SOME DEMOCRATS VOTED

According to Witnesses Who Testified AZ
the Oliver-Routh Hearing-Mr. Patter-
son Demanded Non-Suit, but Was Re-
fused.
M. w. Oliver and James Routh had q
hearing before Alderman McMasters yes
terday on charge of misdemeanor pre-
TERED by ex-senator James s. Rutan. 1t
was alleged that at the Allegheny election
on March that Oliver, who was Judge Of
Election in the Fifth ward (third pre-
cinct), refused to allow G. w. Cramer, who
had been nominated at the suggestion meet
ing as inspector, to act as inspector, and
placed James Routh in the position. D. F.
Patterson was retained by the defendants
and W. B. Rodgers was attorney for the
prosecution.
G. w. Cramer was the first witness called.
He said he had been named at the sugges-
tion meeting as inspector. He did not
serve because Mr.. Oliver refused to let him.
Nh. Oliver said that being judge of election
he had right to name the inspectors, and
had appointed Mr.. Routh. 'Oliver was a
friend of mine," said Mr. Cramer, "and an
old-timer at the business. I thought he
ought to know, so went away" Mr.. Pat
terson cross-examined the witness, aud
asked him if he was not the minority in
spector, and he replied tha..he was. 'Are
you Republican," ''Yes, SIR 'Then
did not Mr.. Oliver have right to select a
man to serve who was a Republi-
can, as the regular minority in
spector is supposed to be Democrat"
The witness replied that he did not know.
Mr.. Rodgers here entered an objection
against such questions Mr. Patterson
asked for non-suit as there was not evil
dence enough adduced to make a case
against the defendant, and that the case had
been discharged before in another Alder
mans Office Mr.. Rodgers objected, and
asked that all witnesses be heard. The OBJ
lection was sustained Mr.. Patterson then
asked the witness if Mr.. Routh was present
on the day of the election. He replied that
he was.
Mr.. John West was called He stated
that he was present at the election and
took the names of the voters. He said he
knew Democrats that voted. Mr. Patter-
son cross-examined the witness and asked
him if Oliver challenged any votes.
Mr. Rodgers objected. Mr.. Patterson
changed his question to "Did anybody
challenge any of the votes?" Mr.. Rodgers
objected, but the objection was not sus-
tained, and the witness replied that not
vote was challenged all day and no attempt
was made to call the attention of the board
to the fact that Democrats were voting.
Mr.. Rodgers went over a list of voters
Mr. West said some of them were known as
Democrats. On account of the absence of
Harvey Henderson and Ed Carpenter, the
hearing was postponed until Friday.

A Texas Steer will be turned loose on the
stage at the Duquesne Theater Monday
night. and while there will probably be no
body hurt. doubtless many will leave with
pain in their sides.
Briefly outlined. A Texas Steer is the story
of plain, blunt Texan, Il cattle king, who is
elected to Congress against his will, his cam
paign being engineered by his ambitious
wife and his pretty daughter. Swindled
right and left from the moment of his first
appearance in the capital, be gradually
comes to adopt upon a large scale, in his ca
pacity as Congressman. the methods by
which he was made to suffer during his no.
vitiate.
A satire on Washington life, of course the
seems to have selected as his model for this
character a gentleman net wholly unknown
about New York cafes. A pretty love story
threads throughout and it is in his uncon-
ventional treatment of this that MI. Hoyt
has done some of his most effective work.
The sale Of seats commences tomorrow.

Colonel Con:er Says the Ohio Delegation
Will Probably Vote for the President.
Colonel A. L. Conger, of Akron, the
Ohio representative on the Republican
National Committee. registered at the
Anderson last evening. The Colonel was
one of the original Blaine boomers, and he
was much disappointed when the man from
Maine declined to run. He is close to the
Secretary of State, and says Blaine's de-
cision not to be candidate is irrevocable.
In Ohio since Mckinley refused to allow
his name to be used, the Colonel thinks the
Republicans are drifting toward Harrison.
Mr. Conger is a candidate for delegate at
large Mckinley and Foraker will certain
ly be two of them, and the chances are
Colonel Conger will be one OF the other two
to elect.
He denied that the Foraker wing of the
party was booming Mckinley for the pur-
pose of knitting him. He said they are the
young hustlers, and as rule the boys are
impulsive and honest. He adds that the
Ohio delegation would be unanimous for
Mckinley if he would consent to run.

