Another said: "The strikers at first advancee the theory that the scareity of nails would soon compel some of the mills to resume. That alleged scareity doesn't seem to have been felt yet, for the Eastern Nail Association, which mot last week, voted against any advance in the card rato.

The Republican State Convention which reconvenes to-morrow, is made the subject of rtiuch cheap badinage and unreliable gossip which though forming pleasant reading, does not do justice to the gravity of the situation. Up to a late hour lost night but few delegates arrived, but those who appeared on the ground, confirmed the general belief that the Republicans of the State would be fully represented. Manv of the old delegates are here this morning, while many substitutes are registered. By to-night it is expected the old stagers will all be present.

Melville's search party first found the wreck and following along the bank they came upon a ritie barrel hung upon four sticks. (Here six words are unintelligible). They set the natives digging on each side of the sticks and they soon oome upon two bodies under eight feet of snow. While these men were digging toward the oast Melville went on along the bank twenty feet above the river to find a place to take bearings. He then saw a camp kettle and the remains of a fire about 1,000 yards from the tent, and approaching nearly stumbled upon DeLong's hand sticking out of the show, about thirty feet from the edge of the* bank. The same supply is common to almost every other line of iron manufactures. A batch of immigrants arrived in this city yesterday. Bv Telegraph to the Qazette.

Hakrisbi rg, June 20.—Up to one o'clock this afternoon not over fifteen delegates had arrived for the Republican Convention to be liejd to-morrow. Several of these are substitutes. The probable action of the convention is causing some talk at the hotels, and diverse views are expressed. An opinion prevails that the convention will adjourn without making a nomination for Congrcssman-at- Largo, and that a new convention, under new rules, will be held to fill the vacancy. Music. The Presbyterian people will have a strawberry festival this evening, in Tripp's building, on Wyoming Avenue. Sixty coal miners at Mansfield, Allegheny county, resumed work to-day at the old price of H cents. They struck for 4. It is said that all the other mines at Mansfield will be in operation by to-morrow on the old basis. The miners in that locality number about one thousand. Operators believe that this action breaks the backbone of the strike. Officers of the Miners' Association claim, on the other hand, that the break in their ranks is due entirely to local causes, and that it will have no effect on the general situation. R. T. McCabe was discharged from tho Receivership of the Anthracite Coal Company,on Saturday when he filed his report. Chairman Cooper arrived last night He believes there will be a la-go and interesting convention, and that the result attained will be harmonious. There is but little said as to who will probably be the candidate.

Crime Sporadic, and Set In Motion by For- While the convention will contain many substitutes men there will be no lack of good and aggressive material. Lear will not be there, and Marshall will not be there, and Cohen will not be there, and a number of men of much smaller calibre who were there before will not be there, but a convention that contains such men as Judge Kirkpatrick, of Easton, Judge Jessup, of Montrose, David Taggart, of Northmoreland, Martin Brosius of Lancaster, Messrs. Avery and Petit, of Philadelphia, cannot be so insignificant a body as the funny reports which the assistant Democratic papers send out would have us believe. The convention will be made up of as true a body of Republicans as probably ever assembled to do the work of the Republican party.

In this connection, Washington letter writers furnish interesting gossip touching what are presumed to be Senator Cameron's plans. It has been understood that Senator Cameron had privately advised Messrs. McManes and Rowan, of Philadelphia, that he desired to have a private consultation with them as to the effect a new convention would have on the political situation in Pennsylvania. In response to this invitation the gentlemen named went down on Saturday.

The instrumental part of the concert was very good, especially so was the piano solo, Recollection of Home, by Miss G. S. Smith, who will please accept of " Val's " compliments. The vocal exercises were far from being good, apparently all attention had been given to the training of the voice—articulation, accent and time very much neglected, as not one word of all that was sung could be heard, even in the centre of the room. The programme was as follows: A change in his programme was offered by him to this effect: The convention which adjourned on May 10 will again meet on June 21, as previously ordered, with a radical change which is supposed to have been effected by the influence of Messrs. Wanamaker, Cochran and Dolan. Instead of at once nominating a candidate for Congressman-at-Large in the person of Mr. Wanamaker, Senator Cameron announced his willingness for the Convention to adjourn without action other than a possible expression of confidence in the Stalwart integrity of the Senator and in the success ot the State ticket already in the field. It should then be announced that another Convention would be called on the second Wednesday in July. This is the date fixed in the platform adopted on May 10 for the meetings of all future State Conventions except in the year of Presidential elections. To this important concession'was added a still more valuable grant in the fact that Senator Cameron was willing to have the new Convention elected by the people at the primaries of the party, to be held a week prior to the meeting of the new State body. He detracted from the importance of this concession, however, by his expressed determination that the delegates to the new Convention should only vote for a candidate for Congressman-at^Large. The candidates already nominated, from Beaver down to Rawle, should remain on the ticket From this determination Senator Cameron would not recede step. Pitta ton Wholesale Markets.

During the day Secretary Murtin, of the Amalgamated Association, received a copy of the agreement according to which the mill at New Albany, Ind., has resumed work. By it the puddlere are to receive $6 per ton for puddling and the men in the finishing department are to be paid 10 per cent above the rate demanded in this district The agreement was signed two weeks ago, but, nevertheless, its receipt was made the most of in order that the courage of the masses of the strikers might be increased.
