a CHILD MURDER.
A Little Innocent Babe Drowned by
its Father,

1t is now extensively believed that
the body OF the child found in the OHIO,
At Yellow Creek Station, on the Cleve-
land and Pittsburgh railroad, mention OF
which was made IN these columns some
DAYS ago, is that of Frank Lynch's child.
Frank Is supposed to have thrown his
ms child into the Allegheny river from
the railroad bridge in February las..
Constable James Robinson, of Glendale,
who arrested Lynch, was sent to see tie
BODY to secure evidence to identity 1t
The remains were much decomposed, but
the clothing was preserved and Is found
to exactly correspond with that worn by
the child on the night Lynch admitted
having thrown it into the river. 1t was
hitherto thought that thcre being no
corpus delicih, nothing could be done
with Lynch, but it now looks as though
unless insanity is shown, that ss!tpeter
won't save his bacon.

PHILADELPHIA, May 9.-The Nation
al Convention continued its session till
half past two o'clock this morning, owing
to the bitter discussion of the platform,
and resumed its session and discussion at
ten o'clock to-day, with but little more
than halt the delegates present.
+. w. Hughes made speech, largely
upon the labor question, favoring eight
hours for work and deprecating the en-
ployment of children in factories.
Other speeches followed, but the speak
ers were interrupted frequently, and un-
pleasant expressions exchanged.
F.P. Dewes, Chairman of the State
Central Committee, read q more conser.
vstive platform than that read the night
before, and it was loudly cheered.
Mr.. Guierson, OF Beaver, moved that
it be adopted, when there were loud
cries of mo gag law!" "Hold on"
A delegate from Fayette alluded to the
mob of Luzerne, which brought forty
delegates to their ieet.
Exceptions were taken to that por-
ton of the last platform read which
proposed the party be called the Green
back Labor party instead of the Nation
ais and the vote upon the question to
strike out that portion OF the platform
provoked the liveliest kind of discussion
between the labor aEd green back ele-
ment3 and the speeches all alluded to the
two elements in the convention. The
motion to strike out the Greenback La
Dor party was lost by an overwhelming
vote. The resolution that the convention
condemn any Iawlessness or violence
was adopted.
TIE pL.tforn read this morning waa
also adopted, with few amendments. 1t
may be summarized rs follows:
That the party advocates high pro.
tective tariff; moderate reform IN the
hours of labor, to be regulated by wise
legislsticD opposition to discriminating
monopoles in the carrying trade and the
substitution of the nations money for
bank notes. 1t demands the uncondi-
tional repeal OF the resumption
act and the recognition by Con-
gress of the efforts st internal
improvement and encouragement of ship
building and ocean transportation; dis
avows any countenance Of lawlessness or
violence; advocates the maintenance of
the principles OF the party by the judi
cious use Of the ballot box, and changes
the name of the party from that of
National Labor party TO National Green
back Labor party.
