Westmoreland County Delegation.
ESPECIAL TRLEeRAM TO THE DrsP PArcHi
GREENsBURG, June 8.-The vote polled
at the Republican primary elections on Sat-
urday in this county was remarkably light.
Only about one-third of the districts have
been heard from. ]. W. Sarver, 8. D.
Murphy, DR.. R. B. Hammer and W. N.
Porter are certainly nominated for Assem-
bly,. The County Treasurer is in doubt, but
it is believed that Barnett is the lucky man,
though Best is pushing him hard. 8. W.
Shaw leads for Commissioner. The fight for
second place is between Hugh Henderson
and Sam. Thompson. Lewis Thompson Is
nominated for Register and Recorder.
The delegates to the State Convention are
pledged Montooth men. They are W. H.
Saum, j. j. Wornock, Vandyke, and prob
ably w. N. Jordan. There were IL candi-
dates for delegates, among them three or
four avowed Delamater delegates. The
party leaders, those who fought the battle
last fall, were determined to keep the Della
mater people out, because they say Dalama-
ter refused to help them last fall, and as a
result the county was lost. Colonel Huff
had no opposition for Congress.
The Democratic primary election occurs
next Saturday. The fight waged between
ex-Sheriff Guffy and e1-Sherif Byers for
Congress is growing in interest daily. Guf-
fy seems to have the call. II nominated
Guffy says he will go into the district fight
to win, and Is confident that the Republican
majority of 4. 900 will be wiped out.

Editor sreiger, of Oil City, Mistaken for

Editor steiger, of Oil City, Mistaken for
John L. Sullivan.
Charles H Steiger editor of the OIL City
Derrick, few out beyond his fondest hopes and
ambitions yesterday morning. and for brief
period occupied large corner in the hearts of
the great American public. Strange to relate
he slept through it all, perhaps only dreaming
of being carried on the shoulders of the multi
tude or cheered by bowling mob as the great
est man on earth.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Steiger was passen-
ger en- route from Pittsburg to Oil City. A jok-
ing operator telegraphed the alarming intelli-
gence over the line that John l. Sullivan was
on the train. Large crowds were at every
stopping place ready to greet the champion
and invite him to speak-easy. However. the
great fighter was not to be found.
At East Brady the engine broke down. and
during the stop the brakeman told the crowd
that the hard-hitting BoStonian occupied the
entire rear coach and was sleeping, peacefully
dreaming of how he turned Peter Jackson all
the colnrs of the rainbow. The crowd rushed
to the coach and there saw a man with his tile
tipped on one side of his head comfortably
sleeping the sleep of the just. Men walked on
tip-toe, fearful of disturbing the slumbering
giant, and not a word was spoken, the entire
crowd feasting their eyes on the massive form
of the fighter. As the train pulled out q yell
went up that would do credit to a band of

no longer the great John L., but the peaceful

At his home large crowd was ready to greet

fighter they refused to YELL and Mr.. Steiger
sadly murmured: Alas! Why was not born

THE POSITION OF WOLFE.

That Well Known Independent Leader May
Support the Republican Nominee.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE prspArcH.1
HARRISBURG, June 8.-A prominent
Republican of this city who was closely
associated with Charles 8. Wolfe in the
campaign OF 1881 and 1882, says that from a
talk he had with the gentleman from Union
he was led to believe that he would
support the Republican nominee for
Governor. Mr.. Wolfe said he was q
Republican and could not affiliate
with the Democrats, because he did not be-
lleVe IN the principles Of that party. He
was temperance man and had done all IN
his power for the advancement of the pro-
hlbition movement. and, since its failure, all
that could be done by that party was to see
that the present laws were enforced. Mr..
Wolfe told him that he felt certain that
Wallace would be the Democratic nominee
for Governor and Delamater the Republican
candidate, and that the latter would be
elected by $4,000 majority.
The prominent Republican who had the
interview with Wolfe was asked whether
the Independent Republicans would sup
port Ex-Governor Pattison if he should be
nominated for Governor, to which he re-
piled: "No, indeed. A few might, but
very few. Pattison disappointed the Inde-
pendents by appointing Hon. Lewis C. Cas-
sidy, Of Philadelphis, Attorney General.
All through his term be favored the stall
wart instead OF the independent element. to
whom he owed his election. Had he given
the Attorney -Generalship to an independent
or some other lucrative Office to q member OF
that element, which was then strong and
vigorous, it would feel more favorable to
the candidacy of the Ex-Governor. Patti
SON crushed the Independent movement in
stead of helping to foster it."

