During the nominations some of the
delegates advocated the selection of their
favorites, on the ground that they would
hold the Irish or German vote. There
was much disorder at times during the
proceedings. The resolutions adopted
advocate revision of the tax and tariff
law, 80 that the revenue shall not ex-
ceed the actual needs Of the Govern
ment, and that the tariff shall give sin.
cidental protection to industries that
promote the general welfare and no pro-
lection to mere monopolies." They
also favor civil Gervice reform; approve
tho veto of the River and Harbor bill;
oppose land grants to railroads; declare
that American citizens should be pro-
tectod abroad, and oppose prohibitory
amendments to State Constitutions.

Marine Disasters.

The steamer Gellert, which arrived at
New York yesterday, reports that on
October 1st at ten O'Clock in the morn
ing, about as miles east of Sable Island
she fell in with the steameS Mount Leb.
anon, from Baltimore for Havre, in a
disabled condition, having lost her pro-
pellor. The Lebanon signalled to be
towed to Halifax, and the Gellert took
her in tow, but gale settingiA, chang.
ed her course to New York. At two
o'clock on the morning O. the I'd the
rope parted and a steel wire hawser
was substituted At 8 o'clock the haw.
scr parted ia a heavy gale, and the Gel
lert, after having towed the Lebanon
10 miles, left that vessel the crew
signalling that they desired to remain
in her. The Lebanon had cargo in
Guiding $4,000 bushels of wheat and 300
bales of cotton.
A derelict two.masted schooner, the
Jennie-or Annie-Fisher, of New

wanted an Understanding. .

AD Illinois merchant who was TAX
ing baking powder in bulk from a Chi.
cago firm called at headquarters the
other day to say that there was some
thing wrong with the goods.
81 don't think so," was the reply /;
I'VE make the best article sold in the
West"
"I think we ought to have a more
perfect Understandings" continued the
dealer.
"Now, then, you adulterate before
you send to me then I adulterate be-
fore l ship and the retailer adulterates
before he sells, and the consumer can't
be blamed for growing. l want to see
if we couldn't agree on some schedule
10 be followed"
"What do you mean ?'
"Why, suppose you put in ten per
cent. of chalk ; then l put in twenty
per cent. of whiting then the retailer
puts in thirty per cent. of flour. That
gives the consumer forty per cent. of
baking powder, and unless he's a born
hog he'll be perfectly satisfied. You
see, if you adulterate fifty per cent. on
the start, and l adulterate as much
more, and the retailer adulterates as
much more as both together, its nigh.
ty hard for the consumer to tell whether
he's investing in baking powder or
putty. We must give him something
for his money, if its only chalk.

AMOdest Suggestion,

If the proud and aud scholarly State
of Massachusetts, which puts 80 much
Latin upon every official State docu-
ment, stamped upon it by its great seal,
would put bottle of Hunts Remedy
on its seal instead, it would be briefer,
and answer every purpose. There is a
vigorous arm with sword striking
Latin blows, and an Indian shooting
Latin arrows. Bat Hunts Remedy
does more than this. 1t strikes blows
in Latin, English, French and German
and in every Language, against the most
insiduous and deadly enemies of the
human frame, and shoots destructive
arrows into disease. 1t specially wages
war against kidney diseases, so com,
mon in our afflicted humanity; and
cures ailments of the kidneys, bladder,
liver, and urinary organs, and brings
health again to the despairing. If
Massachusetts doesn't wish to change
its seal, Hunts Remedy would be a
significant design for the seal of some
new State.

Love, Separation ano Marriage.

