Fort Wayne, Feb. 20. Special. The republican convention of Allen county met at 1 :30 this afternoon. W. J. Vesey presided acdK. II. Book waiter was elected secretary. The first move was a fight between the delegates from the townships and those frcm the city as to the method of appointing delegates to the district convention. The country members insisted on selecting their delegates by townships, each township voting for its own. The- city delegates insisted that us it was a county convention the ' delegates should be selected by a vote of the entire body. It was finally decided by appointing a committee to select the thirty-five delegates to the district convention which meets at Auburn March 3. The report of this committee naming the delegate was unanimously adopted. There were also appointed seventeen delegates to the state convention. A very spirited contest arose over the appointment Of delegates tO the State Convention and for the selection of delegates at large to the national convention. Tho faction was favorable to President Harrison, the other was decidedly anti-Harrison. Onlv one ballot was necessary to decide the matter, but it was cast under intense excitement. Tho anti-Harrison men won by a vote of to 4") and the result was received with a wi d sdiout of victory. The convention indorsed Ii. T. McDonald for district delegate. Cj umua City, Feb. .Special. The republican convention held here Saturday to select men to go to Auburn to elect the national delegate ended in a mot disgraceful row. It was clear that the convention was packed by the HarriBon men, but uy some hook cr crook the opposition succeeded m getting the delegate, John V. Baker of the 'ovncreial being elected over John O. Witrent, exprosecuting attorney and would-be Harrison leader. Wigent became eo angry at this that lie denounced Baker very severely, which calied forth cries of: -Shame" and "Put him out." The convention then became an uproar and Witrent declared that there was no one present who could put him out. This wa loo rnucn for (leorge Wallace, the former secretary o' th- committee, and fie volunteered to not only put him out, but to spoil his face in addition. But before the belligerents gut together they wero taken in charge by peacemakers and there was no core. Several other altercations took place little lss sanguinary than the Wallace-Wigent mill, lint those who did not express a desire to light made uu for it by a very skillful use of the queen's profanity : indeed the swearing done by the army in Flanders was not a circumstance to that heard here Saturday. No eifoit has been made to hush the matter up. and the parties openly declare that the fight is only beginning. A prominent republican remarked yesterday tiiat this county would give a majority oi KJ against Harrison this fall considering that the regular democratic majority is ies ti.an four hundred. This w ill be something of a gain. Tiie appointment of a mugwump postmaster here and the ellort to break down the Commercial, the old established republican organ, are the causes at the bottom of the trouble. There will ha a hi? delegation go to Auburn next week to sea the fun. ItiCH.MONj), Feb. 2"-'. Special. Though the machine in politics in this county is working for Harrison the fact that resolutions were passed at the republican conventions in the various townships Saturday indorsing him for a second term, euch resolutions do not by any means prove that there is no opposition to him here. Indeed there is an undercurrent of strong and uncontrollable opposition to him. The Hon. William Dudley Foulke, who made speeches in Harrison's behalf curing the last campaign, has no admiration for the president and will hardly Bupport him if he is acain nominated. A prominent physician of this city, and who is a life-long republican, said last evening: "Yes, Harrison will be renominated for a second term and I am sorry for it, but I am d d glad that he cannot be elected. He cannot carry this state again, and, like many otter republicans, I will not vote for him." Ther are a great many republicans here who express themselyes in the same way. Terp.e Haute, Feb. 20.-'pecial. The democratic primaries tonight to elect delegates to the state convention were in all caes the most exciting ever held in Terre Haute. The question was, Cleveland or Gray? and it was a battle from start to finish. All ten wards of the city were contested by both sides, and separate tickets were run. Four of the delegates . elected are for Cleveland and sixfcr(irav, but several of the latter will vote for Cleveland for second choice. Not one of the delegates i for Hill, and atthe Fourth ward primary Hill's name met with such a shower of hisses that it seemed Dearly unanimous. The fight in the First ward was the center of attraction, where Editor W. C. Ball of the Cazctte was the Cleveland delegate and Samuel II. Hamill the anti-Cleveland delegate. No other issue waa injected and it was a square np and down light, Ball winning by nearly 5 to 1. H vMMojrn, 1 eb. 20. Special. The republicans met at Crownioint today and selected delegates to the district and state convention. I Resolutions to instruct the delegation to support ex-Senator Yonche as a delegate to the national convention, also the instructions for Charles F. (iriflin, ex-secretary of state as a de'egato at large, were promptly tabled by administration people.. The antis were unable to do anytiint. A bitter feeling was shown and conciliatory remarks