Sheridan, as he won victories during the

and lie maintaim-d his place in the trio
of historic figures w hich by common con
sent stood first among the t'nion- gener
als. irant, Sherman and Sheridan were
for years mentioned in the same breath
in the prayers of all loyal people, ami as
these people think of the " ld Com-
ntander" and the wores of distinguished
generals who have answered to the lust
! roll-call, they will turn the more tenderly
to Sheridan. It is only w hen the people
at large stand in the presence of such a
sorrow that they realize how much of a
loss the death of a man like Sheridan is
to the Nation. The latest bulletins from
his sick lied state that his condition is
slightly improved, and that there is a
bare possibility of his recovery.
The Metiioiust Genekal Conference.
This quadrennial assembly of ministe
rial and lay delegates now in session in
the city of Xew York, is of intense inter
ests to Methodist people generally. It is
a lssly composed of one ministerial del
egate to every forty-two ministers, and
two laymen to every one of the sixty
some annual conferences, making its
number nearly five hundred.
The election of five new Bishops to fill
vacancies caused by three deaths in the
past few years and the growth of the de
nomination, caused a great deal of excite
ment and sjN-ctilation, and quite as much
electioneering and fine wire-pulling as
ever our most "scientific' Iemocralie
politician was charged with; and if pub
lished rejvorts in Xew York dailies lie
true, ballot st titling was practiced asskill
fully us it is by Southern adherents of
the kw. T,1(.re were no. , ,j
twenty-five prominent candidates, re
I quiring Ifi ballots to elect. Drs. Vincent,
I of Illinois, and Fitzgerald, of New Jer
sey; Dr. Newman, of Philadelphia ; Dr.
Joyce, of Cincinnati, and Dr. Gcsslsell,
of Xew Y'ork, finally got there. Hereto
fore Bishoi have always lieen elected
by a majority vote, but this time the two
third rule was adopted. A vigorous ef
fort was made to defeat Dr. Newman, on
the ground that he was not in sympathy
w ith the itinerant feature of the church.
For years he has lecn a kind of an out
sider sometimes pastor of an indejiend
ent church. He w as one of Gen. Grant's
warm admirers, attended him in his sick
ness and preached his funeral oration.
At one time General Grant appointed
him as a kind of general envoy to all the
Kurojiean governments. He is one of'
the most talented and brilliant preachers
of the world. He was forced on the ien
eral Conference by Philadelphia, New
Y'ork and Washington City laymen.
The Methodist Church is rapidly los
ing its old-time lsndmarks. and the pres
ent General Conference is innovating in
a way that w ill cause old-fashioned Meth
odists to squirm as tVtey never have be-
fore. The limilation formerly of two
years in the pastorate waa extended
twelve years ago to three years, and now
it is extended to five years. Presiding
Elders could only serve four years, but
now it is changed to six. The world
'moves, and so do churches.
PRESS COMMENTS.
Philadelphia Rullrtiit : A good deal has
been said about Judge Gresltam in t'-ie ptst
few weeks and it has been uniformly in big
favor. The first word has yet lo be printed
against his character as a man. a Itepubliean
or a public officer.
Sew York Taw : Tlie sjiontaneous move
ment tor Judge Urenbam is an honorable one
tliat everybody, save tlie Blaine managers,
w ill heartily respect. It in an honest and
manly attempt tu secure an honest and
worthy candidate for tbe arty. It is open,
6ur, and bold, h commands tlie tupiort of
many Republii-ans who were active in the
iwnqiaigii of 1SS4, and who would gla by fol
low lhe same candidate if they though he
could lead tlieni to victory. With these men
panicnUily, but scarcely less with all those
that hive been promoting Judge Urcshain's
candidacy, the motive of uuseltisb loyalty to
the party and an earnest desire to advance
tbe principle they believe tlie party to repre
sent is dominant. TbeGresliam men will sav
in the convention what they ssy now, that
they oppose Mr. Blaine chiefly because they
think he can not be elected.

