POLITICS IN FAYETTE. lrora toe surrounding neighborhood. The meeting was called to order at 8 o'clock and George Burnbam, of Burn' ham. Parry, Williams waa elected president and the following gentlemen were elected vice presidents: Jobn W. Brown, Professor D.

Lewla Twaddell, Fiuley Acker. John F. Keator, Paul Stnckhausnr end S. Grant. Jr.

On taking the chair, Mr. Burnbam in a aulct but earnest manner made a short ad dress. He Bald We have met here to protest in the most emphatic and most efficient manner against the very bad nomination made by our party for Sheriff. Applause. Remember, every vote cast tor Krumbbaar counts two against Leeds.

This nomination was forced on us and our only resource is to protest here ana at the pons." air. jjurn liani referred to the anttauated methods used to nominate a candidate, and said there was need of a radical change. Even if politics is a business, he argued, If your politi cian does not. serve you well, it is your amy to kick him out. and be advocated that Leeds should be kicked out and the people use ttieirown tuagmant as to candidates.

E. Cllutou Rhoads addressed the meeting aud made a strong resume of all the points against Leeds. He said: "We have met as citizens and Republicans to consider what claims to our support Mr. Leeds possesses," and, after speaking of the rhetorical arguments used by Leeds, he continued, when for years a man has had no apparent means of livelihood save what his Darly afforded, it Is not for bim to challenge those who have jifvuil tnftlmilt rnivuril Ml PhnudH reftd several edliorlals showing the dissatisfaction ou the candidacy of Leeds and then quoted from several court cases to show the extortions practiced in the Sheriff's office during Mr. Leeds' former terra.

Mr. Rhoads then said that a man whoso mistakes were so allied to rascality as to employ a man who charges $9 when be ought to charge $1 did not deserve to be elected. All Mr. Leeds' pretentions as a Sunday School worker and as a man with a stainless record were remorselessly exposed and Mr. Rhoads closed by asking: "Is it not sacrilege to huckster arouud the death of Abraham Lincoln and Garfield as a reason for putting in a responsible position sucb a rounder as Leeds? Let us do our part to prevent such a party disgrace and public calamity as tbe election of Leeds." Lincoln N.

Eyre was tbe next speaker. "The mass of the Republican party," he said "not professional politicians, but all that Is decent and manly In the party and all that Is decent and manly in the Journal Ism of tbe city are united in putting out of the party a thing that Is unclean. The Re fmbllcan party of Philadelphia bad suffered ong from its infamous bosses, but it now declares in trumpet tones that this state of things it will not endure any longer. For many years it has been monopolized by rinesters and thieves, who have allowed tho streets to get into an abominable condition, wno nave given us water that is unot to drink, who nave permitted the drainage to become so bad that day by day our children are dying of typhoid fever and who have in Councils a lot of pet ty plunderers whom no Bane man would allow to transact bis pri vate anairs. The question now is.

who Is the best man to serve tbe write of the courts, and this we propose to settle on Tuesday independent 3f tbe stupid and arrogantold man who thinks he can run the city. Leeds' friends say this is not a nuesllon of candidates, but or prin ciples. Now how can they fight for principles with a man who never had any. For some little time I used to read a paper called the Press, but after a time I found I did not know what was going on. So I gave It up.

I do not like calling names. I do not like to call tbe Prp.M a liar, so all that I will say is this, that tbe Press the lonely orean ffets so fatigued of Its position lu this thing that it lies aown every morning to get retresnea. You who have read the Press and no other paper do not know what the Personal Liberty League really is, but this I will say that whether the Personal Liberty League berigbt or me rersonai L.ioenyieague oe wrong tile Personal Liberty League has nothing what ever to do with this campaign. We do not propose to ngnt lor tne nanoatn under a man who never knew the Sabbath, and ou Tuesday next we will determine by our votes which is our choice for Sheriff Bill Leeds, whose every record is open to reproaob, or Charles H. Krumbbaar, faithful In every public trust, honestin every public duty and wnose nrivaie me is oevona tne suspicion ot a stain." Here tbe chairman read a letter from tbe ltev.

