TAMMANY TO. TRADE
Delegates to the Presidential !COnven-
ton in Order to Secure
ITS OWN CANDIDATE FOB MAYOR.
Hills Name Kissed at Fayette County's
Democratic Meeting.
QUAY's FRIEND VICTORIOUS IN BLAIR


rsrEcrAL rLLEGRAN TO THE DrsrArcH.t
NEW YORK, March 19.-The breach be-
tween the Hill and Cleveland factions in
this State is growing wider daily, and the
bolter convention at Syracuse, in May, is
fast becoming very serious affair. The
old politicians of both regarded the calling
of the convention as blunder, but they are
beginning to realize now that there is
deep feeling behind it and q vast number
Of Democratic voters as we'll
The preliminary organization work is
being done more systematically and thor
oughly than has ever been attempted in
independent movements of this sort-which
probably means that ex-Mayor William R.
Grace is at the helm. The boilers have
engaged 500 rooms at the Grand Pacific, in
Chicago, and will fill them with contesting
delegates and protesting Democrats.
Hill Couldn't Get the Votes.
The split really means that if Hill is
named for President by the National Con-
vention be will not poll the full Democratic
vote here. The Hill men declare this to be
all poppycock, claiming that the revolt is
confined to the Mugwump Democrats, and
that their man has won two
Governorships against the same
influences within his party, whereas Cleve-
land lost Presidency, though enthusiastic
ally backed by them. This, however, is not
quite true, for, while it is fact that the Mug
wumps have bitterly opposed Hill at every
point, there are abundant signs that he has
more than the Mugwumps against him now.
There are number of Democrats openly
committed to the Syracuse convention who
have always been, and are still, opposed to
Mugwumpism and Clevelandism
He must indeed be poor politician who
cannot see that the anti-Hill movement in
this State has substance and basis to it
that it never had before.
Tammany Ready for Trade.
1t is stated, on excellent authority, that
the Tammany bosses are looking around
for some one to throw the delegation
to after Hill has figured three
or four times in the ballot
ing. Croker, it is well known in inner cir
cles, is at heart against Hill. He doesn't
trust him, and if he could make bargain
with the leaders of the anti "snap" conven-
tion crusade to support the Tammany
Mayoralty ticket next fall, thus leaving
none but Republicans to oppose the wig
wan, he would undoubtedly leave Hill to
his fate as soon as the Tammany braves
reach Chicago.
The local ticket has always been dearer to
the Tammany heart than the Presidency, as
both Hancock and Cleveland learned to
their cost Add to that q decided distrust
of the man, and there is little room LETT for
faith in Tammany's loyalty to Hills Presi-
dental aspirations.

TWO ORANGES COST $500.
A Practical Joke Which Cost Four Com

A Practical joke Which Cost Four Com
mercial Travellers Very Dearly.
FRANKLIN, March 19.-[SpeaaL Five
hundred dollars for two oranges is a pretty
high price, but that is the figure that four
drummers paid. The case of A. B. Mayer
versus Thomas c. Craine was decided here
this evening by the jury returning verdict
for the defendant. Mayer had Craine ar
rested for false Imprisonment. Mayer and
three other commercial travellers were pas
sengers on an Erie train February Z, 1891,
when a young. man named Craine left q
package containing a few oranges in seat.
Returning q few moments later he dis
covered that the drummers had taken and
eaten his oranges.
After this the drummers commenced to
guy him. which angered Craine and when
the train arrived at Utica Craine stepped
off and notified the police in this city.
They were at the train when it arrived and
the four men were arrested on the charge of
larcency. They paid their fines and were
discharged Mayer brought the present
suit for false Imprisonment and was backed
by his three companions. Mayer SAYS the
case has cost him $500 and he was obliged
to pay the costs.

JoHNsTowN sAL00NIsTs IN A PANIC.
A Prohibition Judge May Be Called on to
Pass Upon Their Licenses.

A Prohibition Judge May Be Called on to
Pass Upon Their Licenses.
JoHNsTowN, March 19.-T Sneciaz. TO-
night it is reported that Judge Harry
White, of Indiana, Pa, will be called BY
Judge Barker to preside over the License
Court, which convenes Monday. Judge
Barker is somewhat indisposed and not likely
to be able to be out by that time. The bare
contingency that Judge White would be
called to consider their cases has set the
saloon keepers almost wild, as his opin-
ions on the liquor question in Indiana
county, where not single license is granted,
has been fully demonstrated. A. A. Barker,
the veteran Prohibitionist, has been in con-
ference with the temperance people for
nearly week, and was very busy to-day,
while the facts on which the temperance
people base their hopes is not proclaimed.
Barker, as we'll as his associates, have let it
be understood that there will be some great
surprises in store for the liquor men.
Another somewhat novel feature has been
introduced in this liquor campain. This is
the fact that the temperance people, in con-
nection with the ministers and church peo-
pie, have asked for special prayers for
Judge Barker to be offered at all places of
worship tomorrow.

A Most Popu lar Route.

1t is an undeniable fact that those who do
the most travelling are the best judges Of
the different routes. The Pennsylvania
Lines during the past week transferred 1876
theatrical people over its different branches.
As theatrical people travel as much as any
body the fact that they favored the Penn
sylvania Lines is proof of their appreciation
Of the superior advantages of the road. An
exact schedule of the theatrical patronage
of the above lines during the past week is
given below:
OUT OF PITTSBURG.
Miss Helyett, 35 people, from Alvin
Theater to New York.

THE WARLIKE LATINS.

