The JudIcIaI contest. .

The judicial conference was in session for
thEee days last week, at Bedford, without sc-
complishing anything. At Thursday sfer-
moons session Capt. Sanner offered the fol
lowing resolution
Iussnuch as this judicial conference has
met repeatedly during the past ninety days,
and no satisfactory result has been attained,
or likely 10 be attained therefore be it
Resotued, That The conference adjourn sinS
This resolution was the occasion Of an an
imated discussion, and wss finally laid
upon the table.
Subsequently Mr.. Longenecker wrote TO
Mr.. Kooser, proposing that The matter of a
nomination be referred to the two members
Of the State Committee from Somerset and
Bedford counties. together With State Chair
man Watres, and that they be requested 10
name the candidate. To this proposition
Mr. KOoser replied that such action on the
part Of the candidates would be breach of
the party rules, and that snch committee
could not know the demands of the district.
Mr.. Longenecker then proposed thai both
he and Mr. Kooser withdraw from the con-
test, and that each Of them name three law
yers from tbs bars of their respective coun-
ties and from these six a candidate to be
selected on this plan:
1t shall be determined by lot or otherwise
which set OF conferees shall first strike of
name, after which they shall strike of al
ternately until but one name is len, and the
person whose name remains shall be pre-
sented by the conference as the candidate OF
the party in the district.
This proposition was also rejected, on the
ground that the conference would exceed its
poEers in making nomination in such
manner and for the further reason that it
was not believed that any lawyer of the
district would accept nomination SO OBJ
tanned.
The conference re-convened at the Somer-
set House, Monday evening, and after re-
manning in session for several hours, ad-
journed to meet at 10 a. m. Tuesday. No
nomination has been made up to the time Of
going TO press.

VIC. T.U. LADIES POISONED.

SENSATION AT BRADFORD ATTENDING TIE STATE
CONVENTION.
The State Convention Of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union was in session
at Bradford. A little after noon Friday the
delegates gathered in Armory Hall, where
they had been invited to dinner given by
the Ladies' Committee Of the city. The
dinner had been prepared especially by Mrs.
Washburne. On the bill Of fare coffee,
grapes, and cold meats occupied conspicuous
places, and the sole idea to-day is to find
which one Of these delicaties contained a
poison which made nearly half a hundred
Of the ladies deathly i'll.
At the afternoon session everything went
along well for an hour or more, when near
" fifty or more Of the delegates suddenly
rose in their seats, and, whitefaced and
weak, tottered out of the building. First
one and then another hastily rose, and after
the first haIf-dozen had left the room re-
markable scene followed. By twos and
threes, and then by the dozens, the delegates
actually ran from the room, creating pro-
found sensation. Many delegates and eiti-
zens, attracted by the unusual scene gather
ed about the sufferers inside and outside the
church, and offered what assistance they
could
Every physician in the city was called
upon. and the basement of the large Presby-
terian Church was made into a temporary
hospital, to which party Of forty ladies
were taken, and as soon aflerward as posi-
BILE the sufferers were taken to private houses
where they could each receive special care.
All showed the same symptoms.
1t was evident that the poison had been
partaken Of at the dinner, as only those
present who had eaten heartily we're affected.
Some writhed in agony, while others were
merely sick at the stomach, and all vomit-
ed, generally before they were able to leave
the church.
Several of the ladies were very seriously
sick Friday night but the majority had re-
covered, and some were able to be present at
the Convention. II is not thought that any
will die.
Investigation 50 far iustifes the theory
that the cause ofthe sickness is attributable
to the food used at the dinner table. Wheth-
er or not poison had been placed in this food
is matter to be learned on later investiga-
ton.
The cause Of the poisoning has since been
attributed to pressed chicken that had been
boiled in a new copper kettle.

Narrow Esoaps From Death.

