The Democratic State Convention met at Harrisburg yesterday, at 12 o'clock A. M. just a feu- hours be fore the JOURNAL goes to precs, so that wo can not give our readers the result of its deliberations. How ever it will be wired over the erftire state and country before this reach es the eyes of our patrons who the standard bearers are that will lead the party to almost certain victory. As to Governor, all is speculation since Trunkey has positively declin ed. The nomination may strike Pattison, Hopkins, Coxe, Monaghan, Hall, Wolverton.or asa remote pos sibility, some dark horse hardly yet mentioned. For Supreme Judge Ludlow seems to be the strongest man, while J. Sirnjscn Afiica has but little opposition foi Secretary of Internal Affairs. Who the other candidates may be can now only be guessed at. However it is much moro important what they are than who they are. If the convention but nominates good, able and practical men who arc abreast with-the spirit and questions of the present—victory is sure. The make-up of the convention justifies such expectations. The out look is decidedly auspicious. The Stalwart rump convention which met at Harrisburg last Thursday was a rather tame affair. The convention was largely composed of substitutes, many of the regular delegates refusing to attend. There was no enthusiasm, liardly a hopefulness ef success appar ant. A feeble effort was made, led by Gen. „'ussup, to do something to unite the distracted and shattered party, but it came to nothing tangible. Marriott Brosius, a lawyer of some local note at Lancaster, was nominated for Congressraan-at Large, John Wan nmaker and Galustia A. Grow, having declined the doubtful honor. A resolution was adopted empower ing the State Committee to fill any va cancy that may occur on the ticket. WASHING-ION LETTER. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 26th, 'B2. Congress seems to have great difficul ty in agreeing upon a mode of counting the electoral votes for President and Vice President. Those who have thought of the matter realize the iui jiortau.ee of such a measure, as since the repeal of the 22nd joint rule there is at any time danger of serious disa greement and lesults under the exist ing provisions. To most people a sat isfactory plan would seem easy of at tainment, but somehow it does not pre sent itself to the minds of Congress men and Senators, Political checker playing is, lioweyer, the real difficulty. If an honest purpose existed to deyise a plan independent of any party con siderations or advantages it would be simple enough. The bill proposed by • Mr. Updegraff of the select special committee on that subject was very properly defeated this week, and is the last of the numerous schemes in that line to go the way of all the earth. The part of this bill which aroused the strongest opposition was the provision that the defeated candidate might pro ceed by quo warranto and go into the courts to determine the question of ti tle after the votes had been counted and the results declared. This contem plates the possible ousting *of a presi dent once seated, and Mr. Hammond, of Georgia, aptly remarked that it ought to be entitled, "a bill to raise hell in the United State." Mr. Hewitt opposed it and said he was satisfied that no man installed in the office of President could be ousted inside of his four years by any method short of rev olution. The simplest and only practi cal plan is to have all questions per taining: to the choice of electors settled by the State courts and make the de cision final and binding bpon Congress. Mr. Georjfe William Curtis, Presi dent of the New York civil Servioes Iteform Association, has'sent a circu lar to all the Government employes here, warning them not to respond to the forced levy of the Republican Cam paign Committee, under pain of being proceeded against according to the Re- Vised Statutes prohibiting such contri butions. It is understood that Mr. Curtis has or will send a copy of this circular to custom house officers and Government employes generally throughout the country. There is no question that a large majority of them would be very glad to get off paying the assessment if tlieir tenure of olliee is not thereby impaired. They are placed 111 somewhat or a dilemma. A female clerk in one ot the departments insist ed a day or two since on making a com paratively largo contribution to the campaign committee. She placed her own action on the score of patriotism, but some of her associate clerks said she did it with the hope of making her self "solid'' in her office. PHONO. Sews Miscellany. It is estimated that there aro $30,- 000,000 invested In the Pennsylvania railroad shops in Altoona. Wlieu iu full operation they employ 3200 men, and the pay roll reaches $170,000 per month. A number of cases of a disease which is pronounced pink-eye by physicians, have appeared in several families in different portions of Ilarrisburg. The svmptons are an infUmation of the in side of the eyelids, and appearahce of hard lumps on the outside, accompa nied by severe pains in the temples. The disease is said to be contagious. Threo Girls Commit Suicide To gether DANVILLE, Ills., June 22. —Allie Mills, aged fourteen yeais, Mary Oglie, aged seventeen, and Mary Jones, aged twelve, co mmitted suicide this morn ing by taking arsenic. Allie Mills gave as her reason that her father lived with a shameless woman. Miss Oglie's reason was that she was a orphan, and Mary Jones took the drug because the others did. THE WESTERN CROPS. "Wheat in Kansas Promising a Large Yield of Good Quality. ATCHISON, Kan., June 22.—Harves ters are bu3y over Kansas, even in northern sections. The yield will ex ceed the estimate a mouth ago, and wheat in many sections turn out twen ty-five to for ty bushels to the acre and of the very best quality. Rye and oats are equ ally good, and both are beyond danger. Corn is now growing magnifi cently, the average being larger than ever. The farmers are consequently happy. A Frog-Hunter Shoots a Wo man. READING, June 2 J.