Nomination of Cleveland.
tsrxclll- TELEGAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Washington, Nov. 13. One of the
most prominent and influential Democrats
in Congress was in the city to-day, fresh
from New York, There he took an active
part in the recent campaign. He stood
close to Cleveland during the fight, and was
posted at all times about what was going on.
To The Dispatch correspondent this
Democrat who will not allow the use of
his name because he is in the confidence of
the President-elect in a measure said to
night that he felt confident that Mr. Cleve
land had given no serious thought to the
make-up of his Cabinet except so far as one
name is concerned. That is the name of
Isaac P. Gray, of Indiana, who, it is
elated with positiveness, has already been
selected for a portfolio. The Democrats
with whom The Dispatch correspondent
talked said, however, that much informal
cabinet gossip had been indulged in by the
men who had been active in the campaign
management.
Names to Be Kept in Mind.
These leading managers, so the talk
ative Democrats aver, will hereafter be
consulted by the President-elect, and
the names of Senators Carlisle -and Grav;
"Wilson S. BIssell, of Buffalo; Governor
Pattison, of Pennsylvania; ex-Governor
Campbell, of Ohio; General Patrick Collins,
of Boston, and Congressman William H.
Hatch, of Missouri, would undoubtedly be
kept in mind by Mr. Cleveland.
The appointment of Senator Gray as
secretary orSiate would be a"vtfr'suitablc
and timely one, it is thought, as it would
make way for the return of Mr. Bayard to
the Senate, which would be particularly
pleasing to him. Should Mr. Bayard get
Mr. Gray's seat and Mr. Carlisle go into
Cabinet, the former would probably re
sume his old place as Chairman of the
Finance Committee, which promotion he
cannot get if Mr. Carlisle remains a Senator
and wants it.
The gossip of the slate-makers placed
Gray, of Indiana, at the head of the In
terior Department, and makes Campbell
Postmaster General, Collins Secretary of
"War, Bissell Attorney General, Pattison
Secretary of the Navy, and Hatch Com
missioner of Agriculture.
Gossip Abont an Extra Session.
Many Democrats have dropped into the
city since the electious, and, while they are
averse to being quoted on so delicate a
matter, they generally agree that the cal
ling of an extra session of Congress, to fol
low immediately the Installation of the
new administration, is an imperative
necessity. They say that any other course
would convince the people of the whole
country thai the leaders of the party
were too timid or too cowardly to
face the vital questions upon which
they made their fight in the
campaign, and from the very outset there
would be excited a lack of confidence in
the sincerity of the charges made against
the Republicans on the tariff and other
questions, and a strong suggestion that the
attacks had been for mere purposes of party
advantage and popular deception, and not
on account of any deep-seated conviction
that the Democrats arc right on these ques
tions and sure of the ground on which they
have been treading for years, each year
reaching out a little closer toward practical
free trade.
Not a Question for the Leaders.
It is admitted that no matter what may
be the feeling of the leaders, the rank and
file will bring so tremendous a pressure to
hear In favor of an immodinte assumption
of tlio responsibility placed on the party by
the elections as to make It almost Impossi
ble to do otkorwiso than to lake up the
movement In tho interests of "reform'' at
once, in a vigorous and aggressive session
of the Fifty.third Congress.
Itisclcatly evident, however, from con
versations witli persons now in the city who
will play a most conspicuous pirt in the
organization of the now Congress, that they
are fearful they will not he able to grapple
with the tariff and the silvor question in a
way that will commend thom to the con
tinued confidence or the people at large.
They confess that it appears it would be
disastrous to make any sudden radical
changes In tho tariff, as it ould possibly
unsettle values to an extent that would
produce a prompt and violent reaction
against the very nolicy which has seemed
to be indorsed in pronounced manner at the
polls.
Great Dread of a Business Panic.
