"I 4m indeed a subject for congratulation.'
From that I gathered that Mr. jJlatne had no
idea of entering the race, and I hold the
tame opinion still.
Could Jlr Blaino he elected if nominated?
That Is a rather direct question. I can
ay, however, that under all the circum
stances 31r. Blaine would not ho as stronpr a
candidate as he would have been had he
..withdrawn Irom the Cabinet six months a?o
. and announced himself n a candidate. Ir
nominated. liocer. I believe he can he
elected. But 1 have no idea that Jlr.
lilaino will be the candidate. His name
is only being ued bv the enemies
of the administration to defeat the Presi
dent. Thev -will "so the Blaine popularity
to demonstrate, ir possible, the weakness of
Sir. Ilarri-on, and in that way they may be
able to secure the nomination of Alger or
AllUon, or somo other candidate more satis
factory to them than either Harrison or
Blame
I pi-edict that wo will hear from Mr. Blaino
in somo surprising way not later than Mon
day. SENSATION IX PITTSBURG.
Great Excitement Caused by the Announce
ment of the Secretary of State's Unex
pected resignation From the Cabinet
What People Think About It.
The announcement of Blaine's resignation
irom the Cabinet caused lots of talk in Pitts
burg esterJay afternoon and evening, and
this is wliatome of the people said about it:
Delinquent Tax Collector Ford Mr.
Blaine's resignation pots the Secretary fairly
in the race for the Presldental nomination.
I think Blaine will be nominated, and I
lo.il upon his nominationas decidedly unfor
fnUnnate for the IteDublican paity. The
people of this country -n ill submit to no Jug-gllt-s
with the Tresidental office.
Majoi A..T. Logan Mr. Blaine is now in the
field for the nomination, and it looks as
though no power could stop him. The great
Secretary is a great man, however. lie is
lull of surprises and before the convention
meets lie may demonstrate that his resigna
tion fiom tueCabinet is his fiist stcptowaid
retliement Irom public life.
V. II Keeeh, a prorrinent member of and
a leader m the Americus Club Mi. Blaine's
resignation Irom the Cabinet can mean but
one thing. Ho is a candidate for the Presl
dental nomination, andafter forcing himself
into the fight at this time he should be
defeated. Mr. Blaine's getting into the way
ot his chief last at this time is base ingrati
tude and w ill not be approved by the people
of the country
Can Mean Only One Thing.
Colonel Hudson, of the supply department
of the Pittsburg Postoffice Blaine's resigna
tion from the Cabinet can, in my judgment,
mean only that Mr. Blaine is a candidate for
President against all comers.- It also means,
in my judgment, that Mr.. Blaise will be
nominated 1 think that either Cleveland
or Campbell can beat Blaine if he is nomi
nated. J M. Guffey, the Democratic politician
Mr. Blaifte's action, I must confess, is some
what of a surprise. I did not believe that
Mr. Blaine would make an open bid for the
place, but his tetiiomcntfroin the Cabinet
means onlv his candidacy for the nomina
tion. If Mr. Blaine Is nominated 1 think the
Democrats will insist on the nomination of
(irover Cleveland, and we will nave the
hattle of "iglit i ears ago over again Politics
aside. 1 think Mr. Blaine iastiongmanand
1 predict now that ho will carry our own
State by the largest majority ever given to a
candiQate, of course that will not win him
the tight and as a Democrat I fcav we will
elect the next Piesident whether Blaino or
Harrison is the ltepublican candidate. '
1M11 He th ext President.
Dr. C. C Evans Blaine's resignation from
the Cabinet means President Blame. That's
tie onlj meaning I can take out of the Sec
retarj's withdraw al irom the President's po
litical family at this time. The people have
forced Mr. Blaine to be their candidate. His
wonderful ability has secured for him the
applause u all the people, and ho Is forced
to become the candidate of his
party because lie is a larger
:ind"tioncci man than any of those named
lor the place. o charge of ingratitude can
lestaiainst Mr Blaine. He is the man for
the occasion. He is a great man and it is a
great occ ision and his cantMdacy will make
no wounds or sore places. I telljouMr.
Qu-iy and Mr. Clarkson are old Republic
ans. Politics is their business and
when for weeks they have been saying
that Blaine would be nominated I just
blmdlv submitted and decided toawaitlor
some surpuse. The surprise is uponusin
the lorni of the resignation from the Cabinet
and I think the nomination for the Presi
dency will follow promptly.
Jury Commissioner Mullen Mr. Blaine's
resignation isalongstep tnwaidthe Piesi-
dental nomination. Mi. Blaine has tricked
the President. That's all there is in it.
County Detective Beltzhoover Mr.
Blaine's resignation fiom the Cabinet
means his nomination for the Presidency.
It also meaii3 that the Democrats must
nominate David B. Hill ir they hope to
elect.
A Democratic View of It.
W. J. Bicnnen, Chairman of the Demo
cratic County Committee Mr. Blaino is now
in the contest for the nomination. To es
cape being called an ingrate Mr. Blaine
should piobablj have withdrawn from the
Cabinet se eral months ago. As it is now it
looks like a fleht between Harrison and
Blaine, with the chances In lavor of
Hairison. Herein Pittsburg we know of no
otliei candidate than Blaine, but there
are a gieat many other States that will havo
a voice in the nomination, and, If I mistake
not, Mr. Blaine's delay in getting
out of the Cabinet will excite such
hitter feeling that the States outside of
Pennsylvania will hesitate before making
liiin their candidate. As things appear now
Blaine would seem to have much the best or
it, hut look out for surprises before the con
vention meets Harrison w ill not get out of
the way until he is defeated.
District Attorney Burleigh Mr. Blaine is
now a full fledged candidate lor President
His withdiawimr from the Cabinet means
thatand nothing else.
J. Kliodes Miller Blaine is the man among
all men lor the position, and he will get
there by a large majority.
Onlj a Few of Them Left.
John M. Andrews As Frank Daniels says,
There is only a few of them lcrt," and
Blaine is the brainiest of the lot. Ho is my
choice of all candidates, and I predict his
election, and he will be the President in
l'cr. He is a thoiough American; that is
why I admire him.
Colonel W. II. Keed When it comes time
for the nominations some well-known ora
tor, I care not where from, will rie and In a
Cowery sppeeh lecite the history of the
illustrious Harrison lamlly and will wind
up with a stilling lcviewot the present ad

