Andrews of the state committee made his way to the speaker's desk at the front of the stage of the Opera House and called the convention to order. At that hour the house was only one-half filled, » few spectators being resent. The call of the roll by Secretary rank Willing Leach revealed the presence of | 204 delegates. On motion of Mr. Seiders of Franklin county Hon. Henry Hall of Mercer was chosen tem- porary chairman. Mr. Hall enlogized the republican princi- pss of protection to American Iabor, an jonest ballot and reciprocity. He urged that the keystone state maintain ite opposition to free trade und free silver. Mr. Hail closed his speech with a brilliant peroration. His reference to “that republican of republicans— that leader of ieaders, James G. Blaine of | 489%. Maine,” called for vociferous applause and waving of flags. Resolutions were adopted fix- ing the order of business for the convention. They provide for the election of a state chair- man by the convention. Committees on Porcher organization and resolutions were ap- point Several unimportant resolutions were offered and referred under a rule of the convention, without debate, to the committee ou resolutions. ‘The only one that provoked sny applause wae the following, offered by Mr. Roebuck of Lan- caster. “Resolved, That we reaffirm the unawerving devotion of Pennsylvania republicans to the supreme and sovereign right of every lawful citizen, rich aud poor, native or foreign born, black or white, to cast’ ono free ballot in public elections and to have thet ballot duly counted, and wo demand effective legislation within con- stitutional limits to secure ‘the integrity and purity of federal elections throughout the Union.” ‘The convention then, at 12 o'clock, took a re- cess until? p.m. THE PLATFORM.

Rucawoxp, Va., August 19.—The topic of discussion in the Farmers’ Alliance convention today is the action last night of | gs, 129 the alliance state convention in reaffirming its determination that railroad attorneys will not be supported for office by the order. The issue was made in the cases of Mr. Henry ©. Wickham, the counselor the Chesapeake and Obio, and ex-Speaker Caldwell of Hanover. Both of them had been indorsed for the legiv- lature by the alliance of this city. ‘The fight in the coming contest promises to narrow down to the question of the supremacy of the railroad coporations or the alliance. It is conceded that the latter will have the house ot delegates. In the senate there are seven- teen hold-over democrats out of the twenty- one, 80, admitting that all of the seventeen are opposed to the alliance plan of railroad com: misson, which is not by any means true, the opposition would only have to elect four to give them control of the senate. The fact is, though it is impossible to tell how the hold-over senators stand, it will no doubt depend largely upon the strength developed by the alliance in the coming contest how the | hold-over senators will stand upon the ri rond fight. The sentiment of the leaders of the al- linuce here is inclined to the people's party. ‘Che masses, however, are opposed to that movement. But, as a prominent officer of the state al- liane said this morning, they “are uncon- usly drifting that way without being aware of it. ‘The prominent men in the order, those who sevk office, are nursing this tendency and ‘Today the state convention had under con- sideration the reference in the president's an- nual report of yesterday to the state debt. ‘The body was furnished with figures and statis- tics by state house offici — ——- OVERTURN IN PRICES.

Ho was on his way to the hospital and was verv weak from the ef- | fects of injuries received a short distance out in the country. There was an ugly cut on his head, but he could not tell what instrument, if any, was used to inflict it. His statement was that he worked for farmer on the Brentwood road and that among other duties he had to look after acow. This morning he said he forgot to move the cow from one place to another and so told his em- ployer when the latter spoke to him about it. ‘When he told him so his employer, he says, dealt him a severe blow, knocking him to tho ground unconscious. He says he remained there some time before he regained congcious- ness and then be got up and walked in the road.

A Well-Known ‘Washingtonian Found Dead in = Room in a Baltimore Hotel. A telegram received by Tae Stan today from Baltimore said: Mr. H. A. Seligson, a wealthy merchant of Washington, was found dead in his room at the Eutaw Houso about 8 o'clock this morning, death having resulted from a stroke of apoplexy. Mr. Seligson, who has been in failing health for some time,came to the Eutaw House Monday afternoon and registered. Ho was apparently feel well and'was out unt late i tho avtornoce attend ing to business. About 8 o'clock last night be went to his room and nothing more was teen of him until this morning, when, upon going over the key rack, the clerk ‘notteed that the ker to Mr. n's room was missing, and investi- gation showed his room door to be still locked. With a key the apartment was opened and the unfortunate man discovered lying on his back dead. Coroner Baldwin was at once notified and gavo a certificate of apoplexy. Mr. Seligson must have died without a strug- gle, as the bed clothes were but slightly disar- ranged. The remains will be prepared for burial and taken this evening or tomorrow to Washington for interment. His family has been notified and are expected here this after- noon. SKETCH OF HIS CAREER. Herman Arthur Seligson wae born in Ver- mont July 26, 1843. At the breaking out of the war he enlisted in a Vermont regiment and served through the war, being honorably dis- charged, with the rank of lieutenaut colonel. Ho was posseased of a remarkably fine tenor voice and after the war he became rofes- sional singer, till he lost his voice through some throat disease. He was chief of the enumeratora of the pay branch of tho tenth census and was appointed to the eame position in the eleventh census, resigning his Powition about a month ago. After the tenth census was finished Mr. Selig- son and Mr. Poe established a music store on ‘M street, Georgetown. Mr. Seligson was also for a number of seasons the manager of Driver's old summer garden. Some eight fears ngohe engaged in the wholesale liquor “business, his store being located on Pennsylvania avenue between 1ith and 15th streets. Erom there he removed his business to 12th street and Pennsylvania avenue, whero it is still located. Mr, Seligson leaves s wife, formerly Miss Hood, the daughter of Mr. John H. Hood of Georgetown, but no children. Saturday night Mr. Seligson suffered a very severe attack of heart failure, the knowi- edge of which he carefully kept from his wife, but imparted to Capt. Brouner, his trusted business licutenant, telling him what to do in case he ould suddenly as he did. He went to Baltimore, where he had large business inter- ests, Monday and was expected to return today. This morning Capt. Brouner went to Baltimore and arranged to have the body brought to this ‘city tonight. Mr. Scligson was a stoutly - built — gentlemi ‘who seemed to have a tendency to appoplexy, which the Baltimore ‘coroner aacigned: ‘as the Canse of eat 4 POLICEMAN’S CLUB. ‘Wash Mason Was Badly Beaten, but the Case Postponed for Further Evidence. Wash. Mason, a neatly drevsed colored man, was the only victim of the policeman's club who appeared in Judge Harper's court this morning. There was a cut on bis head, which was made by Policeman Campbell's club.

At present the headquarters of the District government are in a large, but by no means too roomy, building on the west side of Let just below C street. The police hendquarters and the health office are several blocks away in buildings that are inadeqaate aud by no means ‘a cfedit to the departments that occupy them.

When spoken to on the subject this morning by a Stak reporter Commissioner Douglass ex- pressed himself as heartily in sympathy with the move to got better accommodations for the District government. “So faras I know,” said he, “there ix not another city in the country of anything like the size of Washington that is not better off in the matter of accommodatio: for its municipal government. As itis now are paying upwards of €4,000 per annum tontal “for the District building, a struc ture that is not fi reproot, not well lo- eated, nor large enough, nor in any way commensurate with the diguity of the city g ernment.
