DARKENED HEADQUARTERS.

Republicans Received the Returns at the
Americas Club and in the Fire Alarm
Tovyer-LittIe Enthnsiam.
The Republican headquarters on Fifth
avenue, were not opened last night. The
Republican leaders were either at the head
quarters in the fire alarm Office or at the
-Americus club rooms, on Wood street, where
the returns were received. The Magee-
Finn people occupied the former, while the
Quay crowd was located at the Americus
Club.
The Americas Club had private wire
direct from Mr.. Quay's residence and re-
ceived the returns from all over the State
and parts OF Ohio, New York, New Jersey
and several other States. The room was
crowded from an early hour, there being
many prominent politicians in and out dur
ing the evening. Colonel 7. NJ. Bayne and.
n. d. W. English sat at a table
surrounded by other members of the club,
who received and announced the returns.
Among the others who dropped in to see
how matters were going, were: Captain G.
c. Hamilton, A. j. Logan, Major Lew
Brown. James S. Mexican, the aSpirant for
the Pittsburg postmastership; James A.
Gilleland, candidate for the same position in
Allegheny; Warden E. S. Wright Wilbur
S. Alling, of the Connecticut Legislature;
Attorney General kirkpatrick, District At
torney Porter, II. II. Bengough and W. r.
Ford.
The returns began to come in shortly after
z 7o'clock, and from the very first indications
pointed to a Johnston victory for District
Attorney. The interest all centered in the
IL, D.. 4Gr-l,4
when Harry Beltzhoovers side of the
column Of figures began to assume rather
large proportions Great surprise was ex-
pressed at the way the Democratic vote ran
in some of the districts.
Mr.. Rowand's apparent defeat was taken
in the best of humor. There was not de-
pressed coUntenance in the room. When a
return was read showing adverse results.
Colonel Bayne would say, with a smile,
something about the irrepressible Republi-
cans. At 8 O'Clock 80 districts had been
heard from. These gave RoWand 2.535
votes; Johnston, 2.731; Mcdowell, 1859:
Beltzhoover, 1,757. A telegram from II. P.
Brown, of Rochester, to Mr.. Boyer stating
that Rochester had given a Republican
majority of 140 the largest vote ever given
any candidate for State Treasurer, was
greeted with cheers.
The members of the club remained until
about IL o'clock, when they assumed that
Mr.. ROwand was defeated and began to de-
sert the headquarters. The Republican can
didate Tor District Attorney did not make
his appearance at the club the entire even
ing. Mr. James S. Mexican, when asked
what he thought of the result, said: ''I can
Only say that will have some bets to paw"
and be Immediately started out to buy Mr..
W. D. Eisner hat. Colonel Bayne laughed
when asked the same question, and said that
the Republicans must have forgotten them
selves and worked for the wrong man.
Shortly after IL o'clock the rooms were en-
tirely deserted. AT that time 6S districts
had been heard from, and the vote stood as
follows: Rowand, 4730; Johnston, 1904;
Mcdowell, 4,75S; Beltzhoover, 3,512.

THE TEST A SUCCESS.
Stockholders Of the New Electric Motor
Company PIensed-The Line Now Being
Onnrntad Svcc...erII,,

Stockholders of the New Electric Motor
Company Plensed-The Line Now Being
Operated Successfully.
The stockholders and officers of the Elec-
tric Railway Construction Company, that
has been for the past week making a test OF
the new McElroy-Nicholson motor system,
of this city, are perfectly satisfied with the
test. A number of them visited the ground
yesterday where the electricians were run
ming the car and found everything to work
smoothly. They are delighted with the
system and say that it will be perfect sue
cess.
For the past week or 10 days, a stranger
strolliDg on West Carson street, Southside,
would have been mystifed by the actions of
a number of men who have been running an
old Citizens line car up the street, and then
again, standing to one side while the car
moved along of its own accord. Now and
then they noticed the car disappear in an
old shed Just west of the Clinton furnace.
The doors would be closed, and peering eyes
excluded.
The car is the one being experimental
with by Mr.. W. j. McElroy. the we'll
known electrician, in the application of the
McElroy- Nicholson system for the distribu-
ton of an electrical current for
the use of street cars. The formation of the
Duquesne Electric Railway Construction
Company, with a capital stock of $500, 900,
to test the new system, was noted in THE
DISPATCH some months ago. A descrip-
tion of the system was also given. Soon
after the company was formed, it rented an
old stable near the Clinton furnace, and
made it the terminus of the experimental
line extending west to the Point bridge.
The line and car is now about complete.
For the past week Mr.. McElroy with num-
Der of assistants have been testing the sys-
tenn. The cars have been run half way
to the bridge by the current, through
the mud and under different condi-
tions. Mr.. McElroy says, that only
a few minor changes are yet to be made to
insure a successful demonstration of the eff
fcacy of the system, Three will be made
by the first of next week. If all goes well
Mr.. McElroy expects them to make public
test of the system.
Over $40, 900 have already been expended
in bringing the invention to perfection and
preparing the practical test. The result,
if as satisfactory as the partial tests and as
successful as its promoters anticipate, will
give to the world motive power that prom
ises to surpass the incomplete storage sys--
tenn.

