DALZELL BANQUETED.
A Royal Greeting Extended Him by
Republicans at BraddOck.
HE MAKES A SIGNIFICANT SPEECH.
An 0utburst of Cheers at the Mention of the
Name of Blaine.
MORE CLUBS FOR THE PITTsBURG MAN

A royal greeting was extended to Hon.
John Dalzell at Braddock last evening by
the delegates and alternates elected to go
to Scranton in his interest for the Presi-
dency of the State League of Republican
Clubs. The little Congressman was the
hero of the hour, and it was with the ut
most confidence of ultimate success that he
was entertained by go of the Republicans
of the neighborhood. From the depot to
the banquet hall at the Frantz Hotel he was
escorted in a carriage by the reception COM
mittee-Captain Charley Wood, w. w.
McCleary and n. F. Bennett. Sheriff Nc
Candless, Superintendent Luckey and
George Miller accompanied Mr. Dalzell.
Speechmaking following the feast. Squire
Fred w. Edwards was toastmaster A. NJ.
Carline, representative citizen, who stands
high in Grand Army circles, responded to
the toast, "Our Guest" "Our Clubs" was
the toast assigned to Mr.. Dalzell, and it was
glorious address that followed. Mr.. Dalzen
first paid tribute to the late Captain Jones,
whose memory, he said, would be fragrant
forever, This touched the hearts of his fol-
lowers at Braddock, and he had them SPELL
bound through his eloquent remarks that
followed. In 1858, he said, there were 100
Republican clubs In this Common ealth,
when the suggestion was offered that ma
tfonal league should be established, and the
following year, there were 1000 clubs
throughout the Union. The idea was that
there should be q club for every voting pre-
cfnct. In his Judgment five clubs, with 20
members each, had more strength than one
club with 100 members. At the last Conven-
tion of Republican Clubs 212 clubs were all
that were in existence. One-half of these
were from four eastern counties. When the
idea was suggested to him that he become a
candidate for the Presidency, it was with
the understanding that there would be no
contest. He said that while he was in the
fight to stay, ne would never have entered
the contest had he known that such tussle
was to follow.
The question to be decided now, Mr.. Dal-
Presidency, but whether the minority at the
clared that they shall not, aad that 1t was
ing, IN unbroken column, with victory
pinned to their banners.
Mr.. Dalzell declared himself in favor of
the State ticket, and said: "If we are true to
ourselves we must win" Mr.. Dalzell, in
ciples of his party, saying that it was the
party of such eminent statesmen as Harri-
son, Reed and Mckinley and that peerless
statesman, James G. Blaine. At the sound
Of the names OF Mckinley and Blaine his
hearers nearly went wild.
Addresses were made by Mr.. .Luckey, Sheriff
McCandless, Mr.. Wood. Captain Whalen and
others. There were ten clubs represented.

COULDN'T STAND HIS TEARS.
Mrs. Susanna Welsh Complains Against Hel
Husband, but Forgives Him.

MRS. susanna welsh Complains Against Her
Husband, but Forgives Him.
Mrs. Susanna Welsh, frail little woman,
80 years old, entered the office of the Anti
Cruelty Society yesterday afternoon and
asked Agent Dean to protect her from her
husband. She keeps o boarding house at
No. % De Sofa street, and with an additional
income of s23 per month from a piece of
property has managed to live comfortably
as widow, her first husband being dead.
Recently she met Welsh and, falling in love,
married him.
The day after the marriage, she said, he
demanded that her property be given to
him She declined, and from that date she
claimed she has been subjected to all kinds
OF abuse. He broke her organ. the table
ware and the furniture. Wednesday night
he drove her out of the house.
Mrs. w elsh just finished this narrative
when she observed her husband standing on
the opposite side of the street. Agent J. A.
Sweeny was sent across and brought him
into the Office. He was told of the COM
plant and began to cry like child. He said
he was guilty of all the charges but sincere
ly sorry. He then caught his wifes hand
and pledged himself to good life and
swore that he would never act so again. His
wife remained firm and he then pleaded
with Mr.. Dean not to send him "out in the
cold world without friends or money. Mr..
Dean remarked that it would not be Gin a
cold world, but in the workhouse."
Agent Sweeny was appealed to, and also
declined to interfere. Welsh then with
tragic dignity said: "It's all up. Take me
to the workhouse." At this hfs wife COM
menced to cry, and a reconciliation followed
that set all in the office laughing.

