HARRISON AND MORTON.

Continued from secondjpage. I

Maine scattered its vote as before there were hisses, because of the impression thus made that the Blaine people, in spite of his supposed declination were still trying to manipulate the convention. When New Jersey gave Harrison fourteen votes and New York followed with its entire ~y vote—seventy-two—there was cheering all over the house, but the Indiana delegation, w r ho evidently were still suspicious, did not indulge in any de-r onstration. The break in the Ohio delegation, when J. B. Lucky voted for Harrison, was viewed with alarm by the friends of the latter, because they feared it W’ould antagonize the Sherman men. The failure of Pennsylvania to give Harrison an increased vote was another blow, unexpected as it was hurtful. ’ A standoff was made, however, when Dakota voted solidly for Harrison. The result of the ballot was regarded as favorable by the Indiana delegation, as Harrison had gained 10 votes in Dakota, 14 in New York, 10 in New Jersey, 5 in Colorado, 2 in Delaware, while his greatest loss was 5 in Massachusetts, 2 each in New Hampshire and Kansas and 1 in each of 10 States, a net gnin of 25. At the beginning of the seventh ballot there was a tumult of excitement when California deserted Blaine and voted for Harrison, ex-Chainnan Estee and Haymond leading off. Michener, New and others were running around urging others to follow the lead thus made. Other States gave gains for Harrison, one after another, until New Jersey was called, when there was a falling off of four, but when NewYork voted solidly again for the Indiana candidate there was another outburst of

MCKINLEY, OF OHIO.

applause from the galleries. The vote from Pennsylvania was announced by the Chairman as 57 for Sherman and 3 for Harrison, but when a poll was made it became evident that the delegates were trying to break away from the Quay leadership, as Harrison got 8 votes, the most he had ever had from the State, The significance of this was very encouraging to the Hoosier element, who cheered each man as he voted for their candidate. The result of this ballot was more encouraging to the Harrison men than any qther had been, and the delegation among the other States urging them to give their support. MADE UNANIMOUS. The first break that was made was by California leaving Blaine and casting 16 votes for Harrison and 1 for Alger. Colorado followed with six for Harrison. New York, for the first time, cast its vote, 72, solidly for Harrison, and New Jersey gave him 14, a large gain. The break of California was due to cabled grams from Blaine at Edinburg requesting his friends to cease voting for him. and requesting them to respect his. letters. On the eighth ballot Connecticut joined the procession and cast a solid vote for Harrison. This gave him New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Indiana and California, and lead to his nomination. Of the Indiana delegation Fields, of the 10th district, could not be induced to leave Gresham and the vote stood 29 for Harrison and 1 for Gresham.

When the vote could be announced, Governor Foraker, of Ohio, moved that the nomination, be made unanimous. Gov. Foraker said: “We Ohioans„came here all Sherman men- now we are all Harrison men. We can the more easily support General Harrison because he had the good sense to be born in Ohio. I therefore, by request of the Ohio delegation move that General Harrison’s nomination be made unanimous. 1 ’ Ex-Congressman Horr, of Michigan, in seconding the motion of Foraker to make the nomination unanimous, said all knew he came here to nominate Governor Alger; all knew he failed. He belonged to a tribe however, which didn’t think it knew everything. Michigan wanted asoldier at the head of the ticket, and it has got one in General Harriton. [Cheers.] Michigan, he concluded, would give him her electoral vote. Other seconding speeches were made Er Hastings, of Pa., Boutell, of Maine, enderson, of lowa, Haymond, of Cal., Javis, of Minn., Wise and Mahoije, of Virginia, and the nomination was made inanimous amid great confusion. For Vice President W. W. Phelps, of few Jersey, Levi P. Morton, of New fork, Wm. R. Moore, of Tennessee, W. Bradley, of Kentucky. The first balot resulted in the nomination of Morton, .8 follows: Morton 591, Phelps 119, Iradley 103, Bruce 11, Thomas 1. The ules were suspended and the following esolution was adopted as a part of the •latform: The first concern of all good government is the virtue and sobriety of the eople and the purity of their homes, 'he Republican party cordially sympatiizes with all wise and well directed esJrts for the promotion of temperance nd morality.

