HE WANTED PAINT.
How n. VI. Goebel was Defrauded Out
OF 500 Worth OF Paint.

About a week ago man giving the
name OF Sullivan, and representing
himself to be the foreman Of the D.,
L. & y. paint shops, at IOnia, entered
the store of II. NJ. Goebel, on Canal-st.,
and ordered about $50 worth of mater
ial with which, he said, he was going to
paint bridges and culverts along the
D., L. x y. He talked so knowingly
about railway matters that Mr.. GOebel
had no suspicion that he was fraud.
Last Thursday when the billswas pre-
sented 10 the D., l.. q y. for payment
they sent It in 70 Mr.. sullivan, at Iona,
and asked him TO explain why he
bought material without requlsitlOn.
Not having bought any such material
Mr. sullivan replied rather sharply and
was Immediately discharged by the D.,

As soon as Mr.. Go saw Mr.. Sui

man who bought taa paint. 1t then

that Mr.. GOebcl had been defrauded.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-The Herald says
that Senator Kennedy's withdrawal
from the Cronin conspiracy case, if the
current report be true, was caused by
Forests undermining him and because
he was almost ignored by all of the
other lawyers IN the case and the prls-

not only convinced of the guilt of the
men on trial but he believes every one
of them to have had a guilty knowledge

HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. THE Re-
publican State Convention was called to
order at 10.35 this morning, when most
of the delegates were on hand. Walter
Lyon, of ALLEGHENY, was elected tenn
porary chairman. On being introduced,
Mr.. Lyon thanked the convention for the

''Since last the Republican party of the
state embed in convention the great
contest between the two great parties of
the nation has been fought, and with no
uncertain voice has the verdict of the
people upon the question at issue been
rendered. The chair which was occupied
by Grover Cleveland when this convention
last met is now occupied by man in
whose honor, integrity, wisdom and pat
riotism the confidence and trust of the
people repose-the Republican soldier,
protectionist President, our General
Benjamin Harrison
"We not only rejoice in the part the
Republican party of Pennsylvania has
taken in bringing this abont, hut we also
rejoice in the fact that to the Republican
party of Pennsylvania is due the credit
of furnishing the great political general
under whose leadership victory was won;
and on the assembly of this, the first con
vention since the victory of 1888, we can
congratulate ourselves on the harmony
which prevails in our party. Discussions
discords and factions are rapidly disap
bearing, and to day we are assembled
stronger than ever we were in the history
of the party in this state 3"
After adopting platform endorsing
the Harrison administration Henry K :.
Boyce, of Philadelphia, was nominated
for state treasurer by reclamation, and
the convention adjourned.

MRS. MAVERICK CONVICTED AND
SENTENCED TO DEATH.

LIVERPOOL, Aug. Mrs. Maybrick
has been found guilty and sentenced to
death. Nothing can save her from the
gallows now but the intervention of the
Queen, through her Home Secretary. 1t
may be possible that a popular petition
may succeed in putting the convicted
American girl behind the prison bars for
lie, but this is, as yet, mere speculation.
This case has attracted the greatest
amount of attention. Mrs. Florence
Maybrick who is to be executed in Liver
pool, is charged with the death of her
husband through arsenical poison few
months ago. In the testimony before
the court she admitted having confessed
to her husband that she had been faith
less to her marriage vows and had been
forgiven by him. Maybrick was a rich
man and had lived considerable time in
brooklyn, l.. l., where they were both
somewhat prominent socially. After
going to England some months ago Mrs
May brick was detected under compro-
missing circumstances with man whom
she had known in this country and the
husband it was stated had arranged to
secure divorce from his wife. He was.
however, taken ill before proceedings
were under way, and alter much sufft ring
died. The circumstances OF his death
and the quantities OF arsenic found about
his room and Mrs. Maybrick's apart
ments, aroused a suspicion that led to
post mortem examination, and this dis
closed the fact that Maybrick had been
poisoned. She was accordingly arrested
and securing through the financial aid of
her American friends, Sir Charles Rus
sell as her attorney, the case went to trial
few days ago. The defence was most
able and ingenious. 1t was attempted to
prove that Nav brick was an habitual ar
senlc eater and had died as a natural Sc
quence to the practice. Mrs. Maybrick
1t Vas offered, in evidence used consider
able arsenic in her toilet and for com
plexion lotion, and by this testin ony it
was endeavored to account for the large
amounts of the deadly poison she had
bought and was found among her effects.
Up to the announcing OF the verdict there
was general feeling the woman would
be acquitted. She had procured the
ablest attorney in England and the court
was so favorable to her side of the case
that 1t violated its adopted method of
procedure and permitted the accused to
testify in her own behalf. The Judge
charge was also favorable to the defend
ant instructing the jury almost directly
to acauit the prisoner. Then Maybrick's
will was admitted to probate and having
been recently made provided quite gen
erously for his widow, but did not be-
queath to her sufficient money to give
rise to any suspicion or question as to
the validity of the document. The re-
ports of the trial, as cabled to this coun-
try, looked favorable to the prisoner and
her conviction Is therefore surprise.

