Pursuant to a call of the Chairman, the Democracy of the county assembled In con vention, at the Opera House, on Tuesday tho 12th Inst. The attendance was quite large of repre sentative men from all parts of the county and although the caucusing bad been lively and animated during the preceding after noon and night, still the best of feeling pre vailed and thereseemed to exist a unanimous sentiment that Columbia county would not fall to roll up her usual emphatic majority In favor of Democratic principles and the candidates nominated. At 11 o'clock, the convention was called to order by Chairman Lowenberg and an organization etfected by the selection of J M. Clark, En., as chairman. Col. A. 1) Seeley, of Berwick, was placed In nomina tion but declined. Upon taking the chair, Mr. Clark, In n brief but well timed and pertinent speed: returned his thanks for the honor conferrei and counselled a unity of action and sent! inent on the part of the convention.

A harmonious convention and good nom inations. Democrats, fall into line. It is altogether likely that the Conkllng boom may end In the bang of Spraguo'a Bhot-gun. Mr. Chas. A. Vanderoof, the artist, has just gone to England on a sketching tour for Scribncrt Monthly. The house Fly. his origin, his business, his torturing ways, and his peculiarities of structure, are tho subject of a short illustrat ed article announced to appear in the lorth coming, September number of St. Nicholas. The author is Mr. S. F. Clarke, of Johns Hopkins University. Don't go to (he Sea Shore unless you are able ; but if you need a tonic to overcome the depression caused by the summer heat use the celebrated Kidney-Wort. It has wonderful invigorating properties, but acts on natural principles as it is prepared without the use of liquors. I & Co., a lieutenant of the 'king of the roos- ters' Chas. B. Salter, was arrested in Phil- adelpbia on Monday. After considerable difficulty he succeeded in raUing the ncc- canary bail, $1000. It is understood tbat bo will, also, be indicted tor perjury. The prohibitionist intend holding a state convention and nominating somebody. We suggest tbat tbey ratify Mr. Quay's candid ate, the Hon. Samuel Butler, of Chester. Ho was a warm supporter and advocate of the local option bill in the last legislature, thus filling the bill so far as requirements are concerned ; besides, by this arrangement,tho prohibition party would poll a decidedly larger vote than it ever has before. Butler, Quay's, Kemble' s and the republi can ring candidate for state treasurer says be will have the solid vote of the repub licans of Philadelphia. This is probably correct. He is certain, at least of that large ly preponderating element known as the "rounders" and "roosters." His Tote in the Legislature against the expulsion of the no torious Petroff, settled that business. Bumbergoris not altogether unanimous in his support of Butler for treasurer. The Armstrong County Statesman fails to see the fine point of discrimination indulged by Mr, Quay's candidate In voting to kick him out of the legislature while he sustained and vindicated the noted rooster of Kemble's coop, Emil J. Petrofi. To bts friends, pri vately, Bumberger declares that he will not take the stump or travel rainy nights for the purpose of aiding Butler's election. Maryland Democratic Nominations. At Baltimore Friday the Democratic con- vention unanimously nominated Hon. Wil liam T. Hamilton, of Washington county, for governor ; 0. J, M. Gwinn was unani mously renominated for attorney general, and Thomas J. Keating unanimously re nominated for comptroller. There was do other nominations for these offices and they were made without the formality of a call of I the roll. A remarkable homicide has occurred In Luzerne county. Frank Walker arrived at Wilkes-Barre, called on thq District Attor ney and represented tbat he had killed a man at Jeddo, la that county, by striking bim on the side of the face with the edge of his open hand. An Investigation corrobora ted his statement, and it was learned that the name of the deceased was Thomas Jev era. There were Borne half-dozen men sit ting upon the turf, when there were hot words, and the blow was given, resulting fatally. Walker says tbat he traveled sixty miles in order to arrive at the District At torney's office before au arrest could be made. He Is now In jail. Commonwealth, Among the claims against the estate of Mrs. Elizabeth Vassels of New Bedford, Mass., was that of Nathaniel Hammond for 'twenty-four visits, with medical advice,' at $1 each, and 'nine gold pills' at $7 for the lot. The fact tbat Mr. Hammond is not a physician led the administrator to refuse payment, which brought on a lawsuit. Mr, Hammond testified that he doctored Mrs. Vassels at her urgent request, and prescrib ed pills made of solid gold, nine of which actually cost $7 to make. He thought they wouia Btrengmen tne patient, ii iron was a good tonic, why should not a more precious . ii i , ., 1 " metal b better 7 Mr. Hammond's account book was put in evldeuce.

