Stnto Senator Crolhcrs (JetH tlio Nomina tion for Attorncy-ticiicral mid Marion do Unlit Sinltli for Controller Cleve land's Administration Indorsed. Baltimore, Aug. 1. Wlion the news was doflultoly flashed throughout head quarters that Senator Gorman had slated tho rich dry goods merchant, John E. Hurst, of this city, for gubernatorial honors, nnd Stato Senator Crothers for tho nttornoy genornlshlp In placo of Gen eral Kyd Douglas, who had boon conceded the nomination, n howl of surprise and disappointment wont up from many qunrtors, especially from tho country dele gates, whero the deslro for reassessment Is itrong, and whore the friends of this moasure had supported tho candldaoy of Thomas C. Ilnyes, a leading exponent of reassessment. Several of Hayes' supportors wera so embittered that thoy declarod their inten tion of voting for Judge Fisher, the avowed opponent of Gorman. Senator Hayea, who asserted that he had from the outset been assured of Gorman's support, emphatically declared he would remain in the fight, and openly charged treaohory. The other candidates, however, excepting Judge Fisher, philosophically bowed to the inevitable, and Hurst and Crothers were nominated. Marlon de Knlb Smith, of Kent county, received the nomination for comptroller. Hattersly Talbott, chairman of the state convention committee, in calling the con vention to order m&do a llvoly address. During ltene enthusiast proposed a dheor for John E. Hurst. The cheers and the hisses, however, woro almost oo.ua! in volume. A oheer for Senator German met with better success. Mr. Talbott pre dicted a big Democratic success this year. He closed by introducing Mr. Bernard Carter as temporary ohalrman. Mr. Carter said he felt confident that the party would this year, as it has in the past, go forward with united front to a great vlotory. He called attention to the fact that this year in Maryland tho Repub lican party was active nnd aggressive, and warned his hearers that harmony was necessary in tho Democratic ranks. Tho committee on resolutions, after an hours' deliberation, returned with a unan imous report. The resolutions approved of tho Democratic platform of 18'J3 and of tho able and patriotic administration of President Cleveland. Thoy declare against froo sliver, and approve of tho AVllsou tar iff bill, which was characterized as the best tho country has known for thirty llvo years. Tho administration of Gov ernor Brown was highly complimented. The reassossmonfc was rognrded by the committee as being demanded by the peo ple. The nominee, John E. Hnrst, although a Gorman adberont, has also beon u con sistent follower of tho Cleveland admin istration, and will doubtless poll the bulk of tho party's votora. To be Kltctroouted Is'ext Weslc.

Extensive Property Improvements Being Made In Town. ENLARGING THE LIGHT PLANTS ! Tlio SliciinnilouH Heat & l'ower Comiiaiir I'utlliiK In Another Djimiuo mid (Ins Tank nnl llcmiMleliiig On.; (if lti ltiillilluK. A tour of the borough shows that consider able building is going 011 in many parts and much of the work is of a very important character. Tho season is a good 0110 for car penters, stonemasons, bricklayers, painters and other workmen. Mr. Michael O'Hara is among the property owners who are making extensive improvements. Ground has been broken for a handsome two and a-half story cottage at tlio Market alley end of this gen tleman's property. It will bo at tho comer of Lloyd street nnd the alley and very ma terially enhance the appearance and value of other properties in that vicinity. This part of town is fast becoming among the most desirable for residences and in tho Spring will bo far more improved, as Mr. L.J. Wilkinson, the South Main street dry goods merchant, will erect two handsome cottages at tho southwest corner of Lloyd street and Market ulley, directly opposite the corner now being improved by Mrs. O'Hara. t tho electric light station of tlio Shenan doah Heat & Power Company, corner of Lloyd and Bowers streets, there are additional evidences of industry. Tho company is re modeling the building and will make it one of the most imposing and substantial struc tures In the line of electric light stations to bo found in the interior of tho state. The wooden sides, front, rear wall and floorings have been removed and their places are liciug taken by brick. While tlio work is in pro gress the immense slato roof of the building is supported by stout uprights. It is a big undertaking. The sido walls are 120 feet long and tho front nnd rear walls 00 feet in width. A stone foundation has been placed for all the walls. Several improvements aro also being mado to the mechanical part of the plant. The capacity is to be increased by tho addition of a 500-light dynamo ami a new modern switch board is to be put in. The flooring is to be replaced by cement work and no timber other than the rafters of tho roof will bo left in the huiliding, so that it will bo as near fire-proof as it is possible to make it. The Shenandoah Heat & Power Company is also making extensive improvements at its gas plant 011 South Main street. A new g.is tank 40 feet in diameter and 10 feet deep, and with a capacity of 20,000 cubic feet, is about to be erected. The excavation for the tank is about to be completed. The excavation is 17 feet in diameter. It will be lined with a two-foot brick wall and n foot space will in tervene between tho tank nnd the wall. There will also be a six-inch space around the outer wall. The new tank will more than double tlio capacity of plant, as the old tank was but the 33 1 feet iu diameter and 10 feet deep. Tho latter was not equal to tho demand in tho winter time since many consumers are now using 3, 4 and 5-foot burners, whereas they used 1 and 2-foot burners in the past. Tho new tank is being erected by Bartlett oc Haywood, of Baltimore. Tlio new building of tho Phoenix Fire Company, on North Jardin street, is beginning to assume shape. The brickwork and stone front of tlio first floor is almost completed and it shows that the building will bo a very handsome ono. Tho front will certainly bo the most imposing of any iu tho town. Wm. Fricke, the North Jardln street mer chant, has very much improved the appear ance of iiis property by laying a flag-stone pavement. The new schooi building, on South Jardin sticet, is now receiving tlio finishing touches and will bo formally inspected by members of the School Board within a few days. The building is a very handsome and complete ono and tho people may well feel proud of it. Contractor M. P. Fowler is highly compli mented for his work. Mapy people nro offering inducements to tho Shenandoah Hoat & Powor Company to extend its steam boating pipes out South Jardln street and along Oak and Cherry streets, westward as far as Chestnut street. Tho company has tho matter under advise ment. Thero lire two grout obstacles in tho way. In the first place, tho cost to extend tho lino as desired will run into several thousands of dollars and tho number of present applicants is not adequate to justify tho company in undertaking tho work. Then, again, tho portion of the town in which it is desired to havo tlio lino extended is reported to b.0 cousjdorubly uudoruiiued, and in tho event of such being tho caso the company fears it would be subjected to constant heavy expense in making repairs. In speaking of the matter yesterday, however, a member of tho company said ho did not consider tlio difficulties insurmountable and that tho ggjution of tlio problom routed principally Upon tho amount of encouragement that Would bo forthcoming from tho people. Thus far, ho said, tlio company had received com paratively little encouragement fbr Its in VBitment of from $25,000 to $80,000 ami had liSfln disappointed in many reepeoto, especially if lining doprived of contractu to heat fcome QfUio school buildings, which service it gflbred at loss than fifty per cent, of tho cost of jieating school buildings in other towns whero stoum hunting plants are iu operation, notably Pottsville.