Gunnan, the Ex-Dictator, Who Lorded 1t
Over Venezuela for SO Many Years, At
the Bottom of Another Revolution-A
Brazilian Governor Downed.
CARACAS, VENEZUELA, March 19.-The
opposition to President Palacio has at last
resulted in a resort to arms, and bloody
engagement has been fought between a
body of revolutionists and Government
troops near this city. So far as can be
learned now the advantage rests with the
Government, but the fear is generally e1-
pressed that this is but the beginning Of q
long and desperate fight for the control of
the country. The national election was to
have been held on February 20. and before
that date came further postponement was
made. These postponements were made, 1t
is generally thought, because the Govern
ment forces were not in proper fighting
trim. 1t is said that ex-President Guzman
Blanco is at the back of the revolutionary
movement.
A dispatch from Rio Janeiro says: De-
tails of the deposition of General Ciraindo
de Queiroz, Governor of Ceara, have been
received here. The cadets of the military
school formed the principal nucleus of the
insurgent forces They were aided by armed
civilians, and it seems that the artillery be-
longing to the garrison and the marines of
the gunboat Bracannot also took part against
the Governor, who intrenched himself at his
official residence, with his police force and
200 men.
The fight commenced at about o'clock in
the evening, with a skirmish between the
cadets and the mounted police. The latter
marched on the official residence of the
Governor, which, at the same time was
bombarded by the artillery. The fighting
was kept up all night, and the next morn
ing the Governor capitulated. The number
killed on both sides is estimated at IS.

PHILADELPHIA, March 19-It has been
definitely settled that the investigation Of

ingdon Reformatory, as presented to Gov
ernor Pattison by State Senator Osbourn,
will be begun next Tuesday at Huntington.
The Senator received q letter to-day from
Mahlon Dickinson, President of the Board,
in which Mr.. Dickinson informed him that
he had received communication from the
Governor, with the request for an investi-
cation, and asking Mr.. Osbourn to be pres
ent at the inquiry Tuesday next. Before
this letter was received, however, the Sem
ator had addressed communication to Mr..
Dickinson, in which he said:
am in receipt of letter from Governor
Pattison, dated the 18th inst. informing me
that he has inclosed to you my letter of the
18th, with accompanying aff1davits OF Jacob
johnson. Edward Conlan and William
Woods, making charges of cruel and bar
barous treatment against Deputy Superin-
tendent George A. Smith, of the Pennsyl-
vania Industrial Reformatory at Hunting
don, and that he has requested you to make
a thorough investigation of the statements
made and report the result at an early date:
More Information Is Promised.
beg to say that. as official visitor of State
institutions, l have received much addi-
tional Information and specific allegations
of cruelties practiced upon the boys who
have been confined in the huntington Re-
formatory since 1859, and am able to give
you the names OF at least Is witnesses. who,
il protected, will give testimony Of the man
ner of their punishment and their long
periods of solitary confinement, ETC. also
have the names or several inmates who died
in the institution, and of one who was sent
to the Norristown Insane Asylum, and will
checrfully furnish you with all these facts
if you desire to have them.
Not content with this letter, the Senator
also called at the State Board of Charities
and held long consultation with President
Dickinson and Secretary Biddle. The ques-
tion was gone over thoroughly. Mr..
Osbourn explained to these gentlemen his
efforts in behalf of the boys, and how it
came that he took testimony in the matter.
He called their attention to the testimony
of Woods, who said he had been confined in
a cell for II months without fresh air and
exercise. Mr.. Osbourn said this was
terrible thing for growing boy. Its re-
suits had been that when Woods returned

Some Of Their Testimony Concerning Profits
Contradicts Mr.. McLeod's.
NEW YORK, March 19-The coal men,
or middlemen, whom the coal combine pro-
prose to freeze out. had their innings to-
day before the special committee OF the
State Senate, which is investigating the
Reading deal. r. H. Williams and T. R.
Barrett testified that the profits of the mid
dlemen were from 5 TO Is cents per ton.
Both witnesses favored the combine. The
concentration of interests wp uld reduce ex-
penses. Ultimately, they thought that would
benefit the consumer. President Mead, of
the Pennsylvania Coal Company, testified
that he had been in the coal business for 45
years, and had never heard Of a middleman
making profit of 81 80 ton, thereby fatty
contradicting the testimony of President
Mcleod, of the Reading Railroad, who tes-
titled last week.
President Mead thought the profits of the
retail dealer would not be affected bv the
combine. A combination that controlled 70
per cent of the coal trade could control and
advance prices, but could not shut out COM
petition.

SENATOR KYLE NEARLY FLoPS
The Great and Only Indecrat Almost
Within Democratic Ranks,

Within Democratic Ranks,
WASHINGTON, March 19.-rSpecial +
Since the contest in the Senate over the
confirmation of Judge Woods ended il is
said that Senator Kyle, of South Dakota,
landed fairly and squarely ON his feet in the
Democratic ranks. He has voted with the
Democrats on all party questions that have
come up during his service in the Senate,
and he appears to be in accord with them on
general political questions. As an evidence
that his services are appreciated
by the Democratic leaders, there is
some talk of assigning him to
duty on the Congressional Democratic Com
mittee as one OF the representatives of the
Senate. He has but to take one step further
to insure him of almost anything within
reason that he may desire from the party
leaders, and that is to consent to participate
in the Democratic caucuses. He has not
yet declared himself on that subject, and
there has been no occasion recently to test
his fidelity to the cause In that direction,
as the Democrats of the Senate have not
held caucus since the early part Of the
session.
Those who are familiar with Senator Kyle
say he takes no interest in the Third party
or Farmers Alliance movements, and is
disposed to cooperate with the Democrats
in the future.
