rSPCCTAt, TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.1
New Xobk, SepL 6. Ex-President
Heveland accompanied by ex-Postmaster
leneral Don N. Dickinson ana Bobert
jncoln O'Brien, Mr. Cleveland's private
ecretary, arrived in New York this morn
op, on the Fall River steamboat. Pilgrim.
Ir. Cleveland had not intended returning
o town until later in the month
r tbe first week in October. At
he request of William O. Whitney and
thers, Mr. Dickinson cordially coinciding,
Ir. Dickinson visited Buzzard's Bay and
uggested a change In tbe ex-President's
irogramme. -In fact, he requested Mr.Cleve
and to return with him immediately to
e York. He conveved to the ex-Fres-dent
tbe wishes of Mr. Whitney and the
tthers, and Mr. Cleveland promptly
iomplied.
It was not intended that his visit should
e advertised lrom the housetops. Very
ew persons in .New York vere aware of the
neesage conveyed by Mr. Dickinson. Her--iman
Bidder, publisher ot the Slaati
Zeitung, who was one of Mr. Whitney's
;uets at the dinner on, Tuesday evening,
ind who called upon Mr. Cleveland to-day,
:xplained that knowledge of tbe contem
plated trip probably leaked out at Buzzard's
Bay, when the tickets to New York were
purchased.
The little party was driven from the
steamboat wharf to the Victoria Hotel. A
mite of apartments had been set aside for
Mr. Cleveland and his secretary. Addi-
Uonal parlors had been engaged lor the re
:eption of the expected visitors.
A Cczy Lltt'o Dinner Pi-rty.
Mr. Whitney called after breakfast, and,
after a short conversation with Mr. Cleve
land, he went to the Hoffman House, where
he saw Edward Murphy, Jr., chairman of
the. Democratic State Committee,
and Lieutenant Governor Shee
han, chairman of tbe Democratic
State Campaign Committee. Mr. Whitney
informed these gentlemen of Mr. Cleve
land's presence in'the citv, and of his desire
to see them and discuss the political situa
tion in the State. It was decided that this
could best be done in the evening when in
terrnptlon&jfrom visitors conld be avoided.
It was thereupon arranged that Mr. Cleve
land should be host at a little dinner party
st the Victoria in the evening. The guests,
other than Mr. Murphy and Mr. Sheehan,
were to be Richard Croker, the leader
of Tammany Hall; Husrh McLaughlin,
leader of the Brooklvn Democrats, and Mr.
Dickinson and Mr. Whitney, of the Na
tional Democratic Campaign Committee.
MfjIcLsttghHn seldom leaves his home in
the evening, but otherwise the programme
was carried out. The little dinner party
did not break up until late.
Cleveland's Letter Not Yet Written.
Mr. Cleveland may remain In town sev
eral days. Then, again, he may be ready
to return to Buzzard's Bay this afternoon.
He Is anxious to return by to-morrow even
ing certainly. His letter of acceptance is
scarcely under way, and Chairman Har
rity, of the National Democratic
Committee, and others ot Mr.
Cleveland's friends have importuned
htm to hastened it. Partisanship aside, the
Democrats at headquarters look upon Presi
dent Harrison's letter of acceptance as a
strong political document for his side. They
want a counter-blast.
The incidental conversations Mr. Cleve
land bad during the day made it manifest
that the Democratic machinery of the State
hich is to get out the vote on November
8 is largely directed by Murphy,
Sheehan, Sei ator Hill, Croker and Mc
Laughlin. Tiiis was emphasized at the din
ner in the evening, as one of
Mr. Cleveland's friends had announced
that kfs visit here at this
time was made for the purpose
of "allayljg any anxiety as to the
campaign in New York." The knowledge
that the gentlemen in control of the ma
chinery were working in unison was re
garded as significant.
Weak Spots and a Backward Campaign.
The situation in the State was iranklv
and honestly considered. It was admitted
that there were weak spots, and espe
cially in a number of the interior coun
ties. The reports from the up-country
Democrats who have been in the citv for
the last ftw days demonstrated this. There
was no attempt to disguise or withhold
from Mr. Clev eland the true situation.
But it was also made equally clear that the
Republicans were by no means in a fever of
enthusiasm over the prospects of their can
didates. The political season, in other
words, is backward, and steps must be taken
in tbe Democratic camp to force It
Mr. Cleveland listened attentively and
concluded that as soon as is compatible
with his other arrangements he would
visit New York every week
until tbe time comes for him
to retnrn permanently. He does not warm
up to the idea of making many, if any,
speeches, bnt he will be gnided by circum
stances. His health is good, and he is as
aarK as manogany.
Senator Hill at taut Placated.
When the party filed out of the ladies'
entrance on Fifth avenue, Lieutenant Gov
ernor Sheehan paired off in the lead with
Mr. Croker. Mr. Whitney came next, and
Don Dickinson walked with Mr. Murphy,
all going to the Hoffman House.
Mr. Whitney said they had a very pleas
ant dinner, and that Mr. Cleveland and all
were well pleased with the outlook. From
what conld be gathered from various
sources, the result of the conference
that lasted until midnight was that a
"treaty of peace" was signed between the
two factions of the Democracy in the State
and it is said that Benator Hill and his
reDresentatives have Seen nle.o.i.,1 ..j
that the Benator will speak in the comins
campaign. a

