HOBART FOR VICE PRESIDENT
An Attempt to Secure a Specific Indorse
ment of Major McKinley Decided Out
of Order The Proposition Re
garded as Impolitic.
Trenton, April 17. Tho Republicans
of New Jersey mot hero in convention yes
terday nftornoon nntl unanimously elected
tno slated enndldatos, United States Sen
ator William J. Sowoll, Gurrott A. Ho
bnrt, John Kean, Jr., nndStnto Chairman
Franklin Murphy, ns dclegates-nt-largo to
tho St. Louis convention, with Congross-.
man H. O. I,oudeuslager, C. K. Breokln
rldgo, Barker Gummero and Charles A.
Reed as alternates. Tho dolcgates wore
not Instructed regarding Hie presidential
nomination, but tho platform contained n
strong rocommondatlon of Garrett A. Ho
bart as an nvnllablo man far tho vice pres
idency. Somo frlonds of. Mr. Hobart, led
by Congressman McKwcn, endeavored to
securo the adoption of a specific Indorse
ment of MoKlnley, but tho leaders re
garded such hampering of tho delegates as
Impolitic, nud tho proposition was ruled
out of ordor.
What promised to bo a hot fight botwoen
tho friends of Franklin Murphy and Elln3
S. Ward, tho wealthy railroad man, as to
which of them should bo n delognto to St.
Louts, was averted at tho last moment by
tho withdrawal of Mr. Ward's namo. Tho
principal Interest in tho platform centored
In tho money plank, nnd, us expected, the
convention adopted a resolution declaring
for tho gold standard and against tho freo
coinage of sllvor.
Tho frlonds of Mr. Hobart dcolaro that
his candidacy for vico presldunt will be
vigorously pushed. They recognlzo, how
ever, that If an eastern man heads the
ticket his chances aro wcakenod, nnd It
was for this reason that somo of his friends
endeavored to securo tho indorsement of
McKinley.
Tho Now Jersey congressmen who favor
Reed, and thoy nro si out of the oight,
also did much to Influence tho decision not
to declaro for McKinley. Congressman
MoKwan, who, with Congressman Stew
art, Is for McKinley, mado an effort In the
closing moments of tho convention to
have n MoKlnley resolution adopted, but
failed, through the opposition of Sonator
Sowell, whospoko against Instructing delc
gates,and said that delegates chosen could
bo trusted to do tholr duty. For hlmsolf,
ho said ho would resign rather than go to
St. Louis tagged.

HOLMES EMBRACES RELIGION.
tfhe Condemned Murderer Formally Ke
eelvetl Into the Catholle Church.
Philadelphia, April 17. H. H. Holmes
Was baptized and received Into tho Catho
lic church yesterday. The coremony was
performed by Rev. P. Dalley, pastor of
tho Church of tho Annunciation, In
Holmes' cell In Moyamenslng prison. Bo
sldes Holmes nnd Father Dalloy thoro
were present Rov. Fathers Do Cantlllon,
Hlgglns and McCabo. Tho condemned
man went through tho ceremony slowly
and solemnly, and with every evidence of
sincerity. Ills responses wcro mado in a
firm voice and his eyes seldom wandered
from Father Dnlloy s faco.
As Is often dono In tho cases of per
sons received Into tho Cnthollo church
who hnvo boon baptized In tho Protestant
faith, tho baptism was mado conditional
Holmes was unable to fully satisfy Father
D.illoy that ho had really boon baptized
into tho Congregational church, of which
he claims to have been a member slnco
childhood. Had Father Dalley been suro
that Holmes had been so baptized tho sec
ond baptismal ceremony would not have
been performed, tho first being recognized.
Ono phaso of Holmes' recoptlon Into tho
Cathollo church Is of peculiar Interest.
Catholics have impressed upon thorn from
tho moment thoy nro received Into the
church tho fact that no ono who dlos by
his or her own hand, can enter tho king
dom of Heaven. No sulcldo Is burled In
consocrated ground. Holmos, having em
braced this faith so shortly beforo this
date of his oxeoutlou, has ovldently do-
elded to wait for tho gallows rather than
to attempt self destruction, if ho over con
templated tho latter.