Charles It. Ames. He expressed bis Inability to bo present, and, in connection with the campaign, wrote as follows: "In my iudament Mr. Leeds oucht not to be elected Sheriff, because his past record bas not been such as to entitle hint to such a distinguishing mark of public confidence. I recognize bis ability, but I am obliged anno uisee in utra conspicuous representa tive of bad politics tbe kind of Dolittcs bv which Philadelphia hiis often been marie the victim of misrule and tbe prey of plunderers the kind of politics which creates iu all our cities tne most serious danger to good government.

"The loudest reason given for his elootion Is this: That he has been a successful politi cal organizer; that be bas often led tbe Re publican forces to victory. But so tar as tb city is concerned these victories have been tbe victories of tbe spoilsmen. When has be lilted bis band or opened his Hps to resist or rebuke the robbers? Whatever has been gained in tbe direction of good govern ment, has it not been gained by costly and courageous opposition to his leadership ana to his methods?" Henry W. Lamblrth and Ex Councilman Thomas Walter also addressed the meeting. The former traced Mr.

Leeds' career In the Legislature and cited every measure of pub lic oeneni mat was aoagea oy mm. Air. Walter, who was loudly cheered, denounced the Shrievalty candidate in no measured terms, aud particularly assailed the hypocrisy that, undor the mask of religion, would cajole the people from the well defined track oi a great public duly. TAKING SNAP JUDGMENT. Eleventh and Chestnut Try a Sharp Trick to Purge the Lists.

A desperate chance was taken yesterday by the Republican managers to have a number of lists of voters purged in Democratic divisions. The attempt succeeded to tbe extent' tbat the assessors have been subpoenaed. Tbe subpoenas were served last nigbt by private detectives, In place of tbe court officers. The Judges explained what has been the custom heretofore In purging the lists, and the Democratic managers are confident tbat the trick, as they consider It, will not be permitted. Ex Judge F.

Carroll Brewster, Henry S. Taylor and F. L. Wayland, representing tho city Republican executive committee, made tbe application to Judges Allison and Bid die, of Common Pleas Court, No. 1.

The petitions upon which tbe application wus based, alleged that in flfty ouo divisions, In fifteen different wards, 3,770 names should be stricken off for various reason b. Tho main objections were tbat the persons so listed for voting had not paid a State or county tax had removed to other residences; were dead; not naturalized; were duplicated on tbe same list: were fictitious; persons for whom tax receipts had been paid and were Improperly on tbe list, or who were not naturalized, but had voted at the lost election. Judge Brewster said that the act of January 80, 1874, provided for the citation of assessors to answer In court, when It is alleged tbat the lists contained the names of voters Improperly placed there, and that the Court Would hear the matter and order the purging of all Improperly listed names. Judge Hlddle inquired whether counsel thought It possible the Court could decide tbe matter by Tuesday, considering the faot tbat tbe matter Involved so many names and could only be determined after tbe giving or proper notice to tbe assessors. Judge Brewster replied thnt It depends upon the Court as to bow mucb could be done.

Judge Bldtle replied tbat It would not be possible to bgin to bear the matter before Monday and then tbe assessors would have to be allowed time to vindicate their lists. Tbe Court also stated that if the Court, were to sit. allday Monday the work could not be done.1 Judge Brewster suggested that the act can tern plated a sumniury proceeding aud wken asked by Judge Ulddlobow it was poKnlbfc for theC'Urt to decide upon three thuiiKiwd names of people between now and Tuesday replied thai two or three assessors could cited for yesterday afternoon. JudgeAlllson then spoke up and said tbat in tbat event tbe assessors would have to be allowed time to answer, and in turn, asked Jutlge Brewster whether he thought the list 4uld be purged In a week, to say nothing rf giving nolle to tbe other side. Judge Brvster said be did not apprehend that Iberflwould be mucb of a contest over the matte) and thut tbe court could speedily dlsposeoflt.

Judge Allison gave it as bis exnerlencathat In such cases there was not only a coktest but a protracted contest. Judge Brewter then Intimated tbat If two or three ss'Ssors were notified some progress at alleveuts might be made. This suggestion Judge Blddle thought feasible. Judge Alllseb then said that If the allegations In tb4 petitions were true, tbe list should be purged, but be thought the Court was asked to nerform an lintxwslbln thing. Hesnld bo i not think there bad been any purging of tbAllsts for flveor six years, and io come into ourt A day before election and ask the Court Io decide upon 8,000 names, and do tbat anl ail that was necessary before Tuesday, twos to ask an Impossible thing.