A LIVELY TIME.

■ Chicago, June 20.—Delegates this Biorning are greatly exercised or amus■d, according to their tastes, over the ■ght in the committee on credentials Kst night. It did not become generally ■sown here until this morning. But ac■unts say that dnri,mj the progress of ■e discussion, Wise said something in Kt undertone to Mahone. who instantly ■ok it up. The “lie” passed, and, from ■cal exhibitions, the difference instantdegenerated into a rough and tumble ■htjn which whatever piece of furni■re was most accessible was used en■usiaetically, though, as it transpires, ■nnlessly. This morning the princi■la refuse to talk and the immediate

cause of the difficulty is not known. A policeman was called, who succeeded in quieting the disturbers. It was given out with humorous earnestness last night that it was no fight, but that a man had fainted,the policeman being called to get some ice water. It is added, for some purpose, that “the man became unconscious while speaking.” The Tribune publishes a highly sensational account of the proceedings before the Committee on Credentials. It says: Sergeant-at-arms Smith opened the door and looked anxibusly around the hall. Half a dozen men were shouting at the top of their voices. “You ; rea liar,” “Give it to him,” was distinguished above the storm of invectives. The commotion swelled into an uproar. The door swung back and a negro rushed into the hall with terror written in every feature. '“My God, they are going to shoot.” he exclaimed. “Mahone and Wise is fightin’. Some one will be killed, jshuah.” The door suddenly opened and Ser-geant-at-arms Smith grabbed an officer and pulled him inside. As they passed in the reporter caught a momentary view of the exciting scene being enacted. A heavy chair was descending on the head of some unfortunate and another was poised in the air presumably for the same purpose. Almost on the threshold of the door two men were on the floor engaged in a desperate struggle. A man was reaching over to seperate them, when he was struck in * the face bv a man who was evidently not unschooled in the manly art of self-defense. “Kill him,” “hit him,” “look out for him, Jim.” The presence of the policeman had a wonderfully quieting effect and the tempest subsided as quickly as it star - ed. In about a minute, Sergeant-at-arms Smith appeared at the door like a rainbow after a thunder storm. His hair was disarranged, but he was smiling and warm. “Any one killed?” asked the reporter. “Killed? Ha, ha; that’s funny,” commenced Mr. Smith. “It is awful hot in there, and a man fainted away. Never saw such a hot room in my life; had to throw a pitcher of ice water on him. He’sall right now; come to all right. Ha, ha; well, well. Hot, isn’t it? Yes, sir; he just fell right down while making a speech. Officer, keep these men back from the door. We opened the door a moment to give him a little air.” Later it was learned that the Virginia row’ started between Wise and Mahone. Mahone delegate. Colonel Allen, was talking,and Wise frequently interrupted. Mahone and Wise w’ere sitting not more than five feet apart on the same side of the table. Wise said something in an undertone to Mahone, which no one caught, but the little Brigadier atf, once jumped up and reached for Wise. The latter let out for Mahone, but the members sitting between them prevented any damage. Both were talking excitedly, but attention was in a moment diverted from them by Congressman Libbey, one of the anti-Mahone men, w’ho struck Allen. Accounts differ, but most of the members seemed to think Allen was hit.: He was still on his feet, and Libbey shouted at him: “D n you, d n you!” The assaulted man launched back, and in a moment the wildest confusion prevailed. Several of the Mahone people went for Libbey and bore him down to the floor. All the colored men in the room took part, and the mass of arms and legs in motion was such that the peace-making members hardly dared approach. It was in fact the beginning of an old-fashioned Virginia fight. “Don’t you touch me!” roared one of the men in the midst of the melee. ExCongressman Brady, who is himself pugnacious, was one of the Wise following for whom the JMahone henchmen seemed to feel the greatest animosity. “Don’t let Brady get away!” yelled a voice that sounded like Mahone’s, and a rush was at once made for him. A pair of Western men at once closed m and saved Brady from much harm. The peacemakers finally succeeded in pulling most of the fighters apart, but it was not until the policeman

