ANOTHER BATTLE ON.
Democrats Arranging for the National
Delegate Fight.
NEW CANDIDATES In THE FIELD.
Old Factions Will Be Divided in the Coming
Struggle.
THE ADMINISTRATION TO TAKE A HAND

The Democrats of Allegheny county are
just row squaring themselves for rough
and-tumble battle over delegates to the
National Convention. The factions who
fought so bitterly over the Jiles-Clark con-
test will be divided into different factions
in the delegate fight, and those who strug-
gled the hardest in the recent campaign
will pull together like a yoke
of well-trained oxen in the coming
fight Ed S. Kennedy and Charles
A. Pagan will have p Foley as their leader.
George Fleming and some other Pittsburg
Democrat will be supported by 7. O'Leary,
Jr., John B. Larkin and others, while an
effort is being made by the Democrats not
allied to any faction to have w. j. Bremen
and Captain Thomas r. Kerr enter the fight.
The Brennen-Kerr combination. it is argued,
would tend to unite the best elements of the
party, and would be successful on account
of the disposition of many of the Demo-
Gratis to do away with all the factions in the
party.
William Howley has announced his candi
dacy for delegate on an independent plat
form. He says he will make no combina-
tion with either of the factions, and he will,
he SAYS, be elected beyond doubt.
1t is said that Kennedy and Pagan, if
elected, will be for Cleveland for President,
while the Fleming combination will also be
for Cleveland. Howley is also for Cleve-
land, but neither Bremen nor Kerr have as
yet declared their intentions.
Withal, the fight promises to be an inter-
esting one. and former friends will be ar
rayed against each other in the bitter trug-
gle that must necessarily follow. Alderman
McKenna will likely be an important
factor in the fight All the fac
tions have already solicited his
help and influence, and in return each of
them has promised to secure to Alderman tine
unanimous nomination for Mayor of Pitts
burg. McKenna, however, has thus far
refused to take sides in the fight. He said
last night that Ire would take hand
later on, but that he will do
nothing against the best interests of his
party. Each of the factions are hopeful
that they will be able to secure the support
Of the State administration in the battle
The Pittsburg Democrats have already been
assured that the administration will be for
Cleveland delegates

POWER TO FILL VACANCIES.
Bremen Says the State Committees Right
Cannot Be Disputed.

Bremen Says the State Committees Right
Cannot Be Disputed.
Chairman Bremen said yesterday that he
will vote in the State Committee in favor
of the committee electing a successor to the
late w. L. Scott on the National Com
mittee. ''There is no argument that can
convince me that the State Committee does
not have the right to fill the vacancy
on the National Committee" Mr.. Bremen
said. ''Within four years there have
been three vacancies on the National
Committee. The vacancy caused by the
death of W. H. Barnum was filled by the
State Committee of Connecticut. The va
cancy caused by the retirement from the
National Committee of William Dawson
was filled by the State Committee of South
Carolina, and the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Herman Oelrchs was filed
by the State Committee of New York elect
ing James f. Sheehan, of Rochester, N. Y.
IF those States have the right to fill va
cancies on the committee certainly Penn
sylyania must have the same right. OF
course" Mr. Brennan went on, ''the person
selected by the State Committee can only
serve on the National Committee until the
National Convention is held. Then the
National Committee dies natural death, to
be succeeded by an entirely new COM
mittee"
The fight between Guffey and Harrity for
the vacant place on the National Commit
tee has grown decidedly bitter, and anti
admin istration factions have plunged into
the war.

A special meeting of the Model Building

last night to consider what course will be

brothers of the latter were represented, and
it was stated they were making an effort to
raise money enough to settle all claims of
the association against him. If they sue

arrangement with the other creditors that
will result in his release from prison and
give him chance to resume business.

PLATE MILL MEN AT WORK.

Trouble at Homestead Settled, but n Strike
Likely to Be Ordered Soon.
The trouble in the 1l9-inch plate mill at
Homestead that occurred on New Years
Day has been settled, the mill starting last
night with new shear crew. Two of the
men who quit were reinstated, they having
acknowledged they were wrong quitting as
they did. The suspension of work in the
plate mill was not caused by the trouble,
but occurred during the rolling of a nickel
steel plate on Monday morning.
In fact. all the trouble spoken of in the
papers. has arisen since the advent of nickel
steel over year ago. The incident of New
Years Day was mere flash in the pan. A
more serious crisis is at hand. 1t is rlI-
mored that the National Lodge will call
the mill out on strike in support of the
demands of the men in the armor plate
mill who have asked for an increase of 200
per cent IN their wages.

Did you ever make a calculation Of

such calculations involve n loss of time,

proximate, with a certain degree Of
accuracy, tho number of souls that have
been ushercd into this wicked world
since the time when it was mot good for
Adam to be alone"
At the present time it is believed that
there are 1,4C0, 600, 600 human beings on
the globe; but let MS suppose that there
has been but an average Of SOC, 600, 600
living at any one time since the crea-
ton. Next, to give room for any possible
doubt, we will put the average length
Of Efe at fifty years. ct may have been
much longer than that 5000 years ago,
but has been much shorter for the last
1000 years.) With the average length
of life as above, we have had two gem
erations Of 900, 600, 900 each every e n
tury for the past 5000 years.

had 6G,G27 ,543, 237, O75, 266 human in

1t has often been noticed at the begin
ming of january the death is announced
Of a number of prominent men. The
reason is probably found in the fact not
that great men are more prone to die in
January than at any other time of the
year. but that the weather in that month
is unsettled, and consequently hard on
the constitution alike of great and hum
bic. Great men are only human after
all, and a great man physically weak
ened by hard work or disease is inst as
likely to die from a change Of weather
as though he were a day labOrer.
The mortality tables show that the
month Of January and the first month
of exceedingly hot weather in the sum-
mer are more fatal than any other time
Of the year, and the great must take
their chances with other people.-St.
