THE Ohio Penitentiary is full to over
flowing. Warden Dyer, on taking an
inventory of his stock found that he
had 1701 prisoners under his charge.
This is greater number than at any
previous time, except once in 1879,
when there were 1889 men in prison.
There was no parole law then. Includ-
ing 141 prisoners out on parole, are
now under the Jurisdiction of the
Warden 1842 prisoners. A large num-
Der Of them are sleeping in the corri-
dors on cots, as the capacity of the
prison is only 1876.

sUNsTROKE AND SUICIDE,

The story of George H. Sistare's suicide
yesterday in the Manhattan Club, New
York. as told in another column, is pecu-
liar in several respects. So far as can be
aScertained, the reasons for the act were
extreme heat acting on physique which
had never recovered from sunstroke ten
or twelve years ago, and temperament
rendered desperate by poverty and inabil-
ity to secure employment 1t is a pitiable
spectacle to see a man fifty years of age
and once well off in the worlds goods
without means of subsistence and unable
to secure employment of the only kind he
knew, because his brother had failed in
such manner as to have several civil and
one criminal suit brought against him to
cast shadow on his name.
There is no moral to be drawn from the
incident. II is just the way the world
wags 1t would be as much or little to the
purpose to point ont the evils of carrying
firearms in this connection as to advise
all men to keep cool and avoid sunstrokes.
Another life has gone out of the rush and
tumble of the world, to seek rest else
where and, despite its late owners well
known name, the fact will soon be forgot
ten as the waters of busy humanity roll
over the spot and leave no sign Of the
tragedy.

PITTSBURG, FRIDAY. JULY .. 1892.
TWELVE PAGES
CONGRESSIONAL DELAY.

Congress is paying severe penalty for
the lack of sense in the rules which 1t
adopted, no less than for the folly of indi-
vidual Instructors who are taking advan-
tage thereof. If Congress were the only
stiferer for session prolonged into the
season of high temperatures, the nation
would be able to stand by and enjoy the
amount of shade at its disposal while the
law makers writhe in discomfort on this
bed of their own making. But the nation
is unfortunately to some extent sufferer
with the causers of the trouble. Besides
the feeling of added security which comes
with the evacuation of the capitol, there
is in this case an additional reason for
wishing to see the business of the session
concluded.
The sundry civil appropriation bill is
unpassed and, unless it pass before an
adjournment, the postofice and other
departments would be so crippled as to
cause very serious Inconvenience to public
business. 1t is therefore practically i'm
possible to adjourn before sending this
bill to the President But in this bill is
included the item providing for S., ,eoo, 900
appropriation to the Worlds Fair, and it
is that which blocks the way On the one
side is majority of the House backed by
the greater part of the nation demanding
that the Fair receive aid from the Ma
tional Treasury to some reasonable
amount, either as loan or gift, In order
that the national credit-pledged before
the world to the success of the under
taking-may be kept inviolate. On the
other hand is a strong minority with
little or no encouragement from
the people, and actuated by desire to
balance unnecessary log-rolling appropri-
ations by the so-caIled economy of pro-
hibiting necessary expenditure, or in
some cases simply by petty local jealousy.
In the meantime there is good deal of
uneasness among the public owing to the
uncertainty and large amount of incon-
venience among legislators due to unneces-
sary delay and time wasting tactics.

4 FIGHT BETWEEN SNAKES.

Two Monstrous Re ptiles Waee Fierce Bat
tie Unto Death.
NEW YORK, July 2S.-A king snake, ten feet
long, and q rattlesnake. six feet long,
thoughtlessly left in the same box in Donald
Burns animal store, No. 1l5 Roosevelt street.
had q fight last night which ended in the
death OF the rattlef.
The king snake belongs to- the family of
constructors, and its squeeze is great deal
worse than its bite. The king is said to have
an instructive hatred for the rattler.
Mr.. Burns was taking a nap in his store,
when he was awakened by the peculiar sound
of the rattlesnake's vibrant tail and the loud
kissing of both reptiles. He found the rat
tier coiled In a corner of the cage, its head
darting back and forth, and watching for a
chance to strike its larger enemy. The king
snake was gliding cautiously nearer with
the intention Of twining its muscular coils
around the rattler and crushing 1t to death.
The rattlesnake made it's spring, but was
unsuccessful in its attempt to bury its fangs
in the king. Next moment the ribs of Its
wrtthing body began to crack as the king
snake coiled about the rattler and began to
contract its own powerful muscles. In its
desperate struggles the rattlesnake knocked
the door OF its box into pieces with blow
of his tail, and both reptiles fell out on the
floor.
Burns didn't care to take part in the quar-
rel. He summoned an assistant and finally
got the victor into q bag. The fight had
lasted but Is minutes. The rattler was dead
and the king snake appeared to be un-
harmed,

