Republican State Convention
Chairman Andrews of the Republican
State Committe, issued tho following call
for the holding of the State convention this
year.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa; June 20, IS9I. — To
the Jlejjubliean Electors of Pennsylvania:
Alter consultation and correspondence
with the members of the Republican State
Committee, and by their direction, I here
by give notice that the Republicans of
Pennsylvania, by their duly chosen repre
sentatives will meet in State Convention,
at Harrisburg,'on Wednesday, August, 19th
1891, at 10 o'clock A. M., for the purpose
ofplacing in nomination candidates for the
offices of the State Treasurer and Auditor
Genaral, for the nomination of eighteen
candidates for delegates at large to the
Constitutional Convention provided for in
tho act of Assembly approved on June
19th, 1891, and for the transaction of such
other business as may bo presented.
Notice is specially directed to the fact
that in accordance with the provisions of
the last mentioned act, each Senatorial dis
trict is entitled to a representation of three
delegates in said constitutional convention,
two of whom only can be members of the
majoritv party in said district. The electors
of each district are therefore requested to
make proper nominations for delegates to
said convention, the rules governing the
nomination of cadidates for State Senator
to be applicable.
In this connection the chairman desires
to call the attention of the Republican vot
ers to the reccommendation of the State
convention of 1882, that "they allow the
greatest freedom in the general participa
tion in the primaries consistent with the
preservation of the parly organization.''
WILLI AK H. ANDREWS, Chairman
FRANK WILLIJIO LBACH, Secretary
TO-MORROW a week this nation will cele
brate its one hundred and fifteenth Fourth
of-July. Th» 4th of July, 1776, was the
first, and the people then rejoiced because
the convention of delegates assembled in
What we now call "Independence Hall"' in
Philadelphia, had agreed upon resolutions
declaring them free and independent of
England, and severing the political rela
tions of the thirteen colonies with that
eountiy, and that "Declaration of Inde.
peudence" was promulgated on the 4th ol
July, 1776. Since that day this Nation
has outstripped that of Great Britain in
wealth, population and power, and the old
significance of the day is lost to us, but it
is yet a good day for all Americans to
quicken their appreciation of their political
responsibilites, and it would be a par
ticularly good day for the Republicans of
Pennsylvania to resolve to rid themselves
of tho rotteAest system of party politics in
vogue in any of the States—a system that
puts and keeps such fellows as J. D.
Cameron and M. S. Quay in the United
States Senate, enables them and their
agents to control the party nominations
and appointments in almost every city and
county in the State, and makes a farce of
popular government.
Ox "Wednesday of this week Gov. Patti
son vetoed the Judicial Apportionment
bill. He objects to the bill because it in
creases the number of judges.
THE signing of the Constitutional Con
vention bill by the Governor, necessitates
party primaries all over the state, and our
County Chairman will have to call the
County Committee together to lis a date.
Each Senatorial district is to elect three
members, but as no elector can vole for
but more than two of them, Butler and
Armstrong counties need nominate but one
each.
Besides these three members from each
Senatorial district, twenty-seven members
are to be elected by the people of the
state, but as no elector can vote for more
than two-thirds of them, or eighteen, the
coming State Convetion will nominate
but that member.
The membership of this convention,
(provided there be one), will be of primary
importance to the people of the State and
none but thoroughly capable men should
be named.
The law provides that the convention
shall, (if the people rote in favor of it),
meet in December next, and that the salary
of the members shall be $1,500 each, with
expenses.
At the same election the people will vote
as to whether or no there shall be a con
stitutional convention at all—whether or
no they wish the State constitution revised.
If they vote for revising tho constitution
the members elected will proceed to do
their duties and if not their election be
comes a nullity.
So uncertain and complex a feature of
the law is not to be commended, as it may
prevent a fair expression of the people on
the question of revision, and may have an
influence on the membership, but tho safe
plan will lie for us to assume that there
will l>o * convention and elect the best
men who offer themselves.
The Matchless 4th of July Oration
Fourscore and seven years ago our fath
ers brought forth upon this continent a
new nutiou, conceived in liberty and ded
icate)! to the proposition that all men are
created equal. Sow we arc engaged in a
grt-Jit. civil war, testing whether that na
tion so conceived and so dedicated can
long endure. We are men 011 a great bat
tle field of that war. We have come to dedi
cate a portion of that field as a final resting
place for those who here gave their lives
that the Nation might live. It is altogether
littiiig and proper that we should do this.
But iu large sense we cannot dedicate, wo
cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this
ground. The brave men, living and dead
who (struggled here have consecrated it
far above our power to add or detract.
The world will little note, nor long remem
ber what we say here, but it can never for
get what they did here. It is for us, tho
