Mr.. Blackburn was 43 years of age and
had been in the drug business at No. 3S8

Things Done for Effect That Make People
Weary-Senator Sherman Returns Home
Some of the Wild and Lurid Stories
Afioat These Days.
Senator Sherman returned home on the
first train yesterday morning. He was we'll
pleased with his reception in Pittsburg, and
hopes to see the Republican party successful.
The local leaders on both sides of the fence
who have been working hard were glad it
was Sunday yesterday, and they spent the
day resting. Many of them remained at
home and few were seen on the streets.
w. j. Bremen was discovered surrounded
by friends at the Central Hotel discussing
the possible effect of his novel campaign
methods.
A story is floating around that the Demo-
Gratis have threatened, if the next House is
Democratic, to knock out John Dalzell, un-
less his majority is more than 5000. The
party feels bitter toward him, so it is
claimed, on account OF his efforts to unseat
some Southern Congressman who came up
to. the House with such a majority, but
went back home, and the other fellow Sc
cured his place. The story is laughed at by
both Democrats and Republicans, and a
Democrat remarked yesterday that things
had come to pretty pass if man who is
fairly elecCeQ is 10 De thrown out because he
has done his duty and the other side doesn't
like it. This rumor only illustrates what
ridiculous stories can be started for cam
paign purposes.
"There is a good deal of cheap talk in
politics" saieo Republican yesterday, as
he looked at a cartoon in paper in which
Pattison is represented as seated in his
chair and turning away one-legged soldier
who was asking him to sign the soldiers
burial bill. THAT cartoon won't gain any
votes. 1t is SO much nonsense. The old
soldiers know why Pattison vetoed the
soldiers burial bill, and they respect him
for his opinions. Just as Pattison has been
denounced for refusing to pardon the miners
in Washington county. 1 heard Sec
retary Watchorn, who was ore of the
men in the case, say that they had done
wrong, and the Governor was right in the
position he assumed. Whether it be Pat
tison or Delamater, 1 think in either case
the people will have good ruler

HAULING HAWKINS DOWN.
Mr.. Hartman Thinks Phillips Will Win the
Congressional Fight.

Congressional Fight.
Henry Hartman, of Beaver Falls, went
East last evening. Mr.. Hartman, like most
other men at present, is more interested
in politics than in the manufacture, of
iron. Concerning his county, he re-
marked: az no feelw sure that T. W.
Phillips will be the next Congressman from
our district. He is gaining in strength
every day. Of course may be preju-
diced observer, but it looks to me that way.
1 was at first afraid that his Independent
fight would result in the election of Dem
ocrat. 1 think that by this time next week
there will be a change in the Senatorial sit
uation. Sam P. White is entitled to the
nomination, and Colonel Hawkins, feel
sure, will retire rather than see Democrat
succeed.
'In talking with the Fit Wayne conduc-
tors to-day, they told ME that the great
crowd at Canton to hear Blaine ate up all
the victuals in the town, and many came
away hungry. 1 tell you, some good fat
American dollars have been put in McKin-
ley's district, and the boys will have Il
feast there, no matter which way the wind
blows If he is elected and the next House
is Democratic, I suppose the Democrats
will make an effort to count him out. In
such close fight there is always show of
reason for the cry of fraud"

AND THE HEATER SOT.
An Unpleasant Predicament, the Result of a
Ball Crank's Absence.


Ball Crank's Absence.
A well-known heater, a member of the
Amalgamated Association, who works in a
Southside mill, related last night rather
funny experience he had during the base
ball season. 1t was when the "ten-thousand-
dollar beauty and his beaneaters were SUI
fering defeat at the hands of the players in
the Exposition Park. The heater walked
into barber's shop on Carson street, be-
tween Fifth and Sixth, to have his Abso-
lom-like locks shorn. A boy was the sole
occupant of the establishment. The heater
was doubtful of what the result might be,
but he resigned himself into the youth's s
hands, requesting close cut.
The boy hustled around, and choosing
the best of a selection of not over-snarp
clippers, began operations. He got on very
we'll for time. but at length unluckily
jammed the clippers III the helter's locks in
such manner as that ne could neither cut
with them nor get them out. He got them
upside down; twisted them to the right, then
to the left; got on stool and secured pur-
chase on the handle by using his customers
head as a iulcrum, but without avail.
Finally, alter wiping the prespiration off his
face with his apron, he gasped out:
"Mister. L can't get it out You'll have

WILL MEET NEXT MONTH.

