AS QUAY PLANNED.
Pennsylvania Senator Carries Convention
to His Liking.

Harrisburg, Pn. June 2.-The Republi-
can state convention met in this city
today and named the party ticket that
is to be submitted to the voters this fall
as follows: Governor, Col. VIM. a.
Stone of Allegheny; acknowledgement,
Gen. J, P. S. Goblin of Lebanon; score
tary of internal affairs, Gen. Jos. W. Latt
of Philadelphia; judge Of the superior
court, VIM. NJ. Porter of Philadelphia !;
congressmen-at-large, Gallusha Grow of
Susquehanna and Samuel A. Davenport
OF Erie.
The last five are denominations. There
was scarcely any opposition to the pro.
gramme for the work of the convention
as outlined by Senator Quay and his
lieutenants, those opposed to the nomina.
tion of Col. Stone for the head OF the
ticket contenting themselves with the
concentration of their vote on Charles w.
Stone. The vote was uncomfortably
receiving only Is more votes than the
votes cast for G. ". Stone represented
the combined strength of that candidate
and John Wanamaker. The latter pro-
vided the. only sensation of an other
wise cut and dried convention, by pre-
senting letter of withdrawal in which
he denounced the methods of the dominant
Republicans and urged his friends to sup
port C. ". Stone.
Mr.. Wanamaker's retirement from the
fight came as startling surprise to his
delegates.

my derrick from the east side of the river
to the Magdalenas, where had con-
tract to sink mine shaft. The derrick
was on four wagon wheels, and four
mules were hauling it. l had my two
helpers along, and one of them, man
named Mccartney, drove the mules He
was an old timer, which was lucky, for
was new to the country, and If had
trusted to my own Judgment might
have made mistake that would have
cost mo my mules and derrick, if not my
life.
'sWe came to the Rio Grande an hour
before sundown, and l saw wide river
bed. but no water-only dry sand from
one bank to the other. That was new
kind of river to me, but Mccartney said
the R,o Grande had of doing in places for
five or six months in the year. The water
was there, only it was flowing through
the sands under the channel instead. OF in

was good, but Mccartney said that would
never do unless l was willing to take my
chances of staying the1ea week or two;
that water sometimes came down the
channel, good deal Of 1t, and 1t would
be we'll to get across while we were sure
we could.

and l was thinking what an easy way 1t
was of fording river when of a sudden
the two lead mules were floundering in a
quicksand and the whole outfit came near
being drawn in. We got the two leaders
clear of the harness and then the other
two mules drew them out one at a time.
We hitehed them up again and by max

was 10 O'Clock and the moon had risen.
The mules had just began to climb the
bank, when he heard roaring noise up
the channel 1t came from wall of
water that stretched from bank to bank,
and was travelling toward us fast. 1t
looked in the moonlight to be four feet
high, and there was higher water behind
sending it ON. We didn't. need to holler
to the mules. They heard what was
coming and olawed up the bank like cats.
We got out all right, derrick and all-and
there were not three minutes to spare.
Before we had finished our supper tine
river bed was full, bank high, with a
current that eddied and roared as it
