RESULT OP THE CONVENTION
Atraospherle Strength of tho Administra
tion' Opposition IMnsolvca I'poa a
, Test Vote-Cold Way for the
Man from Itoaver.
York. Pa., Au. 15. Th York county
Republicans had the greatest conven
tion in their experience. Notwith
standing ail doubts over predictions, it
was a Hastings nnd Gilkeson conven
tion throughout. The courrty ticket was
nominated first and separate from the
state convention delegates, notwith
standing a hot tight on the part of the
Quay men.
The county chairman called the con
vention to order at 10.20, with a full
delegation of 182 present. lr. V. H.
McCurUy. of Delta, was chosen con
vention chairman and the preliminary
work was disposed of. The resolutions
endorsed the administration, called for
sound money, a safe foreign, policy, etc.
County Chairman James G. Ulessner
was re-elected for the fourth time. The
county ticket named is as follows:
Hon. James W. Latimer was unani
mously renominated for president
Judge. For sheriff, O. W. S. Loucks,
the present mayor of York: for regis
ter of wills, E. K..Seltz; for clerk to the
commissioners. Albert Hoff; for county
surveyor. Zach T. Shaw: for director
of the poor. F.llas Strayer. Then came
the naming of the state delegates. An
other hot argument arose on the man
ner of voting for them. The Hastings
followers wanted a vlve voce vote,
while the Quay people wanted a secret
ballot. The Hastings people won their
point. '
The following wore named, the first
five being the Hastings candidates:
The vote is also appended. H. Klster
Free. 13; Captain O. W. Mullen. 133;
Robert M. Wirt. K9: George V. Holtx
inger. 123: Christopher Schrleder. l'Jt;
Joseph A. Kugler. 4S: William H. Wlttn.
58: W. A. McMullen. 60: William Llcht
enberger, 54; X. Sargent Ross, 60.
Resolutions were adopted Instructing
the delegates to vote for Hastings for
permanent chairman of tine state con
vention and Gilkeson chairman of the
state committee. The convention
closed amidst the wildest excitement.
QUAY TIBXEI) DOWN.
Chairman Gilkeson Will Establish No
Precedents in Making l'p tho Conven
tion Roll.
Philadelphia, Aug. 15. Governor
Hastings came to Philadelphia today
from ilarrlsbui g and a consultation of
the administration leaders was held.
The result of the consultation is prob
ably seen In the following letter from
Mr. Gilkeson to Senator Quay, in reply
to the -la Item's request that Uie state
committee tie called together to make
up the roll of the state convention. The
letter follows: ;
August, IS, 1895.
Hon. M. S. Quay, Beaver, Pa.
Dear Sir I beg to acknowledge the re
ceipts of your letter of the 13th requesting
me to convene the state committee at
Harlsburg on the 20th Inst., for the purpose
of preparing the roll of the state conven
tion called for the 28th Inst.
In reply thereto I have to say that the
duty of preparing the roll ha heretofore
always devolved upon the state chairman,
and I am aware of no reason why a new
precedent should now be established.
In the performance of this duty I shall
follow the well-settled practice of placing
upon the roll only the names of delegates
duly certified by the regular organizations
in the various counties, leaving absolutely
to the state convention the duty of set
tling the question of contested seats. In
the preparation of the roll, I will, under
no circumstances whatever, depart from
the regular, orderly and well established
precedent set by my predecessors. Youfs
truly, B. F. Gllkespn, Chairman.
TO SAVE DURANT.
A Mysterious Attempt Said to Have Bien
Made to llrihA Itirnrs
Bsn Francisco. Aug. 15. 'Another sen
sation has developed in the Durant
case. Whether It Is a case of Jury brib
ing or a bold attempt at blackmail the
police and others 'Who have In vest gated
the matter are unwilling and probably
una'ble to state with pofltlveness. The
fact remains that Mrs. Durant, mother
of the young man who Is accused of
murdering Minnie Wllllaims and
Blanche Lamont, was approached re
cently by a mysterious woman, whose
desire was to sell something of ex
treme Importance to the safety of Theo
dore Durant. It ma Intimated that at
least three of the Jurors' already ac
cepted could be Influenced to vote for
an acquittal. But coin would be re
quired to get these vote.
Mrs. Durant not only spurned the
offer, ibut Informed the attorneys for
hr son and alio notified the police of
the nature of the offer made to her.
The woman Is Mrs. Sarah Groger,
who resides at 516 Leavenworth street.
While she denies having offered any
Jurors for sale, the admits having vis
ited Mrs. Durant and offering for
money to bring about the accomplish
ment of something which would be in
valuable to the defenre of Theodore
Durant. Mrs. Oroger says she only
acted as an agent of a third party and
did so Innocently.
MURDERESS RESPITED.
The Governor of Georgia Gives Mrs.
Nobles a Cfaanoe for Her Life.
Atlanta, Oa., Aug. 15. The case of
Mrs. Elizabeth Kobies, which has at
tracted as much interest in this section
as has the case of Marie Barberl In
New York, was given a temporary set
tlement today by Governor Atkinson,
who granted a respite until Oct. 12.
The merits of the case were not gone
Into at all by the governor, the appli
cation on the woman's behalf being
simply that a sufficient respite be
granted to permit a motion for a new
trial to be made at the next term of
Twiggs county court.
This Is an extraordinary motion for a
new trial, the woman's counsel having
abandoned her after her trial and mak
ing no effort to secure a new trial for
her. The governor granted a similar
stay in the case of Ous Faubles, the
negro who was her accomplice, though
no motion was made In his behalf. They
killed iMrs. Nobles' husband. .
WORKMEN COOKED ALIVE. "
Two Employes of the Fort Orange Paper
Company, Near Csstletnn, Killed.
Castleton, N. T., Aug. IS. A fearful
boiler eiplorslon took place at the plant

