atorial convention was held in the court
house here to-dav. Up to 5:30 o’clock to

man, then William Little, then I)r. J. N.
Oliobant and then D. W. Aldred, but, after

man. The delegates from Richmond con
cede the right or Jefferson to name the
candidate, but oppose Mr. Warren on
account of his extreme vie* s in regard to
the alliance sub-treasury bill. Richmond
county will in the future have two terms to
one for each of the other counties.

RATS AND CATS.
A Strange Story About Them and
Parisian Officials.
From the Courrier d?s Etnft-Unis.
Here is a story about cats, tha last chapter
of which is connected with the recent de
molition of the old Halle aux Bles in Paris.
About twenty years ago this cat colony
was founded in the most natural way in the
world. One fine day the millers became
aware of tho fact that an innumerable army
of rats was encamped in the halle. The in
vaders tore the sacks and helped them
selves freely to the contents. With the view
of putting an end to this bad s ate of affairs
the millers placed rat traps in all the corners
of the old building, but this turned out
to be useless. Then they had re
course to the natural enemies of rats, and a
few installed in tho halle. For
some time everything went on very well.
The cats created such havoc aud iacreased
and multiplied so rapidly that in a short
time the p ace became untenable for rats
and the siege was raised. But in a few
more years the cats became so numerous
that they in turn were an intolerable nui
sance. The directors of the halle then pur
chased about half a dozen bulldogs, speci
ally trained to kill catq but, as the French
say, the expedient didn’t have any suites,
because the cats took refuge in inaccessible
places and looked down upon the dogs with
contempt. Then the directors undertook to
starve them out, but that plan didn’t work
either, because all the old women in the
neighborhood began to feed them. And so
they weut on still increasing. In despair
the directors sent to the police headquarters
a formal complaint agaiust the cats, and,
w hen all the formalities were duly com
plied with, an officer was sent cut with a
package of p Ison from the municipal lab
oratory, and the poison, it was expected,
would in a few hours destroy the whole col
ony. But here again disappointment was
created, for the cunning things refused to
fulfill the conditions of the tempting pro
gramme. In other words, they left the poi
soned meat for the dogs. The latter, less
wise, devoured it and died, while the Toms
and Tabbys enjoyed themselves at the feas.s
which the old women gave them. Then war
was declared in dead earnest. Under the
command of M. Mouquin an army of com
missariat inspectors supplied with Flobert
carbines advanced upon the halle.opened fire
upon the cats, and brought them down to a
reasonable number. A great number of
fugitives, however, that had escaped from
the slaughter, encamped in the ruins of the
old building, but, now that these ruins are
removed, the cats that got away are reduced
to the condition of tram ps.
IN THE JAWS OF A MAN-EATER.
Raymond D. Odell’s Fight With Eight
Monster Sharks.
From the Xew York Press.
Norwalk, Conn., Aug. 10.— Raymond
D. Odell, a wealthy New Yorker, who is
summering with his family at Phipps Point,
Green’s Farms, a seashore resort five miles
east of this city, had an experience with
sharks early las; Friday evening that he
will uever forget. Mr. Odell was wading
neck deep in the tranquil waters of tb e
sound treading for clams. His basket was
full, and he was about to retrace his steps to
the shore when on imuense shark with fiery
eyis aud expanded jaws appeared before
him. Others followed, and in an instant
tbe lone fisherman found himself surrounded
by a shoal of tne finny monsters, who made
a cembiued rush at him.
Mr. Odell fought desperately for his
life, keeping the huge black monster alo >f
while he worked his way, foot by foot, into
shallow water. The sharks in the mean
time swam swiftly around their prey,
viciously snapping their great ivory lined
jaws. Mr. Odell used his heavy clatu hook
as a weapon and pounded the noses of his
enemies.
One of the shnrks, more daring than the
rest, made a dash from the rear, taking
Mr. Odell unaware and catchiug his left
arm in his wide open mouth and closing it
with a bang. During the struggle meu
from the shore had been hastening to Mr.
Odell’s relief and were only a few feet away
from him when the shark seized him. Just
a- the shark’s teeth closed on his arm one of
the rescuers leveled a gun at his ugly nose
and tired. The bullet sptd true to its mark,
and although the monster was only s uti ed
he released his hold long enough to tie de>-
pnved of his prey, and Mr. Odeil was
drawn into the boat totally exhausted. Mr.
Odell’s arm is lacerated by tbe shark’s
teeth.
The sharks were of that variety known as
man-eaters, and thav followed the boat on
lt< return to shore as far ns tbe shallowness
fl he writer w< uld permit. There were
eight of the monster- in the school, and the
largest could not have hsen less than ten
feet in length. Bnarks have tieen seen near
here a numtier of tunes this summer end
sever i have been shot by residents along

