The Lancaster watch factory closed its doers last evening, and when the empleyes went te work this morning they found r.ctices en the doers that the factory would net he opened, and that they would be paid in advance of the usual pay-day, as .scen as the pay-rolls could be made up. The closing of the works is said te be due te the financial embarrassment of Mr. A. Bitncr, the heaviest stockholder in the einpany, and the serious illness of his hi ether, Mr. C. A. Bitner, who is the second heaviest stockholder. Yesterday morning Mr. A. Bitncr made an assign ny nt of hi.-; property for the benefit of his crediteis, as stated in yesterday's Intel Intel i.ieKNcr.n In the afternoon a meeting of the stockholders was held, and after full discussion it wan deemed advisable te close the works. The company employs about 250 hands, and the monthly pay roll aver ages about $8,000. All these hands are thrown out of employment, oxcept a few inspectors and skilled workmen who will be retained te finish up the watches already under way. We learn from a reliable source, that the " plant" of the Lancaster watch com I any, though net the largest, is the most cjmpiute in the United States, and that the watches manufactured are the best in the United States or the world. But the company is a young one, and its manufac tares are net se well known as these of elder factories, hence the company has "d -n at disadvantage in competing with eV.cr rivals. Its capital has been absorbed i-j the erection and equipment of the fac t.Miy and the manufacture of great number ii watches for which there has net been a tcady sale this market being dull during the past year, net only here but all ever the ceuntiy. The capital stock of the company is $228,000. held by 13 htockhelders, several of whom have invested in it as much of their fortune as they feel warranted in doing, and it will lequire $50,000.er $100, 000 mere te set the factory fairly en its feet and liberally advorlise its manufactures. Whether this additional sum will be raised depends en the capitalists if Lancaster. If it is net, the plant will probably be ip moved te sonic mero appreciative city. Anether meeting of the stockholders war. held this morning, but uoVlcfiuite pol icy was agreed upon as te future action. LITTLE LOCALS. Here and There and Kverywliere.

Seme time during Tuesday night burg lars broke into the stere room of Danner & Fex, in the borough of Manheim and robbed it of $GC0 worth et goods. An ou eu ou tiance was effected through a second story window, the burglars climbing in above the awning. They entered Mr. Danuer's sleeping rcem which communicates with the stere, and approaching his bed took his pocket-book from his pecket, robbed it of about $7 in money which it contained, and replaced the pocket-book, with some valuable papers, iu the pocket from which they had taken it. They then rppear te have descended te the stoic i oeru, and stele from the shelves nearly a dozen piecrs of silk and some ether valu able goods. They broke a show-case and stele therefrem, all the watches, jewelry, silver and plated ware that was in it. There wcre about a dezan watches in the case, all of which were taken except one which the thieves dropped and which was found lying upon the fleer. The burglars broke into the blacksmith shop of Mr. Gipple, near by, arid stele therefrem a large chisel, eighteen inches long and some ether tools, used te break into 'the premises and force open the show case. These tools they left behind them. Thus far theie has been no clue te the thieves. ballooning at telcukstkb. interview Wltli an Old Lancaster Aeronaut We had the pleasure of a conversation with our old townsman. Prof. Charles E. Wise, te-day, and elicited the following interesting information from him : He has been at a summer resort below Baltimore called "Tolchester Beach,"inKent county, Md.,a Sunday school picnic ground, and an absolute temperance place, comprising a wharf landing and two houses, with a rich agricultural country surrounding. He has been there for seven weeks and in that time has pnt up an apparatus for the manufacture of hydrogen gag comprising three tanks, one of which holds 4,000 gallon?, the ether two 2,000 apiece, ana nas uccompesea 32,UUU gallons of water by the additkmef 200 carboys of vitrel, weighing en an average 170 pounds each, 17 teDs iron turning;:, and from the product made 150,000 feet of hydrogene gas. He has made ever 100 ascensions 1,000 feet high at the end of a rope ; taken up people from all parts of the country and made two free ascensions, the last of which was made en last Wednesday by his son Jehn, the youngest aeronaut in Amer ica, and Mr. Geerge Elliett, of Baltimore, aged 78 yearp, the eldest man that ever went up in a balloon fn the history of the world their ages combined being 100 years, and by a singular coincidence that being the exact age of the aeronautical science. Ihey were accompanied by Mr. Anten Dup'rez, an ambitious young man of high flying proclivities. The start was made promptly at five o'clock, the wind being due south, which would take them direct down the bay. There was almost a dead caim, and the ascent was superb, the hand playing "Nearer My Ged te Thee,"the plaudits of the multitude, and the majestic flight of the aerial craft was semething unique in that vast watered and weeded wilderness. Being far from where such scenes are gen erally enacted, it left an impression which will never be forgotten. The huge craft gradually mounted skyward until it had attained an elevation of 12,584 feet, and a temperature of 34P, when the aeronauts thought they had better leek for a safe landing. A view taken at this time cm braced Baltimore, Annapolis, Wilmington, the Delaware and Chesapeake bays, with all the islands, inlets and projecting shores for a space of 100 miles around. They landed 40 miles from the starting en a place known as Kent's island. Al together the professor assures us it has been the most successful ballooning that has ever taken place here or in Europe and that the company that has him engaged has never stepped at any expense te make everything safe and successful.

