From his corridor he could not see. but every sound could be Report of Sub-Committees-Several Contests Decided—Geo. M. Dallas, for President of the Convention. A Press correspondent writing at 11 o'clock last night, said: He expresses deep humility now. He quotes the Scripture, saying: "Except ye become as little children yo cannot enter the Kingdom of Hoaven." He says he hopes he has become as a little child, and as such will go to God, casting all things of this world behiud him. He has no more desire to live. He has done as his conscience dictated was right and thinks hift work is finished. He spoke with considerable mellowness and feelingly for the first time to-day, but without any breaking down or shedding of tears, savin at the same tinio that he had given up all desire for a reprieve. He says he don't want the President to worry atxnit his respite nor to interfere. nis only fear is that, at the last moment, the President may in obedience to fresh light from God that may Hash across him, and grant him a respite. He wants no request for his reprieve made to the President, for he wants no changes made in the programme of the execution of the law. But two hours ago it appeared more than probable that the parly banners would, after the convention had adjourned, bear the name of Paltison for Governor, Black for Lieutenant- Governor, Ludlow for Supreme Judge, Africa for Secretary of Internal Affairs and Morton F. Elliott, of Tioga, for Congrossman-at-Largc. Now, all this is changed, and the delegates arc once more adrift on a sea of doubt 28.—The Demoeraiio State Convention assembled in tlio opera house shortly attor ten# o'clock this luurning. Rumors woro afloat that Senator Kckly 13. Coxe had once more reconsidered his decision, aud liad finally determined not to permit his name to go before tlie convention. Those who were interested in Senator Coxe, either as straightforward friends or on account of his usefulness in breaking down the candidacy of Hopkins aud Pattison, strenuously denied the rumor, but it gained enough strength to give an air of decided 1111- ceriainty to the surroundings of the convention, when at 10:15 Chairman Bogert let fall his .gavel and culled- the delegates to order. llAUlUSBURO, Pii., June Harrisbcrg, Pa., June 28.—The Committee on Resolutions has adjourned and left to the two sub-committees the real work of the construction on platform and rules to report to AN INSANE HOSPITAL IN FLAMES. Panic Stricken Pai tents—1The Build Daksvilee, N. Y., June 27.—The water euro establishment of Dr. James C. Jackson, known as " Our Home," on a hill-sido in this place, took fire at 1 o'clock this morning and was totally destroyed. The Are was caused by the explosion of the boilor connected with the elovator. The building was filled with patients, all of whom were asleep at the time of the oxplosion. As soon as the cry of " Fire!" was raised, the patients became panic-stricken, and scenes of the wildest confusion ensued. They wore, however, ull removed in safety, and were cared for in surrounding cottages and the village hotel. A number of women fainted, and some had to be carried out on stretchers. It is asserted by some that the fire was caused by the explosion of & lamp Tn the room of one of the iwtients. The institution was the largest of its kind in the world. Ft was provided with a water works of its own, and there wore two tanks on the top of the hill containing several thousand gallons of water. The loss is estimated at $50,(100. The home will probably be rebuilt. Destroyed- —No Lives Lost.

The scaffold itself has been moved about four feet south in order to bring the new adjustment to the drop opposite the second celL This now adjustment is simply tho turning of the floor of the scaffold in the frame, so that instead of drop-, ping between tho swinging body and tho audience of officials and others, it will swing behind the body, exposing the latter to full view.

Ex-Mayor Vaux, of Philadelphia, is chairman of the suli-committce on platform and Mr. Hensler, of Lancaster, who is also chairman of tho general committee, is at the head of sub commit- The story of how this was brought about Is ono man's vascillation, and the uncortainity of politics. Early this evening there was an important change in the contest in the absolute refusal of Senator Eckley B. Coxe to acccpt the Gubernatorial nomination oven if it should bo thrust upon and this gave the Pattison movement an impetus that promised to accomplish success. Those who claim to know Senator Coxe best said tliore had never been any doubt of his position since the bravo words ho uttered in the Senate during the session of 1881. In the last forty-eight hours, however, statemouta and counter-statements concerning his alleged candidacy, have tripped on each other's heels. It was the un« known quantity in calculations. Tho owner of 25,000 acres of coal land insisted that ho was not a candidate, but his words were believed to cloak an intention to accept tho nomination should it be offered him tee on rules. An effort was made at the general meeting to restrict the platform to expressions upon State issue. Somo of tho membors agreed, however, in favor of condemning the political assessment scheme' of the Republican Congressional Committee, and of making distinct declarations as a plank for the Congressmanat Large to stand upon, while another wanted the tariff issue introduced. After general discussion tho subject was referred to the subcommittee, without instructions, but will be passed upon by tho General Committee, before being reported to the convention. In numtiora the convention was a full one and in quality much above the average. est way to cliange the direction of the fall, After prayer had been offered by Rev. Dr. W. 1'. Dill, a brother of Senator Dill, Mr. Uogari announced the convention ready for business. Workmon to-day were adjusting the halfinch rope which connects the spring of the trap with the individual who performs the duty of executioner. A four-inch square pine sjiout connects the cell window with the scaffold and conceals the rope from view. The rope passes Dmder the scaffold, whqro it turns a cast-iron pulley to the trap spring, which is loosened by an ordinary vigorous pull from within the second cell. In shifting the Hoor to-day several pieces were sawed from the flooring and these wen; quickly gobbled up by the correspondents present and borne away as relics. The suaffold is a plain square frame, constructed of Georgia pine, [minted a light drab. It is twelve fcut square, twenty-one feet from the ground to the cross beam to which the lianging-rope is attached. The Hoor is guarded by a railing three feet high and is' approached by fifteen steps.

