JO in the after noon, after an agonizing wait outside the convention hall in a temperature strongly sn-igeative of sheol, tno doors were at'iiin thrown op.-n and thepr Bpiring delegates were a second ti in permitted to surge in, it soon became apparent, from the complacency nuinng whom was Field Marshal Keck, th it the lines had all been sirengtnened and that some of tho "amateur" scouting parties had captured a number of Strug glers from the enemy's camp. And then happened a thing that il lustrates vividly the superior chivalry and liberality of the Republican party. While tue sweltering convention was waiting for the report of belated com mittees, speakers were culled uuon, and among them were two Democrats, who frankly proclaimed their political eccentricity and yet were npulau led to the echo when (successful in witticism or r partee. Indeed, had they been Republicans of national renown, they could not have received a more hospit able welcome; and even when one -went somewhat to an extreme in op position to the partisan ciinplexion of the convention, he was permitted to complete his daring sally and cordially applauded when he concluded. TWO OKATOI'JCAu DEMOCRATS. The first of these speakers was Dis trict Attorney John M. Gurinm. of Nunticoko. When asked wuut he could say about the Republican party he promptly retorted tuat he could say nothing ubont it except that if be were running ngainst it, the convention's nominee lor congress would not be in eight. Later on, Playwright Daniel L. Hurt, just returned from un outing in the Catskills, was solicited to amuso the nssemhlage, and he did it to per fection, He began by quoting David B Hiil's famous purasa, "I uiu a Demo cratl" and declared that if Luzerne Republicans didn't want to hear him make a D. mocratic speech they should not have culled upon him. This was the preface to t spirited expjsi tion of Democracy, mainly humor oua iu its character, but sufficiently rabid to exhibit in conspicuotm relief the Republican liberality which toler ated it. Mr. Hart might have added another famous speech to the list of great partisan orations had he not in advertently ucensed General Grant ol having been a Democrat "befouh do wnh." This excited the ire of a vener able delegate in one of the rear seats and, with capillary portiorros vibrating in indignation, he aroso and launched forth a vehement denial. A verbal duel at long range ensued, to the infinite amusement of tho onlookers; aud altor a vaiu effort to withstand the rural veteran's wrath Mr. Hart grucefully subsided. FCLLEIt's MASTERLY EFFORT. Following the permanent orgnnizi tion, which wsg affected by Temporal Chairman Sliouk's retirement in fav r of Dr. W. G. Weaver, nominating speeches were called for. 1'hnt of H. H. Fuller, plucinir in nomination the of Morgan li. Williams, was the ora torlcul gem of the convention, keen, witty, lustrous and exquisitely phrased. When he likened Congress man Hires to that useless aud infiuiits- mill run n a nt o( a former bowel culled the vermiform appendix, which, wh-n swollen into the disease called political appendicitis, had once before called for surgical excision of the man he would name, and wnicb now needed a a repetition of that treatment, the con vention fairly rose to its feet wi h laughter ana cheering. In the inor" seri uis phns 'S of his Uress, Mr. Ful ler referred most i ff ctively to th spurious claims of Iliim to the friend ship of the laboring classes, aud said that the kind of d.-inago-ism which, for political t ff 'ct, lauded poverty as a virtue aud lir.nded property as a crime, aud which, instead of men of sagacity, intelligence an 1 merit, tilled the halls of legislation with P apulists, socialists, annrchis sand tramps, hal, n was happy to believe, had its day in Luz-rue county and in th nation Gains b Halsey. of White Haven, presented John Leisenring's nam in a strong speech, during which he occa sioned much amusement by repeatedly addressing the 'goiithnum of the con vention" as "geutlemen of the jury.'' Mr. llnlsey's oration was larg dy a sta tistical argument proiug the cost of Democratic supremacy to the business Interests of tho country. Th applause elicited by his mention of John L dsen ring's iinino showed conclusively that the majority of the delegates and a very large mnj irity of the persons who were not delegates wore iavunible in clined towsrd the candidacy of tho man from Upp-r Lehigh.

As the polling of the delegates proceed, the intense closeness of tho fight became newly ap parent; ami each new rote.asit added to or lessened tiioch mces of Ur.

The early year ot Joun Leisenring's life were passed iu goou, tiaru work. Although his lather had already laid the foundation of an ample fortune, the son was never an idler, either by disposition or from choice. In fact, the prudent discirillue of the parent would soon have put a stop to uny juvenile inclinaiiou on John's part to smrk work, had there been such. The ambition of Mr. L I- senring, sr., was to rear a family pos- seseu ot ail uis own sturdy virtues; and among the traits he wished developed idleness or indifference) to the real Value of tilings was not present. Young Leisenring entered Princeton college in the latter bulf of the eix'i"", but never graduated, having, in 1870, been called to the management of his father's extensive gold mining interests In the west. Th ess he put iu first-class shape and later returned east to accept a position as civil and mining engineer on the Central Railroad of Now Jorsy, with the management of which hid brother, S. B. Leisenring, is honorably affiliated. In 1873 Mr. Leisenring moved to Andeuried to take charge of the mines iu that place.

Tim board of trade was the scene of a wild buying panic today, corn showing up at dizzy gait and carrying wheat with it The drought in tlio corn belt was nn checked, tho weather bureau showed uo signs of relief from the blistering winds that ore sweeping over western corn lie i s. withering tne grnwtu and destroying tho crop, and excited brok ers clustered about the corn pit sage to buy. At the tap of ths bell a wild strngglo for holdings began. Shorts were Iran tic, aud at every jump in thn price, with its consiiiueut losses to them fought more fiercely for cover. !! fore 10 o'clock corn had gone np ' cents, in a long aud sensational iuuiD. and wheat, with its hervy load of bearish iiiflueuces, had struggled 2 cents up the scale. The visitors' gal lerv was soon filled with spectators. who climbed upon the seats and leaned over the railings, watching the yelling, howling mob of speculators on the iioor. Uoldors. with visious of suddon wealth, held on to their grain until ollerinirs were hs scaroe as rainstorms. and shorts, with visions of equally sud den disaster, grew wilder as the sessiou advanced. The market, which n few weeks ago apparently hud no bottom, now seemingly had no top, and, pass lug wheat, corn continued in an ud vance that has seldom been equalled on DEADLY PATH the Chicago board for sensational feat ures. Tho bullish features, of course, were tho hot, dry winds, swooping across the already parched corn fields; the tiblished official reports that cover a irge section of Nsoraskt that the tnuers would not raise enough corn to keep them from starving; tho ex tremely bullish Iowa crop report, put ting the crop prospects even lower than the speculators had guessed it. and the fact that corn iu Liverpool was reported twopence higher. Tno trading in corn from the start was of the wildest description, the shorts struggling to snap up whatever was iltert'd that could bo got at, re- gurdli.HS of previous prioe, or prices in other purls of tlii pit, from that iu which each was endeavoring with might apd main lo lilt himself out of the financial hole into wniuh his pre vious sales lift'1 plunged him.

A big obstruction of lies and lumber wus placed upon tho' siding a few rods ahead of his engine. It did not appear to be impassable uud the engineer put on all steam una leaped inrougu me pile, passing safely on to the main tr, ok through the split switch at a high rate of speed. ' As the train passed the obstruction, the engineer saw a group of masked men, and as tho engine cleared the track of the obstacles the highwaymen fired several snots at the train, uoou oi which, however, took ett'oct. A United States car was attached to the train, and had on board a large amount of money. It is thought that this was known to brigands who at tempted to hold up the train.
