Andrews, of the State Republican Committee, has issued a call to the State Convention to meet in llarrisburg on August 10, to nominate candidates for the oiiices of Rate Treasurer and Auditor General, for the nomination of eighteen candidates for delegates-at-large to the Constitu tional Convention provided for in the act of Assembly, approved Jun 19, 1S91, and for the transaction of such other business as may be presented.

Tbe ad aiinsion that Virginia was stolen from the Republicans in the last Presi dential campaign comes rather bite iu the day, but it corroborates the charge made by them at the time that the State was stolen, although the Iemocrats vig orously denied it.

" i Govkrso Pattisox has approved the bill providing for a Constitutional Con vention should the voters of the State at tbe election in November next declare in i favor of it. The bill provides for twenty wven delegates-at-large and one hundred nd fifty from the fifty Senatorial dis tricta in tbe Bute, thus giving three dele gate to each Senatorial district.

The utility of holding ; such a convention is, in our judgment, a ; mutter of grave doubt.

Thf. Iiepubliean State Convention held in Ohio last week was a veritable love feast, and our friends all over the country are rejoicing and have taken new cour age from the harmony and enthusiasm with which Major McKinley was named for Governor. His career as a soldier and a legislative leader, with his spotless record and private character, make him beyond all doubt the strongest candidate that could have been selected. Ilis forceful and courageous 6peech to the convention covered the whole ground of ReDublican faith and will be accepted throughout the country as an embodi ment of the sum and substance of the principles for which the Republican par ty of the Union will do battle in lSV-'. All over the land the contest in Ohio will be watched w ith the keenest inter est by men of every shade of political opinion, because the battle is of National importance and w ill be mainly fought on National issues. The name of Mc Kinley is a household word throughout the country, and is as well known abroad as it is at home. The law bearing his name is fraught with the industrial in terests not only of this country, but of the world. The first great test of lU ac ceptability will be made at his own home, and the verdict of his own State, rendered in November next, will be largely accepted as an endorsement or censure of the tariff act of the last Con gress. No man of intelligence can fail to recosmize this fact and that the issue is of tremendous importance to the friends of protection, to home labor and home resources. The nlatform erected by tbe conven tion is throuzhout an embodiment of azrreive Itepublicanism, but the con test will be mainly waged on the tariff and bi-metalism. Ohio has made up the issues for 1S'.2- Her candidate for Gov ernor stands for all that is distinctively Reoublican : he is in perfect accord w ith all the principles of the party, and his canvass appeals to the sympathy of every Reoublican in the land. J lis victory will carry rejoicing to every Republican heart. Blowing Hot and Cold for the Peo ple's Party. From the Sew York Mail ud Express. The innate and irreconcilable antagoniim between the Northwestern and the South eastern brandita of the Farmers' Alliance has taken on a new phase, and one that may possibly lead to some strange results. At the late Cincinnati Convention that launched the People's party the boomers of the party idea were all North westerners. The Southeasternem opposed the formation ufa parly at that time, and some of tbem had the frankness to hay ojienly that they were democrats, and expected to remain so. But the enthusiasm of the North westerner prevailed, and the People's party wa form ed. Since they have gone home, however, the Kansas and Ohio and Indiana and other Northwestern Alliance people have been thinking over things. They that ifth y go into a new jarty and the Southeastern Alliance ui-a do not, they will, if they are successful, simply throw the control ot na tional affairs into the hands of the demo crats. This they do not want to do, and so a great many of them have rone back, so fur as partisan action is concerned, to their old Irty. Now conies the turn of the Soulheasteners. They are cute enough to see that it will not do for them, by seeming to stand aloof, to drive their Northwestern brethren back into the Republican body. Therefore they are noisily asserting that they are as good Alli ance men a anybody, and propose to capt ure everything for the People's party. Thus the Atlanta State Alliance, in its last issue, says that there is "little chance of Georgia going democratic in lsf.'," and that "unless a great chung. takes place in their sentiment every influence combined cannot Keep the farmer of that State from gjing into a new party." iir farmers say," quoth this Georgia organ, "that the Western Alliance men have stood by their every promi-e, and they are going to do their