A couple of months ai?o. at Dauphiu Station, there oc. cur red a horrible murder and sutchle ; tbe victims being respectively a young and beau tiful girl and au infatuated wretch and drunken bloat who ended tbe drama by blowing out his own brains.

BHKRIFF. Among the numerous names presented to tho convention on Tuesday, from which to select a candidate for Bhoriff, It was hardly possible to make A bad nomination. Of the ten aspirants for tho place all were "good men and true," Individually compe tent to faithfully and efficiently discharge tho ilutlc-i of the position. Consequently, under theso circumstances, It U a high com- lillment to the character and sterling honesty of A. K. Smith, that he was selected from among mkIi a list nf candidates to be the standard-heftier of the Democracy nl Colum bia county, fur the most Important office In their hands to bestow. Mr. Smith was born and raised In Madi son township, and comes of sturdy, old-fash ioned Democratic stock. Madison has nev er had a sheriff since the division of the county. The name of Mr. Smith has been thrice be fore presented In convention fur the nomi nation and on the fourth trial ho has been successful. To his credit be it said that when previously defeated for the nomlna tlon he submitted with the best of grace and taking off his coat worked earnestly for the election of his successful competitor. Ho has never held an office, is In the prime of vlgoroui life nod his election Is assured by an overwhelming majority. (X)ItO.NKB. The convention made a prudent and prop er selection in the nomination of I. K. 1)11 dine, E-q , of Mt. Pleasant township. While there Is nothing political In the duties of the office, It is at least a fair recognition of the claims of the township, as well as an en dorsement of an active, hardworking and worthy Democrat. JUItY COMMISSIONER. The re-nomination of Eli Bobbins, E q., of Fishtngcreek township, for the position of Jury Commissioner, Is a well-earned com pliment to a faithful and conscientious of ficial.

It is possible that Kemble may desire to plead previous good character and It is to be hoptd his claim may not be barred. It may be tbat the following letter written by him twelve years hu, to n prominent republican wire puller and middle-man at Washington, in behalf of George O.

