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.

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.

like social gatherings but perhaps the big-
gest reanion of any this summer was the
seventh anooal gathering of the Williams
family, in Joho Q. Miles’ grove, last Sas-
urday. The Williams family, itself, is one
with a large number of connections and
their reunions have become so popular thas
everybody in that section of Bald Eagle
valley always attends while hundreds go
there from other parts of the county. The
crowd on Saturday was estimated at from
fifteen hundred to two thousand and they
were all there.

Hicks for September.
Rev. Hicks, who so successfully prediot-
ed the weather for August, makes the fol
lowing predictions for September :
A regular storm period will be central
on the 1st, extending to the 4th. The
month will come in with high temperature,
low barometer and storms. The climax
will come on the 20d but the period may
not come to a close until the 5th. A reac-
tionary storm period will be central on the
7th and 8th, and this will cause storms
which originate in the first od to be
foll of the September . Jee
