SOUR PASTE LIZARD. The Wrisrslers in South Side Water Only a Tedaler'a Triclc An Allegheny physician having his sus picions aroused that there was some trick about the living things found in the' water on the South Side when examined under a microscope, found that a peddler of micro scopes had led to all the trouble. The attention of Dr. Shilato, of Allegheny, was called to the matter. Dr.

Shillito possesses one of the finest microscopes in the country, and is an expert in all microscopical matters. He examined one of the peddler's plates, and lound that the wrigglers were what are known as eodr paste lizirds. These creatures, invisible to tbe naked eye, are generated by sour paste. The paste can hs dried and kept for years. A drop of water will dissolve it and reanimate the thousands of liz irds that it contains.

The peddler was hunted up and forced to divulge his secret. He had in his vest pocket a small bottle filled with sour paste in liquid form. On entering an office he would ofier to thow the impurities in a drop of water. The drop would be brought to him on his glass plate. In the most natural manner possible he would draw his toothnick, which was etictsing in the invisible bat- tl, and spread the water over the surface of the glass.

Just tnough of the sour paste adhered to the toothpick and was deposited on the glass to carry a number of the lizirds jth it. The xlass, so prepared, would be placed uuder tbe magnifier acd the water would be found to be alive with transparent lizards that seemed never tired of tU-hing back and forth under the flass. Dr. Shillito ex- pos-d the trick to a number of friends last evening after having successfully made them believe that it was the water alone that they were examining. A Thrllliug Situatlou.

A child named Dickey, scarcely able to walk, performed a dangerous feat last evening, its come is on tne third floor ot the Revenue Collector's office, corner of Federal and Erie streets, Allegheny. The windows of the third floor are sixty-five feet from the pavement. A coping about a foot wide traverses the front just under the wmdowsuL The child, by cumbin upon a oed, reacnea tee window, it got out upon the coping and was standing there ccmplacently watching the cifowd of peope below. Then the little one clapped its hands and ran along the narrow footway. Uace it tripped and every one expectea to ste it rail, pien turned pale aud women screamed, wj man becam i deathly sick iu the azonJf suspense, ine child ran to tne ena oi copmg and turning walKed halt way Dai wheu a young man wuo had ran irota too pavement to the third story window, while the crowd watched, caught the little one ia his arms and drew her into the room.

JSew Klevators. Iu the matter of elevators Pittsburgh is not exceptionally progressive and its conservative element is more prominently represented in the lack of these con veniences than in their adoption. Mr. Jacob M. Gusky, the clothing merchant, has recently returned from an extended trip through the West elevators, and from his investigations has selected two of those manufactured by the Crane Brothers, of Chicago, The Cranes were Chicago contractors ana did mucn river and sewer excavating ueiure uiey commenced to build elevators.

Experience shows that any party not openly opposed to the traffic will engage in this eoracetitson, will court the iavor of the criminal classes, will barter away the puhlic morals, the purity of the ballot and every trust and object ot good goverament for oarty success; and patriots and good citizens should find in this practice sumcieni cause tor immediate withdrawal from all connection with their party. THE TAB IFF PLASK. Sixth That while we favor reforms in the administration of the Government in the abolition of all sinecures, useless cilices and officers, in the election by the people officers of the Government ihstead of appointment by the President, that competency, honesty and sobriety ara essential qualifications for holding civil office and we oppose removal of such persons for mere administrative offices ex cept so far as it may be absolutely necessary to secure enectiveness to the vital issues on which the general administration ot the Government was entrusted to a party. That the collection of revenues lrom alcoholic liquors and tobacco shouid be abolished, as the vices of mea are not a proper subject for taxation. That revenue trotu customs auties should be levied for the support of the Government economically aarr.inisterrtd.

