COMPRESSED AIR IN CHICAGO.
A Test of the New Motor Will Be In-
 stituted Next Week.

CHICAGO, June Compressed air motors will be tested on street cars in Chicago for the first time on July 1.

 The test is to be made over the tracks of the General Railway company and will continue for three months. AL ready workmen are busily engaged in completing the first compressor plant to be erected in the west
 It is expected many prominent street car officials from the west and north west will be present at the trials, as they are desirous to learn if the motor is practicable.
 The cost of the new motive power, it is claimed, will be less than one-half that of electricity.

IT IS NOT ALL HARMONY There Is Trouble in the
 Silver Camp. May Not Be Able to Agree at Chicago.
Some Are Opposed to Teller and Stil Others Object to Boies
 for President.

WASHINGTON. June 47-There is trouble in the silver camp. The vari- ous leaders appear to be unable to get together for Chicago convention pur- poses, and what is more it is being in sisted that some of the prominent lead CTS are disposed to do all they can to defeat a union of forces of silver Dem ocrats, silver Republicans and Popu- lists. Senator Stewart says: "To h-l with Boies! He's no good" Then again the senator observes: Teller will not do'' To this, a man who knows Stewart says that Stewart is only a silverite to remain in the sen ate-that is all; that he does not want to see the silver forces win-
 Senator Harris is chairman of the National Bimetallic union, and he and Senator Jones are supposed to be in touch with possibilities. At the office of the Bimetallic union today the infor- nation was given out that Harris and Jones were against Teller; that they did not want him nominated. It was also stated that Harris and Jones want Boies nominated, and that they also do not want southern man nominat- ed for vice-president. On Tuesday next the silver Democrats will meet in conference at Chicago for the purpose of trying to devise ways and means for running the Democratic National con- vention. It is given out at the Bl- metallic union that no invitation will be extended to the bolting silver Re publicans or to the Populist silver leaders to join them at their coming conference, but the statement is made with gravity that if they put in an ap- pearance at Chicago they may be takeI into the conference As far as the lead CTS of the various kinds of silver par ties are concerned, 1t Is very plain that they will not get together to any alarm ing extent.
 There are many things entering into the matter that do not appear at th' surface. In the event that the bosses are run over at the Chicago convention the delegates may put up comblna tion that will take in all friends Of sll yer legislation, but unless something o that sort happens, the result will b' quite as obnoxious to a large percen

CHICAGO, June 27-Colonel John I. Martin, sergeant-at- arms of the Democratic National convention, re ceived blueprint plans from the archi- tect yesterday, showing the seating ar rangement of the convention hall.
 On paper it looks to be a we'll organized scheme. It takes up the south half probably little more than half the Coliseum, with the amphi- theater seats for spectators on three sides of the square, set apart for the delegates.
 The platform and gallery for Ma tional committeeman and distinguished guests will be at the east side, and di- reotly behind the chairman's stage.
 On the night and the left of this stage will be altogether 400 desks and seats for newspaper men.

the United States free from liability or responsibility for the results of it's wild and unconsidered act whereby the people of a struggling territory are burdened with a load of illegal debt from under which it will be difficult task to ever wriggle.
 The people are asking questions, and the following are a few of them caught by the reporter:
 Did the citizens of any of these coun- ties forward urgent petitions to Dele gate Murphy praying for this extension and amending act?
 Did the people of the territory, fear ing the bill might not pass, keep the wires hot between here and Washing ton?
 Was Delegate Murphy flooded with letters from here demanding or beg ging him to exert himself in favor of this act?
 Does anybody believe that Murphy held any of the iniquitous bonds? Was he moved in the interest of the people or was he moved in the inter- est of the bond holders? | Was any mention made of such g business during his campaign? If so would he have been elected?
 Does Murphy own any taxable prop. erty in this territory, or does he as. sume in any manner any portion ot this vicious burden on the people he was sent to Washington to represent Did he, as intimated by The Gazette of Wednesday last, make "a neal cleanup"
 Murphy knows a good thing whe1 he sees it; and he saw it in this bil when the bond holders pointed it ou 1 to him.

 New Converts to the Gold Cause.
LaborerS Decline to Accept
 Silver for Wages.
A Contractor Converts His Men to "Sound" Money and Suffers
 the Consequences.

HAZLETON, Pa, June 27.-The sil- yer agitation has developed a curious phase and no little embarrassment in the vicinity of Buck mountain.
 For some time past the Pennsylva- nia department of the Gold Monomet- allist Literary bureau has been paying particular attention to this section and thousands of pamphlets have been dis tributed, setting forth the distress which free silver would precipitate through a 50-cent dollar.
 Jacob Hogan, a contractor, who is building the reservoir at Buck Mount ain, has learned more on this subject during the past few days than he ever knew before. He employs 300 men. These men have been reading about fiat money, bimetallism and 50-cent dollars. Anthony Reetz is one of the most intelligent laborers, and his opin- ion is the opinion of all the others. He is an ardent gold advocate and in his zeal to spread the light laid particular stress on the depreciated silver coin. The result was that the men held a meeting and decided they would all be gold men, not only politically, but com- mercially, and that their labor should be traded on a sound money basis only. Reetz, who is an under boss, com municated this fact to Contractor Hogan Thursday. The men were to be paid their months wages on Satur- day. It did not strike Hogan, at the time, that there would be any diff culty in paying the men in gold. He called at his bank and demanded $1 900 in gold. He was struck dumb when the teller told him he could not get that sum in the entire county. Out of the $11,0O0,O0O on deposit in the sev- | eral banks of the county, it is esti- mated that scarcely half the required amount is circulating.
 The laborers, however, have refused to go beyond the S5 limit On silver, and the contractor and his gold stand ard advocating under boss are very much embarrassed in consequence.

STOLE A HOUSE.
The Extraordinary Disappearance of a
 Southside Mansion.

Among the assets of the estate of Oscar L. Gibbs was a mortgage upon the property of Mexican in the south ern part of the city, including a couple Of lots and small frame house. In- terest nor principal had been paid, so at the last term of court Administrator Pemberton obtained decree of fore closure and sale and himself bid in the property, the owner being apparently contemptuous of the course Of the law. AS the property was bringing in no income, he sought to secure posses sion. The customary notice met with no response from the inmate of the house, so finally a writ Of ejectment was secured as we'll as a writ of as- sistance, under the powers of which the sheriff notified the Mexicans that ii they did not forthwith leave they would be thrown out This had the desired effect and the house was ya- cated.
 Yesterday morning B. E. Paseoe, the agent for the property, in defsrence to the suggestion of the owner, went to place a strong paddock on the door, that the house be made the more se- cure.
 When he arrived where he had left the house but a couple of days before he stopped, rubbed his eyes and com muned with himself relative to the depth of his prior potations. No house was to be seen on the lots and they were the lots that had been so orna- mented but the previous night. Some thief, presumably the prior occupant, had come in the night and had hauled the structure off to some sequestered nook. And the curiosity of the matter is that the trail of the house cannot be found and the theft is probably for keeps.