were made. Mr. Knott said that republicans were too far away from the people. They must hold cross road caucuses to reach the common people in order to win. rTEKsi:tT.:, Feb. 22. Special. The democrats of Pike county met jn mass convention at Winslow . Saturday. A chairman of the county committee wa3 elected for the next two years and committeemen from each precinct in the county were named. Delegates were also- chosen for the district, jndicial and etate conventions. By unanimous vote the convention instructed for the Hon. Thomas II. Dillon for prosecuting attorney for thi? judicial district, the Hon. A. II. Taylor for congrees from the First district, and the Hen. E. A. Kly for appellate judge. The meeting was attended by the very best u - mocrats of the county, and verythinir went off harmoniously. As to tho men instructed for by the convention, no better men could have been chosen ' for thr respective positions. Mr. Dillon has already served one term ca prosecuting attorney, giving, so far as we can learn, universal satisfaction. II if a good lawyer and a genial man. Mr. Taylor is a lawyer of

Petersburg and has always been a consistent democrat, doing the best of work for tho party, and would ably represent the First district in congress. Mr. Ely is one of the foremost lawyers of Petersburg, having practised here for eome twenty years, during all of which time he has been a very close reader and student of tho law. His knowledge of the law is very extensive and he would make one of the best judces the appellate court could possibly have. Nineveh, Feb. 22. Special. The democratic convention was called to order by the chairman, O. V. Nay, after which the following business was disposed of: O. V. Nay was re-elected township central committeeman for the coming two years. The delegates appointed for the different conventions ae as follows: Foi the state, O. V. Nay; the Fifth congressional district. Kverett Wright and A. M. Dunham; the Sixth judicial district. Joseph Hughes. After the appointing of the delegates there was quite a collection taken up for

the purpose of sending The Sentinel Bilioag uu peopia ui m. a lunusnip. .-it of the townshipa of the state ehould do likewise. Spencku, Feb. 22. Special. The Owen county democrats met in township conventions Saturday to select delegates to the different conventions. Washington township selected Inmart If. Fowler and Winneld S. Johnson delegates to the state convention, and O. L. Dickerson, James S. Meek and F. M. Field to the congressional convention, and instructed them to vote for the Hon. George W. Cooper for congress. Nof.i.eyille, Feb. 10. Special The republican convention of Washington township, this county, was held at Westfield to eelect delegates to the various coming conventions. It ended with a very disgraceful affair, the result of drinking intoxicating liquors'. Several of those who were present tiled their skins with bad whisky, went on a regular spree ana proceeded to paint the town red in the most approved fashion. The resu t was that John Danforth was ehot in the back by an unknown assailant and dangerously wounded. Several others were injured during the melee. Nor.LEsvn.LE, Feb. 22. Special. John Danforth. the man who was wounded at the republican convention held in Westfield last Thursday, died last midnight from his injuries. The entire history of the case, with the capture of the guilty party, came to light for the first time today. Miss Julia Sykes, a lady perhaps forty years of age, was arrested today on a charge of firing the fatal shot, and a short time after her capture was affected she made a full confession of the terrible affair. She was brought to this city this afternoon and placed in jail with an indictment hanging over her of murder in the first degree. Shortly after she was placed in jail a Sentinel reporter interviewed her on her crime, and she conversed freely regarding it, but throughout the entire conversation she assumed the' defensive side. She said that the deceased came to her house intoxicated in tho evening, and in order to prevent Iiis entering she locked the door. This di'i not seem to prevent his efforts from endeavoring to enter, and again she requested him to leave, but to no purpose. It was then when the fatal shot was tired. The prisoner is a fair lookine woman, but has a questionable reputation. The deceased was twentyfour years of age und leaves a wife and one child. MANY SHIPS IN DISTRESS. Disastrous Results of the Storm About Great Britain. London, Feb. 22. As dispatches continue to be received the list of maritime casualties duo to the tierce gale which has just swept over the coast of Great Britain and Ireland grows in length. Among the long list of wrecks is the Norwegian timber bark Sophie, which went ashore at Galleyhead, a promontory of Ireland, in county Cork, between bays of Boss and Clonakilly. She had a crew of eleven men, who would undoubtedly have been lost had it not been for the gallant efforts of tho life-boat men, who, in the very teeth of the howiing gale, put out to the wreck and brought all hands safely ashore. A dispatch from Wexford states that a large steamer bound from Glasgow ior South American ports is stranded at Morris Castle, county Wexford. She got oil her course during the blinding storm that prevailed last night and went ashore at the height of the s.orm. The captain of the steamer, his wile and all the crew safely landed, not much the worse for their experience. Theyatch