FRIENDS OF GRAHAM
Vow They Will Run Him for the
Legislature Without His Consent.
WHY THE VETERAN PULLED OUT.
The Latest Phase of the Contest for the
Collectorship.
A NEW CANDIDATE OUT FOR CONGRESS-

The friends of James L. Graham. of ALLIE
gheny, are not content to have him retired
under fire and will organize to push him
forward for reelection. The Senator has
not placed himself in the hands of his
friends, but his name will be before the
people just the same. Among the leaders
who are insisting on making Mr.. Graham a
candidate is ex-Councilman Hartman. of
Woods Run. In speaking Of the move
yesterday, he said:
cit would be an outrage to retire Senator
Graham now simply because lot of politi-
clans have entered the field, and he cannot
consistently make the kind of a canvass that
they will make. The good people OF ALLIE
gheny insist that he shall be a candidate,
and they will see that he will be elected
without a single act Of his own. Graham
for many years has been elected without
opposition, and rather than enter contest
now he has withdrawn. This is not fair to
Allegheny, however. Mr. Graham has been
one of the best representatives at Harris
burg, and can care for our interests better
than any other man. He is respected by
every member of the Legislature, and have
noticed while there at times during past
sessions, that he gets about whatever he
asks for.
'Tt is not question of who will be
elected United States Senator. That is a
secondary matter, and am willing to sup
port Mr.. Graham without him being
pledged to any one man and then let him
vote as he sees fit. 1t would be public
disgrace if Allegheny would not return the
Father of the House to the seat he has
filled so faithfully, and I can assure you
that we are not so ungrateful. There is a
reelected, and in a few days it will be got
in working condition.

THE SANITY OF JOHN WOODS
An Inquiry Upon Which Depends the Cor

An Inquiry Upon Which depends the Con-
troll of Valuable Property.
A hearing in the case of William Woods
versus John Woods, an inquiry as to the
state of mind of the latter. was again be-
gun before Commissioner McClay, and
Judge Fetterman, for the petitioner, was
confronted by Messers j. S. Ferguson, X.
@. Bigham and n. W.. Shafer. There was
much trouble experienced in getting the
jury together, and then it was developed
that the old gentleman had decided
that the weather was too cold
and that if they wanted to know anything
about him and his mind they might come
and see him at DR.. McCormick's residence,
on Mt. Washington. AS Judge Fetterman
had witness he wanted heard, it was
agreed by counsel to hear him. 1t was also
agreed to save time and expense to allow
the testimony taken by Mr.. McClay on
his first appointment to court after being
read to the jury and the hearing began.
Henry Schroth, of Bethel township, testi-
fed that he lived on the farm of John
Woods, the respondent. Schroth said he
rented the farm from DR.. Mccormick,
bought the personal property from him and
paid him the rent, and that he, witness, bad

ness did all his dealing with DR.. McCor-
mick.
J. S. Ferguson cross-examined witness,
who said his lease was signed by Woods
alone. The farm is 10 or II miles from
where John Woods lived on Mt. Washing
ton. The receipts are signed by Woods, per
DR.. Mccormick The bill of sale of per-
sonal property was signed bv John Woods
1t was decided that as the weather was
uncertain and the old gentleman's health
precarious that the next meeting would be
at the residence of DR.. Mccormick, on Mt.
Washington.

Street.
E. Maginn. proprietor of the Excelsior
Cracker Works, and wholesale dealer in
confectionery, fruit, etc., is now occupy
ing his new block, Nos. 913 and 915 Lib

his former quarters destroyed by fire.
The building, which is eight stories in
height, has handsome stone 'front.' set off
by numerous attractive signs and presents
an alluring appearance The interior is
finished in natural wood with tastefully
frescoed metallic ceilings, from which are
suspended ornamental brass chandeliers,
adapted to both gas and electricity, the lat

ment Indeed the block, as a whole, is one
of the finest in Pittsburg.
The ample room thus afforded by the oc-
cupancy of these new quarters-in addition
to their factory, Z. s, and 10 Church ave-
nue-store so Federal street, Allegheny,
will place the firm in better condition than
ever to handle their large and increasing
business. Mr.. Maginn first established his
business in 1857, and since then its growth
has been q remarkable one. Their trade not
only extends throughout this State but over
Ohio, West Virginia and Maryland as well.
Confectionery, crackers, cakes and such
palatable table delicacies as oranges. figs.
dates, foreign nuts and fine table raisins
comprise the major part of the goods
handled. A visit to their store at this sea-
son of the year will reveal the fact that
their assortment, which also comprises a
large line of Christmas tree ornaments and
many novelties in fancy candy cases, is un-
usually complete.
The immense business which the firm is
doing fully attests to the marked degree Of
popularity in which Mr.. Maginn and his
associates are held by the trade.

by the Historical Society.
The Historical Society of Western Penn
sylvania met last evening in Carnegie Hall,
Allegheny. Daniel Johnston presided.

titled ''The Oil Fields of Western Penn

description Of the locality and productive
capacity OF the fields since their openinc
and conelud ed with general review Of the
fields in the Western part of the State and
of the progress made in their development.
Rev. M. d. Lichliter read a paper en-
titled "Chartiers Valley, Its Characters
and Landmarks" The paper showed a
history of the first cabin erected in the val
ley in 1870 by Peter CHARTERS, to its subse
quent development. The evidence in
history. according to the paper, showed that
the valley owed its name to CHARTERS, but
whose name was at that time spelled Schar-
tiers, a name of French extraction.
Miss Jennie Lambing and Postmaster
James s. Mexican were elected members of
the society. An appropriate minute was
offered on the death of Mr.. w. Miller,
