FOR CORONER, Jegan at the foot of the platform, swept across the floor, and flowed on and up to the ends ot the highest galleries like a ripple across a pond. Then there was an in terval of comparative quiet, while Mr. Carter made some directions about the scats and then announced the prayer of Rabbi Sale. The thousands struggled to their seats when they caught the significance of the rabbi's outstretched hands and stood for three minutes with bowed heads. The rabbi was a stout young man with jet black hair, a black l>eail cut to a point on the lines of fashion. His voice was better fitted for a large auditorium than Chairman Carter's and demonstrated that the acoustic properties of the convention hall were to be very satisfactory. Mark Hauna, down in the front line, studied the floor with bowed head while the invocation progressed; ■ Chauncey W. Depew covered his face with a devout hand; Senator Quay held a fan Ijefort his features, and Mr. Piatt— it was impossible for him to give his features a more pious cast than nature had already done. Chairman Carter then presented Char les W. Fairbanks for temporary chair man amid great cheering. Fairbanks was elected and delivered a speech favoring sound money, protection and reciprocity and was cheered each time lie s ( )oke ot the best currency in the world, the effects ot protection and the value of tlie home market. Mr. Fairbanks' declaration that the government by omnipotent fiat cannot make fifty cents worth 100 cents caused the greatest applause heard in the hall, The reference to a "genuine American protective tariff" received great applause Blaine's name was cheered to the echc and the quotation from McKinleyon pro tection and currency at the close of tht •pcech was loudly cheered. At the close of Mr. Fairbanks' speech Chairman Carter announced the subor dinate officials of the convention as se lected by the National Committee. They were elected. When Mr. Fairbanks assumed the gravel the real work of the convention began. At the suggestion of Gen. Gros venor the lists of committeemen were handed up to the platform to be read by the clerk. The announcement of Henry M. Teller to be Colorado's man on tbe Resolutions Committee gave the silver men their first chance to make ttieir presence known, and they improved it by a few shrill cheers, which had their center in the Colorado section. There were more cheers for Senator Dubois, of Idaho, the young silver leader; for Gen. Lew Wal lace, the author-politician and friend of ex-President Harrison; for Henry Cabot Lodge, whose name brought a fluttering of flags which the Bay State men had tied to their canes, and for Merriam, of Min nesota. When New York was reached John Raines was complimented and Ed ward Lauterback got a volley; Gen. Gros venor's name was applauded, and For aker evoked a quick burst of sharp cheer ing. When Webster Flanagan s name was called many delegates asked "What are we here for?" quoting Flanagan's famous remark. When Delaware was called Addicks arose and asked to have his delegation placed on the roll, but it was passed. At 1:5o p. m. the convention adjourned until 10 o'clock next day. WEDNESDAY. Wednesday noon, Rev. Dr. Williams, a M. E. minister opened the convention with prayer. The Committee on Organ ization named Senator Thurston for Per- manent Chairman and he was elected and took the chair. His Brief, forcible and eloquent speech. delivered in a voice that made itself heard, was the first thing of the conven tion thus far that stirred up the delegates and spectators to hearty enthusiasm. His references to sound money and the tar iff, especially the later, §nd to the other principles of Republic*is, were loudly applauded. The Committee on Resolutions report ed the platform adopted by the commit tee. It is strong on protection and reciproc ity, and the finance plank read as fol lows - . . ~ "The Republican party is unreservedly for souud money. It caused the enact ment of the law providing for the resump tion of specie payments in 1879: Since then every dollar has been as good as gold. We are unalterably opposed to every measure calculated to debase our currency or impair the credit of our country. We are, therefore, opposed to the free coin age of silver except by international agreement with the leading commercial nations of the world, which we pledge ourselves to promote, and until such agreement can be obtained the existing gold standard must be preserved. All our silver and paper currency now in cir culation must be maintained at parity with gold, and we favor all measures de signed to maintain inviolably the obli gations of the United States, and all our money, whether coin or paper, at the piesent standard, the standard of the most enlightened nations of the earth" The restoration of discriminating duties for the upbuilding of the merchant ma rine is favored. The plank on foreign affairs favors the independence of Cuba and control of Ha waii by the United States, and indorses the Monroe doctrine. Civil service reform is approved and the extension of the principle wherever p acticable. The use of public money for sectarian purposes and the union of church and state are opposed. A declaration is made in favor of ar bitration between employes and employ er, but no specific legislation is demand ed. A declaration is made in favor of liber al pensions, and the present administra tion is denounced for dropping from the rolls without examination deserving sol diers. The building of the Nicaragua canal by the United States government is fav ored. Outside of the convention that day, there was more discussion regarding the nominee for Vice President, than any thing else. Piatt and Quay wanted Mor ton of New York, but they were opposed by Warner Miller and his friends of New York, David Martin and others of Penn sylvania; and that night- it looked as though ex-Gov. llobart of New Jersey, would be the nominee for N ice President. THE CONTESTS. As soon as