The Democratic Stale Convention of Pennsylvania, met at Harrisburg. When the roll was called it was announced that for the first time in many years there were no contes ed seats. Robert E. James was elected Permanent President. Jacob Ziegler, of Butler county, w’as nominated fcr State Auditor, and Joseph Powe 1, of Bradford county, for State Trea urer The platform advocates an honest civilservice system; condemn* unnecessary taxation; demands a tariff that will encourage productions and industries at home, and all ord ju t compensation to labor, but which will not create or foster non poly; denounces the Republican pai t for raising a surplus tax to he divided among the States; recommends that the surplus be applied to the extinguishment of the public debt. calls for the abo ition of the present internal system, and insists that public lands be held for actual set.lers, that every legitimate effort of labor to better itself commands sympathy; that the “vested rights of capital” shall be recogni ed, and tl.a leg u arbitration is a proper means of set'ling disputes between employers and employed.

A C. road, to the Journal representative, and this exthusiustic statement was probably no exaggeration. The tram consisted of a Rogers engine, a combination car, a dining-car and two parlor-cars. The loecomotive was so profusely covered with patriotic emblems anti flow’ers as to be scarcely recognizable. Flags and shields, tasteftilly arranged, edveted the cab and tender, and in front, resting off the pilot, was an imrnbiisd fidral hdrfle-shoc, prdbably j six feet high, surifiounted by an dicCUetit picture of President Arthur, in a tioral frame. On the smoke-stack was a comical little image of a negro bearing a banner, the significant motto “Get there, Eli,” and in view of the wonderful speed that was made on the trip it is safe to assume uliitt Eli got there. The military band was in the front car, and back of it was the diningroom car, an elegant affair which was awarded the first prize at the Chicago Exposition, and which yesterday made its first trip. Next came the President's car, which w»S a magnificent specimen of mechanical arr. If is Mr. Pullman’s private car, which had been tendered for the occasion. It is finished in white wood, with every attention to artistic beauty, and the furniture and fittings were superb. The walls are covered with plate-glass minors and pictures, and the reception-room contains luxurious chairs and sofas and finely-finished tables, on which were several elegant floral designs. In the rear was Pi : eßident Tourig 4 s magnificent private car, which is a model of beauty and convenience. The Presidential party consisted of President Arthur, Secretaries Folger and Lincoln, Postmaster General Gresham. Senator Bayard and Surrogate Rollins, of New York. Accompanying the train were the officials of the road; President Young, E. B Stahlman, second Vice President, John McLeod, General Superintendent W. G. Sala, Superintendent of the Northern Division, and W. H. Lewis, Secretary and Treasury, the representatives of the press, and the Indiana delegation. The latter consisted of LieutenauGovernor Hanna Hon. George W. Fricdley, of Bedford; Mayor Mulkey, of Bloomington; Mayor F. E. D McGinley, ‘of Lafayette, and J. G. McPheeters, of Bloomingtoh; Accessions were made at various points as follows: At New Albany, M. M. Hurley, W. S. Culbertson, Morris McDonald, W. F. Tuley, Lewis Hartman. John Newhouse ami Thomas Hanlon; at Bedford, Judge Francis Wilson and Judge Vorhis; at Greencastle, State Auditor Rice and Hon. Robert Graham, of Noblesville; at Crawfordsville, Hon. R. B. F. Pierce, and at Lafayette W. S. Lingle and Hon. Thomas B. Ward. The representatives of the press were: Mr. Charles Diehl, of the Western Associated Press; Mr. J. J. Eakins, of the Louisville Couricr-Jburnal; Mr. P. V. Collins, of the Cincinnati ('ommercial-Ga-zette; Ferdinand Duncke, of the Chicago Timeß. Frank Brooks,of the Chicago Tribune; Major Plum, of the Chicago JVettvf, and the Journal correspondent. THE START AND JOURNEY. The start was made at 8:35 o’clock, and it was evident before the train had crossed the bridge that the trip was to be accomplished in as brief a time as possible. Elegantly printed time cards were distributed on the train, showing that the train was to arrive at Chicago at 7 o’clock p. m. and giving the time at intermediate points. The total distance covered was 317 miles in ten hours and twenty-five minutes. Allowing one hour and a half for stops, as this is a very small estimate, the average speed was thir-tv-five miles an hour and at times that was increased to fifty and even fifty-five miles an hour. A smoothly ballasted track, fine equipments and a smoke consumer on the engine, all contributed to make the ride a remarkably pleasant one. The train had exclusive right of way. and the railroad officials had, in all matters'connected with the journey, attended the every little detail that contributed to the pleasure and comfort of the party. An elegant lunch was served near Greencastle in a manner that would have reflected credit upon a first-class club house, and colored servants were plentiful y distributed tnroughout the tram to supply the temporal wants of the guests of the road. The President and Secretaries Folger and Lincoln occupied their own car during the greater part of the trip, and passed the time in reading p ipers and periodicals and chaltmg with the other gentlemen who dropped in at times. Postmaster General Gresham stayed m the other car and entertained his Indiana friends. AT NEW ALBANY. The first stop was made at New Albany, the arrival ot the train being heralded by a cannon salute and the vigoious playing of the baud. At the Vincennes street station several thousand people hail assembled, men, women and children, wiio. when the tram stopped, crowded about the cars in a reckless manner that aroused fears of personal injury. General Gresham introduced the President to the crowd, and the latter, after gracefully acknowledging the reception, presented Secretaries Folger and Lincoln. The latter was received with much enthusiasm, but had no time to speak, as the train only stopped for a few minutes. As it pulled out the crowd gave three cheers for the President and Mr. Gresham, and the journey was resumed. The run to Salem, twenty-three miles, was made in forty minutes, and here the President and the members of the cabinet were introduced by Mr. Friedley, Judge Gresham being received with especial favor. At the request of the 1 itter a brief stop was made at Orleans, his old home, and, tuough no preliminary arrangement had been made, there was quite a crowd at the depot. Judge Gresham did the honors, and his old friends aud neighbors crowded up to shake hands with him and congratulate him. The Postmaster General evidently had a kindly remembrance of them for he spoke to a number of ladies and g ntiemen, calling them by name and shaking hands with as many as possible. THROUGH SOUTHERN INDIANA The ride through Southern Indiana was a delightful one. The morning was cool ai d ! bright, and the scenery picturesque. At every little station, and even along tin road in the country, the people were gathered, ; and as the elegantly appointed train flashed by the men waved* the.r hats and shouted, and the women waved their handkerchiefs and other art.cles of api are!. Mitchel, six miles out, was re' ched at ’ 10;30 o’clock, seventeen m nut s behind schedule time Here Mr. Fried ley ntroduced i the partv. the President saying: “Ladies and gentleman, I am very g.’adtosee you all and would like to speak to vo.\ but have not time, and I can only thank you heartily for this generous recept’on ” When it came Mr Gresham s turn to be presented he waived all formalities bv saying.

