McKinlcy will be renomiated by' the Republicans ol Ohio. A great deal of interest is be ing manifested in the personality of the candidate whom the Democrats will put against the apostle of protec tion. Ex-Governor Campbell has positively refused to run again. Rep resentative Outhwaite, the dean ol the Ohio delegation in Congress, and Representative Harter, both of whom have been prominently mentioned in connection with the nomination, have voluntarily taken themselves out of the race. The other candidates so far are "Larry" Neal, the sponsor of the tariff plank in the Chicago platform; General Sam Hurd, of Cinciuati: Representative Tom Johnson, Allen WT Thurman, the son of the "Old Roman," and Walter B. Ritchie, a young lawyer and business associate of Senator Brice. Colonel James E. Neal, another formidable candidate, is taken out of the race by his prob able selection by the President for Consul to Liverpool. "Larry" and some of the other candidates men tioned would be handicapped if nomi nated by their entanglement in the factional fight in the Ohio Damocracy. Allan W- Thurman, who is in the citv has been talking of a compromise candidate whom he thinks can har monize all the warring Democrats and poll the full party strength. Mr. Thurman's candidate is iudge Alwyn N. Owens, of Columbus, ex- Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Ohio. "Judge Owens is one of the ablest lawyers, one of the grandest men and one of the staunchest Democrats in the State," said Mr. Thurman to night. "He has, however, not been actively in politics for several years and is absolutely free from entangling alliances. In my opinion he would make the ideal candidate to run against McKinley this fall." CAN'T SEE THE BOOKS. Reading Receiver* Don't Want An} More Experts Around. Tim receivers of the Reading Railroad company Monday de clined to allow Stephen R. Little, the expert accountant, of the New York bondholders' committees, to exam ine the books and papers of the com panj*. The refusal was made through W. R. Taylor, secretary to the receivers, who telegraphed it"to Charles C. Beaman, counsel for the committee of income mortgage bond holders, and John R. Dos Passos, counsel for the committee of general mortgage bondholders. 11 read as follows: "I am instructed by the receivers to say in reply to your telegram of the 24th instant, that the Pennsyl vania company for Insurances on Lives and Granting Annuities, trus tee of the income and general mort gages, is now engaged in the examine tion of the books and papers of the company of which they are receivers. They do not think they should per mit a similar examination at the same time by some of the parties for whom the Pennsylvania company acts as trustee. If they permit this to one bondholder, or one com mittee of bondholders, they- should Permit it to all. They do not see (he necessity for or propriety of this, Issac L. Rice i3 conducting the investigation for the Pennsylvania Company, and it will probably be two or three weeks j'et before his task will be completed. Prior to the appointment of receivers for the Reading Mr. Rice had for several rnonts been acting as the company's foreign representative. A BEEK BARREE EXPLODES Disastrous Ending (o the Eflorts ol an Amateur Brewer. By the explosion of a partly brewed barrel of beer on Saturday evening, at West Manayunk, Jonn Logan was painfully injured, a valuable setter dog was killed and glass cases and glassware in the store of Samuel Rea gan were destroyed. Logan, who was anxious to brew his own drink, secured a beer barrel and placed in it a quantity of hops, to which he added three buckets ol potato yeast, five pounds of sugar and a half bushel of finely-ground barley and corn meal mixed. He then putin all the scalding water the barrel could contain, drove the bung in tightly and set the barrel in the kitchen to await fermentation. About twenty minutes afterwards the family was started bj' a explosion that made the house tremble and which was followed by the cracking of broken glass and creaking of timbers. The kitchen was almost demolished and staves and hoops of the barrel that had not shot through the window were strewn about. On the floor the dog lay dead with the head almost severed from the body by a flying slave and Lagan was cut about the face and hands by bits of glass. In the adjoining house, occupied by Samuel Reagan as a store and residence, everything was confusion and the damage to glass and china ware was placed at 8100. A Crunk ill The WUitc House. WASHINGTON, March 27. —Mr. Cleveland's right to the Presidency was disputed to-day by Mrs. Thurs ton, an old lad}-, who not only con siders herself as owner of the United Stales, but of the Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland as well. Mrs. Thurston was among those at the public reception in the cast room this afternoon. When her turn came she grasped Mr. Cleve lands fingers and poured fourth her tale, much to his very obvious cm. Mrs. Thurston said she wanted Mr Cleveland to take charge of her possessions under a deed of trust to be handed over when she received her annuity of several hundred thousand dollars, which will enable her to live in a style be fitting her rank and possessions. After keeping the line waiting for five minutes, Mrs. Thurston moved on with the parting remark that she would return. The Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor will give a sociable at the home of Mrs. Charles Tinklepaugh Friday evening April 7. Mr. Ragbir a native of Hindoo stan who is raising money to estab lish a school for girls in that country, will be present and entertain the company with songs and recitations in the Hindoo language.

The Medical liccord, a journal of high standing in the medical profes sion, makes the appeal for total abstinence from the Zurich Society for Combating the Alcohol Habit the occasion for an art icle of much significance on the drink question, from which we quote the following : An appeal for total abstinence from intoxicating liquors as a bever age, which has just emanated from the Zurich Society for Combating the Alcohol llabit,presents tho sub ject from a scientific and humanitar ian point ot view, and the dangers— political and social —which menace the future of Europe by the almost universal use of intoxicants. Nearly the entire press on the Continent has stirred the communi ties to their very depths, as well as the recent utterances of the Emperor of Germany, who foreshadows the per ills of increasing drunkenness. This appeal is remarkable in two respects: first, in its array of signa tures, representing almost all profes sions, especially the educational and scientific circles; second, it is re markable for the strength, tact, and literary chare tor of the appeal itself.
