BURGLARY AT MANHcIM,

A Store Room and Dwelling Robbed
Some time during Tuesday night burg
lars broke into the store room of Danner
& Fox, in the borough of Mannheim aud
robbed it of S6C0 worth OF goods. An on
tranco was effected through second story
window, the burglars climbing in above
the awning. They entered Mr.. Danuer's
sleeping room which communicates with
the store, and approaching his bed took
his pocket-book from his pocket, robbed
it of about 81 in money which it
contained, and replaced the pocket book,
with some valuable papers, in the pocket
from which they had taken it. They then
appear to have descended to the stoI e
room, and stole from the shelves nearly a
dozen pieces of silk and some other valu
able goods. They broke a showcase and
stole therefrom. all the watches, jewelry,
silver and plated ware that was in it. There
were about dozsn watches in the case,
all of which were taken except one which
the thieves dropped and which was found
lying upon the floor. The burglars broke
iDto The blacksmith shop of Mr.. Gipple,
near by. and stole tLerefrom q large chisel,
eighteen inches long and some other tools,
used to break into the premises and force
open the show case. These tools they left
behind them. 49,.
Thus far there has been no clue to the
thieves.

THE WATCH COMPANY.

II Suspends Operations for the Present.
The Lancaster watch factory closed its
doors last evening, and when the employees
went to work this morning they found
Eotices on the doors that the factory would
not be opened, and that they would be
paid in advance Of the usual payday, as
soon as the pay rolls could be made up.
The closing Of the works is said to be
due to the financial embarrassment of Mr..
A. Bitner, the heaviest stockholder in the
company, and the serious illness of his
brother. Mr.. G. A: Bitner, who is the
second heaviest stockholder. Yesterday
Incnt OF his property for the benefit of his
creditors. az stated in yesterdays INTEL
IIGENCER In the afternoon meeting of
the stockholders was held, and after full
discussion it was deemed advisable to close
the works. The company employs about
$50 hands, and the monthly pay roll aver
ages about $1,000. All these hands arc
thrown out of employment, except a few
inspectors and skilled workmen who will
be retained to finish up tho watches
already under way.
We learn from q reliable source, that
tho "plart" of the Lancaster watch com
Jany, though not tho largest, is the most
complete in the United States, and that
the watches manufactured are the best in
the United States or the world. But the
company is q young one, and its manufac
tnrcs are not so we'll known as those of
older factories, hence the company has
been at disadvantage in competing with
oder rivals. Its capital has been absorbed
ia the erection and equipment of the fac
tp:y and the manufacture of great number
@! watches for which there has not been
:. ready sale-the market being dull during
the past year, not only here but all over
the country.
The capital stock of tho company is
$22S, 600, held by IL stockholders, several
of whom have invested in it as much of
their fortune as they feel warranted in
doing, and it will require $50, 00O.or $780,
600 more to set the factory fairly on its feet
ard liberally advertise its manufactures.
Whether this additional sum will be raised
depends on the capitalists If Lancaster.
II it is not, the plant will probably be
removed to some more appreciativc city.
Another meeting OF the stockholders
was held this morning, but no:.defnite pol.
icy was agreed upon as to future action.

BALLOoNING Ar TOLCarsTER.

Interview with an Old Lancaster Aeronaut
We had the pleasure of conversation
with our old townsman, Prof. Charles E..
Wise, to-day, and elected the following
interesting information from him He has
been at summer resort below Baltimore
called colchester Beach, Tin Kent county,
Nd, a Sunday school picnic ground, and an
absolute temperance place, comprising a
wharf landing and two houses, with rich
agricultural country surrounding. He has
been there for seven weeks and in that
time has put up an apparatus
for the manufacture of hydrogen gas
comprising three tanks, one of which
holds 4, 600 gallons, the other two 1000
apiece, and has decomposed 80, 600 gallons
of water by the addition..of 200 carboys Of
vitrol, weighing on an average 10 pounds
each, II tons iron turnings, and from the
product made $50, 600 feet of hydrogene
gas. He has made over 100 ascensions l 900
feet big n at the end OF rope /; taken up
people from all parts Of the country and
made two free ascensiOns, the last Of
which was made on last Wednesday BY his
son John, the youngest aerOnaut in Amer
lea, and Mr.. George Elliott, of Baltimore,
aged 78 years, the oldest man that ever
went up in balloon in the history of the
world-their ages combined being 100
years. and by . singular coincidence that
being the exact age of the aeronautical
science. They were accompanied by Mr..
Anton Duprez, an ambitious young man
of high flying proclivities. The start
was made promptly at five o'clock,
the wind being due south, which
would take them direct down tho
bay. There was almost dead cain, and
the ascent was superb. the band playing
"Nearer My God to Thee, "the pIaudits of
the multitude, and tho majestic flight of
the aerial craft was something unique in
that vast watered and wooded wilderness.
Being far from where such scenes are gen.
orally enacted, it left an impression which
will never be forgotten. The huge craft
gradually mounted skyward until it had
attained an elevation of IL, 5S4 feet, and
temperature of $40, when the aeronauts
thought they had better look for safe
landing. A view taken at this time en-
braced Baltimore, Annapolis, Wilmington,
the Delaware and Chesapeake bays, with
all the islands, inlets and projecting
shores for space of 100 miles around.
They landed 40 miles from the starting
on place known rs Kent's island. Al
together the professor assures us it has
been the most successful baliooniDg that
has ever taken place here or in Europe and
that the company that has him engaged
has never stopped at any expense to make
everything safe and successful

