TATHs VIEW OF THE T1cKEr

Harrity and Hensel Carried Out Governor
Pattison's Instructions.
A few struggling shouters and delegates
from Chicago passed through the city last
evening going home. The body of the
Democrats struck the city during the day.
The Pennsylvania road handled eight sec
tions up till o'clock, and there were three
sections in the evening. The crowds cleaned
out the restaurant in the Union depot, and
they surged into the st. James Hotel and
the eating saloons near by.
Among the Democrats at the depot last
evening were II. D. Tate. private secretary
for Governor Pattison; John NJ. Reynolds
and 6. M. Harry, delegates from Bedford;
:. l.. Mestrezat, of Uniontown; Dr. E. A.
Sharpneck, Greene county, and James F.
Brown, secretary of the Central Committee;
Paul Reagan and James Ray, District of
Columbia. Mr.. Tate said that Harrity and
Hensel had carried out Governor Pattison's
instructions strictly. His name was not
mentioned in the convention, and he was
for Cleveland first, last and all the time
The Governor is delighted with Growers
nomination.
Mr.. Tate thinks that Stevenson will
greatly strengthen the ticket, as he will be
popular with the radical Democrats who
are opposed to Cleveland's policy of retain
ing Republicans In Office under the civil
service.

| The Body of q Dependent German Found in
the River-Henry Yunker Throws Him.
self Under Traln-An Unknown Itaitan
Hangs Himself
An unknown man, evidently a German,
about IS years of age, suiclded by drowning
in the Monongahela river at the foot of
South Third street Thursday night, but the
dead man was not discovered until yester-
day morning. The man had been loltering
around the Castle Shannon Coal Works all
day Thursday, and, in conversation with
the teamsters at the works, said he was
very sick. When the men quit work in the
evening he was still there, but later he was
seen going down South Third street toward
the river. His body was found on South
First street at 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. 1t was taken to Wards undertaking
rooms, but no one recognizes it. The de-
ceased wore shabby clothes, had sandy hair
and mustache and weighed about 140
pounds.
Henry Yunker adopted horrible method
for committing suicide yesterday morning.
As shifting engine wes passing Thirty
road with a train of empty passenger
coaches Yunker threw himself under
the wheels of car in the middle
OF the train. The wheels of one
car had passed over him, mangling his body
in a horrible manner before the train was
brought to a standstilL Domestic troubles
led to the suicide. Yunker was butcher,
lived on the upper floor of No. 1142 Penn
avenue, and was the father of 13 children,
of whom are living For some months
he had been quarreling with his fam
ily, abusing his children and
has recently had number of suits entered
against him. Agent O'Brien, of the Hu-
name Society. got after him last week and
entered suit before Alderman Donovan,
charging Yunker with abusing and neglecting
his children. Yunker failed to appear at the
hearing Thursday evening and yesterday
morning a constable started in search of
him. It was claimed he suicided to avoid
arrest, but a letter found on the body shows
the act was premeditated. The letter ac-
cuses Rothlein. the butcher who occupies
the first floor of the house 1142 Penn ave-
nue., with being the cause of the suicides
troubles, and charges his son and daughter
with having deceived him and stolen his
goods. The inquest will be held to-day.
Some children playing around an old
abandoned dwelling at Bridgeville yester-
day morning were startled BY finding, on
the upper floor of the building, the chastity
corpse of man hanging suspended BY q
rope from a cross beam. The authorities
were notified, but no one could identify the
body. The man was evidently an italian,
about 38 wears of age, and had not been
hanging long. Squire McMillen, OF Mans
field, was authorized by the Coroner to IN
vestigate the case, and an inquest will be
held to-day.

BOTH SIDES SATISFIED.

