manager, gave dinner last evening at
which James J. Corbctt was challenged
by Fitzsimmons. Dave Holland was made

Fitzsimmons proposes that the fight be
TO finish for 5000 or $4,000 a side and
the largest purse offered. He proposes that
1t take place before or after the Corbett-
Sharkey fight, or in the same ring or at
any place within "a reasonable time after

When james J. Corbett was notified at
Asbury Park Of Fitzsimmons challenge
he simply laughed and said "Fitzsim-

Condemned Murdcrers' Fight for Life.

HoLLIDAYsBURG, Pa, Sept. II. - The
Blair county courts yesterday heard evil
dence on the application for new trials of
James Farrell and Frank Wilson, who
were recently convicted of the murder Of
Henry Bonnecka, an aged Altoona miscr
in April, 1895. The applications are founded
upon a confession alleged to nave been
made by Joseph Hildebrandt, convict in
the Maryland penitentinry in which Hill
debrandt admitted killing Bonnecka. To
offset the damaging evidence against the
commonwealth the district attorney called
William Kent and Bruce Donaldson, two
convicts in the penitentiary Of Pennsyl-
vania, who testified that J. f. Bacon, II
fellow convict, had confessed to them that
he accompanied Wilson and Farrell at the
time they committed the murder. About
fifty witnesses were heard yesterday, and
the hearing is continued today.

THE PENNSYLVANIA FUSION
Democratic State Convention Unquali-
fiedly for Silver.
A UNION WITH THE POPULISTS |
Populist Jerome T. Altman Nominated for
Congressman at Large, and Populists
sterritt and Ireland Electors-at-
Large-To Unite in Close Districts.

HARRISBURG, Sept. 1.-THE Democratic
state convention, reconvened for the pur-
pose of filling vacancies on the state ticket
caused by various designations since the
Chicago convention met yesterday and
transacted its business. The silver men
were in complete control and they passed
resolutions indorsing Bryan and the Chi
cago platform. Captain John b. Keenan,,
of Westnoroland, was temporary and per
manent chairman, and made a speech
strongly advising fusion with the Popu-
lists.
The Populists overtures for fusion were
accepted, and the two parties will work
together In close congressional, senatorial
and representative districts. Much excite
ment resulted from an effort of the op-
ponents of William +. Harrity to pass u
resolution requesting the Democratic ma
tional committee to expel him from that
body, but they failed on n close vote-17l
to l67 The two candidates for congress-
men-at-large previously nominated at the
Allentown convention having resigned,
Dewitt G. Dewitt Democrat, and Jerome
L. Altman, Populist, were chosen in their
stead.
Three of the four eectors-at-lurge had
also resigned, and their places were filled
by Thomas Sterritt and Louis NJ. Ireland.
Populists, and Thomas G. Delahunty, of
Philadelphia, Democrat The new district
delegates are; John H. Keenan, of Phila-
delphia, James j, King of Philadelphia,
Thomas Mccullough of Philadelphia,
Michael Delaney of Chester, Charles ID.
Kaier of Mahanoy City and Samuel w
Black of Pittsburg.
The convention was undoubtedly hearty
in its support of Bryan and the Chicago
PLATFORM much genuine enthusiasm being
manifested. Naturally there was much
confusion and wrangling, and some show
of bad blood. The lack of opposition to
the Populist fusion was surprising to the
old leaders in attendance.
protest against what they described as
revolutionary proceedings" was filed by
the gold delegates, and most of them re-
Trained from participation in the proceed
ings.

DEATH OF ROBERT GARRETT.
Ono Time Controller Of the Baltimore ar

One Time Controller of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railway.
BALTIMORE, July 30.-Robert Garrett,
formerly president of the Baltimore and
Ohio railway, died at his cottage in Deer
Park, Md, soon after 3 o'clock yesterday
morning. Although Mr.. Carrot: had been
a hopeless mental invalid for many years.
il was no; thought that his physical in
iirinitics were such as To cause any imme-
date uncaSincsS upon the part of his
friends. About two weeks ago. however,
he began to fail and il WAS thought best TO
remove him from II plands," his country
howe, near Baltimore, to Deer Park, in
the hope that the change of air and scenery
would benefit him.
Monday his physical condition showed n
marked change for the worse, and Tues
day his condition became critical. His de-
voted wife was with him when the end
came, which was peaceful and apparently
painless. The immediate cause Of death
is understood to bc chronic nephri;is,
which he had suffered from for many
years. Robert Carrot was the son of John
Work Garrett. who founded the Balti.
more and Ohio Express company, the
Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph company,
and was president of the railroad of tha
same name for moro thln n quarter of n
century. Robert GIr-ctt was born in Bal

Much has been said from time to
time about the savings in the state
charitable institutions, but it should
be remcm bered that the state penal
institutions. the pcnitentiaries, are
not included in the list Of charitable
institutions. They, too, have been
making n magnificent record. The
Southern Illinois penitentiary. at
Chester. is one Of these Institutions.
Under republican administration il
seems TO have been conducted as ex-
travagantly rs the other state insti-
tutions. Whtn Gov. Altgeld came in
he called halt there also and placed
the institution on u business basis.
Just notice the result OF n change OF
management and OF methods. I'm
der the Fifer administration this in-
stitution had $50 prisoners. and for
the ordinary expenses. which item
covers all the expenses OF keeping
tho prisoners, the legislature appro-
priated t95, 200 per year. while under
the Altgeld administration the
yearly appropriation has been re-
duccd to $4,000. the number OF
prisoners being 200. Under the re-
publican administration the institu-
ton had 100 United States prisoners
at 80 cents day. n good price. while
now there are but ii United States
convicts. Thus il will be seen tina,
the present democratic administra.
tion. by substituting honest business
methods for loose political methods,
has kept $50 convicts for &45,.
600 less per year than the
republican administration ex
pended on $50 prisoners for sim
liar service. Does not that record
present contrast for you? DO tax
payers want n more eloquent lessor
than that? Which are they going tC
upaold, republican extravaganza OIL
democratic economy?
