THE W0r.K OF THE CLUB CONVENTION ISrECIXt. TELIGEXM TO TH DIRPATCn.1 Scexstox, Sept. 20. This morning there was a lively influx of enthusiastic Democrats. Every incoming train brought fresh instalments, and probably 400 were in their seats when President Cbauncey F. Black rapped for order in the pretty little Academy of Music. There were no decora tions, and no effort was made to fill seats in the galleries, so the spectators were few and business was despatched in double quick time. Among the more distinguished ar rivals of the morning were Attorney Gen eral Hensel, James M. Beck and City Chairman AVilhere, ot Philadelphia, John A. Ward and a small army ot lesser lights. In calling the convention to order. Presi dent Black congratulated those present en the gratifying growth of the association, urged the expansion of the club system for political discussion, and especially for in struction of voters on the somewhat com plicated ballot law, aud stirred up the en thusiasm of the bovs br confidently pre dicting the election of Cleveland and Stevenson, lie then introduced Common Pleas Court Judge F. W. Gnnster, ot Scranton, who formally welcomed the visitors in a really fine speech. Philadelphia Accused of Hogging It. Congressman Lemuel Ainennan was chosen Temporary Chairman. John J. 51a loney offered a resolution providing for the appointment of a committee of nine to pre pare the permanent organization of the con vention, and it w as adopted, but a Berks county deputy thought it was to provide a committee to select the 11 delceates-at-large to the coming National convention at Xew York, and he moved a reconsideration of the vote. He insisted that Philadelphia , was trying to get the best of the conven tion, and great excitement followed. Mr. Maloney attempted to explain, but vas not allowed to, and a dozen delegates clamored for recognition. Hisses were mingled with cheers, when one countryman thouted that Philadelphia had better settle her own disgraceful Pactional fights before trying to dictate to a State bodv. Hot speeches were made by Senator Green, It. Jjnes Monaghan, George II. Hoflman and r dozen others, but as a result Mr. Ma loney's motion was reconsidered and the .Batter left to the Committee on Resolu tions. The Several Committees Appointed.

A handsome oil portrait of Grover Cleve land was presented, through President Black, to the Central Democratic Club, of Scranton, by the artist, J. H. Shaw, of Philadelphia.

GENERAL WEAVER'S DENIAL Of the Charges of Brutality Brought Against lllm In Gcorgla-It Is a General One, and Doesn't Answer the Affidavits In the Case. "Way Cross, Ga., Sept. 20. General Weaver, Third party candidate for Presi dent, made his first speech in his campaign in Georgia at this placo to-day. General Weaver and party were escorted to the Opera House by the County Committee of the Third party. The crowd numbered barely 500, 200 of wbom were negroes, who occupied the gallery. GeneralvWeaver spoke abont one hour. He first told of bis recent trip out West and the enthusiastio manner in which he had been received in all Western States. Ac cording to General Weaver's account his trip through the West was a continued ovation and he predicted that almost all of those States, Western, Southwestern and Northwestern would go for Weaver and Field. A large number of copies of the Atlanta Journal, containing a lull page article on Weaver's career in Pulaski, Tenn., with affidavits to his brntality and outrages while commander of the post there, had been distributed in the town in the morn ing. General Weaver addressed the chief portion of his speech to replying to these charges. He denounced them All as un qualifiedly false and circulated merely for campaign purposes. He denied that he had levied assessments upon wealthy citizens of Pulaski while in command of the post there and converted the money to his own use. He said that a number of Southern