The response of Mr. Black to the address ot congratulation was m excellent taste. He promised thst if elected,' which be had every reason to believe he would be, he would admin li the high trust with "personal honor and official integrity." Mr. Black clearly indicated that his campaign is to be all: aggressive one, particularly against the ggn w eonspiraoiea which biyb uro-r i t:-L 1 fc tofore controlled transportation ana- traffic' in Pennsylvania. A significant feature of the demonstration was thei W at &i speech of Mr. A.

Nxw York, August 26. The cars started out early on Broadway, but under strong police protection. No crowd was tolerated anywhere. When car No. 290, of the Broadway line, got down to 44th street, about 9.45 o'clock the strikers and the roughs were watch ing it in a large force, but they were kept moving. The driver of a wagon ob structed a car at a crossing and a mob attacked the car and threw it off the track. A wild soene occurred for a few minutes and thousands of persons in the vicinity were attracted to the spot. Squads of police came down and began some prouisroolSrclubbing. Several arrests were made and a triangular square at the junction of Broadway and 7th avenue was cleared, with the excep tion of crowds that lined the sidewalks on the 7th avenue side. Capt. Killalca came down trom the depot and took charge of the police and soon restored order. Several Broadway - cars came down and passed without molestation, . - while a desperate and angry mob watched for an opportunity to obstruct them. Stones and bricks were hurled at several of the cars at intervals, but no serious injury was done to person and property. : That considerable bad blood was abroad during the night, was indicated by police roturns. Besides fights iand shooting affrays between strikers and "scabs" reperted in the papers, some of which figured in the police courts to- ;";day, five cases of broken heads were -reported, in which unknown assailants escaped. J he nghts all took place on the west side, in the cunp of the strikers. A strong force of police has been station- ped at the 44th street switch, and orders have been issued that it is to be protect ed at all hazards. Capt. Killalea spoke to the police and intimated that if any 'car fails to get through and the officers 'return alive, they might as well resign from the force. The Broadway com pany have evidently no intention to give in to the strikers. : It is feared that unless there is some settlement tonight there will be a gen eral tie-up tomorrow. A gang of strikers have been haunt ing the stables of the Belt line at 23rd I street and ninth avenue all day, spoiling for fights. No oars were run from there today. There were several slight dis turbances, which put the police on guard, who are preserving order., A plot is said to be on foot to blow up the Third avenue railroad depot, but pre cautions have been taken against such an occurrence. : A threatening mob near the stables at 5th street and 7th avenue was quickly dispersed by the police. i lib PnnBylvala PrAblbttlonists.

Cinoihnati, August 26. Allen 0. Myers, managing editor of the En quirer, was arrested this morning at the Enquirer office and locked up on a charge of being a fugitive from justice. The arrest was made by an order of mayor Smith, who is in Columbus and who telegraphed that Myers was wanted there on a charge of perjury and that the warrant and officer wore on the way to Cincinnati. Myers was at the Columbus convention yesterday and swore out a warrant before a magistrate, charging ex-auditor Cappellar, of this city, with bribery in epnnection with his election on the republican State committee yesterday. Myers then left for Cincinnati;. Cappeller was arrested and after being released, caused a war rant to be issued for the arrest of Myers for perjury Comptroller Eshelby, of this city, whose name was also mixed up in the charge of bribery, joined with Cappellar in the affidavit, declar ing that they knew nothing of any bribery. Myers was released on bail about 3 o'clock. A Com prorata. PmsBUKG, August 26. An unex pected change is about. to take place with our manufacturers and nailers. The lockout between them, which lasted thirteen months, has ended in a com promise of 18 cents on a $2 25 card. During the strike the manufacturers' 17 cents oard.whioh they made at Cincinnati was accepted by some of the men in the Wheeling district and the factories were started. .The Pittsburg nailers refused to work on the 17 oents card and did not start till a compromise was reached, which was 18 cents. The manufacturers started up, but when they found that the market could be supplied with nails made for less than they were paying and having to contend with the cutting of prices, they refused orders and one by one shut down their nail factories. The men employed in the factories down the river have resumed at the 17 cent rate, and an effort will be made to have the men accept the same terms here, as the manufacturers claim that the condition ot the trade will not per mit them; to run; and pay the 18 cent Bcale. art Facta About Prise Alxandr.