w inch will be received with great ap
plause. Then someone else will get up
nnd reaa a letter fiom licnjxmiu Hai
lion declining to allow his name
to go berore the convention. And then, sir,
the convention not any one man, but the
conention, I repeat it, the convention, will
rise as one man and nominate Blaine bv ac
clamation, and we will elect him next
November.

Ttlaine Could Have It, Anyway.
United States District Attorney Walter
Lyon Blaine did not need to resign to get
the nomination. It is his without his with
drawal Irom the Cabinet, without a letter of
acceptance, without any indication on his
pat t of a desire to have it. Blaine causes
enthusiasm everywhere. He is the man
to carry the solid West, the State of
Xew Vol k and all the rest of the solidKorth.
He pleases the silver mea becauso he is
neutral on that point. He is stronger than
McKinloy because he is not ultra-tariff. Do
I think he can be elected? Undoubtedly.
Blaine could be elected easier than Harri

want a good clean. Republican administra

Councilman James E. r'linn To my mind
there has been a great deal or wire pulling

lieve his nomination for the Presidency is
almost conclusive.
any action that might indicate it was a clnb

Bepublican party and could not be. used for
any faction.
Captain Brown raised the point of order
that a motion to table is not debatable and
Colonel Keed sat down. Superintendent
Andrews would have spoken to the motion,
nut was ruled out ot order, J.ne motion to
lav on the table was then adopted, there
being but two votes against it
BLAINE WAS NOMINATED.
BLAINE THE ONLY THOUGHT.
Ths Philadelphia Delegation Pass Through
and Express Themselves TJnrquIvocally
for the Man From Maine Doubts of ths
Authenticity or the Kesignation.
The Philadelphia delegation passed
through the city jusc after the limited last
night and without an exception the mem
bers were greatly pleased at the Secretary's
resignation.
Five coaches and two baggage cars com
posed the train, and each coach was well
filled with Philadelphians eager and will
ing to talk of the convention and the
chances of Secretary Blaine's nomination.
Collector of Ports David Martin, repre
senting the strongest local taction in the
politics of Philadelphia, was deeply engaged
in a conversation when The Dispatch
man queried him about the Secretary's
resignatiou, but he said he was sure it was
the most advantageous thing Jlr. Blaine
could have done, as it will act as an induce
ment to his Minneapolis supporters who
may consistently infer that his resignation
means that his name may be used in the
convention.
'And he surely will be nominated," ex
claimed the Collector enthusiastically.
"Blaine is the only man who can success
fully contend for the Presidency, and if
nominated he will certainly be elected.
We received the information at Altoona
that the Secretary had resigned, and a
wilder set ot men than were these dele
gates would De hard to find. There were
some who doubted the authenticity of the
report, Dut the majority hailed the news
with acclamation."
The sentiment of the entire trainload of
politicians was the utterance of the gld
tocsin of 1884. No name was enthusiastically
mentioned save that of the ex-Secretary.
"Blaine" was heard upon every side.
There was not a delegate or a guest to be
found who did not emphatically declare that
Blaine was the coming nominee, and un
questionably the next President
Ex-Bepresentative McCreary had not an
ticipated such an action by Mr. Blaine, but
now that it was done it showed conclusively
that he was willing to permit his name to
be used in the convention. "Blaine is the
name that will win at the election," said he,
"and the ex-Secretarv, as henow is.for the
good of his party will permit hiR name to be
i,ed that the party may win. Blaine is the
candidate and his name' will be in the con
vention more prominently than
other's."
Dr.S.Hoxie Goodwin said the Secretary's
resignation means his nomination. "I was
inclined to doubt the truth of the state
ment," continued the physician, "when I
heard it at Altoona, but now there is no
doubt in my mind that the Secretary has
taken the p'roper step, and will permit his
name to be used in the convention, and
that, as everyone knows, means his nom
ination. Blaine is the man of the. people's
choice, and as such will win the campaign."
Jacob AVildennan, of the Philadelphia
Select Council, said Blaine would be the
Bepublican candidate for the nomination
and would undoubtedly win if his name was
mentioned. "He has the popular vote,"
continued the Select Councilman, "and will
win with the masses."
"In the present state of affairs in the
Democratic camp," said Magistrate Gil
lespie, "Blaine will get the electoral vote
in New York as well as in the other parts
of the country. Blaine will win the Presi
dency if anyone can, and that is what the
partv mav depend upon, for it is the
truth."