refojrees, destitnte of all necessaries of life, had fled to Pulaski, and that by order of General Dodsre. commanding the division. he levied an assessment upon the wealthy residents of the town to be devoted to the maintenance of the refugees. The money, he said, never came into his hands, but was turned over to the Commissary General, Cyrus Carpenter, and by him distributed to the refusees. The cbarce that he lias shot down horses, cattle and the pigs of citizens for his own use he denied, saying that he had a good boarding house and did not need to shoot down private property in this manner; that he had robbed the citizens of Pulaski of supplies and provisions for which they were never paid, he also denied. General Weaver made the same explanation of this that he has made before, viz, that when the Union army entered Pulaski it was in need of supplies of all kinds. By order of Gen eral Dodge he ordered the soldiers to take possession pf all supplies needed, giving vouchers for the same. Every one of these vouchers was afterward paid, be said. General Weaver did not undertake to an swer in detail charges made against him in the Journal, and did not enter into particu lars of any numerous charges made against him by ci'tizens of Pulasti above their own signatures aud sworn to by them before a magistrate. General Weaver made a gen eral appeal to those present to bury issues of the past and join together with their for mer foes in opposition to the money power in the North. A GE0VEE CLBV2LAND CAMPAIGN To Be- Conducted in Massachusetts by the Democrats This Fall. BOSTOX, Sept 20. Spicial It is, understood that the Democrats of Massa chusetts will pitch their battle this year on the highest elevation in the political landscape. It is to be a Grover Cleveland campaign. All other issues are to be made subsidiary to his elec tion. The talk beard abroad of electing a Democratic Governor, while at the same time conceding the election of Republican Presidentil electors, does not reflect the purposes ot 4he Democratio managers. Least of all does it represent the wishes of William E. Russell. The Governor believes that no Democrat is as strong with the people of Massachusetts as Mr. Cleveland, and the votes cast in November, he is persuaded, will justify this belief But, whether right or wrong in this view, it is cer tain that no man will labor with greater earnestness to place Mr. Cleveland at the head of the Demo cratic poll The Democrats will not ignore State issues, especially it their opponents see fit to make them prominent, but the argument and the inspiration of the cam paign will come from another source. This is not to be a campaign of personali ties, but that does not mean that the char acters of the men who are candidates for the suffrages of the people are not to be exam ined in the light of public duties of official service. AN OHIO DISTEICT IS DANGEE. Republicans Getting Anxious About the Way llarter Is Working. Columbus, O., Sept 20. Special. The chairmen ot the county committees in the Fourteenth Congressicnsl district and the chairman of the Republican district com mittee, as well as E.G. Johnson, of Lorain county, the candidate for Congress, held a meeting here to-day in consultation with Chairman Dick relative to what shall be done to save the district for the Repub licans. It was reported f hat Mike Barter has established a headquarters with a large number of clerks and that he is entering upon the contest in a manner which will win unless the Republicans make a har monious and energetic effort. There is some feeling in the district against Mr. Johnson, and the impression is given out that what is known as the Sher man and Foraker men are not actinz for the best interests of the candidate. The dis trict was designed for Speaker Laylin, but when the time came for the convention Mr. Johnson, who was a professed Foraker man, was nominated. M'KINLKY TO WOEK IN OHIO.

