In reply to a question asked by Henry Labornchere, Mr. Balfour stated in the House of Commons to-day that all business would be finished June 28, and that Parliament could be dissolved on the same day. John O'Connor (Pamellite) called the at tention of the House to the reference made at the Ulster convention by Mr. Kane, Grand Master of the Belfast Orangemen, to General Lord Wolseley's alleged statement that he would call upon the people to pre vent the dismemberment of the Empire. Mr. O'Connor wanted the war office to ask General Wolseley to explain whether he had given the Ulsterites authority to state that he was prepared to lead them in a civil war against the forcss of the crown. It is a serious matter, Mr. O'Connor said, if the Government employs a man in General Wolseley's position who professes treasonable sentiments. It is not the first time that such statements have been made, and General AVolseley ought to be given an opportunity to repudiate them. The Government made no reply to Mr. O'Connor.

Tli roc. of Them Land on Fills Inland and Astonish the 'atives A Swede xx"ho Stands 7 Feet 4 Incurs In Ills Stocking Feet Seekini tVork. KevtXork, June 20. SpeciaL Three giants were landed on Ellis Island to-day from the Cunard line steamship Aurania. Two of the trio of big men were Irishmen, natives of Tipperary and Galway, the third nan being a son of Sweden. The Swede overtops by nine inches any immigrant ever landed on Ellis Island. He is a perfect Hercules in strength, and standing 7 I feet 4 inches in his stockings. With his boots on he is 7 feet 6 inches in height. He is proportionately built and weighs 300 pounds. His hands are as large as small hams, and his fingers as big as a baby's arm. . His thigh is as large around as a box's body, and his head takes a N'u, 11 hat to fit it. His name is Anders Gustav Anderson Harburg. He is only 19 vears old and he has not stopped growing. He is going to Chicago to secure employment at his trade as carpenter. The second giant who cast his enormous shadow on the little island to-day was Michael Nichols, of Tipperary. Now, Michael is a big fellow and he knows it. He knows, also, that his size will insure him a place on the Broadway squad. Michael learned on the other side that big men could get appointments as policemen in this city. When he landed about the first question he asked was, "Where is police headquarters?" He said he would lose no time in making an application. "But you've not got a pull," said one of the rcgistery clerks. '"Ef it's a pull oi need," answered Michael, displaying one of his brawny hands, "thin I need have no feav mr x Kin pun anytning with that fist" Michael stands 6 feet C. He is only 21 years old and weighs 280 pounds. The third big man is Thomas O'Brien. Thomas is the Galwav man. He is very tall, standing 6 feet 7, but he is very thinj He only weighs 170 pounds. He is 25 years old. His form cast a shadow some thing like that of a bean pole. He is look ing for work. HE CAN CARRY NEW YORK. The New Tork World Pronounces Strongly for Cleveland's Nomination. New York, June 20. The lYorhl (Dem.) will say editorially to-morrow: "The New York delegation to Chicago tied itself up with a resolution to support Senator Hill so long as he should be a candidate for the Presidency. Senator Hill is not a candi date, but is simply holding the delegation together as a means of beating Mr. Cleveland now a forlorn and futile hope. The February delegation was elected pri marily and ostensibly to secure the nomina tion ot Senator Hill, not to prevent in any event the nomination of another New York Democrat. The nomination of Mr. Hill has long been seen to be wholly improba ble. It is now known to be utterly impos sible. Why should the New York delegation lend itself to an effort to thwart the wish ot the Democracy of the nation, and to defeat the one New Yorker who can be nominated? This is not Democracy. It is not right It is not good politics. The claim that Mr. Cleveland cannot carry New York is ill founded. He can carry it if anv Democrat can. He is stronger in this State than any other man who is named. TICKETS COST $25. A Great Demand for Admission to the x lgwam on the Luke. t JrO V A STAFF COnnESFOKDElCT. Chicago, June 20. The Pennsylvania delegation met this evening, and each of the delegates was given three tickets for the convention and each alternate was given a ticket The