MAYOR MOSBY FOR BLAINE.

CincinnatPs Mayor Meets the PIumed

Favorite, the Man from Maine.
CINCINNATI. Jan. 23.-[ Special. Mayor
Mosby, who was in Washington some days,
working to secnre the Democratic National
Convention for Cincinnati, returned to-day.
He was asked: "Did you meet President
Harrison?'
"No, but 1 saw Secretary Blaine. Some
of the Ohio delegation we're invited to din
ner BY John R. Mclean. In the party
were Congressman Caldwell and Storer and
myself The dinner was given OF Mr.. Nc
Leans house, and we h d hardly got seated
at the table before Secretary Blaine was
announced. The Plumed Knight entered
the room before the astonished guests had
time to recover from the announc
all cordially and took a seat at the table.
For a man with the work on hand that
Blaine has, he looked remarkably well. He
walks upright, with firm tread, and his
eyes are as bright as dollar. True, he is
pale, and at times seems careworn, but this
is caused by nothing but overwork, think,
and in fact, he remarked that he had no
cause to complain of his health at present
'eDid he speak as TO his candidacy"
'No, not in the sense of saying that he
was candidate"
"What do you mean?"
sWelI, you can generally form a pretty
good idea of a subject when you look at it
right and put this and that together
7sDo you think it was set-up Job when
the Ohio delegation was invited to McLean's
for dinner?"

want to say that, but 1 formed my own
opinion about the matter, as 1 have a right

will be candidate for President?"

And DR.. Booth Thinks 1t Will Be Accepted
as It Stands.
NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-[ Special. Rev.
DR.. Robert r. Booth, one of the members
of the Presbyterian Committee on Revision,
sion of faith, which was completed yester-
day, was final The report of the last re-
vision committee, together with all the mass
of suggestions, propositions and comments
on that report made by the various Presby-
teries, wasturned over to the Revision Com
mittee, which has labored in this city dur
ing the last .wo weeks, TO be con-
sidered thoroughly in the preparation
of revised confession of faith, with
the understanding that such revision
was to be final. A limit had to be set or
revision might have gone on indefinitely in
futile effort to secure complete harmony.
The revised confession will be sent down to
the Presbyteries Of the country by the next
Assembly for adoption or rejection Further
propositions will not be received. 1t will
be either the amendments proposed by the
committee or none at all.
'It is not choice of two things" said
DR.. Booth, ''but either one or nothing. The
amendments will be accepted or rejected,
and if rejected the old confession stands.
But strongly believe that the amendments
suggested by the committee will be accepted.
The work of the committee was a series
of substantial victories, or L might Soy
encouragements, for the revisionists-the
progressive section of the church., as it is
termed by some. 1t was impossible to
reconcile all the propositions, and every
one of them was thoroughly debated. But
I. think the amendments, as made by the
are such as will be accepted by
at least large majority Of those desiring
revision, and practically, hope really, by
the whole church,

when the bank of war fog swept over it ten
days ago. Some of the officers ridicule the
idea that there will be any real conflict be-
tween the United States and Chile, while on
the other hand some are not so sanguine
tha. there will be peaceful termination of
the present controversy. AT the same time
both Junior and senior officers who have

fact that the Chileans are an uncertain
quantity when in condition of mental
commotion as at present, and there is class
of people-merchants and bankers, as
rule-in Valparaiso standing at the caul-

element and stimulating them to the highest
pressure, so that boil-over is likely to
occur at anv time.

NEWS ITEMS FROM THREE STATES

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.l
SOMERSET, Pa, July 18-A futter of
excitement was created on the streets of this
place this afternoon when it became known
that there had been a Jail delivery. About
2:30 o'clock several young ladies, residing In
in the east end of town, observed two men
running down the street at full speed. As
there was no apparent occasion for their
running at such pace on such a hot day
the young ladies at once concluded that
they had broken Jail
Policeman Gumbert happened to be in the
neighborhood, and the young ladies told
him of their suspicious. The officer retired
to the county prison, where he found a rope
made of two sheets hanging from one of the
rear windows on the upper floor The bars
had been sawed from the window, and ac-
cess through it to the ground was very easy.
An inspection of the Jail showed that only
three inmates had escaped. They are James
Murphy, John Roberts and William Dough-
erty, all being held for trial on charge OF
having burgiarized two stores in Myersdale
one night last March.
None of the Jail officials were ir town at
the time OF the escape, and no one started
in pursuit Of them until several hours af-
terward They hsve not been overtaken
at midnight. Murphy is an old-timer, hav-
ing served a four years term in the peni-
tentiary from this county, and he is likely
to lead the officers long chase before he is
recaptured. His companions are strangers
in this community.
This is the fourth general Jail delivery
from Somerset county's new Jail that has
taken place since it was erected three years
ago, and it is now apparent that prisoners
cannot be held secure in it unless confined
in seperate cells
