STORIES OF SCHLEY.
The Man Who, With Steam and Steel,
Went Like a Bam Into the Ice-Bib
bed Zone.
The mother of Commander Schley, of
the Greely relief fleet, Mrs. S. M. Schley,
says the American, is now, with her
daughter, living at No. 39 Courtland
street, in Baltimore. Both are naturally
proud of the heroic achievement of Com
mander Schley, and spoke yesterday with
a just admiration ot his gallant conduct.
Mrs. Schley said: “Scott was always
fond of the sea from boyhood, and never
seem. *l at home upon land. He loved his
wife first and his 6bip next. I rememt>er
hearing him sav the last time I saw him;
•On board ship I lee! at home; on land 1
feel as if 1 was good for nothing.’
ilis father was always, when a boy,
anxious to enter the navy, but h’is
lather put his foot down on it and he never
got to sea. With his sons it was differ
ent, for three of them entered the navy,
lie was very anxious to go 011 this expe
dition, although he had never been in the
Arctic region belore, and he seemed to be
confident that he would find the Greely
party. He did not, however, expect to
find them as soon as he aid, but told us to
look for him iu October. He is, therefore,
home several months ahead of time. We
hope to see him soon.
‘•His wile was Miss Nannie Franklin,
daughter of Mr. George It. Franklin, of
Annapolis. They have three children.
'i'ott is very fond of bis family, a man ot
very pleasant and amiable character, al
ways in good humor and never out of tem
l>er. His success is, of course, a matter
of great pride to all his family.”
WAS IT CHICKEN CHOLERA?
The Strange Suffering* Which Followed
a Tea Party at Bloomsbury.
On Friday last at a tea party at the
home of Moses Robins, a wealthy farmer,
says a Bloomsbury, N. J., special to the
New York lUorfd, there were four guests,
Misses Nellie Fulmer, Ada Gardner,
Bessie Apgar and Aruilla Steele, the lat
ter a sister of Sweeney Steele, the En
grossing Clerk of the State Senate. The
next afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Boltins and
their six children one after another were
taken violently ill. The excitement in
Bloomsbury’ was intensified when it be
came known that the young women who
were guests of Mr. Robins were also ill.
From that time to this three physicians
have been laboring to ease the intense
suffering of the patients, and yet not one
is pronounced out of danger. Two of the
Robins family are at the point of death,
and the least backward change in the
others will bring them to death’s door.
This alternoon suddenly Mrs. Susan
Creveling, an aged lady, was also taken
ill, and is in a very precarious condition.
She has the same symptoms of the other
patients. It is surmised that they all
have been poisoned by a dish of chicken
served at Friday’s meal, some of which
was sent to Mrs. Creveling, a relative. A
child of Mr. Robins, who did not eat much
chicken, was but slightly afflicted. No
other article of the table was sent to Mrs.
Creveling. Chicken cholera is prevalent
in the neighborhood.
FAIR MAID MARINERS.
Two Fisher Island Belles to Sail In a
Yacht Race.
The mania here just now is for tub and
boat racing, says a New London special
to the Boston Globe. Wednesday there
is to be a cat-boat race, a tub race and a
clam bake at Fisher’s Island. A particu
lar novel feature of tbe boat race will be
the entries of two boats to be sailed by
two young ladies, Mis 9 Faye Fox and
Miss Kate Hurlbut. The two lady yachts
men will undertake a feat never before
recorded in these parts. Miss Fox is a
handsome young lady, tbe queen of the
island, which has always been her home.
She is the daughter of Mrs. Fox, who has
owned Fisher's Island for years, and she
has always been on the water to a greater
or less extent. She thinks no more of
“jamming a boat into it” when crossing
the rushing Race in the teeth of a fierce
sou’wester than an ordinary girl would ot
hemming a kerchief. She is a very ac
complished seaman. Her friend, Miss
Hurlbut. now residing on the island, is
also a skiltul mariner. Bhe is said to have
sailed a boat alone in a two reef breeze
from tbe island to New Loudon.
THE lliON SIIKB KILLED HIM.
The Mystery Surrounding the Case of
Valentine Frit* Not Cleared Cp.