at the door who rushed in had cracked several colored heads with his club. One man, said to be named Mott, was especially ugly, and could not be quietea till Sergeant-at-Arms Smith seized him by the throat, exclaiming, “stop, stop,” and threw him half across the room. When the semblance of order was restored, two or three members were standing at the table, the policeman and the sergeant-at-arms had squads of belligerents under their care, while Chairman Hepburn was keeping a close eye on Mahone and Wise. Mr. Wise expressed his regret at the occurrence, explaining how T aspersions had been cast on him that were unbearable. Mahone said nothing. Mr. Libbey also spoke half apologetically, saying that in the heat of the moment he thought Allen was striking at Wise, but he did not think he himself had really hit A lien. The committee felt that something of this kind was necessary. Several members had proposed to expel Libbey, and if he had not made this explanation he would undoubtedly have been expelled. The desire to avoid publicity, however, was strong. It was agreed that the row should be kept a secret ;————

ANOTHER SCRIMMAGE.

A bitter personal altercation, in which blows were exchanged, occurred at the con venEßm Iniild ing, Thursday nightHrr which Hon. J. S. Clarkson and General Fitzsimmons, who is the Sergeant-at-Arms, were the participants. Congressman George K. Davis had issued a number of personal passes, simply written in pencil over his signature, admitting the bearers to the contention, and a large number of them were accepted. The

circumstance was reported to Mr. Clark son, who went at once to General Fitzsimmons, whom he ordered to stop such proceedings. Hot words passed, and the lie was given, whereupon Mr. Clarkson knocked Fitzsimmons down. The police rushed in, and it is stated that but for the personal interference of Powell Clayton he would have been roughly handled bv them.

INDIANA STATE NEWS.

Union City has found gas at last. Jackson county’s Hendricks Club has 600 members. Myriads of young potato bugs have suddenly made their appearance in the Upper Miami Valley. L. P. Byrne, Democratic sheriff of Jackson county, has resigned, after serving out a portion of his term. He says he was tired of the office. It was his first term, too. Lightning struck the house of Doi soy Jaquar, near Monon. Jaquar’s son, sixteen years old, was instantly killed. Jaquar was knocked down, and the baby in his arms probably fatally injured. Indianapolis had two big fires Wednesday night—one the Indianapolis Veneer Works cabinet factory and lumber yard 7 totally destroyed; loss $105,000; insurance about $90,000. " The other was the G. R. Root Stove Foundry and adjoining residences. Loss $33,000; fully insured. The remains of Samuel Jones, a prominent citizen of Warren, west of Montpelier, were disinterred at Good Cemetery for burial at the Masonic Cemetery. It required the combined strength of six men to raise the coffin out of the grave. The box was opened, when it was found that the body had petrified. The features were the same as at his death, fifteen years ago. It is one of the most remarkable cases of petrifaction on record.

The excitement in Brown county over the discovery of gold in large quantities along Bean Blossom creek remains unabated. The people have nearly all left their homes and crops and are searching for nuggets and w’ashing the black sand, which is mixed with dust found along the stream. One man accumulated $350 of gold in three week’s labor. There can be no doubt but that the find is a valuable one.

Arthur O’Neil, a machinist employed at the Anderson Bolt Works, met with an accident Wednesday evening that may cost him the loss of his left hand. He was working at what is known as the nut machine, when the heavy pin that is used in stamping the holes through the nuts came down on his wrist, passing entirely through and making a hole about three-quarters of an inchin diameter. The smaller bones of the wrist are badly crushed and broken, and amputation may be necessary. Patents were granted to Indiana inventors, Tuesday, as follows: John Bechtold, assignor of one-half to M. H. Dunlevy, Henryville, animal or other power; Marion T. Broady, Bartie, car coupling' John B. Drake, Goshen, pump; John B. Gorrell, assignor to J. and F. A. Hogue, La Otto, windmill; Harrison P. Hood, Indianapolis, straightway valve; Frederick E. R. Malke, Chrisney, grain adjuster for binders; Jonathan B. Mawhood, assignor to Richmond City Mill Works, Richmond, roller-mill; Charles C. F. Nieschang, Fort Wayne, carpetstretcher; Albert B. Sibley, assignor to Sibley & Ware, South Bend, pulley; Seth Ward, Princeton, back-band hook.

