HARRISBUKG, FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 1892. VOL. NO. 73. ITABUSHJZD 1081 LAST EDITM.

THE HEW CARAMEL IT IS NOT A TEMPERANCE CANDY, But the Thirsty Theater Goer Take to It. May It is a kind of a concealed jag, is this new candy. Have you seen any of it yet Some confectioners, always on the lookout for something new, are now making an innocent looking chocolate caramel that is a mere shell of chocolate filled with whisky. Half a pound of such caramels would make a man as full as the goat that is said to get full although no one ever saw a drunken goat, and no more did anybody ever see a "biled owl" drunk, but you ve often heard of it. The new candy will not be popular in temperance circles, and in making up candy bags for Sunday schools next Christmas we feel certain in stating that rum filled caramels will not find a place therein.

There is only one purpose such a confection could serve, and that is to allay the thirst of the party who goes out between acts at the opera house. Did you ever notice that the oftener a man out between acts the tireder he is t's climbing up and down the opera house stairs. With a pocket full of rum caramels he could sit in his scat and eat and drink his fill, and not get a bit tired. Besides, he would save other people a great deal of annoyance, for when one of these fellows gets up to go out and get a drink he is sure to tramp on somebody's toes, get mixed up with the umbrellas, tear the dress trimmings of the ladies in the same row, and drag a sloppy wet overcoat over the noses of everybody he passes. Some years ago a genius invented a rubber capsule filled with liquor for the man who took bis thirst to the theater.

The capsule was a thin sheet of rubber containing whisky and looked like a large green gage plum. When bitten it exploded, the rubber collapsed and the man drank the contents. It didn't work. Man in New York put two in his mouth at once, being consumed by a non quenchable fire inside, and they exploded and scattered whisky all over his next door neighbors on either side. Of course the papers gave it away, and that killed the new fangled theater thirst quencher.

The new rum filled caramel may fill a long felt want, but the man who goes to the theater with a pound of them in his pocket had better sit near the door and get ready to fall down stairs or slide down the banister when the performance is over.

This morning the workmen engaged in tearing up the flooring of the bar room in theLochiel hotel, near the door of the gentleman's reading room, came across something that utterly unnerved them and caused the greatest consternation. Between the joists they found a full sized skeleton, lying in such a position as left no doubt that death had come upon its owner in the flesh while trapped beneath the floor. It was the skeleton of a cat, and old employes of the hotel now account for the mysterious wailing and the ghostly specter of a phantom cat that several years ago flitted in and out of the office and disappeared when hunted. It was the ghost of the cat, which had yielded up its nine lives. Married Last Evening.

of a Great "This racket between the Democratic factions in Harrisburg will not be healed up in a generation," said an old Democrat to a Telegraph man to day. The old Democrat evidently knew the situation. A warmer contest has never been waged by factions in this city, and it is a regular diamond cut diamond fight now, and all of the contestants are out for blood. The friends of Mayor Fritchey, who would like to see him go to Chicago, are bending every energy, and say that if they can hold that which they have gained legitimately the Mayor is bound to win. They allege that the opposition is putting out great sums of money and paying mon large wages to work against Fritchey, and shake their heads sadly as they sorrow full admit that they are not blessed with boodle, that they might retaliate.

The claim is made that some of the men who were outspoken in favor of Fritchey a week ago have experienced a change of heart through a monetary influence, and are now working against the Mayor. It is also said that besides money the enemies of Fritchey are giving shoes, suits of clothing and ether necessaries, and buying railroad tickets for those who want to take pleasure and business trips all to make votes. Time and again the charge is made that the post office clerks and letter carriers of the Democratic faith are doing missionary work for Hanlen while supposed to be at their duties. The Mayor's friends also say that it Mr. Hanlen supposes he is going to get the Lebanon delegates he will be badly fooled, as all of them are for Fritchey, and that the Mayor will pick up delegates here and there more than sufficient to elect him.

