Democratic State Convention Unquali

A UNION .WITH THE POPULISTS I
Populist Teromo T. Allman Nominated for
Congro9stnan-at-Largo, and Populists
Bterrltt and Ireland Electors-at-Large-To
Unite In Close Districts.
IlAlilUBiioiM), Sept. 11. Tho Democratic
state convention, reconvened for the pur
poso of filling; vacancies ontho statu tlckpt
caused by various resignations since the
Chicago convention, mot yesterday and
transacted Its business. The silver men
vrcro In complete control and they passed
resolutions Indorsing Hrynn and tho Chi
cago platform. Cnptaln John II. Kcenan,
of Westmoreland, was temporary and per
manent chairman, and made a speech
strongly advising fusion with the Popu
lists. Tho Populists' overtures for fusion were
accepted, and tho two parties will work
togethur In closo congressional, senatorial
and representative districts. Much oxclto
ment resulted from an ellort of tho op
ponents of William F. Harrity to pass a
resolution requesting tho Domocrutio na
tional committee to expel him from that
body, but they fallod on a closo vote 171
to 1U7. Tho two candidates for congress-
mon-at-largo previously nominated at tho
Allontown convention having resigned,
Dowltt C. Dowltt; Democrat, and Jeromo
T. Allman, Populist, were chosen In their
stead.
Threo of tho four clectors-nt-lurgo had
also resigned, and their places were filled
by Thomas Sterritt nnd Louis M. Ireland,
Populists, and Thomas G. Delahunty, of
Philadelphia, Democrat Tho now district
delegates are : John H. Kcenan of Phila
delphia, James J. King of Philadelphia,
Thomas McCullough of Philadelphia,
Michael Delaney of Choster, Charles I).
Kaler of Mahanoy City and Samuel W.
Hlnck of Pittsburg.
Tho convention was undoubtedly hearty
in its support of Uryan and tho Chicago
platform, much geuulno enthusiasm being
manlfestod. Naturally there was much
confusion and wrangling, and some show
of bad blood. Tho lack of opposition to
tho Populist fusion was surprising to tho
old leaders In attendance.
A protest against what they described as
"revolutionary proceedings" was filed by
tho gold delegates, and most of them re
frained from participation In tho proceed
ings. Condemned Murderers' right for Lite.
HoiXlDAYSliuiio, Pa., Sept. 11. Tho

upon a confession alleged to nave been
mado by Joseph Illldobrandt, a convict In
tho Maryland penitentiary, In which Illl
dobrandt admitted killing Honnccka. To
oltsct tho damaging evidence against tho
commonwealth tho district attorney called
Wljlhuii Kent and Uruco Donaldson, two

vania, who testlllod that J. K. llacon. a
fellow convict, had confessed to them that

Pottsvili.k, Sept. 11. Among tho cases
called up in tho criminal court yesterday was
that arising out of tho riot which occurred
during a gaino of lmso hall at MoAiloo on

presiding and the Commonwealth is repre
sented by John F. Wlmlcn, Esq. Tho de
fendants aro represented by ex-I)istiict At
torneys Koch and Ityan and Mr. Carlin.
Dining the riot two men named Ward and
Haupt were shot and seriously wounded. It
is alleged that one Alex. Oliver tired the first
siiot and some witnesses say as many as live
hundred were discharged during the riot,
which was caused by trouble between men in
charge of tho baso ball grounds and a cloud,
of intruders. A large number of witnesses
have been subpoenaed and It is not likely
that the eas0 will be concluded before to
morrow. There aro six defendants in addi
tion to Oliver, namely : 1". Vaganda, COokv-s,
F. Viola, James Sbbatlctt and F. and 1'.
llruna.
Among tho bills handed down by thoGrand
Jury aro indictments against Justice M. J.
Lawlor and Detectlvo Mellaril Amour, of
Shenandoah. They are charged with ex
tortion by John Wasser, who alleges that ho
was arrested on a charge of violating tho
liquor laws, but was allowed to settle tho
cuso upon paying money iu excess of the
legitimate costs.
Andrew llyland was tried on a chargo of
f. and b. by Ida Zeibey, of Shenandoah, and
received tho usual sentence. The complaint
in the case was sworn to iu Oc'ober, ls!l.", but
llyland ran away and could not bo found un
til a few weeks ago, when Detective Amour,
of Shenandoah, arrested him in l'hoenlx
ville. Anthony Wisloskey has been indicted for
assault and battery upon Peter (ireenberg.
Tho parties resido in Shenandoah. Tho
prosecutor alleges that Wisloskey walked up
behind and struck him and that there was no
provocation for the act. A true bill has also
been found against Michael Yerkis, of Shen
andoah, for carrying concealed deadly
weapons on oath of Martin Mullahey.
