A SUNDAY XOT DEVOTED TO TTORSEIP
rcr associated rniss.i
Minneapolis, Minn., June 5. The
sanctity of the American Sabbath was Ra
cred to no man to-day. In the mad whirl
pool of political hopes and fears men forgot
their Christian faith and remembered only
their political creed; lcrgot their Maker
and their Savior and worshiped only at
the shrine of their political idols.
At 11 o'cloc'c, when the tolling bells
called the devout to Christian worship, the
lobbies of the leading hotels were filled
with a surging, seething mass of eicitcd
humanity, and when the minister in the
r.eiirlibor'ncr church led the opening prayer
the corridors of the hotels were resounding
with the cheers and counter-cheers for Ben
jamin F. Harrison and James G. Blaine.
All day long this excitement continued,
and as words go out over the wires to-night
the fierce competition of political enthu
siasm continues with increasing vigor.
It has been a day of kaleidoscopic
changes. The situation has been constantly
shitti!.?, constantly varying, and the wave
of sentiment that swept over the assemblage
in one hour would be followed by a wave of
reaction the next, until .n the end it was
difficult indeed to sum up the total of politi
cal sentiment: to ascertain the measure of
the ebb and flow, the true drifts of the po
litical feeling.
Harrison 5Urengtli ft Surprise.
In one respect the day has been one of
surprise, and the significance of that sur
prise can only be weighed by the events of
the fnture. The Harrison leaders have
rallied their forces and the demoralization
of last night has given place to energy,
vigor and resolution to-night. Indeed, of
the two treat factions into which the Re
publican party is divided, the administra
tion clement is as strong in leadership, jio
litieal ca;rneity aud orsanization as even
the experienced leaders who head the oppo
sition. All this has been a surprise for those who
have kept aloot from both factions, fully
espectant that the wave of Blaine senti
ment that swept over the lai.d at 2 o'clock
Yesterday afternoon would be irresistible in
its force, and that to-day would find gath
ered in its embrace all the scattered uuin
structed delegates of the Republican party.
But such has not been the case: indeed, to
a close observer it is very apparent that the
Harrison forces are r.s strong to-day as they
were HI hours ago. The Blaine people say
that ail this is the lcsult of organization;
that the Harrisoi roanaserc are holding the
rank and file of the delegations loyally to
their leader, but that when the decisive
bat'Ie comes the Maine enthusiasm will
carry all before it, and the distinguished
yon of Maine be nominated on the first
ballot. The Harrison leaders laugh at these
predictions cf their opponents, and say that
they are stronger to-day than they have
ever been and the reason of the increasing
strength is that the delegatesto the National
Corention liave become weary of the tem
porizing of ex-Secretary Blaine, and have
found in his retirement from the Cabinet
and his entrance into the contest at this
late hour an evidence of bad faith, dis
loyalty and dt'plicity toward the President
ol tl.e United States.
7?ir Claims of the Administration 3Icn.
Men whose fortune it has been to attend
all of die Republican conventions of the
last 2j vears; men who have observed every
shifting of the political atmosphere anil
have become pilots of polities, say to-night
that the convention of 1802 is unique in the
discrepancy which it presents between the
claims of the contesting candidates. There
will be 920 delegates in the convention that
is to be called to order by Chairman Clark
soii at 12 on Tuesday next. Of this number
the Harrison manasers officially announce
to-night that the Chief w ill receive the
votes of 5"S0, while the Blaine leaders,
though scorning to descend to details, main
tain with lofty confidence that their candi
date will receive at least three-fifths of the
votes of the convention and w ill be nomi
nated bv acclamation. Of course these
counter-claims cannot possibly both be ac
curate, and this very discrepancy leads
many to suppose to-night that both are
vldelv extravagant in their assertions.
Xaturally, thereiore, there is a feeling of
great incredulity among those who are un
committed to either candidate.
Of one thing only is the casual political
observer sure, and that is that bitter feeling
is being ei.gendercd in the party ranks with
every passing hour, and that with Blaine
and Harrison ill the field the result of the
tenth Republican Convention whatever
that result may be will leave behind it
poignant legrets. bitter disappointments,
and hard icclinr; of hostility toward the
succcsstul candidate.
