It remained for a Pennsylvania conven tion, a small one indeed, hut perhaps only the iorerunner of others to lead the way and declare that a Pennsylvania man should oc cupy the "White House, thus really firing the opeuing gun for one of the most important political contests in the history of the United States. The convention was a Democratic one and the man ho was in dorsed for the highest office in the land is none other than Governor Robert E. Patti son. An Emphatic Sound From Clarion. The rock-rihhed Democrats of Clarion county, who are so firmly joined to their idol"; that even when Pcunsylvania went liepnhlican by 80,000 they gave a majority of 1,000 for Grover Cleveland, yesterday as I senibled in convention to name a county ticket and transact such business as might come before the body. The attendance was large and enthusiastic. Incidentally and before the striking event of the day, the convention adopted the popular vote system championed by Hon. A. "W. Sniley, who acted as Chairman, and nominated Jesse Kiehl for Sheriff! "W. L. Corbctt, delegate to the Constitutional Con vention of 1872, was nominated as a candi date for the Constitutional Convention pro i Med for by the last legislature, and then came the feature of the meeting. The Com mittee on Resolutions reported the follow ing, which was received with every demon stration of approval: Text of the Resolution.

As soon as the cheers which greeted the mention of Pattison's name in connection with the Presidency had died away the reso lutions were adopted by a unanimous vote, and the young Governor of the Keystone State had the honor of receiving tho first official indorsement for tho campaign of 1S92. A talk w ith the leaders after the convention i-howed that while the action had been un premeditated it was none the less earnest, and they seemed to think that unless Sir Pattibon hlmsclt disapproved of the move ment nothing could prevent him having a solid delegation from Pennsylvania to tho National Convention of next year. Tho Governor Pleaded, Bnt Diplomatic As soon as tho tidings of the action of tho Clarion County Comention were received au effort was made to secure an expression from the occupant of the executive chair. Asa result tho following telegram was re ceiv ed from Harrisburg at midnight: Governor Pattison and his cabinet wero working to-night -with their coats off in eilorts to get rid of the legislation before them. While in the midst of his labors The Dispatch correspondent was granted an audience with the Governor on the subject of tho action of the Clarion'County Demo cratic Convention in indorsing him for the Presidency. The Governor was surprised to hear of the partiality of his political friends in Clarion county, having had no informa tion of it except through tho medium of The DisrATcn. lie was asked w hethcr ho had anything to say concerning the matter and promptly replied that lie was too much immersed in Pemisj lvaula legislation to Justify him in siying anj thing as to tho in dorsement given him. The Governor looked pleased, lion ever. Xothlng further could be obtained from him, and he soon was in con lerence again with Secretary JIarrity, At torney General Hensel and Adjutant General McClelland. Opinions of Pittsburg Democrats. Fittbburg Democrat, do not attach partic ular importance to tho Clarion county de claration in favorof Pattisou for "92. Tho gen eral opinion of the rank and file of the Dem ocracy seen lust night was that the Clarion county people had some especial reason for desiring to compliment the Governor, and so went on record as championing him for the Presidental nomination, and that Patti son as ngiunst Clevelind should not bo named on the same hemisphere. Those gentlemen who are regarded as set ting the pace for opinion and action in the Democratic camp, were not visiblo at usual resorts last night. Hut among those with whom a Dispatch reporter conversed Mas Judge Rainscj , w ho said: "I regard the action of the Clarion county people as merely m tho light of a compliment tendered to Pattisou. lie has no possiblo chance of carrj nig tho tac, which w ill go solidly for Cleveland. Of that there is no doubt." 'Squire Larkin remarked that Pattison was undoubtedly a very strong man and would lmve plenty of followers. For his part he was for Cle eland, and ho thought general sentiment w ould be directed in his favor. 1 onijWallace said he attached no import- anco to the convention's notion. Pennsyl vania could not make a President anyway. As far lis Pattison was concerned, Governor Campbell, of Ohio, should he bcatMcKin ley, would fco as string a man.as Pattison, if not stronger.

An Eastern politician who carefully sizes "up tho political situation was ,in tho city yesterday and says that John W. Morrison v ill have an easy fight for Stato Treasurer. He also declares that John Robinson, of Philadelphia, will beat JohnDalzell for tho Chairmanship of the State Republican League three to one. Ho explained this by saying that as the convention Is to bo held in Scranton, away from tho central roads, there will be but a light representation from the West, while all the Eastern counties w III be represented and w ill Javor Robinson. He said John DalzvU was not making a light, which would also tend to decrease the Western delegation. Yesterday tho Allegheny county delegates to the Republican Stato Convention met In Chief Brown's office. Senator Flinn was elected Chairman of the delegation. The following resolutions were adopted: Whereas, The friends and comrados of Captain John W.

