Is disturbed over a whltecap plng that occurred there last Sunday night. The trouble grew out of the attentions of a. farmer named Talgolp to Maggie O'Neill, the daughter of a farmer living near Taigolp's farm. ' Talgolp is a Protestant and O'Neill a Catholic, and the difference In religion was a decided objection to the union In the eyes of O'Neill. He objected to iie young folks keeping company and or dered Talgolp to stay away from his farm, but the latter failed to heed the warning. Last evening he called on Maggie, and returned home about 11 o'clock. About 11.30 Talgolp was awakened by a knocking at the door and he got up to let in his hired man, who was out. It was not the hired man, but four masked men that greeted the vision of Talgolp. They took Jilm from the house, tarred and feathered him and whipped him unmercifully, then left him go back to the house as best he could.

BOIES PENROSE TURNED DOWN Enthusiasm of His Followers Failed to Hypnotize tho Convention-Attorney Graham Creates an Uproar Pen rose Delegates Object. By the United Press. Philadelphia, Jan. 9. City Solicitor Charles F. Warwick was this morning nominated for mayor of Philadelphia by the Republican mayoralty conven tion which met in Musical Fund hall. The delegates were unusually uproar ious, and the followers of State Senator Boies Penrose, who. at almost the last moment was given the go-by by the party leaders, stuck to him to the end. So pronounced were the Penrose people, who comprised about one-third of the delegates, , that they refused to make the nomination of Mr. Warwick unani mous. Tho vote was: Warwick, 6S4; Penrose, 233; ex-City Treasurer George D. MeCreary, 1. The convention was called to order at 10.15 o'clock by David H. Lane, and ex Recorder of Deeds George O. Plerle was chosen as temporary chairman. Mr. Plerle, who was the choice of David Martin, one of the leaders, was after ward made permanent chairman, and the placing of candidates in nomina tion was begun. When Congressman Henry M. Bingham mounted the stage to nominate Senator Penrose the minority delegates Bet up a cheer, which was vociferous In the extreme. Chairman Plerle vainly endeavored to maintain order, but Congressman Bing ham proceeded. He scored the "com bine" for "cowardly knifing a man In the dark;" lauded Mr. Penrose's traits and defended him against the "calum nies that had been heaped upon him." The Penrose delegates approved the sentiments of Congressman Bingham when he had concluded, in no uncertain tones, und when District Attorney George S. Gralham began an address on behalf of Mr. Warwick, the oheers gave way to hisses. Hisses and Applause. Until this time the majority delegates practically remained siltmt, but the presence of Mr. Graham caused them to let out a cheer which drowned the maniftatlons of disapproval. The dis trict attorney grew red In the face when the hissing began, and when one of the Penrose element cynically yelled: "Are you a Republican?" Mr. Graham directed his remarks to that Individual and Informed him that he was certainly of that political faith. The district at torney faced the questioner, and, as diplomatically as he could, took him to task. This procedure suited the War wick people, for they cheered until they were tired. This waa kept up until after Mr. Graham had llnlshed, and was renewed when Councilman Hawkes seconded the nomination. One hour after the beginning of the convention Leader Martin moved that the nominations close, and this was done. The delegates from the thirty seven wards ithen cast their votes, the complimentary ballot for Mr, Me Creary coming from the Twenty-eighth wurd. When the majority for Mr. Warwick was announced a Warwick delegate suggested that the nomination bo made unanimous, but a Penrose delegate cried "No," and In this divided manner, the convention, at 11.35, ad journed. While the a.icgates were unusually uproarious and were intensely bitter In a factional sense, no trouble re sulted. In addition to the mayoralty conven tion twelve Republican candidates for police magistrates were nominated by a convention held In Industrial hall, and Republican counellmanlc nominees were chosen In each of the thirty-seven wards.

He was in formed by Mr. Cockrell that there was no change or amendment to that effect recommended by the committee on ap propriations. "Would it not be well," paid Mr. Quay, "to compel a publication of the mimes and salaries of corporation em ployes In the reports made under the ncome tax? A gentleman who Is very high in political position In the city of Philadelphia (a Republican (national committeeman) stated within the last thlrty-lx hours to a member of the other house wnd to a Judicial officer of the city of Philadelphia as a reason why he could not preserve plighted faith in regard to an important nomi nation there, that he was under a heavy alary from a great corporation, and was compelled to do what that corporation wished, and not what toe himself desired and felt he ought to do. The amendment which I suggest is pertlnunt simply In this respect that mpn In such a position, with high power for good or evil, ought not to be per mitted to masquerade as acting in the Interest of ithe public or iln the interest of any party, when in reality thay are Serving these great corporations. They ought 'to go about and meet their fel lows fairly amd openly with the dollar mark of Che corporation upon' their foreheads." Mr. Martin Reticent. Philadelphia, Jan. 9.

"No cor poratlon ever mentioned Mr. Warwick's name to me," he said, "and I favored his nomination because I believed it was for the best Interests of the party to do so. The followers of Mr. Penrose are nil loyal Republicans, and although they may feel a little sore over their chief's defeat, they will turn in and work for the nominee." 1 When asked If he and Mr. Quay had a quarrel, Mr. Martin said that they had not, and thnt the last time that he had met Mr. Quay they were good friends.