living rather to be dedicated here to the
unfinished work which they who fought
here have thus far so nobly carried on.
It is rather for us to bo here dedicated to
the great task remaining before us; that
from this honored dead we take increased
devotion to that cause to which they hore
gave the last full measure of devotion;
that we here highly resolve that these dead
shall not have died in vain,that this Nation
under God. shall have a new birth of free
dom, and that the goverment of the people,
by the people, and for the people shall not
perish from the earth. — Abraham Lincoln
at {iettt/gburg.
A Good RepuMican Platform
Tho platform adopted l.y tho Ohio Re
publicans at fheir convention this week
embodies sound Republican doctrine* well
expressed. It avoids all empty rhetoric
and obscurity: is not unduly expanded;
does not commit the party to an> half
baked issues, and utters uo uncertain
sonml on cardinal Republican doctrine.
Our own Stato Conventions arc not always
happy—often, indeed, very ill-advised in
the string of incongruous, ill digested reso
lutions which they impose upon the par>y.
Wo recommend our platform-makers to
study this Ohio platform and those nsually
put forth by the Massachusetts Repuli
cans. The result of a little intelligent
application in this direction can hardly
fail to work a radical improvement in the
style, quality and substance of the Penn
sylvania Republican platform.
The Ohio Republicans take their stand
on the McKinley bill fairly and squarely.
They challenge tho Democrats to a direct
issue on that unequivocal Republican
measure, the misrepresentation of which
was made to injure the party last be
fore its great merits were known. The
Ohio contest this year is thus made one of
national importance by the frank preisenta
tion of the .McKinley bill as an issue in a
fairly representative Republican State.
The significance of the response next X ov
ember to this challenge cannot be mis
taken anywhere. The Ohio Republicans
show the courage and reality ol their con
victions by their willingness to put them
to tho supreme test in language and under
conditions that can cloud the issue to no
one.
On the vital issue of honest elections the
Ohio Republicans speak out in clarion
.tones: '-We demand, and will continue to
demand until finally and absolutely scour
ed, the free exercise by every citizen of the
supreme and sovereign right to cast one
ballot in honest elections and have it
honestly counted." There is no symptom
of weak concession in this. Pennsylvania
Republicans may feel some embarrassment
because of tho attitnde and vote of one ol
their Senators on this crucial issue. As
long as the Republican vote is suppressed
or fraudulently overcome in a single State
in the Union, the Republicans of other
States, if they can do no more, can at least
lecord their indignant protest. When the
Republican party can pass by with indiffer
ence or silence a great national wrong like
that ol the fraudulent elections in the
South it will be time for it to assume some
other name than the historical synonym
for human rights which it still has the right
to bear, even though its efforts to right
that wrong have thus far proved resultless.
The other planks in the Ohio platform as
far as they deal with national affairs ex
press tho Republican position with brevity,
precision and force. It is as admirably
suited to the candidate selected to lead the
party as ho is suited to it. for they both
represent the Republicanism of President
Harrison's Administration and of the Fifty
first Congress. The election will offer a
fair tost of the hold which that Republican
ism has upon tho people, and for that
reason the eyes of the whole country will
be turned toward Ohio in its coming im
portant State canvass.—Phil'a Press.
CAMERON and Quay see a chanco of get
ting licked at the next State convention,
even though the election of delegates in
nearly all parts of the State was lot go by
defanlt; and they are now making an effort
to have Andrews continued as State Chair
man. I f they succeed the convention may
as well not nominate a State ticket.
Ballot Reform Legislation Signed.
The Governor yesterday signed the Con
stitutional Convention and tho Baker bal
lot reform bills, thus giving final effect to
all the ballot reform legislation of the re
cent session. Of the three bills passed the
only one which takes immediate effect,that
requiring a new and original assessment of
the votes, was signed on the day of adjourn
ment and the enrollment of tho voters is
now in progress nnder its provisions.
The Baker bill does not go into effect un
til the fall election of 1892, the elections
for this fall and next February being held
under tho present law. The Constitution
al Convention w ill depend entirely on the
the vaters at the coming election, they be
ing required to decide whether a conven
tion shall be held or not. At the same
time 177 delegates are to be elected, 27 at
large and 150 by Senatorial districts.
This fact alone will niako the coming
election one of the most importaut ever
held in this Commonwealth. In the
choico of so important a body of men the
greatest care should bo exercised. In view
of the many interests in favor of a Consti
tutional Convention, it will be the part of
wisdom for the people of all parties to as-
Bume that a convention will be held and
make their choice accordingly. Peanut
politics should be ignored in their selection
and both parties should put forward only
candidates of first-class qualifications and
the highest character. Small politicians
should not be entrusted with tho business
of making or murdering constitutions. —

