STATE TEAM FOR SCRANTON.

Was to Be Discussed at Last Nights
Philadelphia Meeting.
It is currently reported in base ball
circles that Marty Swift is enthussd
with tho idea that Scranton could sup
port State league team and that the
project would be presented for action
at meeting Of State league managers
at Philadelphia last night
During Swift's retirement from the
management of the Scranton team his
advisers have urged him on In the
matter and Secretary Diddlsbock is
said to be willing to support Swift in
his purpose. Swift was out of the city
yesterday and neither his affirmation
or denial to the story could be secured.
However, several Of his intimates al
legged that the ex.manager Is still
slated for the soft and sure base ball
position at Carbondale, and that be
would not be so foolish as to interest
himself further in Scranton base ball
matters.

Anti Tillmanites Name an Executive Committee and are Prepared
 for a Fight.

COLUMBIA, s. O., Sept. IS. At 3:45 o'clock this morning the anti -Tillman con- vention adjourned without making any nominations. The vote was 120 against nominating and 104 in favor. The con- vention adopted series of resolutions in which it was demanded of the state con- vention, which meets tomorrow, that they adopt the Chicago platform and explicitly declare true and loyal allegiance to the national democratic party; that it, at the same time, repudiate and rescind the &C., ton of the state convention of 1892, which adopted the Ocala platform as the princi- pies of the democratic party of the state; that the state convention nominate no one who is not in full accord with the principles of the national democratic party, or no one who acknowledges allegiance to the Ocala platform or to the principles of the popuist party. It was further resolved that should the convention tomorrow fail to do these things and nominate any others than those holding allegiance to democratic principles, then all true democrats are ab- solved from obligation to support such nominations at the November election, whether or no: they participated In the re- cent primary.
 An executive committee of one member from each county was appointed, which shall call the convention again should the state convention iaii lo carry oue Ine aoo'e demands. The delegates to that convention are beginning to arrive and will meet to. morrow at 12 o'clock. John Garry Evans will be the nominee for governor and there is a quiet scramble among reformers for the other places. The convention will, in all probability, again adopt the Ocala plat form, though there are some who are will ing to meet the conservatives half way. That there will be two tickets both claim ing to be democrats is almost certain, and a short, but exciting, campaign will result. What the republicans will do remains to be seen. It is rumored that they will revive and take hand in the fracas.

IT WAS A FACT.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-The following is the text of an official dispatch received by Japanese Minister Shinichiro Kurino from the minister of foreign affairs at To- kio: "On September 15 the Japanese army attacked the Chinese force, which were strongly entrenched at Ping Yang, and after severe fighting won a complete vic- tory, capturing Ping Yang before dawn of the 18th. The Chinese numbered more than 20, 1000. and with the exception of Q very few, who fled, were either killed {, wounded or taken prisoners, including the Chinese commander, General Tzo. A very large quantity of provisions and munitions of war were taken. The Japanese loss was 300 killed and wounded.' The Chinese legation, as usual, have no information.

AJUBILEE CELEBRATION.

Fifty years is long time-much more than the average lifetime. Men, there fore, naturally note such periods. Just now Messrs. Perry Davis & Son of Provi- dence, R. l., the proprietors of Pain Killer, are celebrating the jubilee of that good old household remedy, and have doubled the capacity of their bottles with. out increasing the price. This will of course make Pain Killer more popular than ever. For fifty years it has been the family medicine chest in coun tless homes in every country on the globe. Once given a trial, it stays in any home, where. when anything happens, the bottle is reached for.
 When one reflects that two years is the average life of a patent medicine, these fifty years prove very plainly that if Pain Killer had not been all that it claims 1t would have gone into oblivion long years ago. The old limitations of Pain Killer have gone the way of all substitutes, and the newer '.just as goods'' are followin g on. for as long as some things are recog- nized as better than others Pain Killer will be recognized as the best and quickest relief for internal or external pain.
 When anything happens to you or yours, nine times out of ten you can cure it your self with Pain Killer. 9-7eod lot

He stands at the head "a pleasant gentleman, an able physician and is recognized as the leading author i'y in the treatment of all private diseases. Birmingham may well be proud of him.