The Ex-Secretary or State' Nume Evokes
tl Wildest Enthusiasm at Lafayette
Hall He Gets a Majority of the Votes,
the Balance Brine Scattered.
The Washington Order of the Jr. O, XT.
A. M. held a well attended BepUblican Na
tional mock convention at Lafayette Hall
last night The assembly was Remarkable
alike for the brightness of the speeches and
the good-humored aspect of the celgates.
Dr. McCordick, or rather General Felton,
of California, was elected Permanent Chair
man, and opened the proceedings with a
strong patriotic speech, indentifying the
history of the nation with that of the party
of protection, whose birthplace, he said,
was Lafayette Hall.
After a resolution having been carried to
the effect that there were no contested seats
in the convention, a Committee on Besolu
tions was elected. It made such rapid
progress with its work that the platform
i reauy mr ueuvery uy ouu-
ator Quay almost before the last
member of the committee was elected.
Harrison's administration was indorsed
with applause, the mention of McKinley's
name was received with enthusiasm-, but
when Blaine's achievements were men
tioned the Stars and Stripes which adorned
the building quivered in response to the
adulatory uproar that must have been heard
all over the city. The platform was unani
mously carried and it was followed by a
motion to proceed with the nomination
of a President of these United States.
Ex-Governor Cumback, of Indiana, placed
before the committee the name of Benjamin
Harrison, of whom he spoke in touching
and pathetic terms. "Little Ben!" "Mightv
Ben!" "Beloved Ben," true to every trust!"
"Sentiment was with "Ben because Ben had
always been with sentiment " Such were
some of the phrases which characterized the
tenor of the whole speech. Senator Proc
ter, of California, seconded this nomina
tion. Hon. J. C Barrows, of Michigan, pro
posed Alger, and Senator 'Squire," also of
Michigan, seconded the nomination ot Gen
eral Alger.
Hon. G. W. Thurston, of Nebraska, pro
posed Ilobert E. Lincoln as the sou ot his
lather nnd Cullom, ot Illinois, seconded
Lincoln's name. J. Broadnx Smith then
made the speech of the evening. It was
filled with that "tonch of nature which
makes the whole world kin" and that sense
of humor which makes the whole world
grin. The speech was as forcible as it was
witty and was a strong support to the two
preceding speeches in favor of Lincoln.
Hon. W. M. Evarts, of New York, nomi
nated Chauncey Depew.
Ex-Governor Foraker, of Ohio, presented
the name of McKinley, whose nomination
was duly seconded. A delegate from the
District of Columbia then nominated J.
Broadax Smith and was followed by the
Hon. Smith, of Missouri, as seconder.
All this time the enthusiasm of the meet
ing had been gradually growing with ex
pressions of slightly emphasized predictions
here and there. The climax of the evening
came when James G.Blaine was proposed
by General Hastings, ot Pennsylvania, and
seconded by the ex-Governor of North Car
olina. The convention was carried away
with enthusiasm for the name it had been
awaiting, and the clamor was terrific for the
man of whom one of the sneakers said that
"His ability is unquestioned, he has no
superiors, and his equals are rarely met
with."
Then followed the voting by sections
with the result that Blaine received 238;
Lincoln, 67; Harrison, 88; Depew, 64; Mc
Kinley, 50, and Alger, 33, while Broadax
Smith had the balance of the 441 votes cast.
BROKE UP THE GANG.
Cambria County Counterfeiters Very
Cleverly Caught Up.
THREE MEMBERS BROUGHT HERE.
They Took Detective Mnlhall and Kobm
, son Into Their Plot.
A WILD CHASE OVER THE MOUNTAINS
The gang of counterfeiters that hare been
flooding the mountain towns along the
Pennsylvania Central from Johnstown to
Harrisburg with spurions coins and notes,
have been caught Detective Bob Bobin
son, of the Pittsburg city force, and M. M.
Mulhall, Chief of the Secret Service Detec
tives in Pittsburg, have the credit of mak
ing the capture and securing the para
phernalia of the counterfeiters. Last
night they arrived in Pittsburg with three
of the gang, and now have them safely
locked up in the county jail. Their names
are J. H. Pringle, Conrad Myer and John
Bucknet They are all from Cambria
county, and the last named is a famous
counterfeiter. He is the man who made the
molds, and is well known to the secret serv
ice officials, though of recent years
they have not succeeded in catching
him at any particular crime. The gang
owns up that recently it has made and
passed over 1,300 silver dollars made out
of antimony, block tin and glass. Each
coin cost the counterfeiters 3 cents to
produce and was floated at 100 cents.
May Besnlt In a Bigger Catch.
There are several other men in the gang.
Two are now in jail at Ebensburg under
another charge and one is still at large. They
have also circulated a large number of
counterfeit f 5 notes. The bills appear per
fect at first glance, but they do not have the
feel of the genuine. A number of the bills
were found by Detective Mulhall together
with a letter from a man in New York, who,
it is supposed, furnished the spurious pa
per. The authorities there are now look
ing him up. The letter was one of the
strictly guarded kind sent out by the green
goods men to people they do not know. It
was written in a style that showed the
writer was well informed as to the person
whom be was addressing.
The story as told by Detective Mulhall
last night is as follows. About two weeks
ago Inspector McKelvy detailed Detective
Robinson to work up a" case at Summerhill,
Cambria county. John Brown has large
lumber interests there and is a furniture
manufacturer. There had been some
thieving and considerable property had
been destroyed about the mill. Summer
hill is about 11 miles above Johnstown.