NOT A HAPPY COUPLE.
Mr.. and Mrs. Meldrum Have . Lively Do.
mestic Spat on the Street.

Mr.. and Mrs. Meldrum Have . Lively Do
mestic Spat on the Street.
There was quite an excitement on Sixth
street last night just after the close of the
BUou performance. A big crowd was
greatly edited by the loud conversation be-
tween a husband and wife. Mrs. Matte
Medium, of Bloomfield, came out of the
theater with tall, well dressed and rather
good-looking young man. They had reached
the corner of Penn avenue ON their way to
car when James Meldrum, the husband of
the woman, a short, understood man, came
after and caught up to them. He began to
upbraid his wife in loud voice for being in
the company Of the young man, who, at the
first sound, had made his escape in the
crowd.
Mrs. Meldrum stopped short and defended
herself in an equally loud tone, much to the
edification of a large audience that quickly
gathered, and the couple were indulging in
some very racy "reminiscences of the four
years Of married life, when Detective Nc
Tighe came along and arrested them both
for disorderly conduct and took them to
Central station.
There Mr.. Meldrum. who gave his resi-
dence at 1916 Yew street and his occupation
as tailor, detailed a long story of connubial
infelicity to the sergeants, while Mrs. Mel
drum, who gave her residence on Thirty
fourth street, told her side of the story to
the police matrons. The police magistrate
will probably have to listen to it all at the
hearing this morning.

half, Thomas Condry, alias Eggie Conroy,
has been captured. He is wanted for the
murder of Mrs. Paul Rudert, at Tarentum,
December 2S, 1889. His capture recalls the

About ; o'clock last evening Detectives
Fitzgerald and Shore were walking along
Spring alley, when they met Condry at the
intersection of Slocum's alley near Twelfth
street. They at once recognized him. On
account of his reputation and being large,
powerful man, the detectives stepped up
close TO him before addressing him, so that
if he made any move toward escape or at
tack they would have the advantage. But
he made no attempt to do either, and when
told he was wanted, went along quietly.

CALLS IT A sCURvY TRICK.
Cleveland After a Man Who Changed His
Autographs at Homestead.

Word came from Homestead last night
that two men had been going about the
town to different places where the bills of
the W. S. Cleveland minstrel company were
posted, and put at the bottom of them small
bills with the words Homestead Opera
House, Saturday, August s9.'' They also en-
gagged the Opera House for Saturday night.
The Cleveland MINISTRIES are now at the
Duquesnc Theater in this city, and will be
here tomorrow night. Manager Cleveland
was seen last night about the matter. 1t was
the first intimation he had received of the
matter.
81 will go to Homestead early tomorrow
morning, or will send some one," said he.
81 imagine this is some scurvy trick per-
formed by an enemy of myself or the Du-
Quesne Theater to keep away some of our
attendance. L will certainly investigate the
matter and bring the scroundels to justice
The W. S. Cleveland minstres will play
nowhere in Pennsylvania Saturday night,
except at the Duquesne. Ny other COM
pauy is at Louisville"

LET ToFF AT WOOD STREET.
A Man With jag Accommodated by a
Conductor.

An intoxicated man had a rocky time of It
trying to get to Oakland last night. He
boarded q Fifth avenue car at Grant street,
and, growing too obstreperous, was fired
from the car at Dinwiddie street.
He climbed onto the first car that
came along. This happened to be
coming toward the city, but he knew
nothing of the points of the compass, ana
settled down in the corner. The conductor
asked him "where he wanted of" and he
replied Atwood streesh."
When the car arrived at Wood street the
conductor proceeded to bundle him out of
the car, but he stoutly resisted, insisting
that this isn't Atwood street."
"Yes you are at Wood street, said the
conductor. "You said you wanted off at
Wood street. and here you are. Pile out,
now"
