LONDON, November 27.-The Times cor
respondent at Rome says: The report
that the American bishops have proposed
that the Vatican send a nuncio to America
is unfounded. The report probably arose
through misapprehension Of the fact that
the Vatican thinks Of sending Mons. Sep
iacci TO preside as apostolic legate over the
labors Of the council to be held in America
in 1884. The American bishops are here
10 make arrangements for the council.
Monsignor sepiacci may remain in Amer
lea to carry the labcrs OF the council into
effect and afterwards to maintain
direct communication between the
Vatican and the Church in Amer
lea. The question OF reopening diplomatic
relations between the Vatican and America
has not been mooted. Moreover, the re.
membrance OF the circumstances which
lad 10 the recall from Rome in 1867 OF
General King, the American representa-
tive, will doubtless operate sgainst any sug-
gestion Of tho kind being fayorably viewed
By the American Congress.

PITTSBURGH, November 27.-Intelligence
from Murraysville reports that 1t is COM
paratively quiet this morning. The Wes.
ton forces surrendered to the Sheriff as
soon as they found they were officers. About
8 o'clock this morning the prisoners made
break for liberty and fourteen escaped.
Warrants have been ifsued for the arrest Of
the whole Weston party, including Wilton
Weston, DR.. ]. l.. Crawford, Albert Bow.
ser, Col. Blakely and Henry Ramalry, all
prominent persons. The information made
against them is murder. The inquest is
now in progress. This afternoon the pri-
soners will be taken to Greensburg Tor
hearing. The party will go in wagons and.
the principals will be handcufted. As.rong
guard will be mustered and there will
DO no opportunity to rescue them. The
names OF the dead and wounded are % FOL.
lows: Dead, o. V. Hsymaker; injured,
James P. Watson, probably fatal, Charles
S.amer, G. T. Ray, John McClelland.
A Murraysville dispatch at two o'clock
says the inquest has not yet concluded.
This morning fifteen armed men belonging
to the Weston force arrived and are now
on the ground, but have not attempted
any violence. Fourteen OF Weston's men
who participated were arrested and taken
to Greensburg, where they will be given
hearing this afternoon. Bowser is charged
with murder, and the others with riot and
ielonious assault. Everything quiet at the
disputed point. Both claimants have been
notified TO keep OF the grounds By the
sheriff. The feeling is intense, and in IA
vor OF the Pennsylvania Fuel Company.
The inquest concluded this evening.
The testimony ELECTED proved the attack
on the Haymaker party was most brutal
and unprovoked. 1t YVES shown that Bow
ser killed Haymsker, and also gave the
order to fire, and that the Haymaker party
was unarmed and acted entirely on the de-
feRsiye. The verdict rendered charges
Bowser with murder and the others with
ielonious assault with intent to kill. A
preliminary hearing was given fifteen per-
sons at Greensburg, after which they were
lodged in jail to await trial. The leaders,
Milton Weston, OF Chicsgo; William NJ.
Rehling, OF Gteensburg; James Johnston,
OF Pittsburgh; DR.. Crawford, OF Green's
burg, all prominent, charged with murder,
will not be admitted to bail. The wound.
ed are doing well except Hefner, who will
probably die. The post mortem examina;:
ton on Haymaker's remains developed
four bayonet and two bullet wounds. Any
Of the four bayonet wounds would have
been fatal.
Milton. Weston, in an interview this
evening, said that ls soon SO he could OBJ.
tain HE release from Jail he proposed to or:
ganize company and take possession OF
the well In Rpite Of the Sheriff or any one
else in Westmoreland county. Tonight
the telephone wires between Murraysville
and Pittsburgh were cut and communi.

LONDON, November 27.-There Is noih-

that Khartoum had fallen into the hands

vices indicate the siege was likely to be

CAIRo, November 27.-A correspondent
autographed that no news has been re-
ceived from Khartoum. This ia regarded
as giving ground for hope that the recent

FROM THE CAPITAL.
GENERAL RosrcaaNs, BIG SCHEME
For the ou.a'a..lsa Of the Democratic Party for
the cimpaisa Of 1884 Sergeant Mason Talks
Ab,ut HIS Inpslsoansat and Betty sad the
BIby - Tao spsAksrshIp Contest.

