A MKKTINO OK KD.MI'NDS* PItIKKDS. A mating of Ednuttuls’ frtenh> was held in tho rooms of the Massachusetts delegation, at the Lehmd Hotel, this morning. There were about one hundred persons present, including representatives from Massachusetts, Vermont. New York. New Hampshire, Michigan. Minnesota and Missouri. Senator Hoar, of of Massachusetts, presided. Addresses were made by the chairman. ex-Goveruor Smith. Fred. K. Billings, of Vermont. George William Curtis, Theo. Roosevelt and Andrew 1). White, of New York. ex-Governor Long. of Massachusetts, and <WlwgateK from Minnesota awl Michigan- No resolutions were passed, or other formal action taken, but the purport of all speeches was that Edmunds’ friends would stand by him until nominated, or till tlio convention should offer them the name of a man representing tlio principles winch Senator Edmunds’ name stands for. Tlio Now York delegation had a protracted and very interesting meeting with closed doors, for the purpose of organizing, to night. At the outset the Edmunds and Blaine men voted together, and having a majority, elected their men. Under this combination George William Curtis was chosen chairman of the delegation, Speaker Titus Sheard of the New York Assembv. for assistant secretary of con vention, and E. IT. Hobbs, for member of the committee on credentials. Thus far the Edmonds men had voted consistently with the Blaine delegates, and having helped choose four of the eight officials, suddenly changed front and voted with the Ar thnr men, that combination choosing the remaining four. Asa result of to-night’s balloting Mr. Sheard estimates that the delegation will stand: Blaiue 27, Arthur BO to til, Edmunds u to ir>. At a meeting of the Pennsylvania delegation to-night, it was decided to present the name of YalusUa A. Grow, for permanent chairman of the convention. One of the delegates estimates that Pennsylvania will vote. Blaine. 40: Arthur, 14. Others give Arthur as high as 17. AN ANTI-AKTHUK CIRCULAR. Supporters of Blaine Declare that lie Can Easily Carry New York. Chicago, June 2. — A circular bearing the title: “New York for Blaine, the Voice of the Empire Btate Calling James G. Blaiue to Lead to Victory,” will be given out to morrow. It will read as follows: To the National Republican Convention: The Republican districts of the State of New York, under the rule of direct popular representation, have declared emphatically ainl unmistakably for James G. Blaiue. and this is tbeir message to the national Republican convention: “Mr. Blaine can get more votes in the State of New York than any other man. and carry Lhe .State triumphantly." An analysis of ‘lie Republican representation in the national convention, on the bawd-* of the presidential vote es shows that from President Arthur’s own State a decided majority of the delegates to the convention are opposed to his nomination; that the overwhelming wepouderauce of the delegate* from districts giving Republican majorities is for Blaine; that twelve ReimbKcan districts and four Democratic districts are lor Blaine; that five other districts sent Edmonds or anti-Arthur delegates, while but live Republican districts send delegates for Arthur, the large majority of his support coming from ten Democratic districts; that in the Blaine districts there is an aggregate of 63,773 Republican majorities, against 17,450 Republican majorities in the Arthur districts, with 5.156 Democratic majorities in the Arthur districts. These facts and figures are conclusive that in New York, as in other Status where electoral votes may lie given to a Republican candidate for President, the direct Republican expression is in favor of James G .Blaine’s nomination—indeed, that he is the accepted leader of the Republican party to assure a victory. In fail confidence that, with .fames <4. Blaine as the Republican standard-l>earer, the .State of New York will give him its elec tori id vote, the undersigned delegates from that State commend the above statement to the favorable consideration of the national convention.