is back from the Hamburg Democratic C'on

expressing his feelings. That Convention
did not rsu'it as be wanted it to. Speaking
with a reporter on the subject to-day he made
no attempt to disguise his feelings, lie
said :
There has been no Democratic Convention
It was a Scott convention, millionaire con
vention. All the FedrralofB.syhoMers were
there. It was controlled by oflice-holjrtfs
and those to whom atronafre was promised.
Tbe people were fooled with the promise of
patronage which they can never get. Mr.
Srtt posed as representing the Administra
tion; he is received at the White House.
Mrs. Cleveland came to bear his tariff stieech
in the House. Tbe people in Pennsylvania
were deceived by all this to think that he
has unlimited power in tbe distribution of
patronage. They all rushed to get some
thing, it was a sorry day for tbe Democra
cy of Pennsylvania. They will bear mm it
in November. They cannot control my
action in Congress. I to'. I them so. The
Convention was tbe most outrageous exhi
bition evrritr'.lin Pennsvlvania. There

To Make Him Leave Town.
Eastos, Mav 3i.-
ine oft he most coward-
I ly attempts imaginable was mailt- yesterday
nionutig to assassinate William M. Shiiltz,
ex-manager of the Able 0-ra lion-, in this
city. .Mr. Siitiltz is tlie e.litor and publisher
of the ihdimiir Ailr.t alr, and is frequently
in his otlice in the second story of Adam's
Express olre-e, within a stone's throw of o
licc U-ad-piarters, until a late hour. For
several weeks pxst lit! has received several
anonymous letters, two of which threatened
him with death if he did not leave town.
Mr. Slmltz paid no attention to them, and
continued at his business. Yesterday he re
ceived a drop letter requesting him to go to
Allentown last evening to see Manager New
hard, ol Music hall, in that city. Mr. Simltz
went np, and was surprised upon his arrival
to learn that Mr. Neu hard had neither sent
for him or written the letter. Mr. Shultz
returned on the train that gets here at 1:I
and went to bis olTUi'. The room is reached
by ascending steps outside of the building,
by passing over a wide binding from which
there are three outlets, and then through a
narrow hall alsc.it 3o feet long.
Jut as he was alsttit to ojicti his office door
a revolver was ..ischarged behind him, the
ball passing through the door jam of his of
ft.and thence to the frainp of the next of
fice door, where it imbeddi-d itself and was
found ahuit Hat. He hurried into the of
fice and raised the window, but failed to see
the would-be murderer ocaie. A police
man was called anil the premises searched,
but no trace of the intended assassin could
be found. Mr. Shultz preserved all the let
ters, and expects to lie able to use them a)
the projH'r time. He docs not intend to
leave Kastun.
Swallowing a Rival.
Philahelimiia, May li'. tine of the most
imsrtant railroad purchases of recent years
will soon lie consummated, being no less
than the transfer by tlia Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad of the Schuykiil River East Side
Railroad to tite control of a new syndicate
which w ill oerate it in the interest of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Conqiaiiy, and which
will at the same time gain iiosscsioii of the
Philadelphia extension of the Baltimore and
Ohio. The purchase will not lie made in the
name of the Pennsylvania Raitroad, but the
company is now being formed, and it is
stated on unimpeachable authority that the
money will be furnished by the Pennsylva
nia Railroad Company and that it will prac
tically own and control the East Side. This
will Im txf tl,i. llti.Kl l.i.i.r n.l
ami the 1 Vnnsylvama will not only crush a
possible through trunk line rival, but at the
same time gain a big advantage over the
Reading Rjilroad, inasmuch as the freight
Cicilities of the East Side, which branches to
both rivers, are of exceedingly great value.
They Killed the Sheriff.

lain, Robert Cattcrsou and Allien Benson,
! confined in the White county jail, ma le a
murd-rims assault on Sheriff Henderson last
' night, crushing bis skull so badly that be
w ill die. They afterward made tiieir escajie.