A NEW WAY OP GAMBLING.
B. O. Price Opens Up a Big Business In tba
Western Union Telegraph Office He
nnd Bis Assistant Arrested Tbe Com-
pany May Be Indicted "Also.
H. O. Price, the well-known pool seller,
and C L. Booney, an assistant, were ar
rested yesterday, afternoon on an informa
tion made by Inspector McKelvey, charg
ing them with gambling.
When the new city charter went into
effect Mr. Price moved his pool room to
Cleveland, O., and has continued to do
business there, giving Pittsburg a wide
berth, except by an occasional visit to
friends. About a week ago Price arrived
in the city and started to selling pools in a
new manner. He secured the main rooms
of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany. A. wire was run down Irom
upstairs and the services of an operator ob
tained. He then got C. L. Booney to do
the real work by selling pools. Mr. Booney
would exhibit a slip of paper previous to
each race at Morris Park, N. Y. On the
slips were written the names of the entries,
with the odds against them. The purchaser
would select his horse and pat up his
money. He would not be given a ticket or"
receipt, but his name was taken and the
money telegraphed on to the Tnrf Ex
change. The next day the winners would
receive their money. Mr. Price did not
handle a cent ot the money.
The Western Union Company may be
indicted for keeping a gambling "house. If
the suit is brought a letter written to Price
by Mauacer J. D. Flynn, of the company
w'ill be used as testimony. It was taken
from Price last night and is as follows:
Referring to your application for permis
sion to onon a branch office in connection
with this company, will say that I do not

Another Sensation.
DISAPPEARANCE OF A FAMILY.
Florist Eoffej, With His Wife and Family,
leaves Suddenly.
SOME DOUBT AS TO WHY THEY LEFT
FINANCES AND POLITICS.
THE CHIEF JUSTICE TALKS.
Melville W. fuller Cansttca'ly Criticises the
Action or the Ex-Secretary of State A
Complete Surprise to tbe Other Cabi
net Officers.
Melville W. Fuller, Chief Justice of the
United States, passed through from Wash
ington, en route to Chicago last night, and
told a Dispatch man that the, action of
Secretary Blaine would prove a complete
surprise to every member of the President's
Cabinet.
The Chief Justice, whose close proximity
to the President is as well known as his
ability is undoubted, was at first exceed
ingly reticent in speaking of the Secretary's
resignation and said the action was such a
complete surprise to him that he had not
had sufficient time to think of the matter
enough to give his views to the public.
Under the stress of direct questioning,
however, the Chief Justice talked and his
words were directly to the point.
".Ever since Mr. Blaine wrote the letter
in which he positively, as was supposed, de
clared he would not permit his name to be
used, "'said the Chief Justice, "the Cabinet
members as well as every one else who are
near to the President lelt that he meant
what he said, aud would not permit his
name to be used; consequently the news of
the becrctary s resignation will be a com
plete surprise to everyone."
"Do you think the Secretary's resignation
means that he will allow his name to "o
into the convention? asked The DisrATCii
man.
"Evidently, evidently," replied Justice
Puller. "What else, indeed, may be con
strued. His resignation shows without the
possibility of a doubt that he will make an
eflort for the nomination, and I think the
Secretary's name will be prominent in the
convention."
"Whom do you think will be the Be
publican nominee'."'
"That question I must decline to answer.
You know I am not In politics, and nnr
(ucli declaration would be iuapropos as veil