convention tickets are on sale at several places, and are going off rapidly at $25 apiece. At this evening's meeting of the delega tion it was decided that Head, of Phila delphia, will go on the Committee on Besolutions, and a man named Hall will go on the Committee on Cre dentials. The Credentials Committee will be made up of Cleveland men, notwith standing the fact that the committee creat ing it is anti-Cleveland. There are but two contests from Pennsylvania. One is from Beaver county and the other from Al legheny. In both cases the action tof the State Convention will be indorsed, and Sen ator Dunlan and Messrs. Huckenstcin.and Frasher will onlv be spectators at the nom ination of Cleveland. Heebekx. THE ' FRIVOLOUS SENATORS. They Pretend to Bold a Session and Indulge in Nonsense. MITCHELL CREATES A SENSATION. Bis Ceard and Mustache Disappear In the Darkness of Night HOUSE MEMBERS BETTING ON GR0VER rrnOM A STATT COBKESPOXDBJTT.l Washington-, June 20. At the House to-day one would have thought from the appearance of things that Congress was not in session at all Not a Republican was to be seen, and two forlorn groups of Demo crats, two in one place and half a dozen in another, were the only signs of the pres ence of members of the House of Repre sentatives in the city, except at the Hotel Chamberlain, whese a merry party oi Demo cratic Senators and Representatives dis cussed mint juleps, brandy smashes and the chances at Chicago all in a breath. In all of these groups it was the concensus of oninion that Cleveland is the logical candi date, no matter what tteir personal opinion, may be, and that the nomination ol any one else would throw a chill like an Arctic wave over the blossoming spring time of the campaign. Humorous bets ran freely around all of these circles, but few were taken. The prevailing offers were that Cleveland would be nominated, coupled with a twin bet that if nominated he" would be elected. Gor man, even among his personal friends, seemed to have no political well wishers. One of the surprising phenomena of this struggle for the Presidental nomination is, thatamong the warm personal friends of the Maryland Senator few can be. found who wish him to be the national candidate. This is among th$ Democrats. From a political standpoint the Republicans favor Gorman, because they believe he would be the weakest candidate that could be nom inated. Byplay In the Senate. In the Senate, which pretended to hold a sort of a session, any byplay ssemed an agreeable relief to serious work. One thing that occasioned a deal of amusement was the presentation by nearly every one of the Senators on the floor of a petition praying that the manufacture and sale of cigarettes be prohibited. Several of the Senators who presented such petitions with a great deal of dignity were known to be themselves extremely fond of the weed in that form, and when they presented the regulation pe tition ripples "of laughter were heard about the chambers. Another bit of schoolboy fun was at the expense of Senator Hippie Mitchell, of Oregon, whose best friends could not recog nize him to-day. For so many years that. the memory ot a man runneth not to the contrary, the Senator, formerly so well known in Western Pennsylvania as a law yer in the old town of Butler, has worn a mustache and a long, flowing silken beard. This morning he presented himself at the main door of the chamber with a face as bare aud smooth as when he sat on his mother's knee. The doorkeeper stopped him as he was about to enter. "Why do you stop me?" asked the Sena tor with assumed indignation. "Oh, you are a member of the House?" said the doorkeeper interrogatively. "No, I am not," said the Senator sternly. "Then you are an ex-Senator?" "No, 1 am not an ex-benator. "Then yon can't go in." IIow Ho Fooled the Doorksrpor. "But I am a Senator now," said Mr. Mitchell, cheerfully. "Oh, no; you can't come that," said the doorkeeper. "Well," said Mitchell, "I guess I have had enough fun with you. I am Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, with my beard shaved off:" You should have seen that doorkeeper. He rank back in his chair in a dead faint In the chamber only one or two Senators knew ot Mitchell's transformation, and they kept quiet Mitchell took his seat Immediately among the 25 or 30 Senators present there were whisptred conferences by twos aud threes. Messengers- and