SvrruitAY was a tkld day for Sena tor Q lay in his fight for the Chairman ship of the Republican State Commit tee and his election is now practically assured. Republican primaries were held in five counties and in Schuyl kill, a county convention, controlling an aggregate of twciity-toiir votes in the State Convention. Of the twenty four delegates elected tj'iay secured fif teen absolutely with a p;sib:i;ty of live more. Montgomery county, the home of cabinet ofiicer "Tom Stew art, which Mas confidently claimed for the Combine, elected seven Oiay dele gates by a handsome majority.

Perry and Adams counties, with two delegates each, were carried by the Combine. The re sult in York county, where five dele gates are to be chosen, is still in doubt. Itoth sides are making confident claims and it will take the action of the County Convention, which meets on Thursday, to definitely settle which side has won. Of the twenty-four delegates elected Lift week the com bine had only eotuvded tjuay two, claiming twenty-two for themselves. With the result of the elections of Sat urday, it is generally conecdi-d that the iHtttom has drop-cd out of the Combine fight. While the election of Senator tjuay has ne-er leen doubted by well-informed politicians, Satur day's victories merely clinched the re sult. Quay Syi "5o Compromise." Senator Quay last week returned to Philadelphia in the ttcst of spirits and met many of the local and State, leaders, who gave him most encouraging infor mation as to his fight for the State Chair manship. During his altsenoe. from the Quaker City a new dodge was worked by the news bureau of the Combine. Spur ious dispatches were sent to Philadelphia papers purporting to be interview with the Senator. The statements contained therein were then knocked pell melL, no hard task, since they never existed any where only in the imagination of the ambitious reporters whose greatest pay did not come from the newspaper ortiees. This does not seem to trouhle Mr. Quay any, however, as he ticlievo all such things recoil on the heads of the per petrators. He cave out the following authorized interview: "As I have already stated, I have not met Martin nor have I met any menilK-r of the Combine si nee the present contest commenced. I have made no propusi- tiontoanyoneand re-eived no projwtsi- t ion from any one looking to its adjust ment So far as the municipal rings of Philadelphia and PitbburP which have re.-cnt!y seized the State government. are concerned, there will not and cannot lie any adjustment The warfare they have wantonly and maliciously inaugu rated will go forward until I am elimi nated from Pennsylvania polities or they have lteeome a niirhtmare of the past It is of necessity a battle for good govern nient and 1 tetter itolitit, an 1 whatever the outcome of the 'JSh of August it will go on and the end is certain. "As to the suggestion that the present clash of sentiment is awakening hope in the democrats, I have every confidence in the intelligence and judgement of the people of Pennsylvania, and it will be iiiv ilasure as Chairman of the State Committee to accept the resjMtnsihility of the kihi-cks at the polls of the princi pic and candidates of our party. My friends are those of the party who have always lieen ready to carry the Uepub!i can flag under fire, and to stand by the ticket nominated, whether it is of their making or not I regard my election as positively assured." The Defeat of Virtue. The Hon. Matthew Stanley Quay seems to be marching placidly to victory in his campaign against the Syndicate of Vir tue, more rudely and popularly known as the Hog Combine. The other side has the greater collection of drums ami trumpets, but the industrious man from Il -aver has been very siii-eessful in tak ing delegates from the enemy. Can it lie that Republican Virtue is not so strong in Pennsylvania as was supposed? Can a mathematician like the Hon. Christopher Magee have made a mistake in his calculations? Is there a slowness in some parts of the Slate in rallying around those affecting monuments of purity in polities the Hon David Martin and the Hon. Charles Henry Porter? Have the stately form and martial im perial of tJovemor Hastings lost any o their seductive charms in the eyes of the Pennsylvania Republicans? And Gilkeson, the Hon. Henjamin Franklin Oilkeson, are there no sympa thetic tears for the gitod man wboru the wicked Quay is trying to displace from the command of the Republican Suite Committee? We had hoped to see every Kkind heart lealiiix for Gilkeson, even the preal Mayor Warw ick, in his pride ol pUee. did not inspire even Democrats with an irrestible passion to make him Governor.