Judge Blddle said he thought tbe representatives both parties in such eases bad heretofore Mways agreed, except where the names were ti dispute, when the court whs asked to docVle it. In conclusion, judge Brewster asked leave to file the petition adding tbat be would have notice scut to tbe assessors, and If tbpy could agree pn certain names on the list he would com In on Mondar. Judge Allison decided Ibkt ir counsel would obtain the assessors' rovWed lists containing the names that shouldbe properly on them and bring them Into bourt, then corrections could be made. Hritold Judge Brewster to come In on Mnnrfcy morning, when the Court would bear wbat he had in inv with regard to notice to the etuor aide and an Two Beading Lawyers Undertake tbe Settlement of a Fend. OPrCML TELBORAM TO TBE TIMES.

Rsadins, November 5. An exciting episode took place In tbe Orphans' Court here this morning. Judge Schwartz was on tbe bench hearing arguments In a case. The bar waa full of lawyers. Among them wore Daniel E.

Schroder, a uopbew of Judtjo Hn genman, and Jobn F. Smith. There bas been a long standing grudge between the two overthe settlement of an estate. Scbros der went into tbe law library and Smith went In also to get a book. Tbey were alone In tbe room and what passed between them Is not known, bat tbose in tbe court room heard loud words, and Immediately thereafter tbe double doors leading into the court room from the law library opened and Mr.

Smith's figure appeared, followed by the flsta of Mr. Scbroeder, who seemed to bo striking at him from theinside. Mr. Smith eye glasses fell and as bo stumbled backwards down the steps he almost fell ou his knees. Quickly recovering himself, ho reached Into bis hip pocket, pulled a thirty two callbrerevolvrrand through the half closed doors fired at Mr.

Schroeder, who was on the Inside. Mr. Schroeder discerned bis movement and quickly darted through tbo door leading to tbe platform, where tbe Judge's bencb is situated aud where Judge Schwarta was sittiug. This undoubtedly saved his life, as Mr. Smith's aim wbb directly on a line wltb the upper portion of Mr.

Schroe der's body. Tbe ball passed through his coat sleeve. Tbe attorneys sprang to their feet and Judge Schwartz left the bench and cried out for the tipstaves nnd lawyers to stop tbe shooting, and bis orders were obeyed. Tbe combatants were then separated. Judge Schwarts will probably call the offenders up on Monday and administer punishment.

His run is between White Haven aud Boston. Mr. Bullinau bas children and grandchildren, but this fact did not deter him from making love to young ladies along the line of his run. The brakemon is good looking for one of bis age. Mrs.

After husband and wife had been separated for some months Bullman returned and asked his wife to forgive bira, promising to remain true to her the remainder of his life. A re conciliation was effected, but peace did not lone reign. Last Tuesday wben Bullman made tbe run from Easton to White Haven Mrs. Bullman was there ahead of bim.

There was a largo aud enthusiastic meet jg of Republicans in Horticultural Hall last light to listen to the music of the Weccacoe land and the speeches of the orators in the wind up meeting of the campaign.

The tage was filled with vice presidents and 3cretaries and the auditorium was fairly ill. There were a raood many orators, and they voted their efforts mainly to saving the ibbath this year and the country next. ho orators and candidates arrived in sec ons, and were loudly cheered as they made leir appearance. Every seat in the house is filled with campaign literature, and ys were stationed inside and outside dis buting copies of the Frees and the Advo its. Boys were also employed to distribute ed, white and blue circulars containing the ames of the candidates and the declaration principles.

LAST MEETING APPEALS. Save the Sabbath This Tear and the Country Next Tear. City Committee Chairman Ahem intro uced Mr. Pollock. The ex Governor spoke rainst personal liberty and in favor of reland's freedom.