DELP TROUBLED AGAIN.

showmen Refuse to Vacnte tho AIbemarIe
They Threaten to Sue the Proprietor
-schIosser Between Fires.
Z Messrs. Schlosser and Dellenbach, when
they leased the Albemarle Hotel from s.
Delp, thought that all they had to do was
to step in and take possession, but they were
mistaken so far as one of the storerooms in
the building is concerned. When they at
tempted to take possession of the said store
room they found that Van Essen and
Thomas, museum proprietOrs, had rented the
room from Delp previous to the date Of the
lease. The museum men refused to vacate,
claiming that they had rented the room in
good faith, with the intention of conducting
q museum, and that they had been
put to considerable expense in max
ing improvements, paying salaries, etc.
The museum people say they have no
trouble withiSchlosser and Dellenbach, but
they will not give up the room until they
are reimbursed for their expense. When
that is done they will vacate. They say
that if Delp does not do what they consider
the right thing they will go to law about
the matter. The story, as heard by DIS
PATCH reporter from the lips Of one of the
showmen, is as follows:
van Essen ana InOmaS rented this room
from S. Delp on October 21. There was no
lease made, but the verbal agreement, made
in the presence of two witnesses, gives
the room to US until May 1, 1890. When
this agreement was made we paid Delp $25
to bind the bargain. The rent was to be
S175 per month. and we are ready to pay it
as it is due. We have Delp'sreceipt in full
for the $25 paid him, and when we got that,
we started to make the necessary alterations
toward turning the room into q museum.
Imagine our surprise, then, when Schlosser
and Dellenbach asked US to vacate, saying
that they had leased the room together with
the rest of the building from Delp. We
Immediately went to Delp and offered him
the balance of the rent for the first month,
but he refused to take it. He said that, as
we had no lease, we would have to get out.
This we do not propose to do, unless he
makes us whole on our expenses and returns
the $25 deposit. Wehave placed our side of
the matter before Major Montooth, and if
Delp does not come to terms by tomorrow at
noon, We will bring suit for damages. We
figure that we are 5000 out and if Delp pays
US that amount we will go. We do not wish
to make any money out of the matter, but
we do want what is right"
S. Delp, when seen about the matter, re-
fused to discuss it further than saying that
the museum men would have to go. He
gave no reasons, and it is likely that there
may yet be lively times on Sixth street.

ell, Jr. o. U. A. NJ, at their hall on Fed
eral street, and placed him under arrest.
He will be taken to Butler this morning.

nothing to do with the fight. He heard that
such a man had been hurt, but was innocent
of any participation in the affair.

The reported rivalry between the Young

They are two entirely different societies.
with entirely different objects. Our assoeia-

the Young Mems Christian Association, and

and Travel on the Valley.
For some months past the lady passengers
on the early trains from Bennett to Ale
gheny, ON the West Penn Railroad, have COM
planned about the crowded condition Of the
cars They say the first two or three trains
are composed Of four cars each, which are
insufficient to accommodate the large travel
on the road. They say that when the early
train reaches Bennett there is always q large
crowd Of men waiting to go into town. Be
Iore tne train stops the men Jump aboard
ana monopoiize all the spare seats, leaving
them to stand the entire journey.
A number OF complaints have been made
70 tne conductors, asking them for better
facilities and comfort in travelling between
these points. but apparently they are in
different to their requests. The ladies have
also lodged complaint with the authori-
ties Of the road, asking for an immediate
investigation into the matter. The Bennett
passengers on the West Penn road threaten
to cross the Forty-third street bridge, and
and travel by the Allegheny Valley. They
allege even then they would be In pocket
after paying bridge toll, because the fare on
the latter road is very much cheaper, besides
being more convenient.

ON TIE WHARF PARK.

W. r. Thompson Relates a COnversatIon He
Had With william Thaw.
Mr.. W. R. Thompson says that be knows
nothing of. the alleged offer of William
Thaw to give S2oO, 900 toward beautifying q
park on the condition that Mrs. Schenley
donate the ground. He says further, that
he does not think such a proposition was
made, but that misapprehension exists
somewhere.
Mr.. Thomps states that a couple of
years ago, when the subject Of parks was
discussed by Mr.. Thaw and himself, he sug-
gested to the deceased philanthropist that If
he wished to do something OF the kind he
might build wall either at low or high
water line, or midway between, on the ALLIE
gheny wharf, let the city I'LL the space and
convert it into park; OF, if be felt like
it, he might do the whole
of the work himself. To this
Mr.. Thaw replied that the project might be
surrounded with much difficulty. It might
be said that it would interfere with nsviga-
tion or wharfage and meet with determined
opposition. Some other person at the con-
ference suggested that such project would
meet with opposition in Councils if certain
people were not allowed to grind axes on it.

TIE CYCLORAMA SALE.
No Apparent Foundation Discovernble for
Such n Report.

Having heard rumor to the effect that
Hebrews of Allegheny contemplated buying
the Cyclorama building, picture and all,
with the intention Of turning the structure
into Hebrew theater, DISPATCH re-
porter called on Mr.. G. 3. Logan, one OF
the stockholders OF the Cyclorama Company,
to see if the report was true or not. Mr..
Logan said that he had heard nothing of
any such transaction, but he, for one, would
be willing to sell if the price could be ar
ranged. Major Max Klein, who was seen
with the view of getting the Hebrew side of
the story, denies all knowledge OF any such
purchase. He also thinks that it is not
likely to be made, and that the Hebrews do
not want theater.
