Sir: A good deal has been said about my be
coming candidate for congress- write to say
fiIat, after thinking the matter over have de-
ctded that when the time comes to elect new con
yreSsmcn in Boston 1 will be a candidate on the
Democratic ticket if the nomination is offered to
sne. There are several reasons which have in
.,iiIced me to adopt this course.
In the first place have always supported the
party aud have always voted for it. l am sound
rs far as my political record is concerned and
Ceel that deserve the support Of the party on
that score.
Then L have personal friends and general ad-
nlirers enough in Boston to elect me anyhow.
Any man who doubts my popularity with the
American people has only got to travel about
with me to get rid Of that notion.
Some may critcise my occupation in life.

him fires them with ambition, and encourages
them in The task Of getting up their muscle.

cause my example has set him to work.

Epoch

The transition from long, lingering and
painful sickness to robust health marks an
epoch in the life of the individual. Such a
remarkable event is treasured in the mem
DRY and the agency whereby the good health
has been attained is gratefully blessed.
Hence it is that so much is heard in praise
of Electric Bitters. So many feel they owe
their restoration to health to the use of the
Great Alternative and Tonic. If you are
troubled with any disease of the Kidneys,
Liver or Stomach, of long or short stand
ing you will surely find relief by use of Elec

SULLIVAN ARRESTED,

When tho northbound Louisville and

Thursday morning q crowd OF people surged
around the car tn see John l.. Sullivsn, who
was known TO be On board. rumor soon
obtained circulation that requisiton was in
the hands OF the police, several of whom had
boarded tho car.
Some discussion and finally q struggle
was seen In the car, and an officer reached
over with handouts in hi, hand, and, seiz-
ing the susgsr's arm, pulled him out into
The aisle OF the car. Sullivan resisted.
Aftor brief struggle Sullivan was taken
from the car aud hustled to . carriage. In
the scuilio he drew back to knock down q

Clark would kill him. Tho officers next
grabbed Charley Johnson, OF Brooklyn,

but finally began to cry with pain.
During all this scrimmage Muldoon eat

Clcary, Sullivsn's other second, hid in the
excitement, and another man, named Lynch
jumped of tho train. Only Johnson and
Sullivan were detained, though the others

When the S:i5 n. III. train arrived at Home

were gathered 500 men who had heard that
Carnegie, Phipps & Co. intended to put new

these men would arrive on the train above
mentioned were fully confirmed. on the
train were thirtyfour men of all nstionali-
ties, who had been hired in Pittsburg by Au-
gust Gcisler, 60 to work in the Homestead
mill. When they were noticed in the
cars yell went up from the crowd that star
tied those in the car, and many of them
made rush for the door TO get out. They
were disappointed, however, as the doors
were locked. This only served to intensity
the excitement of the men in the car, and so
great was their fear that -four of them open.

the strikers. One man left his coat in the
train, and says he had tli in money in it.
The coat was telegraphed for but it is doubt
ful if he will ever see his money, After the
four men got out the train
moved on and stopped directly in front
of the works. Here tho doors of the car
were unlocked and the men let out. Some
Of tho more excited strikers began firing
stones at the windows of the passenger car
in which the men were. Seven lights OF
glass were broken. One man was hit above
the eye He received an ugly wound. The
strikers dcplore the action of their men in
stoning the car. They fear this may induce
the railroad company to work against the III
in the strike. The new arrivals had scarcely
reached the ground until they were in the
hands Of the strikers who insisted that they
should not go into the works, After the
train pulled out the men were marched
down the railroad through the town and
warned not to return. All Of them walked
back to Pittsburgh.

midnight, but found ditiicultyin getting a

Two were killed outright while six others,

Traffic was totally stopped and passengers
were transferred. The track was badly torn
