"Mr. Wright is a leading lawyer and
skilled financier, an able political local
organizer and knows where to put hie
hands even on Republican votes when
he needs them," nays the AUontown
Chronicle of the Democratic candidate
for auditor general. "He can talk pro
jection at a tariff demonstration and free
trade at a Democratic county meeting,
but ho will have hard work to convince
anybody that with the issues beforo the
people this year and tlie faultless .ticket
the Republicans have in the field he
stands any show of election.
"The Republican convention, too, was
run by the people. It was free from
boss rulo. Mr. Horrity's convention
was the worst exhibition of the insincer
ity of Democratic anti-boss pretensions
we have ever had in this stato. It is
rldioulouB for it to talk reform."
A Tip to Business lion,
At Logan, one of the principal towns
in the Hocking valley coal regions, where
Mojor McKinley spoke a few days ago,
says the New York Press, he was
greeted by a delegation of fifty former
Democrats, .including a number of farm
ers, who, declared their intention of
voting for him. Among them was Darius
White, a wealthy furniture manufac
turer, whose family numbers fifteen
voters, all heretofore Democrats, but
now determined to voto for the Republi
can ticket. There are many more busi
ness men who will follow Mr. White's
example, not' only in Ohio, but in all
the states.

' A wide-awake Impostor has succeeded in
Retting in considerable work on a number

A young man with threadbare, dudish
attiro strutted up and down the Lehigh
Valley depot platform tho other day and
vainly endeavored to mako an impression
upon young ladie3 awaiting tho arrival of a
train. Ho was.a young man whoso nppoar

fortunato acquaintance with a' man of large
and fashionable wardrobe, The Ward
McAllister outfit' made his flgura as pro-
sentablo as 'an iceberg in a tennis suit, hut
he was happy in the thought that ho was
cutting a stunning display. A reporter
watched him with intorest, but tho young
ladies tho fellow atlompted to dazzlo re
mained as cold as siono. Up and down
tho platform tbo imitation dude strutted,
but suddenly he lost hi hold on tho grace
ful stride. Evldontly there wa3 something
wrong. His promenading territory grad
ually became more circumscribed and his
gazo seemed to become fixed upon tho
platform. Suddenly ho stopped.norvously,
tbiew glances right and left, stooped, as if
in tho act of fixing a shoe laco, resumed an
erect position, and then suddenly darted
around tbo north end of tho depot. Had
his corset string broken, or bad ho lost his
garter? No, dear girls; bis hand had
clutched a disca ded cigar stump.

when a fowl meets-death beneath tho heart
less wheels of passing trains its loss smites
tho ownor with doep sadness. Hence It is
that the women of tho row watch tbo fowl
as a mother guards her child. Yesterday
one of tho women saw one of hor chickens
on the track. She chased it, and after a
good run and many dodges, succeeded in
making a capture. Taking the chicken in
one arm she slappSd It two or tbreo times
on the head and chattered away in Hun
garian as a woman scolds a guilty hoy.

GEN. DAVID M'MURTKIB GEEGG
Republican Candidate for Auditor
General,
In speaking of General Greggs' candi
dacy for auditor general, Colonel John
McElroy, editor of The National Tri
bune, and ono of the best posted men in
journalism on military plans nnd oper
ations and the personal services and
brave deeds of officers on the Union
side in the rebollion, while chatting in
Washington the other day said:
"Any ono who knows anything about
the services of the higher officers in the
late war must feel gratified at the nom
ination of General Gregg. The Penur
Bylvaninns should feel proud of such a
candidate, and sotting nil politics aside
should show their appreciation of his
distinguished services by giving him au
enormous majority.
"Gregg, next to Meado, Hancock and
Reynolds) was tho greatest soldier Penn
sylvania produced. By all means he was
a greater soldier .than Beavr. He was
second only to tho first cavalry leader
of the national arms. The first was tho
only Sheridan. The people of the
country never had a chance to know of
Gregg at his real worth on account of
hti inherent inodosty.
"Take GeneralJames H. Wilson, part
of whose command captured Jefferson
Davis; he, by some, is thought the most
dashing cavalry pfflcer next to Sheridan.
But Wilson was boomed 'considerably
during the lost year, of the war, and hav
ing boon associated .with. General Grant's
headquarters ,he had some advantage of
opportunities.
"I should put Gregg first. He was
the same grade as Wilson, Buford, Kil
Patrick, Merritt, Custer, but he was su
perior to any of them. He commanded
a division when they began to mass the
cavalry, and his services were incom
parable. He fought tho great cavalry
fights which preceded Gettysburg, and
history records with pride the bervlces
of his battalions of troopers ut that des
nerato crisis of arms in the war for the
Union. (
"Gregg was a great soldier, and for
the people of Pennsylvania to do any
thing but to handsomely honor him In
this campaign for civic office would im
peach their gratitude, and it might al
most be said their patriotism."