THE BKMABKABLB DEMONSTRATION IN HlSf FAVOR. . Sofia, August 26. A single regi- ment of troops, with the assistance of a. number of military cadets, accomplished; the work of deposing Prince Alexander.' Before the deposition of the prince the revolutionists arrested the commander of Prince Alexander's regiment, which was at Slivnitia. The provisional gov-' eminent, seeing that the people were loyal to the deposed prince, resigned office and liberated the commander, who at once brought his regiment from Sliv nitia and disarmed the regiment whioh had assisted in deposing Prince Alex- A ander.' After this the commander placed under arrest - the political leaders who had managed the coup d etat. The powers have recognized the government formed by Karaveloff, with him as premier, Stdrloff as foreign minister, Panofen as minister of war and Queshotl' as minister of finance. .This provisional government has assured the Porte that the movement in favor of rrince Alext ander is not inimical to Turkey and has asked the 1 orte to reopen the railway between Constantinople and Phillips polis.

A special dis patch from Fort Worth says : On the farm of W . rv. uandy, near tms city, August 8th, a rabid dog bit Walter Gandy, four years old, on the face. Several of the animal's teeth entered the flesh in the cheeks, above the eyes. The little boy did not suffer from laceration, but his parents at once took him to Denton, where a mad stone was applied. It would not adhere and it was said no virus had entered the system. Not satisfied, ' the father took the boy to Mam-field, where a second mtdstone was applied. It also refused to adhere. Saturday the little fellow said his throat was sore and refused to eat. He would cry when water was brought near him and soon became freniied. Physicians went out from Fort Worth and exhausted their skill, but the boy i l r ' L j grew worse, ana greenisn ioam tssuea from the mouth His piteous cries and contortions! : were simply horrible. A little playmate come to see him yester day and Walter snapped at him, biting him slightly in the face. Physicians fear that this boy has also been innccul&ttd .with the poison. Last evening the sufferer became quiet for, a while and slept for a few moments;' f . He awoke with a tremor, barked like a dog, bent himself nearly double, . gnashed his teeth, blood and foam I gushed from his mouth and he was dead. Mrs Gandy, , the mother of the boy, is prostrated with grief. It is feared that she will die from the shook. J A Collision. CoLUMBCa, August 26.

For years the English and French controlled the manufacture of hairpins. and it is Only within the last twenty years that the goods have been-, tiro duced in ; this country to any extent. The machinery used is of a delwate and intricate character, as the prices at whioh nins are sold necessitates ; the most rapid and cheapest process, which can only be secured Dy auiomaucjina ohines. 1 The wire is made expressly for the purpose and put up in large cbils, which are placed on reels, ana tne? en a of the wire is placed in a clamp which carries it te the machine while straight ening it; from there it runs in another machine, which cuts, bends, and.fby a delicate and instantaneous process, sharpens the points. Running .at full speed, these machines will turn out 120 hairpins every minute. To eoonom'ze it is necessary to kee; them working night and day. The difficult part of the work is the enameling, wmcn is acme oy dipping in a preparation and baking in an oven. Here is where the most con stant and careful attention is sequired, as the pin must be perfectly smooth and the enamel have a perfect polish. The slightest particles of dust cause im perfections and a rougnness wmcn is od- jeoti0nable. Ho Brobo It Gent!.

