The Post says that the -'Democrats Won" in the Democratic Convention of Allegheny Co. last week. The conven tion endorsed Robb, a Republican for Judge, and there promises to be a "warm time"' in Allegheny Co., this Fall. Summers M. Jack, of Indiana was nominated for Congress by the Twen ty-first district Republican conference on Wednesday of last week on the 43d ballot. At the forenoon session eight ballots were taken, but these proved mere skirmishes. Only one ballot was necessary in the afternoon. W hen the roll was called Westmoreland, first on the list, cast three votes for Robbins: then Clearfield broke away from the Westmorelander and voted three for Jack. Indiana fallowed suit, giving the Indiana man nine votes to three for Robbins. At the Democratic county convention held in New Castle last week Jessie J. Dean, an old Republican, was placed on the Democratic ticket for the Legisla ture. At Altoona one of the Democratic nominees for the Legislature withdrew, and the convention substituted a man named by the Wanamaker Republi cans. On Friday last Rev. Swallow ad dressed an open letter to Senator oua> in reply to an article in a Philadelphia newspaper, in which the senator threat ened Swallow with prosecution for his alleged connection with an attack on Mr. Quay's priyate character in the New York Voice. The doctor said he would be at his office all next day and also Tuesday, when it would be his pleasure to accept and acknowledge service of summons. Gov. Hastings appointed J. A. Evans Judge of C. P.

The 15th Regiment expects to receive its August pay Tuesday, and to start for Camp Meade, Middletown, Pa., Thursday. Onr good things seem to be coming all in a bunch. Maj. Crawford announced at dress parade Friday even ing that we would move in a few days, and then later in the evening orders came to move Thursday. Rumors are called "bags" here and the "latest bag is that we will maieh from camp to Washington inHyC&vymarching orderin stead of the boat. This brings the progolnof blisters and sore should bae is that we will IK* ■"Blustered out at Middletown and that recruiting officers will be there to en list those who wish to continue in the service into the regular army. This Strikes us as being a good arrangement. It will give those warlike spirits who are so anxious to go to Cuba after Spain has surrendered a chance to get there. Then they can drill and do guard duty and the mean little police and fatigue jobs for three long happy years. They can fill some "little god's" water bar rels, cut his grass, clean his walks, and chop Lis kindling wood to their hearts' content. Strenge it is that some who expressed the greatest dislike for the aboved named chores very loudly ex pressed themselves in favor of doing garrison duty for the full term of our enlistments. How do they make two snch expressions agree? The court martial proceedings for writing letters for publication were not pushed in either case. No charges were preferred within ten dr.ys after arrest and the cases thus went by de fault. Of course the writers are deeply penitent for partly expressing them selves openly about their superiors! There are several names on Co. E's sick roll at present, most of them for malaria, but none of the cases are at all serious. Walter McCormick, who ha.? been sick, will start for Butler within the next few days. Will Sutton and Fred Roessing went Saturday. Rob. Adama and Ed. Livingstone went last Thursday. Privates Green, Ritter, Watson, Beat tv and C. E. Smith have returned from their visits home. Howard Marshall of Butler, came in. with Smith yesterday and experienced a camp Sunday. Armstrong, of Pittsburg, and June Sutton spent a few days with ns last week. They found it very pleasant to stretch out on our downy pine boards and be lulled to sleep by our mosquito at tendants. Those who return from visits home say they sleep more sonndly on the tent floors than in the soft beds they nsed a long time ago. Sunday morning Mr. Howe conduct ed church services in the giove. In the afternoon the Battery boys, assisted by Kid Williams of Butler's '97 club, play ed a ball game with Co. A The score stood 9t09 at the end of the ninth in ning and the game ended in a dispute in the tenth. "Kid" struck ten men out during the last four innings. E. H. NEGLEY. Schley at Han Juan. The transport Seneca, carrying Rear Admiral W. S. Schley and Brig. Gen. W. W. Gordon, of the Porto Rico mili tary commission, arrived at San Juan, Porto Rico Monday night. Next morn ing a boat from the New Orleans took Admiral Schley aboard. As he went over the steamer's side, her passengers gave three cheers and a "tiger." One man yelled: "Hurrah for the next President." Admiral Schley was given an enthusiastic reception on board the New Oreleans. The Seneca brought also the postal commission, 3D nurses and six contract surgeons. The Seneca went to Ponce. Paymaster Authur, who is on board, has $1,000,000 for the troops. The Spanish brigadier general, Val larino, made an official visit to Admiral Schley Later Admiral Schlej and Gen Gordon went ashore and took up their quarters at the hotel Ing'.eterra, The only gaurd for the party consisted of three policemen, but even these were Unnecessary. About 4 o'clock Gen. Brooke arrived from Rio Piedraa, and the three commissioners, all of whom are ranked by Capt. Gen. Macias, made a call upon him. It is reported that the Spanish com missioners expect considerable compen sation for the Spanish property to bo relinquished. ♦"lit Tlnougii Dervish Horde. Lotulon. September s.—Dispatches from Omdumiap relate that the news paper correspondent, Howard, who was afterwards killed, rode in the gallant charge cf the Twenty-first Lancers. These troops were scouting. when they saw in the bush between 600 and 700 Dervishes. The Lancers charged the enemy and suddenly fonnd themselves face to face with 2.000 sordsmen. being thus outnumbered four to one. The Dervishes were hidden from view in a hollow. The Lancew charged through them, reformed and charged back to re cover their wounded, who were beinS savagely slaughtered. The official list gives the number of British officers killed in the capture of Otndunuan as two. while thirteen were wounded. Of the men 3a were killed and 99 wounded.

