NO THIRD TICKET
Will be Put Out by llio Democrats of
N cw York
A pubBshedinteiv ew Tuesday ex-May
or William It. Grace, of New York oitv,
quotes that gentlemau as saying: “While
1 believe that the nomination of the third
ticket in the city of New York would
bring out a large democratic vote, and
consequently be favorble to the national
ticket, yet seeing the opposition which
is being manifested by many good dem¬
ocrats who differ from me in my opinion,
I have come to the conclusion that it
would be better to put no third ticket
in the field.”

They are Charged with Treason. The
Affair causes a Sensation.
A great sensation was created at
Homestead, Pa., Fiiday night by the
arrest of a number of members of the
advisory committee, of the Homestead
strikers, for treason. Those arrested
were Chairman Thomas J. Crawford,
William Baird; George Bylaud, John
Dierken and T. W. Brown. The ar
rtst came like a thunderbolt to the strik¬
ers, they were so suddenly made and so
unexpected. The prisoners were chat¬
ting at the stnet corner-, when they
were taken. The officers were Detec¬
tives Mills and Fowl and deputies
Young, It Brady, Delvin, Krept and Ward.
was late in the afternoon when I he
warrants based on information of Chief
Justice Paxsou, reached Homestead and
were placed in the hands of officers to
serve. They started out at 9 o’clock,
and first caught Crawford and Dierken,
who were hurried to the provost guards
tents. The others were caught in quick
succession, before the strikers had time
to realize what was happening.
As the prisoners were speeded to and the
prison tents, an alarm was taken
many strikers hastened toward tho guard,
but were held back and denied all infor¬
mation. Indeed, some of the prisoners
did not know why they were aircstcd un¬
til safe behind the bayonets of the sol¬
diers. It was intended first to keep the
prisoner all night nud Hunt for others,
but through fear of an attempt at rescue
they were taken to the city farm station,
placed on a train and hurried to Pitts¬
burg at 11 o’clock and landed in jail.

thernoon before Chief Justice Person, of
the supreme court of Pennsylvania, The
petition charges Hugh O’Donnell, Thom¬
as J. Crawford, John McLuckie and thir¬
ty others, all members of the strikers’ nd
visiry committee, with treason. It
states that the defendants, who are in
habitnnts and residents of the common¬
wealth of Pennsylvania, did arrange, pre¬
pare and levy w r against the con m-n
wealtti of Pennsylvania, to tho end that
the constitution, law and auihoritv were
d' fii d, resisted and subverted, and that
said defendants on July 1st, with hun¬
dreds of others, armed and arrayed in a
warlike manner, that is to say, with guns
revolvers, cannons, sw'ords, knives and
clubs, did unlawfully, maliciously and
traitorously assemble together in the bor¬
ough of Ilomrsti ad in the commonwealth
ol Pennsylvania and then and there with
force and mms did falsely and traitor¬
ously and in a hostile and warlike man¬

rebellion to the common wealth of Penn¬

ance aud fidelity < f said defendants.
Chief Justice Paxsou at once accused pushed
ihe warrants for the arre st of the
and officers were dispatched by the sher¬
iff to Homestead to serve them. The ac¬
tion of ibe county authorities was entire¬
ly unexpected and carried consternation
into the camp i f the strikers. This is
the first time in the history of the state
that any resident has been charged with
treason against the commonwealth, and
the entrance of the cases will be watched

formerly death, is twelve years impris¬

COMPLAIN OF DISCRIMINATION
Third Party Delegates to Omaha After
The Railroads.
A Washington special of Tuesday says:
“A, complaint of unjust discrimination
xn passenger rates has just been li 1 d
with the inter-state commerce commis¬
sion. The complainant in th; cise U
Thomas V. Cator, of 9« Francisco. Th •
defendants are the Southern Pin'ifiz
Company, and the Union Pacific Rail
roa i Company. The complainant and D alleges
that when the Republican held m cr in t
ic national conventions were
June last, at Minneapolis and Chicago,
respectively, delegites from the state of
California, were carried over the railways
of defendants from San Francisco and
other points at anagreid reduced rate,
amounting to about one half of 'lie reg
ular tates charged for travel fr m Stn
Francisco to Omaha. When, in July
last, the people’s party held their con
veution at Omaha, to nominate candi¬
dates L r the presidency and viee-prisi
dency, and delegates from California to
the Omaha convention applied to tin
same line of railways for the same rates
that had been grauted to the republican
and democratic delegates from Cali¬
fornia, they were refused any reduc¬
tion whatever, and where charged and
compelle 1 to pay the usual and full rates,
about double the sum ch .rged the dem¬
ocratic and republic m delegates, over
the same railway aud the same points.
It is also alleded that the number of
delegates from California to the Omaha
convention was greater than was carried
by the defendant companies to either the
republican or the democratic convention.

