ABSOLUTELY PURE
Kept Everybody at Bay.

New YORK, October 31-Frederick l..
Matthews OF 119 South Second street,
Brooklyn, clerk for George Edward
Harding & Gooch, architects of the new
building which the Postal Telegraph
Company Is erecting at Broadway and
Murray street, was shot in the abdomen
yesterday, but not fatally, by James
Bradley, an insane tramp. Bradley then
unknown, poorly clad and wasted in fig
ure, crept into the building yesterday
morning and concealed himself in the
small space between pile Of terra Gotta
piping and the North wall on the floor.
The mans face was emanciated and SAL
low, and his small expreSsionless eyes
were sunk far back in his head. He
weighed little more than 100 pounds,
and walked with feeble gait. But the
strength Of frenzy kept him master Of
the situation for almost a quarter of an
hour in the afternoon, when ], 800 peo-
pie watched the l. or more policemen
who were endeavOring To Gust him from
the building after he had shot Mathews
There was a bulldog revolver in the pock-
ct OF his ragged trousers, with enough
cartridges to keep its five barrels filled,
and he used it with desperation. The
police finally got the better of him and
he was locked up.

TIE GOsIinQ saws:

A very economical spell was taken
this year by Dillon and Kirby over the
publication of the sheriff proclamation,
which is necessary for the public to see
in order to vote intelligently. 1t is pub
lished in only two papers and the tax
paying voter not taking either of them
is left in darkness. This streak of
economy was practiced because the
sheriff being Republican, would have
inserted in at least four papers, the ma
jority of which may have been Republi-
can papers.
If the editor of the Costing knew
enough to look at the election laws and
had brains enough to understand what
he reads, he would know that Dillon
and Kirby have nothing to do with the
publication of the Sheriff's proclama-
ton whatever-it belongs to the duties
of the Sheriff's office. 1t is a little
rough on the profession to be required
to reply to such nonsense but there may
be some benighted readers of the Costing
who are as ignorant of the election laws
as the editor and for their benefit we
make the statement.

: Big CircuS steal.

BosToN, October 81. \ special from
Bridgeport, Conn, says: at Is a prac-
tical certainty that the Forepaugh show,
OF which James \. Bailey Is the owner,
viii not again 90 on the road, at least
under the proprietorship Of Mr.. Bailey.
Mr.. Bailey says that nearly 500, oGO
has been stolen from him in the Fore
paugh show, and that he has discovered
that there has been a conspiracy which
included employees Ia all departments
from the ticket wagon to door tenders
and ushors. Only through such a com
bination would it have been possible for
such wholesale thievery TO be committed.
1t Is said that Manager McCadden and
Secretary Evans are free from suspicion,
but a. the result of what Mr.. Bailey has
discovered number of arrests may be
made any day. Mr. Bailey has positive
ly declared his intention of not sending
the Forepaugh show out again.

CARTER II. HARRISON, mayor of Chi-
cago, was shot and killed in his home
in that city on Saturday evening about
O. clock, by Patrick Eugene Pendergast,
"A crank who imagined the mayor had
wronged him by not appointing him to
the office of corporation counsel. Pen
dergast called at the mayors residence
and met him in the hall and at once
pulled his revolver and began firing.
The first shot struck the mayor in the
right breast and would have been fatal
but the assassin continued his murder
Gus work and fired two more one pene-
trating the stomach and the other strik-
ing him on the left hand. Harrison
died in few minutes after the first shot
Pendergast made his escape from the
house but afterwards gave himself up to
the police and is locked up. In Chicago
there is "A universal feeling of sorrow and
horror and for a time public Indignation
threatened to vent itself in the lynching
of the assassin. The closing program
for the last days of the Worlds Fair was
changed and instead of the grand clos
ing scenes intended the city is in mourn
ing over the death of her chief magis-
trate.

AT the election next Tuesday, every
Democrat in Cambria county can vote
the straight ticket with the full satisfac-
ton of knowing that he is voting for
good, capable men, in every way quali>
fled for the Offices for which they are
candidates. Il is not ticket set up by
political bosses with the idea of keep
ing the offices in one family, but a
ticket in which every candidate has
been selected because he is the choice
of the party for that particular office
Voters of the Republican party, who
have grown tired of being dominated by
ring rule and of keeping one family con-
tinually at the public crib will find in
the Democratic candidates, men worthy
of their suffrages and by casting a vote
for them will assist in discriminating
their party from the grasp of men who
will never be satisfied as long as there is
an office that they cannot control and
enjoy themselves.