ser-geant-at-arms were sent for to discover who the interloper xvas who had usurped Sena tor Mitchell's seat No one knew the man, but as he seemed to be perfectly at home, and was looking over the Mitchell mall, no one dared to question. Among the first to rise to present petitions was the strange in truder. "Mr. President," he said, in a full sono--ous voice, addressing Senator Mandersou, who was in the chair. "The Senator from" the President pro tern began, and then stopped. He did not recognize Mitchell at all. A laugh went round the chamber and Manderson, the voice and the Senator's seat having con- vmceu mm, nnisneu wnn tne word "Ure con," but spoken in such a tone that the little laugh swelled into a guffaw that re quired the gavel to subdue. Then Mitchell was surrounded by Senators who looked at him curiously and shook hands with him as though receiving an introduction to a new Senator. One unacquainted with the rigid rules of the Senate in regard to the exclusion of persons not entitled to the privileges of the chamber cannot conceive of the curiosity and alarm manifested by Senators "while Mitchell sat calmly and confidently in his seat, unknown to but one or two in the room. The transformation of the Oregon Senator is hot an improvement in personal appearance. With mustache and flowing beard bis expression was austere and ag gressive. With bare face, his mouth is weak and his smile puerile. I fancy the Duke de la Rochefoucauld, who recently married Miss Mitchell, would not like his father-in-law in this guise. Incidents Since Four Tear Ago. What a volume of incident has passed into history since President Harrison, then ex-Senator Harrison, was informed four vears ago in Indianapolis, instead of Wash- I- mgton, as he has been to-day, of his nom ination as tne candidate ot tne ltepubucan party for the Presidency? Coincident with that event the demand went forth that Blaine, the idol of the party, should be Secretary of State. In that position he dealt successfully with the most delicate in ternational questions that have arisen In the last quarter of a century. Twice war has seemed imminent and the foundries making naval supplies were worked to their utmost tension. Blaine and Harrison look up together as candidates for the nomination for the next Presidental term. Blaine resigns his posi tion of Secretary of State and his resigna tion is accepted, both communications be ing couched in the curtest language ever used in such circumstances. Harrison is nominated. Blaine is defeated in the most humiliating manner, aud as Harrison with much show of ceremony is being informed of bis nomination, Blaine stands beside the corpse of a favorite son who has be&n one of the few remaining pillars of his ruined life structure.

It Doesn't Wear Overshoes, Chews Ping, and Is Craxatiess Most Always. Chicago Herald. Colonel Richard J. Bright, sergeant-at arms of the Democratic National Conven tion, is going to be one of the picturesque features of the big gathering ot Democrats in town this week. Colonel Dick is an ideal Democrat He is big and heavy, has a strong ruddy face, which a White mus tache makes handsome, and a shock of snowy hair-tumbles all over his head. He wears a big straw hat these hot June days, and his shoes are low and have heavy soles. He wears yarn socks and his shirts are a part of bis personality. They are the kind of shirts old Kentucky gentlemen wear. They have long cuffs sewed on them, fas tened at the wrist with a pearl button, and the collars, also a part ot the garment, are low, wide and rolling. They look com fortable around the Colonel's brawny neck. Most of the time the Colonel has his coat off. He loves to sit in his shirt sleeves. He was sitting this way in his parlor at the Palmer Honse yesterday afternoon, and a couple of constituents from Indiana were with him. One of the constituents took a chew of tobacco. "Is that fine cut, sir?" asked the Colonel in his dignified way. "Yes, sir," responded the constituent, proffering the silver box in which it was tightly pressed. "Why don't you chew plug?" inquired the Colonel. "Well, I like fine cut better," he re sponded. "Do you wear overshoes?" "No," sir," said the constituent wonder inglv. "Why?" "Well, because," the Colonel answered, "I have observed that when a man gets to chewing fine cut and wearing Injun rubber overshoea and a white cravat he is on the highway to