a.m. REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVEN TION. In our last issue we gave a brief abstract of the proceedings of the Republican county convention, which convened in Smethport on the 29th ult. Below we give full report of the proceedings. The convention was called to order by H.

F. Barbour, chairman of the county committee, and James E. Butts, of Buttsville, and E. R. Mayo, of Eldred, were placed in nomination fcr chairman.

The the convention falling upon Mr. Butts, he was escorted to the chair, and after thanking the members for the honor conferred upon him, the conyention proceeded to business. Eben Brewer and J. K. Graham were chosen secretaries.

On motion of W. I. Lewis, the chair appointed theollowing gentlemen as a committee on credentials T.J. Melvin, J. L.

Andrews, Bradford; J.J. Robarts, Ceres W. H. Wiggins, Lafayette, and stood fact that there is a law for the protection of animals from cruelty frorrr those who excercise control over them, but some persons overlook the fact entirely that there is a law to protect children from cruelty from parents or guardians. The Thomson House, under the man agement of Mr.

Geo. W.Jackson, is rapidly filling up, and seems to retain the popularity in former seasons, as evinced by the many familiar faces we notice among the guests. Among the later arrivals that of the Rev. J. R.

Pax ton and family, of Washington, D. is the most prominent. They have enjoyed the hospitalities of the house for several seasons past. A correspondent of the Bradford Era says "It is understood tnat ttje Hamilton township road, running from a point west of LaFayette Corners, via Turn Up run to Kinzua village, will be abandoned. In its place one is to be built from Alton to Tally Ho to intercept the road running from there to Kane.

Viewers have been out making a recon noissance of the country through which the road is to The "fifth," the day we celebrated, passed off rather "geloriously" with a few individuals who deem it a bounden duty to get very drunk and disorderly on every return of the nation's birthday, in order to show off their great patriot ism and loye of a free country. An unexpected check was put upon proceedings of this character in the afternoon of the day by the.prompt and decided action of some of our citizens, and from that time forward quiet reigned supreme. The La Mont cornet band gave a ball on July 5th, which was largely attended. The original intention was for a platform dance on the west side of town, but the unfavorable condition of the weather in the morning necessitated a change of base of operation, and the Temperance Hall was substituted. In the evening the hall not being attainable, the party adjourned to the Hotel de Griffith, on Fraley street, and the sport was continued until the "wee sma' hours ayant the twae."

J. D. Leonard, P. M. The scene in and about the Presby terian church on July 5th, the occasion of the festival of the Ladies' Mutual Aid Society, was one of unusual interest, and attracted a large number of people thither.

The tables inside were loaded with refreshments for the comfort of the inner man, attended by fair ladies and maidens, who seemed to vie with each other in their attentions upon the guests, and outside games of croquet, ring toss and swings had been arranged for the amusement of all. Though not being present at the exercises at eleven clock a. we learn they were of a highly satisfactory character, and were well aoDreciated by the audience. Take it all in all, it was an enjoyable occasion and one long to be remembered. HARRY ENGLISH.

Another report as to the whereabouts of the notorious Harry English is being circulated, and this one from the Brad ford Star seems to be the most plausible that we have yet heard. It is to the effect that English is secreted in a cave a short distance up the Allegheny river from Kinzua village, Warren county, and that he is fully armed with a repeating rifle, a big knife and two 44 calibre revolvers. He is often visited by his relatives and friends, who keep him supplied with the necessaries of life. This information was accidentally obtained by a gentleman of Bradford from an Indian, who stated that the Indians had seen English and held quite a pow wow with him. He conversed freely with them, saying that he wanted to kill two other men and then quit.

One of them was his brother in law (a brother of his first wife), and another man whom he did not specify. He is kept in money, ammunition and provisions by his friends, and is well supplied with newspapers containing accounts of himself. The Indians are not afraid of him, as he, says he bears no ill will toward them, but the first man, that comes after him will be shot. In conclusion the Star says The people of that vicinity Corydon, Kinzua and Sugar Run are friendly with English and will do what they can to aid him. They say that even if they were disposed to capture him their love of life would cause them to hesitate before attempting his arrest.

It is ascertained that English will remain in the woods until winter, when he will leave for parts unknown. Of all reports and theories and stories this last seems to be the most probable. coming as it does from a gentleman of undoubted veracitv. while the tacts in the case, it must be admitted, are what have all along been the ideas held by a majority of the residents of Elk and Warren counties. It was rumor ed late last night that a party of men headed by a detective was to be formed for the purpose of ferreting: out and cap turing the desperado, but we could not trace it to any reliable source.

