THE VOTE IN MIDLOTHIAN.
LONDON, July Midnight The re-
suit Of the contest in Midlothian yester-
day has surprised Conservatives and
| Liberals alike. Mr. Gladstone is elected
| by majority of only 600
Col. Wauchope, Mr.. GlAdstone's OPP
ponent, is one Of the most distinguished
of the younger members of the army.
| He has vet to make his mark in politics.
| Family influence, hard canvassing, local
issues each and all had share in pro-
| ducing the result, but, after making due
| allowances for these, there is a large dc.
lection Of Liberal voters still unaccounted
for, and for which some deeper cause
| must be found. Even the most ardent
Liberal realizes this fact and is sad.

after these historical allusions could discuss
the business of the city at present.
something That Is Badly Needed.
ri think something of this kind is badly
needed. I received some time ago a little
book issued by the James River Packet
Company. I was surprised at the amount
of information it furnished about the coun-
try along that river. 1t was complete and 1
was very much interested. The South has
been greatly helped by this plan of booming
their cities"
&. Regarding a statement in yesterdays
paper Colonel Roberts desires a correction
to be made. He says he is at loss to ex-
plain how he could have been made to say
that: "Some people sneer at the Chamber
of Commerce. In conversation with the
reporter, whose notes were very briefly
taken, he had dwelt for moment in re-
sponse to question in regard to the nature
of the Chambers work, and had stated that
it was largely taken up in discussing pro-
posed State and national legislation affect
ing business interests in Western Pennsyl-
vania, and that its work in these directions
had been followed by good results. Per-
haps the expression, "such work is not to
be sneered at" was employed by himself or
someone else at the committee table. AT
all events, Colonel Roberts now desires to
have it said that he has heard but little dis
sent at any time to the recommendations
and actions of the Chamber in the various
matters in which it has taken Part.
Some Lack Of General knowledge.
The reason that citizens, not members of
the Chamber, are not generally SO well in
formed regarding the Chambers methods,
probably arises from the fact that the body
meets through its delegates or directors,
about 80 in all, annually elected. These
meetings are held every two weeks, and to
this body and its committees all business is
committed. 1t is proper to add that, in ad-
dition to the 80 directors, many more mem-
bers are represented upon the various COM
mittees, such as transportation and rail-
roads, finance and banking, rivers and
harbors, legislation, mineral products,
manufacturing, statistics, Pan-American
trade, Worlds Fair, etc. Communications
and inquiries from abroad and from our
own citizens and from Chambers in other,
cities, are constantly being received and
attended toby the committees to which they
are referred.
Representative Dalzell will leave WASH
ington this evening" several days before mis-
intended departure to attend his conven-
tion, that he may be present at the Chamber
OF Commerce banquet.

SET In A GARDEN.

Locating the Site of the Phipps Conserva-
tory - The Structure to Be Built OF
Pittsbure Iron and Glass-LocaI Labor
to BE Employed.
L. Pearson, who will be supervising
architect of the proposed Phipps Conserva-
tory, went out to Schenley Park with Chief
Bigelow yesterday and discussed the loca-
tion of the building. As previous
ly announced. the site selected
is that at present occupied by the stables to
the right of the Forbes street entrance be-
yond the bridge. The main building will
front toward Forbes street and will be set
well back, leaving large expanse of open
ground for planting in flower beds This
garden will be one of the features of the
park, and will include all the novelties in
the way of sun dials, calendars, carpet de-
signs and other beautiful creations of the
florist to be seen in other cities.
Mr.. Pearson says the iron and steel used
In the construction of the conservatory will
all be purchased in this city, sent to New
York to Lord g. Burnham's works for
shaping up and cutting and then will be
brought back and put up. This firm makes
a business of building Conservatives, which
are all iron and glass except the founda-
tions, and they buy nearly all their
material in this city, Their plate glass is
supplied from the works at Creighton, but
the ground glass is bought all over the
country, no one city being able to supply
them fast enough when they have a big con-
tract on hand.
With the exception of a few men they
will bring from their own works to super
wise the construction of the building, Lord
& Burrham say they will employ local
labor entirely and that the bulk of the
money to be expended will be distributed
in this city.

