PENNSYLVANIA STILL FOR GRANT.—Senator Don Cameron has returned from his visit to Philadelphia and wasin bis seat to-day. He says the reports of an extensive revolt In the Pennsylvania delegation to Chicago are not true; that he has investigated the affair thor- oughly, and that he ts confident the delegation will vote as instructed, for Grant; that a few of the delegates—not over half a dozen—may dis- Tegard instructions and vote for Blaine, but the revolt will not go beyond that. He beileves Grant will get them all. His report of the re- sult of his trip to the other Grant leaders was: “Everything 1s satisfactory in Pennsylvania.” THE ADJOURNMENT QUESTION AGAIN, —The Committee on ways and means to-day adopted a resolution providing for final adjournment on the 3ist of May. The vote was six favoring that date and four against it. The prevailing impression about the Capitol is that the ad- journment will take place at some date In ad.

Said he, “The maintenance of the rule will not hurt Tilden, and be has all ena been in favor of eeoaing by it. The tuvariable custom in na- ‘tonal democratic conventions has been to re- ‘spect the will of the majority whenever tt de- claved itself, Whenever a candidate has ob- tained a majority lis strength has been aug- mented on the very next ballot by votes enough to give him two-thirds, and so it will be with ‘Tilden. Just as soon as he gets a majority vote —and he’s sure to do it, mark ny word,—dele- gates enough will change over to him ‘to give iim the nomination under the two-thirds rule. ‘Take the Pennsylvania delegation for instances. ‘They will vote neariy solid for Tilden when he is shown to have the support of a majority of the convention.

The station of Major Jared A. Smith, corps of en; tem) hy from Indian- Judge Field’s Presidential Prospects Judge Hastings and Mr. Mhoon, two very prominent democrats from California,registered at the Ebbitt, described the democraticsituation about as follows: “Judge Field can carry Call fornia by ten thousand majority against any candidate the republicans can name. Caltfornta is democratic when the party is united, and it would be united with a will on Field. The coast isenthusiastic for him. Five of the six Oregon delegates to Cincinnati were elected as staunch Field men and the sixth is understood to be for him. | There were no instructions there for Til- den, because the people are for Field, and none for Field because his friends do not want to an- tagonize Tilden; but the delegation is for Field strong and all over. California will follow with a Field delegation, but probably without in- structions, and for the same reason. We believe that his nomination would reconcile all differ- ences in the democratic party from Maine to California. He fs a hard-money mag, ciean,clear of ail factious fights, neither Tammany nor ant'- Tammany, and could carry New York. He isthe westernmost of western men, and will be acceptable to the west. He was a determin- ed Union man, and lead in the fight to hold California from breaking away; but he never voted any ticket but the democratic ticket since he was born. We elses on that coast that he is especially strong in the south. He began as early as 1866 to subject the vicious legislation of the reconstruction period to the coastitu- Uonal test. The test oath decision rendered then not less than his recent ‘election law” and “ jury case” opinions exhibit the breadth and Jacksonian nature of his statesmanship. ‘The south knows what It owes to him and will not be slow to pay the debt. Califoraia has never failed him. When he was last a candi- date she rolled up a phenomenal majority for him. She has not forgotten that he was one of those who planted her institutions; tyat to him she owes her liberal exemption JawS, her mining laws, and many of the wholesome con- ditions under which the young commonwealth grew to ber present proportions, If the elec- voral votes of the Pacific coast are needed for the election of the democratic candidate, let Judge Field be nominated, and he will get them. ‘alifornia will send a straight-out Field delegation to Cincinnati.” The District in Congress.

Senator Harris yesterday introduced in the Senate a bill authorizing and directing the Dis- trict. Commissioners to audit and settle the claim of the trustees of the Louise Home for grading and regrading work done and materiais used in the improvement of Massachusetts avenue, between 15th and 16th streets north- West, and for damages to the Home caused by the change of grade, if any ages was done: sald Claim to be audited on tit same principle, and if anything found due paid in same manner as Other Claims of adjacent property. Society Notes, The Secretary of State entertained a distio guished company on the Tallapoosa to-day. He invited the President and family,the members of the Cabinet and others, to meet the diplomatic corps, and enjoy with them an excursion to Mount Vernon. There were many regrets that so Many of the diplomats are absent. M adame Outrey, who is irresistably Charming at such parties, had to decline the invitation, owing to other engagements. Baron Meyer, who is also agreeable, was missed. The Baron went toNew York to meet the Austrian Archduke and accompany him to Niagara. A fine ban- quet was served on tae Tallapoosa, and the Ma- rine band furnished the music. Among other Patriotic airs played by the band was Widdows’ new national anthem, “O, God! Preserve the Union,” which elicited the highest commenda- Uon, Among the distinguished guests on the excursion were Mr. and Mrs. Howells, who are now guests at the White House. Several of “the wives of members of the Cublnet received yesterday.

