AK1HDR IS INTERESTED KOW " IfTZClJS. TZl.XaJS.13t TO THE DISPATCH. 1 Philadelphia, Sept 10. The ei 'pected has happened In the progress of the negotiation between the committee of the Federated Order ot Beading Bailway Em ployes and President JIcLeod, and it is more than probable now that there will be some trouble on the road or its leased lines this month. The mission of the committee, declared by its own members and by the railroad officials to be of a peaceful and friendly nature, was possibly all of that at the start, but President JIcLeod's square stand against the existence ol labor organizations among the company's employes has put an entire ly new face on the matter, and the commit tee has temporarily abandoned all other matters which would have come before it at Its annual meeting, and is grappling with the labor issue alone. To-day and yesterday telegrams were 'sent East and AVest summoning the leaders of the railroad men's brotherhdbds to this city, and by this evening enough replies had been received by Chairman Clapp to indicate that a number of prominent labor leaders will arrive in town to-morrow to take a hand in the controversy. The peo ple sent ior include (Jhiet -M. Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi neers; P. P. Sargent, of the firemen; P. H. 3Iorrissey, ot the brakemen; S. A. "Wilkinson, of the trainmen; John Ramsey, of the telegraphers, and .Chief Clark, of the conductors. Three of the Chiefs on ths TVav. The only person who has thus far de clined to come is Chief Sargent, who is de tained in Cincinnati during the National Convention of Firemen, which opens there on Monday. Chiefs Arthur, Bamsey and Clark are already on their way. The leaders in the big committee are very reticent, but Chairman Clapp said frankly to-nieht that the situation was so serious as to make necessary the presence of all the brothrrhood officials who could get here. The actions of the committee have been very conservathe 60 far and this lias'been due largely to the fact that they stirred up yesterday, during their call on President JIcLeod, a much bigger contest than they anticipated. They went there to sk Mr." McLeod to amend "two of his rules xfiecting new employes on the road, and came away with the knowledge, emphatic ally civtn them, that an future the Beading would recognize no labor organization whatsoever on its lines, and that it pro posed to stamp them out altogether br pro hibiting all new employes from becoming members, in sense or sympathy, by an iron bound contract. After thi. President, the Stockholder. The committee decided, after its, visit to President McLeod, to issue a prompt call for assistance and advice, and the railroad labor leaders sent lorto-day will accompany the committee on a second visit to the Bead ing Bailroad on Mondav or possibly on Tues-'ay. They will make an earnest effort to induce President McLeod to change his attitude toward labor organizations, and, if 'they fail in this, there arc good grounds for predicting that they will issue an appeal to the stockholders. Tne committee is said to place mnch con fidence in this latter appeal. It is pretty well known that the Drexel and Vander bilt interests are backing the Beading, and it is also known that these interests are by no means opposed to organized labor. Such stockholders as Thomas Solan, George W. Childs, YT. VT. Gibbs and oth ers, who employ Hundreds of workmen themselves, will be appealed to, and the committee will go as far as possible in the effort to adjust the matter peaceably. If evervthine fails there is no doubt that ajr- grevhe tactics will be pursued, lor the leader of the Federated order, controlling 23, 000 employes, is ilatfooted in saying that they will not give up their existence with out the sternest kind of a fight. Thn Orsrautz..tlong to Stick Together. Chairman Clapp said to-day that if this conflict should be precipitated by President McLeod's stand the Federation would have the assistance of every labor organization in the land, for the very principle of the nhole labor svstem would be at stake, and everything would be lost or won in the result. ,-; It was called to the attention of Mr. Clapp that President McLeod