In the investigation of the attempt
of the Democrats to steal the seat OF
Lehman, who was elected to the
State Senate from one of the Chicago
districts,it has been shown that sew
eral days after the election, a leading
Democrat had engraved an imita-
ton of the head of the Republican
ticket, and that from this plate spu-
rious tickets containing the Demo-
cratic candidates name were printed,
which were found in the ballot box
when it was opened to be recounted
by the Grand Jury. The man who
engraved the plate identifies and
swears to it, and the man who print
e2 the tickets from the plate identi-
fies them under oath. 1t has thus
been proven that the tickets were
printed after the election, and were
placed in the box-which was In the
custody of a Democratic County
clerk-in the place of others abstract
ed, and two hundred citizens, whom
the tally sheets and numbers on the
ballots purport to show voted them,
came forward and swore that they
did not vote them, but voted the
full Republican ticket. A more helm
Gus crime was never attempted up
on the purity of the ballot box.
This fraud did not contemplate
the mere stealing of the seat of a Re-
publican Senator, it included also
the theft of the seat in the United
States Senate now occupied by Gen
eral Logan, for if the seat of Mr..
Lehman, the Republican State Sena-
tor had been stolen, the Democrats
would have had majority in the
Legislature and would have elected
one of their own kidney to succeed
General Logan. With Mr. Lehman
in the seat to which he was elected
the Legislature is tie, with the APP
pointing power in the hands of a
Republican Governor if it fails to
elect. Isn't this a beautiful begin
ming for a party that in its National
platform declared in favor of a free
ballot and an honest count? Evil

PITTsBURG, Pa, December GA
terrific wind and rain storm passed
over Western Pennsylvania this eve
ming, and, although it lasted but q
short time, great damage was done
to property. In this city telegraph
wires, swinging signs, chimneys, etc
were blown down. One sign four
feet wide and covering the entire top
of a business house on Seventh ave-
nue. was carried away. falling on a
woman named Pfaff and her two
children-Willie, aged 6, and Gertie
3 years old. The boy was killed in
stantly, and the mother and the lit
tie girls were seriously, but, it is
thought, not fatally injured. There
were rumors of accidents in other
parts of the city and in Allegheny,
but nothing definite has yet been re-
ceived. At Greensbnrg, Westmore-
land county, the roof of the Court
House was carried off, but no one
was injured. The wires are down
in all directions and the telegraph
companies experience great difficult
ty in handling business.
New YORK, December GA storm
almost eqnalling a hurricane passed
over the city tonight, lasting
from 8 o'clock until midnight. Trees
were blown down in the parks, signs
were lifted from their fastenings in
many places, chimneys were toppled
over and several glass showcases
were demolished. No accident to
limb was reported.

robbed Of Her Hair and Money.

PrrrsBuRG, Dec. 3.-Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Ruthford lived on a farm
near Petrolia; their house is about
mile and half from the town.
They are engaged in the production
of oil, and have several good wells.
The couple have made money, and
there was report current that they
usually had large sum in the house
Night before last MIR. Ruthford felt
unwell, and fearing that he would
not be able to sleep, decided to pass
the night in shanty near the en-
gine-house where he frequently
watched the wells. Mrs. Rutherford
went with her husband, and contra
ry to bis expectations he was soon
iE a sound sleep. The shanty was
guarded by a large Newfoundland
dog who was silenced for all time by a
dose of poison administered on a
piece of meat by the thieves, who
then entered the shanty. They sat-
urated towel with chloroform, and
bound it over the faces of the couple.
When the husband and wife return
ed to consciousness, it was found
that Mrs. Rutherford's hair had been
cut off close to her head. One
hundred and fifty dollars had been
stolen from the pockets of the coup
lie, although the thieves had over
looked $500 in bills, which were in a
trunk in the bedroom. A search is
being made for the thieves.

gregated Sc, 6,226,959 SO, u decrease,

PIrTsBURG, Dec. "a terrible
sight was revealed to the daughter
of Herman H. Rogge, of No. ia
East-st., Allegheny, as she went to
his room about s A. NJ. to-day. The
dead body of her father was hang
ing by rope attached to a staple in
the ceiling. He was suspended i'm
mediately over the bed. Rogge was
fifty-five years old, with wife and
five children, and had been in bed
some time with broken leg. A
staple was driven into the ceiling
above him, with rope attached to
it. This rope he used to assist him
in moving around in bed, and in
getting mp. He had pulled himself
to an upright position, made moose
or the end of the rope, placed it
around his neck and slowly stran-
gled to death.

PITTsBuRG, Dec S.-A private dis
patch from Baltimore states that
rumor, which seems to be well found
ed. is current in that city that Thorn
as r. Sharpe will be Thomas NJ.
Kings successor as the general
manager of the Pittsburg division of
the Baltimore and Ohio road man
oflong experience and much energy.
In the riots of 1876 he achieved a
reputation in this city for his able
management of railroad affairs as
master of transportation of the main
stem of the Baltimore and Ohio road
together with its branches. 1t is
said by those who are acquainted
with Mr. Sharpe, during his former
connections with the Baltimore and
Ohio road. that he was a little too
lively for the late President Garrett
and that being offered the receiver
ship of the Long Island road, he
promptly accepted it. After this Mr..
Sharpe was elected president of one
of the elevated roads of New York,
and is now connected with some of
the Eastern lines.

BOW He Woke HIM.

