DEMOCRATS AT WAR.

Defeated Candidate Creates a Sensation
in a Committee Meeting.
GREENsBURG, Aug. 25.-[SpeiaL ]-At q
meeting of the Democratic County Com
mittee here this afternoon Hon. John
Kuhns, who was defeated at the recent
primary election for Senator, created a
sensation by charging that the return
judges violated their oaths and broke the
law of the Commonwealth BY admitting the
votes of certain districts when the ballot
did not accompany the same. Disorder
prevailed among the committee when the
charge was made by Mr.. Kuhns, and it was
some time before Chairman Keenan, could
restore order Another thing that Mr..
Kuhns objected to was the placing of so
much power in the hands of Chairman
Keenan,.
''Not only the laws of the Commonwealth
have been violated" said Mr. Kuhns, ''but
the rules of the County Democracy have
been thrown aside, and the choosing of
secretary aad an executive board has been
turned over to the Chairman. 1t is an out
rage, and'the County Democracy will not
submit to proceedings of this nature

wEAvER's RECORD IN DRxAHD.


Democrats Eager to Make Use Of an Old
sp.ech Of Henderson's.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26-[Special lone
of the documents most numerously sent out
from the headquarters of the Democratic
Congressional Committee is the speech made
some years ago by General Henderson, Of
Iowa, in which he gave what purported to
be the record of General Weaver, now the
candidate for the Peoples party for Presi-
dent. 1.-THE Democrats are raking heaven
and earth for compaign material against the
new party" said one of the Attaches of the
Peoples party headquarters to-day, refer
ring to this speech, "and although they
thought the Republicans were liars years
ago when they attacked General Weaver,
they are now willing to use what they at
that time we're convinced was wholly false.
But no attack on Weaver will affect the new
party vote in the least. 1t is our principles,
and not men, that we are fighting for, though
we believe our men to be as pure and sincere
"How do the Alliance and the 'Populists'
harmonize in politics?" was asked.
"You may say perfectly. While the Al
lance is not political party, its members.
as individuals, are almost to o man working
in our ranks. The best test, however, is the
choice of State organs made by the Alliance
at its State conventions which have been
held during recent months. Almost inva-
riably some organ of the Peoples party was
selected as the organ of the Alliance, and
you might say the choice was unanimous
and the dissenting voices were never more
than two or three out of delegates number
ing from 100 to 200. Why, the Alliance is
the mother of the Peoples party, and will
SO noble mother torsake so noble son?"

BUFFALO, Aug. 25.-The State Board of
causes and circumstances of the late switch
mems strike to-day. Mr.. Sweeny stated
that he received at his home in Chicago no.
tice from the Buffalo switchmen that the
railroads here had notified them
that the men would in the future
be worked upon per hour basis
and requesting his presence. Mr..
Sweeny came and ordered the formulation
of grievances and presentation. This course
having failed, Mr.. Sweeny visited the rail-
road managers. The Lehigh and Reading
system had refused to treat with the switch
mems representatives. Mr.. Sweeny then
saw Mr.. Laying, of the West Shore, who
took a negative position at the outset, and
maintained it Mr. Walters, Of the Erie,
would give no definite reply, and Mr.. Bell,
of the Western New York and Pennsyl-
vania road, referred MIR. Sweeny to other
officials of the road.
Mr. Sweeney was asked to name the
roads where men struck for cause, and he
said the Lehigh Valley, Buffalo Creek,
Erie Canal and West Shore. The svmpa.
thetic strikers, he said, were from the Lake
Shore, Western New York and Pennsyl-
vania, Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg,
and Delaware, Lackawanna and Western.
At the afternoon session Superintendent
Brunn, of the Erle, and the Superintendent
of the Lehigh road were examined as to the
events preceding the strike and after Mr..
Brunn stated that new cars had been de-
stroyed to the number of IL or Is, costing
5000 apiece. He also stated that of his
own observation the strikers had interfered
with the new men and with the property of
the company. After further testimony the
hearing adjourned to meet in New York,
when MIR. Webb will be examined.

