IN FAVOR OF HARMONY.
The New Republican County Committee %

The New Republican County Cemmitfee %
be MINED safurdny-Bsrh . Factions
United and No Trouble Feared.
The committee of nine of the Allegheny
County Republican Committee will meet
tomorrow afternoon to examine the lists OF
representatives appointed for the different
precincts, and prepare report to the gem
eral body, which will meet on Saturday
afternoon. There are 250 places to fill un-
der the new rule, and one representative
from each district has been at work for over
represented districts. This will increase
the membership of the Republican County
Committee from so to $780,
The new list has rot yet been completed,
but there seems to be a disposition on the
part of all the members for harmony, and
the bitter fight of few weeks ago, when
Quay" and "Magee" delegates were set up,
will not likely be repeated as all the members
seem to be working in the interest of the Re-
publican party in the county without regard
to faetioual fights. One member from each
district has the power to fill out the unrepre-
sented precincts in his district, but the ma
jority of the subcommittee may object to the
appointment Of some of the men and their re-
port may be reversed by the general committee
at the meeting on Saturday
As the "Magee'' faction, as il has been
called, is IN the majority, the committee may
make some material changes in the lists pre-
pared but several leading members who were
spoken to last evening do not anticipate any
trouble. Both sides want harmony, and there
will undoubtedly be harmony.
One of the important announcements that
will be made at the meeting of the general
body will be the appointment of a campaign
committee of nine. Chairman Porter has the
power to appoint, and, when he was seen
last evening, said: II have not conn
pleted the list and so far have made only two
appointments. will not make the others un-
til have consulted with the members of the
committee. We must have a good campaign
and will be very careful in my se-
lection. as we do not want any trouble in the
party. and all must pull together. / have APP
pointed Colonel Thomas NJ. Bayne and Will
lam Finn. The other seven will be appointed
on Saturday"

business, and with his family lived in retire
ment until his death. In Armstrong county

for many years was one of the most influential
features, not only in his own county, but in
Western Pennsylvania politics. He was q gen.
tleman OF wide and varied information, most
engaging conversationalist and a clear, incisive
writer on subjects to which he had given any
attention.

hold Bank, and several daughters, one of them

disaster. As it was, the trains met on a con-
siderable curve, the ground on each side be-
ing densely wooded, and the foliage OBJ
structing the view.
The trains came together about 200 yards
this side of the bridge, and though some
half dozen men were injured, one of them
possibly fatally, the wreck did not amount to
much, and the track was
CLEARED IN A COUPLE OF HOURS.
Passengers on the outgoing $50 P. M train
could not go, as there were no working loco
motives this side of the bridge. Mr.. and Mrs.
DIR. Ramsey were on their way to their country
seat and they footed it, apparently none the
worse for wear except that they we're consider
ably heated.
The report that the trains had gone over the
bridge drew Large conconrse of people. No
one seemed able to explain why the trains col
Hded, or who was responsible therefor.
The injured were John Seibel. passenger
conductor, serving on the gravel train yester-
day, and who lives at Castle Shannon: Henry
Heuther, an engineer residence Refectorville;
John Kunkle, who lives at the same place, and
some Italian laborers whose names could not
be learned, though one was said to be Delum.
The orthography may be off, as no one seemed
to know how to spell the name. One known as
No. Ii
WAS HURT INTERNALLY,
possibly fatally. He was taken to the Homeo-
pathic Hospital Some said his name was
Delun, and others said It wasn't. He was too
badly hurt to tell IL. Heuther had his ankle
broken.
By7 o'clock the road was clear. but there was
so much Generalization that no business was
being done. OFF toward Castle Shannon there
was much whistling of locomotives, but the Of
fcials of the road didn't seem to know when
schedule time would be resumed.
High Bridge Is about three miles from the
city, about half way to Castle Shannon. Some
IA years ago there was another bridge crossing
Sawmill run, starting at an acute angle from
the north end of the present bridge. That
bridge has been taken down. at the time men,
toned train of coal cars jumped the old struc-
ture and dropped sheer lN feet Two brothers
were crushed to pulp in that accident.

Brewed No Moro Forever.

