"What will the Democrats in the

that had been asked him. Why,
they Will do just what is right ;
that's what they were elected for.
The Democratic party more nearly
represents the whole people than
any other party, and for that reason
it is better qualified to TcgisInte for
the whole people than is any other
party. And in the next Congress
it is sp,ng to be prepared for the
FIRST time in many years to lcgislatc;
for. notwithstanding the present
apparent doubt us to the Senate Of
the Fifty first Congress. | have the
best OF reasons for positively stating
that the senate after the 4th Of
next March Will he controlled by
the Democratic party" While in
Washington Mr. Dickinson stated
that he had no idcn of again going
into the cabinet, and expressed the
opinion that 10 member of Mr..

TRENTON, N. j., April 2S.-The Re

FATAL EXPLOSION.
Two Men Blown Up by Nitro. Giycerins at
Freetown, Mass.

Two Men Blown Up by Nitro. Giycerins at
FreetOwn. Mass.
FALL RIVER, Mass, April 2S.-A ter
rife and fatal explosion of nitro-glycer-
inc occurred yesterday at the Fall River
Granite Company's lodge in Freetown,
about six miles from this city. Frank
Cain and Joseph MoNelly were at work
in the blacksmith shop softening the
nitro-glycerine cartridges used in blast
ing when in some unaccountable manner
tbs cartridges exploded with thunder
ing report.
The frame building in which the men
were employed was completely shattered,
pieces being thrown in all directions.
The quarrymen at work in other parts
Of the lodge were stunned by the shock,
When they recovered they began a hunt
for Cain and McNelly, whose dead bo d.
les were found underneath the debris.
The bodies were frightfully mutilated.
Cain was 81 years of age, and leaves a
widow and one child residing in Asso-
net. McNelly was 30 years of age and
unmarried. Both men were tool snarp-
eners. The officials at the quarry think
the men were dipping the cartridges in
warm water, preparatory to making
them ready for use in drilling holes.

ALBANY, N. Y, April s.-When w. A.
Sutherland, temporary chairman, called
the Republican State Convention to or
der, shortly after noon to-day, Har-
manus Bleecker Hall was filed TO over
flowing. There were III delegates pres
ent. Mr.. Sutherland made an address,
after which he announced the commit
tees, and the convention took recess
pending the action of the committees.
Hon. Whitelaw Reid will be perma-
nent chairman. 1t is believed that the
convention will get through in one ses-
sion and that all will be over by 5 p. m.
Indications are that while endorsement
of the national administration will be
made, that no resolutions will be
adopted favoring any one particular
candidate, or in any way tending to in
struot the delegates to the National
Convention.
The actual work of the convention will
be the election of four delegates-at-large
| to the Minneapolis Convention, the
adoption of platform and the election
of new State Committee. The dele
gates -at-large will be Thomas G. Platt
Senator Hiscock, Warner Miller and
Chapncey NJ. Depew.
The alternates have not been agreed
upon, but one of them will probably b.
a Kings County man and the others viii
be taken from up the State.
Chairman Brookheld said this morn
ing that the delegation to Minnespoli
would support Harrison, and that th
president would be renominated without
| serious opposition.

BUFFALO, N. Y, April est is un-
derstood that the Lehigh Valleys new
line into Buffalo will not be opened for
traffic for at least two months TO come,
and in the meantime the company will
continue to use the Erie tracks as they
have been doing for several years Be
fore the road passed into the control of
the Reading the intention was to have
the formal opening some time next
month. This is now deemed impolitic
and unwise, as the management is con-
WINGED that the rush of traffic will be 50
great that the line cannot be satisfactor-
lily operated.

war on rickst scalper,.