HARRISON WANTS TO SPEAK,
But somo OF His Advisers Think He Should
Kan Off fIa Sfurnx,

But somo OF His Advisers Think He Should
Keep Off the Stump.
NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-[Special IA
statement emanating from Washington, to
the effect that President Harrison and tie
Republican National Committee are at
loggerheads over the question OF the Presi-
dents taking the stump during the present
campaign, caused general smiles, to-
day, among the knowing, as 1t is
pretty we'll understood that the Republican
National Campaign Committee was organ
ized as Mr.. Harrison desired, is running the
campaign under his direction, and would
hardly interfere with any desire he might
entertain to 60 on the platform in his own
behalf
The story is that the President wants to
make several speeches, but the committee
desires him in the background while it
works out his political salvation through
other agencies Mr.. Hahn, who has the
of the speakers bureau, has
not placed Mr.. Harrison on his list
of speakers yet, and does not
expect to do SO. The strongest
argument which the President is expected
to advance for reelection, it is said. will be
his letter of acceptance, which he is prepar-
ing at Loon Lake. 1t he makes any
speeches, they are not expected to be of o
political character, but the clever sort for
which he has knack.

Some of the Roads Are Holding PLACES
for Them, but More VIII Find Their oc-
cupation Gone.
BUFFALO, Aug. 25-Superintendent
Brunn, of the Erie road, stated to-day that
there are probably 25 good switchmen who
went out from the Erie because they feared
for their lives if they did not These men
will be taken back, but beyond that the
most careful scrutiny will be exercised.
The Lehigh people are only receiving
the names of applicants. They have restored
no strikers as yet. Superintendent John
ston, of the Nickel Plate, says the road will
not hire any of the strikers. They have 35
new men, and that is all he needs.
General Superintendent Cannot, of the
Lake Shore, says that he has no vacancies
to fill, and the Erie people make practically
the same statements. 1t is quite probable
that all the Lackawanna switchmen can
find employment it they care to go back.
But already there are rumors that the
Lackawanna engineers and trainmen have a
grievance OF their own, and that the switch
men will stay with them and help them
fight it out. In this connection, Trainmas-
ter Wilkinson's stay in Buffalo may be
looked upon as significant
The Lackawanna people sent back to
their places to-day the monthly men they
had brought up from the East to man their
Buffalo yards, and all the old men save five
have returned to work.
Erie county's Sheriff has been making
close computations to-day as to the final
cost of the strike. He figures the cost at
s114, $50, while others say it will reach
$3.50, 900.

BUFFALO. Aug 2a-T Special THE news
that the strike was off reached the camps
among the spider curbs of railroad tracks
almost as soon as 1t was known at head
quarters. and was received with joy. Walter
Webb, of the New York Central,
had already told General Porter that
if this strike did not prove to be different
in its after effects from the others that he
had seen, it would be safe to send the troops
home as soon as the strike was declared of
General Porter prepared to act upon this
suggestion. He called Colonel Phisterer,
General McGrath and Major Young into
conference with him at once. With Cen
eral McGrath he arranged the details OF the
commissary department With Major
Young, of General divers Third brigade
staff, he arranged the details of transporta-
tion. Major Young is the Vice President
of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Com
pany.s
1t was intended to send all the troops
home at once. General Porter began to
communicate over Captain Gallup's lines
with the commanding officers. The Twelfth
iment here, but Colonel Dowd said he did
not think it was safe to leave his district
The railroad people said also that they
still needed protection.
1t was then arranged that troop A and
the signal corps, all but Captain Gallup,
should go; that camp II, ct the New York
Central car shops, should be abandoned,
and theTenth Battalion, of Albany, under
Colonel Fitch, and the Troy Citizens
corps and Twenty-frst Separate Company

discover the leak. Stepping to gas jet he
struck match. Instantly it was followed
with q binding flash and roar. and he
was blown unconscious into the middle of

neighbor's daughter and two boarders were
caught in the falling walls. The injured

CORA HEATON, a little child, had her face

The fire department was called and tore
down the shattered walls. The gas took
fire and burned around the street in O

The excitement occasioned by this sad
affair had not subsided. and meu were still
at work removing the debris from Dillon's
ill-fated residence. when another deadly
explosion rent the house of WIZ. Shively.

was lying IN an adjacent room suffering
acute agony from her terrible burns and
wounds, she having been carried il to the
Shivelys' upon being dug out of thu wreck
OF her fathers house. The Anderson fire