SfcKeesport, Pa.. Aug. 15. At 4
o'clock this morning, while the family

DR. TANNER SUSPENDED.
Lively Seene in the British Parliament.
Tnrbulont Member tjectcd from House
of Commons..
London, Aug. 15. In the house of
commons this evening John Redmond,
the Parnelllte leader, moved the amend
ment to the address In reply to the
queen's speech of which he had previ
ously given notice, calling upon the
government to declare tthetr policy in
regard to home rule for Ireland, The
reform of the land law, the compulsory
purchase of land, evicted tenants and
the Industrial condition of the country.
John Dillon spoke in support of Mr.
Redmond's amendment, tilr: Dillon ad
mitted that there was utn ominous
silence In America regarding the Irish
question, which, he confessed, he did
not like. It was a sign, he said, tlhat
the mighty work effected by Parnell in
leading the people there to believe that
Ireland's cause would be won by con
stitutional agitation in parliament had
been destroyed.
Timothy Harrington. In support of
the amendment, referred to the attitude
of the LUeral party toward home rule
during the lust election as unknown,
when a member whojc identity was not
discovered, exclaimed: "They ran away
trom it."
At this Dr. Charles D. Tanner,' antl
Parnellite. cried out: "They did not.
That's a He." Amid calls for order the
speaker directed Dr. Tanner to with
draw the expression he made use of and
to apologize for having used It.
Dr. Tanner refused, and the speaker
then named Dr. Tanner for gross dis
obedience of the chair and for wilful
disorder.
Dr. Tanner responded:
"On the contrary, sir, anything that
comes to me from the chair I am only
too happy, to do, but I cannot tell an
untruth." Joseph Chamberlain then
moved that Dr. Tanner be suspended,
and amid cheers the speaker put the
question. The responses were loud
"aves" and a few "noes."
The peaikert announcement of the re
sult of tlhe vote was challenged and the
usual course pursued. When the tellers
were a'sked the result of the division by
th speaker 'Dr. ITanner exclaimed:
"I II tell myself."
The sneaker declared the motion car
ried and ordered Dr. Tanner to with
draw, 'but the latter did not move.
Thereupon the speaker directed the
pergeant-at-arms to remove him. Dr.
Tanner at once rose from .his seat,
bowed to the chair and marched down
the ganewlay. Turning he said: "I
have greater pleasure In leaving than
I ever had In entering this dirty house."
He pointed at IMr. Chamberlain and
he also shook his first and shouted:
"Judlas." Four times before he reached
the door did Dr. Tanner turn and Te
peat the epithet. The nst words the
members heard were: "You wont try
any nonsense with me."
Dr. Tanner's suspension is for a week.
NO NEW BOND ISSUE.
General Alexander Brown Snye the Situa
tion Is Not Alarming.
Baltimore. Aug. 15. General Alexan
der Brown,- who formed the sub-syndicate
In Baltimore to co-operate with
the Morgan-Uelmont syndicate In furn
ishing the gold for tbe last Issue of
tionds, ccmmen'Mng on the gold export,
'ays: "There Is not the slightest cause
for alarm. The syndicate has the sit
uaUon well In riand and will keep the
treasury gold reserve Intact. Com
mercial Mils -are beginning to appear
in the market, and they .will furnish
abundant exchange and will effectively
check the outflow of gold.
"A regards the talk of another bond
4ssue, I do not think there Is the slight
est foundation or It. The rates for
exchange are already beginning to
weaken, and I firmly believe that the
gold shipments are nearing an end."

