Democratic and Prohibition, respectively I noticed with me suroriae that the nomi nees of the other parties which had fited nomination paper were omitted from the ticket. Inasmuch as the names of these nomi nees were at the Secretary's hand at the time that the ballot was prepared, it appeared to roe that that was the proper time tor him to determine the question as to how the names of all the candidates placed in nomination by nomination papers were to be arranced on the ticket. Iknow that tiiat question was considered by the Attorney General, and that he recognised the importance of deciding whether the names should all appear in one column, or whether each ticket should be giiena column bv itself. It it was not then decided officially bv the Attorney General, it seems perfectly clear that it could have been definitely fixed at that time, so that the County" Commissioners, who had charge of the duty of providing ballots, could have taken the necessary steps to perform their duty. The State O facials All Informed. "I am more than ever convinced that thst action by the officials in the Executive De partment was one of the steps in the con spiracy intended to defraud the majority party "in this State of the opportunity of votiugithis year. Theinterview between Mr. Gricr and Mr. Ponieroy shows tnat the State officials had been in "communication with Chairman "Wright, of the Democraticparty. not merely informing him of. the action of the department, but confidentially advising him as to the best method of taking advan tage of this early information. "Xo information has reached me in any form," continued Mr. Keeder, "from the Secretary of the Commonwealth, or any of his subordinates, relative to the form of he ballot The knowledge which I have gained on that point I have obtained through other agencies which I set at work ten days ago, because of my suspicions that I was not to be treated with the same friendliness as Mr. "Wright. I want to say further that I thoroughly believe that the ballot has been stretched out to the extreme length of 52 inches intentionally, and lor the purpose of making the ballot of such size as will prevent its being printed in sufficient quan tities lor use throughout the entire State. A Shorter Ballot Could Bo Printed. "I have taken the pains to consult with some of the leading printer in the State, and am informed that, although the 52-inch ballot cannot possibly be printed in time, there is no reason why a ballot ot 44, 45 or 46 inches in length should not be presented in at leat 100 offices in the Commonwealth. I am also informed by practical printers that, by a very simple plan of removing leads and diminishing spaces, the ballot can be brought down to a size which can be printed without difficulty in quantities suf ficiently larse to furnish every voter in the State with the means of registering his vote. "I have this day telegraphed to Mr. Harrity, and also to Governor Pattison, suggesting this simple and ready solution of this grave and critical problem, and al though more than 12 hours have elapsed since the telegrams were sent, I have up to this time received no reply whatever to either telegram. If the administration does not desire to nullify the Republican sentiment in Pennsylvania they will, I am satisfied, take steps to condense the matter on the ballot and reduce its length. Bcpnblicans All Warned in Time. "Whatever maybe Uie action of the State officials the conspiracy wiH prove a failure. 'Hie situation was anticipated land the Re publican counties of tnis State will be pro vided with all the needed ballots for a full Republican vote and a strict compliance with the law. It only remains to be seen whether Mr. Harrity "will, by condensing the ballot into smaller size and the early certification of nominations to County Com missioners, do what he now can to convince the people of this State that he was not a willing party to this high-handed con spiracy." The following is a copy of the telegram referred, to in General Beeder's interview: rmLADELrniA, October 7, 1892. lion. KobertE. l'attlson. Governor, Iiarrlsburg, l'a.: Con meed that there is cravo danger that many localities will liavo difficulty in pro viding ballots for voters, and that there is a simple lemedy for the difficulty, I have tele graphed the Secretary or the Common wealth as follows: "Caretul investigation catSfics me that it is practically imposlble to h.ne ballots printed bv Noeinber8 nn less them is a reduction in tho sfze,pJhe ptp"i. Thero aro not mora than five opsix in ein the Sta e which can print a ballot 52 inches in length. Thero arc at least 100 Mich that can punt it if reduced to45 inches. I submit that the ticket can be brousht within that length by l educing