He related a number of necdotes, and said the candidates had been landered. He spoke of Mr. Leeds' honesty, id said the abuse to a great extent came om envious persons. When we see the aloou keepere," said he, banding together a man to close their saloons to support jn a good man, I prefer to down I want you all on election day not to lose your saloons, but to take an hour or from your business and go to the polls vote." He spoke eloquently of Wash igton and the star spangled banner, and oncluded by calling on his audience to pre erve the sanctity of the Sabbath, and fin hed with the following apostrophe to the ersonal Liberty people Yes, ye men of ersoual liberty Lincoln could bend his and ask the God that you despise to ireserve this glorious nation." Secretary John Taylor read Our Deela ion of Principles," when Charles Emory Imith was introduced and louldly applauded, vlr. Smith bowed and said We stand on he eve of a great victory.

Our party has Iways been strongest whon it has had a rand moral issue, and we are now fighting ne of the noblest battles." He was eloquent the Firesides and Home and the Protective Tariff." He recalled the slavery lays and called on the names of Lincoln nd Grant. He denied "We are playing the eligious racket," and said he would "hurl be taunt back in the teeth of the nnholy illiance." He quoted Shakespeare, and with Lady Macbeth said: "Out, damned mot! Out, I say!" A LETTER FROM BEYOND THE SEA. He then spoke a good word for Blaine and iok the audience into his confidence. Amid ntense silence he dramatically stepped to ae front of the stage and announced I hold in my hand a letter which has omo across the seas. There it is," continued le speaker mysteriously.

It is a private dtter to a personal friend, and, although it is confidential and the writer might not ike the publicity given it, I will take the iberty and bear the burden of the responsibility of Teading a portion of it to you." Mr. Smith then dropped his voice to a re pectful tone and read There can be no oubt, I hope, of Mr. Leeds' election. He irs been so true a Republican these many iars, and in office has always done so well at he deserves the full aud cordial vote of he entire party." Mr. Smith then raised his voice to a iumphant shout as he proclaimed 'This, Mr.

President, is the electric lessage that comes across the seas from our atchiess leader James 6. Blaine. Cheers. with these ringing words from our natchless leader let us march on to victory." William D. Forten followed Mr.

Smith, fe remarked that a gentleman had asked him just before the meeting if he was still that Republicau party. 1 "I said," hecontinued, "I'm still movin'. Laughter. But I may be a little still next Wednesday, concluded Mr. Forten.

He claimed that when the Democratic party governed the Fifth ward it was dangerous for a colored man to live there, but now law and order everywhere prevailed in the ward. A BOUQUET FOR BEAVER. At this juncture the audience rose and cheered as Governor Beaver, escorted by two Reserve officers in their new helmets, walked on the stage. The enthusiasm increased nd three cheers were given as Charles Frocd, who said he lived in th Twenty sixth division of the Twenty eighth ward, presented the Governor a small bouquet, vhich Mr. Freed had not handled any too careful ly.

The Governor smiled and thanked donor and another cheer was givsn. Governor Beaver said he had just tld the Peace Commissioners in Association; Hall thBt on Tuesday two great parties wauld go to the polls and the country would accept the arbitrament of the ballot and be tafe. He believed the Republican party wuld be triumphant next Tuesday, and in ihat event the country was sure to be safe. He said he would take tor bis text Buchanan's call for a day of fatting just before the outbreak of the rebellion. He then attacked the Democratic party and waved the bloody shirt; He denounced free trade, taffied honorable and honest labor and claimed the present prosperity of the country is due to the Republican Senate and not to the Democratic administration and Congress.

He apologized for Leeds' vote against high license and thought his record consistent "It is a question now," continued the speaker, whether he or the Governor and he majority were right." He made a strong ipeal to the Anti Leeds Republicans to ave the party and the country and feelingly eferred to his own defeat in i882, which he was cansed by Republicans, and from the eflocts of which the country bad not yet recovered. He asked them to stand by the old Republican party and save the country in '88. Andrew Jackson malonky. John A. Clarke was the next speaker.

