But They Failed to Carry
Their Point
THE KEYSTONE DEMOCRATS
HAVE NO FURTHER USE FOR MR..
HARRITY
In Spite of Bitter Opposition the Free
Silver Democrats Control the
State Convention
ssociated Press Special Wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
READING, Pa, Aug. 31-The Demo.
cratic state convention met in this city
today and nominated Walter E. Ritter
of Lycoming county for auditor general
[ and M. Z. Brown Of Blairsville for state
treasurer. The matter of the selection
Of candidates was entirely overshadow-
ed by the fight to force the retirement OF
Mr.. Harrity from the national commit
tee. The opponents of Mr.. Harrity sue
ceeded in pushing through, by vote of
29O to 1870, resolution endorsing James
NJ. Guffee for his position. Mr.. Har-
ritys friends contend that the state
convention has no power to declare his
seat in the national committee vacant,
and that he will not surrender without
a fight.
The morning session Of the conven-
ton ended with disgraceful row, dur
ing which some delegates who did not
like the way things were going climbed
upon the stage and exchanged blows. A
large detachment of police was on hand
in the afternoon and everything was
serene.
When the convention reassembled the
committee on permanent organization
reported the name of r. W. Irwin Of
Washington for permanent chairman
and recommended the continuation of
the other temporary officers with the eX-
ception that c. w. Sulick of Northamp-
ton replace John T. Murphy as one OF
the secretaries.
James Kerr of Clearfield, chairman Of
the resolutions committee, read the
platform
Charles P. Donnelly of Philadelphia
presented a minority report striking out
a plank commencing the recommended
ton of James NJ. Guffee as national
committeeman in place of William =.
Harrity. He pleaded with the DELE
gates to confine their work to state is
sues and not attempt to create a fac
tional division by offering an insult to
Mr.. Harrity.
L. McQuestion of Butler county de-
Tended the plank. He said true Democ-
racy of the state should not retain in
position of honor a man who had not
been true to Democratic principles or in
accordance with the candidates and
platform.
The roll was then called on motion of
Mr. Donnelly to strike out the Guffee
plank from the platform The result of
the vote sustained the majority report
by 300 to 1874. Absent and not voting, II.
The Philadelphia delegation stood Il to
43 in favor of Mr.. Harrity. Nomination
of candidates was then next in order.
Ex- Mayor William K. Ferbeke of Dau-
phin county and exAssemblyman Wal
ter E. Ritter were named for auditor
general. The vote resulted: Ritter, 2S4;
Verbeke 49, and the former was de-
clared the nominee.
For the office of state treasurer Mayor
Jacob Weidel of Reading and M. Z.
Brown of Blairsvlle were named. Mr..
Brown was the fortunate candidate by
a vote of 22S to 127.
The convention, at 5:55 p. m, adjourn
ed sine die.
1t was stated late tonight that Mr. Rit-
ter, the nominee for auditor general,
has telegraphed chairman German that
he has been nominated without his con-
sent and declined to run. The report
could not be verified.

BURGLARS AT WORK
OPERATING IN THE SOUTHWEST
PART OF THE CITY
Numerous Reports Of Their Depreda-
tions Have Been Made to the
Police Department

Burglars are again at work in the
southwestern part of the city and nu-
merous reports of their depredations
have been made to the police within the
past few days. From the manner in
which the work has been done it would
seem that the burglars are the same in
almost every case. On Monday night the
house of Edward Lownes at 91S Burling-
ton avenue was entered and all the
rooms ransacked. The family is absent
and it is not known what was taken.
Mr.. Lownes. is civi lengineer and is
engaged in surveying the route of the
Ojai Valley railroad. On Monday he
took his family to Ojai and closed his
house during their absence. At night
neighbors noticed that the gas was
lighted in the rooms. but supposed that
the family had returned. Yesterday
morning the door leading into the back
yard was found standing open and the
gas was still burning. The circum-
stances were so suspicious that an in
vestigation was Immediately made. 1t
was then seen that some marauder had
been all through the house Everything
was topsy turvey and the contents of
bureau drawers were scattered in a pro-
miscuous heap over the floor. From the
evidence it would seem that the burglar
or burglars must have been frightened
away Unexpectedly.
Two other burglaries were committed
on Saturday night. The home of ex-
Police Commissioner Cook at $40 South
Bonnie Brae was broken into during the
absence of the family and a quantity of
silverware taken. On the same night
the residence of Maurice S. Hellman on
South Hope street was entered and a
considerable amount of plunder carried
away. Other reports have been made of
barns which have been broken into and
harness stolen. The police detectives
are on the lookout for the perpetrators
of these outrages and hope to speedily
run them down.

The Augusta. r ckland Game.

Those patriotic, wel-posted and LIBERAL

ously circulating the report that Rockland

comes in:
We'll. we have fallen at last. The idols
of the polo arena have met their Water

upon seven hills succeeded In accomplish
ing feat Saturday evening, the ENJOY
ment of which must be keen indeed, ow-
ing to the fact that it has so seldom been
done since that memorable time when the
brave and mighty 'OConnor introduced
the curved stick and the little red ball to

But they did it, and even the beautiful
playing of Campbell and the mad bull
and red rag dashes of Maynard could
not save the game. although the most
sanguine supporters of the Augustus
must admit that it cost them mighty
effort, aided by Kindness OF Maynard in
making fouls at just the right time-for
Augusta.
The first period started in with a rush
and that the Augustus had some new ma
terial on rollers was evident. The first
period was Il snappy one. but the honors
belonged to Augusta, and when the gong
had died away. il was found that the
Statesmen hau Gagged two. while the
Champions score remained a goose egg.
The multitude groaned and the band
played, ana then the battle ragged once
more The Champions started with a
rush in the second and in a few inmates
the ball was Gagged by Campbell and
things looked brighter. The next ball was
placed in the netting by Murphy in a trife
over six minutes and it certainly looked
as though Rocklands percentage would
still remain at the top notch
But before the period was over, the
Augustus proved concluSively that they
were in the game yet by caging another
ball, and the score stood 3 to in their
favor. When the last period opened. the
Champions quickly made goal. followed
it up by another. and the rafters rung

victory seemed certain. But the score is
not always to the swftest. Right here
was when Maynard got in his work and
without the least provocation deliberately
made a foul and a goal was lost. Murphy
of the Augustus, had an attack of the
commissions and it is doubtful if he has
got his mouth closed yet. He was pleased.

another ball. This gave them the lead
again. with only a few minutes left to
play. In this short time the Champions
did themselves proud, but it was no use.
the gong sounded. it was all over and the
bard played once more, but this tine II
was a funeral dirge. ~
THUS closed one of the most exciting
games of the season and the Augusta
team deserves great credit for its work.
Had it not been for Campbell who took
every rush, and O'Malley. who played
finely as usual. the score would have been
larger against us. as these men were de-
cideGiy the stars of the home team.
