QUAYS REAL OBJECT
In His Recent Hot Fight for the Con-
troll in Pennsylvania,
Is Said 10 Be the Governorship-Hisv very
Significant Smile.

Philadelphia, Aug. 30-A snecial to
the Evening Telegraph from Ear .isburR,
says that it is stated there, on what is con-
sidered good authority, that Senator Quay
had more at stake in bis fight, this week.
than the state chairmanship the control
of the Pennsylvania delegation to the
next Republican national convention and
the national craftsmanship.
He has his eye, it is said, upon the
gubernatorial chair and will be a caud-
date for that place. His term of senator
will not expire until 1896, but he could
resign from the Senate couple of
months before his term expires and could,
as Governor, name his successor.
On Wednesday evening, after the con-
vention adjourned, "A close friend put the
question to Mr.. Quay thus:
does not this mean the Governorship
for you?'
The senator's only reply was a smile,
indicating that his friend had made a
good guess. A month ago, one Of Mr..
Quay's strongest friends said that if the
senator should win the state chairman
ship fight, 1t would mean that he would
be a candidate for Governor.

RkNSOM'S HARD LUCK.
More Trouble on Salary Of The New Minister
TO Mexico.

Washington, Aug. BOIL luck seems
to be the lot of United States Minister
Ransom. one trouble following close upon
the heels of another. Now Mr. Willis,
acting auditor of the treasury for the
state department, has decided that Mr.
Ransom's salary as minister to Mexico
cannot be paid until he is confirmed by
the Senate. He bases his decision upon
the law which reads mo money shall
be paid from the treasury as salary to
any person appointed during the recess of
the Senate to fill vacancy in any exist
ing office if the vacancy existed while
the Senate was in session and was by law
required to be filled by and with the ad-
vice and consent Of the Senate until such
appointee has been confirmed by the
Senate.
The question of allowing his expenses,
etc, has not yet been taken up 1t is
stated that Minister Ransom himself
raised this point, whether he could be
paid prior to confirmation, as he wanted
to know exactly where he stood before he
departed for Mexico, that he might make
the necessary financial arrangements for
bis maintenance
Congress will have to provide for his
salary between July and the date when
he may be confirmed.

A MYSTERY.
What Caused the Death of
Miss Filetta Mcdonald,
OF Boston, Who Died at Gardiner,
Thursday Afternoon2
An autopsy Indicates Criminal Operation -
The Coroner Will Investigate.

Gardiner, Aug. S0.-(SpeciaD. - Miss
t1letta A. Mcdonald of Boston, died at
tho Evans house in this city, Thursday
afternoon, aged a6 years. The cause OF
her death was peritonitis
This is particularly sad case. The
young lady was an entire stranger in our
city, arriving here on tie Boston boat,
FRIDAY, Aug 23. She was very sick while
aboard of the steamer, and upon her ar
rival here at once took room at the
Evans house, and DIR. b, NJ. Turner was
| Immediately summoned, who found her
temperature several degrees above the
| normal and at once pronounced her a
very sick woman.
She grew rapidly worse and DR.. Turner
| called Drs. Sawyer and Kimball In con-
sultatinn. Nothing could be done to re-
| lieve the sufferer. although every means
that money or medical skill could do were
employed, and the poor woman passed
away after five days of intense suffering
The circumstances surrounding the case
were of such nature that the authorities
| ordered an autopsy, which was conducted
by Drs. GiddiDgs, f. +. Strout, b. NJ
uTner, sawyer anu NIiuDill WHO U6-
cided that death was due to acute periton-
tits.
The case has been placed in the hands
of Sheriff Norton, who will make a
thorough investigation of the case.
Much interest in regard to the case is
| manifested by the people of our city and
| many rumors are afloat. This is partly
due, without doubt, to the very reticent
stand taken by the authorities in regard
| to the case.
1t is reported that evidence was found
of a criminal operation having been per-
formed.
Further developments will be awaited
with interest and will be made public AS
soon as an official Investigation can be
made.
1t was decided, tonight, to hold coro-
ner's inquest, Saturday morning, and a
full Investigation will be made as to the
cause of the woman's 5 death

To Farmer Friends.

