THE WATCH COMPANY.
It Suiend8 Operations ler the Present.
The Lancaster watch factory closed its
doers last evening, and when the empleyes
went te work this morning they found
r.ctices en the doers that the factory would
net he opened, and that they would be
paid in advance of the usual pay-day, as
.scen as the pay-rolls could be made up.
The closing of the works is said te be
due te the financial embarrassment of Mr.
A. Bitncr, the heaviest stockholder in the
einpany, and the serious illness of his
hi ether, Mr. C. A. Bitner, who is the
second heaviest stockholder. Yesterday
morning Mr. A. Bitncr made an assign
ny nt of hi.-; property for the benefit of his
crediteis, as stated in yesterday's Intel Intel
i.ieKNcr.n In the afternoon a meeting of
the stockholders was held, and after full
discussion it wan deemed advisable te close
the works. The company employs about
250 hands, and the monthly pay roll aver
ages about $8,000. All these hands are
thrown out of employment, oxcept a few
inspectors and skilled workmen who will
be retained te finish up the watches
already under way.
We learn from a reliable source, that
the " plant" of the Lancaster watch com
I any, though net the largest, is the most
cjmpiute in the United States, and that
the watches manufactured are the best in
the United States or the world. But the
company is a young one, and its manufac
tares are net se well known as these of
elder factories, hence the company has
"d -n at disadvantage in competing with
eV.cr rivals. Its capital has been absorbed
i-j the erection and equipment of the fac
t.Miy and the manufacture of great number
ii watches for which there has net been
a tcady sale this market being dull during
the past year, net only here but all ever
the ceuntiy.
The capital stock of the company is
$228,000. held by 13 htockhelders, several
of whom have invested in it as much of
their fortune as they feel warranted in
doing, and it will lequire $50,000.er $100,
000 mere te set the factory fairly en its feet
and liberally advorlise its manufactures.
Whether this additional sum will be raised
depends en the capitalists if Lancaster.
If it is net, the plant will probably be
ip moved te sonic mero appreciative city.
Anether meeting of the stockholders
war. held this morning, but uoVlcfiuite pol
icy was agreed upon as te future action.

Seme time during Tuesday night burg

robbed it of $GC0 worth et goods. An ou eu ou
tiance was effected through a second story
window, the burglars climbing in above
the awning. They entered Mr. Danuer's
sleeping rcem which communicates with
the stere, and approaching his bed took
his pocket-book from his pecket, robbed
it of about $7 in money which it
contained, and replaced the pocket-book,
with some valuable papers, iu the pocket
from which they had taken it. They then
rppear te have descended te the stoic
i oeru, and stele from the shelves nearly a
dozen piecrs of silk and some ether valu
able goods. They broke a show-case and
stele therefrem, all the watches, jewelry,
silver and plated ware that was in it. There
wcre about a dezan watches in the case,
all of which were taken except one which
the thieves dropped and which was found
lying upon the fleer. The burglars broke
into the blacksmith shop of Mr. Gipple,
near by, arid stele therefrem a large chisel,
eighteen inches long and some ether tools,
used te break into 'the premises and force
open the show case. These tools they left
behind them.
Thus far theie has been no clue te the
thieves.

interview Wltli an Old Lancaster Aeronaut
We had the pleasure of a conversation
with our old townsman. Prof. Charles E.
Wise, te-day, and elicited the following
interesting information from him : He has
been at a summer resort below Baltimore
called "Tolchester Beach,"inKent county,
Md.,a Sunday school picnic ground, and an
absolute temperance place, comprising a
wharf landing and two houses, with a rich
agricultural country surrounding. He has
been there for seven weeks and in that
time has pnt up an apparatus
for the manufacture of hydrogen gag
comprising three tanks, one of which
holds 4,000 gallon?, the ether two 2,000
apiece, ana nas uccompesea 32,UUU gallons
of water by the additkmef 200 carboys of
vitrel, weighing en an average 170 pounds
each, 17 teDs iron turning;:, and from the
product made 150,000 feet of hydrogene
gas. He has made ever 100 ascensions 1,000
feet high at the end of a rope ; taken up
people from all parts of the country and
made two free ascensions, the last of
which was made en last Wednesday by his
son Jehn, the youngest aeronaut in Amer
ica, and Mr. Geerge Elliett, of Baltimore,
aged 78 yearp, the eldest man that ever
went up in a balloon fn the history of the
world their ages combined being 100
years, and by a singular coincidence that
being the exact age of the aeronautical
science. Ihey were accompanied by Mr.
Anten Dup'rez, an ambitious young man
of high flying proclivities. The start
was made promptly at five o'clock,
the wind being due south, which
would take them direct down the
bay. There was almost a dead caim, and
the ascent was superb, the hand playing
"Nearer My Ged te Thee,"the plaudits of
the multitude, and the majestic flight of
the aerial craft was semething unique in
that vast watered and weeded wilderness.
Being far from where such scenes are gen
erally enacted, it left an impression which
will never be forgotten. The huge craft
gradually mounted skyward until it had
attained an elevation of 12,584 feet, and a
temperature of 34P, when the aeronauts
thought they had better leek for a safe
landing. A view taken at this time cm
braced Baltimore, Annapolis, Wilmington,
the Delaware and Chesapeake bays, with
all the islands, inlets and projecting
shores for a space of 100 miles around.
They landed 40 miles from the starting
en a place known as Kent's island. Al
together the professor assures us it has
been the most successful ballooning that
has ever taken place here or in Europe and
that the company that has him engaged
has never stepped at any expense te make
everything safe and successful.

