i'ottsville. Sept. IB, 16US.
TI10 Republican county convention was
held hero In Union hall this morning, to
placo in noiniiiKtion candidates for Judge,
Congress, District Attorney, Controller, Poor
Director, Coroner ami Surveyor,
The preliminaries were of a marked char
acter, row delegates arrived horo last night,
ninety por cent, of them putting In appear
aiico this uiumlng, while homo arrived as
late us an hour heforo the opening of the
convention, nt 10 o'clock. The candidates
opened their heudciuaileis last night. Frank
Scanlan und I)r W. N. Stein, the Sheuan
doah eandidates for Poor Director and
Coroner, respectively, held foithiu adjoining
rooms at the Mcichants' hotel, at which placo
were also the headquarters of the
County Chairman. Here too, just
across the corridor Irom Chairman Shay's
rooms, Charles A. Snyder met his friends
and extouded the glad hand to the delegates.
Dr. Hnckor, Charles Shindel and William
Carter had looms in Coogau'scafe, while John
Edwards, of Ashland, mid John W. lie finer
woro at the Exchange Poor Director
Mlddlcton, had no headquarters, hut was ac
tive all over. Neither Judge Koch nor
David ('. Helming, the two judicial candi
dates, opened "reception rooms," hut hoth
weru in consultation with the leadeis of their
respective factions.
The indications at one time last evening
pointed to nn interesting convention. Mr.
Uruiiiin was in frequent consultation in an
endeavor to dictate tho orgar-izatiou of the
convention, especially tho chairmanship.
The friends of I.osch and Snyder weio just
as determined that hu should not do so, and
in this they weio btrongly supported hv
Judge Koch. The latter was in
consultation witli the anti-Ilriimm
people at a lato hour last night,
and His Honoi gave tho Mincrsville
(statesman to understand that ho would not
ho allowed to dictate, and used emphatic
language- in demonstrating what would hap
pen if ISiinnm insisted upon naming tho
chairman. Judge Koch was highly com
moiided upon his manly stand, otoii by the
Drumni people.
Mr. Brumm divided his time between his
own onicca and ,tbo Journal sanctum. His
one fight was tiie defeat of Snyder and tho
nomination of lierger for Controller, al
though lie protended to bo for Shindle. who
cut a very small liguro In the preliminaries.
Tho Congressman had soveral oueounters
duiing the night, in at least one of which ho
got tho worst of it. Ho rushed Into Snyder's
headquarters and demanded from tho ecnlal
Controller a retraction for certain accusa
tions he claimed the latter had made. Hut
before Mr. iiriiniiu retired from tho rooms he
found ho had tho wiong end of tho en
counter. Mr. Uruuim is either losing his
head, or else ho is adverse to a harmonious
party, and success in November for tho entire
ticket.
At least ono tliiug was evident: Mr.
llrumm could easily havo been defeated for
ro-nomination had thoro been a candidato
against him. It did not take a political
prophet to dotcrmino this. Howover, thoro
being no other name presented to tho con
vention, Mr. llrumm folt at liberty to enter
the other contests, which he did with con
slderahlo enorgy.
FIQIIT FOR C1IAIR1IAN,
Tho Brumm people haying assumed the
authority to namo tho chairman of the con
vention, selected Hon. Ellas Davis as their
choice. This did not pleaso tho friends of
Judgo Koch. They had no serious objections
to Davis, but owing to tho fact that tho dele.
gates, by a largo majority wore favorable to
Judge Koch the lattcr's friends very naturally
contended that tho head of the ticket should
be accorded the privilego of naniiuir tho nrn.
siding oflicer, and for that reason selected the
present Couuty Chairman, A. L. Shay. Many
01 mo party leaders endeavored late last
evening and early this morning to net
Mr. Brumm to recedo from his dic
tatorial position, hut all efforts in this
direction were futile The friends of both
sides, up to the hour of the convention, were
activo in lining up their followers for their
respective candidates to presldo over tho con
veution. The Brumm people wero fortuimto
in tho selection of their candidato, as County
Troisurer Davis is very popular among both
tactions.

shadowed all others, and the word was
quiotly passed around by tho Brumm and
Koch leaders requesting their friends to fall
in line. Judge Koch, who considora that h
is not treatod with tho consideration due him
on tho chairmanship yesterday, was at his
olllco early this morning receiving his friends,
and requested that they vote for Shay as thi
presiding otllcer.

