UNDER THE WHEELS.

Another Traction Fatality-A 5-Year-Old
Son of W. III. Cochrape Ground to Death
on Center Avenue-A Sickening Sight
The Motorman Arrested.
Another victim was added to the long list
of traction road fatalities yesterday. This
time an innocent 5-year-old boy, in the full
bloom of rosy health, was caught under the
wheels and in the twinkling of an eye his
life was crushed out and only the manglcd
and bleeding clay remainded to be carried
home to the loving parents:
Shortly before o'clock last evening Roy
Cochrane son of w. II. Cochrane, Treasurer
OF the Bindley Hardware Company, was
riding on the: rear end of wagon passing
along Center avenue toward the city. At
the intersection of Cypress street, upon
which the little fellow lived, he jumped
from the wagon to go home, not noticing the
Duq9esne traction car. No; 81, coming at
as little Roy stepped to the east-bound track,
and almost before the motorman had seen
him, he was struck by the car, and in an
Instant was ground to pieces under the
wheels.
The effect of passing over the little body
was such that, combined with the applica-
tion of the brakes the car was brought to
standstill before it had passed entirely over
and 1t was necessary to send for hydraulic
lifting machine to the Craig street car barn
before the body could be extricated. Fully
20 minutes elapsed before it was released.
The car was full of passengers at the time of
the accident, and the sight of the mangled
body as it was drawn from under the car
brought tears to the eyes of all.
DR.. Camp examined the child and said
death had been instantaneous. The skull
had been crushed like an egg shell, and both
legs were badly mangled and broken. The
body was removed to the home of the
parents, at Baum and Cypress streets, and
the Coroner was notified The motorman,
William Quasi, was arrested, but was suDse-
quently releasedbn 81, 600 bail for appearance
at the Coroner's inquest.

Duquesne Traction Company, is quoted as

simply to force other stockholders of the

a withdrawal of the suit, and that failing in
this he will not press the matter any fur

IN N'KINLEY's TERRITORY.
A Hot Fight on for tho Next Congress
sional Nomination.


sional Nomination.
Thomas r. Morgan, of the Morgan En-
gfneering Company and the Solid Steel Com
pany, of Alliance, o., was in Pittsburg yes
terday. Mr.. Morgan is n candidate for Con-
gress in Major McKinley's district. General
Asa Jones and Judge King, of Youngstown,
o., are also candidates in the same
district. The fight in the district is
already at fever heat. All the
candidates are endeavoring to have the
district changed to suit their own purposes.
Morgan is anxious to have Mahoning county,
including Youngstown, cut OFF from the dis
trict to dispose OF the other candidates for
the nomination. Jones and King are equally
anxious to get out of the old Mckinley dis
trict. They want Mahoning county at
tached to Ashtabula county, which was
formerly General Garfields district and has
q round Republican majority and would in
a pleasant way dispose of Morgan and his
opposition for the nomination.
Morgan employs about 900 men. and is
ways been a substantial financial supporter
of Governor Mckinley, whose aid he expects
to have in the Congressional contest. Nor
gan's friends are not entirely satisfied with
his Congressional aspirations. They are
fearful that his election to Congress would
take from him his heavy government con-
tracts. ALL features being considered,
the Congressional fight in Major Nc
Kinley's old district Is said to be one of the
most interesting in the Buckeye State.

WITHOUT OPPOSITION.
Ex-Governor Porter Says That Is the
Way Harrison Will Be Named.
THE REASONS FOR THIS BELIEF.
He Thinks That Western Man Will Re the
Choice of the nemOcrats.
ITALY in A VERY QUIET CONDITION

Ex-Governor Porter, of Indiana, now
United States Minister to Italy, who has
been in Pittsburg for couple of days, left
on the limited last night for his home in
indianapolis. Minister Porter is dignified
looking old gentleman. His closely cropped
whiskers and his hair are white as chalk.
His cheeks are flushed with a health glow
and his general appearance indicates that
macaroni, Italian style, is decidedly agree
able to him.
CT am going home to rest" the e1-Gov-
ernor said. 81 am quietly awaiting orders.
In Italy everything is quiet and orderly.
The King is decidedly popular and the peo-
pie are contented. The relations between
our Government and the Government of
Italy are of the most friendly character. 1
have been treated kindly and with consider
alton"
"Will President Harrison be renomi-
nated?" was asked.
"Certainly," the Ex-Governor replied,
evidencing world of confidence and hope.
'He has no opposition for the nomination"
his Minister to Italy continued. 'T think
he will be named as the Republican candi-
date on the first ballot. Indiana has already
instructed for him and soon other States
will follow the example set by his own
State. President Harrison's administration
has been safo and conservative. 1t has de-
manded respect at home and abroad. The
country has been content and satisfied and
there is not likely to be any real opposition
to his denomination"
"Who will the Democrats nominate for
PRESIDENT" was asked.
81 think the Democrats will be compelled
to go West for their candidate. The condi-
tion of Democratic politics in New York
would seem to take both Cleveland and Hill
out of the fight There are few other availa-
Bile candidates in the East. Of course
Whitney of New York, and Abbott, of New
Jersey, are spoken of as Presidential timber,
but they are not likely to get directly in the
way of the Presidential lightning. Either
Palmer, of Illinois, Boies, of Iowa,
or Gray, of Indiana, is more likely to be
named. All of these are good, clean men.
1t looks now as though Gray is to be placed
on the ticket either at the head or at the
TAIL"
"Can Gray carry Indiana against Har-
rison?"
81 don't know. Both men are popular in
their State anc the State Is decidedly close
in Presidential contests. In State contests 1
think the Republicans have trifle the best
of it, but in Presidential fights either party
can carry the State if the issue is popular
with the people,"

Frank Gerade, who dashed his daughters
brains out on a bedpost, is the only muir
derer in this county whose neck does not
seem to be pretty safe from the execution
ers rope. A telegram from Harrisburg yes
terdsy announced that Governor Pattison
had commuted to life imprisonment
the sentence of Rusnok and Sabol,
the Braddock rioters, who were
condemned to death for the murder
of Michael Quinn. Warden McAleese
notified the prisoners yesterday afternoon
and they wept for joy. Andrew Todt who
had been convicted of the same crime, but
whose sentence was comInuted some months
ago, has been kept at the Jail with his COM
panions but now they will all be transferred
to the peniten tiary.
Murderer Fitzpatrick was visited at the
Jail yesterday by his attorney, who held out
to him the possibility of securing pardon
or commutation to life imprisonment. This
had the effect of Frightening the murderer
up somewhat and he changed his wish for an
early execution to one for hope that his life
may be spared.