the Committee on Creden tials organized, resolutions on the Dele ware and Texas cases were submitted. The Deleware case was the first consider ed, and the Higgins delegation were seat ed by a vote of3l to 17. This was con firmed by the convention Wednesday afternoon, and Addicks and his crowd paid their hotel bills and left the city. The Texas contest was decided in favor of the four delegates-at-large headed by John Grant. A test vote of the conven tion on the contests showed that the Mc- Kinley men had 545 votes and the Platt- Quay combine 350. If McKinley is nominated today, Can ton, Ohio, will be the scene of a great demonstration tomorrow. Special trains will be run to Canton from all, the neigh- Ixjring town and cities, and thousands of steam whistles will make a noise. Many manufacturers and even business men have disconnected their heating apa ratus to run pipes up through the roofs of their buildings in order to provide greater whistling capacity. One man has attach ed a chime of six whistles to the roof of his establishment, and they will be tied down for 12 hours. Another has import ed from Pittsburg the deepest-toned and hoarsest steam whistle that could be pro cured there, and he, too, proposes to tie down for a day or two. THE split in the Prohibition party is of national interest, because that is not only by far the oldest of the minor or ganizations of the present day, but it has lived much longer than any other 'third' party which has ever figured in Ameri can politics. Its first national ticket was put up in 1862, and it has participated in every Presidential campaign from that time to this. Its vote has grown steadi ly from the beginning. Nevertheless the party never had any influence in na tional politics, except in 1884, when the Democratic margin was so small in the decisive State of New York that the Pro hibitionists may have turned the scale. Very few minor parties have ever split, but when one of them does this its- days are numbered. Slavery split the Know nothing party in 1856, as it split nearly every other party at one time and ano ther, except the Free Soil and Republi can parties, and it never participated in another I'resdential election. IT is announced that I,i Hung Chang aud other Chinese dignitaries were re fused admission to the coronation of the Czar of Russia, because they would not comply with the order and remove their head coverings. It is a matter of princi ple with the Chinese officials to keep on their hats, for it is on the hat that their rank is showr 1 . The blue button of the high grade mandarin as well as the yel low peacock feather are displayed from the top of the hat, fid to remove the hat is the same as removing the insignia of office, and that is what a high caste Chi nese official will not do at any time. A CONSULAR report from the City of Mexico says that "the Mexicans are tak ing advantage of the scarcity of Florida oranges and are shipping their supply of the fruit to this country. Last season 400 carloads were shipped to the United States, but this season fully £OO carloads will be exported." HERMAN KECK, the Cincinnati dia mond merchant, who was recently con victed in the United States district court of attempting to smuggle diamonds worth $7,000 into port at Philadelphia from Antwerp, was on Monday senten ced to one year's imprisonment in the Eastern Penitentiary and fined S2OO. WASHINGTON NOTES. Congress adjourned at 4 o'clock, last Thursday. The galleries were crowded with spectators, as the hour approached, until there was no longer any standing room. There is nothing interesting us ually in the close of a session of Congress but, nevertheless, it somehow attracts crowds of curious people, who listen to the routine proceedings that wind up the business, and then quietly disperse and go home. One of the last bill* to receive Presi dential approval, Thursday, and thereby become a law, was the one authorizing the Pittsburg & Butler railroad company to construct a bridge over the Allegheny river, in Allegheny county. Congress man Stone followed the matter closely, as the bill might fail by reason of its not being signed when Congress adjourned. HARRISBURG NOTES. Gov. Hastings has appointed Alexander li. Patton of Clearfield; Col. S, M. Jack son, Apollo; Norman Hall, Mercer; ex- Judge Heydrick, Venango; William L. Bradb«_iiy, Allegheny; George W. Hask ins, Bradford; JJohn L. Spearman, Mer cer, and Gen. Wilej, Venanero. trustee of the Polk institution for feeble minded people of Western Pennsylvania. Charles Miller of Franklin, and Wil liam B. Gill, Philadelphia, were reap pointed members of the State board of charities. Different Political Parties. There are five political pjriies in the United States. At the beginning of the political year, which in national politic* dates from Merch 4, they were scheduled to hold their respe«,iive nominating con ventions at the times and places following: Mav 27. Prohibitionists, at Pittsburg; June 16, Republicans, at St Louis; July 4, So cialists. at New York city: July 7, Demo- crats, at Chicago; July 22. Populists, at St Louis. The prediction was made soma months ago by an alert statesman in Wash ington that there would be this year, not five national conventions, but tsc; a bolt from each convention. Five bolts from five national conventions would certainly be'a remarkable manifestation of political restlessness, and there may not be so many this year, but the present outlook is favor able to more bolts than there have beon in national conventions for many years. It was least of all expected that there would be a bolt in the Prohibition con vention, the first one held, and yet a con siderable portion of the delegates marched oat of the hall and agreed to hold thoir own convention. Xo doubt there Will be other bolts and pei haps where least ex pected. The Americans are great kickers politically and thero is no telling where they will stop when once they begin in good earnest.