FACTS AND RUMORS. lPafllatisfaction Over Clayton’s Selection— How Might Be Chosen. Chicago, June 2.—There is much excitement to-night over the selection of Clayton as temporary chairman of the convention. This feeling is confined mostly to delegates opposed to Blaine, but thore ore a number of Blaine adherents who express dissatisfaction at the choice of the national committee. So intense. indeed, is the feeling upon this subject that apian is on foot to attempt to defeat Clayton in the convention to-morrow, and elect lion. B. K. Bruce (colored). Register of the United States Treasury, in his stead. The feeling in some quarters is exceedingly bitter, and that a strong effort will be made to compass Clayton's defeat seems very likely. The Arthur men have detei wined to stand firmly by their candidate to the last, and will make uo combinations looking to the selection of any other man. They snv this is their firm purpose. and if the Edmunds men ind others wish to nominate Blaine >y refusing to support Arthur, they must take rhe responsibility. Thore has been much quiet talk to-day about the possibility of nominating General Sherman. it is said that a dead lock is highly probable, and that at the proper time some prominent delegate might present the name of Gen. William Tecumsen Sherman, the l*and at the same time striking up “Marching through Georgia,** when, the General’s friends say, he will go through with an enthusiasm which cannot be controlled. This has been suggested so many times, to-day. as to excite considerable comment. When the objection was urged that the General did not desire the nomination, and will not take it. the re ply in every instance was: “We Uuow he will accept if nominated. ” THE CURIOUS CROWD. The Hotels .Jammed with Sight-Seers. Including Many Ladies. Chicago, June 2.—The hotels wore besieged to night by a host which jammed the lobbies and corridors to the point of suffocation. It was compassed of people aimless in their wander lugs, save possibly of being near the scenes of supposed action. They lound, how ever, the headquarters either emptied of delegates, or else barred against their entrance. At the Grand Pacific theygrav Stated into the commodious Blaine quarters, pos sessed themselves of tho campaign literature scattered about profusely, viewed tho monoton ously recurring pictures of the Maine man, then struggled painfully to extricate themselves from the mass, and toiled through tho packed hall wars to renew the experience in the Arthur and Logan headquarters. The, incredible feature .was the presence ot stylishly-attired ladies in great numbers, who followed their escorts tlteotigh all the phases of the crush and endured the rising clouds of dust and close atmos phere with a stoicism worthy ot a better cause. At the Palmer provisions had. iu a measure, been made against a crush by the stationing of policemen at all the main entrances, and the marchers were kept in lino and compelled to move up and down shtirways. The crowds showed no pie . eptible diminution in numbers until towards 11 .’clock, when locomotion became a little more ■reo and unrestricted, but the stone floors and he canvass which covered carpeted floors showed n the dust which covered them the impress of he army which had marched over them during >ur unbroken hours. THE NATION AI. COMMITTEE. Contested Cases Disposed Of—Powell Clayton lor Temporary Chairman. Chicago, June 2. —The national committee resumed its session at 12:15 this afternoon. Jos. E. Lee appeared as proxy for Wm. W. Jf i<*ks, of Florida. The sub committee, through Horace Davis, it 1 * •bairmail' to which was referred the case

of the contenting delegation from the First Georgia district, reported, declaring that the c ommiLtee bad considered only the proceedings in the district convention as bearing on the prinia facie case of the two parties, ami did not go into the merits of the split prior to that con vention. They found that the proceedings of that convention were of an irregular ami turbulent character, with very conflicting evidence as to its merits, but the committee deemed, on the whole. that the prana facie case was with Alexander N. Wilson and Lauriut Blue and their alternates. Mr. Pevereux moved as an amendment that the matter be referred to the committee on credential, and that no names be placed on the rolls. Lost. Mr. Devereux then moved as a substitute that the namesjof Johnson and Green be placed on the rolls. Defeated. The report of the committee was then adopted. Senator Jones reported verbally in the matter of the First Alabama district in favor of Messrs. Slaughter A West, and the report was adopted without