For Third Time Pattison was Named
for Governor.
George W. Guthrie, of Pittsburg, was Selected
Jor the Lieutenant Governorship aid James
Nolan, of Reading, was Nominated for 8ecre-
tary of Internal Affairs. Pattison Made a
Speech of Acceptance. :
ERIE, June 25.—For the third time in
twenty vears ex-Governor R. E, Pattison,
of Philadelphia, was nominated for Gov.
ernor of Pennsylvania to-day by the Dem-
ocratic state convention. George W. Guth-
rie, of Pittshurg, was the unanimous choice
of the convention for Lieutenant Governor,
James Nolan, of Reading, was nominated
by acclamation for Secretary of Internal
Affairs. The platform makes no reference
to national questions, which indicates that
the campaign will be made strictly on
state issues. Pattison was first nominated
at Harrisburg in 1882, he was nominated
at Scranton in 1890. Both times he was
elected. His most formidable rival in to-
day’s convention was ex-Congressman
James Kerr, of Clearfield, who was -chair=
man of the Democratic state committee in
Pattison’s second campaign. Pattison ap-
peared before the convention and made a
brief speech of acceptance.
The real contest in the convention was
on the question of the representation from
Philadelphia. Sixty delegates were elect-
ed, but State Chairman William T. Creasy
ruled that that county was entitled to on-
ly twenty-nine. The chairman’s ruling
was sustained by the credentials commit.
tee and also hy the convention. During
the debate on this question the spectators
in the galleries interrupted John M. Gar-
man, of Luzerne, with hisses and jeers.
CALLING IN OF POLICE.
The police were called in by the sergeant-
at-arms to restore order. With the excep-
tion of three, all the Philadelphia delegates
voted for Kerr and left the ball after Pat-
tison’s nomination. The convention was
teld in the Park opera house. It was
called to order at 12:40 by State Chairman
Creasy. A. B. Osborne, of Erie, was elect-
ed temporary chairman.
William J. Breen, of Venango, moved
that all resolutions be referred to commit-
tee without debate, except resolutions con-
cerning the Hasson committee appointed
by the last state convention to reorganize
the Domocratic organization in Philadel-
phia, and resolutions concerning the party
in Philadelphia. Ex-Judge James Gay
Gordon, of Philadelphia, moved to amend
80 as to include Venango ‘and every other
county iu the state. The amendment was
accepted, and the original motion adopted.
While the standing conimittee was in ses-
sion a recess of two hours was taken, the
convention reassembled at 4 o'clock and
was in session until 7:30
The committee on permanent organi-
zation suggested Robert E. Wright, of
Allentown, for permanent chairman. He
was elected by acclamation.
REPORT OF CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE.
John B. Keenan, of Westmoreland, pre-
sented the report of the credentials com-
mittee, which decided the contests in the
Fifth and Sixth Luzerne districts, the First
Schuylkill district and the Twentieth
Philadelphia district in favor of sitting
delegates. The contest from the Twenty-
sixth Philadelphia district was decided in
favor of the contestant, Eugene G. Bonni-
well. Mr. Keenan also reported that a
motion brought before the committee to
£raut a representation of sixty delegates to:
Philadelphia was decided in the negative.
A minority report was presented hy ex-
~ Judge James Gay Gordon, of Philadelphia,
in thre form of a resolution that Philadel-
phia be accorded a representation of sixty
delegates. Mr. Gordon said that at the
last election in Philadelphia county, acting
under the leadership of National Commit-
teemen Guffev. State Chairman Creasy aud
ex-Governor Pattison, former chairman of
the Philadelphia city committee, 102,000
‘votes were cast for the Democratic state
- candidates, Coray and Yerkes. This was
‘the largest Democratic vote ever cast in
Philadelphia for any Democratic candidate
for any office sinee Philadelphia has been
in existence.
Ex-Judge Edwin M. Harvey, of Lehigh,

of candidates for Governor. Col. Frank J.
Fitzsimmons, of Lackawana, presented
Pattison’s name.