STATE CONVENTION.


for State Tfeasufer-A Large and
Orderly Convention-R. 4. Wright,
Of Northampton. Temporary
= Chairman-The Result Un-
certain.
pecial Dispatch to the lNTELLIGENcER.
HARRISBURG, Aug. 1.-Precisely at 10
O'Clock Chairman Hensel called tho con-
vention to order and read the list of pre-
liminary officers agreed on by the state
committee at its meeting last night. He
invoked the forbearance of the convention
in the matter of inaccuracies in the pre-.
liminary work and ordered the roll call to
proceed. When Wyoming county was
reached the delegates offered to substitute
L. w. Buck, of Bradford county. Chair
man Hensel asked if Mr.. Buck lived in
Wyoming, and receiving negative ans
wer, decided that no substitute could be
made unless he resided in the district rep.
resented by the absent delegate. Senator
Homer J. Humcs, at the conclusion of tue
roll call, nominated r. E. Wright, jr., of
Allentown, for temporary chairman.
RE. James, of Northampton, moved that
he be elected by reclamation, which was
agreed to. The chair named Senator
Humes and Jno. H. FOw to conduct the
temporary chairman to the chair, and on
assuming the gavel Mr.. Wright made
ringing speech. The preliminary officers
were continued during the temporary
organization.
Preliminary Work.
Senator Biddis moved that the rules Of
the Pennsylvania House of Representa-
tives govern the convention, which was
agreed to and Senator Hess moved that
committees on credentials, organization
and resolutions be named and that all
resolutions be referred to the committee
on resolutions without debate, which was
likewise adopted. A motion to take re-
cess was amended, making the hour of
reassembling at one p. m. The amend.
ment was rejected by division vote of
It's to 17S, and the original motion agreed
to.
McGrann Prominent for State Treasurer.
There is no certainty as to tho result Of
the afternoon session. The treasury nomi-
nation lies between Powell, MacReynolds
and McGrann. There seems to be a drift
in favor of Powell now, but tho least
swerve is likely to divert it to McGranp,
and the indications point to that result.
whitman and BIeler Leading for Auditor
General.
For auditor general Turny is out Of the
field and the issue seems to lie between
Whitman, of Erie, and Bigler, of Clear
field. Bigler is here and says he "dOesn't
want it," and Whitman is away
and doesn't want it, but there arc point
ers that indicate that one or the
other will ba chosen. A boom was started
for Stranahan, of Mercer, but his record
on the liquor question seems to interfere
to his injury. It is almost certain that tho
convention will declare against sumptuary
laws and StranahaD's record in tho Legis-
ture and out of it would come il conflict
with such platform.
Tho ltesul1 Uncertain.
Nobody has the convention at this time,
and this afternoon will show free for all
contest that will be rs fair as it promises
to prove uncertain.

For two months In the year Henry Ward
Beecher can't preach. In August and Septem.
Der he takes hts vacation and endures the
onset of the hay fever. And 1t is so he says,
something terrible and tremendous. man
with hay fever isn't accountable tor his ac-
tions. He is merely q wild beast-frantfc with
snuffing. sneezing and headache. His eyes
are red and so Is his nose. Every nerve In his
skull thrills with distress and his head is a
fountain of tears. He lives only to fly from
seaside to mountain-top in search OF relief.
And yet, whether we call this form of Ca
tarrh hay fever, rose-fever, hay cold or rose
cold, Ely's Cream Balm will cure 1t. This re.
medy is simple, pleasant and easy OF applica-

soothes the affected parts at once, restores

cannot run away hay fever, but you can drive
