Matter Is to BE Disposed of-The Or
der's New Officers.
William c. McKelvey has Withdrawn the
charges of embezzlement he made against r.

GOOD LIVING.

The art of living we'll at small cost is one
that interests every woman. The shrewd
housewife is on the lookout for the best at
the least price. Flour is one of the most
common and essential articles of household
consumption. The family uses more of it
than any other article, hence the import
ance of knowing what is the best at the
price We will give you hint. The
Bayard- Amber brand of the Marshall Ken
nedy Milling Company is a medium-priced
-four that ranks with many of the so-called
best fours in the market. 1t is made by the
same process as "Camellia," the queen of
-four, and, while not as expensive or ele-
CANT as it is, can be guaranteed as the best
family flour at the price the market affords.
If you want the best at a Medium price, try
Bayard-Amber. Your grocer keeps it.

Attorney Moreland, of Pittsburg, were in

to have the Auditor General reduce this
sum to 81, 900 or wipe it out entirely The
matter was carefully discussed, but was not
settled satisfactorily.
"The conference was strictly private"
said Auditor General Gregg last evening,
land the matter will be settled in the here

the subject. After leaving the Auditor
Generals department the two prominent

BLAINE AND ALGER.

John NJ. Lsngston, tho Colored Ex-Con-
gresham, Thinks That Will Be the
Ticket-Harrison Has No Stanch Sup
porters Either in the Rouse or Senate.
Hon. John NJ. Langston, the colored ex-
member of Congress from the Fourth dis
trict of Virginia, was passenger on the
fast line last night for Washington on his
way from Nashville, Tenn, where he had
been to deliver an address to the graduating
class of the Roger Williams College.
When asked about the political situation
he said: "That is hard to surmise, but
1 don't think Harrison is in it. To
my mind there is not a Republican
Congressman or Senator in favor of his re-
nomination. I was in the House the other
day to see my friend Huff, when he gave
me this surprising news, and it was cor
roborated by Representative Townsend.
The colored race have been abused most
shamefully by the administration, and
when it came time to elect delegates we
were told that we must instruct for Harri-
son. Why should we of Virginia do so
when such leaders as New York, Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio send uninstructed dele
gates? Such doubtful State as ours can
d
the face of these returns.
'In regard to Blaine it is hard to tell but
I think he will be nominated by acclama-
tion, and what man is there who would
refuse such an honor? Blaine TO-DAY is a
sound man, and the stories of his sickness
carry me back to the convention of 1876,
when it was reported that Blaine had fallen
down and was liable to die at any minute,
and / said what matters it, nominate him
dead or alive and he will pull through, and
here we are to-day with almost the self
same stories afoaL Alger, think; Is also
a strong man, and should at least have the
second place on the ticket. With the ticket
of Blaine and Alger we can sweep the
1 was present at the confer
ence held in General Alger's residence
just after the convention in Ann Harbor
last week. What was done there I cannot
tell, but before six months have passed it
will become part of the political history
of the country.
"On June 1 will address mass meeting
of colored people in Armory Hall, Chicago, y,
where matters of interest to nv people will
be prepared to present to the Minneapolis
and we hope they will receive
the proper attention. If they don't-well,
the colored people pretty nearly hold the
balance of power" and with a knowing
shake of his head Mr.. Langston passed into
the sleeper.

FOUGHT WITH BEER GLASSES.
A Battle in Allegheny That Was interrupted
by the Police.


Richard Magraw, charged with disor-
derby conduct, and BEN amin Smith, charged
with interfering with an officer, were ar
rested yesterday afternoon on Robinson
street, near School street, Allegheny. Ma
graw and another man, whose name is not
yet known to the police, engaged in fight
about 4 o'clock. The two men were under
the influence of liquo and each picked
up couple of beer glasses and started
to fight They were soon forced to the
street, where the fight continued. Magraw
broke the glass he held over his opponents
head, and in return was cut about the face
His adversary, however, suffered most. He
was cut in many places about his face, head
and hands A large crowd collected, and
many encouraged the contest by side re-
marks. Officer Templeton was called, and
arrested Magraw. He would also have had
the other tighter had not Smith interfered
and assisted the man to escape. Magraw
and Smith were sent to the
Allegheny Central station. Neither of
them would divulge the name of the man
who fought with Magraw. 1t was learned
by the police later in the evening that the
man was cut severely, but his name or
whereabouts could not be ascertained.

THE TREASURER MISSING.
John Mccormick, Custodian OF tho Jour
neymen Horseshoers' Union Financrs,
Leaves Town, and Is Said TO Have
Taken $500 With Him,

John Mccormick, Custodian OF the Jour
neymen Horseshoers' Union Finances,
Leaves Town, and Is Said TO Have
Taken $500 With Him.
Treasurer John Mccormick, of the Jour-
neymen Horseshoers Union, has left town,
and is said to have taken $500 of the Or
ganization's money with him.
About two weeks ago the Horseshoers'
Union wanted to send delegate to the
National Convention of the association at
Boston. 1t took funds to do it. The treas
urer was called upon, and that gentleman said
the treasury was empty. This was consid-
cred very peculiar thing by the other
members of the union. They, however, did
not inquire into the matter too closely on
that dav. This was on a Saturday, and on
the following Tuesday Mr.. Mccormick
quietly left the city.
1t was the desire of the union to keep the
matter very quiet, and it succeeded
in doing so until yesterday. When
Mr.. Mccormick could not produce
the funds suspicious were aroused. The
members thought there ought to be about
$500 in the treasury, as the horseshoers had
ball some time ago, and the proceeds of
that, together with other moneys, would
iOOt Iidt
showed they we're right. Mccormick, it is
said, had used the money, hoping to pay it
back. When he found that the default had
been discovered he left the city. The
union was left in bad shape, but as the
treasurer was not required to give bond
the union had no way of recovering. 1t
thought best to keep the matter quiet,
hoping Mccormick would come back and
square up. Two weeks have now gone past
and he has not returned The union is now
preparing to look the man up.
Mccormick was employed at Whitesell's
blacksmith shop on West Diamond street,
Allegheny, and lived in the rear of Is West
Diamond. His wife and two children are
there yet. They say they do not know
where he is. Mccormick was always con-
sidered good fellow among his associates,
but loved having pretty lively time.
