"Watres, ot Scranton, nominated for lieutenant-Governor, and Thomas J. Stewart, of Norristown, for Secretary ol Internal Affairs. The noise and bustle iu the usually quiet eity of Harrisburg began with Mon daj, but it seemed to-be noise without meaning and bustle without profit. Friends of Hastings, Delamater, Montooth and Stone established their headquarters in the different parlors of the Lochiel House, during the day the candidates arrived, the front of the hotel was adorned with streamers and pictures, and one ban ner was stretched across the street. Brass bands were playing; the Delamater people were busy telling that he could have the Philadelphia delegation when he wonted it and electioneering for Col. Sclioonmaker, of Pitttbnrg, for secoud placfr with him as first; there was dickenoff back and forth as to who should bo selected for temporary and permanent chairmen; Hastings aud Montooth had a conference that evening, and a few men locked themselves in a room to write a platform. Tuesday the different clubs, all headed by brass bands, arrived in tbo town and paraded the streets. The Montooth special train of Pullman cars wa.s perhaps the large at that pulled into the depot, though the Lancaster delegation for Hast ings numbered foar hundred, and all day and nearly all night the streets echoed with music. - flßWtnnfiiil] was not present, but his ''"■ on Dick was there and bad a room at the Lochiel with a private wire from it to his father's bouse in Beaver, and Dick went about insisting that Delamater must be nominated, and that his father would be satisfied with nothing else. Delegates who refused to believo this aro said to have re ceived messsagea signed M. S. Q. and read ing, "I shall expect you to voto for Dela mater on second ballot." The sensation of the day was the effort of the Delamater people to fbrce Montooth to take second place. Every Delamater worker was instructed to say that Mon tooth would take second place, and though Montooth's friemds denied this, the Dela mater men went about with badges label ed "Delamater and Montooth," which Montooth's (tikn&s considered an insula During the day there was a reported break in the Philadelphia delegation from Hastings to Delamater, and yot both men were claiming about TO votes each on first ballot. Nobody knew exactly what the vote on first ballot' would JJe'or h'ow the Tote would change after that. A man in practical politics ifflike the man who started home on a dark nfght and coming across an old circus ring walked around - and around it till he dkl 'iiof know where he was. Wednesday morning everything pointed to the nomination of Delamater. It was easy to be-seen that the Philadelphia dele gation was rotten; that Delamater's friends ed to^ree^i^n^uTVplin^the'party. The tickets for admission to the galleries of the Opera House were dished out at the hotel that morning by one of Chairman Andrews' clerks, and the Delamater men got nearly all of them. The Opera House was crowded by ten o'clock; the delegates were in their seats, and at 10:30 Chairman Andrews called the convention to order. The roll was read by a clork; George S. Graham, of Philadelphia, was nominated and elected temporary chairman; com mittees on platform, credentials.' etc., were, ■eleoted; Walter S. Lyon, of Allegheny Co., was nominated and elected permanent chairman, and then the convention ad journed for one hour to give the committees time to make their reports. At 2:30 p.m. the Convention reassembled and Chairman Lyon called for nominations. J. J. Carter, of Crawford Co. nominated Delamater aud made a long speech; Geo. B. Orlady of Huntingdon nominated lllist ings naming him as a man whose success did not depend upon what the enemy (lid; Alfred Darte of Luzerne named Osborue; Major Moreland of Pittsburg named Mon tooth; W. E. Rice of Warren named Stnne. and Emerson Collins of Lycoming named McCormick. The roll was then called al phabetically by counties aud the first bal lot resulted as follows:—Delamater 84, Hastings 61, Montooth 30, Stone 15, Os borne 8, McCormick 3. Hastings had 24 ▼otes of the