The REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVENTIONAL
year ago, in a stormy Republican county con-
vention one of the delegates protested against
washing the party linen in public. Acting
upon this suggestion the Republican county
convention which met in Bel Air on Monday
decided to perform this job in private and
therefore held a caucus with closed doors.
All the morning little groups Of Republican
| district leaders could be seen on the street
corners in earnest conversation with a few
dissatisfied Democrats. From the tone Of
these conversations it was evident that trouble
was brewing. Everything was not serene in
the Republican camp. 1t was known that of
the delegates present 40 came here opposed to
fusion, of whom 20, being the delegates from
| Marshall's and Havre de Grace, were instruct
ed to vote against it. They were in favor Of
standing by their colors and against uniting
with few disappointed Democrats who mere
\ ly wanted to use the Republican party as a
catspaw to pull Democratic chestnuts out Of
! the fire.
| In order to avoid public quarrel and en-
| force the dictates of minority caucus was
held with closed DOORS The delegates assem-
bled about half-past one O'Clock and were in
continuous session until nearly four O'Clock.
1t was a stormy session. Things, it is said,
were called by their right names and it SEEM
ed at one time that the gulf between the dis
cordant elements could not be bridged.
| A ballot was taken and fusion was carried
by vote of % to II. Fraud was charged be-
cause several of the districts were not permit
ted to have their proper quota of representa-
ton In the caucus, some of the delegates being
unable to gain access to the room. bolt APP
peared imminent.
Finally the doors were thrown open and the
convention came to order. Mr.. W. Scott
Whiteford, chairman of the caucus, was made
chairman of the convention, with Mr.. John
b. Hanna Secretary.
The following were accredited delegates:
First District-R. j. Gilbert, s. o. McCourt-
ney, Joseph G.. Waterman, George w. Mel
horn, James F. Brown, Charles w. Roberts,
Joseph H. Holmes, John G. Gibson, j. j. Nc
Vey, j. w. Donohoo.

A German physician, DR.. Koeppen of the
Hamburg marine observatory, has been
making series of experiments to test the
comparative value of different kinds of oil
for the purpose of shilling the waters.
He declares that petroleum or paraffin is Of
no use whatever. and olive oil of little
value. On the other hand, he says that
rapeseed oil and oil of turpentine have con-
siderable effect, but the most effective Of
all oils is train oil. Not satisfied with these
experiments, he then set to work with other
fatty materials and reports that he found
a solution of soap to be far superior as a
wave stller to any kind of OIL He says
that only very thin solution of soap is re-
quired, about one part of soap to thou
sand parts of water.-New York Telegram

The readers of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure in all its
stages and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a con,
stitutional disease, requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh cure is taken inter-
nally, acting directly upon the blood and mu-
cous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease and giving the
patient strength by building up the constitu-
ton and assisting nature in doing its work.

without hope.
She was loving wife, Il kind mother and af-
fectionate friend to all who knew her, and ex-

tion Trips.
AS the period of the existence of the Worlds
Columbian Exposition draws to Il close the de-
mand grows stronger for the economical and
satisfactory means of reaching Chicago pro-
vided heretofore by the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company. Recognizing the urgency OF
this popular need, that company has fixed a
few additional dates on which excursions of
the same character as the previous ones will
be run. September 10TH 23d, 2Sth, October
ID 18th, 18th and 21st are the days selected
from New York, Philadelphia and points east
of Pittsburg and Erie and north of York.
The special trains will be composed of the
standard coaches for which the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company is noted, and the arrival in
Chicago at an early hour the following after
noon obviously gives ample opportunity for
the securing of accommodations at that place.
The excursion rate. good only on the special
train and valid for return within ten days, is
500 from New York, S1S.25 from Philadelphia
and proportionately low from other stations.
Return portions of tickets are good for ten
days.
These trains will be run on fast schedule,
and will be provided with all modern conven-
fences with the exception of Pullman cars.