as uncalled tor."
Tlie People of Ft. Wayne, Ind., TVagerlnc
Largro Snmt on the Kesnlts of the Con
vention Odds on Blaine 4 to 1 Harrl
son Also Heavily Wagsred Upon.
"The rcsisnation of Secretary Blaine
from the Cabinet will cause a wild time in
Fort Wayne to-night," said B. A. Nelson,
of Fort Wayne, Ind., at the Schlosser
House last evening. He continued bv say
ing: "The excitement over the Bepublican
Convention is at present something unsur
passed by any previous convention ever
held. The town is divided, about half
beini; firm supporters of the President and
the others are deeply anxious over the pros
pects of Blaine's nomination.
"As a result of this the conflict between
the two factions is most warm, to say the
least, and the people have considerable
money upon the result The wagers are of
large" proportions and altogether will
amount to a most alluring fortune.
Everybody has something or other
up in some friend's hands.
One man has wagered a 510,000 piece of
property which has been tbe home of him
self and family for the last 20 years. When
I left Thursday night the odds were all on
Blaine. A prominent club man offers 4 to 1
upon the man from Maine aud has a number
ot takers. The friends of the President arg
every bit as enthusiastic and are
placing their money most ex
travagantly, ill my estimation, as I
do not see the possibility of a chance for
Harrison's nomination. To be sure, he has
made a fairlv good President, but he hasn't
the popularity that Blaine has throughout
the West, as well as in other important
sections of the country, and I am unequivo
cally in favor of the Plumed Knight, both
tor the Bepublican nomination and election."
"When Bobinson got there he at once
made the acquaintance of a gang of men he
suspected. 'He got into their confidence,
and soon after, In his report to Inspector
McKelvey, said he had fallen in
with a gang of counterfeiters. Mc
Kelvey shoned the report to me and
I at once communicated with Bobinson.
"In the meantime Pringle had picked nut
a little house there where he said a clear
55,000 could be made by blowing a safe.
This was Eobinson's opportunity and he
joined in with the scheme. He said he had
a pal in Pittsburgh who was a professional
cracksman. None of the gang were pro
ficient in that art, so Bobinson sent for his
pah We led them up on the sub
ject of counterfeiting, and they gave
us some of the money. Of course
we wanted to get the mold. Pringle said
they made their spending money with it
and said they had really passed 51,300 worth
ot the coin. They said they had passed a
good bit in Altoona and that two of the
members had been 'pinched' there. By
various devices I had to put off the safe
blowing job from night to night until
Pringle finally gave me the mold to re
pair." It had gotten a little scratched in
several places.
Chased Xhroagu tho Mountains.
"We had all gone to Johnstown, and Fri
day night I decided to make the arrests.
They were all at Pringle's place, but when
we catiEht him the others skipped. We
wired to Pittsburg and had a fast line train
ordered to stop lor us at Summerhill, for
we knew they would fly that way.
Printrle had made a little show ot resistance.
but when we presented our revolvers he
gave up.
"When we reached Summerhill we found
Myer had gone two miles back into the
mountains. All Friday night we chased
him from place to place over the mountains,
and finally captured him just about day
light at the home of a relative named
Gobble. A little further on we got
Burknet in a coal mine. We covered both
men with guns, and thev had to give up
without a struggle. Burknet is a very
clever counterfeiter, but the other two are
not well known in criminal circles."

