A GRAND SUCCESS.
REVENGE IS SWEET.
Bat it ia Bitter When You Try 10 Get it
and Kail?A Story of the RepublicanFactional Fight In thle County.
Every man has his likes and dislikes.There are in this county certain politi-
cians of the Republican persuasion, who
have theirs. Not content with carrying
the county their own way at the lastRepublican primary election, they have
lately been trying, in a measure, to wipeout of existence some of those of theirown party who have since pro'estedagainst the means used in carrying cut
the purposes of the ring. Among thosewho refused to bow to the yoke was
Alex. N. Hart, Esq., Alderman of theSecond ward.
Mr. Hart was and is yet a Hastingsman. He believes that the General is thechoice of Republican voters of the county.
He has dared to say so since the delegateelection in January, the arrangements forwhich were made in a suburb of Blairs-ville, some time previous, when thescheme for quietly carrying off this coun-ty for the Crawford statesman was per-fected and the money paid over.
We have nothing to say for one side orthe other, but will state some facts in order that the public may have a view ofthe workings of the Republican State andcounty machine.
Mr. Hart was a candidate for the Al-dermanic nomination in the First ward at
the Republican city primaries. He failedto be nominated. Prominent amongthose who helped to manipulate the coun-ty for Delamater was a present appli-cant for the Johnstown postoffice, and
prominent among those who opposed Mr.Hart's nomination were he and his friends.
Some time ago it turned out that Mr.Hart was appointed Alderman for theSecond ward, the person elected to thatposition having failed to lift his commis-sion. That angered the anti-Hart faction.They made effort to have the commissionrevoked, and for that purpose HenryWilson Storey, Esq., candidate for the
Johnstown postofflce, and Fred W. Coxe,traveling salesman for the Gautier De-partment of the Cambria Iron Company,went to Harnsburg, bearing witli thema remonstrnnce against the continuing ofMr. Hart as Alderman and asking thathis commission be revoked. It is statedthat in going over the Second ward theygot eight signers to the remonstrance.
Just what took place at Attorney Gen-eral W. S. Kirkpatrick's office when thegentlemen presented the remonstrance, isnot known, but this much is certain, Al-derman Hart's Commission still hangs on
the wall in his office, and the parties whoopposed him have the assurance from the
Attorney General that all his official acts
are as legal as those of any other Alder-man.
The whole procedure shows that themethods of the ring Republicans is to
crush every opposing element within theirown party by not allowing anyone whorefuses to do their bidding, to attain anyprominence. In that way they maintaintheir ascendancy.
A CHEMIST'S SUICIDE.
His Companion, Charley O'Connor, Sup-posed to l>e a Girl.
CLEVELAND, June 13.?About threeweeks ago J. A. Vincent, a chemist andpart owner of the Gardner ChemicalWorks, on ludiana avenue, Chicago, cameto this city with a person known as
Charlie O'Connor, on a visit.Vincent was twenty-six years old. His
companion was much younger, of slightgirlish tigure, black curly hair, blue eyes,and a feminine voice.
Sacli Was the Y. M. C. A, Excursion to OhioPjrle Falls Yesterday.
The bright skies yesterday morningwere full of promise for the 800 excur- ?
sionists, who at an early hour were
astir making preparations for the trip toOhio Pyle Falls. The train of two pow-erful engines and fifteen ears moved
out of the city shortly before 8 o clock.It was the largest pleasure party that ever
left the city. The B. &O. authorities areheartily commended forproviding enoughcars to seat every person comfortably.The journey was without any unusual in-
cident. Arrived at the Falls every excurs-
ionist betook himself to making the best ofthe day. None were disappointed at theplace, but many had to wait a little longfor dinner. The hotel was prepared forthe occasion, but the 450 hungry Johns-towners who sought dinner there com-pletely eat the place out. Those who tooktheir baskets were the best off. Tfie train?tarted on the return trip at about 7:30o'clock, arriving here at 11:15 o'clock,bringing back the crowd well satisfiedwith their day's outing.
[Desertion ami Elopement.