Heister, of Berks, David F. Fortney nomi-
nated Colonel John A. Woodward, of Cen-
tre,Charles A. Fagan nominated George W.,
Guthrie. :

Nurse Jane Toppen Confesses to Having Committed
Thirty-one Murders.
BosTON, June 24.— Suspected of the
death of eleven persons, but indicted for
murdering only three, Miss Jane Toppan,
who was declared yesterday to he insane,
bas confessed that she has killed during her
career as a professional nurse no less than
thirty one human beings. This statement
was made to Judge Fred Bixby, of Brocton,
senior council at the trial at Barnstable yes-
terday, when Miss Toppan was fouud not
guilty, by reason of insanity, on the charge
of murdering Mrs, Mary D. Gibbs. Judge
Bixby said also that Miss Toppan ‘had’ ad-
mitted that she had set fires and committed
other serious acts. She said she could not
help committing crimes. She argued,
moreover, that she was not insane. She
eaid she knew she was doing wrong when
che administered poison to her victims and
she asked Judge Bixby how, under such
circumstances, she could he of unsound
mind. Morphine was Miss Toppan’s agency
for producing death. Many of her victims
were unsuspecting and most intimate
friends, others were the patients of repu-
table physicians who employed her on ac- | Po
count of her ability as a nurse. Miss Top-
pan was so export in her knowledge of how
to employ drugs and poisons that she was
able to escape detection for many years. In
the detailed story as told to Judge Bixby,
Miss Toppan did not enumerate her many
victims, although she did admit the killing
of Mrs. Gibbs, Mrs. Harry Gorgon, of Chi-
cago, and Alden F. Davis, all of whond died
at Cataumet, last summer. Miss Toppan
was indicted last December for these three
murders, the state expecting to try on the
Gibbs court yesterday. Miss Toppan was
taken to the Taunton hospital to-day to
begin her life sentence.
Eloping Preacher Held for Court.
The Rev. Mr. Burt Must Answer to Charges, Too, Be-
fore His Congregation.
LANCASTER, Pa., June 23.<~The Rev. O.
C. Bart, the preacher, who was unmercifal-
ly beaten on Sunday by Franklin Shenk,
with whose daughter he had planned to
elope, had a hearing to-day before magis-
trate Thomas, on charges growing out of
the encounter.
Before the hearing Bart was arrested on
charges of assault and battery, that of dis-
orderly conduct being dismissed, and on
this charge several witnesses were heard, in-
cluding Shenk and his wife.
Burs tried to justify his conduct by say-
ing that he acted in self-defense.
evidence presented he was held for court in
$500 bail. Fearing that there might be a
demonstration against him, Burt was tak-
en to the magistrate’s office in a carriage,
and after the hearing he was driven quick-
ly to his home.
Mrs. Bart resurned from Atlantic City
last night. Excitement over the affair is
still intense, and it is rumored that more
serious charges will be brought against the
erring pastor. The congregation of which
Burt is pastor has summoned the presiding

MARQUETTE, Mich.,June 23.—Saturday,
the last day of spring, witnessed a novel
spectacle of snow falling in various parts of
the upper peninsula. Light flurries were
experienced in Marquette. At Ishpeming
half an inch came down and at Tronwood |
nearly two inches fell. A fierce gale is rag-

