THE GHICAGO CONVENTION AD¬ JOURNS UNTIL MONDAY MORNING, When Blaine is to be Nominated, With McKinley as Second on the Ticket. Special to the News. Chicago, June 23.— The fourth ballot in the Republican convention today resulted as follows: Alger 135, Allison 88, Gresham 98, Lincoln 1, Foraker 1, Douglass 1, Blaine 42, McKinley 11, Harrison 21?, Sherman 238. Chicago, June 23.— The fifth bal¬ lot resulted as follows: Blaine 46, Alger 142, Allison 99, Gresham 89, McKinley 14, Harrison 213, Sherman 236. After this ballot the conven tion adjourned till 4 o’clock. Depew took the platform and said that the friends of all the candidates except Harrison had agreed that Blaine should be nominated by acclamation at 4 o’clock. There is a chaooe, how ever, of McKinley coming to the front. The combination suggested is Blaine for President and McKinley for Vice President. Chicago, 8:05 p. ____When the convention reassembled at four o’clock this afternoon, the field bunched against Harrison and car ried a motion, to adjourn until eleven o’clock on Monday. This is held to mean that Blaine is the only maa who can be nominated, and the ticket will probably be Blaine and McKin¬ ley. . Williamson Notes. Williamson, Ga., Jnne 22.— Think ing a few briefs from this qnarter would not be amiss in showing np the progress of this oar little hamlet, I subjoin its status (present) with its future prospects. There are at present three dry goods and groceries houses and one furniture store house. There are many other projects in contem plation for the building np of tbe plaoe. A cotton press would add largely to the cotton trade at tbi 8 place next fall, which would be very convenient and acceptable to Griffin. A company is now prospect ing its building. Little Williamson now, big Williamson then! The name then may become West Griffin. Mr. Editor, I would like to make some mention of one of the officers, W. O, Gwynn, depot and ticket agent of the Atlanta & Florida railroad at this place. His courtesy and polite ness to the traveling public together with his accommodating business transactions will surely win for the road an inflance and p^war to be ap predated. Suffice it to say should the road be officered throughout the line with sneb men as he is, it will be one of tbe most popular roads as a public carrier in tbe State. Now, a word of bis chronological history. He is dcscendent from one of the first families of of Georgia. He mar ried also into an equally distinguish ed family. He belonged to the staff of General John B. Gordon as Lis special courier in the Confederate Ar my, where he won for himself by his gallantry the confidence and esteem not only of those in higher rank, but even those who were tbe more hum ble.

The Temperance union, to which she re¬ ported the matter, agreed to send two dozen Bibles, and other people have promised to contribute .books of various kinds for a library. Two dozen Bibles seems totally inadequate for the convicts, forty five of whom are in for life. Can’t New Orleans do better than that, or do tbe people of that city think the two dozen will urt be read? An incident occurred in New York the other day which would have been impossible among the Bedouin Arabs or the negroes of Senegambia. A Georgia lady and her daughter, refined, highly accom plished, aristocratic, once wealthy but now penniless, went to New York in search of employment in music and painting. They failed in these efforts aud were reduced to ex ceedingly sore straits. Tbe poor girl’s writing desk contained corres pondence iliowing that she had gone to the extremity of seeking employ ment incognito in distributing cir culars in the street. She was even unsuccessful in this pitiful recourse, and pawned her clothes and trinkets for bread, and cast herself from the belfry of ber tenement, seeking relief in death as the only alternative but dishonor or starvation. This could not have happened among tbe bar bariaos of tbe Steppes or tbe Pam pas, lor the simpler the life the more human, but it might have happened in Cincinnati, or Philadelphia, (or Louisville.

Racial Element* of Ro*aia’i Army. Probably the Russian army is the most heterogeneous in the world so far as its ethnology is concerned. From tbe infor¬ mation on the point just issued by the Russian statistical department we leant that of the 227,906 recruits levied is 1883 , the racial composition was as fol¬ lows: Russians 169,052; Poles, 17,213; Bulgarians, 406; Tclieks, 12; Lithua¬ nians, 6,800; Letts, 8,434; Greeks, 166; Moldavians, 2,850; French, 1; Germans, 8,572; Armenians, 142; Bohemians, 39; Georgians, 3; Jews, 10,011; Karelian*. 809, Tcbouds, 20; Esthonians, 2. * Laps. 1: Moravians, 1,707| Syrians, Cherenn ana, 701.