FLAYED ALIVE.

A telegram from Pulaski county, Missouri, says a bold outrage was committed there Saturday night, by an organized band similar to the “White Caps” of Indiana. About midnight a party of masked riders rode up to the house of Charles Gross, a wealtfiy farmer, and dragging him from'the house, carried him a mile away and there whipped him to death. The alleged cause is the divulging of secrets of the Agricultural Wheel, a secret organization. Gross was flayed alive.

A special from Bird’s eye Ind., gives particulars of the sudden death of Miss Josie Carroll, under the most unusual circumstances. Miss Carroll had gone out after supper to visit a near neighbor, and he younger brother and some other boys conceived the idea of frightening her with a spook upon her return through a little dark strip of woods. About 9 o’clock the young lady started home, and when she had reached the spot one of the boys jumped from ambush,covered with a sheet, and by curious gyrations of his arms formed a hideous scare-crow in her path. The affrighted girt uttered a shrill shriek and fell insensible to the ground. The boys, frightened at what they had done, ran away, and when help came to the girl, a few moments later, she was found in convulsions, and died in thirty minutes. The affair caused a profound sensation, as Miss Carroll "was a beautful, accomplished and very popular young schoolteacher. The boys, hearing the result of their foolish prank, left the neighborhood and have not since been seen.

THE GROWING CROPS.

What is Shown Concerning Indiana by the Reports to the Agricultural Department. The special bulletin just issued at the Department of Agriculture on the condition of the growing wheat throughout the country has the following observa* tions on Indiana, together with-the reports which follow from the county agents: “There is but a slight improvement in the condition of winter wheat. A number of counties report the growth and development of the plants as very satisfactory, with marked increase of condition, while other report that the fly is doing great damage. The large central belt remains apparently the same as last month. The area has been greatly reduced by unfavorable appearance in early spring. Rye has not suffered the same as wheat; there is but- slight reduction in area and conditiomiafarr. There is a large increase in the sown tn oats, & large proportion of which shows very favorable, but many fields were sown late, causing some z reduction in condition. . ~ ' “The condition of clover is improving. Spring pastures are much improved by recent rains. There was a very full bloom on the apple and peach trees, but some damage was caused by frost. “Brown county: The prospect is very -poor, wonw than it has been- for . yeeMbWhite: The acreage was increased fully 20 per cent, over last year, but it was sO badly winter-killed that much of area has been put in other crops. What is est is thin on the ground and the plants are weakly. Fayette: It has been very dry; recent rains may yet improve it