A DOGS BRAVE DEED.
Il Saves the Life of Child but Is Ground

Il Saves the Life of child but Is Ground
to Many Pieces.
CLEVELAND, July ga crowd OF people
stood around and jostled each other to OBJ
tain a glimpse OF dogs mangled body as 1t
lay beside the Nickel Plate Railroad track
at the Root street crossing, last evening. A
few minutes earlier q group OF children
were crossing the track. Among them was
a 3-year-old toddler, and at his side walked
the dog, keeping q watchful eve on his little
master.
A switch engine on its way to the city
was rapidly approaching the children when
they were half way over the crossing. At
the same moment q freight train, west-bound,
approached on the other track. For q min
ute the children paused irresolutely, and
them and safety-all but the 3year-old
child, who was con fused by the approach of
the two trains at once, and who remained in
the path of the switch engine, now very
close at hand. The dog barked loudly but
did not stir from his little masters side. An
older brother snatched the child from in
front of the engine just in the nick of time,
and the faithful brute was struck by the
engine, knocked under the VIII cells OF the
other train, and in q second was cut to
pieces.
The dog, which was the property of a
member of the Leader staff was a nearly
thoroughbred st. Bernard and was a very
intelligent animal, being devoted to his
almost human care and in whose services
he was killed. The olders boys attention
was attracted by the dogs bark, and he was
thus enabled to save his little brothers lie.

NEW PICTURE OF C0LUMBUS
It Is Very Artistic and Has Been Und

It Is Very Artistic and Has Been Under
Work for Two Years.
NEW YORK, July 2s.-Courteous invitations
were issued yesterday to the critics Of the
press by Mr.. Frederick Danton to view his
huge canvas, 1.-THE Apotheosis OF Christie
pher Columbus" which will be one of the
artistic features of the Chicago Worlds
Fair. The canvas is l0x12 feet, and the
study of the apotheosis Is almost Ruben
esoue in its olearness.
Columbus IS sitting in a chair of gold and
yellow satin, posed upon a luminous cloud,
which contrasts we'll with his court suit of
dark velvet. He is crowned with laurel, and
his right hand rests lightly on a globe, his
relaxed foref1nger pointing to the scene of
his discovery. His face is strong and noble
in repose, deeply scanned with care and anx-
through his eyes. The handling of the flesh
tints and the texture of the velvet and satin
shows the true artistic touch which Danton
possesses.
Opposite Columbus just emerging from
the Temple of Science, is Col um bia a girl
ish figure, which hands a wreath of red,
white and blue immortelles to the great dis
coverer. In the foreground are the trophies
of wealth and prosperity.
On the extreme lower left-hand corner is a
vignette' representing the island OF San Sal
ts view of great city, indicative Of
growth and thrift.
Mr.. Danton is an American, though of
French parentage. He is pupil of Horace
Vernet. 1t has taken him two years to
paint the picture.

DEMOCRATIC uNXN1M1rY.

Surely there has never been politicai
party more wanting in homOgeneity than
the Democratic party of this campaign.
Turn where he will, the observer cannot
fail to be overwhelmed with signs OF in
congruity. At the head of the ticket is
man whose strongest characteristic has
hitherto been claimed to lie in the force OF
his convictions, and his superiority to the
men who seek to serve their country only
to enrich themselves. Side by side with
him stands a man whose only claim to
public reputation is found in most pro-
nounced record as spokesman. Then the
platform pledges itself against free coin
age and in favor of return. to the State
bank system, while those whose allegiance
it demands appear to regard themselves as
entirely unbound by the party creed on
both questions.
But after all the utmost bitterness is
found in the schisms prevalent in the
Empire State. Tammany did all it could
to defeat the nominee at Chicago, and, in
return, the nominees supporters glowed
with enthusiasm in denouncing the wicked
corruption of these opponents. But now
the nominees friends are groveling before
Tammany in their endeavors to secure the
power of its machine, while it in its turn
is anxious to grant the needed support,
only in the meantime seeking the best
terms to be obtained by the hardest bar
gain to be driven. Again, the august
Sun almost lost its dignity in pouring out
its contempt on the nominee before the
nomination, while it has made itself
more foolish since in its frantic
efforts to support the party in
its own peculiar way by removing the Is
sue from the stern reality of free trade
versus protection to the imaginary phan-
tom of white supremacy as opposed to
negro domination. Truly the Democratic
party is wonderful aggregation of indi-
viduals bound together only by the ties of
a united desire for Office, powerful enough
to sink all such pretty details as principles
of government upon which the national
welfare depends.