SESSION OF THE SENATE.
The Tariff Bill the Principal Subject of
the Day.
Washington. Aug. 13. —In the Senate
this morning the House amendments to the
Senate bill to adopt regular rules to prevent
collisions at sea ad to amend the act rela
tive to shipping commissions were pre
sented. and on motion of Mr. Frye con
cur ed in.
The Senate then proceeded to executive
busies*.
The d'-ors were reopened at 11:10 o’clock.
Tne resolution offered by Mr. Edmunds
yesterday limiting the debate on the tariff
bill was laid t efore tne Senate, and was,
on motion of Mr. Aldrich (who said Mr.
Edmunds was aware of bis purpose! re
ferred to the commit ee on rul s.
Mr. Blair’s res.iu ion, auth rizing a pro
vision for the previous question, took the
same direction on his own motion.
Mr. Quay’s resolution, providing among
other things for a vote on the tariff bill on
Aug. 30 was, on motion of Mr. Aldrich, re
ferred to the committee on rules, after a
statement by Mr. Quay that he understood
the reservation of the general appropr.ation
bills to include the river and ha. Dor bill.
TRYING TO RING IN THE ELECTION BILL
Mr. Hear offered an amendment to Mr.
Quay's resolution, so as to include the fed
eral election bill among the measures to re
taken up for consideration at the present
session. The amendment was referred to
the committee on rules.
The House joint resolution extending the
provisions of the existing laws providing
temporarily for the expenditures of the
government to Aug. 29, was laid before the
Senate and passed.
The tariff bill was then taken up.
The pending question was on Mr. Vest’s
amendment, offered on Mo iday, reducing
the duty on tin plate, 2 2-10 cents, to 1 cent
pound (the existing rate), and Mr.
Gray continued his argument against
the proposed increase and in
support of the amendment. He
pleaded the case of snail canning fac
tories in Dole ware, Maryland, New Jersey
and other states, and asked that increased
taxation should not be taken out of their
pockets for the bonefit of a bloated syndi
cate formed to establish a manufacture not
now existing and where the work was to
be done by imptrted Englishmen and
Welshmen.
The bill was temporarily laid aside an 1
the conference report on the Indian appro
priation bill was pr esented and agreed to.
GORMAN TAKES UP THE FIGHT.
Mr. Gorman then took up the tariff da
bate and made a speech against the pro
posed increase of the duty on tin as follows:
“I know that nothing which we
can say will affect the majority.
You (addressing the republican side)
have entered on tbe passage of
an act which lays throughout its every
page additional burdens on the people.
Now that you have this great majority,
counted and fashioned to order, you will
pass the bill, and you will impose these
heavy burdens on the agricultural people of
the country. We cannot stay you. Al
though we cannot stop you, at all events we
have done one thing that was right
and necessary—that is, we have had free
and open discussion of this matter. The
time has come (as I take it) when we are to
vot- upou it. The decree has gone forth.
We will rely on the American people to re
verse that which we believe to be a great
wrong agaiust the entire country.”
A CONFERENCE ORDERED.
The tariff bill was laid aside informally,
and a conference was ordered on the Senate
Dill in regard to collision at sea, and Messrs,
r’rye, Washburn aud Gorman were ap
pointed conferees on tbe part of the Senate.
Mr. Plumb, from the committee on ap
propriations, reported a joint resolution for
the relief of tbe destitution in Oklahoma,
and said he would ask for action on it to
morrow.
The House bill making an appropriation
for an additional clerical force in tbe pen
sion bureau was taken from the calendar
and read for amendment.
Various amendments reported by the
committee on appropriations were agreed
to, and the bill was passed.
The Senate then proceeded to considera
tion of executive business, and at 5:40
o’clock adjourned.
LEFT WITHOUT A QUORUM.
The House Lacks Enough Votes to
