A WHITE PORPOIsE.
The Deep Sen story Two Citizens of Te-

The Deep Sen Story Two Citizens of Te-

Commodore Is. G.. Kcnway Of the yacht

porpoise Associated with him in the dis

Pacific Steamship company. The creature
Is now at large in the sound. 1t Is pure
white In color with "A glisteninR black fin
on its back. Whether or not it has pink
eyes the discoverers have not yet been able
To determine.
When Commodore Kenway reported tho
discovery, there were those who were dis
posed TO doubt the truth OF tho story, not
withstanding tho fact that the commodore
has heretofore borne an excellent rcputa-
ton for veracity They said that "A sum
mer spent In yachting had undermined his
principles. The testimony Of Mr. Stewart,
however, corroborates the story told by
Commodore Kenway In every particular

Inside Facts Concerning
Spain'S Change of Mind.
Amicable Pressure to Procure
a Stricter Neutrality.
Memorandum Was Not Presented
Because Taylor Stepped In.

London. Aug. 10. - The Madrid cor
respondent of The Standard says with
reference to the memorandum recently
prepared by Spain with the idea of pre-
senting II 20 the powers, on the condi-
tion of affairs i'm Cuba. and the rela tions
between Spain and the American re-
publics I'm connection with Cuba, sug-
gestng that the powers assist Spain in
bringing amicable pressure tc bear on
the United States TO procure q stricter
neutrality:
When, on the advice OF the ambas-
sadors OF the powers. the Duke of Te-
tuan, minister OF foreign affairs, on
Monday, consulted Mr.. Taylor. the
United States minister, the latter did
not hesitate to say that the dispatch Of
such a note directly after President
Cleveland's proclamation calling for an
observance of neutrality, and implying a
desire to induce collective interference
of the powers in new world diplomacy,
would be calculated seriously to affect
the relations between the United States
and Spain.
Mr.. Taylor was so resolute that the
Duke of Tetuan gave him an assurance
that the note would be withheld. and that
If the ide.. were again mooted, the Amer
tcan representative would not be kept in
the dark, as he had been in this case.
II is stated i'm official circles that the
Duke OF Tetuan also assured Mr. Taylor
that no offensc was intended against
President Cleveland or the government,
whose friendly dispositions have been
often publicly recognized by Spain, but
that Spain desired to sound the powers,
with a view To contingencies that might
arise out OF the presidential election.

CAYLOR'S BALL GOSSIP.
Pugnaclty Is a Feature OF This
Years Play.
Even the Umpirss Are Not Exempt
From Mistakes.

Pugnacity appears to be running wild
upon the baseball field. Never since the
game became professional has there been
10 much lighting on tho diamond as this
season. Ii Is not strange therefore, that
the magnates are already discussing means
to check this dangerous evil when they
meet In annual conference at Chicago next
December. The Tebeau case, which has
caused such widespread sensation, does
not properly come under the head Of a
baseball fight, for no blows were struck,
yet 1t is somehow regarded as the begin
ming of the outbreak Of "scrapping." 10
has even gone among the umpires. Lynch

An Incident Of Interest to Users of Tclc-

An Incident OF Interest to Users OF Tcic.
phones.
The Atlanta Constitution, in recent
number, contained an item of casual
interest to users of telephones. 1t said:
THE Alabama Telephone Construction
company, known as the Harrison Tele-
phone exchange of Selma, has col
lapsed. The exchange was built just
eighteen months ago to compete with
the Southern Bell Telephone exchange.
The poles and wires We're sold yester-
day at a nominal price, said to be
enough to cover the outstanding in
debtedness. The original investment
proved a total loss"
The Selma Journal adds these partic-
ulars: George A. Wilkins, secretary
of the Alabama Telephone and Con-
struction company, in conversation
with a reporter of the Journal this
morning, said in answer to a question
as to why the company abandoned the
telephone business in Selma: The SIM
pie reason was that the exchange was
not paying expenses and there was no
prospect of its doing so at the prices
charged. 1t appeared to be impossible
with the instruments used, principally
the Harrison. to give satisfactory SER
vice. or Il service that would bear COM
parison with the Bell. This was a con-
stant source of complaint and annoy
ance.
ut Is all well enough to talk about
home institutions and local influence,
but the investors want and expect to
receive some returns on their invest
ment, and the people, the patrons of the
telephone exchange, want, demand and
must have good service. The prices
charged and the instruments used by
our company would bring neither. and
this is the reason why we abandoned

ARE. FOR HARRIIY NOW
LackaWanna Delegation Will Not 10
to the Convention to nick.
THE REASON OF THE CHANGE
Harrity VIII Control Aiieatown Gather
ing and the only Way the Men from
This County Can Secure Reco:.
milton is BY Getting In Line.

