To-nlgbt the complete returns from all the districts in this county have been received, and as a result of Saturday's primaries Senator Boles Penrose has won a victory over Ex-Postmaster General Wanamaker for Senatorial The Philadelphia Senator has captured the delegates as well as a majority of the popular vote. Of the 61 districts In the county Penrose won 41, and In delegates he secured 96 to 54 for Mr. Wanamaker. The popular vote gives Penrose a majority of 308. The formal Indorsement of to-morrow's County Convention Is now all that is necessary to make Senator Penrose the choice of Huntingdon county for United States Senator.

The following table shows the complete vote of the county by districts: Votes. Delegates. James H. Canfleld, of the Ohio State Blshop Vincent, Booker T. Washington, Bishop Spalding and Judge Draper, of New York, among many others.

The convention this year is especially interesting by reason of the Incorporation into the programme of subjects which stand for movements of" recent Innovation, but by no means Insignificant. This Is distinctly shown In the great Interest in the rapid growth of child study, which this summer Is represented In the association by a special department. The same Is true of natural science Instruction and It Is especially Interesting as Indicating the new Idea of education as of the united growth of body, mind and soul, that physical education Is at last recognized by a special department and that moral education Is also to be discussed. Under elementary education we have a discussion on vertical writing led by Annie E. Hills, director of penmanship, Springfield, nnder art education an address on "Art in the School Room Through Decoration and Works of Art," by Ross Turner, of Boston, who Initiated the movement which Is now being spiritedly championed by the Civic Club, of this city; music as a factor In education will be vigorously treated, and among the speakers Frank Damrosch, of New York, who has bad an extensive experience In bringing musical education within the reach of the masses, will show "How Good Music Makes Good Citizens." A much-debated subject, "Shall We Have Military Training In the Schools?" promises to receive capable treatment from Dr.

D. A. Sargent, director of the Hemenway Gymnasium. Harvard College, and the newly organized department, "School Administration," has taken up among Its numerous subjects the very practical points of Teachers' Pensions, and School House Architecture. The National Herbart Society will hold two open sessions during the convention.

Some Idea of the scheme of the prospective convention may be gained from the statement that nearly 200 speakers will take part, from whom may be expected an expression of the best Informed and most keenly alert opinions upon the scholastic problems of the day.

As the red, white and blue lamps were lighted in turn there was a crash of melody that sounded like the far away roar of artilllery, and a hearty "Hoch," "Hoch," "Hoch," went up as a paean of oj from ten thousand lusty throats. It was 8.30 o'clock when President Cleveland touched the button and the Germans started to do the rest. The crowd that filled the remodeled Exposition Music Hall was the largest ever gathered under one roof in PIttsbnrg.

The appearance of the dripping rain-soaked Germans, who had braved an unusually heavy storm, was In strange contrast to the fresh and crisp decorations of the big hall. The first event on the programme was the rendition of Richard Wagner's "Imperial March," by the New York orchestra of seventy-five pieces, under the direction of Professor Henry Zoellner, the fest director.

There is this great value In Its profuse arrangement of lectures and discussions It gives the specialist an opportunity to learn of his particular line of work, yet It brings him from his little groove through contact with other departments of Intellectual activity.

HIS VARIED STAGE CAREER He Beached the Position He Held In the Theatrical World After a Struggle That Would Have Discouraged a Less Determined Man He Started as a Super in a San Francisco Theatre and Advanced So That He Started in a Shakespearean Repertoire He Waa Best Known Through His Davy Crockett." Epeclal Telegram to The Times. Omaha, June 8.

Frank Mayo, the actor, and his company, who were booked to play here part of this week, left Denver last night on the Union Pacific Railroad for this city. A dispatch this afternoon stated that Mr. Mayo had died on the train. The dates of "Pnddin' Head Wilson" at the Crelghton have been cancelled. The Elks were to have had a social session to-night, with Mr.

Mayo as a guest. It was declared off and a committee of fifty Elks went to the depot, took charge of the body, which now lies in state In the lodge rooms here. Roland Reed, who has been with Mayo for the past week, and was In the car when Mayo died, will tuUe the body to Philadelphia to-morrow. Mr. Reed said to-night that be had known Frank Mayo for twenty-six years and his sudden death, he felt as a personal bereavement Last night when the party boarded the train at Denver, Mayo was Jn exuberant mood, for he had scored another great success.

He had, however, suffered Intense agony at times the past few. weeks. He thought his trouble was Indigestion. He died of paralysis of the heart. He and Reed sat up late In the smok ing apartment of the sleeper.

Mayo said he would not get Into his berth, as he found It difficult to sleep in close quar ters of late. Reed and others sat up with dim, and they all slept la the smoker. At 1 o'clock this morning Mr. Block, treas. nrer of the company, went In to awaken Ttlayo and discovered that he was dead.

He eat at the end of the seat, his face resting on bis band and his elbow upon the window His body was cold. He must have died In the early ntornlng hours. Frank Mayo's stage career was a varied one. He reached the position he held after a struggle that would have discouraged a less determined man. He was born in Boston on April 18.

1839. In his boyhood he ran away from home and set out for the gold mines of California. The geld failed to materialize and he became a supfiir on the stage of the American Thea tre, of San Francisco.

After this he again become a "super," enter ing the employ of the Mnguire Opera House, where he Incurred the wrath of Juuius Brutus Booth, who discharged him.

Mayo had no regular employment for some time after that. He hung around the San Francisco theatres, getting an occasional engagement, until one day he met Charles Wheatleign. Then his fortunes changed. Soon he became a member of Edwin Booth's company, playing De Mauprat in "Richelieu." Mayo became a leading man at Ma-gulre's In 1863 and played with almost all the leading men of that time, including Mc-Kean, Buchanan and Charles and Edward Thome. Mayo starred in Shakesperean repertoire, but he was best known to the public as "Davy Crockett," in which he first appeared In 1872.

His last appearance in New York was in "Puddln' Head Wilson," by Mark ffwaln. VON KEITER HELD FOR MURDER A Eeport That the Accused Slayer of His Wife Again Attempted to Commit Suicide Denied. There was considerable excitement at the Central Police Station yesterday afternoon, when a report was circulated that the accused wife murderer, Alfred Von Nelter, had attempted suicide by strangling himself with a necktie In his cell. Von Nelter, who fatally shot his wife at their home, 1008 Ellsworth street, on May 17, was arraigned before Magistrate South shortly after 2 o'clock on the charge of murder. The prisoner, who presented a woe-begone appearance, did not seem to realize the enormity of bis crime, and when, for the first time, he learned from Special Policeman McWill-lams that his wife was dead, he seemed stunned.

When he partially recovered be turned to the policeman, and In tones broken with emotion inquired: "Is It true my wife's dead?" The fact was reiterated by the policeman, and Von Nelter went into a swoon. He stag. fered to one side of the room, and would ave fallen to the floor had not the court officers ran to his assistance. He was held to appear before the Coroner. Soon after his removal to a cell It was re- fiorted that he had taken his necktie, colled firmly around his throat and made a desperate effort to strangle himself.

The cell-keeper denied the story, and said that it had been woven out of whole cloth. He could not explain, however, how It got broad.