Fred. Border had narrow escape from
death at Bethel yesterday. Early in the day
be had driven to yohnstosn, returning to
Bethel sbout 4 O'Clock. Shortly sfier that
hour be started with his horse and wagon 10
a corn-6eld below the Baltimore & Ohio
track. Just as he reached the crossing, the
approach TO which prevents one from seeing
trains, be was sstounded to see the locomo-
tive which hauld the pay car going south at
a rapid rate OF speed The horse was al
ready on the track, and Mr.. Border saw that
il he attempted to proceed he would be kill
ed. Accordingly he made an effort to back
from the track, but had only partially sue
oeeded when the engine struck the horse s
head. The frightened and injured animal
plunged around for q time, finally throwing
Mr.. Border across the track and into ditch,
severely bruising him. By this time the
train had stopped and the hands returned to
see what damage had been done. Mr.. Bor-
der asked them why they didn't whistle
when nearing Bethel or the crossing, and
they contended that this had been done until
several of the formers employees corrobo-
rated his statement 10 the contrary. Then
they acknowledged that no warning had
been given.
The crossing at which the accident occur
red is a private one, though it was placed
there when the road was built and has been
kept up ever since by the railroad people.
1t connects different paris Of Mr.. Borders
farm. The injured horse has bled Profusely
since the accident, and it is believed its death
will result. As 1t was a valuable animal,
there is a likelihood that Mr.. Border will
enter suit against the railroad company for
damages, because Of the failure Of the en-
gineer to give warning when approaching
Bethel and the crossing with the special
train.

The cIarks Sentenced.

The Clarks, found guilty of completely
with F;izimmonS in the murder Of Detective
Gilkinson, were sentenced on Saturday, in
the Allegheny county courts, by Judge Sla-
gle. CLARK vas given two years 10 the peni-
tentiary, one each on two counts, the second
being accessory after the fact to Gilkinson' s
murder His wife was given three years.
Judge slagel said the jury had recommended
mercy in her case, but he could not see why
more mercy should be shown to 8 criminal
woman than criminal man. Her husband
had the benefit, ne said, Of having proved a
previous good character.
Mrs. Clark, on her way to the Peniten-
tiary, in company with Detectives Fitzgerald
and Robinson, told them that il would be
useless to prosecute further search for Fitz-
simmons, as be had left the country and was
safe out of it. The husband and wife were
handcuffed together in the street car, and
when very near the building al Riverside
Ms. Clark said "she guessed she would take
the cuffs of. and suiting the action to the
word, slipped them off over her delicate
little hands The officers smiled and made
no attempt to replace them, and Mrs. Clark,
continuing said ''Nog wish my lover
would come along and rescue me from you
people" The 'lover," however, failed to
appear, and the couple were safely landed
in the peniientiary.
Many people in Brsddock believe that
Fitzsimmons is hiding there.

WORTHY MASTER RHoNE.
ADVISES the Farmers to Vote Against
Candfdafe Wright

In letter to the FdraaS Friend Worthy
Master Rhone expresses his opinion Of Can
didaie Wright as follows
OFFIcE OF MAsTEE, PESssxLvAsIA STATE
GRANGE, CEsrnE Hall. Pa, Oct. Il. is9i.--
Every citizen Of the United States is invest
ed with the sacred trust Of the ballot As
he votes 80 will our Government be. There
fore every voter should carefully consider
before he casts his ballot for whom and
what be is voting.
The great political parties of our country
have boasted long ard loud about being the
champions Of the equality and liberties Of
the people. but how often has the power Of
selfish interests subverted these principles to
purposes Of personal greed and the oppres-
sion Of the peopleg No class has suffered
more from these inroads on the rights of the
people than the agricultural class They
have been slow to resent II, but when it did
come it came very emphatic, as was demon
sirated al last falls election, in the defeat of
the leading nominee Of the dominant party
ofPennsylvania, for no other reason than
his record on the farmers grange tax bill,
which had for its object an equitable distri-
button OF the burdens Of government.
The situation at the coming election is
very similar to that of last fall, only that
the party relations are reversed. We have
in the nomination Of Mr.. Robert E. Wright,
for Auditor General, by one Of the leading
political parties, candidate whose record
shows him to be opposed TO the farmers de-
mAnded for equality in the distribution of
the necessary burdens OF government. II
was Robert T. Wright, representing 6 great
corporation, that made the most bitter and
unfair attack upon the Farmers Grange tax
bill before the Senate Finance Committee
during the last session Of the Legislature
and it is reasonable to suppose that what he
did as private citizen, and employe of
great corporation he would do as Auditor
General. Then how can We, as farmers,
consistly support man who has 50 persist
emily opposed the farmers demands for
equality in our tax laws.
i'll understand the essence of Democracy,
il is for the equality of rights" and the
principals of Republicanism, it is for ian
equitable representative government or no
taxation without representation"
We want TO be true to our political parties,
We do not advocate a change in our party
allegiance but we cannot consistently carry
out our principles and vote for men who
will misrepresent us when in office and de-
feat our purposes OF equality as an organiza-
ton. Pray tell US how many farmers are
on the ticket of either party TO the Constitu-
honal Convention Not one. Party yessals
and party boobies may vote that way, but
free men, never.
