The New York Herald offers to contribute $10,000 to the expense of each convention, providing the merchants and busi- ness men of the city contribute the additional $390,000 for each conven- tion. A committee formed under the auspices of the board of trade and transportation has considered the Herald’s offer, has accepted it, and has already voted to offer the two national committees when they meet at Washington the sum of $100,000 ifthe conventions will go to New York. The Herald says, apparently with authorit) “The committee will not stop at $100,000, not even at $1 000. It will offer Madison Square garden as the place for holding the convention. It will present unrivaled hotel accom- modation and such inducements re- garding railroad rates as no otner city would think of offer.ug.” The Herald further says: ““A num- ber of members of the democratic committee are already committed to Tez: ’ eSit NW.

Benjamin is in the hospital with two bullets in his body and C. S. Steele is in the police station charged with the shooting. Five days ago Mrs. Benjamin discovered Mrs. Steele bi- eyele riding with her husband, and horsewhipped the woman. The hus bands met to talk over the matter, and concluded it could be settled if Mr. Benjamin would call ‘on Mrs. Steele in the presence of her husband and say that he did not care for her. Between 6 and 7 o'clock last night Mr. Benjamin called at the Steele residence. But when he came into the presence of Mrs. Steele he refused to say his regard for her had cooled. This angered Mr. Steele, who drew a revolver and shot five times at Mr. Benjamin. One bullet hit Benjamin in the arm, the second in the wrist, and the third in the groin. The oth- er two were imbedded in the wall of the sitting room. where the peace meeting had been called.