More Fruitless Ballots Taken to Elect a
Water Superintendent.
MR. M'ELHENHY WAS NOT PRESENT
Mr. Lally Raises a Point as to What
Constitutes an Election and the Ques
tion is Referred to the Committee
on Law-Other Proceedings.
iV regular meeting of tho Borough Council
was held last evening nnd considerable busi
ness was transacted, including another at
tempt to electa superintendent of the public
iatcr works, hut with no better result than
nt tho last session.
Tho Councllmeu in attendance were
Messrs. Magargle, Gable, Straughn, Iloehui,
Hand, licese, Coakley, Mcflulre, Iveams,
Englert, Lally, Murphy, 1). It. James und
President T. J. James.
Among the first to address tho meeting was
Mr. C. V. Titman, who asked that some
action be taken on bill presented by the
Shenandoah Water & Gas Company several
weeks ago. The bill Includes tho judgment
the company recovered for water used in tho
lire plugs several years ago and charges lor
water used since tho judgment was re
covered, as well as Interest on the judgment.
Mr. Titman said ho hoped the matter could
bo arranged without any more law suits nnd
ho had been authorized to state that If Coun
cil sees fit to do so, it may connect as many
firo plugs as it wishos with tho old water
plant for tho lump sum of ifoOO per year.
It was decided that the bill, which amounts
to almost fO.000, bo referred to tho water com-
mittco and that tho committee meet the
olticials of tho company and ascertain the
best settlement that can bo made. The
proposition for a continued supply of water
was also referred for recommendation.
Health Olllcer Conry appeared and called
attention to tho Caston case on West Centre
street. Mr. Couiy stated that the husband
and wifo wcro In extreme poverty and unable
to bury the corpso of their child, nnd wanted
to know what Council would do in the
matter. .
President James said ho did not consider
Council tho proper body to ho called upon.
The Poor Directors should act.
Mr. Conry replied that Poor Director
Middleton said the Board could only allow
$2 for tho burial. Tho expense would bo at
least SS.
Borough Solicitor Pomeroy stated that somo
years ago the borough had a similar case and
recovered the expenses from the Poor Direc
tors by suit before Judgo Pershing and on
another occasion remains wcro shipped to tho
Almshouse and tho Directors wero obliged to
bury them. If tho body has become a public
nuisance, said tho Solicitor, I seo no way out
of tho matter other than that tho ilealtl
Olllcer abate tho uuisanco at onto and hold
tho Poor Directors for tho expense.
Tho roads and highways committee,
through Mr. Boehm, mado a lengthy report
in which it was stated that White street has
never been opened south of tho Lehigh A al
ley railroad and Mulberry alley, which runs
west of West street, between Poplar nnd
Laurel, has never been opened. Thero was
considerable complaint about tho sanitary
condition of several streets and alleys and
President James took occasion to again urgo
the Chief Burgess, lligh Coustablo and other
authorities to ouforco tho ordinances and
other laws. Many of tho nuisances aro due
to peoplo falling to put down pavements
and gutters and in making dumping
grounds of placos. Apple alley needs clean
ing and grading from Market alley to Howers
street, and from Jardiu to Gilbert streets ;
and Gilbert btreot north of Coal shows gutters
onlv in front of tho company houses. Mr.
Hand said thero Is no pavement on cither
sido of Chestnut street, from Centro to Oak.
President James called attention to a bad
pavement on Wost Coal street.
Tho Shenandoah Electric Illuminating
Company was grauted tho right to plant two
poles for an extension of its lino on Coal
street, from .Market alley to White street.
Thu claim of Otto Carl for damage to his
wagon on account of bad condition of Whlto
street was referred to tho law committee,
Jlr. Englert complalnod of a uuisanco on
West Huckleberry alley on account of a pen
containing 7 or 8 pigs and tho High Con-
stablo was instructed to abate tho ovll and
all others of like nature.
Tho complaint was mado that tho west end
of Coal street was mado dangerous by a tail
track of tho Kohinoor colliory, and a wall or
somo cribbing should bo built. Tho matter
was referred to tho street committee.
Jlr. JIcGuIro said tho highway at Indian
Itidgo colliery is endangered by an embank
ment of tho I-akesido Electric Itailway,
lteferred to the street cuiumltteo.
Council will ashcutblo to-night nud decido
upon the advisability of allowing tho Schuyl
kill Traction Company to raise its track on
North Main street on condition that tho
company relays the paving.
A request by Jlr. Keams that Jlrs. Loftus,
of West Oak street, be exempted from taxes,
was referred to the flnanco committee.
It was decided to purchase 800 feet Key
stono and TOO feet of Eureka hose for tho lire
department.
Tho contract for tho police helmots was
awarded to W. J Jlorgan by the lamp and
watch committee and confirmed by Council.
D. It. James rcnowed his request to hnvo a
firo plug placed at tho slaughter houses on
tho road leading to Turkey Ituu nud the
water committee was instructed to give the
matter attention.
Mr. Kearus asked that another flro plug be
placed at Turkey Kuu and tho Defender Hose
Company bo allowed 300 feet of hoso.
A petition askiug for a grade fur the west
cud of Lloyd street was read and referred to
the street committee with power to net. The
placo referred to has becu used as a dumping
ground.
An invitation from Watkin Waters Post,
Gi A. It., to participate In the Jtemorial Day
exercises was accopted, but a motion that
carriagos bo hired was defeated.

pointment as superintendent of tho water
works was road und filed.
Jlr. Straughn stated that he had been re
quested to ask that tho Board of Health ap-
proprlation ho increased. Mr. tally moved
that It bo raised from T30 to flMJO, hut tho
motion was defeated.
President James then announced that
Council would again tako up the election of ft
watiy superintendent, which was dropped at
tho last meeting after 10 ballots had uecit
taken without reaching nn election. The
secretary called tho roll and fourteen mem
