WAR ON MATT quar-.
Independent Republicans Want to Run
Him Out of tho SENATE.


PHILADELPHIA, Oct. S.-The move
ment among the Independent Republi-
cans Of Pennsylvania to prevent the re-
election of Senator Quay to the United
States Senate, which was begun in this
city IN June last, has so far progressed
that call has been issued for meeting
Of the leading spirits among tho anti.
Quay men in this city on Wednesday
next.
In June last an appeal addressed to
the citizens Of Pennsylvania was pub
lished over the signatures Of $50 promi-
nent Republicans, protesting against the
continued leadership of Senator Quay.
II stated that the Republican machine,
bossed by Quay, as well as his lieuten.
ants, was corrupt and in strong contrast
to the rank and file Of the party. 1t de-
manded the retirement of Quay, not
only from the position as the party
leader, but also from the Senate, and
concluded with the statement "that if
the appeal should excite popular re-
Spouse, ways and means could readily
be devised for organized effort at later
date"
The gentlemen in charge of the move
ment declare that the response to the
appeal has been sufficiently encouraging
to warrant them in going to work at once
toorganize their friends in every Repub-
lican legislative district in the state, with
the view of defeating Quay. The ap-
peal now bears the signatures of 332
signers, covering 30 counties outside of
Philadelphia, and these gentlemen have
been invited TO a meeting to be held on
Wednesday afternoon next at the old
board of trade rooms, in the Mercantile
Library Building.
The call has been issued by pro-
yisional committee, which comprises the
following well-known gentlemen: Her
bert Welsh, chairman; Francis b.
Reeves, Walter Wood, John Rodman
Paul, George L. Mapes, George Straw
bridge, NJ. D., Finley Acker, Charles
Richardson and Hampton L. Carson.
The signers are invited to form league
which shall carry into effect the views
expressed in the protest, and which, by
iudicious and right methods, shall seek
TO free the Republican party in this
state from Mr.. Quay's supremacy"

dedicated on the 10Th of November, the
anniversary of the dedication of the
National Cemetery. 1t was designed by
Col. John b. Bachelor, government
historian of the battle who was here
experimenting its erection which is now
completed.
II is unique in character and entirely
unlike anything on the field. The main
feature is an open bronze book weigh
ing l,2T2 pounds, which rests on u
highly finished plinth and base of richly
polished Fox Island and Quincy granite.
The left page of the book contains a
brief history Of Pickett's assault on the
third day of the battle, while the right
side gives an account of the repulse. A
bronze plate on the south side of the
plinth bears the name of every southern
regiment that marched in that charging
column while corresponding plate on
the north side bears the name Of every
northern regiment and battery that met
and repulsed it.
The sub-structure is of Gettysburg
granite and granolithic cement, the
whole covering II space of IS feet 6

Gossip Started by the sHeadsman"
launching with the President,


WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 1.-THE
fact that Clarkson dined with Harrison
last night has recalled the fact that,
while there has been no rupture be-
tween Mr.. Harrison and Mr.. Clarkson,
it has been understood for some time
that they were not on the most cordial
terms, and it was said that when
General Clarkson took the place of Mr..
Quay as chairman of the national ex-
ecutive committee in would be run in
practical antagonism to Mr.. Harrison.
Politicians say, however, that it has
been apparent Of late that Mr.. Harrison
has overcome tho antagonism of General
Clarkson, as well as that entertained by
some other prominent leaders.
IL is not supposed that the menu was
the most important thing discussed at
table, and the fact of General Clarkson
being entertained at the White House is
accepted as an indication that they are
patching up their differences and com
ing to an understanding for the future
of the party.
Senator Quay and Senator Cameron
had long talk this morning over the
situation, after which Quay went over
to the Arlington and had a long talk
with Clarkson. Neither of these .llks
was very favorable to Harrson's renom-
nation. Quay will not return to Wash
ington until the day after election, next
month, when he will stop here on his
way to Florida, where he will remain
until Congress meets.
Senator Quay went home tonight at
. o'clock without having seen the Pres
ident; but just before he left he had u
long talk with Postmaster. general Wan
amaker at the latter's residence, which
may have paved the way for future ne
gotiations with the President. There is
no doubt that the President wants
Quay's support, but there is consider
able doubt whether he will get it. The
President thinks that Quay will prob
ably control the Pennsylvania delega-
ton, and that he must have his support
to secure ii.

An Erudite Echo.