Recent articles in the Niws and Obskrver on the subject of Raleigh's water-works, together with the frequent inquiries which are addressed to mem' bers of the board of aldermen, give the impression that there is anxiety among the citizens of the city lest the water wbich is to be introduced into the city shall be dangerously contaminated with sewage, loaded with earthy matters in suspension or in some ether way he im pure and unfit lor general use. The writer, therefore, takes this op portunity to say that the committee on water-works fully appreciates the great importance of the city s having a source and method of supply whioh shall be capable of furnishing an abundance of water at all times, ot a quality. fit not only for the purposes of street sprinkling and fire service, but suitable for drinking, for culinary uses, for boilers and for every other purpose to which good watT is adapted. With regard to the filtration of the water before being delivered to the town, of which a good deal has been said and written, it is undoubtedly a fact that should, finally, a source of supply be settled upon of which the water needs to be filtered, that it should be filtered; but the position is taken for granted, as needing no argument for its support, that it is better, other tilings being equal, to obtain water whioh from the outset has no need of being filtered. If, however, a source is adopted the water of which is at present pure, but which, with the growth of the country and the increase of population, is liable to be come impure, the city will be certain to so protect itself in the contract that at such a time filtration or other means shall be adopted to render the water fit for all uses. It would certainly be mistake financially to inaist upon the in troduction and . use of a filtering plant when there is no real need of it for years to come. This would increase first cost and add -considerably to the a .1 running expenses. And the expenses of the water company are to be consid ered by the city, both in its position an ultimate purchaser and as a presert consumer; for a oompany is justified in expecting a reasonable return on its in vestment and, beyond a certain amount, every increase of cost to it means in crease of hydrant rental or water rates, or defective construction and operation of the works. If filtration is needed the special method Jto be adopted depends upon many factors; such as the character of the impurities, the cost and availability of the materials to be used and the ex penses of construction and maintenance. A filtering system which is or is not ef fective with Wilmington water may not or may be effective here. The Hyatt fil'er has much to recommend it, but the instance of its having been recom mended for use in connection with the purifying of the Washington supply? where thirty millions of gallons are used daily and where the water is taken from a large river contaminated by sew age and ' the washings from an exten sive, highly cultivated and thickly pop ulated area, does not necessarily prove that it would be the most advantageous system to introduce here for purifying the water from all or any of the possible sources. If filtration is needed the city will certainly take care to assure itself before the contract is closed, both by a careful examination of the water and by a consideration of any j form of filter proposed, whether Buoh filter is fully calculated to meet the requirements. ' In considering the different bids which have been tendered, the committee was fully impressed with the sense of the responsibility of their position and gave two weeks to the discussion and thought ful consideration of the different propo sitions. : The position to be taken in the matter seems a clear one, i e., to secure a continuous and adequate supply of good water at the least cost compatible with these conditions. Mr. Green's of fer apparently fulfils the requirements and, therefore, it was recommended that he should be awarded the contract. The duty now remains to see that he is able to and does carry oat all that he pro poses. ; ' To ground water itself no objection can be raised, provided it is uncontami nated. Leipsio, Dresden, Halle and other cities abroad and in this country use ground water largely. Drivea wells have been i used in America with varying success. ! "At Lynn, Mass., over 600,000 gallons ! were obtained from 28 one and a half inch and one six inch well; at Newark, N. J", nearly three million gallons per day from sixty three-inch wells.and Brookivn,N. Y., obtains some 12,uuy,uuu gallons per day rrom two gangs of suoh wells, in different locali ties, each of 100 wells within an area of less than half an acre. Still the committee recognizes it as a fact that the emenence in other localities With 7 . . .... ... this system of water supply will furnish nd accurate measure of what is to be ex- p:cted here, and, therefore, without particularizing, they will not fail, be fore awarding any contract,-to take full steps; to assure themselves both of the present purity of the water, of the ab sence of anv anf avenues of contamina tion, and of the sufficiency of the supply, and will certainly make such provision in the contract that the city will be m no danger of suffering from any unexpec ted failure of this eourco. In conclusion it is to be said that the committee, being fully alive to the re sponsibility resting upon it and its mem bers having no personal interest in any - , , , k ui PW"?3if wST& there is every reason to expect that the boat results will flow from their labors.