VERMONT HOT SO INCOTJB AGING.
The latest Returns Indicate a Republican
Plurality of Not Over 19,000.
"White Eivek Josctioh, Vt., Sept a
Eeturns from 228 towns give Waller's
majority over Smaller 18,794; over all,
17,398. The towns last reported do not
show a vote corresponding to those
first given, and as the vote of the IS remain
ing towns is small, the prospect now is that
the Republican majority will hardly ex
ceed, if it reaches, '19,000 for the whole
State, and the Kepnblican plurality will
hardly come up to the majority indicated
by the first returns.
No Dec's! on Tet at Bedford.
Bedford, Sept 8. Special The Con
gressional deadlock still continues. Three
sessions were held to-day, in which three
ballots were taken, which resulted as here
tofore: Hicks, 6; Scull, 3; Asbcom, 3.
Several times during the afternoon things
were quite interesting, but cool heads in
terfered and harmony again reigned su
preme. v
Another Adjournment at Salisbury,

idea that a candidate would be selected to

and to-nieht and 24 ballots were cast, mak
405 in all," The conferees then adjourned
until 9 o'clock to-morrow morning.

Jackson Charged With Larceny
From a Loan Association. ,
Harry Jackson, of the Sonthside, was
held for court yesterday morning by Magis

and loan association, of which Alderman
BIeichner,of the Twenty-fifth ward, Is Secre
tary. Last June be withdrew from the as
sociation and took out his money, amount
ing to 582 20.

covered that he was $100 short in his ac
count, and some time during July a neigh
bor told him of hearing Jackson boasting
about rccejving S100 more than belonged to
him when he drew out of the building and
loan association. 'Squire Bleichner went
to Jackson about the matter, but tbe latter
denied having made such a statement, and
also denied having the money. An infor-
meiiAn iroo maHA aeieinst r-itv h a av1
at the hearing the story as related above
was brought out. He furnished $500 for

