REWING PENNA. Mr. Piatt's Name Not Presented or Voted For. WARNER MILLER HOT ADMITTED Objection Made to Even Allow Mr. Miller to Address the Convention, but Mr. Flatt Moved That the Gentle man bo Heard. SaiiatoOA, Aug:. 20 The delegates to tho Kcpubllcnn state convention were early In reaching tho hnll, and by noon thero was n big irnthoring of prominent men from nil parts of tho state prepared to proceed with tho work in hand. When Mr. I'lntt entered tho hall tho entlru as semblage rose Tho applause was deafen ing. Mr. Piatt's usunl nervousness was apparent, and when ono of tho bands plnyoil "Hail to tho Chief" ho did not look particularly pleased. As tho applause sub sided an enthusiastic spectator shouted: "Three cheers for Thomns C. I'latt!" and tho call was answered with a will. Mr. Piatt stopped to shako hands with Mr. Hlseock, and then went to his seat. Ilonjnniln Odell, in tho nbsenco of State Chairman Ilnokctt, called tho convention to order and Bishop Newman offered prayer. Congressman Frank Ulack win selected for temporary chairman. Ho dis cussed tho (lnanctnl issue and criticized tho Democratic platform. At the conclu sion of Chairman Mack's siieoch thousual committees wero named. The committee on permanent organization met directly after adjournment, and selected General Stownrt H. Woodford, of Brooklyn, as permanent chairman of tho convention. Tho most interesting contest before tho credentials committeo was that from Her klmer between Titus Sheard, tho sitting; delegate, and Warner Miller, tho latter nccu sing tho former of fraud. 'I ho com mittee's report, making tho temporary roll permanent, excluded Mr. Miller from a stato convention for tho first time in thirty years. When tho convention reassembled tho report was presented. Deputy Attorney Goneral Hnsbrouck asked for a division of tho question and a separate vote on tho Oneida county enso. Then In tho centra of ho hall from tho Herkimer county scats come Warner Miller. His face was full, and his Hps trembled as from parts of tho hall camo cheers and from other parts hisses and yells of derision. "Get out, you don't be- long hero," "you aro a traitor," etc., came cries from tho galleries. 1'andembnlum arose and tho chairman's gavel was almost useless to quell It. Then Otto Irving Wlso, of Now York, mado himself heard above the din. I object to Mr. Miller speaking, Ho Is not on tho roll of the convention." Then again tho row arose. Tho galleries yelled in derision and again called names. Tho supporters of .Sixton and Roberts cheered as a, challenge to thisclomont, and for a few minutes Mr. Miller stood silent In this storm of derision and applause. In a lull In tho tumult the chairman said derisively, "From what county does the gentleman come)"' and his sarcasm was greeted with eheors and a renewal of hisses and cheers. Down In tho front Thomas C. I'latt, his brows knitted, started to get to his feet. In an Instant thero was a calm, andln his quiet voice ho was heard to say: "Mr. Chairman, I hom and I movo that the gentleman bo heard." Organization and unti-organlzation joined In tho applause that followed this clever oo'ipe, and tho gavol of tho chairman llnally succceciedin restoring order. Mr. Miller then began to Fpenk. Ills re marks wero dignified and not Incendiary. His declaration of Republicanism, despite such treatment as might bo accorded him, brought forth a storm of applause, and his declaration of loyalty to tho party was similarly received, lie hogau his address with n mild snr castle referenco to Mr. I'latt by saying: "I did not believe that this convention would rcfuso mo a hearing. But It seems to mo, sir, that It took tho power of ono man (I'latt) to grant mo that hearing, and I return to him my thanks for tho courtesy of commanding this convention to glvo mo a hearing." Ho then reviewed tho Herkimer county convention and tho primaries to select delegates to it, declaring that gross irregu larities wero numerous and that In tho convention ho was declared defeated, yet four moro votes wero east for him than for his opponont. He accepted tho do clslon of thoeommlttoo, however, and said Inclosing: "If you do more In thlscauso from now until November than I shall do, it will bo only liecauso you are stronger and moro able than I am." When Mr. Miller llnlshed ho was heartily applauded, and crlos of "Miller's all right," and "what's tho matter with Mlllorf" showed that tho speech had had some effect. Mr. Husbrouck's motion to divide tho question was defeated by a viva voce vote, and thon tho crowd paused in Its hurrah ing to seo tho rosult. Mr. Miller nroso, ami In a composed manner walked down the aislo to tho spectators' seats. Thero was hardly it sound either from thosneerers or tho cheerers. It was a peculiar chango from tho earlier scene of riot and disorder. Tho nomination for governor was then proceeded with. George W. Aldridgo led on tho first ballot with SHI votes, followod by Hamilton Fish with 111. On the sec ond ballut Aldridgo had 237; Fish, 123. Clinton County Democratic Convention.

MANY MINE WORKERS WILL REJOICE The Remodelling of tho Breaker Has Been Completed Much Earlier Than Was Antlclpateo-At Least Five Hundred Workers Will be Benefitted. Tho pcoplo of Yatesvillo and Jncksons, as well as a largo number of Shenandoah and Mahanoy City, will be delighted to hoar that operations will be resumed at tho Knicker bocker colliery, commonly called "Fowler's," at Yatosville, next Tuesday morning. Tho intelligence will also lie surprising, as it was not expected that the extensive repairs and alterations to the breaker undertaken six weeks ago could be completed In le-s than three or fuiir mouths. Night and day work by an extra large force of carpenters has brought tho glad news much earlier than expected. Tho breaker of tho colliery has been so thoroughly overhauled that its old identity is almost entirely lost and it is now ono of the best plants in the region. Thousands of dol lars have been expended in the alterations and repairs and they hao been carried out on the same lines followed in the reconstruc tion of the breaker at the Shenanduah City colliery. All tho most modem equipments ami appliances have been introduced for pre paring tho oi.il and It is expected that not only will the capacity of tho colliery be in creased, but tho quality of tho coal shipped will be correspondingly improved. Ono im portant change in the equipment is the abolishment of tho screen system. All screens have been replaced by the more recent and approved shaker system. Of course there has been a general change in the chutes, etc., and the jig plant has liccu greatly increased to prepare the smaller coal through the washcry system. The Knickerbocker colliery is ono of tho largest in tills part of the region and a gloom was cast over many homes when operations were suspended indefinitely six weeks ago to allow the breaker to bo remodelled. The colliery gives employment, Inside and out side, to from 500 to 57," men and boys and ac cording to tho last annual official report pro duced 200.32S tons of coal. Oild Tenons' New llidlillng.