3I(Kintvj"s Name Freely Handled.
It is all this rather than the usual senti
ment for favorite sons that gives rise to
night to all the rnmors of dark horses and
compromise candidates. There is no doubt
that the desire for a third candidate, for a
man mm edited to and unidentified with
either of thee political factions, is growing
in the public mind, and against this grow
ing sentiment both factions feel that they
must now compete.
Ttie name most frequently mentioned
among the list of dark horses is that of
AVilliaru McKinley, Jr., Governor of Ohio.
Inquiries are alieady being made as to his
ability to receive the solid support of the
Ohio delegation in case the great leaders
turn to a dark horse for a candidate The
sensational quarrels of Ohio Republicans
are proverbial and the vital question is:
"YVmd Koraker and his friends favor
McKinley?" This question is answered in
the affirmative to-night by many of Fora
ker's friends, but the ex-Governor himself
maintains a discreet silence.
Itismniored that John Sherman, the
great Ohio Senator, would be Foraker's
ia.-orite in case the Buckeye delegation
were called upon to furnish a candidate, as
Foiakcr would almost certainly succeed
Sherman in the Senate should the latter be
called to the Presidency on the 4th of
March. Sherman, too, has hosts of iriends
in other State delegations, but he is no
more popular than the young Napoleon of
protection, as the special indoisement
wh-cli is to be given to the McKinley bill
makes its author a peculiarly fitting candi
date just at this time.
Alger Still in the Noisy King;.
The name of Alger is still the watchword
of the Michigan delegation, and his name
will certainly be presented to the conven
tion. Most of the delegates from his State
are for Blaine for second choice, but the
General's closest friends are rather cherish
ishing the hope that recent developments
mav be such tbaV Blaine.-people will
rally to Alger as seci&i choice.
There is no denial on the part of certain'
of the Iowa delegates that they are Ipokjng
longingly for an occasion which will justify
the presentation of Senator Allison as the
candidate of the Hawkeye State, and the
gravity of the political situation in their
'State adds to the general availability of
their candidate.
Senator Shelby Cullom, of Illinois, Hon.
Jeremiah Husk, "of AYisconsin, and White
law Iteid, of New York, are also freely dis
cussed, and it is believed each would receive
the votes of his State delegation in case of
the retirement of both Harrison and Blaine.
Cullom is the only one of these men on the
ground, and he is" a delegate at large from
Illinois and an avowed Harrison man. He
is evidently sincere in his loyalty to the
President, "but he kept rather busy this
evening denying the rumors of his candi
ditcy and in insisting that Harrison must be
the man.
CAUGHT ON THE FLY.
Some StraKslins; Sentiment Secured at Chl-cico-
Sonirand a Surprise How Soms
of the Delegates Sizs Up Blaine's Resig
nation. Chicago, June 5. Large crowds of Re
publicans on their way to the Minneapolis
Convention congregated in the hotels to
day. The topic of conversation was the
Blaine resignation, aud, while Mr. Blaine's
adherents were enthusiastic, the Harrison
men held steadily to their faith.
Some members" of the Cincinnati Blaine
Club created a sensation by appearing with
hands full of waving pampas, plumes and
wheat heads. "American wheat and pro
tection," "The plumed Knight," were the
cries, ai.d the crowd took them up. Alger
had a little boom early in the day on the
arrival of a delegation of prominent lum
bermen from Saginaw.
The Cincinnati Blaine Glee Club visited
the Grand Pacific and made the corridors
ring with their songs. One ol them,
"Bliine is the Maul" took exceedingly
well until some one looked over the shoul
der of one ot th singers and saw that the
words were written "Harrison is the Man."
On the announcement of the result of his
peep a wild yell went up that drowned the
singers' voices.
James R. Henry, of Indianapolis, said
he didn't think Blaine's resignation affects
Harrison's chances in the least. "Blaine's
chances in Indiana," said he, "if
he be nominated will be fully as
good as they were the last time,
when Cleveland beat him by 7,000 votes in
the State." Mr. Henry thought the pros
pects for a dark horse are exceedingly good,
"and if Harrison cannot get it." said he.
"I hope the dark .horse will. Our delegates
would swing to McKinley, of course."