Valentine Fritz, the German who was
found wandering about in a semi-con
scious condition a tew days ago with an
iron spike three inches long driven in his
head, says a Baltimore special of July 21,
died at an early hour this morning. A
post mortem showed that death resulted
from inflammation of the brain, caused
by toe iron. The story that an idiotic sou
of Fritz drove the spike in his father’s
head is not credited by Dr. Blake, al
though it said that he was seen to enter
his father’s room, on the day the latter
was brought home, with a hammer in his
band. The doctor says it a hammer had
been used the end of the spike would
have been flattened, but such was not the
case. The physicians all agree that the
spike was in the man’s head when he was
found in the suburbs. He could not, they
say, have driven it in himself, and the
ease is either one of remarkable accident
or a brutal murder. The iron was not
rusted, and had apparently not been used
before.

A FOURTH TICKET PUT UP.
GOV. ST. JOHN ENTEREH FOR
THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE.
The Hypocrisy of the Republican Party
and Their Presidential Standard Bear
ers Roundly Denounced—The Temper
s' c * Organization Adopt* as It* Name
“The Prohibition Party.”
Pittsburg, Pa., July 24.—The Prohi
bition Convention was called to order
this morning at 9 o’clock. The attendance
was very large. After prayer and the offer
ing of a number of resolutions, the con
vention proceeded to the call ot States for
the nomination of candidates. Mr. Bab
cock, of California, put in nomination P.
11. McDonald, and George C. Christian, of
Illinois, proposed the name of ex-Gov.
St. John, which were received with cheers
an enthusiasm.
Miss Frances E. Willard seconded the
nomination of Gov. St. John. Delegates
from Kentucky and Maine seconded the
nomination of McDonald, and W. T. Eus
tis, of Maine, put in nomination Gideon
T. Stewart, of Ohio. Mr. Miner, of Mas
sachusetts, also seconded the nomination
of Gov. St. John, expressing the belief
that he would receive the nomination of
the convention on the first ballot, and by
an overwhelming majority.
The nomination of Gov. St. John was
seconded by a great number of other dele
gates.aml so many good things were said of
him by the various speakers that the re
mark was made on the stage that the
audience had been listening to-dav to a
new gospel of St. John.
ALL GIVE WAV TO ST. JOHN.
When Ohio was called, Mr. Stewart
took the platform and said that the pre
sentation of bis name was against his
wish, that he would not be a candidate,
and that he seconded the nomination of
Gov. St. John.
Mr. Pierce, of Pennsylvania, nominated
Hon. James Black, ol Pensylvania. At this
stage ot the proceedings Mr. Babcock, of
California, who had nominated Mr. Mc-
Donald, eam c to the platform and said that
Mr. McDonald was for the cause and not
for self. He (Babcock) had presented bis
name and it bad been cordially received
by the convention, but he wa’s satisfied
that the temper of the convention and the
interest of the cause demanded the with
drawal of Mr, McDonald’s name. He,
therefore, withdrew it and cordially
seconded the nomination of Gov. St. John.
[Cheers.]
Mr. Pierce, of Pennsylvania, also with
drew the nomination of Mr. Black, and
that of Mr. Stewart was withdrawn by
the Maine delegation, with the remark
that Maine kept step with the music of
the Union. [Cheers.]
A motion 10 suspend the rules and nomi
nate Gov. St. John by acclamation came
up for action, but on the earnest argu
ment of delegates that the effect of that
would be to stampede the convention and
to leave its most important work (the
platform) uncared tor, the convention
took a recess till 3 o’clock this afternoon.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Upon re-assembling in the afternoon
session, the first business transacted was
the calling of the roll of States upon nomi
nations, notwithstanding the renewed ob
jection from those delegates who wished
to go to work upon the platform.
Every vote was cast for Gov. St. John,
and at the conclusion of the roll call it
was announced that the result of the bal
lot was 602 votes for Gov.-St. John. This
was received with much enthusiasm.
A BURST OF ENTHUSIASM.
A picture of Gov. St. John w as exhibit
ed from the stage, and amid great
enthusiasm the delegates aud spec
tators joined in singing the chorus,
“Glory, Glory, Hallelujah, Our Cause is
Marching On.” This was followed by
rousing cheers. Then the convention
joined in singing the hymn, “Praise God
from Whom All Blessings Flow,” after
which the President' made a formal an
nouncement of the unanimous choice of
John P. St. John, and called for another
rousing cheer, which was heartily re
sponded to.
