PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS.
Meeting of the State League of Clubs
at Lancaster.
THE SIX SUPERIOR COURT JUDGES
The Executive Committee Was in Session
Last Night-They VIII Strongly Recon-
mend the Nomination of six Candi
dates for judicial Honors.

LANCASTER, Pa, Sept. 5.-The generN
assembly of the Democratic societies
opened today, and the roll call showed be
tween 600 and 700 present. ID. +. Magee, of
this county, was chosen temporary chair
man. Disappointment was felt on receipt
of a telegram from United States Senator
Charles j. Faulkner, chairman of the
Democratic congressional committee who
was billed to address mass meeting to-
night, stating that he was unable to be
present because of illness.
The executive committee, in session last
night prepared a draft of resolutions
which will strongly recommend to the
Democratic state convention the nomina-
tion of six candidates for superior court
Judge, and an aggressive campaign The
resolutions will also contain an unequivo-
cal declaration in favor of sound money.
There seems no doubt of the reelection of
eX-Lleutenant Governor Black as presi-
dent and Major John ID. Worman as sec.
retary of the state society, though there is
a prospect of some contests for vice presi-
dents. Erie is being strongly doomed for
the place of the next meeting, and depu-
ties and other visitors swarm the streets
with Erie badges.
The uppermost topic is the superior court
judgeship, and the friends of Assistant
Secretary Of the Interior Reynolds of Bed
ford, James S. Moorhead Of Westmoreland
and Judges Yerkes of Bucks, Ermentrout
of Berks and Magee of Allegheny are
booming them vigorously.
w. G. Deitrick secretary of the Crescent
club, of Philadelphia, announced himself
as candidate for secretary against Major
Worman. He is making an active canvass
and says he will go into the assembly
backed by fifty votes of his organization
Major Worman is likewise confident.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-Although the meas
urements of Defender and Valkyrie III
will not be announced officially until to-
morrow, and possibly not until Saturday,
enough has been learned about the spars
and hulls Of the boats to make a reason
ably correct estimate of the racing lengths
of the yachts and the time allowance given
by the challengers. 1t is the first time
since the big sloops began contesting for
the cup that the American boat has had to
take time, although it will not be as great
as was expected. Under the rules of the
New York Yacht club the Defender will
probably have an allowance of little less
than minute on thirty mile course.

however, erect temporary office in the cor

A Few Words to WOrkingmen.

There are thousands of men in
Fayette county whose wages were
reduced or thrown into idleness, by
the Mckinley high tariff.
Under the operation of the Wilson
tariff reform law these idle men have
secured steady employment and an
increase of wages.
Republican journals declare that
protection, meaning thereby high
tariff, is the issue of the pending
campaign. Should Republicans be
generally successful in the elections
of this year, tariff agitation will be
revived with all it's depressing effects
on business and industry.
Do workingmen and the people
generally prefer the Mckinley hard
times to the present prosperity? If
they do not, they should vote the
Democratic ticket. Democratic sue
cess would mean that the tariff re.
form law which has proven such a
blessing must stand. Business and
industry, having adjusted them
selves to that law, will then be able
to continue in the present prosper

A NOTED FOR6ER
After Career of Years Finally Arrest.
ed. Well Known In West Virginia.

MoRGANTowN, W. VA, Oct, 10
Robert Beeson, West Virginia for
ger of an almost national notoriety.
has been captured at Orleando, Fla,
at the instance of Maryland authori.
ties and placed in the Baltimore
city Jail. His career in crime began
in Berkeley county about fifteen
years ago. He was an extensive cat
tie dealer, and in an instant of finan-
cial extremity forged note for 81,
600 on the Shenandoah Valley Ma
tional Bank, of Winchester, Va. The
officers permitted him to escape af-
ter he had been arrested for this Of
Tense, and he went from there to Cal
ifornia. where he was compelled to
leave for similar crime in few
years. He then came back to West
Virginia and did business under an
assumed name in this section of the
state and in Harrison county. Here
he succeeded in swindling number
of farmers, from whom he had
bought cattle, and flew to Tennes-
see. Since that time he has prac-
tioed forgery and swindling in sever
al states, and succeeded in evading
the officers until a few days ago,
He is now awaiting a trial for
forgery in Maryland, and should he
not be convicted he will be brought
to West Virginia and tried for
crimes which will give him life
sentence in the penitentiary. His
family, which is among the best in
the state, has not escaped his trick
cry. He almost bankrupted an uncle
in Fostoria, Ohio, and caused sever
al other uncles living in Berkeley
county to pay large sums Of mcney
for him.