tho toD margin, talonc out leads and omitting the unneces sary repetition of tho words appearing at the'head or each group and separate offices in tho third and fourth columns. A strenuous effort should be made to keep the length of 'tho ticket within 40 inches since to exceed that length may result in disfranchising hun dreds or thousands of voters. I telegraph j ou this at this time, to that there mav be no further confusion in the public mind by the issuing or mstiuctions to County Com-mi-sionei s, or the sending out of n balli t or unnecessary length. "Wilt - ou please let me know at the earliest possible moment, either by wire or mail, what you have decided upon s to form, arrangement and size of the ticket. Frame Heeder, Chairman Republican State Committee. A I-oer of Such Sensations. Mr. Pomeroy has been comfortably known in the Franklin end of the Cumberland valley, as a young man who loves to figure in sensations, and he appears to have struck it rich this time. He is likely to keep on strikiug flints until the arrival on the scene ot "W. Hayes Grier's affidavit, when the other side will be made known. Those who know Colonel Grier fay that he is not likely to make mistakes in his knowledge of people or friend", and, least of all, in the case of Mr. Poneroy, whom he has known person ally for years. The conspiracy to steal the vote of the State for Cleveland is unearthed just in time to waken up the campaign, and General F.eeder will make the most of the discovery. Mr. Pomeroy came through by all speed to-night and his affidavit was the work of but a few moments. He may go on the (tump. Quay Amnsed at tho Situation. Senator Quay said late to-night: "I do not believe Mr. Harrity would do such a thing as to attempt to steal this State." The situation did not strike Mr. Quay as at all serious. He appeared rather amused. "It is a poorly constructed law," added the Senator, "and may go to pieces some day. but we have it, and must meet its terms. Mr. Pomeroy'i information will be interesting, however, in several ways," said the Senator, in conclusion. He did not say what the ways were like. Mr. Quay ic feeling much better and im proving rapidly. Beyond an hour's talk with Collector Cooper, the Senator did not go out to-day, and one of his visitors this evening was Federal District Attorney "Walter Lyon, of Pittsburg.

DYNAMITE USED AGAItf. The Entire Front of a Homestead Boarding House Blown Out ALLTHIHON-raiON MEN ESCAPED Extra Guards" on Duty Looking Out for the Miscreant. CH1IEM1K FEICK YISITS THE -WORKS Michael Cnsh, an important member of the famoni Homestead Advisory Board, was arrested in Altoona yesterday after noon. Deputy Sheriff Mills made the arrest. Cush is charged with treason. It is generally understood that he is an officer of the Advisory Board and one of its most important members under the treason charge. Oush was brought to the jail in this city last night without his friends knowing anything about his arrest. The officers have been looking for him ever since the warrants were issued. It was learned early yesterday morning that he was stopping with relatives in Altoona, and Officer Mills was sent for him immediately. Cush made no resistance, though he ap peared surprised at his arrest. The explosion of a dynamite bomb rang out in vain yesterday to horrify the Car negie sympathizers in Homestead. An at tempt was made early in the morning to blow up the Mansion Honse, in which about 40 of the non-union men reside. The entire front part of the building was com pletely wrecked. The house is located at the corner of Amity street and Fifth ave nue, and is presided over by Mrs. Mar-. ron. Caused a Bad Scare. When the explosion occurred the board ers were all in bed. Everything was turned topsy-tnrvy, windows were broken, beds overturned, and crockery ware strewn in all directions. Nobody was hurt. The men were huddled in their rooms to gether for a minute, and then they rushed panic-stricken to the street One man broke his leg stumbling over everything that came in his way. The street was entirely deserted at the time, but in a few minutes the people living in the squares around were on the scene. The dynamite cartridge is supposed to have been thrown through a broken window in the front of the house. Mrs. Marron says after she retired on Thursday evening a man wearing a great coat and with a slouched hat called and asked for lodging. She told him she was crowded and he leit cursing. Shortly after ward the explosion occurred. The deputy sheriffs are working hard on the case. Sheriff McCIeary was notified and came up on the 9:30 train. He was met by a number of citizens who insisted that the explosion was either due to gas, or to a ruse on the part of the non-union men