COGAN DEFENDS FAY.
A Pittsbprg spiritualistic Medium Delivers
a Elowery Exhortation.

A Pittsburg Spiritualistic Medium Delivers
F1owery Exhortation.
Prof James Cogan, the well-known spir-
itualst, who was brought into prominence
by defending Annie Eva Fay, aired his pc
culiar views and promenaded his many
grievances before fair-sized audience in
Carnegie Hall yesterday afternoon
In his opening remarks he
wanted it understood that it was
one of his ancestors of an age
long since forgotten, not himself, who was
disgraced by having mud thrown at him
from the hands of wicked unbelievers.
American people were roundly abused for
their unbelief in particular and everything
else in general. The speaker again took
occasion to defend Miss Fay. who, he
thought, was minister plenlpotentiary
from the spirit land to show her glory by
miraculous power.
81 am Christian now, but for years 1
wandered in Darkness" said the Professor
'gFhe Bible was unknown to me until
short time ago, but now [ search it every
dav. / can prove with Biblical quotations
that Miss Fay is just what she pretends to
be-"
Continuing he spoke of her beauty as.
a symbol of purity and divine favor. He
didn't refer to her stage makeup with the
usual painted face and low necked dress,
but of course that wasn't exactly
in the spiritualistic line. In conclusion
Prof. Cogan called upon the spirits of the
departed faithful, which he evidently
thought were floating around the room, to
use their superhuman pulp on wicked
sinners, and, if possible, land them among
the true exponents of truth, as it seemed to
him

Germans.
Charity and politics were combined in
harmonious unison last evening at a meet
ing of nearly 400 Germans at Druiden Hall,

A fund was started for three small orphan
children and an unanimous Endorsement of
Alderman E. L. Braun for Mayor of Allie
gheny for the unexpired term of Mayor
Wvman was given.
The children are those of August Henry,
a German, who died several weeks ago.
Their mother had been dead for year or
more, and since the fathers death they were
left destitute and were taken care of bv
some neighbors- AT the meeting last even
ing about $500 was pledged and provision
was made to have the children well provided
for.
After this had been settled, politics were
discussed, and upon motion of Anthony
Geusthardt, Alderman z. L. Braun, of the
First ward, was unanimously indorsed for
Mayor.
The same gentleman was also enthusiastic
callv indorsed by the Concordia Club of
the Twelfth ward, Allegheny, that met last
evening. Similar action was taken by the
Atlantic Athletic Association Saturday
evening, at their clubhouse in the Second
ward, Allegheny. Louis Fleming presided
at the latter meeting.

Walter Lyon Returns From Florida and

Health of the Junior Senator-Plans Tor

Walter Lyon Returns From Florida and
Talks About Quay and Harrison-The
Health of the Junior Senator-Plans for
the Near Future.
United States District Attorney Lyon re-
turned yesterday from Florida, where he
spent several weeks with Senator Quay at
st. Lucie. He confirmed the report OF Mr..
Quay's illness, but said that his health is
improving, and that the Senator will prob
ably return to Washington about March 1.
'Mr. Quay" he said, chad a
bad cold OF tie grip before he left Wash
ington. 1t was on that account
he went to Florida. When we
got to st. Lucie he was very sick
and continued that way for some time. He
was threatened with pneumonia, and at
night could not sleep on account of Sc
we're cough. A week or SO ago we tele-
graphed for Mrs. Quay, and she started to
Florida Immediately. The nearest physician
was 80 miles away. and, as the place was a
small one, we didn't think he would amount
to anything and did not send for him. Be
sides, there is no railroad between the
places and it would have taken two days
to have brought the physician to
ST. Lucie All the home remedies that
could be thought OF were used and with the
warm climate pulled the Senator through,
although for time his case looked danger
Gus. He had recovered sufficiently to go
out rowing before left and l have received
a telegram from Dick stating that
he is continuing better. He Is anxious to
get back to Washington and will probably
be able to return next week or the latter
part of this week"
"Will Mr.. Quay follow Mr.. Dalzell's
lead and commence active campaign work.
"Mr. Quay was not able to think OF poll
tics when / was with him and l do not
think he had heard of Dalzell's movements.
1t is not likely the Senator will be fright
ened at the organization against him. 1t is
the same old crowd of disappointed people,
and thev will, of course, flock to Mr.. Dal-
zell''
''Do you know anything of the reported
reconciliation of the President and Senator
Quay?"
81 do not think Mr. Quay had any COM
munication with his Washington friends
while away. l do not know what was done
before he went to Florida. l was In Wash
ington yesterday, but did not learn any
thing new. l hardly expect a Collector to
be appointed until Secretary Foster re-
turns from Europe"
''Who do you think will be appointed
tnen?''
-''Mr. Graham seems to be in the lead.
There is possibility that Mr.. Lyon, OF
Greensburg, will get the place as a compro-
mise man. The situation is badly mixed
up and there is nothing definite known
about what will be done.

