THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER io, 1S96. The Democratic State convention will reassemble at Harrisburg to-day " for the purpose of nominating can didates for representatives-at-large and for presidential electors, when va cancies may exist by reason of resig nation or otherwise 1 and for the adoption of a platform in accordance with the principles declared by the National Democratic convention at Chicago." The delegates who attend ed the convention at Allentown will attend this convention. There is likely to be some friction, as Chair man Garnun has declared his inten tion not to permit the temporary chairman elected at Allentown, to preside. There is also a disposition on the part of many delegates to stand by the platform they unani mously voted for at Allentown. Just what the outcome will be, cannot be foreseen. Things are somewhat mix ed. Taken oat of Politics. Ten thousand employees under the War Department were classified in the civil service on the ist of Sept. in accordance with the sweeping order of the President of May 6 last, which extended the operations of the law to practically all Government employes, except those laborers whose work did not require any great amount of tech nical skill or intelligence above an ordinary degree. The delay in making the classifica tion in the War Department was due to the tremendous difficulty involved in includinc all those on the nav roll u - I j of the engineer s division, consisting 01 aDout 5000 persons employed in various capacities, some of temporary nature, on rivers and harbors improv ment at out-of the-way points through out the country. In many of these places the work goes on in summer only, and at others in winter only, but a provision has been inserted in the rules to permit the f urloughing without pay of efficient men, who can thus be re-employed without examination when operations are resumed within a year. The Civil Service Commission has also perfected arrangements whereby lists of eligibles are available hereafter for all vacancies that may occur. The sweeping effects of the order, as broadly interpreted by Secretary Lamont, to include even laborers who perform duties requiring a compara tively mediocre intelligence, is shown by the fact that in his own office but two persons, the confidential clerks of himself and Assistant Secretary Doe, remain outside of the classified lists, these being specially exempt from examination by law. Even the Chief Clerk of the Department and all heads of divisions are placed under protection of the civil service statute. A SURPRISED HUSBAND, Hit Wife Gave Birth to Four Children, the First Event ol in Kind in Connecticut. Mrs. O. H. Stickles increased ma terially the population of Strawberry Hill, Stratford, yesterday, giving birth to three girls and a boy. All are healthy and lusty. Mr. Stickles is a farmer. The fami ly lives in a small house. Mrs. Stickles, eight years ago, when she had been married two years, gave birth to twins. Mr. Stickles would not have been surprised had a similar event happened again yesterday, but he was hardly prepared for four more at once. With three others, who came into the world alone, as it were, there are now nine. Dr. George T. Lewis, who has been in attendance upon Mrs. Stickles was present. The case is said to be the first of the kind in the St!We. All the babies are under-sized. The heaviest, the boy, weighs seven pounds, while the' smallest, the last born, weighs five, and is the most delicate. The other two weigh about six pounds each, making the combin ed weight of the four twenty-four pounds. The parents are in robust health. Mrs. Stickles is an American, about 35 years old and of ordinary figure. Not quite two months before the election day, and if the poor of this country had the money, wisely used for their benefit, that will be burnea iqin the political campaign for those sixty days, they would have a much easier winter than they dare hope for now.

All the delegates manifested an extraordinary amount of zeal and held themselves in readiness to nPr. form any work that might be allotted to them. It was not all talk, either, as wis evidenced by the liberal subscrip tion which was made for State and County work. ANNOUNCEMENT. To the Voters and Taxpayers of Columbia County. I desire at this time to express my sincere thanks to the Democratic voters of Columbia County who so heartily supported me as a candidate for County Commissioner at the late Democratic delegate election, and in as much as the people of the south side have been deprived of their just representation on the Democratic ticket, I herewith announce my name as an Independent candidate for the office of County Commissioner, and respectfully solicit the support of all voters who believe in a fair distribu tion of this office among the people on both sides of the liver.
