PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS.
Preparations for the State c onvention to
be HsM To-morrow.
Harriabdrg, July 30.—The Democratic
convention which will meet here on Wed-
nesday will depart from the rule of political
party men in this State In several particu-
lars. There are few* of the old sragers
chosen to seats, though the representation is
very largely increased. Heretofore eonveri
tiona of each party embraced 250
delegates. The coming body will have
369 delegates, and the apportionment
is based oh the Democratic vote
cast at the last general election. There are
many candidates named or to re named
for the convention. But there is none so
consplciously strong as to give the im
pression of his suscess. For Auditor Gen-
arai—rB ujamte Whiteman and 7t' W.

Jefferson L.
Walker, of
Brown, of J£lk ; William H. Snow
den, of Lehigh; W. Hayes Greer, of
Lancaster, and George R. Goss, of West
Chester, are mentioned. For State Treas
urer the candidates are legion. They in
clude B. K. Jamison, of Philadelphia; Thos.
MacReynolds, of Bucks; B. McGrau, of Lan
caster; Joseph Powell, of Bradford, and
Richard Coulter, of Greensburg.
There has beeu an earnest effort to induce
the Speaker of the House, John L. Fauuce,
to enter ^he field, but. thus far he has not
yielded. In the absence of his name in the
conyentioo, the stronges' names are be
lieved to bp Powell and McGraw.
Powell began life poor; and earned
rLhes. He served one tertn in Con
gress and has strength and intellect and
character. McGrau is a farmer, railroad
contractor and banker. He inherited a large
estate and has multiplied It. He is of Irish
extrsntipn a man of great force and deserv
ing of populaiity. Jameson was born born
poor in western Pennsylvania. He worked
hard until he »«'.cumulated both money and
knowledge. He began banking in Philadel
phia, and now he enjoys 11 e in a national
way while still sticking to business.
Chall man Hensel arrived here to-night
and has the arrangement* pr the meeting

will assemble to-morroW evening to arrange

that Charles R. Buckalew will be given

What the Evening Chronicle say about the
Authracitea: 'The Authracite tk>ya are play
ing good ball with a hearty will and deter
mination to conquer each gam«. Each has
bf-rne himself as a gentleman ever since they
left home, and have been and are dolDg
everything to put and keep tl|iemr elves in
first-class physical condition, j The
agement would feel very comfortable if
this could be kept up while at home,
they hope It will, I but if it
does not it will not be the fault of
the boys themselves. It will be the fault
oftbat bold and iamlliar class of people
whose only way to show their appreciation
of good ball playing is by «bragging the
players into saloons, and too often lusisting
upon them drinking to excess. ^'hiaevH influ
ence has given the
trouble, has retarded the clolb's progress
more than all other influenci|»s combined.
It frequently has left the club in a crippled

He was arrested by Officer Cannon last
night, who found him asleep in Weidie's
shed, on Front street near Frelnch, with bis
horse standing alongside of hiib. The horse
was stabled at the Delaware h »use.
After the hearings Officer pimmons re
turned the attachment issued for the arrest
of Mrs. John F. Brainard, as a wltueas in a