The Taking of Testimony in the Maryland
Central Case Concluded in Pittsburg-
Over S1,OOO,O 900 Loaned by Local Banks
on Various Stocks as Collateral
The last of the testimony wanted from
Pittsburg in the Maryland Central case was
taken up yesterday, and the commission
was closed Nothing remains now but tc
report the evidence to the Baltimore courts.
O. P. Scaife and A. Groetzinger, Presi.
dent of the German National Bank, were
the only witnesses examined. Mr.. Scalfe
said he was in Europe at the time the Ter
minal Company scheme was Matched and
he didn't know anything about it. Marvin
S. Scaife, his brother, is now in Paris,
where he has been for over a year. John
Henry Miller said yesterday that Marvin
Scaife hadn't lost any money in the deal, on
the contrary he had made some.
At the conclusion Of the hearing Mr..
Schoyer said he had no objections to telling
the bankers what his object was in getting
their testimony. He wanted to know what
had become of the assets of the various
companies. He added that he would prob
ably hold everybody concerned, bankers
and all, before he got through. The bank
ers. when they found the reporters were ex-
cluded, testified very freely and told in de-
tail just what had been lost. The testimony
shows that it will be difficult to trace the
money. It was developed that over 81, ,OOO,-
600 were taken out of Pittsburg. The
money was loaned on the stocks of the
companies as collateral There were 5000
shares of Penn Anthracite stock, and it was
loaded down with bonds mounting
to 81, 900, 900, in addition to the mortgage
for the purchase money, a legitimate debt.
Mr.. Schoyer, for the plaintiff, holds that
the money should have been invested for
the benefit of the company. The Penn An
thracite stock was the one used chiefly for
collateral. Mr. Schoyerv is satisfied with
the evidence, and will 60 to Baltimore next
to take testimony there.
During the hearing NJ. H. Houseman
kept up constant fire of objections. He
said afterward that the case could easily be
settled as the other suits. had been, but
Gustave Lindenthal is in the background,
and he wants too much. Mr.. Lindenthal
put in claim of 50. 900 for salary and 81, 900
for a number of shares of stock that he held
Mr. Houseman said as the Baltimore peo-
pie had been guided by Mr.. Lindenthal
they thought it was rubbing it in, and they
refused to pay. He added that if the al
legations in Mrs. Du> Puy's bill could be
proved, the Baltimore crowd would have to
stand the loss. He thinks up to date there
isn't particle of evidence to support the
allegations in the bill.

JUMPED FROM A sKIFF.

Little John B. ..Crookston ID Drowned While
His Companion Is Saved.
The drowning of little John B. Crooks
ton, at Verona, has caused general sorrow
in that borough. The little fellow is the
only son of John Crookston, the leading
business man of the town, and was 10 years
old. With Wallace Randolph he went
down to 1.-The river on Thursday
evening and jumped into skiff
moored along the shore. The rope
broke and the skiff began to drift away,
frightening the boys, who jumped into the
water. A ferryman short distance below
ran 20 their assistance and saved the Ran
dolph boy, but before he reached the other
he had drowned.
Although he had only been in the water
about six minutes the little fellow was dead
when taken out. The Coroner's jury found
verdict of accidental drowning yesterday.

NOT A JUDICIAL CANDIDATE.

George W. Massey, of Delaware, Says He Is
Not After Bradley's PIace-HarrIson a
Bright and Shining Political Light
Can Beat Cleveland
George w. Massey, the Worlds Fair
Commissioner for Delaware, was passen-
ger on the limited last evening bound for
Chicago. He was one of Harrison's strong
est leaders on the floor of the convention at
Minneapolis, and shortly after the nomina-
tion was made it was announced that he
had been rendered Bradley's place on the
United States Supreme bench. Mr.. Massey
said the report was canard, and added that
he was not candidate for the position.
He understood his name had been used, but
that was all he knew about it. He thought
Delaware was too small State and he was
too small man to be put on the Supreme
Bench.
George Shiras, Jr., of Pittsburg, is can
didate. but there are many who believe that
Massey will be the man. The Delaware
lawyer did some great work for the Presi-
dent, and it is believed place on the Su-
preme bench will be his reward.
Harrison" said Mr.. Massey, sis
is the bright and shining light of
the age in politics. His nomination
was the wisest that could have been made.
I have always been for Blaine, and at Gin
cinnati in 1876 Delaware voted for Blaine
once oftener than Maine. In 1884 stood
by him through thick and thin when the
politicians from Pennsylvania who wanted
Blaine this time voted solidly against him.
They thwarted the wishes of the people
in the State. This year a new condition
confronted us, and fair play demanded the
denomination of Harrison. Blaine virtually
invited him to be a candidate. know it is
claimed that the Presidents friends forced
him to write the letter of declination, but
have seen no evidence to prove it. Har-
rison will be reelected with big ma
jority."
Mr.. Massey referred with pride to the
manner in which the Harrison delegates
held together. He said Depew and he were
put down in the list of officeholders, be-
cause they are Worlds Fair Commissioners,
but he remarked that he was out of pocket
8, 500 annually. and anybody could have
his job that wanted 1t.