Sho Signod tho Will.
Saleh, Mass., Sen. 23. At tho begin
ning or tho trial or the Hopklni-Scarles
will case yostorday, all of tho contestant
wero either present personally or ropro
aented by distinguished counsel.
The Crst proceedings wero the reading
of tho petition and will. William W.
Dodge, a wltnea to the will, testlllod tl
going from Cambridge to Mothuen July
10, 18a, and drawing tho will, of Mrs
Searles. It was read to her, and bIig
signed it after declaring that It expressed
her wishes. Sho was to all nppoaraucos
of sound mind.
Mr. Burleigh, of counsel for Timothy
Hopkins, asked that thu will of Kdward
S. Searlo, mentioned as having been
drawn at the same time, be produced.
Incidental to tho discussion of this re
quest, Mr. Lincoln, for tho executor,
stated that thu executor did not concede
the right of Timothy Hopkins to appear
ns the adopted eon. Mr. Burleigh re
peated that both tho will and uotico ro
cognizod tho relationship.
Mr. Burleigh pressed tho demand for
Mr. Searlo's will and tho Court rulod
that it was competent, but declined to
postpone tho hearing, directing tho ex
ecutors, however, to produce tho will.
Mr. Burleigh proceeded to cross-examine
witnesses, his main point being tho
fact tha; the name "Timothy Hopkins"
was written apparently in a different
ink and in a blank space left for the
name,
Mr. Dodgo stated that his Impression
was that he left tho apace until ho got to
Mcthuen, as ho was not sure whether
thero was a middle initial.
Ho had been Instructed to draw a will
leaving all tho property to Mr. Soarlos,
and as his duty as a lawyer required, ho
Inserted tho noctlon regarding tho omis
sion of tho name of Timothy Hopkins.
Ho called tho spocial nttentlou of Mrs.
Searles to this and told her he could
modify it if sho desired, but sho stilted
that it expressed her wishes, and it was
executed. Witness took it away and
sent It to Now York to the executor.
The examination of Edward V. Searles
was then commenced. Ho first mot Mrs.
Hopkins in March, 18S3, nt Snn Fran
cisco, golug to her house with a lettor
of introduction to look over the house.
He then detailed his acquaintance and
visits to Mrs. Hopkins.
Tho first proposition of marriage be
tween tho, two came from Mrs. Hopkins
in New York in 1883. He did not assent to
it for a year, but in December, 1881, ho
entertained tho proposition; know at tho
time thnt Mrs. Hopkins was born in
1820. He delayod accepting the proposi
tion of mnrrlngu to give her a chance to
be suro that she was satisfied, and after
ho entertained it delayed marriage for
three yoars.
In tho spring of 1880 went to Florida,
as tho guest of Mrs. Hopkins, in her pri
vate car. Ho was accompanied by Miss
Cass of Great Barrlugton. Witness,
from 1885 to 1887, was superintending
the building of Mrs. Hopkins' house nt
Great. Barrington. Ho has understood
that tho son Timothy, In connection with
the railroad people, managed her affairs;
hod been told by Mrs. Hopkins that
Timothy hod objected to the marriage,
hut had cherished no ill-will toward him
for it; tho agreement of marriage was
entered Into in September, 1837, on wit
ness' part because he greatly admired
her.
In reply to a question he said that ho
married her for all sho had both love and
money, but should uover have married
hor for money alone. Did not know of
the will made the day of the lUHrrlago,
November 8, 1887, until after her death,
hut did not think it was iutuntloually
made behind his back.