Surprise has been wrecked at Donaghade, county Down, about sixteen miles northwest of Belfast. The schooner Jane and Alino foundered off bunearven, county Wexford. A trawler rescued be,r crew. The anxiety that was felt concerning the safety of the British steamer Sir W alter Raleigh, which put into Bear Haven. Bantrey bay with her shaft broken while on a voyage from Philadelphia for Falmouth or Plymouth, and which while proceeding in tow for port where she could make repairs, broke adrift and went seaward, has been allayed by her rearrival at Bear Haven. She was picked up at 6ea by the British steamer Ninian Stuart. The British bark Nikaria from Ccquimbo, via Carnat for Hampton Roads was abandoned in latitude 2o" S., longitude 73 W. All hands on board of her were saved and have been landed at Antofagasta, Chili. The body of a man has been thrown ashore by the sea at Penzance. From papers found in his clothing it is believed that he was a native of France. It is supposed that he was one of the men who belonged to the unknown steamer which was wrecked off Penzance. A coat has also come ashore at Penzance, in a pocket of which are a number of letters addressed to CapL Fabrei of the Austrian bark Fratelli B.. which sailed from Antwerp Feb. 15 for Buenos Ayres. A large life boat painted black, which appears to have been washed from some transatlantic line steamer, has stranded at Killiney, county Dublin, two and a half miles southeast of Kingstown. The bottom of the boat was stove and she had been so battered by the sea that the name on her could not be read. The steamer Tunisie is ashore at Lundy island, at the entrance of the Bristol channel. Her crew was taken off by means of the breeches buoy. The British bark Brandon, from Liverpool for Bio Janeiro, has put into Holyhead 'with some of her sails gone. She has also eustained other damage. Terrible weather prevailed in St. Georee's channel last, night. The French steamer Frignac foundered off the Scilly islands and three of her crew were drowned. The remaining seventeen of her crew have arrived at Falmouth. A Flushing mail beat stranded at Queensborough during a heavy fos laet night. Her signals of distress were heard at fcheerness and the British war ehip Scout went out in search of the vessel, but when she arrived at the place whence the signals were heard the vessel had vanished. The weather today throughout the United Kingdom is milder than it has been for some days past. Telegraphic communication which has been more or less irterrupted since the storm be?an over a week ago, is now being restored.

13 POSTMASTER-GENERAL WAN A MAKER IN IT? The Hon. Du.lley Tonika Knows a Good Deal Mora Than II Will Gle Down Ho Sara the Story Ought to II Published Henry Vlllard Mutt Give Permission First A Story that II Waa Offered m Big Consideration If lie Would Contribute to the Ilarrlton Campaign Fond. Richmond, Feb. 4 21. Special. TnE Sentinel representative called on the Hon. William Dudley Foulke this afternoon and interviewed him as to his knowledge of Postmaster-General Wanamakcr asking Henry Villard to contribute ?100,000 to the republican campaign fund in 1SSS, for which Villard should name the commissioner of tho general land office. The reporter said: "Mr. Foulke, there is a story to the effect that during the last campaign Henry Villard was asked by John Wanamaker, now postmaster-general, to contribute $100,000 to the republican campaign fund and he might name the commissioner of the general land office. What do you know about it?" After thinking the matter over Mr. Foulke said : "I did have a conversation with Mr. Villard, but it was a private one and I cannot give it unless I know that Mr. Viilard is willing I should do so. I shall see him in a few days, and if be is willing I will make a statement. The facts ouzht to no before the public." "Mr. Foulke, what is your opinion of Mr. Wanamaker?" "I regard him as a most incompetent man, and he ought not to occupy the place he does. 1 would be glad to give you the information you ask, but I cannot do so." "Mr. Foulke, since you decline to state the conversation you had with Mr. Villard now, without reference to anything told you by him, what is your opinion as to the truthfulness of the story?" "It is not just as you have stated it." "Do you believe, without reference to anything Vill ard told you that a corrupt proposition was made to Mr. Villard by Mr. Wanamaker?" "I have no knowledge really, but I would like to give you the conversation." "Fnless you do, wrong inferences may be drawn by the newspapers." "I cannot help that, but here," said Mr. Foulke. and resting himself at his desk he wrote the following which he handed to the reporter: I did have a conversation with Mr. Villard in regard to the solicitation of campaign funds by Mr. Wanamaker. This conversation was at the Arlington house in Washington a few days before the inauguration of Mr. Harrison. r. Viilard told me of a conversation which ho had with Mr. Wanamaker upon the Eubject, but I do not feel willing to give for publication anv of tho details of this conversation without Mr. Villard's consent. It was not stated that the conversation was confidential, but at the same time it was an interview which I do not now feel like repeating for the purpose of publication." Mr. Foulke afterward said that if ho.i called as a witness in the matter he will gladly etate all the facts within his knowledge. IN CONGRESS. The Action of ttotli Chamber for the Tat Week.