R. B. Hawley, of Galveston, Tex., de
clared he would vote for Harrison, and if
the President is not to be the candidate
then for Blaine. He does not want a dark
horse. The Texas delegation, said he, is
largelv for Harrison.
J. B. Smith, of Toledo, said the Ohio
delegation is divided Blaine 20, Harrison
2G. He thinks Harrison can carry the
pivotal States.
The Connecticut delegation remained in
the city but a short time. According to
Thomas Wallace, of Ansonia, the majority
of the delegates are for Blaine. Governor
Bulkley, heading the delegation, is for
Blaine.
B. Wilson Smith, postmaster at Lafayette,
Ind., talked warmly for Harrison, and said
it is astonishing how many Harrison voles
the letter of resignation made in Lafayette
vestcrdav.
BLAINE IN ONE BALLOT
Is Mm Tip Sent Out in a Cipher Dispatch
lom Minneapolis to Providence The
Scheme to Withdraw tho President's
Name.
Providence, It. I., June 5. Special
A member of the Republican State Com
mittee of Maine was in town this evening,
aud gave to a reporter some very interest
ing information. "Mr. Blaine will be nomi
nated on the first formal ballot," said this
gentleman. "I speak by the card, fori
hate here a cipher dispatch direct from
Minneapolis."
".May I ast irom wnoni it comes aslced
tbe reporter.
"I can only say that it could not come
from an' higher or better authority. It
advises me that the present plan is to take
an informal ballot by which it will be
shown Mr. Blaine has more than enough to
nominate him. Then a Harrison man, with
whom it has previously been arranged, will
formally withdraw the name ot Mr. Harri
son and move the nomination of Mr. Blaine
by acclamation. This will, of course, carry
the convention with a whoop, and there you
are."
"Were you surprised at the announce
ment of 5lr. Blaine's resignation to-day?"
asked the reporter.
"Fr.inkly, not in the least."
"Then you knew it was coming?"
"That I cannot say."
"Well, is it not a feet that Mr. Blaine
has all along been scheming to get the nom
ination?" "I am not authorized to speak for Mr.
Blaine, but I can assure you that his friends
have been working very hard and very
loyally to bring it about, and there is abso
lutely no doubt of their success. Mr.
Blaine did not resign uutil it was known
beyond the shadow ot a doubt that he had
surely more than enough votes in the con
vention to nominate him."
"Then," interrupted the reporter, "'you
make no disguise of the fact that Mr.Blaiue
is now personally lormally in the race, and
that his resignation to-day is virtually a
formal announcement of the fact?"
"As I told you before, I am not author
ized to speak lor him. That is all I have to
say to-night, and perhaps I have said more
now than I ought to."

IT LOOKS DOUBTFUL.
Captain Burns May Not Get One of
Boston's Pitchers.
ME. BUCKENBDEGER'S OPINION.
Ehret Is Tryinjr to Get Himself Into Con-
dition at Louisville.
ANOTHER INTERESTING RELAY RACE
Everybody in any way interested in the
local baseball club is thoroughly satisfied
that another good pitcher is needed. Cap
tain Burns is absolutely certain of this and
is trying his best to secure one of the Bos
ton pitchers and also a Boston outfielder.
But his efforts do not give much promise of
success, as the following dispatch from
Manager Buckenberger last evening to this
paper shows:
"Mr. Burns has been negotiating with
Boston for a pitcher and an outfielder, but
has not closed any deal as yet. His chances
of getting any of the Boston players do
not look very bright."
Captain Burns will be satisfied with any
one of the Boston pitchers,but theTriumvirs
are nor the people to help anybody out of a
difl'cultv. On several occasions they have
talked about releasing Clarkson, Lowe and
others, but as soon as any other club has
made application for the players
the releasing idea has been abandoned. The
Pittsburg club is prepared to make a big
oiler for Clarkson and the matter will likely
be definitely settled to-day. The Boston
Triumvirs cannot be forced to give up any
ot their players, but as they got such an
unduly good share of the "pool" divide be
fore the season commenced it might be ex
pected that thejr would be a little generous
now. But there is little sentiment in base
ball. But if the local club does not succeed in
securing a pitcher at Boston efforts will be
made elseweere. The management is look
ing in other directions and it may be that a
good man will be signed this week.
