Candidate Mech Keeping His Opponents
Ever on the Hump.
Senator Rutan spent over an hour with
Senator QUAY Saturday evening, and it is
supposed that he discussed political fences
in the Northside Senatorial district. Rumor
has it that Mr. Rutan has been unable to
secure Senator Quay's active assistance in his
canvass, which accounts for the extraordi-
nary exertions he is making in his own be-
half He is hustling vigorously and "sees"
people at all hours of the day and night
His friends say that politician who arrives
at the door of machine shop at $50 in the
morning, in order to converse with en-
ployes before they 20 to work, is in dead
earnest.
Candidate Neeb is no less vigilant, and is
hustling with q big 81. S. r. HARRISON.

rapidity as a compromise candidate, and if
figuring as dark horse" certainly has
some able grooms.

CHAT WITH A BARBER.

Bald. Headed Men, They Sny, Invariably
Have the Toughest Benrds.
Saturday is a busy day for the BARRIERS, ("
remarked one Of the craft yesterday, 'and
on that day we watch the heads of the Gus
toners. If they are bald-headed that is a
sure sign that they have tough boards, and
we always try to avoid them. I have sell
dom known this rule to fail, and why it
should be so has puzzled me. Some BARRIERS
hold that the beard is SO strong that the
strength is drawn out of the hair on the
head to support it, but the theory is hardly
correct.
"You hear men complaining sometimes of
dull razors, but did it ever occur to you that
a razor may be too sharp? This is often the
case, and the blade won't cut as it should
until it is worn down little"

TWO MEN OF ILLINOIS.
Congressman Adams Thinks the Tariff Bill
viii be Pas.ed All Right.

VIII De fasbed AL Right.
On the limited last evening going West
were Congressman George w. Adams and
Luther Latin Mills, the prosecuting attor-
ney in the Cronin case. Mr.. Mills was ac-
companied by his father, and they had been
across the sea for an ocean voyage, taking
one vessel and coming back on another. Mr..
Mills said that in talking with foreigners on
the ships he found them well pleased that
the Worlds Fair Is going to Chicago, and
many of them expressed a desire to see the
exhibition.
Congressman Adams said that for the
next three weeks the House would listen to
nothing but tariff and river and harbor talk.
He thinks the tariff bill will pass in its
entirety. As for the river and harbor
measure he is not so hopeful, and some of
the appropriations will be pruned and some
will 60 under, as they deserve. Mr.. Adams
believes the work will be finished by July l,
when the House will be adjourned.

New Element Entering Into the Congress
sionaI Campaign.
The disclosures in regard to the indorse-
ment Of George Shiras III. by the "Ameri-
can Defense Association" published in
yesterdays DISPATCH, caused great stir
in Allegheny yesterday, and numerous dis
cussions took place. The fight is waxing
warmer, and the friends of the candidates
are massing themselves for hard work.
Another and peculiar phase of the oppo-
sition to Colonel Bayne has developed within
the last few days. A stockholder of the
Monongahela Navigation Company was
conversing With a DISPATCH reporter last
evening, and the conversation turned upon
the Twenty-third district. The gentleman
said: 1--WE are not taking off our coats for
Colonel Bayne. His course in fighting the
navigation company so bitterly in Congress
has been too distasteful to us to be forgot
ten, especially when he is now forced to
fight for a denomination.

CARLISLE FOR THE SENATE.
The Ex-spcaker's Chances for the Vacancy
From Kentucky.


A Kentuckian who cast his first vote for
ex-Speaker Carlisle, a dozen years ago,
but who is now located In this city, was
yesterday asked. who, il his opinion, would
succeed Senator Beck. He replied: "It is
a hard place to fill as capably as Mr.. Beck
filled it, but Mr.. Carlisle would be an ac-
ceptable man. In fact, 1 think the contest
will be between the ex-Speaker and ex-
Governor Proctor Knott.
"You see," he continued, Theodore L.
Hallam, bright Democrat who lives in
Mr.. Carlisle's district, has long wished to
60 to Congress. He is a talented lawyer,
and one of the best speakers in the district.
So his friends-who are legion, and a power
full one, too-wiil doubtless hustle for Car
Isle for Senator to help Hallam into Con-
gress. See? The Democrats of Kentucky
are very proud of Carlisle, and he may be
counted on as a coming Senator if he wishes
to be one."

Insane Man Kills His Father and
Badly Injuries His Mother.

NASHUA, n. IL. July IA frightful
tragedy took place this morning at small
farmhouse at West Wilton, Eve miles from
Wilton village, occupied by Warren Holt,
his wife. Mrs. Elizabeth Bohonon and the
murderer, + Twin Holt. Warren Hols was
sick, and his son sEdwtn, 80 years Of age,
retired last night as well as ever. AT an
early hour he got up aud called for his
mother. and when she entered he com
mencei brutal assault upon her. crushing
her face with blows of terrific force.
She escaped from him and hid herself
while her sis.er ran for help. The sight
of the blood from his mothers wounds
seems to have aroused frenzy in the son,
who rushed to thl sick room of his father,
tore him from the bed and dragged him TO
the fire place. where he caught him by the
throat and dashed him sgsins, the bricks,
pounding his head to jelly. lnfuria,ed.
the insane man, after pounding his fathers
brains out. kicked his head, breaking the
lower Jaw.
In the meantime the neighbors had
been aroused and after desperate battle
with four men, Holt was finally oyerpow-
cred. Ii was the intention of Holt to mur-
der his mother and aunt, Holt is a strong,
muscular farmer and has worked hard for
the past few months. Last Sunday he told
his mother he felt strangely aud thought
something should be done with him before
he harmed other members of the family.
An inquest was deemed unnecessary. The
doctors pronounced Holt insane. Holt
says this morning the house was full of
devils and his father was the ringleader.
He was taken TO the Concord insane sylum
tonight.

the cab with a bundle. which he tossed
csrelessly on the coal in the tender. He
said nothing about its contents until the
train passed Pleasant Bridge. a lakeside re-
sort near here. when he picked it up and
remarked that it contained all that was left
Of hi. Fourth Of july.
Curtis left the bundle undisturbed until
the train was again in full speed. Then he
picked it up and unwinding the paper wrap
per opened it in the sight of Granish. It
held the body of q wee baby. Curtis said
to hi. astoni.hed companion tha, it was his
own and that he was going to haze a qaiet
funeral. Without further ado he opened

hundred and fifth persons collapsed and
precipitated the throng into the water
and causing a loss of life. Five bodies

steamer, Annex, which bad just arrived
from New YORK to the dock.
The outer end of the bridge went down

slipped of into the barbor as though de-
scending slide, pilng on top of each other
shrieking for help, and scramblng for
means of safety. A dozen brave youths
and men lesped to the rescue without wait
ing to throw aside their clothes The
drow ming people were rapidly passed up to
men standing on the wharves, q great ma-
jority of those who fell in being saved from
death.
When the crowd slipped off the landing
stage the people around, numbering some
hundreds. crowded to the sides of the
wharf and threw sticks and boards to the
struggling mass in the water. A number
of life preservers were thrown from a
steamer. Many OF the people were struck
and injured by the flying boards. All the
bodies recovered bear cuts and bruises
Most Of them who fell in were women and
children
Within two hours four bodies hal been
recovered, and up to midnight no other
victims had been found but it is believed
that at least three or for others were lost
Divers are now searching under water for
further victims
