HOMESTEAD, PA, November IA
Homestead is yet QuiverinR under the
influence Of yesterdays battle. The ex-
element was intense all day, but there
was no disorder, except in the evening,
when the cOlored men who did the
shooting were being taken from the
lookup to the train on the Pennsylvania
road. Then q large crowd assembled
and hOoted and jeered, so that the
deputies thought that an attack
would be made upon the prisoners, out
the latter were permitted 10 get on the
train without injury. In the early
morning Mike Sullivan, q striker, was
arrested for participation In the hght
Yesterday. When he was taken down

AN AWFUL EXPLOSION.
A Locomotive on the Reading Road Lets
Go, KIN ng Five Men.

PoTrsvILLE,. PA, November IA
most distressing accident occurred on
the Philadelphia and Reading railroad
at 2 o'clock this morning at Conners
Crossing, a short distance north OF
Schuylklll Haven, when the boiler OF
an engine exploded, killing five men
and probably fatally wounding another.
The killed are: Henry c. Allison, en-
gineer of 500, residing at Pslo Alto,
leaves a wife; VIM. Mackey, fireman
500, Port Carbon, wife and one child;
VIM. Cowhey, an engineer on his way
home to Mt. Carbon, leaves wife and
ten children; VIM. Kendrick, conductor
of Port Carbon, wife and four children;
VIM. Meyer. Cowboys fireman, Palo
Alto, single.
Beside the above, Michael Dobbins,
OF Mt Carbon, brakeman OF Engineer
Cowboys crew, was badly scalded and
will probably die.
Engine $50 was north-bound with
heavy train Of empty cars. After run
ming them into the Cresson yards, the
crew boarded engine sos at the mine
mill crossing with the intention OF
reaching their homes in that way and,
as is customary, took possession OF the
cab. Dobbins, who escaped instant
death was crowded out of the cab and
was sitting on the tender. The men
had barely been on the engine two
minutes. when nearing a wagon cross
Ing at Conner's, a hAlf-mile from Schuyl-
kill Haven, without any warning, the
terrible explosion occurred, throwing
the crews into the air in all directions
and TO eternity. The boiler and fire
box were blown clean off the trucks,
and the tracks were so badly damaged
that traffic was considerably delayed.
The north and south bound midnight
Buffalo trains were compelled TO run
via the Little Schuylkill branch from
TamaQua to Port Clinton.
1t is impossible to give the cause OF
the explosion. Michael Dobbin, the only
surviving witness, lies suffering and un-
conscious at his home. From persons
who were In close proximity, 1t is
learned that the train had come TO
standstill because of the lowness of
steam and the blower had been put on.
1t was during this process that the boil
er exploded. Dobbin, the injured man
had aighted prior thereto, and IL is ev-
identity due to this fact that he was not
killed outright.
The ill-fated engine was one Of the
81" class, and the impression here is
that the explosion occurred because en-
gineer Allison had allowed the water in
the boiler to run too low In his endeavor
to reach his terminal at Palo hi:o. The
unfortunate men were horribly mans ed
two OF them being blown to atoms. N
The engine had only left the shop two
weeks ago when slight repairs were
made.

a Hand in the Naturalization
Figures Received Thus Far-The
Iden- -Gaumer Case.
sSeeicI 7tI>oram to the Rs0istsr.

Co1ULBUs. O., November 14.-The
Republicans control the election ma
chinery Of this State, and from present
indications are going to use it to save
a few Offices from being swept away In
the Democratic flood.
The election officers In one OF the
rural precincts in Fayette county reius-
ed to count 1875 Democratic tick
cts becaused they contained the
name of Frank Chance, Populist
candidate for Circuit Judge, claiming
thew we're irregular. They returned
them uncounted to the County Board OF
Elections. That Board is composed OF
two Democrats and two Republicans.
No one claims now that these ballots
are illegal, but the Republicans set up
the old claim that "you can't go behind
the returns"
The Democratic members insist on
adding these legal but uncounted bal
lots to the vote for Chance, but the Re-
publicans object because that would
elect Chance. AS it now stands Shearer,
the Republican candidate, is elected.
Secretary of State Poorman, Repuo-
can, who is also State Supervisor OF
Elections, telegraphed this evening to
the Fayette county board ordering
them to certify the election result to
him at once as it is and instructing
them that they have no right to add
these Democratic ballots.
The case is sure to go to the Courts,
and may take with it the whole State
and electoral ticket, as the Democrats
are determined there shall be no return
Of the Fayette county vote at all, II they
are not permitted to make corrections
and return it as actually and legally
cast.
As the county has Republican plu-
rality of about 1000. This, in view OF
the close result, might change the
whole State election.
Abstracts from fifteen more counties
were received by the Secretary OF State
to-day. From the forty-six counties
now counted, about one-fourth OF the
entire vote, they give w. A. Taylor,
Democrat, +22,471 and S. M. Taylor,
Republican, 121, ,442. Danford, the head
of the Republican electoral ticket, has
122, 3S3, and the other Republican elect
ors 121, ,542. Seward, the head OF the
Democratic electoral ticket, has 1884,
24O, and the others 122, 4O1. S. M. Tay-
lor runs behind his electoral ticket 941
votes and w. A. Taylor behind his
electoral ticket 769.
In a case very similar to the Fayette
case, the Gaumer-Iden Senatorial con-
test, the Republicans have kept D. w.
Gaumer, of GAINESVILLE, out Of his seat
until more than half the time Of the ex-
istence OF the Legislature has passed,
and it is hung up now in the Supreme
Court, where it is not likely to be
reached before the Legislature expires,
though Gaumer's attorneys are pushing
eagerly for hearing.

