NOT HARMONIOUS.

The meeting of the resolutions COM
mittee was not altogether harmonious
When the plank endorsing Quay for the
presidential nomination was read, c.
l.. Magee, the Pittsburg leader, de-
clared that he was for Mckinley. On
the roll call of fifty votes, four were
against Quay, Messrs. Magee, Hall and
Golden of Allegheny and BrownIee of
Lycoming.
There was much debate on the prop
osition that candidates for United
States senator to succeed Cameron be
permitted to submit their names to the
voters at the primaries in the various
legislative districts. This resolution
was defeated.
A resolution instructing the delegates
to support Mckinley in the event of
the retirement of Quay, was defeated,
there being only two or three ayes
When General Bingham had finished
reading the platform, Delegate Schaef-
fer of Delaware county offered as an
amendment a resolution suggesting
that candidates for the United States
senate be given the right to register
their names in legislative district and
be voted for at the primaries. The
amendment was defeated, yeas Sc,

A DISTURBANCE AROSE
when Congressman Robinson offered as
an amendment a resolution instructing
the delegates at large for Mckinley for
second choice.
mo, no. and "Quay, Quay" came
from all over the hail. A motion to
lay this on the table was made and
the chair decided the question not de-
batable. Mr.. Robinson insisted on
speaking on point of order, and the
chair ordered the roll call to proceed,
the ayes and nays having been called
for. The result was a pandemon1um OF
noise, during which Mr.. Robinson stood
in the aisle, shaking his fist at the
chairman and shouting that ne de-
manded his rights"
Order was finally obtained. The
chair withdrew his ruling and Mr.
Robinson took the platform and made
his speech in support of his resolution
He declared he was heartily in favor
of Senator Quay's candidacy and
would, as a delegate, vote for him at
the St Louis convention. He felt,
however. that back Of the desire OF
Ouay's success there is a feeling IN
favor of Mckinley if, after all, it is
NOT possible to confer the nomination
upon Mr.. Quay.
Mr.. Robinson was interrupted at
this point by loud
CHEERS FOR MCKINLEY,
and with strong shouts for Reed. Mr..
Penrose responded to Mr.. Robinson's
speech. He brought the delegates to
their feet, and with the most genuine
enthusiasm of the day, when he de-
cIared he was opposed to any action
that would belittle and make ridiculous
the grand compliment the convention
has paid to Mr.. Quay.
Mr.. Penrose accused Mr.. Robinson
of working small political scheme Tor
his own political aggrandizement.
Mr.. Robinson attempted. angrily, to
interrupt Mr.. Penrose, but the crowd
hooted him down When Senator
Penrose concluded Mr.. Robinson
asked for an extra teller, saying there
had been cases of impersonation on

Two PAY the Penalty.

SING SING, n. Y, April 23.-The
wife murderer Hermann was executed
at 11:25 a. m. today. Two contacts of
current were necessary, owing, the at
tending physician stated, to the pres
ence OF air in the lungs.
Louis P. Hermann shot and killed
his wife on the afternoon of January
q, 1895, in the apartments of Char
lotte Palmer, 304 East One Hundred
and Fifth street, New York city He
had just been released from the peni-
tertiary after having served a years
term there. He found his wife at the
place named and chided her for not
having visited him while he was in the
penitentiary. She did not receive her
convicted husband with great show
of love, and in rage he shot her three
times. One bullet entered the right
temple, the second passed through her
breast and the third lodged in the abb
donlen. He made no attempt to es-
cape.
ONE MORE.
Charles Pustalks. another wife MUIR
derar, entered the death chamber at
Hal. The current was turned on at
HAP, one minute and twenty seconds.
1t was turned on second time at ll:44
At I1:46 Pustalka was pronounced
dead.
The crime for which Charles Pus-
talka met the penalty of death was the
murder of his wife in New York city or
the morning of August rs, 1895. Pus-
talka, after having spent the night
away from home, entered the apart
ment on the top floor at 515 East Thir-
teerth street, and Will, his wife was
sleeping, stabbed her in the throat
with a long knife. He then seized the
woman by the hair and, dragging her
into the kitchen which adjoined the
sleeping apartment, inflicted wound al
ter wound upon her. When his wife
was dead, the murderer opened the
front of her dress and took from her
breast 5000 and left the house. He was
arrested in a saloon called the Cafe
Waldorf, which was owned by his
wife. He sat at e table holding re-
volver in his right hand, and when
taken into custody told the officers he
had intended to kin his stepdaughter
who was associated with Mrs. Pus-
talka in the cafe.
The couple had been married for
twelve years and had five children
Mrs. Pustalka had been married previ-
ously and had one daughter by her
former husband This girl, Lizzie
Schcentlin. was associated with her
mother in the Cafe Waldorf and it was
claimed by the murderer that his step
daughter had been the cause of all the
trouble between himself and wife.

THE EFFECT OF COCAINE.

He also saw Walling and Jackson in
consultation in the McNevin boarding
house the night Jackson was arrested.
1t was also proven by j. H. Ulen that he
sold jackson seventeen grains of cocaine
on the 18th of January.
Allen Jones Johnson, colored porter
at Wallingford's saloon, testified to seeing
Jackson and Walling at the saloon Friday
night, January 81 and that young girl
was there with Jackson and they went
away together in hack. He also testi-
fed that Mr. Shepperd, Wallings attor-
ney, had offered to make it better for him
to stay away from this trial than to
attend I1a IT. and had a.; do1a nm the courts I1.

corroborated evidence already given.

REPORT OF DIR. RoTHRoCK.