An Unknown Hero Moon township, Alleghany Co, was the scene of a hair-raining oil cou-ilry acoidonl a lew days ago, that is described by the Derrick's correspondent, as follows: John Sloan, a shooter in the employ of the Pennsylvania Torpedo compauy, was driv ing out to shoot a well lor the Forest Oil Company, near Stewart Station, whsn the horses attached to the glycerine wagon ran away threw Sloan out, breaking his collar bone and otherwise injuring him. The Irightpned horses continued in theii mad career with a large amount of the deadly explosive in the wagon. Two pipi line employes were drit i-.ig out to the field am! hail a npirited horse, they looked back and n»w the driverlesi glycerine team com ing at a break-ueck speed and they knew the wagon was "loaded." To attempt to stop the team was little chort ol jaopar (listing their lives so there was nothing for tbelli to do but whip up and keep ahead ol the runaways. It was a race for .life for more than two miles, wt en they overtook some pipe haulers. The men in the succeeded in passing them and gave the alarm. The glycerine team was close to them but the teamster took in the situat ion at a glance and sprang from his wagon, and running to the rear strack the runaways over the head with his whip aud succeeded in stoping them jast as they reached his wagon. The glycerine watton was totally wrecked, one of the front wheels was gone and the horses sustained some injuries. The load of gljcerine was left standing in the road atul word wss ijent to Coraopol's to .*end a man out to take it aw»y Aside from a broken collar bone it is thought Shooter Sloan received internal injuries, lie is one ot the oldest shooters 111 the business, and has always been regarded as a very carelul man.

"Wilkeabarre has a human o iriosity in the person of a 3-year old boy baby, per fectly formed and apparently possessing all his faculties, yet weighs bat 10£ pounds, not much more than .the average newly born infant. The little fellow enjoys the romantic tame of Jesse James Long. At the time of Jesse's birth he weighed li pounds, his mother was 71 years of age and his father 79. Both were feeble, in firm and almost helpless. The little fellow now stands twenty-two inches in height. He is unable to walk, bat creeps the floor. He fits conveniently in an ordinary doll carriage. His head is not much larger than a common-size base ball and a quarter cf a silver dollar would oover one hand Jesse's parents are both dead and he is now taken care of by a charitable in stitution. Mrs. George Hughes of Canoe Ridge, has a setting hen that hid her nest away ill an adjoining woods. The other day Mrs. Hughes told her httle daughter to watch tbo hen when she left the nest and oarne to the house for food. About noon the old hen was seen hunting eagerly for something whore with to satisfy her hunger. After she had finisned she start ed towards the woods and the little girl followed her. Presently the hen approach ed a brush pile where a tree had fallen out of root, when she confronted a large pheasant, which had taken possession of the nest. A fight ensued in which the domestio fowl was victorious. The little girl reported what she bad seen to her mother, and ilrp. Haghes went out to in vestigate the straugu actions of the pheas ant, she pulled the old hen off the nest, and di£o<>vered that she bad taken a large contract. In the nest were 17 hen eggs and 10 pheasant eggs. Jacob Crise the mail carrier between Grreeneburg and Keeksburg, is responsible for the remarkable story that on Friday last his wife heard what she thought was a hen crow, and it being considered a bad omen for a hen to crow, she ordered her husband to kill it at onoe. Jake at once dispatched the fowl. When his wife dis sected it, preparatory to putting it in the pot, what was her surprise and astonish ment to iind that it w%s not a hen, but a rooster and what is still more remarkable thut it was filled with eggs, one of which wis fully developed. Jake says this is no fak* but is as "true as preachin," and can be verified by his estimable better-half. A Bl.u klick correspondent ol a Pitts burg p'-per, under date of June 3, writes: "Yesterday while a farm hand was pass ing alt.ng the road between here and Indi ana, a black.-tnuke attacked him, and a battle between the man and reptile was waged l-e some time. The snake waskill ed. It measured four inches in circum ference v.;J wai nearly seven foet long. Severa! other reptiles of greater size were found by so.ne boys in the same locality, and whilr attempting to kill them, a yonne.iU-r barely escaped being strangled b; the snake, it catching the boy about th<- throat." Deer Creek. (Pittsburg Dispatch of Sunday) Chairman James H. Keed, President J. T. Odell and Cuief Engineer P. E. House, of the Butler and Pittsburg Railroad, held c conference yesterday aad adopted the route ot the new load from the Allegheny river to- Butler. Secretary K. A. Franks was also authorized to ask tor bids for the grading and masoniy for tho