The Pensylvanis Republican Stat

The Pensylvanis Republican State
Convention was very harmonious (?)
gathering. The StaIwarts took
everything into their hands and
actually ran the whole machine. A
number Of the so-called Independ-
ents repented aud asked admittance
to the CAMERON fold, and Don's
agents took compassion on them and
admitted them to full fellowship
again. The more influential persons
who have been acting with the In
depeneDt wing Of the party however
we're greatly disgusted with the way
in which the Convention was man
aged, and The nominations which it
made, and have openly declared
that they will support the Democratic
ticket at the coming election.

Ex- GOVERNOR HoYrE of Pennsul

Ex- GovERNoR HoYTE Of Pennsyl-
vania srurns the idea of eating
crow by identifying himself with the
Stalwart element OF the Republican
party as Stewart and a lew other
Independents have done. HoYrE can
be counted as topper as he has
already declared bis intention to
vote the Democratic ticket, and act
10 the interests of that party here
after. The lying down together of
the lyon and the lamb in Pensyl-
vania Is not being attended by such
results as will allow the party of
moral ideas to rejoice and become
hilarious over the matter.

A Severe Accident.

Peter Fox, for some years an employe
of Kennedy & Kelly, the butchers, met
with very painful and perhaps serious ac-
cident yesterday afternoon, while at work
in the firms slaughter house near the CITY.
Mr.. Fox was drawing the carcass Of 4
heavy beef up by a Windlass having heavy
iron cranks when by an unforeseen slip of
the wrist the crank was allowed to f1y out
of his hand and, Whirling with lightning
speed, struck him terrific blow well up
on the forehead, telling him instantly. He
remained unconscious for some time and it
was not until medical aid was summoned
that he recovered sufficiently to be re-
moved. The wound produced by the blow
is about two inches above the eyes. quite
long and deep and the mans skull is badly
fractured. Just how serious the injuries
arc cannot be told at this writing. Fox
was IN very poor condition to-day, bur
there was no reason to presume his hurt 4
mortal one. The accident seems 10 have
been totally unavoidable. i causes a greaf
deal of uneaslness among friends of the
wounded man, who trust nothing ser;oua
VIII come fit. Mr.. Fox is well known in
the city and highly esteemed by his em-
ployers, who ARE dong all In their mower
alleviate his condition.

NEW YORK, Sept. Sit turns ont that
the steamer Riverdale, the story of whose
explosion was told yesterday, was So years
old. Twelve years ago her hull was re-
built and her name changed to Alexis.
Five years ago she was disposed of at IL
sheritl's sale, and a year after she was
named the Riverdale. Two new boilers
were then put in. She was a wood vessel.
175 feet long, and had two decks, one for
freight and the other for passengers. The
inspectors gave certificate Of inspection
July q last, and certified that the boat was
built in 1871, though she was then an old
boat, the mistake evidently arising from
confonnding the reconstruction of the hull
with the original construction of the yes-
sci. One explosion had before taken place
on her, but fortunately without fatal re-
suits. No steps were taken to raise her
and the owners announce that divers would
not be employed to examine the vessel. If
is believed that salt water was used in the
boilers alternately with fresh water, and
that thesexplosion may have been the re,
suit OF the corrosion of the boiler iron. In
spector General Dumont will make thor
ough investigation of the case. All the
missing persons have been accounted for.
THE VICTIMS.
NEW York, Sept. s The remains OF
Mrs. sisson, killed by the explosion, were
removed to her home in Tarrytown to-day.
The funeral will be delayed few days in
hopes OF the recovery of her husbands
body, whose life was also lost by the dis
aster. The Rev. Mr.. Gardner is still alive.
but sinking. Mate Salair has been taken
home for nursing. Oiler Kenny, who was
badly scalded, is improving.

Something DlsaEreeable Beside
Earthquakes.

ROME, Sept 7.-An article printed in
the Paris Instransigeant by Henri Roch-
fort, abusing King Humbert, has aroused
great indignation throughout Italy. The
article accused the king of having pocket
ed money subscribed by the French for
the Ischia sufferers, while at the same
time he was urging Germany to annihila-
tion. Officers waited upon Rochefort to de-
mand satisfaction for the insult, but
Rochefort refused to grant them hearing.
NAPLES, Sept. AT a meeting Of 4
committee Of Isahia survivors, held in this
city to-day, a resolution was adopted de-
claring they would refuse all proffers of aid
-on the ground that where charity was
offered them in order to serve as pretext
for orinsulting their king, they feel it is their
duty to reject such charity, not only from
France, but from the whole world.

DISEASED CATTLE.
Chicago People Want to Prevent Terrible
Evil.

CHICAGO, February 10. The farmers OF
the country from which Chicago draws her
supply of live ,o,r, ,el, their diseased cat
tie as quickly nr tAey can 10 avoid loss from
their death. They plead In eXtenuation
that they ca nno, be expected TO know the
purpose for which the animals will be used,
and there are many uses TO which
sick or dead animals may be put.
therefore, when the swine plague or hog
cholera attack their stock, or some ailment
appears among their sheep or cattle, they
hasten to accept the best price they can in
duce the stockholders TO pay. The conse.
quence Is that the lame, the sick, the dying
and the dead are sent here to find a market.
The gross neglect Of sanitary measures
which has, in some directions, character
lied the city government, have been
nowhere more apparent than In this matter.
The Board OF Health has made some pre-
tense OF Inspection but OF all the countless
thousands OF diseased animals offered for
food even within the last year, but fraction
have been condemned. No effort has been
made TO strike an effective blow at this viii
lanious traffic and until that shall have been
done half million people will continue to
pay the price OF good beef and pork for the
flesh Of cattle rotten with tuberculosis, and
for the flesh Of swine diving or dead Of the
disgusting swine plague.

II" STOCKS,
Terms Of an Agreement Credited to Jay
Gould and Others.

New YORK, February l0.--Jay Gould Is
credited with telling several persons that
the terms OF 0 settlement Of the Elevated
Railway troubles had been agreed upon,

contract only remained TO consummate the
adjustment. BY the terms announced
New York, or first preferred stock, was
TO be made six per cent cumulative as at

cent cumulative. In addition the Metro
politan was to receive one fourth OF any

Of the surplus, while the remainder was TO

ket was apparent In the heavy advances IN

president Of tho Metropolitan company,
said that no terms had been agreed on and
he did not see how anything could be done
until after the decision Of the court on the
merger.