part as well." We have already quoted tbe significant utter ance of the North Carolina State organ of the Alliance, Col. Polk's paper, the Vroyra tire Faruier, in favor of the People's party. The game is evident. If the Southeastern, "brethren" can persuade the Northwttern "brethren" that they are ia earnest and will support the People's party in lW'Z, then the North westerners will go ahead and soiah the Republican larty, and the Southeastern ers can go through the motions of a separate party until a little while before election, and then tbey can get scared by the old cry of Negro domination, and allege that in self defense they must vote the democratic ticket. It is a very pretty game, but will the Northwestern Alliance people allow ii to be played upon them ? McKinley Nominated. The Ohio Republican State Convention on Wednesday nominated Major William McKinley for Governor by aai lamation. The rest of the ticket was made np as follows : Lieutenant-Governor, Andrew L. Harris ; State Treasurer, W. T. Cope ; Auditor of State, E. W. Poe ; Attorney General, J. K. Iticbards ; Supreme Judge, M. J. Williams ; Member of the Board of Public Works, C. E. Grace. Speeches were made by Major McKinley ex-Governor J. B. Foraker and Senator John Sherman. The platform adopted declares for protec tion ; recognize the McKinley bill as the ablest expression of that principle ; demands prutec'Jon for the wool industry ; endorse, the Amended Coinage act ; demand the enactment of laws to protect tbe country against the influx of the vicious and crimin al classes of foreigu nations, and the impor tation of laborers under contract ; favors liberal pensions to soldiers and sailors ; ap proves the administration of President Har rison, and especially commends the policy of reciprocity : commends the foreign poli cy of the Administration, and denounces the administration of Governor Campbell. A Chinese Pensioner. I.vdiasa, Pa.. June 17. Thomas Sylvan na. better known as " Tom Chinaman." died here yesterday. He was born in Hong Kong in 143, and came to this country in IS.57. He enlisted in the Eighty-firt Penn sylvania Volunteers in l:i and was tb first Chinaman who was enrolled in the war. He participated in a number nf hat. ties, ard was captured at Petersburg and confined in Andersonville. At the close of the war be was naturalized aa an Amerinn citizen in the Vnited States Court at Pitts burgh, the records showing that he was the nrst Lmnaman to throw off the allegiance to the Chinese emperor. He then cam hr. and married an American girl, and at the time oi bis oeath was the father or three children, all of whom have the ilmnnH ,.. ed eyes and the peculiar bronzed complex ion oi tut cninese beatben. Tom professed Christianity, and was a member of the M. E. church. Tom was grouted a pension khu .r. ago on account of disability incurred ia tbe service, and was the only Chinese pensioner on the government rolia. He was buried to-day with the honors of war by his com- raaes oi Indiana I'ost No. 28, G. A. R, Governor Pattison Vetoes Farr Educational Bill. HF.b!m fcu, June 13 Governor Patlisou to-lay vetoed the Compulsory Kdueational bill introduced by Farr, of lackawanna. The veto message reads : This legislation is tbe first step taken by our Commonwealth in the direction of com pulsory education. Tbe feature of a com pulsory school system in vol Tea serious polit ical, edudational and social problems. They have not yet been definitely or satisfactorily solved by the experience of other States. In grappling with tbem. therefore, it is needful that sure ground should be occupied in order that it may be successfully main- tainrd. A LAW OF t 5CEKTAIS CHAkUTEB. "The Slate has provided with increasing liberality fr the education of all the chil dren of all it-citut-as; while it baa furnish ed the opportunity it has opposed tbe obli gation of attendance cpon none. Free at tendance upon free schools seems most to befit a free j-eople. I am well aware of the necessity claimed to exist for compelling a certain class of tbe people to avail them selves of tbe opiortuniiir afforded them. but compulsory education is such an inva sion upon existing ey stems in oar Common wealth that if it U to be inaugurated it should be under the most favorable circum stances. It will not avail to pass a law of an uncertain character or so widely at vari ance with popular sense of what is just that it shall be a dead letter on the statute books. "I am of the opinion that the essential conditions are not to be found in the bill undi-r review, and I do not believe that tbe plan proposed will promote tbe public wel fare. It compels all parents and guardians to send their children or wards, between 8 and 1-1 years of age to school, except mental or physical conditions or other urgent rea sons excuse. What are the urgent reasons must be determined by tbe different school boards, and it can easily be forseen that the interpretation of these important qualifying words will vary widely in different commu nities and