King Edward II!
Condition of the British Monarch is Very Serious and
Worst is Feared. The Coronation Postponed. He
is Suffering from Perityphlitis, a Disease Closely
Allied to Appendicitis. { :
LONDON, June 24.—The condition of
King Edward is serious and the cormation'
ceremonies have been indefinitely post-
poned. !
Sir Fraucis Knollys, the king’s private
secretary, has issued an official medial an-
Trouncement as follows :. ,.
¥i ir ®ing is suffering from perityphlitis.
£118 cond..ion on Saturday was so sgbisfac-
tory that it was hoped that with cre his
majesty would be able to go through the
ceremony. On Monday evening a recrude-
scence became manifest, rendering a fnrgio-
al operation necessary today.’’ |
The operation on the king was suctesful-
ly performed at 2 o’clock and the king fell
asleep.
At 2:46 p. m., the following bulletin was
posted at Buckingham Palace :
“The operation has been successfully
performed. A large abscess has been evioun-
ated. The king has borne the operation
well and is in a satisfactory condition.”
The first news of the renewed illness
of the king came from the House of Com-
mons, where various court officials gave an
intimation that the arrangements for
Thursday would better be suspended forth-
with, as the coronation would be postponed
indefinitely on account of the indigposition
of his majesty.
The sudden announcement of the post:
ponement of the coronation, just on theeve
of the ceremony, caused the utmost conster-
nation everywhere. The news spread like
wildfire. The tens of thousands of oscu-
pants of the streets suddenly stood still
from the shock and gazed at one another in
silent dread of what might come next.
On Saturday and Sunday society was dis-
cussing the reports of the king’s illness,
though the ciroumstantiality, detail and
sources from which they came preluded en-
tire disbelief, there was a disposition to
doubt the stories, and when the positive,
categorical denial was officially issued they
were dismissed as being unfounded,
Hemorrhoids, apoplexy and lumbago
were a few of the king’s maladies discussed
in the clubs and drawing rooms, and those
discussing them recalled the stories how
the king, even quite recently, reiterated
his belief that he would never live to be
crowned. i
On the stock exchange the effect of the
startling news was immediate. | Prices
weakened, led by consols with a fall of
half a point.
His majesty, under ordinary conditions
was not looked upon as a good subject for
operations, and, though the king passed
successfully through the ordeal, 3 is be-
lieved that four or five weeks mus; elapse
before he will be able to undergo the ardu-
ous labors of the coronation ceremonies.
Therefore no date can yet be indicated for
carrying out the coronation. \
Official announcements of the king’s ser-
ious illness were made to public bodies as
speedily as possible. Word was sen to the
House of Commons and the acting lord
chamberlain—Lord ‘Churchill—personally
delivered to the Mansion House, theofficial
residence: of the lord mayor, a message re-
garding his majesty’s illness, and at this
;morning’s rehearsal of the coronation cere-
mony in Westminister’ abbey the bishop of
London—the Rt. Rev. Arthur F. Tngram—
at the request of Lord Esher, the Ho
governor, made a statement, as follows :
“I have to make a very sad anrbunoe-
ment. The king is suffering fromfan ill-
ness which makes an operation ne¢essary
today. The coronation is, therefore post-
ned :
The bishop requested the congregation to
join in the litany out of the coronation
service and pray for the recovery of the
king. During the afternoon the earl mar-
shal, the Duke of Norfolk, issued the fol-
lowing notice :
‘‘The earl marshall has received the
king’s command to express his majesty’s
deep sorrow that, owing to his serious ill-
ness, the celebrations in London will in
consequence be likewise postponed, bat 1t
is the king’s earnest hope that the celebra-
tions in the country shall be held as already
arranged.” :
The king also expressed to the lord may-
or his desire that his majesty’s dinner to
the poor of London be not postponed.
Nothing has yet been decided r garding
the movements of foreign guests. It is un-
derstood, however, that special ambassadors
and royal guests ‘will ‘return to their re-
spective countries as soon as more definite
news is received of the resalt of the opera-
tion.
Outside of Buckingham palace enormous
throngs of people congregated since early
morning for the purpose of witnessing the
arrival of the special am lors, who
were to he received by the king and queen
today. Large numbers of the foreign rep-
resentatives actually arrived, but the shor-
ness of their stay was noticed. Inquiries
were made and soon the news of his ma-
jesty’s serious state of health was circulat-
among the waiting thousands. At the
various palaces and at the Grosvenor, Buck-
ingham, Carlton, Cecil and other hotels
where the foreign representatives are stay-
ing, the news created the greatest dismay.
In the House
leader, A. J. Balfour, announced that
an operation has been performed on the
king, and that his majesty was progressing
as well as ‘possible. Mr. Balfour added
that while the king’s condition was un-
doubtedly serious, be did not intend to in-
Sense the public alarm by adjourning the
ouse.
Royal carriages were already drawn up
in readiness to take the guests to the re.
ception at the palace, but the moment the
‘““tickers”’ announced his majesty’s illness
all the preparations for the day ceased. In
the streets the change which came over the
crowds was most pronounced. Traffic
seemed momentarily paralyzed, and it was
long before the full effect of the startling
intelligence was felt.
Large crowds quickly gathered around |!
the Mansion House, where the official no.
tice was put up. The streets as the day
wore on became more and more congested,
and the holiday crowd concentrated into
groups reading and rereading the‘‘extras.’’
Most of the people seemingly felt dazed |
and scarcely appreciated the full import of
what they read. Work on the stands eréct-
ed on all sides to enable people to view the
coronation procession was gradually dis-
continued,
At 4:45 p. m. Lord Salisbury, in the
house of lords, said the surgeons entertain-
ed a most satisfactory view in regard to the
progress of the king. More definite Jan-
guage than that was impossible. a!
Sir Francis Knollys informed a represen-
tative of the Associated Press at 4:30 p. m.,
that there had been practically no change
since the eperation. ‘‘His majesty,’ he
said, ‘‘continues to sleep well and is pro-
gressing satisfactory. There is no question
i wever, that the king’s condition is oritic-
al. =
The cabinet council which lasted an hotr
was held this evening at Mr. Balfour's
of Commous the government!
room, in the house of commons. It is un-
derstood that it was arranged to carry on
as far as possible public busivess requiring
the king’s approval and signature without
reference to his majesty, in order to insure
absolute mental and physical rest and
quietude throughout what the ministers
hope ‘will be the period of convalescence.
In spite of the intensity of the tragic in-
terruption to the coronation, the lower ele-
ments of London are “‘maficking’’ through
the flag-decked streets and a portion of so-
ciety in coronation gowns and jewels bhav-
ing gathered at What is éalled a gala coro-
nation dinner at one of the fashionabla ho-
tels. Even at the gates of Buckingham
Paiace, within which the ablest surgeons
and physicians constantly remain in the
hope of saving the sovereign’s life, the toot-
ing of horns and the sound of other revel-
ries can be plainly heard. Wagon loads of
boisterous rowdies are on the streets; they
are driving all sorts of vehicles and waving
flags and hugging demijohns of liquor.
They make their noisy way from the West
End to Whitechapel." They represent that
portion of the British public which no
tragedy can sober into decency. They have
tasted license unrestrained by law in the
celebrations in connection with the war,
and king or no king,they will celebrate the
coronation.
Tt must be admitted that the revelers
have been misled by the technical language
of the bulletins; they seem to have no con-
option of the gravity of King Edward’s
condition. The thinking portion of the
nation, however, have gone home numbed
by the events which to-day has brought
forth. Indescribable consternation pre-
vails throughout the country,and this con-
sternation is reflected in the cablegrams re-
ceived from all centres of the universe.
If to-night’s progress is maintained King
Edward will probably tide over the effeots
of his severe operation which has sncoess-
fully removed the local trouble. But should
any complication ocour, such as septic per-
itonitis or blood poisoning, it is feared his
majesty’s present physical and nervous
condition would prove unequal to the strain
involved.
‘The following bulletin was issued at
11:10 p. m :
“The king's condition is as good as could
be expected after so serious an operation.
His strength is maintained, there is less
pain and his majesty has taken a little nour-
ishment.
“It will be some days before it will be
possible to say that King Edward is ont of
danger.”’