The platform was then reported by Mr.
Black, of Pennsylvania, Chairman of the
Committee on Resolutions. It is a very
long document. The second resolution’,
referring to the liquor traffic, is as tol
lows;
The importation, manufacture, supply and
sale of alcoholic beverages created anil main
tained by the laws of the national and State
governments durimr the entire history of such
laws is every where shown to lie promoting the
cause of intemperance with resulting
crime and pauperism, making large demands
on pub ic and private charity, imposing large
and unjust taxation and public bur
dens for penal and shelterin'? in
stitution*, upon thrift, industry, manufactures
and commerce, endangering public peace,
causing the desecrating of the Sabbath, cor
rupting our politics, legislation and adminis
tration of laws, sliorieniug lives, impairing
health and diminishing productive industry,
causing education to lie neglected and de
spised, nullifying tlie teachings of the Bible,
church and school, the standards and guides
of our fathers and tlieir children in the foun
ding ami growth, under God, of our widely
extended country, and which, imperilling the
perpetuity of our civil and religious liberties,
are the baneful fruits by which we know
that these laws are alike contrary to God’s
laws and conspire against our happiness, and
we call niton our fellow citizens to aid in the
repeal of these laws aud iu the legal suppres
sion of this baneful liquor traffic.
NOTHING DONE BA' REPUBLICANS.
The fact that during the twenty-four years
in which the Republican party lias controlled
the General Government in many of the States
no efforts have been made to change this
policy, that Territories have been created
from the national domain and governments
for them established, anil states from
them admitted into the Union, in no
instance in either of which has this traffic
been forbidden or the people of these Territo
ries or States been permitted to prohibit it.
That there arc now over 20>,00) distilleries,
breweries, wholesale and retail dealers in
these drinks, holding certificates aud claim
ing the authority of the government for a
continuation of the business so destructive to
the moral and material welfare of the people,
together with the fact that they have
turned a deaf ear to the remonstrance and
I otition for a correction of the abuse
of the civil government, is conclusive,
that the Republican party is insensible to or
too potent for a redress of those wrongs, and
should no longer he entrusted with tlte pow
ers and responsibilities of government. That
;#though this party in its late Natioual Con
vention was silent on the liquor question, not
so were its candidates, Messrs, Blaine and
Logan.
VIEWS OF BLAINE AND LOGAN.
Within a year past, Blaine has publicly re
commended that tho revenue derived from
the liquor traffic shall be distributed
among the States, and Senator Logan
has by a hill proposed to devote these re
venues to the support of schools. Thus both
virtually recommend the perpetuation of the
traffic, and that the States and their citizens
shall become partners in the liquor comuc.
The fact that the Democratic party has in its
national deliverance of party policy arraved
itself on the side of driuk makers and sellers
by declaring against the policy of prohibition
of such a traffic under the false name of
“sumptuary laws,” and when in power
in some of the States in refusing
remedial legislation, and in Congress of re
fu-ing to permit the creation of a hoard of in
quiry to investigate and report the effects of ■
this traffic, proves that the Democratic party
should not he entrusted with power and place,
and that there can be no greater peril to the
nation than the existing competition of the
Republican and Democratic parties for the
liquor vote. Experience shows that any party
not openlv oppose*! to the traffic will engage in
this competition, wi.l court the favor of
the criminal classes, and will barter away
puulic morals, the purity of the ballot, anil
every trust aud object of good government
for party success; and patriots aud good citi
zens should find in this practice sufficient
cause for the immediate withdrawal of all
connection with tlieir party.
VICKS SHOULD NOT BE MADE TAXABLE.
The platform also asserts that the collection
of revenues from alcoholic liquors and tobacco
should be abolished, as the vices of men are
not a proper subject for taxation.
That a revenue for customs duties should he
levied for the support of the government eco
nomically administered, aud when bo levied,
the fostering of American labor, manufac
tures and industries should constantly be held
in view. That believing in the civil and po
litical equality of sexes, and believing that
the billot in the hand of woman is right for
her protection, and would prove a power!ul
ally for the abolition of the drinking saloon
the execution of the laws, the promotion of
reform in civil affairs, and the removal of cor
ruption in public |life. Thus believing, we
relegate the practical outworking of this re
form to the discretion of the Prohibition party
in the several States, according to the condi
tion of public sentiment in those States,
DISCUSSING THE PLANKS.