Bridget O'Brien was found dead in bed

vious night, were arrested, but subsequently
released.
Mrs. O'Brien has been making her home
with Evans since she left her husband a
year ago The house is a two-room affair,
squalid and filthy to an extreme. Evans,
Gallagher and the woman in the house had
been on a spree Tuesday night and a fight
took place during which it was supposed
Mrs. O'Brien had been killed. The Coroner

that death had resulted from valvular
disease of the heart and there were no marks
of violence whatever. Evans and Gallagher
were thereupon released

ROW AMONG NURSES.
Three Nal es and Females Suspended
at the West Penn Hospital.
MUCH OPPOSITION TO MRS. JILES.
She Plays Detective and Finds Couple in
Rocking Chair.
WAITING FOR sUPT. CONAN TO RETURN

A Kilkenny fight is in progress at the
West Penn Hospital among the nurses and
physicians. Superintendent Cowan is not
at home, but when he returns the trouble
will be settled.
Wednesday evening Assistant Superin-
tendent Woodward suspended three male
and three female nurses until Monday, when
they will be given hearing. The trouble
originated some months ago, when Mrs.
Davis, head nurse in the female department,
left, and Mrs. Jiles, an outsider, was ap-
pointed. A number of the old nurses were
provoked, and censured Superintendent
Cowan for his action, and openly showed
their hostility to the new head nurse. Sew
eral serious collisions occurred between the
nurses and the head nurse, and it is alleged
the latter made the remark that she would
have new set of nurses inside of a year.
A Fuss Adopt a Funeral.
A month ago Harry Jennings, a nurse at
the hospital, died. A subscription was
started among the employees to raise money
enough to pay his funeral expenses About
S106 was collected, Mrs Jiles contributing
81 90. When it came to making out list
of those who should attend the funeral, Mrs.
Jiles refused to allow any of her girls to go,
saying they did not know the deceased, and
were not acquainted with any of the male
nurses.
About a week afterward Mrs Jiles re-
ceived a note thanking her for the ''loan"
of the dollar, but they found they did not
need it and so would return it to her. The
dollar was inclosed, and no names were
signed to the letter. Mrs. Jiles took the
letter to Superintendent Cowan and a
thorough investigation failed to reveal tn
author or authors of the note.
Six Nurses Are Suspended.
In the past week or two she has heard
rumors about the night nurses in the female
wards, and the night nurses in the male
wards down stairs. Accordingly she ex-
ercised especial vigilance, and Wednesday
morning about 8 o'clock she found three
nurses from her ward together with three
male nurses from the wards down stairs,
on the south porch. One couple was at
one end of the porch, another couple
was at the other end, and the third couple
occupied rocking chair i'll the center of
the porch. She reported the matter to As
sistant Superintendent Woodward. who
called the culprits up and suspended them
until next Monday. The reason is that
Superintendent Cowan is away on his vaca-
tion, and although he left positive orders
that anybody behaving in refractory
manner should be discharged on the spot, it
was thought best to wait and let him settle
the matter.
The nurses under suspension have all
been at the hospital for a long time The
authorities positively refused to divulge
the names.

Next week 40 carloads of grain drills will
be shipped to Kansas City from Spring
field. The special train will be in charge
of W. M. Clark, the local commercial agent

yesterday there would be 1000 drills,
and if they were placed in row, one touch
ing the other, would extend five miles. The
weight will be more than 1,5O0,O 600 pounds

their crops, but they are not discouraged.
Most of these drills are sold already, and
will be used to plant the fall wheat.

why Some Women Grow Old.

A woman expends more vital energy in
baking one batch OF bread than she can re-
gain by careful nursing in four or five days.
In other words. every baking of bread short

Why should women be old and careworn
before middle life? Marvin's fine bread is
just as good and pure and sweet as the best

it saves ali the worry and bother and work
of baking. Why not use it?