to excite sympathy for themselves: A Deliberate Attempt to Murder. After several hours' investigation the Sheriff was satisfied that the ex plosion resulted through a deliber ate attempt to blow up the Mansion House; that the explosive had been thrown through a pane of glass on the first floor, and the only reason the house was not destroyed was the downward action of the dynamite. He ordered deputies to be placed on duty at every non-union boarding house and that a night patrol be established. Chiefs Young and Bitchie last night placed extra deputies on guard and divided the others up into watches. The deputies have a clue, received from Superintendent Morrison, of the Duquesne Steel "Works, of an agitator who recently purchased 100 pounds of dynamite. Accord ing to the report, this Homesteader was active in the Duquesne riots. Detectives Walls and Bozelle yesterday searched Mrs. Reilly's house, on the corner of Fourth avenue and Amity street, but did not find any Pinkerton rifles. They found three Pinkerton blankets, however, in a house in Munhall Hollow. The Advisory Committee last night took strong measures to show that the locked ont men were not guilty of the outrage of yes terday morning, and offered $100 reward for the arrest of the dynamite thrower. In a statement issued by that body they dis claimed all connection with the outrage. The committee announced that since the morning of the battle Homestead had been the model of good order, and they hoped that it would so continue. They did not believe that any of the strikers are respon sible for the explosion, but considered that it was the work oi some person whose sole intent was to keep the troops in Home stead. Assaulted by a Striker. One of Caspy's drivers was assaulted yes terday by a striker at Mike O'llourke's saloon. Deputies Bowman and Ferguson went to arrest the striker, but while arguing with Mr. Caspy the assailant got away. Chairman H. C Friek visited the mill in the morning, and spent several hours in in specting the plant. United States Court Judge Joseph Buffington left the Union Station last even ing on limited No. 4, bound for Washing ton, D.C. He was on his way to have a conference with some of the Supreme Court Judges; which of them he would not say. When asked what he thought about the treason cases, he replied with a bland smile, that he coujd not surmise what the outcome would be. He thought himself that there were rood grounds for the arrest of the Advisory Com-' mittee on sucn a cnarge, dui it snouia be proven before he would care to give any opinion on the matter. It the charges of conspiracy were proven, the Judge thought, there was little doubt but that the men would be, convicted of the other charge. " ..

Samuel Wbitehonse, Jr., yesterday morn ing received his sentence for illegal liquor aelling. He had pleaded guilty Thursday, and yesterday was brought up for sentence. When asked by Judge McClung what he had to say, Whitehouse replied that for the past two or three years he had been suffer ing from blood poisoning and was unable to work and had to sell liquor for a living. He asserted, however, that he had kept a "respectable speak-easy" and no disorder, etc, had occurred in his place. Judge McClung asked Whitehouse how long it was since he had quit selling. He answered that he had not sold any since his arrest. Last Sunday, he said, there were about 300 people about his place but his wife would not let them in. Jndge McClung next asked Inspector Mc Laughlin, the prosecutor in the case, how long Whitehouse had been running his place. "About three years," was the re ply. The Court wanted to know why the officials had not acted in the matter sooner. In answer to this Inspector McLaughlin said he had no very good explanation to make. Judge McClung remarked that the constable of the ward had been derelict in his duty. When the discourse was finished White house was fined $1,100 and sent one year to the workhouse on the four charges against him. Whitehouse is a brother of Police Captain Whitehouse who until recently was Inspector of that district. His place was at 722 Fifth avenue, Fourteenth ward. BIG DEMOCRATIC MEETING.

BIGEL0W EAYOBS EOBERrS PLAN. Tie City Should Bar 'sil Mil9 I,land and ts It for a Filter. TO KEEP GABBAGE OUT OP THE BITER Water Superintendent Wilcox yesterday submitted to Chief Bigelow a report show ing the results of an analysis of city drink ing water made by Hunt & Clapp, chem ists, from a sample taken from the influent chamber at Highland reservoir where the water flows into the basins, on September 30. The analysis is highly satisfactory to Mr. Wilcox, who gives it in detail as fol lows: Farts per Grains per 100.000. gallon. Tree ammonia 00uS .0003 Albnraenold ammont....