CHICAGO, April 2S.--War has been
declared on the Chicago Railroad scalp
ers, and another effort is now being
made to drive them out of the business
representatives of nearly all the leading
roads coming into Chicago are before
the grand jury to testify against the
scalpers. 1t is said the Worlds Fair
directors are behind the crusade. They
meet with little success thus far in
securing cheap rates to the Fair, the
railroads asserting that If cheap round
trip excursion tickets were sold the bene-
fit would accrue TO the scalpsr, to whom
the return tickets would be sold.

for not wishing to fight at that time ap-

A Wheeling Man smitten With an
Actress, Tries to Kill Himseif
Aspecial telegram from Franklin, Pa,
TO the Pittsburg Times says:
The Conried Opera Company produced
"PoOr Jonathan" at the Opera House
here on Saturday evening, and during
the stay of the company here over Sun
day was enacted comedy that cast the
comic opera away in the shade. The
company appeared in Wheeling on New
Years night. Among the ladies in the
caste is Miss Rita Selby, dashing bru-
nette, sweet singer and very pretty
young woman, who MARBLES with a de-
cided accent. While at Wheeling a
young man, who registered at the
hotel here as Joseph Downs, fell
in love with the fair Rita, and followed
her to this city. His love was not recip-
rotated. and all his endeavors to obtain
an interview with the lady were fat
failures. Then he filed up with bad
liquor, and while in decidedly uneven
condition concluded that life was not
worth the living. He went to drug
store, asked for four ounces Of chloral,
pIOCccucu W IOOul az buO hObCiJ ohu
after writing out directions as to the
disposal of his remains drank the con-
tents of the vial. Then he waited for
death, which came not. Early Sun
day morning friend entered the room
and finding Downs sleeping heavily,
and the half empty bottle labeled
"chloral-poison," rushed out for a
nhvsIcian. who nronounced the contents
of the bottle water, decision which
the druggist confirmed.
When Downs awoke from his drunken
slumberS and the ridiculous position In
which he had placed himself was fully
explained, he decided that he was not
as much in love as he thought he was,
and concluded TO return home and COM
nit suicide slowly by smoking Wheeling
stogies. and the afternoon train carried
him out of the city.
Inquiry about the city yesterday
failed to reveal the identity Of Downs.

WILL PROBABLY ORGANIZE.
Rumored Formation of A. a. of L. q 5. W.
Lodges in Benwood.

For several days past a rumor mas
been in circulation that an effort Will De
made to organize the employees OF the
Wheeling steel plant, in Benwood, into
the Amalgamatlon.
Nome OF the employees Of the mills in
Benwood have belonged to the Amalga-
nation since the fight of several years
ago. The employees Of the Riverside
plant belong to the knights of Labor
but there are also number OF strong
Amalgamated men among them. The
workmen at the Wheeling plant do
not belong to any organization.
The scale for the ensuing
year at this plant has not been signed
owing to very material difference In
wages between the propositions OF the
officials and employees. President
Weihe, OF the Amalgamation, has been
down from Pittsburg several times re-
Gently, and on Monday was in Benwood
in conference with several prominent
Amalgamation men. 1t is quite prob
able that an effort will be made in few
days to organize the employees OF the
Wheeling plant.

GALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
BY the Ladies Hospital Association

BY the Ladies Hospital Association
'sHe gives twice, who gives quickly.
The pleasurable sensation OF double
contribution is not limited to the one
sex. "Men, women and preachers"
wide Sidney Smith, may all enjoy 1t.
And an opportunity to test its truth, by
those unfortunately ignorant OF it, will
be given to the ladies OF the Hospital
Association in the very near future.
The lady collectors appointed by the
Association will be at your doors in
few days to receive the membership
fees for the coming -, and in some
cases, for the past year, as well. This
work is undertaken cheerfully, but any
one familiar with similar attempts can
appreciate the labor connected with 1t.
Would it be asking too much OF the
ladies to have them decide the question
of to give or not 10 give,-(and the In
SEPARATION of the present season will GER
tainly ensure an answer in the affirma-
tive)-and be prepared when called on.
The blessedness of the gift will be to
her who gives, and more perhaps to her
who takes, ia the saving OF time,
strength, and patience.
A word to the considerate is more
than sufficient.