Republicanism. " CONGRESSMEN WATCHING. Their Opinions Are Divided But They Avoid Positive Predictions as to the Re sult Hill Satlsfl?d so Far as Ho is Per sonally Concerned. Washington, June-20. Special The struggle at Chicago is naturally watched with the keenest interest by the compara tively few Democratic Congressmen who still remain in Washington. There is a great diversity of opinion among them as to the final outcome of , the con vention and positive predict ions as a rule are avoided. The anti-Cleveland Democrats here show no signs of weak ening as yet In conversation to-day with a number of them they expressed the ut most admiration for the firm and loyal atti tude ot the New York delegation at Chicago toward the leader of their choice and the Drincinles which he represents. They said that it was evident that the New York delegation had not been moved in the slightest degree by the threats, per suasions, and stratagems of their opponents. All tliis talk about combinations in favor of outside candidates has failed to make any impression on the repre sentatives ot the regular Democ racy ' of New York and undoubtedly they will remain faithful to the end. Senator Hill is still calmly reviewing the situation from his quiet apartments in the Hotel Arlington, and professes, as he has from the start, entire satisfaction from the develop ments at Chicago, so far as he is acquainted with them. The only other Democratic Presidental possibility in the city at present is Colonel Morrison," who preserves a discreet silence as to the reports connecting his name with the Democratio ticket He was asked to make a statement from his point of view this morning but po litely declined for the reason that anything which he might -say would be liable to misconstruction, and might un necessarily complicate the work of the con vention. "Senator Mills, of Texas, went to Chicago last night. THE PET OF THE TOWN. His Wife Horsewhips Him for Running Away With Another Woman. Asbury Park, June 20. Special' Not long after this town was founded by James A. Bradley a child was born to Charles and Mary Hurley. It was a boy, and being the first baby born here was named Asbury. There was a great time at the christen'ing,and Mr. Bradley presented him with a solid silver cup." Until he was 10 years old the child was the pet of the town and since that time he has kept himself before the neonle bv his actions which have been in opposition to all rules and laws laid down by the founders. Two vears ago Asbury fell in love with Mamie Dillon and because, she wonld not marry him he shot at her three times. While he 'was languishing in jail Mamie tried to take poison and when her lover was par doned she married him. On Saturday night Asbury went to New York accompanied by Miss Anuie French, one ot ms neighbors. His wife heard of thp trip and waited at the depot for the couple. They returned last night and Mrs. Hurley at once attacked the pair with a heavy umbrella she carried. Both the man and woman received a severe beating and the assault was continued to such length thai Officer Borden arrested the trio and .locked tbem up in Park Hall. Mrs. Hurley was discharged this morning. Asbury was fined $25 and Annie $10. Miss French paid her fine, but Asbury will prob ably have to spend the next three days be hind the bars.

LEADING NEW YORKERS BID GODSPEED TSrECIAL TELEGRAM TO TnE DtSF-ATCIT.I New York, June 20. The Irish Nation al League of America a week ago appointed M. D. Gallagher and William Lyman, of this city; O'Neill Ryan, of St, Loois, and George Sweeney, of Cincinnati, commis sioners to go to Ireland and try to unite the warring narty factions there. They are to sail on Wednesday on the Cify of Chicago. At Cooper Union 'to night a public meeting was held under the direction ot the Municipal Council of this city, to tender godspeed to the commis sioners. American and Irish flags hung side by side on the walls and the back of the platform. Over the platform was a piece of canvas bearing the words, "Ire land's need unity and independence." Ex-Postmaster General Thomas L. James presided. On the platform sat the four commissioners, Judge M. V. Gannon, of Omaha, President of the Irish National League; Joseph D. Weldrick, John P. Del ahanty, P. J. Tynan, M. J. Langan, Robert Blissert, Michael J. Carew and John Coyle. From a Welsh-American Standpoint. General James said that he sprang from