PENNSYLVANIA POLITICS.
The Need Of Harmony In the RepubIi-
can Ranks.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Thc publication
Of the proceedings OF the independent con-
ference in Philadelphia last Saturday, and
the appointment Of a committee to confer
with similar committee on the part of the
StalwartS, has caused much Commentam
members Of the Pennsylvania delegation
and Republicans generally. The almost
unanimous sentiment appears to be that
harmony i'm the party can only be reached
By such a frank and full conference as Is
proposed For several weeks past the
grayest doubts have been expressed in pri-
vate circles as to the Success of the Repub-
lican ticket in Pennsylvania next fall un-
less something should be done to har-
monize and reunite the oppos-
ing elements. Senator Mitchell will
not be in Washington this week. He has
gone to his home in WellsbOro and it is ex-
pected he will visit Philadelphia again be-
fore returning to Washington. Senator
Cameron is not in the city, and his friends
at the Capitol had, to-day, no knowledge
of when he intends to return. The
appointment of the Stalwart Committee
of Conference is awaited with much inter
est, as il j. believed that its members will
will be selected before the senior Senator
Senator returns to Washington.
The nomination of Jackson to be collector
OF internal revenue for the Twenty-third
district will not be reported to the Senate
until after Mr.. Mitchell returns. Remon-
stranccs signed by the best men OF Pitts
burg in opposition to JaCkson's contirma'
tion are arriving here daily, and Mr..
Mitchell will undoubtedly be able to make
a strong showing against the removal Of

A Horrible Murder in COlumbiana
County, Ohio.
A Discharged Hired Man Murders His Mis-
tress-A Riot at Greenfield, Mass.
Seven Men Arrested for
the Crime.
A lYNCHiNG IN INDIANA.

New CoMERsTowN, O., April 25.-The par
ticulars have just reached here from the
little village of Georgetown, Columbiana
county, of one of the most deliberate and
cold blooded murders which has ever been
perpetrated in Eastern Ohio. The particu-
lars of this most cowardly and revolving
crime, obtained by press correspondent,
are as follows:
Collins Summers, one OF the most promi-
nent farmers OF Columbiana county, has
had hired hand named William Stull in
: his employ Ger the past year .Drtwe, ana
about ten days ago he discharged him on
account of his quarrelsome disposition.
Since that time Stull has been lurking in
the neighborhood. Late on Sunday Mrs.
Summers was at the barn milking her COWS,
when she saw Stull approaching. Little
dreaming OF his murderouS in
tent or of the terrible fate
which awaited her. he came and stood
within few feet of Mrs. Summer, and said
"Good evening" She noticed nothing
wrong in his behavior, and after answering
him very pleasantly, resumed her work,
Scarcely had she turned her back, when her
cowardly assassin deliberately drew his six
shooter revolver and emptied the contents
of all the chambers in the body OF his in
nocent and defenseless victim, two OF the
balls taking fatal effect one i'll her breast
and the other through her spine.
The inhuman monster then fled and the
family were Mortified on rushing the barn
to behold the victim OF his blood weltering
in her own gore. Steele accused Mrs.
Summon with being instrumental in hay-
ing him discharged. This was the trivial
pretext for his numbering her in cold
blood. Parties are securing the country in
every direction in search OF this dastardly
assassin, and fears are entertained that he
will be lynChed if caught.

THE REGULAR CIRCUS STORY.
How a Man With Poker Laid n Loop
ard Low.

PIrrsRrRGH, April 25.-With the spring
comes the circus. and with the circus the
usual thrilling story OF the escape OF the
wild animals. The latest story OF the kind
comes from Harrisburg here. A project
ing beam tore the roof off the cage of the
leopards while il was being transported on
a car one of the leopsrds,. with savage
growls, mounted TO the topOt the train and
ran toward the engine. He Was seen by the
engineer and man who is c0naected with
the show in the dual capacity of business
manager and clown. Seizins poker the
man in question advanced on the animal
and laid il low, just as il was about 10
spring into the engine. fhe animal fell
under the train and was crushed by the
wheels. The other leopard was found
perched upon the drivers seat OF the
broken cage, quietly contemplating aPan-
ther in that part of the, cage which still re-
NAMED unbrokeH. When pursued he took
refuge under the cars and refused to De
dislodged. The train was started, and in
Alternating 10 escape IRON beneath the

The READJUSTERS.
They Declare I'm Favor Of the Admini--
Gration.

WASHINGTON. April 25.--The leaders of
the Readjuster party in Virginia will
within few days issue a proclamation de-
claring themselves supporters of the adj
ministration, and calling upon all men
in Virginia opposed to Bourbon rule to
avow their feslty to the President. This
pronunciamentO does that which places
many Republicans in Virginia in an
embarrassing position. Thus far Sena-
tor MahOnO has controlled the
Federal patronage in the State, and the Re-
publican representatives in Congress and
leading Republicans in the State have had
nothing to say regarding the filling Of
offices. There are many Republicans in
Virginia who will not pledge themselves
to support the administration, neither
will they vote the ReadjuSter ticket,
and it is expected that the lines
will remain about the same as they
were at the last election, when many Re-
publicanS opposed to Malone remained
away from the polls. The Virginia Demo
Gratis profess TO be highly delighted at the
new move that General Malone and his
friends are are about to make. They say
il will drive from the Readjuster ranks
many Democrats who do not propose to be
handed over to any administration in re-
turn for the patronage that the President
may bestow upon the Readjuster leaders.