had been quoted as savins that in case of a strike of locomotive engineers he could replace them by firemen, and 200 of the latter were per Jectly trained for the position. The Chair man answered: "That is certainly untrue, for the closest svmpathy exists between the engiLeer aud firemen, and one would not under any circumstances take the place of the other. It may be presumptuous for me to sav so, but in the conversation we bad with President McLeod the other day, I discovered tnat 1 Knew a great deal more about the engineers and firemen than he did. The two will always work togethfr. " Dicli.irsrt for Tieinc Union Men. To-day the committee talked only of the injustice which they say the Beading Com pany is trying to impose upon them in its eifurt to break up the labor organizations. Thev complain ot the compulsion which the company intends to exercise in forcing thpm to become members of the Beading Belief Association. One of the committee men said: This relief fund plves us a death benefit of $1,300, ana onl proviies 52 weeks of dis ability rc-mltlnc from accidents on the road. In the Brotherhood of Licomotlve En gineers we can et $4,500 insurance and no limit or time during which we can draw accident benents. In tlie relief association the withdrawal of a man from the com pany's service or his discharge therefrom deprives him absolutely from receiving any benefit from the fund. This is not only an Injustice, but probably illegal. John A. Bowman, who with William B. Schaeffer and William Craklow, were dis charged from the Bound Brook Division of tlie Philadelphia and Beading Bailroad on account ot their membership, it is alleged, in the Brothernood of Locomotive Engin eers, taid: I was one of the committee tliat visited General Manager SweUard Thursday at the Ktadtnjr office, mid he told me that there was no complaint against anyone o: us except that we were members of the liiothernuod, and that lie would cheerfully eive us letters ot recommendation at any time. lie said we ere three of tho best engineers in the em plovofthe company, and he offered to re instate U9 upon condition that we would leave the Brotherhood. THE TEOifBLE ON THE BEADIHG. Culef Arthnr Goes to 1'hllade'phta to At lend a Conference of Engineers. Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Engineer", passed through the city last evening bound for Philadelphia. He said he had been called there to attend a con- ference of engineers from the Lehigh Valley and Beading roads with President McLeod to-day. He claimed he didn't know what" was the subject in dispute, but it is suspected to be a readjustment or wages.. Since the Beading won the strike under Austin Corbin the engineers have not been organized. Most of them drifted to the Burlington road during the last trouble on that line and materially- helped to break the strike. The chfef is a shrewd man and also de clined to talk abont the effects of the switchmen's defeat at Buffalo. He pre ferred to dilate on the World's Fair and the work it would create for the railroads. He gave it at his opinion that everr line in the country would be taxed to its utmost capacity next summer, and that a number of firemen would be pressed into service as engineers. The Chief added that before leaving Cleveland in the afternoon a report was cir culated that the Homestead mill had been blown up with dvnamlte and a number of men killed." The people were hichly excited, and eagerly scanned the, bulletin boards for news. He was glad to hear that the rnmor was a canard and he wondered how it originated. WIND, HAIL AND LIGHTNING VlORK GREAT HATOC IN OF WESTERN TO A KOMIIER N. An Autumn Tornado In Indiana Ellis Two Men Uall Splits Thine Wide Open In Wisconsin A TVaterspoot In Allnne otr I.lchtninc Destroys SInch Prop-, rly. Mabion, Ind., Sept 10. A tornado passed over the lower part of this city last night, causing great damage and complete ly wrecking the buildings of the Indiana Pulp "Works, instantly killing two men and dangerously injuring two others. The killed are Howard Green and Samuel Pond. There were six men in the mill at the time of the tornsdo, the regular night shift hav ing been laid off last week. Had the rezu, lar