The chance of a business panic or a severe
business depression, resulting irom legisla
tive action, or from what are termed "nat
ural causes," in the face of legislative action
or agitation, is looked upon with a leollng
of deepest dread, not only for its effect on
the business or the country, but for its de
moralizing effect on the organization which
would In all probability sweep the party out
of power with a wore decisive verdict than
that which has given it control of Congress
and tho administration for tho tirst time in
a quarter of a century. This dread is not
a merely passing one in the presence of a
new and vast responsibility. It is a sub
stantial one which wrinf from tho leaders
confessions of an almost hopeless inability
to wrestlo with the grave questions at issue
in any way that will not arouse a storm of
opposition.
Many of the ablest of tho leaders -Who are
In the city seriously admit that It would
liave been far better for the party if the
Senate had remained in the control of the
Republicans, that a share of tho responsi
bility for any changes in laws aflectlng the
eoonomlo conditions of the country might
have been shifted .from the shoulders of the
Democrats.
Only One Course Left Open to Them.
No matter how confidently they may
"speak through the medium of the press,
their timidity and dread, when they feel
that they can talk without reserve, are at
times so pathetic as to bo decidedly amus
ing. They seem to think, however, thnt
there Is but one course left open to them,
nnd that is to take the bull by the horns at
once in an extra session of the new Con
gress. If this bo done it will be, beyond all
comparison, the most Important session of
nny Congress held since tho days of the war
or the scarcely less critical days that fol
lowed in the period of reconstruction.
In view of tho eagerness of some Demo
crats for an extra session, a statement of
tho manner in which the strong tariff-for-
revonue-only plank got into the platform of
the Chicago Convention becomes Interest
ing. It may be remembered that the action
of the anti-Cleveland men on the night of
the nomination was all devoted toward de
laying the preliminary proceedings of the
convention, wearying the delegates and
securing an adjournment until tho next
day, when it was believed that Cleveland
could be defeated. Tho session of the Com
mittee on Resolutions had been drawn out
to as groat a length as possible by anti
Cleveland men on the committee, one of
whom was Hon. Larry Neal, coached from
the outside by Senator Brlce.
A Delay That Was Not Granted.
When a peremptory demand for a report
from the committee was imminent in the
convention. Senator Brice sent in word to
Neal that the fight would have to be trans
ferred to the floor of the convention. Mr.
Neat's terse and radical free trade plank was
therefore 'designed solely to precipitate a
wrangle in the convention and delay the
taking of a ballot. That It did not do so was
due to the prompt action of ex-Secretary
Whitney. Standing on the stage be was in
formed by a lieutenant of the purpose of the
anti-Cleveland men to delay action by a dis
cussion on the tariff. lie knew that Cleve
land was then stronger in the convention
than ho would ever be. It was already late.
"Let them have their plank. Tell our peo
ple not to waste time opposing it," he said
to bis staff officers.
The word was promptly passed among tho
delegations, and Whitney's forces hastened
tho ballot by adopting his opponents' reso
lution, giving them a seeming victory, but
defeating their real purpose.
The ballot on this Neal sub-tariff plank is
consequently wholly without significance so
far as the preferences of the delegations on
the tariff questions go. It merely repre
sented tno confusion and fiasco of a parlia
mentary trick that had failed. This is the
way the convention happened to bo so brave
and outspoken on the tariff by adopting a
plank which was not intended to bo adopted
by its proposers, and which was rushed
through to get it out of the ay by its oppo
nents. DAVE HILL'S WEDDING.
The New York Senator to Marry a Wealthy
Southern Beauty The Bride-to-Be Is a
Widow and lias Three Boys and a Snug
Little Fortune.
New Yoke, Nov. 13. Special David
B. Hill's bachelor days are numbered.
"When he returns to "Washington in Decem
ber, to resume his place in the Senate of
the United States, it is altogether probable
that he will have a partner with him. Those
who keep close tiaok of the social lire of the
National Capital have heard all about it-.
The Senator is going to marry. It is said
that the day is set, but that part has n.ot got
out. The lady, who it is currently reported
has won the clever politician's heart, is a
Southern heauty. Her name is Mrs. Fannie
Iverson. Her homo is in Atlanta, Go.