We recall a time when, under the old barbarism, we made bricks without rtiaw. and we remember how, later on, as the irresistablc conflict Was precipitated, you were for the under dog in the flullt. You stood for justice to an oppressed people; It was not then the popular . side. Quite the contrarv. A remorseless prejudice pervad d the North rather than the South, culminating in the burning of the colored orphan asylum in New York, was rife in the land, and we were hiding bke little chickens in the grass when there is a hawk in the air. You stood by us _stood tor justice, citizenship, and the right of life, libertv and the pursuit ot happiness. Tue ceh i.rated caase which, without fee or hope of rewarrl, yoit took to the Supreme Court, vindicating the righ‘s ot a colored w->man to ride unmolested and without humiliation upon the street-cars when she had paid her fare, was gained. It was a victory for justice, for humanity, and you buiided better than we knew, for the principle involved covered the whole ques--1 tion of civil rights.

The follow ing, clipped from the letter of the State Superintendent of Insurance, and addressed to A. D. Miller, Secretary of the “Eureka Life,” shows how the application was received: “Year statement shows that of the 964 members holding certificates JuCC 30, 1883, 757 are over 65 years old; and of that number 137 have reached the age of 85. It strikes' me you ought to buy a cemetery as a prerequisite to your transacting business.

The G. A B. delegation from Indianapolis has returned from the Denver encampment. The journey home had several startling experiences. Wliile on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe road the train ran into a terrific wifid-rtonn, against which the engine could make no progress, and later into a rain-storm, which deluged the plains, washed out the ties and allowing the rails to drop a foot or more (stopping the train, of course!, while tbs lightning played all around and above. Abraketnan started toward a switch, but before he reached it an electric bolt 1 smashed it to fragments, tore up the track and scooped out a hole big enough for a cellar before the eyes of the trainmen and pas--1 sengers.

county; and, by the decree of the Court, the only child, a bright and pretty little girl, was awarded to the custody of the fall er, who, in 1882, again married and lived on a farm a few miles from Lawrenceburg. The divorced wife left Lawrenceburg, and was not heard of until about six months ago, ■when she, in company with another woman, came to Lawrenceburg, got a horse and buggy anil drove to the residence of Mr. Stall. Here she made three attempts to steal the child. Finally the woman rushed into Mr. Stall's house, kidnapped the child, and before the father could rescue it, the divorced wife jumped into the buggy and drove away with the child. No clew- was ever discovered as to the child’s whereabouts until this week, when the father learned that it was in this city with its mother, at the house of Mrs. Aaron Davis. To-day he came to this city, and discovering the child on Pike street, in front of the Davis House, rushed up and carried it away in his arms. The mother, on learning this, was wild, and made every effort to regain possession of her offspring. By the assitance of the officers Stall took the child to Lawrenceburg, to night, on the 8 o’clock train. The child is 3 years old, and very pretty, and is now in much better hands than if retained by the fallen mother. Some three years ago Mrs. Mary E., wife of George A. Reissner, a well-known retail shoe man of Indianapolis, became irisline from religious excitement. It grew upon her slowly, but finally necessitated a removal to the Insane Assylum, from whch she was released at stated intervals, only to be returned. Fora long time she labored under the hallucination that one-half of the world was to be saved and the other half damned, whether or no; but more recently she became impressed with the belief that all were to be damned. Some weeks ago she was given a leave of absence from the asylum, under the belief that her mental condition had greatly improved, and only a day or two since the family secured an extension of leave for sixty days. Friday she surprisedher husband with a half-express-ed intention of committing suicide, and a watch was set over her movements, but in some way she eluded the family vigilance and escaped in a suit belonging to her son. After a long seaach she was found lying in a meadow with a halter-strap in her hand, which she had formed into a noose for the purpose of strangling herself. Upon her returning home an extra guard was planed over her, and all went well until about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, when she suddei Jy leaped from the second-story window of the family residence to the pavement, and falling headlong received injuries which resulted fatally in a very few minutes. Thg deceased was aged 86, and she leaves four children, one nearly grown to man’s estate. Manufacturers in the Green Isle.