The first Association of spiritualists are holding n camp meeting on tho Bound Itrook Boad, and the following from the Sunday Tunis shows that Col. S. P. Case, one of the founders and builders of the Heading & Co lumbia B. B,, Is boss of the meeting. It Is a racy sketch : One of the funniest little disturbances that has helped to lift the camp meeting ftf fairs up out of the depths of monotony was created by the appearance upon tho grounds of Mrs. Mary E, Tillotson, tho reformer. Mrs. Titlotson comes from Vineland, N. J., and she wears a bloomer costume. Her woolen skirt only reaches to her knees, the lower portion of her nether limbs be ing encased in baggy pants. She is said to be a really good woman with a screw loose In her bead, which permits tbe ventilation of some queer ideas upon the question of dress. Her strange appearance and her wild talk proved a counter-attraction to the talk ing match that the Spiritualists were hold ing, and everywhere that Mary wen', the crowd was sure to go. This so aroused the Ire of the camp meeting mauagers that Col. P. Kase, the chairman of the committee, ordered the lady from Vineland off the grounds, because, as he said, her short skirts were simply disgraceful, and the book she was selling, entitled "Love and Transition," wns nothing more than a Free Love pamph let. The dress reformer made the retort acrimonious. "I don't know why," she said In loud tones, so that all around her could hear, 'Col. Kase should object to toy short skirts when at a seance held recently in his house a spirit appeared dressed in little more than nothing and Col. Kase urgently invited her to come again. My limbs are covered with decent pants." Mrs. Tillotson's tongue proved itself so long and so sharp that the chairman of the committee was r.lad to beat a retreat, leaving the wearer of the bloomer costume mistress of the situation. Nearly every person connected with Spiri tualism, or at least those who have attended the camp meeting, liave a peculiar history Upon the stand the other day was a small gathering, each member of which has a re markable story surrounding his or her life, In the party were Col. Kase and Mrs. Kase. Dr. T. B. Taylor, P. O. Tomson, Mtdium Mrs. Mary Dartin and Medium Mrs. Dr. Rogers, formerly Miss Mary d'Holien, and Medium James A. Bliss, remained upon the staud long enough to have Ins ghost show advertised. The story of each is interest Ing. Col. S. P, Kase is known among his ac quaintances as the Railroad King, or the man who can build a railroad without mon ey. He prides himself upon looking like Geo. Washington and his spirit friends flat- terhim by calling him the ''materialized George." He is u man of splendid physique aud stands fully six feet four inches in heiitht. Ills hair Is white. He is about sixty-five years of age. The town of Dan villa, up in Montour county, Pennsylvania is where ho halls from and where he is best known. He built the Diuvillc and Haz'etnn Railroad, and through it had his great difficulty with the Pennsylvania Hall- road Company. The Danville road was a failure and some time since it was sold out He It was who had surveyed und staked out and chartered the road through the Dela ware river valley, un the Bushkill aud Mil ford, tapping the Erie Railroad at Port Jer vis. It is understood that New Yorkers have now obtained possession of the pro posed r.ute. Among his friends Col. Kase passes as a man possessing wealth estimated at $000,000, but ns to this matter opinions diflVr. His house at the northeast corner of Fifteenth and Oxford streets is held In his wife's name, and, a couple of farms that he has in Maryland are nominally his rum's possessions. Li is first introduction to Spiri tualism, through an affair made up of a lot of twaddle about Abraham Lincoln Isruing the Emancipation Proclamation through spirit intervention, has frequently been ex plained in publications. In 17 he mar ried tbe present Mrs. Kase. Now a word as to this remarkable lady. As Col. Kase so he thinks, is tbe exact impersonation of Geo, Wasbingtion to with a peculiar fitness does Mrs, Kase imagine that she is tbe perfect image of Martha Washington, Wily mediums, after addres sing the Col. as "Materialized Geo." makes bis wife's bosom swell by refeilng to her as "Materialized Martha." If the wife of tbe Father of his Country weighed something over two hundred pounds and was nearly as broad as she was tall, then does Mrs. Kase possess one point ot similarity. The Col's, estimable wife does possess a really magnifi cent head, but it is a masculine head. It Is so much like a man's head that it renders Mrs. Kase quito a curiosity. If her husband Is not at her side one might think tbat she had borrowed tbat portion of him that tow ers above his shoulders. Her hair is gray and very short. She parts it on one side just liko a man, has a bald spot ntar the parting point just like a man, aud brushes it back with her fingers just like a man. Her first husband met a violent death down In Texas. After tbat for about twenty-five year she lived as tho wife of ex-Fire Mar Bhal Baker, of New York, and as Mrs Baker she raised a family. Baker had been married and had separated, but not actually divorced from his wife. The present Mrs Kase, when termed Mrs. Baker, developed a Spiritualistic craze and notorlously-fraudu lent mediums made her house in New York their headquarters and received every en couragement at her hands. She honestly believed in their truthfulness and honesty. Fatal Termination of a Knil. Scranton, August 13.

