can be discerned to throw the convention
into any ones hands. In truth. there
seems to be no ambition which moves any
clique to mount q horse which might
throw them.
1t would be grave mistake, however,
to accept as the real and definite current
of the convention the outer look and as
pect of this incOherent, amorphous, aim

knots for the last twelve hours without
fastening on anything. The increased num-
Der OF unknown men which the new appor-
tionment has brought here has only set q
wider screen before the real leaders it has
lessened their power -.
y Hsnsel st WORK..
All day Chairman Hensel has been
shaking hands with from two to ten men
at once, and spreading his cordial smile
over delegates by the score. All the work
of stating delegates and distributing tick
cts, of setting in motion the machinery
and organization of the convention, has
gone on oiled wheels by his direction,
without jar or disturbance. Less confu-
sion at larger convention have never
seen.

a boss of the burly, good natured type,
here this time with more devotion than
delegates, have all been conspicuous in
the chairman's room. There are other
men in and out of the state committee
headquarters, but through the afternoon
these men have been the core and centre
of the groups there and they have at once
the skill and the power to lead safely
where no one is able to drive. If other
leaders arc absent or inactive, it is neither
for lack of friends in the convention OF
power out of it.

AN UNBOSsED CUNvENTION.

No Candidate Showing Up to the 'front.'
Fixing Up the Platform.
j. II. LIS. Dispatch to the Times.
The one apparent thing tonight is that
this is any body g convention. At the same
time no one seems to want it. Not in my
experience have seen so little interest
manifested on the day before leading
party gathering as has been apparent here
all day. The list of those who were
originally named for places on the ticket
has greatly narrowed during the past
twelve hours. While there are still remain
ing several who would be made happy by
q nomination, a number of those who
would be credit to the ticket have taken
great pains to deny that they are in any
sense candidates. Some who came here
for the purpose OF working themselves for
ward, ii possible, early saw the depression
which hangs over the party and hastened
from under in a great hurry. No life
whatever was shown until late tonight
and more interest is manifested in the
matter of giving expression to the party
principles than in tho ticket, which not
one Democrat in dozen has the remotest
hope of elecSing.
No Attempt at Bossing.
Nobody cares about doing any bossing.
Wallace went away this morning to Allan
tic City, and Senator Coke, Of Luzerne
has gone homo. Neither will return until
the conveption is fairly through with its
work. Cassidy is not seen about where
Democrats congregate. and he says he
doesn't know what is going to be done :;
that the administration merely wants
creditable ticket tnOminated-onet that shall
command confidence Gordon has ap-
peared very little among the delegates and
has uniformly declined to give any
opinions. He is firm in tho assertion that
the administration has no hand in tho
convention aud will not undertake to
direct its work. Ex-Speaker Randall, who
came at noon, does not talk about candi.
dates. His only interest is to see that the
party is fairly true to itself on the subject
Of The tariff and other deliverances which
moves about among the people in the hotel
lobbies, but has little to say.
The Platform.
Several drafts of platform have been
made, all of which will go before the COM
mittee on resolutions to be reconciled.

Last evening when the Harrisburg ex.

depot several Of the passengers jumped
from the train and went into Sides restau

some of them were in the restaurant and
they ran to catch it. One of their number

against, one Of the wheels Of the moving

THE NIGHT BEFORE.
Quiet ali Along tho Line.

Quiet ali long tho Line.
Press Dispatch.
Tuesday night the convention is without
form and void. Ono old stager, when he
reached the hotels, looked at the clear
registers, gazed abnut tho vacant CORR
ders, and anxiousiy asked the day of the
week, thinking he must have reached the
scene ahead of time. There is no collected
enthusiasm, it is all scattered among
country delegations and is, indeed, mainly
confined TO the aspiring delegates who
have not been sharp enough to withdra "
from contest which can only put them
in the position Of ninepins, to bo bowled
down by ths Republican majority.
Tho only crowded scene to night was
tho meeting of the state central committee
who were packed into the diminutivo room
of the local Democratic club. The state
committee voted in the main not to violate
precedent. Several of the candidates
had asked Chairman Hensel to suggest
that the committee recommend to the
convention name for it's temporary chair
man, but this, after brief and dull discus
sion, was voted down. Another PROPOSE
tion to choose the convention committees
upon resolutions and credentials by con-
gressional districts, was also defeated, and
the committee will be named as heretofore
by senatorial districts.
Voting by Counties.
One change, however, the committee
did make which promises to save hours of
time in tho balloting at Tie convention.
1t was voted almost without Opposition
that the roll should be called By counties
instead of alphabetically, as has always
been the tedious process.
Chairman Hensel presided at tho coa.-
mittee meeting with decisive euergy, and
there seemed evsry disposition to ac.
quiescs in his wishes SO far as he indicated
them.
Candidates are, so far, almost as thick
as delegates. As one delegation after
another strolls in, it becomes moro and
moro evident that the majority of to
morrow's gathering are mere cattle, to he
driven as few men shall direct. by means
of lieutenants of local influence.
Nevertheless. any such machinery, if il
Is put in use in the convention, will bc
born of the hour and thrown into gear
more by the demands of the moment aud
the power of personal acquaintance than
by any previous construction. No attempt

Powder Mill Explosion.
York Daily.

