Quay's Convention.

The Republican State Convention was
held in Harrisburg yesterday. John P.
Elkins, of Indiana County, was made
permanent chairman. General Gregg,
of Berks County, was nominated for
Auditor General and John w. Morrison,
of Allegheny County, for State Treasur-
er. Lieutenant Governor Louis A. Wat
res was chosen Chairman of the State
Committee, to succeed William H..
Andrews.
The platform adopted endorses the ad-
ministration of Harrison; the conduct of
the Post-office Department by Wana-
maker and the State Department by
Blaine; endorses the Mckinley bill, and
indulges in lot of platitudes which vir-
tually endorse the State and Philadel-
phia thieves who have been fattening
for years on public money. Blaine's
Presidential boom was nipped by the
Harrison faction. Quay's influence was
manifested throughout the work OF the
convention, and the campaign this fall
must be a repetition Of last years. The
Philadelphia Ledger Qnd. Rep.), in a
long editorial this morning, accepts the
candidates. but strongly condemns the
methods by which they were nominated.
1t also denounces the resolutions passed
and makes caustic criticisms op the plat
form.

The Democrats of Lackawanna County
held their convention on Tuesday and
recorded their protest against the dis
tribution of patronage by Pattison in that
county, by sending a delegation to the
State Convention which will be bitterly
opposed to the presidential aspirations
of the Governor. The anti-Pattison fac
ton, led by Sheriff Robinson, had every
thing their own way, and Campbell, can
dldate for sheriff and leader of the oppo.
sition, was so badly beaten that he would
not allow his name to be presented. The
following slate made by the Robinson
forces went through without a break ::
sheriff, John J. Fahey; prothonotary,
James G. Bailey; treasurer, George Kim
back; clerk of the court, John J. O'Boyle;
recorder, James ]. Healey; register,
Henry I. Koehler; jury commissioner,
f.. j. Ward.
The fight in Carbon failed to end so
peaceably, however, and the county
meeting broke up into two wrangling
factions. The issue there was on G. w.
Esser, who is candidate for prothono-
tary for fifth term. Those opposed to
him elected the president, Mr.. Entodv
Then followed general uproar, vii =
continued full hour. Finally the busi-
ness was transacted. The 3lst of August
was fixed for the nominating convention,
and resolutions were adopted, including
one strongly indorsing Governor Patti
son. The Esser men bolted and organ
lied another meeting after the ulars
had adjourned, and the feeling is very
bitter on both sides,

The Hazleton dailies made several
changes for the better on Monday. The
proprietors of the Speaker, Messrs.
Sweeney and Morris, have placed the
paper under the editorial management
of Henry Rood, of Philadelphia Mr..
Rood did the recent Lattimer murder for
the Press, and came well recommended
by his Philadelphia brethren. They
have also opened Wilkes-Barre depart
ment, which is under charge of B. j.
Mooney. As Democratic daily the
Speaker has a good field, and it should
certainly take advantage of its oppor-
tunities in the future.
The Sentinel has departed from the
magazine style which handicapped that
bright journal, and now makes its ap-
pearance as seven column folio. Its
newsy briefs will be more appreciated
than ever. If it would only change its
politics the Sentinel would be hard to
beat.

Wild Bears About.

The following weird story of bear
chase comes from Hazleton this morn
ing 1t is too thrilling to be true, but we
give it as related Shortly after mid
night as Nicholas Williams, of Beaver
Meadow, was driving up the Quakake
mountain between Weatherly and Bea-
yer Meadow, his horse took fright, and
he had great difficulty in inducing it to
pass a black object which sat on the
roadside. He eventually did so under
the whip, and struck the motionless
object as he passed it. The next moment
he was Mortified to discover that it was
a bear.
The animal game chase, and although
Williams urged his horse with voice and
whip up the mountain, Bruin steadily
gained on him, and on two occasions
succeeded in clambering up the back of
the carriage, but was pushed back by
Williams.
This increased the animals rage and
for third time it caught up, and despite
Williams efforts succeeded in getting
partly into the buggy, but Williams used
his whip on him furiously and he was
dslodged. By this time the top of the
mountain had been reached and with it
a rapid decline, down which the horse
sped at breakneck speed and Bruin was
soon outdistanced. A party of men are
securing the woods to-day in search of
the bear.

