THERE is NO COOLEY GANG,

According to Responsible Residents of
Fayette County-No Truth in the Re-
port of Sheriff Mccormick Organizing
a Posse-Many False Alarms.
"All this sensational stuff about the
Cooley gang is unfounded,' Frank NJ. Full
Ier, of Uniontown, said Yesterday. Mr..
Fuller is an attorney of standing and repu-
tation in Fayette county, and with those to
whom he is best known his evidence would
have most weight. The Pittsburg papers
yesterday morning contained a lively dis
patch from Uniontown, in which it
was stated that Sheriff Mccormick, with
posse of armed men, had started
out to capture the Cooleys. When
those dispatches were written Sheriff Nc
Cormick was in Pittsburg attending TO his
own private affairs. He was met on the
streets in this city on Tuesday by DIS
PATCH reporter. He remained in Pittsburg
until Yesterday, and in conversation he said
he had no intention of organizing party to
hunt down the Cooleys
"There is no Cooley gang, Mr.. Fuller
said. I'VE have farm south Of Fair
chance, where the Cooleys live. l fire.
ouently 60 TO the farm, and L rarely go
there that do not see both the Cooley boys.
/ saw them together the day before Frank
Cooley was reported to have been shot. The
two BOYS were together when l saw them.
They were hunting game, AID paid no at
tention to them and they paid no attention
to me. There is no truth In the
report that Frank Cooley was shot.
That was what they call q fake.
Understand me-" Mr. Fuller went on, 81
am not defending the Cooleys. They are
rough characters, who trade horses and get
along with as little work as possible, but
they do not have gang, as reported. They
live at their home i'll the mountains, and
while they would no doubt steal if they got
a good chance, they get credit for doing
many things of which they are not guilty
MANY false alarms are sounded from that
neighborhood, and many of the petty
crimes committed are unfairly charged to
the Cooleys on account of their bad reputa-
tions"

LEE IS FOR DALZELL.
The Ex-senator and Popular Oil Man
Announces His Choice Openly.
HE STRONGLY DENOUNCEs QUAY,
And Has No Use for Those Who Have Re-
Joined the Beaver Statesman.
A NEW CANDIDATE FOR REEDS PLACE

Ex-senator j. w. Lee, of Franklin, Pa,
man with strong individual following
throughout the State, was in Pittsburg yes
terday. He stopped at the Hotel Duquesne,
but he did not mingle with the crowd that
gathered about that hostelry to see and talk
with Senator Quay. Mr.. Lee came to Pitts
burg. he said, to look after legal business
for his clients. During his stay, however,
he was called upon by many Independent
Republicans 1t was noticeable, however,
that none of the Pittsburg Republicans
who Joined with him in his furious and sue
cessful fight against Senator Quay and his
candidate for Governor, George W. Della
mater, were among his callers.
Senator Lee left last night for Washing
ton. While there he will visit the Presi-
dent and will consult with Congressman
Dalzell. He went to Washington in the
interest of n political friend.
"Who will YOU support for United States
Senator?' was asked Senator Lee.
81 am for Mr. Dalzell.'
''Then YOU have not relented and Joined
with your former friends in doing honor to
Quay?''
"No, have not. 1 am not doing much
honor to any one just now, as 1 am to an
extent out of politics, Mr.. Quay's enemy
friends cannot save him. The people of
Pennsylvania are after him, and in my
judgment he cannot be reelected. The
feeling against Senator Quay L find has e1-
tended all over the State. You know 1 am
about the State more than the average law
yer, and / am acquainted with all classes.
81 find the feeling against Mr.. Quay is
deep-seated and it will be lasting The
people are determined that the Beaver gen.
tleman shall no longer misrepresent them
at Washington. Why went on Senator
Lee with some emphasis, "Pennsylvania has
lost its place among the States. The little
States of the East are looked upon with
much more regard than is Pennsylvania.
The people are not content with this condi-
tion. Pennsylvania is the greatest State in
the Union. 1t is greater even than New
York. Our State feeds New York, but as
they saw we are not in it in the way of rep
resentation in the United States Senate.
Neither Quay or Cameron is fit to repre-
sent our State" Senator Lee said. Neither
is ever at Washington. While the one is
fishing the other is resting at Lochiel.
Quay is good enough Republican, but the
people have no patience with his methods.
Cameron is not Republican. In fact, he
never was Republican. What the people
of Pennsylvania want" Senator Lee con-
cluded, ''is representative in the United
States Senate who will do less fishing and
more reputable work in the way OF repre-
senting the best constituency in the ma
rion.

MARSHALL DON'T LIKE IT.
He l. Opposed to the Lawyers Going Into
Politics as a Body.

he IL Opposed to the Lawyers Going Into
Politics Body.
Col. Thomas NJ. Marshall yesterday at
the meeting of the lawyers to arrange some
plan for endorsing judicial candidates, led
the opposition to the scheme. He argued
that any competent, deserving attorney who
aspired to the bench could get the united
support of the Allegheny county bar at any
time and he was fearful that the scheme
which was adopted at Yesterdays meeting
would fall into the hands of the politicians.
81 look upon this organization as a judge
manufactory, limited" Thomas M. Mar
shall said yesterday. 'The proposition
to organize the bar of the county and then
appoint a committee to act for them gives
the politicians fair chance to name our
judges.
''The fact is" Mr.. Marshall went on,
!'only the cheap lawyers are anxious to go
on the bench. 1 am ashamed of my practice,
it is so small, but I could not afford to go
on the bench. Small as is my practice
it is worth more than $4,000 year. ANY
lawyer qualified for the place can get the
endorsement of the bar whenever he wants
it, but l believe the scheme to organize will
force politicians upon US as judges"

LOCAL ARCHITECTS DID WELL.

