A MARKED IMPROVEMENT.

No public work for long time,
barring the paving and widening of
Railroad street, has made such a
marked improvement as the grading
and turing of Railroad park. The

Fred S. Daniels of this place was
at Hanover at the time of Almy's
discovery in the Warden barn and he
was one of the crowd that besieged
the murderer from early morning un-
til his final capture. Mr.. Daniels
says that the excitement was intense
and it was wonder that no one
was hurt, as there was great deal
of wild shooting on the part of the
assailants After Almy's surrender
Mr.. Daniels followed the carriage to
the Wheelock House and was one of
the crowd that passed through the
wounded mans room.

WYER DUNNETT KNEW HIM.

Little bits of Almy's past history
are daily cropping out and every
thing goes TO confirm the opinion
that he is identical with George H.
Abbott Lawyer Dunnett was
quite well acquainted with Abbott,
having seen considerable of him dur
ing his confinement in Chelsea jail
and his subsequent trial, and he
says that the pictures of Amy tally
exactly with the features of George
H. Abbott Mr.. Dunnett had a
client in Chelsea jail at that time
whom he occasionally visited, and
this client related a number of anec-
dotes to Mr. Dunnett that Abbott
had told to him. One was about
boisterous old farmer in Thetford,
who laughed at the burglarized house
owners and openly defed any man
to enter his house without his
knowledge. Abbott, hearing his
threat, visited the house one night
and stole everything of any use to
him while the old man SnOOzed away
in blissful ignorance through 1T all.
Among other things taken was a
double barreled shotgun which stood
loaded at the head of the bed, and
which Abbott fired as parting
salute to the old man, while he made
off to the woods. This and the
other stories all showed Abbott's
keen appreciation of a joke, char
acteristic which Amy possesses to
a great degree, as was shown by his
hearty laughs at the stories told by
the officers while guarding him at
the Wheelock house. Judge 81. H.
Powers presided over the court that
sentenced Abbott, and at the end of
the trial said: prisoner at the bar,
have you anything to say why the
full sentence of the law should not
be pronounced upon you?" Moth
ing" replied Abbott, ''only l pray
for the mercy of the court and
snort leIIu TIC JudSS lHSH pIO-
ceeded to give him lecture on the
evil of his ways and exhorted him to
lead a better life, after which the
sentence was pronounced. Abbott
was convicted of nine different
offences, and instead of his pro-
nouncing the whole sentence at once,
the Judge read each offence and the
term of Imprisonment for the same
separately with all the Formally of
the law, saying in each case ''for
this offence 1 give you two years at
hard labor in the states prison, at
Windsor, in the county of Windsor;
for that offence l give you one year"
etc, and naturally considerable time
was spent in giving SO long a sentence.
All this time Abbott stood leaning
on the railing, with head bowed, and
as Judge Powers finished he looked
up and drolly asked, What is the
aggregate, your honor?" The
Judges face twitched with repress-
ed mirth as he answered gravely,
"Fifteen years"

ELEVENTH WARDERs RALLY
To Hear Straightout Republican Speaker
Enthuse a Large Audience.

To Hear Straightout Republican Speakers
Enthuse Large Audience.
A meeting of straightout Republicans
was held at the Eleventh ward public
school last night. The meeting was called
to order about 8 o'clock by Thomas Kerins.
DIR. G. c. McCord was elected Chair
man and made rousing address.
Thirty-nine representatives of the
Eleventh ward were then named
as Vice Presidents, after which w. D.
Moore, who said he was not feeling at his
best, made very able address, which was
duly applauded by the 400 assembled. He
reviewed the political situation of the
parties having candidates in the field, and
predicted a victory for the ''party of the
people" the Straightouts.
At times the enthusiasm reached a high
pitch, when the orator made some of his
thrusts for which he is well known. Mr..
O'Brien followed him, and spoke in like
vein, but gave way to L. K. Porter, candi-
date for District Attorney. He made an
able address and favorable impression among
those present. A colored man, J. L. Phil
lips, also spoke, and kept his hearers in
constant roar of laughter by humorous
address, in which he singled out the leaders
of the opposition.

AN ITALIANS BLUNDER.