They Want a Free Silver Man.

E. B. True, of HALEY, Idaho, has been at
the Duquesne for several weeks. Mr.. True
is engaged in silver mining, and during the
winter spends his time in the East. He e1-
poets to return as soon as the snow clears
away. He says in the West the Democrats
and Republicans are of one mind ON the sill
yer question. They want candidate for
President who is free silver man. Every
voter prefers his own party, but rather than
give mp the silver issue, party lines will be
thrown to the winds. Mr.. True thinks it
strange that the Republicans should insist
on protection for American industries, and
then leave ont an extensive business like
silver mining.

quent endeavors to get into them. HIS
first attempt was successful and he got
short sentence to the workhouse for
vagrancy AT that institution he made so
much trouble that the second time he was
sent up the authorities there refused to
take him and he was set free AT the Jail
mediation for insane people. Last Wednes-
day he again appeared at Central police
station, demanding to be locked up. On
being refused and put out he raised such a
disturbance that the Sergeant finally put
him in
The next day Chief Elliot, of the De-
partment Of Charities, was appealed to and
furnished ticke to Philadelphia so as to
get the man as tar on his way home as pos
sible. Two officers took Veleski to the
Union depot to put him on the train, but
he made such strenuous objections to get
ting aboard that the conductor. refused to
take him on the train unless an officer went
along to take care of him. While they
were arguing the matter Veleski took to his
heels and escaped.
Friday night he appeared once more AT
Central station smiling blandly and re-
questing to be again locked up. 1t was
little use to refuse, so he was put behind
the bars. The case was then turned over to
Detective Bendel. who decided he would
get Veleski out of town if it took a month
to do SO. Accordingly, on Saturday after
noon the detective took his prisoner to the
depot and got on the 4:30 train going east
with him. Detective Bendel knew that
Valeski needed sleep, as he had been in a cell
next to that occupied by couple OF drunken
men, who kept him awake all night with
their rawlings. His plan was to remain on
the train until Veleski fell asleep and then
come back. 1t was not until Johnstown
was reached that the prisoner. finally over
come by exhaustion, stretched out in his
seat in sleep that the detective concluded
would not be broken until Harrisburg
had been passed at least. The officer then
got off the train and came back. In all
probability Veleski was landed in Phila-
delphia, where the authorities will doubt
less have an opportunity soon of packing
him off to his home in Trenton.

shirted and Quaker-bonnet followers, held
sway in Lafayette Hall yesterday after

fortably filled with sympathizers in the

the remarks of Colonel McKie. In the
usual loud-voiced manner he begged the
people to leave the sinful lives they were
living and join the Army. His words did
not fall on deaf ears for at the close of the
services some so persons declared themselves
in readiness to walk from darkness into
light.
After the Colonel had closed his remarks,
Captain Plant was introduced, and with an
ACCORDION for an accompaniment, he sang
several Salvation songs, which brought
many fervent amens from the audience
This was followed by the announcement
that S25 was needed or the Army would have
to surrender. All those who were willing
to give 81 were asked TO hold up their
hands. After little hesitancy Is hands

There were two deck hands on the tug at
the time but they escaped by jumping on
a coal barge.
The tug had been used all day in securing
and making fast some coal barges in antici-
patton OF danger from the break of the
Parker ice gorge. In the evening steam
was let down and work was begun to make

slightly when a run of ice swung one of the

two men on it leaped to the barge and es-
capped. The ropes tied to the tug held and