The Commissioner of Forestry
presents an able review. In March
last the report of the Commissioner
was presented to the Legislature,
and it has just been printed in a
separate volume comprising Part
II of the report of the State De-
partment of Agriculture for 1895.
The volume is mainly comprised of
the report of DIR. Rothrock the
learned botanist of the commission
and the active Commissioner. For
years it has been apparent that the
massive forests which once covered
the hills and valleys of our State
were rapidly disappearing, and year
by year we have seen the amount
Of lumber foated down the Delaware
diminish until now it is so inconsi-
derable as to hardly be worth
mention. The small streams have
gradually run dry, and those which
at one time furnished a home for
the lusty trout, now barely trickle
over the stones and moss covering
their beds. This wasting away has
been almost imperceptible, but it
has been constant and sure and peo-
pie are awakening to day to the
solemn fact. Our ridges on which
the oak, pine and chestnut formerly
grew are now covered with the
blackened and charred twigs of scrub
oaks, and are nearly barrens One
can ride for miles along the roads
traversing the interior of the county
and not see stick which will make
any kind of timber. Nothing but a

Editorial.
THE MILFORD LYCEUM.

Last weeks Press contained an
article by director of the Associa-
tion giving an outline of the present
situation of its affairs. We can all
join heartily in the wish that the
severe blow,it has received in the
destruction of its books, papers and
abode will only stir the people to
greater activity in putting it ON a
solid basis of prosperity again.
While not intending to - rake over
any ashes - we think such an in
stitution should be run on a business
basis and governed by just as rigid
laws ms any corporation for profit.
To effectuaily accomplish this end
the Association should be incorpo-
rated under our laws, and its con-
stitution and by-laws provide for
the election to Office only of those
who are bona fide members, and
made so by holding paid-up shares
of stock.
We intend no reflection on the
present board of direction, but ex-
perience has taught that the Ly-
ceum was subjected to considerable
annoyance, criticism and possible
great loss by reason of the fact that
an irresponsible, designing and as
we view it dishonest party was
urged for chief officer, and tacitly
allowed under the guise of obtain
ing funds for it's aid to materially
swell his own private account.
While this may not have brought
the Lyceum any i'll repute yet it
probably did deter those who were
sincere in its welfare from taking
active interest in it's affairs, when
they saw those urged as its man.
ayers who neither had or deserved
the confidence or respect of the
community. An incorporation would
remedy any such opportunity in the
future, and people could with con-
fidence enter into the spirit of build
ing up a worthy object.

The advisability of again establish
ing the old time whipping post, as a
means of punishment, has of late
years been much discussed. A
group of men recently were relating
some boyhood experiences long be-
fore the war. One gray haired We
teran recalled the time, when his
father as sheriff of the Country was
called upon to administer punish
ment to negro, charged with some
petty theft. The punishment being
forty whip lashes. The negro was
brought before him, tied to the post,
his back barred, and eight short
switches secured. Near by stood a
magistrate who after each stroke
slowly repeated these words "God
save the State"
According to Bible customs forty
lashes save one were given. At the
end of this impressive ceremony, the
negro returned home a wiser and
sadder man, and it was related,
never appeared again for another
dose.

An Uuseemly wrangle.

That was an unseemly, not to say
ghoulish, wrangle between county
officials about the burial of an un-
known dead man found in Williams
township on Friday last. The Bur-
CESS of South Easton saved the re-
putation of the borough officials by
ordering the remains removed and
inferred, making himself RESPONSE
BILE. But it will now take strong ac-
ton in the direction of decency and
propriety to remove the disgrace
which certain county officials
brought upon themselves in not
promptly performing their duties
in this grave matter.

GOOD ROADS.

At the coming Farmers Institute,
good roads will be prominent sub
ject for discussion. There is no sec
ton of country where they can be
so easily and cheaply made as this
valley, and with the reputation we
now have for them among the
wheelmen, it behooves our people to
add as much as possible to their at
Effectiveness. This valley is great
thoroughfare, its renown has spread
far and wide and every year will
more widely diffuse the good inn
preston, If the people will keep
pace with the requirements. The
roads should be widened in many
places, overhanging branches cut
away, the swells ON the hills taken
out and drain tile substituted, and
the roads kept we'll rounded so as
TO prevent washing. Loose stones
are easily removed and with n little
care could be kept out the roads.
We could have an ideal thorough
fare for bicyclists and it would pay
in more ways than one We will
give years subscription to the
Press to that supervisor next year
who will evince the most care, and
exercise the greatest diligence in
keeping his section of the roads in
the best repair.

PLEASE GIYEus A REsr.

Mr. Bryan apparently not satisfied
with the view the people took OF
him his parti colored parties, and
free silver notions, threatens to
keep his mouth working for the
next four years. We hope he will
reflect, think better of it, as it were,
aud give the country rest. Most
newspaper editors have now con-
signed to the waste basket all the
odds and ends of the 16 to / bust
ness, and it only lives as a sort of
nightmare in their minds. The peo-
pie thoroughly understood it and

A soANT majority in Old Pike for
the Demopopanarchistic candidate
for Congress ! Well, if some of
the spooks of the old departed Well
ses, Dimmicks, Brodheads, Van
Aukens, Van Gordons and other old
time Democrats of that rocky county
can look down ON this terrestrial
ball, they must think things in Pike
are all topsy-turvy indeed In the
old days there were not 245 Republi-
can votes in all Pike, but things are
changed. The forests have gone,
the rattlers are fewer, the copper
heads have retreated to the forest
businesses, the wildcats and bears
live mostly in the yarns in certain
New York and Philadelphia dailies,
the people are drinking less apple
jack and more of the pure water
that gushes from the mountain
springs, school houses have increased
in number, Industrial progress has
been made, and there has been a
general mental, moral, social, in
dustrial and political uplifting in
that rocky corner of the keystone
State, all of which is reflected in the
increased Republican vote and in the
correspondingly decreased Democra-
tic vote Coal Gazette.