Vienna, Sept. 12. The plans for the
funeral of the late Empress Elizabeth,
who was assassinated by an anarchist
on Saturday at Geneva, contemplate
hrlnginR the remains to Vienna next
Thursday, a lylmr-ln-stato on Friday,
and the obsequies of Interment on Sat-t
urday.
The assassin Is I.usgl Lulglnl, a na
tive of Italy and an ex-Italtan soldier.
He had been working as a stono mason
in this vicinity, and last month he took
the preliminary steps to become a
naturalized Swiss. Ills application
papers, however, ho withdrew last
Monday. The Italian records show that
Lulgini was an Illegitimate child and
took his mother's name. He has been
twice arrested as a defaulter from mil
itary service.
Thp foul crime Is said to lie the out
come of an anarchistic conspiracy,
which comprehended the murder of
other sovereigns, Including the emperor
of Austria. The desperado wielded a
three sided file, very slender and sharp,
The weapon Inflicted at one single
blow a mortal wound, the keen Instru
ment piercing the breast of the unfor
tunate victim Just above the heart. In
ternal bleeding onBUed, and after a
priest, who had been hastily sum
moned, had administered extreme unc
tion to the dying woman she expired
in great agony.
The empress hnd been for several
days a guest at Reaurlvage, and was
walking from the hotel when the mur-
THE ANARCHIST'S VICTIM,
derer committed his atrocious crime.
After having been stabbed tho empress
arose and wnllted on boaid the steamer,
where she fell, fainting. The captain
did not wish to put off from the quay,
but did so at the request of tho em
press and her suite, there being no ap
prehenslon that she was seriously hurt.
The steamer was turned bock before
reaching the open lake, and the em
press, unconscious, was carried to tha
hotel on a Btretcher. Doctors and
priests were Immediately summoned,
nnd a telegram was Bent to Emperor
Francis Joseph. Efforts to revive her
majesty were unavailing, and she ex
pired at 3 o'clock.
After striking the blow the assassin
ran nlong the Hue des Alpes, with tho
evident Intention of entering tha
Square des Alpes, but beforo ranching
it ho was seized by two cabmen who
had witnessed the crime. Thev handed
him over to a boatman nnd a gendarme,
who conveyed him to the police sta
tion. Tho prisoner mado no resistance.
He even sang ns he walked along, say
ing: "I did it," and "She must be
dead." At tho police station he de
clared that he was a "starving an
archist, with no hatred for tho poor,
but only for the rich." Throughout
the exnriilnntlon of the assassin his de
meanor was one of revolting cynicism.
He frankly congratulated himself upon
the success of his cilme. He said: "I
am an nnarchlst. but I belong to no
committee. I acted on my own Initia
tive. Let them do as they like with
me. That Is my strength." He added
that he regretted that tho death pen
alty does not exist In the canton where
tho tragedy occurred.
The autopsy on the body of the mur
dered empress took pluce yesterday. It
showed that both the lung and heart
were pierced by tho assassin's dagger.
The examination showed nn almost
imperceptible wound, the Hie having
penetrated the heart and not causing
exterior bleeding.
A file found late Inst evening In the
passage of a house on the Hue des
Alpes has been identified by the as
sassin as the weapon he used,