Bullets Mix With Love.
Because she refused to elope with him,
William Myers attempted to kill Mrs.
Barbara Harding, and then sent a bullet
_into his own brain. The tragedy occurred
"at McKeesport, where the families lived in
neighboring houses. The husbands had
for years been intimate friends. Both
were Germans, both 28 years of age, and
each had a wife and a little family.
Neither Harding nor his wife had any idea
that Myers had for months been violently
in love with Mrs. Harding.
Myers escorted Mrs. Harding to a picnic,
last "Saturday, and told her he had agreed
to sell bis houso on Monday, and with the
money he and she could run away to
Europe. Mrs. Harding indignantly said to
him, "No." That did not settle it, how
ever. Myers went home with tho Hard
ings late in the evening and went into
their house. While Harding went to coop
the chickens Myers again laid siege to Mrs.
Harding's heart.
He blandly remarked as he drew a re
volver, that if she wouldn't lovo him he
could end both their lives right there.
Then in German he demanded: AVill you
love me; answer, yes or no."
The woman's "no" came quickly and
like a flash Mvors fired three times straight
at her. One ball entered her side and two
her breast- The fourth Myers sont into
his own head and fell a corpse. Harding
came in time to hear his wife say, "Myers
did it," and she swooned awa3*. She
recovered next day sufficiently to tell the
story of Myers insane love. The doctors
say "she is not fatally injured

