MAHONE IGNORED.
Virginia Republicans Do Not Rec
ognize His Leadership.
GALL FOR A STATE CONVENTION.

Tho Document Refers to Mr.. Ma
hone as Guilty of an Act of Politi-
cal Treason in Advising Republic
cans 10 Support the Candidates of
Another Party.
WASHINGTON, Sept. II. The MEM
bers of d committee appointed at con-
ference of Virginia Republicans here
have put out call for Republican
state convention to be held at Roanoke
on Oct. l. The document ignores Gen
eral Mahone's craftsmanship of the Re-
publican state committee and refers to
him as being responsible for an act Of
political treason in advising Virginia
Republicans to support the candidates
of another party. Democrats are ar
raigned as the enemies Of the SOUTH
The call advises the holding of county
conventions to select delegates for the
gathefing at Roanoke. The call is
sign ed by Colonel Parsons, Major Nc
Mahon, General J. E. Roller, Colonel
@. q. Tpmpkins, Charles X. Lee, II. l..
Lyman Jacob Yost, G.. E. Bowden and
Major q. e. Hine.
Member of the committee say they
have taken'n steps to depose General
Mahone or his committee They regard
him as having committed that act him
self, and to have practically abandoned
the stale. They have passed no resolu-
tions and taken no action beyond pro-
viding the way to secure on honest ex-
preston of opinion. They do not even
assumetosay what the expression will be.
Said a member of the committee:
"The feeling west of the Blue Ridge
appears to be determined that whatever
orders may come from Petersburg, our
committee can not pass the resolution
that the state is given over to anarchy,
and that we cannot abandon the con-
test, in which we have been steadily
gaining ground for the last ten years
Our party consists principally either Of
laboring men or of men connected with
mines and manufactures. The Office
holders and Office seekers, although
omnip1esent, constitute small proper
ton Of the party itself. ALI the pro-
posed convention is likely to do is to ap-
point a committee to take temporary
charge of affairs until permanent or
ganization can be effected. In the mean
time there is no objection to the present
chairman commanding the forces in re-
latioL thereto. The effort sought to be
made now is to stop the stampede and
save the standards"

According to statement published in q
German monthly the total mileage of rail-
ways on the globe on December 81. 1880,
was sos, 767 kilometers (369, ,S76 miles) an ex-
tent which is equal to fifteen times the
circumference of the earth at the equator,
and exceeds the medium distance of the
moon from the earth by more than 200. goo
kilometers. At the close of the eighth dec
ade Of this century, on December 81, 1879,
the length of the railways open for traffic,
and constructed during the first four dec
ades of the railway age, was S5O,03l kilo-
meters. The increase in the mileage in a
single-the ninth-deeade of the present
century was consequently 245,T31 kilo-
meters. OF the several continents Ameri-
ca has contributed to the 10000 kilome-
ters of railways created from the end OF
1885 to the end of 1889, by far the largest
portion (6a,679 kilometers). A kilometer
is equal to $3.50 feet or about .e2 of a mile.

The People's Party Platform.

GREENsBURG. Pa, Sept. 17.-At the
Peoples party convention yesterday
there We're probably 200 delegates in at
tendance. T. r. Agnew presided. A
resolution was adopted recommending
every citizen to vote as he pleased on
the constitutional convention question.
The platform adopted recommends the
abolition of national banks as banks Of
issue, and the substitution of green
backs for national bank notes; condemns
alien ownership of land, and land hold
ing by railroad companies in excess of
that necessary for their traffic; demands
free and unlimited silver coinage;
equal taxation; graduated income tax;
government control, and il necessary
ownership of railroads and direct vote
from the people for president, vice pres
ident and United States senators. 1t
also recommends that the government
lend money at Q per cent. on real estate
and non -perishable products. The plat
form was adopted, and it was decided to
organize state committee and issue an
address. An attempt was made to cap
ture the convention for Tilden, Demo-
cratic nominee for state treasurer, but
it fell through. No ticket was nomi-
mated and the convention adjourned.

