WHEN a woman says a man takes
his wife's death @hard," she means
that he groans, and means, and
screams, and tears his hair. If he
sits dumb under his affection, she
SAYS he is not affected very much, and
that he will be married again in a
few months. The emotional sort Of
grief appeals to the women so much
that if a man screams when his wife
Is buried, and. marries again the next
day, they say that his great sorrow
affected his mind, and that he is
irresponsible.

likened to the soldier IN the army, always
on duty, always in danger and always brave

THE CHIEF JUSTICE TALKS.

Melville W. Fuller Caustica,Iy Criticises the
Action of the Ex-Secretary of State-A
Complete Surprise to the Other Cabi-
net Officers.
Melville w. Fuller, Chief Justice of the
United States, passed through from WASH
told DISPATCH man that the action of
Secretary Blaine would prove complete
surprise to every member of the Presidents s
Cabinet.
The Chief Justice, whose close proximity
to the President is as well known as his
ability is undoubted, was at first exceed
ingly reticent in speaking of the Secretary's
resignation and said the action was such a
complete surprise to him that he had not
had sufficient time to think of the matter
enough to give his views to the public.
Under the stress of direct questioning,
however, the Chief Justice talked and his
words were directly to the point
Ever since Mr.. Blaine wrote the letter
in which he positively, as was supposed, de-
clareG he would not permit his name to be
used, "rsaid the Chief Justice, ''the Cabinet
members as well as every one else who are
near to the President felt that he meant
what he said, and would not permit his
name to be used; consequently the news of
the Secretary's resignation will be CON-
plete surprise to everyone
"Do you think the Secretary's resignation
means that he will allow his name to go
into the convention? asked THE DISPATCH
man.
Evidently, evidently" replied Justice
Fuller. "What else, indeed, may be con-
strued. His resignation shows without the
possibility of doubt that he will make an
effort for the nomination, and L think the
Secretary's name will be prominent in the
convention"
"Whom do you think will be the Re-
publican nominee?"
That question l must decline to answer.
You know l am not in politics, and any
such declaration would be inapropos as well
Us uncalled for"

A FAMILY QUARREL.

William Shannon and His Daughter Engage
In a Friendly Setto-Shs Exchange,
Bows With a Woman's Weapon, Hot
Water-No Serious Damage Done.
The people of the Southside in the neigh
borhood of Nineteenth street and Merri-
mans alley were thrown into fever heat
of excitement about o'clock last evening.
For short time visions OF murder and
other foul crimes were floating about. The
cause of it all was the cry of ''Help"
'Policep' and "Murder!" coming from the
residence OF William Shannon at Nineteenth
street and Merriman's alley.
The usual crowd quickly gathered, but
none had the courage to enter, as the pam
demonium reigning within made it seem as
though the entire interior was being de-
molished. Finally Officer Thomas j. Nor
ley, of Patrol station No. 1, and who resides
in the vicinity, was attracted to the scene.
He at once entered the house and pl aced
the occupants under arrest. When mat
ters had quieted down q little he found
that William Shannon and his daughter
Kate were the belligerents and thev were
removed to the Twenty-eighth ward sta
tion. Upon arrival there it was found that
Shannon was suffering severely from his
wounds and he was removed to the South
side Hospital.
Shannon said that he was puddler and
worked at Six-Mile Ferry and that his FAM
lily, consisting of his wife, son and daughter,
lived on Nineteenth street and would not
allow him to remain at home. He called
there last evening and was ordered to leave,
which he declined to do and the discussion
eventually ended in row. During the
melee Shannon was struck on the forehead
with tea-kettle in the hands of his
daughter and the scalding contents flew over
him, burning him severely. He was resting
quite easily at the hospital and will be

CAME TO The SURFACE.

Bodies Of the Drowned Rise From the
Bottom of tho Rivers After . Thunder =
storm-MichaeI Claucy's Disappearance
Explained at Last.
The thunderstorm of Thursday night
brought to the surface several more bodies
of persons who have been drowned within
the past two months, showing the peculiar
influence exerted by natures great electrical
forces.
On Friday evening as q towboat was puff
ing down the Ohio river, just above Dix
mont, the paddle wheel struck an object
which, on Investigation, proved to be a
human body. It was swelled up to fearful
proportions, and SO black that it was
thought to be that of colored man. The
crew put off in skif, and towed it to shore
at Dixmont, notified the authorities and
went on. The Coroner yesterday had
the body brought to the morgue,
where it was identified as Michael
Clancy, the city whartboat tender who dis
appeared last Saturday night. At first it
was believed that Clancy had been mur-
dercd and thrown into the river, but the
police Investigated the matter carefully and
decided that he had fallen into the river
and drowned. There were no marks on the
body to indicate that he had been abused
before falling into the water. Clancy was
81 years of age, and had been in the city's
employ for years. He was sober, indus
trious and leaves family.
Yesterday morning the little body of
John Devers, aged 6 years. was taken from
the Allegheny river at the foot of Tenth
street. The little fellow was drowned
April /. His parents lived on a ajo-boa. at
the foot of Eleventh street. On the moIn-
ing he fell into the river there was no one
on the boat but himself and his mother.
She was busy at work inside, and the
lad was playing outside. His noisy prattle
ceased, but the mother thought nothing of
it for nearly an hour When she went to
look for him he was gone, but
it was not until evening that the
truth forced itself upon her. The
boy had fallen overheard. He had foated
under raft within 100 yards of the boat
and from under the same raft he foated
yesterday. The body was identified at the
morgue by the mother by the clothing. I'm
mediate burial was necessary, owing to the
condition of the remains.
Another unknown body was found at the
foot of Tenth street on Friday evening. He
had been in the river long time and was
so disfgured by the water that identi fca- |
tion would be next to impossible. The |
body was b uried yesterday.

A NEW WAY OF GAMBLING.

h. O. Prico Opens Up a Big Business In the
Western Union Telegraph Ohce-He
and His Assistant Arrested-The Com
pany May BE Indicted Also.
II. o. Price, the well-known pool seller,
and c. L. Rooney, an assistant, were ar
rested yesterday afternoon on an informa-
tion made by Inspector McKelvey, charg-
ing them with gambling.
When the new city charter went into
effect Mr.. Price moved his pool room to
Cleveland, O., and has continued to do
business there, giving Pittsburg a wide
berth, except by an occasional visit to
friends About week ago Price arrived
in the city and started to selling pools in a
new manner He secured the main rooms
of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany. A. wire was run down from
upstairs and the services of an operator OBJ
tanned. He then got c. L. Rooney to do
the real work by selling pools. Mr. Rooney
would exhibit slip Of paper previous to
each race at Morris Park, N. Y. On the
slips were written the names of the entries,
with the odds against them. The purchaser
would select his horse and put up his
money. He would not be given ticket or
receipt, but his name was taken and the
money telegraphed on to the Turf E1-
change. The next day the winners would
receive their money. Mr.. Price did not
handle cent of the money.
The Western Union Company may be
indicted for keeping gambling house. If
the suit is brought a letter written to Price
by Manager J. d. FLYNN, of the company
will be used as testimony. 1t was takea
from Price last night and is as follows:
Referring to your application for permis-
sion to oDen a branch office in connection
with this company, will say that l do not
see any objection to the arrangements pro-
posed. We will furnish your office with the
necessary wires and other facilities and give
you 10 per cent of the net receipts. You to
furnish light. heat and pay for the services
of an operator. You are also authorized to
do a money transfer business by telegraph.
Price was taken out of Central station
last night on $1,000 bail. furnished by MIR.
Ray. Rooney did not get bail.