and when So levied the fostering of American labor, manufactures and industries should constantly be held in view. That the public land stiould be held for homes for the people, and tot for gifts to corporations or to be neld in large bodies for speculation upon the needs ot actual settlers. 'iliac gratetui care ud support should he given to our soldiers and sailors, their dependent widows and orphans, disabled in' the Bervice of the country. 3'hat we repudiate as un-American ant1 contrary to and subversive of the principles of the Declaration of Independence, from which our Government has grown to be the Government of fifty-five millions of people and a recognized power among the nations, that asy persons or people shall or may be excluded from residence or citizenship with all others who may desire the benefits wh.ch oaf institutions corner upon the oppressed of all nations. That while these are important reforms and are demanded lor purity of administration and the welfare of the people, their einK into iusisrnifloanf.e when coin-pared with the drink traftic, which now annually waste $800,000,000 of the wealth created by toil and thrift, aud drag down thousands of iaruiaes from conilort to poverty, which hils penitentiaries, ins.ine asylums, hospitals and institutions tor dependency, which destroys the health, saps lndntry and loss of life and property to thousands in the land, lowers intellectual and physical vigor, emits the cunning hand cf the artisan, the chief cause of bankruptcy, insolvency and loss in trade, and by its corrupting power endangers periietuicy of free institutions, that Congress should exercise its undoubted pbwer and prohibit the manufacture and sale of intoxicating beverages in tbe District ot Columbia, the Territories of the United States, and in ail places over which the GovernmeDt has exclusive jurisdiction; that hereafter no State snail he admitted to the Union until its constitution shall expressly prohibit polygamy and the manufacture aud sale of intoxicating beverages.

Seventh We earnestly call the attention of the laborer and mechamc, the miner and manufacturer, and ask investigation of tbe banelul effects ucn labor and industry caused by the needless liquor business, which will be found the robber who lessens wages and profits, the destroyer of the happiness and family welfare of the laboring man, and that labor and all legitimate industry demand deliverance from the taxation and los3 which this trahie imposes, and that no tariff or other legisiatio-i cau so healthily stimulate production or increase a demand tor capital and labor or produce so much of comfort and content as the suppressing of this traffic would bring to the laboring man, mecnamc or employer of labor throughout our land. 1HB WOMEN'S XJXIOS. Eighth That the activity and co-operation of the women of America for the promotion of temperance has in all tho history of the past been a strength and encouragement which we gratefully acknowledge and record. In the later and present phase of the movement for the prohibition of the license traffic by the abolition of the in saloon, the parity of purpose aud metuod, the earnestness, zeal, intelli gence and devouan of the mothers u-l oaughters of the Women's Christian Temperance Union bas been eminently blevsetl by iiod. Kansas ana Iowa have giveu her as "riiieoifs" of rejoicing and the education and arousing of tue puDiic mind and the de-maad for the constitutional amendment now prevailing are largely the rait of her prayers and labors, and we rejoice to have our Christian woman uuito with us that, sbarinj ia tbe ibor that shall bring the abolition of this trsffio to the polls, sue shall join iu the grand 'Praise God Jrom whom all blessings flow." when by law our boys and friends shall be free froia legal drink temptation.

Ninth That believing in the civil and political equality ot tua sexes, and that the ballot ia the hands ot women is riht for har protection, and would prove a power tul iy for tue aooii-tion ot the drink saloon, the execution ot htw, the promotion of reiorm in civil att'aii, auj the removal of corruptiou in public iii'e, aud behoving, we relegate the outworking of this rcicrm to the discretion ot the i'rouibition party in the re.cral acaording to the conditiaa of public sentiment in thoss States. uentn that we gratenuiy acKiiowieae ana praise GoJ for tha prcseuce ot His spirit guid ing the counsels anu granting luesuccess wuicti has been vouchsafed in the progress of the temperance refjim and looking to Him from wnom an wisuom ana come, we asmue voters of the United States to make the prin ciple of the above declaration a ruling principle in the government of the Nation and of the States. PROHIBITION PARTY SPLIT. The Contending Factious in Indiana Hold Separate Conventions. -Indianapolis, July 24.

The In diana Prohibitionists are unable to agree on the policy to be pursued in the present canvass, and as a result the representatives of the party held two conventions in the city to day. One faction, headed by M. Sheil, E. F. Bitter and others, favoring the nomination or a fatate ticset, assembled in English's Opera House, and organized by selecting Eii F.

Bitter Permcnent Chairman. Mr. Ritter on taking the chair delivered a speech urging tna nomination oc a State ticket. A long and spirited discussion ensued on a resolution pledging the participants of the convention to support a ticket and platfotm, and a resolution to that effect was fiualiy adopted. About forty members declined to be bound by this action and left the hall.

