AN OFFICIAL PICKLE.

Considerable Difficulty Experienced in
Legally Removing Cameron's Body.
Officer Bowers had great deal of
trouble in getting permit to remove
Cameron's body from the city yesterday.
DR.. Gray, the coroner, is sick and he
has deputized Squire Howerton to act
in his place. The Squire was too busy
to attend to the case, and it was neces-
sary to have DIR. Gray appoint someone
else.
Officer Bowers went to the doctors
house and got note from him desig-
mating Judge Williams to serve. The
judge viewed the body, and after OK
aiming the officer signed o permit to
remove it.
Later in the day Cameron's brother
and John Garst, who lived near Mrs.
Cameron at Mason's Cove, came to the
city and took charge of the remains.
An inquest was deemed unnecessary,
and the body was taken out of town.
The features of the dead were much
contorted yesterday morning, and the
face was red from the effects of tho
position in which he lay when found.

KEYSTONE REPUBLICANS
THE EVE OF AN INTERESTING
STATE CONVENTION.
Boss Quay and Chris Magee Bury the
Hatchet-Blaine to Be Endorsed for
President and Harrison Commended in
Mild Terms.

HARRIsBURa. Pa, August 18. --Ther
is much gossip concerning the Republi-
can convention which meets tomorrow.
Great numbers of politicians are in the
city, and the event of today was an ap-
parently friendly conference between
Senator Quay and Chris Magee,
the Pittsburg Republican leader. These
prominent politicians had not been to-
gether before since 1888. Magee says
his meeting with Quay was simply to
discuss Mylan's candidacy for auditor
general.
The platform to, be adopted tomorrow
will, it is learned, contain plank
strongly endorsing Secretary Blaine as
the most available candidate for the
presidency in 1892. The Mckinley bill
and reciprocity will also be endorsed, and
in connection with the latter, the Har-
rison administration will be mildly
commended. The platform Will favor
the free coinage OF silver to the extent
of taking care of the product of the
American mines. A tariff on foreign silver
sufficient to exclude it from competition
with native metal will be advocated.
1t is understood that Chairman An
drews will take Quay's place on the ma
tional committee.

An Angry Woman Administered the Pun
ishment-The Sensational Denouement
of Long Pending Family Quarrel.

CHICAGO, August 1S.-Today in a
crowded court room, Mrs. Edward Nc
Mahon horsewhipped millionaire and
his lawyer and then tainted in her hus-
bands arms. The millionaire was Peter
Smith, contractor, and the lawyer was
P. McHugh. The cause OF the assault
was the reading of deposition by a
Canadian detective, impugning Mrs. Nc.
Mahon's chastity.
The horse-whipping is the climax OF a
series OF sensations growing out of a
long standing family quarrel. Nc
Mahon's marriage some months
ago to his second wife, who created the
sensation today, was very displeasing to
his mother and sister-the latter, the
wife of millionaire Smith. McMahon's e
son had fortune Of $4,000. 1t was as
serted that the stepmother's chief OBJ
ject in marrying Mcmahon was to
obtain possession of this sum. McMa-
hon and wife on the one side, and his
mother, sister and Smith on the other,
had charged each other with
attempting little Milton's (the son's)
death by poison to prevent the opposing
parties from securing his custody, The
Canadian deposition read was in fur
therance OF legal fight by the Smith
faction.
Shortly after entering Judge Kohl
saat's courtroom today, Mrs. Nc
where Smith and McHugh
were sitting, and with a blacksnake
whip, before the astonished spectators
or bailiff could interfere, slashed Smith
and McHugh repeatedly across the face
and neck. Judge Kohlsaat took no
action in the matter, and intimated that
the child would not be given to either
faction.

A NOVEL SYNDICATE.
French Wine Growers Combine for Pro-
lection Against Phylloxera.

