A STARTLING SCHEME.

Kelly, Arthur, Butler, and Dana, to Com
bine to Defeat Cleveland and Eject either
Blaine or Butler---The Details OF the
Combination as Planned.
NV YORE, July 26.-The statement that
General Arthur will soon become the guest
of Geneaal Sharp, in the Catskill Noun
tains, is true. so far as it goes. No reference
is made to the political objests which will
engage Arthur's attention while there. Dur
his soiourn in his retreat General Arthur
and John Kelly will meet to talk over ques-
tons closely related to the Presidential
election.
1t has gone forth that General Arthur
takes little interest in Blaine. Persons with
opportunities for obtaining an inside view
of the administration attitude toward
Blaine know how similar it is to Kelly 5
and that of his followers toward Cleve-
land. Like Kelly, Arthurs feelings are
with Butler. There is plan on foot look
ing to the qualification Of this feelings
scheme originating in the fruitful brain Of
Butler, supported BY Democrats opposition
and influence, and with reference to which
the New York Suns course has for some
time been shaped. AS between Blaine
and Cleveland, the Sun advises Democrats
10 vote for Cleveland, but it is intended
that Democrats as well as Republicans la
boring under similar embarrasSmonts will

ing for Butler and not lose their votes,
either. Whether it will be a coalition be-
tween Butler and Blaine on electoral tickets

of reciprocity and looking to the defeat OF
Cleveland and the election of Butler or
Blaine, according to the conditions previous

A Poverty Stricken Painter Kills Himself
Scientifically.
New York, July 25.-Julus Holweg,
janitor Of large tenement house in this
city, was famous painter in his native
land, Prussia, and an expert sharpshooter
in an east side shooting society here. He
became respondent owing to poverty. Yes
terday, after his wife went down town, he
got up on a chair and stretched a piece
of new telephone wire, with a
spool strung on it, across the
room, and nailed it tight to the
wall Then he took down his hunting gun
and loaded it with heavy charge. The
children Of the ether tenement watched him
from the back ward He tied the gun
down to the table and pushed the table
against the wallunder the mirror. He put
a screw eye in the wall over the mirror,
tied a cord TO the trigger of the gun, ran it
through the screw eve and over the spool
on the telephone wire, and let the end dan
gle over his chair He cooked and capped
the gun, got down his revolverS, poured out
a glass of beer. lit his pipe fat down and
surveyed himself, in the glass
The muzzle of the gun was
foot and half from his breast and pointed
straight at his heart He drank the beer,
put the lighted pipe back into his mouth,
tied the loose end of the dangling twine
around his right hand, and seizing re
volver with each hand fired two 32-cslbre
bullets into his head The pistols fell into
his lap, and his right hand dropped and
jerked the twine over the spools and slight
ly tugged the trigger, but not enough to fire
the gun. His head dropped over his right
shoulder, and the lighted pipe fell into his
lap. The pipe was still smoking when the
tenants of the house, startled by the double
report, rushed in and discovered all the ap.
paratus. Holweg was dead.

The First One of the Kind Known in

CHICAGO, July 26.-The surgeons have
under treatment Mrs. Murphy, twenty
seven years DID, who is suffering from the
horrible disease which affected cattle and is
known as "lamPy jaw" tits in the form
of abcess on her jaw, and it was at first
supposed to be an ordinary case of abcess,
but mirOscropical examination proves the
contrary. The.abcess is found to contain
vegetable parasites identical with those
found in the abScess in cattle. 1t is sup
posed to have been caused by eating meat
from cattle having the disease. An opera
ton will be performed Tuesday and the case
eXcites some interest as it is the first one
reported in the United States, though sim
liar cases have been recorded in Germany.

