WON'T GET A coHvINrIoN VOTE.
Representative Lemon Says Pittsburgers
Are Too Slow to Act.

Representative Lemon Says Pittsbur.ers
Are Too Slow to Act.
II don't think Pittsburg will get vote
in the National Republican Committee, -
said Representative NJ. B. Lemon yester-
day. "Our people are too slow. They act
as if they don't want the convention. The
delegations from other cities have
been in Washington for some time,
and every man on the committee has been
button-holed. Where will we come in at
this late day? Look at the prominent peo-
pie Omaha sent to the Capital to speak for
that city. Ex-Judge Thurston and his as
sistants are great takers. and will have
considerable influence. When q town of
recent origin like Seattle offers to pay the
expenses of the convention, it ought to stir
us up. Their bid might only be bluff, but
1t sounds we'll aud reads like business on
paper"
In running over the States it is believed
that Pittsburg will be very popular with
the Southern members Pennsylvania may
get some votes from the East, especially
Maine, but the Western fellows have care
fully canvassed their representatives on the
committee. Colonel Conger is the Ohio
member, and it is o question whether he
will support the claims of Cincinnati. Per-
sonally Mr.. Conger is favorable to Pitts
burg. 1t is surprising what interest the
people are now taking in getting the con-
vention when it is almost too late to try for
it. The city's pretensions were free
1y discussed on the streets and
in the hotel lobbies yesterday.
It was remarked in some quarters that cities
like Omaha, Minneapolis, Cincinnati, De-
troit and Pittsburg have no business with
the convention, that the only places capa-
BILE of handling crowd are New York and
Chicago, and as the Windy City valves
its claim it should 60 to the Metropolis.
There are those who remember what hard
time New York had to care for the crowd
at the celebration of the hundredth anniver-
sary of Washington's Inauguration in 1889.
Rooms are scarce there now

AIMS OF THE ALLIANCE.
Its Members Favor Free Silver and the Sub
Treasury Scheme,

Its Members Favor Free Silver ana tne BUD
Treasury Scheme.
The Farmers Alliance is pledged to
greenback currency and the sub-Treasury
scheme. The annual meeting at Indian
apols is over, and the delegates are home
ward bound. William Farr Goodwin, who
represented New Jersey with Dr.. Atkinson,
the State President, and Enos Richmond,
the Jersey agent of the Alliance, passed
through the city last evening going East.
Mr.. Goodwin, who runs an Alliance paper,
was clad in keeping with the farmers call
ing, and he clung tenaciously to an ancient
and faded grip. He was no fool, however,
and spoke intelligently about the aims OF
the order.
'The people who say that the Alliance
is on the decline are mistaken" he said.
"We have weeded out McGrath and the
other traitors. McGrath joined the society
to break it up, but he hasn't succeeded:
We are stronger than ever. and have formed
combinations with the Farmers Mutual
Benefit Association and the Young Mems
Christian Temperance Union. The w. 9.
I. q. has also promised to cooperate with
the Alliance. Every member in the organ1-
zation favors the sub-treasury plan. Why
the Government has sub-treasuries now
for the silver men, and all they have to do
is to take their bullion to one of these
places and get money for it. Now we
claim that a bushel of corn or wheat has as
much intrinsic value as silver, and we
demand from the Government the same
privileges accorded the silver producers.
We don't interfere with a mans politics or
religion, but our members will vote for the
men and measures that favor the farmers
interests The Alliance will not nominate
Presidential candidate, but the party that
recognizes our claims and principles will
receive the support of the Alliance"
Mr. Goodwin says the old parties ary try
ing to down the society without success.
They want greenbacks issued directly to the
people, just as a man would give his note
for q debt. They favor the free coinage Of
silver also. Mr.. Goodwin states that during
the war the people got along very well with
out gold or silver. The Alliance leaders
think they can control the balance Of power
in the United States, and they propose to
bring the Democrats and Republicans to
their knees

RIOTING ON FORBES STREET.
One of the Men Struck on the Head With
Brick-His Recovery Is Doubtful-The
Police Are Searching for the Rioters.


One of the Men Struck on the Head With a
Brick-His Recovery Is Doubtful-Ihe
Police Are Searching for the Rioters.
A riot occurred at Brady and Forbes
streets, shortly after 10 o'clock last night,
which resulted in the probable murder of a
man named Timothy Kelly, and the serious
wounding of several other persons. Three
men, Timothy Kelly, who was hurt badly,
James LAWN and Martin Duffey were
lodged in the Fourteenth ward police
station as result of the riot, and the police
are looking for several others connected
with the affray
The cause of the riot is not known, and
in telling his side of the story Kelly said
he left his boarding house on Brady street
for walk. He had just got to Forbes street
when an unknown person struck him on the
head with a brick and knocked him down.
This, he thought, is what started the row, as
there were dozen or more men standing
near bv, who at once began fighting and
made things lively for about 20 minutes,
when Officer McIlroy, in company with
several citizens, arrived on the scene. The
mob Immediately dispersed. and Kelly,
LAWN and Dufiey were placed under arrest
When taken to the police station Kelly
was III terrlDle pllSut. ne was cofeiou
with blood and mud from head to foot, and
his clothes were almost torn from his body.
His injuries were seen to be serious. DIR.
Meyer was called and Kelly's injuries
dressed. Besides being hit with brick,
he received several kicks about the head
and face. DR.. Mover gave orders that the
best of care be taken of him, as his injuries
were liable to be fatal.
Duffey was in about the same shape as
Kelly, but had not sustained any very seri-
Gus injury. 1t is thought several other per-
sons were badly hurt in the fight as some
of the men were seen to assist their friends
in getting away. Captain Unterbaum and
Officers Mclaughlin and Sterick succeeded
in getting description of several of the
people and are now looking for them.

