ST. LOUIS.
The National Committee met in St.
Louis, list Thursday, and during a two
days session settled all the delegation
contests, excepting the Addicks—Hig
gins one from Delaware, and the one
from Texas, which they decided to allow
the Convention to pass upon.
Quay was talking for Hastings for
Vice-President. Payne wanted a change
made in the basis of representation in
the Convention and pressed a resolution
ia the National Committee favoring 4
delegates-at-large from each state and
one for each 70c 0 votes. C. W. Fair
banks, of Indiana, was agreed upon for
Temporary Chairman, and John M.
Thurston, of Nebraska, for Permanent
Chairman.
On Monday some of the state dele
gations held caucuses; and in the New
York caucus there was a 4iot and bitter
contest for the chairmanship of the
delegation. All day long the financial
plank of the platform was being talked
about by everybody. Hobart of New-
Jersey, Elkins of W. Virginia, Evans of
Tennessee, and several others were dis
cussed as Vice-Presidential possibilities.
THE CONVENTION.
Tuesday was a beautiful day, the city
was astir early, and all roads led to Con
vention Hall.
Tfce Hall was handsomely decorated,
each state was given a section on the
floor, and the galleries seated 12,000
At 10 o'clock the band of 40 pieces took
its place in the gallery, a ) KJVe the speak
er's stand, and at 10:20 they struck up
the rousing air "Black Africa." Soon
after the spectators began to stream
through the entrances which opened in
to the lower gallery.
Hundreds of assistant serge<ints-at-arms
and ushers were scattered about the hall
and galleries. Just before 11 o'clock the
thunder of arriving clubs outside the hall
was heard, and the Alabama delegation
appeared at the main entrance and
marched to their seats in the pit.
A few of the delegates and the alter
nates straggled in ami soon the pit be
came animated, but the clubs and specta
tors were restrained on the outside to
await Sergeant-at-Arms Byrnes's order to
open the doors to the public. The out
side of the hall resembled a beleagured
fortress when the order was given about
11:30.
At 11:2o Senator Carter, chairman of
the National Committee, who was to call
the convention to order, arrived and gave
his final instructions to the secretaries
and reading clerks. The 460 seats re
served for the press were filled with busy
newspapermen, and the click of tele
graph instruments already began to
carry the music of the convention io the
world at large.
The contesting delegations from the
State of Delaware, both in full force, the
one headed by ex-Senator Higgins and
the other by Mr. Addicks, was among
the first to arrive. They did not come to
the hall in the same carriages, but they
arrived almost simultaneously. The
Addicks people weie somewhat in ad
vance of their competitors with Mr.
Addicks in the lead, and using his elbows
vigorously to get through the crowd on
the streets outside the main entrance,
they pressed in, and while Mr, Higgins
stood in a controversy with the door
keeper as to where he and his fellow
claimants to the seats should go, the Ad
dicks people found their way to the
Delaware section. The Iliggmites fol
lowed promptly, and 'there was some
dispute as to which crowd should have
the seats. They settled the matter tem
porarily by taking the first chairs at
hand, with Mr. Addicks occupying the
place of chairman of the delegation.
Senator Higgins stood aloof, and when
one of his followers asked him to have
the sergeant-at-arms put the Addicks
crowd out he declined to interfere, say
ing it was a case of squatter's rights.
The delegations of the different states
took their places as they arrived, some of
the prominent men, being recognized
and cheered by the spectators.
The hands of the clock were at 12:20
when Chairman Carter stepped forward,
and with three fierce cracks of his gavel
by way of preliminary, sought to make
his voice pierce the general rustle. The
attempt was a- futile one, however. He
was exhorting the supernumeraries who
crowded the aisles between the delegates
seats, to "plcaae retire." These gentle
men failed to hear him but his injunc
tion was rapidly carried into effect by
hustling badged officials who swept down
the aisles with more vigor than cere
mony.
A murmur of curiosity l>egan 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. "The correspondent
shoull have soured ' he name of the team

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

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.

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.

OBITUARY N'OTBS.
MART CATHABISB BBIGHLBY.
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
