SENATORIAL CONFERENCES. —The third gession of the Kepublican senatorial confer- ence in this district was held at Philips- burg last Friday. All the conferees were present as was Henry C. Quigley, of this place. Joseph W. Alexander did not put in an appearance but instead addressed a letter to the conference in which he stated that he was convinced the conference would be unable to make a nomination and sug- gested that the task of naming the can- didate be tarned over to the State commit- tee. Mr. Quigley would not agree to this and the conference adjourned without even taking a ballot. It was to have met again on Tuesday but owing to the death of Mr. Quigley’s father-in-law the meeting was postponed until next Tuesday. The Democratic conference met for the first time in Tyrone on Tuesday. The two candidates before the conference were Wm. C. Heinle, of this place, and George M. Dimeling, of Clearfield. One hundred bal- lots were taken and on each one the con- ferees stood solidly for their mau. The Centre county conferees are A. Weber, of Howard ; P. J. McDovald, Unionville, and Ellis 8. Shaffer, of Miles township. Not being able to make a nomination the con- ference adjourned to meet again .n Tyrone yesterday afternoon, but up to the hour of going to press we have not learued the re- sult of the conference. te AGAIN IN THE ToiLs.—Jobn Hogen- champ who, on August 11th, attempted a felonious assault on Elpha Pelton, of vear Kylertown, Clearfeld county, and snccess- fully made his escape when the girl's cries brought help, was caoght at the Dix Run lamber camp, last Thursday evening, by _ officer John Howell and brought to Belle- fonte and lodged in jail. Friday morning be was taken to Kylertown and given a hearing before justice of the peace Jones who commitsed him to the Clearfield coun- ty jail for trial. Hogenchamp is a big, burly hobo, a rather desperate character, and has but recently gotten out of the pen alter serving a five year’s sentence hy Judge Love for a similar offense. It is very likely he will now get a taste of Clear- field county justice. ————— psn CENTRE COUNTY VETERAN REUNION.— The thirty-second annual reunion of the Centre county Veteran club will be held at Hunter's park tomorrow and the old sol- diers feel confident that the gathering will beon a par with any held in recent years.