—John Broom, a resideut of Frledensville Lehigh county wishing to go frog shooting to-day borrowed a double-barreled shotgun from James Fisher. While passing John Evers' house Mrs. Evers appear ed and accused him of shooting her pet cat and forbade him the shooting of frogs on their premises, whereupon he took aim at lar and fired. Several shots lodged in her legs, but with no fatal result. The affair created quite au ex citement in the village. No arrests were m ide. Don't Bo Taken In. '- Two men are going through adjoin ing counties offer ing charms for the prevention aud cure of chills and fever for sale at fifty cents apiece. The charms are a small egg shaped object, neatly covered, and the cure was to be effected by the patients wearing one of them suspended around his neck next to the body. Strange to say the ven ders disposed of quite a number. One woman bought one for each of her chil dren, and as the chills of course came on a3 usual, she cut one of the charms open. It proved to sonsist of two brass thimbles, placed mouth to mouth and containing the dead body of a spider wrapped iu a bit of rag. An Enemy to Farmers. An exchange says that the dairymen and farmers of this and other states are agitated by the presence of a new weed, known as "Long John," believ ed to have been brought in by western grass seed. It grows three feet high, has the appearance of a species of mus taid, and blossoms with small yellow flower. Cattle are extremely fond of it, eating it in preference to garss. The milk from cows feeding upon it is rend ered worthless, the butter therefrom being worse than rancid, and utterly valueless for anything but common greese. The managers of cheese facto ries are watchful lest a batch of this milk shall spoil the whole make of eheese. A BOY'S GHASTLY DISCOV ERY. Firiding His Father and Mother in a Pool of Blood. PITTSBURG, June 20. To-day, shortly after 12 o J clock, a German carpenter named Peter Wein kauf, living on Frankstown avenue, East End, killed his wife by first strik ing her down with a base ball bat and then cutting her throat with an 18- inch butcher knife. After accomplish ing his aim he cut his own throat, nearly severing his head from the trunk, with the same weapon used to dispatch his wife. No one was present when the double criuio was committed, but thoitly afterwards a fifteen year old son of Weinkauf entered tlio house ! and found the couple lyinar dead on the fioor in a great pool of blood, lie hur ried drtwn stairs, locking the door, and atonce notified the police authorities. Weinkauf was a man of considerable property and the woVnan was his Se cond wife. lly a fotmer wife lib had five children, the eldest being twenty three years of age. The cause of the murder is attributed to the .fact that his second wife some tiuia ago induced him to s'gn a deed conveying to her all of his piopertv, part of which had been left him l-y his first wife in trust for the children. Toe couple had lived unhappy for some time and yesterday it is said, Mir, Weinkauf had stated that she intended getting a divorce, Written for the .LU RNAI.. COMMENCEMENT AT NEW BERLIN, PA. . / (Continued .from lust week.) Sabbatii was a warm yet pleasant day and the church services, of pleach ing and S. School were attended by those who believe it a duty as a pi i> i lege, to wait on the Lord, in the con gregation, on the Lord's appointed day, the day of rest from earthly toil. The multitude gathered,on the eve of this hollowed day, in the Evangelic al church to hear Rev. J. Young, of Williamsport, preached an earnest, weighty, interesting Baccalaureate ser mon from the words —"Occupy until 1 -come." On Monday evening Rev. 11. 11. Ilartzler, Editor of the Evangelical Messenger, of Cleveland, Ohio, deliver ed an excellent lecture before the liter ary societies of Union Seminary. The ability, manner, and oratory of the lec turer are such as to hold an audience and send truth home to the heart with telling effect, while his editorial work can be best learned of bv referring to the periodical ho so ablv edits. At the sounding of the bell, on Tues day morning the board of trustees met in the chapel before whom the ques tion "of making an addition to the •Seminary building'' was brought, and and favorably considered. Such speaks well for the progress of the School when the cry coiues for another build ing needed. On Tuesday evening Judge Sassaman lectured on the subject,—"Former days o! Union Seminary." His was a line historic lecture, descriptive of the rise and progress of this institution of learning up to ISG3 when this with oth er colleges closed doors because of tlie Rebellion, for it is a fact that wars and schools can not prosper together. Re union day for the permanent organiza tion of the Alumni was llxed for Wed nesday. Many ot the old or formei students had assembled to "greet one another again," letters of regret were read from others who could not attend while comrades, now dead, were re membered and spoken of with a tear or a sigh. The generous-hearted, hospitable New Berliners had provided a sumptu ous, free dinner for all on two long ta bles in the campus ot which about three hundred par took, and the many fragments were sent to the boor and of the comunity who felt thankful for the large remains. The day was pleasantly spent in pleasant conversation, speech-making and literary exercises and closed with singing "Auld Lang Syne," then a fine military drill by the students and the band led by Cap. Mitchel. "When shall we meet again, Meet ne'er to sever,—" • The programme for the evening con sisted of Orations and Esays by some of the students of whom seven gradua ted from the Commercial department! and one, Miss Annie E. Shortess grad uated from the Classical and Scientific department. A large audience, estimated at 2500 people, had gathertd to witness these closing exercises. The decorations by the liteiary societies on the west wall of the building were beautiful, and pre sented a brilliant appearance at night, and the stage and seats in the campus were far from enough to give places for the people. Prof. Gobble, whose father lives west of Millheira a few miles, once a Centre Co. youth, and a graduate of an East ern College, is the successful and zeal ous principal of Union Seminary. lie with his faithful assistants are doing a noble work for young men and ladies who attend this school for instruction in any of its departments. Success and prosperity to this insti tution. COSMOPOLITE.