AT CHICAGO. Wheat Market Dull and Generally Liowcr Crop New Conflicting.

XKDIAKAPOMS, l!D t Saturday Eveniko. Feb. 20. f J. W. Louis & Co.'s Chicago advices today were aa follows: After the past few diys of active trading the week finally closes very quiet Local speculator are very much at sea. A few large speculators supposed to tie in New York have traded heavily and at times appeared to have complete control of the market, making some pood turns. During Thursday aud Friday a few local ipeculators, apparently working in harmony, succeeded in causing; a good deal of activity and perhaps have made some very good scalps. One peculiar feature of the week is that cables have been reported higher in London and Liverpool, hut when we finally come to the weekly closing of the English country markets they are reported about 2 pence lower, or nearly '214 cents per bushel. Eastern speculators hare been very strong in tbeir views and reports of large purchases being made by exporters. There were some larce lota bought here for eastern or export shipment when navigation opens. The wheat can now be loaded in vessels at about a 31 j'-cent rate to Bullalo and thus save the storage from the present to the opening ot navigation. This large difference in favor of water shipment ought to induce heavy buyers for April and May delivery. We .think this the only thing that will sustain prices the balance of the month, in the absence of liberal export orders we feel that prices will scarcely be maintained. The receipts of corn the past week hare been liberal, Movement from farmers' hands quite general, and the tendency seems to be to lower prices tor the balance of this month, providing the receipts eontinua as largo as the present indications. The tradinsr in hog product during the week has been very licht, and there have been some fairly good orders for domestic use. Foreigners are not so liberal buyers as was hoped for, and the tendency of the speculative future seems to be at slightly lower prices, especially for mess pork. There will be no Eesttioa of this board Monday. Wheat was lower and weaker today, while corn was quiet and steady. Oats were firmer. Iieceipts for the past twenty-four hours 13 car, against a total of 23 cars for thu preceding day. Wheat No. 2 red, 93c hid; No. 3 red.SDc; rejected, 78'qS5c; unmerchantable, 65(5"5c.

The wheat market was dull anda generally lower today. Telegrsphio communication was serioudy iuterfered with, the bad weather preventing the receipt of news and orders with the usual freedom and promptness and local traders were left largely to their own devices. The bad weather in Great Britain played tricks with the wires similar to those felt in this country and the board of trade did not receive its Liverpool market report until lute in the day, though 6ome private dispatches said that the market was quiet and unchanged, while others quoted prices easier. The board's London cable noted uo change in values there hut Liverpool, which as received was 1 penny lower. Domestic markets were nil lower. Crop news was somewhat conflicting, many private dispatches beiui? very discouraging, but, on the oontrary, the J-'urmas' 11 view had a summary of the situation which was unexpectedly favorable, and the weather reports "indicated" that the danger from the predicted cold wave was past. The committee of the board which was sent to Washineton to oppose the auti-option bill returned this morning, and its members were inclined to the opinion the bill would be probably passed by the honse. This doubtless had something to do with the weakness which prevailed during most of the session. Oa the whole operators were disinclined to deal heavily on either aide acid the result was an unusually email business, witaT fluctuations contined to a rather narrow range. CuJaby was a good buyer of wheat at the start and Jirosseau also bought freely; Pardridgo was believed to bo covering home wheat on all the weak spots, but did not make much redaction in his line. The New York houses were perhaps the best buyers forthe first hour and picked up a good deal. Hie selling was not urgent, still there was about all to be bad that was wonted. Long let go of a good deal and there was some short siaes. The export movement was not very encouraging. New York having cleared but 100,000 bushels yesterday and other points hardly any. I!raihtret'i reported the clearauces of wheat and flour from both coasts last week at 4.043,000 bushels against 3,'it 1,000 bushels the previous week. After the noon hour there was some show of strength for a time, but late cables quoted Far is lower and llerlin 3 marks oil", although Antwerp was a shade higher. This checked the advance and prices receded again. May opened at 93;'(a. Ü3Ji'o strainst 941 ;'c at the close yesterdnv, sold up to 93&i4;, declined to 930. advanced to 9-ic. receded to 93h'c, reacted to 94) gC, weakened and closed steady at 93c. Corn was quiet and easy, the receipt-? were liberal and there was rather free selling by longs, with but little demand. The dullness in trade, with the weakness in wheat and provision, caused corresponding weakness in corn. May lie lower, fluctuate. i all day within a tanga of 4'o aud closed ;'ro lower than yesterdav at 41?c. Oats were quiet and weak and show loss of lie. Hog products were dull and easy simply because trade was dull and the other pits weak. The receipts of live hogS at the yards were smaller limn expected and prices there were firm. Tork cloced with a loss ct 70 on tho active options with lard and ribs showing insignificant changes. Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat 170 cars, coru 630 curs, oats 313 cars, hogs 24,000 head.