number been working, the loss -of life would have been awful. At Waterville, Minn., the worst storm known there for 20 years raged last niirht, commencing at abont 6 o'clock and lasting until 2 a. M. Over 5 inches of water fell. Grain stacks of a farmer a few miles out of town were stneck and partly destroyed. The dwelling ol J. Tubbs was torn to pieces. Two of the family were badly scorched and all knocked senseless. On the other side of town a barn was struck and burned, while fires could be seen at a dis tance in the country from burning stacks and dwellings. Similar reports came from all over Southern Minnesota. A terrific wind and hail storm traversed the country near Madison, Wis., to-day and worked incalculable, damage to tobacco. Hail fell in chunks 14 inches in diameter. The belt was happily not wide, and one half of the tobacco crop was in sheds, thus being saved, but the loss aggregates several hundred thousand dollars. Corn is badly damaged. Turkevs and chickens were killed, and sparrows cover the ground in places. In some groves the leaves have been cnt from the trees by the hail, and make a carpet three inches thick. Apples on trees are cut to pieces, and watermelons were broken open by the hail. In Madison the extensive brick walls ior the reservoir were blown down. TOOK SU1IMABY VENGEANCE, James Riley Breaks Car Windows Became Tie Vt us Put Off. Conductor No. 95, California Avenue Electric line, Allegheny, ejected a man from his car at Federal street and North avenue at 9:30 o'clock list night, and ior this the fellow picked up a piece of wood from the street and threw it through the car windows. Passengers hada narrow escape from the flying glass of two window panes and an incandescent burner which were broken by the missile. Lientenant Thornton was near and saw the act. He chared the man three blocks on North avenueTjefore catching him. The man was taken to the station, where he gave his name as James Biley, and his residence as Linden street He is married and is a waiter in a restaurant on Liberty street. Biley was slated for disorderly conduct OEKMAN J0UKHALIBTS MEET. A Welt-Attended Entertainment at Which Allegheny Mayor 5pak. Testerday afternoon and evening the Open German Press Club held its summer festival and concert at- the house of the Cecilia Maennerchor, No. 15 North Canal street Th,e entertainment was well attend ed and an excellent programme ot addresses and music was rendered. Mayor Kennedy, of Allegheny, delivered an address of welcome, which was gracefully responded to by Mr. Franz Neiberlein, of the Beoborhter. The announcement was made that the club expected to secure permanent quarters in Pittsburg within a short time. The Committee on Arrangements were Messrs. William Kohler, Fred. Sommer, Charles Naatz, Matthew Pauli and Anton Haeling. A BOSS' LITTLE GAME. Arrmted on Two C&arces of Larceny and 30 Olher suits May Be Instituted. Jacob Zimmer is in a fair way to have a right merry time soon. Zimmer was held I 101 $1,500 bail by Alderman Gripp yesterday or larceny. The charges are set forth by W. Brown and Alex Miller, who aver Zim mer is inclined to be extravagantly roguish. The informations read that Zimmer, as boss carpenter for Clark, Bichard & Co., employed 40 carpenters and charged the firm ?2 50 a day for each man and only paid them $2 per day. The informants say they but just started the ball and that it will be kept up by 30 of their fellow employes following their suit Hence Zimmer' chance of a merry time. No MoBfy for Whisky. At 11 o'clock last night there was only one prisoner in the four Bast Bnd station houses, and that one was Mary Wagoner,, who was arrested on Penn avenue by Mag istrate Hyndman in a drunken condition near his office. He called the patrol wagon and had her locked up in the Nineteenth ward station. The Eleventh ward, Four teenth ward ana the Huelwood stations were empty. The police of the different station house districts think the quietness is caused by the scarcity of money in the mill districts. 31. de Glers Dan?prnntly 111. Paris, Sept 10. M. de Giers, the Bus sian Minister of Foreign Aflairs, who has been spending a short holiday at Alx le Bains, is quite ill at that place.