is more than desirable to the Republican
party, it is a necessity.
Elaine the Most Desirable Candidate.
Emanuel Wertheimer, Select Councilman
from the Third ward-Blaine is the most
desira bic candidate by far. He not only has
the good will of the public at large, OF the
entire country, but also has their earnest
and hearty support, and provided his health
will permit him to run for the nomination,
they will labor for election with more zest
than they ever have for Presidential can
didate. He is political power ana the ne
publican party would be assured of success
Dy his simple nomination. am In favor OF
fervently hope that his health will permit
him to allow his name to be used at the
Minneapolis convention.
Major William Kennedy, Mayor-1 am in
favor of Blaine as a Presidential nominee,
and think if his health permits him to run
for the nomination that his election will
certainly follow. He is the strongest man
from political standpoint, that is living
to-day.
George Elphinstone, City SolicitorLThere
is no doubt of the desirability of Blaine's
nomination. His party is with him, and
has had most successful career during his
term as Secretary of State and has won the
affections of the entire public. He Will be
nominated without a struggle, believe, II
his health permits him to accept. Blaine
should head the party ticket If they wish to
succeed.
Arthur Kennedy, Select Councilman from
the First ward-Blaine's nomination means
his election, and, as party success 1s what
the Republicans are desirous of obtaining,
his name should head the ticket. Blaine is
the most popular man in the United States
and is without doubt the man who is the
most eminently fitted for the exalted rank
OF President.
Blaine Would Be Successful.
City Controller Brown-Blaine is the man
for the nomination and If his health per-
mits him to accept the party will undoubted-
ly succeed.
Charles Robinson, eH-Congressman from
Allegheny-Baine is the political power of
America, and the Republican party is GER
tain of success with him at the head of the
ticket.
q. j. Schondelmeyer, Councilman from the
Seventh w0rd-As for the desirability of
Blaine's nomination, there can be no ques-
tion of it. He has the support of the entire
public, and his nomination is synonymous
with election and consequently his name
should head the party ticket
A. Ii. Mercer, Councilman from the Sixth
ward-1f Blaine's health permits him to
accept the nomination he will most cer-
tainlv be elected.
William Thomas, Councilman from the
Sixth ward-I am for Blaine most enthus-
lastically. He is the man for the party's
success. and it should be the prayer of every
Republican that his health will permit him
to accept the nomination.
W. w. Nesbit Councilman from the Tenth
ward-Blaine's nomination means bis elec-
tion and his name should head the Repub-
lican ticket.
Frank Curry, 81 West Ohio street-Blaine's
means his election. He is the
most desirable man in the Republican party.

LIBERTY STREET AGAIN.

j. Fl. skeletons Livery Stable and Several
Adjoining Tcnemsnts Make $4,000
Fire Last Night-Ihs Loss Is Fully Cow
cred by Insurance.
J. H. Skeletons livery stable at Twelfth
street and Spring alley was totally burned
and a number of tenements on Liberty ave-
nue. were irreparably damaged about II
o'clock last night. The loss will not exceed
$4,000. The property is all owned by Mel
Ion & Sons, and partially insured.
The livery stable runs from Twelfth street
back 1O5 feet to the stables of the Philadel-
phia Company. The space from Twelfth
street, on Liberty avenue, to the Philadel-
phia Company's stable is occupied by a
rickety old three-story brick building. The
lower story is filled with little shops
and the second and third stories are
inhabited by Italians and other foreigners
The fire is supposed to have originated by
a spark from one of the chimneys of
the tenements alighting on the hay
in the stable The building burned
rapidly. The flames quickly spread to the
tenements and for little while it looked rs
though the whole block would be destroyed.
The fire department responded very quickly
and did good work.
Two of Mr.. Skeletons employees were in
the stable when the fire broke out, and they
succeeded in getting all of the % horses out.
Two or three of the carriages and buggies
were saved and 18 carriages were burned.
His loss was about $4,000 He was fully
insured.
The tenement houses were very thickly
populated, and when the fire broke out
babies and furniture were tumbled out into
the street in great profusion. The iremen had
great trouble in getting through the rooms
as there were five and six beds in each apart
ment. Nearly all of these places were
greatly damaged. All of the buildings
were condemned by the Building Inspector
about six months ago.
After the fire was out all of the Italians
moved back into the burned building, as
many as % finding quarters in one room.

SOUTHSIDERS FOR BLAINE.