Political Gossip in New York Concerning
the Democratic Committee Meeting
Lewis Baker Before the National
Committee-Senator Kenna Absent From
the Congressional.
New YORK, July 26.-The Fifth-Avenue
Hotel was wholly deserted by members Of
the Democratic National Committee after
the DAYS business, and those who remained
attracted a good many Democratic visitors.
Committeeman were disinclined to express
themselves on the subject Of Tammanys
absence from the Albany meeting, pleading
ignorance of local politics; but they rested
on the assurance of Hubert 0. Thompson
that full party vote would be cast in the
State for Cleveland. There was some
grumbGng among outsiders, especially
over the reelection of Mr. Barnum to the
Craftsmanship. "Barnum has more dis
qualifications than any man l know, said
an ex-member of the committee. Every
thing he sets out to do is known through
the newspapers 2i hours before he does it.
He has newspaper con6dant who peddlss
it out"
Good Deal of Gossip.
was ahoat about the situation in States
heretofore Democratic which the Repubh-
cans have set out to capture,
Mr. Lewis Baker, member of the Ma
tional Committee from West Virginia, upon
being called upon by the committee said
the Democrats of his State were not di-
yided, as reports of the proceeding of the
State Convention might imply. The con-
vention did reject the man proposed for
chairman by committee, but it was the
result of personal rather than faction feel
ing. He closed by saying that the State
would give Cleveland substantial ma
jonty.
\ motion to adjourn to meet at the Del
avan House, Albany, on Tuesday morning
next was carried. The members of the
National Committee will there meet the
committee appointed By the Chicago Con-
vention
To Notify Gov. Cleveland
of his nomination. The two committees
will call upon the Governor IN body.
The National Committee headquarters
will be at the Hoffman House. The en-
trance to the rooms will be on the Twenty
fifth street side. 1t is also likely that the
State Committee headquarters will be in
the same hotel
The Executive Committe of the Democratic
Congressional Committee
of which Senator German is Chairman, had
a meeting yesterday at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel all the members being present either
IN person or by iproXy except Senator Ken
ma, of West Virginia. After full discus
sion OF the present situation it was resolved
to cooperate aS far as possible with the
National Committee. A conference was
had with the Committee of Seven appointed
at the meeting of the National Committee
in the morning, and it was agreed that the
National Committee should attend exclu-
sively to the national campaign, while the
Congressional Committee should attend to
the Congressional districts. Of these there
are about seventy-eight in the United States
that may be set down as doubtful, and on
these all the energy of the Committee will
be concentrated. Congressman Stevens, of
New York; Murphy, of Iowa, and Rose
Grams, of California, were appointed special
committee to work with the National Com
mittee all through the campaign. The
Committee has its headquarters at Wash
lHgtOn.

of Andrew Rowland, who was locked up in
an iron cage in jail, adds another chapter
to the story OF remarkable prisoner,
About three years ago Rowland killed his
man and escaped He eluded the vigilance
of the officers for over two years, notwith-
standing that he spent most Of his time in
his old haunts. He was finally caught,
however, convicted and sentenced to be
hanged on the 4th Of last April Up to
the day on which the execution was TO have
taken place no move had been made to in
terfere with its due process. Accordingly
next day il was announced in several news
papers that he had been executed, and one
Of them gave a very pathetic death scene.
The fact was that at the very last moment
Rowland's attorney made application for
new trial, and he was given longer lease
Of hfe
The Marray county jail is a twostory
affair. In the second story Rowland was
placed, with other prisoners. One night in
Nav the whole party escaped by rope made
Of strips of the blankets. Aweek later dogs
barking at hay stack on the edge Of town
attracted attention. Huddled up in the
hay stack was found the escaped murderer,
almost starved 10 death and suffering with
broken leg II seems that on the night
when the escape was effected Rowland was
the last to attempt TO slip down the rope
which broke, throwing him TO the ground
and breaking his leg. His companions fed
for their own safety, leaving Rowland to
help himself He crawied into the cellar Of
a house across the street and remained hid
den there until the Sunday night following.
When the family went to church he drag
ged himself up into the house in the hope
Of getting food. He could not reach it
however. and crawled TO the hay stack
where he was found. Having been nursed
back into health, he has q second time made
his escape from jail, and is now at large.
