HAVE AN INTERESTING TIME.
Tho Delegates from the Western

with Schemes Which do not
Please All the Westerners.

The delegates and candidates who are
to take part in the Republican conven-

commenced to arrive on the ground last
night. Quite a number Of political
hustlers from the eastern townships
were among those who got in, and they
at once began earnest work on the dele
gates from the townships along the
river. The Warren township Barnes
ville) delegation arrived in Bellaire early
in the evening, In a little while they
had formulated a scheme to drop their
man, MI, Kelly, for Treasurer, and
throw their strength to Mr., Archer, Of
Bellaire, provided ArCher's friends would
r%eciprocale by working for W, S, Smith,
OF Warren township, for Clerk OF Courts.
Smith is a dark horse who has made no
very strong canvas. Whether or not the
proposition was accepted could not be

GER man that a meeting OF the Warren
and Pultney township delegates had been
held and the following slate formulated;
Clerk, John Rose.

This Warren man seemed, however,

proceeded to advise that the slate be
thoroughly broken. lie did not want
much, but he thought Smith should be
made clerk and Kelly, another Warren

There are schemes afoot, and it is a

nipper chains and whistles for each man
on the force, some new handouts and
some lanterns. The officers frequently
have occasion to use lanterns, but up to
this time the Department has never had

new pattern and their sound will be
readily distinguished from those used by
the wheelmen, which of late have fire.

Large Audience.
The Grand Opera House opened its
season last night with Ullie Akerstrom
as the attraction in Annette, the Dane
ing Girl" written by herself, She is an
exceedingly clever and versatile little
lady, and to say she was warmly re-
ceived does not half express 1t. The
house was crowded to the doors upstairs
and down, and the new Haines family
orchestra shared the honors with the
company. 1t Is a very liue musical or.
%ganization. Miss AkerstrOm dances
well, ~recitcs well, acts well and dresses
well. The opening was exceedingly
promising, both for her and for the
house.
Manager Genther has had the house
frightened up considerably, and had
electric lights put in, which illuminate
the place more satisfactorily than it has
been heretofore. He was very much
gratifed over the large attendance on
such a warm night as last night was, and
the enthusiastic manner In which his
new pedestrian the star were greeted.
The same bill will be repeated this even.

Hon. John McD OoweII, Of Penn
syIyania, While in the City,
ENTERTAINMENT
ofthe Foreign Devices that r Re-
sorted to to Cheat the Govern.
mcnt and the Home Pro-
ducers by False Entry.

Hon, John Mcdowell, President otthe
Pennsylvania Wool.G Growers AssoCia-
ton, was in the city yesterday, leaving
in the afternoon for Pittsburgh, where a
meeting OF the ssociation is to be held
to-day. Among the objects Of the meet
ing is to take action on the false entry
Of m%erchantable wool as ring waste,
being in fact no waste at all, but wool
worth sixty cents u pound, This com.
modify cheats the Government out OF
its due revenue and comes into direct
competition with American wool, Mr..
Mcdowell thus explains this matter OF
importance TO Wool'growers;
I'm order to deceive the American ap'
p%raisers the secured wool in little rings
Is mixed with say 10 per cent OF leglti-
mate waste so that even an expert can.
not tell the difference between the wool
and the waste. This sort OF doCtoring Is
now being done to a great extent In
France, with the view 10 avoiding the
secured wool duty, Ihave good reason,
how ever, to believe that the Govern.
ment will grapple with this matter Just
as It has with others, and will arrive at u
similar conclusion. 1t is determined to
exclude everything as waste when the
evidence is sufficient to show that 1t ia
manufactured as such to avoid the legiti'
mate duty. In other words the Govern
ment bus made up its mind to close up
all the lOOpholes to fraud, Moreover,
under the present Administration it will
be no longer possible to reship to Eu-
rope, waste that has been refused admis-
slou ut less than sixty cents per pound
and haveItRdmitted d. al anotherAmeriCan
port at ten cents per pound, Us was the
case under Cleveland, The attitude Of
the Government iu this matter is highly
satisfactory to the wool dealers OF this
country"
