The Philadelphia Inquirer. Tuesday, says.
A novel and interesting dispute arising
from the decided conflict of Delaware and
Pennsylvania laws on the rights of mar
ried women will shortly be argued before
common pleas court No. /. The woman
i'll the case was a party to n mortgage
executed in this state but delivered in Del
aware and now falls back on the plea that
her action was void under Pennsylvania
law, while the other side, represented by
Lawyer A. ID. Harrington, insists on the
strict observance of contract and all conse-
Quences arising therefrom. because 1t was
entirely legal in the State of Delaware.
Under the Married Woman's act of 1887
the present contingency could not have
arisen, but it was in November, 1885, prior
to the passage of the law that Mrs. Sallie
s. Birchall, living near Ogontz, bought a
farm near Dover, Delaware, from Chester
Baum, giving as part of the purchase
money a Judgment bond and third mort
gage for 1864, in which her husband,
Henry G. Birchall, joined. The bond was
signed at her home but delivered at Dover,
where the Birchalls soon moved ana re-
sided for is months before returning to
this state.
After leaving the farm they continued to
pay the interest on the mortgage for two
years. Subsequently the farm was sold
for an amount that was insufficient to
wipe out the mortgage against it. The
bond was then brought to this city, where
it was entered against Mr.. and Mrs.
Birchall, and damages were assessed for
the balance due ON it.
The effort now being made by Mrs.
Birchall's attorneys is on rule taken to
open the Judgment against her on the
ground that the law OF Pennsylvania at
the time she signed the mortgage provided
that a married wonian's bond executed
and delivered in the state is void.

Somewhere else, Probably Cincinnati.
WAsHIs6ToN, Nov. 9.--The Presidents
friends on the national committee will
advocate either Omaha or Minneapolis as
the place for holding the national conven-
tion when the committee meets here, two
weeks from to-day, unless the President
changes his mind. AT present he strongly
prefers either of those towns to Chicago OF
Cincinnati, the only other places likely to
be seriously considered, for San Francisco,
with its limited telegraph facilities for
newspapers east of the Rockies, is regarded
as out of the question.
If the President is forced to choose be.
tween Chicago and Cincinnati he will take
Cincinnati. He has not forgotten the hos
tility of the Chicago papers in 1888, when
his representatives at the convention could
not get Harrison news into the Chicago
papers, even when they offered 10 pay
advertising rates for its publication,
especially as he has now only one really
friendly newspaper there.
The fact that Cullom is candidate, and
Gresham dark horse also deters him.
Cincinnati he regards as better, because
there is no local candidate and because
McLeans two Blaine papers, although the
only morning rapers, are not influential.
lie recognizes the fact that all Foraker's
influence with the Republican rowdies of
Cincinnati would be against him; but, he
thinks even so, Cincinnati is preferable to

DOM PEDRo's GRANDSON.
Not Far From Brazil, and Ready to
Come If Wanted.

toine ii wanted.
A Rio Janeiro cablegram to the New
York Herald says: 1t is reported here to-
day that Augusta, one of tile grandsons OF
Dom Pedro, the ex-emperor Of Brazil, and
an officer in the Austrian navy, is on
board corvette which is expected to ar
rive here in n few days.
The rumor has increased the excitement
that was caused by the dissolution of con
gress and President Fonsecas proclaiminp
himself dictator. Fonsecais followers
make use of it to Justify his recent acts
and say that It proves his statement thai
the enemies Of the republic have been en-

Prince Pedro Augusta is the eldest son
OF Dom Pedro's younger daughter, Leo
poldina, WHO married Prince August, OF
the house. OF Haxe-Coburg. She died An

Jose and d,ulz. Augusta was born near
Rioin March,. 1866.
He is nine years the senior Of Prince
Pedro, the oldest son of the Princess

Of Count d Eu. Dom Pedro looked upon
Augusta until 1875 as his heir presumptive
Augusta was the favorite grandson Of the
aged emperor, whose only sons died re

after her. marriage Ysabel had no chi,

saThese facts are all well known to Bra
zilians, and the republicans consequently
have taken alarm at the reported approach

he has been selected to lead the imperialisi
rising because of his naval training, his
age, the sentiment the old emperor felt for
him, and the affection the Brazilian nation
entertained for him years ago on that ac-
count.

18th year, and could hardly be expected ia

SENATOR GRAR.s FLEW.
Hs Thinks the Result of the Elections
Fail of Encouragement for Democrats

FAN of Encouragement for Democrats.
To correspondent of the New York
Times Senator Gray expressed himself
upon the result of the recent elections, as
follows
~ think the general result of the cleo
tons last Tuesday is full of encourage
ment for Democrats. The victories in New
York, Massachusetts,, New Jersey, and
Maryland were won on distinctly national
issues They insure harmonious party
IN 1892, with the tariff issue in front and a
platform of sound Democratic principles.
Questions on which the party cannot unite
will be shut out.
THE gallant fight made by Gov. Camp.
bell in Ohio deserved success and made us
almost hope for victory in that Republican
state. But it was against heavy odds. The
Democratic platform was unfortunate In
its declaration on the silver question, and
that and some local troubles seem to have
handicapped the governor from the start.
Besides, with Mckinley as the Republican
candidate, the party could not afford to
have him beaten, and every selfish interest
for whose sake the Mckinley bill has
levied tribute on the people doubtless felt
called upon to stand by him.
THE path for Democratic success in
1892 has been blazed by the results of
Tuesday, and nothing but uncomfortable
folly can turn the party out Of it,

sHERMAN In DANG Ell.
Foraker Has Backing That May Land
Him in a Senatorial Seat.