A War of Words Between the Faction! Conducted on the Quiet. STAKS AND BTEIPES TO BE TE0TECTJD rSPTCIAL TFLEOBASI TO THI DISPATCH. 1 New Yokk, Sept. 20. The examination to determine whether Francisco Gonzales, who was arrested on Saturday, charged with a violation of the neutrality laws in load ing the steamship South Portland, lying in the upper bay, with arms and ammunition for the use of the Venezuelan insurgents, should be held for trial was continued to day before United States Commissioner Alexander. Dr. Jose A. de Gaiarrago, of 72 Fifth av enue, was called to show that there is a well-organized committee of'the insurgents in this city, who are watching for oppor tunities to forward munitions of war to Venezuela to help the insurgents. Dr. Gaiarrago testified that be had been a resi dent of this city about three years and a half, and that he had known Gonzales for about a month. He apparently surprised the Venezuelan Minister, Senor Bolet Per oza, and Secretary Bolet, of the Consulate, by saying that he knew nothing of the move ments of the committee and could not con nect Gonzales with it An Animated Tripartite Conference. When he had left the stand Minister Perazaand Secretary Bolet it cut to where Dr. Gaiarrago was sitting, and an animated conversation took place between the three men. Their faces were flushed and they gesticulated angrily. Lawyer Raegener.of the defense, went over to the group and in vited Dr. Gaiarrago to leave it, offering him a chair near the lawyers table. Suddenly Lawyer Raegener quitted the group, and hurrying to the lawyers' table, extended his band toward Commissioner Alexander and said: "I desire to claim the protection of this court This Secretary of Legation says that he will slap me in tho mouth." Then he pointed angrily toward Secretary Bolet, who looked fiercely at him and re plied: "He insulted me." "Yes," said Lawyer Douglas Levien, who appeared for the Minister, "and he will do right if he does slap you in the month." Commissioner Alexander said there must be no more of such talk in the courtroom, and he directed the United States Marshals to restore order. Thereupon Lawyer Levieu sprang up and said warmly: "I will now take my departure and get out of this case, but before going I wish to explain my reasons for withdrawing." No Time to Give Any Reasons. "I don't care to hear your reasons," re joined Commander Alexander, icily. "You have no standing whatever in this court. The Government of the United States is represented by the District Attorney. The Court does not wish to be interrupted any further by you." Lawyer Levien causht up his hat and his law books and retired to the corridor. Secretary Bolet followed close behind him, and soon the voices of the two men in angry conference were heard. The Government had produced no evidence to show that the South Portland was a war vessel, and Com mander Alexander dismissed the charges and released Gonzales. It was said in the United States District Attorney's office, after Gonzales' dischnree, that it was understcod that Minister Pera:a was negotiating for the purchase of the steamship Catherine Whiting to pursue the South Portland if she leaves this port The Whiting is a 504-ton steamship, and is lying at the foot of Twenty-sixth street, South Brooklyn. She is faster than the South Portland, sailing, it is said, 15 knots to the South Portland's ten knots an hour. Her price is said to be 530,000, without the armament that the Venezuelan Minister would put on her if he sends her in pursuit of the South Portland. The Stars and Stripes to Bo Protected. The Venezuelan Consul said after the trial that the representative of the United States Government had not given Venezuela a lair hearing. He confirmed the report that the Venezuelan Minister had secured the Cath erine Whiting, onned by W. L. Bowman, which he would arm and use to canture the South Portland if the latter should sail ior Venezuela. United States District Attorney Mitchell refused to say what the United States would do in the event of a capture of the South Portland by an armed Venezuelan vessel sailing from this port He made this gen eral assertion: "The Uuited States will protect any vessel flying the American flag in any waters so long as she violates no laws recognized by the Uuited States." The South Portland flies the United States flag, and her sailing, eventitharms, provided she herself is' not to use them against Venezuela, would be no violation ot United States law. The delivery of arms to insurgents would be no such violation, al though, if thedelivery occurred in Venez uelan waters, it wonld be at the risk of those who made the delivery. The South Portland is to sail for Port Spain, Trinidad, if her release follows on the failure of the Government to make out-a case against her. Between here and Trin idad no ships can molest hor without large sized international complications. 1M0T2 BY CONSCIENCE. A Man Who Committed Arson Returns the Cabh lie Secured. MILI.EKSI5UEO, O., Sept 20. Special. J. P. Vannest, an insurance agent doing business in Wayne and Holmes Counties, has had a remarkable case of the return of conscience money. Ten years ago, while agent of the Glens Falls Company, he paid to a man residing north of here a $355 loss Recently the man came to-him and said that the hre was started by himselt; that he and his wife bad at that time became dissatisfied with the looks of their old house, and after talking the matter over for a long time they decided to burn it, and with the insurance money put up one with more style abont it. He fired the building, but when it-began to burn his conscience smote him so hard that he turned in and saved a part of the furniture and prevented the total destruction of the building. Then he and his wife quarreled over the matter and she used to threaten to tell on him. Finally he got religion, and his new piety and the threats ot his wife together made the secret unbearable. So, after be had a promise from the company that he wouldn't be prosecuted, he came to Vannest, as before stated, aDd "forked o ver the 5350." JEFF'DAVIS MONUMENT.