Many of the audience left while he was talking, and in response to divided calls for Warwick and Maloncy, Andrew Jackson Maloney took the floor and said: "If there was anything lacking to give Republicans an assurance of success, it was found the large and enthusiastic gathering before him." Mr. Maloney repeated his familiar argument why a Republican should and a Democrat should not be elected, and again and for ho last time sternly refused to be elected by 'ersonal Liberty Leaguers. He promised pure, clean, administration of the office nd closed with an eloquent plea for the reservation of the sanctity of the sabbath. Notwithstanding Ex Senator Bertie Adams was the next speaker the audience arose and dispersed at tho conclusion of Mr. Muloney't address.

Giving Away Smiles and Rosea to Voters aud Carrying Terror to the Democratic Camp. SPWIAT, TKLERRAM TO THE TIMES. New Yobk, Novembor 5. The main topic of conversation among what might be called the upper circles of official society in this State is the matchless campaign that is now being conducted by Mrs.

Fred Grant. It is discussed at the clubs and in the drawing rooms of the city it is talked about in the hotel lobbies and on tho curbstones of the State; and even those exclusive people who turn up their noses when the word politics is mentioned have condescended to uotice this modern innovation aud to discuss it at some length. The name of Colonel Grant himself, it must he said in common justice, docs not lisnre largely in the discussions so evoked. Whenever talked about at all, whether in ill temper or in a good humored way, it is called Mrs. Fred Grant's campaign." Indeed, there has been nothing at all approaching it since Lady Randolph Churchill went through her husband's Parliamentary district appealing to the Conservative voters not to desert the latter in his need.

TVEAKSKSS OF THE CANDIDATE. It was admitted at the beginning of the canvass that Colonel Grant's nomination was an experiment entirely. He is wholly devoid ot those personal qualities which fit men for political leadership. On the stump he is an utter failure, and in the council chamber he is equally weak. Nature also saw fit to deny him the executive ability of tho organizer, anil he has nothing of that personal magnetism which induces men to followa leader whether he Is right or wrong.

All this, too, Was known before howasnonii natcd for Secretary of State, but the party leaders put their trust in the drawing power of his family name, which had been used with telling effect by Conkling and Cameron to save the State for Garfield inl8S0and which, it was hoped, would be sufficient again. Thore was not at that time any knowledge of Mrs. Grunt's campaign capabilities, and the first effect of the nomination was a feeling that it was a fatal blunder. MRS. GRANT TO THE KESCUE.

Since then, however, there seems to be a more hopeful feeling visible. Iu a happy hour the candidate's wifo conceived the idea of accompanying him on his tour through a portion of the State, not expecting at that time, however, to assume any of its public responsibilities. To use a common expression it vas a great scheme. At the first place that was visited the politicians were introduced to the winsome little lady, who stirred their enthusiasm as completely as her husband had failed. Where he was slow she was bright and vivacious.

Where he was stolid she was quick and animated. The callers, disappointed iu tho candidate, turned with pleasure to tho candidate's wife, and tho campaign managers, noting her influence, shrewdly insisted tbat she should continue on the journey. It is said that she was not very willing to do this at first, but being assured that her husband's election dopeaded on her, finally acquiesced. THE GRKAT SCHEME SUCCESSFUL. The great scheme was a great success in other words, this triumph was but the forerunner of many others.

Wheievor the couple went the candidato was speedily retired to give place to his wife. Tho character of the campaign was also largely changed, becoming a sort of social pilgrimage in more ways than oue. Nearly every city and town that was visited gave tho couple its handsomest drawing room and parlors in which to receive their guests, and a favored few of both sexes were asked to remain and (line "with Mrs. Grant." Of course, Colonel Grant did not neglect the more statesmanlike duty of setting 'em up for tho boys" at the rural tavcru or the Hole in tho Wall" in the bigger owns, and tho politicians who traveled with him told "tbe boys" to get out tho vote aud count it. But the bulk of the work of winning converts was done by Mrs.

Grant. JIK. I. GRANT'S PERSONAL QUALITIES. Mrs.

Grant was boru in Missouri and is two years younger than her husband. She possesses rare musical qualities, and is a charming siugcr and an exceptionally good pianist. Sho was educated, as was her sistor, Mrs. Fotter Palmer, of Chicago, iu a convent at Georgetown, 1). and bears in her manner the unmistakable evidence of culture anil refinement.