The Hanlen people are very wide awake, and are not losing any opportunities to be up early and catch the worm. They are early birds, and are doing a deal of scratching for votes. It is remarked that the Hanlen people wear very confident smiles, and their conversation is replete with such expressions as, "We are on top," "We are the people this time, We are going to knock him out," and others of a like character, indicating that they carry a few aces up their sleeve, a knife down the back of their coat and a revolver in their boot leg, to speak metaphorically. They sneer at the efforts of the police to help Mayor Fritchey, and have issued a card, thousands 6t which have been scattered all over the county. On one side of this card is a policeman bull dozing a citizen in an arrogant way, while the citizen exclaims, "Mr.

Cop, I am not a policeman, but I am for Christian Hanlen for national delegate." On the other side of the card is printed the Democratic bird of prey in the shape of a small rooster, with the words: I agree with the man who casts his vote for Christian Hanlen's delegates." Some surprise is manifest at the action of the State administration in fighting Mr. Hanlen. as he his always been a friend of Governor Pattison. In 1882, when Attorney General Hensel, of Lan caster, fought the Pattison people in Lancaster county, Mr. Hanlen, who then lived in Marietta, made the run as a dele gate for Pattison, utterly routed Hensel, and came to the State convention and voted for the Governor.

His friends say that it does not seem right that Hensel should be given a place in the Governor's confidence after fighting him, and Hanlen is to be turned down atter helping him to the best or his ability. It is even now a question ot whether Mr. Hanlen will not be amenp; the first to vote for Pattison at Chicago should Cleveland drop out. Up to date there are local disturbances in almost every district in the city, and there is much bad blood shown. If the election to morrow night passes by without bloodshed, it will only be because the leaders have succeeded in subuuing the turbulent elements by shutting off the supply of wet groceries.

A SILVER 8ET BACE. The Free Colnaice Men Fall to Carry xueir mil Throtqth. Washington. March 24. The anti silver men have won a partial victory.

While they did not succeed in defeating the free coinage bill to night they filibustered until Mr. Bland was only too glad to agree to an adjournment and let tbe bill go on the calendar. Immediately after the reading of the journal to day the period of general debate was cxtenaea three hours by tbe announce meut of Mr. Bland that he would postpone lhe. motion for the previous question until.

5 o'clock, in order to give opportunity for greater debate. Mr. Butler, of Iowa, began a short speech at one minute to fire, and as he sat down Mr. Bland, the persistent advocate of the hill, was rec ognized by the Speaker, and in a quiet tone of voice and an absence of the ner vousness which was evident in the sub dued, indistinguishable, but all pervading uuiou iuuuuu unit, me previous question on the pending bill Mr. Burrows in a calm, deliberate manner moved to lay the pending bill on the table, and said that motion took precedence of the motion of the gentleman from Missouri (Mr.

Bland), and demanded the yeas and nays on his motion. Amid intense excitement the clerk began to cill the roll on Mr. Burrows' motion, which brought the question to a square test vote. At the conclusion of the roll call the excitement had risen to fever heat. At first a rumor spread that the motion had carried by three votes and that the Bland bill was beaten.

On recapitulation it appeared that the motion to table was defeated by a tie vote 148 to 148 Mr. Crisp voting in the negative. Bland Is Desperate. WAsniNGTON.March 25. The iron hand of cloture is the only weapon that can throttle the' opposition to the free silver bill and force a final vote upon that meas ure in the House.

No one denies this to day, and Mr. Bland and his friends are already preparing to invoke this last parliamentary resource to secure a de cision on the passage of the bill, lhe tie vote on the motion to table the silver bill last night is the surpriso of the session, a surprise quite as much to the enemies of the bill as to its most enthusiastic friends. The advocates of the measure have constantly claimed from 30 to 40 majority on the passage of the bill, and the opponents have generally conceded a majority of from 20 to 30. The conclusion is irrcsistiblo, therefore, that a secret change of sentiment' of policy bus taken place within the past few days in certain quarters, resulting doubtless from letters and petitions, and an analysis ot me vote snows that this must nave been the case, as 3G or 33 absentees are un derstood to be about equally divided on me question at issue.