a race whose representatives in the British Parliament voted solidly for home rule. He referred to the Welshmen. "Tho danger to home rule," he went on, "seems to lie in the warring factions in Ireland. We who are assembled here have a right to ask for union. The true way to vindicate Par hell's memory is to complete his life work." When General James uttered this last sentence every one in the audience jumped up and cheered heartily. Judge Gannon received a hearty welcome when he came to the lront of the platform. "If I lack the graces of oratory a New York audience expects," he began, "I beg you to be lenient For 2G years I've been ith the cow'boys of the West." "Yes," broke in a man in the audience, "and you were with the Fenians in Ire land." Cheers and laughter. "We've got to make the people in Ireland come to gether," Judge Gannon went on. "There are a lot of partisans over there who won't unite, and I want you to Bay from this hall that they must unite. A great English man has repented in his last hours at the treatment Ireland has received. Let us give him a chance now. To do that there, mnst be union in Ireland." ' Tho Mainstay of the Irish Canse. 'The Irish National League of America," said O'Neill Ryan, "represents the peoplo in this country who are the mainstay of the Irish cause. It we make the people on the other side realize that we'll stand no non sense, they'll come together. That's what we're going to try to do in Ireland. As General James has said, the man who sows dissension in the ranks is a traitor." "Healy, Tim Healy's the man." "Yes, and the priests," cried the crowd. A shower of hisses greeted the mention of Healy's name. "J name no man," resumed Mr. Ryan, 'Jiiit posterity will brand him." Mr. Gallagher in his speech told how the Irish National League had -contributed over 51,000,000 for Ireland. Incidentally he spoke of Michael Davitt The name was received with cheers and hisses. For a minute there was a battle between the friends and oppo nents of the founder of the Land League, but the cheers were the stronger. Too Mach Leader Worship in Ireland. "The trouble with the Irish people," said Mr. Gallagher, "is that they are too wrapt up in leaders and divide into factions. Americans love America first and the lead ers afterward. That's what Irishmen must do. We shall tell the people of the old country that not a dollar will be given to one side to help crush the other." Men in the audience cried that Mr. Healy was the cause of all the trouble. "In God's name," said Mr. Gallagher, "mention no names. We should not be factioiiists, and we don't want to go to Ireland to engage in a faction fight" A resolution was adopted, asking the people of Ireland to unite on a common platform and fight for home rule. WASHINGTONIANS MYSTIFIED. They Do Not Know Whether Depew Has Been Offered the Secretaryship of Stato Ramors Conflict Concerning ths State of Affairs In the Cabinet Vacancy. Washington, Juno 20. Special.' So far as is known publicly in this city nothing has been definitely settled yet in regard to the matter of Mr. Depew and the Secretary ship of Slate. It is positively asserted on good authority that a member of the Cabi net said to-day that he expected the nomi nation of Mr. Depew to be sent to the Sen ate next Wednesday. This would certainly imply that Mr. De pew has already accepted the offer said to have been made to him last Saturday by the President Ou the other hand several lead ing Republicans supposed to have intimate knowledge of what is going on at,the White House have expressed the opinion to-day that Mr. Depew is not likely to be the next Sec retary of State. Colonel Shepard is one of tnose who .entertains tms view ot the matter.- Amid these conflicting reports the Washington public .has become decidedly mystified and is disposed to await official action with patience. Among the pieces of gossip floating around to-day was one to the effect that a dispatch had been received from Minister Lincoln at London directed to Mr. Depew at the Department of State. It is also re ported in some quarters here to-day that the Vanderbilts have given Mr. Depew to understand that they would feel highly honored by his selection for so important an office as the Secretaryship of State and that he could accept the same without prejudice to his resumption oi his duties in connection with their interests at some subsequent time.

