It is rather amusing to he a fellow

is afoot or on horseback, criticise the con- j
!nct of a canvass daring which he re
mained dumb as an o; ster.
On e by one every member of the Cabi

ia that no one oatsi Je of Democratic
readers has heard of it.
Os Friday last the Senate, now in ex

day 1 eveninj;, so that its members could
go home and attend the ejections.
A great many Cindidat, of both po

The Pittsburgh full (Jnz-it of
Tue-Jay has the following: 'Mr. Kooser
at a late hour yesterday withdrew from
the contest for juJ:e ia the Bedford-Somers-H
district This was a commend
able move in the interest of harmony
and euix-ess, for certain defeat etared both
him and Mr. Longeswker in the face.
If the word of this withdrawal can be
well (irL-uUted at so late an liuur the
district luay yet if ruvc-d, ac 1 Mr. Rey
nold a vix'un of a ten years' judgeship
ill vanish."
Senatok Jt .-.V Las at last tired of the
newspaper attacks on his personal hon
esty and integrity. The outrageous at
tempt made by Itemocratie leaders and
newspjpers to involve him in the plun
der of the Treasury by BarJsley was the
last straw that broke the camel's Lack,
and he has brought criminal and civil
suits against the Pittsburgh W nd the
EeaverS' ir. It is alleged, alr, that ac
tions will be brought against Mr. Kerr,
Chairman of the Ieiuocratic State Cotn
rnittee, and other Democratic journals in
the State who have loaned their columns
to the publication and circulation of the
cross t haigi s tgainst the Senator.
The truth of the old a Luje, "hen a
lawyer has himself for a client he has a
fool to deal with," has again been veri
fied in the matter of the will of the late
Presidential candidate Samuel J. Tilden.
Mr. Tilden was regarded as one of the
ablest nd shrewdest lawyers in this
country, yet after a lifetime passed in
drawing legal papers for others, he wrote
his own will so faultily worded that the
Court of Appeals in New York has just
decided that it is void. The amount in
volved isover $5.00,U0!, and Mr. Tilden'a
nephews will now receive the immense
sum that be intended should go to the
establishment of a pub ic library.
Miss Kvma Connees, of Clark town
ship, Inl., is a your.g woman of whom
all gfxvd citizens of her State shouid be
proud. She is the tacher of the dis
trict school, and her patriotism is only
e pialed by her pluck. A fine Tnited
States flag was recent'y raided with ap- t
propriate oeremor.it s over her school.
Certain ewlly disp'xx-d and thoroughly
"unreconstructed" perfors tore it down
the next night. When they weretased
with the lawless act they admitted that
they had perpetrated it, and decLrcd j
that they didn't propose to allow the
national colors to float over the school- !
house again. P.at Miss Connere was a
soldier's daughter and did not intend to
see the fiag for which her father had
fought dishonored. The dispatches aver
that she procured a new flag, nailed it to
the stalT with her own fair hands, and
resolutely declare 1 that she proposed to
keep it living during school boars, no
matter what the hazzard to herself might
be. The flag still waves !
Mvr,many men claiming to be f rouj
of their American citizenship, voted on
yesterday for Kngland instead of Ameri
ca. They professed to believe and con
stantly declared that the McKioley bill
is not benefitting American industries,
w hiie at the same time the English press
is openly confessing that the measure is
accomplishing all its friends claimed it
would. The Sheffield I) vhi Tt'rgrij.h in
a late issue says :
The McKinW bill ha not greatly afiVct
ed. wag!" io Kiiglandj on account "f the
enurniuus ux:k of imports shelved in an

tay rather vain dream j which has prevent

Os Monday evening last Francis J.
Kooser, Esq, announced his withdrawal
from the judicial content in the follow
ing card:

'Tpto this time I have a-ked your sup- j

For this abnegation of self in the in- !
teresta of party, Mr. Kcir is entitled to
the thanks and gratitude of every sincere
Republican in the county. It was very
evident that in a three-cornered conttrt
the Ilepublicans, with two candidates in
the field were overmatched, and to save
the district Mr. Kooser magnanimously
withdrew from the struggle. Those only
who have been engaged in j-harp political
contest?, with high hopes of pticees?, can
appreciate the anioant of self-sacrifice
required to thus prefer party to eelf
With the unanimous endorsement of his
own county, w ith its over helming Ce
pub'.ican majority, and tl-e justness of
its claim to the Domination, Mr. Kooser
was perfectly justifiable in expecting a
nomination and consequent election; but
w hen it became apparent that unanimity
coald Dot be secure! in the district, and
that party defeat would fallow further
IJereistence, he put aside self, retired
from the field and commended his Re
publican competitor to the support of
Lis friends throughout the district. There
are but tew men who would Lave acted in
this generous anolmagnanimous manner,

