THE IfTH PENN. RESERVES.
Some Interesting Facts About the
Old REGIMENT.

Old Regiment.
We clip the following from the
Cambria Herald, published at Ebans-
burg, Pa, which may be of interest
to our readers:
I'm this grand old regiment was
CompanWA, Of Ebansburg. The
.companyFleft this place June II,
1861, With the following officers:
Captain. Robert Litsinger; First
Lieut., Andy Lewis; Second Lieut..
Robert 4. Mccoy. The following
facts were taken from the National
Tribune:
The llth Pa. Reserves sustained
the heaviest loss of any regiment IN
the Pennsylvania Reserves, while
'ita.psrcentage- Of loss is among. the
largest or any in the war. tt was
recruited in Western Pennsylvania.
and arrived in Washington July 26,
1861, and was assigned to Mead's
Second Brigade. At Gaines Mill
the 1lth held its position in the face
of a terrible fire until the other
troops had been forced to fall back,
when, being surrounded by the
enemy, it was obliged to surrender.
G. b escaped the fate of their com.
rades, having been detailed on
fatigue duty just before the fight
began. The captured officers and
men were exchanged August 5, 1862,
and rejoined the army of the Po-
tomac before it left the Peninsula.
Resuming their place in the First
Corps they took part in the battles
of the Second Bull Run or Manassa
and South Mountain, and when
they entered the field at Antietam
the 11th had less than 200 men in
line of battle. A few recruits were
obtained and some of the wounded
returned, so that the 18th went into
action at Fredericksburg with 394
officers and men-and of these 2l1
were killed and wounded. After a
few months needed rest at Wash
ington the 11th was assigned to the
Fifth Corps, in which they served
at Gettysburg and in the Wilder
ness campaign in McCandless' Bri-
gade, Crawford's Division. The
18th was relieved from duty May
IL, 1864, and ordered home for
muster ont, the veterans and re-
cruits being transferred to the 190th
Penn. The 11th is reported among
the 300 fighting remnants by Col.
Fox, having lost IL officers and 1876
men, killed or died of wounds, and
one officer and 112 men died of dis
ease. accidents, in prison, etc. Out
of total of 1,177 men the regiment
had GSl killed and wounded in it's
three years service, which would
emphatically indicate that they were
'stayers from away back. ,"
Daniel and Thomas ID. Jones,
brothers of Hon. J. p. Jones, of
Terra Alta, enlisted in Co. A as
privatcs at the organization of the
regiment. Daniel was promoted to
captain, and was killed while lead
ing his company in the battle of
the Wilderness. Capt. James A.
Hayden, of Oakland, was captain
Of Co. + in the same regiment and
was at the head of his company in
the fight when Captain Jones was
killed.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
NEWPORT, R. L, April 15.-The count
ing-in and contingent election incident is
still the all-absorbing topic of conversation.
The Democrats, who are on top, are keep
ing their own counsel, and are said to be
preparing a series of serious charges of cor
ruption against men who are melting the
community by incendiary talk.
Afidavits of startling nature have been
secured, and the names of prominent leaders
are involved. Money, in the shape of crisp
bills paid to men to vote the Republican
ticket, is said to be in the hands of Demo-
Gratis Libel suits are also threatened, and
it is evident that there is trouble ahead.
The matter in dispute will be settled by
Legislative committee.
The Democrats declare that the votes were
honestly counted. The Republicans have
evidence, it is claimed, to the contrary.
The party organs are indulging in gross
personalities
To-day a bill was introduced in the Legis-
lature by the Republicans for an amend
ment to the city charter, whereby a non-
partisan returning board may be appointed,
doing away with any count by the Alder
men, as at present This will prevent any
candidate for office counting his own votes.
This bill, as the Legislature is Republican,
will probably be passed at once.
The election to-day shows heavy falling
off in the total vote, it being 25 per cent
less than a week ago. The Democrats have
elected their State Senator, Richard B.
Comstock, by majority of 27, he having
7,947 to the Republicans Z GIG and the Pro-
hibition candidates 232; scattering, 70.
There was no election for the nine Repre-
sentatiyes