Philad'a delegation and Dela mater IS, Stouo 1 and Montooth l. The Chair announced no nomination,and ft second was ordered. It began in breath leesjileucft, and when Allegheny Co. was reached. tfcrM of- its delegates, , including Cbadrnuui Lypn. \;otqd far Delamater, • six. •f the Philad'a delegation "«Jhi4»ped Hast ingi and went to Dclamuter,- but-when the toll was competed h« did not yet" have enough to nominate him, and some more Phil'a and other dclegules changed their Totes, nominating him and making the bal lot stand as follow*:—Delamater 105. Ilust togs 08, Mentooth 19, Stone 15. Osborne 4, j McCormick 2. Then the.conyention adjourned till 7 p. M., and at the evening session Watres was Beminated4bs Lieut.-GOT. on lirst ballot. Montooth positively refusing the pluce. Stewart was nominated for Secretary with j out opposition. An effort was made to induce General Hastings to act as chairman of the Stato Committee, hut he refused, and Chairman Andrews was re-elected. The "platform" is of tho usual variety, excepting that the first and most prom inent plank endorses and vindicates The convention adjourned late that night. The 4th of July. Although Decoration Day has almost superseded the 4th of July as a day for a display of patriotism and loyalty to our government, and although it is hard to realize that this vast Nation sprang from a few English colonics scattered along our Atlantic seaboard, it will be well for all parents to touch their children the signifi cance of the event the day commemorates, and impress upon their minds as far as is possible the value of our institutions. True liberty does not mean license, and this Xation will continue to have a govern ment, Republican in both form and spirit, only so long as its people are true men and true women. All nations have as good governments as they deserve and no better. Adjourned till July Ist. A note of Wednesday's proceedings of the Congressional Conference at Xew Cas tle, was made last week's paper. On Thursday, the convention reasscm bled. The Beaver Co. delegation voted steadily for Townsend. excepting one time when wishing to make Jackson show his hand they all voted for McDowell, Butler voted Black. Lawrence for McDowell and Jackson, and Mercer for McDowell and Brown, giving McDowell 38 votes and making him the nominee, ii the vote had stood, but before it was announced, the Beaver men arose and changed their vote to Townsend. The Beaver men had /'strings to their votes" aud the matter was the subject ol considerable joking dur ing the next recess. The meaning of the thing was that Jackson is or was determin ed to beat Townsend. Then Beaver Co. wanted to adjourn, but that was voted down, aud the order of voting was reversed, i:e, from Beaver, Butler. Lawrence and Mercer, to Mercer, Lawrence. Butler and Beaver, aud ballot ing was continued until forty-eight ballots had taken ivhen the Convention adjourned till next day. Oil Friday, balloting was continued, Beaver voting steadily for Townsend, aLd Butler, Lawrence and Mercer compliment ing each other with a few votes occasion ally. During the day the Butler delegation resisted propositions from both the Law rence and Mercer delegations, either of which would have led to tho nomination of McDowell, and the Convention resolved that when it did adjourn it would adjourn to meet in New Castle on July Ist. Late that night after 100 ballots had been taken, the Beaver men made another effort to adjourd and succeeded; Mercer Co. giving them fourteen votes and Law rence three, making 31 in all, a hart; ma jority, and the Convention stood adjourned. The Beaver men wished to adjourn till af ter the State Convention, when they ex pect some help from t^uay. The Butler delegation pursued an hon orable course throughout, Galbreath's speech was tho best nude, and the delega tion eauie home with nothing to regret. A Shocking Execution. ELKO, Nev., June 20. —One ol the most terrible scenes in the history of death by the noose was witnessed in the Elko jail yards thU morning, when Josiali and Elizabeth Potts were hanged for tho mur der of Miles