j. NJ. c. Rank, esq, Of Scranton, is

date for Congress in that district.
A young man named John Long, of
Shamokin, 1S years old, died very sudden
ly Wednesday afternoon in Mt. Carmel
shaft after finishing his days work, while
walking to the bottom of the air shaft.
Luke Kane and John Tully, jr., got
drunk and paid a visit to the house of
John Schmidt, near Olean, in the oil re-
gions. The family had retired and the
men awakened them. Kane made an at
tack on Schmidt and was beating him Sc
verely, when Schmidt's son picked up a
musket and shot Kane dead.
Godfrey Ansel, wealthy farmer of
Beaver township, Clarion county, went to
Edenburg on Wednesday during the day
and managed to get very drunk. At night
he started for home, about two miles dis
tant. On the way he stopped at the house
of his son David and began to break some
farming utensils with sledge hammer
David who was in bed, got up and dressed
and tried to quiet his father. He took his
arm and proceeded to lead him home.
They had gone but short distance when
the father drew a pocket knife with blade
five inches long and plunged the blade
into his sons side. The son died and the
father was arrested. His age is 65 years.

The CandidafeS.

The state convention was very happy
in its choice of state officers. In the
moro exciting matters that claimed its
attention there was little opportunity to
press the claims of candidates for these
positions, although in fact the filling Of
them was the most important work the
convention had to do. Who shall rep
resent us at Cincinnati is Of much less
consequence than to secure good judge
on the supreme bench. There was, how.
ever, no scramble for this position, and
in view of the result it may be considered
to be fortunate thing that the zeal Of
the delegates was engaged in the contest
over the delegates to the convention. If
they had nothing else but the state offices
to fill the struggle for them would
possibly have resulted in filling them
with poor material. The nomination for
judge came to Mr.. jerks unsolicited and
solely because of his recognized ability.
He established national reputation as
a lawyer by his argument before the cleo
toral commission, which was notable for
its strength, precision and eloquence.
Mr.. jerks had served in but one
Congress, but in that brief time estab-
lished such a reputation among his asso-
ciates as to he chosen as one to argue the
case of the Democratic candidate for
president and he abundantly justified the
confidence reposed in him. There is no
question on any hand as to his eminent
fitness to fill the place he has now been
made a candidate for, and it is with
great pleasure that we enter the political
battle of the year with so undOubtcd a
claim to the suffrage of the people.
Col. Dechert is Il worthy associate fer
his distinguished colleague. There would
have been no mistake made, whoever o.
the two candidates had been chosen for
auditor general. Mr.. Herrick would
have been perfectly unexceptionable and
was only defeated by the exceptional
popularity of Col. Dechert with the
Philadelphia delegates, all factions of
whom rallied to his support. He has long
been prominent in the politics of the state,
though he is not yet thirty-eight years
old. He was soldier all through the
war, and on the strength of his record
was sent to the state Senate ten years
ago. For a number of years he was the
assistant of the district attorney of Phil
adelphia, and in every place he has &C.
cupied he has acquitted himself credit
ably, and has always had the esteem of a
very large number of friends and ac,
quaintances well merited by his good sense
and urbanity. He has always borne him
self as a gentleman, which is a very
great deal to say of one who goes down
into the struggles of Philadelphia poll
tics, in which it is as hard to mingle and
be clean as to touch pitch and not he de-
filed. But there has never been stair
on Bob Dechert, and he appears before
the people of the state us candidate fol
the important Office of auditor general
with Il record for integrity that is fire
proof.

planters last year made net profit of 800

In the makeup" o. the Philadelphia
troubles Sam Josephs and Bill McMullin
should not have been made delegates TO
Cincinnati. Better men should have been
put to the front. But from the showing
of SCARED faces and bullet-headed heelers
in both Philadelphia delegations to tt Q
convention it must be inferred that the
Philadelphia Democracy has large share
of them, and that they demand representa-

THE BANKERS DAUGHTER
Who Has Had Two Encounters With
Thieves.

Thieves
As Miss Flora Doty, youngest daughter
of Leonidas Doty, the wealthy banker of
Buffalo, N. Y, who lives in Delaware
avenue, was walking along that avenue,
near Tupper street, she saw a well dressed
young man approaching her. Miss Doty
carried we'll filled purse in her hand, one
of the fashionable pattern, suspended from
a handle. As the two were about to pas
each other, the young man seized the purse
and attempted to jerk it from her hand.
Miss Doty was plucky, and instead of sur
rendering her purse she clung tenaciously
to the handle. The young man also held
on, and in attempting to wrest the purse
from her hand, Miss Doty was oughly
handled and the pnrse was forced open,
allowing the bank notes and silver to fall
upon the flagstones. The bold thief then
released his hold and darted through Tup-
per street, and was soon lost to sight. He
escaped.
Miss Doty had a similar experience in
New York several years ago while in
company with her mother and her sister.
Mrs. Westervelt. of New York. The ladies
We're walking in 21st street, near Gramercy
park, when two men came up behind
them. Mrs. Doty was next to the fence.
and all were engaged in conversation. The
two men passed the ladies, one on either
side, and as one passed Mrs. Doty he seized
her watch chain, gave it yank, and
darted away. The chain was broken from
the fastening at the neck and at the
watch in the belt. The charms and
parts of the chain jingled on the side
walk. The action of the bold thief was
seen by Miss Doty, and as he darted away
she gave chase. The thief ran fast, but
Miss Doty was equally fleet, and she kept
him in sight for about two squares. Then
the villain leaped into sewer trench
where men were at work, and, seizing a
shovel began work as though he belonged
there. Miss Doty called policeman who
was passing, told him the story and iden-
titled the thief. He and his acomplce
were arrested and arraigned in the Jeffer-
son market police count. Both men were
tried, the robber getting twenty years and
the accomplice ten years in the state pris-
on. 1t was plucky thing for Miss Doty
to do and for time gave her much an
sought nOtOriety.

THAT board of pardons has been itch
ing for an excuse to pardon Kemble and
his fellows, and finds it in the declara-
tiOn that the court overstepped its au-
thority in sending them to the peniten-
tiary for a year. To stop SO great wrong
the board recommends their pardon be-
fore they get to the penitentiary, and
when they have had but ten days of the
Harrisburg Jail. AS Attorney Genera
Palmer is under surgical treatment
in Wilkesbarre, the action of the
board must have been taken without
his presence, though it is impossible to
conceive that it would venture to release
these men on legal quibble, without
the sanction of the attorney general. We
presume therefore that he has given it.
1t is great shame that justice should
be SO mOcked as it has been in this re-
lease. Our state was receiving applause
all over the country for the Just treat
ment of these criminals and 10 now we
are once more a laughing stock.

With knowledge of their defeat at the

the presidential canvass at stake, and with
the warning lessons of Democratic discOrd

which will give them an opportunity to

would be able to give the electaral vote o;

be selected at Cincinnati he showed the

EVERYBODY seems to be in favor Of
continuing the two-thirds rule, to the end
that no Democrat shall be nominated for
president who has the unending opposition
of a third of it's representatives.
The Democratic nominee for supreme
judge began life at a carpenters bench,
but when he appeared with the most emil

electoral commission it was admitted that
he made the best speech of them all.
The Cincinnati Gazette, a Republican
organ with status, slaps Blaine and Grant
both in the face with the icy assurance
that q no third termer or railroad .jobbcr''
will answer as a Republican candidate in
that state, should the Democrats nominate
Henry B. Payne for president.