All the indica tions point'to a vigorous campaign in Kings county by the Bepublicans. The campaign committee has been quietly engaged for the past month in raising subscriptions, and it is said a substantial amount has beeu already raised. Chairman Franois Hs Wilson to-day issued a call to the friends of the G. O. P. 'for subscriptions of "5, $10 or more," urging speedy aotion in the matter, as the committee "needs money and needs it now." The intention is to have a fund of at least (80,000 to aid in re ducing the usual overwhelming Democratic; majority. The reception arranged for Whitelaw Beid at the Union League Olub. next Sat urday night, will be made the occasion for the first big demonstration in tho campaign by tlie Bepublicans. Mr. Beid will dine tit the Montauk Club before his visit to the the Union League Club, and his reception there will be interrupted while he isreview ing a score or more of the Bepulican uni formed battalions. Dr. Drpew to Stamp the State. Dr. Chauncey M. Depew made a straight line for Hon. Tom Carter's National Be publican Bazaar to-day. It was lunch time and Dr. Depew joined Mr. Carter and Treasmrer Bliss at the board. .It came out at lunch that Dr. Depew will stump the State and that Chairman Carter won $1,500 on Corbett. Mr. Carter is a Western .man and his Eastern friends on the committee were all for Sullivan. They badgered him into betting and gave him long odds. The Democratic campaign will soon be booming in Brooklyn. Hngh McLaughlin will heartily co-operate with Messrs. Mur phy, Sheehan and Croker in placing New York State in line for the ticket No defi nite arrangements have been made for Sen ator Hill's appearance, no reply having yet been received from the Senator to Mr. McLaughlin's invitation to make an address in Brooklyn. The utmost confidence, however, is expressed at Demo cratic headquarters that the Senator will start the campaign in earnest with one of his ringing speeches. There is no doubt that Senator Hill u ill keep whatever assignments may be made for him by Mr. Murphy and the State Committee. He is sure to be heard from. Millions to Bs Spent In New York. The managers of Chairman Harrity's Democratic bureau had but one hope upper most tc-day. The gathering of Mr. Cleve land's friends in Hon. D. M. Dick inson's parlors at the Hoffman House the night before, for the purpose of raising "ways and means" by which Carter and the Bepublicans can be circumvented, was one of the most important events in the campaign up to date. It is uniformly ad mitted that New York State is to be the real battle ground. The Democratic managers admit it and the Bepnblicans agree with them. It is the only point on which they do not disagree. Mr. Carter is prepared to distribute $1,000,000 in the State, and if hard pnshed he will have at his disposal $2,000,000. Mr. Dickinson presided at the gather ing of Mr. Cleveland's friends last evening, and plans for raising funds were discussed by Mr. Whitney and ex-Secretary Fair child. No contributions were made at the time. To-day at Nation al headquarters it was decided to make a personal appeals to the jewelers, the stock, produce, and cotton brokers,rail road men, steamboatmen, street car men, those engaged in river boat traffic, the dry goods men, and all who have the interest of the national ticket at heart The work will be begun immediately. Not less than $300,000 is required. .. Tnmmany Snre'y In the Fight. Commander Gilroy was at headquarters in thefnorninsr, and -said: "I have talked with all the Tammany leaders within the last day or so and I may say Tammany Hall never entered into a campaign more en thusiastically than she is entering this one." The appearance of Bourke Cookran, Mr. Gilroy and Thomas F. Grady at Democratic headquarters this morning is accepted by those in charge there as a gratifying assur ance that Tammany Hall is now in full ac cord with the party and will lend its aid ton ard the election of Mr. Cleveland. These gentlemen called on the leaders and held a short consultation. Mr. Cock ran will now enter actively into the cam paign. He has arranged to speak at Detroit September 29. Indiapapolis September 30, Woodsdale Park, Cincinnati, October 1; jn various parts of Indiana October 3, 4, 5 and 6, and Chicago October 7. -LITTLE CHANCE TOB A CHANGE. The Present Form of Ballot More Than Mc'ly to Be Maintained. Ppiladelphia, Sept 10. 5nria?. Chairman Beeder left the city at noon for Easton, and will not be back before Mon day at noon. Democratic Chairman Wright is anxious for a change in the form ot the ballot, but wants an alteration radically different from the one " sought by general Beeder. The parallel columns on the ballot are separated to the left by a half inch space m the squares of which the cross is marked indicating the choice of the roter. "It is the easiest kind of thing for a Democratic voter to mark at the left of a name his preferences . instead of at the right, where the name ends," said Mr. Wright," and we. have everything to lose and the Bepublicans everything to gain by the arrangement Of course there is a remedy, and I propose to have it by an alteration that begins the Democratic colnmn at least an inch lower down on the scale than the Bepublican. The partv com ing first on the ballot has a decided advant age, and inasmuch as our side is the minor ity one, we shall lose materially unless some such means as I propose shall be adopted to protect our voters." It is generally accepted that the form of ballot as "now printed in the specimen sheets will stand. Neither Attorney General Hensel nor General Beeder would speak on the matter to-day, declining to express an opinion. YOUNG WAKWICK HAS A SHOW.

