covery-The Prisoner.
PITTSBURGH, July 25.-H. G. Frick,
chairman of the Carnegie Steel Co.,
limited, who was shot and stabbed Sat
urday by Alexander Bergman mot
Berkman), the nihilist, passed COM
Portable day, and Sunday evening was
reported by his physicians as being in a
fair way to recover He suffered con-
siderable pain at times from his wounds,
but the wonderful determination of the
man enabled him to suppress all signs
of suffering.
When he spoke at all, which was sell
dom his words We're cheerful. He die
tated reassuring telegram to his aged
mother, who lives at Wooster, O., and
| also cablegram to Andrew Carnegie.
Many persons called at the residence
of the wounded millionaire during the
day to inquire concerning his condi-
ton and express their sympathy for
him, and dozens of messages of
| sympathy were received from per-
sons in various parts of the country. A
| few of the messages were read to him,
but the great majority were answered
| by a secretary. Only Vice-Chairman
Leishmann and Secretary Lovejoy, of
| the Carnegie Co., were allowed to see
Mr.. Frick. Both gentlemen stated
Sunday evening that they had no doubt
| Mr.. Frick would soon be back at his
desk. They denied the story sent
out Saturday night thai an attempt had
been made to poison the whole Frick
family.
Alexander Bergman spent the day in
the Central station. He admits that he
is printer and that he had worked as
a compositor on some New York pa
pers, one Russian publication and the
others German. He was familiar with
the names of the proprietors and editors
of the New York Stats Zeitung and
said he had worked ON newspapers in
different parts of the country, but
would not say where. 1t was reported
that his desire to kill Fricl was caused
| by the fact that his father was
one of the Hungarians killed in the
coke region riots of last year, but Berg
man laughed at this. At the same time
he betrayed familiarity with the
names and locations in the coke regions
that was remarkable for a stranger.
All efforts to discover any thing except
what he cared to tell were without
avail. 1t was evident not only that the
man is entirely sane, but that he is pos
sessed of large degree of shrewdness.
When an attorney called on him Sum
day afternoon out of curiosity, Berg
man told him he did not want the SER
vices of a lawyer; that he would plead
his own case, and that he would have
things to say that would startle the
whole community. He was taken to
the county Jail tonight, and will not
be given hearing until the result of
Mr., Frick's injuries are known.

is BLAINE FOR REED?
An Alleged Deal TO Defeat President
Harrison.

An Alleged Deal TO Defeat President
Harrison.
WASHINGTON, May 2.-The New York
World correspondent telegraphs that
paper as follows:
Your correspondent heard singular
story here today, which is given for what
it is worth. A critical examination
shows that there was some corroborative
evidence to support it. Here it is:
The Blaine boom, started in New York,
is alleged to be conspiracy against the
denomination of President Harrison, but
not to be intended to make Mr.. Blaine
the candidate of the Minneapolis con-
vention.
On first sight this may appear like
treachery to Mr.. Blaine. 1t is asserted
to be nothing of the kind. Mr.. Blaine,
it is said, has never intended to accrpt
nomination. He is represented to have
meant just what he said in his Clarkson
letter, and it is added that when the
proper time comes he will so declare.
But he intends to defeat President Har-
rison's nomination, and his present dal-
lying course, his visit to New York, his
interviews with Platt. Clarkson. Ames,
Fassett and others, are alleged to be all
directed to that object The secretary
is represented as in the conspiracy.
Who, then, is to be the Republican
candidate if Harrison is to be beaten
and Blaine will not accept? The man,
as the story goes, whom of all others,
after Blaine, such political manipulate
ors as Quay, Platt, Clarkson, Dudley
and the rest would desire to see at the
head of the government is ex-Speaker
Thomas B. Reed, of Maine.
| 1t is no longer anything but an open
secret that the relations between Presi-
dent Harrison and Secretary Blaine are
| painfully strained. Indeed, the parties
| themselves now take no pains to conceal
their quarrel. Harrison has made no
disguise OF his desire to belttle Blaine,
and to claim to his own credit the most
popular acts of the state department.
Mrs. Blaine's recent assertion that her
husband was under no political obliGa-
| ton to the president shows plainly how
the wind acts in that quarter.
The presidents spiteful remark last
Saturday i'll one of his speeches, that the
good nature he sees as he travels helps
him to forget the ugliness of some of
| those with whom he comes in contact at
Washington, is understood to refer to
Blaine as distinctly us if the president
had called the secretary's name. All
this explains why Blaine is resolved to
| prevent Harrison's denomination and is
willing to cooperate with Platt & Co.
| to accomplish that result.

The Story of Boom for Reed.
CHICAGO, June 2.-Emmons Blaine
was at the Grand Pacific hotel yester-
day in conference with James S. Clark
son. but to all the questions of report
ers answered that he was as much in
the dark as to his fathers intentions as
any one. He admitted, however, that
the silence of the secretary of state
was likely to be construed in one way
only.
Senator Hansbrough, of North Da-
kota, was another arrival He is red
hot Blaine boomer, and declared that
all the delegates from his state, with,
perhaps, single exception, were for
the Maine man. "My Ticket" said Mr..
Hansbrough, ''is Blaine and Rusk."
Iowa Solid for Harrison.
Ex-United States Senator George G..
Wright, of Iowa, sounded a discordant
note in the Blaine chorus. He came
straight from Des Moines, and declared
that the Hawkeye state was for Harrison
beyond peradventure. "The Repub-
licans of Iowa." said he. 'are not going
to be dictated to by Clarkson."

Wchrly, ex-recorder of deeds of York
county, and prominent business man
of York, was acquitted of perjury in
the quarter sessions court. Wehrly was
sued for debt as an indorser nearly
twenty years ago, and when an attempt
was made last winter to collect this
claim he made an affidavit in the pro-
thonotary's Office as to the property of
the man he indorsed. The affidavit was
made on information furnished by
Wehrly's counsel, after an examination
of the records, and the court ruled that
there could not be a conviction, the aft
davit having been made in good faith.
