PENNSYLVANIA REPUBS
Name Candidates For Treasurer and Auditor
GeneraI--The Platform.

Harrisburg, Pa, Aug. 26.-The repubi l.
can state convention, comprising 1853 dee
gates, met in this city today tind nond-
mated James S. Beacon of Westmoreland
county for state traasurer and Major Levi
G. McAuley of Chester county for Aud
but the Allegheny county delegates, I'M
der the leadership of State Senator c.
L Magee, placed the name of State Sena-
tor ]. w. Crawford of that county before
com. No active canvass was made in
Crawford's behalf however, and he re-
celved but nine votes besides the forty
one cast for him by his home delegation.
The platform ratifies and reaf1lrms the
st. Louis declaration of principles; con-
graduates the people on the passage of
the Dinghy hill ard on the return of pres
parity; pledges the party to Naintain
just, equitable and level civil service; de-
nounces President Cleveland for abuse of
it's powers; declares for state and munich
pal reforms, publication of elections and
the free exercise CT the elective fran
chise; Endorses the administration of
President Mckinley and Gov. Hastings;
regrets the defeat of the reform bills by
the late legislature ard recommends the
passage of the bill requiring the payment
of interest on state deposits.
The harmony which prevailed was of
the most pronounced sort and there was
not ripple on the surface to mar the Sc
Erenity of tho proceedings. Some of the
delega ties seemed Ito take only a languld
interest In the work of the convention, al
though its nominees, when they were in
troduced at the close of The mestirg, were
given cordial reception.
s The convention was held as eusua1 in
the Harrisburg Grand Opera House.
While th:re was full attendance of del
egates, the gathering was notable for the
absence of the Usual throng of visitors
and shouters that has marked the con-
vention for the past few years. =.

NO JURY AS YET

Chicago, Aug 26.-Interest in the trial
of Adolph Luetgert, the sausage maker
who is charged with numbering his wife
and DESTROYING her h99d i,yy-in one of his
Ya lIs, IS intense. This is the third day of
the trial and jury has not been secured,
but the states attorney believes that the
jury will be completed during the pres

We're in court today. Elmer, the younger
of the two boys, climbed upon his faith

1t is said Luetgert is making consider

upon addressing the jury during the pro-

nervous, pain-racked and fretful, and ap-E
preaching maternity will be menace of the

Lincoln Neb, Aug 26.-Nebreska re-
publicans made a record for industry and
push in their state convention held here
today. The session began ct O'Clock this
afternoon and was concluded at O'Clock.
The nomination of Judge Post for the as
sociate supreme court judgeship was a
fore~o Nj, 5s sM y an hour before the
convention met. There was but minor in
terest in state university regents and the
canvass for those positions was at no
time exciting. The absence of any refer
enae to the money question in the plat
form caused some surprise and Yves ex-
planned by one member of the committee
on rsolutions by the statement that the
"silver question Is dead issue and needs
no burial at the hands of Nebraska re-
publicans." Aside from the hsarty ap-
plause which greeted the different speak
ers. there were no exciting incidents, the
only thing approaching sensation be-
ing the announcement of Senator John M.
Thurston in his address to the convention
that he would not again be a candidate
for the senate.
When tho convention was callsd to
order Hon. Norris Brown, of Kerney,
was made temporary chairman, Hon.
J. H. Phee, of Minden, was made per-
manent chairman and spoke briefly. But
four counties had bsen called for nonli-
nation of associate judge of the supreme

mated for regent of th= state university

THE MONETARY COMMISSION.
1t Completes Its Work and Is Dis
solved by the Chairman.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE monetary
commission reached the conclusion of it's
deliberations to-day and the chairman,
Senator Edmunds, declared the commission
ADJOURNED without date. The closing pro-
ceedings were interesting. The work of go
ing over the report in detail was prolonged
late into the night of Thursday, and was
not quite completed when the commission
met this morning. Such changes as were
approved were finally considered and re-
ferred to the executive committee, and the
secretaries for incorporation in the final
draft The motion that the report be
adopted as whole was made by Mr. S.
Stuart Patterson, of Philadelphia, who pre-
sided over the Indianapolis convention.
There was some question up to the last
moment whether the members would waive
all their individual preferences in regard to
minor details of the report and sign it
unanimously. Practical unanimity was
finally due as much to the earnest appeals
of Senator Edmunds as to any other infu
ence. One member thought 1t necessary to
make more emphatic his conviction as to
one feature of the report, and Mr.. Garnett,
who had returned to his home in California,
was not able to take part in the final de-
liberations, differed slightly from his asso-
ciates in regard to the treatment of the
tAlSlulS SILVER COlllS anu SILVER CeIliuCdlSS.
The signatures of all the members will be
attached to the report with the limited res
ervationS of these two.
Mr.. II. H. Hanna, the chairman of the
executive committee, then took the floor
and stated that the services of the commits
soners would be properly recognized at the
Indianapolis convention of the business
men of the country, which has been called
for Jan. 20.
The commission was then declared dis
solved by Senator Edmunds and the mem
with expressions
gret that their associations were to end.
The final publication of the commissions
report will be delayed for several days,
pending it's completion by the secretaries.
A bill carrying out fully the recommended
tions of the commission is also in course
of preparation by subcommittee, in CO.
operation with the executive committee,
and will be ready for presentation in the
House when Congress reassembles after the
holidays. Is, T.
Preparations for an earnest campaign will
be begun by the executive committee i'll
anticipation of the convention which has
been called for Jan. %, at which they hope
for enthusiastic support.

DANCING AND RELIGION.
Rector of AN Episcopal Church Wants
Both Taught to His Flock.

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-Rev. DIR. Edward
L. Stoddard rector of st. Johns, the most
aristocratic Episcopal Church in Jersey
City, announced yesterday that he would
start dancing class In connection with his
church, and would be prepared 10 furnish
instruction in the terpsichorean art at the
unprecedentedly low price of cents a les
son. DIR. Stoddard is already canvassing
among the young folks of his church for
members of the class and has thus far OBJ
tained about twenty names for his roll
When he has forty members he will engage
a dancing professor to begin the lessons.
The first announcement of this new enter
prise was made by DR.. Stoddard TO his Bible
class on Sunday afternoon. 1t soon became
known throughout the large parish that the
rector was about to start dancing class
ard the news created sensation. The doe
tor expects considerable criticism. he says
but declares that 1t viii not deter him from
carrying out his project. His object in in
sttuting dancing class in connection with
lis church, he says. is twofold. In the first
place, he will keep those whose hearts are
set upon learning TO dance from the evils
that might come from attendance at a pub
lie dancing class. In the second place he
says. the dancing class will promote socla-
hility among the church members.