Bryan Refuses to Run for Governor.
Forbids the Use of His Name as a Candidate in Neoras-
ka Convention.
GRAND ISLAND, Neb. June 24.—Before
the State conventions of the Democratic
and Populist parties met this afternoon,
William J. Bryan had a conference with
leaders of each party, and urged them not
to permis the use of his name as a candidate
for Governor in this convention,
Ex-Senator Allen likewise refused to ac-
cept a nomination.
This afternoon the Democratic conven-
tion nominated Constantine J. Smyth for
Governor.
The Populists were taken by surprise,
the nomination having heen made without
conference. They charge that they have
been treated discourteonsly, and fusion now
seems farther away than ever.
H. D. Travis, temporary chairman of the
Democratic Convention, in a gpeech, charg-
ed the Republican party with being gov-
erned wholly by commercialism, since
1896, he said, the necessities of life bave
advanced 100 per cent. while wages have
advanced only ten per cent.

Sell Philippines to Japan Says Burt.
Retired General's Plan for the Solution of a Difficult
Problem.
SAN FRANOISCO, June 23.—General A.
S. Burt, retired. who has recently arrived
from the Philippines, has a plan for the so-
lation of the Philippine problem. He be-
lieves be has arrived at'a conclusion that
will ultimately be accepted by the Admin-
istration and the country at large as the
only solution.
“Tarn them over to the Japanese,” said
the General. ‘‘Let them have them on the
instalment plan for the consideration, say,
of $150,000,000. Our government does not
need the money in a lump sum, and by
making a proposition of that kind we can
dictate as to coaling stations, and make
such reserves as are thought to be best for
trade interests.
‘‘An arrangement of that kind can be ef-
fected that will give the United States as
broad a road into the markets of the Orient
as if we retained the islands; beside we
will be making strong allies of two nations
that will represent our interest on that side
of the globe without the necessity of the

Jacob Kramer to-day solved the mystery as
to the whereabouts of his wayward daugh-
ter Elizabeth, 17 years old. He appeared
before Magistrate Kirschman and swore

pit. It was the Kramer girl. She was smear-
ed over with red paint, a wig put on her
to resemble a wild growth of hair, and chains
fastened to ber hands and feet. Hundreds
‘gazed into the pit and believed that they
\were looking at a terrible creature who
knew neither language nor civilization.
[The father, paying a dime to see her, was
shocked to recognize his own daughter in
{the pit. For posing as a ‘‘wild woman’’
the girl received $15 a week.

AN OLD CENTRE COUNTY JUSTICE IN
TROUBLE IN PITTSBURG. — To-morrow
Daniel H. Beam, who was born in Half-
‘moon valley and was well-known as a jus-
‘tice of the peace in Taylor township a few
Years ago. will probably receive the maxi-
mum sentence for an attempt to defraud
the Pittsburg Railways Co.
On July 1st, 1899; Beam was on a car in
that city and his spectacles were accidental-
ly broken by the conductor. He made a
great ado about it and pretended that some
of the glass had penetrated his eye,causing
the loss of sight. In the lower court Beam
was awarded a verdict of $1,000 against the