Superintendent Waller Endeavors to Se cure Higher Wages for Woman Instruc torsMatters Catling; for Special At. tentlon From the School Authorities of tho Commonwealth. Habrisbubg, June 20. Superintendent of Public Instruction D. J. Waller, Jr., is making an earnest effort at present to se cure higher wages for teachers in certain localities for the coming year, and also to obtain an increase of the school term. Some figures which he oites in this connection are of considerable interest, and prove most conclusively that some steps should be taken as soon as possible to remedy the ex sting condition of affairs. In East Berlin the salary of the female teachers is only $24 a month; in Tyrone It is $23 SO a month for both male and female teachers; Tvrone, in fact, is one oi the very few places in the State in which work is paid for in the abstract and not according to the question of sex. Sharpsburg dis trict averages ?111 11 per month for its male teachers and only 517 a month for its female teachers. In Beaver borough, Beaver county, the salary of the men averages S181 25; the eal ary of the women but 558 33. At Beaver Falls the discrepancy is still greater, "the salary of males averaging $156 23 a month; the salary oi the females but $38 60; at New Brighton, Beaver county, men's salaries average $138 88; women's $40 52; in Roch ester district, men receive on an aver age $125 a month, women but $43 46. Cole rain district, Bedford county, is not liberal to either sex,. paying tho men but 524 33, and the women $22 75. In IHarrison dis trict there is the rather remarkable dis tinction of 1 cent a month in favor of female teachers, they receiving $24 02, while the men get $24 01. The difference is not very startling, but it is refreshing to note that at least one dis trict in this great Commonwealth acknowl edges the fitness of women to be educators of the youth. There are scores of districts that employ women exclusively, but they pay them extremely low wages, not more than $23 or $28 a month. Thee schools, as a rule, average from 50 to 100 pupils each, so that the position of instructor therein is by no means a sinecure. Reading, again, gives its male teachers $104 29 a month, its female teachers $40 80. Leroysville pays the men $77 77, the women $22. Sayre gives the men $100, women $34 80. ." Troy borough, Bradford county, pays males $133 33, and women $43. Centerville gives men $100, women, $35. Coatesville, Chester county, gives men $112 23, and .women $47 62. Clear field borough pays men $125, women $40 62. For low salaries, Thompson, Fulton County, takes the palm, paying but 514 a month; Bellast gives but $15 20; Greenwood, Craw ford County, $16; Penn Line, $16 50; Rich mond, S16 80, and a very large num ber of. school districts average less than $18 a month for teachers' salaries. The great discrimination between the salaries ot men and women extends to almost every portion of the State, not ex cepting the large cities, such as Philadel phia, Pittsburg, Allegheny, Scrantou, eta Tiiis is one of the matters in which Dr. Waller is anxious to see a change. In Philadelphia the average salary of the men is 5133 a month; of the women, it is ?60 24. In Allegheny county it is JG4 06 for the men, and $41 29 for th'e women. The average, school year for the entire State is now 7.40 months, but as the large places have 10 months' school, some of the smaller districts, which stand in the great est need of educational instruction, have but five months. This matter is now re ceiving special attention from the school authorities. BLAINE'S SAD MISSION. He Arrives In Chicago With His Wife and Daughter to Attend His Son's Funeral Arrangements for the Ceremony That is to Take Flace This Afternoon. CniCAGO, June 20 Special James G. Blaine accompanied by'hls wife and daugh ter, Miss Hattie Blaine, arrived in the city this afternoon and were driven directly to the McCormick residence, where the body of Emmons Blaine, the second son of the great statesman is awaiting burial. Cyrus H. McCormick, Jr was in waiting with a closed carriage at the depot and es corted the sorrow stricken family to the Northside. Tnero for a time father. mother,and sister were left alone with their dead. The journey from the East was made without event. Quite a crowd had collected at the depot, though the exact time of the family's arrival had- been kept a secret to avoid the rush and inconvenience resulting from the appearance of Mr. Blaine. As the party stepped from tho cars the people moved back out of respect and the care worn faces of the travelers moved many in the crowd to tears. The arrival of Mr. Blaine was a great relief to his son's widow, who has permitted none of the funeral arrangements to bo made until the wishes of the Blaine family had been consulted. The funeral service will bo held at the residence at 2:30 o'clock to-morrow after noon and the burial will be later in the week and private. Whether the body will be interred in Chicago has not been decided upon. Probably Dr. MoPherson of the Sec ond Presbyterian church will officiate, at the funeral service, but this has not been definitely sttled. No flowers had been re ceived at the house to-day, and the different members of the McCormick family, with the exception of Cyrus H. McCormick, Jr., were not to be seen. There were few callers at the house to-day but telegrams of condolence continue to pour in from all parts of the country. Many of these are addressed to the ex-Secretary of State. Every effort has been made at the request of Mrs. Emmons Blaine to avoid all officious ceremony. JUNIOR MECHANICS ASSEMBLE.