Mrs. Iverson is a widow, on the sunny side
of 30. She retains all or the beauty of
?:oung womanhood. Hor features are regn
ar, her eyes a rich blue, nnd her hair wavy
and golden. She is tail and graceful. She
speaks with the accent or tho cultured
woman of the Southland and is admlied for
her charming manners.
Senator Hill's visit to Atlanta, tho occa
sion or his first meeting Mrs. Iierson, was
made in company with Governor Itosnoll P.
Flower nnd a number or other pinminenc
New Yorkers, to secure the World's Fair for
this city. A lator visit, whnn the acaualnt
anco was renewed, and mutual 1 1 tends in
Atlanta began prophesying that something
more would coiuo of it. was made by Senator
Hill upon tho occasion or the unveiling or
Heniy W. Grady's monument, last fall.
The Senator expressed great admiration for
her, and she, in return, did not hesitate to
say that the bachelor Senator was a de
lightfully companionable gentleman. Of
course she denied that there had been any
thing like tho popping or the nil important
question. Mrs. Iverson has three children,
all boys, a snug llttlo fortune, and many
friends in the fashionable world.
OHIO STILL IX DOUBT,
Though It Is Apparent That the Republican
State Ticket Is Elected.
Coltjsibus, O.. Nov. 13. Eighteen counties
mado official returns to the Secretary of
State to-day, but three of the counties were
returned for corrections. This makes a
total of IS counties which have sent in their
returns. A comparison or the abstracts
with the official returns sent to Chair
man Dick show but slight changes in
11 or the 18 counties. The net gain for
Taylor, Democrat, was 45, and as nearly
half the counties have been received offici
ally, it can be seen that the fluctuations are
not sufficient to cut a very gi eat flguro in t he
result. Deducting the Irom Taylor's esti
mated plurality or 1,054, it still leaves him a
plurality or 1,009.
In the 3G counties Danrorrt's total vote is
113,624 and the other Kepubllcan electors re
calved 112,705, showing a gain for Danfnrd of
839. Se ard, Dcmocrat,recelvod a total voto
of 119,993, and the other Democratic electors

CHICAGO MAY REST EASY.
German Exhibits for the World's Fair Aro
Shipped Via Hamburg, but They Can't
Carry Cholera Germs That Is the Opin
ion of Prof. Koch.
Berlin, Nov. 11 The sending of Ger
many's exhibits to the World's Fair by the
way of Hamburg is said to have caused no
little uneasiness among some persons at
Chicago. It is feared, letters received hero
say, that in this manner cholera germs may
reach the Garden City.
Privy Councilor "Wermuth, Imperial
German Commissioner to the "World's Fair,
told the Associated Press correspondent
that it was true that most of the German
exhibits were sent by way of Hamburg. He
said it was the most direct and convenient
way, and that there was no danger what
ever. Pror. Koch atflrst declined to talk, as
he is opposed on principle to newspaper in
terviews. Ho referred the correspondent to
the publications of the Imperial Health
Offlco, or which ho is a member, but finally,
however. In view or the interests involved,
consented to be interviewed.
"It is out or the question," said he, "thn,t
goods ormerchandlse passing through Ham
burg should carrv cholera serins. It has
never been known that new goods carried
such germs. Choleta may bo spread by
human beings, or by the soiled clothing or
linen or cholera patients, but never by
goods packed in wooden cases, by iron or
stone. We knew these facts berore, and the
recent Hamburg epidemic has simply con
firmed our opinion that only thiough con
tact with infected persons or their clothes
could cholera he spread. If Chicago will
take the propor steps to keep people from
Infected districts away from the Fair, she
need fear no invasion of.that dread specter,
cholera, though the German exhibits were
cameo tnrougn Hamburg."
Mr. Johnson, tho United States Consul at
Hamburg, was in Berlin recently, having
come here to take his family back to Ham
burg, a sign that the danger has passed lor
the present, at least. Consul Johnson told
tho Associated Tress correspondent that
not a slnglo package was allowed to leavo
Hamburg for America without thorough
disinfection.
KANSAS A WET STATE.
The Governor-Elect Says Prohibition as
Practiced There Doesn't Work.
