SEA TURTLE CAUGHT.

This Chelonian After Capture was Re-
leased and Permitted to Paddle
Away
A sea turtle nearly two feet long and
fully a foot across the back was cap
tured by Central Vermont brakeman
named Smith off Fergusons old wharf
late yesterday afternoon. The chelo-
MAN was observed by several tugboat
men and others leisurely padding along
a few feet from the dock and several in
effectual attempts were made to cap
ture him.
Finally Smith got boat and borrow
ing q duck bucket from a tugboat, row.
ed out and secured the nondescript
specimen OF afamily that is described
as neither fish, flesh or fokI while dis
playing the characteristics of all of
them.
THE sea turtle is described as any one
of several very large species of chelo-
mans having the feet converted into
paddles, as the green turtle, haWkill,
loggerhead and leatherback, They in
habit all warm seas. This specimen
was pronounced to be a hawkbill and
had evidently strayed from some dis
tant point.
Its possessor exhibited him in several
places about the city in an effort to OBJ
tain dollar for this catch At one
place he was offered fifty cents and a
drink which he declined. and falling to
obtain what he asked, took the turtle to
the lighthouse department wharf and
returned it to its native element.-NeW

dumped in other parts of the city, only
to be consumed later or moved again.
Goods piled In the streets, only to add

With their progress stopped at the

SUSPECTED FROM FIRST.
OGicers Have Been Following Nc.
Bride In Order TO Get Evidence.

At the time of the big postoiiice rob-
berry here on the night OF July 3lst, all
the circumstances seemed to indicate
that the man who stole the registered
mail packages was cognizant Of the
workings Of the postotiice IL rs stated
that the description given of the man
who was seen in the alley on the night
Of the robbery tailed with a descrip-
ton OF Mcbride This coupled with
other circumstances known only TO the
officers, led them to follow Mcbride
with a view to obtaining evidence
against him. His arrest and detention
last night are the result of this suspi-
clon resting upon him.
1t Is claimed that Mcbride can estab-
fish an abb. He says that Mrs, j. r..
Wilson and daughter Of Logan can tes-
tify that he was In Logan on the 3lst
and that he went north with them on
the train from Logan, getting or at
Shoshone, and registering at MeCalrS
hotel In that city. In answer TO this,
II is said by the postal authorities that
Mcbride could have been In Logan on
the Slst and could have been seen by
the people he mentions, but that he also
could have come down here on the
train getting in at $3.50 p. m, committed
the robbery, and left for the north on
the train that leaves here at 1880. rms
Is only urged to show that McBride's
alibl can be punctured, not as claim
that he actually did this, for there Is
no proof

THE PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICANS.

Harrisburg, Pa. Aug. H.-Following
is a synopsis OF the platform adopted
by the Republican state convention;
In 1896, near the close OF the last
Democratic administration, the bust
ness interests Of the country were
postrated, capital remained uninvested
and labor was idle and unproductive.
The election Of Mckinley revived our
languishing industries and started the
nation ON an era OF prosperity such as
IL never knew before. We congratulate
the American people on the good sense
shown in the reelection OF President
Mckinley. His administration has met
every question with which II has been
confronted In a wise, patriotic and
statesmanlike manner In all the vexed
questions growing out Of the war with
Spain our national administration has
shown itself entirely capable and
worthy OF the greatest public conf
dence. Under this administration great
armies and navies were raised, our
flag was carried in honor and triumph
TO distant parts OF the world. and our
supremacy on land and sea sustained
until now we are recognized as one
OF the greatest world powers. We re-
gret that under such prosperous condl-
tions contests should arise between
capital and labor, but we hope and be-
,leve that these disputes win be finally
settled on an equitable basis that will
do full Justice TO the contendlng par-
ties. The right OF capital to make
proper and legal combinations has been
recognized by legislative enactments in
many OF the states and this carries
with Il the right Of labor to organize
In proper and legal ways for It's pro-
lection and advantage; but neither
capital nor labor has the right TO re-
sort TO violence or illegal methods 20
redress wrongs or obtain rights. The
spirit OF mediation and concession
should prevail in oil disputes between
capital and labor.
We are amused. rather than con-
cerned, by the declarations OF the late
Democratic state convention for wo

must, the corporation Of certain news.

their stale and false charges and sue
oeeded in having them adopted as
Democratic platform.
We believe In surrounding the press
with every constitutional guarantee
youchsafed 20 Il since the foundation
OF our government, but II is a menace
that these constitutional guarantees
should be so misused as to have ier-
m'tted many OF our newspapers 10 have
cegcutrated into a yellow journalism
such as is detrimental 10 any state or
country. We charge the so-callel yell
low journals with being subsidized by
the full page advertisements which
they carry. The advertiser is permitted
TO dictate their policy and at his 0ehost
these newspapers have perverted the
news columns and the editorial page
from bens an honest record OF daily
events TO a labored attempt TO misrep-
resent facts.
We ariaign the Democratic party as
Incompetent, Incapable, insinc IRE and
untrustwoTthy. The citizens Of our
state, within a very few days. have
witnessed spectacle seldom seen In

IOWA DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. H,-When the
Democratic state convention opened
this forenoon the name Of the man to
head the ticket was just as much
mystery as ever. Conferences were held
before the district caucuses convened
with view of securing II possible,
some unanimity Of action but so far
they have been without result, Another
conference is called for at noon. Dele-
cations called upon Cato Sells this
morning at his hotel requesting that
he reconsider his refusal TO accept the
nomination but Mr.. Sells declared that
he would not do so. Mayor Phillips Of
ottumwa Is most prominently men
toned of those in the field, but the i'm
preston prevails that the caucus Of the
leaders will pick new man who has
not yet been named
To all appearances the question Of re-
affirming the Kansas City platform Ia
the resolutions viii probably be fought
out on the floor Of the convention. The
opposing factions were unable to reach
any conclusion this morning after an
other conference and Cato Sells an
nounced that he would take the floor
for general reaiilrmation, maintaining
that the paramount issue IN Iowa was
railroad taxation, and that silver was
not involved In the campaign Both
sides will be heard before the commit.
tee on resolutions. The silver men, lea
by j. S. Murphy, demand that the con-
yention In specific terms approve the
silver plank Of the Kansas City plat
form, while the gold men maintain
that the resolution OF reaillrmatioh
should read. Resolved, That We en-
dorse the time-honored principles OF
the Democratic party" and that no
other mention be made OF previous
platforms.

Oil Fire Burning More Fiercely.

Philadelphia, Aug. 2l.-The big oil
FIRE at the Atlantic Refining company's
work at Point Breeze Is burning more
fercely today than at any time since
the first explosion occurred. Shortly
before o'clock this morning another
tank exploded, the force of the explo-
sion causing a big tank near Passa-
yunk avenue TO careen, the blazing oil
flowing over the street and forcing the
flremen to abandon that part Of the
works. The oil ran into the sewer
which empties into the Schulkill river
and the officials say the sewer Is a
raging furnace. All police boats that
were throwing water on the flames
have left so they viii not be caught