The platform was read by sections for
action. The first section was adopted
without discussion.
The second section was characterized
by a New Jersey delegate as diffuse, mul
tifarious and unintelligible, Some ob-,
jection to it was made by Mr. Smith, of
Illinois, who moved to recommit it for the
purpose of having it reformed and put in
a few line*.
Mr. Neal, of New York, commended it
as just what was wanted.
Rev. Mr. Miner, of Massachusetts, a
member of the Committee on Resolutions,
defended the action ot the committee, and
explained the difficulty under which it
latwred. He thought it better for the con
vention not to bo over critical and adopt
the platform without discussion rather
than iet every member try to amend it.
The discussion was put to an end by the
previous question, and the second section
was adopted,
SAVANNAH, FRIDAY, JULY 25, 1884.
Mr- Bartram, of New Jersey, moved
that when the platform shall have been
adopted it shall be referred for re-editing
to James Black, of Pennsylvania.
Rev. Dr. Miner, of Massachusetts, a>id
John Russell, of Michigan, agreed to this.
THE SHOT AT BLAINE AND LOGAN.
A motion was made to strike out all
personal allusions to Blaine and Logan.
Ibis proposition led to a discussion in
which Mr. Heaney, of Illinois, declared
his belief that both Blaine and Logan were
on the Republican ticket because of their
action on the liquor question. Prohibi
tionists, he said, should face the music
and 9boot where they wanted to bit.
Mr. Russell, ol Michigan, thought that
Blaine and Logan should be rebuked for
asking the suffrage of the American peo
ple under such oircumstances.
The question was taken on the motion
to strike out the personal allusion to
Blaine and Logan, and it was rejected bv
a large majority amid cheers.
Mr. Hopkins, of New York, moved to
strike out the whole of the financial
plank. He thought that there should be
nothing but prohibition in the platform.
Finally the previous question was
ordered, and the motion to strike out the
financial plank was voted down, on which
a delegate declared that he would no
longer be a member of the party. The
previous question was then ordered on
all sections of the platlorm not previously
acted on, and the platform as a whole was
adopted amid cheers. The platform is
now to be submitted tor revision aud re
editing to a committee of three, who are
not to modify it in any material sense.
Rev. Dr. Miner, of Massachusetts, one
of the three members of the Committee
on Resolutions to whom the platform was
referred for literary rev ision, said that the
committee would not be able to report to
the convention for action.
THE NAME OK THE PARTY.
He moved, however, that the name of
the party be fixed as the “Prohibition
party.”
Miss Willard spoke in favor of retain
ing the name of the “Prohibition Home
Protection party.”
the question between Dr. Miner’s prop
osition and Miss Willard’s was taken
jjroid much excitement, and resulted—by
--.j to l.Vj —iu the success of the former.
The name of the party, then, is to be the
Prohibition party.
The convention then took a recess till 8
o’clock this evening.
A CORRUPTION FUND.
The first hour and a half of the evening
session was spent in an amusing effort,
upon the part of the Finance Committee,
to raise campaign funds. The plan
adopted was the issue of certificates of
stock in wbatiscalled the “pioneer battle
land of the Prohibition party,” the holder
of each share pledging himself to pay $lO
a year, dividends being payable in heaven.
Mr. Christian, of Chicago, acted
as an auctioneer broker, and by his
amusing remarks cajoled the delegates
from various States to subscribe for from
ten to fifty shares each. The whole num
ber of shares taken aggregating about 400.
THE WOMEN’S WING.
The women leaders of the Prohibition
party movement held a meeting in the
parlors of the St. Charles Hotel to-dav.
Mrs. Mattie McClellan Brown was called
to preside. It was decided to issue a call
to the patriotic women of the country
to join in the efforts to advance
the cause of the Prohibition Home Pro
tection party because it alone represents
the welfare and saletv of the whole
people.
From the prominent women of the con
vention, Mrs. Mattie -McClellan Brown,of
Cincinnati, “Mother” Stewart, of Ohio,
and Miss Frances Willard, of Evanston,
111., were placed on the National Com
mittee of the party.