Faucctt. Hardened men shuddered and turned pale as they saw the woman's head nearly cut oil by the rope and tho blood drench her clothing, while beside her swung in fearful contortions the i tho body of her husband. A MOST HIDEOUS CRIME. Tho Pottses have been in jail over a year for a particularly atrocious murder on Xew , ear's day, 188 K. Faucett was a well-to do bachelor, 70 ycats old, aud born, like ' the Pottses, in" Manchester, Eng. They ' were friends, but Faucctt disappeared, and ! about a year afterward tho Pottses were ' arrested." At their trial evidence which i was clearly circumstantial showed that for tho sake "of obtaining ready money the woman had struck her victim on the head with an ax, then crushed his skull to pre vent identification. Xot satisfied with this, the two est up the body, and the woman tried to boil it down, but could not on ac -1 count of the stench. She tried to feed it to animals, and ended it by burying the body uuder the house. TUB WOMAN MUCH THE WORSE. I The man was a spiritless being, but his wife had all the spirit, venom and bitter ness of a hardened woman, so that an awful scene was expoctod to precede tho execution. During the time she was iu jail Elizabeth gave ample proof of her fcar ftil temper and terrible tonguo. Last night she had her last tantrum. She upbraided her husband, called him a coward and sneak, and when the officers attempted to reply, turned on them and berated them fiercely. Then she wont to bod, but not without hurling a curse at her husband. She closed her eyes aud seemed to sleep, just as she had done on Wednesday when she sought suicide, when suddenly one of the watchers heard her gasp, and when he asked her what was the matter, she leebly asked for water. The guards then dis covered upou investigation that she had severed an artery right before their eyes. A physician fixed up tho wound, after which she was uever loft alone for a mo ment up to the moment of her death iu the most shocking manner to-day. Portersville, Pa. JUNK 26tli, IS9O. Rev. Wright of Coultersvillc, held com munion iu the Presbyterian church on last Sabbath. Will. Covert returned home from Tarkio, Mo., where he has been working for the last fonr years. His many friends greet him with a hearty shake of the hand. Dr. S. E. McClynionds aud family, for merly of this place, but now residents of Mo., returned home to their many friends on a visit for a few weeks. We ure all glad to sec our old neighbors. Prof. John McClynionds, son of James McClymouds, who is Sup't of the schools in California, returned homo to see his father once more, it being 18 years since lie left this place. Mrs. Fulnier, daughter of Robert and Nancy Badger of this place, has come homo to pay her parents a visit, it being a number of years since she left Portersville. Charley Kennedy and wife of Sharon, were the gnests of his father, Win. Kenne dy, a few days last week. Miss Buo Glenn has returned from Slip peryroek, where she has been attending school. Sup't McCullough hold an examination in the Portersville school-house on last Friday. Bis class numbered 18. The teachers speak very highly of the Profess or.

A pleasant surprise party was held at tho house of James Newton, on Saturday, June 21-t. it being Mr. Newton's birthday. I host of friends numbering about three hundred gathered around his homo with oyertlowing baskets of refreshments of all kinds. The Portersville Cornet Band and Orchestra made the woods and fi"lds re sound with the finest of music while the ,'adies prepared dinner. 11. K. Hebcrling and Frank Covert were appointed a com mittee to escort Rev. Haistou and .Mr. Vow ton aud wife to dinner, which they lid in a very graceful manner. After din ner Her. Ralston made a few remarks and then at Mr. Newton's request asked God's Uicssing, after which the band played the long meter doxology. Then the friends gathered together aud general pooil time until about five o'clock when tho older folks started for home, while the younger stayed until the cool of tho evening. Mr. .Newton exteuds his thanks to his many Jriends. YITA.