spond, with a view to getting the best
men to advance the cause outlined by

FLED IN MulIT GEAR.
Summit House Destroyed by Fire -People
from Rival Hotels Had to Lend the
Victims Clothing.
Shelter Island, L. I., Aug. 15. A Are
broke out early this morning in the
Summit House at this place. The build
ing was a frame structure and was used
as a summer hotel. The flames spread
so rapidly that the guests had hardly
time to escape in their night clothe
They lost all their personal effects.
The building, with Its contents, was
destroyed, involving a loss bf about
$15,000. This Is partially covered by in
surance. The tire Is supposed to have
originated In the kitchen. The guests
at the other hotels were awakened by
the noise and many of them helped in
extinguishing the flames.
The excitement In the neighborhood
was tremendous. Pew of the guests had
more than their night gear on, and as
this was the leading hotel In town,
every room had been filled with sum
mer boarders, many of whom were
from the vicinity of Brooklyn. They
had much difficulty In getting clothing,
though the guests In other hotels right
gallantly came to the rescue and lent
what they could to the unfortunates.
It Is considered a miracle that no one
was hurt.
FAILURE OF A BIG MINE.
Bear's Nest In Alaska Found to Be De
void of Pay Rock.
San Francisco, Aug. IB. A few
months ago 'With a great flourish of
trumpets It was announced that- the
Ht-ar's Nest mine, adjoining the fa
mous Treadiwell mine, on Douglass Is
land, Alaska, (had 'been sold by Tread
well to a German and TCngHsh syndi
cate for $1,000,000. Now comes news
from Alaska that the mine 'has failed
and that the outcroppings, which made
experts declare It fully equal to the
Treadwcll, were merely surfnee Indica
tions and developments show the ore
In the body of the mine Is too low grade
to pay working.
Charges of fraud and bad manage
ment have been piled up against those
who surd and operated the mine, but
nature appears to be to blame for the
non-turning up of pay rock. It Is safe
to say the capitalists were more to
blame for their' Ignorance than their
Inability to select competent experts.
As the Dear's Nest adjoined tlhe Tread
weH, th syndicate believed they could
reach pay rock by drifting toward the
Treadwell, but 4n this they failed, be
cause the Treadwell Is a buge pocket
produced during the age or volcanic
eruptions.