This is a good move. The centralization

Six AMERICAN vessels and three British
cruisers are to patrol Bering Sea during
the sealing season. This usually begins
near the end of June, and as there are
fifty or sisty vessels to be sought out and
warned against poaching, the activity of
the authorities is timely. The rest that
will be enjoyed by the I'robilof rookeries
should greatly enhance their value, so that
no permanent harm is likely to ensue to
any legitimate sealing interest.
Harrisburg Notes.
Ou Thursday of la.»t week Gov. Pattison
vetoed th-Farr Compulsory Education bill;
the bill requiring Insurance companies not
incorporated by this state to pay abotus to
associations of tiremen, and the bill to
prevent deception in the sale of gilded
ware, lie thinks the Educational bill was
incomplete and defective and that the
gilded ware bill is a needle-- and vexatious
discrimination, and of the Insurance bill
says that be has convincing proof that it
was altered aud amended by the transcrib
ing clerk 3 and really never passed both
branched of tho Legislature.
On Friday the Governor approved of the
bill providing for a Constitutional Con
vention if a majority of the voters say
they want one, next November,and whether
they do or not they must vote for delegates
to the same, three from each Senatorial
district, no voter to vote for more than
two, twenty-seven at large, no v-.ter to
vote for more than eighteen. He also
approved of the Ballot-reform bill, which
requires the counties to print all the
tickets, erect election booths and which
revolutionizes our election system, also
the bill authorizing applicants for retail
liquor licenses to secure their bondsman
anywhere in the county, and the following
appropriation bills. soo,ooo for new build
ings of House of Refuge at Glen Mills,
Delaware county; $42,200 to ttie Harrisburg
State Lunatic Hospital; *149,500 to the
Pennsylvania College; $75,000 for erection
of additional cell houses for the Hunting
don Reformatory; SIO,OOO to the Jefferson
Medical ';< f re; $13,000 to the Blossburg
Ho;pii»l. fiiii $2,000 to the Robert Packer
Ucspitu.. at
That Sa::i3 day he vetoed the Pittsburg
wharf bill; the bill providing for a new
digq.-t rt the State laws; the bill appropriat
ing SIO,OOO to the Philadelphia Zoological
Society; the bill regarding the possession
of dead bodies: and the bill providing for
the distribution of copies of the State laws.
It i< evident that Governor Pattison re
gards Prof. Snyder as Superintendent of
Public Instruction, despite the fact that
Superintendent Waller still holds the office.
Recently Mayor Stuart, of Philadelphia,
asked the Governor to suggest somebody
to help reorganize Philadelphia's dis
organized financial methods. for answer
the Mayor received, through Private
Secretary Tate, the following: "I aiu
direc ted by Governor Pattison to acknow
ledge the receipt of your communication of
the 15th inst., and in accordance with your
request ho has referred the same to Pro
fessor 7. \. Suyder, Superintendent of
Public Instruction, with the request lhat
he give it his attention.'" —Kx.
On Monday Gov. Pattison appointed the
the World's Fair Commission. A K. Mc-
Clure of Philadelphia is at the head of it,
and the members from the western part of
the State are Robert Pitcairn, James M.
Gully, A. J. Barr and t'hailes 11. Kiley of
Allegheny county, Benj. "Whitman of Erie,
E. A. P.igler of Clearfield, R. A. Mereur of
Bradford and W. B. Clendcnen of New
Castle. The same day he vetoed several
item* of the appropriation bill, but approv
ed of the bill providing for a hospital for
the chronic insane and appropriating half
a million therefor.
Tuesday afternoon Governor Pattison
vetoed, the Legislative and Congressional
Apportionment bills, lie states at length
his reasons for disapproving these measures
and says he is satisfied to wait until the
people elect a Legislature that will pass
bills ol this kind fair to both parties.
The Governor explains the manner in
which the ratio for legislative apportion
ment is found by dividing the population
of the State, according to the census of
1889, by 2,000, which is 20,290. lie says
every intention of the system is to protect
and preserve the rights of the smaller dis
tricts, and the manifest tendency is to
ward single representative districts. Con
tinuing, the Governor says:
"The Executive is not disposed to make
partisan advantage the tests of approval of
any apportionment bill, yet when one pre
sented to him contains such an outrageous
gerrymander as this, so manifestly in the
interest of a political organization opposed
to that of which ho is a member, he feels
it to be a public service as well as a
politcal duty to protect his fellow citizens
of his faith from the unjust consequences
of it."
The Governor says the Congressional
Apportionment bill is objectionable for the
reason that it is not an appointment based
on the census of 1890. It is a re-enact
ment of the apportionment of 1887, which
was based on the census ol 1880, with the
modification that of two additional mem
bers allotted to Pennsylvania one is-assign
ed to Allegheny county and the other to
Philadelphia. With this exception and the
excision from the present district consist
ing of the counties of Fayette, Washington,
Greene and that portion of Allegheny now
connected with them: this bill is a re
enactment of the act to organize and define
the congressional duties uuder the census
of ten years ago. The apportionment of
1887 was highly objectionable in many
feature- and abouuded in glaring viola
tions of the spirit of a fair assignment of
representatives. In Philadelphia two of
the districts show a difference in popula
tion of 77,G00. The Twenty-third district
in Allegheny county contains 103,99 l J pop
ulatatiou, being 11,208 less than a ratio,
while tho Twenty-second district, adjoin
ing it and extending over four counties
with widely diversified interests, contains
215,740 population.
In consequenco of tho Governor's action
on these bills, th? State Conventions to be
held this year will nominate two Congress
mon-ut- Large, and Congressinen-at-Large
will be electod every two years hereafter
nnti! a now apportionment is made.
TIIK President has appointed Win. 11.
Brooks to sueced Bavid Martin as collector