The Prosecution Says Ha Was Drunk, and
HI Victim Offered No Besiatanoe.
Gbeensbubo, Sept a -Sipecfat The
case of 'David Blanzett, the constable who
shot and killed the Hungarian John Nad
san at Calumut two months ago, was put on
trial this evening.
Blanzett will try to show that the Hun
garian resisted arrest, and attempted to run
away when the fatal shot was hred. The
Commonwealth claims to have evidence,
however, that the constable was drunk and
that Nadsan did not try to get away, and
will insist upon a verdict of murder In tbe
first degree.
MAKING UP A TICKET.
George Miller Selected as the
publican Candidate for
Be-
CQSTROLLER OP THE CODHTI.
Three Gentlemen Who "Wish n Succeed
. Sheriff McCleary.
COLONEL STEWART AGAIN EOMtNATED
Slate-making is an occupation at present'
being followed assiduously by the Repub
lican leaders of this county. The slate
which is engaging 'the most, attention is
that for county offices, the official nomina
tions for whioh will not be made until next
Mar while the elections will not take place
until the following November.
Yesterday the first conclusion was
reached. The name of Oeorgo Miller was
placed at the head of the slate for County
Controller to succeed James Grier, the
prssent incumbent This announcement
caused some surprise when quietly passed
along the line last evening, but was ac
cepted as a good selection. There were,
several candidates for the place, among
them E. N. Randolph, who has for years
been a clerk in the Controller's office, bnt
no other candidate stood much show against
Miller.
It has long been understood among local
political leaders that Miller's appointment
to the Revenue Collectorship during the
present term of President Harrison is out
of the question and his selection as a candi
date for Controller takes him out of that
fight entirely. No other person will be
pushed for the Collectorship now until after
tbe election.
The selection of Miller was made at a
meeting of politicians downtown yesterday
afternoon, there being present Senator
Flinn, Chief Brown, County Commissioner
Weir, Begister Conner, Magistrate Gripp
and several others. It was understood that
the selection would be acceptable to both
wings of the party.
The selection ot a candidate for Sheriff
was also considered, but no agreement was
reached, the matter being laid over until
next week. The candidates for a place on,
this slate are John Doyle, James Richards
and Joseph Marshall, the latter a clerk and
the other two deputies in the Sheriff's office.
Bach had friends earnestly at work for him
in the meeting and it was impossible to. se
cure an agreement on anyone. There is a
tacit understanding among the three candi
dates that they will submit to tbe decision
of the slate committee, although they have
each already set up delegates in nearly
every district in the county.
BIEWAET NAMED AGAIN.
The Genial Colonel Yesterday Nominated
for Congress.
Colonel Andrew Stewart, of Ohio Pyle,
was yesterday nominated as the Republican
candidate forCongress in the Twenty-fourth
district, to fill the unexpired term of the
late A. K. Craig.
Tbe convention that nominated Colonel
Steward was held in Common Council
Chamber, Pittsburg City Hall. Emery
Thompson, of McKeesport, presided. W.
J. Guiler.of TJniontottn, nominated Colonel
Stewart and George M Hosack, a voung
lawyer of Favette county, seconded the
nomination. Both made earnest speeches
and when they had concluded, it was de
cided to make the nomination by acclama
tion. Colonel Stewart was then sent for. He
was recejjed with applause. He thanked
the convention for the honor and regard
shown him. He pledged himself if elected
to be ever faithful to the best interests of
the country and the Republican party. The
convention then adjourned.
Among those who attended the conven
tion were Frank Fuller and Charles S.
Beaton, of TJniontown, two of the most
earnest Republicans In Western Pennsyl
vania; E. F. Acheson, of Washington;
Recorder Von Bonnhorst, of Allegheny
county, and several Republicans from
Greene county.
E. F. Acheson said the breach in the party
in Greene county had been healed, and he
thought the normal vote would be cast
Chairman Dickey, of Greene, was also in the
city, and he said the Greene Republicans
will do all they can for the ticket. The
nomination ot Stewart is pleasing to the
Fayette people, and it is alleged insures
Republican success in the county.
VIRGINIA GOING DEMOCRATIC.
General Blahone Not So Popular With His
Party ns lie TJged to Be.
Rev. Dr. Jabez Hall, formerly pastor of
the Euclid Avenue Christian Church of
Cleveland, but now of Richmond, was at
the Union depot last evening going home.
He had been to Ohio visiting old friends.
He was transferred to the Virginia city
three years ago. He said the People's
party was an uncertain element in politics
in the State, but he thinks Virginia will go
for Cleveland. Mahone's course at Minne
apolis has disgruntled some of the Repub
licans, so that the little Geperal is not as
popular as he used to be. This disaffection
will also help the Bourbon Democracy to
land the State,
HOT MUCH PEOOF
Bnt Baker TVus Arrested on a Char;o of
Matlclona Mischief.
James Baker, a suspended police officer,
was arrested yesterday by Inspector Mc
Keivy and locked up in the Central station
on a charge of malicious mischief. Between
the hours of 3 and 6 o'clock yesterday morn
ing false alarms were turned in from boxes

promptly responded, only to find there was
no fire and that someone had pulled tbe
boxes. Chief Humphries yesterday re
ported this fact to Chief Brown and an in
vestigation was ordered. It was discovered
that Baker was seen in the neighborhood of
the Doxes, ana on the strengtn of this be
was arrested.