next season than this year. There are
750,000 tons of Ishpemlng stock piles,

TROUBLEsIn TURKEY.
Ceiasat Jewel t Ordered to Demand the Me
. leave of an American I Prison,
- Washington, 4ug 15. The state de
partment ha received a report from
Minister Terrell at Constantinople stat
ing that a naturalised American oltl
en, who had been a student at the
American college at Massouan, Ar
menia, had been arrested bjr tht Turk
ish officials for alleged complicity In the
murder of an Armenian Christian. The
minister stated that he had Instructed
Mr. Jewett, the United States consul
there, to demand the release of the pris
oner, whose name was not given, if he
had been Imprisoned on mere suspicion
or because his acquirement of Ameri
can citizenship was construed as an
offense.
Mr. Terrell said in his dispatch that
the present Jdassouan troubles arose
from notices sent sixteen persons that
they would be killed unless they co
operated with the Armenian revolu
tionists. Two of these wer President
Tracy and Professor Rlggs, of Mas
souan college, both Americans. Two
others of the sixteen have been assassi
nated. lAt IMr. Terrell's request a Turk

SIBLEY'S SILVER SPEECH.
During Its Delivery the Speaker's Re
spects Are Paid Secretary Carlisle and
John Sherman.
Raleigh, N. C, Aug. 15.-J. C. Sibley,
of Pennsylvania, addressed an audience
of 2.000 people at Cary today. Heavy
rain Interfered with the attendance.
The speaker largely con lined himself to
the silver question. His plea was for
unity of action. "We have nine mil
lion votes," 'he said, "but partisanship
weakens our .forces. We must win in
1.S96 or we will never win. If we fail
rheti the future offers only repudiation
or revolution."
The speaker paid his respects to Sec
retary Carlisle. He read from, a copy
of the secretary's speech Utot part
which referred to a conspiracy formed
In Kngland to demonetize from the
sevenths to one-half of the metallic
money of the people, and which would
produce greater disaster thani all the
wars, pestilences and famines.
"Ye. Mr. tiecretary." said he. "you
then had a prophetic eye, but now you
are sent over the country to teach the
doctrine of Clevelandism. Glare of
gold has dimmed your vision. The yel
lowhalo of Rothschilds hovers just over
your head, and you seek It for a crown.
Did I say his vision was obscured?
Ixok at the prophesy ot the 'greater
disaster than pestilence and famine
made nearly two years ago. Then look
at the conditions of today. Has not
that prophesy beeii literally fulfilled
and does the course of the secretary
today Indicate that he realizes the truth
of what he said then?"
In his references to the course of
Senator iSherman on the financial ques
tion, Mr. Sibley spared not, and said:
"When the genius of all evil shall call
from the vast deep the spirits of the
traitors and agents of disaster among
mankind to paps in grand review there
will be among them Judas Iscarlot,
Benedict Arnold and John Sherman.
What shall be their pka? Judas Is
carlot will be able to say: 'I had the
grace to return to the eorruptionists
the price of my treachery; I had the
grace to expiate my crime by going out
and hanging myself,' and the others
will have a plea of like character, but
none can be offered by John Sherman,
and all the spirits of evil will give way
to him, for his only plea can be the
working of disaster to his country
without having the example of Judas
Iscarlot or any one else."
FIVE OUTLAWS CAPTURED.

Rufuala at about noon today.
Heavily armed and appropriately
mounted, they rode bodily Into town,
apparently Intent on making a raid and
believing that they would receive but
little opposition. Their lack of alert
ness proved their misfortune, for they
were quickly surrounded by armed
deputies. The officers' drop on them
was a complete 'surprise, and the
quintet meekly gave up their arms and
submitted to arrest without making
the least effort to escape.
Composing the gang are Charles Wil
son, Kay Defence ugh, Joe Bock.
Charlie Moore and Coy Shehan. Each
Is charged with numerous crimes com
mitted In the territory and all are
known to be desperate men. Monday
last they escaped from the StIMwater
(O. T.) jail and ever since then have
ibeen closely pursued (by a determined
detachment of deputy marshals.
