REPUBLICAN HOPES AROUSED

by q Split in the Ranks of the Tennessee
Democrats.
NASHVILLE, July 30-Governor John
P. Buchanan to-day withdrew his name
for denomination before the Democratic
Convention. In the course of card issued,
he saws: "a radical faction, the majority
of the leaders of which have been conspicu-
Gus in the past in Tennessee politics as
''Sky-Blue Bolsters," inaugurated a plan
for disruption. They commenced vim
dictive warfare upon all who did not yield
obedience to their decree. When these
forces had been marshaled in battle array,
an edict Of prescription was issued as auto
cratic as ever came from the Gar of Russia.
They propose to challenge the vote of every
Democrat who belonged to the organization
of farmers and laborers and prescribe him
from the party"
Two years ago Governor Buchanan was
elected by over 10000 majority, the largest
given any candidate in this State for many
years. 1t is stated on good authority that
Governor Buchanan will in few days an
nounce himself an independent candidate
for Governor, in which event he will re-
ceive the support Of the Farmers Alliance,
which is very strong in this State. The
Republicans are jubilant over the expected
split in the Democratic ranks, and predict
that their party will meet with success in
the State, as they did in 1880.

Arrests Made That M " stop the Stealing Of
Market Wagons.
For months pas. complaints have been
made to the police department by market
gardeners that their wagons have been
stolen, and by the time they were recov-
cred, usually in day or two, the contents
would be removed. Yesterday Detective
McTighe and Lieutenant Gallant made q
couple of arrests that are expected to stop
the complaints as we'll as the thefts. The
wagon of L. Hufnagle, of McKee's Rocks,
was stolen early in the morning from the
corner of Union street and the Dia-
mond. 1t contained some $50 worth
OF goods. Lieutenant Gallant made
study of the case, and IN
q few hours he had arrested a colored man
named George Brown for the theft.
The prisoner was induced to talk and i'm
plicated another man, Tom Moore, in the
case. Moore is white n,an and waiter in
a Liberty street restaurant Detective Nc
Tighe took hand in the case at this stage
and arrested Moore The officers then went
to Moore's house, near the corner of Web
ster avenue and Roberts street, where they
found lot of the produce and some of Huff
nagle s. market baskets. The wagon was
found on Washington street about2 o'clock,
where it had been abandoned. Brown
stated they had peddled the goods on the

The Manufacturer Desire Arbitration but
Nothing Is Accomplished.
At Woods Run yesterday the local lodges
of the Amalgamated Association and the
management Of both the oliver Iron and
Steel Company and the Pittsburg Forge
and Iron Company met at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon at Hartman's Hall on Preble
avenue. The meeting was called at the re-
quest of the manufacturers who are making
an effort to have their differences with their
employees settled by board Of arbitration.
The workmen did not seem to favor the
planks of the iron workers and contested
every point advanced by their employers.
Frank Richardson, Secretary of the Pitts
burg Forge and Iron Company, was the
principal speaker In the course of his re-
marks he stated that it was his wish to have
the difficulty with the men settled peace
fully, as he had no desire to run a nom
union mill and would not if he could. He
further stated that it had been demon
strated time and time again to his
satisfaction that a union mill was more
profitable than non-union mill
Notwithstanding the fair tenor of his re-
marks the men did not seem to be affected,
and it was finally adjourned without ac-
complaining anything.

ATLANTA, GA, July 30.-Managing
Editor Howell, of the Constitution. upon his
return to this city from the Chicago Con-
vention, wrote to ex-President Cleveland
that whatever might have been the differ
ences among Georgia Democrats as to who
should be nominated they had all been
harmonized by the arbitrament of the con-
vention and he would receive the cordial
support of the Constt ution. In reply to Mr..
Howell's letter Mr.. Cleveland sent the fol-
lowing:
MY DEAR S1R-The receipt Of your letter
has gratified me exceedingly. 1t has tone
of true Democracy about 1t and 10 pervaded
with a sort OF Democratic frankness which
principle OF party organization IL what you
80 admirably express "a an acceptance of
the "arbitrament of tie National Conven-
tion." On the other hand, 1t is as fully the
duty of one opposed to shut his mind and
heart to any feeling OF resentment that
based upon honest Judgment and a con-
scientious desire for party success.
am not surprised, though / am graft
fed, by the assurance that to the close of
the campaign your own services and the
Invaluable influence of the Constitution will
he dev oted tn the fight for Democratic sue
cess. 1t honestly seems to me that the
Democrats who are not at this time loyal to
the cause are recreant to the country. Per-
sonal advancement is nothing; the triumph
OF the principles we advocate is everything.
Hoping that we may congratulate each
other on glorious result IN November,
am, yours sincerely,

Were the Effects OF Old SoPs Wrath in
Philadelphia Last Week.
PHILADELPHIA, July 30.-Although the
high temperature of the past few days was
considerably lowered to-day, there were
80 names added to the list of its victims,
most of them persons who had been weak
ened by the protracted heat and finally sue
cumbed. While the thermometers showed
decided change for the better, the large
percentage of humidity prevented the cool
wave from being fully realized. At 8
A. NJ. the temperature was ITO; at P. M.
the maximum was $40; at P. M. $50, and
the mean temperature 800, all of which,
compared with yesterdays figures, show
the city to have been cooler to-day by 90,
although the temperature is still 80 above
the normal. A thunder storm about dusk
left 1-5 of an inch of rainfall here and
full inch at Camden, n. j.
The effects of the terrible heat of the past
week was startlingly shown by the regular
weekly report made to-day to the Board of
Health by Health Officer Veale. From 10
o'clock on last Saturday till noon to- day
Health Officer Veale issued $40 death GER
tifcates. This is a greater mortality than
ever recorded by the Office before. This
death rate, indicated by the $40 certificates,
is ever greater than when the epidemics Of
the grip, or even cholera, smallpox or diph-
liberia scourged the city.

