The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1879-07-04

At this iunctme Col Linton offered a
resolution providing that in the event of a
nomination not being made by the hour of
O'Clock the convention should then adjourn
sine die. This was amended by Delegate
Ward by substituting 6 O'Clock for O'Clock,
and in that shape the resolution was passed.
The following resolution, offered by Dele
gate Ward, was then adopted, and an inter
mission of one hour taken:
Resolred. That il is the sense Of this Convention
that in order 70 promote harmony and good feel
ing in the ranks of the Democracy Of the county.
that the several candidates for the nomination for
Sheriff should release their respective delegates
from further allegiance to them. and permit them
10 vote to them may seem best: and that. upon
a failure by the candidate to do SO within one
hour from the passage of this resolution. the Con
vcntOn viii take it upon itself TO break the dead
lock and act independent of the whim or caprice Of
auy set of men.
The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1879-07-04

At 40 O'Clock, after some more balloting
which, as usual, promised nothing final, a
motion prevailed that all parties he elected
from the Courtroom excepting delegates and
representations of the press. The outsiders
squealed loudly when they discovered that
their room was preferred to their company,
but they were obliged to retire, the door be
ing locked after them and Deputy Sheriff
Shoemaker taking charge of the key.
At 4.4O o'clock, a resolution was pressed
to a successful vote that beginning with the
73d ballot, the name of the lowest candidate
should be dropped from the list. But the
result of the very next ballot showed plainly
that such rule would not and could not be
made to work.
Subioined is the result of the four final
ba IlotS IA ken
The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1879-07-04

The hour of O'Clock had now arrived,
when, on motion of Delegate Hannah, the
question was taken into consideration
whether it would not be advisable to sink
the Sheriff business for the time being and
proceed to the nomination of Poor House
Director This motion was misunderstood
by Mr. KirbyS delegates to ne an attempted
application of what is commonly known as
the gag law to the vital issue of Sheriff,
and they withdrew in body, followed in
few moments afterward by the rest of the
convention.
On motion. the convention adjourned sine
die, after the longest and most exciting series
of sessions that the political history of Cam
bria county can produce.
The precise hour of adjournment was 300
O'Clock The delegates had remained in
session u hours. or thereabout, and had ac-
compliShed nothing.
1t will be noticed by the result of the final
ballot that all the delegates were in their
seats and voted
Another convention must as consequence
be called to transact unfinished business.

it could possibly have no pltrr-pUsS political

ICIDE At IASCASTER.-A gentleman well
known in this community, where he was
raised and for many years resided, and
whose mother, two brothers and a sister
still live in our midst, attempted to commit
suicide in Lancaster city on Wednesday
night of last week, but escaped the horrible
death he sought for through his own evident
lack of knowledge as to the dose necessary
to produce such result The Lancaster
Examiner, speaking of the would suicide
and his abortive attempt in that direction,
says:
He was Of melancholy disposition. asSociGting
with very few Of the bOarders (at the City Hotel.
wherc he was stoppins-Ed. FREENAN), and from
his manner and actions those who saw him ire
qucntly of the opinion that he was addicted
to the use OF opium. On Wednesday night he re-
tired to his room at the usual time. and nothing
unusually strange noticed in his actions.
Thursday morning. however. he did not make his
appearance and Captain Power, the proprietor Of
the hotel. suspcctlu2 that something WAS wrong.
entered his room and found him lying on his bed
in an unconscious condition. Physicians were sent
for. who gave their opinion that the man had
taken poison of kind, but in overdose
thereby acting cmctic and saving his life
His sister was telcgrapned for and arrived 1t an
early hour Friday morning and l. now attending
to him. During Thursday nc was in Scmi-uncun

Az oriental traveller describes this busy
scene, witnessed on historic shores "Our
steamer landed on a beach which was the
port of Antioch, where the disciples were
first called Christians. There was no town
at the waters edge, no people, no wharf.
The passengers and merchandise were put
ashore in lighters which ranup into the sand.
\ troop of camels, with their drivers, lay on
the beach ready to transfer the goods into
the interior. Amongthe articles landed were
boxes marked DIR. J. c. AVER & Co. Low

contained medicines and whence they came.
These with other goods We're hOisted on the

remedies to heal the maladies Of populations
that inhabit those Eastern shores, whence
our spiritual mamma came. - HipdsDr (Tt)