The reaction of the water is very slightly alkaline. There was a little greenish suspended matter in the samples which probably accounts for the percentage of albumenoid ammonia, the greenish matter being vegetable 'algae.' A Fresh Water riant. "When examined under the microscope this greenish matter is shown to be a vege table growth, a kind 'of fresh water sea weed, and is found in all river and surface water in the summer and fall seasons, in rivers the quantity being muoh less than in surface or stored rain water reservoirs. "Our water supply is certainly of a good quality, equalling it not excelling that used in New York, Philadelphia, Boston and other large cities, and will remain so for many years if precautions are taken to pre vent the river from being contaminated by sewage within a 25-mile limit above the city. The tnuddr water 'nuisance during freshets can be abated by having reservoir storage capacity large enough to permit of stoppage of the pumps while the river is muddy, the use of settling basins or filters at the river intake, to separate the sus pended matter in the water. None of these expedients would, however, have any effect on the chemical purity of the water." Mustn't Use tho River for a Dump. "It's just about what I expected," said Chief Bigelow after reading the report, "and it more than ever convinces me that Fittsbnrg, with a little care, will not need to change her source of water supply for 30 years to come. The conditions under which this test has been made are calculated to demonstrate conclusively the condition ot the water when purity is of the most im portance. The river has been lower tor the past month than for many years, and of 'course the less water in the channel the less chance there is for impure matter becoming diluted. As this test shows there is little organic matter in the water, and if snch is the case now there will be proportionately less when there is more water. Mayor Kennedy claims there is legislation in force by which the towns and villages up the river auove us can be prevented from throwing into the river any garbage or other matter likely to injure the water. If he is right the law should be enforced strict ly, and it he is not right such a law should be passed by the next Legislature. I intend to hnd out about it, and will have a proper bill presented if it is required. Slx-31ile Island, for a Filter. "I don't say another water system will never be required. The natural sewer drainage of the towns above us will in time render our water supply unfit for use. I am taking acareful interest in all the mountain water plans under discussion, and 1 believe their public investigation an excellent thing. I am collecting all the data possible on the question, and whenever I find it to the city's interest will place my knowledge and my opinion before Councils. For the present I am in favor of the city buying Six-Mile Island and constructing" a filter out of it according to the suggestion made in The DISPATCH by Colonel Eoberts. This,lwith the settling basins I have been authorized to build, will give Pittsburg clear water all the time and purer water tbau 00 per cent of the large cities in the country for almost halt a century."

DEATH IN A TUfflEL. Engineer and Fireman Smoked Into Eternity at Sandy Creek. SAVING TIME ON THE LAST TRIP. Ennninj TLrousb. a Tunnel 4,400 Feet Lonjr Their Train Stuck. THE IDE! BLAMES IT OS THE ENGINEER An inquest was held at Sandy Creek last night on the bodiei of two men who met their deaths under most peculiar circum stances. J. George Scbafer, engineer, and Bichard B. Johnson, fireman of a dinkey engine owned by the New York and Cleve land Gas Coal Company, met their deaths In a tunnel from suffocation. Both men have been employed by the company for more than ten years. Schafer has been running the engine for nearly 11 years, and was a sober, industrious man. The tunnel is eight feet high and 4,400 feet long, leading from the tipple at the Allegheny Valley Bailroad through a hill to the company's mines in a hill beyond.. Between the two hills there is a narrow ravine,in which there are switch tracks and sidings for the coal wagons loaded by the miners. As the wagons or cars are loaded the engine hauls them down to the tipple on a narrow-gauge track. Returning From Their Work. On Thursday evening the regnlar train of wagons was being taken from the mines. There were 35 loaded wagons, the last three being filled with miners on their way home from their day's work. There was a slight grade in tbe tunnel, and soon after getting into it the miners on the rear end obs&rved the train was moving1 very slowly. Finally it stopped entirely. The miners waited, wondering what was the trouble, until great clouds of smoke began to roll back and compelled them to get off and break for the air in the direction from whence they came. The miners then trudged up "over the hill to White Ash, where they lived, not daring to risk going back into the tunnel, but not dreaming that the engineer and fireman were in danger. A fev of the men passing down on the other side of the hill observed that the train had not come out. They waited awhile and then deciding something was wrong started in. One thousand four hundred feet from the north entrance to the tunnel they came to the engine. Bugineer Schafer was found lying across the bumper, dead. Back on the engine they found Fireman Johnson lying 'across the cab floor, in front of the firebox, also dead. From the positions of the men it is supposed that Johnson was tht first to fall over from suffocation. Schafer then started for tho air, but only got the length ot the engine when lie, too, keeled over and expired. Carried the Bodlos Home. The miners got aboard the engine, and cutting it loose from the train, attempted to run it out with the dead bodies aboard, but there was not steam enough to run five feet. The bodies were finally carried out by the miners and taken to their homes. According to the evidence taken at the Coroner's inquest last night it had been a custom of Engineer Schaler to allow his steam, fire and water to run down on the last trip from the mines, and it was fre quently the case that the train was almost stalled in the tunnel, though this was the first time it was actually stopped. It is supposed that when they could get no further the fireman and engineer began to firo up, causing a heavy smoke which suffo cated them. It was brought out in the evidence that the mine superintendent had cautioned Schafer not to haul such heavy trains, as 'the engine was not heavy enough. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death, Schafer's being due to his own negligence and Johnson's due to Schafer's negligence. Scnafer was 57 years of age and Johnson 42, both being married and leaving families. Their funerals will take place at White Ash to-day.