THE FINANCE FLANK.
Dr. Miner, of Massachusetts, from the
Committee on Resolutions, made a report
as to the finance plank in the platform.
He said that it had been a matter of
doubt originally in the committee, but on
a reconsideration it was determined to re
commend in lieu of a finance plank the
one adopted by the party in 18T6 as fol
lows:
“Separation of the money of the gov
ernment lrotn all banking institutions.
The National Government, only should
exercise the high prerogative of issuing
paper to be paid on demand in gold
aud silver or an equal standard of value
recognized by the civilized world.”
Alter a discussion in which several
delegates took the ground that the con
vention should confine itself to the sim
ple principle of prohibition, while others
argued that the proposed plank would
attract the votes of the Greenbackers,
the motion of Dr. Miner was adopted, and
the finance plank of 1876 was substituted.
Hon. William Daniel, of Maryland, was
nominated as the candidate for Vice
President, and the convention adjourned
sine die.
DUDLEY’S VIEWS OF THE CONVENTION.
Washington, July 24.—The Blaine
statesmen who went visiting to the Pitts
burg Convention now see their mistake.
Commissioner Dudley, being interviewed
to-day, said: “It is a mistake to say that
I went to Pittsburg to attend the Prohi
bition Convention or to look after the
interests of Mr. Blaine. I was there on
business connected with the office, and
spent a part of the afternoon in the lobby
of the hotel where a number of the dele
gates were sitting around. This is all the
connection I had with the convention. 1
am not known as a temperance worker,
and know but few of the delegates.”
“Didn’t it seem to be a representative
body?’-' asked the reporter.
“1 was told not, and it seemed to me
from what I heard that seven out of every
ten were Democrats. I regard the con
vention as merely a Democratic annex,
and in talking with the delegates and
getting down to bottom facts, this is the
object they have in view.”
“If that is the case, their action will not
have much influence with the temperance
vote,” suggested the reporter.
“Not if the real character of the move
ment is known. But the trouble is that
they will represent themselves as the
great party of temperance and moral re
form, and under this disguise will invite
the lambs to join them.”
“Perhaps it is just as well that they did
not indorse Blaine,” said the reporter.
“Well, I think it will be six of one and
hall a dozen of the other. The saloon in
terest in Indiana and Ohio is organized
and united, and it votes solidly the Demo
cratic ticket. They persuaded the Demo
crats to insert a plank in the national
platform in their interest, and if the Pro
hibitionists now give tneir aid to defeat
the Republican candidate they will elect
the candidate of the saloon interest. By
this term I don’t mean the German vote,
so-called, as that is a different element.”
TEMPERANCE IN GEORGIA.
The State Convention Declares in
Favor of Active Work.
Atlanta, July 24.—The State Temper
ance Convention met here to-day in the
hall of the House of Representatives. C.
R. Pringle, of Washington county, was
elected Chairman. On taking the chair
he addressed the body. The address was
in regard to the convention’s policy. His
idea was not to take any hand in politics
whatever, but to accomplish temperance
work by moral suasion and in other
ways. Over 100 delegates were enrolled.
The Good Templars, Sons of Temper
ance, Knights of Temperance, and the
Women’s Christian Temperance Union
were represented,
Mrs. S. F. Chapin, of South Carolina,
and T. B. Demarie, of Kentucky, were
present. A numtier of enthusiastic
speeches were made, and a committee
was appointed to prepare a permanent
plan of work. The committee reported a
pian in the afternoon. The name was
changed to ‘“The Georgia Temperance
Association.”
Work will be done by sub-committees in
each county. C. R. Pringle was elected
President of the association. An execu
tive committee will investigate and re
port on the feasibility of establishing a
temperance assembly where meetings can
be held annually. The convention ad
journed sine die this evening.
California’s -Republican Electors.
Sacramento, Cal., July 24.— At the
Republican State Convention vesterdav
six Presidential electors from'the Con
gressional districts and two at large
were elected. The platform adopted
affirms the principles of the National Re
publican platform, declares in favor of a
protective tariff, and denounces railroad
discriminations. The Democratic candi
date for the Presidency is denounced as a
monopolist, Blaine’s attitude on the Chi
nese question is approved, and pensions
for Mexican veterans are demanded. The
convention then adjourned sine die.