GREENsBURG, December "A man
by the name of Meloy had his scalp
nearly torn off to-day at the Latrobe
Paper Mills. 1t appears that
Meloy was taking nap dur
ing the dinner hour. Failing to
wake at the proper time, one of the
other employees started off saying,
"I1l wake him up" He then got
an old gun and loaded it with a
double charge of powder and a
large damp wad. He placed the
gun within two feet of the sleeper,
and, pointing it at the top of his
head, fired. He certainly awakened
Meloy, but in doug SO came near
killing him. The man was terribly
cut about the head by the heavy
wad, a large piece of his scalp being
completely blown off.

Cure for Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by
a sense of weight in the back, ioins
and lower part ofthe abdomen, caus-
ing the patient to suppose he has
some affection of the kidneys or
neighboring organs. At times,
symptoms of indigestion are present,
as fatulency, uneasiness of the stom-
ach, ect. A moisture, like perspira-
ton, producing very disagreeaole
itching, after getting warm, is a COM
mon attendant. Blind, Bleeding and
Itching Piles yield at once to the ap-
plication OF DIR. Bosanko's Pile Rem

Mr.. FoLLET, one of the Democrat
ic members of Congress from Gin
cinnati who was beaten for re-elec-
tion by a majority Of 1900 has had a
commission appointed to investigate
the conduct of the U. S. Marshal
and his deputies at the late election.
No attempt has been made to show
that a single citizen was deprived OF
his vote by reason of the interfer-
ence of the marshals, and no com.
plant has been made in the courts
against any one ofthem. Apparent
ly it was the full and fair vote and
true count that the Marshals secur-
ed, and which resulted in the defeat
of Mr.. Follet, that is bis chief cause
of grievance, and he and his fellow
Democrats have evidently determin-
ed to prevent future like results, by
repeating the law. The Federal
statute under which these marshals
are appointed, was specially design

THE Pittsburgh members of the
Legislature have met and unaui-
mously agreed to support Hon.
James l.. Gresham, of that city for
Speaker Of the House, and the Phila-
delphia members have taken similar
action, and have also unanimously
resolved to push Hon. - Boyer OF
their city for the same position
These two large delegations having
thus assumed antagonistic posi-
tions, the friends of other candidates
feel encouraged to push the fight
for them. Col. Brown of Erie, and
Hon. A. ]. Colborn of this county
are deemed the most formidable o.
the other candidates. Each of them
has host of warm supporters.

More Bad News.

PITTSBURGH, December 4.-The
new mill of Zug & Co. closed down
last night until after the holidays
To-day the employees of the old mill
were notified that work would be
suspended this evening. The reason
assigned for the short notice given
for the sudden stop was the scarcity
of orders. About 1900 men are thus
thrown out of employment for a
month.
The guide and sheet iron depart
ments of Singer, Nimick & Co. $
mill, employing about 100 men, clos
ed down last night indefinitely.
The piece workers in the Key
stone Bridge Company were notified
to-day that their wages will be re-
duced on January l Is per cent. 1t
is prbable that a similar reduction
will be ordered in all of the depart
ments. A 10 per cent reduction in
the wages of the employees of D. r.

Auditor General Niles of this
State has written the Commissioners
of Allegheny County, concerning the
appointment of Mercantile Apprais-
er. He should be a man, saws he !:
"who will work for the interests of
the Commonwealth and see that per-
sons are not improperly assessed,
and who will give the advertisement
to leading papers of the county. and
not form the same for purposes of
gain" This is sound advice, and
General Niles did not intend it for
Allegheny county alone.

WHEN the President appointed
Hugh McCulloch Secretary of the
Treasury, it was merely to fill gap,
caused by the transfer of Secretary
Gresham to another position, and
because he was familiar with the
routine duties of the department
which no other competent person
would undertake to master, during
the few remaining months of this
administration The new, bat tenn
porary Secretary's report ofiiciously
thrusting his free trade views upon a
party whose platform is diametric-
ally opposed to them. is simply evil
dence of his obtuseness and self-suf-
ficiency.

HUNTINGDON, Pa, Dec. 3.-Mord.
McAlevy, chief clerk in the Postoffice
of this city. and James, Joseph and
William Ross, three of the most
noted bear hunters in this section
of the State, had terrible or er.sount-
er with large she bear on onday
afternoon in Diamond Valley, this
county, during which Joseph and
William Ross received Injuries
which will probably prove fatal.
The bear was brought to bay in a
dense thicket of laurel by the hounds
which accompanied the party, and
William, the youngest of the broth
ers, who is only 16 years old, volun-
teered to creep in and drive bruin
out. The lad had gone but short
distance, when the infuriated bear
attacked him, planting her fore-feet
on his breast and tearing the flesh
from his neck and arms. He had
only navy revolver with him,
which proved harmless weapon.
Summoned by the cries OF bis
brother for assistance, Joseph hast
ened to the scene of the bloody en-
counter, when the bear left her
PROSTATE victim and directed her
attention to Joseph. He eInptied
the contents of his rifle into the
bears head, which had but little
effect. The bear caught the young
man around the body and with
a powerful hug almost crushed the
breath from him and broke two of
his ribs. Mr.. McAlevy, coming
up at the critical moment, planted
two balls in the bears heart, killing
it instantly. The injured men were
removed to a neighboring farm
house, where they are lying in a
precarious condition.

Bitten Thirty Years Ago.

MILLERsBURG, Ohio, December 3.

bite was never better shown than in
the case of Mrs. Jane Patterson of
