Last ovoning three young men entered tlio taloon of William Kouclorius, on East Centra street, and woro served with drinks. Kon cierlus was under the influeuco of drink and went Into a back room to sleep, leavlug a boy behind tho bar to wait on customers. One of tlio visitors subsequently tried to awaken him, but failed, and later another of tho visitors went to tho upper apartments of tho house. Shortly after Mrs. Koncierius, who had been nsleep up stairs, gave an alarm and tlio three young men hurriedly left thoplaco. Mrs, Kouciorlus oxplained that she had awakenod In timo to see n man aoarching tho pockets of her dresses in tho bed room.

Yesterday Governor Hastings refused tho favorahlo consideration of a final appeal for tho granting of a respite, made by Eckort's counsel on the plea that tho prisoner's weak mental condition was responsible for tho act committed by him. Eckert has right along been hoping against hopo that the Governor would again grant a stay of execution, and could not bo brought to beliove that fortuno would fail him. Last night, liowevor, the worst was mado known to him, when ho was informed that tbo Gov ernor refused to interfere, and this morning ho was found in ft dying condition from the effects of the poison. Last night Eckert bid a final adieu to his wife and children. It was a pathetic scene. Advance In l'utent Medlolues.

As representatives of tho peoplo In tho leglslatho branch of their government you have assembled nt a timo when tho strength and excellence of ourVreo Institutions nnd tho fitness of our citizens to enjoy popular rulohao been again made manifest. A po litical contest Involving momentous conse quences, fraught with feverish apprehen sion and crontlng nggresslvenessso intenso ns to approach bitterness nnd passion, Iiih been waged throughput our land nnd de termined by tho decreo of frco and Inde pendent suffrngo, without disturbance of our tranquillity or tlio least sign of weak ness in our national structure. When wo consider theso incidents and contomplato tho peaceful obedience and luunly submission which have succeeded n boated clash of political opinions, wo dis cover abundant evidence of a determina tion on tho part of our countrymou to nbldo by overy verdlot of tlio popular will and to bo controlled at all times by an abiding faith In the ngencios established for the di rection of tho affairs of tholr govemmont At tho outset of a rcferonco to tlio moro Important matters affecting our relations with foreign powers' It would afford mo satisfaction If I could assuro tho congress that tho dlsturbod condition in Asiatlo Turkoy had during tiio past year assumed a loss hideous and bloody aspect, and that olther as n consoqucrico of tho awakening of the Turkish government to the demands of humane civilization or as tho result ot decisive action on the part of tbo groat na tions having tlio right by treaty to inter fere for the protection of those oxposed to tlio rago of mad bigotry and cruol fanati cism tho shocking features of tho situation had been mitigated. Instead, however, of welcoming a softened disposition or pro tective intervention wo havo been nflllctcd by oontlnuod and not infrequent reports of the wanton destruction of homes and tho bloody butchory of men, women nnd chll Urcn, mado martyrs to tholr profession of Christian faith. TIip Situation in Turkey, While none of our citizens In Turkoy lias thus far been killed or woundod, though ofton In tho midst of dreadful Beanos of danger, their safety in tho future Is by no moons assured. Our government at homo and our minister at Constantino ple havo left nothing undono to protect our missionaries In Ottoman territory, who constitute nearly all the Individuals residing there who have a right to claim our protootlon on tho score of American citizenship. Our offorts In this direction will not be relaxed, hut tho deep fooling and sympathy that havo boon aroused among our pooplo ought not to so far blind ihelr reason and judgment as to lead them o demand impossible things. Tho out ircoks of blind fury whloh lead to murder ond plllago In Turkoy occur suddonly and without notice, and an attempt on our part to forco such a hostile presence thcro as might bo cffoctlvo for prevention or pro tection would not only bo resisted by the Ottoman government, but would bo re garded as an Interruption of their plans by tho groat nations who assert tholr exoluslve right to lntorvono In their own time and method for tho socurlty of llfo nnd property In Turkoy. Several naval vessels aro stationed In tho Mediterranean as a measure of caution and to furnish all pbsslblo relief and rofugo In ease of emergonoy. Wo hnvo made claims against the Turk ish government for tho pillage and destruc tion of missionary property at Khnrpiit nnd Marash during uprisings ut those places. Tints far tlio validity ot theso demands has not boon admitted, though our minister, prior to such outrages and In autloipatlou of dangor, domanded protection for the porsons and property of our missionary citizens lu tho localities montloned and notwithstanding that strong ovldcnco ex ists of actual complicity of Turkish sol diers m tlio work ot destruction and rob bery, Tho facts as thoy now appear do not per mit us to doubt tho Justlco of those claims, and nothing will boomlttud to bring about tholr prompt scttlomcnt. A numbor of Armenian refugees having arrived at our ports an order has lately boon obtained from tho Turkish govern ment permitting tho wives and children of such refugees to join them hero, it Is hopca that hereafter no obstaclowill be in terposed to provont the escapo of all thoso who seek to avoid tho perils which threaten thou) in Turkish dominions, Our reoently appointed consul to Erzo rum Is at his post and discharging tlio duties of his olHco, though for some unac countable reason his formal exequatur from tho sultan lias not been Issued. I do not bolleve that the present nomboi prospect In Turkey will bo long permitted to offend tho sight of Christendom. It ho mors thohumano aud onllghtcned civiliza tion that belongs to the close of tho nine teenth contury that It seems hnrdly possi ble that tho earnest demand of good pooplo throughout the Christian world for its cor rective treatment will remain unanswered.

That Hon. lluies Penrose, ot Philadelphia, is tho cholio of tho Jieoplo of Schuylkill county for flitted States Senator, is mado more apparent as tho time fur the election of a successor to J.

This strong endorsement, preceded by tho resolutious of tho V nitod Miuo Workers of America condemnatory of John Wauamaker for importing contract labor, in violation of tho law, is sulllcient proof that the sentiment of the people of this county is against tho candidacy of tlio Philadelphia merchant priuco and strongly in favor of Penroso as an Ideal and able representative. Petitions aro being circulated throughout tho county and Humorously signed in the interest of Penroso. Soveral of tliom are being circulated in this town, and the hearty manner in which tliuy aro being signed is sulllcient to verify thestatemontmndohy tho IIkiui.d that tho Republicans of Shenan doah are almost unanimously in favor of tho selection of Penrose as tho next United States Senator. r The Primitive Method.rn Tree of E' CEREMONIES FOLLOV Rev.