WEDNESDAY BVKNING, AUG. 1. 1833. STATE CONVENTION. i: PRELIMINARY WOKK OF THE DAT, McGrann of Lancaster, Prominent at S p. va. for State Treaaarer A Larce and Orderly Convention R. E. Wngnt, el Northampton. Temporary Chairman The Hesult Un certain, pecial Dispatch te the Istkluekscer. Harbisbube, Amc. 1. Precisely at 10 o'clock Chairman Heesel called tbe con vention te order and read the list of pre liminary officers agreed en by the state committee at its meeting last night. He invoked the forbearance of the convention in the matter of inaccuracies in the pre liminary work and ordered the roll call te proceed. When Wyoming county was reached the delegates offered te substitute L. W. Buck, of "Bradford county. Chair man Hensel asked if Mr. Buck lived in Wyoming, and receiving a negative ans wer, decided that no substitute oeuld be made unless he resided in the district rep resented by the absent delegate Senater Hemer J. Humes, at the conclusion of the roll call, nominated R. E. Wright, jr., of Allentown, for temporary chairman. R.E. James, of Northampton, moved that he be elected by acclamation, which was agreed te. The chair named Senater Humes and Jue. H. Few te conduct the temporary chairman te the chair, and en assuming the gavel Mr. Wright made a ringing speech. The preliminary officers were continued during the temporary organization. Preliminary Werk. Senater Biddis moved that the rules of the Pennsylvania Heuso of Representa tives govern the convention, which was agreed te and Senater Hess moved that committees en credentials, organization and resolutions be named and that all resolutions be referred te the committce en resolutions without debate, which was likewise adopted. A motion te take a re cess was amended, making the hour of reassembling at one p. m. The amend ment was rejected by a division vete of 175 te 178, and the original motion agreed te. lUcQrann l'romlneutfor State Treasurer. There is no certainty as te the result of the afternoon session. The treasury nomi nation lies between Powell, MacRcyneldr. and McGrann. There seems te be a drift in favor of Powell new, but the least swerve is likely te divert it te McGrann, and the indications point te that result. Wliltman nnd Itlcler Lcadluc for Auditor tieneral. Fer auditor general Turuy is out of the field and the issue seems te lie between Whitman, of Eric, and Bigler, of Clear Geld. Bigler is here and says he "doesu't want it," and Whitman is away and doesn't want it, lmt there are point ers that indicate that ene or tbe otber will ba chosen. A boom was started for Stranahan, of Mercer, but his iccenl en thn liquor question seems te intcrfcre te his injury. It is almost certain that the convention will declare against sumptuary laws and Stranahan's record in the Lcgis Lcgis ture and ent of it would ceme in eer.llieL with such a platform. The ltesult Uncertain. Nobody ha3 the convention at this time, and this afternoon will show a frce for all contest that will be as fair as it premises te preve uncertain. TlIK CONVENTION. (letting In Order all A n:1n.1 Associated Press. Haiuusbukcs, Aug. 1. Theia is appar ently mero interest taken in the Demo cratic convention than at the one held by the Republicans last month . There is :. large attendance, due te the fact thai tin number of delegates is much larger than in previous conventions. The Convention Assembled The convention assembled at 10:15 and was called te order by Chairman Ilensi I in a few remarks. The list of delegate-! was called and for the firfct time iu many years no contested seats were announced. It. K. Wright, et Lbblgti County, . e rneraiy Cbuirniitn. Rebert O. Wright, of Lehigh ceuuty, was chosen temporary chairman by ac clamatien, together with the necessary officers for the transaction of the pre liminary business. Aiter bein: conducted te the chair and retuininjr his thanks for the honor conferred, Mr. Wright stated that this was the first time in a quarto - or a century that a Democratic) convention m t when all the state officers, with but u sia gle exception, were filled by Democrats. lie further said that all the premises of reform made ptcbumably by the party Iiail been faithfully cairicd out. He paid a high tribute te the governor, alluding te him a3 ' supeib executive. The speech was received with centiuued applauru A resolution that the committee of creden tials, permanent organization and resolu tions consist of ene delegate fiem each congressional district, te be named by the delegates, was adopted and the ctmvcv tien adjourned until 2 o'clock. A Harmonious Convention. The convention is very harmonious .'