West Virginia’s Democratic Ticket.
Wheeling, July 24.—The Democratic
State Convention to-day nominated E.
Wilson for Governor, Patrick M. Duffy
for Auditor, and Alfred Caldwell for At
torney General. The convention is still
in session to complete the ticket. The
resolutions indorse Cleveland and Hend
ricks and the national platform.
KINKS OF DINGLEY'S BILL.
KNOTTY QUESTIONS IX STORE
FOR THE NEW OFFICER.
Continuance of the Avocation of Sailor
Bonner* Hinging on the Construction
of One of the Clauses—The Crew of a
Trans-Atlantic Steamship Revolt
Against One of the Bill’s Provisions,
ashington, July 24.—A knotty ques
tion with regard to the shipment of sea
men awaits the arrival and action of the
new Commissioner of Navigation. The
Dingley bill provides penalties for paying
“any remuneration tor the shipment of
seamen.” Letters have been received
from Baltimore, ostensibly in the interest
of masters, asking if the prohibition
extends to the employment of a run
ner to hunt out seamen at their
boardinghouses and bring them to the
masters. It is urged that the term “ship
ment” under the interpretation of the old
statute meant the procurement of signa
tures of seamen to the customary agree
ment, and then getting him on a s'hip. Ail
this the master, under the provisions of
the new law, must do for himself. The
law seems to be intended as a blow at the
practice of employing runners. If the old
interpretation of the term “shipment” is
held to apply to the new law runners mav
continue to ply their trade substantially
as before.
A CREW DESERTS A SHIP.
Philadelphia, July 24.—When the
time arrived to-day for the steamship
Illinois, of the American line, to 6ail for
Liverpool the crew declined to go aboard,
and were joined by the waiters, firemen,
cooks and tnessmen. Their action was
caused by a determination of the com
pany to take advantage of the now law,
known as the Dingley shipping bill,
which gives American companies the
t ight to ship crews at either or noth of
the ports between which their vessels
run. When the American sailors realized
that they would either have to take their
discharge at Liverpool or return home at
seven dollars a month less wages, the
rate paid to English sailors, they de
cided to strike. The company advertised
for men to ship from Philadelphia to Liv
erpool instead of for the round trip, but
although many landsmen applied the
company was unable to enroll a compe
tent crew. At It o’clock this morning
the Illinois had all her passengers aboard
and cargo, valued at $250,0<X), all shipped,
but there was no likelihood of the sailors
surrendering, and so the company yielded.
The strikers straggled in one by one,
siened the papers on the old plan and at
the old wages, threw oft' the ship's moor
ing and were soon on their way to sea.
INDIANA’S PROHIBITIONISTS.
A State Ticket Named Despite tho
Convention's Split.
Indianapolis, July 24.—The Indiana
Prohibitionists are hopelessly divided on
the nomination of a State ticket, and as a
result the party is holding two conven
tions here to-day. The section favorinsr
the nomination of a State ticket, with
M. E. Shield at tho head, assembled in
English’s Opera House, and effected a
permanent organization by re-electing Eli
F. Ritter, of this city, as Chairman. Mr.
Ritter, on taking the chair, delivered a
speech favoring the nomination of a State
ticket. The faction opposed to the nomi
nation of a State ticket, headed by Dr.
Houser, E. B. Reynold, J. B. Connor, and
others, is in session at the Grand Opera
House.
Mr. Ritter on' taking the chair made a
speech urging the nomination of a State
ticket. A long discussion followed on the
question oi pledging the members of the
convention to support the ticket and
platform, and a resolution to that effect
was finally adopted. About forty mem
bers declined to be bound bv this' action
and left the hall.
A communication was received from
the Anti-State Ticket Convention asking
for a conference. The request was at
Wist laid on the table, but this action was
subsequently reconsidered, ana a Con
ference Committee was appointed.
Nothing was accomplished, however, by
the conference.
The lollowing nominations were made:
For Governor—R. S. Dwiggins, of Jasper
county.
For Lieutenant-Governor—E. C. Siler,
of Hendricks.
For Secretary of State—B, F, Carter, of
Marion.
For Auditor—Eli Miller, of St. Joseph.
For Treasurer—A. J. Taylor, of Allen.