Brewed No Mor9 Forever.
The brewery which was Jun by the monks of
st. Vincent's College at Beatty, Pa, and which
has been closed for some time, is not to be put
in operation again. in spite Of the popular de-
feat of prohibition. according to the statement
of one Of party connected with it. He stated
that they did not apply fer a license at the last
license term of court. BE further stated that
they had had the matter of closing it up under
consideration for several years past. The pro-
hibitory election. he stated, had nothing what
ever to do with the stopping of the brewery.
When questioned as to their reason for clos
ing, he said the Benedictine monks had arrived
at the conclusion that it is not just the kind of
thing to run in connection with a college, but
not that it was detrimental to the morals of the
faculty or students of the college.
According to his Statement they never made
beer for the market. but just sold what they
had no use for themselves. He was asked il
the cause of cl0sing down had in any way
sprung from the fact, as 1t has been reported,
that it was mott financial success. He EN-.
phatically denied the report.
When asked1 what they intended to use the
buildings for iN the future, he said he could not
tell, but thought they would be put to some
good use.

Chancellor Gof Disappointed in the Coast
and Geodctic Survey Appointment.
Chancellor Gof was seen by a DISPATCH
reporter last evening and said that he of course
was somewhat disappointed at not receiving
the appointment from the President of the
Superintendency of the Coast and Geodetic
Survey; but it would make no difference in
any Of his arrangements. He said that the ap-
pointment Of Mr.. Thomas G. Mendenhall, Of
Terre Haute, to the position was probably be-
cause he had a more intimate acquaintance
with the President and lives near his home
He has been connected with the Rose Poly
technic Institute, of Terre Haute, for some
time. SO that he is in the same line of study as
the Chancellor.
The Chancellor's petition to the President
for the position, gotten up by his friends, was
ent man in this section; but, Notwithstanding
this. the President gave the position to Mr..

Yesterday was hotter than the day before,
and the consumption of beverages was enor-

as little moving as possible. The thermometer
ranged in the vicinity of $40, but the breeze
otherwise would have been. Men in mills sue

THE INJUNCTION GRANTED.

An Important Addendum Setting the Wire
Suit Right.
The statement recently published in these
columns and credited to the Cleveland Plain
dealer was, it seems, erroneous in one import
ant particular. Speaking of that article, bear
ing upon the suit of Henry Roberts and others
against the American Wire Company, Mr..
George T. Oliver, of this city, says:
This article was evidently inspired by the de-
PENDANTS, and is calculated to mslead the public
It states plainly that in the late argument the de-
PENDANTS succeeded sin killing all efforts secure
an injunction" whereas, in reality, the Court
granted the Injunction, as will be seen from a
clipping from the Nashville american, published
the day after the argument of the case before
Judge jackson at Nashville.

sition Grounds.
The United States Tin Plate Company whose
works are at Demmler station, on the Baltj.
more and Ohio Railroad, have secured the
right and will shortly begin the erection of
big tin plate plant on the Exposition groun ds.
There are no tin plate WORKS in this country
and there have been none since the tariff was
removed The idea is to show the visitors to the
Exposition that as fine machinery and as fine a
product can be turned out in this country as in
the old world.
If duty is placed on tin plates and factories
are built in this country millions of dollars that
go across the water every year will be circu-
lated in the United States. Mr. Cronemeyer
Chairman of the United States Tin Plate Com,
pany, is confident that the Senate tariff bill
will go through all right, and English tin plates
will be shut out entirely.
The plans for the plant to be erected on the
Exposition grounds have been drawn up. and
the machinery is now being made. A complete
description of the plant will be given in q few
days.

LEWIS AND HIS VICTIMS.
Story of HIS Jealousy Told at the Coro.
ner's Inquest.

The Coroner's inquest on the Arthur street
tragedy was held Yesterday. DR.. George s.
Turfiey testified that death had been caused in
all the cases by pistol wounds. William Steel
testified that Lewis came to witness shop the
morning before the murder, and complained of
being sick. In speaking of Mrs Moseby and
her sister, Lewis said he could not get along
with them, and would be obliged to move away
Lewis was angry at Mrs. Moseby because she
would not marry him, and blamed her sister
for using her influence against him. The ver-
dict was the only one that could be nationally
rendered in such a case. The affair has caused
a deep sensation among the colored people
of the neighborhood, as the victims of Lewis
Jealousy stood well in the vicinity.