in different school boards. This is an uncertainty which should not exist in so important a law. BE'iARMKG HOME rM'OATlOH. "Moreover, the act makes no allowance or provision for the namerous c!ats of persons who may see fit to educate their children in their own homes, which is certainly not an evil or an occasion for sound objection. A bill which will inflict penalties upon thee citizens is highly objectionable, whatever other merits it may pottsihly potes. Tbe plan by which this bill proposes to enforce compulsory education is cumbersome and vexatious, and may entail enormous ex pense upon the school districts of the Com monwealth. All children of the years pre scribed in tbe act are to be assessed, their names returned to the county commission ers, and by them returned to tbe different school boards. The secretary of the school board must return tbem to the district school teacher. He or the in return must report back to the school board the numcs of all the children in tiieir kchool districts who shall appear to be delinquent. This l.-txjr will only be second in its extent to that of the secretary of each school board, who is charged with the duty of inquiring into and prosecuting every case of delin quency. His search and prosecutions re sulting from this inquiry, if not thorough, will practically render the whole system abortive. If his labor be prosecuted with energy and zeal, each school board will rind itelf involved in a large number of suits and prosecution, and then if before the committing magistrate shall be established the poverty or other satisfactory excuses of the arenut, all the expenaes of tbe litigation are to be saddled on the school districts. In view of the readiness of the ordinary magis trate to entertain litigation when theoosu of the same are to be paid out of some pub lic fund, it can easily be imagined that this system will be a fruitful source of grave public abuses. TUX BILL WOl'LD WOKE EVIL.. "I can discern no promise of relief from these difficulties in the proposition to create a new State board outside of tbe school de partment, to formulate rules and regulations which could at best have no binding author ity whatever upon the school boards and the controllers. In the full development of our educational system it may be that tbe Commonwealth will find it salutary to es tablish some system of compulsory educa tion, but I am confident that its inaugura tion under the conditions prescribed in this bill would be of no substantial public advan tage and might work most person. evil in the very cause in behalf of which it is evoked." A Family Poisoned. Ha;erstowx, Md- June l'J. A case of poisoning is rejorted from the village of Locust Grove. Va Saturday last Daniel ShiiHer, a farmer, found in the lane near bis bouse a package of Hour and another of coffee. He sought for an owner, and not finding one, gave the articles to a Mrs. McKurron. She used the rlourand her entire family were made very sick. One boy died and another ia expected to die. The other members of the family, consisting of the husband, wife and two children, will recover. A post mortem showed that poison had been mixed with the flour. Two years ago an attempt vas made to poison Mr. SbirHer's stock, and year ago his barns were burned down. Tbe authori ties, convinced that the poisoned Cour and coffee were intended for Mr. Shiftier' fam ily, are searching for tbe miscreant among thote known to be at enmity with him. A Rain Producer. Spkis.ipielo, O., June Jl. Canton, in North Central Ohio, was visited on Friday night by the muet disastrous storm ever known in its hi-tory. The Metorological Bureau observer states that the rainfall in one hour's time was over three inches. Hun dreds of cellars and basements of business blocks were llxxled. The most peculiar feature of the storm is that Frank Melbourne, an Australian, wbo has made this place his home, claims tbe credit of bringing tbe storm. Melbourne is here for the purpose of carrying on experi ments with a machine which be says be has invented to bring rain whenever desired. He has been here over a month, and a stranpe coincidence is that ever since he has pretended to conduct his experiments beavy rain has fallen on an average of once a day. The storms have been conducted by severe electrical disturbances and much damage has been done. Mr. Melbourne not only states that be brought the storm, but that if he bad shut off the machine one day earlier the disaster would not have happened. He claims that he can bring rain in from three to six hours. Helpless in the Clouds. Paats, June IS. At La Villette yesterday a professional aeronaut made an ascension accompanied by inexperienced persons. When the balloon had reached a height of not more than sixty feet from the ground the aeronaut, wbo bad been busily en gaged on the outside of the car, lost his balance and fell to tbe earth. He was picked up terribly injured. Meanwhile the ballon and its two remain ing occupants mounted op until lost to sight among the clouds.