Since We have large road districts and
work our roads chiefly with an eight
horse grader, that can only be success
fully worked when corn plowlng is at
it's best, the supervisor must get a
"hump on him" in order to work out all
the poll tax in due season. In order TO
help out the corn blowing and harvest
ing We have concluded to let the grader
stand idle for two weeks, and in the
meantime trust that the farmefs will
attend to moving weeds and cleaning
up the roadsides in general, SO that
when We commence again We can do
more and better work, making it much
easier on our teams and very much
more satisfactory to ourselves. Surely
We all see how our farms are being
befouled with noxlous weeds, chiefly
growing and left 10 run to seed on our
roadsldes. When it is too wet TO work
in the ground is good time to cut that
big hedge, that is making the road sui
try, narrow and wet, exhausting the
soil, unsightly to the eye when it might
be "a thing OF beauty" admired by all,
rs is our neighbours across the way.
Try little cleaning up and see how
quick your farm will go up five dollar'
per acre in your own estimatlo.I. Be-
sides your children will lock up and
smile, and your wife wild pat you on the
back and say, PA. is getting young
agaa!!n." Then thrill OF pride will
spring up in your heart that will re-
compense you for double the toll.

Level Headed.

The Republican clubs convention at
Cleveland last week in disposing OF the
question of whether they should adopt
any resolutions that might be regarded
in the nature Of platform, did exactly
what they were required to do under the
constitution of their organization. The
constitution Of the Republican league
OF tho United States prohibits 1t from
ondeavoring in any manner to influence
any Republican convention, either ma
tional, state or county, and prohibits it
from undertaking to dictate platform
or any part OF q platform to any party
ooovent.on, e. .uerwise. The only way
in that could have been done was
Is alter the constitution. That would
have been q dangerous experiment, and
could not have been done until the
question was first submitted to the re-
epectiye state leagues. The national
league acted wisely 10 not departing
from its usages, and 10 leaving all ques-
lions OF party principles where they be-
long IN the national convention OF the
party. It has flung no fire brand into
tho marty ranks. When the time comes
70 hold the national convention some OF
the questions that might have threaten
cd trouble 10 the league. will, perhaps,
have settled themselves in way salts
factory to the people and to the party az
q whole. It is enough, however, to say
that the league had no power to do any
thing more than 1t did, and that will re.
oeive the appreciation OF the entire party

Our Fruit Prospects.

l.. A. Goodman, OF Westport, the
secretary Of the Missouri Horticultural
society, has issued Q late report Of the
condition OF fruit in this state. He
states that, generally speaking, the fruit
crop will be . good one, and fair, il not
GOOD prices, will be realized. Taking up
the various fruits 10 detail he says that
the apple crop will be one OF the best
the state has ever produced. The south
part OF tho state will make wonderful
showing this year il nothing injurious
intsrvenes, and the success OF growers
will mean q great extension OF orchards.
Mr.. Goodman goes on to say that buy
ers are already seeking to locate the
biggest orchards, and are making bids
Tor them. The crop in the east part OF
the state vii! be light, and prices will
b but fair. The peach crop will be
quite Q general one, but, strange to say,
that along the line OF Neosho and
Carthage and in the neighborhood Of
Springfield will be very light. On the
other hand, as far north as st. Joseph it
will b Q failure. Beyond doubt, peaches
will b plentiful all oyer the state. The
pear crop will be the usual average one.
Tho Wild Goose varieties Of plums
promise Q good crop, but the European
varieties will make a poor showing.
Cherries will be fine crop, and grapes
an average ono. Blackberries will be a
good, but raspberries will be, but a
half CROP.