Wot CtUiolie Temperance Adyoeatet are Opposing it The crusade legun by the parish priesU of the Pittsburg Catholic diocese and the Catholic Total Abstinence union against the manufacture of St Vincent beer for public consumption by the Uenedh-tine monks at Iitrols-, has aroused general interest in the question, and also in the beverage ibtelt among others than those who patronize the saloons. SU Vincent K-er is w idely known for its alleged purity of manufacture. The Ilenediclines brew similar to the out plan. There is none t the luirry in the relig ious brew cries at Lalrohe that is show n in tlte larger nreweries oi mo Mmui time. This in a measure, is what is said to give the peculiar qualities to the Ilene dictine brotherhood beer. In the large establishments the malt is brewed in immense quantities in gnsit tanks. It is put through a hurried cool ing process, in piies surrounded with salt and ammonia, and when it gets to the tanks from which it is immediately ltar- reled and shipped, it is full of generated gases from the artificial cooling process. The brotherhood article is claimed to Ie different Malt anil hops are all that are used in its manufacture. The malt is roasted to a dark brown hue, which gives to the St Vincent beer its dark color. The tanks are filled with the malt which is stew ed but once. The fluid is drained off from the tanks directly Into the great vats, whese it is allowed to cool In iced atmosphere ; the vats are sunk at the liase of Monastery' hill, lclow the abltey and industrial establishments. The beer is left in the open vats for months at a time. sometimes for a whole year, until it has reached its maturity. Theu it is barreled and stored away in eaves in the hillside until ready to le shipped. The "heavi ness" of the brotherhood beer is said to bo due to the immense amount of malt and hops used, and to the natural cooling methods which allows all possible gsises to escape. St. Vincent beer is very heavy and its effect iisu the non-drinking man is very prompt; he not being allowed to put away more than a couple of glasses. To the regular drinker, who may safely store away a dozen glasses of ordinary leer at a time, the brotherhood beer will call halt at a third glass. It also acts more quickly and with more decisive effect than lager, and it is this quality of the religious beverage, designated as a "nu tritious drink" by sjxs-iul grant from the Kpe, is made for the consumption only of the priests and lay brothers of St. P.enedicline. Under the grant tho Cath olic Total Abstinence societies base their right to ltave the outside sale suppressed. They claim that this "religious beer" will intoxicate a man quicker than the regular stuff, and that, while it is alleged lo be "pure," or free from drugs and cheuiii-als it tends to increase rather than diminish drunkenness The St. Iteiiedictino brewery, at Latrols; is much larger than is generally suppos cd. It contains three large tanks and four lay brothers are employed in the manufacture of the product. There are half si-ore of storage vats with a capacity of several thousand barrels. The broth erliood realizes a large annual revenue from the sale of the leor, which Is appli ed to the maintenance or the "communi ty" and lite carrying on of the education al work of the Benedictine. It is sai that the monks merely sell the beer to oblige a few friends of the brothers in nearby towns, and not for the revenue gained therefrom. It is a well-known fa.-t, however, to travelers it is sold in Philadelphia, New York and llaltimore. and throughout this state. It is sta; that the yearly output of the brewery for outside sale is from 4,ii0ti 5,iM) barrels, When lager leer is selling at f t or fhi per barrel, St. Vincent's brings from ?7.j't to p.t per barrel, and the revenue thus reali zed by the monks w hich the Cat hoi ii Alotinence societies expe-t to cut off by theai-tion of MotisignorSatoIli, orthrough an appeal to the pope, direct, is a'oout to $tl,""o per year. Clearing a Death Kystery. WKLLsitoiio, Pa., Aug. H. Miss Char lotte Dutton, alias Howell, wa arrested near here late on Friday night charged with poisoning Miss Klizabeth Knopp The Dutton woman has Ish-ii living with C'hauncey Howell as his w ife. The pois oned girl was employed as a domestic in the Howell home. She was taken sud denly sick on May 1 and died the next day. It w as found she had been poison ed. The Dutton woman Is supposed to have Is-en jealous of her. There are two other mysterious deaths which occured in the Howell family which w ill proltably lie charged to Miss Dutton. Shortly after her appearance at the Howell residents', the hitter's wife died under peculiar circumstances. Not long after his wife's death, a young son died with symptoms of poisoning, and it is alleged that Uith were poisoned by the alleged w ife of Howell. Extra Stssion of tis Senate.

It is also true that there are now pen-bug several cases of national importance, involving momentous interpretation of the Consti tution, and there ought to le a complete turt in Mober to sit an.l give judg ment.