In the course of last summer some
strangers of distinction were induced TO
visit a wild and unfrequented retreat in
a distant part of the Highlands, chiefly
from the report they heard Of an echo
which was remarkable for the clear and
distinct nature of its reyerberation.
On reaching the spot whence the trial
Of its powers is usually made their guide
put his hands to the side of his mouth
and bawled out with the lungs of d
stentor a salutation in Gaelic, which
was repeated with q precision that
seemed beyond the expectations of the
party.
One of the gentlemen, by way Of try
ing the strength of his voice, put his
hand to the side of his mouth in the
same manner as his guide and called
out.
How far are we from homer"
These words, much to the surprise Of
their guide, were also repeated, when
poor Donald, with simplicity which
brought q smile over the faces of all
present, exclaimed:
You may think it is strange, gentle
men, but this is the first time that | ever
heard our echo speak English
81 have no doubt" said the gentle.
man, but it can repeat other languages
if you put it to the test" and instantly
hawled out some brief questions in
French, Spanish and Italian.
Donald looked more dazed than ever.
swell, | must say that's very queer.
My own father and my own self have
known that echo for more than 70 years
and we never knew it used any language
but Gaelic before"
"Your echo is more learned, then,
than you supposed,n said the gentle
man, laughing, though at a loss whether
to impute Donald's remarks to archness
or simplicity.
you may say that, sir" said the poor
fellow, with an expression of earnest
ness that was highly amusing to those
present; "but as the echo has never
been out of the country where can she
have got all her education ?"

TIE SPEED or INSECTS.
Tho Fly Makes Six Hundred Strokes Q
Second when in a Hurry.

There are many insects which one
would little suspect to be furnished with
apparatus suited to swift and more or
less continuous flight. House flies fire.
quent the inside of our windows, buzz
zing sluggishly In and out of the room.
But what different creatures are they,
says the Newcastle (England) Times,
when they accompany you on a hot
summer day.
A swarm of these little pests keep
pertinaclously on wing about your ears;
quicken your pace, and they are still
with you; let gust of wind arise and
carry them backward and behind, the
breeze having dropped, their speed is
redoubled, and they return to their post
Of annoyance. But this example gives
only a partial example of the fly's power
Of flight, as the following will show
The writer was travelling one day in
autumn by rail, at about 25 miles an
hour, when company Of flies put in an
appearance at the carriage windcw.
They never settled, but easily kept
pace with the train; so much so, indeed,
that their flight seemed to be almost
mechanical, and a thought struck the
writer that they had probably been
drawn into sort of vortex, whereby
they were carried onward with but little
exertion on the part of themselves. But
this was soon disproved. They sailed
forth at right angles from the train,
flew to distance Of 80 to 40 feet, still
keeping pace, and then returned with
increased speed and buoyancy to the
window.
To account for this, look at the wings
OF fly. Each is composed Of an upper
and lower membrane, between which
the blood vessels and respiratory organs
ramify, so as to form delicate network
for the extended wings. These are used
with great quickness, and probably 600
strokes are made per second. This would
carry the fly about % feet, but seven
fold velocity can easily be attained,
making 125 feet per second, so that
under certain circumstances it can out
strip race horse.

A Fatal Railroad Accident on the Albany
" SusquehaEnn.

~ t7hoflNtutElils
BTNGnAMToN, N. ", Oct. s.--A fatal
wreck occurred on the Albany q Sus-
quehanna road shortly before 1 o'clock.
this morning, at what is known as DYES
switch. The road at this point makes 4
sharp curve. The second section of
train No. SO, local freight made up at
Oneonta, was coming east in charge of
Conductor Peter, and was making this
curve at the rate of about 90 miles an
hour. When the train reached the
switch the locomotive jumped the track.
Engineer James Patterson of Oneonta
blew the signal for down brakes. Fire
man Bowers of Oneonta jumped and
sustained u fracture Of the left leg. He
was also cut about the face and body.
The engineer remained on the engine
and was killed.
Joseph Lynch, Of this city, brake
man on the pusher, had been dropped
oil his engine short time before to flag
another train, and had boarded the en-
gine of the wrecked train to reach this
city. He jumped after the fireman. His
right leg was broken below the knee
and he was also cut and bruised about
the face and body. He states that the
engineer, Patterson, stuck to the throttle
and gave the signal for down brakes,
but the cars kept coming into the engine.
Patterson's dead and mangled body
was pulled from under his engine some
hours after the accident. He was prob.
ably killed instantly. Both tracks were
blocked by the wreck which was piled
up in great heaps. All of the train:
crew were residents of Oneonta and the
injured men are married. Fifty-tve car.
were mashed in the wreck. The dam
age will amount to over $l5o,00o.

BoRpENTowN, N. j., Oct. 7.-When
Mrs. Della Il. $. Parnell was informed
of the death of her son to-day she fell
from her chair to the floor, grooming,
"0h, my son, my Charles; they have
killed you"
She became hysterical, and it was
some timo before she was sufficiently
composed to receive the particulars Of
her sons death. She is 76 years old and
quite feeble. She declared that Charles
had offered to aid her, but she had
assured him she was comfortable.
She spoke bitterly of her half brother,
Edward Stewart, who, she said, had
tried to deprive her of her home, and
had kept her away from her son. She
also excitedly declared that her son had
been Killed by the persecution Of Davitt,
the Irish World and the politicians. She
mourned because these "vpers" had
prevented her from being with her SON
in his last years.