CRAZED BY CHILDREN.
Little Cora Vunora, Of Allegheny,
Hovers on the Graves Brink,
IN THE SHADOW OF THE GALLOWS.
Driven Nearly Insane by the Taunts Of Her
Playmates, Who
BLAMED HER FOR HER SISTERS DEATH

Little Cora Vunora, of Graham alley,
Allegheny, is lying at the point Of death
as result of fright given her by some
companions. The story as told is a very
sad one. Cora is between IL and ID years
old and on last Friday was taking care of
the baby, aged months. In descending
the stairs she stepped on her shawl and
tripped, falling downstairs. The baby 5
skull was fractured, and it died shortly
after. Little Cora naturally felt very bad,
and worried so much that she became sick.
The funeral of the little one took place
on Sunday. Cora was too i'll to accompany
the cortege to the cemetery, and remained
at home. Several of her companions were
with her and were talking of the affair.
Pointed Her to the Gallows.
They vouchsafed the information that
Cora would be hanged for killing her little
sister. This had deplorable effect on
the already overweight brain of the
poor child The thought of having caus-
ed the death of dear little sister was al
most more than she could bear, but the idea of
being hanged as pictured to her by her COM
panions was too much. When the family
returned they found the child in raging
fever and completely out of her mind. She
kept continually calling on them not to
hang her, that she was not to blame, and
making the most piteous appeals to her
parents to save her. The result was vio-
lent attack of brain fever, and the child is
so low that her recovery is doubtful
Hanging on the Edge Of the Grave.
Mr. Vunora was seen at his residence
yesterday by DISPATCH reporter. He
said that his daughter had very few lucid
moments and that she was very low, but
they hoped that she would be able
to pull through all right. In re-
sponse to questions, Mr.. Vunora said
that he did not blame the children
any, as it was only natural for them to talk
so. 1t might have been averted, however,
if an older person had been present to keep
the children from worrying her.
Mr.. Vunora has been unable to work
owing to the seriousness of the case. He
has spent his entire time at her bedside
endeavoring to soothe her and assure her
that he will protect her.

WON'T SELL THE MATERIAL
Messrs. Solomon and Ruben Insist on Hir
ing Union Labor.

Messrs Solomon and Ruben Insist on Hir-
ing Union Labor.
Workmen have begun to raze the old
buildings at Nos. 415 to 425 Smithfeld
street, and thereby hangs tale. The
Builders Exchange refuses to sell material
to any contractor who hires striking brick
makers. Messrs. Solomon & Ruben ac-
cepted the plans of a member of the ex-
change for the erection of their splendid
new building, but they wanted it speci-
fed in the contract that union labor
should have the preference. The con-
tractor refused this. Consequently
the work has been let to G. P. Kretz, who
declares that he will employ union men and
that the building will be completed Sep
tember /.
Mr.. Ruben was seen last night and said:
'This is a fight between capital and labor.
Our building will be finished by September
1. We want every dollar paid out for our
new building to remain in Pittsburg. How
ever, if we can't get the material here, we
will be compelled to get it elsewhere. You
can say that there will be no trouble to get
the material, and that the building will be
completed at the specified date"

DECIDED NOT GUILTY.

Tho Tarentum NJ. E. Church Congregation
Reversed-william Glove and Mrs.
Singer rReinstated-They Were Expelled
for Alleged Improprieties.
The quarterly conference of the Union
NJ. E Church, of Allegheny, yesterday re-
viewed the testimony taken in the trial of
William Glove and Mrs. E. Singer before
their church at Tarentum, and on which
they were expelled, and reversed the de-
stating the defendants into full membership
in their congregation.
Mr.. Glove and Mrs. Singer were charged
with improper conduct. Mr.. Glove has been
for many years a prominent figure in the
Tarentum NJ. E Church, his stand in every
question before the body being so pro-
nounced that opposition developed, and
there has for long time been two factions
in the church, known as the Glove and the
anti-Clowe. Accordingly when the charge
against him was tried there was plenty of
circumstantial evidence, and in way that
he claimed illegal he was found guilty, with
Mrs. Singer, and both were expelled. Both
the defendants are married, have grown
children and legions of friends. They
claimed unfair treatment under the evil
ing Elder
A. L. Petty, D. D., of Beaver, Presiding
Elder of the district, granted them change
OF venue, and the case was argued before
the quarterly conference of the Union
Church of Allegheny, composed of the Off
cial members. Attorney w. M. Price, of
this city, represented the prosecution, and
Andrew G. Williams, Butler attorney, ap-
peared for the defense. No witnesses
were examined, the only matter considered
being the evidence taken at the trial in
Tarentum. Three hours were required to
read it, and half hour was given up to ar
guments, after which vote was taken.
There was but one dissenting vote on the
question to reinstate Mr.. Glove and Mrs.
Singer, and the conference adjourned.
DR.. Petty was pleased at the verdict.
Though sitting in judgment in the case, his
sympathies were with the defendants.
There was only one question raised during
the meeting, however, and as that was de-
cided in favor of the prosecution they can
take no exceptions to his ruling. This,
then, settles the case definitely as the dis
cipline of the church allows no further
prosecution.