Topeka, Kxx., Nov. 13 Ifiipeeial." Excite
ment prevails in Topeka and other cities
ofthe State over tho statement that Governor-elect
Lewellyn will wipe out the police
commission system upon his entry to bfUco
and permit the police affairs to revert to the
hands of tho mayors. The police commis
sion law was passed several years ago by tho
Republican s lor the purpose of taking tho
government off the hands of mayors In cities
where the people rebelled against the pro
hibitory liquor law nnd to punish tho people
of Wichita, Leavenworth and Atchison for
electing Democratic mayors. Now it is
known thnt Governor Lewellyn promised
the Democrats or tlieto oitics that ho would
wipe out the system, which ho can ao, nnd
it has created cousternation among the Pro
hibitionists in Kansas.
Alrendy p irtles nre getting ready to open
saloons in Topeka. They say thoycan do
so and he unmolested. Tho Mayor is a
Democrat and the new Judge nnd County
Attornoy aro resubmission Republicans, nnd
would not probably bu radical in tho nunlsh
ment of violators. Governor Lewellyn is
hero to-day, and said cither tho joints had
to be closed in Wichita, Leavenworth nnd
other cities or they should be allowed to run
in Topeka; and thnt as public sentiment was
against tbelr closing in these cities, the
same freedom should be granted bore. Kan
sas Is therefore practically a net State, and
the "speak-easles" nre all moving into down
stairs rooms in public places.
A CARNEGIE DLTDLATUM.
Beaver Palls Strikers to Bo Notified This
Week to Apply for Work.
Heaves .Fails, Nov. 13. Special The
only new statement from authentic souroes
in relation to resuming work at the Curnegie
mills here, is that or Superintendent Wrig
ley, who says that it was the purpose of tho
company to publish an announcement or
the proposed reopening or the mills in yes
terday's local papers, hut no notice or the
kind was received at any of the newspaper
offices. It will probably be given out to
morrow. The notice, according to Mr.
Wrigloy's statement, will notily the men
that the mills will be started at a given
time, perhaps not until the boainnlng of
another week, and requests all tho old urn
p.oyes who aeslre to return to their former
positions to send in their names at onco or
their places will be filled by others. There
is no explanation of why the notice was not
published in Saturday's local pancrs as Mr.
Wrlgley said it would be.
When asked as to their pnrpose in view of
such a proposition, tho strikers return the
stereotyped answer that they are as firm
now as they were the day after the sympa
thv strike was inaugurated. Owing to tho
firesent brisk demand for the mill's product
t is the general opinion that when the start
is made the company will not spend time
waiting for the old employes to make their
decisions. They say there will be no appli
cations made, at least by tho skilled work
ers. FRATRICIDE AT A WEDDING.
The Victim Killed While Trying to Per

rsPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Ntw Yoke, Nov. 13. Mr. Cleveland has
been urged to take a short holiday out of
town. From early morning until late at
night his home is besieged by the tri
umphant Democrats who wish to congratu
late him personally. Mr. Cleveland cannot
receive even a small number of his visitors,
and a dozen secretaries would be unable to
reply to the letters and telegrams of con
gratulation. Mr. Cleveland's friends have suggested
to him that a short rest out of town would
be beneficial, and it is possible that he and
his family will make a short sojourn at
Lakewood or some other nearby winter re
sort. Concerning the disposal of the great
Federal offices in Sew York City, neither
Mr. Cleveland nor his advisors, nor Mr.
Crokernor the other Democratic leaders
have as yet mentioned the subject even
among themselves. At the proper time
successors to Collector Hendricks, Surveyor
Lyon, Naval Officer "Willis, Appraiser
Cooper, Postmaster Van Cott, United States
District Attorney Mitchell, the assistant
appraisers under Mr. Cooper, Brooklyn's
postmaster and its United States attorney
and all of the unclassified places under
them will doubtless be named.
Many People to Be Disappointed.