For Judge of the Supreme Court—E. P.
Hammond, of Jasper.
For Superintendent of Public Instruc
tion—Ryland Brown, of Marion.
The State Central Committee was in
structed to name candidates for Attorney
General and Presidential Electors. The
convention then adjourned.

statutory prohibition; favors woman suffrage;
demands that the effects of alcohol on the
human system he taught in the schools; and
eh rges the last Legislature with treachery iu
refusing to submit the pending amendment to
the constitution to a vote of the people.
The faction opposed to the nomination
of a State ticket assembled In the Grand
Opera House and was called to order by
E. P. Reynolds. A permanent organiza
tion was ellecled by making William
Cumback Chairman, with a Vice Presi
dent from each Congressional district.
A proposition looking to harmonious
action with the Sltiel convention
was adopted, and a committee of confer
ence was appointed, but the conference
proved fruitless. Dr. Ilauser addressed
the convention, and in the course of his
remarks charged that Sheil was acting
fraudulently. The meeting finally deter
mined to organize a Constitutional
Amendment Association, the object being
to secure the election of members ot the
Legislature who will vote tor a constitu
tional convention. The convention then
adjourned.

REPUBLICAN ASSESSMENTS.
An Old War Horse Believes that the
Contributions Will be Bather Short.
Washington, July 24. —“I grant
you,” said a distinguished Re
publican, who is also a civil service re
former, “that our National Committee’s
plan for collecting voluntary contribu
tions from department clerks is a perfect
evasion of the letter of the law, but I
don’t think that it will bring much money
into the campaign chest. I don’t think
that the committee will get half as much
as in former years. You see the chances
of success for the two parties are
about equal. The clerks will rea
son thus: If the Republicans win
they will not dare to turn out
a faithful clerk because he did not con
tribute to the campaign fund. If the
Democrats win they will not view with
much disfavor a clerk w T ho did not work
against them, but the clerks who, re
fusing the protection of the law' and
almost violating it, have furnished Blaine
with the sinews of war, cannot expect
much consideration should the Democrats
get in.’’
It is a question whether this reasoning
will seem flawless to the clerks, llow
ever, it is tolerably certain that the col
lectors will not get so much out of the
clerks as usual.

St. Louis, Mo., July 24. —Assignee Cole
took possession of the property of Weare,
Boogher & Cos. yesterday afternoon, and
will make a statement of the condition of
the firm in a few days, when all creditors
will be promptly advised. It is stated
that a proposition will be made to the
creditors to give them notes at twelve
months for the full amount of the indebt
edness, secured by the assets and other
good securities, which w'ill make the paper
fully equal to dollar for dollar. The
members of the firm see no reasons why,
if reasonable time be given them, thev
will not be able to pay dollar for dollar

in existence twenty years, and say that
they would have no trouble had not New

BEATEN BACK BY INDIANS.
Capt. Perrines’ Force Unable to Dislodge
the Intrenched Redskins.
Durango, Col., July 24.—Capt. Per
rines, commanding a detachment of cav
alry in pursuit of the Indians that made
an attack on a cattle camp a short time
ago, found them intrenched in their
stronghold 100 miles west of Blue
Mountain on July 13. After a
severe fight he was compelled to
retire with the loss of one scout and a
cowboy killed. There are 200 Indians
well-armed and so well protected in the
bluffs that it was found impossible to dis
lodge them. Capt. Perrines will prob
ably await orders lrom headquarters lie
fore making any further attack. It would
be only tnrowing the lives of his men
away at a disadvantage to renew the tight’
with the Indians.

Paris, July 24.— There were ten deaths
from cholera at Marseilles last night and
twenty at Toulon.
The number of deaths at Arles reached
thirty-one in two days. A majority of
the people of that town have fled from
their homes.
It is officially announced that the chol
era epidemic at 3larseilles and Toulon is
decreasing. The health of Paris is good.
In the Chamber of Deputies to-dav 31.
Bert questioned tbe government concern
ing the. law relating to epidemics. He
complained that the necessary steps had
not been taken to prevent the spread of
tho cholera.