.ml indications point te the transaction et the business with dispatch. Rebert E Jarae?, of Northampton, wl.l likely be selected as permanent chairman The Platform. The committee en resolutions pie.cut- :1 the following report, which was unani meusly adopted as the platform. The Democracy of Pennsylvania, tii! tothe fundamedtal faith of their party, rea : sert their belief iu a strict construction and rigid enforcement of the federal constitu tion. They upheld the sanctity of pcrFen al liberty, the security of private ptep?rty and the rights of local self government. They believe in that genuine anl deep reaching civil service reform, which consists in the election te effice ei' honest, intelligent, capable and ceur ageeus public servants, who will faithfully administer their trust, and who will be held te strict accountability for such a discharge of it, am! who will redeem and purge the de partments of the general government from that corruption and fraud with which they have been permeated under Republi can rule and which that party has she irn itself unable and unwilling te eradicate They believe iu such taxation of the pne pie as is requislte for the necessities of the government economically administer cd.and that import duties should ba se ad justed in their application as te prevent unequal burdens, 'encourage productive industries at home and afford just com pensation te labor, but net te create or fester moneplies. They denounce the preposition of the Ue pablican party, that the people should te taxed te raise a surplus fund for the federal government te distribute among the states. The psople should only be taxed se much as is absolutely indispensable for the frugal conduct of their affairs ; net one cent for surplus and no unnecessary taxation. The existing surplus in the treasury should be faithfully applied te the payment of the public debt. The money net needed for the expeuses of the government should remain iu the pockets of the people. " Te this end we favor the abolition of the present system of internal taxation ns a measure of relief demanded by the peo ple from an unnecessary and unequal bur den." They demand that the government should redeem all its express and implied obligations as te the coinage. thatit shall maintain and defend the dignity of Ameri can labor and the rights of American citi zens at home and abroad.. They insist in reserving the pnblie lands for actual settlers ; net another acre for cor porations, and they farther declare that first, the administration of Gov. Pattison has vindicated the pledges of re form upon which it was elected." ana 111s upright, courageous exercise power desexves the intelligent and of the executive unqualified appre - batien of his people of the party and of the. commonwealth : 2d, the economy enforced by the Democratic Heuse of Representatives and in the department of the state government which' have passed under Democratic control, and the abolition of useless offices that were a burden upon the people, give assurance that the extension of that control te ether departments of the state government will be accompanied by real reforms upon the extravagance and irregularities which have prevailed under the Republican ad ministration ; 3rd, the public moneys are for public uses and all appropriations should be the subjects of rigid scrutiny te the end that these uses may ba served without personal or local favoritism waste or peculation ; 4tb, The long continued abuses and spoliation of the state treasury, and the deGance el law by its rnauagoment ruaka essential a radical reform, se that large funds should nut be accumulated by taxation of the people te be distributed among the favored depositories of state officials, but that all surplus in excess of the immediate necessity of the state gov ernment shall be invested in interest bear ing state or federal securities, until it may be applied te the extinguishment of the state debt: 5th, The demand of the dem ocratic senators and representatives ter an honest, just and true apportionment is in accord with the letter and spirit of the constitution and with thn rights and interests of every section and of all the poeplo 01 the state. The shame -less determination of the Republicans ever the Legislature te maintain the the present dishonest, unjust nnd uutrne apportionment of the state by their refusal te accede te any fair pre position, is a denial te the poeplo of their right te a fair and equal represen tation. We commend the governor for convening the extra session te enforce obedience te the law. We coun sel the Democratic members of the Legislature te cectitfle te insist upon that ehedicrcc. The cost in money is net te Iu weighed against the cost of :v broken constitution violated duty of the denial of thn rights of the pcojde ; (5"b, The long continued immunity from punishmtut for peliticial and ether crimes which offenders enjejed under Ka publican control of the pardon beaid lias been terminated by tlia election te that body of Democrats who have re gard for their oaths and duties, and who exercise lh"ir responsible ofliee without fear, favor or affection ; 7tb, the KJih and 17th articles of this state constitution regulating priva'.u corporations, railroads and canals, are the supreme lav. of the commonwealth governing them, and these prevision.! of the law should Jbi enforced within full meaning by app.epriate legislation. Extortion.", and fraudulent dKcriminatieu.s are crimes and i-h.;i!d be punish j t such. Si Tit a. Tiatuiura struck. A " lTer.li " AtMnagcrer thn W. If. Uempauy Ulnplnys mnuelt 1 Court.
