possessed of considerable wealth. Del amater aspired to the Governorship Behind him was Quay. although it was not until the eye of the convention that the latter showed his hand in the open. Then Dick Quay, the Senator's son, suddenly appeared in Harrisburg and declared that to vindicate his father Delamater would have to be nominated.
 Senator Quay was in Beaver. By means of a leased wire he was in con stant communication with Dick" at Harrisburg.
 Once ins the field young Quay set about to secure the nomination of Del amater on the first ballot. Fighting day and night the Hastings forces were about to prevent any nomination on the first ballot, but on the second Del amater won. receiving 105 votes to 59 cast for Hastings.
 The same convention nominated Col. Louis A Watres for Lieutenant Gov ernor and Thomas J. Stewart for Sec retary of Internal affairs, and they were elected.
 The forcing through of Delamater In the Quay convention was sufficient to give him the nomination. but this much only. In all parts of the State there was evidence of re- volt.
 It was the late State Senator Chris" Magee who struck at Delamater in Al leEheny County. and so shaped things

NEGROES LIFE SAVED
GOVERNOR COMPUTES SENTENCE
 OF MURDERER.
Lon PFater, Scheduled to Hang at Gadsden, August 2S, VIII Spend Rest Of Life fin
 Prison.

Lon Prater, a negro, sentenced to hang August 23, in Gadsden. will not have to mount the scaffolA
 He will, however. unless he escapes or is later pardoned by the Governor, spend the rest of his days on earth at hard labor.
 This Governor Conner decided late yesterday afternoon after clemency had been recommended by the Board of Pardons and had been urged by a great number of the best citizens of Etowah County.
 Prater, a negro youth, was convicted in the September term, 1906, of &he murder of Arthur Blunt, a negro.
 The killing followed a row in sa- loon, which ended in a fight. The fight was renewed in the street in front of a pool room. and when 1t was over, Blunt was a dead man. Prater was sentenced to hang.
 Powerful influences, however, were brought to bear in his favor. It was proven that he had been threatened by Blunt and that Blunt was a negro of blood thirsty character. Prater,s reputation was that of peaceful, hard-working negro boy.
 The Governor, in committing the sem tence, said:
 ''Etowah County. Lon Prater. Sen fenced to to hung. On account or youth of said Lon Prater and the great provocation, commute his sentence to life imprisonment at hard labor. Let communication issue as above."

Veteran Drummer Giues Aduice
 on HoU fo OutUif Mosquitoes.

Everyone knows "ColoneP' Mike Colonel has a national reputation. and for that reason the little Alabama town in which he dwells, where he has his being. Is proud of him and sincerely grateful for its share in his life.
 Colonel Mike is now drummer. He has worked at other things. to be sure, but that's what he Is now, and the best suited profession in which he has labored
 Every year or so the Colonel comes to Montgomery. and this fact is the occasion of this article. Comfortably seated in a cozy chair at one of the local hotels. surrounded by several who were "on to" the Colonel, the vet eran leicester was yesterday telling his friends of his greatest experience.
 "As you know" he started off, T have had occasion to work at about all of the trades and professions, and have at last settled down to drum ming waresi In my youth, when I was more active than now, served as undertaker's apprentice. Graduating from this, kept grocery store in my native town. Several years later was willing away my days in Un- tied States fort, and after this. in suc- cession, I served as an academy conn mandant, an artist. hotel proprietor, post office clerk. saloon keeper and Mayor. In all l met with success, and during this time. of course, met with a number of reverses, and scores of experiences.
 But what started out to do was to tell you my greatest and most sue cessful experience. I have been in love, and because of the fact that I looked upon my sweetheart as too great a paragon, because of the fact that was too much engrossed in a contemplation of her graces and wiles. because of all these--I am now a bachelor. That. my friends. was a severe stroke which married her to another. and which occasioned this premature badness In a gentleman of sixty years.
 T have been given up for dead. On one memorable occasion was buried alive. On another was reported as shipwrecked. On another had to un- tremendously leave the country of the Boers. simply because an African mother desired me to wed her prin- cess daughter. All of these were fairly exciting, but not half so much as

A STRING OF FATALITIES
Which Have Attended old Qua
 Workers.

Which, Have Attended old Quay Philadelphia Special to New York Times.
 Georga W. Delemater's suicide in Pittsburg yesterday has added one more name to the long list of men promi- pentIy identified with the Quay regime in Pennsylvania, who died by their own hands or with broken hearts. Some of the more notable of these men were:
 Walters. J. Blake, C1earfield County cashier in State Treasury; suicide.
 Moves, Amos, C.. Clinton County. State Treasurer; died from broken heart because of disgrace.
 Lively. William, Allegheny County, State Treasurer; fled in disgrace to the west, where he died from a broken
 Haywood, Benjamin J., Mercer Coun- ty. State treasurer; died from grief following disgrace.
 Hart. William B.. Daughpin County, State Treasurer; died under strain.
 Hopkins, John S., Philadelphia, cash fer of wrecked Peoples Bank; suicide.
 Norris, A, Wilsoon, Philadelphia, Auditor General; died from worry.
 Clark. T. Lee, Allegheny, cashier of wrecked Enterprise National Bank; suicide.
 DeIamater. George W, State sena- tor and defeated candidate for Cover nor; suicide.
 All these men were dominated by inc late Senator Quay, who as the po- litical boss of Pennsylvania for many years. controlled the State Treasury as one of the most valuable assets of the machine.
 Banks together throughout the State were made depositaries of State funds only by Quay's permission and favor. Renefciaries of these funds were oft en required by the State Treasurer af- ter consultation with the United States Senator to make loans or discount notes for men or groups of men who had proved useful to the Quay regime. If was an intense strain upon many of the treasurers to keep track of these notes of favored politicians and pro- feet their own good names. Not few Treasurers and their trusted employees succumbed to this pressure.
 The nomination of George Wallace Delamater for Governor by the Repub- Iican state Convention in 1890 was forced by Quay. Delamater's defeat by Robert E. Pattison. the crash of the Delamater Bank at Meadville. and the criminal prosecution combined to form one of the most spectacular of the po- litical financial tragedies of the Quay regime in this State.