DUHBAS HILL MIXERS INTERRED An Astonishing Act on the Part of a Coroner. DmilL Pa. Ufarvfi three bodies of the victims of the Hill arm mine explosion, found Wednesday after a search of twpntr months wm buried thia morning. The remains were piaoea in comns, or rough boxes, down Im the mines, and the relatives and friends were not nermittpH trt cm tiim aii twit two were identified by, some trinket on their persons. The names were written the boxes, which vwere securely nailed imuct jiuiauy conauciea vne services at the cemetery, where twenty one of the victims were interred side by side.

uunnc the services the brother of Richard Bigley insisted upon seeing the face of his dead brother once again, but this was refused. At this he grew frantic. By heaven I shall see him," said he, and seizing a hatchet attacked the rough box to cut a hole in it. He was grabbed by several men, and after a struggle they succeeded in forcing him out of the cemetery. The other two bodies were buried in Franklin cemetery.

Coroner Hulburt and his jury executed a deed of astonishing stupidity. They decided that as two bodies were not positively identified, there was reason to doubt that any were, and to satisfy themselves them must view the remains again. Superintendent Lang and others begged them not to do so, but they proceeded to the graveyard, where 500 people were gathered. They ordered the undertaker to open the coffin of Martin Cavanaugh, Scarcely was the lid removed when every one in the cemetery rushed to the place. Among them were Mrs.

Cavanaugh, her daughter and a sister of the deceased. "Stand back, ladies," said the coroner. He was too late. The wasted, almost skeleton form was seen by its loved mother. Mrs.

Cavanaugh shrieked, as did her daughters; others crowded around and the outburst of grief was heart sickening. The women was prostrated, and had to be taken from the cemetery. The coroner, after being satisfied that it was the corpse of Cavanaugh, had it closed, and proceeded to another one. Here an effort was made to keep the crowd back, but it was useless. A similar scene was enacted.

When the casket containing the body of Courtney was opened, Mrs. Courtney fainted on it. Mrs. Joy was also overcome, and threw her bonnet and veil in the grave, after which she fell upon the coffin, and burring her face in the hard wood, sobbed piteously. The coroner's jury brought in a verdict that the men met their deaths by suffocation from tbe smoke from tbe fire accidentally started in brattices.

No blame was attached to the Hunbar company. A DASTARDLY DEED. Bobbers Attack a Woman Who Discover Xbeiu. Pittsbcrq, March 25. Mary Taylor, daughter of James Taylor, of McKees Krt, was awakened early this morning a noise in her room, and found three masked men armed with revolvers and knives searching the bureau drawers.

She screamed, and one of the robbers made a lunge at her with a knife, severely wounding her in the left arm. Her screams awakened her sister. and the robbers then bound and gagged the young ladies, but the noise attracted the other members of the household and neighbors, and the robbers were forced to make a hasty retreat. Mr. Taylor, who is nearly 100 years old, recently sold a piece of property, receiving $25,000 cash, and it ia supposed the thieves were after this money.

Mary Taylor has been an invalid for several years, and the shock from fright, together with the wound received in the arm, it is feared will result in her death. Her condition to day is very precarious. "BE Those Were Henry Smith Words on tho Scaffold. Louisville, March' 25. Henry Smith was hanged here this morning.

When he. mounted the scaffold Smith, whose courage never left him, stepped to the front and made a short speech. He was satisfied that he would pass into that world where there is nothing but happiness, and welcomed death. He then stepped en the trap. As the noose waa put over his neck Smith said, Be careful." A smile was on his features all the time.

The drop fell at 0:22, and eight minutes later Smith was pronounced dead. Smith, who was employed by Louis Specht as general utility man in his saloon and grocery, shot his employer January of last year. Smith wanted to take Specht's family driving the Sunday preceding the murder, and was angered when Bpecht drove instead.