Special Dispatch % ne Register.
W,,.N,roN. April 25.-There has de-
Yr.upei recently an interesting s4uabbe
over tie Hinton, West Virginia, Postottice,
.ae facts Of which are about as follows: II
seems that for some time past one Dick
Hu!.e. who Is employed in the Treasury
.rrnarrweut in this city. and who is also
.a. editor OF a paper called the Hinton Re-
publican. Is very much displeaScd over the
appointment Of Mr.. James Prince as post
master at Hinton. and in consequence the
sad Richard has for some time been furn.
shius his alleged paper with editorials
nrltten in this city, containing yenomOus
assault upon not only Senator Camden,
whom he alleges is responsible for the ap-
continent of Mr.. Prince, but also upon
ev-Postmaster General James, who appoint
ed Mr.. Prince in place of Mr.. Dunn, in
December last, shortly before his reSigna-
;ion. As before stated the appointment
OF Mr. Prince by Mr. James did not
meet the appreciation Of Mr.. Dick Burke,
which did not suit certain newspaper ar
rancements be is alleged to have had IN
view, for removing his paper from Monroe
county and establishing it at Hinton as
:he Hinton Republican.
For the purpose of bouncing Prince and
the reassessment Of Mr.. Dunn, Burke. It
seems, commenced a system OF abusive
publication in his paper rejecting most
grossly and Coar>ely upon Senator Camden
Hon. Wm. Prince, Of Raleigh county, the
father Of the postmaster at Hinton, AMI
ex-Postmaster General James, leaving the
inference that because William Prince, OF
Raleigh county. was a Democrat, that ms
son. who was the postmaster at Hinton, was
also Democrat.
fhss seems to have stirred up the Eepub-
leans OF tina, section, who show that
James Prince the, postmaster at Hinton Is
not only al active and influential Repuhh
can. but was a Union soldier and served
through the war to its close when Union
soldiers in that section were scarce, but that
ne was also chairman Of the Republican eX-
pCutiye committee for the county in the
last Presidential election, and also Presi-
dent Of the Hinton Garfield club. Mr..
Prince Is strongly endorsed and backed by
the Republicans of his section. The RePub-
lican Congressional Executive Committee
of the Third District, which recently met
in Charleston, passed resolutions indorSing
Prince and protesting against his removal,
which makes il certain that he will not be
disturbed.
Burke has placed himselfin position OF
violating the rules and precedents OF the
administration by personal assaults upon a
Senator and late Cabinet officer while
holding position as a Government clerk,
and it would no, be surprising if he should
some morning tnd upon his desk the much
dreaded yellow envelope, which always
contains request for the resignation of
the unfortunate clerk to whom it may be
addressed. Ii Burke is not very soon fired
out of his present position in the Treasury
department, it will no doubt be due to the
fnEhCa:aHce of Senator Camden.

PROBABLY FATAL ASSAULT.

feId-The Bloody weapon Found on
One of the Seven Men Arrested.

GREEEFIELp. MASS, April 2J.-A series
OF outrages were perpetrated here by a
gang of men employed in rebuilding the
Connecticut railroad bridge at Cheapside.
The railroad men were paid off last night,
got DRINK and, while at the Catholic fair,
they created a disturbance, and got into
rows at most of the hotels. John Flynn,
who drew a gold watch last night at the
Catholic fair, was several times insulted by
the bridge builders, and at about IL p. m,
he went TO Barnard Hotel, where he was
followed by the roughs. Two of them, said
to be Joe Hamilton and Jack ODonnell,
struck him and Lordlord Barnard, who
tried to separate them. Flynn left and
Hamilton and 0'Donnell were immediate
ly elected. The crowd of roughs followed
Flynn. and after some words with him
about the watch he had drawn, one OF them
struck him with a knife, exclaiming,
Take that with your watch, damn you.
Flynn ran shrieking up Bank row, across
Main street TO the Mansion House, where
he fell fainting on the steps. His cries at
traCted attention, and DR.. A. o. Deane was
Immediately summoned. He found Flynn
pulseless and covered with blood. Remov-
ing his clothes. stab wes discovered
in the right arm, just above the elbow,
completely severing the main artery and
the principal nerve. The wound is a very
dangerous Oue, lut hilllS ipPaINHN4y
ing been turned in the wound and the mus
Giles badly manglcd. Warrants were issued
this morning for the arrest of number OF
the men who were present at the Stabbing
OF Flynn, and seven of the suspected par
ties we're captured and locked up to-day.
Hamilton and O'Donnell are among the ar
rested The former resisted the officers,
and he or O'Donnell is believed to be
Flynns assailant. A bloody jaCk-knife
with blade of five inches was found on the
person of Albert Sahms, another OF the
roughs arrested. He explains possession
by saying stranger gave it to him.
There were several other disturbances on
the street during the evening, and Michael
Flynn, cousin to the wounded man, was
badly pounded The same night Stewards
clothing store, on the corner of Main and
Federal streets, was entered through side
window, and few collars and cuffs and a
small amount of jewelry stolen. The safe,
which was unlocked and contained small
sum of money, was untouched. The affair
was bungling one and is attributed to the
parties who recently burglarized Sheldon &
NewCOmb'S hardware store.
