POLITICAL.
The political sensation of last week
came on Thursday morning and consist
ed of Rev. Swallow's open letter to
Hastings and C^uay. He shows np
Hastings' inconsistency and then "wipes
np the earth ' with Quay and his crowd.
The letter is viciously and criminally
libelous, if not true.
The official returns of Bucks Co. on
the Delaware above Phil's, were the last
to come in; and the offical vote of the
state is State Treasurer Beacom. 372,

President McKinley, in his keenly ob
wrvar.t way and honest outspokenness,
referring to the recent elections, is re
ported to have said in Pittsburg: "This
is a peculiar election all round You
see there are so many local issues in the
different States that the national aspect
has been lost sight of. In many States
the election has resolved itself into a
fight against 'bossism' irrespective of
of party." This is exactly correct. In
every State where there were noperson
al quarrels growing out of the faction
alism incident to excessive bossism there
has been no loss in the Republican
ranks, and the fact that two former
sure Democratic States like Maryland
and New Jersey are now firmly bound
to Republican fortunes shows the nor
mal drift of Republican sentiment. In
those States where bossism is most
marked the lesson taught will be salu
tary. The Republican party, largely
absorbing the intelligence of the land,
naturally has the most independent
thinkers and actors. These must be rec
ogn:zed 111 the future, aa they hold the
balance of power If Rev. Dr. Swallow
without a party organization and politi
cal machinery, can receive 110,('00 votes
and the head of the Republican ticket,
supposed to be the nominee of machine
dictation, runs nearly 40.000 behind his
companion on the ticket, it is high time
for the masters of political manipula
tion to ask the meaning of results.
There was a decided sensation in
political and official circles in Philadel
phia a few days ago when some city
and United States employees were
arrested on the charge of conspiracy
and the issuance of fraudulent natural
ization papers. The men arrested are
Eugene Lindsay, clerk in the Prothono
tary's office, and R ; ''ara Memck and
John Merrick, latner and son, who
are clerks for the United States Circuit
Court. It is said that fraud "lent nat
uralization paper- have \ iitriu-.bed
to foreigners for *l7 «*?> eh, and that a
considerable number of tie ~.i have been
issued. The arrests resulted from an
investigation made by the United States
District Attorney, which was prompted
by rumors that fraudulent papers of
naturalization were being issued from
the office of the Circuit Court It is
certain that amateur naturalization
mills of this kind are not needed and
it is to b« hoped that District Attorney
Beck will succeed in blocking that
branch of industry.
JOSEPH Williams, fireman of the
Northern Pacific transcontinental
train commited suicide by jumping in
to the fire-box of his engine. Before
the engineer could pull him ont his
head and shoulders were burned to a
cinder.
HAIUSISBUIM;.
At a late meeting of the State Live
Stock Sanitary Board arrangements
were made for the enforcement of the
Hfrnr law regulating the importation of
cattle into Pennsylvania. The law
provides that dairy cows and meat cat
tor breedtng purposes shall, nftcr
January 1, 1898, be examined and tested
for tuberculin before being permit
ted to come into this State except when
shipped in quarantine to destination
and examined at the expense of the
cmer by some one appointed by the
board. This law was passed becan6e a
great many tuberculous cattle had been
brought into the State. This resulted
in much expense to the State and loss
to owners. In accordance with the act
the board has decided to erect at the
veterinary department of the Universi
ty of Pennsylvania a building for these
tests.
An opinion given by Deputy Attor

Death of Don Sullivan.
I Don Sullivan, a son of C. C. Sullivan,
formerly of Prospect, bnt who for some
vears has been in business in Beaver
Falls, was killed by a foul blow struck
by a companion named Beaner at the
railwav station in Beaver Falls late last
Saturday night Burgess Pangburn
gave the follow ing account of the affair:
I was at my office until a late hour,
writing letters. Afterward I went to the
Fort Wayne station to put them on the
eastboun'd train. While there the train
for Pittsburg pulled in. I saw the
young fellows get off. They were
quarreling, but did not appesr to be
intoxicated. All went down the stairs
from the platform to the street, bnt
Sullivan. Sullivan finally started
down, and was passing the crowd
with his hands in his overcoat pockets,
when Beaner ran np behind him and
struck him with all his force on the
back of the head. Sullivan fell for
word on his hands and knees. Beaner
sprang on top of him beating him with
both fists on the head and face, when
the crowd veiled ' give it to him
"Punch "out of him." Sullivan
seemed to have no friends. I ran down
the steps, grabbed Beaner and threw
him off. He ran out in the street, and
I after him. I saw he was getting
away from me and I drew a revolver
and commanded him to halt or I would
shoot. He stopped, and I placed him
under arrest. He said, 'let me go. bur
gess; the fellow is not hurt much.
