The Governors proclamation really
bears on the Sheriff more than it does
the city officials, they not being subject
to suspension by the Governor. Sheriff
Bean this afternoon was in consultation
with Attorney W. II. Sanborn, and he
says that what his lawyer tells him is
his legal duty that he will do.
There is appointed by the anti-fght
mass meeting a committee of fifteen to
engineer the opposition to the fight, and
this committee will call on the Sheriff
in the morning to learn what he pro-
poses to do.
Notwithstanding the organized and
strong opposition to the fight, it seems
certain that it will come off as an
nounced. The principals in the fight
will undoubtedly be arrested when they
appear in the ring. but will at once give
bonds for their appearance, and the
fight will proceed without further inter-
ruption.
The betting on the contest wavers.
Hall partisans and Fitzsimmons parti-
sans may be found at every corner, but
with few exceptions odds are not given
on either man.

STABBED BY HIS RIVAL.
A Rejected sultor's Jealousy eliminates
in Crime

WHITE HAVEN, PA, July 21.-A sem
satiOnal stabbing affray in which a girl
figures, occurred at Fairview on Satur-
day night. Fairview is small village
situated near the summit OF the Wilkes
barre Mountain, and is neighboring
settlement to Glen Summit, popular
summer resort. Miss Annie Stout, over
whom the quarrel began, is handsome
and prepoSSessing girl of 20, and has a
number of admirers. Last week she
came on a visit from her home at Solo
mons Gap, an adjoining town, to her
cousins, Frank SearfOSs, at South Fair
view.
Among those who paid Miss Stout
marked attention was George Allie
bOugh, a brakeman from PenObScOt, and
William Heislop, another resident of the
mountain village. These young men
soon became spirited rivals for the girls
hand. Although evidently did not
meet with favor from Miss Stout, as she
was more frequently in the company Of
HeislOp. 1t is said that Alliebough, be-
coming impatient to know his fate,
made a proposition of marriage TO Miss
Stout and was rejected. He did not
take her reply as final, however, and
continued his attention with the hope of
yet winning his suit or at least prevent
ing the success of his rival.
Becoming finally convinced that his
prospects were very poor, he awaited an
opportunity to square matters with
Heislop. The opportunity came on
Saturday last. Miss Stout announced
her intention Of returning to her home
at Solomon's Gap. Early In the evening
young HeiSlop called at the SearfoSS
residence fer the purpose Of escorting
Miss Stout to her home. While the
lovers were in the parlOr, previous TO
starting out, Heislop sat down at the
piano, and while playing was suddenly
interrupted by the entrance of Allie
bOugh.
The man wore a very wild look and
evidently was much excited. The young
girl. becoming alarmed, attempted to
run from the room. He sprang before
her. then turning his attention to HeiS-
lOp who was still at the piano with his
hand on the keys, uncermOniously de-
manded what he was doing. Heislop
was too much astOniShed to realize his
meaning, and before he could offer an
explanation or move to defend himself
Alliebough sprang upon him and
stabbed him repeatedly with large
dirk-knife. The infuriated man slashed
his helpless victim repeatedly about the
face and shoulders until, becoming ex-
hausted, he fell in faint to the floor.
In the meantime Miss Stout ran
screaming for assistance. When 1t ar
rived Heislop was found unconscious
upon the floor with blood flowing from
half dozen wounds. No trace OF Allie
bough could by this time be discovered,
he having fled to the mountains. After
beinr taken to his home the injured
man regained consciousness, but is In a
critical condition and grave fears for
his recovery are entertained.
A posse is in search OF the would-oe
murderer, but as yet no trace OF him
has been found.

had Man to Run Loose.

FALL RIVER, MASS, July 21.-Great
excitement was caused tonight by the
shooting Of Mary Powers, OF Lowell,
Mass, by DR.. Hawkins, an In
dian physician. Hawkins Is tall,
powerfully built man, who has
been drinking so hard recently
that he has become the terror OF per-
sons in the vicinity Of Rodman street.
About o'clock he ran into the road
brandishing revolver, and fired two
shots in quick succession. Miss Pow
ers, who is visiting here. was passing
along Second street, and the ball entered
her right foot. The wound is con-
sidered very serious, as the physicians
say there are many chances Of lock-jaw
setting in. The news OF the shooting
spread rapidly. and more than 1,500 peo-
pie soon gathered in the neighborhood
of the house. A squad OF policeman
quickly arrived and surrounded the
place, but would not enter for long
time, as Hawkins threatened TO shoot
them. Hawkins came here from the West
and is a dead shot. When Insane from
drink be straps a belt around him and
goes about brandishing long horse

THE ST. PAUL REREDos CASE.
A Contention Over Figures of the Saviour
and the Virgin Mary.