Concerning the Collectorship of the Port,
it was remarked to-day by a Democrat high
in the party that from all he could learn
Mr. Cleveland would regard the suggestions
of Mr. Crokor possibly more than anybody
else. This Humo Democrat also said that it
may just us well be understood now as at
any future ttmo that there aro bound to be
nny number of disappointments. Tho Ite
publicans lound out four yeais ago that
many or the best places are controlled more
or less by the civil sei vice laws. This is not
only true of New York, hut all over tho
country, including Washington.
It is known thatut tho recent election 400
Democrats loft thoir places in Washington
to go homo to vote. At least, they were
furnished with rednced lailroad rates for
this purpose. The Democratic mnnngcrs
were arcutly Interested In ascertaining
whether any of the 400 declined to take ad
vantage of tho opportunity offered them to
voto lor their party. All who uid not may"
hear something droair the advice of certain
Democrats is heeded.
Speaking of tho prospect! v-o changes In the
Federal service, it may he added that all tho
Republican chiefs of bureau:) are good
natured over the defeat, and have taken tho
fortunes of politics Jiko .philosophers. AL.
are rank Republicans, nnd are aind of it, and
they have no desire to remain longer in their
places than will bo convenient to the Demo
cratic opposition,
A Sunday Talk About Details.
Hon. William C. Whitney and Chairman
Edward Murphy, Jr., of the Democratic
State Committee, had an extended conver
sation at the Hoffman House, this afternoon
and evening, Afterward tho twogontlemen
said they hudnot discussed politics, but had
merely gone over a few of the details of the
lecent campaign. Mr. Murphy declined to
discuss the suggestions ot Lion tenant Gov
ernor Sheehan and others, phiclmr him in
nomination for the scat in tho United States
Senate shortly to bu vacated by Finnic His
cock, or Syracuse.
Thero were other Democrats at tho hotel
during the evening, and the speakership or
tho Assembly came up. Assemblyman Will
iam Sulser, or New York, is the favorite Just
now ns Dr. Bush's successor as Speaker. The
Democratic leadeis are partial to Mr.Sulser.
The Democratic leadeis say that Mr.Sulser
is a good parliamentarian, and one or tho
brightest and most intelligent of tho
younger element in the Assembly.
Tho new leader or the Assembly Is yet to
be discovered, and it isqulto possible that
he will not be known until ho is named in
the caucus at Albany.
It is a dollar to a peanut that Charles R.
Dofrcost will be re-electod Clerk of the As
sembly. Mr. Dcficest is Secretary of tho
Democratic Stato Committee, and was the
chief lieutenant of Lieutenant Governor
Sheehan in conducting the recent fight in
this State. The assistant clerk, William J.
Klli:i, is also, according to tho best author
ity, booked lor re-election.
The Ceremony of Casting the Tote.
A great gathering of Democrats is ex
pected at Albany, December G, when the
Prestdental electors or tho State meot to
cast their votes for Cleveland and Steven
son. 'The Judications are that the event
will ho celebrated with more than tho usual
ceremony that occuircd eight years ago.
Colonel Daniel S. Lamont Mas then Gover
nor Cleveland's private secretary. As soon
as Mr. Cleveland's election was assured In
those days ho told olonel lamont that he
would not go to Washington unless tho
Colonel went along as private socretary.
Things aro different now, nnd a good many
nre Interested in ascertaining who is to be
Mr. Cleveland's private secretary this tltno.
Colonel Lamont is out ofthe question. With
Mr. Whitney and others he is associated in
great business enterprises which in, a few
yeai s promise to make him a l Ich man.
The private secretary of the President has
a good deal to do with making tho adminis
tration of his chief popular. He must he
even-tempered, know everybody, or appear
to know everybody, who calls ut tho White
House, stave off the borei and mako things
as easy as possible for his chief. To meetall
theso requirements a private secrotniyor
the President is compelled to bo very much
of a diplomat.

Mr. Wilson were tho principal sneakers.