The famous Kepnblican Crab ot Giants
EeorcanlSfld.'
The Six-Footers' Republican Club, the
organization that has been so conspicuous
in Pittsburg in former campaigns, was re
organized last evening. Twenty-one men,
all of whom were six feet tall or over, met
at Republican, headquarters for that pur
pose. Several of them were members of the
old club. There were promises in ail from
33 Republicans of the required height to
join the club, and a temporary organization
was at once effected by selecting B. H.
Herzog for Chairman and George H. Colwes
for Secretary. The committees appointed
were: Organization, S. H. Colwes, Joseph
Kissock and M. G. Livingston; Headqnar
tero, C. A. Grimes, C. M. Brown and Frank
Izenour; Membership, F. W. Schidle, 8, L.

be made permanent, and the club will not
be disbanded at the close of the campaign,
as heretofore. Headquarters will be ob
tained and the club put on a solid basis.
Another meeting will be held Monday
night, and all the six-foot Republicans are
invited to attend.
WHEELED ON A WAGER.
Pajlnea Salll van-Corbet t Bet Councilman
licwbottom Transports Mr. TVedemeyer
Through the S-reeta of Allegheny The
Winner Gets 820 and an Exhilarating
Bide.
Followed by a jolly, boisterous crowd,
Councilman George Rowbottom, of the
Sixth ward, Allegheny, wheeled "General"
Wedemeyer through the streets of that ward
last night, adistance of three blocks being
traversed. The .event was on a wager
made on the Snllivan-Corbett fight Wede
meyer had bet Rowbottom $20 to $12 that
Sullivan would win the fight, with the
stipulation that the loser was to wheel the
other in a barrow for a distance ot three
squares on the public streets of Allegheny.
Wedemeyer had the worst of the whole
jected to the humiliating task of pushing
his taker in the wheelbarrow.
The feat was to be performed last night,
the start to be made from Wedemeyer's
barber shop at the corner of Washington
avenue and' Fulton street, at 7:30 o'clock.
At this time the wheelbarrow was brought
forth bedecked with American flags,
and the Councilman sat down on the front
of the bed. Only a short time was con
sumed in getting ready, but in a few min
utes a large crowd gathered and when the
start was made the faces of both men were
various shades of red, whit&and blue. But
they stuck it out, and a mob of hooting,
yeliing,!jeering people trailed in their wake
the whole route. From the corner of Wash
ington and Fulton street they went to Man
hattan, thence to Nixon, to Chartiers, to
Washington and to Adams street which
was the end of tbe route covered by the
wager. The scene was a ludicrous one.
Both men are well known in the Sixth
ward.
ALLEGHENY COUBTIY LEADS.
The Annual School K-port Shows Them to
Be In a Flatterlnc Condition.
Superintendent Hamirton has just made
public hiB annual report on the Allegheny
county schools for the past year. The re
port shows that the county, comprising 757
square miles of territory, contains 89 school
districts, divided into 53 townships, 35 bor
oughs and one independent district There
are 719 teachers and 34,634 pupils. The
teachers' salaries amounted to 28,850 12.
The average salary paid was $43 a month.
Six new boroughs were organized during
the year. '
The total valuation of all school property
in Allegheny county outside the three
cities is $1,539,800 66, including an expendi
ture of $222,281 50 in Bchool improvements
during the year. One feature ot the report
is, that though the 85 boroughs have $895,
830 66 worth of school property, they are
educating only 12,261 ohildren, while the 53
townships, owning $6,439,700 wdrth of prop
erty, educate 22,478 children. During the
year $647,389 89 has been expended for
educational purposes, an increase of $19,
419 96 over the previous year.
One thousand eight hundred and eighty
seven children of school age failed to
attend school last year. Tbe Superintend
ent journeyed, during the season, over
5,000 miles, visited 661 schools, attended 15
division institutes, addressed 55 educa
tional meetings, laid the corner stone of two
new houses and dedicated five school build
ings. This report makes a better showing
than that of Cook countv, III., which has
up to this time erfjoyed the distinction of
making the best showing of any county in
the country.