debate. Senator Platt reported in the matter of the contest in the Twenty second Pennsylvania district, putting upon the rolls Mage© and Flynn, which was adopted without debate. With respect to the contest in the Twenty-first PetinsyfVanin district, the committee recommended that neither Buyers nor Wentling be placed on the rolls. This would leave Mr. West as the only delegate from the district whose seat is not contested. The committee reported that neither Sayers nor Wentling had been regularly elected. Senator Jones asked if the committee intended to disfranchise the district Mr. Magee thought, as the presidential preference of the contestants were divided, some of both should be admitted and be given half a vote each. A vote was taken upon the report of the committee. and it was adopted. Mr. RunneUs, of lowa, iu tho matter of the Tenth New York district, reported in favor of John J. O’Brien and Matthew H. Brady, and tlio report was adopted without debate. In the matter of the Nineteenth New York district the same committee reported in favor of George Campbell and Herman Griggs, recommending that their names be placed upon the rolls. Adopted without debate. In the matter of the Fifth Kentucky district, the committee reported in favor of admitting Silas F. Miller ana John Mason Brown, and the report was adopted without debate. The same action was taken in favor of Edward Farley and I>. C. Bragg. In the matter of the Second Illinois district. Senator Aldrich submitted a majority report iu favor of admitting \V. S. Powell and W. E. Kent. Mr. Boutelle, of Maine, submitted a minority report in favor of W. 11. Ruger. Mr. Cook, of Illinois, moved. a 3 a substitute, that tho names of Huger and Paper bo inserted instead of the names imported by the majority of the committee. Mr. Boutelle supplemented his recommendation with a Jong written report giving his version of the contest. The contest grew out of the re-apportionment of the congressional districts, by which certain members of the district committee became residents of another district, but joined in a call for primaries, which resulted in the election of the persons recommeuded in the majority report. The contestants were chosen by a convention ealled by tho district committee, which claimed to have been regular ly elected by a popular vote. Tbe substitute was adopted by a vote of 20 to 20, and a vote was then ordered upon the report of the committee as amended, the substitute being regarded as in the form of an amendment. It was adopted by a vote of 23 to 19. In the matter of the Fourth Maryland the coin imtteo’s report m favor ot James Eardon and Henry J. Rogers was adopted without debate. Mr. MeGee moved a reconsideration of the vote in the matter of the Twenty first Pennsylvania. which was carried. He then moved that the name of Sayres be placed upon the roll, whirli was carried. Mr. Martin then offered the following resolution: “Resolved, That the thanks of this committee are due to the citizens of Chicago generally, and especially to the committees on arrangements and finance, charged with the duty of providing a suitable place of meeting, and making other provisions for the assembly of the national Republican convention, for the ample and careful arrangements perfected by them.” The (’hair stated that nominations were in order for temporary chairman of tho national convention. Mr. Bunnells, of lowa, offered the name of Senator George F. Hoar, of Massachusetts, a gentleman who. in the midst of the exciting features of the convention of four years ago, had presided with tliat rare wisdom which had commended him to the good opinion of every delegate in that body. Haul Strobach. of Alabama, seconded the nomination. The member firotn Louisianasaid lie voiced the sentiment of the members from the Southern States in according all honor to Senator Hoar, and they would, doubtless, like to see him chosen for the permanent chairmanship. but in tho distribution of the honors to be conferred by the convention he thought, as a recognition of Southern Republicanism, that in naming a man for a position not fraught with patronage, it could be gracefully given to a Southern Republican. He named Powell Clayton, of Arkansas. Mr. Canady, of North Carolina, seconded the nomination. Mr. Stone, of Michigan, said that in obedieuce to the vote of his State delegation, he desired to nominate Roswell G. Horr. of Michigan. .Mr. Jlageo, of Pennsylvania, nominated Galusha A. Grow, of Pennsylvania. The vote stood as follows: For Clayton—California, Colorado, Illinois. Indiana. Kansas. Louisiana, Maine. Mississippi, Missouri. Nebraska. New York, New Jersey. North Carolina, Oregon. Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Arizona. Dakota, Idaho, Montana. New Mexico, Washington, Wyoming, Utah—total, 27. For Senator Hoar —Alabama. Connecticut. Frorida, lowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts. Minnesota, Nevada. Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont. District of Columbia—total, 13. For Mr. Gtow —Pennsylvania. Delaware. For Mr. Horr —Arkansas. Michigan—total. 2. A motion to make the vote unanimous brought out three dissenting votes. 51 r. Clayton said: Gentlemen of the Committee—l deem it proper to return thanks for the honor you have conferred upon me. not as being rendered to me personally, but to the section which 1 in part represent. I also accept it with pleasure as haring no significance whatever as to its bearing upon the nomination of a candidate for President. In fulfilling the functions of the office, if there be any mistakes, they will, gentlemen, lot me assure you, l>e of the head and uot of the heart. The committee adjourned until 11 o'clock tomorrow. . CONVENTION GOSSIP. Inability of tho Newspapers to Rise Above Personal Prejudice. Special to St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Chicago*may be a good place iu some resects for a convention, but the strangers within her gates very soon discover that there isn’t a first-class newspaper here capable of rising above prejudice aud dealing fair ly with all candidates. They show the same political bigotry that has always characterized the New York papers. There arc organs here, several of them, but in their eagerness to better the chances of their respective favorites, they are short-sighted, not to say dishonest. In giving alleged expressions of opinion from delegates they distort language until the intended meaning is lost. Asa general illustration of this lack of accuracy, take? a sample of the Tribune * convention news this morning. That paper, ror the second time in five days, publishes a list of Southern delegates said to hold federal offices. There are m the South Carolina section alone, five glaring misstatements. A gentleman L catalogued as a deputy collector of internal revenue who bus been a railroad president aud is now a retired capitalist. This misrepresentation and distortion is carried to such lengths that the unreliability is generally nvognized, and the influence of these papers upon Ihe delegates is entirely lost, while their journalistic character is damned. Senator Mahout*. Chicago Inter Ocean. The figure, that, attnocted the greatest amount of attention at the Pfclmer House yesterday was that of Senator William Mahone, of Virginia, lie looks younger and less can -worn than he did four years ago, when in attendance at the national eon van l ion in t’ni- city. Ho has the snnae kmc beard, streaked with gray and tapering to a point; the inane drooping inusLiehe, the sanue mass of lutll block, holi-gray hair falling almost to hi- shoulders, and the ‘-unu* ‘■••inisquint to hi- shrewd looking ©yes. There was no change noticeable about tho Senator except in Ins clothe.-, which were new, though of the same style

which he is always stppn*ed to have worn. HU short and trim figure was encased in blue broadcloth coat | and peg-leg trousers; the latter very wide at the top and narrowing down so to lit clo.-ely about the top j of the long, narrow gaiter which protect- 1 * his small and aristocratic hint. The Senator** hat was ai.-o new —a soft, white felt, cruslied in the crown. Wherever the .Senator stood and toyed with his uuurtaeJn* or hU l heavy gold neck-chain with his slender hand, he attracted genera] attention. People crowded up aud stared at him, and he was kept almost constantly on the move to avoid the close inspection prompted by ill-bred curiosity. A lloycottiug .Scheisc that Failed. (.'hieago Times. The artists in a tonsorial establishment near the Palmer resolved tho other day to boycott any one of their number who should so far forgot the dignity of the profession as to shave any one of the negro delegates. A cinnamon-colored gentleman leisurely walked into the shop in question yesterday morning, and, depositing 175 pounds of statesmanship in an easy chair, awaited the cry of ‘next.” When the opportune moment arrived, the gentleman seated himself in a barber's choir aud requested the chinscraper to give him a close shave. Tho employe, forgetting the understanding arrived at between himself and his fellows, lathered his customer, and, amid the scowls and frowns of his colleagues, gave the supposed delegate a fair specimen of tbe average shave. When the colored man left the palace, the barbers with one accord roundly abused the recreant comrade, and wanted to know “why in thunder lie had shaved u darky?" “lie gave me a great big dollar, ” retorted the barber. “Wonder who he is?" was asked by a cross-eyed friend who wa,s industriously strapping a razor. “It was .Senator Bruce,” retorted a prominent politician, “and you fellows don’t know your luck to get to shave hi nit” It is a fair presumption that Senator Bruce stands pre-eminently high in that particular barber shop from this time forward. Ohio and Illinois Delegates Organize. Chicago. June 2.