Blattery, who waa on the rubber in the
Iirst game, pitched again on Batnrday and
outside of the sixth inning pitched a good

Th. looal team was greatly strengthened

T'wai saly a tlorie
About midnight last Friday Dfllceis
John It. din I anil James J. Quigley
noticed seveial men acting suspiciously
near Hector street anil tho alley Mow
Fayette. Upon the approach of the offi-cers
tho men separated, several going
down Hector street, the others passing
through the alley. The officers decided
to keep a close watch leal they return, but
after an hour had passed and nothing fur-ther
was noticed, Redmond and Quigley
Separated, each to coyer his district.
About half past one o'clock In the morn-ing,
as Officer Redmond was passing down
Ksyette street below Rector he heard two
pistol shots, the sounds of which came
from the rear of 81 Fayette street.
Without a moment's hesitation Bed

with Jacob Willow, manager of Mrs. Flsh-lieln's

In his hand, and when the ofllcer
leaped over the fence. Widow explained
that he heard some one prowling about
I he place and had llrotl the shots, hoping
to scare off the supposed burglars, or at-tact
the attention of the police.

that the "burglars" was Max Murgwlt/.'s

Philadelphia, Vug 8 i be RepvaU*
fan stale convention, which meets m
burg on the Mth mat, will hon-or
the surviving superior officer of the
"M«htlng T h" Pennsylvania volun-
Ueutenanl Colonel James Kltlnr
Barnett, of Waahlagton county, by
nominating him for slate treasurer.
!"• »hi tely declines to run.
There is uo doubt that were he alive
Colonel Alexander L. Hawkins, who
commanded the regiment, and whose
doath occurred on the transport re-turning
from the Philippines, would
rsoslvs this nomination. The party
leaden, from Colonel Quay down,
were prepared to support him for this
position. Since the death of Colonel
Hawkins, which Is generally deplored,
a movement has been started to urgs
Lieutenut Colonel Barnett to allow ths
use of his nanie for this office. Every-body
who Is Interested at all In Penn-sylvania
politics la commenting upon
the manly way |n which Colonel Bar-nett
has acted under existing circum-stances.
Ills prompt and emphatic rs-fusal
to allow his name to be consid-ered
in connection with the colonelcy
of the "Fighting Tenth" as successor
to Ihe late Colonel Hawkins, prefer-ring,
as he says, that the command
shall bo mustered out as "Hawkins'
regiment," and his unstinted pralae of
the sorvires of hla lute commander
and his devotion to his memory have
been the subject of general comment.
The political leuders have no Informa-tion
as to whether Barnett will con-sent
lo allow the use of his name In
connection with the state treasurer-ship.
His brief public statement on
this subject. In response to a news-paper
query, wns that while appreciat-ing
the compliment Intended In the
mention of his name, It Is a matter
which he could not pass upon without
due consideration. Barnett is known
to be us level headed as he is brave.
His brilliant work on the firing line
In the Philippines with Filipino bullets
whizzing nil round him v.-hlio he gal-lantly
lead his battalion into the thick
of the tight is but part of the glorious
history of the "Fighting Tenth." That
bullet shattered testament which in the
bnast pocket of the brave Barnett
halted an Insurgent shot and saved his
life is one ol the Interesting relics
brought home from Manila by the boya
from the Keystone state.
Unless an unqualified declination
shall he received from Colonel Bar-nett
his tame will be presented to the
state convention, and his nomination
by acclamation will certainly follow.
With Barnett at the head of the Re-publican
state ticket the coming cam-paign
will be an exceedingly Interest-ing
one.' He Is well known in tha Na-tional
Guard, with whici, he has been
connected for 16 years, having served
successively In the various grades from
private to his present rank. He Is s
member of the bar and n stalwart Re-publican.
He was deputy secretary of
the • commonwealth under Oenersl
Tteeder. and baa a host of friends
among the active Republicans through-out
the state.
Another nomination that will be
made by the coming stat" convention
has also boon virtually settled. Joaiah
R. Adams, of this city, will be named
for the superior court. Thsro is an un-doubted
sentiment In favor of allowing
the choice of the Philadelphia delega-tion
to bo named for this honor. It Is
Intimated that former Governor Hast-ings
would. If he thought he had a
chance to win out, lead a movement
for Justice Berber's renomlnatlon. The
fact that he has Invited hla former ssc-rnlsry
of the commoin, nlth. David
Martin, to he his guest at Bellnfonte
may have occasioned ths circulation
of a report Ihet Hastings seeks to sn-list
Mnrtln's Influence t.i behalf of
Beehnr. Friends of Counsellor Adams
say they have no fear of anything of
the kind, as they have hi; I assurances
for some time that the de'egatlon will
he a unit In favor of his c.-indldac*
Persistent efforts have been made In
the Insurgent newspapers to create the
Impression Hint Colonel Quay haa es-tlie
cause of J. Hay Brown, of
Lancaster, for the supreme court nom-ination.
This Is not true The manl-t>
I | urposs of the circulation of these
reports Is to array the friends of other
candidates against Colonel Quay. While
Mr. Brown's candidacy has Inherent
strength through his standing among
members of the bar, he hus not devel-oped
any considerable political follow-ing
up to date There has been an In-timation,
however, that friends of
Judge W. D. Porter, of Allegheny, are
beginning to suspect that the Mages
Influence Is secretly at work In favor
of Mr. Brown, instead of being exerted
In behalf of their home candidate,
Judge Porter. This may lead to com-plications
which may be favorable to
the nominal Inn of former Attorney
0 nil Palmer of_l.ur.erne. Judge Mor-rison
of MoKsan, Judge Archbald of
Ijackawannn or some of the other can-didates.

A DANGEROUS FIXTURE
Dobba Ferry. Dr. and Mr&. Keyes had
arranged to Btay over night at the
Casino.
From the accompanying sketch ii
will be readily understood how it WBI
that Dr. Keyes. caused the accident
which resulted in ttie death of hiin-.lf
and hla wife. The Caaino is equipped
with both electric and gun light, the
electric current having been in dee
on the evening In question. In turning
I off the key In the lamp socket It is
probable tiat Dr. Keyes" thumb or
ringer srtruck the gu* key1, whloh must
have been quite loose, and accidentally
turned It about three-fourthe around.
The result KM tbut sufficient gaa es-caped
to kill the two occupants of the
room.
The proper design for the i luna-tion
of electric and gas-light Axtnrea
Is a pubject of vital Importance, and
the location of the two respective keys
should be as far apart as practica-ble.
It seems to the Electrical Itevlew
that theclcslgner of a fixture of tbeaort
here sketched comes pretty near be-ing
guilty of criminal negligence.—