new road. These bids will bo opened June 30 and the work of construction will be begun imme diately thereafter. The plans and profiles of the varioas routes north of tho Atldgheny river were thown bv Engineer House and the advan tages of one over another were discussed 'iuring a greater part of the day. It was finally decided that the new railroad ihonld be built from Batier along ths Con uoqnenessini; river to Renfrew, up Thorn creek to its headwaters, through the sum mit to the headwaters of l)ecr creek and down Deer creek to tho Allegheny riwer al Harmarvillu. Here the AUegheny river <*ill be crossed by a h'jjh steel bridge. Between this point and the Monongahela river at Bessemer the route has not defi n tjly been decided upon. i •>« route from Butler along tho Conno ijut 'ssiug river to Thorn creek and uo ai».t ceek fir some distanoe has been pif oally deoided upon for some time, I'U* the troublesome question was to de (• i K between the Deer and Bull creek sur '. f>»irinan John Pitcairn, of the Pftts 't■ • I'late Glass company, strongly fa vin ■. this latter route, as did several pro i .'in •; citizens of Tarualu*n, Natrona and i\'< * ICensmgton. It. was alto favored by fi'.iii* if the butler and Pittsburg officials. I'H g ides were about equal to those ol :hf I >• ar creek route and it was thought i t.-< heavy lreight patronage would secure it u,r plum. C'uairman Keed and President Odell, howi-rer, decided that the grades on the D«t-r creek ronte were slightly better and ligh er, the tummits to be overcome were ri"i h i heavy and the line was consider ably -horter than by the way ol Bull creek »T!n iV.rentum. There are no towns on thr i m'ti and the rights of way can bj m re • heaply secured. Engineers Wilkins hhi 1> ividson wore set t« work preparing the. plans so the right of way men can be s.iui i'Ut in a few days The right wag re sorvi d by the officials to change from the Do'ir creek route to tho Bull creek route il the pi.'porty along the former route is held too bigu. The new line will parallel the Conno (juenessiiig river and the Pittsburg and Western Railroad I'rom Butler to Renfrew , a distance of live milt*. *nd will have com I aratively easy grades Up Thorn creek the grade will be about 30 :eft to the mile At Culmorville a tunnel 700 !Vet long will be encountered, and down Deer creek the grade will be about 40 feet to the mile. The old line run by Colonel Saniu»J B. Dick's engineers WHS considerably heavier than this, but numerous other lines and re visions were made under the direction ol Enginee i House. FAIRVIEW.

Mary Catharine Beipbley peacefully fell asleep in Christ June sth, and was lovingly laid to rest in the old historic Stone Church eernetery Juno 7th 1*96. Her maiden name was Albert, being a daughter of Goorge and Sarah Albert of Franklin twp. Bhe first saw the light of this world, August Bth, 1840, and was baptised by the Rev. G. Bassler She was reared on thu farm 3 miles oast of Prospect, now occupied by her only brothers. Jacob and Josiah At an early age she was in structed and confirmed in the Lutheran faith by the Rev. Asa Waters, in which faith she remained with her husband and family, true to the last. Previous to ber marriage her occupation was that of a teacher, when on the 25th of October 1860, she was united in the Holy bonds of matrimony to John Conrad, eld est son of George and Jane Beighley of Connoquenessing twp. This union was blessed by niae children, six of whom, with her husband, still survive her. Six days previous to her death while quietly attending to her household duties, and while in the presence oi her husband, she was suddenly stricken with paralysis. Physicians were summoned but of no avail, she lingered and apparently regained con sciousness, sufficiently to rrcognize her be loved lamily and friends. Her funeral services were conducted by her beloved and respected pastor, Rev. D. B. Stahlman, assisted by her former pas; tor, Rev. N. Scheffur. and also Rev. J. A. Kribbs. Scripture lesson chosen by her husband Prov. 31st ohapter. Text for discourse—Rev. 14th chapter, 13th verse. Hymns—"Nearer my God to Thee," and "Just as I am without one plea." Mrs. Lida Lepley and choir of Prospect, rendered appropriate music befitting the occasion. Her nature and disposition was that of Paul's exhortation to the Romans, viz: "To be kindly aflectioaed one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another.' Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord. Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribula tion; continuing instant in prayer. Distributing to the necessity ol saints; given to hospitality. Rejoicing with those that do rejoica, and weeping with those that weep." Her joy and delight was to succor the poor and despised among men. Her concern was the home aad the wel fare of her family. Her hope was Christ and eternal life BRECKENRIDGE is once more reliabili tated in Kentucky. A few more rehabil itations and Kentucky will ha ve a reputa tion as strong as its whisky.