Massiixon, O., Sept 10. 8p(cial-A. primary election was held this afternoon to elect delegates to the Democratic Con gressional convention at Orrville Septem ber 15, to nominate a successor to the late John G. Warwick in the old Sixteenth dis trict. The friends of W. K L. Warwick labored hard to elect delegates friendly to him, and, as a result, claim that if his. name is pre sented to the convention he will receive not only the support of the twelve delegates irom this city and township, but also twelve others from the west end of Stark county.

CAPTAIN KEEN AN CHOSEN To Son Against IV B. Helner, In the Twenty-First District KlTTA3raiNOr Sept 10 Special The Democratic Congressional conference re convened hero to-day. Captain Freeman Gar was again elected Chairman. Five ballots were taken, each resulting as be fore, McCullough, 3; Keenan, 3, and Sloan & At the end of the sixth ballot Mr. Mc Cullough wis tendered the nomination, but inasmuch as the Bepublicans had chosen Mr. Heiner, he thought that for the success of the ticket it would be better not to have both candidates from the same county, and so refused the nomination. The sixth ballot was then taken, which re sulted in the nomination ot Captain John B. Keenan, of Westmoreland. The nomi nation was then made unanimous. Captain Keenan called upon. Mr. Heiner, the Be pnblican candidate, last evening and con gratulated him upon his victory at Salts-, burg. This afternoon Mr. Heiner returned the compliment, and the gentlemen ex changed friendly opinions on matters non political. A special from Greensburg, says: Cap Keenan arrived home late to-night, and was tendered an enthusiastic reception by the citizens of Greensbnrg. He was met at the depot by a brass band and about 2,000 people " who marched through the principal streets of the city. He talked to hundreds of people on the public square. Mr. Keenan is a graduate of Yale, and a lawyer of fairly large prac tice. He is the son of the'late General James Keenan, who was appointed Consnl to China by President James Buchanan, 33 years ago, and while at Hong Kong James B. Keenan was born. He was brought to Greensburg two years after, and has lived here ever since. CLEVELAND BACK AT THE BAY. Bis Betarn Not Expected and Be Was Not Met at thn Depot Buzzakd's Bat, Mass., Sept 10. Special. The arrival of Hon. Grover Cleveland on the 10:21 train this morning was hardly expected. He was greeted at the station by Actor Joseph Jef ferson, and after a ' short chat with the latter, the Gables car riaee not appearing, Mr. Cleveland walked down the track and across the fields home. A few minutes later Mrs. Cleve land drove up to the station, and learning that her husband had walked "across lots" home, speeded away down the road home ward. It is understood here that the bay is to see less and less of Mr. Cleveland during the next three weeks, probably until his final removal to his Madison avenue home, about the first week in October, as he is expected to make frequent trips now to New York until he closes Gray Gables, and, with Mrs. Cleveland, returns to the city for the winter. Mr. Cleveland said to-day: "I regard it as absolutely certain that the material is at hand in the State of New York to secure its electoral vote for the De mocracy. Of course, this cannot be done without faithful work and harmonious, or ganized efforts, but the Democrats of the State are accustomed to hand fighting.and it would be strange if in this crisis of our struggle for party principles there should be any faltering or lukeirarmness. There is certainly no indication of anything in our partv councils or management except loval effort and hearty zeal. These things afford abundant grounds for my confidence and satisfaction.''