LONDON, July 21.-The famous St.
Paul's Cathedral Reredos case was dis
missed to-day in the Court Of Appeals
with costs against the appellants. This
was the appeal Of "Allcrofe and others"
against a decision Of the Bishop OF Lon
don, and has been a subject OF great
interest to churchmen and others since
the litigation was commenced In 1888.
The question raised was to the legality
of the figures in the reredes or wall at
the back of the altar OF st. Paul's Cath
edral, the contention Of the appellants
being that the sculptured figures OF our
Saviour and OF the Virgin Mary in the
reredos were calculated to encourage
superstition and to suggest unlawful
ideas OF devotion. The decision sustains
the Bishop, who held that this conten-
tion was not we'll founded, and conse-
quently insures the retention OF the fig
ures in the reredos.

Mexico as an Asylum

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 21.-On March
8, 1890, w. II. Pope, teller OF the City
National Bank, failed on Monday morn
ing to appear at his desk. When Presl-
dent Loeb opened the safe he found

on farm. He led double life. He is
a nephew of the wife of United States
Senator, and his family has always been
highly respected. Before leaving Louis
vile Pope talked with ex-Commissioner

tradition, and said Mexico was one Of
two countries whence embezzlers were
not extraditable. He said he had writ
ten to Senator Vance about it, and
Vance held that opinion.

SENATOR sHERaIAN's TALK
Before the Cincinnati Chamber OF Com
merce on the Issues OF the Day.

mcrC6 on the issues OF tno LAY.
CINCINNATI, O., July 21.-This after
noon at the close of Change hours Vice
President Brown and Sam j. Hale, OF
the Board of Directors Of the Chamber
of Commerce, escorted Senates Sher-
man into the Chamber. He was at once
called on for speech amid lusty ap-
plause.
In the course OF his remarks, he said:
81 want to say to you that all the issues
of the day are business issues. l am
not going to talk politics. But these
are issues that appeal to the business
man whether he be Democrat or Re-
publican. The mode of levying taxes will
always cause differences of opinion and
parties will always divide upon tho
question Of how shall money be raised
to support the government and so the
mode Of levying taxes interests you all.
Now the question is, is the way that
we have done it wise one? Take the
question of the development and pro-
lection of sugar. We are experiment
ing with the production of sugar by
means of beet as well as with cane.
There is the question Of tin. We have
a good deal about in tin horns and the
like. We consume about 600, 900
tons of tin. Now the tin Of
commerce is about 95 per cent iron, and
the question is to produce our own tin;
and we are experimenting to that end.
There is the question Of reciprocity
with nations. The special arrange
ments by which we can get articles
free, which we do not produce our
selves by reciprocating with other ma
tions on something which they cannot
produce. Reciprocity has been adop-
ted. So there you have the sugar ques-
ton, that of tin, reciprocity. And also
the question OF silver issue which
touches the pocket Of all business
men -

TROUBLE AT sTEELTON, PA.
Pennsylvania Steel Company Shuts Down
-Four Thousand Men Idle.

HARRISBURG, PA, July 21.-The stu
alton at Steelton tonight is one Of sus-
pense. What tomorrow will bring forth
nobody knows. Both sides are deter
mined to stand by their colors. The
Amalgamated Association is confident,
and the Pennsylvania Steel Company
declares It's unalterable determina-
tion to bar out any labor organization
from participating in its management.
Members Of the .Amalgamated Associa-
tion deny that there will be eany violenc
used in preventing men from going to
work tomorrow in the event OF the
steel company refusing to sign the
scale. There will be an effort, how
ever, to dissuade men from going TO
work until an agreement is reached.
Bessemer mill No. 3 shut down to-
night and one OF the two remaining
furnaces will be banked tomorrow
morning. The open hearth furnaces
closed this morning. Some people fear
further trouble tomorrow, but
Others say there is no reason
for apprehension. There is a
report tonight that the entire plant
will be shut down tomorrow until a
settlements of the pending difficulties is
reached. A committee of the Associa-
ton waited upon Major Bent, Presi-
dent of the steel company, this
afternoon, but received no encour-
agement. At II o'clock word came
from Steelton that the company has or
dered a shutdown of the entire plant,
and all the furnaces are being banked.
This action, it is said, was taken after
the company discovered that there
would not be sufficient men to continue
operations. Almost 1000 men are thus
made idle. The outcome Of the struggle
ia mathematical.