Catterson and Benson were tramps awaiting
trial for highway robber)-.
Chamberlain murdered liissweetheart Etta
Wi'deiiburg, at Reynolds, some time ago,
and was awaiting trial on charge of murder.
He narrowly escajied lynching, and will
surely be lynched if caught. Henderson en
tered the jail to lock the prisoners in tl.eir
cells, when Chamberlain felled him with an
iron bar. Tite whole county is aroused and
searching for Chaiulierlain. and his esciqic is
almost impossible. Right prisoners have es
caped from this jail in the last two jeans.
Eating Poisoned Cabbage.
Ekie, T.i, May ii;. The family of Peter
Burke, in the western part of tbe city, are
lying at death's door as the result of partak
ing of a dose of poisoned cold law. The
cabbage from which the slaw was made was
apareutly clean, but an examination dis
closed traces of arsenic xiwniiig. Tbe poi
son had evidently been used with some com
pound for killing bugs. Tbe family consists
of Mr. and Mrs. Burke anil a young daugh
ter. The wife and daughter are suffering the
most frightful agonies, but Mr. Burke this
sfternoou showed signs of improvement.
This is singular from the fact that be ate the
most of the relish.
Very Favorable Crop Report.

condition has been much more serious than
was supposed. To-day he had a relapse,
which Las left him worse. During tbe af
ternoon he improved somewhat, though he
was still in a condition which gave serious
alarm to bis fhends. This bulletin was
isstf-d from tbe Army Headquarters t
The general is not so well this morning, in
li'i, he has lost about what he gained yes
terday. To prevent any accident there has
btu physician constantly in attendance
si n.-ie Tuesday. Dr. O'Reilly ris-ts him sev
eral times a day. His serums attack on
Monday evening was due to heart failure, and
there was a slight recurrence ibis morning.
Tlie general's sickness in its active form
dates bai only a few days, but for more
than a year bis physician . has been aware
that he was in a very dangerous physical
condition and likely lo die suddenly at any
time. Some months ago, while be was be
ing discussed as a possible Presidential can
didate, a physician who knew his condition
very well to'd some of his friends that he
had 1 chan -e of living until tbe end of the
next four years term, and tliat it wasexoead
iugly doubtful if he would live until the
canqaign was over.
It all depends, he said, on the care he exer
cised, but even under tbe best circumstances
bis life could not be prolonged for any great
time. When it was admitted this morning
that bis attack was serious, tbe impression
among those who knew him was that he
could not recover, and to-night, in advance
of the bulletin, the rumors are of tbe gravest
kind.
The latest bulletin from General Sheridan's
sick room says that he is resting comfortably
and is cheerful, an 1 that his genernt condi
tion is improve. They sav nothing, how
ever, about the ultim ite result of the case.

Washixotos, May 27. General S!ieridan's
condition is certainly much worse than it was
last night. He appears to be gradually sink
ing and almost all hope has been abandoned.
His strength is gradually failing, and while
there has been no recurrence of the heart
failure, there is a continual tendency in that
direction, and his pulse has been growing
weaker and his breathing m ire labareJ.
His blood is thick and black. Ever since tbe
attack last night the physicians have been
doing all in their power to stimulate tbe
action of tbe heart, but without success and
its beating is feeble and uncertain, despite
tbe administration of digitalis and other
powerful remedies. His strength has gradu
ally failed during the day, and the hojie that
he would be able to rally has proved illu
sive. General Sheridan rested well during the
early part of the evening. To an inquiry
made at, 11:30 P. .. as to his condition, the
answer returned was:
'He is hovering between life and death."
He had some trouble in breathing during
the night, but he improved early in tbe day.
He rested easily and was perfectly conscious
and rational, recognizing those around him.
Pepotonized milk and chicken broth were
given him, and he took the latter with a rel
ish. His apietite was good, and he retained
all the food he took. The nourishment,
however, did not seem to give him any
strength, and be grew weaker and weaker.