On Tuesday Mrs. Maltio Spires, wife ofMr. Wilmore Spires, whose home is onProspect Hill, above the Twelfth ward,eloped with William Woods, a painter,who had been boarding on the South Side.The couple went to Osborne station onTuesday afternoon and took the Somersetand Cambria Railroad. At Rockwoodthey bought tickets for Baltimore. Mrs.Spires leaves behind her two children-agirl aged thirteen and a boy aged sixyears. She had a pleasant home and hadbeen married seventeen years.

ANOTHER MIDNIGHTFIRE ALARM.
A Shanty Burned Down on the South .sideLast N'ght.
Last night at about 12:45 o'clock an
alarm of fire aroused some of our peoplefrom their slumbers. The cause provedto be the burning of a shanty near thecorner of Morris and Diber' streets, SouthSide. It was discovered by Mr. Wm. A.McNulty when on his way home. Thebuilding evidently had been set on fire, asit was unoccupied.
There are a number of such nuisancesabout the place, which with a view topublic safety might be removed.
A few days ago O'Connor went to hishome in Allegheny, Pa., and at noon yes-terday Vincent committed suicide byjumping into a the lake from the bluffwest of this city. Ed Griffith, a boyhoodfriend of Vincent's, who knew him inKansas City, saw lnm when he made thefatal plunge.
Vincent went to Griffith's bouse despon-dent and declared that he would kill him-self. Yesterday morning when Griffitharose Vincent had disappeared, leaving a
note saying he bad g me to drown himselfin the lake.
Hastily following him, Griffith arrivedat the lake shore just in time to see Vin-cent leap from the bluff. The body hasnot been recovered.
Vincent left a letter saying he hadkilled himself because Charlie O'Connorhad gone back on him. Griffith says hethinks O'Connor was a girl, Vincent'sfather is an Episcopal clergyman in Kan-sas City.

COURT PROCEEDINGS.
Regular June Term?(Second Wneli?Thurs-day Forenoon Session.
EBENSBURG, June 12.?Court called at 2o'clock, Judge Krebs on Bencli.
Trial of Philip E. Chapin vs. the Cam-brio Iron Co. resumed. S. S. Blair arguedat length to the Court and jury for thedefendant, reviewing the principal fea-
tures of the testimony and emphasizingthe strong points in favor of the CambriaIron Co.
Mr. Blair was followed by Judge Orbis,of Bellefonte, for the plaintiff. He madea most masterly plea?a brilliant, elo-quent, and ingenious argument for hiscliout.
The Judge then delivered his charge to
the jury, which was in part as follows:The suit is action brought by Philip E.Chapin by which he seeks to recover
from the Cambria Iron .Company moneywhich he alleges to be due him for ser-
vices, beginning the Ist of July. 1881, andending the Ist of January, 1888.
The counsel have argued this case be-fore you very fully and while I will notattempt to comment on all the points pre-sented in evidence, it is your duty to con-
sider every point brought out in evidenceon the witness stand and make up yourverdict after, careful consideration. Iwill divide' this case into two branches,
the second branch including the time be-tween the Ist of January 1884 to Ist ofJanuary 1888. Sometime in 1888 Mr.Cliapin was asked to become GeneralManager of the Cambria Iron Company.That appo'iitmcnt to begin the Ist of January 1884 and to continue indefinitely.By allegation of plaintiff his salary was to
be $12,000 per yeai. The defendant de-nies this, alleging it was only to be $lO,-000 per unnum. While the President ofthe Company has power to make ap-pointments, such appointments are sub-
ject to approval by the Board of Directorsand must be confirmed to be valid. As an
officer of the corporation Mr. Chapinshould have bien familiar with the rulesof the Company and when the Board fixedhis salary at SIO,OOO per annum unless hedissented at the time he would be botiudby that decision. Ifhe accepted and was
paid his monthly wages at the rate ofSIO,OOO per year as his monthly vouchersshow, as a matter of law he can recovernothing more.
The first branch into which I have di-vided this case covers the period Mr.Chapin was employed by the CambriaIron Company as Superintendent of theGautier Steel Works.
