ABB Gang Put to Flight by a Farmers
Daughter.

ABB d Gang Put to Flight by IA Farmers
Daughter.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May ia girl and
shotgun put to fight party of tramps
at Olathe, Kansas, last evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Duffy left their
farm yesterday morning in charge of their
daughter Clara, twenty-three years old,
and her brother, a boy of fourteen. The
house is near the Fort Scott and Gulf
Railroad, along which tramps swarm.
In the evening three rough-looking
men entered the yard and demanded sup
per, threatening dire consequences if
they were refused. Fearing trouble, Miss
Duffy said Wait minute" and run
ming into the house, seized shotgun.
Two of the tramps were already making
away with the boy. While the leader
was coming up the steps into the house a
charge of shot met him, and he ran from
the yard yelling with pain. Without
stopping Miss Duffy fired the remaining
barrel into the other two. The shot took
effect, and she was left, with her brother,
master of the situation.
The tramps came to Olathe, employed
surgeon to dress their wounds, and
hastily disapl cared. They were badly
peppered, only the fneness of the shot
having prevented serious results.

THE PREsBYTERIAN DIFFICULTY.
The Conclusion of the Work Before the
Committee of Investigation.

The Conclusion of the Work Before the
Committee of Investigation.
As stated in Yesterday mornings DEMO
Graf, the committee appointed at the last
session of the Blairsville Presbytery to
inquire into the difficulty in the Preaby.
terian Church here, began that work on
Tuesday evening, but without doing much
adjourned until yesterday morning.
At 8 o'clock the committee met in the
Bible class room. The elders and their
friends were first heard, and then the pas
tor and his friends. The propositions
looking to a settlement of the difficulties
were then considered. At noon the COM
mttee adjourned to meet at 1 o'clock.
Tie afternoon service partook of two
features. A public service was held in
the auditorium of the church, while the
committee held session in one of the
lower rooms. The public service was
peculiar for the earnestness and anxiety as
tee.
Whatever the result may be it would
certainly crafty and encourage the pastor
at the spontaneous expression of love and
confidence expressed by the congregation
for him. Even. the minister who led the
service was so overcome that he was
forced to retire and remarked that in all
his experience he had never witnessed a
greater manifestation Of love from con-
gregatlon toward their pastor
About half past four o'clock the Com
mittee arose, having concluded Their de-
liberation, the result of which Will not be
made known until after they make their
report to PresbYtery. However, sufficient
eaked out that iustifies us in SAYING that
two of the Board of Elders will tender
their designations III the interests of
peace, aud that the majority of the con-
gregatiOn having been fully sustained,
the elements which ledup to the difficulty
will gradually disappear and the church
will enter upon new era of prosperity
and usefulness.

FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS ALONG THE
PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD.

The Conemaugh River Channel. To be
Widened East of the Deep Cut !" So as
to Make the Road-bed Secure From
High Waters.
Just east of bridge No, 6, which Is now
nearly completed, is what is known as
the deep cut Beyond that the river beo
has been changed from the LETT side of
the narrow valley to the light side by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company so as to
avoid the building of two bridges. The
channel between the road.bed and the
bluff has always been very narrow, and
the flood wiped the road-bed out of exis-
tence at that point. 1t was all restored,
however and three tracks were laid upon
it, but during the wigh water OF April 9th
last, one of the tracks was washed away,
and the second endangered. 1t was plain
that there was constant danger unless the
channel were widened. A force of men
was put to work few days ago at cutting
away the trees and brush upon the edge
of the bluff, and yesterday work was
commenced at cutting away the bluff for
the purpose of giving the river cLannel
of sufficient width. A considerable
amount of hard rock will be encountered,
which will make the work difficult.

CoNFLICTING EXPLANATIONS.
Reacons Given for the Postponement of the
Committee Meeting.