Among the country editors at the Union depot last evening going to the Quaker Citv were E. W. Smiley, of Franklin, Chief Clerk of the Senate, E. T. Acheson, of the Washington Obsener, and Robert McKee, of Indiana county. Mr. Smiley laughs at the club light between Dal zcll and Jack Robinson. He sav s there are lolltical clubs in the oil country, rat tho people deprecate a contest. Mr. Sniuev thinks that clubs are a nuisance, and present a good plan to throw nway money for nothing. In his section the school districts are organized and they woik for votes, not glory. The peoplo will stay with Sneaker Thompson for Stato Treasurer, if ne is a candidate. Mr. Smiley said also that the last Legis lature had passed a number of bills that aimed at specific objects underthe guise of general. They have been slaughtered, as thev should bo, by the Governor, but ho finds faults with Mr. Pattison's free use of the veto. Charges Pattison "With Contempt. He thinks the Governor in many instances has shown his contempt for tho Legislature, and looks for reasons to kill n measure rather than find something good to recom mend it. This is against tho spirit of the Constitution, lie claims his reasons lor vetoing the compulsory educational bill wero ridiculous. The same law works very well in at least six States, andit would have been satisfactory in Pennsylvania. Mr. Acheson said only ono Republican club existed in Washington county, and that is in Mononguhela City. Ho didn't know that clubs were being organized in the interest of Dalzell.

The harmony that was such a noticeable feature of the 1 arm ers' Alliance when they made such a clean sweep in Kansas last November was appa rently too conspicuous a feature of the new party to be of any long duration, and dis cord has already taken hold and threatens its complete annihilation before the dawn of another political struggle. In every county where tho Alliance has nominated candidates for office thus lar there has been a wrangle, with tho invariable result of a split-up, the defeated faotions inimediately withdrawing from the party and declaring their Intention of returning to ono of the old parties, and the Leavenworth County Alli ance is in this kind of a predicament at present. There arc many reasons to be assigned for this inharmonious sentiment, cbiet among w hick seems to bo a lack of good leadership. Again, there is a score ot candidates for eerj office, and upon failing to receive po litical recognition, immediately bolt or nom inate separate tickets.

An incident at tho Pon sonby wedding to-day is commdnted on as proving that whatoverdifferences may havo existed between the Queen and Prince of Wales on account of the baccarat scandal they have been removed and mother and son are onoe more on most cordial terms. As soon as Her Majesty was seated in or on tho throne-like gilded chair provided for her, she caught sight of tho Prince and family opposite, and smiled beaminglyr Then, as if noticing the eagerness with which the audience scrutinized hor de meanor, sho toso, with some difficulty, as usual, and trotted or hobbled across in front of the altar to where Wales' tribe sat As Bho did so sho held out her hand, and the Prince, who had arisen and stopped forward to meet his royal mother, stooped and kissed the hand of the Queen with a smack that could ho heard all over tho ohapel. , Tho Queen and Prince remained chatting to gether for several moments, the audienco watching tho interview with the greatest of interest.

Your correspondent saw so eminent guests as Mrs. Gladstone and Sir William Vcr-non-Hnrcourt compelled to go with out seats.

Tho wrangle be tween little and big official grew quite warm before a passing dignitary interceded nnd persuaded Cerberus that theie was no mis take about tho identity of tho Chamberlain. The scene in chapol was a rarely brilliant ono, gorgeous trappings of Scot's guards showing well against the daintier coloring of tho finer' displayed by tho ladies. There was much chattering and snickering and flirting whilo the audience wero waiting for tho event of the season. A bejewoled countess amnsed herself by pinching the arm of a stalwart piper as sho passed him, but ho managed to retain his military aplomb and oven to look bored. The bride's dress contained muoh yellow, in compli ment, no doubt, of tho color of the regi ment's shoes and stockings. Another Card Scandal in Italy.

The proof was sufficient to satisly tho officers of the club, and the offender, Lieutenant Ricciardi, was expelled and handed oyer to the police. SENSATIONAL LIBEL SUIT.