The people of the Sonthside in the neigh

of excitement about 8 o'clock last evening.
For a short time visions ot murder and
other foul crimes were floating about The
cause of it all was the cry ot "Help!"
"Police!" and "Murder!" comincr from the
residence ot William Shannon at Nineteenth
street and Merriman's alley.
The usual crowd quiokly gathered, but
none had the courage to enter, as the pan
demonium reigning within made it seem as
thouzli the entire interior was being de
molished. Finally Qfficer Thomas J. Mor

in the vicinity, was attracted to the scene.
He at once entered the house nnd placed
the occupants under arrest. When mat
ters had quieted down a little he found
that William Shannon and his daughter
Kate were the bellicereats and thev were
removed to the Twenty-eighth ward sta
tion. Upon arrival there it was found that
Shannon was suffering severely from his
wounds and he was removed to the South
side Hospital.
Shannon said that he was a puddler and
worked at Six-Mile Ferry and that his fam
ily, consisting of his wife, son and daughter,
lived on Nineteenth street and would not
allow him to remain at borne. He called
there last evening ami was ordered to leave,
which he declined to do and the discussion
eventually ended in a row. During the
melee Shannon was struck on the forehead
with a tea-kettle in the hands of his
daughter and the scalding contents flew over
him, burning him severely. He was resting
quite easily at the hospital and will be
aoie to attend the hearing this mornipg.
His daughter was locked up on a charge of
disorderly conduct