—Ohio organized this afternoon as follows; J. B. Foraker, chairman; E. S. Sampson, •secretary of the delegation; A. S. Conger, member of national committee; Edwin Cowles, vice-preßideut; Clarence E. Brown, assistant secretary; Mark A. Hanna, committee on credentials; Samuel Craighead, committee on permanent organization; Alpnonso Hart, committee on ruins and order of business; Wju McKinley, jr., committee on resolutions; S. N. Fields, assistant sergeant-at-anus. The following is the Illinois organization; Chairman, S. M. Culloni; vice-president, John A Rinaker: secretary, (’has. L. Stratton: credentials. Burton C. Cook: organization. R. A. Holbert; rules, L. C. Collins; resolutions, Clark E. Carr. The Blaine Men from the Pacific (foasr. Chicago, June 2.—To-night the members of the Pacific coast delegation visited the Texas and other Southern delegations, at the Sherman House, where they were received with rousing cheers. W. W. Morrow, of San Francisco, and others, spoke. At the conclusion of Mr. Morrow's speech, his party left for tlie Grand Pacific Hotel, while the cheers for Blaine aud the men from the Pacific coast could be heard for block* away. The coast people, with their helpers from Colorado, Nevada and Oregon, will make a round of all the other hotels tonight for the purpose of visiting the different delegations. Fred Douglass' Arrival. Chh'AGO, June 2.—Fred Douglass arrived to day, and was probably the most eagerly listened-to man of any among the crowds in the Sheruum House rotunda. More than one attempt was made to worry him by reference to his recent marriage. Ho with difficulty preserved his temper, and retorted good naturally. Mr. Douglass said the colored delegates, being mostly office-holders, felt bound to vote for Arthur, but when tho break came the bulk of their votes would undoubtedly go to Ijogau. Tho Union Club of Philadelphia. Chicago, June 2.—The Union Republican Club, of Philadelphia, 112 strong, all dressed in light gray, put in an appearance this afternoon at the Tremont House. Among them were Congressman Bingham, William Bunn, Governor-elect of Idaho, General Snowden, director of the Philadelphia mint, ten members of tlie Legislature and a number of prominent merchants. They accompany the Philadelphia delegates, and will, it is said, boom no particular candidate. Notes from Various Sources. Word is received from .Senator Conkling that if Blaine is nominated lie will make speeches for him in tlie campaign. A confidential circular was freely distributed among tlie delegates, stating that a speculative firm in the vicinity of the Fulmer House would "pay a liberal price” for convention tickets. “All negotiations strictly confident*!." George William Curtis and Stephen T. Hoyt, delegates from New York, were in the convention that nominated Lineoin in 1860. Carl tkihurz, who is here with tho Republican conference committee, was aiso iu that convention as a delegate from Wisconsin. An impression prevailed on Sunday that the Blaine leaders would insist on finishing the vote on the day the ballotiug begins, but that the other candidates would insist iq>on an adjournment after three ballots, to prevent a rush to any man who appeared to bo in the lead. The ticket of admission to the convent ion designed, engraved on steel, and printed by the Western Bank Note Company, of Chicago, is u beautiful work of art. In the center of the main ticket is a splendidly executed vignette engraving of tho White House aud the main approach thereto. Above this, in a curved panel, are the words “ Republican National Convention," the back-ground being covered with line lathe work. In the lower right-hanu corner appears the well-known autograph of John C. New. There are twelve coupons for sessions. The tickets will not be mutilated, but eau bo kept by the holder as a souvenir. All are on white paper, those for delegates being printed in brown ink. for alternates in blue, for the press in green, for the stage in red. The reverse side is covered with lithographic lathe work and the sessions for which the coupons are good are numbered again in red ink.