PlPEsToNE, Mimi, Sept. IA duel
with swords took place here yesterday
between Thomas Allerton and James
Arrowsnith, between whose families a
feud of long standing has existed. AS
Miss Arrowsmith was returning from
town last Saturday she met Tom Aller-
ton. AS she passed him he called her
father names. The young lady told her
brother James, and he demanded an
apology. Allerton refused, and q
du was agreed upon for yesterday,
with swords. The fight was of the
most terrific character, and. while both
were cut, it seemed as IL neither
would be able to gain the mastery.
Suddenly Allerton dropped his sword,
when Arrowsmith made savage Iunge,
cleaving the left side OF his opponents
head open. Allerton dropped to the
ground in a heap. Arrowsmith gave
himself up to the sheriff and is retained
in custody, as 1t is not expected that
Allerton will live.

HAzt t4EroN, Pa, Sept. 17.-Patrick
O'Donhel, quarryman, while at work
near ST. Gabriel's cemetery met with q
terrible experience. A heavy storm
came up, and before he could escape it
burst, and he was blinded by sudden
flash OF lightning. At the same time
his right leg underwent tremendous
twist, and before he could lift it from
the ground he went flying through the
air and landed ten or twelve feet away.
He was rendered unconscious, and sus-
tanned burns on his right foot and leg,
which were blackened by the lightning
A small hole was made in the ground,
wherein the lightning ran. O'Donnel 10
60 years old, and not likely to recover.

then VIGOROUSLY unrnly, but he was six
feet high, uncommonly we'll muscled and
a man in mind, and so the downing" was
a sad failure.
He "boarded round" week In each fam
lily among his patrons until times got so
prosperous in 1905 that he received
twenty-five dollars a month salary and
could choose his own boarding house. One
term he had seventy-eight girls and eighty
one boys, and taught all of them with fair
success. Finally he established a private
school in Salem, Mass. and kept it up
twenty-one years. In 1857 he spent n win
ter in Cuba for his health, but resumed
teaching on his return. After filling vari-
Gus positions elsewhere he began teaching
in Manchester IN 1867 and continued till
1882, when he retired from work.
His i,70o pupils are of course scattered
all over America, but the Oldest one, Cap
tain John Carter, lives in Manchester at
the age OF eighty-two. Price has kept a
record of them as far as possible, and f9l
are known to have died. He has been a
member of the Congregational church for
sixty-two years and deacon since 1872,
and has been active in all good work as
well as teaching.

ELIZABETH, N. j., Sept. IA fraud
which had been suspected forsome time
has eliminated in the arrest of Charles
Barholtz. He was the secretary of the
Elizabeth branch of the Beneficial So
ciety of German Machinists. His way
of defrauding the society was to report
members sick and draw their benefits
by forging their names to the checks
which were sent to him for the sup
posed siclS members of the lodge. About
forty members of the society have thus
been defrauded, and the amount EN-.
bezzled is said to be 81 900.

A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION
keystone Bank Affairs Undergoing
a Searching Inquiry.

WASHINGTON, Sept. II. - Secretary
Foster, in speaking relative to the pend,
ing investigation of the affairs OF tho
Keystone National bank, Of Philadsla
phia, said that the impression had got
abroad that the treasury department.
itself was not conducting any inquiry
into the matter The two experts who
were appointed by the treasury depart
ment at the request Of the mayor, he
said, were paid out of the appropriation
made by congress for Investigations os
this character.
That amount had been almost ex-
hausted, but the department had sig
nified its willingness of recommending
to congress the appropriation of an adj
ditional sum to reimburse the people Of
Philadelphia if they advanced the
money to continue the Investigation. AS
matter OF fact, said the secretary, the
department is, of its own accord and
through its own agencies, conducting a
most thorough and searching inquiry
into the hanks affairs. independent Of
all the other Investigations that are be-
ing made.

ed by the Society of Friends to act in con-
junction with the agents appointed by
President Grant to carry out what was
known as the Quaker policy in the case of
the Indians. Upon his death in 1876 his
business was taken up by his son, A. Ii.
Pugh, the subject of our sketch, who had
been engaged for several years as a civil
engineer on the construction of the Pacific
railroad and the mountain roads of Colo
rado and Utah. He has devoted himself
successfully to the development of the
business, and today has one of the best
plants in the Queen City. .-
He has been an active worker in the
national body since its first meeting in
Chicago and is thoroughly in accord with
any movements looking to the betterment
Of his calling. He fully appreciates the
fact that to secure the best results both
the employers and employees must work
together in harmony