! The Baltimore American of Wednes
day says: Grhere il trit0 old saying
that true loVo never did run smooth,
and another that love laughs at lock-
smiths. Both have been proven again
in the romantic tale of love and separa .
tion which was ended yesterday by the
marriage of the two who have acted as
hero and heroine in this story. A more
quiet ceremony than the one that took
place yesterday afternoon, in the resi-.
dence on St. Paul street, could not have
been devised; yet the knowledge of that
impressive service will cause sensation
IN this city, when it is known that last
spring Mr.. Ernaul: II. Williams left
Baltimore on the eve of his marriage
with Miss Lille Hazlitt, daughter of
Jas. Hazlitt, Esq, 100 St. Paul street.
The departure caused many rumors to
be spread abroad, and all sorts of $40.
ries were reported about the affair
Several days after his departure it was
discovered that Mr.. Williams had sailed
for Europe, and before leaving had
made over to his father, Mr.. George
Hawkins Williams, as perpetual trus-
tee, all his property, left MIN by his
grandfather, John s. Cuttings, Esq,
Of this city, only reserving $1,000 per
year for himself. The sudden depart
ure upset all the plans for the wedding,
which was to have taken place in few
days. Miss Hazlitt was prostrated by
the shock, and was i'll for some time.
Soon after his arrival III Europe Mr..
Williams wrote home to the young lady,
telling her that he would return and
marry her and explain all. He kept
his word, and returned to this city last
Sunday. He went directly to Mr..
Hazlitt's house and has been stopping
there. 1t was thought best by the
young couple that the marriage should |
take place at once quietly, and hence |
all the arrangements were quickly |
made, and yesterday afternoon friend |
procured the license At O'Clock a |
few friends of the lady and hor family |
assembled in the parlor to witness the |
ceremony. Rev. DR.. William Kirkus, !
rector Of st. Michael and All Angels p. |
e. Church, st. Paul street extended,
was ready to read the service. Only |
the brides intimate friends were pres.
ent, AID they did not number over half |
a dozen, and they were Mrs. Seers, an
aunt of the bride; Mrs. Dimpfel, great
friend of Miss Hazlitt, and Miss White;
the brides mother, father, sisters and
brother making up the party. The
members of the family of MIR. " illiams
were not present, and it was understood
were opposed to the match. The bride
was dressed in a maroon cloth travel |
ing dress, very simple but elegaot,
while Mr.. Williams wore a walking |
suit OF English make. After the cere-
mony collation. was served, and the
friends heartily congratulated Mr.. and
Mrs. Williams. After the repaRt, they |
left by an afternoon train for Washing
ton, where they will probably spend
their honey moon.

An Honest Domooranc Inspector.

The same trouble neatly occurred
in counting out the Ninth ward vote
on Tuesday night that occurred two
years ago when, Ned" Knight gave
the certificate OF election to the candi.
date that was not elected. There were
found to be nine more votes in the bal
lot box than there " ere names on the
tally list. What to do was a question
and there were not wanting Democrats
who urged throwing out nine Repub'
lican tickets to make it tie and thus
awe the Democratic inspector chance
to give the casting vote and elect
Democrat in true "Ned" knight style.
The inspector however was a different
kind of q man and came to the sensi'
BILE conclusion that if one Republican
inspector could stuff the ballot box
with two Democratic inspectors watch.
ing him, the Republicans were entitled
to the inspector aud issued his certificate
accordingly.

lie uaptureo nDannt.

ALLENTOWN October 4.-This morn
ing, at O'Clock, An old lunatic named
Sch weitzer, took possession of the Le-
high Valley depot at this place and
Eeld it for an hour. He carried an
axe and went behind the counter at the
restaurant. When ordered out he
showed fight and brandished the axe.
A crowd gathered and various expedi-
ents were tried to induce the old man
to leave and surrender the axe He
was full of fire. His eyes flashed and
no one dared approach him. Coaxing
and persuading failed to move him.
They then tried to scare him, but there
was no scare in him. When any one
approached him he raised the axe
threateningly and dehed them.
To frighten him some one pulled ont
a revolver and pointed it at him, but
he only laughed mockingly. He then
entered the ladies' department and the
women fled in terror. Ropes were then
procured and several attempts were
made to laSsO him, but he was too quick
for them aud deXteriously warded off
the rope. A window was then raised
back of the maGmau, aud while his
attention was thus diverted other at
tempts were made TO l&sso him. Be
tween closing the window and grap-
pling with the ropes his back was
turned toward part OF the crowd aud a
man sprang on the counter and pounced
on the old man, throwing him down.
He was promptly disarmed and firmly
bound. After while he became calmer
and later in the morning was removed
to the Almshouse. He is rag picker,
about 20 years old, aud while known to
be weak. minded was rot considered
violent. He had possession of the
depot for full hour and kept fifty men
at bay.