His interest in passing events did not seem
so keen as on previous days and he read no
newspapers, as formerly, not seeming to care
for them. A few intimate friends were ad
mitted to his room, and to these he listened
with attention. His respiration grew worse
as the day wore on, and the lung-i failed to
pmpt rly purify the blood. Digitalis failed
to have much effect on him, and ab mi 'i
o'clock it was found ueccussary lo give him
oxygen in order to prevent the blood fnm
baconiing poisoned. This gave him consid
erable relief and he rested easy.
From 2 until S o'clock he slept for quite
a while, and since that time he has been
dozing at frequent intervals. Bromide of
isitassium mixed with chloral has la-en given
to induce sleep. Two physicians remained
constantly at his side to give immediate at
tention in case of need, and all of the doctors
attending the sick general were frequently
there together. He did not leave bis bed
during the day, but remained there propped
up with pillows.
wot LD uave Hts JOKE.
About ti o'clock he desired to lie lifted up
higher and two attendants, assisted by Mrs.
Sheridan, endeavored to raise him. He was
so heavy that they had some difficulty and
tlie general, noticing this, said jokingly : " I
am pretty heavy, but I have not got any
paralysis," referring to a newspaper state
ment giving that as bis malady. The .ede
ma of the lower limbs, which has been men
tioned, is a dropsical swelling, and is due to
an inqierfect circulation of the blood.
General Sheridan fully recognises that his
end may come at any time, and. it is said,
has made all the arrangements he desired to
have perfected prior to his demise. One of
the physicians in attendance said this even
ing :
" General Sheridan has great vitaiity, but
I do not think be will be alive 3ii hours from
now, and certainly not in two days unless
there is a great change. He has no pain,
and I think he will sink away easily. A re
currence of the heart trouble in ly come, tbe
heart will cease to beat and all will lie at an
end."
At the general's house all is quiet, and
conversation is carried on in stibjiied whis
pers so as not to disturb him in the least
should be lie able to sleep. There was a
steady stream of callers at the residence dur
ing the day, and many telegrams were re
ceived asking for information as to his con
dition. The callers include many persons
well known in Washington life and a con
siderable number of them were ladies.
THE PEES1DEXT S INTEBB-T.
The President sent a basket of flowers and
a note of sympathy to Mrs. Sheridan in the
morning. He asked to be informed of the
general's condition and expresssd a sincere
hope that his life would be spared. U-.neral
Sheridan has always been a great favorite
with the President, who admired his frank,
open manner expressing his opinion iiMn
current topics and his peculiarly pleasing
way of emphasizing tbe statements by little
anecdotes.
Tlie general appeared to gradually grow
weaker as night fell, and this change was
noted in the doctor's bulletin, which was
prepared at 8 o'clock and issued later. It
read as sollowi :
f P. M. The repeated attacks of partial
failure of tbe heart, and its cetitmued feeble
action, have induced a condition of the lungs,
which prevents the printer a-ration of the
blood. This condition has hitherto lieen
measurably controlled, but shows such a
tendency to recurrence as to justify the most
serious apprehensions. It is critical. He is
free from pain and distress and so expresses
himself.
M. O Reillv,
Chum.e- B. By u.ik,
H. C. Yakbow.
Two hours later another bulletin was
issued. It simply said : "' No change for
the belter has takeu place in General Sheri
dan's condition."
Washisotos, May 20. The following was
issued by the doctors at 8:30 i. m. :
" Gen. Sheridan has passed a most com
fortable day. He dozed at intervals, and
a Urn i jr. x. had a quiet sleep of nearly an
hour's duration, from which he awoke feel
ing refreslied and cheerful. He has slept
occasionally since. His mind is perfectly
clear. He is stronger. His pulse has gain
ed in force and regularity and no time has
exceeded 1 10. The respiration shows great
improvement and the ration of the blood
is better. Tlie .eh'tua ot tbe legs has entire
ly disappeared. He takes sufficient food,
and his tongue, previously much coated, is
now clear. If is secretions are normal. He
says lie feels splendid." ,
Mi UighL There is little to add to tite 3
o'clock statement. Gen. Sheridan's favora
ble condition continues. He sleeps easily
and rest fully, wakes occasionally, makes
some remarks, and goes to sleep again.