Good horses are scarce now and
they are going to be still scarcer and
higher priced" said Hon. Henry
Fairfax of Virginia, the owner of
magnificent stock farm to a Wash
ington Post man the other day.
There never was a time when q pair
of first class harness horses would
command higher price in the mar
ket. The scant supply is one cause,
and the higher equine standard de-
veloped of late years is another. A
horse that would have taken first
prize in any of the big shows as late
as 1890 would scarcely get consider
alton in 1895. Our people who have
been abroad have been educated to
know what fine horse really is, and
the exhibitions that have been given
in New York. Philadelphia, and 9th
er large cities have done still more
to increase the demand for excel
lence. The common horse has been
largely displaced, but high grade
animals will always bring good
prices, and men who raise them will
make money"

FIRST BOAT ON THE OHIO
Made Trip from Pittsburg TO the

The passing down a few days
since of the steamer John Mills, for

THE BRIDEGROOM SAID, 81 DO. y
He knew That Was the Important Part
of the Ceremony.

As during the months of October
and November wedding follow each
other in quick succession, it might
be well for the prospective groom OF
the coming days to see 20 it that he
does not make the mistake that a
nervous groom made not long since.
Although well aware of the fact
that the guests all observe the bride
aud ignore the groom, nevertheless
he is generally worried and wonders
if he will answer all questions cor.
rectly
At one of the Kansas City we'd
ding each detail of the ceremony
had been carefully and studiously
gone over They, the happy couple,
were positive that not single mis-
take could occur to mar the stately
ceremony in which they were to be
the principals.
The expected guests waited in the
parlor decked with costly flowers
and vine festooned for the bridal
party to enter. They came slowly
down the stairway, across the re-
ception room, and at last stood be
fore the officiating minister.
Sweetly conscious was the bride
of the solemn service, nervous was
the groom az he stood with eyes
gazing intently at his fair brides
pastor
After the usual kindly words of
advice the pastor commenced the
service by asking the groom
"You, Edward, declare in the
presence of God, that you do not
know any reason by precontract or
otherwise, why you may not lawful
ly marry Louise, whom you hold by
the right hand?"
With his hand elasping tenderly
the hand of his bride, he murmured,
II do"
Quickly, but in very low tone,
the pastor prompts him by saying
81 do not"
The dazed groom modestly re
sponded by repeating the pastors
words, and not until then did he
realize that be had not yet reached
that most pleasing part of the cere-
mony in which he was TO say 81 do, "
and "do" it properly.

The Great Drought.

The most remarkable drough, of
the closing quarter of a century has
been broken so far as the Middle
Atlantic and New England states
are concerned There have been
heavy rains in Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, Connecticut and ada
cent states, and the showers extend
ed southwark into Delaware and
Maryland. In many of the counties
of Eastern Pennsylvania the drought
has been the most severe since 1869,
but it has been broken as far west
as the anthracite coal region. There
is still great scarcity of water along
the slopes of the Allegheny noun
tains, and yesterday fatal railway
casualty occurred at Altoona which
is indirectly attributable to the
drought passenger train having
dashed into an engine attached TO a
water train.
The condition of streams and
springs in many parts Of West Vir-
ginIa, Ohio Indiana and Kentucky
has not been much better than in the
other states named. The great Ohio
river is little better than success
sion of pools, while tributary streams
are almost dried up. Many small
towns are without adequate supplies
of water, and the sanitary condition
of the sources of supply is very bad.
Typhoid fever prevails wherever the
drought has made itself felt, and it
is not improbable that the number
of cases will increase rather than di-
minish until the rains shall be heavy
enough to refresh the land and carry
off through the streams the accum-
ulated filth of the summer months.
One of the most serious effects of the
prolonged dry spell has been the in
ability of the farmers to get their
fall blowing and seeding done.