The Capital Free of Cholera, and the Worst Over in Hamburg. A 'SHALL INCREASE AT' HA"VEE. Prince Bismarck's Honsehold TIrtually In a State of Siege. A LIBERAL GITEE TO TOE TICTIMS Berlin, Sept 10. ;The Berlin authori ties consider that the foreign papers exag gerate the condition of affairs in Hamburg. Cholera is bad enough in the poorer and older quarters of the oity, but the middle and upper class residents would not have known of the existence of the epidemic ex cept for the information gleaned through the newspapers. If the view that Hamburg is pest-polluted throughout its bounds could have been justified, the Imperial Board of Health would have assented to the suggestion of the alarmists to isolate the city and its suburbs and interdict all communication with them. The Ministers, however, took special advice of Pref. Jfirchow, Prof. Koch and other authorities, and arrived at the conclusion that a ricrorous system of sur veillance would be sufficient protection. If any reliance whatever is to be placed upon the Hamburg official cholera statistics the disease continues to abate there. Yes terday 182 new cases were reported, a de crease ot 211 as compared with the returns for Thursday. The deaths yesterday are placed at 122 against 215 for Thursday. Official Figures Still Unreliable. . The daily reports, however, continue to be badly mixed up, as is shown by a supple mentary report issued to-day, giving 128 new cases and 41 deaths that occurred prior to yesterday and were not incorporated in the prior returns. A large number of fugitive families from Hamburg have now sought shelter at Stral sund, Bostock and other places in Mecklin-burg-Schwerin, and the disease is almost unknown among them. Many of these families have jnst reason to complain of the arbitrary and illegal measures taken by the petty local authorities iu trying to debar them from admission to hotels and lodging houses. Count von Eulenburg, Prussian Minister of the Interior, to whom the municipal authorities appealed lor permission to cre mate the bodies of cholera victims, has given his assent to the cremation of bodies when an autopsy absolutely proves that the death resulted from cholera. Not a single case requiring cremation has occurred here since the Minister's assent was given. As a matter of fact, Berlin is remarkably healthy. No Panic Now In th- Capital. Among the public here the scare has utterly vanished. Even the hotels have now oeased to reject guests from Hamburg. A panicky feeling, however, continues to prevail in the rural districts. An instance ot this feeling is given at Alt Buppin, a town of Prussia, where a volunteer corps has been organized to guard the approaches to the town and keep strangers out until thev have been subjected to a week's Quar antine. The town of Pine is similarly cor doned. Business reports from Hamburg grow worse. It is estimated that the financial and commercial losses there already reach a total of 200,000,000 marks. The disclos ures of the horrible unsanitary state of the city and its suburbs have raised the ques tion as to whether the Hamburg Senate ought not to be deprived of its administra tion of affairs and the Prussian Govern ment assume control. Prince Bismarck's people at Friederschs ruhe, who drew their household supplies from Hamburg, have been in a condition borderinr on a state of siege since the out break ot the disease in Hamburg. All con nection with the city has been cut off, and supplies ate now taken to them from Berlin. Visitors are not now welcomed at Friede richsruhe. niamnrok a Llb-ral Contribntor. Prince Bismarck shows a great sympathy with the people of Hamburg. He daily re ceives telegrams from friends in the citv, giving details as to the progress of the epidemic Besides subscribing to the pub lic relief funds, he has sent privately money with which to purchase medicines. The officers here ot the Hamburg-American Packet Company are constantly be sieged by anxious friends of passengers on the Bugia and Normannia, clamoring fdr news. Many Americans who started tor Ergland to take the Hamburg-American line steamers from Southampton are unable to secure their baggage, as the Belgian authorities refuse to allow baggage from Berlin to pass through Belgium. A great pile of baggage has, consequently, been re turned here. Many American ladies who sent their trunks in aavance to Hamburg have decided to leave them there until the epidemic is over. They hope thus to escape having their baggage fumigated and their costly dresses possibly mined. , American attention ought to be given to the numerous bales of rags now lying at Hamburg ready tor shipment If they are imported into the United States after the quarantine is over the danger ot cholera infection, which would seemingly have ceased, would be renewed. AGAIN WORSE IN RUSSIA. The Czar and Czirlna Visit Hospitals and Comfort the Patients. St. Petersburg, Sept 10. Again the hopes that the cholera had spent its strength have been dashed to the ground and the people are asking when the end will be. The official returns for Tuesday showed a decrease of 843 new cases throughout Bussia aud 1,109 deaths, and this led to the belief that the disease was decreasing in virulence. This morning, when Wednesday's returns for the whole empire were issued, it was seen that a comparison with Tuesday's returns showed an increase of 918 new cases aud 927 deaths.