Notiue is esitecially directed to th- fact that, in accordance with the provisions of the last mentioned act. each Senatorial dis trust is entitled to a representation of three delegates in said Constitutional Convention, two of whom only cam be members of the majority party in said district. The elect on of each district are, therefore, ripjested to make proper nominations for delegates to said convention, the rnles governing the nomination of candidates for State Senator to be applicable. In this connection the Chairman desires to call the attention of Republican voters to tbe recommendation of the State Convention of that " they al low tbe greatest freedom in the general par ticipation in the primaries consistent with the preservation of tbe party organization."

Neeb, of Allegheny, in an interview yesterday, speaking of the Ba ker ballot reform bill, said : " The Uw is a bad one, and I am surprised to see that the Governor signed it. To commence with, the Baker bill went to the committee on elections and came out in miserable shape. The conference committee, of which I was a member, spent nine hours one day consider ing the bill, and at tbe close of the session I refused to sign the measure. The bill as it now stands is to my mind abortive. It is too cumbersome to be effective and will cost the State $oJO,0 W every time an election is held. The making of booths is an item of expense that will astonish the people. Then the hiring of rooms and afterwards the stor ing away of the booths will be costly. Elec tion officers now have a bard time to find places for the ballot-boxes, but tbey are mere bagatelles compared with the booths to be used after the next two elections are held. The bill ought to be styled An act to pre vent the casting of a large number of votes in big city districts, or, ' a bill to obstruct voting.' In Urge cities, say Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, most of the voting is done between the hours of o and 7 p. m., aud this law will prevent hundreds from voting be- j cause of the time it takes a man to cast his ballot. The provisions do not make the ballot more secret, either. I think the first trial will disgust tbe people, and I am anx iously awaiting to see the experiment." A Four-Cornered Duel. Xtw Yoek. June 1?. The steamship South Portland, of the WTcsscls, arrived from Jamaica ports this afternoon. Oa the after noon of June 12 the Portland touched at Port Marie. Mate Lowell was sent on shore to get the mails. On his way to the post office he came across a crowd of blacks on the village green. There must have been at least o"0 of them and when Mr. Lowell in quired what the row was about, they inform ed him that a battle royal was just about to begin. Four coolies, all natives of the town had become involved in a controversy, and had decided to fight to the death. FOl'E BLADES GATHEP B BLOOD. In the centre of the green an enclosure had been roped off, aud iu.-ide of it, at each cor ner, stood one of the four contestauts. They were stripped to tbe waist, and each man grasped in his right band a knife with a blade seven inched long. For a moment the men stood glaring at each other, then the word was given and the fight began. It was a case of every man for himself w ith s ven geance. Mate Lowell says that without any exceptions it was the most fearful sight he ever witnessed. In rive minutes it was all over. STABBEIl HIMSELF TO DEATH. When the police arrived upon the scene three bodies-backed almost beyond recogni tion lay inside tbe ropes. The fourth man was so crazed by his wounds that before the police could lay hands on him he drove his own knife through bis heart. Making Figures Lie. Wasiiikgtost, June 19. Figures may never lie, but that they can be made to lie is appa rent jfrom a perusal of Pemocratic news papers these times, which, in their effort to thtow discredit upon the aJruini-traiion, are bowling about a deficit in the T4sury, As a matter of fact, up tu thecijM ofbusi nca yesterday the Treasury had an availa ble balance of iJ,si2,i outside of the i.'V on deposit in national banks, which is as much available as if it were in the vault of the Treasury.

GaEEXsnrau, June 11 During the past few days there have been brought to the County Home about 25 Hungarians, all of whom are afflicted with a peculiar disease. It is likely to prove fatal in a number of cases. The disease affects their lower limbs, from the thigh to the soles of their feet and is somewhat in the nature of smallpox. The Huns were all brought from the coke region, and the number is being daily aug mented. The matter was kept a secret un til this morning. The doctors in attendance think it is ail attributable to the sulphuric gas from the coke ovens. The health au thorities are greatly alarmed, and are at a loss to know w hat course to pursue.

