A Card.

To the Patrons Of Fss.ersoille Post Office:
/ take this method of announcing to nv
friends who have SO kindly signed my petit
ton to be appointed postmaster at Fishers
vile, that hereby Withdraw from this con-
test in favor of Miss Bette Bateman the
present acting postmaster. My reasons for
this step are, during the time Miss Bateman
has been acting postmaster she has discharg-
ed the duties in most Intelligent and salts
factory manner, and while she is the daugh-
ter of a republican, she is also the daughter
of a confederate soldier, who lost an arm in
defence of his country'S service. Miss Bate
man is sympathizer with democratic prin
ciples The income from this Office (the duties
of which she has SO faithfully discharged for
the past two years. is her support. and do
not feel inclined to take from a woman her
support and that of her aged mother, and ask
my friends to throw their influence in her
favor.

A complete list of Representative in
Congress elected, made up from the returns
received by the Democratic National Com
mittee and compared with those received
by the clerk of the House agrees substan-
TALLY with the estimate sent out by the
Associated Press. 1t shows that the Dem
ocrats have elected 222 members, the Re
publicans 125 and the Populists 7, giving
the Democrats majority Of 80. If the
DEMOCRATS carry the election for Congress-
men in Rhode Island they will have ma
jority OF 81 over all opposition.

glad enough to be allowed to drop into Oh

may be an awkward thing for him. The
Democratic party is disposed to be good

things; but Davenport was SO trncuent
offensive and generally od;ous That there

POLITICAL NOTES.

Senator Faulkner Of West Virginia, in
reviewing the political situation in his State
and as the canvass had to be urged there,
says he regarded it as the greatest victory
won in the whole country on election day,
as the republicans were backed by the
whole power of the federal government and
unlimited supplies of money. Secretary OF
War Elkins had given his undivided atten-
tion to the effort to carry that State, and
he had called to his assistance most of the
prominent republican speakers throughout
the country. In addition to the streams of
money poured into the State by the repub-
lican national committee, further funds had
been raised by the assessment OF the feder-
al officeholders, both in Washington and in
West Virginia. All the money the demo-
Gratis could get was needed to prevent frau
dulent voting for the republican ticket.
Secretary Elkins had worked ap a feeling
OF confidence in their success among all
the republicans Of the State, and cOnse-
quently they had never made such d spill
ted and confident fight before. They were
beaten, however, by between 5000 and {, eco
votes. Senator Faulkner further said there
was little reason for surprise at the result
of the election in the country at large, as
the same issues were before the people as
when the democratic Victory of 1890 was
won. 1t simply showed that the American
people were turning to the democratic par
ty as the party that represented their ideas
of the proper policy for the government to
pursue.
Chauncey M. Depew outlines what hebe-
ieves will be the future policy of the Re
publican party. He says there will be 10
reconstruction. and it will continue to be
the party Of progress. Reverses will SIM
ply stimulate it's energies to renewed eff
forts and renewed triumphs. The first
plank in the Republican platform for 1896
MI. DepeW declares, will be a protective
tariff. 1t will not be the Mckinley bill
but the protective policy will be adhered
to. The policy OF the party on immigra-
ton, MI. Depew further declares, will be
to place additional restrictions about it, but
the Force bill issue will be put aside. MI.
Depew added there were no new leaders in
sight. and MI. Harrison would fill the
place left vacant by MI. Cleveland S pro-
motion to the presidency, and greatly ell
large it. He will he for the next foul
years one private citizen whose voice and
appearance will command the attention of
the whole country.

