LINCOLN PARTY TO NAME TICKET
First Convention Was Held Today al
PhiIadeIphia-Lewis Emery Will
Be Governor Candidate.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 31.-The
first state convention of the Lincoln
party met at Musical Fund hall this
forenoon to perfect it's arrangements
for the coming campaign and to nomi-
nate a state ticket. The convention
has been set for one week ahead Of
the date of the republican convention
for the double purpose of giving ex-
preston to the desire of the new par
ty to preserve it's independence from
any republican influence and to force
the republicans, if possible, to endorse
the candidates selected by the Lincoln
party.
The forenoon was devoted to the
preliminary work of the convention,
the appointment of committees, etc,
and the nominations will not be reach
ed until some time this afternoon. 1t
is believed in we'll informed circles
that Lewis Emery, Jr., Of Bradford,
will be nominated for governor, but
there are enough who favor Associate
Justice John Stewart to make a lively
contest probable. Bayard Henry, Of
Philadelphia. seems to be the choice
for lieutenant governor; Robert K.
Young, of Tioga, for auditor; General
Isaac D. Brown, of Erie, for secretary
of state.

A PROFESSOR OF FLEAs.
Odd Profession in France TROUBLES
of One Of the Impresarios.

Odd Profession in France Troubles
of One Of the Impresarios.
Among the curious professions
which one meets with in this country
from time to time is that of professor
of feas What the professor trains
his alert pupils to do cannot imagine,
writes the Paris correspondent of the
London Globe, but every now and then
at the shows which camp on the out
skirts of Paris the flea professor has
his booth.
One of these strange impresarios
named Jocolino lately took up his resi-
dence in a lodging house in the Rue
st. Charles. Unfortunately Jocolino's
pupils multiplied with far more rapid
ity than he could train them to be we'll
behaved, with the result that their
active disposition led them to explore
the adjoining rooms of the lodging
house, where they performed on their
own account.
Their visits were not to the liking
Of the neighbors, and Jocolino was
obliged to listen to some very forcible
circumstances on the subject. The
nuisance. however, did not abate, and
finally one of the tenants, a plumber
named Sauvin, decided to take the
matter into his own hands. Armed
with large quantity of insect powder,
the irate plumber entered Jocolino's
room in the absence Of the professor
and sprinkled the exterminator in all
directions
While he was so engaged, however,
the flea trainer returned, and mistak-
ing the plumber for a burglar seized
revolver and shot him In the head.
Sauvin is now lying in hospital and
the trainer of the lively fsa is in the
hands of the police.