The Famou. English Physician,

Sir Erasmus Wilson, in lecture delivered
some little time ago before the Royal Col
lege of Surgeons, London, England, said:
1.-THE Turkish bath is one of the greatest
luxuries of the age; if you resort to it once
you will be sure to go again. In the Turk
ish bath the skin acquires color, freshness,
frmness and elasticity; it loses the muddy
and faded hues of i'll health, and the
parched and arid dryness and wrinkled as
spect of infirmity and age. The inhabitant
of large city would live as healthy i'm
INJURED within his city walls as amid the
fields and meadows of the country. His
bath would be to him in the place of a coun-
try house, or aNhorse-it would give him
air, exercise, freshness, health and life. /"
Ladies should remember that tomorrow
(Tuesday) from A. M. to 2P. M. all the
baths-Turkish, Russian, needle, electric,
private tub and swimming baths-at the
Natatorium, Duquesne way, are open for
ladies and children only. The most expert
lady manipulators in the country, and all
objectidas5le persons rigidly excluded.

TWO FATALITIES RESULT
From a Foraging Expedition Of Northern
Cheyenne Indians.


MILES CITY. MONT, June S.-Frank s.
Carson, q settler on the border of the
Tongue river reservation, has arrived here
with detailed story of the attempted whole
sale killing bya band Of Northern Chey-
ennes. Only short time since about 20
savages stole from the ranch of james s.
Ferguson 5000 or 1000 pounds of
beef, and were carrying it away
when their theft was discovered by
one of Ferguson's cowboys, who gave alarm.
Ranchman Ferguson and about 40 OF his
men gave chase and recovered the meat
Three or four days later Ferguson and six
of his men left the ranch with couple Of
teams and did not return till late In the
night. The Indians watched their move
ments, armed themselves, hid among the
trees along the roadside, and as the ranch
men passed opened fire upon them, with
deadly results. Mr.. Ferguson, who came
here from New Hampshire, and was the
largest stock grower in the valley, was shot
through the left lung and heart and died
almost instantly. One Of the men was shot
in the groin and died the next day, and two
others received serious wounds.
The Indians have since been thoroughly
aroused and the settlers have become so
alarmed that many of them have abandoned
their homes and run away. 1t is learned
from Fort Keogh that the two companies at
Tongue River Agency and Rosebud are con-
sidered sufficient to cope with the recalci-
trant reds, and no more troops will be or
dered out for the present.

STOCKHOLDERS WILL FIGHT
THE PROPOSED SALE OF CHICAGO
sTOcKYARDs TO ENoLISHMEN.

Numerous Rumors Afont Concerning the
Future of the Great Property-The Van.
derbilts Opposed TO Any Transfer -
Chauncey Depew's Opinion.
CHICAGO, June 8,-English syndicate
rumors in the stockyards district continue
to be very numerous. 1t is now said that
number of small stockyards stockholders
will make legal fight against the pro-
posed sale to the English syndicate
There is also rumor that the
purchasers of the Stickney tract of land are
long-headed capitalists who foresee the ultl-
mate removal of the stockyards further from
the heart of the city, and it is predicted the
movement of leading stockholders to unload
the yards on British capitalists is
but forerunner of a movement to establish
these yards. It is said the promoter, Reed,
who first attempted the purchase OF the
Yards, and ultimately bought the Hammond
Packing House, has on hand deal with
the Chicago Packing Company for the
purchase of all the concerns under its con-
troll.
1t is further said that the ground on
which legal fight against the sale OF the
stockyards by the heavy stockholders-the
Vanderbilts and others-will be the decision
of Judge Tuley last week in the Gas Trust
case. The small stockholders in that case
were protected against purchase which
involved the mortgage of their heretofore
unencumbered property.
Anew York dispatch says: "Hon. Chaun-
cey M. Depew said tonight that he believed
that syndicate of English capitalists had
made an offer for the stockyards, and that
the offer had been entertained. It will
make no difference to the railroads con-
trolled by Americans, and in the event of
the Britishers buying the stockyards, they
would be controlled py Americans.

WITH TWO BIG REvOLVERS
A NORTHERN PACIFIC MAIL TRAIN WAS
SUCCESSFULLY HELD UP.