LADIES SPEAK PLAINLY,
They Object to Promiscuous Expectoration,'
and Say o.
The Ladles' Health Protective Associa
tion yesterday commenced To issue circu
lars to the publio,on the nuisance and dan
ger of spitting in publio places. ThV cir
culars bear at the head a skull and cross
bones and the seal of the Commonwealth.
They read:
Do not spit on the floor or sidewalk, not
only because the practice Is vulgar and dis
gusting, but because as soon as the expecto
ration dries it becomes a fine, light dust,
wbloh floats In the air we breathe and In
this wny conveys tbe germs of disease from

tho expectoration of consumption, which Is
Invariably found to contain the germs of

THE POINT'S BIG SHOW.
A Brilliant And lend E -Joje the Exposition
List Night The Mnsio nn Attractive
Featnra of the Exhibition Comfort and
Pleasure lor All.
The second night of Pittsburg's big show
attracted rather a brilliant crowd. The Ex
position building was not crowded, and
there seemed just enough room for those
present to enjoy their visit without being
elbowed or pushed about
The crowd was made up largely of women.
There were an abundance ot pretty girls,
and as they flitted about in their gay cos
tumes the vast ball appeared like a be
wildering sea of butterflies. The men, all
pleased with the delightful spectacle, stood
back interested spectators, while the women
enjoyed the exhibits of the merchants dis
played on every hand.
The building, as ou the first night, was
dazzling in its illuminations. The vari
colored lights threw rainbow flashes
through the place and the whole main
building looked a veritable fairy garden. The
great machinery hall has been completed
and every detail in the arrangements has
been perfected. The machinery hall Is by
no means the least attraotive part of the
show. Everybody seemed interested in
that particular department, and it was
fairly crowded all the night and during the
afternoon.
The music supplied during the evening
was most enjoyable, and not a few of those
present devoted themselves to tbe comfort
able seats immediately in front of Levy's
great musical combina'tion. At 10 o'clock,
when the big bell announced the closing
time and the band filled the hall with the
mellow strains of "Home, Sweet Home,"
the audience seemed reluctant to leave
the hall.
The musical programme arranged for
this afternoon and to-night presents many
rareselections, and promises to be as enter-
vaiuiug as ine programme oi last mgnc

ISAAC OMSLAIl MISSING.
A Troy Bill Man Bitten by a Dog Dlap4
pnrf He Was Afraid of Hydrophobia
His Family Loft in Greatly Bednced
Circumstances.
Isaac Omslar, an elderly Troy Hill citU
zen, left bis borne, at the corner of Hamil
ton and Gardner streets, Wednesday night,
telling his family1 goodby and saying that
he was going to drown bimtelf. He has
not since been heard from.
Wednesday night, as Omslar 'came boms
from work, a large Newfoundland dog be'
longing to a family who iav just moved
into a part of the house occupied by his
family jumped upon him and bit
bim severely in the right arm. From
loss of blood Omslar fell exhausted
to the ground, . and neighbors cams
and drove away the dog, which they
say was mad. Omslar was afraid of hydro
ph'obia and said that rather than die of it
he would drown. It is tbe opinion
of tbe missing man's friends that he threw
himself into the water basin, which is near
by, and will to-day make an investigation.
Omslar had had much trouble and his
family is in reduced circumstances. He
has been a resident of the hill for 25 years,
and nntil six months ago was employed by
the Standard Foundry Company. At
that time he fell from the
cupola of the building where he was
working and Injured his loot badly, having
it in aplastercast for nearly sir months.
He was able to go to work only a few
davs ago and was digging a cellar for a
neighbor. Omslar has five children, none
over 12 years of age, and the wife and chil
dren are almost without food and have no
money. The Department of Charities will
take action on the case to-day.