Sustain the Speaker
Washington, Aug. 13.—1n the House
to-day Mr. Springer of Illinois called atten
tion to what he claimed were omissions in
the journal of yesterday’s proceedings, in
cluding the omission of any reference to the
point of order made by him, and moved
that the journal be corrected. The motion
to amend was lost by a vote of 78 yeas to 88
nays, and the journal was approved.
Mr. otruble of lowa asked unanimous
consent for consideration of the joint reso
lution authorizing the unexpected balance
of the money appropriated for the Missis
sippi flood sufferers to be used for the re
lief of destitute persons in Oklahoma.
BELDEN AS AN OBJECTOR.
Mr. delden of New Yora objected.
The next two bills presented were also
objected to by Mr. Belden, and it becoming
evident that no business could be transacted
by uranituous consent, Mr. Brewer of
Michigan presented the conference report
on the fortification bill. The report was
agreed to.
Mr. Cutcheon of Michigan called up the
Senate joint resolution permitting Lieut.
G>l. Henry C. Corbin, U. S. A . to accept a
position on the world’s Columbian exposi
tion. The House refused by a vote of 27 to
6S to order the resolution to third reading.
The speaker laid before the House the
Senate bill for the relief of Nat McKay
and the executors of Mr. Donnelly, who
seek compensation for work upon monitors.
LEFT WITHOUT A QUORUM.
Mr. Springer raised the point of order
that the bill must be considered by commit
tee of the whole.
The speaker overruled the point of order
and Mr. Springer appealed. On sustaining
the deci ion of the chair the vote stood
108 yeas to 21 nays, no quorum.
A call of the House disclosed a bare
quorum, which disappeared when the vote
recurred on sustaining the decision of the
speaker.
The House then at 4:20 o’clock adjourned.
A Million Pairs of Stockings a Day.
Feu) York Letter to the Washington Star.
I was told to-day by one of the prominent
hosiery mereha .ti that the production of
seamless hose in this country was about
100,0 K) dozen pairs daily. This seems in
credible, and yet my informant is a man of
wide aud accurate knowledge of the trade.
A daily production of 1,200,000 pairs of
stockings would mean 7,000,000 pairs each
working week, or 350,000,000 pairs a year,
an average of five pairs to each man,
woman, child, bedridden invalid and picka
ninny lu the land. And this covers only
one class of stockings, though probably tbe
most numerous oue. Of course, the bulk is
of tbe cheapest qualities, those that sell in
the trade for 50 cents a dozen and there
abouts. But how are they used, and where
do they go* It is almost as deep a prob
lem as the death and the future life of the
pin. These statistics throw a strong light
ou the gigantic dimensions of the clothing
trade-. We scarcely put hosiery ami u -
derwear among the important divisions of
dry goods, ad yet ti e transactions are be
yond the scope of an ordinary Imi dilation.

From the London Truth.
The newspapers are all quoting with sur
prise a paragraph fr in a "German journal
pointing out the fact that a je.-son may
walk through seven German states in seven
I hours. Before Bismarck remodeled Ger-
I many the road from Frankfort to Hamburg
' .about ten miles) took the traveler by five
states—Frankfort, Darmstadt, Nassau,
Ca->sel and Hamburg.
I remembe-in these days finding myself
seated for several days at a table of d’hot
by the side of a very agreeable Ge . man. I
took into my head that he was the head
waiter of some hotel on bis travels. When
he was leaving he told me that he bad in
habited some town, (I forgot new the name)
and invited me, if I ever came there, to
look him up.
“Certai Jy,” I said; “what is the hotel
where you are?”
“I do not live in a betel,” he replied, “I
live in the palace, for I am tpe sovereign of
the country.”
A cloud-burst in the Santa Rita mountains,

such as deer, bears and wolves, were caught

adding thereto and at the end of said act the
following words: “And for the widows of said