French Wine Growers Combine for Pro-
lection Against Phylloxera.
PARIS, August IA somewhat novel
syndicate has been formed at Epernay
in the department of Marne, the entire
pot for champagne wines which are
kept in vaults in the chalk hills, on
which the town is built. The members
OF the new syndicate are all wine grow
ers of Importance, and their association
is formed with the object of insuring it's
members against individual losses
through ravages of phylloxera, by COM
pensating losses through mutual SUBJ
scriptions.
A meeting to promote the object in
view, was held yesterday at
Epernay, attended by about 5000
members OF the syndicate. In
addition to other matters brought for
ward, the meeting discussed the adop-
tion Of means to protect the vineyards
against phylloxera. Just as decisive
vote in favor of this measure was upon
the point of being taken, there was a
hostile demonstration which nearly re-
suited in serious physical conflict.
A body of wine growers belonging to
the syndicate, but opposed to the taking
of any measure calculated to pro-
tect the vineyards from phyl-
loxera, noisily entered the hall
where the meeting was being held,
shouting to the full extent Of their
lungs: "There is no phyllexera; down
with the wine merchants 'e'
The newcomers, having previous to
their arrival upon the scene obtained
numerous and powerful voting powers
from members of the syndicate who
were unavoidably or Intentionally alb
sent, succeeded in turning the tide of
affairs against those who were
in favor OF protective measures,
stopped the vote about to be
taken in favor of that motion
and triumphantly elected committee
known to be uncompromisingly hostile
to preventive measures, such as, those
referred to.
The wine growers accuse the wine
merchants of inventing or manufacture
ing phylloxera scares, and oppose the
proposals of the minister of husbandry,
who is of the opinion that certain duly
qualified inspectors approved by the
syndicate and by the minister of
husbandry, should have the right to
enter all vineyards, even against the
will OF their proprietors, in order to
prevent the spread OF phylloxera, which
| the oppositionists claim does not exist
among the vineyards owned or con-
| trolled by members of the syndicate.
The association numbers %, 900 wine
growers among its members.

borer for his work. Therefore, in the
conduct of our public affairs, / feel
pledged for one, that all the influences
of the government should be on the side
of giving the people only good money,
and just as much of that kind as we can
get. lApplause.l
"We have this year most abundant
yes, an extraordinary-grain CROP"
President Harrison then referred to the
recent Russian ukase and the scarcity
of grain in France and England, saying
that all this country's surplus would
find market abroad, and that not only
would the gold heretofore exported be
returned, but would bring with it much
additional of its kind. After drawing
the conclusion that the Americans
should be happy people with such
prospects before them, he urged upon
them the necessity of exercising the
virtues OF patience, fIugality, love of
order, and to crown all, a great patriot
ism and devotion to the constitution
and law.
Prolonged applause greeted the close
Of his address, which was renewed as
the train left the city.

Compliments Exchanged by Their

PARIS. August 18.-The British Medi-
terranean squadron upon it's arrival at
Vile Franche, today, was received with
much pomp and ceremony by the French
war vessels there assembled. The latter
saluted the British flag and their bands
played God Save the Queen, as the
British ironclads anchored. In re-
turn the British admiral's flag
ship returned the salute and the bands
played the Marseillaise. To this compli-
ment the land batteries of Vile Franche
replied with a number of salutes, and
everybody was satisfied. Vile Franche
is profusely decorated with flags in honor
of the feet, and out of grateful recogni-
tion of England's efforts to give the

Mrs. Smith Was Surprised That Dana
Made Her "A Devisee.
The direct examination of +. G.. French,
attorney at law, was resumed yesterday for
the proponents in the Dana will contest.
and the witness testified that on Sunday,
July %, 1888, he and r. w. Burlis went TO
3l7 Mason street, the residence of Mrs John
son, the nurse, who told them that Mrs
Smith had been there and said that there
was package of papers at her house which
she was prepared to deliver to the proper
representatives Of Dama's estate. Finding
Mrs Smith, she presented the witness with
a package of papers done up in brown paper,
saying that the knot with which the pack
thread was tied would not be easily united.
as Dana had told her that he had tied it
with ''his peculiar knot"
Mr.. Burtis cut the string with his knife
taking from tie package yellow envelope
presented in evidence by the witness) en-
closing white one, the latter containing
the will in controversy, which was forth
with read aloud by BuTtis. After its read
ing, Mrs. Smith said: ",Hhis is a surprise to

without it, and wish he had left it to some