STATE CONVENTION.
i:
PRELIMINARY WOKK OF THE DAT,
McGrann of Lancaster, Prominent at S p. va.
for State Treaaarer A Larce and
Orderly Convention R. E. Wngnt,
el Northampton. Temporary
Chairman The Hesult Un
certain, pecial Dispatch te the Istkluekscer.
Harbisbube, Amc. 1. Precisely at 10
o'clock Chairman Heesel called tbe con
vention te order and read the list of pre
liminary officers agreed en by the state
committee at its meeting last night. He
invoked the forbearance of the convention
in the matter of inaccuracies in the pre
liminary work and ordered the roll call te
proceed. When Wyoming county was
reached the delegates offered te substitute
L. W. Buck, of "Bradford county. Chair
man Hensel asked if Mr. Buck lived in
Wyoming, and receiving a negative ans
wer, decided that no substitute oeuld be
made unless he resided in the district rep
resented by the absent delegate Senater
Hemer J. Humes, at the conclusion of the
roll call, nominated R. E. Wright, jr., of
Allentown, for temporary chairman.
R.E. James, of Northampton, moved that
he be elected by acclamation, which was
agreed te. The chair named Senater
Humes and Jue. H. Few te conduct the
temporary chairman te the chair, and en
assuming the gavel Mr. Wright made a
ringing speech. The preliminary officers
were continued during the temporary
organization.
Preliminary Werk.
Senater Biddis moved that the rules of
the Pennsylvania Heuso of Representa
tives govern the convention, which was
agreed te and Senater Hess moved that
committees en credentials, organization
and resolutions be named and that all
resolutions be referred te the committce
en resolutions without debate, which was
likewise adopted. A motion te take a re
cess was amended, making the hour of
reassembling at one p. m. The amend
ment was rejected by a division vete of
175 te 178, and the original motion agreed
te.
lUcQrann l'romlneutfor State Treasurer.
There is no certainty as te the result of
the afternoon session. The treasury nomi
nation lies between Powell, MacRcyneldr.
and McGrann. There seems te be a drift
in favor of Powell new, but the least
swerve is likely te divert it te McGrann,
and the indications point te that result.
Wliltman nnd Itlcler Lcadluc for Auditor
tieneral.
Fer auditor general Turuy is out of the
field and the issue seems te lie between
Whitman, of Eric, and Bigler, of Clear
Geld. Bigler is here and says he "doesu't
want it," and Whitman is away
and doesn't want it, lmt there are point
ers that indicate that ene or tbe
otber will ba chosen. A boom was started
for Stranahan, of Mercer, but his iccenl
en thn liquor question seems te intcrfcre
te his injury. It is almost certain that the
convention will declare against sumptuary
laws and Stranahan's record in the Lcgis Lcgis
ture and ent of it would ceme in eer.llieL
with such a platform.
The ltesult Uncertain.
Nobody ha3 the convention at this time,
and this afternoon will show a frce for all
contest that will be as fair as it premises
te preve uncertain.
TlIK CONVENTION.