+. A. Burr in the Philadelphia Times.
COLUMBUS, Nov. 9.-The complications
in Ohio multiply. The election of Mr..
Mckinley does not settle tho controversies
in this remarkable political state. Men
seem born here TO hold public office and
the clamor for place is almost beyond
understanding. That is exactly why Mr..
Mckinley went to New York Immediately
after the elect y. Probably no man who
has been elected to the gubernatorial chair
will be so set upon as this new success.
But over and beyond all office-seeking
comes the senatorial question. in which
there is more national interest than in any
political event for the past 20 years. 1t Is
difficult for an outsider to catch the real
situation. and the general public have re-
garded Senator Sherman's position as
fixed, and that he would be returned to
the Senate for the sixth time.
SHERMAN IN DANGER.
But there is no Disgusting the fact that
he is in danger. The stroke may not be
fatal, but Ex-Governor Foraker has fol-
lowing that will need to be looked after
by the friends of Mr.. Sherman. Up to
this hour have not regarded the ex-gnv-
ernor as a serious candidate. but the
evidences multiply that he intends 20
make fight to the finish. Ii this be true,
there will be music, for he has following
that IS not easy to down. 1t is composed
of the young men Of the Republican
party who have succeeded to the control of
the local organizations.
Governor Foraker still denies that he Is
a candidate. but if that be true he has
some remarkable friends 1t is remark
able fact that many of the leading Repub-
lcan newspapers are for Foraker. notably
the Cincinnati Conlmerciai- Gazette, which IS
owned. by Mclean, and the Toledo Bidde
and other papers. In fact, good proper
ton of the newspaper end of the contro-
versy is for the younger man.
This may seem strange to the outside
world, but it must be remembered that
Mr.. Foraker occupies u most unique posi-
ton in political life He is very diff
ferent character of man from Mr.. Sher-
man, who is so far removed from the
ordinary that he becomes the ideal of his
friends. Mr.. Foraker is of the present
day, and the young men of this generation
are warm with him. The stronger senti-
ment of the state is for Mr.. Sherman's re-
election, but the boys are fof Mr.. Foraker.
The ex-governor will be in this city to-
morrow. and then there will be some new
revelations that will mean much to the
future of this contest.

SL.1lN BY DYNAMITE.
Three Victims Dying and Many Others arc

a few minutes before that time Mr.. Nc
Williams, the proprietor of the Mama
kagon hotel, saw flames bursting from the
North Wisconsin Lumber Company's
warehouse. He shouted the alarm, and
with others rushed to the burning build
ing. They had just reached the front of
the warehouse when terrible explosion
within completely shattered the building
and the flying timbers were hurled in
every direction.
Fred. Nebon was hit in the head by
huge beam and half the scalp removed.
His skull was crushed and the brains pro-
truded. He cannot live more than an hour
or two. The others in the vicinity were
hurled through the air and half dozen
were carried into the hotel few minutes
later.
The fire caught from a stove in the office
located in the northwest end of the long
warehouse. A lot of dynamite was stored
near the Office. The explosion broke all
the glass in the neighborhood and did con-
siderable damage.
A freight train standing on the side
track was blown off the rails, and the
caboose, standing near the shattered ware
house, was almost completely demolished.

DROWNED IN LAKE.
The Youngest Sister of Lord CIoncurry
Meets n Sad, Mysterious Death.

Meets SAD, mysterious Death.
DUBLIN, Nov. 10.-A sad affair is re-
ported from Mas, county Kildare, nine
miles southwest of this city. the seat of
Lord Cloncurry, which is situated near
Mas. The mansion is situated on extern
sive grounds, and one of the beauties of
the place is quite an extensive lake.
To-day while some of the keepers were
walking along the shores of the lake they
saw something in the water which attracted
their attention and procuring suitable i'm
plements they dragged the object which
proved to be body, ashore. Their was
great CONSERVATION when, upon landing
the body and examining it, they found It
to be that of the Hon. Rose Lawless,
youngest sister of Lcrd Cloncurry.
The family was Immediately notified Of
the finding Of the body and the remains
were tenderly removed to the house of her
brother. No further details have been re-
ccived, and it is matter of conjecture as
to how the unfortunate lady met her death.
The family of Cloncurry is all old Irish
ore. The Irish baronetcy was created in
1I76 and in 1881 the holder of the title was
made baronet of the united kingdom.