Unanimous in Dec,aring for the Secretary
strain-One Reason Given for Opposi-
tion to Harrison.
The devoted admirers of Secretary Blaine
are many, and the following interviews
show they are not afraid to declare them
selves:
Alderman Succop-I have always been a
great admirer of Mr.. Blaine. 1t has always
been my desire to see him President.
Select Councilman Benz-I would like to
see Mr. Blaine made the nominee He is my
preference.
Alderman Beinhauer-Blaine is my choice,
first last and always
ID. Z. Carle-Blaine is the greatest leader
America has to-day. He is the only man
who can defeat the opposition at this time.
i do not think, though, he is an aspirant
but will accept an unanimous nomination.
Charles Ott-Blaine is my man. / think he
Is the strongest man in the country. l have
nothing against Harrison's administration.
but it is now the man who can carry the Re-
publican party to victory, and that man is
Blaine.
Blaine Is His First Choice.
William Wigman-Blaine is my choice if
can be nominated. The only trouble l can
see i'll his election is that the administration
might be against him. He is also in delicate
Healtn ana VIII nave to nave q gOOQ strong
man on the ticket with him.
Alderman McGeary-There is no stronger
man we could nominate than Blaine. He is
the best friend protection has. He would
make an especially good President for
Pittsburg interests, as he has always taken
a great interest in this city. l do not think
he will accept the nomination.
Prothonotary John Bradley-Blaine is the
one statesman who is standing out eminently
to-day. He is typical American. Mr.
Blaine cannot very well allow his name to
go before the convention, but the nomina-
tion can be thrust upon him, and
think it will be. He is the one man who can
lead the party to victory. Harrison has
made a good President. but he lacks that
personal magnetism Blaine possesses and
he cannot draw the people to him like the
man from Maine.
Always for James G. Blaine.
Hon. Z. E. Cotton-I am for Blaine. 1 have
always been ever since he has been men
toned for the Presidency.
Councilman John Vogt-Blaine is my
choice.
W. H. Aldred-Blaine is the man the peo-
pie want.
DIR. a. j. Barchfield-For me, Blaine is the
only man in the country. His statesman
ship has given Harrisons administration
everything it has. Without Blaine the pres
ent Cabinet would have but little showing
He has got to accept providing his health
will permit. 1 would not like to see
Mr.. Harrison renominated- think
the American people are educated up to too
high a standard that there is not man
good enough to succeed himself as President
of the United States. Blaine would be an
easy man to re-elect.
County Commissioner Mercer-There is no
man who could get as many votes as Blaine
The only trouble is that the Secretary's
health may not permit. l would like to sec
him President If he can possibly stand the
strain.

AN ACT0R-MAsHER KNOCKED OUT,
His Attempt to Mash a Woman I'm Red
Brings Him to Grief

Brings Him to Grief
NEW YORK, May 25.-[Special ]-Actor
o. II. Barr, who is playing Bob Briefly in
the "Ticket-ot-Leave Man" at Miners
Theater in Newark, this week, was badly
punished for "mashing," last night. Barr
and Electrician Kyhur left the side door of
the theater shortly after II o'clock. A
woman clad in red passed by and Barr
stopped and said, "Ah, there?' A second
or two later Mr.. Barr was lying on the side
walk, completely knocked out. A big
man wearing a light overcoat did it. He
was evidently the escort of the woman in
red, and he had heard the actors salutation.
He launched out with his right and caught
MIR. Barr On the left eye.
AS the actor toppled over he stood him
up again, it is said, with blow behind the
ear, and followed it up with another right
handler on the mouth. Mr.. Barr thsn
dropped like a log, and his assailant walked
away quickly and Joined the woman. Barr
was carried to the office of physician. He
had black eye and split lip to-day, and
complained of stiff neck, but thought he
would be able to play his part. The police
made prolonged search for his assailant,
but failed to find him.

ALLEGHENY ENTHUSIASM.

Blaine Believed TO BE the Only Man Who
Can Bring Cut the Full Strength of His
Farty-Most Pop uIar Man in the United
States.
The name of Blaine evokes great en-
thusiasm on the Northside, as is shown BY
the following:
Z. L. Braun, Alderman of the First ward
There is not an iota of doubt in my mind
but what the American people of each and
every class, from the workman to the theo-
logian, would hail Blaine's nomination with
a zeal that no other name could arouse
With his name on the head of the Republi-
can ticket the party would be as certain and
as positive of receiving the electoral vote
for the Presidency as they would of losing
that vote with any other name at the top. l
think the American people expect to cast
their vote for Blaine and feel safe in posi-
lively asse rting that his nomination means
election. His dash and brilliancy in
things pertaining to national affairs,
exhibited during his term as Secretary OF
State, have populariZed him with the people
to a Tar greater extent than his political
enemies concede to him. There is no me-
cessity conceding that popularity for 1T is
a well known as is anything in political
life. If his health permits, his nomir ltion
