BRICK IN HOT WATER-
The Ohtb Democrats In Opposition to
Him Are Fighting Hard.
Columbus. O.. Sept. IS^-The adher-
c-r.te of Senator Brice win COI \‘™ l th “
Democratic state convention tomorrow
by two to tons. This much is certain.
But the opposition to the junior senator,
nnd which is baaed on his antt-adintnto
trjtion oourae In the recent tariff con
test. is compact, aggressive and under
good -leaderuhip. and because It U out-
nuxribered it does not follow that it w
accept the peace and haim.my pro-
Ki-amme of the Brice followers wl'.nout
putting Itself on record. Much depends
upon the action of the committee on
resolutions, which went into comerence
at 9 o'clDck with every prospect afnn
ull-night seas Ion. If the representative
of the senator upon thin committee will
agree on a resolution urrquillfleuly Jh*
tlorsin? President Cleveland, together
with the administration tariff bill, and
expressing regret that It. had to give
way tb the senate substitute, the oppo-
uitlon 'will 'be content: otherwise, ac
cording to the present programme,there
will b: r. minority re rvr * rt ,n which the
-w..-aw. „ ~ ~ jd4ed with
out gloves, and a fight will be precipi
tated on the floor of the convention.
In thi* event, say the minority; ruany
of those now counted ae among the
senator’* supporters* will put themselves
on record with the other side.
In n .political sense. It has bee \>ne of
the hottest dnya that ever preceded a
date gathering o1 the Ohio Dem'ocnicy.
The making of a tlciket has been entire
ly lost sight of, and. contrary to nil
precedent, not a single candidate lor
any of the places to be filled has opened
headquarters. Excitement nnd nctlylty
alike are concentrated upon the elev
enth hour attack upon the Junior sena
tor. His opponents were final on the
field, but hU friends were close at their
heels. Pstmasters. special treasury
agents, bank examiners, collectors of
internal revnuo and other officials came
pouring in from all quarters of the
state. vCol. Ike Hill, doorkeeper of the
national hcu<e bf representatives, and
B.~ W. Layton, assistant sergeant-at-
arms of the United States senate, were
early on hand to assure all comers that
llic liiiutKaiii^iti to tJi«» BcitaUir wan
merely “a flash In the pan.” Veteran
Democrats who have not been at con
ventions In years put In nn appearance
to "give Cal. Brice a lift," as most of
them out It: still there were enough
Democratic senators and representa
tives of the general assembly that elect
ed Mr. Brice to the senate to make a
good sized reunion.
'Newly arriving delegates regarded
«s "on the fence" were taken In hand
by committee* from AWtonco, Cuya
hoga «md other strong arvtl-Brlce dis
tricts and trcutiU *to urgumeffi ond per-,
sir.islon to afopatihlc doses. The prln-"

the adrrti’nloration and the 'wrlff bill
w«rv» eivtltlnd to MontAimm) If tijo
previous dooharadons of ifhe Ohio Del

fsenkstor Brice was in obx:ruotlonist;
; Kwt hU course in thr «o.r.Uv iun cre

m state ‘Phat Uhe opposhion to Brice
came from the people und was an ef
fort of the rank and file to discipline
yhe bosses and assert control, utnd that
kwss far better to hove the fight over
and done -wlt’a now than to carry u
♦nto ne»t ye.tr when She party would
toave a gubernatonlil and 'oegMuttvo
t\if*vL on Ita (hands.
These arguments were effective In many
cases, and when Congreeaman Tom L.
Johnson, fresh from his renominating con-
ventton, <.iame marching at the bead of a
big delegation from his home district, it
locked as though there would ben stam
pede from the senator’s banner. But
his friends were not only staunch and
numerous, but influential to boot, and
they had little difficulty In keeping tne
main lln.»s ot their forces well m hand.
Tonight the antis have given up all
hope of controlling the convention and will
be content tf they succeed In forcing an
expression of their opinions npon the
record. Abo it the coolest man of the
crowd that besieged ttie Neill house in
andout. was senator Brice himself, lie
arrived from the fcX&st shortly before 4
o’clock and established headquarters in
the parlor from which Sherman conducted
his last and most memorable senatorial
campaign. Here, he was in to all comere,
but he eediuously avoided alt reference to
the tight against him.
The nntl-Rrice element was considerably
chagrined at the attitude of Lawrence T.
Neal of CM Hi™ the, the party nominee
for governor last fall, and who was the
author of the famous tariff plank In the
platform of the last national convention
ami who was looked upon aa one of their
strongest allies. Instead of this, he took
occasion early in the day to express the
opinion that the senate bill was a step In
the right direction, and that no one who
voted for it should be condemned.