Mr.. Wanamaker's Reply.

The discussion between the Western
Union and the Postmaster General con-
corning the rate for the Government
telegraphing grows interesting. DIR.
Green presented the case of the West
ern Union with skill and force. He is
an able manager and dexterous con
troversialist. His argument in support
of the Western Unions protest against
the Postmaster Generals proposed rate
was adroit and specious, and, without
the answer, was calculated to impress
the reader as cogent, if not conclusive.
But DR.. Green has found his match
in Mr.. Wanamaker. The reply of the
Postmaster General is a trenchant and
effective paper. Unless his statements
can be shaken, he has certainly sue
ceeded in justifying and fortifying his
position. DR.. Green had commended
that the franchises secured by the tele-
graph companies through the act of
1866 were nominal rather than real and
possessed no substantial value. Mr..
Wanamaker shows in reply that these
franchises thus contemporary treated
include the use of the streets in all the
great cities and the right Of way on the
postroads throughout the country. In
stead of beng valueless they are, ac-
cording to this representation, OF the
highest importance, and Mr.. Wanna
maker is justified in claiming that in
return for such valuable privileges the
Government is entitled to the lowest
special rate.
Even outside of this claim MIR. Wan
amaker presents very torcible reasons
in support of his position that there
should be large reduction. He takes
issue with the allegation that the Gov
eminent has had the lowest rate for
messages to single address and has
mastered and mustered the facts with
great skill. The training and the
methods of the thorough business. man
are exhibited in his keen analysis and
summary of the business propositions
involved. He shows that while the
rate to the Government has remained
unchanged for years, the telegraph
companies have within that time made
heavy reductions to other customers.
1t is clear from Mr.. Wanamaker's
strong exposition that the old rate of
one cent a word can not stand. 1t IS
quite possible that the rate of one mill
a word may be too low. That depends
upon the valuation of the franchises
which ought to be exacted. Mr.. Wan
maker undoubtedly means to be fair
and just and is willing to hear all that

The town of Newark has just secured
the second largest organ factory in the
country, and Havre de Grace has in
duced large shoe factory to remove
thither from Baltimore. These ad-
vances in the business prospects OF our
neighboring towns point moral to the
people of Elkton. II is asserted, on
excellent authority, that the first inquiry
made by the persons who control these
manufacturing interests was as to the
condition OF the water supply and fire
departments of the towns that were
candidates for their favor.
Both towns proved to be in first-rate
shape in both respects, as the result of
recent Improvements and the other
conditions imposed by the manufactor-
les were soon complied with.
With little more iberality mani
tested by her CITIZENS, Elkton might
long since have beer in these import
ant particulars, on an equal footing
with her more favored neighbors and
while we do not intend to place the re-
sponsibility of our present condition on
any one class of our people, we do
wish to say that steps ought now to be
taken to give to this town, at an early
day, the much needed improvements
which were contemplated by the move
ment that met such an untimely and
unfortunate end two years ago.

The conviction of Mrs. Maybrick an
American woman in Liverpool for the
murder OF her husband has caused con-
siderable comment. The case has at
tracted much interest and has very sen
sational features. The convicted woman
appears to have many in England who
believe in her innocence and it is moi
improbable that her sentence will be
committed. If it were in this country
she would probably secure a new tria