The War Office received this evening the following dispatch, dated atOmdnr man yesterday, from the Sirdar, Gen. Sir Herbert Kitchener: This morning the British and Egyp tian flags were hoisted with due cere mony upon the walls of the Saraya (the palace) in Khartoum. "All the British wounded have left for Abadia in barges towed by steam ers. I saw them before leaving. They were all doing well and were comfort able. The calvary sent in pursuit of the Khalifa were compelled to abandon the attempt, owing to the exhaustion of the horses, but I have ordered camel squads to continue the pursuit. IN Switzerland they have commenced making phonographic clocks and watches which, it appears, leave any thing heretofore accomplished far in the shade. By merely pressing the but ton of the new timepiece, it pronounces the hour distinctly. The alarms call to the sleeper: "It s six o'clock; get up. There are some which even add the words: "Now don't go to sleep again. The form can be changed to suit the buyer and make the warning more or less emphatic. This application of the phonographic principle is due to a French watch maker settled in Geneva. He introduces into clocks and watches little slabs of valcanized rubber, on which the desired words are traced in grooves corresponding to the hours and fractions of hours. Harmony and Zelienople.

"When I was a youngster, say of 21," remarked the veteran journalist of a western city to a Washington "Star re porter. "I was the editor of a countrv paper in a town of 5,000 people, and having liyed for a year in New York I had an idea that I was really the only person in town who knew anything. I had a pretty hard time making things come my way, but youth and enter- nrise are hard to down, and I kept at it. There was one firm in town, Smith Brothers, which was the strongest and most conservative there, and I knew an advertisement from them would be the making of me, but they were very slow in letting me have it. However, I per sisted until at last I had it in my clutches, and I grasp it as a drowning man grasps at a life preserver, Ibe senior partner, who was a most aus tere and particular old chap, and a dea con into the bargain, was anxious to impiess nie with the fact that the\ were doing a great deal for me, and I must return value received. All of which I agreed to do, and then the old gentleman surprised me by teiling nie he would give me the copy and leave it to my new-fangled notions, as he called them, to make up an ad. that would show the Smith Brothers to be as pro gressive and ready to meet the modern ideas as well as any other merchants in town. This was more than I conld have asked for if they had begged me to do so. and 1 went out of the place al most shouting. When I reached my office I read the copy over again to find its strong points of display. It was as follows, far I never can forget it: •Smith Brothers, the well known deal ers in groceries, are pleased to make the announcement that they are in receipt of the biggest stock of canned goods ever seen here, and they will be told at prices hitherto unknown Some adver tisers may be liars, bnt Smith Brothers are happy in knowing that they have a reputation for veracity which is worth more to them than gold. "That was good, plait) stuff, with not much \jf a margin visible for the play of my versatile fancy, but I was expected to do something that would attract at tention. for the old gentleman had been especially strong on that point. He was tired of the plainly severe, he said, and wanted somthing that wofild not fail to stir things up. I sat up more than half the night with that copy, and when morning came I had it all in shape to fill a column, the amount of space he wanted it to occupy, Hti Mr} ffle, when he gave me the copy, that if he didn t get around to see the proof, just to let it go and take the chances, which I did when he didn't ,ij)Msr, and when the paper came out, there, IU ill," biggest and blackest letters I conld set up. was this advertisement for a full column on the first page* SMITH BROTHER*, the well known dealers in groceries. ARE pieased to THE announcement that they are in rwasipi of the BIGGEST stock ui fanned goods ever seen here, and at prices hitb>'j"to unknown. Some advertisers may 1 41 LIARS but Smith Brothers are happy knowing that they have a reputation in TOWN for veracity which is worth more to them than gold.' "Well, when the Smith Brothers saw that ad. fairly shouting to them and at them and rtbosf them, they were the maddest men you eve. »aw ( and they were only restrained by their religion from shooting me on the spot. How ever, ihay s!?ed me in spite of all my defense of the attr«utivv?,qualities of the display, and I would have gone «.