Lasserro moved that the Gov ernment explain why it so long delayed tho prosecution of tho culprits in thomellnlto scandal and why tho trial was conducted with closed doors. M. do Freycinet, Minister of War, re sponded that as far back as 1S89, he insti tuted nn inquiry into the relations existing between Turpin nnd Tripone, and he found that an open trial might lead to disclosures which it would be inconvenient for the War Office to make.

Two Miners Tear -Each Other Pieces in a Biting Match. to TERRIBLY DISGUSTING CONTEST, That TVa3 Only Stopped "When One's Jaw "Was Almost Torn Out. THE BEETAIr FIGHT "WIIL BE RENEWED . SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH, Shamokix, Pa., June 22. Tho cruel and novel contest between Patrick Ryan and James Levitt, hardy young miners, on a dancing pavilion in West Coal township at an early hour to-day puts to blush any prize fight over occurring in this part of the State. It was a "biting match" to tho finish, each man sinking his teeth into tho other's face, arms and neek until the spectators, tiring of tho savage scene, tore tho combatants apart and carried them home. For months intense jealousy has existed between Ryan and Lovitt over the latter's wife, and Saturday being payday for tho miners, caused each man to drink a suf ficient amount of whisky to render them in fighting mood. Meeting in a saloon, Ryan uttered insulting remarks relative to Levitts wife, when the latter hit him on the mouth. Friends separated them. Then Lovitt told Ryan that they would fight with bare knuckles, London prizo ring rules, until ono or the other would bo knocked out, and after that all enmity should ceaso. Fighting Was Too Tame. Each man being scionced, and agreeing to fight right off was the means of attracting about 300 men to tho ring. Tho princi pals stripped to tho waist, and after seconds nnd timekeepers had been chosen, the referee called time. Three rounds were fought, when Ryan said: "Levitt, this Is too tame. Wo are not hurting each other enough to suit me. Let's havo a biting match, out, hands to be tied behind our backs." Levitt wouldnot consent until Ryan accused him of being a coward. This was too much for tho Englishman's blood, and he agreed. There had been a dance early in the even ing, and on tho orchestra stand was found a piece of rosin, which was powdored and then rubbed over the lips and face and In the mouths of the principals. Quick as time was called Levitt rushed at Ryan and dropped on his knees. The latter bent ovor to bite his opponent, when Levitt, by a quick movo, sank his teeth deep Into Ryan's neck. This startled tho latter, who shrieked with pain and rage. Following Up tho attack Levitt's molars next found lodgement in tho forehead of tho bleeding man, when tho round closed. A Terribly Disgusting Spectacle. After two minutes Intermission, tho men responded promptly to the call of the re feree. Ryan's eyes blazed with fury. He did tho rushing all through tho round nnd severely punished Levitt, who was fighting cautiously and to gain wind. The ensuing six rounds were savage and sensational, tho men resorting to all kinds of maneuvers in order to bury their teeth in the softest and most vulnerable parts. It was with difficulty that the bleeding and lacerated principals responded to time in the tenth and last round. They were fairly soaked with blood, gushing from the innumerable wounds, and presented a disgusting spectacle. Levitt was the weakest of tho two, and when Ryan butted him In the abdomen and knocked him down and then deliberately bent over tho prostrate man and tore the lowor part of his Jaw almost out, the by standers rushed upon them and dragged them apart. They are now under tho doc tor's care, but claim as soon as they are ablo to, the fight will be continued, as each man claims to havo had the best of it. OLD HUTCH IN NEW Y0EK.