DBIVEN TO HIS DEATH,
A Demented Man's Serious Interpretation
of a Magistrate's Threat.
Frederick Wilson, colored, committed
suicide by jumping into the Allegheny
river, at the foot of Fourteenth street, Fri
day afternoon. Wilson was about 30 years
of age. He was somewhat demented and
had been arrested a number of times for
v.-grancy, and the last time he was before a
Magistrate the latter said in a joking man-,
ner: "The next time you are arrested
we'll take you down to the river and drown
tvui Tf uauu( .,w.tt.i, nju. llic ICUJ.I&
seriously, and it preyed on his mind.
Friday afternoon he made the remark
that he would drown himself and not give
tbe police a chance. He started for the
river and made his way to a coal float
moored at the foot of Fourteenth street
Walking to the edge he jumped into the
river. A number of ri vermen were at work
on the float, but it is said they made no
eflort to save him, and he drowned before
their eyes. The body has not been recov
ered. Wilson came here from near Park
ersburg, W. Va.
Postmaster Gilleland, of Alleghany, Lles'in
a Most Precarlont Condition.
At a late hour last night Postmaster John
A. Gilleland, of Allegheny, who has been
lying at the point ot death for several days
past, was reported as still being in a very
precarious condition. His illness is due to
a complication of diseases which are of such
a nature that the paticrt requires the undi
vided attention of several "physicians who
can be iound almost constantly' at the Post
master's bedside.
On Friday a medical consultation was
held in which it was decided that the in
valid was in a most alarming condition, and
if a change for the better did not soon take
place Mr. Gilleland's death was a certainty.
A GASOLINE STOVE EXPLODEa
Shadyside has another sensation. That
exclusive and aristocratic section had not
recovered from the shock caused by the
desperate duel on the streets Friday after
noon until the announcement was mads
that Charles Eofley & Son, who have been
conducting a large greenhouse on Belle
fonte street had mysteriously disappeared.
The cause of their departure is unknown,
but it is claimed that numerous unpaid bills
are left behind, and it is believed the florists
have gone to Canada,
The senior Boffey enjoyed the reputation
of being the most expert landscape gardener
nnd floriculturist in the city. He is an
Englishman, and was at one time landscape
gardener for ex-Premier Gladstone, having
charge of the vast gardens about the Grand
Old Man's residence at Hawarden. Boffey
is a plain man, a hard worker and has a
wife and ten children. They lived in a
small, unpretentious house, on Copeland
street, and Boffey, during the past four or
five years, has been employed by many
wealthy East End residents to supervise the
arrangement of their lawns and gardens.
Roffpy Knrir His Basin.
Lost summer while emploved at the resi
dence of J. H. Park he met and interested
A. K. Stevenson, the well-known attorney,
who was seeking information to be used in
the construction of a private conservatory.
Boffey's knowledge of the floral science
pleased the attorney, and in their subse
quent discussions on the subject they ar
ranged to go into business. Mr. Stevenson
desired to help the man along, and made an
agreement by which the plans for the green
house were enlarged and the building
constructed according to Boffey's ideas
When completed it was stocked from Mr.
Stevenson's house conservatory and from
large purchases made at Tiis expense. The
business arrangement wa3 that from No
vember until the first of the present month
Bofley should have the receipts of the busi
ness to live upon, and after that he was to
receive $100 a month and a half interest in
the business. His half of the profits were
to be held back and allowed to accumulate
until they covered the actual cost of the
business, when it was all to be turned over
to him. The business started nnder the
firm name of C Boffey & Son.
Built TJp a Good Business.
They took charge early in the winter and
by all the arts at their command developed
the stock of plants and cuttings to an extra
ordinary extent. They sold cheaply and
the business began to boom in a short time.
Within a few weeks when the general de
mand for flowers began, their prices were so
low that people all over the East End
flocked to the place and flowers were sold
by the wagon load.
Last Friday week young Boflev. aired
about 18, went to Canada. His father talked
to Mr. Stevenson that evening and the next
afternoon, but said not a word abont dissat
isfaction with his place or his position. On
Saturday night Boffey disappeared. Be
tween 4 and C o'clock on the morning of
Decoration Day the goods from Boffey's
house were taken away in wagons and since
that time none of the family have been seen
or heard of.
A couple of weeks ago Boffey offered to
sell half the greenhouse business to Bobert
Fulton, an employe at Murdoch's, and the
money was to have been paid the day Bof
fey left, but Fulton reconsidered, apd did
not buy. Fulton has since assumed charge
under an arrangement with Mr. Stevenson.
It seems Boffey is the only person who
loses to any extent by his erratic conduct.
Aside from what he has taken-in from the
sale of flowers it is not known that he has
taken anything, but as he left no account
books behind there is no way of learning
how much he had taken in. His debts, it is
thought, could have been paid with 5200.