All day Saturday and yesterday the "Wabash college fresh in en and sophomores were going mysteriously about with their pockets bulging; out from unwonted burdens oi slungahots and other weapons of warfare. The two preparatory claspei were aleo in arms, tho penes backing tha sophs and the suis the freshmen. They were preparing for tho annual fun attendant on tho "celebration of "Washington's birthday." On Saturday afternoon five freshmen gave it out that they would epend Sunday out of the city, and boarded the train ostensibly ior that purpoas. They got off at tha junction, however, and weDt galloping to tho college. They ascended into tho belfry and there remained for thirty-sir hours. Their object was to be there ahead of the eophomorea and to triumphantly lloat their Hag from the top of the building thia mornini:. Custodian Lurks, who was guarding the building, paw a gang of forty students approaching from the west, bearing long ladders strapped end to end, malting one long enough to reach to tha top of the three-.tory building. They advanced, brandishing long clubs and uttering dreadful grunts. They started to mount Ihe ladders and Mr. Burke rushing out attemped to prevent them. There was a "mix," but Mr. Burke was powerless in the hands of the young men, who whooped and capered about like wild Indians at a giioet dance. AYhen Mr. Burko was powerless to prevent their designs he dispatched one of the Messrs, Leach for the authorities, and Profs. King, Campbell, mith and Thomas were ßoon rusüing through the mud to bear fiuccor. In the meantime the six freshmen in tha belfreyaroused by the noise, came out upon the roof and hoisting their Hag walked to the edge of the building to rap over the cranium with tbeir stulled clubs whoever might appear onvhe top of the ladder. The scaling was gcinpj merrily on when Trof. Campbell's avful voice rose above the din. Hostilities ceased instanter and a death-like silence fell. Prof. Campbell ordered all parties down and tho roof was eoon cleared of llags and combating forces. The young men wereJ2ordered to their rooms and went away into the darkness, but not to their rooms. Gangs of eight or ten could be eeen bobbine here and there through the trees and finally Profs. Smith and Thomas went downtown after the poliee, but "they never came back any more." At about midnight I'rof.s. Campbell and King went home, leaving Mr. Burke by himself. He was watching the buildings to keep olT tha paint Honda when suddenly there came a burst of thunder wild. Dynamite had been used on a small outbuilding, which was scattered far and wide. The explosion made a fearful racket. From that on until morning the rival classes met and battied amonj tho trees. One gang, consisting of Mather and Culbertson, lre.-hman, and Hunter, Rosebaum and Wilkins, tubs, were captured outright by two powerful sophs. These gentle sophs pa22ed and put handcuils on Matter and Culhertson and turned the suhies over to some followers as prisoners of war. The two freshmen, bound like pigs for a market, were tossed unceremoniously into a ID-cent hack and hauled out to a farm sodth of tho city, where they were t'irown on the floor of a smokehouse. Tney were released this morning by a passim milkman and walked back to town. The three snb6 were given over to a band of penes and sophs. Mr. Wilkin began to crv and was accordingly released, being considered too young; and tender for the rude adversities of war. Hunter and Rosebaum were ruthlessly dragged off and imprisoned in the cellar of the Wishard place on W. Wabash-ave. This morning they were released and with blanched cheeks went home full of Ftrango and awful ftories of the cruel barbarities of grim-visaged war and the frightful spirits which haunt the gloomy shades of the "Wi&hard cellar. Iof. Campbell gave instructions to the police last night to lodge in the body of the jail any student detected in wrongdoing. The two classes are stiil on the warpath and Lloodshed is feared tonight. School Itonka nnt the Tariff. INoblesrille L'.tnocrat. The patrons who eend their children to school are very thankful because a democratic legislature passed the new school law which enables them to purchase school books nearly one-half cheaper. A tariff bill, properly formulated, will cheapen the price of goods to the consumers as much in proportion as tho new school book law did. A Little Too Fine. Street A Smith's Good ws.