Naval Circles at Washington Worried by
the Lookout at Homestead-Armor Plate
Needed for tho New Cruisers-Hoping
for Speedy Settlement.
Naval officials are much concerned over
the labor trouble at the works of Carnegie,
Phipps & Co, according to dispatch from
Washington, D. O. The firm are already
much behind with their contract for sup
plying armor for the new vessels of the
navy. Navy officials can see nothing but
further delay as long as the strike con-
tinues. The situation is especially
embarrassing at this time from the
fact that nearly all the vessels are
approaching a stage when work upon
them will have to be stopped unless there
are early deliveries of armor plate.
One Of the inducements that led the depart
ment to place contract with them was
the expectation that their simple method of
rolling plates would facilitate the delivery
of material for the new ships, and although
the delay has been longer than anticipated,
the department was beginning to con-
gratulate itself that the most trouble was
over when the news came of the shutting
down of the works
Fortunately the strike will not seriously
delay work on the battle ships unless It
should continue for an extended period. A
few weeks ago the department arranged an
exchange Of plates between the two armor
contractors whereby the diagonal and some

the first number, and Mohn Bros, gentle

and third floors are occupied by Peter Gels
berger and Charles. Gallant. police lieu
tenant, with their families. Both families
Geisberger left two lamps burning In his
rooms, and went out with his chill
dren to meet his wife on her re-
turn from the celebration at Schenley
Park. Lieutenant Gallant was on
duty at the park, and his family
we're there also. Nobody was about the
apartments, and it is supposed lamp ex-
ploded in Mr. Giesberger's rooms. An
alarm was sent in from box 81 and in half
an hour the fire was subdued.
The flames, however, had eaten through
both homes on the second floor and they
were very considerably damaged by water.
Each will lose about $500. Mohn Bros
store was flooded with water and the loss
of them carry insurance.
The lace curtain in q house at No. 10
Ashton avenue, Allegheny, caught fire
from some fireworks at o'clock last night,
but the flames were easily extinguished.
An alarm from Station Is was sent in, but
the department was not called out
An alarm of fire from box 1877, at $40
yesterday morning, was due to slight
blaze on the roof of house on Breed street,
Southside, caused by frecrackers. Ten
dollars will cover the damage.
Alarm of fire from station IA at 8 o'clock
last night was caused by the burning of an
awning on a store on Third street near Dia-
mond street.
Alarm 329 at 8 o'clock last night was oc-
casioned by trifing blaze in Mrs Lees
store, 1926 Penn avenue. Alarm 50 at 11:30
o'clock last night was caused by slight fire
in the feed store of R. c. Fritz, $50 Fifth

Of tho side armor plates of the battle ships
which were most urgently needed will be
made by the Bethlehem works in exchange
for other class of armor that
can 'be more easily made by Carnegie,
Phipps & Co. The monitors and other
armored vessels will therefore be more
seriously affected by the strike than the
battle ships, which latter Secretary Tracy
intends. to push to completion even at the
expense of other vessels
Carnegie's contract with the department
calls for 5000 tons of armor, aggregating in
cost nearly "a, 900, 600. Not one-tenth Of
the armor has yet been delivered. The
company will not suffer any in the way
of penalties for delay, as it has
always been the practice of the depart
ment to waive any claim on this account
where the delay is the result of labor
troubles. The department officials cannot
believe that the company will be long In
reaching an agreement with their men for
the reason that any prolonged cessation of
work would no only mean an immediate
loss, but might jeopardize their chance of
getting an additional contract for from five
to ten thousand tons of armor soon to be
let by the Navy Department.

STABBED In THE BODY.

Henry Rice Thoughtto Be Dying From
Cut Received From james Gormley-
His sAssaiIant Escapes-The Case Shroud-
ed In Mystery.
Henry Rice was perhaps fatally stabbed
about o'clock last night by james Corn
ley, at Booth & Films brickyard on
Ruch's hill, and up until a late hour this
morning Gormley had not been secured by
the police.
The details of the affair were very nearly
unattainable last night At the time the
affair occurred Steve Halpln, James Nc.
Cluskey, Charles Gormley and Daniel
Gormley were with Rice and James CORN
ley. These four men were arrested and
locked up in the Eleventh ward station.
They seemed to be perfectly sober. When
questioned the men refused to throw any
light on the crime.
Rice was removed to Mercy Hospital.
There it was found he had been stabbed in
the abdomen. The cut is very bad one,
and his recovery is thought to be very
doubtful by the hospital physician. Rice is
about 20 years of age, and lives at Francis
street and Center avenue. Gormley is
older, and lives on Enoch street.