The anuounceraent that Mr.CIevoland had
acceptod the invitation causod intenso satis
faction yesterday among the mon who ent
to Syracuse. They took it as a suro Indica-.
tlou that Mr. Cleveland does not propose to
snub tho anti-snapper in tho slightest de
gree. Indeed, Boine peoplo go so Jar ns to
say that he means to recognize thom in
every 'nay In his power( becau-te he is gmte
ful to them lor what they did and most or
them have been his steadfast friends ever
slnoo his nomination in 18S4.
Since his election Mr. Cleveland has not
Indicated that he intended to show favor to
any particular sot or persons or any organi
zation, aside from the generally accepted
fact that Tammany Hall will not havo tho
slightest reason to complain of its treatment
in the matter of Federal patronage in this
city. Hoistnucli pleased with Tammany's
Splendid work.

Streams of telegrams and lotters to Mr.
Cleveland still continue. No letteis of

made some deliveries of packages on Satur

SUNDAY WASN'T BLOODY.
London's Labor Hosts Celebrate In Peace
at Trafalgar Square Plenty of Flam
ing Flags, but Speeches Are Moderate
Police Kept Out of Sight,
Lon-don, Nov. 13. To-day, the anniver
sary of "Bloody Snnday" Trafalgar Square
was the scene of a great popular demonstra
tion, in celebration of the restoration by
the Liberal Government of the right to
hold public meetings in the square, and to
give notice to the demands of the unem
ployed poor upon the Government and locol
bodies to start all needed public improve
ments, so as to assist in relieving existing
destitution.
The legions of unemployed, of Socialists
and their sympathizers, marched in bodies
to the square. A band was stationed there,
which greeted the arriving processions, the
first three of which wero Social Democratio
bodies. Thoy carried red bannors and wore
led by a number of girls waving red flags.
They took up a position at the base of the
Nelson column, about three sides of which
platforms were constructed. The balus
traded front of the National Gallery pro
vided three other platforms. All of the pro
cessions were amply provided with banners
nnd bands, the "Marsellaise" and other revo
ntlonary airs being plavod.
There was a noticeable absence of police
within tho Fquare, lint hundreds nn foot and
hundreds of mounted men were stationed
back of the National Gallery and at other
convenient places out of sight. Dotach
ments of threo or four were nlso placed
every few yards at the approaches to the
sqnure, while an ambulance corps with
stretchers and other paraphernalia was on
hand icady for service. Scotland Yard, too,
was ready ror an emenrency.
Tho square n filled with a vast con
course of people by 3:30. It was an orderly
Crowd, lion ever. A majority of tho proces
sionists wero well-dressed workiugmen.
Thero were 40 speaker". Including
John Burns, James Keir Hardie,
M. P., II. M. Ilvndman, Ben Tillet,
Bernard Shaw and William Snnndors, M. P.
Burns was loudly cheered. He moved the
resolution anent the unemployed. His
speech was moderate. He said that 30 per
cent of tho engineers and workmen in the
steel, iron, tin plate and shlp-bullding in
dustries were out of work, but ho attributed
this unfortunate condition to previous over
production. With nn eight-hour day's nork
ho declared this would be remedied. Ho ex
pressed regrot that the overworked em
ployes instead of the railroad directors had
been killed In tho collision at Thirsk.
The resolutions were put from all the
platforms at 4:15 p. ir. nnd were declared
earned, though tho hubbub prevented the
words of the.resolutions being hoard beyond
tho platform. At tbo head of ono procession
was a graybeard on horseback, representing
tbe Bed Spirit.

MISS MATHER MARRIED
The Fair Actress Is Scarcely Off With
the Old Love Than She
IS ON WITH ANOTHER THAT'S NEW
This Time lie Captures the Son of a Mil
lionaire Brewer.
GUS PABST, OP KlhWACKEE, THE MAX
ferECIAt. TKLEOnAMTO THE DISPATCH.!
Milwaukee, Not. 13. Captain Pabst,
the millionaire brewer, was very much
shocked to-day to receive notice from his
eldest son, Colonel Gustavo Pabst, that he
was married to Margaret Mather, the
actress, in San Francisco last "Wednesday.
This wa3 the firtt the iamily knew of
Colonel Pabst's infatuation.