At a meet ing of the General Committee of United Confederate Veterans and Officers, Jefferson Davis Monument Association of Richmond, held here to-day, it nas decided that the monument to the memory of the ex-President of the Confederacy shall be located in Monroe Park. In the course of an address issued by the committee "To the Southern People," the following occurs: If our poverty has been and continues to be great it has at least made us rich in love for each other. If our lives have been ono .tale of sacrifice and threaten more, the more willing of those to come must be that one which will keen ereen foi ever the memory of onr lost land andyour dead brothers.

New York, Sept 20. Charles Reed, for many years advance agent for Fore paugh's circus, died this morning under circumstances which call for an investi gation by the Coroner. He came home last night and complained of pains in the head. His wife made him some hot lemonade and he went to bed. This morning Mrs. Reed awoke her sister-in-law, who lived with them, and told her Mr. Reed was dead. Before Miss Reed recovered from the shock the wife had called an undertaker, who em balmed the body. Then she sent a dispatch to James Jour dan, with Forepaugh's circus at Sunburr, Pa.,; asking for a loan of $50, saying she would return it Monday. This "message the police suspect has a double meaning. Jacob' Reed, a friend of the de ceased, said that Reed and his wife had not lived happily together. Dr. Irving D. Hitchock, who gave a certificate to the effect that Reed had died from heart fail ure, said that he bad been attending the agent ior several montns. Six years ago Reed was married to a young woman who was employed as a chariot rider with Forepaugh's circus. The cnnple lived happily together until the agent discovered that his wile was very friendly with James Jourdan, one of the ticket takers. This lead to a separation, but through the efforts of his Bister there was a reconciliation between Reed and his wife.and they went to live together again. Having saved up $1,G00 he deposited the money in his wife's name. Recently the old trouble between the pair broke out anew and it was decided that they were to separate forever. ONE WAY X0 BUN A TEUST. A Reported New Scheme to Carry Out the Coal Corporation's Designs. New Yoijk, Sept 20. Special A Trenton dispatch received late this after noon in Wall street announced that a new scheme was on foot for carrying oat the pur poses of the coal combination which has been the object of so many attacks. The dispatch says that 'the Central Railroad of Now Jersey is to lease the Philadelphia and Reading, the Port Reading and the Lehigh Valley Railroads, there being no law in New Jersey prohibiting a domestic rail road corporation from leasing another rail road, and adds that there can be no objec tion made to this lease by the Vail estate. Other considerations apart, it is not be lieved that the Jersey Central would be willing to undertake a lease of the Read ins system. Some consideration would have to be given, and it is not probable that the Jersey Central would be willing to guarantee anything on the income bonds or stocks of the Reading Company. S. M. Williams, Third Vice President of tho Jer sey Central Company, said he had heard no mention of such an arrangement, and did not believe there was any foundation for the story. ODD FLI0WS INCREASE.

