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.

A number of cases of a disease which

nied by severe pains in the temples.

ing by taking arsenic. Allie Mills gave

"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,

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.