MATTER 18 ltKOUItllKI) AT WAS INdTON. WASHiNdTON, August 11. Tho town is all agog over tho reports in circulation con cerning tho afiair between Senator Conkling and ex-Senator Spraguo, at tho rcsidcnco of tho latter at Narragansctt Pier on Saturday, Washington gossip has for some time rolled under its tonguo tho sweet morsel of scandal afforded by tho apparent intimacy between Senator Conkling and Mrs. Kato Cliaso Spraguo, wife of cx'Scnator Spraguo of Rhodo Island. Tho reucontro betweon tho men at Narragansctt on Saturday lias given a now impetus to tho talk about tho relations between Senator Conkling and Mrs.SpraRue, It is now recollected how tho New York sen ator exerted himself to havo a bill passed through congress to get tho taxes on Mrs' Spraguo's country residence, 'Edgewood,' re duced : how during tho pendency of the bill Mrs. Spraguo was in tho habit of meeting Senator Conkling in his committee room (that of tho committee on commerce of which he was then chairman), and how that they were sometimes closeted in that room witl bolted doors ; how that Mrs. Spraguo would sit in the gallery and writo notes to tho sena tor of the Hyperion curls and how the sena tor would write replies, which interesting sen atonal Dy-piay so disconcerted tho reporters that they actually on several occasions missed important parts of the proceedings ; how that Mrs. Spraguo grow strangely pale and well nigh fainted in the gallery during the violent feccne between Conkling and Lamar at the last session, and how after it was over sho immediately sent a messenger to Conkling, who at onco wrote her a note ; how Conkling spent much of his time at Edgewood, and how tho senator was frequently seen driving Mrs. Spraguo behind his spanking pair of horses ; and much uioro of a similar nature, Tho story that tho difficulty between Conk ling and Spraguo originated in tho efforts of the former to prevent tho latter from chas tising tho German tutor of his (Sprague's) children finds few believers hero among thoso who havo been cloo observers of tho social side of senatorial life. They regard it as very thin disguise of tho truo 6tate of the case. Word was received hero to-day ironi Narragansctt Pier that ox-Senator Spraguo refuses to bo interviewed, saying, 'it is pure ly a family matter and tbo public can havo no possible interest in the affair.' Tbe Mormons. SUBSTANCE OF THE CIRCULAR SENT OUT BY THE STATE DEPARTMENT. The editorial comments of the London Timet on an American protest against Mor man emigration, sent by cable, were doubt less called forth by the circular dispatched to the governments of Great Britain, Ger many, Sweden and Denmark from the state department to the following effect : That under our statutes bigamy Is a crime in any of tbe territories of the United States, and that men or women destined for Utah go there with the intention and for the avowed purpose of violating this law; that by the act of July 1, 1SC2, every person having a husband or wife living who marries another, whether married or single, in territory or other place over which the United States has exclusive jurisdiction, is guilty of bigamy, and shall be punished by a fine of not more than $500 and by impris onment for a term of not more than five years. Beference is next made to existing obligations on the part of tho governments 'of these countries not to allow persons to depart trom their jurisdiction for the United otaies who are Known to nave criminal in tentions, and further explaining that all who come to this country for the purpose of affiliating with tho mormon church do so with tbe avowed intention of becoming criminals and subjecting themselves to the penalties of the criminal laws. Therefore the United States will consider it a friendly act on the part of tho governments of these nations if they will also regard the matter In this light. Attention is called to the large number of women who are induced to become emigrants, and who therefore aid and abet tbe crime of bigamy, aud to the principles of the mormon chuich, which re quires a plurality ol wives. J.ne uslonists or Lackawanna county held their convention Wednesday, and nom inated a decidedly 'mixed' ticket, the effort being particularly directed toward selecting candidates who would satisfy tho various elements of the combination. The princl pal interest attached to the contest for the Judgeship, in which Hon. F. D. Collins was Bucoessful. Much satisfaction Is felt over the defeat of Stanton. It is already announc ed tbat tbe latter will now organize a party ot his own, call convention and have bim self nominated, or if such a proceeding should be too tedious, to come out as an In dependent candidate. Stanton's friends say that be was defeated by tbe liberal use ot money j that a large number of delegates pledged to him, and elected In his Interest were corrupted by Collins' friends. Stanton undoubtedly has a considerable following in Lackawanna county, and It is not certain tbat he would not poll quite as large a vote as an independent candidate as Mr. Collins will as tbe nominee of the Combination or Fusion party. This campaign, ns it now stands, oilers a splendid opportunity to Stan ton to ascertain precisely how papular he Is. Mr, Collins Is wbat Is popularly called as a good fellow, but ho has no known fitness lor the position, as u lawyer. He would If elected, doubtless do the best he knew how but that Is not the kind of man the judiciary demands. Wtlkenbarre lUcord. WHITE BPTTKll IS SUMMER.

July 4, ts. 1 Tl the face of everything, Wanamaker & Brown increased their great Clothing business last year at Oak Hall nearly a quarter of a million dollars, anil for 1S79 the new plans will make the house more popular and increase the business much more. Eighteen years in the people's service at the old corner of Sixth" and Market has taught us how to do the business well. Whatever may be said, no house in the United States'seUVany-' thing hko so much Clothing at Retail as Oak Hall, and no house in l hiladelphia sells more than a quarter as many poods as Mr. Wanamaker sells in Clothlnu alone. Doing this large business shows the people's regard for our goods, and enables us to buy cheaply and sell at small profits. - New patterns have been made this year and ncvTstyleT intro? duced through Mr. Robert C. Ogdcn (formerly partner of the famous firm of Devlin & Co., New York), who is now associated with uak Hall, and will give his whole energies and valuable experience to improving the manufacture of our Hoys' and Men's Clothing. We do not buy Clothing like the dealers, but make it expressly for our own sales. The Spring stock is splendid, and no other make of goods, so far, have as much merit, or are fold as cheaply. 1 Impressions have been erroneously given to the effect that S ? i? imWa"am nfir' ,foundcd ?a Hall, is noHnfcreld in 1, Mre anJ 'i1?'