In a letter to his father, who lives in Butler. George Ueydrick who is now doing some surveying in Kentucky, related an exciting experience that he had a tew daj s ago. He was ridiug along the road, and as he neared a log cabin he noticed a jiirl hiding in a fence corner, a moment alter an old man came out of the cabin ll h a Winchester in his hands and began blazing away at him. The lirst shot whizzed past his face, the second struck the fence along side him and a third struck anl slightly wounded the horse he was riding, which turned and galloped off for all it worth. As soon as he reached a town he went to a Justice of the Peace and told his story and wanted the man arrested,but the crowd that gathered talked him out of it It appeared that the girl had gone out to meet her "feller." whom the . Limeri and stopped at every port between there and this place, Talara Bay. The lirst port is called Buena Ventura, meaning bonny fortune, so-called by Morgan, the pirate, after his successful raid and burtiiug ot Panama. The finest scenery 1 ever saw in my life is at Tamaca. At Bahia we took cargo —all cocoa beans, which are raised here in great quantities. Chocolate is made from these beans. At Wauta they manufacture Panama iiats of a kind of root which grows here. It is so finely woven that rain has no effect upon it. The hats cannot be broken; you can crush them up and put them in your pocket; they last a lifetime and cost from #4 to sloo a piece; it takes as high as a year to make them. The largest place we stopped at was Guayaquil, in Ecuador, where I saw some of the most beautiful women I ever saw. They are both white and black, small and finely built, and have small but regular features. In fact, they are daisies when young, but perfect looking old hags after becoming 30 years of age. They all were high heeled shoes and walk very oddly. Guayaquil is a town of about 20,000, and there is not a pane of window glass in the whole place that I saw. There are at least 15 or 'JO churches in the town—All Roman Catholic. I went to a mass and heard some very fine singing. At some of the churches they don't provide any seats. \ou sec the higher class of Spanish and Indians going to church, their servants following them with chairs. It looks funny to an Ameri can. The country round is low and swampy and covered with heavy forests. The place is very sickly. Fruit is at si discount here; you can buy a dozen of pineapples for 10 cents anil the largest bunches of bananas I ever saw are sold for 40 cents, a dozen of cocoanuts for 10 cents, and so on. But food is dear. At the next port we stopped, the character of the country was all changed. The climate is very healthy, the only fault I have with it there has been no rain here for seven years. There is not a blade of grass, a tree, nor anything green in sight—nothing but sand and hill4>n one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other. You liave heard a song ' The Lighthouse by the sea." I not only sing it, but sleep in it. I tell you it is very nice to see the looming ol the big waves as you go to sleep, but the romance is all knocked out of it when you go to bed and find lizards and sand ants that aro worse than bedbugs in your bed. But I am pleased with the trip and am in the best of health. I am going 1200 miles farther south very soon. Good bye with love to all. From your loving brother. Gust Sell muck, who is now in Burmah, with some other Americans drilling an oil well, writes to a friend in Emlenton as fol lows: This is the poorest country 1 ever lived in. lam ceriain. It is nothing but Mud hills all cut. up with water courses, called chauugs or mnllas. These arc all dry at present and have been ever since we came into the country; have had hut two light rains in all this time. The rainy season will commence about the 13th of this month (May) then water will be run ning in every direction for the next live or six months." Our water for drinking, cook ing and bathing is all brought three miles l'romtbelrrwady River on bullock carts. One barrel is a load for two oxen and they in iko two trips a day. The oxen are about the size of a Jersey cow and have a hump 011 the shoulders. The ox driver manages his oxen with two lines, the same as team sters do a team of horses, except that the native has no bit to put in the ox's mouth, but punches a hole through its nose, that is, from one nostril through to another, then passes a thin rope through the hole, brings the two ends up on the head close behind the horns and ears and tics it firm -Iv, as there it remains till rotted away. The line is tied into this loop or bridle, I don't know the proper name for it. Their carts are made entirely of wood. There is not one bit of iron in the whole outfit, except sometimes a driver will put a brass bell on the neck of one of his bul locks, but for every brass hell you will see a dozen wooben ones. There is no native blacksmith shop near here that I know of. I saw one at a town named Mihlah when we were coming un on the boat. The Burmese think wo (ire wonderful people, in fact supernatural, and think wo ongut to go to their pagodas (places of worship) and allow them to pray to us. Of course we cannot talk to them nor they to us, but the Company's agent, who talks the throe languages, told us that they had told him this. One day shortly after our arrival here wo were placing sonto sills. While two or three of us rolled over the mam sill a number of liuriue.se oil pro ducers were standing by with the agent watching us aad they exclaimed, "Can three white men roll that timber over?" Thu agent said, "Yes, easily," and at the same tiuie asked them how many Bnrraans is would take, and they said it would take 18 or 20 at least. Some of them pray that we get dry holes. They say the white devils should go back to their own country and let them get their own oil out of the ground. I have see very little vegetation in this country. There are a few cocoanut trees, a few palm or palmetto, I don't know which; some cactus, and some larj;e trees I don't know the names of. Natives raise corn and rice in part of Burmali but not here. Beans and onions are all 1 have soon under cultivation in this country. The thermometer has registered from 105 to 107 deg. nearly every day for the past four or live weeks.

