THE Democratic Congressional con-

Burke, who is, we believe, an alderman
in the aspiring city of Altoona.
Who ever heard of Burke before I?

of able and distinguished Democrats
to be found within the confines of this
Congressional district? Where are the
yoang Democratic bloods that erstwhile
aspired, if not to fortune, Yet to fame

aspirant. All dumb as an oyster. The
nomination absolutely went a begging
and in sheer despair was, with averted
ewes, cast into the lap of Thomas
Burke, of Altoona, a gentleman all un-
known to fortune and TO fame. ''What

The Democratic harmony platform
of the Philadelphia politicians has
busted and now instead of harmony
discord reigns in their camp. 1t was
arranged some time since that if Col.
Singerly would accept the nomination
for Governor that he was to receive the
united, solid vote of the party in the
State and in consideration thereof VIII
liam McAleer, the present and only
Democratic Congressman from that
city, was To be re-nominated. On
Thursday last the Congressional con-
vention met and, To the disnlay of his
friends and in the face of the harmony
pledge, McAleer was turned down. On
the announcement of this treachery
and bad faith, Mr.. Singerly at once
threw up the sponge and virtually
abandoned his contest for Governor.
The leaders in this bolt from their
pledges are now denoIneing McAleer,
whom they had promised to support,
"a peanut politician, - and the ward
leaders are all carrying knives in their
boots, preparatory 10 election. The
result of this quarrel will result in an
addition of many thousands to the ma
jority of Gen. Hastings and the cleo
ton of a Republican Congressman
from the Third district, so long conced-
ed to, and represented by a Democrat.

OBJECT TO The BIC MORTGAGE |
Application Made to Prevent the
Execution of 1t.
Lake Erie Railroad Affairs Aired In
Supreme Court.

Justice Ingraham, In Supreme Court
Chambers. to-day heard the argument
on the order to show cause why an in
junction should not be issued to enjoin
the proposed execution OF the $50 900 600
mortgage against the New York, Lake
Erie and Western Railroad.
The suit IL brought by John ]. Emery,
who is represented by James C.. Carr,
Charles C.. Beaman and Charles l.. At
terbury. He Is the owner Of $4,000 OF
second mortgage bonds. secured by the
consolidated mortgage made In 1878.
Herbert Turner represented the Farmers
Loan and Trust Company. which is trus-
tee OF the mortgage. and ex-Mnister
l.. j. Phelps and +. Il. Jennings ap-
peared for the Railroad Company.
Emery and other holders of these same
bonds charge that they are Illegal and
should be declared void They ask that
the road be restrained from recording
the. mortgage and from executing bonds
under It.
The bonds of which MIR. Emery is a
holder were issued In October. 1878. when
$50, OSI, Ioo was Issued including s., ,50o. 900
bonds. and second consolidated coupon
bonds at the same interest. There Ia

In March last there was pronosal to
ana scheme for reorganization was
put up. 1t was intended to transfer the
second class mortgages and also prop
erty pledged since making that mort
gage to the Farmers Loan and Trust
Company as trustee.
The Emery people hold that the rights
of the holders of bonds secured by mort
gage have been violated, and instead of
paying the interest on the bonds the
Company used the money to pay the
Indebtedness incurred before the mort
gage in question was made. The Com
pany, II IL claimed, has transferred and
pledged to various creditors property
M security for loans to the amount OF
slo,oO.0oo. Other property. including the
second MORTGAGE bonus, II Is alleged.
had also been pledged
The effect Of the general mortgage, II
is claimed, would have n tendency to
convert n large part OF the property
under the second mortgage to purposes
not agreed to in these mortgages. This
1t Is claimed. will impair the Emery
party.
Lawyer Atterbury took over an hour
for his opening argument.

Admirers of Bob Fitzsimmons are 40
delighted over the Choynski- Fitxsim-
mons fight at Boston last night as n

of this week. In fact. Arthur T. Lum-
porter this afternoon that Fitz was

Fltz may intend to do in the matter
of challenging Corbett, but I know that
he would be entirely willing to take
Jackson's place II Corbett insists upon
holding the contest at n place where
race prejudice will prevent Jackson
meeting him.
"Corbett fought twenty-seven rounds
with Choynski, while Fitz had him prac-
tically out In hve. OF course, II Is to be
granted that Corbett rs a better man
than he was then. but II must be con-
cedcd that Choynski Is also vastly im-

BETRAYAL BY A FALSE BOND.
schwab Held In $4,000 by Commis-
sioncr Shields.

Frederick Schwab. Of Ulster County,
N. Y. was arrested on complaint of
Orlando w. Reed, special examiner of
pensions, and held in 5000 bail by
United States Commissioner Shields
this afternoon.
schwab is charged with fraudulently
executing false bond as a committee
in charge OF Charles Gesngold. a lunatic,
and with seeking to use his position to
defraud the United States by drawing
back pay and pension claimed by him
for Gengold
on July p. 1892. and previous to offer
ing the false bond referred to. Schwab
had secured q pension and an allowance
of back pay for Gengold. amounting to
about 10000. The Government officials
now say that Gengold was not entitled
to a pension.
1t Is alleged that Schwab picked up
the insane man as convenient tool.
and by a series of false representations
deluded the Pension ONCE people up
to the point when the money was to be
actually drawn. Had he not made the
mistake by Offering as purious bond he
would probably have carried his scheme
to a successful issue.