A Missouri Vagrant Sold. .
Mabsiiall, Mo., May 25. Jacob Boat-rl-bt.
colored, was sold at public auction to
day for a term of six niontlii tor 90. lie
had been convicted of vagrancy.
He Forces Free Trad Down the
Throats of His Own Dele
gates. Hasblsbcbo. May 23.-oe man power
was never more conspicuously illustrated
than in tbe Democratic State Convention
which was held in this city to-day. Congress
man William L. Scott, of Erie, molded tbe
thought and sentiment of tbe convention in
conformity to his own sweet will, and every
thing he wished was approved by the body
of which be was the absolute dictator. Last
night it was given out that Colonel Henry
McCornikk. of Harrisburg. a brotlicr-in-iaw
of Senator Cameron, the most promising
iron master in Central Pennsylvania, would
be one of tlie electors at large, notwithstand
ing the protat of Postmaster B. F. Meyers,
tbe local boss. To-day it was decided to drop
Colonel McCormick's name.it being intimat
ed that the iron master was not quite ready
to be placed on a free trade platform.
Tbe delegates-at-Urge selected are ex-At
torney General Lewis C. Caasidy. of Phila
delphia, Charles E. Boyle, of Fayette county,
ex-Congressman William Mutcbler, of tas-
ton, and Congressman William L. Scott, of
Erie.
Judge B. Maccallom, ofSusquebana coun
ty, was induced to accept tee nomination for
Supreme Judge. The electors at large are R.
Milton Speer, of Huntingdon, and A. F.
Keating, of Allegheny. The wretelied dose
of free tradeism which Scott forced down
their throats they were compelled to swal
low. Congressman Sowden, of Allentown. and
ex-State Chairman Dallas Sanders, of Phila
delphia, were emphatically opposed to en
dorsing the Mills bill. Mr. Sowden offered
an amendment striking out all of tbe tariff
plank except an indorsement of President
Cleveland's views-as expressed in bis mes
sage. When the' committee subsequently
reiKirted tlie resolutions to the convention
Mr. Sanders tried to get in a minority re
port, but he was again squelched by the call
ing of the previous motion.
William A. Wallace, of Clearfield, was the
permanent chairman. He said : The Dem
ocratic party bows to the civil service law,
but it detests the law."
The speech of ex-State Chairman William
I". Hensel, who was temporary chairman,
was tbe oratorical feature of the day. There
was a bitter fight in committee on contested
seats. The delegation from Pittsburgh op
jxised to Seott was ousted and the tree trad
er's friends were given seats. This action
caused great dissatisfaction and when the
committee's report was adopted by the con
vention, the unseated delegates left the opera
bouse vowing vengeance. They declared
they would vote with the Itepublicans in
November and tore their badges from their
coats in disgust. Aside from the free trade
plank and tbe indorsement of President
Cleveland there is nothing of striking inter
est in the platform. A candidate for State
Auditor will be named by the Stale commit
tee. New Catholic University.
Washington, May 2J. The corner stone
of the Catholic University was laid in the
rain this afternoon by Cardinal Gibbous,
aided by Arehbisbois Williams, Ireland and
Ryan, Bishops Spaultling and Kane, and
others. Tbe steady rain w hich fell during
tbe day caused the abandonment of the pa
rade of the societies. President Cleveland,
who returned from New Y'ork at 2 p. m.,
drove out to the grounds, which are two
nvles and a half from tbe city, and was giv
en a seat on the platform between Cardinal
Gibbons and Bishop Sjioulding. His appear
ance was the signal for loud and prolonged
cheering.
