The "Faith Cure" has an enthu

The epectacle of the Democratic
Congressmen from this ftate mwt
ing at Washington and casting lots
for the spoils, richt umb-r the noe
of Mr. Cleveland, must be most ex
hilarating to the mugwumps who
staked their all for civil service re
form. The Trilttne says that the ticket
nominated butt week by the Repub
licans of Sew York is regarded by
all shades of Republicans in that
city and Brooklyn as eminently sat
isfactory, and sure to win, and this
opinion seems to be shared by the
muewumn Time and the Demo
cratic World.
Commodore Alexander A. Semmes
ot the L. S. avv. died atter a

Reithlu ass should not forget
that the time for paying taxes in or
der to secure a 70te at the coming
election will expire on Saturday
next October 3d. Young men
who voted on age last year cannot
vole this year unless they pay their
taxes. All voters should see to it at
once that their taxes are paid.
While the President announces
that in his opinion partisan work
often unfits persons "morally aud
mentally" for the duties and re
sponsibilities of public employment,
it is nevertheless observable that
this profound remark, like the mor
al axioms in the mouth of the sanc
timonious Squeers, is for outward
show only, as not a single appoint
ment save one or two to mark the
exception has as yet been made
under his administration that was
not bestowed as a reward lor strict
ly partisan work.
Sevekal counties in the State
have already selected their delegates
to the next Republican State Con
vention, and instructed them to sup
port General Beaver as the nominee
for Governor. There is a general
sentiment throughout the State that
demands the nomination of General
Beaver, because of hit undeserved
and unjustifiable - defeat in 18S2,
and it looks as if be will practically
have no opposition. This feeling
that a wrong should be righted in
the case of General Beaver, should
have a wider application and be
made to include his colleague on
the ticket for Lieutenant Governor
Hon. W. T. Da vies. This gentle
man has a stitinltws personal and po
litical record, and also fell a victim
to the madness of the hour tb;U
placed the present Democratic Ad
ministration in power, and even
handed justice, apart from his de
served personal popularity, requires
that he also should be conceded a
renomination. We feel that the Re
publicans of the State need but this
suggestion to act upon it It is meet,
it is just, it is deserved. '
Mr. Conkad B. Day, the Demo
cratic candidate for State Treasurer,
has entered upon a quiet but sys
tematic campaign, under the tutel
age of Chairman Hensel.' Meegr.
Ilensel and Day are visiting certain
points in the State, where all the
Democratic bosses ot the adjacent
counties meet them by invitation.
Here party sentiment is ascertained,
local campaigns blocked out, post
offices and such like trifles are ar
ranged for and promised, the faith
ful are exhorted to activity, and
whispered assurances of success to
be accomplished by a still hunt
while unsuspecting Republicans are
relying upon, their unprecedented
majority of last year, instills a hope,