Later. Since the above was written informa tion reaches us to the effect that District Attorney Wurzell, of Elk county, re ceived a telegram on Monday stating that Harry English was in the Saginaw (Mich.) jail, having been arrested in the northern part of that State by one of Pinkerton's detectives. Mr. Wurzell left for Harrisburg the same day to get a requisition to bring him to Ridgway. Latest novelty in Kane five cent" counter at O.

(Krom tli8 Era of the 8th inst.) It was no later than yesterday morn ing that a gang of eleven tramps, handcuffed and bound together by a long chain, were marched through the street on their wav to the County jail. The singular procession was officered by blue coats and surrounded by an innumerable phalanx of small boys, whose curiosity lit Up their eyes with a strange light. Scarcely had this tatterdemalion squad been beyond the city confines before another band of tramps approached the oil metropolis' via. the Erie railway track from Carrolton. Shortly before 12 o'clock last night Charles Bacon, a young man employed in the brick yard on Hilton's flats, started homeward from this city.

After passing through the Erie railway bridge a short' distance, a number of men emerged from the bushes on either side of the track and marched toward him. One of them called upon Bacon to halt. Coming up to him, one of the party presented a pistol and demanded his (Bacon's) money or life. He informed the knight of the road that he had no money. The spokesman then replaced his pLstol and was about to search Bacon, but he quickly turned and ran toward the city at the top of his speed.

He thinks that none of the band attempted to follow him. He told the story to the police and said that when the robbers asked for his money or his life he did not feel that he could spare either. There were either six or eight in the band. About one o'clock this morning the cops made a raid on the Erie bridge and surroundings. One de tatchment of the officers made a detour by way of Kennedy street and the West Branch siding, while the others went down the track from the Union depot The tramps, however, had evanesced It is quite probable that some of the band will fall in the toils to day.

EDUCATIONAL. County Superintendent Curtis, in his annual report, says "During the past year the schools of ine county nave aeciuecuy improved in interest and efficiency and more careful and thorough work in them has, been done by most 01 the teachers than ever before. More pains have been taken in teaching the primary pupils than ever before and a great improvement is the result. Great attention has been given to this for the past three years in the supervision of the schools, but the results have not been so apparent till now. I he graded and high schools nave increased number, as much propor tionately as the others.

In the past year graded schools have been opened at .1 areo, uuKe centre, Kea kock, wiraor and Custer City, and one is to open at Alton all of these are in new houses, and manv other houses have been built in the county districts. The city of Bradford has built a large house, now having three in all and each tilled. I his is still in charge of the county superintendent. The present number of schools in the county is aoout 150. JNew ones will be opened this summer.

"Of course the labors of the superintendent are greatly increased and it is an impossibility to give each school as much time as formerly. In the past year the superintendent made 255 visits to schools, averaging: 1.22 hours in length.

He was one of the early settlers of Kane, and for many years had been in the employ of the Philadelphia and Erie railroad at Kane shops. He was honest and upright in all his ways, and greatly respected by all who knew him.

A wife and several grown up sons and daughters and a large circle of relatives and friends mourn his loss. Funeral services were held in the Catholic church, of which he was an honored member, early Tuesday morning, and the remains were then conveyed to War ren on the 6:30 A. m. train for burial, many of our citizens going thither to participate in the last sad rites. THE TAXPAYERS' APPEAL.

The county commissioners, Messrs. Abbey and Boyer, were in Kane on Fri day, the sd to listen to the appeals of the taxpayers of Hamilton and Wet more townships, as previously announced. Upon presentation of the case by the taxpayers, they wisely concluded to reduce the assessed valuation thirty three and one third pef which, under the circumstances of the case, is all that could be reasonably expected from the commissioners, though the taxpayers are by no means satisfied, as was evinced by an impromptu meeting of the taxpayers of the two townships, which was called at Dayis' Hall at one o'clock of the same day, for the purpose of considering the question. The meeting was called to order by James A. Anderson, of Hamil ton, who stated the object for which they had been called together, after which.

upon motion of Gen. Kane, seconded by Mr. Anderson, James Cobbett, of Ham ilton, was chosen chairman, and Joshua Davis and O. B. Lay secretaries, Speeches were made expressive of the sense of the meeting by Gen.

Kane and Messrs. Wetmore and Anderson, of Hamilton, after which, upon motion of Mr. Wetmore, a joint committee of six from each township was appointed by the chair to cqnfer together and devise means and take such action as they might think necessary to protect the in terests of taxpayers of Wetmore and Hamilton townships.