INTENSE HEAT OVER FOR THE SUMNER

ESPECIAL TELEeRAM TO TEE DISPATCH,
NEW YORK, July 30.-The number of
deaths reported at the Bureau of Vital
Statistics for the "a hours ending at noon
to-day was 286, an increase of 63 over that
Of the previous dav. To-day's record was
the nearest approach to the highest death
rate ever recorded. This was on July 3,
1872, when the record reached 351.
The number of deaths recorded the past
week was !, 1,434 Estimating the popula-
tion at 1, ,832, 473, the rate was 40 SO, against
30. 80 for the previous week. The average
for the five years SINCE 1886 for the corres-
pondlng period was 2S.33 There were 773
deaths Of children under years, against
647 during the previous week. There were
29O deaths in public institutions and 9S5
among the tenements. The hot weather of
the week was largely responsible for the
high mortality
To-day was but little better than the
previous days. At 1 A. NJ to-day the
official temperature was "a, but it was much
higher on the street level. At II o'clock it
was $40. and at o'clock it fuctuated be-
tween 800 and $3.50. The last was the
nlgneSt point reacneO. Inc numlulty rose
to IS per cent in the morning, and did not
go below IS during the day. Showers were
expected to clear the air, but they were
very slow in Undertaking., although the
sun was hidden behind clouds during
large part of the day.
The hot weather seems to have been more
anxious to remain in New York than In any
other place, for it lett this city only after
it had been driven out of every other. To-
day New York was the center of about all
the hot weather in this section of the
country. The cold wave was central in the
lake regi ons and New England. 1t was
raining heavily in New England and North
ern New York.
At sA. NJ Norfolk had the record for the
greatest heat in the country, with temper
ature of $40. Helena, Mont, with $40,
was the coolest place.
Mr.. Dunn says he does not believe there
will be any more intensely hot days this
summer. The records of previous summers
show that one hot spell is all that is found
in one season. He says that there will be
hot days, but none of such fierce heat as We
have Just experienced Last year the hot
spell came in the middle of June and lasted
three days. Thereafter the summer was
comparatively cool.
Up to midnight there had been reported
for the day in New York 20 deaths from the
heat and 43 prostrations. In Brooklyn
there were 10 deaths and score of pros

ANTISEPTIC SURGERY.

A Home, p,thic Hospital Doctor DiIates
Upon the subj ct-wonderfui Results
Obtained by the Use of the Method in

A staff doctor of the Homeopathic
Hospital dilating upon the value
of antiseptic method in surgery
said to DISPATCH reporter:
"Evervone admits that the practical re-
suits obtained by using the method in its
entirety are simply marvellous Take tor
example few of the cases now in our hos
pital We have two cases of operations
performed for white swelling of the knee
Joint One had not walked for IA years and
the other tor five years. 1t is well known
that this joint is the most important one in
the whole body. The operation for this
disease is called resection Of the knee joint,
and consists in the removal of both surfaces
of the joint, including the knee-cap, by
which means the bones are brought together
and pinned there by steel spikes In order
to do this it is plain that the whole joint has
to opened up and the ligaments COM
pletely severed. The two cases mentioned
we're operated upon under antiseptic con-
ditions and then put into permanent dress
ings and were not disturbed in the slightest
degree for five weeks When opened for
the removing of the spikes not one drop of
pus was found. 1t is now eight weeks and
they have been dressed for the second time
and are substantially we'll.

He Shows What NJ Members Must Do to Make
1t a Working Organization.
PATERSON, N. j., July 30.-Mr. Cleve-
land, in response to a letter apprising him
of the organization of Democratic cam
paign club in Acquackanonk township,
Passaic county, of which James Clancy is
President, wrote to that gentleman as fol-
lows:
You may rest assured that I have by no
means forgotten your visits to me. 1t is a
source of great qualification to hear of you
as prominent in the organization Of a cam
pafgn club at your home in Passaic county.
It is quite in keeping with your Democratic
tendencies, and an illustration that you we'll
understand the value of thorough Demo-
cratic organization.
believe the success of the pending cam
paign depends largely upon the efforts of
such clubs as that which has been started at
your home. There Is sometimes a lack of
effectiveness IN such organizations arising
out of failure to make them working clubs.
Their purpose should be, not merely to bring
about the association Of those already well
grounded in the Democratic faith, but to
draw in new converts and to fix those who
are wavering in their political preferences.
Every member of such a club should.
think, consider himself committee OF one
to bring within the influence of the club
some person whose vote could not otherwise
be secured to the Democratic cause.

the collection was quite large, being several