"Persons who had been attracted by
the quarrel picked Sullivan up He
was dead, but they did not know it.
Wake up, Sully, old boy,' wake up,
you're not hurt, they. said. I took
Beaner to the lockup, and at first he
did not seem to realize the extent of the
crime." .
A postmortem examination on Sul
li van's body was held by Drs. Burns
and White. It was found that death
resulted from a rupture of a blood vessel
at the base of the brain.
Beanener now relizes what he has
done and is almost crazy. He says he
alone is to blame for Sullivan's death,
and exonerates his companions.
Young Sullivan was a large, strong
man, and worked at the Union drawn
steel works. He was quiet and inoffen
sive, and had raanv friends.
Clyde Beaner, the man who struck
the fatal blow, is only about 17 years
old His family is very respectable,
and he himself does not bear a bad
name. There were three boys in the
Sullivan family, aud a fatality seems
to have existed with them. Two years
ago a younger brother of the man now
lying dead, while trying to board a
freight on the Fort Wayne road, was
run over andvut to pieces, and a still
younger brother is a cripple for life
from the effects of an explosion of a
giant cracker.
On Monday Coroner White held an
inquest. The jury rendered a verdict
that Don Sullivan came to his death
from the effect of blows at the hands of
Joseph Clyde Beaner, and that Arthur
William Bair was an accessory before
and after the fact. Bair was at once
locked up, and the chief of police made
information before Justice James Piper
charging him with being an accessory in
the murder of Sullivan.
On Tuesday the body was taken to
Prosi>ect, for burial.
Chickamaiig-a.
With impressive exercises, the monu
ments, tablets and markers erected at
Chickamauga, Lookout Mountain.
Orchard Knob and Missionary Ridge,to
commemorate the services of the Penn
sylvania state troops, were dedicated
last Monday, under the auspices of the
Chickamauga- Chattanooga national
military park commission and the
Pennsylvania commission. An army of
veterans took part in the exercises, near
ly 2,000 from Pennsylvania having been
fnaniched with free tarnsportation.
Gov. Hastings and staff took part in the
exercises. The principal cermonies
were at orchard knob, the headquarters
of Grant and Thomas during the clos
ing days of the battle of Chattanooga.
The monuments mark the position of
these commands: Twenty-seventh,
Twenty ninth, Forty sixth, Seventy
fifth, Seventy-eight,
Seventy ninth and One Hundred and
Eleventh regiments of Pennsylvania In
fantry. and for the Seventh, Ninth and
Fifteenth regiments of Pennsylvania
Cavalry, and Muehler's Independent
Battery B, Pennsylvania Light Artil
lerv. an<i Kuapp'a independent Battery
E, Pennsylvania Light Artillery.
Sunday afternoon the boys of the
Seventy-eight Pennsylvania regiment
dedicated their monument. Gen. A.
W. Blakeley, the president of comrnis
sion, was the colonel of this regiment,
which was recuited from Armstrong.
Butler, Indiana, Clarion and other
western counties. The regiment was
organized at Kittanning.
Gen. Blakeley acted as master of cere
monies, and the orator was R. P. Scott,
of Butler, who gave a history of the reg
iment and its work. Senator Critchfield
of Somerset, and Reprerentative Adams
of Philadelphia, were present and made
speeches.
Among the visitors who attracted
much attention were Daniel Clemmons,
Sr. and Daniel Clemmons, Jr. of Lan
caster. They are father and son, and
both joined the Seventy-ninth regiment
at the beginning of the war, one at the
age of 82 and the other at ten years, the
latter being a drummer boy. The
father carried a big haversack and can
teen, out of which both ate and drank,
during the Chattanooga Chickainaugua
campaign. On Monday the two visited
the Chickamagua battlefield, hunted up
the spot where they ate to-gether on the
day of the battle and once more took
dinner out of the self-same haversack
and canteen, which they have kept since
the war closed.