A Pennsylvania Drummer's Peculiar Ex-
perience in New York.
L oCKPoRT, n. Y, Nov. 22.-[Special +
n. W. Mckenzie, commercial man from
Duke Center, Pa, has been wandering in
the woods and fields west of the city for
several days past. He would approach
farm houses and ask for food, leaving a
valuable gold watch at one place and his
overcoat and valuables at other places. He
engaged Charles Raft, farmer of Martins
vile, to drive him to Buffalo, paying him
SIS.
After they started Mckenzie jumped
from the wagon and made for the woods.
He reached Tonawanda yesterday, and said
that he did not know anything of his
whereabouts since leaying' st. Catharines
several days ago. He alleges that he drank
wine with a lot of girls connected with a
variety show and thinks it was drugged.
His watch, overcoat and valuables have
been recovered, but a large sum of money
he had could not be found.

STANDARD MEN IN TOWN.
Messrs. O'Day, Archbold and Rogers Come
in From New York,

Messrs. O'Day. Archbold and Rogers Come
in From New York.
The presence of Standard Oil magnates
anywhere is sure sign that something is
going on. Last evening Daniel O'Day, r..
H. Rogers and John D. Archbold came in on
the limited and put up at the Monongahela
House. Mr.. O'Day registered from New
York, which would indicate that he is now
in the harness doing Rockaf lleer's work.
1t is denied that Mr.. O'Day has succeeded
Rockefeller, but there are oil men who in
sist that it is correct, but for the present
only the beads of the departments have
been notified. Mr.. O'Day met n. F. Clark
and other oil men from Oil City. A con-
sultation followed in the lobby of
the hotel, but Mr.. O'Day smiled and
looked innocent when asked what brought
him and his associates to Pittsburg. They
were here about week ago, and then itwas
to make provision to prevent the great
waste of oil in the Mcdonald field.
Speculation will be rife to-day, and it
was stated last evening that the proposed
Mellon pipe line is worrying the Standard
people great deal.

GOLD IN SAN DOMINGO.
Southern People Who Stir Up Revolutions
for the Money in Them.

S. S. johnson, a representative of the
West Indian Mining Company, registered
at the Monongahela House yesterday. He
formerly lived in Waynesburg, and was on
his way home to see his mother. He brought
with him some specimens of gold taken
from placer mines. He says considerable
of the precious metal is found in the island,
but it has not been developed to any great
extent. The veins are of the perpendicular
and fissure variety.
San Domingo joins Haiti, and is one of
the Southern countries with which the
United States has established reciprocal
trade relations. Mr.. johnson saws it is too
early to know how it will affect the sugar
men. "The troub':a in Haiti last summer, 4"
he continued, was an ordinary riot, and
not nearly so bad as the Pittsburg railroad
strike in 1877. In the Southern republics
there are men who make it business to stir
up revolutions, SO that they will be bought
of. The Government is little uncertain,
but in San Domingo the people, who are of
a mixed race, are very kind and hospitable
The climate is delightful, and after visiting
my mother expect to return in January"

WE'LL PREMEDITATED THE ACT.
On Saturday He Joked With a Friend
About His Approaching Death.

The suicide of Rev. Carl We'll, published
in yesterdays DISPATCH, was considerable
of a surprise to those who knew him init
mately. This was particularly so among
the residents of Bloomfield, where the de-
ceased has lived for a number of years and
where he was greatly beloved by the people.
The shock was so great to Mrs. We'll that
she was confined to bed and none but near
relatives allowed to see her.
There has been but little light thrown on
the case, although several theories have
been advanced but they are only rumors
Mr.. We'll had been at restaurant near his
home with friend until short time pre-
vious to his committing the deed. He
seemed to be in good humor, having told
several stories during the evening. One
story in circulation yesterday was to the
effect that on Saturday night about o'clock
Mr.. We'll drove out from town with a
friend and when leaving the latter at the
corner of Edmund street, the deceased
shook hands with his friend and remarked:
"Come down and see me tomorrow. l will
be at home, nut won't be able to converse
with you. If YOU can't come tomorrow,
come on Monday and take carriage ride.
I won't be il. the same carriage with you,
but I'll be there, all the same" This story
could nd be traced to any authentic source.

ONLY ONE CONSERVATORY.
Two Were Expected, but Charles Clarke's
Offer Has Been Withdrawn.

1t is now definitely known that the con-
templated offer to the city of $50, 900 con-
servatory has been withdrawn by Charles
]. Clarke, who was the first to propose such
an ornament to Schenley Park. Mr. Clarke
was earnest in his intention nearly year
ago to give the city a conservatory that
would excel that of Allegheny. He made
a couple of trips to Eastern cities in COM
pany with Chief Bigelow to secure ideas to
be incorporated into the home conservatory,
and even went to the expense of having an
elaborate set of plans drawn up by an archi-
tect.
Subsequently he changed his mind some
what in reference to the matter, and when
Mr.. Phipps made his offer of 800, 900
conservatory Mr.. Clarke decided to let his
project drop, and the offer was not made.
Whether he intends to devote the same
amount of money to another public purpose
is not known
