IMPROVING SHIPPING FACILITIES.
The Pennsylvania Company Resume Work
on Their Coal Docks nj Erie.

The Peansylvnuia Company Resume Work
on Their Coal Docks Mt Erie.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.l
ERIE, June A.-When the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company suspended its operations
at the Pittsburg docks, where they had set
out to e1pend nearly $25O,00O, much specu-
lation was INDUCED in. This morning the
contractors at this place had orders to pro-
ceed with the work, and while additional
docks are ordered, extra yard room is to be
made Sc once, and trestles and storage room
hastened to speedy completion. The work
ordered will double the capacity of handling
ore at Erie, and will call for the expendi-
ture of fully $500, 900. The work will be
completed in time for next seasons traffic.
J. Lewis Linn, of Philadelphia, has the
contract. There are strong indications that
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company is
working with Chauncey Andrews and the
Huidekopers to get control OF the Conneaut
harbor, thereby securing the only unoccu-
pied port on the south shore of Lake Erie.
The balance of the scheme, as outlined by
q stockholder in the Pittsburg, Shenango
and Lake Erie Railroad, is for the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company to oust the afore-
said Lake Shore and Lake Erie Railroad,
and thereby monopolize the Western Penn
sylvania coal and oil field completely, as
we'll as Conneaut harbor.

A NAVAL BATTLE

Between Omeers and Bathers on the Monsn-
rested-sourhsiders Try 10 Rescue Their
Friends-One Man Floats Away.
The passengers of the up-river packets
havo been greatly annoyed of late by the
behavior of overgrown boys and young men
who bathe in the Monongahela in daylight,
in defiance Of the city ordinance and Chief
Browns order.
Yesterday afternoon Captain Boyd tele-
phoned to Inspector McAleese that 40 or so
young men were bathing near the old Pitts
burg gas house, above the Tenth street bridge.
The Inspector detailed Detectives Shore, Ben
ole, Kennedy and Sterck TO go after the men.
when the bathers saw the officers they left
their clothes on the bank, and pushing a long
spar into the water, foated down stream with
1t. Friends OF the bathers saw the plight they
were in, and put off in skiffs from the South
side to rescue them.
The officers ran along the bank until they
reached the railroad bridge, and. obtaining
boat. rowed out to capture the swimmers.
Several parties of the rescuers tried to sink
the officers boat by running into 1t, but the
latter exercised their knowledge of naviga-
t1on, and warded them OF. After quite a
lively time. the officers succeeded in capturing
John Savage and John Coleman, each II years
old, who were among the swimmers. and John
Conners Fl years old, who was one OF the res,
cuers. The men were taken to the Central
station with their attire in an incomplete con-
dition.
All the other men escaped. their friends Sc
curing their garments, with one exception.
One of the swimmers stuck to the spar, and
tho last seen of him he was floating past the

JOsHUA's LONG DAY,
Prof. Totten, of Yale, Rikures Out the Dnre
of the Historical Conjunction.

Prof. Totten, of Yale, Fikures Out the Date
of Ihe Historical Conjunction.
New York Tribune
After many years of close calculation,
brought at last to successful close, Prof.
Totten. of Yale, announces that he has
identified the conjunction of the sun and
moon which marked Joshua's long day.
Reckoning back from the present new moon,
June, 1890, the Beth-horon conjunction took
place in midheavens at lib A. M. exactly
3,435 full lunar years ago; or, reckoning for
ward, ammo mundi, it happened at the
winter solstice OF 2555 A. M, which was the
365th Sabbatic year, and this, in fact, when
properly understood, is the key to the whole
system OF lunar chronology followed by the
ancient nations.
Mr.. Totten states that his calculations
point with absolute certainty to the fact that,
then and there, at tine time of this remark.
able conjunction, those charged with the
keeping of the Hebrew calendar must have
intercalated single weekday, which he
identifies as Wednesday, the 933, ,286th day
of the world. Mr.. Totten also states that
802 lunar years and three lunations ago
similar conjunction occurred on the zenith
of the same place, Beth-horon; that is, at
the September lunation of 1112 A. D.

WASHINGTON, June A.-The Sullivan.Jack.
son fight. when it comes of, it is said, will take
place very near the National Capital. The
fight will probably take place under the aus
pices of the Virginia Athletic Association on
the Virginia shore Of the Potomac, near WASH
ington. Some months ago good deal of COM
ment was caused by the enactment of law by
the Virginia Legislature which Incorporated an
athletic club and gave the officers of the club
omnipotent powers as to its grounds and prop
erty lying between this city and Alexandria,
Fnown as ''Gentleman's Driving Park" They
propose to erect thereupon clubhouse and
such other buildings as may be necessary The
work of the construction is to commence at
once, and the management has announced its
intention to have the Sullivan and jackson
hight take place there.
They say they can do this without interfer-
ence. FOR the law plainly states that no Sheriff
OF police officer has any jurisdiction over the
property of the club. The only remedy is the
repeal of the law. and for this purpose a special
session of the Legislature would have to be
called. The Virginia Legislature. biennial
body. does not meet in regular session for near
ly two years.
The management has intimated that the
opening performance at their new grounds will
be bull fight. This proposition would bring
out all the objection that could possibly be
made, and the matter would then have to be
settled by the courts, which the incorporators
say and appear to believe would uphold the
law as passed by the last Legislature.

BUTTERWORTH AGAIN A CANDIDATE

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, June A.-The Re
publican State Convention met in this city
at noon to-day. Horace s. Clark was made
Temporary Chairman. At the close of his
address the temporary organization was
completed. A dispatch was received and
read from Senator Cullom, congratulating
the convention and the party on its pros
poets, State and National.
The districts were called and the men,
bers of the various committees announced.
After short recess the convention reas-
sembled and General John H. McNulta, OF
BLOOMINGTON, was made Permanent Chair
man, and he spoke at some length.
AN OMISSION CORRECTED.
tee at the first session, the Hon. A. M.
Jones, of Daviess county, who was for some
years Chairman of the committee, and a
notable figure in Illinois politics, was left
out. After the permanent organization had
been completed his friends went to work to
remedy this and succeeded in securing the
selection of TWO members from the State at
large. These were Mr.. Jones and e. ID.
Morris, a colored man from Chicago.
3 Candidates were then presented Tor nomi-
nation for the Office OF State Treasurer, and
Franz Amberg, of Chicago, was selected on
the second ballot. DR.. Richard A. Ed
wards, the present incumbent, was re-
nominated for Superintendent Of Public
instruction without opposition. General
Smith D. Atkins, of Freeport, Chairman Of
the Committee on Resolutions, presentedithe
platform, which was adopted. Among other
things it says:
A FEDERAL ELECTION LAW.
The Republican party of Illinois, in Delegate
Convention assembled, declare that we hereby
renew our oft repeated declaration in favor of

practices at elections, and we recommend our
representatives in the next General As
sembly to enact the Australian bal
lot system with such improvements
and safeguards as the experience of other
States where 1t has been adopted and tested
may suggest. We further recommend the
adoption of the bill now before Congress for
the protection of all the electors OF the United
States in the exercise OF their blood-bought
political rights at the polls. The Republican
party has ever been the champion of the Amer
lean workngman against the expressions or
exactions of corporate monopoly.

the interest of the American people, and we

only purpose seems to be to prevent and OBJ
