WAS ONE CONVENTION THE OUTCOME I SCHUYLKIM, DELEGATES TO A MAN ENROLLED UNDER THE QUAY BANNER. SCHUYLKILL AND THE COMMITTEES ! The Streets of Harrisburg Witnessed Wild Scenes When tho Result of the Caucus Was Made Known-Chris. Magee Gave Up the Fight Early Last Night and Acknowledged Defeat. Special to KVH.NINd Hkiiai.Ii. llAiimsmmu, Aug. 28, 3. p. m. Tho stuto convention was called to order this morning without a jar in the prelimanry work. At tho conference between tho Quay ami CJilkesou leaders l st night tho proposition of ox-Collector Cooper that only ono convention bo held, has been fruitful of good rosults. It was agreed that the thugs who were placed, in possession of tho Opera House should ho re moved and thereupon tho Quay men agreed upon that place for holding tho stuto conven tion. Tho proposition of tho Quay people was accepted on motion of Mr. Magee, one of tho leaders of the Combine. With this understanding only delegatos and spectators were allowed admission to tho hall. Tho first test eaiuo on tho election of tem porary chairman, and it resulted iu.a big. vic tory for the .lunior Seuator and his friends. The Quay peoplo had decided upon Con gressman Jack Hobinsou, of Chester county, as their candidate, while tho administration forces pinded their faith to Harry Hall. Tho reult was a complete, vindication for Senator Quay, who won with lunula down. Last night ho wis counting on 153 delegates, but this morning his forces wero hourly in creased by delegates deserting tho losing cause. Itobinson received 1033 votes for temporary chairman, and Hall could only monster 103, thus giving fighting Jack a majority. Immediately after tho election of Congress man Itobinson as temporary chairman was innounced Senator Quay was observed to leave his scat and walk over to the seat oc cupied by Uovornor Hastings. Tho Junior Senator extended his hand and the Governor took it. There was a hearty shako and a few whispered words whicli wero not audible. Tho convention took up the signal of harmony and the wildest enthusiasm prevailed, during which Senator Quay returned to his seat. As soon as sonio degree of order was re stored Senator Quay aroso at his scat and moved that Governor Hastings bo elected permanent chairman of tho convention by acclamation, which was done amid another great outburst of enthusiasm. At 11.48 Mr. Gilkcson arose in his seat and said that in a spirit of harmony ho would nominate Hon. Matthew Stanley Quay as Chairman of tho Itepuhlioun State Commit tee, aud moved that ho bo elected by accla mation, which was done. At 1:58 Mr. Quay nominated tlio six Superior Court Judges appointed by Governor Hast ings, as tho regular nominees of tho party, and again the convention concurred amid great jubilation. Immediately following these nominations there wero loud crios for a speech from Sena tor Quay. Tho Junior Senator responded brielly and said, "1 will endeavor, in tho ensuing cam paign, to mako it a afiiipuigu of merit." Aftor tho applauso and cheers following tho remarks had subsided there wore crios of "Hastings! Hastings! Speech! Speech!" The Governor aroso amid a flood of enthusi asm and said, "Iteccnt events in tho ltepubli can party of Pennsylvania have proved that electric storms purify tho atmosphere and tho cyclono wo have just had hero will sorvo to disrupt tho free trade and debt-creating Democracy." Tho Schuylkill delegation will reach Potts villo at 0 o'clock to-ulght.

John Rogers, Jr., Attempted Ills Life. to' End He Gave Notice That he Would Thiw Himself Before a Railroad Engine and Did So-He Was Irresponsible. John Itogers, Jr., u once very promising young'PolUh man of this community, this afternoon concluded that his era of useful ness in this world had spent Itsulf, and at tempted to end his ex interne by throwing himself in front of a coat train engine at tho Bowers Street crossing of the Lehigh Valley railroad. He escaped Wth, but his in juries are such that, coupled with his gouoml condition, they mayliavo n fatal insult. The onginu tlut struck the uttforttiimto man Was No. 3S3. it was bound westward witli a train of empty coal cms and running at a speed of from four to six miles n hour. Tho engineer surmised the man's intention when approaching tho crossing and had re duced the speed oC the train considerably. Tho train wis Mopped rightafter it struck Itogers and that accounts for tho man not be ing ground to pieces. liogurs was unconscious whoa, taken from the cowcatcher. His left foot had been crushed to pulp by tlie front wheels of tho engine, his skull was fractured and thmo wero a number of lacerations of thu lieadand face, Friends carried the victim to his hwmu on Kast Centre street, uext door to Council man O'Brien's hotel. Dr. I). J. Lungton 'as summoned and temporarily d rested tho in juries. Itogers was taken to the Minors' hospital on tho 1:40 Lehigh Valley train. A small Polish boy who witnessed the accident says that Itogers appeared to bo try ing to get on. tho cowcatcher of tlie engine, but a statement by Charles Nork leads to the conclusion that lingers made a deliberate at tempt at suicide. Nork says Itogers was play ing dice with him in a saloon during a good part of tliis morning and Itogers complained that ho had partaken of no food for three days, that ho was drinking continually. Itogers said ho wis without money and that ho Intended throwing himself before a rail road engine. Nork keeps the saloon on Lust Centre street formerly owned by Mrs. Yodkois. Shortly Icforo one o'clock Hogers said to Nork, "Do I owe you anything, Charlie?" and was answered in the negative. Ho then said, "Well, this is the last time you will see mo alive." Nork pursiiaded him to go homo and ho promised to do so, but in stead went north on Bowers street towards tho place where he made the attempt to kill himself, and within ten minutes after wis carried mangled to his homo. Itogers is a son of tho well-known East Centre street hotelkeeper. About two years ago he kept a grocery store next door to his father's saloon. He was married at about that time, but that did not seem to alter his habits. , He drank heavily. Ho was linally induced to move to Waterbury, Conn., to see if a change of surroundings would improve him, .but they did not. About a year ago lie moved back to this town with his wife and sho continued to live with him notwithstand ing his habits grew steadily worse. He lias done no work since his return hero and lias been drinking heavily most of tho time. His friends say ho was not responsible for his act. AVutsou House Fruit Lllllcli.