Results In tho Weir Murder Case Expected
Very soon-Burleigh Gets Down to
work-OnIy q Few New Facts Wore De-
veloped Yesterday.
Within the next week some decided move
will be made in the Gamble Weir poison
case. District Attorney Burleigh is salts
fed the late Superintendent of Police was
murdered, and he is only waiting further
analysis to tell in just what forms the poison
was administered. The case is not being
dropped by any means and many Of Gamb le
Weir's friends are aiding in the investiga-
tion.
Yesterday Commissioner Weir, Harry
Fehl and Councilman Thomas Mcclure were
in almost constant consultation with the
District Attorney and many witnesses were
examined, but just what was found was not
given out.
District Attorney Burleigh, speaking of
the case yesterday, said: "There is very
little than can be given out for publication
at present. We are working hard ON the
case, and several Of the city detectives are
aiding us. I am fully satisfied Gamble
Weir was poisoned. The report made to
me by Prof. Hugo Blanck fully establishes
this. He is certain the poison is in greater
quantity tnan ever cOuld nave come from
the embalming fluid. When I asked him
for the various forms and the exact quantity
of the poisons he said it would require
further analysis. I am only waiting on
that report and then we will be ready to do
business.
"We have discovered several facts to-day,
but as yet they are not connected. In
case of this kind one has to spend much
time hunting up trifes. Some of them are

are no fugitives from justice in this case.

GRAY SUBMITS GRACEFULLY

To the Desire of Indiana Democrats to
Vote for Cleveland Again.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, April 15.-1m-
portant results were reached last night at
conference of all the leading Cleveland and
Gray representatives of Indiana with the
Democratic State Central Committee and
the Executive Committee OF that body. 1t
was agreed that the most influential repre-
sentatives of the Cleveland and Gray ele-
ments should go to the State convention
and urge the adoption of a resolution
indorsing Cleveland's administration, de-
claring that tariff reform should
be the leading issue of the coming cam
paign, and upon that issue that Mr.. Cleve-
land should be the logical candidate for the
Chicago convention; also testifying to the
confidence felt for Governor Gray, that
he was worthy of the highest honors, and
that in the event of the Chicago convention
failing to nominate Mr.. Cleveland, that the
Indiana delegation endeavor to effect Gray's
nomination by every honorable means
within their power.
Such resolutions will undoubtedly be
passed. Senator Turpie will be Chairman
of the convention, and the delegates at large
will be Senator Voorhees,, ex-Chairman c.
j. Jewett, Hugh Dougherty and S. E.
Morss. Governor Gray was present last
night at the meeting.

while Spencer Penrose, another brother, is
in Boston. -~
DR.. Orville Horwitz, an intimate friend
of the accused physician, was astounded
when reporter told him OF the news from
Wyoming. "Whatl Charlie Penrose ac-
cused of conspiracy and murder?" he said.
'eThat's impossible. He is the last man on
earth to be accused of such thing. There
is not an element in his nature to make
such thing likely. You Will find that he
has been blamed falsely. He is man of
high and honorable principles and as good
natured fellow as lives"
Other Friends Won't Believe 1t.
Colonel Robert Adams, Jr., ex-United
States Minister to Brazil, was shocked at
the news of DR.. Penrose's arrest, and said
that the character of the young physician
made it incredible that he could be guilty
of any such crime as he is charged with.
His reputation, Colonel Adams said, was of
the very highest, and there could not pos
sibly be any cause for such an accusation.
Commissioner of Banking Charles h.
Krumbhaar said: 'tDr Penrose's character
is beyond reproach, and there is not the
least doubt in my mind that his arrest is an
outrage. He is brave, manly fellow, and
with instincts far too high to be led into q
conspiracy to kill fellow being. He has a
host of friends here who look up to him and
admire his character, as well as his pro-
fessional attainments, which are eminent !"

WHO TURNED DOWN ALGERi

1t without Trouble.

IL
WASHINGTON, April 15.-[SpeciaL J.
Senator Mcmillan. of Michigan, who was
yesterday reelected Chairman of the Repub-
lican State Central Committee of his State,
and who thereupon knocked out in one
blow Presidential candidate Alger, and the
Gubernatorial Candidate of ex-senator
''Tom" Palmer, did not even leave Wash
ington to perform the job. He remained
here in attendance upon his Senatorial du-
ties, and his lieutenants, acting under his or
ders, did the work smoothly and effectively.
The Alger boomers are attempting to create
the impression that because the Michi-
gan delegates at large to the Minneapolis
Convention, chosen yesterday, were not in
structed, that they are therefore in favor of
General Alger's nomination. The fact is
that every one of them are is Harrison. 1t
is further fact that more than one-half Of
the district delegates already selected in
Michigan have been instructed to vote for
Harrison.
1t is therefore perfectly plain that Mlchi-
gan will not present the name of Russell
A. Alger to the National Republican Con-
vention, and no one is more fully aware of
that fact than Senator Mcmillan. He knows
that he could have sent a telegram to De-
troit yesterday, that would have caused the
adoption of resolution instructing the del
egates at large to support Harrison.