The latter is a handsome, well-educated
young fellow of 2G years, who has been
noted for his modest bearing, attention to
business, and his love of outdoor sports.
lie is a graduate of the Pennsylvania
Military Academy. He afterward took a
course in the brewing school in New York.
On his return to Milwaukee he entered the
big Pabst brewery and was made Vice Presi
dent of the concorn. ne was generally
looked upon as Captain Pabst's successor
when tho latter should retire from busi
ness. His sudden marriage Is a great shock
to the family, ns well as to Colonel Pabst's
warmest friend in Milwaukee.
.Last snmmcr Miss Mather passed tho sea
son at Lakeside, a resort In tho lake legion,
west or this city. Lakeside Is on tho north
slae of Pewaukee lake. Just across, a milo
away, on the south shore. Colonel Put st hau
a bunting and fishing lodge. Itnas while
out there that he mot Miss Mather. Xone
even of his intimate friends SKspected"nny
thlng moro than a flirtation, and this was all
theio was between the two so far as any ono
knew.
When Miss Mather left Lakeside, about
tnn mouths ago. Colonel pabst went West,
ostensibly on a pleusure trip. Ho returned
a few weeks ago, at the time or the absorp
tion of the Falk brewery by the Pabst Com
pany. As soon as the details were arranged
ho left the city. It seems now he went
directly to San Francisco, where ho met
Miss Mather, and the marriage was cele
brated very quietly.
The tact thnt Colonel Pabst was nothing
at all of a ladies' man. and preferred hunt
ing trips to mingling in society, adds to tho
sui prise. His tltlo comes from his position
on Governor Peck's staff, where he serves
as aide-de-camp, with the rank of Colonel.
Captain Pabst was seen this evening, but
would say very little. He admitted that
Colonel Pabst and his bride wero now start
ing eastward on their wedding trip. Though
CaptMin Pabst did not say so in so many)
worus, tneinicrence was una ue nau made
up his mind to accept the Inevitable and
extend parental forgiveness to bride and
groom.
A special from San Francisco says: It was
the intention of Mr. and Mrs. Pabst to maku
public in tills city the fact of their union,
but the actress' engagement here was far
from successful, and notwithstanding young
Pabst's entreaties, sho decided to let the
mariiago remain a secret lor the present..
Young Pabst has been devoted toMaigaret
Mather lor tho past year, following her over
the entire country. It is said she secured a
divorce from naberkorn, the Pittsburg or
chestra leader, lat-tsuminer with the avowed
intention of marrying Pabst.
ENGLAND THE SUFFERER,
And Not Canada, by the Passage of the
McKInley Bill.
Ottawa, Okt., Nov. 13. Special. General
Manager Hague, of tho Merchants' Bank of
Canada, writing to a friend in this city re
garding tho announcement rccontly made
before the London, England, Chamber or
Commerce, that Canadian cxportors were in
a condition or commercial paralysis, says:
"At tho very time when Sir John Lubbock
is speaking about our oxport trade being
paralyzed, we are ourselves handling afar
larger amount of foreign bills based on
Canadian exports than we did last year, and
from all I hear the othor Canadian banks
are doing likewise. The circulation returns
ot our banks show an extraordinary activity
in tho matter of purchases ot export ar
tlclis, all of which tends to confirm iho ac
curacy of tho Custom House returns of ex
ports as given in official statements.
"Sir John Lubbock probably rnncies that
the Mclvinluy bill has paralyzed us. He evi
dently doea not know the only effect the
bill has had is to diveit many of our former
exports to the United States to the direction
of Europe. The Merchants' Bank has lor
some time back beon cashing bills on Eng
land drawn against exports tnither ot ar
ticles for which wo formerly cashed bills on
the United States."

Escape From Death.
There was another miniature war in
Homestead yesterday. Three strikers re
ceived gunshot wounds, while two colored
non-unionists were seriously beaten. Tbe
battle lasted less than 20 minutes, but over
0 shots were fired and Fourth avenue was
in a wild state of panic.