LIKE the sick sinner, the benefciaries
of the Mckinley tariff who have just
been pleading before the ways and means
committee are fertile in good promises
to the laboring man. eff you reduce
the tariff, they say, eve shall have TO
cut wages or shut up shop" But these
sanctimOnious friends of labor have
short memories. They obtained the
present rates of duty because, they said,
they wanted to pay better wages to their
workmen. american wages to Amer
can workmen" was the shibboleth of
the campaign. But they forgot their
promises when they got what they asked
for. They continued to hire their work
men for the lowest wages possible
They continued to import Bohemians
and Italians to put them in places of
the American wOrkmen, who they pre-
tended to love so well. They have not
raised wages, but have lowered them
They will do the same in the future
whenever possible, tariff or no tariff

HENRY CLEWs, the New York banker,
makes the following prediction: "The
great banks of Europe now hold $3.50
600, 900 in gold, and other banks $3.50
0O0, 900 more, making 81 ,O0O, 600, 600
Most of this belongs to depositors and is
now absolutely idle. When our money
is put into solid shape, as will be by the
repeal clause of the Sherman law, this
country will act as powerful magnet to
draw an important part of that hoard of
metal to this side, and this country is
really the only place that holds out
promise to make good and profitable in
vestments. The doors are closed against
Australia, India, South America, Rus
STA, Spain, Egypt and Turkey, and
France has at no time since the battle of
Waterloo wanted English investment
connection less than now, SO that Eng
lands great hoard of money can only be
proftably and safely invested in this
country. and, my word for it, il will
soon come in prodigions quantities"

tent of $25, coo or $50, 900. The flames
ragged stubbornly for over three hours be-
fore being subdued, and the great plant,

struction. The fire Will throw $50 men
out of employment, who have been con
stantly laid off since July as a result of
the hard times, the factory having Just
started up. The wood working depart
ment will be almost a total loss, as the
interior is badly burned and the valuable
machines drenched with water. The

As the election occurs only five days
hence, it is important that voters should
become acquainted with the changes
made IN the manner of voting.
The new ballot law of this common
wealth makes the act of voting simph
city itself for the voter, doing away with,
or throwing upon the election officers
many of the pulling details that have
made so much trouble under the system
of other states.
Under the new system all a voter who
wishes to vote a straight party ticket has
to dc is to walk into the booth ard pre-
pare his ballot by marking cross in the
circle at the head of the party ticket, then
refold the ballot Just as it was given
him and walk out and hand it to the
election officer appointed to receive 1t.
One little mark does the whole business.
erly before giving it to the voter, and
when it is returned to him numbers the
ballot in the corner and covers the num-
ber by passing down the corner, as pro-
vided by the law, before depositing it in
the box No one need worry himself a
bit as to his ability to mark a ballot cor
rectly at the next election, provided he
votes straight ticket, for all he needs
to notice which is his party ticket and
| put a cross in the circle at the top of
| the ticket
The voter who wishes to split his tick
| ct, or who wishes to vote for only pOr-
| ton of the officers to be elected, will
proceed in the same way he did last year
by marking a cross opposite the name OF
each candidate for whom he wishes to
vote, and not make any mark in the
circle at the top of the ticket.
In this county, of course every Demo,
crat will simply put an Y mark in the
circle at the top of his straight ticket
! Populists and anti-ring Republicans car
either vote the whole Democratic ticke
in the same way or put an y after names
of such candidates as they prefer.

THE editor of the Costing is again

peared suddenly and were superinduced
by the failure of the election proclama-
ton to appear In the Costing. Knowing
that the law prescribed the publication of
the proclamation by the sheriff in at
least one Republican and one Demo-
cratic paper, the editor of the Cos
ling made great preparations for spread
ing the proclamation before its readers
as the Republican organ. But as the
paper is only recognized by the Repub-
hcans as a costing, the preparations
came to naught and the editor of the

lT is amusing to read the Republican
papers, all charging the hard times on
the Democratic administration. 1t may
be that their Republican readers are too
stupid to know they are still living and
earning their bread under the operations
of the Mckinley tariff law, but we
imagine some of them have got their
eyes open by this time The first law
passed by Congress under Democratic
rule is the repeal of the Sherman law
which will be "A start for the better, the
revision of the Mckinley tariff will come
next and then if business does not
brighten up the Democracy may
feel that they are mistaken in their poll
icy.