Wants to Amalgamate Gold and Oliver Into Fare Gold Has Addresses of ths Clty'i Treading Commercial Men Claims HIeh-Toned Connections. Budolph Yon Brant, a confidence oper ator, claiming a residence ou West Eleventh street, New York, was arrested at the Hotel Schlosser yesterday afternoon by Detectives Bobinson and Coulson. Yon Brant came to this city last Tuesday, regis tering at the Schlosser. Next day he called on G. E. Schwartz, of the Pennsylvania Lead Company, saying he had been referred by Superintendent Follansbee, of the Cham ber of Commerce. In the course of conver sation he unfolded a scheme of robbing the Government by amalgamating gold and sil ver coins by the addition of certain chemi cals, unknown to anyone save himself, by which the melted mass would be trans formed into pure gold and worth its weight in gold. Mr. Schwartz divined that Brant's scheme was simply one to rob anyone willing to confide in him, but to make sure, offered him the use of the company's laboratory and all the gold and silver bullion bars he could use in the process. Yon Brant promntlv fell into the tran. savin? his nlan w,ould only work with coin. After being melted he proposed to send the mass to the mint to be' molded into new gold pieces. He produced a jew elers' crucible, scales and other instruments to show that he meant business and de clared he could demonstrate his ability to do all he claimed and to make Mr. Schwatz and himself rich in a short time. He even exhibited some lumps of gold which he said had been produced by his process. Mr. Schwartz declined to enter the scheme. When his vistor had left he notified Super intendent O'Mara. A similar scheme had been worked in Baltimore a few years ago, capitalists there having been done up for 5,000. Knowing this, a description of Von Brant was furnished the detec tives by the Superintendent, but he was 'not located until yesterday. Von Brant had on his person the ad dresses of a large number of the leading commercial men of this and other, cities. At first he declined to talk, but later told a story of his connection with prominent peo- Ele in this country and Germany and ot his aving been at one time, a cotton speculator and a diamond merchant There is no doubt but that he is a smart, well-educated man,-hut his acquaintance with known con fidence men of the country has assured the police he is big game. The New York and Baltimore authorities have been telegraphed tor particulars concerning him. THBEA1ENIKG HOES OF STBIKEE&. Two Sheriffs on Opposite Sides or a Bliohl gnn Bivrr on the Alert.

They were racing good humoredly to get "the gas until yesterday, and nowj have six wells going down in a circle withinv a radius of 100 feet The Philadelphia people have one well j about down, and tried to make connection' with their big main to take gas from tho! new well. To do this they trespass on thai Wright farm, and were notified by Wright'ij attorney to file bond before proceeding with: the work. This they failed to do, and laid tW line Thursday night When J. M.

Last night John Sampsel, the Philadel-; phia Company's representative, turned gas into the line and lighted it at holes mads; byNevin. The tremendous pressure and' intense beat interfered with the building of a derrick by the Carnegie Company, and to-j day they took a hand by taking the pipe)' out altogether. To-night constables are on duty to see that the Philadelphia Company, don't relay their pipe. If ths Philadelphia people strike gas, as) they expect, to reach their main they will, have to cross the Carnegies territory by going under their derricks.