THE I'.UUIIiK ON BUTLER. Granger Logic on tlio Candidate of the AntiMonopolist), and Oreenbackers. Springfield Republican. Thus, an old Vermont fanner, in reference to a political event of the past week: Nomernated old Ben, have they? The anty inonuplists, out to Chicago. The ‘ anty-monopoly party"—l dunno jest what that is. ’Bout like a pitenfork that haint got no tines nor no stail, I guess. Then the papers say tliat the Greenbaekers are goin’ to nomemate him—them fellers that b’leeves in makin’ suthin’ outer nothin’—or pretends to. The idee is to get a purchase on the Demmecrats and make them nomemate him, and some on ’em seem to think they’re reely goin’ to do it. Ben Butler "11 be President right away. I ’spose. There's some that don't want if that are afraid, too. “Butler ‘carried Massachusetts,’” they say, “and there ‘ain’t no tellin.’” Wal, I dunno: mebbe they're a little fast. A whole school deestrick don’t have tiro jim jams jest ’cause one man gets more’u lie can carry. Don’t I wish the Demmercrats would take him? No, I don’t. It won’t make no difference how sure they'd he of gotten’ beat--there’s o ther things to think of besides heatin’ Demmercrats. ’Twouldn’t look jest right —that’s the trouble. Some of them old fellers down to New Orleans wouldn’t like to vote for him much, would they? lie! he! he! Old Ben was enough for 'em down there in war times! Oh! Ben ain’t nobody s fool! But I ain’t no great of a Butler man He’s smart—ob, yes: lie’s smart enough. So's Sim Wheeler that lives over on t'other road. There ain't nobody in this town that can hold a candle to him playin' old sledge—but we don’t want him for selectman much. And mebbe some on 'em sees Ben a little bigger'n lie is, anyway, f never knew anybody that was so smart but what there was somebody just as smart. I see old Ben last fall—went down to Asy's in old Springfield, yo know, and stayed quite a spell 'long with him and Jane and the boys. Them littlo chaps—law! They think they're jest about made when grand'pa comes from Vermont; they do! Cornin' up here bimeby to help gvan'pa hay it, Wal, Ben made a speech there one any, and I went. Pitched in, ye know, jest been nomernated Guvnor again, and felt pretty tollable good. Yes, I liked to hear him a while. Raid lots of funny things to make folks luff, lie's cornin’— knows who’s most pop’lar in a r irk is ring, ye see. But, while he was talkin' they gave me a little book about Tewksbury biz’ness that I couldn’t stand, no way. Pieters in i' to make any docent man sick to his stomach. Showed what luck be’d bad though. Yo know w hen a man reely ketches suthin’ ho don't sneak ‘round and rub rotten fish on his elo'es, jist for the smell. Big bugs down below didn't much like the notion of havin' old Ben on top of the heap, ‘‘Guv'nor Butler!" Made 'em squirm some. He! lie! Wal, got elected once, and give 'em a blamed doggin' the second time. Seared ’em 'bout to death. They all \\ cut at Ben, hammer and tongs. Butler’s a ■'black sheep," they said. “Wlmt if 1 be!" said

old Ben. “What if I be? A black sheep's jest as good as any—and better!’’ He kept savin' that, and made loLs of folks b'leeve it. and tlie re they wa. Gallin’ him names didn't do no good —'tain t much tie* dubbin* a wood-pile, ye know. Bat, at* 1 was savin’, I ain’t no Butler man. lie’s a funny feller, and tliat 'ere cock eye of his’n can see into a heap of things—there ain’t no use tryin’ to make a man out wufl&’n what he reely is—hut when it comes right down to biz ups ß 1 want auihtn’ different. He’s one of these ’ere‘‘friends of the people.’’ B’leeves in everything—and nothing—belongs to all kinds of parties—and uot to none on ’em —there ain’t nothin’ ho won’t say and do so’s he can get votes. Got ’bout as much notion of bein’ honest as a plaguy old fox. Don’t pretend to have none, and there ye be. You don’t think no worse of a fox if you do happen to ketch him stoalin* chickens. Wal. we all know jest what old Ben is, and that’s the end on’t. Sick folks gui’ally get a tumble before they get a great ways, and we don’t hear uo more on era. lie’s run a good while. I know; it bents ull nater how he fools ’em down there. But jest ’cause he’s had such a lot of go<xi luck I don’t see no sense in the scary talk that there ain’t no end to. Jest think on’t! What if ho has cut a great dash? Weeds grow biggest on good land, yo know, but I tell ye, where mullin stalks alwus grow its mighty poor pasturin’. A Difference of Opinion. Atlanta Constitution. We believe tho Democrats of Georgia are overwhelmingly for Tilden, and they should send delegates to Atlanta who will see that Tilden delegates are elected to Chicago. Those who claim that the Tilden movement is not really for Tilden, can not object to having the delegates elected squarely as Tilden delegates. That is just what we should like to see. If this is done, we should be perfectly willing to see them go for any other man for second choice. We are for Tilden first and last, because Tilden means Democratic