This fact gives many republicans hopes of carrying that State this fall with a strong presidential ticket in the field. Were it not that Mr. Hayes is pledged asa part of his views of civil reform not to be his own successor, there is no man in the country who would make a stronger run as the republi- can standard bearer.—Providence Press, In Illinois yesterday Montgomery county elected 6 Grant delegates, Logan county 7 for Blaine and Whitesides county 9 for Washburne. Whitesides is in the Galeaa (Grant) district, and its action settles the complexion of the dis- Wict delegation. “He would make a very good presiding officer ata vestry meeting,” said Associate Justice Field of H. B. Payne, a rival candidate for the democratic nomination.—Springieid Rep. Four state conventions were hed yesterday— three republican and one democratic. The Michigan and West Virginia republican con- ventions instructed for Blaine, and Fiorlda de- clared for Grant. ‘The Wisconsin democrats did not instruct their delegation to Cincinnati for anybody. The day’s work on the republican side added 32 delegates to the Blaine column and only Sto the Grant boom. At this rate Grant will not get votes enough to put him through at Chicago. Judge Harris, who went to Alabama to feel the political pulse there, telegraphs that It is impossible to stem the Grant tide In the state, and that Alabama will elect a. solid delegation to Chicago pledged to Grant’s nomination. The advantages of making Mr. Fish the can- didate of the blican party are, that would command the fulleoniidence ot Our try; second, that the party could more easily unite on him than on any other citizen who would adorn the office; third, that he would nate a pera pe. a ing ne Indispen- sable state of New York than otl lican.—N, ¥.

Rabert, assiste Rey. J. F. J. Shantz, of Myerstown, attended | upon Brandt and Hummell, while the Revs Israel Hay and Ezekiel Light, gave spiritual | consolation to Wise. At 10:15 a. m., Wise gave | notice to the deputy sheriff that he was in readi- ness to proceed to the gallows. The solemnity of the scene was intense, Wise left his cell first, preceded by Revs. Hay and Light and a: ccnded the scaffold with a firm step and asmile upon his countenance. He was allowed to make the following statement: “What I have to say is that all ‘are guilty, as I testified in court and corfessed all about it, and how Hum- mel] got in. That 1s all 1 have to say.” Rev. Mr. Hay accompanied Wise to the scaf- fold, and prayed and sang the familiar hymn in German, “There is a fountain filled with blood. At the conclusion of this hymn Brandt and Hummel were brought out, accompanted by the deputy sheriff and cle en. The men were all clad in dark suits, with a boutonierre made of smilax and lilles of the valley, which had been ae nted early in the morning by their friends, ‘The men were swung off upon the same callows upon which Drews and Stick- ler met their death.

At the same time his deputies bound them hana and foot and a over their beads white | muslin caps. Both Brandt and Hummel were | asked if they had anything to say and they replied in the negative. THE TRIPLE HANGING. All three men knelt upon the platform of the trap and engaged in prayer while the Rev. Mr. Shantz read appropriate passages from the scriptures. All persons having withdrawn from che scaffold, Sheriff Crall sprung the trap at exactly 11 o'clock and 15 minutes. “All three of the men swung into the air without a contor- Uon or even the movement of a muscle, A slight tremor was observable in Hummel’s knees, but beyond tnat nothing indicated but What death was sudden and easy, At 11:30 Dr. Iineweaver examined the bodies and declared them dead. HISTORY OF THE CRIME. Lebanon county is sparsely settled, so much So that in one of the townships there are no more than five votes; the more settled districts are inhabited by a poor and illiterate class of = among whom the dialect known as Pennsylvania Dutch is about the only ee spoken. Some eight miles from Jonestown, in one of the wilder sections of the county, is a place known as Indiantown Gap. Among its inhabitants a few years were a number of men having a strong taste for speculation in life insurance risks. Some who could barely earn the necessary means to sustain thelr families, | managed to find money enough to take sharzs in these Insurance ventures, Which Were mostly | mace upon the lives of 01424 decrepit During January, 1579, that ah old man has.

December 9, Isis | Raber, better kn¢ discovered lying dead in a shallow stream near Indiantown Gap. There were no marks of vio- Jence upon the body, however, and at the coro- hers investigation the jury found a verdict of “death from accidental drowning.” No sus- picions were aroused until later, when proofs of Raber's death were presented to the Home Mutual Life Insurance Company of Pennsy!- Vania, located at Lebanon. These proot were Looe by Henry F. Wise, Israel Brandt, fosiah Hummel and George Zec! wa, Who held ey a policy of $10,000 upon deceased’s life. he insurance — peop! S, Tefused to settle the claim,and at once em- Ployed detectives to sift the facts in connection With the old man’s death. At this stage of affairs one Joseph Peters, a soldier in the regu. lar anny, home on furlough, made the aston. | ishing revelation that he was an eye wit- | ti to the murder of *-Old Joe.” He stated that on the day of the murder his at- tention became attracted by the strange bebavior of two men named Charles Drews and Frank Sticbler. He stationed himself in a small grove and watched the two men whom he saw accompany Raber down to the stream, which Was some eighteen inches deep, and bridged merely by a plank. D WOK the lead, fol. Jowed by Raber, while Stichler brought. up the Fear, and when ail had reached the middie of the plank the latter kicked the old wood-cutter into the stream, jumped after him tmmedi- ately, and, sted by Drews, held bis head under the water until death occurred. Tae body was leit in the creek, where it lay from Saturday afternoon until’ Sunday mornizg. Subsequent a proved that Brandi, Wise, Hummel and Zechman had origiually taken out policies for $30,000 upon Raber's lift that $20,000 of this was dropped on account of thelr lity to keep up the premiums; and that even the premiums upon the remaining $10,000 grew so burdensome to them by reason of Raber’s unlooked for ci ped that they formed a conspiracy to put their man out of the Way before Uhe next payment became due, which would Be about December 8, 1875.
