Attorney James L. Lenahan, one of the counsel for the defense, made a brilliant closing argument and he was never hear to better advantage. He closely covered every feature of the case and contended that Biango had merely acted in self defense and in order to protect his wife from meeting a tragic death. He claimed that the evidence warranted a verdict of acquittal."I cannot accept," said Mr. Gibboney, "a nomination, the Integrity of which is questioned even in part. Though but a single vote for me was shown to have been corruptly procured I should decline to accept a nomination thus tainted. I ask you to notify the City party convention that I decline the nomination made on Tuesday last. I notify you thus promptly in order that nothing may Stand in the way of prompt action by the convention in the premises." He will attempt to bring about the nOml notion for governor of LewU Stuyvesant Chanler, the Hearst candidate for lieutenant governor, unless Us quickly tluds that the leaders will uo1 listen to the proposition, it is said.

His purpose Is to confer with William ,T. Conners and other up stats leaders about the new scheme. Republican Candidate for Terrible Storm Visits Assistant District Attorney Evan C. Jones made his debut in delivering the closing address at a murder trial, and he acquitted himself in an able manner. His contention was that the murder was deliberate and cold blooded and that Hiango had killed his father-in-law and then tried to kill his wife, the only eye witness. He summed up the large amount of evidence in a masterly manner and his address was followed closely.

The whole Subject was referred to a committee composed of three Shoyer, three Gibboney and one neutral delegate, the latter being chosen by the six who were appointed by the chairman of the convention. Judge Wheaton's charge to the Jury thoroughly covered every part of the evidence and minutely explained every feature of the law and testimony. Murphy's Idea, It Is sold, Is to knock the bottom out of the Hearst forces and demoralize the ticket. He believes' that by such a stroke he could repeal the conditions brought about by the Grout-Fornos coup. He Is reported to« pride himself upon that episode as th« chief achievement of his career as Tammany leader. The mediators have sifted the grievances of the Liberals and define them as a demand by the Insurrectionists for new general elections and on absolute rejection of thoee demands on the part of the government. Only Two Members Were INDIGNANT FARMERS. Opposed to Him. Mayor Weaver was notified of the appointment of the committee and was requested to appear last night at the City party headquarters. He left his oilice in the city hall at once and went to meet the committee. Arriving at the City party headquarters he was met by W. R. Xjongstreet, the neutral member of the convention committee. After waltrng more than an hour for the other members of the committee to appear, he left for his suburban home. Five minutes after his departure the committee reached headquarters apd announced that the investigation of the mayor's allegations would be taken up today and that both Shoyer's and Gibboney's political managers would be asked to testify.

Taft aud Bacon have practically abandoned hope of finding a middle ground aud fear that a decision in favor of either side would result In no more than temporary tranquility for the Island.

The Dauphin county court having yesterday handed down an opinion to tftf effect that no nomination f.Dr Congres1 was made by the recent Republican county convention, thus leaving a vacancy on the ticket, It remained for the county committee, under the party rules, to meet and select a candidate to ti»l the vacancy. Chairman HtfCeron last night issued a cati for the county committee to assemble this afternoon at 2 o'clock at the oflice of the county treasurer, in the court house, for the purpose of naming a candidate.

Chairman Edmonds maintained that the convention was able to manage its own affairs and on motion appointed six delegates who selected a seventh to investigate the mayor's charges. Mayor Weaver's communication to the convention was accompanied by copies of 18 affidavits made by delegates charging bribery and attempted bribery. One of these was the affidavit of J. Stanley Urquhart, a delegate of the Twentieth ward, charging that he saw a man pay another $10 to change his vote from Shoyer to Glbboney.

Mrs. Hlggins to Decide For Him, The market place business on North Main street has been a nuisance for a long time past and has been growing worse. About a month ago one of the fifficers ordered all the farmers and the hucksters to the Carbondale road. They did not observe the new order for more than a few days and were soon back at the old stand. They gave as an excuse that the CarbondMe road was unhandy and the officials then decided to make a market place of Dock street, near Hughes' ale The arsenal, which was the stronghold of the Spaniards, has been badly damaged.

For the past few days the officers have been quietly notifying the farmers of the new place, but the latter a/pparently paid little attention. Officer McGarry, under orders from the mayor that the road must be kept clear at all costs, ordered all _ the farmers to move on this morning. They responded generally, but several stopped a short distance below the prescribed block. These were ordered to move on farther and the officer kept shooing them down the street until he reached a spot outside the People's Shoe Store, where the wagon of a farmer named Newton was standing. The farmer was standing close to the curb talking and the officer went up to him and ordered him to drive on. The farmer started to argue the matter and couldn't see why he should move any farther. The officer jumped on the wagon and drove the team down to the city hall, and when Newton followed him he was placed under arrest. New York. Sept. 22.—The Rev. Dr. Charles H.

It was given out at the hour of his appointment that Chairman Gordon was inclined to take a neutral stand as regards the Congressional candidacy, which probably accounted for his absence from the committee meeting.