The Fraternal Congress of the United States
to Sit in Pittsburgh Combination for
State Legislation-Arrangemen for a
Grand Closing Banquet.
Arrangements are now being made for the
holding in Pittsburg of the annual conven-
tion of the National Fraternal Congress of
the United States, November II, IL and ID.
The congress is an amalgamation of the inter-
ests of those representing orders having bene-
fetal and insurance features. 1t was called
into existence by the assaults that were made
on societies of this class by the insurance
companies. Legislation was procured in
some OF the States that was very injurious
to the societies and in order to secure united
action in defense the congress was organ
lied. Its principal work now is watching
State legislation. Altogether it transacts
much other business of a nature that affects
all fraternal organizations that have become
leagued together.
AT the congress to be held here 80 delegates
are expected. They will represent the
Knights and Ladies of Honor, Ancient
Order United Workmen. Royal Arcanum,
knights of Honor. Improved Order of Hep
of Pythias, American Legion of Honor,
Home Circle, United Friends, knights of
Macabee, knights of the Golden Eagle,
Order of the Golden Chain, knights of the
Golden Rule, Equitable Aid Union, Fra
ternal Legion, Order of Chosen Frieuds,
United Order of the Golden Cross and
number of other orders. The Off
GERS OF the congress are: President, ID.
II. Shields, NJ. D., of Hannibal, Mo-;
Vice President, A. r. Savage, of Lewiston,
Me-; Secretary, o. NJ. Shedd, West Pough-
keepsie, n. Y; Treasurer, George Hawkes.,
The headquarters Of the
congress will be at the Monongahela
House and the sessions will probably be
held in the gentlemen parlOr.
The lodges of the knights and Ladies of
Honor of this county have decided to en-
tertain the delegates to the congress and are
arranging for banquet and reception, to be
given in Turner Hall, Forbes avenue. The
affair is in charge of committee consisting
of G. W. Miller, Grand Vice Protector; B.
Goodman, Grand Secretary; Charles
Magel, Grand Trustee; Fred Steckel,
District Grand Protector, of McKeesport;
Peter Kilburg, District Deputy Tor the
Southside: A. P Lange, District Deputy
for the German lodges; David Goodman,
District Deputy of the English lodges, and
Past Protectors Justus Lange, Carl Neubert
and Fred Geist.
The committee has engaged Gernert's
Orchestra. AS tine hall is limited in size it
has been decided that the tickets will not be
issued generally, but only on application to
a member of the committee. All the dele
gates to the congress will be invited to the
affair as the guests of the Knights and
Ladies of Honor. The representatives of
this order in the congress will be Hon. John
j. Milburn, OF Louisville, KY; Oscar
T. Murray, of McMinnville, Tenn.

BISHOP PHELAN COMING.

He Will Take Up His Residence atSt. PauPs
Cathedral-The Canonical Service to be
Said in His Honor-Rumored Changes
Among the Clergy.
The committee appointed to meet Rt. Rev.
Bishop Phelan and escort him to this city,
left last night for New York and expect to
greet the Pittsburg prelate this morning.
The committee consisted of Rev. Fathers
O'Connell, of st. Peters, Allegheny; Cos
grove, ofthe West End, and Molyneaux, OF St
Paul's Cathedral, and Messrs. Thos. Curran,
Christy, Dixon and James McNally. They
will probably leave New York tomorrow
morning for home and arrive in this city in
the evening. It was intended to have a big
demonstration, but the Bishops objections
to display are we'll known and the idea
was abandoned. The only event will be a
religious ceremony at the Cathedral. 1t is
known as the canonical service, and all the
priests that can take part will be present.
The date cannot be fixed until it is known
what time the Bishop will leave New York.
He is on the Arizona and nothing had been
heard from the steamship up until o'clock
last evening.
1t was stated authoritatively at the
Cathedral yesterday that Bishop Phelan
would remove from his house on Sherman
avenue, Allegheny, and take up his place
of abode in the episcopal residence on
Grant street, this city. as soon as he gets
his business in shape, which will be not
later than December 1. For the past
month painters, decorators, carpenters, ETC..
have been fixing up the episcopal resi-
dence, and quarters can be prepared Tor him
at few hours notice. Everything looks
new and fresh about the place, and the
Bishop will no doubt be surprised when he
sees the change. When he moves over to
this side of the river there will
probably be number OF changes
made among the clergy. Father Wall, it is
said, will go to st. Peters to take the
Bishops place as pastor. Father O'ConneH,
of st. Peters, move to the Cathedral with
the Bishop. Father Canevin, who is now
looking after the spiritual wants of the in
mates of penal institutions here, it is also
rumored will go to the Cathedral. Father
Molyneaux, of the Cathedral, who was
offered the new church at Duquesne, it IS
stated, will go to Ebensburg. Among others
to be transferred the name OF Father Neeson,
of st. John the Baptist, is mentioned.

PRAYERS FOR THE DEAD.