the woman has left town! She had a
case

but allowed her to walk away again before

The officer in question walked up to the

THE SCHOOL. COAL. CONTRACT.
The Board of Education Got« Itself Into a
Troublesome Difficulty.
A special meeting of the Board of Educa
tion wa« called for last evenfug, and 13
members responded.
The «ail, signe*! by
Rodmond Smith ana
Samuel F. Betts, 8.
others, was read by
the secretary. Mr. Betts stated that there
was a hitch in the matter of fuel contract.
The committee misunderstood the matter
when it reported in favor of awarding the
contra t to the Jackson Lime and Coal Com
pany. The committee understood that the
bid Included Lehigh as well as Schuylkill
coal, but next day It was discovered that the
coal to be furnished as Lehigh was mined in
is. George W. Bush &
Warner A Co. ea'h put In
a claim for the contract as the lowest bid
ders fbr Lehigh coal. Mr. Betts thought it
best to refer the matter back to the Board.
He made a lengthy report of the corre
spondance with Jackson Lime and Coal
Company and of a conference he had with
Payld H. Kent, president, who offered to
substitute Lehigh coal at
moYe a ton. The company claimed
the contract and urged an immediate
answer. The coal was guaranteed
to Messrft. Beaton Brnith and Reeve,
of the committee, to be as good as any Le
high coal It. the market. The committee
wanted to experiment side by
Lehigh and Schuykill coals to i
the cheaper. Mr. Reeve explained that be
did not know much about coal before, but
that now the committee pr bably knew
more about the business thau the coal dealers
themselves. The Jackson Lime and Coal
Company bad told biin and Mr. Smith that
it was the Thomas Lehigh coal which was
as good ad any Lehigh coal sold in the city,
although it was mined in the Schuylkill re
gions. He thought it was just as good as
the; Lehigh coal famished from any yard
and that the company ought to have the
contract. There would not have been any
trouble if Charles Warner & Co. or George
W. Bush & Sons had received the contract,
but that when they fpund that the Jackson
Lime and Coal Company was the lowest
bidder they kicked up about it. He would
bave given $10 if he had never been on the
Fuel Committee. A motion of Mr. Betts to
reconsider the vote by which the contra *t
was awarded to the Jackson Lime and Coal
Company was then adopted, but afterward
no action was taken thereon.
Mr. Reeve then submitted a majority re
port signed by Mr. Smith and himself,which
favored the awardiug of the contract to the
Jackson Lime and Coal Company, claiming
that there bad been no misrepresentation. A
motion to adopt the report was opposed by
Mr. Bette and advocated by Mr. Reeve who
said that if the bid was not sustained no
one would bid hereafter except Bush and
Warner. The motion, gfter discussion, was
lost, and a motion made by Mr. Kyne to ask
for new proposals was adopted.
Mr. WiUey of the special committee
the new building of School 17 reported the
bids as published yesterday, and reported in

A Husband and Wife Pound Dead in Bed
—A Last Letter.
Nbw York, July 30.—The
iug In the house No. 211
seeond street were startled between 9 and 10
o'clock this morning by hearing the report
of two pistol shots proceeding from the front
room on the third floor, which was occu
pied by Mr. Horace B. Shephard and wife.
The door was tried and found to be locked,
and then the police of the West Twentieth
street station were notified. On the arrival
ol Policemen Clark aud Knolhof the door
was broken open.
The sight that met the gaze of the police
men and those of the occupants of the bouse
who followed them upstairs was horrible in
the extreme. On the bed, lu their night
dresses, lay Mr. Shephard and his wife, a
bullet wound in the right side of the head
of each, the bedding aud floor saturated with
their life blood, and a 42-calibre Smith &
Wesson revolver with two chambers empty
lying between them. When the bodies were
examined it wat found that life had been
extinct several minutes, though the body of
the man
entered the house a few mnureute later and
made a thorough examination of the effects
of the deceased.
The only thing found that bore any rela
tion to the tragedy was the following letter
which was addressed to Rev. P. L. Shephard,
Saybrook, Conn.:
July, 20. 1883.— My Dear Father and
Mother: Kittle and I were secretly married.
There will be nothing revealed of the cere
mony. We have been very happy together
la life, bqt we will be happier in death,
Which seems so'pleasant. Our last wish and
request is that we raav rest together. With
all our love and devotion we are your affec
tionate son and daughter.
Kittib and Horace Shbfhard. •
It will be seen that for over a week they
had deliberated upon the question of sui
cide, but had not finally determined upou
it till this morning.
Mr. and Mrs. Shepperd were known very
little about in the bouse in which they
sided. They arrived there on the 28d
last May, and hired the room which they
died in, merely as a furnished room, taking
their meals outside. Yesterday they left
the house early in the morning and did not
return until late at .night. Mr. Sheppard
was in the employ of the Herring Safe Com
pany; No. 252 Broadway, for the past three
years as shipping clerk. Ife was highly re
spected by his employers and considered to
lie a young man of excellent character and
principles.

THE TKLMjRlPB STRIKE.
The Situation In New York and Other
Cities.
New York, July 30.—The threats made
by the Brotherhood of Telegraphers that
unless the companies should show forae
signs of yielding the railroad operators
would he ordered out have not apparently
created much apprehension in telegraphic
circles The only demand thus lar made
by the Brotherhood ; It te said, Is that the
railroad operators should not be required to
lake Western Union business.
The force at the Western Union office to
doy had been in teased by five <Je ertera
from the Brotherhood, who had ap. MedTbf
work.
Notices have been posted in the telegraph
offices of the Long Island fo'lway that mes
sages will only be received "subject to Ate

AC a special meeting or Bricklayers'
Union, No. 4, held to-night, it was resolved
give $2 0 to the fund of the Brotherhood
of Telegraphers and to give $100 each week
during the continuance of the strike.
San Francisco, July 80.—The theatrical
performance given last evening at the Grand
Opera House ftr the beuefit of the striking
operators, under the auspices of the
Knights of Labor, netted $3,000. The gross
receipts were about $8,500.