Prior to the first of Febrnary, 1881,Mr, Chapin, then living at Cleveland, 0.,was solicited by Mr. D. J. Morrell tooome
to Johnstown to take charge of theGautier Steel Company, limited, statingthat this company would be merged intothe Cambria Iron Company, and that as
Superintendent of tnis department hissalary should be SIO,OOO per annum. Mrs.Chapin also testified that he was to re-
ceive SIO,OOO. He came to Johnstownto .ook .ato the business to determinewhether he would accept the offer or not.
After acquainting himself with the busi-ntss and requirements, he told Mr. Mor-rell that he would_accept the position.He went back to Cleveland and returningtook charge of the Gautier Steel Works,according; to this arrangement, the firstMarch, 1881. TLe fact that negotiations
were pending tor the sale of theGautier Steel Works to the CambriaIron Company, that it became the propertyof that company the first of March, butwas still run as a separate departmentuntil the first of July following is a mat-
ter to be considered by you. The de-fendants deny that there was anyarrangement made by Mr. Morrll to paythe plaintiff SIO,OOO a year. They affirm
that his pay was $7,000 per annum,
monthly for which voucherswere drawn. These different voucherssigned bp Mr. Chapin will help you to
determine what the salary was, but are
not abs#lute. They do not prove con-clusively that was the whole of hissalary ; for according to the testimony ofthe defendants the total of all salaries wasnot paid at Johnstown.
On the question submitted by counsel
for defendant that if the stated salary ofthe plaintiff was $7,000 and that therewas a secret understanding with Mr, Mor-rell by which he was to receive $3,000more from the company, it would be a
fraud to which the plaintiff would be aparty and could not recover, we wouldsubmit to you in this connection what thegeneral practice ot the company was, andif in harmony with that practice they paid
him $7,000 from the Johnstown office and$3,000 from the Philadelphia office itwould not be a fraud.
It is acquiesced in by both sides that in
addition to his salary SSOO was paid liiniat one time, which the defendants claimwas a mere gratuity. It it were a gratuityit could not be construed as evidence thatit was due him on salary, but if it were
shown to be a recognition of the compa-ny's indebtedness to Mr. Chapin for hisservices in addition to his salary then itforms a basis for the plaintiff's claim.
It is also shown that he received SI,OOO
at another time, which is claimed byplaintiff as a recognition of money duehim. On part of defendant it is claimedit was paid for some other reason andcharged up to expense account; but it isalso shown that all salaries are chargedup to expense account. In the absenceof any explanation, the jury will dispose
of the matter as your judgment,based on the evidence presented,
dictates. Another SI,OOO mentionedin the | alleged recognition, theplaintiff claims, was paid him in acknowl-edgement of the excess due him on this$7,000. Gentlemen of the jury, it is foryou take all this testimony, these letters
and vouchers and determine what was
the true relation of plaintiff to the Cam-bria Iron Company. If $7 000 was his
\u25a0 full salary, then he has no claim on the
company. If on the other hand you deter-- mine that his salary according to evidence
1 adduced was SIO,OOO per annum, then he5 would be entitled to the balance of aalary" due him with interest.> Jury was then sworn and returned about
1 sp. M.
New jury was called to box and sworn' to try issue between John Neary, ot Pros-! peet, and Pennsylvania Railroad for tres-
- pass.

One end went intothe cellar, and the kitchen floor was tornup. Itwas a Hughes house, which hadbeen erected shortly after the flood. Thepaper and plastering nearly all came offtlie walls. Mrs. Hayes, the liouse-keeper,was in the house at the time, but escapeduninjured, though much frightened.There was no fire in the house at thetime, or further trouble might have re-
sulted. Some workmen in the cellarmiracuously escaped injury.

AGood Word for tlie (ild Maid*.From the New York Press.
No product of the last decade of tlie
nineteenth century has changed morecompletely than the old maid. Themodern old maul always looks a great
deal younger than she is. This youthful-ness is the uaturul outcome of good health,
a clear conscience ami a kind heart,which are in turn produced by a sys-tematic course of mental and phyicalactivity pursued by her. The niodbrn oldmaid spends the best part of her timeplanning and working for the comfortand happiness of others. The brothers ofthe family adore their old maid sisters.