Tried Three Times for Murder.
For the first time during three trials for
his life, Jacob Staub was allowed to go on
the witness stand at Uniontowu a few days
ago aud tell his story of his trouble with
the killing of AlpheusGlover. At the time
of his former trials the law forbade the de
fendant in capital cases from testifying in
his own behalf, but his disability was re
i moved by an act pascd in 18S0. Hi- test
iniony was as follows:
"My full name is Jacob Staub, and I am
in my seventieth year. I was b-ira and
raised in Maryland, and came to this county
in 1801. I was in One Hundred and Sixtj--
eighth regiment and was niue months in
the war. My farm adjoined that of Al
pheus (Hover on Beaver creek. On July
'JO, IH7U, 1 was engaged with the boys in
hauling wheat, and the evening alter we
quit work 1 told the boys to turn the
horses out in the lot. 1 took my rifle and
went down the road, where I heard my
hog squealing. I met Verdi Glover on the
side of Judy run, coming with the cows.
1 went on past her, and about 200 yards
further on I met All'. Glover with his dogs.
I asked Glover why ho was dogginjr iny
hogs, and he said: I will dog them if they
don't stay out of my field. 1 told him if
they would not stay out his field 1 would
pen them up, but did not want them dog
ged. lie cursed mo and said: 'You feel
big with that gun.' I said I did not need
anv gun, and handed the weapon back to
the boys.
•'] did not see who took it, but I saw
tilover had a club in his hand. I had hard- i
|v turned around when Verdi ran between
her father and me and begged him not to
curse me so. He took her by the arm and
throw her away. He then struck mo on
the head with tho club and knocked me
down, and began beating me until I was
unconscious. 1 did not hoar any shot fired,
and the next thing I know I was sitting at
the foot of an oak tree and my wife was
bathing my face with camphor and holding
my head, which bad a lump as big as half
an egg. I did not shoot Alpheus Glover,
and 1 am as innocent of that as a now-born
babe. I had no revolver with me on that
day. I never made any threats against
him to anv one."
Staub them related the marvelous story
of his escape; ol' how a man walked into
his cell at midnight and waked him up:
how he was lilted up by a rope.and through
the roof, and how two men were in waiting
and hustled him off, and finally how he
wandered about the country for sixteen
years.
After being out ju.-t five hours the Staub
jury agreed cn a verdict of "not guilty.
The court house bell was rung, and the
aged prisoner was brought into the court
room. Kor tho third time in his life Staub
arose, held up his right hand and faced a
jury which was to give hiin life or death.
With fear and the infirmities of 70 years,
his once strong right arm trembled as he
heard the clerk u>k tho jury for their ver
dict. When the words "Not guilty" reach
ed him he sank into his chair and, leaning
his head upon his hands, wept tears of joy.
lie was immediately discharged, and was
met at tho door by his aged wife, with
whom he vent arm iu arm from the court
honso.
The old man was congratulated by
crowds of trieuds. Immediately after his
discharge he went to the jail, where he
collected his goods, and left for his moun
tain home. The verdict is received with
favor by some and is loudly condemned bv
others." The jury was composed largely of
old men, who it is claimed, leaned more
strongly to the side of mercy ior the aged
accused than they would have done at the
time the crime wii- committed. 19 years ago.

Freaks of a Cyclone.
A cyclone parsed over a portion of
Missoun last week, in the vicinity of
Centrali . Some curious Ireaks, as well as
displays .'f immense power, were noticed
in coin tion v.*i;.\ it. Some of them were:

A son ot Mr. M S. Hush and one of Mr.

hedge,ami the cyclone pulled up the hedge
to within a few j ;.rds of the boy- At this
point a cloud-burst occurred and the earth
was deluged with water.
Two large breaking plows WHO carried
from Mr. John Johnson's field and left a
half mile beyond in another iield. A
wagon had all the spokes wrenched from

Nathaniel Gordon's dwelling house arose
in the air to a height of 50 feet, when tlie
sides seemed to fly outward and the floor
dropped to the gi'>und. The lamily were
away from home.
Samuel Gray saw the storm coming, auil

At one time the cyclone was moving di
rectly upon Ccntralia from tho northwest,
and the destruction of the city seemed in
evitable. When ivithin a fourth of a mile
of tho city limits, the lightning struck a
large tree in the centre of the city with a
deafening crash. Immediately after this
the st.oriu c'ottd seemed to bo in a fearful
commotion, hesitated in its course, and
then suddenly couimensed to move due
east. It is believed that the electrical dis
turbance caused by tho bolt ot lightning is
what changed the course of tbo storm.
When first discovered there seeomed to be
half a dozen sina;l cyclones whirling and
twisting in the air, independent of e.icli
other. Then suddenly it concentrated and
formed one huge mass. Its motion was
very slow, as it was fifteen minutes travel

btrirws were driven into trees and tele
graph poles, and at one point a piue nbing

tree. Alter the cyclone passod it was
followed by hot, scorching air, and then
by a deluge of ra.u.

NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.
The Court of Somer-et county has grant
c-d an injunction agaiti.-t the sale of Wern
er's history of the Umberger murder ca e
on the ground* that it contains libellous
matter.
In a criminal case against two youne
men tried in Mercer last week, the de
fendant.-! worked a game that was not only
sharp but laughable. A man named Ale
Clusky had Frank Davis and Morris Thomp
son arrested for fishing on Sunday. They
agreed to appear before the Sqairer next
day and answer. Meanwhile, each oflend
er made information ajrainst the other thus
saving half the fine, as one half the fine
of $25 goes to the prosecutor, and leaviug
McCluskv in the cold.
A Forkston, Pa; woman ha* applied for
divorce because she is compe'led to light
wildcats too often. The part of the country
where she and her husband live is infested
with these animals, and as he refuses to
move, she wants to leave him. She says
that in the last three years she has killed
43 cats.
According to the Osicego Record, a
maiden of that town says to the girls ot
everywhere else: "Don't come here with
tho expectation of getting married. Good
marriageable men are as scarce a? gray
hairs on iny bead. The girls of my set
often get so hard up for the sight ol a man
we are tempted to go out and flirt with the
soldier's monument."
Of the 3000 men employed in the sand
and limestone quarries of this county, fully
three-filths are foreigners who do not pay
taxes. It is estimated in court here that
during the past six years the cost of pros
ecution and suits against these aliens,
civil and criminal, has been more Ihan
the cost on account of all the other people
in the county combined. —New Castle
Guardian.
At McKeesport, Saturday night, Win.
Myers shot Mrs. Harding because she
would not elope with him, and then shot
himself through the head.
I'itteburg is to have auother big hotel to
be built on the property facing Duqucsne
Way, now occupied by the Speer Plow
works, and to cost a whole million.
A bride in Indiana county, Pa; was in
dead enough earnest when getting married
a few'days ago, but got the baptismal and
marriage rituals somewhat mixed. To the
clergyman's solemn question, "Dost thou
take this man to be thy lawful wedded
husband?" she responded very distinctly
and emphatically, "God being my helper,
I do."
The funeral of Charles Kahrer, the Coal
town young man whose death resulted
from heavy lifting on a lifting machine,
took place at New Castle last Sunday. I>r.
A. M. Cook performed a post mortem ex
amination and found that the bile duct had
been ruptured, causing the discoloration of
the bodv, which existed.
Stock to the amount of fciIO.OOO has been
subscribed in New Castle toward the crea
tion of a mammoth steel plant in that city,
to bo run in connection with the wire nail
and rod mill.
A Luzerne girl who had too many lovers,
asked for "sealed proposals;" took the
fellow who wrote shortest one; and the
other fellows gave him a licking.
The breaking of an axle of a freight car,
while a heavily laden train was on the big
curve near Lockport, last Saturday eve
ning, caused fourteen cars of pig iron to be
dumped into the river, the track to bo torn
up and all traffic delayod.
Several days ago when Charlie Johnson
ofßeaver Falls, went home from work, he
found the table set for supper and a card
stating that his wife had taken the child
and gone West to live with an old lover,
who had written to her and invited her to
come. Johnson has sold all his belongings
and gone after his wife to get posession of
his child.
Mrs. Jane Dnlf, of near Moravia, Law
rence county, died June 21, 1891. She
was 09 years of age and the oldest per
son in Lawrence county.
Judge McMichael lingered in the Court
House in New Castle until a late hour on
Thursday evening, lie was in one of the
rooms when the janitor closed the building
at night,and had to climb out of a window.
NOSE of the New Castle papers have