THE DALTON GANG KILLED.

Citizens Were Warned and Were Pre¬
pared for the Robbers.
A special from the town of Coffey villi*,
Kansas, states that the Dalton gang has
been exterminated—wiped off the face of
the earth. Caught like rats in a trap,
they were, Wedue day, shot down like
dogs; but not unt.il f air citizens of the
place yielded up their lives in the work
of extermination.
Six of the gang rode iuto town in the
morning and robbed the two binks of
hits to escape they were at¬
tacked by the marshal’s posse. In t he
buttle which ensued four of the despera¬
does were killed oiitriijhf, and one was so
badly wounded that he has since died.
The other escaped, but is being hotly
pursued. Of the attacking party, four
seriously were killed, one was fatally and two were
woundid. The dead are:
Bob Dalton, Grant Daltou, Emmet
Dalton, Joseph Evans, Jobn Moore,, alias
“Texas Jack,” T. C. Connolly, city
marshal, L. M. Baldwin, bank clerk,
G. W. C'ubine, merchant, C. J. Brown,
shoemaker. Thomas G. Mays, cashier of
the first National bank, was fatally
wounded. T. A. Reynolds and two other
citizens were seriously wounded.
It hid been rumored a month ago that
the D dton gang was contemplating an
immediate raid upon the banks of the
ciiy. Arrangements were made to give
them a warm reception.
BUISIED LIKE D Q9.
A special from Colley ville, Kan., says
the streets were packed Thursday with
crowds of excited people from all parts
of that section, aitracted by the terrible
Dalton tragedy of Wednesday. On stood ev¬
ery street corner, iu every alley
groups of citizens eagerly discussing the
attempted bank robberies of the day be¬
fore with the attendant tragic results.
At the city jail an awning was impro¬
vised, under which was laid the lour
dead bandits in coffins provided by the
county, with a guard to see that they
were not disturbed.
Among the thousands who viewed the
bodies were many who had known the
Daltons for years and while their crimes
deserve to place them beyond the pale of
sympathy, there were to be found people
who could scarcely suppress a sigh of re¬
gret fur the fate of the dead men.
Emmet Dalton, who sill lives, though
desperately wounded, lies in a ro m at the
jail, and his room is at all times surroun¬
ded by a crowd of men and women who
do their utmost to pursuade the guard to
let them pa-s up to the presence of the
wounded man. All sorts of reasons are
advanced by these people for their re¬
quest, but itd without exception they are
not com pi with.
EMMET DALTON’S STOBY.
Through the courte y of Sheriff Calla¬
han, a reporter was allowed to enter the
room. Emmet was weak from the loss
of blood, ane talked little. He said:
“I met the boys Saturday near Tulsa
and in the course of their talk, they
asked me how much motiey I had. I
replied $20. They S lid they had $900
and then told mo of their plan to rob
lioth banks of C wanted iffeyville in one Jesse day.
Rob said he to lower
James’record. I tried to perm ide him
not to try it, but did not succeed, as he
had a grudg; against the town, and
wanted revenge for what be had heard
people here were saying and trying to do
about us.
“I hid no money to leave the country
on and I did not think I could get away
if we came. I finally consented. We'
knew the lay of the land thoroughly, and
it was agreed that Bob and I should take
the First National and the other three
boys Condon’s bank. B ,b thought he and
I were better than any s ; x of the others
and knowing the First National to be
the hardest to roll wo selected that and
assigned Condon’s to the others.”
Emmet stated that he was an own
cousin of the Younger brotheis and until
he knew that the other boys were dead,
lie refused to say anything, but when
their dead bodies were carried up to him
for inspection, he identified them as
Bob and Grattan Dalton, Tom Evans and
Jack Moore. He shed tears as he gazed
on his dead brothers, The nanus he
gave to the two latter men are not the
names they were know by in that sec
lion but they are not their real names.

The hypophosphites of
lime and soda combined with
cod-liver oil in Scott’s Emul¬
sion improve the appetite,
promote digestion, and in¬
crease the weight.
They are thought by some
to be food; but this is not
proved. They are tonics;
this is admitted by all.
Cod-liver oil is mainly a
food, but also a tonic.
In Scott’s Emulsion the
cod-liver oil and hypophos
phifes are so combined as to
get the full advantage of both.