Express Messenger Angevine Saves His
Valuables and Disguises Himself-Not n
Passenger MoIcsted That Remained In
the Car-Ma.k Falls OF One MAN.
ST. PAUL, June S.-The Northern Pacific
east-bound passenger train which arrived
here tonight was robbed by masked men
near New Salem, n. OAK, last night. Two
miles east of New Salem and % miles west
of Mandan the engineer and fireman were
surprised by two masked men climbing over
the tender and ordering the train stopped, at
the end OF big revolvers. The summons was
obeved.
Express Messenger Angevine, hearing a
shot fired forward and suspecting some
thing, hid $500 in money from the safe,
locked the small safe, put out the lights,
and ran back to New Salem. The mailcar
was first tackled by the robbers. Only one
mail agent was in the car and he immedl-
ately obeyed orders by turning over the
mail matter. A number of registered let
ters were rifed and then the two robbers
turned their attention to the express car.
This they found deserted, much to their
chagrin, and mistaking the fireman for the
express messenger, they ordered him at the
point OF the pistol TO open Ine sa!e' Ho
protested that he knew nothing about 1t
and finally satisfied the robbers. Then they
turned back to New Salem.
The express messenger remained incognito,
ard got on the train as it left New Salem.
The passengers were not touched. One put
his head out of the window during the de-
lay, but was told to get his head back, and
bullet whizzed past his head as reminder
that orders had better be obeyed. A posse
of men with the Sheriff, mounted and armed,
left Mandan early this morning on special
train for the scene of the daring robbery.
The robbers compelled Engineer Kilmartin
to break in the door of the postal car. Only
four masked men were seen at any one
time, and suspicious are rife that only two
were engaged in the work. During the
controversy in the mail car the mask fell
from the face of one man, reported to be Of
medium height and build, light hair, and
with several days growth Of light beard.
The district around New Salem is peopled
by quiet, law-abiding settlers. 1t is pre-
sumed to he people unknown in that part
Of the country.

DOGS CAUSED HIS DEATH.
A Colored Mau Receives a Bullet Intended

A Colored Man Receives a Bullet Intended
for Noisy Ours.
WASHINGTON, June S.-William Pow
ell, colored man, lay dead this morning
near the wall of a lodge house opposite one
of the entrances to tue Soldiers Home in
this city. Curled up in one arm was a small
terrier and standing guard over the body of
the dead man was a large hound. His faith
full companions had been the unwitting
cause of his death. Tramp dogs have in
tested the grounds of the Soldiers Home
lately and orders were issued to
shoot them. John Dolan, an old veteran
who acts as watchman at one of the en-
frances, was awakened about 1 o'clock this
morning by the noise of dogs, and securing
an old navy revolver fired it in the direc-
tion of the noise, which Immediately
ceased.
Dolan went to bed again and slept until
awakened by a passerby, who called his at
tention to the dead body outside his window.
The bullet had entered the throat. and death
must have been instantaneous. Powell's
wife was a domestic in the lodge where
Dolan slept, and he had come there to see
her when the noise of one of his dogs
awakened the old watchman. A Coroner's
jury to-day acquitted Dolan.

TOO MANY WILSON'S.
Some Of Them Get Their Votes Recorded on
the Wrong side.

Some Of Them Get Their Votes Recorded on
the Wrong side.
WASHINGTON, June 8.-There are four
Wilson's members of the House OF Repre-
sentatives, and once in a while the presence
of so many persons with a common family
name occasions some slight mistakes in the
record of the proceedings of the House, the
more especially as the Wilson's do not all
owe fealty to the same political party.
An instance of this happened
yesterday in the vote on the
silver bill. Mr.. Wilson, of Missouri,
Democrat, was recorded in the account Civ
ing the yea and nay vote as voting in favor
of the passage of the bill, whereas he voted
against its passage, while Mr.. Wilson, OF
Washington, Republican, was put down
among those opposed to the bill, although
he voted in favor OF it.
The error occurred through the reading
clerk in inadvertently calling the name OF
Mr.. Wilson, of Washington, before that OF
Mr.. Wilson, of Missouri. thus reversing
the order in which their names are placed
on the roll call.

HanlOn and Tener Talk About the Condition
and Prospects of the Players National
League-The Game To- Day.
Manager Hanlon and his all-star combination
arrived in the city yesterday with the prestige
OF having won eight games while on their East
ern trip. This is great record considering the
fact that last years League team, composed
mainly of the players of the present P. L. club
returned after their first trip with the. laurels
of but one scratch game resting on their noble
brow. Manager Hanlon and Secretary Tener
sre both apparently very much pleased at the
condition of P. L. affairs, financially and other
wise. Between them they gave out the follow
ing information last night.
''0ur team is in frst-class shape. We went
East without bit of preliminary practice, and
as q result We did not play winning ball Yet
we gave the public the tull worth of their
money at every exhibition. Look at the Chi
cago team, one of the best in the country. They
lost more games East than We did. Had the
Eastern clubs been West. the result might
have been much different. The home clubs
get plenty of practice, while all the visiting
club secures is 10 minutes just before the
games. Just wait until the Eastern men come
West, and Wen wipe up the earth with
them"
''Say. who owns the Pittsburg National
League Club? We heard down East that the
League had mortgage on the piayers. The
team is just run in here once in a while to
make believe that 1t represents Pittsburg This
1s done to keep the circuit apparently com
plete. The League sends the team wherever
they choose, and it is virtually owned by the
National organization.
'The League has been getting it bad in