very much. Grant: Much of the wheat has been plowed up and the land sown to other crops. Huntington: Onethird of, the area sown in wheat wasplowed up and. sown in oats and com. Jasper . Looking well; weather has been favorable. Putnam: Half the land sown in wheat has been plowed up and planted to other crops. The recent rains have improved the wheat. GibsOn: Generally looking well, but many fields will be» short. Montgomery: The Wheat crop is in a very discouraging condition.' The little that escaped the winter received the concentrated ravages of the Hessian fly, and one-half of what escaped winter frosts has been ruined by the fly. Blackford: It was so dry and cold through April and May that wheat almost completely died out. Much of the land was plowed up. and sowed in other crops. From present indications farmers will not reap more than was required to sow the land. Crawford: Greatly improved by the recent rains. Kosciusko: The wheat that was left on the ground is doing well. Monroe: Greatly improved in condition since the rains set in. Clinton: The acreage in wheat has been reduced 25 per cent, by bping plowed up and what remains cannot make more than one-fourth of a crop, and farmers think they will do well to make as much as was required to sow the land last fall. Dearborn: On the black hillsides and bottom lands it‘never looked better at this season of the year, but on the clay soil it froze qut badly, and will make but very little grain. Decatur: It had no snow protection, badly froze out; much of it clings by small roots, and the six weeks’ dry weather has caused much of it to die, and the condition is unfavorable. DeKalb: Doing w r ell since the rains set in, and great improvements' anticipated during the month of June. Dubois: Improved very much during May. Floyd: Where the land was well drained and the wheat properly planted it never looked better. Hancock: The weather has been sold during the month of May and wheat has made slow’ growth, and if it makes a half a crop it will be considered doing well. Howard: Much of the landw’as plowed up, the stand was so poor; hence there is less acreage than last year. The condition is poor. Jay: Almost a total failure. A great many fields plowed up and planted to other grain, and w hat remains will hardly be worth cutting. Jefferson: Improved very much during the month of May. Should it continue to improve at the same rate it will make an average crop: Lagrange: The improvement has been remarkable since last report and it is still growing better. There is some tendency to reduce the acreage, but as more land is being brought under cultivation the probability is that it will remain about the same. Marion: Spring backward; there has been an almost constant decline in the condition of Morgan: The poorest prospect for fifty years; and at least 10 per cent, of the acreage has been plowed up and planted in other crops, Parke: There are some good fields where they were protected by timber. Considerable damage by Hessian fly. Steuben: The prospect is good where it is not too thin. Some fields will yield an average crop. Vigo: Poor prospect; many farmers have planted their wheat land in corn. Warrick: Injured some by chinch bugs and dry weather. Wayne: The condition has improved perceptibly since recentrains set in. Whitney: Rather poor,but now doing well. Hamilton: Practically a failure. During the past week the Hessian fly has appeared in large numbers in the wheat fields. Porter: It is now: growing very fast, but it stands too thin on’the ground to make over half a crop. Sullivan: There is a falling off in the conditiom caused by chinch-bugs principally.”

FIVE PERSONS DROWNED.

A party, of sixteen ladies and gentlemen hired the steam yacht Olivette and left Newark, N. J., at 8 o’clock Sunday night. It being flood tide, the jetty, at the mouth of the bay, was covered with water. The pilot had scarcely got his bearings when he heard a sharp, grating sound, and realizing that he was on the jetty, stopped the engine. Several of the male passengers jumped over on the jetty, and in doing so the boat lurched and slid off into deep water. The. girls then made a rush for the side of the boat. This caused her to keel over suddenly, and in a second she turned bottom side up. The air was immediately filled with screams for help from a score of persons struggling for their lives in the water. Their cries were heard at Greenville and other points on the bay, and rescuers soon went to the scene of the accident. But when the boats arrived it was found that six of the party had been swept away and drowned. The bodies all have been recovered.

Abraham Lincoln once said: “Monarchy is sometimes hinted as a possiblerefuge from the power of the people. In my present position I would be scarcely justified were I to omit raising a warning voice against returning despotism. There is one point to which I ask attention: It is the effort to place capital on an equal footing with, if not above, labor in the structure of the government. I bid the laboring people beware of surrendering a power which they already possess, and which, when surrendered, will surely be used to close the door of advancement to such as they, and fix new disabilities and burdens upon them until all of liberty shall be lost.”

A Boy on “Breathing.”

Indianapolis Sentinel. County Superintendent of Instruction Flick ran across the following the other day while traveling in the State. A boy fourteen years old, recently imported rom Kentucky, handed it in as a composition on “Breathing.” The instruction was, “Tell all about the breathing,” He said: “Breath is made of air. We breaath with our lungs, our lights, our liver and kindeys. If it wasn’t for our breath we would die when we slept. Our breath keeps the life agoing through the nose when we are asleep. Boys that stop in a room all day should not brethe. They should wait till they go out doors. Boys in a room make bad unholysome air. They make carbonicide. Carbonicide is poisoner than mad-dog.
