the committee, and now a majority of
the committee have signed a call for a
meeting on the 26th to make up the
roll. The Record says:
Meanwhile the Quay lieutenants
here are talking about the probable
consequences of the State Chairman's
positive stand against the movement
to have the roll of delegates prepared
by the committee and to provide for
such policing of the hall as would pre-
vent the place from being packed with
the shouters of one faction. There are
about 120 members of the State
mittee, the basis of representation
ing two from each of the 50 Senatorial
districts, except where a district in-
cludes more than counties, in
which case there is one member from
each county. At least 80 of the State
Committeemen are claimed to be sup-
porters of Quay in this contest. The

the moment the permanent chairman
of the coming State Convention takes
the chair, the State Committee, by
whose rulings or implied assent all of-
ficial actions of the State chairman
must be governed.
Hence it is declared that Col. Gil-
heson, in denying the right of the com-
~mittee to change the way
of preparing the roll delegates,
matter upon which there is no rule, ar-
rogates to himself the powers of the
body whose servant he is, and virtual-
ly declaies that he is the committee,
Consequently if he shall persist in ig-
noring the call signed by 37 members
for a meeting of the committee, it
declared that that body will ignore
him on Monday before the convention
by meeting in the Lochiel Hotel and
taking the necesgary precautions
against a doctored roll and a hall pack-
ed in the interest of Gilkéson.
This controversy suggests
thought that if Col. Gilkeson and his
backers shall resist the committee's
taking matters into his own hands,
unprecedentedly disagreeable, and per-
haps exciting, ocenrrences may follow,
among the possibilities being rival
Btate Conventions and rival State
committees and chairmen. It is also
intimated that circumstances might
prompt an appeal to the Dauphin
county court to compel compliance, in
the roli and hall arrangements, with
the decision of the State Committee,

census of 1800, installed in the envia-

Wheels not to be Cheaper,
Some one recently informed the pub-
lic through the press that bicycles
would be reduced in price over one
half next season, claiming that one
firm would put four or five hundred
thousand on the market at $30 each.
The best information we have on this
subject comes to us through the pa-
pers published in the interest of bicy-
cle dealers, and they all deny the re-
port of wheels being cheaper. It is
quite well known that the material
that goes into the make-up of a wheel
is practically controlled by a few firms,
and they are not endangering their
business by reducing the price when
the wheels are in such great demand.
Wheels in "96, therefore, are not like
ly to be much cheaper than at present.

eighty-four. His childran were eleven
in number. Of them, one died at the
age of eleven. When the next death

the ten was sixty-five years old. There
were four sons whose names were Ja-

1814 daughters of John Holt, one of the
pioneers in Boggs township. In 1818
Jacob moved to Spring township, and
occupied as a renter land owned by
John G. Lowrey, and first improved
by Philip Shreek. This land was sur-
veyed cn Samuel Bimpson's applica-
tion of April 3, 1760 and in 1810 Mr.
Lowrey built upon it the house now
occupied by John H. Barnhart. Ja-

and pushed his way bravely on in the