victory. Bavannnli, Ga., New*. We have not sympathized with the movement to nominate Mr. Tilden. We do not believe that tlie “fraud issue” will win votes. It is too late now to attempt to right tho wrong of 1870. The time to have done that, if it could have been done at all, was in 1880. If there is no particular strength in the “fraud issue,” what strength has Mr. Tilden that several other candidates that could be uamed haven’t! It must bo admitted that there are weak points in Mr. Tiiden’s record. There is no occasion to recite them now. If he should be nominated they would ho made prominent enough. A Tilden campaign would have to be, to some exteut, a defensive campaign. Os nil things, tho Democratic party wants to avoid that sort of a campaign. To be successful it is necessary to make an aggressive fight | * OBITUARY. Death of Judge James L. Worden, of the Superior Court at Fort Wayne. Fort Wayne, InJ., .Time 2.—Hon. James L. Worden, judge of the Superior Court at Fort Wayne, died to-night, after an illness of three weeks, aged sixty-five years. Judge James L. Worden was born May 10, 1819, in Sandisfield, Berkshire county, Mass. His father died when he was only seven or eight years old. A year or two later he moved with his mother to Portage county, Ohio. His youth was spent on a farm, but he had tho benefit of such commonschool education as the county afforded, and de voted himself in some measure to literary pursuits. At tho age of nineteen ho commenced the study of law, and in 1839 entered the office of Thomas J. Straight, of Cincinnati. In 1841 he was admitted to the bar of the Supreme Court of Ohio, at Lancaster. He afterward removed to Tiffin, 0., where he practiced two or three years. In the spring of 1844 he removed to Whitley county, Indiana. Being a Democrat in politics, he took some part in tlie presidential qloction ot’ that year. In the spring of 1845 lie married Annie Grable. daughter of Benjamin Grable, then treasurer of Whitley county. In the fall he removed to Noble county, which, being a larger and more thickly-settled county, offered a better field for the practice of his profession. Pie was soon after elected prosecuting attorney of the Tenth judicial circuit, an office which ho hold by successive re-elections until he was appointed judge of the circuit In 1848 an atrocious murder was committed in Noble county by a man who was indicted, and for trial took a change of venue to Allen county. As prosecutor, Mr. Worden followed the case and brought it to a successful termination. The cordial reception which he met with at Fort Wayne, aud the solicitations of many persons there, induced him to remove to that place iu 1849. Pie practiced his profession until 1855, when he was appointed judge of the Tenth judicial circuit by Gov. Joseph A. Wright, to fill a vacancy occur ring on the bench: and in the same year was elected to the office by the people, without opposition. In 1857, much against his inclination, lie allowed liis name to be placed on tlie Democratic ticket for Congress The district was largely Republican, and he was, of course, defeated. In January, 1858. ho was appointed, by Governor Willard, to till a vacancy upon the Supreme Bench occasioned by the resignation of Judge Stewart, of Logan sport, and a year later he held the office by election. In 1864 he was a candidate for the same office, biit with the rest of the ticket sutfered defeat. In the spring of 1805 he was elected mayor of Fort Wavne, but after holding the office a year, was obliged to resign on account of in creased practice. From 1865 to 1871 he was en Sageti at his profession in partnership with Hon. ohn Morris, the relation being a very agreeable one, and the practice of the firm extensive and lucrative. Jn 1870 Judge Worden was again elected Judge of tho Supreme Court, and took his place on the bench January 1, 1871. In 1876 he was re-elected. The Zoo Theater. The Zoo has another array of good specialty people this week, and tho bill, last night, was en joyed by a large audience. The olio included Maden and Morris in plantation melodies, the Melrose sisters in a vocal sketch, Charles Schilling. a musical artist, Blanche Webster and Alice Sherwood in character songs and dances, and Ada Melrose, who is by odds the briglrtest and cleverest young person who has played here for a long time. U. S. Woods, in his remarkable drama, “Jack Harkaway," alosed the bill, being creditably supported by W. I). Cliaplin, Frank Campbell, Harry Bradley, A. A. Wallace and Miss Ullie. Tho play was put on the stage with new scenery and effects. Professor Keickhofer’s orchestra still continues to bo an attraction. The company will appear during the remainder of tho week.* Died While Coming Home. Ira F. Kiker, a young man whose people live at No. 188 Buchanan street, died on tho C., 1.. St. L. & C. train, near Thorntown, yesterday afternoon. He had been in Chicago for some time, and was taken sick with diphtheria. Ilis father went after him, and they started home yesterday morning.