The Lehigh Valley train which arrives
here at 1885 A. M. from Wilkes Barre
and Scranton had narrow escape from
being wrecked yesterday morning.
While approaching the junction switch
of the Freeland branch and the main
line near Highland the engineer, VIM.
Pickering, noticed a small obstruction on
the track. He reversed his engine, No.
All, as soon as possible, but was unable
to stop before the switch was reached.
number of railroad spikes securely
wedged between the rails was what the
engineer had seen, and when the train
struck them the front wheels of the
locomotive bounded from the track.
The truck and passenger coaches passed
over the spikes without being derailed,
but the sudden jar and run over the ties
damaged the engine considerably. A
half hours work placed the wheels on
the track again, and the train proceeded
to Hazleton, where the locomotive is in
the shops for repairs. The passengers
were very badly shaken up, but fortu-
nate in having such a miraculous escape.
No clue of the wreckers has yet been
found.

Jacob Fox, ex-tax collector of Foster
Township, was arrested Tuesday evening
by County Detective Philips, on a war
rant issued by Alderman Parsons, of
Wilkes-Barre, charging him with appro-
priating to his own use money collected
from persons not assessed. These taxes
are known as supplementary taxes, and
amount to quite sum every year. Fox
was taken before Squire Johnson, where
he was given a hearing and entered bail
in the sum of $1,000 for his appearance at
court. Gottleib Fox and Adam Sachs
became his bondsmen.
On the same evening Philip J. Ferry,
ex-tax collector of Halle Township,
was arrested by the county detective on
a similar charge. 1t is alleged that
Ferry's defalcation amounts to nearly
$1,000. The accused both state that they
will be able to disapprove the charges at
the proper time. The arrests were made
at the instigation of Coke Bros. & Co.,
who intend to push the cases.

II. F. Cox, of Philadelphia, a guest at
Glen Summit Hotel, attempted to COM
init suicide on Friday morning by cutting
his throat from ear to ear. The jugular
vein, however, was not severed, and
physicians succeeded in saving his life
for the present, although the conse-
quences of his rash act, coupled with the
condition of his system, may prove fatal.
Mr.. Cox is very prominent in Phila-
delphia society, and is member of sew
eral of the leading clubs.
He is also noted inventor. Among
his inventions is the block system Of
running of trains, which the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company has adopted on
all of its lines, and rail connection,
which has been adopted by all the latest
constructed railroads in the world. He
receives an immense royalty from the
Pennsylvania Railroad.

The Ashland Record has this to say of
the Jeddo tunnel: The greatest engineer
ing feat in the history of anthracite coal
mining in Pennsylvania is about to be-
gin. 1t is the commencement of what
will be known as the Jeddo tunnel,
which will be driven for the purpose of
draining the flooded mines of Jeddo and
Harleigh. 1t will be constructed from
Butler Valley to the bottom of Ebervale
mammoth vein, distance of three miles,
through solid rock, to be eight feet
square in the clear. John Markle, who
is to be president of the company, con-
ceived the idea. 1t will open an mex
haustibe supply of coal and furnish en-
ployment for many years to come.

Prices Advanced and Mines Shut Down,

In the anthracite coal trade the policy
of restricting output by working only
four days per week and stoppage on Fri
day and Saturday is to be continued
throughout the month, and is expected
toimpart more healthful outlook. The
first weeks restriction reduced the out
put about 167 900 tons compared with
the previous week, that is from S95 900
to 72S, 900 tons. If the remaining weeks
do as well they will probably keep the
August output of anthracite within the
limit of 5000, 900 tons agreed upon by the
coal company presidents. The second
week S restriction was carefully observed
by general shutdown last Friday and
Saturday. The weekly output is also re-
duced below the weekly figures of last
year by this restriction, so that the total
excess was reduced during the first week
of August about 900 tons. The supply
is still, however, 1850, 900 tons ahead Of
last year, and over $4,000, 900 tons have
been mined down to the close Of last
week, so that there is still an excessive
pressure of unsold coal upon the market.
The sales agents met last week in New
York and ordered an advance of Is cents
per ton on an average in circular prices,
to take effect September l
The total amount Of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
August 9Th, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 72S, 1854 tons,
compared with 500, ,445 tons in the CORES
ponding week last year, decrease of
1871 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1891
was 22,5a7 ,005 tons, compared with 49,.