A ROYAL MESSENGER DISAPPEARS 7 'AjTDUSLY ON HIS mp Jo It Is Supposed That Assassa Pnt nn Tnil rt TTlm In TT,.r li. 1-1... TTna Tna . nn,n ... Tl fV -. -I "ri5 AUO OlUXJ UH. VUSI. UWMIO .V ,- Is Sensational. ss. V Chicago, June 22. A royal messenger bearing important dispatches sent from Tokio, by tho Czarewltch to the Czar of Russia, has mysteriously disappeared, it is said, while en route from San Francisco to New York. The fact has been kept a secret and it U not certain that tho Russian Gov ernment is yct'aware of it. G. Naterman, a member of the firm of Grosser & Co., of Yokohama' and London, was on the same Faclflo mail steamer which brought tho messenger to this country, and told of tho disappearance for tho flrst time to-day at the Palmer Honso, where he and a number of well-known German and English merchants of Japan and China registered on their way from Yokohama to Europe. According to Mr. Naterman's account tho messenger intended making no stops, leav ing San Francisco for the East on the day of his arrival there. Xear Denver, how over, a wreck delayed his train and ho stoppod over night in that city. Ho never resumed tho journey and has not been seen since. There are many reasons causing his steamor acquaintances to believe that the young Russian has met a violent death at the hand of Japanese enemies of the Czarewltch. The most important of these Is tho hitherto unpublished truth regarding the attack upon tho life of tho Czarewltch. Mr. Xater man was in Tokio at tho timo, and states that tho truth was never mado known be cause it showed too plainly the vicious char actor of even the highest class of the Japanese people. The attack was not made, he says, because tho Russian had desecrated a sacred temple. Tho Czarewltch had ac cepted an invitation to visit a great noble at Tokio. On the way there he yielded to tho importunities of another noble to visit him before reaching Tokio. nis host at the latter city received this as an Insult and his desiro for revenge stopped at nothing, it is alleged, not oven the murder of his royal facst. An assassin was therefore hired to 111 tho Czarewltch, and the resulting at tempt was given to the world as the deed of a religious fanatic. From "every stopping placo tho Czarewltch sent duplicate dis patches to his father by three trusted, mes sengers, Who took the mot opposite routes. One of thescu immediately after1 the at tempted assassination, was sent to St. Peters burg by way of the United States. The theory advanced by Mr. Naterman and his friends 13, that tho authorities, in a weak at tempt at continuing tho deception regarding the affair, have intercepted and put out of the way all the messengers supposed to bear news of tho truth.

THE HEBOIC ATTEMPT AT RESCUE Which Was Bespohsible for the Sad Fate of Two of the Victims. AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY. IN MOURNING SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TOE DISPATCH. Washington, Pa., Juno 22. One of the saddest accidents In the history of Washing ton occurred at Doak's park, one mile cast of this place last evening. Three small boys, named Walter Jones, John McKeown and John Chnulis were bathing in the pond at the park when all wero drowned in the deep water before assistance arrived. It seems that young Chaulis had leaped off tho spring board thoy had erected there, in tending to take a dive, as they had often done before. Ho must have struck a stone or snag on the bottom, for ho did not risa again, and McKeown bravely leaped into tho rs.l'water to save his drowningfriend. McKeown seized cnauns, uut in some manner Dccama embarrassed in swimming, his arms prob ably being fettered by htj half-uncdnsclous friend. Still Another to the Rescue. When Waltor Jones saw that McKeown also was sinking ho, too, without a moment's hesitation, plunged after the two. When he reached his struggling and strangling friends he found it impossible to bring them to shore in safety, but rather than abandon them the little hero clung to his friends, and all sank together never to rise alive. When the news of the drowning reached this place it seemed as if everybody in tho city was directly affected by tho ternblo oc currence, and hundreds gathered at the park, whero searchers soon found the bodies of the three little fellows, clasped In each others' arms, at tho bottom of tho 16-foofc pond. John McKeown was tho son and namesaku of the late millionaire oil king of that namo, and young John Chaulis was a grandson of the dead millionaire, while Walter Joncfc was the younger son of Rev. J. F. Jones, Pre siding Elder of this district of tho Metho dist Episcopal Chnrch. Tho llttlo fellows ranged from 8 to 13, and it would have been hard to pick out three boys whose sudden and untimely deaths would so greatly affeci. a large portion of the town. Friends Frantic With Grief. The parents of the children are frantio. with grief, while tho mother of young Mc Keown is heartbroken, owing to the tact that horhnsband, who died not many months ago, had been especially careful of and proud of his little son, and by his will had made provisions that ho was to inherit mil lions of his father's money when ho came of age. The three little fellows were close friends, and had often bathed in Doak's pond, and were thought to bo excellent swimmers for lndsoftbeir age. This town is virtually in mourning to night, tuf tlMtboy were known andIked by everybody, and "tho thought is especially bitter to tho parents that two such heroio lives should have been 'sacrificed in a vain attempt at rescue. There were no persons in tho immediate vicinity when tho boyg drownqd, and when assistance finally ar rived, there was nothing but their clothes on the banks, and the dead bodies of the brave boys themselves that told the sad story. This city Is fllled to-night with graduates, alumni students and their friends, and it was; intended that the commencement exercises of Washington and Jefferson College this year should far excel anything of the kind before attempted. So genuine is tho sorrow, however, and so hearty the sympathy ex" tended even by visitors to the bereaved families, that it is altogether likely that many portions of the proposed programme will be modified, if not entirely abandoned.