Highest of all in Leavening Power. sABSOLUTEUaf PURE Nervous Prostration. The symptoms begin in spring and early summer. Tbey resemble the symptoms of malaria very closely. It is a proline source of paralysis, sunstroke, apoplexy, insanity, hysteria and insomnia. Tbe strong and weak of both sexes alike are its victims. Creeping rigors, slight chilly feelings and cold sweat, especially at night, tired feelings, drowsiness, mental confusion, despondency, morbid fear, pale, abundant urine, weak back and palpitation. No one who has any or all of the above symptoms should neglect to get Pe-ru-na and use it faithfully until they ntirely disappear. It is a perfect n mcdy for this condition. As tbe hot Wtather with all of its depressing effects ap proaches, Fc-ru-ua invigorates and tones up the nervous system, averting nervous pros it Alion iu ail its various forms, and, taken in the mor-t advanced stages of the disease, will crmaneiitly cure every uncomplicated rase.

A sensational shooting affair occurred at McKeesport at 10:3o last night, resulting in tbe dtafh of William Meyers, and the serious injury of Mrs. William Harding. Both are married. Myers had been making love to Mrs. Hard ing for several months. Yesterday the My ers and Harding families attended a picnic, and Myers renewed his attentions, but Mrs. Harding took little notice of him. Myers wanted to dance with her, but she refused, not caring to arouse the jealousy of Mrs. Meyers. Meyers then proposed to sell his projierty und elope to Germany with Mrs. Harding, hut she did not think be was in earnest. After the picnic the Meyers and Harding families went home together, with theexcep tion of Mrs. Meyers, who bad gone on ahead. When the party reac'ied Myers' home Mr. Harding invited Meyers to his house and Meyers went with him. (la their arrival Harding went out in the yard to lock up bis chicken coop, and Meyers said to Mrs. Hard ing: Will you like me?" Mrs. Harding replied : "No," whereupon Myers shot her twie in the breast. He thi n put a bullet in his own brain, dying immediately. Mrs. Harding will likely re cover. Meyers and Harding were mill workers. New License Laws. Gov. Patti-on has attached his signature to the wholesale license act, which it is esti mated will increase the annual revenues of the .-tate between tiOO.KMU and $.Vt,0w). The law increases the license fee of whole sale liquor dealers in cities of the first at. second classes from f 00 to $l,t!uG ; fixes the rate of cities of the third claaa at ioiu; in other cities at Jm , in boroughs at J"i, and in townships at ilOi, all of which fee are payable into the state treasury. A bottler's license is fixed at i-lnO in cities, I J "J in boroughs, and in townships. Distillers and brewers are permitted to de liver their products within thecounty where the license is granted, and all wairous u--d in delivering liquors are required to contain the name cf the licensee and the number oi hi-license in conspicuous letters and figures. This act makos it unlawful for any rectifier, compounder, distilleror manufacturer to tell liquors in less quantities than one gailou, or any wholesale dealer or storekeeper to sell spirituous or vinous liquors in less quanti ties than one quart, and brewed or malt liquors in leas quantities than twelve pint bottles, A bill of great importance to counties, cities, boroughs and townships was also ap proved by the governor. This is an amend ment to tbe Brooks high license Uw, and re quires that all license fees be paid into the county, city, borough and town. hips treasu ries. In cities $lK) of the fee shall be paid into the county treasuries ; in borou;'is. and townships one-tlflh of the aruount uf the f, the balance to be paid Into city, borough and township truasurica. As the new Uw allow the state nothing it wiil luseanual'y between $l'X,t00 and $.n,0O in revenues, Just about the same amount the wholesale law will add to the revenuus of the public treasury. The bill as it passed both houses made no change iu the license fee, but simply provid ed for a different distribution of the funds than that recognized by the old law. As it passed the senate the bill allowed the coun ties none of the license money. When it reached the house the counties were voted a share of tbe receipts, which led to the ref erence of the hill to a conference committer, j which increased the amount the fee ir, cjlits of the first and second claises from 7tp0 to$lt). The rate prevailing in other places was not touched. An Indian's Fair Bride. A wedding of more thun ordinary interest was celebrated at the Church of the Ascen sion, New York, at high noon, June H.

Dr. Eastman is the government physician at Pine Ridge Agency. He was educated at Ii.'.oit College, Michigan, and at Dartmouth College, from which he was graduated with honors, being ciasr orator in the class of '87.