•< tic Vy3.1l for my uenius and Napoleonic brillianuy fear] jt not been for the fact that before the tim* ~f hearing the suit the ad. had actually given liiliith Brothers a boom that almost frighten ed them by its tremendous popularity, and though they never repeated the ad. and always made me submit matter be fore it was printed, we became great friends, and each of 11s did much for the other in financial and other ways.

At an early hour, Saturday August 27th a most fitting day. the friends and relatives ot' Mr. Peter Ifft began to gath er at his house in Franklin township. Although much surprised Mr Ifft soon recognized it to be the sixtieth an nuversary of his birth and the fifty-fifth anniversary of the birth of his better half Mrs. Ifft. After a large crowd had assembled and a warm greeting had been extended to all by Mr. Ifft and family a large table was ladened with that which is necessary for the sustenance of life. The people having gathered around the table Rev. E. C. Shu maker gave thanks to Almighty God for the preservation of our lives and the continuation of his goodness toward us. after which all joined in the repast and the pangs of hunger were soon satisfied. Everyone had begun to enjoy them selves in a sociable way when they were called to order by W. B. Currie, Mr. I. R. Brannan acting as chairman, they then listened to a few well rendered ad dresses those to be most mentioned be ing delivered by Willis A. McCall and Rev. E. C. Shniuaker, all speakinghigh lv of Mr. Ifft and family as citizens and of the benefits derived from such meet ings in the way of cultivating socialism and patriotism". Some delightful music consisting of familiar hymns and na tional airs was furnished hy a choir of young folks. When the exercises were ended the men joined in an exciting game of ball the principal features of which were the twirling of the sphere by Rev. Shuina ker, the heavy hitting of Mike Fair, and the base running of .Tames Wilson. After the ball game was ended all re turned home thinking that the day had been well spent. E. R. Stamm Sec.

The case against the j California woman seems to be com pletely established. The circumstantial evidence against her is overwhelming i ; But the chances are that she will escape I punishment, and even avoid trial, but invoking in her behalf a legal techni- | cality. It seems that the rule of American j | jurisprudence, with reference to the j | extradition of accused criminals from I I one state to another, is limited within ' close lines. That is to say. in order to | i bring an accused person within extra I 1 di table conditions, it must be shown that such person was within the state | making the claim, committed the crime i while there and surreptitiously departed | a fugitive from justice. As in this case, the criminal agent was transmitted by mail and the accused was not in the state in which the poisoning occurred at the time it occurred, it is held that she is not amenable to the extradition laws, and if that be true, she cannot be brought ro trial, conviction or punish ment. 'I he principles of law which give the accused the benefit of every doubt and holds the prisoner innocent until proved guilt}- are no doubt just and wise. But there ought to be some guarantee that criminals will be brought tn justice and punishment, and a way provided to bring to trial those who are palpably guilty. The criminal codes in all the states are defective, but this delin quency in the extradition laws is the most glaring thus far brought into public notice.—Pittsburg News.