EXPECTS A COMPROMISE.
A Worlds Fair Commissioner Willing {,

A Worlds Fair Commissioner Willing to
Settle for $4,000, 900.
Jerald B. Massey, the Worlds Fair Com.
missioner from Delaware, was on the
limited last evening going to Chicago to at
tend meeting of the commission to-day.
He doesn't think the appropriation of S.
100000 will be granted by Congress,
but they will compromise on S2,-
100000 or $S,000,000 MI. Massey
has figured out that the cost
of the Fair will not be more than SIS, S,000.-
600. This sum. he says, will never be real
lied from the receipts, but the success of
the Exposition can't be gauged in dollars and
cents The educational features are inesti-
mable. People from different sections
will learn from each other by contrasting
their methods, habits and products. 1t is
not financial benefit that the managers
expect to reap.
Mr. Massey says the Japanese exhibit
will be wonderful. The natives are very
ingenious, and they will spend large sum
of money to make good showing.

Give Me an Old House Where I Can Feel

Purchasers put more faith in the honesty
and Judgment of that old and trusted music
house of II. Kleber & Bro. than in anyone
else An instrument coming from Klebers'
store, be it Steinway, Conover or an opera
piano, with their delicious 9olian echo
pedal, or a charming seven-octave piano
organ, or one of those grand Vocation
church organs-must necessarily be perfect,
for the opinion of Mr.. Kleber is looked upon
as final and conclusive. Hundreds OF people
have made the remark: "Oh, I wish had
called on you first and bought an instru-
ment of you;' and then they beg the Klebers
to take the piano or organ which they bought
elsewhere Off their hands and exchange for
the superior ones at the latter place. Kle-
bers' prices are $25 to $50 lower than those
of other dealers, and their terms Of payment
are easier.
While other dealers sit around complain
ing of the hard times the Klebers are kept
as busy as bees. Don't fail to call at Kle-

THE BUTLER
ROLLER MILLS
Hereafter will be doing business un-
der the name Of
Geo. w alter IL Sons.

We can say to our patrons that the
grinding done by US will be in the
best manner that good machinery
and practical milling can do it. "a we
have in our employ one of the best
practical millers in the State OF Penn
sylvania. We can say without
fear of contradiction that we are
turning out the best straight grade of
wheat -four in the county. We
think it an advantage to the farmer
to get his grinding done at our mill
for these reasons:
FIRST-We make as good wheat
-four AS can be manufactured and
the farmers get the same -four in
exchange as the millionaire
would. were we blessed with
them in this neighborbood.
SECOND-We can do your chop
ping for you. go that you are not
compelled 10 sell your grain at
low prices and buy your chop.
THIRD-We can make the best
buckwheat -four ever manufac-
tured in the county, as we have
Just completed arranging the
new machinery for same, and 1t
works like a charm.
FOURTH-We can make you rye
flour if you desire it. Our rye
flour always brings the highest
price in PiItsburg, &c.
FIFTH-We make as good a corn
meal as there is in the market.
SIXTH-Our Graham -four cannot
be excelled. We manufacture
every article that is in our line
of business, and with the latest
improved machinery, and best
practical skill.
The farmer will readily see that il
is more profitable to him to patronize
a mill where he can get all his differ
ent kinds of grain ground than TO sell
his grain aud buy his -four and feed.
We don't believe in misrepresenting
goods to the public. therefore do not
put the same kind of -four in four or
five different brands of sacks. We
make a straight grade of flour. The
brand is WHITE ROSE, the same
as given TO the farmer in exchange.
We also make the IONA PATENT,
which is high grade OF -four and
stands with the best patents in the
market. 1t is manufactured out OF
red winter wheat, blended with the
best brand of Minnesota patent which
gives it superior quality. These
brands of -four and all kinds OF mill
feed sold by US at the lowest prices.
We are also in the market for wheat,
rye and buckwheat and will pay the
highest prices for the same.