The result of the recent meeting OF the
Democratic state committee at HARRIS
burg, which accepted William r. Har-
rity's orders without question, mas
caused q great change Of sentiment, IL
is said. on the part of the delegates
elected by the Democratic county COM
mittee to represent this county.
The names of the delegates chosen
by this body are. First legislative
district, James Flynn. Providence; John
Gaffney, West Side; Second district,
John j. O'Boyle, Charles Schadt, John
]. Shea: Third district, w. w. Baylor;
Fourth district, James ]. O'Neill. Car
bondale; Miles ]. McAndrew, Arcbbald; I;
James j. Lynch, Olyphant.
1t was understood at the time these
gentlemen were named that they would
go to the state convention to oppose
Harrity and the unit rule. This was
understood by Harrity's friends, who
Immediately began preparations to
send delegates down from each legisla-
tive district to contest the rights of
the men elected by the county COM
mittee to hold seats in the convention.
In the fall Of 1894 the Democrats of
the First district elected Postmaster F..
NJ. Vandling and p. F. McCann to rep
resent them at the coming convention.
Mr.. Vandling is Harr.ty admirer so
no effort was made to secure another
delegation from the First. In the Sec
Ond district T.. G. Newcomb. $. $.
Spruks and NJ. +. Mcdonald We're Sc
lected as the rival delegates, but in
the Third district w. W. Baylor. the
county committee delegate, was infiu-
entail enough to secure the endorse
ment of the district committee.
! The Fourth district also elected dele
| gates to contest the seats of the men
! selected by the county committee and
| the probabilities are that all of these
delegates will go to Harrisburg.
"The delegates elected by the county
committee have ceased to talk against
Harrity." said well-known Democrat
last night. "They are anxious to get in
out of the wet. 1t Is as, plain as the
writing on the wall that Harrity will
have the Allentown convention in the
hollow of his hand and the man who
expects to be In the swim must be with
him all through the race. The county
committee delegates realize that their
credentials are faulty enough to give
a committee on contested seats an ex-
cuse for ignoring their claims. and since
they can hardly expect favors at the
hands of Harrity if they show a dispo.
sition to unhorse him. the reason OF
their flop Is evident. They want seats
in the convention and are not going tC
destroy their chances by foolhardiness
That's the reason of their change OF
front. If seated they will do Harrity's
bidding"
The convention will be called to order
at Allentown Wednesday. and the
Lackawanna delegation will leave fol
that place tomorrow.

CARRIAGE OVERTURNED.
Two Ladies and Three Children Injured
by an Upset at Providence Corners.

While driving to their home on the
West Side from visit in Providence
last night about o'clock Mrs. Hammell
and Mrs King, with three small chill
dren, who accompanied them, were
thrown out and more or less injured
by the overturning of their carriage at
the intersection Of Main avenue and
Market street.
The upset was caused by the carriage
wheels being caught in the street car
tracks in making short turn as they
drove down the West Market street
hill on to Main avenue.
Mrs. Hammell, who was driving, was
the most seriously injured. She was
carried unconscious into the Lewis drug
store and DIR. Dome summoned. At
ter time she recovered consciousness,
but her condition was such that 1t was
not deemed advisable to take her to
her home and so she was conveyed
to the residence of A. p. ODonnell,
where she was cared for. Owing to
Mrs. Hanmell's previous condition
fears of serious consequences are held.
Mrs. King and the children were
painfully bruised but all escaped with
out any serious injury,

Another attempt was made by Arthur
rockingham to complete the portico
in front of the theater entrance on wy
oming avenue Saturday morning. but
Street Commissioner kinsley frustrat-
ed the plan and placed Mr.. Frothing-
ham under arrest.
The affair was the cause of no little
excitement. Select Councilman Adam
Schroeder was abroad early in the
morning, and CHANGING down Wyoming
avenue, discovered Mr.. rockingham,
with force of five carpenters, working
with all eXpediency at the unfinished
portion Of the portico. Foreman Geo.
PeriSo of the street commissioners de-
partment, was summoned and demand
&c of Mr.. rockingham to produce his
authority for proceeding with the work
1t was not forthcoming. so Mr.. Perigo
fastened to his chief. Mr.. Kinsley, and
appraised him of Mr.. FrothinEham's s
early morning move.
The street commissioner came down
town Immediately, calling in at the
station house for a squad of police.
Arriving at the pOrticO he ordered the
work to cease, threatening to arrest
every one concerned IL another nail
| was driven. Just at this juncture the
patrol wagon turned the corner Of Lin
den street. The work stopped but the
| workmen did not. Judging from the
manner of their start, 1t Is a question
| if some of them have stopped yet. Mr..
rockingham did not share in the
fight, but stood and protested against
the interruption. Mr.. Klnsley informed
him that he was under arrest and di-
rected him to appear before Alderman
Millar Monday morning. Then the

men tear down the scaffolding which
had been erected, and the excitement
