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:

Con meed that there is cravo danger that

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

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.

with Collector Cooper, the Senator did not

her of the Advisory Board, .
Arrested in Altoona.
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. "

ANOTHER HEAVY DOSE
Prescribed for a Speak-Easy Operator Sam
uel Whitehouse, Jr., Pleads Hindis He
Is Sent to the "Workhouse for a Tear and
Fined 81,100.
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.

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

Chloride of magneilum T4X) .3180
Chloride of tudlum 1.4000 1.0430
bodlum carbonate 2.700U 1.8!W0
Continuiug Mr. Wilcox says: "The
water is of a remarkable good quality, the
very low percentage of free and albumenoid
ammonia, nitrites and nitrates and the low
percentage of chlorine show the water to be
remarkably pure and free from sewage
contamination. 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."

The High School "Wants a New Piano and
Some Books.
The High School Committee of the "Cen
tral Board met last night On motion of
Mr. Torrance the committee was divided in
three sub-committees to attend to the sup
plies in the High School, Normal School
and commercial department A request
from Principal Wood tor a lot of new books
was referred to tho Library Committee.
Mr. Wood also asked for a new piano for
the High School. He stated the one in use
had been there for 22 years and had about
outlived, its usefulness. The committee
favored the purchase of a new instru
ment, but deferred action on it on
account of a depleted appropriation.
Miss Balston, ot the Normal School, made
a request also for some new desks and a
flag, as the banner given by the Jr. 'O. TJ.
A. M. some time ago is now worn out and
ragged. The committee deferred action on
that also. ,

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.