confirmation that tne murder was part
of an anarchist conspiracy, but a dozen
persons with whom the assassin as
sociated have been arrested for ex
amination. Empress Elizabeth was about return
ing to Caux, Frnnce, when sh was
murdered. Her suite had proceeded
her by train, leaving with her only her
maid of honor, Countess Pzapnry. and
a man servant.
The last words of the empress were
addressed to the attendants on the
steamer. Uncovering consciousness for
the moment, she feebly asked what
had happened.
The emperor s fortitude Is the topic
ot universal udmlrntlon. He Is bearing
up manfully despite the fearful shock,
which, In view of his age, had Inspired
the gravest apprehension. AlthouMi at
first stunned and slightly hysterical,
ha soon regained his self control, and
displayed remarkable calmness. Oc
casionally, however, completely over
powered by his grief, he moaned plt
eously, repeatedly sobbing tho num
of the empress. Addressing I'rlncs Von
Liechtenstein, chief marshal of the Im
perial household, he exclaimed:
"It Is Inconceivable how a man could
lift hlB hand against one who never in
ler life Injured anybody, who did noth
ing but good." Then he moaned:
"Nothing Is spared to me In this
world." He managed to Bleep several
hours Saturday night, and said yester
day he felt comparatively well, dis
couraging the attempts of his attend
ants to display solicitude for his health.
The shock of the news crazed ono of
the court servants, who rushed from
the palace to Duryplatz, shrieking:
"Where Is the murderer of our em
press?" Dispatches of condolence are arriv
ing at the palace from all parts of the
world, testifying to profound horror
and sympathy. Among them are mes
sages from President McKlnley, from
Emperor William and from nearly atl
the European sovereigns.
The Swiss federal council met at
Geneva yesterday morning, and sent
the following telegram to Emperor
Francis Joseph:
"The Swiss fedoral council has the
honor to express to your majesty Its.
profoundest grief and deepest lndlgna.
tlon at tho horrible crime to which her
majesty, Empress Elizabeth, has fallen
victim. Our pain and Indignation are
all the greater owing to the foul crime
having been committed on Swiss ter
ritory, where the departed, as she had
often done before, was seeking recov
ery from bodily sufferings, which re
covery, as on previous occasions, she
had every hope of finding. The coun
cil hastens to assure your majesty, at
the same time, of Its warmest sympa
thy and that of the whole Swiss peo-.
pie In the Irreparable loss your ma
jesty, the imperial house and the peo
ples of Austria and Hungary have suf
fered through your exalted lady'j
death."

Some four years ago when "The Limited
Mail" was first given here. Mine Host Hutch
inson wagered a box of l'erfectas with Agent
C'happollo, that he, tho ageut, was in error
when he claimed hu was dead sure that
Vanco would "pack Ferguson's theatre and
peoplo would bo turned away." Tho com
pany really did turn 'em away, tho receipts
amounting to $tS32.50. Mr. Chappolle en
joyed the cigars all right, and when ho reg
istered at tho Ferguson House on Friday and
announced that Vance was coming and that
the company was to remain a week, "Hutch"
thought he saw a chance to get eveu on that
box of ?S0 cigars. "Opeu for more cigar
bcU," asked tho genial host. "Sure," said
"Cbapp," "A box of tho same sort, that we
turn people away, three nights out of the
six." They shook hands over it wheu At
toruey Coylo remarked, "I'll take half of
that bet; but how Vanco can carry such a big
compauy and stage overy pieco as he is sure
to do aud plays at 10, 20 and 30 cents is a
mystory to me." "What !" interrupted Mr.
Hutchinson; "play at ten, twenty and thirty!
Horo, call up all your friends aud smoke
with mo now; at that prico you'll turn 'em
away evory night bore, put one in your
pocket, you're hotting on a dead certainty."

Grand Jury's Ueport.
Tho Grand Jury reported having passed
upon 1U0 bills of indictment of which 69
ware returned as true bills and 20 as ignored
bills. Of tho latter, tho costs in 12 wore
placed on tlio prosecutors and in four on the
county. The county prison was visitod and
the discipline and mauagemeut were found
good, Somo minor repairs are needed aboat
tho building. Tho Almshouse was also
found in good shape except that the ico house
and slaughter house should be replaced by
new structures. A bettor water sunuly Is
also needed as aro also fire escapes on the
main building. Tho phosphate factory in
North Manhcim township just south of
Pottsvillo is declared a nuisance and should
bo moved further away from tho public road.
Tlio Grand Jury regretted its inability to
deal out costs, and impose tlio same in many
cases upon the Justices of the Peace return

secured to chock it.

THE
Money Question !
Here it's a question of how
much or how little. No matter
how much coin you have, you'll
find it has more purchasing power
with us than elsewhere. It Is tint
because your dollars contain more
metal lor us, but because we are
satisfied with smaller tolls. If we
can't give you a fair equivalent we
don't want your money.