M. Herison, Minister of Com
merce, in reply said that the govern
ment had resolved to enforce the neees
sary measures, but the Board of Public
Health declared that government action
was not necessary. M. Clemeneeau
moved ttvat a committee composed of
deven members of the Chamber be dis
patched to examine the infected districts,
rne motion was rejected by a vote of 219
to IJ.>. ihe government demanded the
order of the tlay pure and simple, which
was adopted by a vote of 297 to 62.
At Marseilles there were sixteen
deatus from cholera to-dav between
the hours of U o’clock this morn
ing and 6 o’clock to-night. There were
seven deaths to-day at Arles and three at
Lav alette. Four deaths occurred at Tou
lon between the hours of 10 o’clock this
morning and 6 o’clock to-night. The con
dition of Toulon is greatly improved.
Eighteen fresh cases were admitted into
the hospitals there to-dav. The 3londrier
Hospital in that city contains 122 cases,
and only a few of th m are serious.
A member of the Chamber of Deputies,
who has returned from 31arseilles, says
that there have been more deaths in that
city from cholera than have been

HAMILTON FAVORS NO CON KEUKNCK.
Washington, July 24.—“N0,” said
Surgeon General Hamilton, of the Marine
Hospital service, who Is directing the
ellorts to keep out the epidemics, “No;
there is no occasion for the sanitary con
ference which Dr. Ranch, of Illinois, pro
poses to hold in Washington. That is a
project ot the defunct National Board of
Health. 1 don’t think that it will come
to anything. There is nothing for a sani
tary conference to do. The President and
the Cabinet have taken all proper
steps to keep the epidemics out.
vv c have better means of informa-
Uon abroad through the State
Department, and better means of quaran
tine at home through this department
than we have ever had before. Our pre
cautions are as nearly perfect as they can
be. There are no cases of either yellow'
fever or cholera in the country now.
There may bo some sporadic cases of yel
low fever, but there will be no cholera, I
think, in this country this year. 1 don’t
see how it could get in. At all events
this proposed sanitary conference is en
tirely superfluous.”
CANADIAN CHOLERA PRECAUTIONS.
Ottawa, Ont., July 24.—The Depart

at the disposal of the quarantine
authorities at Grosse Isle. Vessels not
displaying signals of sickness aboard at
Grosse Isle will be carefully examined at
Quebec before proceeding to Montreal.
These regulations apply to steamships as
well as sailing vessels. The department
has also issued an order forbidding the
importation ot rags and old paper for the
next sixty days.

CLEANSING THE CITY.
The prompt action oi the Board of
Health last night in regard to the suspici
ous case of fever which had been report
ed as yellow fever, had the effect of allay
ing all excitement upon the subject, if
other suspicious cases occur they will be
promptly reported by the board. Much
complaint has been made concerning the
filthy condition of the streets bf this city.
Mayor Guillotte and the City Council are
now making a vigorous effort to remedv
the evil. In reply to committee of
the City Council the Mayor to-dav said:
that the street question was now receiv
ing his special attention; that he was at
work to find who were direlect and would
immediately suspend them, prefer.cbarges
and bring them before the Council.
If on inquiry at the Street Commission
ers he fails to find exactly who is to blame,
he would suspend the whole office to ar
rive at the bottom of the matter. He says
that, with shame It must be ad
mitted, the streets 'and gutters
are in a frightful condition.
There is green scum almost everywhere,
which is liable to breed pestilence and dis
ease. In conclusion he said: “Gentle
men, 1 cannot impeach anybody, but I can
and will suspend anybody, in any depart
ment, who I think is not doing his duty,
and the Council can try them.”

Maj. Gen. Hancock. The latter will
transfer them to the care ot relatives and
friends upon application. The vessels

The Ross Snake Story.
Pittuburg Ditpnlch.
While Priscilla Martin, of Scrogg's
Neck, was dusting the book-case last
summer, a snake brought in a mouthful
of daisies and set them in a glass ol water
that was standing on the window sill. It
afterwards* made friends with the family
and did various curious things about the
place. It returns every summer, and is
always welcome. It goes down the well
and lastens the bucket on whenever off
the rope, and it hangs from a lie am by its
tail and holds the leather bag that the
young man of the house pounds back and
forward with bis knuckles. Last week,
when they were making a lot of icecream
for a Sunday school pienic, the snake beat
the eggs with its tail, and did it better
and about fifty times faster than it could
have been done in the usual way.