The choir was supported by tbe marine
band. The blessing of the site ot the uni
versity and stone laying followed. Tbe ser
mon was by Bishop Spaulding and the pres
entation of a gold medal sent by the Pope to
Miss Caldweil, whose gift of $3U0,0ou was
the nucleus of the fund by which the univer
sity has been founded. A large number of
prominent officials, Congnssmen, Cabinet
officers and diplomats were iu attendance.
Four Persons Murdered.
YmoycA, Wis., May 2. Information was
received hereto-day of the murder of four per
sons last night in the town of Kickapoo. Mr.
and Mrs. Reuben Drake, an old couple, were
shot dead in their own house by unknow n
parties, and the throats of their two little
grandchildren were cut from earto ear. The
lifeless botlies were found this morning wben
neighbors made au investigation because of
the unusual quiet about the house. Tbe old
couple lay on the floor and the children were
stretched in their beds. Everything was
turned u(side down inside the house, and it
is stiptosed that the murder was the result
of an attempt at robliery. The old man had
been knowu to receive pension money, and
it is supisjsed the robbers were in quest of
this.
It is not known how much booty was se
cured from the bouse. The officers who in
spected the premises found that the house
had been thoroughly ransacked, drawers
overturned on fhe floors, and everything left
in great disorder. Tbe murderers probably
demanded Mr. Drake's money, and uon his
refusal to disclose its hiding place, if indeed
he had any iu the house, shot him and then
his wife. The children were no doubt awak
ened by the noise and for fear that they might
identify them the murderers apparently de
cided i hat they, too, must tie socrifitwd, and
cut the throats of the innocent witnesses of
the horrible deed to make their own escape
more certain.
Thirsting for His Blood.
Ksoxville, Tenn., May 24. Hicks Car
michacl, a notorious murderer, has just
been brought in and placed in jail, having
been taken from the train by officers before
getting into the city. Carmicbael is the
most desperate negro in East Tennessee. He
has killed several men, the latest victim be
ing Deputy Sheriff Shike. The jail is sur
rounded by an angry mob, threatening to
take the murderer out. The Chief of Police
spoke to the crowd, urging that the law be
allowed to take its course. The men who
captured the negro also begged that the mob
desist, a. another negro was paid to betray
the murderer, and they made positive prom
ise that Carmicbael should receive a fair tri
al The murdered Sheriff was very popuular
and his frends are wild with indignation.
Judge Logan of Criminal Court, has promis
ed that the man shall be tried to-morrow, but
it is doubtful whether the promise will save
the life of the doomed man. At 10 o'clock
there were signs of an attempt to mob the
jail.
Scott Hanged In Effigy.
Pittsbi boh, May 24. The news of the
seuting of Tim O'Leary ond John Gearing,
two Scott men, as delegates to tho National
Convention from the Twenty -second district,
was received by tbe county Democracy with
groans and hisses. Tbe members were fairly
wild, and cursed the Erie statesman long,
loud and deep. It was decided to show their
disappropriation of Scott by hanging him in
effigy. A stuffed figure six feet long was
suspended from a flagstaff on SmithAeld
street, A placard was placed on the ungainly
looking representation bearing :
"Bill Scott of Erie. No Boas in Ours."
The etttgy is still dangling from the win
dow op-iosite City Hall.
It is bespattered with mud thrown by in
dignant Democrats.
The Dunkards.
Waaxsn, Ixo, May 27. The National
German Baptist Conference concluded its
work to-day at North Manchester. Tbe
meeting was opened by Elder D. E. Price.
The first paper related to the mode of bap
tism, and was decided that hereafter change
will be made from the double to the single
mode, A majority of the members favor
this change.
The Second district of Virginia and the
Southern district of Illinois sent in requests
lor the next annual meeting, and the invita
tion from Virginia was accepted. Tbe mid
dle district of Missouri requested tbe meet
ing in 1890.