The Republican State Conven
tion of New York last week nom
inated for Governor Ira Daven
port, and his chief opponent
for that nomination, General Jo
seph B. Carf, for Lieutenant Gov
ernor, l ne nominees ior me minor
State offices are all strong men. The
convention consisted of 693 dele
gates, who seemed to be dominated
by the desire of nominating a ticket
that would provoke no factional
feeling and bring out the full Re
publican vole of the State. The plat
form is emphatic ia its declaration
in favor of a protective tariff, a free
ballot .and a fair count in all the
States, and for an honest enlorce-
ment of the civil service law, giving
preference at all times to Union sol
diers in the matter of appointments
to office. The ticket is a good one,
and on such a platform should car
ry the State by a handsome major-
itv.
The successful revolution that has
just taken place in Eastern Roumelia
has caused much interest id that
heretofore little-known kingdom.
The population of Eastern Roume
lia ia composed of 5, 4,50 Bulgar
ians and 174,700 Turks. At the
close of the Turko-Russian war
Russia, as the conqueror, asked that
the Bulgarians of the Balkan penin-
6Uia be constituted a separate na
tion. The Bulgarians desired this
above all other ihings, and Turkey
agreed to the erection of the new
6tate; but through the influence of
the English the Bulgarians were di
vided. About 1,400,000 were in
cluded in the country now known
as Bulgaria, nearly CUO.OOO were ap
pointed to Eastern Roumelia and
the remainder were left to the tender
mercifc? of the Turk. The present
movement is the effort of the Bul-
garians to secure me union oi tui
their people. There is but little
doubt that Russia id aiding in the
movenent and that if Turkey under
takes to use force against the Bul
garians that Russian armies will
take the field in their defence.
Notwithstanding the sickoess of
chief Sachem Kelly, Tammany ap
pears to be once more on top in the
fight for supremacy among the New
York Democracy. At the State Con
vention on Thursday last Governor
Hill was re-nomim.ted without a
showing of opposition. Hill was
the choice of his uartv because of
his narrow partisan views. Tam
many is triumphant. The national
administration not only failed to se--ure
the nomination of Cooper, the
-aan of its choice, but has the moot
avowed and open advocate of the
spoils system on a platlorni whose
endorsement of the civil service
views of Presideut Cleveland is 6o
equivocal as to be a nullity, placed
in his stead. The nomination of
Hill will appeal strongly to Tam
many and to the anxious spoilsmen
throughout the State, but to the
mass of the county Democracy and
the large independent vote that was
attracted to Cleveland last year by
reason of his civil service declara
tions, it will be as wormwood and
gall. To lurther emphasize its feel
ing in regard to the course of the
President, six of the seven other
places on the ticket were given to
men who are on record as against
civil service reform.
The platform fits the candidates,
and is in strong contrast to the plat
form of the Republican party, which
met in the eame place two days be
fore. It demands the reorganization
of the Civil Service Commission in
order to make it partisan ; the con
version of the examining boards in
to political machines ; the annul
ment of the lists of those who have j
already passed the examination so
that partisans may be brought in,
and the refusal of the - administra
tive officers to allow the appoint-

is in a distinctively agricultural

for some time. Oh, they know how
to do it in little Delaware. Colonel

STKOXG TICKET NOMINATED BY
NEW YORK REPTBLiICASfS.
Saratoga, Sept 23. It was after
4 o'clock vesterday when the New
York Republican State Convention
was called to order after the recess.
Hon. James W. Rusted was chosen
permanent chairman. Nominations
for Governor followed, and a large
number of candidates were named.
A ballot was taken with the follow
ing result: Davenport 105; Carr.
205; Morton, 42; Seward, 57; Low,
171 Swinburne, 32; Drexel, 37 ; Cor
nell, 4 ; Warren, . 137 ; Evarts, 1 ;
Bliss, 53; stann, l; unanea .An
drews, 1. Necessary to a choice,
346 ; whole number of votes cast
691. The convention then adjourn
ed until this morning.
When the convention met inis
morning it proceeded promptly to
busines. At the conclusion of the
ballot the chairman announced,
when the footings were handed to
him, that Ira Davenport of Steuben
county, was nominated for Govern
or.
The tallv showed 214 for Daven
port Car 194, Warren 130, Bliss 66,
Seward 54. Lewis county was the
first to change her vote, which cre
ated a regular stampedo to Daven
port Jefferson county followed. It
was the Bignal lor great cneenng.
Men stood on the benches, swung
their hats in the air and cheered for
DavenDort. The scene almost ri
valled the Chicago convention when
Blaine was nominated.
Davenport's nomination was made
unanimous amid great cneenng.
Hon. Joseph B. Carr was then nom
inated for Lieutenant Governor by
acclamation. No specially active
work had been done for Mr. Daven
port, though he had many friends
and no enemies.
On motion ot Mr. Draper, of Al
bany, it was voted to allow the rep
resentative ot labor interests to speair.
in behalt of those iuterests. Ex-
AaRemblvman David Healy was
then introduced, aud spoke earnest
lv and clearlv. He referred to va
rious former actions by the Re
publican party which were hailed
by the down-trodden as pointing
toward justice for them. He urged
this convention to follow such ac
tions. The subjects that Mr. Healy
most dwelt upon were monopoly
and contract labor. At the close of
bis address General Sharpe moved
that the Committee on Resolutions
be instructed to consider the points
raised by Mr. Healy, and if deemed
advisable embod his suggestions
thereon in the platform. The chair
map of the committee stated that
the platform had already been agreed
upon, but he believed that the la
boring class would find the points
mentioned by Mr. Healy fully rec
ognized. The Committee on Res
olutions then reported the platform,
which was read.
When the clause in the platform
relating to the preference in offices
to be civen to ex-soldiers was read,
Corporal Tanner, of Brooklyn, in
quired whether that meant if a sol
dier passed an examination that
Droved his competency should be
appointed even if a college graduate
of yesterday should pass at a higher
figure.
"It does," quickly rejoined Colonel
Bliss. "If a soldier passes at 80 and
a dude stands 100, the soldier gets
the place." (Great laughter.)
Many of the clauses in the plat
form were applauded as read. The
platform was unanimously adopted.
Anson S. Wood, of Franklin coun
ty, was nominated for Secretiry of
State, and James Wadsworth for
Controller.
Jaca Liaporte found Guilty of Murder
After tnree Hours' Ireliberation.
Huntingdon, Sept 24. The La

