Co.. Dickinson's Men Or
ganizs to Fight Record
Pagan Men In the Eighth
and Ninth Wards
RED HOT POLITICAL STUFF
WOMEN ADMIRERS OF FAGAN IN
THE SEVENTH ALSO ATTEMPT
TO ORGANIZE WITH A VIEW TO
MAKING A HOUSE TO HOUSE
CANVASS.

The regular Republicans, followers of
Republican Leader Col Samuel Dickin-
son, organized new regular Republican
association in the Eighth Ward last
night A number of Ninth Ward regu
lars attended the meeting. \ 1ei-hoe
manifesto prepared by Luther Hansell
was unanimously adopted. In his mani
festo Mr.. Hansell alluded to the adher-
ents of the Record Colby Pagan faction
as political gnats," reform flies, bump
tious politicians, hybrid Pagan Repub-
icans,'' and called Mr.. Record
"machiaevellian schemer" and a crafty
head WOLF
A part of the manifesto prepared by
Mr.. Hansell reads as follows:-
THE ambitious plans of the bunptious
politicians and mediocre persons, some of
whom are enjoying a means of livelihood
pfacd in their hands by the leader they
now condemn, will doubtless fail to ma
terialize, and not withstanding the
scratching of the crafty head wolf there
is little fear that the door of power and
patronage will open to their capacious
appetites if wide-awake Republicans Go
their duty
The manifesto further sets forth THAI
the Record -Fa gancColby faction are con-
tinually making ''shismatic and disin-
genous attacks upon the policies of the
Republican party, and that the policies
that that faction sets forh are worse han
the convolutions of talking harle-
quin."
This is red-hot political stuff and is
well calculated to disturb the beauty and
serenity ofa mackerel sky in August.
The Woman's Auxiliary, of the Sew
enth Ward Republicans Club aiso enecteo
temporary organization yesterday af-
ternoon. The sudden downpour of rain
probably prevented a permanent organi-
zation. Mrs Walter Gprmans wife of
Alderman German Of the Seventh Ward,
was made temporary president ana Mrs
Harry Snyder was made temporary sec
retary. Most of the prominent Republi-
can women Of the ward are out of town
and it was decided to await until they
return before e.ecting permanent officers
Large James Mccarthy,
who had promised to address the meet
ing, was also out of town, having been
called to Philadelphia on business He
sent letter regretting his inability to
he present, but told the leaders that he
would surely be present at th next meet
ing and make an address. This meeting
will be held next Tuesday evening 1t
is the intention of the Ladies' Auxiliary
Club to form bowling club and a
euehre club. They are allowed the ex
elusive use of the Seventh Ward Repub-
lican Club (Fagan) three afternoons in
week. 1t is their intention to make a
house to house canvass when fully or
ganized. Mrs. Mehger, Mrs. Sickles and
Mrs. Richards We're appointed a com
mittee to draft constitution and by

of the estate is placed at from $70,000,-
900 to $S0,O00,000, while several ex-
perts maintain that $100O00,O00 is not
an excessive figure.
OF the estate which makes Mrs. Rus
sell Sage the wealthiest woman in the
world fully $27,000O00 is represented
In loans In Wall street, all secured by

or less would comprise the realty. Of
the remainder the bulk is In railroad

Relatives Of Russell Sage who think
that they can obtain better terms than
the $4,000 which he willed to each
nephew and niece have adopted Fa-
bian tactics. By throwing out hints
that they feel they are entitled to a
larger share Of the estate they expect
to- bring about a settlement. The In
ducement will be their withdrawal SO
that Mrs Sage will be free to carry
out philanthropic projects which have
been the dream of a lifetime. She is
now seyenty-seven years of age.
The determination of certain of the
Sage heirs to contest the will leaving
them $4,000 each was strengthened by
a report made to them that a short
tirne before his death Russell Sage pre-.
sented outright to his wife the sum Of
$10,O0O000 in cash

HARTJE SCORES POINT.
Detective Tells of Finding Alleged
discriminating Letters.

Pittsburg, July 31.-When the trial
of Augustus Hartje's application for
divorce from Mrs. Mary Scott Hartje
was resumed the presence of several
private detectives in the courtroom
gave rise to the report that the plain
tiff would attempt to show where he
obtained the famous love letters, said
to have been written to Coachman
Nadine, the correspondent.
This surmise was correct, as the first
witness called was John b. Staub, an
employe of private detective agency.
Staub testified that he visited Ma
dimes room twice and with John A.
Anderson, another detective, broke
open Madness trunk and took from it
the letters in question. He identified
the court exhibits as the missives
taken
During Staub's testimony Mrs.
Hartje appeared uneasy and then
angry, while her husbands manner
was apparently one of cool indiffer-
ence.
Nadine came into court while the
witness was on the stand and after
listening intently to the testimony for
a time hurriedly went away.
Staub was unable to tell what other
articles were In the trunk and several
times became badly tangled under the
fire of cross questions. Detective An
derson was then called and corrobo-
rated Staub's story Of the finding of
the letters

ADMITS KILLING FAMILY.
Negro Looked Up In Washington, Pa,
Confesses Murder of Pearces.

Negro Locked Up In Washington, Pa,
Confesses Murder of Pearces.
WASHINGTON, Pa, July 31-No at
tempt has been made to take from
jail Elmer Dempster, the negro who is
charged with the murder of Mrs. Sam
uel Pearce and her children at Canons-
burg. The excitement which prevailed
upon the arrival of the officers with
the prisoner has subsidized, and all dan
ger of demonstration is apparently
over
Dempster has made several confes-
sionS and has made q clean breast of
the Canonsburg tragedy, admitting
that he killed Mrs Pearce and the
children. In a supplementary confes-
sion he cleared UP another murder
mystery, which has led to the arrest of
two other negroes in Cherry valley,
near Burgettstown.
The names of the men are Patterson
and Bucher, and they are charged with
the murder of John Koboda, a wealthy
foreigner, who was found dead in In
dependence township on May /.
Dempster was a helper ON the Pearce
farm, and after the departure of
Samuel Pearce for the Canonsburg
railroad station Dempster attacked the
four-yearold daughter He was frus-
trated by the mother, who went to a
bureau to get revolver to shoot him.
The negro says he secured the gun
first and after killing the mother and
shooting the children set fire to the
house to hide the crime
Robert Pearce, three years old, the
only survivor of the awful tragedy,
who was shot through the body, will
be brought to the Canonsburg General
hospital in an effort to save his life