WILL START IN EARLY
The House Committee on ApprOpria-
tiOnS to be Called to
MEET ON NOVEMBER % TO BEGIN
Work on the Appropriations OF
the Second Session ofthe Fifty
Second Congress-Some Alarm
ing Figures Presented to the
Committee.

WASHINGTON, d. c., November IA
A call will be issued for meeting OF
the House Committee on Appropriations
st noon on Monday, November 2s next.
This will give the committee about
weeks time In which to prepare some
of the regular annual appropriation
bills for action by Congress when 10
meets for the second session. IL Is the
purpose 10 push rapidly all OF these
measures for the maintenance Of the;
Government next year, and as the
Treasury Department has promised TO
submit the estimates for the District OF
Columbia, the pension and the fortitlca-
tlon appropriations bills by November
2s, there seems to be no good reason
why the House should not have at leest
one OF these appropriation bills ready
for its action as soon as II meets.
The exceedingly heavy payments
made by the treasury during the FIRST
quarter OF the present fiscal year have
caused some dismay among the mem
bers OF the Appropriation Committee.
For the first four months OF the year
these payments have exceeded by Sl6,-
000, 900 the expenditures over the cor
responding period In the preceding hs-
cal year, which means total increase
for the present year OF siS,000,000,
while the appropriations for the year
are only Sl2, 900, 600 greater than the ap-
preparations for the last year. In plain
English that means Qt the estimates
of the committee hold good) o.
deficiency on account OF PEN
sions Of $40, 100000 which will
have to be met by Congress AT the next
session, In addition TO an appropriation
for pensions for the next fiscal year or
certainly not less than $3.50, 100000. So
the total appropriation that Congress
must make for pensions next session
will aggregate not less than SlS6, ,000,-
600. With this enormous sum added 10
the other appropriations necessary TO
carry on the government and decreased
importations land consequently re-
tceipts), expected TO result from tho
agitation OF the tariff question, II will
be seen that the Appropriations Com
mittee has good reason TO feel dlsmayed
at the outlook end doubt their ahllitl

He Had Sixty-eight Fine G old watches on

New YORK, November 14.-Among
the passengers who landed last evening
from the steamer La Burgogne from
Havre, was well-built, broad-shoul-
dered man in fashionable attire,
whose particularly upright bear
ing attracted the attention Of
Special Custom Inspectors Brown and
Donovan. On examining him more
closely, Inspector Donovan noticed
something larger than button bulg-
ing out at the back Of his tightly-ftting
fall overcoat. He was taken into the
examination room and despite his in
dignant protests was obliged to remove
his clothing.
Then 1t was found that he wore about
his body something that was cross be-
tween a woman's corset and life pre-
server. In it were pockets containing
slxty-eight valuable gold watches. The
watches were siezed and the man was
locked up in Ludlow street jail. His
name is Louis Marbel, and he Is resi-
dent Of some town in Washington,
VIII ere it is believed he keeps a jewelry
store. The watches found on him are
valued at 3d. 600. The prisoner when
arraigned before United States Commis-
sioner Shields said that his name was
Louis Marbel, and that he was banker
and had lived for several years in Seat
tie. He went to Switzerland in July
last and bought the watches there, he
said, for $500. He was held for exam
ination In default of SO, 500 bail.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., November A.
Some mighty interesting gossip Is ahoat
here regarding the report that Sher-
man, of Ohio, was about TO resign his
seat in the Senate. II Is said that when
Sherman defeated Foraker he did 40
only by the help OF Secretary OF the
Treasury Foster, who had the whole
power and patronage OF the adminis-
tratlon behind him. Sherman got this
help, the story goes, as the result OF a
bargain, whose terms provided that,
having knocked out Foraker and Sc
cured his own reelection 10 the Senate,
he should soon resign and allow Foster
to be chosen his successor. But now lt tis
said Sherman refuses 70 do anything OF
the kind, and even declines TO discuss
the matter with Fosters friends. Of
course the latter are very angry with
Sherman and are talking about him In
a very uncomplimentary terms sher-
mans friends say that even II tho Sena-
tor should resign, IL would do Foster no
good as the legislature would DO sure to
elect Foraker TO the Senator. IL Is q
lovely fight and will split the Ohio ke-
publicans up worse than ever.