WASHINGTON, November 27.-General
Rosecraus is the reputed author Of 9
scheme for the organization Of the Demo.
cratic party for the next Presidential cam.
paign. He proposes to divide the Demo.
cratic voters into sections Of tens, ffties,
hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, and
twenty tnousands, each section to have q
chief, whose .iuty II shall be TO see that the
voters under him shall be in line for party
service at the polls or elsewhere, in obe-
dience TO orders received by him from the
head center. The chiefs are also to be In
trusted with the duty Of collecting cam.
paign funds and OF distributing campaign
documents, as well as the management Of
campaign work within their Jurisdiction.
The National Committee, under this sys-
tenn, would issue its order to State Com
mittees, and they would, in turn. instruct
the chiefs Of twenty thousands, &C., down
to chiefs OF tens.
Il is understood that General Rosecrans
proposes TO raise campaign funds by volun-
iary contributions Of five cents each from
every enrolled Democrat In the organiza-
ton. He estimates that the returns from
such q subscription would amount TO
sl.5C0,00o per year, upon the basis Of the
Hancock vote In 1880.
This scheme has still greater extent. It
proposes to apportion one.hall OF the
$500 600 10 be received annually among
the States, for use in local and Congress
ional campaigns, while=the other S750, QUO
shall he stored in the vaults ot the Demo-
cratic National Committee, for use in close
contests, and TO b. distributed as William
II. Barnum and William L. Scott direct.
The great beauty Of the project lies in
the fact that Il will forever place the Demo-
cratic party beyond the necessity Of apply
ing to corporations or menopolies for aesis-
tancs in the stress Of political weather.

Irbeing understood that Mr.. Carl schu'z
has retired from the editorial chair, orfrom
one Of the editorial chairs, Of the New York
Ersning Post, "Gath" shrewdly remarks
that the trouble with the Post has been
"too much opinion and too little iniorma-
tion"-too much editorial and not enough
news. The editor who is tlt for his bust
ness knows that editorial matter Is by no
means the most important thing in his pa
per, and he will never be slow to make that
give way for news or even for fair proper
ton Of miscellany which, II well-selected
and equally well.presented, is 80
much in favor with readers. II We were
asked to rate newspaper matter according
to Its relative importance we should under
ordinary circumstances begin at the local
and leave of at the editorial. When you

URpLEAsANT EXPERIENCE
or a Prominent Citizen Of wheeling or
the T.. W. d II. Road.
RETusEs 10 GRANT LICENSES

Mr.. VIM. L. Hearne has returned to the
city. He ives one Of the escort that accom-
panied the remains OF Mrs. VIM. II. Cooke
from this city to her former home, Havre
de Grace, for iuterment, last Tuesday.
While away Mr.. Hearne had very disa-
greeable experience, or, to use his words,
he was the victim OF ian infamous out
rage" The remains and Escort left on the
B. & q. Road Tuesday evening. Mr..
Hearne, being desifous Of visiting
Philadelphia before his return, asked
for q ticket for that place and was
given limited ticket, price $l2. Know
Ing that this was the price for first.ciass
unlimited tickets on the p, O. 4 ST L.,
from here to Philadelphia, he thought
nothing Of the ticketrntil after he was on
the train when he discovered that 1t ives
limited and further learned that on the b.
& o. unlimited Philadelphia tickets sold
for Sl305. He anticipated no trouble,
however. Just before entering Washing
ton, the engine Of the train jumped the
track and in the confusion that followed
the remains were not properly transferred
by the railroad authorities, and did not
reach Havre de Grace until $50 P. ~,
when they should have arrived at II A, NJ,
atwhich time the escort arrived.
The interment took place on the arrival
OF the train that evening, and Mr.. Hearne
took the next train for Philadelphia. The
conductor in taking up his tickets dis
covered that Mr.. Hearne had stopped over
on his stub, Baltimore to Philadelphia
thereby forteiting the came, as one Of the
conditions on which those tickets are js-
sued Is that it Is good only for one con-
tinous first cla:s pe-rsge. This was about
0 r. NJ, on the Philadelphia, Wilmington
& Baltimore road. The conductor told
Mr.. Hearne that his ticket was not
good, and that he would either
have to pay his fare to Hayre de Grace to
Philadelphia or be put of. Mr.. Hearne pre-
ferred to be put of. A gentleman offered
to pay bis fare, but MIR. Hearne declining
with thanks, sisted that he would not pay
on general principle. The train was ac-
cordingly stopped, the brakemen called in
and Mr. Hearne got of. Il ives about .
mile and q hall from E'kton;;
he walked to that place and
found. out that the gentleman who
had offered TO pay his fare.was the sheriff
Of the county, and bad heralded his arr.
rival. Leaving his sincere thanks for the
sheriff he retired, and In the morning pro-
ceeded on his way. He has placed the
matter in the hands OF lawyer, and II he
has any grounds whatever, will very likely
sue for damages. AT the time he was put
Off his ticket had twenty.seven hours to