Father Mollinger of Troy hill is -erions ill. the result of overwork during the late | celebration at his church. A peculiar story was developed at a trial before Alderman MiMasters of Pittsburg, la-t Saturday afternoon in which Mi-s Kn tic Logan charged John Stehlcy, a pump er in the liakerntown oil field, with refus ing to marry her. Miss Logan's parents separated 16 years ago and have not met since. She lived with her father at Bak crstown aud her mother has remained with two other daughters in Pittsburg. Mrs. Logan and Katie did not meet since the latter was two years old until last Friday, when the latter came to her mother's home and related the circumstances of her down fall. The two then went to the Alderman's office and made the charge against Mali ley. Stahley said he was willing to marry the girl, but that conld not be done until her father's eonseut is secured. At Mi-rcerlast week, 11. IV. Ellis got a verdict vs the L. S. A M. S. R- R. of $"•- 900, for being struck at a crossing, by a train that did not whistle or slacken its speed. At Leechburg. last Friday, "original package"' Silverman disposed of sixty-five bbls of beer. Justice I'iper of Beaver Co., lately drew up letters of separation between a Hungar ian named Stephen Busse and wife. She took the furniture and gave Busse s<>o. It seems she has been keeping company with another Hungarian in the North End and he furnished the SOO. They all think the letters of separation is a divorce and now Mrs. Busse and the man who fur nished the money are living together as man and wife" It is said the man already rues his bargain and wants Busse to take back the woman and refund the money, but Busse is satisfied with things as they are and refuses to have anything more to do with the woman. August 25 will be a big day in Greens burg. Pa. The electric street railway will be completed on that day. and business is to be suspended in honor of the event. Hold your tongue! Mrs. John Earns, ol Armstrong Co.. recovered S4OO last week in a suit for siander instituted by her against a neighbor. 1). C. Rogers, who has been living iu Kittanuing with his wife and two children for about two months, was arrested a few days ago on the charge of embezzling 500 from different I O O F lodges of Pitts burg. A Livermore fisherman the other day in lifting his outline secured three or four good fish, and then a hook came to the surface bearing a portion of a human scalp, covered with light brown hair five or six inches iu length. This was in the Cone liiaugli, and doubtless this was a portion of the remains of one of the Johnstown flood victims. The fisherman no longer easts bis lines in that stream. The adm'ssion of Miss Alice McGce to the bar at Warren is having the effect of stimulating other young ladies to similar aehievments. Miss Florence M. Cook, of- I'ittsburg,a school teacher.has declared her intention of submitting to examination as a student at law. Courting is always more pleasant when ladies are actively engaged in the proceedings, says a Butler youth ol the male persuasion, and a law student himself. Barney Hoover, au aged citizen of Plum township, Venango Co., was the victim of a bold robery last Friday night or Satur day morning. Mr. Hoover lives alone in his isolated house near Sunville. The nearest residennce is his sou's house, about 150 yards away. At midnight oil Friday, the old gentleman was awakened by a knock at his door. Upon opening the door, he was struck ou the head with a club aud ! knocked senseless. The robbers then bound liim, an l began to search the house. They fouud a sum of money, variously es timated at from S2OO to SSOO, which they took. They then stole Mr. Hoover's horse and rode him turn about till they reached Coon WaUace's place, on the Wallaceville and Cherry tree road, where they left the animal. The thieves seemed to be head ing for Titnsville or Oil City. A ease of considerable interest to the A 0 U W was settled in the United States court, in Pittsburgh lately, in which Mrs. Susan Little was the wife of Mr. George Hoffman, who died two or three years ago. Mr. Hoffman had been a member of Ac tive Lodge No. 21, A O U W, for some time; having family troubles he stopped paying his assessments and was suspended by the lodge, but before the suspension had been ir.ade by the Grand Lodge, Mrs. Hoffman tendered payment of the assess ments and it was refused. Hoffman died shortly thereafter, whereupon his widow demanded payment of the face of the poli cy ($2000) and the Grand Lodge refused. The United States court ruled that the tender of the money was equivalent to pay ment, and the case was settled before it reached trial, the plaintiff receiving $1650. A. C. Crouch, of Petersburg, Jud.. and It. B.