Her popularity in society is due more to tho kindness of her impulses than to auy gifts which are acquired. In conversation she captivates the car with her musical voice. Sho has a pretty face, glowing with sunshine. Sho is easy and graceful always and her ability to euterlain is wonderful. She, has a pleasant word and a smile for every one she meets, and makes busts of fricutls whorevor she happens to go.

HER TASTE IN DRESS. Mrs. Grant dresses with taste and in fashion anil this fact has not been without iufltienco in tho campaign. At Buffalo on Thursday night sho wore a dark blue satin dress en train, hand embroidered and cut square in the neck. From a black velvet ribbon around her white, shapely neck was suspondud a medallion miniature of the late General Grant.

The same costume was worn at the public reception from 5 to 6.30, during which she carried a superb bouquet of La France roses. To many of those who were presented she smilingly gave a rose or two, three bouquets being exhausted in this campaign work. I ra afraid sue sstampoding our crown. said ono old line Democrat in a despondent tone. "We could knock htm out, but when it comes to giviug roses and the likes of that we're out.

As a campaigner she's worth a dozen of him," pointing to Colonel Grant. and Mrs. Graut live with tha General's widow in this city aud are much respected for their model married life. Mrs. Graut is an especial favorite of her mother in law utid after Nellie Grant's marrisge bciMino the dead General's pet.

The couple have two children, a buy and a girl, who huvu not yet figured iu the campaign. Until this year Mrs. Grant avoided all nolurlety, but the faino of the canvass has spread fur aud wide and is fittingly described now as Mrs. Grant's campaign." CITY" NEWS IN BRIEF.

James Glenn, a thirteen year old boy, was locked up last night in a cell of tbe Central Station, with a howling drunkard in the next cell bordering on delirium tremens.

James Glenn Is a wee bit of a lad and six foot Reserve Officer John A. Nicholson "pulled him In." It did not take much muscle or courage to make the arrest, as James Glenn, 13 years of age, sixty pounds weight, did not offer any resistance, and If he bad stalwart John A. Nicholson, weight two hundred pounds avoirdupois, would have "pulled htm in" if the militia had to be called out. James Glenn is a district messenger boy and his crime consisted of distributing Dechert circulars in front of the Leeds Ma loncy meeting at Horticultural Hall, where Leeds circulars and copies of tbe lonely organ were being given without hindrance to every passer by and tbose who entered the meeting place. After keeping tbellttlennelocked up until midnight be was released, because it must have beon known by the police officials and burly Reserve Officer John A.

Nicholson, weight 200 pounds avoirdupois, If be bad studied tbe Police Manual, as peremptorily required by Director Stokely, that, while distributing circulars is a breach of ordinance, the fine can only be collected by civil process. Tbe little shaver sat In acell under Central Station and while listening to the drunkard's ravings in tbe next cell told his story: "1 was only serving Democratic circulars," he said, as he nervously cried, "in front of Horticultural Hall. We stood on the steps, me and my cbum, fora while, but the policemen ordered us down and tbeu we stood on tbe pavement. Tbey ordered us away altogether, and so we went up to tbe Amcricus Club and told them what tbe police were doing to us. and Col.

Jamison told us to go back and keep on serving, ana so we aia. ne omcers triea to make us go away, but we wou dn tgo. and then I was arrested." Chief of Detec tives ood, who bad listened to tbe recital, shook his bead and said Well, I guess I won't interfere or meddle with this case." Tbe acid faced turnkey who bad charge of tne cells, wnose voice is enough to Diigui the future of any prisoner, answered every question in a snarling manner. "There's the record," bo said. "Vou can't speak to mm ii you're a reporter, i es, imcuoisou is a Reserve officer he belongs here." PREPARING FOR REPEATERS.

Republicans Indignant Over Their Names llelng Printed as Illegal Voters. When the alarming disclosures were made by The Times of irregular assessments of voters and the purchase of tax reoolpts for them, proving contemplated fraud, the Republican managers started In to canvass every dl vlslou having a Democrat Ic assessor. The canvass was completed In time to be advertised In tho louoly organ yesterday, but the list of names of "illegal voters" was so defective that It has served tho purpose of amusing tbe Democrats and Independents and creatingtbe greatest Indignation among the very considerable portion of Stalwart Republicans who have been classed as Illegal voters.