with a result that was little expect
ed by those who heard the proceed

morning session was occupied by R.
M. Speer, who delivered an eloquent
and touching appeal in behalf of the
prisoner. This afternoon District
Attorney Orlady summed up the
case of the Common wealth, and
Judge A. D. Furst delivered his
charge, and at half-past 5 the jury
retired to deliberate over a verdict
During the pleading of counsel a
most affecting hcene was presented.

lamity, together with the brothere
and sisters of the. prisoner. Bat near

feet away sat Mrs. Irwin, the widow

accompanied by her daughter and
near relatives. The greatest excite
ment was visible among the vast au
dience present as the legal counsel
rehearsed the details of the crime.
Large delegations of people from
Tyrone, Spruce Creek and Frank
linville, where young Laporte was
exceedingly popular, attended the
trial to-day and by their presence
bore testimony of their regard for
him.
At S:30 this evening, after three
hours' deliberation, the jury an
nounced that a verdict had been
reached by ringing the court bell,
and three minutes after the first tap
all the available space in the large
audience chamber was filled by an
excited throng. When the prisoner
was brought in by the Sheriff's dep
uties, he took his seat and leaned
back in hs chair with an appearance
of unconcern, but the pallor of his
countenance and his repeated long
drawn sighs indicated the suppress
ed emotions .that struggled in his
breast
When order was restored in the
court room and the Clerk of the
Court bad propounded the usual
question to the jury, "Guilty or not
guilty," the foreman of the jury
promptly replied "Guilt of mur

New York, Sept 24. The first
meeting of tne subscribers to tne

sylvania Railroad Company since
last June was beld intneomce oi
H. McK. Twomblv, Mr. Vander-
bilts son-in-law, tc-day. Amor.g
those present were Mr. Twombly,
Dr.- David Hostetter, of Pittburg ;
Mr. Dimock. Henry Lewu-.ot Phila
delphia; Francis Innes Gowen, of
Philadelphia, end several otner gen
tlemen who had proxies for all those
interested. - The meeting was de
scribed as harmonious by the gen
tlemen present but they were all
very reticent aB to particulars.
' It was learned to-night that the
object ot the meeting was to take
some action in view of the practical
abandonment of the road by the
Vanderbilt interest and it is believ
ed no more subscriptions will be
called in. It was the custom up to
two months ago to call in a monthly
instalment to keep up the work.
The majority of the subscribers gave
it as their opinion that no more
money should be put in the road
until some definite understanding is
arrived at in reference to its future.
It was said that Dr. Hostetter and
all the Pittsburg interests favor this
coor&e. Some of the Philadelphia
subscribers think that Mr. Gowan's
arrival should be awaited, and that
a further conference should be had.
In the meantime, it is said that Mr.
Vanderbilt has made final arrange
ments to sell bis whole interest in
the company, and has accepted 3
per cent bonds of the Bedford and
Bridgeport Railroad in payment
There are also rumors that Dr.
Hostetter has entirely changed his
position.
Dr. Hostetter said to-night :
"There was nothing done at the
meeting to-dav. and there will be
no further meetings until that to be
held m llarrisburg, when the At tor
ney General is to have his sav." It
is still believed that the sale will be
consummated.
READING'S LATEST SUIT.
The suit of the Reading Railroad
Company to enforce its contracts
with the South Pennsylvania was a
great surprise to everybody, though
it was decided some time ago by the
Reading managemet to lake legal
steps. The suit, if successful, will
compel the completion of the South
Pennsylvania. The most important
eflecf of the suit will be to cause
new breach between the Reading
8nci Pennsylvania Company, and
summarily end the recent overtures
for peace which promised so favor-
ablv.

