Ell PAso, Tex, April 6.-John Selman,
the victor of not less than twenty fatal
shooting affrays in Texas, the extermina-
tor of "bad men" aud the slayer of the
notorious John Wesley Hardin is lying
with a bullet hole through his body, hav-
ing been shot in a quarrel with United
States Deputy Marshal John Scarborough
Selman is about 50 years of age, and has
lived a stormy life. When not drinking
he was as gentle and modest as a child
but he did not know what fear was and
has killed not less than twenty outlaws
He was dead shot and quick as lightning
with gun. Last August,in this city, the
notorious John Wesley Hardin challenged
him to a free fight in the Acme saloon

James Williams deserves all the honor of
being state delegate.
Did you hear anybody say Schuyllin
county wasn't for Quay 2
Congressman Brumm's headquarters in
Pottsville on Saturday had few visitors Hon.
John J. Coyle, however, was there.
Senator Quay is on his way to Florida for
weeks visit. Tom Platt, of New York, will
visit the same state. What does this mean
The mention of Senator Quay's name has
the same effect upon the Philadelphia Press
and Pottsville Republican that red flag has
on bull.
Major Finney can justly feel proud of the
fact that he received the solid vote of Potts
vile, the Daily Republican to the contrary
Notwithstanding.
Last week the HERALD predicted the
election Of Finney and Mcconnell, the latter
without opposition. The convention pro-
ceedings tell the rest
Frank job received but four votes for state
delegate in the Third district. Frank will
hardly have the chance to vote contrary to
instructions this time.
Dave" Phillips was very much in evidence
at Saturdays convention, while the Senator
from this district contented himself with
being merely an onlooker.
Quite a number of people are wondering
whether Mr.. Brumm will withdraw from the
Congressional fight as gracefully as he did
the national delegate contest.
If Clarkson, who has been making Presi-
dents for the past twenty years. does not
know who will be nominated at st. Louis,
what prophet ON this side of the Great Divide
can give us anything?
1t is to be hoped Shenandoah will some
oil 4
represent the ideas of their constituents-not
alone those of their own, The Republicans
of Shenandoah We're not in favor of John
Gressang as national delegate.
A remedy, and a money-saver is the Craw-
ford county system, by which any one can
become a candidate, by merely sending his
name TO the County Commissioners, and the
voters, not the delegates, will do the rest.
1t is the fairest and the only just method
and the expense would be trihe to the
candidate.-Daily Record.
! The Philadelphia Times says since the
Schuylkill Republicans has almost unani-
mOusly indorsed Senator Quay for President
and refused to accept Mckinley even as second
! choice, the claim of the Pottsvillc Republi-
can that there is an overwhelming desire"
for the Ex-Governor of Ohio is in need of
serious revision.
Among the Shenandoah people at the con-
vention Saturday we noticed Hon. Joseph
Wyatt, Horace L. Dengler, NJ. II. Keller,
Councilman James McElhenny, Supervisor
Llewellyn, James $. Williams, Il. ID. Reese
and } ohm Weeks.
Another person has let his name go before
the public for the nomination of Assembly on
Democratic ticket from this district. This
e time it is J. X. P. Scheidy, of Shenandoah
= Mr.. Scheitliy needs no introduction to the
people Of this district, and ne and his friends
feel as though he should be nominated, as he
is the first Gcrman-A American from this
district who has ever allowed his name to be
used for this Office Between Mr.. Scheihy
and Mr. Cleary it is safe to say that some
I ''hustling will be done.-Lost Creek CORE

SATURDAYS CONVENTION.