A dispatch from Louisville states that
Ehret is there and is trying to get himself
into condition as fast as he can. His fail
ure to get into condition this season has
been a verjr great loss to the club. Had he
been all right the team would certainly
have been in second place. The directors
of the club, however, are still in great
hopes of the team keeping up their good
worx under these dimcuities, ana that they
will do mnch better as soon as the pitching
force is strengthened.

The Fate or Tailemlers.
An Eastern writer says: While the New
Yorks continue to hover about with the
taileuders the attendance is decreasing.
This is a reminder of the fact that nothing
succeeds like success. To prove this the at
tendance at Decoration Day's games need
only be alluded to. A year ago in the
morning the New Yorks played to3,228 per
sons and this year to l,497l In the after
noon of the same day a year ago the crowd
wa 18.1G2 and this year it was reduced to
7.334, the smallest "attendance of the six
towns in which the game was played. As
a comparison and a recognition of enter
prise and the liberal expenditure of money
the attendance at the Brooklyn games may
be interesting. A year ago in the morning
there were 2,557 person, and in the after
noon there were 10,145. This year it led
the League in attendance, with" a total of
14,770 lor the day, of which 11,808 turned
out in tne afternoon.

parties to the Beading deal The solicitors
for the complainants will on Thursday,
June 30, ask the court for a preliminary in
junction against each of the defendants and
move forthe appointment of a receiver for
the Lehigh Valley Iiailroad Company.
It is alleged that the Philadelphia
and Beading Company - is exerting
all its power to divert passen
ger travel and lreight traffic from the
lines of the Lehigh Valley to the Beading
system, and if the lease is- not at once set
aside, the Lehigh Valley, when finally the
surrender ofthe lease m"u3t be decreed by
the courts, will not be able for a long period
of years to pay any dividends by reason of
this freight traffic and passenger travel
being diverted.
The directors of the Lehigh Valley Bail
road are to be held responsible for this
breach of faith as trustees of the stock
holders, and are asked to account for all
losses that may eventually result. Because
of this mismanagement and breach ot faith,
the stockholders ask for a receiver of the
Lehigh Valley to control its affairs uutil
the rights shall be determined. A prelim
inary injunction is asked for to stop the
further waste and mismanagement, all di
version of freight and passenger traffic and
all further operations under the lease by an
insolvent corporation until final hearing.
The parties to the suit are stockholders of
the Lciiieh Vallev Kailroad Company, who
sue as well lor themselves as for all other
stockholders who shall choose to become
parties to this suit and contribute to the ex
penses thereof.

NEWSY NOTES FROM NEARBT TOWNS
fSPECTAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCn.l
Bbaddock, June 5. At daybreak this
morning a distressing scene occurred in a
large tenement house, just off" Braddock
avenue in an alley, in which a Hungarian,
Michael Krai, aged 29, and Marko Dekvor
vitch, aged 42, were burned to death, while
Frank Biawitch, aged 32, had both ears
burned off, and Joseph Biawitch, the one
legged boarding house keeper.had the stump
so badly burned that it is thought further
amputation will be necessary.
Three families occupied the house, which
contained nine rooms. In the front part
Blawiteh lived and kept 17 boarders in
three rooms. The, boarders had been up all
night, having a high time over a keg of
beer. Early this morning their appetites
began to crave, and the fire was lit in order
to prepare some breakfast The fire did not
burn rapidly enough to suit Dekvorvitch.
He picked up the oil can, holding the spout
dowii upon the burnins: coal
Simultaneously there was a loud report,
and Dekvorvitch was covered with flames.
In an instant his clothing was burned from
his body. Krai, the other man who lost his
life, was above, asleep in one room and Mrs.
Blawiteh in another. The men, in their
drunken stupor, soon became terror stricken,
but one of them, more sober than the rest,
sent ia an alarm and the Volunteer fire
company soon responded.
There was no means of escape from the
top story except by a flight ot stairs, and
these bed been shut off by the flames.
Ladders were put up to the "windows, and
by tnis means the hremen saved Mrs.
Blawiteh. Her child was thrown from the
open window. Williini Bragton stood be
low with open arms and causht the baby.