TIIET WANT THEIR RIGHTS KEGAEDED San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 20. A second proclamation has been issued by tho Chinese Six Companies warning all Chinese residing in this country against complying with the Geary registration law. An ap- YtAal if 4Kn 1?mw.A nw .T Hlilnn lias al.n llO(n made. The proclamation says the, Geary I IflW dptrrnrloa tlin PhintteA ant ft nbnvpd. ' will put them lower than the meanest of people. "We do not want Chinese to obey," says the proclamation In making this law the people of the United States have treated sworn treaties made with our country and onr Emperor with contempt They" have disregarded our rights and paid no atten tion to their promises and made a law to suit themselves, no matter how unjust to us. If any of our people think they are wiser than we are and would obey this law: if any would obey it for the sake of making money, let them stop. Do not do It You will repent it if you do. Many white men say this law is not right, and those who obey it are not wise, but ignorant and fool ish. Let us stand together. We hope all will work with us and then we can break this infamous law. Following is the law:" (Then follows the full text of the Geary bill.) "Again we warn you not to obey this law." The appeal to the Emperor is couched in the following language: Tien-Tie Lord of our Government and son of Heaven for thousands of years: Believing that our Government is in igno rance of the manner in which its treaties with the United States are being violated, and of the indignities being heaped upon the Chinese people by the Government of the United States we, the Six Compadies of the United States, do now appeal to you for relief in behalf of your chil dren in this country. Added to the hardships heretofore inflicted upon our people by the United States, its rulers now propose to force upon us another law to degrade us. It is a cruel and unjust meas ure.and we pray for relief from its exactions. We transcribe the law as it comes to us. We are told we must obey it or suffer loss of porperty and cruelties, and be forced to leave the homes we have toiled to make in this country. We ask for help. We ask for justice. We ask that our Government protect its children. We send you the law. The appeal is signed by each of the Pres idents oi the Six Companies. ANECDOTES AND THEIB USE. In Wrlticc a Dlo;rnphy They Ilelp to Throw Licht on thn Character. "No biographer can afford to neglect the illustration and anecdotes of everyday life, for they may serve his purpose more suc cessfully than the most elaborate analysis. Without the use of anecdote it is, therefore, impossible to attempt biography, and when a biographer mentions a peculiar character istic, an anecdote may justify his statement and confirm his accuracy," says S. Arthur Bent in the North American Review. "Thus one may read that Adam Smith was remarkably absent-minded. No one will doubt this when told that once having to sign his 'name to an official document the great economist produced, not his own signa ture, but an elaborate imitation of the signature of the person who signed before him; and that, on another occasion, a sen tinel on duty having saluted him in military style was astonished to see him acknowledge it by an awkward copy of the same gestures. "Busch, the Boswellian biographer of Bismarck, says that the Chancellor is of a choleric disposition. The least vexation is liable to provoke him to volcanic outbursts of temper, but the eruption readily sub sides. He tells no confirmatory anecdotes, but Count Beust comes to his rescue, say ing in his 'Memoirs' that Bismarck once left the Emperor's apartment in a rage, and, finding that he was carrying by accident the key with him, he threw it into a basin in a friend's room and broke the basin into fragments. 'Are vou ill?' asked the occupant of the room. 'I was,' replied Bismarck, 'but I am better now.'" HOW SHEIMP3 ABE KEPT. Qaite an Elaborate Process Necessary to Preserve the Lltt'e Fish. Pearson's Weekly. Shrimps are caught in the Gulf of Mexico. The season lasts four months two in the spring and two in the autumn and in that time a tremendous business is done in the way of catching and canning them. In New Orleans, which is the headquarters of tho trade, 100,000 tins a day of these little fish are packed. Girls who are experts in their line take the shrimps in hand. With one twist they take off their heads, and with a pressure at the tail the shrimp is forced out After being taken from the shells the shrimps are then put in a vat of salt water, and are cooked by means of steam pipe running through the vats. Then they are put into little gauze bags, each bag just big enough to fit inside the cans used, there being so much phosphorus in the shrimp that, unless some precaution is taken, the tin would be eaten through by its action. After the shrimps ore placed in the cans they are hermetically sealed, this work being done by machinery. The cans are then put into a large tank. and once again the shrimps arc put through a steaming process, this being ten times hotter than before. After this the shrimps are thoroughly cooked, nnd when the cans cool they are labelled and put in boxes. Fot Afraid or Ohio. L.

