UNDER the new rules OF the Reuubi-
Can party in this state the time fer its
next state convention is already fixed on
Wednesday, July II. The new Demo
cratic rules allow the state committee,
which will meet next Monday iii Harris
burg, to then fix the time of the state
convention or to postpone its consilera-
ton it desirable. Up to this time we
believe there has been no thought
of settling this matter nov, but, us it has
not been generally known that the Re-
publican date is fixed, when the state
committeeman become acquainted with
this fact they may incline to also fix tie
date for the Democratic convention
This contingency affords additional Iea
s)n why the meeting should be a full
one, and why, if necessary, it should ad
journ from noon until later hour to Sc
cure tie largest possible attendance O1
members of the committee.

The network of telegraph wires about

Mr.. PHILIP G. GARRET, chairman OF
the Committee Of One Hundred OF
Philadelphia, was appointed enc of the
state board Of charities last May by
Gov. Hoyt and his name was sent TO the
Senate for confirmation yesterday.
President II E,ybura and 9 BERTHE -
Adams, one of tic new senator's, who
have been scored by Mr.. Carrots com
mittee, took the floor and antagonized
the confirmation of a man who, as they
allege, in his political conduct toward
his opponents does not exhibit such
charity as BELTS a member Of the state
board. AS it requires thirty-four votes
to confirm they succeeded, besides their
own votes against him, in securing
enough to be withheld from Mr.. Garret
to prevent his confirmation. The gov
ernor says he will send in his name
again.
The failure of Mr.. Carrots confrma-
tion will not materially hurt him, as the
place is one of honor an! responsibility,
not Of profit. And should he never te
confirmed some one of equal fitness can
bc found. But the bitter aGtagOnism
manifested to him by the Stalwarts has
great political significance. Il may be
the edge of the wedge which will keep
apart tie two Republican factions in the
Senate this session.

of the leaIing places. The results were
generally satisfactory tedious rs was
the process, the members all felt that
they had a hand in the work. Tie
balance of the selections were let
out to q slate committee with the
result that its report gives general
dissatisfaction, u notable feature Of it
being that Bucks county, which got u
member on the" slate committee - after
it had been amply provided for by the
caucus, slides in two other representa-
tives for subordinate positions and leaves
the large delegations from Crawford,

While these scenes were being cnactyd
Oh the Broadway side of the burning

flames had started on the opposite side of

that the poor girls awoke only to find
that all means of escape had been cut off.
AS tie terrible roar and cracking OF the

panic stricken and one after another eight
OF them jumped from the dizzy height OF
six stories to the alley below. A jumping
caavass had teen spread for them, hat It
was poweiless in this terrible conflict with
death, and soon was completely c'o-ted

dragged the helpless and almost wild
creatures through the window until fully

ladder while her rescuer held on to her by
the ankles. iithis time the crowd below