It is probable that tho committee will also report a resolution thanking Juuge Sharswood for his long and honorable services to the State as a Judge of the Supreme Court Philadelphia, June 27.—"Army worms abput here? Well, I guess so," said a farmer in the vicinity of Mount Moriah, in the Twenty-seventh ward when asked that question by a Press reporter last night "They just about cleaned me out and then crossed the road and begun work on my neighbor's corn, and that is where the joke is." Just how the presence of this destructive insect could be a joke to any of the people it visits is difficult to tell, except to the basis that misery likes company. It is an undoubted fact that the army worm is present in that section of the city, and to listen to the farmers in that vieinity one soori disOQvers that the worm has made its presence known in a terri- lorial district. The content by Mr. Campbell was withdrawn in tho Sixth district, leaving ex-Mayor Vaux the delegate. Two other contests announced weiu in Senatorial districts, and some four or five iu representative districts. They were referred to tne committee on credentials. The committee on credentials unanimously threw out the contest raised by Burke in the First Senatorial district Trat of ex-Representative Marshall against Peter Monroe in the Third Representative district was weighed long and carefully, as its results wore narrowly watched by the Philadelphia peoit was regarded as a THE NEW TOBK STRIKES, As a matter of fact, Senator Coxe was simply taking advantage of the peculiar position in which he found himself to aid in the formation of what he considered tho strongest ticket The leading nominee, he was of opinion, should not be James H. Hopkins, or any other regulation candidate. He thought that tho cry of new men, representatives of new methods should prevail. Tho selection of such a man and tho defeat of Hopkins could best be secured by tho SHrrounding of Coxo's position with all manner of uncertainty. The fight waged so warm to-day, however, that he was forced to state his position, and it was positively announced that should he bo named in to-morrow's convention, he would positively decline to accept a nominaj tion. Another delegation tried in vain to have him reconsider this determination. Mr. Grath, speaking for the few Philadelphians who would prefer the devil to Pattison, and Senator Yerks, who talked for thoso who would look upon Hopkins' nomination as unwise, exercised thoir eloquence in vain. At onco Pattison stock went up with a ruBh, and the Hopkins people, who had nevor had any sort of organization, was thrown into confusion. A desporate effort was made by Pattison's opponents to start u boom for Judge El well of Columbia, but it appeared like a forlorn hope. It looked as though nothing would prevent the nomination of tho Philadelphia Controller, and tho Quakor City was also to bo given tho Supremo Judgeship, in order to see what she could do with two Reform Democrats on the ticket. YV lien tho name of Senator Coxe was called it was greeted with a round of applause. A_ (i. linmdage, of Wilkes-Barre. announced that lie appeared as a substitute for Senator (,'oxe.

It is just about two years ago that this dreaded insect invaded this section of the country and made sad work of the crops then growing. The farmers in that vicinity say that the insect is there now, in numbers far exceeding those of 1880. The farmers immediately around Mount Morinh Station, on the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad tljat suffered most, are those •Belonging to Andrew Thompson, Hamilton Farrell and Peter Yocum. The rye and timothy seem to have been most affected by the insects, as yet, and persons traveling along tho road cannot fail to notioe them diligently at work in tl\e adjacent fields. In the case of tl}o rye they have attacked the roots. One column will start, and, moving in a direct and regular course, will plow or dig its way across the field, taking every root of the grain as they go along. At the same time another column will move at right-anglos with the first column. They will work in this way until they have litorally cleaned out tho entire field. They at once move on to the next field, and the ravage they commit there will be exactly similar.

Milton Speer, George P. Kaercher, of Pottsville, and others of the warm frfends of the Luzerne County Coal King who succeeded in convincing Senator Coxe that his duty to the Democratic party was paramount to his personal interest in the 26,000 acres of coal and, the management of which now engages his attention. They extracted from him a pledge that he would accept the nomination for Governor should tho convention insist on his being a candidate. The appetite of the insect is eccentric in the extreme. They will pass from a field of grain tlioy have just dostroyed and commence work on corn or timothy, aud destroy them with just the same regularity and speed. Th6 farmers in that seetion have the greatest fear in regard to the corn. On account of the backward season, corn is not as far advanced as usual. The crop has been looking extremely well, however, but should the worm attack it while it is in it« present condition it will be almost entirely destroyed.

He has a large following in the coal region, and oven .the eight Schuylkill delogates are likely to vote for him, as their instinctivo lovo for Judge Bechtcl, who will not be nominated for Supreme Judge, will not prevent their espousing Coze's cause.

Coxe's danger rests in the fact that ho has angered some of his friends by his vacillating course and long-dolayed announcement, and besides, if he should exhibit too much strength early in tho convention, the Hopkin's delegation may rush to Pattison's support. The fact, however, that Coxo has been so much sought after and that there has been such great anxiety as to his course abundantly demonstrate the fact that he has a large following all through the State.