ORE TIME ALL ABOUND. For That Purpose the World Should Be Divided Into 34 Zones. Pearson's Weekly. 1 Traveling has been made so easy and rapid of late that some systematic arrange ment of international time has become almost a necessity. It is well nigh impossi ble to remember the exact difference be tween the times of two places, as there are usually a lot of odd minutes to take into consideration. This is a great nuisance for the traveler, though it would hardly do to suggest that the time should be reckoned the same at the same moment all the world over; we are so accustomed.to have the sun high up in the sky at 12 o'clock, that such a drastic change wonld be too great a shock to our feelings But a proposal has been made by which the time at one place can be easily comparable with the time anywhere eise. For this pnrpose the world would be divided into 24 zones; each zone would have Its own time, which would of course differ by one hour from that in the next zone. This certainly seems worth considering, and, if it conld be satisfactorily arranged, would be extremely convenient to travelers and for telegraphic purposes. Moreover, the time at anv place would never differ by more than half an hour from the mean sun time, so that it would still be 12 o'clock when the sun was at its highest point. North America is already divided on this principle into Ave zones, the most east erly of which is four hours after Greenwich time, and the time is called "interna tional." The others in order are ''Eastern," "Central," "Mountain" and "Pacific" times, differing successively by one hour. THE PEES3 IN SI AM. Free nnd Untrameled Language Used About the Koyal Ruler. NewTorkSnn.J Siam has a free and unmuzzled press. The newspapers published in the English lan guage at the capital, under the very shadow of the royal palace, make the most remark able charges against the Government, and say what they please in regard to the king's character, mental capacity and alleged vices. The king recently appointed Dr. Rasch physician in ordinary to the court, and the Siam Press takes advantage of tho opportu nity to tell Dr. Rasch about things which deserve his particular attention. It re quests him to enrich "psychological medi cine by publishing bis observations on the mental condition of a ruler, who, hemmed in by powerful neighbors, not only leaves his country defenseless, but also rules his people so badly that they muit long to see a foreign flag float over them." The editor desires the doctor to report further on the mental condition of the King's Prime Minister, who imagines that he can "repeatedly give tlie lie direct to European gentlemen wjthout being referred to in turn as a liar." The Pratt also wishes enlightenment as to the mental condition of a people "of good physique and fair aver age courage, who yet remain under the rule of a family whose members are all rank cowards and mostly weak dwarfs, and which is still undergoing rapid deteriora tion by constant breeding in and in." SEPTEMBER NIGHTS. Their Coolness Causes Sickness and Suffering. Rheumatism is Getting Common. Very One Woman Brought Carriage. Home in a Itlicumatlsm Is rrowlnjr more frequent. And it is a painful disease that comes with the cool nights of September. It often bailies the skill of physicians. George Leathcrby, of 133 Seneca St, Buffalo, tells In the Buffalo Aeas about his wife's sad con dition. He writes: "My wife, Hannah Leathcrby, had lone been a 6uHcrer with rheumatism, complicated with kidney troublo and nervous complaints. Often when she went anywhere, it would be necessary to bring her homo In a carriage. The doctors had given her up and we were completely discouraged. Tet to-day she would not for a thousand dollars go back to the condition she was In before taking the remedy that was rec ommended to her by the last.physlcian ihe con sulted. After she had used one bottle of this, sne threw away her cane, aud when she had taken six times that amount she was well and itrong. This 13 solely the result of her uso of Palne's celerv compound, a medicine now prescribed by several physicians In Buffalo. My wife is nearly 70 years old aud to-day Is doing all her own work. I thank Cod for what this compound has done for her." The Xeics, in commenting upon this, says that Mrs. Leathcrby's case has aroused a great deal of interest among her friends and acquaintances and many pcoplo come to ask about her marvelous cure. They may come doubting, but they go away convinced that Palne's celery compound la the most reliable remedy Known for curing disease aud restoring the afflicted to health and strength. maer WKWfADVEKTI3EMK5TS.l ROSENBAUM & CO.
