Veteran Daly Badly Burned and Nils
 McDowel's Eye Put Out
 HoLLIDAYsBURG, Pa, April 1.-Two town during the night by masked burglars John Daly, an old soldier. was awakened shortly after he had retired for the night by three burly men. They demanded his pen sion money which he was supposed to have concealed about the house, and he refused to give it up They then bound him hand and foot, tied him to chair, and began a horrible system of torture. First they jabbed him in the neck with a knife, beat him over the head with revolver, but still he would not tell the hiding place of his money. Next they took a lighted lamp held it under his ear, burning that organ completely. The old soldier yelled with pain and begged for mercy but the burglars only renewed their torture. Daly was res olute, however, and would not divulge the whereabouts of his wealth. Seeing that it was useless, the burglars then beat the man until he became unconscious.
 After thoroughly searching the house the burglars left and proceeded to the home of Miss Oliva McDowell, an aged woman, who IS reported to have little money. They dragged her from her bed, bound and gagged her. She was tortured in similar manner as old Daly, but she refused to tell where her money was concealed. She was hit in the left eye, and the sight destroyed. They also pierced her skull with the edge of knife, and beat her in such brutal man. ner that her life is now in danger The robbers secured nothing. There ls no clsw to their identity.

RHODE ISLAND GOES REPUBLICAN,
 BY A SMALL MAJORITY.

The Exciting Campaign Called Out the
 Largest Vote Ever Polled in the State.
 Sensational Fist Fight Between Two
 Prominent Politicians.
 PRovIDENcE, April ID. Russell Brown, Republican candidate for governor, has plurality, and the next legislature will be Republican. The ballot boxes were kept open till o'clock, and returns came in very slowly It is impossible to give an accurate estimate of Browns plurality. It may reach s,OOO, against 3,173 in the last presidential year This does not give him majority, and consequently the legislature will elect. Owing to majority requirements there were no elections in many senatorial and assem- ply districts, but there is practically no doubt that the legislature will be Repub- hcan by a reduced majority.
 The Largest Ever Polled.
 The total vote is the largest ever boiled in the state. The city of Providence gives Wardweu Dem) 10, 36s and Brown Rep.)

 ocrsts to Meet at Harrisburg.
 PHILADELPHIA, April u.-When spoken to in reference to the reported declaration of Senator Wallace in favor of having the Democratic state convention indorse Gov srnor Pattison as a candidate for president, Secretary of State William F. Harrity said II know whereof speak when state that Governor Pattison has not consented to have his name placed before the coming Democratic state convention as a candidate for president, either as the first or second choice of the Democracy of Pennsylvania. I am sure that any movement started for any such purpose would not meet with his ap- prova.
 Governor Pattison is unquestionsbly very strong in the affections and confidence of the people of this state, and if Mir Cleve- land were not a candidate 1 believe the governor would receive the united support of the Pennsylvania delegation to the Dem- ocratic national convention, as he would of the delegations from some other states. But the Democrats of this state favor Grover Cleveland.
 ''I think you may depend upon it that it will be a Standardization convention that will assemble at Harrisburg on Wednesday next, for Cleveland will be heartily indorsed as the Democratic candi- date for president, and Governor Pattison's administration will be cordially approved.@