Elections took place in eleven States
yesterday, but only five were of special
importance. Tennsylvania gives over
-
50,000 majority for the head of the Re
publican ticket, but Captain Morrison,
for State Treasurer, runs a few thousand
behind, owing to the fact that the (ran
ger organization supported a mixed ticket
composed of Gregg and Tilden. In Ohio
McKinley s election is conceded by about
"),000 majority. The Kepablicans con
troll both branches of the Legislature,
insuring Sherman's re-election. In Xew
York Faasett sustains defeat, Flower's
plurality being estimated at 25,000. In
Massachusetts Russell ia estimated to
have 4,000 plurality for Governor, but
the rest of the Republican State ticket is
elected. Retnrts from Iowa are con
fused, but indicate the re-election of
Boies, the Republicans electing the rest
of the State ticket
TEXXSYLYAXIA.
Within three hoars after the polls had
closed, all doubt was removed of the
election cf Gregg and Morrison and the
defeat of the proposition to hold a Con
stitutional Convention. It is doubtful
w hether half a dozen counties ia the
State have given majorities for the Con
vention. Chairman Watrea claims the
election of Gregg by t)0,000 majority;
Morrison will be several thousand votes
behind Gregg.
OHIO.
Governor Campbell and the Democrat
ic State Chairman concede McKinley's
election by 15.000. Republicans claim
that his majority will reach 25,000.
SEW YORK.
The Tammany fling was too strong for
the Republicans of Xew York state.
Flower, I democrat, is elected ttovernor by
from 20,000 to 30,000 majority. The Re
publicans will hare a majority on joint
ballot in the Legislature.
IOWA.
Boies, Democrat, has probably been
elected Governor. Republicans claim the

Most of tie passengers and crew were
asleep when at 3:30 o'clock an alarm of firs
was sadden? sounded, and almost before
any one wsi awake, the boat was aflame.
The blare orrinated on the lower deck, but

A Fatal Affray.
SDTtMii, Nov. 2. This afternoon re
ports reachtd here of a terrible riot at West
Overton la night Telephone messages ask
ed that officers be sent, and three special of
ficers startsd st once from here. Late to
night ths police returned with sveral Italian
prisoners; They were employes of the Stark
brothers, biildiog the water works there snd
they were st once bailed out by their em
ployers. Tvo of tbs Italians are fatally shot
and were taken away by their friends. They
refuse to gire their names. '
Police officers state that ths Italians, who
bad been drinking, made s raid through a
Hungarian settlement at West Overton and
began yelling at the women and finally
threw stones into the bouses. A gsng of
Hungarians made a dash for the Italians,
and a terrible fight began. Over 50 shots
wore fired, while each man who bad no
pistol was armed with s knife. When the
two Italian foil mortally wounded, there
was a cessation in the struggle long enough
to enable a couple of officers to break up the
riot. Hardly one man out of tbe 40 in the
fight escaped without a pistol shot or knife
wound, or badly bruised by stones or clubs.
snd it is thought thai of the wounded taken
away more than the two mentioned will die.

tbat there are at least SiiOconviets now st
Urge who bave been given their liberty by
tbe miners. Tbe Governor left early this

Chill Declines.
Sahtiaoo, Chili, Oct. 23. The Chilian
government has replied to Minister Egan's
demand for an explanation of the recent at
tack npon American sailors. Tbe reply is
couched in very strong language, snd it is
understood that It sraounts to refusal to
accept responsibility for tbe affair. Tbe
State Department at Washington bas been
notified. Minister Egan, Commander Schley
and Consul McCreery are consulting togeth
er, snd it is thought thst deciaivs action will
be taken soon. Tbe Ststs Department's
orders in reference to the matter sre very
strong. The intendente of Vslparaiso bas
refused to guarantee the safety of market
boats coming up to that city rarly in tbs
morning from the United Stste warship
Baltimore, or ths safely of officers of thst
vessel coming whore at night. There is a
practical boycott on tbe Baltimore. No
American suloia ar allowed ashore.
Fall of ha Leaf.
Tbe bright, green leaves of summer, which
are now variegaied with golden tints, and
leafless trees will soon presage tbe coming
of winter's chilly blasts. Nature has been
more thsn lavish in ber gilts and abundant
crops mske tbe heart of the husbandman
glad. With tbe advent of fall it will be
well for all to take proper safeguards against
disease. A pure stimulant tones up the en
feebled system. For this purpose use Max
Klein s world lamed Silver " or Du
quesne " rye. Both sre warranted absolute
ly pore. They sell respectively at 1 50 snd
$1 23 per full quart. Major Klein also sells
six-year old Gurkenbeimer, Gibson, Over
holt, Fincb, snd Bear Creek at one dollar
per qusrt, or six quarts for five dollars. Tbs
