VIGOROUSLY AGAINST HIM— GENERAL DAWES AND HIS CANDIDACT. Special Dispatch to THe Eventea Stan Coivumsvs, O., June 24.—The politicians are pouring in on every train and the republican convention promises to be one of ths largest if not most excitedly held since the war. The warriors under King Bob, General Kennedy, areon parade and seem to show their full strength with a view of guthering in recruits from the ranks of the smaller commands. The Kennedy men claim over two hundred and fifty on the first ballot, but a careful estimate of their strength materially reduces the number, and it is more than probable that two hundred is a very large estimate. Speaker Lampson has a large fol- lowing, and it is thought by many he 18 STRONGER THAN KENNEDY. Gen. Dawes, is another candidate for the nomi- nation and by many is regarded as a winner in the event it should be discovered that the nomination could not go to Gov. Foraker with the desired unanimity necessary to successful work later on. The Kennedy men are working the ery against a third term with vigor, and by this kind of generalship hope to defeat the governor's renomination in the same manner that the old commander was defeated at the Chicago convention. To an observer it would appear that Kennedy's forces are inclined to be too vigorous in their opposi- tion and cannot hope to gather any recruits after the first ballot. TSE FIELD 18 AGAINST FORAKER, who is doing nothing whatever to advance his interests in the convention. Nor will he per- mit his friends to antagonize other candidates. Gen. Dawes hasa strong backing, his follow- ers style themselves as members of the iron brigade, the general commanding the celebrated brigade of that name in the Atlanta campaign. At this time the indications point to the renomination of Governor Foraker with but slight opposition, after the various candidates have received a complimentary vote. In the event of strong opposition on the second ballot. which does not now Scaee e it is predicted that his mame would be withdrawn. He would not not make a contest under any circumstances. A LIVELY OIL MARKET. Fluctuations in Prices Wild—Great Ex- citement in Pittsburg and New York. Prrrszvna, Pa., June 24.—At no time on rec- ord since November, 1882, has the oil market been go lively or the fluctuations so wild as to- day. In less than ten minutes the market ad- vanced from 83 to101}¢. The highestrecorded sale at 102 although a half higher was offered, but lost sight of in the excitement. The ad- vance was so rapid that not a sale was effected between 9c. to 101. The market fell off 3 cents at a time until 9c, was reached, where it now stands. Rumors as to the cause are that it is simply « squeeze of the shorts; another is that the boom i by the Standard in revenge ig decided to deal in futures, @ proceeding which the Standard vigor— ously opposed.

Havenstnaw, N.Y., June 24.—A gang of col- ored men and one of Hungarians engaged in a serious riot at Jones’ Point yesterday afternoon, the result of which was the shooting of four Hungarians by the colored men. The color line has _ been the occasion of bitter feeling which found vent in two Huns attempting to drown a negro. The jatter’s friends saw the attempt and went to his rescue, while anumber of Hungarians gathered to do battle for friends, A colored man named James Morton deliberately drew his revolver and fired seven shots, bringing down seven of the Hun- garians, one of whom was instantly killed. Then the fight became general, and knives and pistols were freely used. Word was immediately sent to Haverstraw, and two officers and Cor- oner McGowan visited the scene, when Clark Ryder, Walker Dean, Frank Long and Walter Davis were arrested and held as witnes: while Morton, the man who did the shooting. made his escape. This morning the colored men started to work in the brick-yard, When the Huns turned out and with shouts of “Four niggers for one white man,” drove them from the place.

The contractors, Messrs, Becker 4 Blundon, had not succeeded in gathering to- gether as many laborers or as much plant as had been looked for to-day. About Enty men, nearly all of them colored, were at once put to work on the first break, which is near Woody's, about two miles above Georgetown. These were all that labored unt! the hour of noon arrived. and then twenty-five additional toilers were put at the second break, just a quarter of a mile above the first fracture.