BOTH ESCAPE WITHOUT INJURY. Grasping tha lonncster He Throws Dimself Clear of the Tracks. A TOT FLATS BETWEEN THE KAILS The bravery of engineers and firemen on fast-flying trains has often been shown on railroad lines, but it remains for Fireman Bruce Cunningham, of engine 614, ot the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, ft show to what extent daring could go in the saving of human life. ' When the Bissell accommodation left Laughlin's station yesterday evening at 7:15 o'clock it in a few moments reached a speed of 30 miles an hour. Engineer C. 0. Brainard saw an object upon the track and so did Fireman Cunningham. The latter at once seemed to realize that it was that of a child and jumping through the cab window exclaimed to the engineer, "I'll have to roll" ran quickly along the boiler walk, dropped to the cow catcher, and seizing the child by its-dress threw himself into the ditch along side the.track. Neither he nor the child were hurt That's the story in a nut shelL Fireman Cunningham, who lives in Bis sell with his wife and two children, is a very modest man, and when asked last night to tell abont the incident was ndt at all communicative. He remarked, however, that when he saw the child he knew that he could save it, and with a word to the engi neer he made for the pilot, or cow-catcher. The Rest Was a Dream. Then, he said, he knew nothing more until he iound himself in the ditch. Asked whether he would do the same thing again he replied that he did 'not know, it would all depend upon circumstances. But while Mr. Cunningham was so mod est in his statement of the brave deed he had done, the other men who were ou the train were outspoken in their commenda tion of his pluck. Engineer C C. Brainard, who was at the throttle, says that when he first saw the object on the track he thought it to be a goat or a dog, but closer view showed it to be a child playing between the rails. "At the same moment," said he, "Cunning ham made out what it was, and shouting, 'I'll roll over with it, was, almost quicker than a flash, on the cowcatcher, and as the front of the pilot touched the dress of the child he had grasped it, and threw himself into the ditch. So eoon as I saw that there was a child ahead of us, I reversed the lever and put on the air, so that we had almost stopped when Cunningham caught the chiiti A brave . deed? Why in all my railroad experience I never saw anything like it The man took his life in his bands when he started to save the child, for you know there is mighty little foothold on the pilot of an engine. He again risked bis life when he threw himself into the ditch." With the Child In His Arms. Conductor L. F. McAbee and Baggage master D. McClintock state that when they went ahead to see what had caused the train tp stop so suddenly they found Cunningham lying in the ditch with the child in his arms. He was not hurt, nor was there a scratch upon the youngster's body, "but," as remarked Mr. McAbee, "no matter how long that baby boy lives, he will never come again so near death as he was this afternoon until he finally shuffles ofE" To whom the child belongs is a mystery to the trainmen. Conductor McAbee took it to the steps leading to the hillside, where a large number of Hungarians live, and so soon as he put the youngster at the bottom he began to climb the stairway. A Hun garian was asked whether the child be longed to him, but the only reply wa3 "Me no, no," and then the cold-blooded savage went on his way withont paying any fur ther attention to the tot whose narrow escape from death he had witnessed. A POLITICAL SCHEME. How Democrats May, in Effect, Capture gome Kepnbllcan States. Stcabt, Ta., June 20. General James B. Weaver, once the candidate of the Green back party for President and likely to be chosen as the People's party standard bearer this year, has been in Nebraska lately, and has talked in this part of Iowa as well. Captain Frank Defordf of this place, a leading Alliance man, is one of the General's most intimate friends. It is the opinioD of both, after carefully looking over the field, that the Democrats and Alliance men in Nebraska will not fuse this year. The Democrats, they think, would rather help the People's party carry Nebraska, Kansas and South Dakota, with an aggre gate electoral vote ot 22, in the hope that if the Republicans happen to get a bre plurality, as some leaders anticipate, the election'of President will bo thrown into the Democratic House of Representatives. ANIHKACITE MINEBS 0BOANIZ1NG. Tbry mil Form Branches of the United Mine Workers of America. Shamokijt, June 20.

The men in the Shamokin region are the first to take concerted action, and that was done Saturday at a monster picnic held here, when several thousand men were present, and a set ofresolutions was passed, but a copy of which is not to be had for love or money.
