Some six weeks ago it was an
nounced in the Pittsburg newspapers
that james McParlln, tho detective
who traced out the guilty parties in
the Molly Mcguire murders in the
anthracite region, had died. The ter
rible ordeal through which he had
passed III bringing the criminals to
justice it was said had destroyed his
health and brought on his death. 1t
turns out now that this statement was
without foundation in fact, but as the
time of tie publication in the Pitts
burg papers McParlan was detailed By
the Pinkerton detective agency to work
up the Maurice Healey murder case at
Danbar, Fayette county, this state. AS
it was believed that Healey was killed
in pursuance Of the order Of council
of Molly Maguires and as McParlan
could not hope for success in any ef-
fort he might make to discover the
murderers if his presence in the vicini-
ty of Dunbar should become known, it
is plain enough that he himself COM
mitted the pious fraud perpetratel On
the public in the announcement Of his
death. Eight men have been arrested
on the charge Of having been concern
ed in the murder Of Healey, and their
arrest is due to the detective work of
McPar,al.- .-Er.

No action more expressive of sym.
pathv and tender feeling toward the
sick President has been manifested
than that shown by General Hancock
yester day in refusing to make an eX-
animation Of the Notifications along
the New England coast while the ma
ti0n's patient was in such a critical
condition. lie had been especially in
vlted to conduct the examination and
had reached Boston with the expecta-
tion of so doing when the news of the
relapse was announced. He at once
declined to curry out his plans, and
said if there was change for the
worse he should proceed Immediately
to Washington. There is something
peculiarly courteous and Thoughtful in
the Generals conduct toward his late
rival which will not be overlooked nor
easily forgotten. -Philddelpti1 Times.

Admirable Conduct,

From the Hartford Post (rep.)
1t must be admitted that the con-
duct Of General Hancock since his
defeat has been admirable. His
presence at the Inauguration of
General Garfield was an event
which was exceedingly gratifying to
his countrymen of all parties, and
his refusal TO attend public ovations
oflate because OF the condition Of
the commander-in-chicf shows side
Of the man which wins respect.

GLiteau's Desperate Attempt TO XIII
One of the Prison Guards


WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Considera-
bic excitement was caused here this
morning by report that Guiteau, the
assassin, had made desperate effort
to escape from the Jail, attempting to
kill one of the guards. Investigation
of the report developed the following
story This morning about half past
| four, while w. e.. Mccall on9 of the
guards at the Jail was passing through
the corridor, something in the appear
ance Of Guiteau's cell attracted his at
tention. Entering the cell he found
the assassin in possession of q knife.
When the guard demanded the knife
Guitcau refused to surrender it.
McGull then drew his pistol and an ex-
citing tussle ensued, Guiteau making
every effort to get the pistol from the
guard. He succeeded, after a struggle,
but McGull after The most strenuous
eXertions, regaincd possession of it.
In the Scuflle that followed the weapon
was di scharged and the report brought
other guards TO the assistance OF
McGull. Guiteau was finally disarmed-
He had succeeded, however, in cutting
McGull's clothing pretty badly and
came very near inficting dangerous
wound. Guiteau pretended to be
crazy and complained that his pistol
had been taken from him. All the
facts indicate that Guiteau was pre-
meditatlng escape and that he had
formed some desperate plan. His pre-
sumption of insanity is believed to be
dodge, as he has acted as if perfectly
sane all along. The guard Of soldiers
at the Jail has been doubled and now
consists Of twenty men and three COM
missioned officers. A mos5 vigilant
walch is kept over the prisoner.

There was one thing the county
convention neglected to do, and that
was, to pass a rule fOrbidding candi-
dates for county nominations to travel
round for the purpose of electioneering
The thing has got to be an Internal
nuisance and ought TO be stopped at
: once.
The practice should be for every man
to stay at home and do bis canvassing
hy letter, aid by seeing such people as
he can see at the county seat or at his
home. The beygarly practice Of trav-
cling about from place to place and
from house to house for the purpose
of soliciting votes is contemplate at
best, and should be done away with by
prohibitOry rule of tie paaty.-

We heartily second the sugges-
tioDs OF the WotchmQn and arc only
sorry that the late convention did
not take action-affirmatiye action
on the subject. The matter of

some years has become a first class
nuisance and the party can not get
rid Of the demoraliziug system too
soon. It is expensive to the candi-
dates and burdensome to the people.
1t is real shame that q worthy
but modest candidate should be
obliged to go from house to house
and farm to farm, soliciting votes
for an office, to keep even with his
competitors. tits utterly at vari-
ance with true manhood OF good
principle. Let the party return to

Indians Fighting.

One of the Piutes known as Joe Sou,
was drunk yesterday morning and went
to Naches' camp, where he was very
abusive. He is said to entertain a
strong dislike for Naches, and on sew
eral occasions, when under the inhu.
ence Of liquor, threatened to shoot him.
Naches tried to get him to leave. but
his persuasions were resented with a
blow from club, and conflict ensued
in which both were badly cut and
bruised. Naches' scalp was cut by
blow, and Sou had cash cut through
one of his cheeks with knife, and his
face bruised beyond recognition. The
officers are determined to find out
where they procured the whisky. and
prosecute those who sold it to them to
the full extent of the law.

There will be large excursion from

Ten cars have already been engaged by
MIR. Mulchay, Chief Templar of Ne

hundred excursionists, and it is likely
that as many more will apply by the
10th instant for passage. All who de-
sire to go should apply at once, so that
accommodations can be secured. One
hundred pounds of baggage are allowed
for each ticket. There will never be a