in song and verse by the gifted Burns.
Who like Burns often dwelt upon the
"Bangs and Braes and Stream, ' habits,
customs and manners with a feeling
and tenderness that was almost sub
lime.
And while this was true his allegiance
to America was one of honest con vie
tion His love for the flag and the con
stitution was no secondary one but was
the stannchest sort.
The poor and afflicted found a sympa
thizing friend in time of need.
He was honest, upright and obliging,
was truly one of nature's noblemen, who
served his day and generation accepta

He will be missed and the place made
vacant will not be filled soon with so
staunch and good a man. I).

Forces In the State to Unite—A Third
Candidate For Governor Senator
Andrews Says Colonel Stone Is Not
Qnay's Candidate—A Case or Scare
| All Around—Still Gunning For Deals
(From Our Own Correspondent.)
j Harrisburg:, Nov. 16. —The danger
that was feared by the Republican lead
: ers has at last materialized. Dr. Swal
low Is a full fledged candidate for gov
ernor next year. He expects to take
j advantage of the disaffection In the
; Republican party and sweep up the
i steps of the capitol like a four time
winner.
I The past week has been full of po
| litical surprises. Senator Durham, the
j personal lieutenant of Senator Quay
i in Philadelphia, came out with a decla
ration practically declaring himself in
dependent of Senator Quay. In the
newspapers he stated that no contracts
or harmony deals which Senator Quay
might make with Secretary of State
David Martin would be binding on
him. Privately, to his friends, he de
clared very emphatically that he was
done with Senator Quay forever. He
j had not been consulted about the Sen
ator's harmony visits to Secretary
Martin, and he did not propose that
Senator Quay should make a fool of
him after standing up for the gentle
man from Beaver as he had done.
LEXOW ANDREWS HOT.
Following closely on this came a
declaration from State Senator Will
iam H. Andrews. As is well known.
Senator Andrews is running the cam
paign of Colonel W. A. Stone for gov
ernor. Andrews, who In private de
clared his disgust and dissatisfaction
with Senator Quay in attempting to
patch up peace, also declared that he
was through with the "old man." As
evidence of the way he felt he Im
mediately gave out an interview in
which he declared I hat Colonel Stone
was not the candidate of Senator Quay,
but that instead he was making the
canvass on his record as a Republican.
Of course the fact that Colonel Stone
has as his principal supporter the
man who became notorious as chair
man of the Lexow committee; that
this man. W. H. Andrews, is working ,
the delegates for Stone, spending
money in his behalf, and running a i
suite of offices in Pittsburg at his ex- 1
pense while booming him as Governor 1
Hastings' successor, suggests the idea 1
that Andrews, as Quay once expressed J
himself, would like o know how it felt
"to own a governor."
IS STONE A STOOL PIGEON?
If this premise is correct the Stone !
candidacy represents either one of two 1
things, the aspiration of "Lexow" An- J
drews, who Is a man that was never i
known to do anything without seeing <
something in It for himself, or the de- ,
sire of Senator Quay to control the next
governor. Because It has been estab
lished that over a year ago Senator
Quay promised the gubernatorial suc
cession to Colonel Stone.
But. as has already been pointed out
In these dispatches. Senator Quay's de
sire is to use the nomination for gov
ernor as a trading power to secure to
himself a re-election to the United
States senate. Senator Quay Is ready
to throw down Colonel Stone, to whom
one year ago he promised the gover
norship. Mr. Quay is quoted as saying
In a recent newspaper interview:
"I am keeping my hands off the fight
for governor. Too many of my friends
are Interested. As for Colonel Stone,
he must take his chances with the rest.
Stone has been well taken care of. I
have kept him in congress ever since
he went there."
STILL. TRYING TO DEAL.
Senator Quay has not given up hope
of making a deal with Secretary Mar
tin and Senator Magee. No deal has
been perfected. Senator Quay has not
promised to do anything for David Mar
tin. and David Martin has not prom
ised to do anything for Senator Quay.
The matter stands Just where It did a
week ago. Quay is badly frightened,
and is trying to make terms with
Messrs. Martin and Magee, but no
terms have been made, because neither
Martin nor Magee will trust Quay. As
it stands today Quay is distrusted by
every political leader In the state.