Peter Sipe, A g't Cured By Ferrent Prayer. ltRAiiKonn, Ta., Aug. lrt. The appa rently wonderful cure wrought by R-ev. 'harles Summers, of I'nion City, on Mrs. Frank Wilson, of Orinsby, has greatly excited that town. Rev. Mr. Sommers, who is a Free Methodist preacher, was last week conducting revival services in the Orinsby school house. He learned that Mrs. Wilson, of that place, was dan gerously ill and called at her home. After he had conversed with the woman a few moments sho arose from her led, and since that time has Iteen in good health. Mrs. Wilson told a rexrter yesterday thediHails of the remarkable case. "I was taken ill aliout five weeks ago," she said, "and Dr. McCoy, ofSmethport, w as called to attend me. He performed two surgical otenttioiis but my condi tion grew more serious. I realized that I was near to death's door, and made my peace with heaven. 'Arrangements were made to remove me to the Bradford Hospital, but while they wero preparing for tho trip, Itcv. Mr. Summers came to the house. He asked me if I had faith in the Lora s promises. Cpon my replying in the af firmative, he anointed my head and eyes with olive oil, and said : " H), I-ord, drive the sickness from this woman into the devil and send the devil to hell, to return no more.' "The pain left me, ami I sprang from the bed and Teaped for joy. Since that time I have been in iny usual g'l health." Mrs. Wilson's story was substintiated by the neighbors. Rev. Mr. Sommers has performed cures of a like nature before. During the early days of Bradford he was a drayman, and had the reputation of being anything but a saint He has been preaching alstut 10 years Summer is an uneducated man, but possesses a peculiar sort ol magnetism, which seems to attract people and assists in making his religious labors success ful. Saturday's Primaries. Phii.aiiki.phia, August H. The result of yesterday's republican primary elec tions in the counties of Montgomery, York, Adams Perry ami Juniata and the convention iu Schuylkill county was generally favorable to Senator Quay and disastrous to the administration. The Schuylkill county convention elected its seven delegates to tho state convention with instructions for Quay and full re turns from Montgomery county to-night assure tho seven delegates from the cour.ty to him. Xo report could fo secured to-night from Adam and Juni ata counties of tho actual rosults.there, but the indication from the returns re ceived arc Ihat Quay will get the dele gates from the two counties. The administration secured Perry county's one delegate and the result in York county is still doubtful. York has five delegates and the admiiiistaaliou claims they have them all. Nonooftbo administration leaders wero in the city to-day, and consequently no expression of opinion from their side could lie ob tained of the result of yesterday's election. Senator Quay w as much ploasud over the result and said that it only coiu'.rmod his statements that ho would win tho fight Tho injury to his heel that Mr. Quay suffered at lii iguutino some, weeks ago broke out afresh to-day audio-night the senator returned to his homo at Heaver. He will probably not return here until the Philadelphia primaries are held on the tfith of the mom It. Stabbed Tht Pfc4cc3iakr. Cxiontowx, August 10. During a (piarrel over a contract for apples I'lysses Coll man, soil of David I 'oilman, of Ger man township, was st.tbls-d ami probalily fatally injured by a man uamcd Huffman, Young Cotfmau w as acting as peacemaker in a tight between his father and Huff man. It appears that Huffman worked the I'oundstone farm on shares and had con tracted to pick and sell the apples for half the proceeds A disputo arose over the contract and tho price of the first load and I'oundstone revoked the contract and sold the rights to Coffman. When Coffmau went into the orchard this morning Huffman attacked him and tried to put him out. A desperate strug gle ensued. Ulysses Coffman soon appeared and tried to separate the men. Ashe did so Huffman drew a long penknife and stab lied him several times in the region of the heart The injured man was carried to his home and a physician summoned. There is little hope of his recovery. Huff man is a stranger in the community, having moved from Klngwood, W. Ya. He has tied to the mountains of West Virginla; Fourteen Jurors to Try Kim. Fourteen jurors will lie Impaneled .o try Theodore Durrani the San Francis: o girl murderer. Authority for impanel ing H jurymen comes from an act passed by tho California legislature at its 1 tt session providing for alternate jurors In cases that are likely to be protracted. As soon as the regular jurors are impanel, ed District Attorney Dames will re pie-t Judge Murphy to allow the impaneling of tw o alternates. The matter has Iks-ii all arranged, and" during the trial II men w ill sit iu the jury box. The alternate jurors are what may lte termed emergen cy men. They w ill have all the priv ileges of regular jurymen with the excep tion of casting a vote or delilterating upon the verdict Their presence is simply a provision against 'pttssible delay iu tho case which might beciuse l by the sick ness or death of a juror. This will lie the first time the new law has been taken advantage of. Small Beginnings Make great endings sometimes. Ail ments that we are apt to consider trivial often grow, through neglect, into atrtt- cious maladies dangerous iu themselves and productive of others. It is the dis regard of the earlier indications of ill health w hieh leads to the establishment of all wtrts of maladies on a chronic basis. Moreover, there are certain disorders in cident to the season, such as malaria and rheumatism, against which it is always desirable to fortify the system after ex stsuretothe conditions which produce them. Cold, damp and miasma are sure ly counteracted by Hosteller's Stomach Hitters.

The range is across tho Yough river, near Fayette station, altout U miles up tho river from here. Several of the soldier lmys under Sergt George It. Snyder, re paired there to shoot The target is a large iron plate two inches thick. When practicing it is customary for one of the company to stand lwhind this target, and after the shot is tired to wave a danger llag, then step out and murk the so jre. While Milicr was U-hind lite target lltere was wtiite delay lefore Corjtoral Samuel Clark, whose turn it was to shoot fired.
