Though an official denial will be forthcoming. It 1ms leak ed out from official circles In sucli a manner as leaves no room -for doubt that there was a deliberate and deter mined plot against Emperor Nlcholus at the time of his recent visit to this city. Its success was only frustrated by accident. Several weeks before the arrival of the Imperial party a number of per sons supposed to belong to the German Socialist party undermined Norvy Svlat, the principal street In Warsaw, between the governor general's palace and the royal castle. As the tunnel, which had been under taken from the cellar of a beer house, approached completion the conspirators became apprehensive of a collapse of the roadway, and called In several Po lish masons to build supports. The ma sons, whose suspicions were aroused, notified the police, and 130 arrests fol lowed. Among those In custody are four dis guised German officers, either on leave or belonging to the landwehr, which had been active in the actual work of tunneling. A number of merchants and manufacturers from the town of Lodzy, Poland, are also implicated. Deeds Kpcordeil. From Kucly F. Jloyor, et ni to Adam K. Ilrown, premisos In Schuylkill Haven.

Owing to the inability ol tlio ferry boats to reach Camtleu on schedule time the train always left lite, tho average detention from this catiBo being upwards ol two minutos. On tlio other hand, you so ran the train that this loss was invariMy made up, the train arriving at Atlantic City always ahead of time, this avorago boing also two minutes, so that tho record shows that for the 58 days the train ran, from July 2 to August 31, the average time consumed on the run by you was 48 minutes, equiva lent to a uniform rate of speed from start to stop of BB miles per hour. 'On 22 days tho train consisted of five oars: on 30 days it was mado up with sis. On no occasion did it fail to arrivo at Atlantic City on time. "This performance, I believe, has not heretofore been oquallod iu the history of railway service cither in this country or abroad.

George Fred Williams, of Dcdham, was yes torday nominated for governor of Mas sachusetts by the Democratic state convention on a platform that square ly endorses that adopted by the na tional convention at Chicago last sum mer. Tho other nominees are: For lieutenant governor, Christopher T. Callahan of Holyoke; state secretary, C. D. Nash of Whitman; attorney gen eral, John A. O'Keefe of Lynn; treas uror and receiver general, T. A. Wat son of Boston; auditor, J. L. Challfoux of Lowell. The convention was so disorderly at timed as almost to require the Inter vention of the police. George Fred Williams was the principal figure In the convention. There was no opposi tion to his nomination for governor, but his Insistence on the turning down of old party leaders who were lukewarm In support of himself and Bryan last fall created a tumult at the outset, be fore permanent organization had been effected. Williams wanted men of his personal choice selected as members of the state committee at large, and over this the contest waged fiercely. It was not nec essarily a Willlams-antl-Williams con troversy, for the free silver advocates plainly had a great majority of the del egates In sympathy with him. But the pride of old party leaders was touched. Their personal reputation and home prestige was at stake, and they pro posed to have the convention accept their pledges of loyalty, and not sub mit to a personal Inquisition as to their sincerity. Congressman Fitzgerald was called to order by the chairman when he branched off on the Dlngley bill and free raw materials, and the congress man refused to be seated. Finally, on motion of Mr. Williams, ho was given five minutes' time. Mr. Williams re sponded.charglng the congressman with Inactivity during the last campaign and disloyalty to the Chicago platform. Finally the tumult subsided and the work of the convention was proceeded with. Pheasant, Quail and Rabbits. 15th OCTOBER. Everything; New and Stylish. SUITS! SUITS!! SUITS!!!

There is a foolish, harmful notion among many elderly persous about tho "inequitable feebleness of old age." They make a serious mistake in thinking their rheumatism or their failure in strencth an effect of old age lustead of the sluggish circulation, impure blood and disordered nerves that aro bo quickly remedied by Paine's celery compound. Col. Frank G. Noyes of Nashua, N. II , who was department commander G. A. R In 160:). made no such mistake, and to-day lie is a vigorous man of 00. lie gives his care fully considered estimate of Paine's celery compound in tho following letter : Gentlemen Several months ago a friend gave mo a bottle of Paino's celery compouud Cor my personal uso. I was not then, and had not for somo time prior, been in my cus tomary vigor.

A thoroughly worn-out, "uustrung" ner vous condition, brought ou by months, If not years, of heedless living, depends for renewed health on purified blood, regulated nerves, sound sleep aud perfect assimilation of food this is what Paine's celery compouud never fails to do. Cities and towns are full of men and women, back from their vacations, who feol even more discouraged than when they ret out, bocauso they find themselves slipping back to their old, sleepless, languid, nervous condition. Sitting in tho sun is a good thing as far as it goes; but there is a world-wide difference between tho sun-burned countei felt hppcarance of health and tho real puri fying of the blood, and tho genuine strength ening of the nerves that invariably follows tho uso of Paino's colery compound.