Bitrki.. lis.!., in tho Egun. building, were crowded' yesterday by parties to and people attractwf by curiosity in the suit of ex-Senator U C. Watfwri agaimt tho Columbia Brewing Company. Tlio suit wis instituted several weks agoti procureau injunctiou rcfttraiultqc. tho coin- puny from. operating, tho breweiy. in such n manneras to diMurb the peace, betilth aud comfort f tho plaintiff's family. Tho case eumo up yesterday in the form of i hearing before a Commissioner, who was npf eintcd to take oviiknro on the pluiiitilf'H allm-'stions. After tlie Kvidenco Is all in It will be- sub mitted to the court, and n division will bo retalered as to whuther or not the in junction sluill issue. Among tho iuteiested parties in nttcninuco yesterday wuro Stenographer Moore, of Vott.s- ville, who iactiug,us tho Coiumissiouei; ex- Cougressmau' James B. Ueilly and J-. It. Coyle, Esq., counsel for the Brewing fimi pany; John V. Wlialen and M. Jt. Burke, Kwp., counsel for ox-Senator Watson. Tho session continued from 10 a. m. uatil 1 p. m. and wis Anally adjourned to tivko additional evideiuo. Mr. Watson was tiie llrst witness examined and twom that His property, which adjoins the brewery on tho south side, liad been made unfit for a family residenco by rea-sou of the brewery oport tioas. When tho plant was first started there was not so much annoyance, but after tlie Ice plant was put in operation the nuisance became unlx-amblo. Whoi" asked to specify tho annoyance Mr. Watson said the working of a pump and an exhaust, action in the brewery caused a vibration in. every room of his houso that shook tho china and glassware ou shelves and caused tlie pieces to rattle. Tho noiso is like tho thump ing of some battering rani against tlie wall aud was most pronounced and annoying at night, making proper sleep impossible. Mr. Watson also testified that dust from tho smoke stacks of tho brewery is also a great annoyance and has not been abated even by the removal of the steam plant to tho opposite side of Pear alley. Thomas M. Scanlan, tellerat tho Merchants' National Bank and son-in-law of ex-Senator Watson, was also a witness aud testified to the noise, vibration and dust. He complained especially of tho annoyance caused by the oxhaust and expressed tho opinion that that part of tho plant was not properly adjusted Ho lives with Mr. Watson and swore that it is impossible to get a proper night's rest ill tho I house. In cross-examination ox-Cougrossman Iteilly asked if tho dust from tlie stacks was not such us would Indicate a stirring up of the fires by tho fireman in tho brewery, and Mr. Scanlan said he thought so. Ho could not indicate tlie length of time tho dust continues to fall upon Mr. Watson's property ns ho was obliged to earn his living aud could not ullbrd to stand und watch tho fulling of tho dust. .Mr. Iteilly said he thought it a very important point ami tho witness should have posted himself. Mr. Burke said ho objected to counsel lectur ing. This was tho nearest approach to u clash during the hearing, although there seems to lie a strong undercurrent of feeling in tho cuso. Counsel for tho Brewing Com pany intimates that tho suit is not based so much upon actual annoyunco und damage by operations in tho brewery ns it is upon trado rivalry. This, of course, is stoutly denied, by the opposite side. Mrs. T. M. Scanlan, Mr. Watson's daughter, testified that during ono period she was un ubloto sleep u night during two weeks on account of the operations and that tho ilitst from tho stacks made it necessary for thu family to send its washing out. Windows had to bo cleaned repeatedly. Mrs. Ellis, daughter of Sol. Hank, ulso testified to the iiunoyancoH from the vibration and stack dust. .Mrs. William Mitchell, a nUco of ox-Senator Watson's and who occupies thu houso adjoining tho south side of his residence, confirmed the testimony of the other wit nesses and slid tliat visitors to her house re cently complained that they could not sleep ou account of the noise. Tlie stack dust obliged her to re-wash her clothes. Counsel for thu Brewing Company cross examined the witnesses, but did not devote much time to It and did not call any wit nesses. Tho proceedings parUko of un ex parto character, aud both sides to tlie con troversy will not bo fully heard at this stuge. Appearances indicate that tho litigation is to bo a prolonged one.