A communication was received from the anti-State ticket Convention asking conference, which rtqaest was at first laid ou the tabie, but this action was subsequently reconsidered and a conterouce committee appointed. Nothing was accomplished, however, by the contereiice. The following nouuiuat ions were made; Governor, K. S. D.

Wiggins, Jasper county; Lieutenant Qjvernor, C. Siier, Hendricks; Secretary of State, B. F. Marion; Auditor, Kii Miller, St. Joseph; Treasurer, A.

J. Taylor, Alien; of Supreme Court, E. P. Mauiinoud, Jasper; of Public Instruction, Itylaud S. Brown, Marion.

Tli titate Central Committee was instructed to name candidates for Attorney General and Presidential electors. The platform denounces the old parties for failure to recognize prohibition and declares in favor of statutory prohibition; favors woman suffrage; declares the office should not be given as a reward for party service; demands that the effects of alcohol oa the lium.au system be taught in schools; charges the last Legislature with treachery in refusing to submit the peuditg amendments to ihs constitution and demands the enforcement of ail existing laws. THE ADVEKSE FACTION. The faction opposed to the nomination of a State ticket aa4iiiVled in the Grand Op6ra House and was called order by E. P.

Reynolds. A permanent organuition was fleeted by making Will Cuoibacy Chairman, with a Vice President from each Congressional district. A proposition looking to harmonious action with the Shiel Ccnveutioa was adopted and a committee of conference appointed, but the conference was fruitless. Dr. Houser addressed" the convention, and in the course of his remarks charged that hiel was acting fraudulently.

The meeting finally determined to organize a Constitutional Amendment Association, the object being to aecare the eiectioa of members cf the Legislature who will vote for a Constitutional Convention, thus affording Prohibitionists an opportunity to express their vie.vi at thipoila in the election of members of said body.

Eitemiller. TDK PJLATFOUM. The Greenback FlanK Stricken Oat But One Issue Presented. Followini is the platform adopted at the Prohibition Convention yesterday, minus the change of name: First The Prohibition Home Protection party, in National Convention assembled, acknowledge Aimighty God as the rightful sovereign of all men, from whom the just powers of government are denied, to whose laws humaii enactments should conform, and that peace, prosperity aud happiness only can come to the people when their laws of the National and State Governments are in accord with the divine will. Second That the Importation, manufacture, supply and sale of alcoholic beverages, created ana maintained by the laws of the National and State Governments during the entire history of such -laws, is everywhere stiownto be the promoting cause of intemperance, vrith resultins crime and pauperism; making larce demands upon pubiio and private charity; imposing lanre ami unjust taxation public burdens tor penal and sheltering institutions upon thrilt, industry, manufactures ami commerce; endangering the" public peace, desecrating of the Sabbath, corrupting our politics, legislation and a i ministration of tue laws, shortening lives, impairing health and diminishing productive industry, causiug education to be neglected and despised, iuilufying the teachings of the Bible, the church and the school; the standards and guide3 of our fathers and their children in th founding and growth under God of our widely extended country, and which, imperiling the perpetuity ot oar civil and religious liberty, are baleful fruits by which we know that these laws are alike con-tray to God's laws acd contravene our happiness, and we call up jn our lellow-citizens to aid in the repeal of tUese laws and the legal suppression cf this baneful liquor traffic THE DISTILLERIES.

Third The fact that during the twenty-four years in which the Republican" party has controlled the Getxsral Government, aud tliatof many of these States, no effort has been made to change this policy, Territories have been created from the National domain and goveru- lacnts for them established and, Spates from tuent admitted t' the Union, in no Instance ia either ot which has tVis trafhs been forbidden, or the people of these Territories or States been pel antted to prohibit. That there are now over jjoo.oOO distilleries, brew' erics, and retail dealers iu these drinks, nol'lmg certificates and claiming the authority of Government for the continuation of a business go destructive to the moral and material weUara of the people, together with the fact that tiicy have turned a deaf ear to remonstrances ud petition tot the correction oi mis aim of civil government, is conclusive that the It-publican party is insensible to, or impotent. the redress of those wrongs. and should longer be entrusted with tho power una rpfUaibilities oi government. rtt ft itnoaga this party us late National ConvuiKn was silent oa tae liquor Ques tion, cot so it candidates, Messrs.