The advertised lists occupied several pages of space, and there have already been enough corrections and denials come In to fill a page. It seems tbat In place of employing men liviug In the attacked divisions to make the canvasses the men wore sent from other sec tions, and being Ignorant of tho localities hundreds of serious blunders bave been made, which have been amusing to everybody but the unfortunates who wore pa raded Derore the public as disqualified voters.

STEPHEN B. GlPSON, THEY LIKED THE TLACE. Burglurs Pay a Second Visit to a Store ami Are Arrested. A pair of persistent burglars wore served with a preliminary dose of Justice yesterday morning at the Central Station. Tbey gave their names as Thomas Conroy, of 218 Godfrey street, and William Young, of 2(115 East Huntingdon street.

About two weeks ago the store of Robert P. Hill, at Seventy third street and Woodlnnd avenue, was robbed of goods valued at over $100. The thieves stolo a ladder from a neighboring lumber yard and, cllmbiug to tbe roof, pried open tho trap door, by which they gained an entrance to the store. Early yesterday morning Officer Dales, of tbe Twenty first district, observed two men acting suspiciously. Ho watched them and saw them ascend the steps In irnntof tho storo.

He Immediately placed them tinder arrest and took them to tbe station house. Tbey wore bfonght to the Central Station, where Mr. Hill found that Conroy was wear ing some oi ine goods stolen irom his store. He reoognlr.od Conroy's shirt, suspenders, stockings, shoes and underclothes as part of the booty. There Is no doubt but.

that the prisoners visited the store yesterday morn lug with the intention of again robbing it. Magistrate Pole held them under $1,800 ball each for trial, charged with iulony aud conspiracy. Experience has eonclmively shown, in ever large cily in the country, that good municipal government is practically impossible so long as we elect our municipal officers on account of their political affiliations and while we continue to vote for organisations rather than for men.

SPECIAL TKLEORAM TO TUB TIKES. Coknellsville, November 5.

The oldest Inhabitant does not recollect wben Fayette county voters were so thoroughly aroused over a local election as they are now over the ludlclal contest. It Is the general topic everywhere. The Boyle outlook has grown perceptibly brighter and his friends now confidently claim bis election. They report but little remaining Democratic opposition. In tbe Sea wright strongholds but little disaffection remains.

What does exist will be more than balanced by Republican votes for Boyle. Tbe latter will also get tbe bulk of tne colored voto and Is expected to carry tbe Republican boroughs of Union town and Brownsville. His plurality over Ewlng in Fayette is variously estimated at from 600 to 1,009 and hie vote in Greene at 1,009 to 1,500. It is said that Ewlng will not poll the entire 1,900 Republican votes In Greene. It is cer tain that county pride will give some of them to Buchanan, while a few are known to be for Boyle.

For these reasons Ewlug'ji vote is estimated at from 1,100 to 1,500. Tho Ewlng campaign tnaungers of course don't agree to these esli mates. They profess to be confident, but don't give any figures. The details ot tbe huge Republican corruption fund are gradually coming to light. Not only did Judge A.

K. Ewing con tribute largely to the fund, but emissaries were sent outside of tbe county to frantically appeal for aid. One Republican went to Pittsburg and called on the leading coke manufacturers, notably J. M. Scbocminaker, Henry Clay Frlck and Gilbert F.

Rafferty. They resented his assurance and turned hlmawny empty handed. In addition to the boodle methods the Ewlng managers have resorted to trafficking In liquor licenses. A prominent hotel man In Connellsvtlle has been served with a notice that be must cease bis active work for Boyle or lose his license In case Ewing Is elected. In other parts of the county similar tactics are being employed and the opposing party is laboring with an energy begotten of despair.

Ihare understood to night that a great many people employed in our Park have been told to vote against our ticket. Well, all I got to say it they can't rote that way without im finding it out, and if they do they'll get paid back some day. And them that tell them to cote that way will get paid back, with more than six per cent, interest. William R. Leeds' Speech iu Com missioners' Kail.

Tbo subject of a great deal of talk during the past few days bus been tho strange conduct of County Treasurer Tllghman Busfctrk, who hoe been missing about six weeks.