Associated Press.
Haiuusbukcs, Aug. 1. Theia is appar
ently mero interest taken in the Demo
cratic convention than at the one held by
the Republicans last month . There is :.
large attendance, due te the fact thai tin
number of delegates is much larger than
in previous conventions.
The Convention Assembled
The convention assembled at 10:15 and
was called te order by Chairman Ilensi I
in a few remarks. The list of delegate-!
was called and for the firfct time iu many
years no contested seats were announced.
It. K. Wright, et Lbblgti County, . e rneraiy
Cbuirniitn.
Rebert O. Wright, of Lehigh ceuuty,
was chosen temporary chairman by ac
clamatien, together with the necessary
officers for the transaction of the pre
liminary business. Aiter bein: conducted
te the chair and retuininjr his thanks for
the honor conferred, Mr. Wright stated
that this was the first time in a quarto - or a
century that a Democratic) convention m t
when all the state officers, with but u sia
gle exception, were filled by Democrats.
lie further said that all the premises of
reform made ptcbumably by the party Iiail
been faithfully cairicd out. He paid a
high tribute te the governor, alluding te
him a3 ' supeib executive. The speech
was received with centiuued applauru A
resolution that the committee of creden
tials, permanent organization and resolu
tions consist of ene delegate fiem each
congressional district, te be named by the
delegates, was adopted and the ctmvcv
tien adjourned until 2 o'clock.
A Harmonious Convention.
The convention is very harmonious .'.ml
indications point te the transaction et
the business with dispatch.
Rebert E Jarae?, of Northampton, wl.l
likely be selected as permanent chairman
The Platform.
The committee en resolutions pie.cut- :1
the following report, which was unani
meusly adopted as the platform.
The Democracy of Pennsylvania, tii!
tothe fundamedtal faith of their party, rea :
sert their belief iu a strict construction and
rigid enforcement of the federal constitu
tion. They upheld the sanctity of pcrFen
al liberty, the security of private ptep?rty
and the rights of local self government.
They believe in that genuine anl
deep reaching civil service reform, which
consists in the election te effice ei'
honest, intelligent, capable and ceur
ageeus public servants, who will
faithfully administer their trust, and who
will be held te strict accountability
for such a discharge of it, am!
who will redeem and purge the de
partments of the general government
from that corruption and fraud with which
they have been permeated under Republi
can rule and which that party has she irn
itself unable and unwilling te eradicate
They believe iu such taxation of the pne
pie as is requislte for the necessities of
the government economically administer
cd.and that import duties should ba se ad
justed in their application as te prevent
unequal burdens, 'encourage productive
industries at home and afford just com
pensation te labor, but net te create or
fester moneplies.
They denounce the preposition of the Ue
pablican party, that the people should te
taxed te raise a surplus fund for
the federal government te distribute
among the states. The psople should
only be taxed se much as is absolutely
indispensable for the frugal conduct
of their affairs ; net one cent for
surplus and no unnecessary taxation.
The existing surplus in the treasury
should be faithfully applied te the
payment of the public debt. The
money net needed for the expeuses
of the government should remain
iu the pockets of the people. " Te this
end we favor the abolition of
the present system of internal taxation ns
a measure of relief demanded by the peo
ple from an unnecessary and unequal bur
den." They demand that the government
should redeem all its express and implied
obligations as te the coinage. thatit shall
maintain and defend the dignity of Ameri
can labor and the rights of American citi
zens at home and abroad..
They insist in reserving the pnblie lands
for actual settlers ; net another acre for cor
porations, and they farther declare that
first, the administration of Gov. Pattison
has vindicated the pledges of re
form upon which it was elected."
ana 111s upright,
courageous exercise
power desexves the
intelligent and
of the executive
unqualified appre -
batien of his
people of the
party and of the.
commonwealth : 2d,
the economy enforced by the Democratic
Heuse of Representatives and in the
department of the state government
which' have passed under Democratic
control, and the abolition of useless
offices that were a burden upon
the people, give assurance that
the extension of that control te ether
departments of the state government
will be accompanied by real reforms upon
the extravagance and irregularities which
have prevailed under the Republican ad
ministration ; 3rd, the public moneys are
for public uses and all appropriations
should be the subjects of rigid
scrutiny te the end that these
uses may ba served without personal or
local favoritism waste or peculation ;
4tb, The long continued abuses and
spoliation of the state treasury, and the
deGance el law by its rnauagoment ruaka
essential a radical reform, se that large
funds should nut be accumulated
by taxation of the people te be distributed
among the favored depositories of state
officials, but that all surplus in excess of
the immediate necessity of the state gov
ernment shall be invested in interest bear
ing state or federal securities, until it may
be applied te the extinguishment of the
state debt: 5th, The demand of the dem
ocratic senators and representatives ter
an honest, just and true apportionment
is in accord with the letter and
spirit of the constitution and with thn
rights and interests of every section and
of all the poeplo 01 the state. The shame -less
determination of the Republicans
ever the Legislature te maintain the
the present dishonest, unjust nnd uutrne
apportionment of the state by their
refusal te accede te any fair pre
position, is a denial te the poeplo
of their right te a fair and equal represen
tation. We commend the governor for
convening the extra session te enforce
obedience te the law. We coun
sel the Democratic members of
the Legislature te cectitfle te insist
upon that ehedicrcc. The cost in money
is net te Iu weighed against the
cost of :v broken constitution
violated duty of the denial of thn
rights of the pcojde ; (5"b, The long
continued immunity from punishmtut
for peliticial and ether crimes
which offenders enjejed under Ka
publican control of the pardon beaid
lias been terminated by tlia election
te that body of Democrats who have re
gard for their oaths and duties, and
who exercise lh"ir responsible ofliee
without fear, favor or affection ; 7tb,
the KJih and 17th articles of this
state constitution regulating priva'.u
corporations, railroads and canals, are
the supreme lav. of the commonwealth
governing them, and these prevision.!
of the law should Jbi enforced within full
meaning by app.epriate legislation.