CAME TO THE SURFACE.
Bodies of the Drowned Blse From the
Bottom of the River Aftar a Thunder
stormMichael Clancy's DIiappcaranC3
.Explained nt Iast.
The thunderstorm of Thursday night
brought to the surface several more bodies
of persons who have been drowned within
the. past two months, showing the peculiar
influence exerted by nature's great electrical
forces.
On Friday evening as a towboat was puff
ing down the Ohio river, just above Dix
znont, the paddle wheel struck an object
which, on investigation, proved to be a
human body. It was swelled up to fearful
proportions, and so black that it was
thought to be that of n colored man. The
crew put off in a skiff, and towed it to shore
at Dlxmont, notified tbe authorities and
went on. The Coroner yesterday had
the body brought to the morgue,
where it was identified as Michael
Clancy, the city whartboat tender who dis
appeared last Saturday night. At first it
was believed that Clancy had been mur
dered and thrown into the river, but the
police investigated the matter carefully and
decided that he had fallen into the river
and drowned. There were no marks on the
body to indicate that he had been abused
before falling into the water. Clancywas
SI years of age, and had been in the city's
employ for years. He was sober, indus
trious and leaves a fatnilr.
Yesterday morning the little body of
John Devers, aged 6 years, was taken from
the Allegheny river at the foot of Tenth
street The .little fellow was drowned
April 1. His parents lived on a jo-boat at
the foot of Eleventh street. On the morn
ing he fell into the river there was no one
on the boat bnt himself and his mother.
She was busy at work inside, and the
lad was playing outside. His noisy prattle
ceased, bnt'the mother thought nothing of
it for nenrly an hour. When she went to
look for him he was gone, but
it was not until evening that the
truth forced itself upon her. The
boy had fallen overboard. He hod floated
under a raft within 103 yards of tbe boat
and from under the same raft he floated
yesterday. The body was identified at the
morgue by the mother by the clothing. Im
mediate burial was necessary, owing to the
condition of the remain.
Another unknown body was found at the
foot of Tenth street on Friday evening. He
had been in the river a longtime and was
so disfigured by the water that identifica
tion would be next to impossible. The
body was b uried yesterday.
A Careless Bicycle Blder.
In the West Park of Allegheny last even
ing Miss Maggie Cahill, of No. 1 Marquis
street, was Tan down by a bicycle rider and
severely injured. She had a heavy basket
of marketing on her arm a the time, and,
although the rider did not warn her until
he was directly behind, he never stopped to
assist her to her feet or help her pick up her
supplies, but rode gaily on.

Good Fight and Landed
Three Men.
Xast evening while going home Officer
Henry Conway noticed a colored and a
white man engaged in a fight at Penn ave
nue and Butler street. He had on citizen's
clothes, but he attempted to put the men
under arrest. He caught both of them aud
took them toward the box. An immense
crowd had by this time assembled and
cheered the men to resist. The colored man
broke loose and escaped, nnd, as the police
man himself was colored, this raised tho
ire of the croud, and they all tried to see
who could lilt the policeman the hardest.
After a hard fight tho oflicer succeeded in
calling uie pauui . s.i .;. wsa. ii.iss muu

All good cooks admit that the
proper way to prepare vegetables,
meat, cereals, etc., is to steam them.
We have an abundance of "Steam
ers," but few have struck the popu
lar fancy.
Some are too dear. Others so
elaborate they would require a me
chanical engineer to operate them
properly.
So the ordinary housekeeper gets
discouraged and after paying $3 or
$4. for her steamer, carefully stows it
away and tries to forget all about it.
We are confident we have the
"steamer" you all want.
THE WARREN STEAM COOKER,
ONLY QO CENTS.
It is cheap and it is as easy to
operate as a saucepan. We don't
expect you to take our word for this.
You have seen so many "steamers"
which were failures you are skeptical.
Let us prove it.
Come and Eat With US.
During all this week we will have
an exhibit of this Steamer at our
Pittsburg and Allegheny stores.
We want you to come and see
what a wonderfully cheap and simple
thing it is.
We want to show you that it is
easier to cook with this Steamer than
in the ordinary way.
And we want to show you thai
anything pooked in this steamer is 50
per cent better than if cooked in the
old way.
COME AND SEE US.
We will give you a dish of the
finest pudding you ever ate.