Krai was -never awakened, add his body was
not discovered until the fire was extin
guished. Dekvorvitch displayed remarka
ble iierye after he had been burned, climb
ing into a second story window by me,ans of
a ladder and saving a trunk that belonged
to him. He and the two Biswitches were at
once removed to the fire department head
quarters, where Dekvorvitch died two hours
later.
The bodies of the two dead men were re
moved to Flannery's undertaking rooms.
'Squire Holtzman held an inquest this even
ing, and the jury brought in a verdict of
accidental death in Krai's case, and that
Dekvorvitch came to his end by his own
carelessness. The property belonged to
George E. Franset, of Allegheny; The
loss on the building will be about $500,
fully insured.

CREEDE'S TZ!? .IS ASUES-
A 81,000,000 Blaze Wipes Ont th Colorado
Mlnire; Cusnp of Jimtown Giant Pow
der Falls to Star the Ilames Sa'oons
Meanwhile Wide Open.
Denveb, June 5. The bustling camp of
Jimtown, which is separated from the fa
mous mining town of Creede by a mile and
a half, was almost totally destroyed by a
fire which started at 2:30 o'clock this morn
ing. The flames were started by an ex
plosion of coal oil, with which a family in
the Kinneavey block were starting a fire to
prepare breakfast.
As there was no Fire Department the
flames had it all their way, and in a short
time they burned through the rows of frame
buildings for a mile in the narrow gulch in
which the town is situated. Many houses
were blown up with giant powder in an at
tempt to stop the fire, but this had no effect,
for the flames leaped from one vacant space
to another and only stopped for the want of
material. Little, if anv 'of the contents
were saved, and there are hundreds ot fami
lies homeless, who will be provided for by
the people of Creede. '
"While the fire .was in progress the num
erous saloons were thrown open to the
crowd and liquor was free to all who might
desire it. The result was that many drunken
men were on the streets, but they did no
damage. One hifndred Deputy " Sheriffs
have been sworn in. and they will protect
the town against attempt of thieving by
persons, who, on occasions of this kind,
take advantage ofthe great distress.
The total loss is estimated at $1,000,000.
The heaviest losers are Alexander Hertler
&Co., saloon, building and stocks, 122,000;
Shackleford & Foster, Albany Hotel block,
fG.OOO; Shimer & Morse, ?7,500: Tompkins
Hardware Company, $20,000; "Willoughby
& Collier, 7,000; Levy & Bennedict's
block. $5,000; the Hard Terrace, composed
of 20 buildings, J8.000; Larry Byrne. S',000.
These are the most prominent losses, but
there are hundreds of others which will
bring the aggregate loss up to $1,000,000,
with an insurance of about $250,000. The
insurance is distributed among 20 or more
companies, ainotirr which are the Phcenix,
of Brooklyn, 52C.O00; Cobb, Wilson &
Bcnuedict. of Denver, $4,500; Traders, of
Chicago, $4,300; the Providence-Washington,

THERE is only just one
thing I have to say to you,
he remarked. I don'i be-'
lieve in keeping a good
thing to viyself; that's not
my style. I was looking
jor a suit, aiid after spend
ing half a day in the dif
ferent stores I stopped at
jfacksons'.
IS that all? Well, no, there s
no iise making a long story
of it. I just hit it right.
It isn't easy to astonish me,
but they did. They sold
me one of their, own make
Worsted Suits for $13. I
never saw the like before
jor that money or $5 more.
A suit to order could jit no bet
ter nor could it be made in
jiner style; besides, they
gave me this. I've
scarcely looked at it. Why,
it's a guarantee that they
will keep this suit in re
pair free of charge for me
for one year!
POINTER I should say it
is a good one, indeed, worth
knowing. Yes, they do that
with every stiit costing $10
or more. ' ' What a snap!"
FOR a bachelor that has no1,
one to mend his clothes for
him, just the thing. How
on earth they can do it I
don't know; that's their
business, ndt mine.
YO U know a good thing when
you see it. I don't quote
Sanplure very often, but I
will this time: "Go thou
and do likewise. ' ' Be sure
and let them give yoic the
guarantee stamped at the