The result of the county convention held
ON Saturday, report of which appeared in
these columns on that date, is pleasing to the
Republicans in many ways, Schuylkill
countyfs an industrial centre, and the resi-
deus thereof are strong advocates of the
policy Of protection to home industries. The
platform adopted reattirms the party's ad-
herence to the American policy Of protection
and demands such legislation as will afford a
greater income for the maintenance of
the government, giving encouragement
to American industries with remunera-
tive wages for American labor. The
Wilson tariff was denounced as the first
step for the annihilaton of American in
dustries and the Democratic administra-
ton araigned as being the cause of the
depression in business.
The convention was just as positive, if not
more so, upon the financial question, favoring
the use Of both gold and silver as
standard money, under such provisions to be
determined by legislation as will secure IA
maintenance of the parity of value of the
two until they shall have the purchasing and
debt-paying power of q, whether Of gold,
silver or paper, and shall be at all times
equal.
The convention clearly voiced the views of
the great majority Of Republicans in its
endorsement Of Senator Quay for the presi-
dental nomination, notwithstanding the fact
that coterie of Republicans who follow the
lead of Boss Magee, tried to use the "sinews
of war Of the Hanna brand The scnti-
ment was too strong against them, and the
Quay resolutions were passed with an over
whelming majority. 1t was a red-letter day
for the Quay supporters in this county, and
the Junior Senator may well feel proud of
the confidence that Schuylkill Republicans
have in his leadership There were many
Reed, Mckinley and Allison men in the con
ycntion, but they were unanimous in their
advocacy Of Senator Quay as their first
choice.
The withdrawal of Congressman Brumm
as a candidate for national delegate, while
not a surprise to many, is looked upon as an
acknowledgment of that gentlcmln's weak
ness. Defeat was certain had he remained
in the fight; Furthermore, the fact that he
was a candidate has weakened his chance
for denomination this fall to Congress,
The Mckinley candidate was John S
Gressang, the present clerk at the Almshouse
1t was no fault of the employees at tina
institution that lac was defeated, They CAV
him loyal support, and when argument faile'
something more persuasive was used to brin
the Quay delegates to their way of thinking
The result, however, shows that the
effort, were successful in only one or tw
instances.
1t is acknowledged that the majority of tn
Republicans of Shenandoah favor Senate
Quay as their first choice, as q matter of stat
pride II for NO DlAer reason. One thing !

NEW YORK, April 6.-The Raines liquor
law was enforced in this city yesterday.
1t was apparent all over the city that the
saloon keepers had made up their minds
to take no chances under the existing con-

to evade the provisions of the law, and no
violations were reported at police head
quarters. On every street the interiors of

by the Turkish officials some time since of

were absurd, and it was believed that they
were brought for the purpose of compell-
ing Mr.. Knapp and his fellow missionary,
Rev. r. NJ. Cole, to leave the country. Mr..
Knapp has complained that he has been
blOckaded in Bitlis, his servants not being
allowed to go to the MARKET and the roads
being so bad that he could not leave for

FIRE IN A MUSEUM.



CmCRGo. April Ga fire which bore a
very threatening aspect for time, and
created u panic, broke out yesterday after
noon in a Clark street dime museum. The
two small theaters in the building were
entertaining audiences of more than the
usual proportions, at least a thousand per
sons, who occupied every available space,
being present. The audiences at once made
a rush for the doors, and for a time pam
demonium reigned. The stage manager
Charles Bell, took commanding posi-
ton, and urged the people not to lose their
heads, and to his GOODNESS and self posses.
sion is due the fact that the patrons finally
escaped without injury.
The widest confusion however prevailed
among the freaks and stage performers,
but all escaped without injury many of
the actors running into the streets in
their stage attire. Probably the greatest
excitement attending the fire was caused
by an incident that happened on the third
floor where a collection of huge snakes
was on exhibition. Among this collection
was boa constructor twenty feet in
length. A female snake charmer had
charge of the reptiles and when the fire
broke out she attempted to place them in
a box.
Calling for a assistance, stranger
climbed into the cage and offered to help
capture the snakes. He picked the largest.
one up by the neck, and no sooner had he
done SO than the snake, recognizing twas
in the hands of a stranger coiled its huge
form about the mans arm. The snake
charmer. realizing the mans danger told
him to keep firm grip on the snakes
neck. A terrific struggle then ensued but
by the combined efforts of the fair snake
charmer and the obliging stranger the
boa constructor was finally TANNED into
high box and secured The remainder of
the snakes were easily rescued, The blaze
was a hot one while it lasted, but the fire
department. soon extinguisbod it with
only nominal damuges.