The wounded are Pritchard, Peter Mo
Fadden and James Jones. The names of
the colored men are unknown. Rumors
were afloat last night that numerous others
had been injured, but this could not be
verified. Before quiet was restored a mob
of over 2,000 men had gathered and some
one struck Deputy Sheriff Montgomery
with a stone. ( ''
The fight started on Fourth avenue early
in the afternoon. Two colored men, who
work in the mill, were walking toward the
mill when they met a striker who said
something to them. They replied, and the
striker knocked one down. With the same
extraordinary suddenness which always
characterizes Homestead, so far as the gath
ering of crowds is concerned, about 200 per
sons, including children and women, as
sembled. Both colored men fought, but
stones began to fly and the men were best
ing them when one colored man drew a re
volver and opened fire. By this time there
were fully S0O persons on the street, and
the bullets whistling over their, heads
started a panic Three men knocked down
the second colored man, and when he arose
he had two revolvers in his hands and began
running, shooting wildly backward as he
ran.
An Unknown Boy Shot.
It is said a boy received a flesh wonnd in
the leg, but his name is unknown. By the
time the men had reached City Farm lone,
six other colored men came along and were
assaulted. They all- drclr puns and ran
down Fourth avenue in the direction of
McClure street, near where 'their lodging
house is situated. Some oae hurled a brick
which hit Wash!ngton Paul on' the head.
He opened fire ana1 so did the others. In a
minute the air vwas full of bullets
and in front of the colored men
was a terrified crowd rushing into houses
for shelter or dodging up alleys. A woman
too frightened to run stood on the street,
and a3 they passed one of the non-unionists
shot at her three times. One bullet passed
through her shawl, which she bad thrown
over her head. Two bullets went through
windows of residences, and one buried
itself in the window sill of a second-story
frame occupied by the Coulter family, who
were looking out at the time. While the
non-unionists were running, men dodging
along parallel alleys would throw stones st
them. "When the colored men reached th' J
house they ran in and barred the door.
The Mob Tears a House Down.
In a minute the house was surrounded by
an infuriated crowd, who soon tore down
,the fence and shattered every window with
stones. When the depnties and borough
officers arrived some persons were suggest
ing that they burn tbe bouse, and some
one becan to yell, "let's lynch the nig
ger blacksheep." This was taken up and
cries of "hang em were heard on all sides.
The officers went in to arrest the colored
men. They found the latter huddled m one
room greatly terrified and expecting to
be killed. One man, however, was not
afraid and said he would be the first to
leave. As he was taken out some women
hit him with a frying pan, cutting his head.
Tbe deputies tried in vain to keep the
crowd away while they took the man to the
lockup, but the prisoner was hit with
several clubs. Stones were also hurled,
and Deputy Montgomery was struck.
The officers then drew their revolvers and
announced that if any more stones were
thrown they would have to open fire. A
Slav threw a rock which crashed through a
window already half shattered. He was
arrested, but the authorities seemed almost
powerless, for, by this time, over 2,000 per
sons gathered. Several other colored men
were beaten on the way to the lockup.
Colored .Men Mass for Attack.
About this time another alarming report
was circulated through the crowd. It was
in effect that tbe colored non-unionists lir--ing
on Shanty Hill, hearing of the assault
upon their brethren in town, were about to
come down and rescue them. This was
really the case. Over 50 of the colored bnen
wereready to make an onslaught at a mo
ment's notice, and the Coal and Iron police
had much difficulty in restraining them.
Marion Conrad, another non-unionist,
owns a house above Ann street on Fourth
avenue. During the shooting a large crowd
gathered in front of his home and when he
appeared began to threaten him. Conrad is
sworn in as a deputy sheriff! and he stood
in his door, a revolver in either hand, and
said be would shoo! the first man who
flntpmii ttmimiR Seeral denntles arrived
nt the tfme and Joined him, thus keeping tho
crowd back for an hour, when It dispersed.
Aftor all the colored men had been re
moved from the boarding house of Norrls,
tho excitement subsided as rapidly as it had
begun, and by nightfall no unusual crowd
were noticeable on the streets.
