MAKING UP A TICKET.
George Miller Selected as the Re.
publican Candidate for
CONTROLLER OF THE COUNTY.
Three Gentlemen Who Wish to Succeed
Sheriff hcCleary.
COLONEL STEWART AGAIN NOMINATED

Slate-making is an occupation at present
being followed assiduously by the Repub-
lican leaders of this county. The slate
which is engaging the most. attention is
that for county Offices. the official nomina-
tions for which will not be made until next
May while the elections will not take place
until the following November.
Yesterday the first conclusion was
reached. The name of George Miller was
placed at the head of the slate for County
Controller to succeed James Grier, the
present incumbent This announcement
caused some surprise when quietly passed
along the line last evening, but was ac-
eepted as good selection. There were
several candidates for the place. among
them E N. Randolph, who has for years
no other candidate stood much show against
Miller.
It has long been understood among local
political leaders that Miller's appointment
to the Revenue Collectorship during the
present term of President Harrison is out
of the question and his selection as q candi-
date for Controller takes him out of that
light entirely. No other person will be
pushed for the Collectorship now until after
the election.
The selection of Miller was made at q
meeting of politicians downtown yesterday
afternoon. there being present Senator
Finn, Chief Brown, County Commissioner
Weir, Register Conner. Magistrate Gripp
and several others. 1t was understood that
the selection would be acceptable to both
wings of the party.
The selection of candidate for Sheriff
was also considered, but no agreement was
reached, the matter being laid over until
next week. The candidates for place on,
this slate are John Doyle, James Richards
and Joseph Marshall, the latter a clerk and
the other two deputies in the Sheriff's Office.
Each had friends earnestly at work for him
in the meeting and it was impossible to Sc
cure an agreement on anyone. There is
tacit understanding among the three candi-
dates that they will submit to the decision
of the slste committee, although they have
each already set up delegates in nearly
every district in the county.

NET In A DEEP CUT.
Nine Persons Instantly Killed in q
Railroad Collision.
SOMEONE DIsOBEYED ORDERS.
Terrible Accident on the Cambria and
Clearfield Branch.
DIGGING FOR THE DEAD AND WOUNDED

EBENsBURG, PA, Sept. al Special. J.
A frightful wreck, in which pine people
met their death this evening, occurred on the
Cambria and Clearfeld Railroad at Ecken-
road Mills The Cambria and Clearfeld
Railroad is small branch road which
branches from the Pennsylvania Railroad
between Cresson and Ebensburg. It runs
MP through the country and connects again
with tho Pennsylvania Railroad at Bells
Mill.
About o'clock this evening a work
train with 100 men aboard was coming in
from point ON the road where some re-
pairs were being made. When 1t arrived
in deep cut near Eckenroad Mills an up
bound passenger came dashing along and
plunged into the work train.
The cut was filled with wreckage, and as
soon as possible the passengers and men
who were unhurt commenced a search for
the dead and wounded. Nine bodies were
removed from the wreckage, including
Engineer G. W. Ferry and Fireman L. Parish,
of the passenger train; Engineer Yoder
and man named Rowland, timekeeper of
the work train, and five foreign laborers
whose names could not be obtained. The
fireman of the work train jumped and es-
capped with slight injuries None of the
passengers were injured, but 1t is reported
that a great number of laborers received in
iuries of more or less serious nature
The engineer Of the work train is said to
have disobeyed orders to lay over at Pat
toms to let the passenger train pass.
Ferry, the engineer, is from Altoona, and
Parish comes from Gallitzin, Cambria
county.
On account of the remote point at which
the accident happened, it was difficult to
obtain particulars.
The Pennsylvania Railroad officials had
merely been informed of the fact that an
accident had taken place, and could, there
fore, throw no light upon the matter. The
Clearfeld and Cambria road has just been
opened by the Pennsylvania Com
pany,

ISAAC OMSLAR MISSING.
A Troy Hill Man Bitten by Dog Disap-

A Troy Hill Man Bitten by q Dog Disap-
p-arf-He was Afraid Of Hydrophobia
His Family Left In Greatly Reduced
Circumstances.
Isaac Omslar, an elderly Troy Hill citi-
zen, left his home, at the corner of Hamil-
ton and Gardner streets, Wednesday night,
telling his family goodby and saying that
he was going to drown himtelf He has
not since been heard from.
Wednesday night, as Omslar came homs
from work, large Newfoundland dog be-
longing to a family who have just moved
into part of the house occupied by bis
family jumped upon him and bit
him severely in the right arm. From
loss of blood Omslar fell exhausted
to the ground, and neighbors came
and drove away the dog, which they
say was mad. Omslar was afraid of hydro
phobia and said that rather than die Of 10
he would drown. It is the opinion
of the missing mans friends that he threw
himself into the water basin, which is near
by, and will to-day make an investigation.
Omslar had had much trouble and his
family is in reduced circumstances. He
has been q resident of the hill for 25 years,
and until six months ago was employed by
the Standard Foundry Compsny. At
that time he fell from the
cupola of the building where he was
working and injured his foot badly, having
it in plaster cast for nearly six months
He was able to go to work only few
days ago and was digging cellar for q
neighbor. Omslar has five children, none
over IL years of age, and the wife and chill
dren are almost without food and have no
money. The Department of Charities will
take action on the case to-day.

The building, as on the first night, was
dazzling in It's illuminations The vari-
colored lights threw rainbow flashes
through the place and the whole main
building looked q veritable fairy garden. The
great machinery hall has been completed
and every detail in the arrangements has
no means the least attractive part of the
show. Everybody seemed interested in
that particular department, and it was
fairly crowded all the night and during the
afternoon.
The music supplied during the evening
was most enjoyable, and not few of those
present devoted themselves to the comfort