A New Feature in the Catholic Church
Inaugurated at st. PauPs-Saturday is a
Holy Day-An Souls Day Will be OBJ
served on November 3.
A new feature in the Catholic Church has
been inaugurated at st. Paul's Cathedral.
When the people entered the church ar the
different masses yesterday thev found in the
pews little mourning envelopes, upon which
was printed: "Memento for All Souls
Day." Opening the envelope, a blank
form with deep black border was found,
requested to write the names of relatives or
friends for whom they wished offered the
holy sacrifice of the mass on All Souls Day,
next Monday. All Souls Day is a day of
prayer instituted by the church in memory
OF all the faithful departed, that by the
prayers of the living they may be freed
from their suffering and given everlasting
rest.
At the high mass service, Rev. Father
Doyle, one of the Paulists, preached. His
subject was "Purgatory," and left deep
impression on his hearers. He called at
tention to the fact that All Souls Day came
almost at the end of the ecclesiastical year,
and it was natural that people should think
of the many souls suffering in purgatory.
He dwelt on the efficacy of prayer, and ad-
vised the people to offer up prayers for the
repose of the souls of those they loved.
Attention was also called to the fact that
next Saturday is All Saints Day, and is a
holy day of obligation. Every Catholic is
required to go to church on that day. All
Souls Day succeeds it, and on account of
falling on Sunday this year it will be OBJ
served on Monday,
Father Doyle preached special sermon
for young people in st. Mary of Mercy
Church at vespers in the evening. He is on
mis- way west from Philadelphia, where a
big mission was held. at which 1000 pledge
signers were secured.

BLACK AND WHITE CREPE.
Pathetic Sight of Two Houses of Death Side
by Side.

by Side.
A sight seldom seen in this city-or any,
where else, for that matter-was presented
to passers-by on Forbes street, on their way
to and from church, yesterday. On that
thoroughfare lives a gentleman whose dauyh-
ter died early in the morning, and futterlng
from the door was piece of white crepe.
Next door resides another gentleman whose
father died on Friday. From the door of
the last named house hung piece of black
crepe, and the two symbols of the presence
of the grim visitor threw a mantle of depres-
sion on the spirits of every person who saw
them. Especially was this the case among
those who knew the romance of the young
lady's life and its sad ending.
Wooed by an ardent young lover, she fed
from home to escape her fathers wrath, and
went to Cumberland, Nd. where she was
married to the son of former Pittsburg
manufacturer, but now a merchant of
Greensburg. The elopement took place
about ten months ago, and after an absence
of two weeks she returned to the city and
took up her abode with her husband in her
mother-in-law's house. She went home to
her parents On a visit, and, her husband
saws, was induced to stay and not go back to
him. Stories were circulated that her hus-
band had ill-used her and refused to pro-
vide for her wants, but they were denied.
She never went back, and about three
months ago she was taken i'll. Several years
ago she had been troubled with st. Vitus'
dance, but Rev. Father Mollinger, of Troy
Hill, cured her. Since her unfortunate ex-
perience of less than year ago she has
dropped and pined, and early yesterday
morning she passed quietly awav.

THE CONGREGATION ALL RIGHT.
No Cause for Alarm Over the Condition oi

No Cause for Alarm Over the Condition of
Pastor Riddles Church.
Rev. j. w. Riddle, pastor of the South
Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, was seen
last evening in regard to the reported diff
entity existing in his congregation. He
said: "There is absolutely nothing
that concerns the public in the
least The congregation never was
in more harmonious condition
and it certainly never had more prosper
Gus year than the last one has been. AS for
my leaving the congregation, 1 do not in
tend to do SO. 1t is true 1 had an offer
from Western church, but am thoroughly
satisfied here, and 1 shall remain for the
present, at least. There is no cause for any
excitement at all, and cannot understand
why people want to create fuss by circu-
lating unfounded reports"
From other members of .he congregation
it was learned that the only difficulty, ii
difficulty it nv be termed, lies in the fact
that couple of members of the congrega-
ton were taken before the deacons to be
disciplined, but the matter has been dis
posed OF, and no further trouble may be ex-
pected.

HIS SAFES ALL SAFE.
Mr.. Barclay Says He Found the PEN

HOPE EXPRESSED FOR PHILLIPS.
W. J. Bremen Will Resume His Musical
Campaign on Wednesday.
CLAP.TRAP In POLITICS CONDEMNED

Pension Agent Barclay returned to Phil
had been in the city to spend Sunday with
his family. He doesn't propose to pay any
attention to Mr.. Raum's notice, and he has
told him so.
Mr.. Barclay said, when asked about the
the situation: "Well, 1 was down at the
Pension Office to-day, and it hash 'trun away.
see the three big safes are still there, for
counted them, to make sure of it. When
they charge that my accounts are
is to examine the books. They are
open to inspection as public property.
1 think am safe in saying that have al
ways been one of the first agents in the
country to file reports, and 1 feel sure the
old soldiers will testify that pay out PEN
sions as soon as receive the money.
'My resignation has not yet been accepted,
and am still the pension agent. Ny chief
clerk is running the office and doing the
work well, as he has done many time be-
fore. L am responsible for everything per-
formed in the Office, and with a bond of
$3.50, 900 filed at Washington, 1 don't think
the Government is in danger of losing any
thing. 1t is not my fault if my resignation
is not accepted.
Replying to the attack made on him by a
Steubenville editor, he said the latter was a
superannuated old fool and didn't know
what he was talking about. Mr.. Barclay
owned stock in the paper at one time and
sold it out. When he did so he remarked
that he would live to see the paper SOLD by
the sheriff.
Mr.. Barclay is very confident of the State.
He thinks the Democratic ticket will win
with a majority of from $4,000 to 40, 900
votes. He will appear on the stump to-day
in Eastern PENNSYLVANIA.
