Delegates Instructed to Work and

publican convention for the Seventh
congressional district was held atSparta
to-day. Two delegates to the national
convention were chosen-L. S. Fisher,
of Sparta, and d. f. Jones, of Richland
Center. Oscar F. Temple was chosen
elector. Resolutions denouncing the
Democratic tariff idea and favoring pro-
lection to American industries were
adopted. The most important resolu-
tion was one eulogizing Gov. Rusk and
directing the delegates to support him
in the convention as a candidate for
president. The governors friends do
not regard this as merely a compli-
mentary vote, they expect the delegates
that he is fully in the field as a candf-
date and expecting the nomination. The
delegates who were willing he should
have a complimentary vote were given

AN AGED SINNER.
He Makes a Successful Attempt
to Break Jail.

LEBANON, Pa, May s.-William
Showers, under sentence of death for
the murder of his two grandchildren,
escaped from the Jail here some time
during last night. His cell was discov-
cred empty between 5 and & o'clock this
morning. He dug a hole through the
solid stone wall and lowered himself
from the opening with a rope made
from pieces of blanket. Showers is
seventy years old, and how he escaped
detection in the town, after his escape
from prison, is a great mystery, as the
city. The aged prisoner must have
been digging at the wall for some
time past. He left behind him two let
tiers, one addressed to his counsel, and
the other bidding defiance to the pc ople
who threatened to lynch him.

JONES INTERVIEWED,
But Information Regarding Blaine
Hard to Get At.

NEW YORK, May S.-Chairman B. F.
Jones, of the Republican national COM
mittee, is at the Windsor hotel. He had
pressing business engagements which
prevented him from giving more than a
few moments to the reporter who called
on him. The time was principally spent
in denial of the reported interview
with him sent out from Pittsburg last
Saturday night in which he was made
to say that Mr.. Blaine could not support
Allison, Sherman or Harrison for the
nomination; that Mr.. Blaine was So
cially friendly to these gentlemen, but
politically they were wide apart. THAT
is language which never passed my
lips" said Mr.. Jones. "The greater
part of the reported i"terview is simply
incorrect. The fact Is that have moth
ing to say about politics."
"Have you received any letter from
Mr.. Blaine since his letter of with
draWal?"
81 have not; neither do know of any
letter from him."
'Will he accept the nomination if it
is rendered to him?'
Il do not know"
"What do you think?"
"Well, what would you do if the
uOulHdUlOu was lcHu6I6u W yOu!
But he has withdrawn as candi-
date.'
"Certaiply he has, but if the conven-
ton should now nominate him that is
quite another thing. That is the action
of the people"
''There is story, Mr. Jones, that in
1884 Walker Blaine brought to YOU and
S. B. Elkins letter from his fatner di-
rected to Senator Conkling, asking his
support, which was left to your discre-
ton to deliver OF not, and that it was
not delivered"
81 never saw or heard of such letter.
1t is story of the same character as
the reports now being spread that Mr..
Blaine has written letter withdrawing
his withdrawal; that he will write let
ter refusing to accept the nomination if
it is rendered to him; that he is very
i'll man, and so on"
Hon. Stephen B. Elllins was inter-
viewed in regard to the same letter and
said: mo such letter was ever written
and no letter of the kind was sent by
Walker Blaine. Therefore, it was not
seen by members of the committee, as
stated. We would have been only too
glad to have seen Mr.. Blaine and Mr..
Conkling on good terms. The whole
statement is ridiculous"