Grkessbuko, Pa.. Sept 22. Bell
township this county was the coene
of a daring daylight robbery a day
or two ago, which was not reported
until to-dav. Y hue working m
field awif from the house Thomas
Neelev, who is a bachelor and livs
aloi.g with a bachelor brother named
John Neeley, was robbed of more
than -53,000, which was put away in
an old trunk under the bed. At
night when he retired, Thomas hap
pened to look for the trunk and
found it missing, lhe next day it
was found in a cornfield near by,
but the money had dwappeaJed.
Thomas Shay and a n.an named
Ananias llilty were arrested and
searched, but they were released be
cause of no evidence. These parties
have since sued Thomas Hilty for
damages, because of the arrest. A
woman who keeps house for the old
men, and whose reputation in sev
eral ways is questionable, was at the
bouse and failed to see anybody, a
circumstance which in considered
very suspicious about here. It is
probable she may be arrested.
The Suicide Mania.
Altoona, Sept. 22. Last evening
a man named John Braeelin, who
has been ill for some time and in low
spirits, took an overdose of lauda
num, but owing to the weak condi
tion of his stomach and the quick
action of his physicians the poison
was thrown off. This morning he
made an excuse to shave himself
and while in the act suddenly drew
the razor across his throat, cutting a
gash about three inches in lentrth.
but fortunately did not sever the
windpipe. Physicians were at once
summoned, who sewed up the
wound and at present he is improv

Dying In the Streets from Small-Pox.
Montreal, Sept 23. There were
forty-eight deaths from small-pox in
the city and suburbs yesterday, thirty-nine
of which were in the city
proper and nine in adjoining munic
ipalities. At a meeting of the Citi
zens' Committee to-day it was re
solved to open public subscriptions
to appoint detectives to prosecute
persons from tearing down the pla
cards. A man became sick with
small-pox in the streets after mid
night this morning and the people
were disturbed by shrieks for help.
Those who looked out were startled
at seeing a man in his night clothes
rushing up the street in a frenzy, fol
lowed by a women shrieking for
help. A shudder passed through
the observers when they noticed the
man to be a neighbor of theirs who
was suffering from the worst type of
confluent small-pox. The cries ofthe
distressed wife were therefore un
heeded, as no one felt brave enough
to ribk chances. Suddenly the man
fell prostrate on the sidewalk and
there writhed in agony, while bis
wife stood over him. The man was
Enoch Adams, employed on the
Grand Trunk Railway. The wife
finding that she could get no assis
tance from her neighbors went to
the police station, but on explaning
her case could get no one to go with
her. bhe then went further down
the street und met a civilian who
volunteered to help her in removing
her husband back to her house.
When they reached the prostrate
man he had been lying there in the
rain for three-quarters of an hour.
They each seized an arm and drag
ged him to his own door, lifting
him in there with his head resting
on the bottom stair. He gave a few
convulsive struggles and breathed
his last The wife then threw a
quilt over the body and there it re
mained till :o0 a. m. with the legs
projecting beyond the doorway.
The matter was reported to the po
lice stations, but the officers refus
ed to take any action. The sergeant
in charge said he would do nothing
until the health officers went down.
A report was then made to the
Health Office, and the body was re
moved at 9 o clock. At a meeting
ot the police Committee this after
noon the matter wis reported, and
the officers of the police stations
were severely censured for their in
human action.
In Duke st another small-pox pa
tient, who was running about the
streets in a wild delirium, dropped
dead. Hereafter the Health Office
will keep men on duty at night

Quaker determination has asserted
its force on the part of the prison

County Jail- for shelter. Yesterday
and to-day several of these nomads,
each ' with a good-sized ball and
chain attached to his leg, were put
to work at razing an old water res
ervoir. Some of the number grew
very indignant, and threw them