Chief Brown Thinks Alexander Csird Has
Good Case for Damages-He Was
Charged With Passing Counterfeit DIN,
Which Turned Out to Be Good.
Last Friday night Alexander Caird, of
Braddock, was arrested on the charge of
lassing counterfeit money. He was charged
b. an Italian fruit dealer with rendering
spurious s. gold coin. Officer Costello ar
rested him at the Union station as he was
about to board train. He languished in
Central station all night, having no friends
in Pittsburg. At the morning hearing
Card was discharged, the coin being found
genuine. Since then his friends at Brad
dock have been indig 1ant at his arrest, and
even urged him to bring action for false ar
rest and imprisonment.
His story is that party of Scotch people
with their wives came to attend the Exposi-
tion on Friday-that being Scotland's dav,
After the entertainment they arted home
Card stopped at the Italians fruit stand
and purchased some articles amounting to
"a cents, for which he rendered the S. gold
coin. After he received the change the
party went to the train. He was Just step
ping on the car when an officer arrested
him on the before named charge. The Ital-
ian was there gesticrlating and talking ex-
citedlv. When the trouble was made
known Caird borrowed 30 cents from one of
his friends and paid the italian. taking
back the alleged bad coin. This for some
reason or other did not satisfy the officer.
and Cairo was torn away from his weeping
wife and anxious friends and taken to the
Central station with the result as above
stated.
Mr. Card is respectable and honest, being
an employe of the Edgar Thomson Steel
Works, standing high in the estimation of
everyone The unpleasant feature of his
arrest was the worry and discontinue of
his wife who was comuelled to 20 home
alone and spend sleepless and sorrowfuI
night With grave forebodings as to her hus-
band.
Chief Brown, when spoken to regarding
the matter yesterday, characterized it as an
outrage and said that Mr.. Card could re-
cover damages. The police officials could
do nothing, as the charge had been made
They think it would be useless for a suit to
be brought, as the chances are nothing
could be recovered from the Italian to
alneliorate or repay the wounded feelings of
the innocent man

His Erie County Neighbors Say He
Has Sold His Country Place
to Raise Campaign Expenses.
SEVERAL OF THEM TO CONFIRM IT.
Quay and Magee Hold Another Conference,
This Time at the Depot Instead
of at Crowded Hotel
NONE OF THEIR TALK FOR THE PUBLIC.
Private Dalzell Places Major McKinleys Majority at
AbOut 10000.

Candidate Tilden is not a farmer. He
has cut loose from the grangers, sold his
farm and taken the money to pay campaign
expenses, was the startling statement made
last night by Henry Dunn, Poor Director
of Erie county, who is stopping at the Home
Hotel, while in attendance at the United
States Court. Continuing, he stated that
the sale would probably be kept quiet until
after the election, but that he had indisputa-
bic evidence of its truthfulness.
''Mr. Tilden is comparatively poor
man, )" said Mr.. Dunn. ''He has made pol
itics a profession, and was only farmer
in name His place was a poor
one, and I think its sale was
made necessary in order to provide
money for Mr.. Tilden to carry on his cam
paign. Besides, 1 do not believe he ever
made money at the business, and that he
simply stuck to it to aid him in politics.
He is playing his highest trump now,
and will probably drop the plow- handles,
whether he wins or loses. In fact, I don't
think he knows very much about plows or
any other agricultural implement.
Other Opinions From Erie County.
''He is one of the class of country people
who sit on drygoods boxes, watch the grass
go to seed and wish the Lord had provided
some means to harvest without doing any
work. interrupted 7. H. Coal, another
Erie county man.
Just then Postmaster John c. Hilton, of
Erie, came into the Office and fired another
shn T. h. hat he ho1
bolted the ticket when w. L. Scott was
candidate for Congress
''And can prove it," said Hilton, with
emphasis. "Scott was as true a Democrat
as ever lived, but he had no time for such
men as Tilden, so the latter tried to get
even. by working against him. Tilden is
very weak man in Erie county, and will
not capture a Republican vote. 1 was in
the Recorders office while he was County
Commissioner, and had a good chance to
get acquainted with him. He did moth
ing but kick about little things while
he was in the Office and was usually ignored
by even his own party men. He gets no.
toriety through his ability to make cam
paign speeches.
Praise for Congressman Dalzel1.
Referring to Congressman Dalzell's speech
in Erie last Friday night, Mr. Hilton said
he had never heard tariff argument more
plainly expressed or made so interesting.
f'DalzeIl, - he continued, sis a favorite in
our city, and will never fail to get a good
audience His speech was praised by both
Republicans and Democrats, and will have
great deal of effect
Frank Willis, neighbor of Mr. Tilden,
and farmer himself, who is also attending
United States Court, confirmed the state
ment made by Mr.. Dunn, that Tilden had
sold his farm Mr.. Willis takes little in
tcrest in politics and would not predict the
result of the coming election in Erie County
He did not think that Tilden's granger plea
would win many votes for him.