AFFAIRS IN PHILADELPHIA.
Philadelphia, July 81.—The situation
relative to the strike of the telegraph
tors remains the same. The Western Union
and Baltimore and Ohio Companies have
made
of the differences,
former company said yesterday: "We will
be able to get along with our present force
for at least three months before we will he
compelled to give In. If the strikers can
hold out for that length of time they will no
doubt win." Manager Jones said that the bus
iness of the day was the heaviest transacted
any day since the trouble began, and that it
was handled expeditiously and in good style.
Dispatches were received from Lock Haven,
Cape May, Hagerstown, Lantaster and Wil
liamsport, stating that there had been an
increase of business at all these points, and
that it was in good shape.
Mr. Jones will go to Harrisburg to-day
with experienced operators and will be
joined by Superfnteuden Zeublin, who will
supervise the press dispatches at the Demo
cratic State Convention. Mr. Jones said
yesterday that the public confidence in t e
ability of the company to handle telegrams
is being restored, and this accounts for the
increase of work. The places of the strikers
are being gradually filled whenever men can
be found who «re competent to assume
them, and the new men are given to under
stand that their positions are to be perma
nent. Inducements are still held out to all
those who desire to return, and their griev
ances will be listened to* However, «ans
of Che Brotherhood men bothered themselves
yesterday concerning this privilege.
The Western Union Company pays its em
ployee twice a month. Upon the 15th they
receive one-third of the month's salary, and
at the end the rest. To-day all the strikers
will be entitled to the residue of their com
pensation for the first half of July and four
days pay. The Brotherhood has hit upon s
plan to prevent the men from calling at the
offices for their money, fearing that some.of
the weak-kneed might be induced to return
to work. Orders have been Issued by the
Brotherhood forbidding any member going
to the office, and t-tating that all the salaries
will be paid by the Brotherhood and the
operators can draw tfieir money from the
companies when the strike is ended. The
money will be paid to-morrow at the head
quarters, at the southeast corner of Eighth
and Walnut streets.
A GLIMPSE OF THE OPERATING-ROOM.
A visit by a reporter to the main operat
ing-room of the Y\ T estern Union Company,
t he top story of th 0 * build in at Tenth and
Chestnut streets, yesterday, show the ma
terial that was manipulating the wires.
Every chair was filled and each desk covered
At the first glance it seemed like a primary
rahool. There were a few meu and women
in the apartment, but the gratter part of
those at the tables were lads. Some did not
appear to be more than 12 or 15 years of
age. They were all hard at work, and the
keys rattled as merrily as if they were iu
more expert hands. Manager Jones
and his assistants paced the floor,
giving assistance first, to this opera
ator and then to another. When the
reporter appeared 100 heads bobbed np from
behiud the small partitions to obtain a
glance at him. A fey of the operators who
have been brought from the country are be
ing housed and led by the company, while
others are making money at overtime.
No matter which way the trouble
results gn effort will be made to reward
all those who remain faithful. The
persons who did not go out are working at
the same rates and hours ks heretofore; but
it has been hinted to them that in the dim
future there will be a revision of the rules
of labor and compensation for the benefit
of the employes. These vagué hints are re
garded by the strikers as sugar-coated pills
only good i nough for "plugs" and "chair
warmers," as they designate those who are
at work.

London, July 80.—It wat announced in
Parliament this evening that James Carey,
the Phœnix Park informer, bad been shot at
Port Elizabeth, Africa, yesterday,
mors that he has been hiding in Montreal
are thus dispœed of. The report of the
shooting of Carey caused intense excitement
in the west end of London and in the House
of Cornu uns.
According to the news received here Carey
was shot by a man named O'Donnell, while
landing from a steamer at Port Elizabeth.
Carey sailed on Messrs. Donald, Currie <fe
Co.'s mail steamship Kinlauas Castle,which
left Dartmouth on the 6th instant for Cape
Town. O'Donnell took passage on the same
steamship. At Cape Town she transferred
her passengers who were destined to Port
Elizabeth, Natal, and other coasts porte to
the steamship Melrose. O'Donnell foilowed
Carey upon the Melrose aud as he
ing the vessel shot him. O'Donnell is in
custody. The government had taken
special and expensive measures to protect
Carey.
The Daily Telegraph says that the govern
ment have little doubt that Carey was fol
lowed from Dublin. They believe that the
Fenians had taken most elaborate measures
to prevent his escape. According to the
latest accounts the murder occurred at