EIr Scott Says the Carnegie Library Plans
Will BE Awarded in a Week.
James B. Scott went to Philadelphia last
evening to attend the final meeting of the
Lunacv Commission for the year. He said
they have under their charge in the State
about 1000 insane people. Many of these
are chronic and are harmless. The number
keeps up in proportion to the population.
Mr.. Scott said the award for the Carnegie
Library plans would probably be made in
another week. The committee mas found it
a difficult task TO go over the designs and
discriminate between them. He was sur
prised and more than pleased with the
work of the Pittsburg architects. They
have maintained higher average than the
competitors from other cities. Mr.. Scott
declined to say in advance who would get
the first prize, and he would give no indica-
tion of his residence. A great many of the
designs fulfilled all the requirements that
the commission specified; but, of course,
only one, and that one the best, will be
selected.

The Best Treatment for La Grippe.

Remain quietly at home until all symp-
toms of the disease disappear, and then
when you go out have the body well clothed
and the feet we'll protected SO that they
will remain dry and warm.
Take Chamberain's Cough Remedy as
directed for severe cold. If freely taken
as soon as the first symptoms of the disease
appear, it will greatly lessen the severity
of the attack, and its continued use will
prevent dangerous consequences, provided,
of course, that reasonably good care be
taken of the general system and to avoid
exposure.
For pain in the chest, which is very apt
to appear, saturate a flannel cloth with
ChamberIain's Pain Balm and bind it over
the seat of pain. 1t will relieve the pain
and perhaps prevent pneumonia.
This treatment was followed by many
thousands of persons and families during
the winter Of 1889 and $780, and was uni
formlv successful. 1t greatly lessened the
severity of the attack and prevented
pneumonia or other dangerous conse-
quences. TTSu

Bremen Will Support Kerr il He Is Can

w. J. Bremen. Chairman of the Demo-
cratic County Committee, said yesterday
that if State Chairman Kerr is candidate
for reelection he will be successful not
withstanding the candidacy of Marshall
Wright.
Il will vote for Kerr if he is a candidate
for the place" Mr.. Bremen said.
Mr. Brennen's friends in Pittsburg are
talking of springing the little County Chair
man for MI. Kerr's place, provided that
Kerr is not candidate.
'"The assertion that the administration is
for Wright, for Chairman must be un-
founded" Pittsburg Democrat said yes
terday Marshall Wright has never been in
harmony with Harrity or Governor Patti
son. l heard Marshall Wright charge in
the lobby of Harrisburg hotel that Har-
rity had, dumped his brother, Robert f.
Wright, who was the late candidate for
Auditor General and know that Marshall
Wright would not suit the administration
unless he cannot be beaten. Then of course
Mr.. Harritv will be for him.

NINE HOURS OR NOTHING.
Such Are the Demands of the Journeymen
Horseshoers of the City

Such Are the Demands of the Journeymen
Horseshoers of the City.
The journeymen horseshoers are now in
the heat of a strike, warmer than that of
their forges Last June the master horse
shoers agreed to give them a nine hour work
day if they would exclude all non-union
men from working in the city. This was
impossible as several non-union men started
shops and employed non-union workmen.
The union had no jurisdiction over this, and
had to leave it go on. Last Friday the
master horseshoers met and decided to re-
sumo the ten-hour workday. The result of
the was a strike.
Last night conference was held between
the employers and the employed. The mas.
ter horseshoers still held out for ten hours
and the journeymen would not come in.
This means strike, which will be bitter
but short, it is'thought, as the employers
have too many contracts on hand and will
have to give in.

a NEW MAN IN THE FIELD.
Col. Stone Says He Is Booming General
Biakely for Judge Reeds Place.

Congressman Stone, of Allegheny. re-
turned to Washington last evening to spend
New Years with his family. He said he
had every reason in the world to believe
that w. H. Graham would be appointed
Collector There are seven Congressman in
the district and Mr.. Graham has the in
dorsement of four of them and the two
United States Senators. The Colonel then
referred to an alleged interview with Con-
gressman Dalzell from Philadelphia in
which the latter had spoken of him as a
'big baby He said that Mr.. Dalzell had
taken the trouble TO deny the interview,
and he never believed for moment that his
colleague had made such a remark concern
ing him. He added that he had not e1-
pressed his preference so far in favor of any
body for United States Senator.
At this point Congressman Stone revealed
the latest surprise in local politics When
asked about Judge Reeds possible sue
cessor he said be had candidate for the
place in the person Of General W. A Blake
lev. The General is now engaged in getting
the Endorsements of old soldiers and the
Colonel will push his claims as soon as he
arrives in Washington.

Next week Chief Bigelow expects to go
to Yellowst stone Park in search of buffalo for
Schenlev Park. He says he does not ex-
pect much trouble in getting them from
the Government, but outside people think
he will have considerable trouble getting
the game. AT this season of the year
about the only method of travel in the Ma

buffalo in the park are around Yellowstone
Lake, which is three days coach ride from
the Hot Springs Hotel, or about 120 miles.
The Chief said he believed he would get
two buffalo and then added that he was to
get pair of seals from the California Fish
