Basilica, where I saw a yonng girl carried on a bed by four men. She was white like a corpse, her limbs and head were twisted and she was blind. She was carried into the Piscane. I returned to onr hotel and had hardly arrived when the land lady rushed in to tell me that this young girl had been completely cored. I at ones got permission to go to'see Madame De La Guerre with a friend, with 'whom I was traveling. ATe found her in the greatest joy at the wonderful cure of her daughter, lime. De La Guerre. Leading Doctors Gave XTer Up. The mother told us the yonng lady had been paralyzed for the last six years and had had all the best doctors in Paris, but she only got worse. Eight months ago sha was advised to take her as a last chance to Geneva and try hot baths. After taking the baths for two months she got a fresh stroke and w?s struck blind. They then de termined to take her to Lonrdes and there beg for her a .cure from Our Lady. Uo cure was made the first day, and next day the invalid was sent in a carriage from Lourdes station. On entering thePiscane and being bathed in the water she was suddenly and instantly made well, her contorted limbs were restored to their right position and her eye-sight completely restored. Her mother asked us if we would like to see her daughter, so we went in. The window was wide open, the sun was pouring into tha room and the girl was facing the light, but she said she did not feel the glare in tha least. No Doubt Abont the Sllracle. I took her recentlv Daralvzed hand which was warm and healthy. She said: "thanks to Onr Blessed Lady of Lourdes, I am com pletely cured." She seemed the very picture of health and animation. All the particulars told us by her family were confirmed by the doctor who came with her from Geneva. He also tokens that so little did he expect her re covery that he had not even gone to tha Grotto with her. Hoirever, the miracle was witnessed by an English Protestant doctor who hap pened to be at Lourdes, and he has signed a declaration that the cure was utterly be yond medical power and that the girl is perfectly cured, her leg3 and arms dropping into their natural position, while her eyes became bright and clear when a minute pre viously she' had been blind and a hopeless cripple. RIVALS FATHER M0LLIXGER Father Adams, of Brooklyn. Reported to Have Cnred Cancer and .Lameness. Krs'GSTOS', April 9. Special. Two remarkable cases of cure by faith and prayer brought about by visits to the Bey. Thomas Adams, of Brooklyn, have just taken place. Mrs. James Finan, a widow abont 45 years old, resides at Creeklocks in the Ulster cement region. For the past five years she has been a great sufferer from a cancer on her left breast. Becently her entire left side became affected and the arm hung limp and useless. Mrs. Pinan decided as a last hope, local physicians havins given up her case as in curable, to visit Father Adams. She had to be carried from her home to a carriage to take a train for New York. She returned this week, and has since suffered neither ache nor pain, can nse the afflicted arm and walk as well as ever. The other case was that of a child named Elsie Connolly, living at Bock Lock, a short distance from Mrs. Pinan. She was unable to walk without the use of iron braces to strengthen her limbs. After visiting Father Adams she returned home accom panied by her mother, who carried tha braces, for whicn her daughter had no far ther use. RIOT IN BELLEVUE. An Officer Attacked by Kowdies He Se cures Assistance and a Pitched Battle la a Quarry Follows Several Slen Injured and One Arrest Made. Bellevue had the sensation of its history last night- Ahout 9 o'clock Officer "Will iam Bagley saw "William Hauser, Jr., Charles Hauser and "William Kerr standing on a street corner. They were creating a disturbance, and he told tbem to move on. They re fused. A fight followed in which Bagley was knocked down. The three men then jumped on him and taking hi3 maca hammered his head almost to jelly. Bagley got away from the men and ran to the store of "W. H. Straw. Mr. Straw secured tne services of Constable Morrison and a party of eight or ten men. Morrison went to Alderman Barr in "West Bellevua and secured warrants, and then the party started in pursuit ot the men. The men wera found near the Bellevue station, but when they saw the officer coming they ran down to a stone qnarry nearby. The pur suers followed and the two parties met. Bagley, though badly injured, followed the party. "When Cons'table Morrison came up to the men he attempted to arrest them. Kerr got away in the dark, but the Hauser boys stayed. The Hausers told the officer to read his warrant. He started to do it, and while tnus engaged the men knocked him, down, iterr then ran up witn & stone ana hit the constable in the face, breaking his nose. Bagley then came up and tried to assist iu the arrest, but was too weak to do anything. He called ior help, and tha citizens closed in and a free for all fight followed. Stones flew like hail, and Mr. Straw was struck on the head with one. The handcuffs were finally put on Chas. Hauser, but the fight kept up. Morrison was again, felled, and while Kerr was trying to hit him he pulled his revolver and shot three times at Kerr, but missed him.