that the latter went down to defeat af- ter a hitter fight.
 Before bis defeat DelamRter was liberal cohtributor to campaign funds. While 9 candidate he continued to pour his wealth into the campaign treasury A liberal spender. he turn ed his purse upside down and told the leaders to ego the limit to insure his election. Jfst how heavily the cam paign had cut into pelamatsr's wealth was not realized until his bank at Meadvilla went to the wall.
 Crushed by his defeat at the polls and the disgrace attending the coll lapse. of his bank, Delamater was un- able to meet the failure of a railroad enterprise and g succession of other reverses which followed. His fortune was gone, bis health was greatly i'm paired, and in every sense he was a broken man.
 Criminal proseeutions were instituted against Delamater in connection with the wrecking of the hank but the jury was unable to agree upon a verdict. After hts defeat for Governor. Dela- mater made no attempt to reenter pol- ltics. Quay at once threw him over board. and others who labored to secure his npminatlpn at the instance of Quay dripped him inr a night He was not only submerged In misfortune and dis appointment, but deserted by his foie mer associates

 decided that temporary suspension was one of the main feature in solving a more or less difficult problem.
 The editors and writers who conn posed the life blood of The. Daily State look with entire confidence upon the action of theFreceiver; while the vast constituency of readers may un- derstand in this sudden suspension, that instead of death, 1t may be compared to the visit to near foreign parts of a dear friend.

 The men who bore the brunt and burden of the hardships involved in the publication of The Daily State for the past two months displayed nerve of iron and faith that bordered almost on the sublime.
 Backed to the last ditch they la- bored on. working with a yill and de- termination that should move noun tains. They feel they shall have their reward.

 The notice of the receiver follows:

CARRIED CHICKENS WRONG.
Negro Boy Let Their Heads Hang Down
 and Lands fn Jail.

Because he carried chickens with their heads hanging down, Herman De Vaughan, a negro boy, IA years of age. is locked up at police headquarters. The arrest of the negro youngster was made by Special officers Taylor and Murrell.
 The ordinance violated by Herman is numbered 964 in the City Code, and is as follows:
 Any peddler of noultry, or other person who carries fowls through the streets of the city held by the legs with their heads hanging down, must on conviction, be fined not less than $1 nor more than $10O."
 Herman was alleged to have violated the section to its fullest extent. car rying the chickens in an inverted po- sition until nauseated.
 It is alleged that the negro was asked by a Montgomerian who saw the sickness of the chickens to change their positions, but that he refused.
 After being given severe lecture and wrning, the boy was let off with @ fine of S1 aSd costs.

this experience which I am now going to relate to you. and which Is the ac- me of all my glorious achievements.
 This story has to deal with mos quitoes.j It happened in this way A few months ago had to travel town of Northern Alabama, one in which I had not previously worked. and of course I hardly knew where to stop for the night. I selected what look ed to me like the least mosquito ire quented hostelry. and the largest room in the building.
 The room had two beds in it. I selected what looked to me like the best, lighted the gas only for a mo- ment and piled In.
 Just as I did with a mighty rush, several battalions of the pests fell up- on me, swarming and expanding their chests, and denouncing me in all sorts of threatening terms. Not only that, put me to thinking. Says to myself, but they also ate me. and that's what Now for little strategy" I got to thinking and this is the outcome of 1t.
 Hastily springing from the bed,I made dash for the door. leaving 1t little open on purpose, The mosquitoes, of course. thought that I Had left the room. and most of them, accordingly, chased down the corridors in hopes of catching Up with me and getting a final bite. am lovely fruit for any mosquito,
 well. seeing that I had eluded most of the miscreants. I crept with all pains back to the room, careful ly and noise1essiy shutting the door behind me, and stole into the other bed. which I h.d at first scorned. All in the room was dark. and of course the beasts couldn't see -me, and if they smelt at all 1t was to them as a lingering impression of my former at- tendance in their midst
 Those of the mosquitoes who had remained in the room I heard ever and anon growing, as if expecting me to come back where had left my clothes. But kept very quiet. and because of it got the best nights rest ever had My success in eluding the mos quitoes, think, Is undoubtedly the best experience I ever had. and one that am the most proud of,
 The Colonel looked around impress sively at the group.

FEE FOR FILING BIG
 MORTGAGE IS REDUCED
Only Small Portion of seaboard Air Line in Alabama, and Tax
 Levied is Cut to S130.05.

The State Board of Compromise at a meeting yesterday fixed the amount of mortgage filing tax due the State by the Seaboard Air Line on the $1,- 3o0.0oo mortgage recently filed in Bir- mingham.
 The board composed of the Cover nor. the Attorney General and the Au- ditor. ruled under the opinion of the Attorney General that the Seaboard Air Line could be taxed only on that amount of the mortgage which applied to the holdings in Alabama.
 Under the mortgage filing tax law, fee of fifteen cents on each $100 mortgage Is charged. The mortgage of the Seaboard was for $1,300,000. Of the total mileage of 2,sos of the Sea board. only 190 miles is in Alabama. Taking thIs as 8 basis of proportion, the Board held that of a. mortgage for s1,s0o.o0O. ss7.ooo was taxable in Ala bama.
 The Seaboard was therefore called upon to pay $13o.65.
