Bishop Haid, His Old Friend. May be Here
Letters of Sympathy and Praise From
Johnsto wn-Mercy Hospital staff Also
EuIogized Him.
The body of the late DIR. Oldshue was
yesterday removed from the residence of his
mother on the Bluff to his recent home on
Fifth avenue, East End. The funeral SER
vices will be held tomorrow morning in st.
Paul's Cathedral. 1t is expected that the

funeral. The latter will be in charge of
Director Flannery, and the internent will
take place in the new Catholic cemetery in
Hazelwood.
At meeting of the medical staff of
Mercy Hospital yesterday the following
minute was adopted:
We record with profound sorrow the death
of DR.. j. A. Oldshue and desire to acknowledge
the debt of gratitude we owe our late col
league. who so faithfully performed the work
assigned him. Thoroughly self-reliant in every
emergency, always ready to answer the call of
distress vet unpretentious and modest, he went
among us doing good. By his unsullied social
character and his eminent professional ability
he secured an abiding place in the esteem and
gratitude OF WnOle community VINO Ieel anu
mourn his death in the morning Of lifetime
so full of promise.
This hospital, which he loved and served 80
we'll, has sustained an irreparable loss; the
staff has parted with pleasant companion, a
judicious counsellor, an indefatigable worker,
an honorable man.
While paying this tribute to honest work. we
sorrowfully extend our sympathies to his be-
reaved family so sorely afflicted.
Mrs Oldshue yesterday received a tele-
gram of coincidence from Johnstown, signed
BY every physician in that town, all of
whom labored with DR.. Oldshue during the
sad times of last June and July.

ASSAULTED AT HER DOOR,
A Young LadY in LawrencevilIe BruraIly
Beaten by nm Unknown Man.

Young Lady in LawrencevIIIe BrutaIly
Beaten by an Unknown Man.
About midnight of Saturday a young
woman named Lizzie Bennett, domestic
on Main street, Lawrenceville, was the
victim of serious assault. She had been
TO call on friends, and stopped later than
anticipated. On her way home she was fol-
lowed by young man whom she describes
as being smooth faced, and wore light
overcoat. On Main street the man spoke to
her, but desisted on her threat to call a
policeman. As she entered the alleyway
leading to the rear of the house the man
again appeared and grasped hold of her.
A desperate struggle ensued, during which
the girl was beaten about the face in
terrible manner. She screamed for help,
and her cries were answered by the gentle
man in whose house she is employed. The
assailant, hearing him approaching, fed.
Miss Benefits clothing was torn, the
blood was flowing from her nose and numer-
Gus cuts about her face, her right eye was
badly swollen from blow, and there was
cut under the left eye which looked like the
cash of knife. The young woman says
that she would recognize her assailant.

PTTTsB ORG, February 8, 1890.
Patrick Foley, Esq, Chairman Democratic City
DEAR SIR-On February 5, 1890, the
Democratic party, for political purposes
only, publicly made general assertions Of
municipal corruption. This committee the
same day denounced as false those assertions
and through you challenged John II.
Bailey, Democratic nominee for Mayor, TO
the proof of the same by joint debate with
Henry 1. Gourley. You delayed reDlying
until to-day, when was favored with dis
tinct refusal to accept our challenge. The
occasion was eagerly seized upon by you
to reiterate the same charges, manifestly
for the purpose of newspaper publication
only.
Assertions are not proof. What the pub
lie should have Gf any Of your charges are
true) and what we challenged you to pro-
duce, was proof. Your campaign so far has
been confined to opening the sluice gates of
slander-asserting matters not of record and
which you refuse to- substantiate in the
slightest degree. Our charges against your
candidate are taken from the Records Of the
Courts of this county, made by prominent
and responsible citizens under oath. You
having run the full end of your rope thus
early in the campaign, "decline to enter
into a discussion. We on the contrary in
vite, court and challenge free, fair and
public discussion Of the whole matter.
Your letter closes as follows: "We, there
fore, do decline to enter into discussion
which could only lead to a disagreeable and
uncalled-for revelation of acts contrary to
law and justice as performed by parties less
guilty than those public servants whose
actions we are at liberty to question"
We, however, repeat our former challenge,
or if the past is repugnant to you 1--WE have
no desire to shield dishonest oficers) will
debate with your candidate through our
candidate on any issue, past, present or
future, relating to our city and its govern
ment. Do you accept?
Respectfully yours.

Chairman.

A SOCIAL SESSION.

A Splendid Programme Presented Last
to Its Guesis-UnusuaI Excellence of
the Musical Numbers.
The Pittsburg Lodge of Elks last night
held social session at their rooms on Fourth
avenue. 1t was for members and profes-
sionals only" The programme was the
finest of the social sessions held during the
present season. Among the guests of the
lodge were: Frank Brunell, Secretary of the
Brotherhood of Baseball Players; Mr..
Fields, of Hyde's Specially Company;
Messrs. Morris and Mccarthy, of Hamlin's S
Farce Comedy Company; Manager E. D.
Wilt, of the Grand Opera House, and Man.
ager Harry Scott, of the Worlds Museum.
Mr.. Fred Carroll, the ball player, acted as
policeman, and performed his duties with
promptness and thoroughness, although he
himself several times fell under the dis
pleasure of the Chairman.
Mr.. s. G. Freeman, acted as autocrat,
and the Gar, had he witnessed his perform
ances, would have died with envy. The
social committee was composed of John
Wamser, John Locklin, W. Lee, Ed.
Swartwood and D. LAUDER. No person
had cause to complain Of their attention to
business.
Music was furnished by Peter A.
Schwartz's Grand Opera House Orchestra
and the Mandolin Troubadours. The Or
chestra furnished 18 pieces and the Trouba-
dours Z pieces. Henry P. Ecker was the
accompanist.
After the overture by the orchestra the
lodge quartet sang a medley which called
for an encore The Troubadours were most
enthusiastically received. their music being
greatly admired. Frank Young, of the
Casino, was compelled to repeat his recita-
tion. Prof. George Gill sang an Italian
selection in so beautiful and we'll trained q
voice that he was compelled to respond with
a melodious love song, which narrowly es-
capped a second encore. After a fantasie by
the orchestra Mr.. Richardson, member Of
the New Haven, Conn.,, lodge, gave a Ger
man dialect recitation. As an encore he
recited colored preachers apology for q
prayer. Mr.. Ecker rendered piano solo,
Further selections by the orchestra, Trouba-
dours and quartet closed an enjoyable even
ing. At II o'clock the Elks' toast was
drunk standing. There will be one more
open session of the lodge before their annual
benefit next month.
Stuart Robson was expected last evening,
but did not reach the city in time.