FaliCkeex, May a. Reports in detail of
tbe flood oil tbe Mississippi and the destruc
tion of property caused by tlie breaks in the
levee, show that the stories of suffering and
loss can banliy be exaggerated. Two Illinois
counties, under cultivation awl peopled by
hundreds of families, hare been converted
into a great lake, and it may be months be
fore the waters subside so as to permit tbe
rebuilding of ievees, railroads and dw elling
houses.
From the northern end of Adams county
to the southern end of Pike county the land
on the Illinois side of the river is now a vast
lake, from six to ten feet in depth. Along
the bluff on the eastern edge of tbe submerg
ed district hundreds of families are camped,
being in tents, buts, and in the open air.
Much sickness prevails among the unfortun
ates. In some few places families are living
in the garrets or on the roofs of their hous
es. The towns of Nail Creek, Sechorn and
Hulls are but mere islands, and hundreds of
refugees are bnddled together In limited
space. Tbe damage to railroad property is
very great, and it is said that it will be three
weeks after the water subsides before trains
can be running on time. Quincy is cut off
from railroad communications north, west
and south. It is estimated that the loss from
crops alone will reach $3,000,000, and that
the damage to levees, houses and railroads
will approximate $GOO,000.
Fiendish Torture by a Madman.
PABKsssitrati, W. Va.. May 27. Informa
tion has reached here of the horrible torture
of a boy named Jesse C. Henderson on
Thursday by a lunatic. Henderson was
working in a field some distance from home,
near Long Reach, when a man came np,
caught hold of him. and bound him to a
tree. With a needle the lunatic pierced the
boy's flesh repeatedly. When the boy made
an outcry he would strike him in the face.
Tlie madman scored the lad's hands in sev
eral places with a large knife. He threatened
to cut the boy's heart out, and, still further
to to.-ture him, threw his knife with re
markable aim, pinning the boy's clothes to
the tree. Several times he just 'grazed tbe
flesh sufficiently to draw the blood. The
boy was thus tortured for an hour, when
some men appeared and the lunatic ran
away. He was captured on Friday. His
name is Isaiah Hoyt, and he claims Colum
bus, Ohio, for bis home. The hoy's body is
badly cut and scarred.
Explosion at Johnstown.
Joh.vstow.x, May 27. About 10 o'clock
this morning a terrific explosion shook the
city, and the startled people thought an
earthquake had occurred. It was soon learn
ed that the shock came from the direction of
the Cambria Iron Works, and investigation
showed that it was caused by au explosion
in tbe blowing house of tlie steel works.
The structure, of brick, containing six large
Baker blowers and an engine, was torn to
atoms. Parts of it were thrown into the
Conemaugh, 200 and 300 feet distant Elec
tric light poles situated about 50 fret from
the building were splintered as if struck by
lightning and the wires torn off. The ma
chinery is a total wreck.
Several people were in the building at the
time ami the streets were filled with church
goers, bnt no fatalities are reported. The
cause of the explosion is a mystery. Some
think that compressed air is responsible,
while others believe that natural gas found
its way from tbe converters into the struct
ure and caused the disaster.
More Outrages by White Caps.
Leavexwokth, Ixd., May 24. White Cap
raiders are at work again. Two of the lead
ing citizens of Bogard's Fork, in this county
were taken out and whipped Tuesday night,
lhe marauders, on horseback, and clothed
with the usual regalia, went to the house of
Jacob Strife and dragged him from his bed
and led him to a tree anil proceeded to beat
him unmercifully, he being surrounded by a
pleading wife and terror-stricken children.
They charged him with being too intimate
with a ncigbor's wife.
They then went to the house of Salem Mo
Kain aud broke down his door. They gave
him l"i0 lashes with hickory switches. His
offense was not providing for his family. Af
ter calling on a number of citizens and or
dering them to circulate the news of their
outrages they mysteriously disapieared.
Both men are in a critical condition. Great
excitement prevails throughout the country
over these repeated outrages, and a reign of
terror prevails. Good citizens are contem
plating organizing into a band for their pro
tection. A petition will be made to the Gov
ernor for the protection of the law abiding
citizens. Women and children are terror
stricken. The situation in our county rivals
the Bald Knob excitement of Missouri.