Affair BIaiDo

He Thinks McKinIey's' Majority Will Be
About 20, OOO-The Legislature Now the
Sticking Point-A Boom for the Major
After Blaine.
"Private" Dalzell, of Caldwell, O., ac-
companied by his wife and son, passed
through Pittsburg from his Ohio home,
last night, on his way to Uniontown. They
go there to pay tribute to the graves of the
Private's parents, who lie side by side in a
sequestered spot upon the mountain near
Chalk Hill This is nine miles from Union
town, ON the National Pike.
The wel[known soldier is ripe on the sub
ject of Ohio politics. In his opinion Major
Mckinley has the battle won. and magnif-
cent fight he has made. From close observa-
tion and information secured the Pri vate
thinks the tariff giant will carry the State
by at least 10000.
''There are wonderful opportunities for
scratching on the kangaroo ballot, which
has been adopted by law in Ohio. There
were at first four tickets-Republican
Democratic, Labor and Prohibitionist-bu
in one county in the State Veterans
ticket was nominated, and, according to the
Legislature, this must be printed on the
same ticket with the others. Ave, there's
the rub. That Veterans movement at Gin
cinnati recently will tend to hurt some one
party. You see, every old soldier, when he
picks up his hand-bill prior to casting it,
will scan over the names and the parties to
which they belong. What's this? Vet
Grams? Well, 1 guess 1 will just vote the
Veterans ticket for once in my life. And
in it goes TO the detriment of some other
candidates.
''What we are most exercised about at
present is the Legislature. We want to
put Mckinley up for President, but we
can't unless we secure The Legislature. Six
weeks ago if you had asked me what L
thought of the prospects of gaining the
point would have hesitated and answered
you unfavorably, L fear, but now, from
more recent developments, 1 am more
sanguine of securing a majority of the
representatives. We must have them.
''There is no doubt that the people want
Mckinley for President-second to Blaine,
of course-and 1 think this is the step
ping stone for the great tariff advocate to
be the favored one at the next Republican
National Convention
Private Dalzell will spend two days in
Fayette county, whence he will return to
Pittsburg and visit relatives for a day or
two.

QUAY AND MAGE TOGETHER,
They Have Another Short Talk, but Boil
We're Silent About 1t.

They Have Another Short Talk, but Both
Were Silent About It.
1t is reminder of former days to see
Senator Quay and c. L. Magee talking to-
gether about the politics of the State. They
have met pretty often this fall, for these are
troublesome times Last evening the Sena-
tor went East. The Pittsburg leader hap
pened to be at the depot so he said and it
was the most natural thing in the world to
have short consultation. They conversed
in an earnest manner for about five minutes
before the train started. Mr.. Magee did
most of the talking, and his style was ener-
getic. When it was all over, the Pits
burger said they hadn't discussed politics,
or the extra session of the Senate This is
all he would say.
Senator Quay was just as reticent He
was going to Philadelphia, and he had
hoped the fact would not be announced, so
that he wouldn't be bothered in the Quaker
City. He remarked that the Republican
State ticket was all right, and then he was
silent. Postmaster Mexican and Colonel
w. H. Reid were present, and had few
words with the Senator. The prospects for
the party are considered critical, and from
this out the Colonel will direct the cam
paign He expects to return home this
evening.
Major S. V. Holiday, Commissioner of
Customs, was also at the depot. He hap
pened there by accident, and is in the city
as a witness in case in the United States
Court The Major is an Erie man, but says
he has a poor chance to learn anything about
the State in Washington. He is sorry to
see the Democrats making such hot fight
NJ r.. I
beaten. He added that the custom duties
are not as lafge this year as they were last,
but this was expected. The tariff, he said,
was working out its own salvation, and so
far as he knew, there are of plenty revenues
to run the Government.