.Washington, Sept. 18.—Supervising
Architect O'Hourlto occupied his desk
this morning In the treasury depart
ment, as usual, as it lt'.s resignation had
not been asked for. Officials ond others
cn business came and went, and- be
tween these visits O'Rourke tilled in
his time In drafting his letter of resig
nation.
“Of course I will resign,” said Mr.
O'Rourke; "if not today, within a few
days. Until I do, 1 have nothing to
say.”
Tlio matter oreated a sensation m the
treasury department and was a lively
topic of conversation. It was not, how
ever, a surprise to those who arc iu the
confidence o< h'.ith officials, but came
us it bomb to the clerks In the burraii.
who did not know the strained relations
be.tween tho architect und his Imme
diate uubordiimie officials. These dis
turbed relations began six months ago.
and nt that time It was expected that
the event that happened yesterday
would then occur.
My. Kemper, the chief clerk, wrote
a letter to Secretary Carlisle at a
o'clock yesterday aflerftoon, lu which
he stated Uiat the relations existing be
tween himself and the architect had
come to such a point that he would
either have to protect himself person
ally ugainst what he considered insults
or else to sever his connection with the
office lu case Architect O’Rourke was
to remain. Prior to this friction hail
occurred between the contract clerk,
Judge Fleming uud the supervising
architect. This matter hud been
brought to the attention of Secretory
Carlisle. Upon receiving the letter of
Mr. Kemper. Secretary Carlisle, at 4
o’clock yesterday, demanded the imme
diate resignation of Mr. ORourke. This
morning Secretary Carlisle received a
letter front Architect O'Rourke, in
which he utates that he had received
the demand for h.s resignation with
•'auinxeuieut.” He recalled the slate-
tnenl, which he said the secretary hail
made to him early In his administra
tion. that should any charges be made
nga.ust him, as was not unusual In
oue occupying thnt position, he would
bg given an opportunity to mis>t these
charges before any action was tunou by
the lu-nil of the depnrtmcut. This, ho
alleges, has not been done. '■
Mr. O’Rourke further states that he
has . known for several months that a
conspiracy existed in his own office to
br.ug about his downfall, anil de
nounces the conspiracy In strong lan
guage.
Secretary Carlisle replied within a
few minutes after receiving tins letter
this morning that for many months he
had known thnt the arcitect's <>mcc was
In. a demoralized condition, bat he r.nd
hoped order would be brought out of
the apparent chaos. Instead ot im
provement, however, the other has been
going from Imd to worse, until he telt
impelled to take tho action he tutu,
which had not been done, however,
without much hesitation und a earetul
consideration of all the circumstances
lending to It.
Secreta-rjr Carlisle asked Mr.
O'Rourke «Krt If to* bad ony evidence
of a conspiracy existing to his office
or lu the department against himself
to submit thult evidence 'to him and he
would 4nvesF.ira.te 4t and mete out pun
tohmemt to fihe guilty parties.
This letter was delivered to Mr.
O'Rourke sit about 11 o'clock tj-lay and
Mr. O'Rourke then begin the prepara
tion of toll tester of resignation, in
Which he will detail, It Is said, the facts
of -.he alleged conspiracy against hhn,
giving numes and ttat-a. Thus tho mat

florin. Mo., Sept. 18.—The Colorado
and Utah express, west-bound, ou the
Santa Fc railroad, was held up by rob
in rs at 3:20 jy'clock this morning near
Gorin. The plot to rob was formed
three weeks ago, aud for two weeks
the railroad people have had a spy ou
tho robbers' camp, wbo has kept tho
company completely informed of the
luteuiled movements of the robbers.
Two previous dates were fixed for the
event, but heavy rain on the appointed
days postponed It because of the easo
with which horses could bo tracked lu
the soft ground.
Auother date was set for today and,
the couditlous being favorable, the at
tempt was made. Tho railroad, as
usual, had twenty-four hours’ notice
and the train was well loaded with men
artueu witu short Yt'iucuester rtuto.
The information of the spy was accu
rate aud at the appointed place, one
tuile nest of Uotiu, ,t railroad torpedo
exploded under the wheels of the en
gine, a red light flashed ahead aud tlio
tram stopped. Immediately lout-
masked nieu came from the brush, one
rushed to the engine, ordered the en
gineer to hold up his hauda nud llred
at him with a Winchester at the same
moment. The engineer fell, wounded,
nud a detective on the tender Bred a
load of buckshot Into the robber’s face
before he^iad time to change his pos.-
tlon. He got away for the time being,
but was caught later aud will probably
die of his wounds.
The tiring fit the engineer brought a
fusllade from the armed men concealed
on the express, baggage uud smoking
cars, which was rtriurued with a few
shots from the robbers, who then made
off as (tuiekly ns they could, cutting
the hltchlug straps of their horses lu
their haste. One horse was killed by
the detectives, but all of tlio robbers
escaped for a time.
All of the parties to tho plot are
known nnd all will undoubtedly lie
captured. A ptiek of bloodhounds was
in readluess at Curia amt they took up
the trail bufore daylight. No better
place In the country could have been
selected for tlie location of llic robucry
und it would have undoubtedly been
successful If the railroad people bad
not Ih-cii advised of what was Intended.
The passengers could have safely been
robbed as well as the mall anil express
cars. Four men nude tho uttempt on
the train, but two or three others seem
to have bean with the liorscs and stn
Honed behind the train to prevent any
body reaching Gorin on foot after tho
train waa-halted.

HIGHEST MEDAL
awarded to
Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder
The highest award was given on every claim, comprising
superiority in leavening power, keeping properties, purity and
excellence. This verdict has been given by the best jury
ever assembled for such a purpose, backed by the recommend
ation of the Chief Chemist of the United States Department
of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., who made an elabor
ate examination and test of all the baking powders. This
is pre-eminently tho highest authority on such matters in
America.
This verdict conclusively seitles the question and
proves that Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder is
superior in every way to any other brand.
Note.—The Chief Chemist rejected the Alum baking powders, stating
to the World’s Fair jury that he considered them unwholesome.
There appears to be no doubt about
his being In the custody at Gne'MexIcnn