Spontaneous Combustion.
Altooica. May 27. A fiiy broke out at
Tyrone at 2 o'clock this morning, which ra
ged for several hours, and destroyed pnqier
ty to tbe amount of $.'M,0U0, partially cover
ed by insurance. Tiie fire is supposed to
have originated in tbe basement of W. C.
Love's hardware store. Main street, destroy
ing the building, which was a large two-story
frame. The warehouse and dwelling
house in the rear Were also burned, as were
five other buildings.
Tlie principal losers are E. J. Pruner, own
er of the building in which the fire was dis
covered ; A. M. Woodlin, stationer and
newsdealer; W. II. Holmes, druggist ;
Welsh & McGinn, owners of tbe building
occupied by Edmund Goodman, grocer, and
Helen Pitcher as a dwelling; C. J. Kagel,
merchant tailor; Independent Order of Odd
Fellows; J. L. Holmes, job printer, and A.
C. Noel A Co., tobacconists.
The fire is supposed to have been caused
by spontaneous combustion. This city was
telegraphed to for aid, but the order was
countermanded.
Boston Corbett's Latest Escapade.
TorEKA, Kansas. May 27. A sensation
was caused here yesterday by the escape from
the State Insane Asylum of Boston Corbet,
who killed John Wilkes Booth, the assassin
of President Lincoln. While out for a regu
lar morning exercise with other patients
Corbett suddenly broke from the ranks,
junqied on a horse belonging to a visitor and
was away before the guard could realize
what had happened. Corbett had been con
fined in the asylum for the past month, and
during that time had been more or less vio
lent, and several times threatened to escape
and kill the Governor and other State offi
cers who hail had anything to do with his
inrraceration. It is believed he has gone to
his home in Cloud county. Corbett, while
acting as Doorkeeper of the State House of
Representatives a year ago, caused tliclloiise
to adjourn suddenly by nourishing two pis
tols and threatening to kill the Speaker and
other members.
Sherman's Strength.
CmNeissATi, May 2. The Oimmrreail
Qaxttte says to day : " Tbe number of votes
tor John Sherman, on tbe first ballot, at the
Chicago Convention, has been carefully esti
ted. and will tall a little, perhaps 25, short
of 300.
" There is no reason to think that any of
these votes will lie in haste to leave Sher
man. On the contrary, all are believed in as
stickers. There will certainly be an increase
of votes on the second ballot."
Shot In at Church.
Jrnco, Tens., May 20. This morning
J. M. Chandler, agent of the East Tennessee
Railroad at this place, entered Congregation
al church while religious services were in
progress and shot Prof. Lawrence, the prin
cil of the high sclwxil, four times, inflict
ing fatal wounds. Everr shot took effect.
Tbe weapon used .being a double acting
Smith & Wesson 44-calibre revolver.
On Thursday night Lawrence had called
on Chandler to collect tuition from him for
two of his children who had been attending
school. Hot words followed, in which Law
rence reflecteil, it is said, on the honor of
Mrs. Chandler. The latter's husband nursed
the insult, and while Lawrence was engaged
in worship at the church of which he was a
member, deliberately shot hi m so that bis
death is expected at any moment.
Bk .i v, X. Y., May 27. Kev. IH-. Ly
man. Abbott accepted the permanent pastor
ate of the Plymouth Church to-day. At the
close of the morning sermon lie said that
wben be took tbe temporary pastorate he
had no idea that he would be called to re
main permanently. Tbe nearly unanimous
action of tlie church of Fri.lay night had de
termined him to accef a position which be
as weii as others knew he was not complete
ly fitted for. Se far from being surprised
that there had bin some opposition to him
be was surprised ihat so many should favor
him. He fell tint his well-known devotion
to tbe church and his close friendship with
Mr. Beacher were all that qualified him for
the position, and they alone influenced him
in accepting the call.