Yesterday between II and 12 O'Clock
persons residing in the vicinity of Winters
town were startled by terrible explosion
which shook tho earth and was heard for
several miles. The shock was caused by
the blowing up of the York powder mill
located in that vicinity. The mill, which
was entirely destroyed, was shattered into
splinters and scattered to tho four winds
of heaven. No one was injured. It is
supposed that the fire commenced in the
mixing room. The loss is not great.

wealth to pay the members for services
which they do not render. They were
called together for a specific purpose, and
to perform duty that the constitution
clearly imposed upon them, and which
they had failed to perform at the regular
session. They were not called together
to deliberate as to whether or no they
should apportion the state; nor to de-
termine that they would not apportion
it. That was entirely outside of the
duty they were to perform. That was to
make the apportionments. Until these
are made their duty is not done. Ihey
cannot adjourn until it is done. They
cannot be paid until it is done. The cali
which assembled them, they will remem'
Der, did not include an invitation to
them to appropriate the money for their
salaries. The clerks got nothing for the
extra session, and the members so far
have earned nothing, so that to the state
it is a very cheap exhibition it is getting
of the lack of wisdom IN its Legislature.

A New York Tribune correspondent
describes the walters at the Yellowstone
Park hotels in this way: The men who
wait on tables have never done similar
service before. They are taken from
the stables, from the saWmill, from the
mines, from God knows where, and
they seem to perform their work with a
reluctance only equalled by the freedom
Of their manners and the inconvention-
atty of their speech. They are easily
offended, it seems, and are quick to re-
sent any insult, fancied or otherwise, to
their sense Of manhood. Such, certain
ly, was the experience of one of u
friends, q peace-loving, inofensive
Dutch merchant in the Indian trade,
who happened to arouse, in a very
curious manner, the wrath of n of the
gentlemen in waiting. He had been
seated at the table fifteen or twenty min
utes, patiently waiting for some n to

lated in front Of him, in order to reach
some dessert which lay hidden under

on the floor at his side, ate his pudding

peace with all the world. At this crit
ical moment the waiter arrived upon the
scene. You ought to have seen the an
ger and disgust depicted in his face as
he beheld the plates at his feet. The
foreigners who saw him, | dare say, full
ly expected him then and there to draw
a revolver from his pocket and avenge
the indignity offered to his person in
the blood Of the poor Hollander, who
was just then enjoyinga quiet smoke on
the piazza outside, little suspecting the
storm be had raised within, The wait
er generously forbore to do anything

tering in a snarling tone, loud enough

The Language Of W1nks.

In those North American states in
which the sale of alcoholic liquors is
BY law forbidden, the chemists anddrug-
gists who keep spirits ostensibly for
medicinal purposes sell large quantities
of then1 to people who are suffering from
nothing more serious than thirst. This
kind Of trade has, however, to be con-
Quoted with many precautions, and in
some districts elaborate codes Of signals
have been invented to enable customers
to privately make known their illicit de-
sires to the storekeepers. In Saltwater,
Minnesota, for instance. To wink once
is to ask for soda and rye whiskey to
wink twice and smack the lips is to de-
mand half a tuInbler of Jamaica rum /;
Ito stand with the forefinger and thumb
'in the waist coat pocket and ask mildly
forbanana syrupi is to convey hint that
Bginger brandy would be gratefully re-
Iceived: to wink twice and jerk the
thumb over the left shoulder implies
THAT gins is the liquor required; and
when q customer transfers his quid
bf tobacco from his mouth to his left
hand the chemist at once prepares q
hand made sour mash. And, although
the list of American driaks is a long
one, the saltwater code is so.complete
that it even enables the thirsty soul to
signal whether he prefers much or little
lemonade in his cocktail.-St James

Enoch Arden's True Story.

When Enoch Arden came home after
that memorable and disastrous voyage,
which shipwrecked him and hopes, he
walked up to his old home, as Tenny-
son informs us, and looked in the VIM
dow. There he saw Philip Ray and
Anna, his wife, and their child all seat
ed around the hearth cracking wal
nuts.
The whole bitter truth came upon him
with terrible force. Annie, supposing
Enoch to be dead, had married Philip,
50. as to have q home for herself and
child and a man about the house in case
of tramps. It was a sad coming back
for Enoch and he was mad about it.
Not so much because Philip had mar
ried his wife, for there were plenty
more wives to be had; not because his
child had learned to call another
man "pa," though that was a Otter pill,
insomuch as the child looked a little
like Philip anyhow.
Neither of these things worried him
half SO much as to note that Philip was
wearing his (Enoch's) clothes. With a
menacing gesture Enoch was about to
dash into the house and annihilate them
| when suddenly the anger in his coun-
tenance was supplanted by a look Of ter
ror, and he left as silently as he had
| come. He had caught sight of Annie's
| mother, who during Enoch's absence
had broken up housekeeping and come
over to live with her daughter, and had
become a fixture there.
Enoch told some of the boys after
wards that it was the narrowest escape
| of his life, and that he would rather be
shipWrecked every five minutes than to
| encounter his mother-in-law.