| keasOns Given Tor the fOstpOnement Oh tn'
Committee Meeting.
WASHINGTON, May 13.-The postpone
ment of the meeting of the Republicar
National Executive Committee has glveI
rise to considerable gossip and specula.
| ton.
Chairman Quay gives out that this ac
ton was taken owing to the absence oi
Mr.. Clarkson, who has not yet returned
from his fathers funeral, and who, he
says, is an important factor. He asserts
that the committee will hold its sessions
as soon as Mr.. Clarkson returns.
On the other hand it is contended that
Mr.. Quay is afraid to proceed with the
meeting, as he fears row and red-hot
time, owing to the dissatisfaction that
exists among members of the committee
concerning the management of the close
corporation consisting of Quay, Clarkson
and Dudley. That such dissatisfaction
exists is well attested, and there is no
doubt 1t would find an expression if an
opportunity were presented.
Mr.. Quay probably saved bimself deal
of trouble by the postponement of the
meeting of the Executive Committee.
There does not appear to be any question
that President Harrison is trying to un-
load Quay, and rupture within the COM
mittee was quite sure to occur. The ex-
cuse given for the postponement was the
absence of Clarkson, but everybody
knows tnat had nothing to do with lit
was merely to avoid row, and the post
ment was made to time indefinite for Mr..
Quay's personal convenience. He could
not, of course, afford to resign while
under fire, nor could he afford to draw the
fire of members of his own party at this
time, but it is understood to be his inten.
tion to wait until his present troubles
have settled down, and have ceased to be
talked about, and in the fall he will re-
sipn

THE MAYORS VETO POWER.
1t Is Only Check and Cannot stop the
Passage of Measures On Which All the
Councilmen Agree.


Passage of Measures On Which All the
Councilmen Agree.
In view of the fact that many of our
people hold the erroneous opinion that
the Mayor can, by his refusal to approve a
measure, prevent the same from being
passed, we quote from Section Z of Arti-
Gle VI, of the Act of May 90. 1889, Great
ing cities of the third class, which pro-
vides that every ordinance or resolution
which shall have passed both branches of
the Council shall be presented, duly
certified, to the Mayor for approval. If
he approves it he shall sign the same, but
if he shall not approve it he shall return
it, with bis objections, to the branch of
Council wherein it originated, which shall
thereupon reconsider it. If, upon such
reconsideration, two. thirds of the men,
bers elected to each branch shall pass such
ordinance or resolution, it shall become
effective, as though the Mayor had signed
the same.

Newspaper Men May Reune in Johnstown
Tiunac

Newspaper Men May Reune in JOh nstown.
Pittsburgh Times.
The newspaper men of this city who
worked at Johnstown during the disaster
are contemplating holding reunion there
May 31st, the anniversary of the calamity.
A meeting has been called for next Satur-
day afternoon, when the arrangements for
the celebration will te made.
There were probably fifty or sixty ac-
tive workmen in Pittsburgh who
hustled at different times in the Con-
EN- lugh valley during the months of June
and July, and the idea is to have re.
union, and talk over the many trials and
hardships incident to the work of gather
ing news. The reunion will also be the
means of reorganizing the Llmeklin
Club" which lapsed after comfortable
quarters were secured.
1t was suggested that the menu at the
reunion be made up of canned corn, beef,
salt pork, black coffee and crackers, with
embalming fluid " as a stimulant. 1t is
also suggested to carry the iden still
farther, and have a foraging party pro
| cure the edibles.

ARTIFICIAL GAS on 4 LARGE SCALE

A Plant to be Built to Manufacture it for
Private Use in Moxham.
The Johnson Company have in course
of erection in their yards at the Switch
Works what is known as a producer ("
for the manufacture Of gas from the Lima
fuel oil, now used by that Company for
fuel purposes at their works. The gas
will be made by what is known as the
Archer process. The reducer will be To-
Gated near the Rolling Mill office, and
will be connectt with the pipe system of
the town, which since the ructure between
the Johnson Compeny and the Westmore-
and & Cambria Natural Gas Company
some time ago has not been in use. The
people of that section will be very glad If
they again will be supplied with fuel gas.
In fact anyone who has experienced the
convenience of gas fire never willingly
returns to any other means of making
heat.

INNOCENT. BUT IN PRISON.
Perjured Testimony Sent an Innocent Man
to the Penitentiary.

Perured Testimony Sent an Innocent Man
to the Penitentiary.
AUGUSTA, Ca, May 14.-The dying &.
fession of a false witness has give 20 a
Georgian his liberty, of which he las been
deprived for sixteen years, Seventeen
years ago William Starincker was tried in
the court of Burke county for the murder
of Henry Chance. The evidence was
purely circumslantial, and because Star
incker had some trouble with Chance a
short time before he was killed the jury
convicted him, and he was sentenced to
the penitentiary for life. He stoutly de-
MED his guilt.
John Crane on his dying bed, in the
presence of witnesses, last week con-
fessed that he swore falsely against Star
incker, and upon his periured evidence
he was sent to the penitentiary for life.
Governor Gordon, upon receipt of the con-
fession and petition of citizens, yester
day ordered the release of Starincker
from prison, Starincker returned to his
home in Burke county to-day, and re-
ceived hearty welcome from his old ac-
quaintances.