By his attempt to get under cover
and leave Durham, Penrose, Thomas,
Andrews anil all the rest of his friends
out In the cold he has soured them,
and they are waiting an opportunity to
throw him off. Messrs. Martin and Ma
gue. to w h'.m K*»nntiir Qua*/ H»o ffonfl
on his knees and begged for reconcilia
tion and peace, refused to make a deal,
and so Senator Quay cannot claim their
friendship or aid. The result Is that
he is ready to fall between the tub*
without a friend in either camp.
But, more than this, Senator Quay
must certainly see defeat in the next
legislature. Ten counties In the state
gave Swallow, the Independent, a plu
rality, and if the same counties next
year return Independent members of
the legislature Senator Quay cannot
hope for re-election. Add to these the
anti-Quay members that will be elec
ted from Philadelphia and Pittsburg
and tne scattering Independents over
the state and it will be a political Im
possibility for Quay to secure his re
election to the senate without buying
Democratic votes.
FIGURES FOR IT.
A few ligures are very convincing.
In the last legislature there were 216
Kepubllcans In senate and house. In
the house alone there were 172 Repub
licans. Of this number 76 were staunch
unti-Quay men, who represented antl-
Quav constituents. In the counties
which were carried for Dr. Swallow
five of thein were Quay counties, repre
senting nine members. If these coun
ties alone next November elect antl
yuay members to the assembly Senator
Quay will have In the house only one
of a majority, provided the old number
of 76 Is re-elected. But the terrible rec
ord of the last legislature will result In
an upheaval, anil Instead of 76 anti-
Quay members there Is more likelihood
of !)6 being returned.
Over In the senate there were 44 Re
publicans, Ti of whom vacate their
seats thU year. Some of these are
candidates for re-election, but thqlr
records are so bad that they will not
be returned, and in their stead «ena
tors In touch with the people, and
therefore anti-Quay and anti-boss sen
ators to the core, will take their places.
If but 12 anti-Quay senators are elected
the senate will be hopelessly gone, and
the legislature on Joint ballot will be
ovei whelmlngly anti-Quay.
Senator Quay has figured this all out,
and it 1b because of the danger Impend
ing that he has sought to make peace
at any terms to "throw down" all of
his former friends, to trade off the
governorship, or do anything that will
permit htm to retain his hold on the
legislature. There Is no doubt that If
Senator Quay got deep enough Into
(llttl' ulty he would attempt to get help
from the D< rnocrats, but such a move
ment would Involve so much scandal
that he would hesitate quite a while
before attempting anything so daring.
BIG INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT.
Your correspondent has it on the best
authority that a movement is on foot
to unite all of the various reform and
Independent movements in the state
under one head, and thus concentrata
all anti-Quay forces In one gigantic
movement. It Is proposed to take a
man of wide experience in statesman
ship and of unassailable character as
a candidate for governor, Su« h a man
as Henry VV. Palmer, for example, ex
attorney general of this state.
This movement hopes to draw Into It
either one of the Republican factions,
both of which are now hostile to Quay,
and thus strengthen its power. Ample
funds will be forthcoming to carry on
the work. The projectors of this scheme
will not endorse a candidate of either
party, but will put a third candidate
In the Held In the hope of electing any
body but the < hoice of the bosses and
machine men.
It will be remembered that two weeks
ago it was stated in these letters that
a new movement was on foot among
Senator Quay's own friends to get rid
of him. This movement Is now seen
In the declarations of Senators Durham
and Andrews. If you doubt the asser
tion regarding the new Independent
movement. Just possess your soul In
patience for a few weeks and watch It
materialize as I have predicted!

I have a 1 leave Cure,that will cure any
case of heaves in horses in forty days, if
used according to directions, and if it
does not do what I claim for it, I will
refund the amount paid and no charges
will be made for the treatment. The
following testimonials are the strongests
proof of the medicines power to cure:
A. J. MCCANDI.KSS,
Hutlcr, Pa., 1893.
Mr. A. J. McCandless:
On the 2nd day of April, 1592 I com
menced to use your new cure for one of
my horses that had the heaves very bad,
and continued to use the medicine for
about forty days and the h >rse did not
show any signs of a return of them. It is
now about a year since I quit giving the
medicine and the horse has .<ever showed
any sign of heaves, and I feel satisfied
that he is properly cured.