HAYES IN WASHINGTON. How Her Womanly Tact Won Successes in the White House. ‘THR FAMOUS CONTEST OVER WIKE—HOW SEE OVERCAMB THE DIFFICULTIES OF A DIPLOMATIC DINNER—THE PERSONAL REGARD OF THE WHITE ‘HOUSE EMPLOTES FOR HER. ‘When Mr. Hayes came into the White House under extraordinary conditions Mrs, Hayes, who, the telegraph says this afternoon, is dy- ing, undertook the task of smoothing the way for her husband. In this she succeeded, She had mach prejudice and slander to counteract, and the world may never appreciate the gentle heroism with which she met the difficulties in her way. She was s woman of education and refinement, She understood the art of enter- taining better than most women even in high social position do. She knew how to make the greater and the lesser alike feel perfectly at home andenjoy themselves when at her house, Few women would have attempted what she did auccessfully, to enter- tain entirely without the use of wines at table. The conoected with the official household of the President during the four years of the => administration were all devoted to Mrs. Hayes, and the news of her dangerous illness has caused them much con- ceru. Several of the present official force were at the White House at that time. Their recol- lection of her is colored with a warm personal regard. HER WOMANLY TACT. During her time the White House force was one large family, of which Mrs. Hayes was the center. It was one of her tasks to overcome the prejudice that was in the minds of some of the public men against the administration. So successful was she in this that after a conversa- tion with her. Senators, democrats and repub- licans, were often jreces to give expression to most extravagant compliments of her grace as a hostess, Senator Gordon, one of the most ardent i the democrats had in the Senate, became one of her most enthusiastic friends after meeting her at the White House. He spoke of her as a rare wo- man, The one thing that caused most talk about Mrs, Hayes way thestand she took on the temperance question. From that has come the talk of her ruling her husband and casting tticoat influence over the national admin- tration. She was most earnest in her temperance views and was determined that wines and liquors should not be served at her table. It bas often been said iu a slurring way that the absence of wine from the White House table was a matterof economy. Quite the con- trary was the case, THE WINE CONTEST. It was well known to Mrs. Hayes that she must in some way make up for the absence of wine at diplomatic dinners, or must sd arrange these occasions as not to make its absence in- appropriate. In her efforts to dispense with the use ot wine she had the support of her husband, but the ome sition of the Secretary of State, ir, Evarte held that it was improper to require members of the diplomatic corps at a state dinner to conform to the preju- dices of the President’s wife in the matter of what they should drink, and he made an earnest fight for old customs—and old wine. It was a struggle between the premier and the Presi- dent's wife, and the latter, of course, won. HOW SHE OVERCAME THE DIFFICULTY. But the scheme Mrs. Hayes devised to meet the difficulty was at once original and very clever. When the time arrived for the diplo- matic dinner, instead of the small assemblage of decorated diplomats in the state dining- room, she struck upon the idea of a large reception. She knew that it would be very difficult indeed to conduct the usual diplomatic dinner successfully without wine, when all the diplomats would expect it. But with an immense assemblage the case would be differ- ent. Any one might see the impropriety of dis- pensing wine to an arte almost as large as that at a public reception. She had engraved cards of invitation to the heads of depart- ments and their higher officials, to Senators and members, to army officers of and above thi rank of major, and oe officers of and above the rank of captain, These cards read, after giving the title of the officer addressed, “—, You are invited to meet the members of the diplomatic corps, &c.” These invitations were so numerous that the White House was filled up stairs and down with officials and dignitaries of state. Tables were spread in the ordinary and in the state dining room, and in the offices and lobbies upstairs, where one might sit or stand as he or she preferred. A magnificent dinner was served—an abundance of everything that goes to make the finest banquet complete, ex- cept the wine. he impropriety of serving wine to such an assemblage was considered by Mra, Hayes as excuse enough for not having ; but she made up for its absence by the qual- ity of the dinner. No expense was spared, This was the style of her Siplomatio aed during the whole four years. As to matter of economy, why, she could have given several state banquets with wine for what one of these entertainments cost. They cost each never less than $3,000, which was the exact cost of the first one. THE WHITE HOUSE FORCE. Mrs. Hayes did not attempt to curtail the personal liberty of those about her. Severalof the official force at the White House took wine and liquor when they cared for it, and there was no hypocritical attempt to conceal the fact from her. She was ou very friendly terms with them all, and would sometimes talk with them on the subject of drinking habits, but she did not attempt “enforced reformation” on the ex- ecutive clerks, THE THANKSGIVING DINNERS. Every Thanksgiving while she was in the White House Mrs. Hayes gave a family dinner, at which she and the President and their chil- dren sat at the table, with the private sec tary, the assistant secretary and the executive — At these dinners everything was as charming and home-like as possible, The devotion of everybody in the honse to Mrs. Hayes was manifest, and her gentleness and refinement are often spoken of with praise, Mrs, Lucy Webb Hayes was born in Chilli- cothe, Ohio, about 1833. She was the danghter of a physician of that town. She was married and [ates Mrs. Hayes December 30, 1852. Of their eight children four sons and one daughter are living. Mrs. Hayes was noted for her de- votion to the wounded soldiers during the war. A Seranade in Cabbage Alley. “You can’t serenade a man against his will,” suid Judge Miller in court to-day, “no matter how sweet the music is.” The remark was made in the case of Frank O’Brien and William Moore, charged with disturbiug the peaceful residents of Cabbage alley. ‘There was social gather- ing in O'Brien's yard Saturday night and Phil. Barry was singing “The Old basi g Oa when Policeman Cutler and Work entered the alley. ‘fhe boys had a keg of beer to make the occa- sion more interesting. There were seven in the party and the beer keg was empty. “I don’t use bad language,” said O’Brien. “Some- times when I mash my finger T put it in my mouth and cuss between my teeth.” The court accepted the personal bonds of the defendants. A Disorderly Rooster. “Well,” said Judge Miller, addressing Mr. Robert Rodney, of No, 514 10th street, “you charge Mr, Edward M. Brawner with keeping a disorderly chicken, Teli us something about the chicken,” Mr. Brawner lives at No. 1003 E street, and was charged under the police regulations with keeping a crowing rooster, to the annoyance and disturbance of citizens re- siding in that neighborhood. and es epelly to Mr. Rodney, who told the judge that he had patiently stood the noise made by the rooster when he (R.) kept his windows closed, but now that he has to keep his windows open he cannot stand the racket. He had offered to ja the chicken, but Mr. Brawner would not sell it. ‘The defendant said that he had given the chicken, away and the person to whom he had given it would take it away to-day, “But the rooster was hard at work this morn- i ii He added satisfied, as he only wanted to & rid of the annoyance, The judge took the defendant's personal bonds, nee .

Nothing short of a miracle can heal Morris Adler; the doctors can only make him as comfortable asa man can be whose spine is lacerated; they may prolong his life for a brief season. Just now there is no of blood-poisoning, but the atteudants are watching _ ver! care- fully for the oncoming of this dread and to-be-expected visitor. All of those connected with the case and the members of the family realize that when the change comes it will come hurriedly and that dissolution must follow withia a few hours. WHAT THE PHYSICIANS SAY ABOUT EXTRACTING THE BULLET. The fact that the bullet had not been ex- tracted has served as text fora great many amateur critics, who are satisfied that blood- poisoning must come unless the missile is re- moved. On this point the doctors are unani- mous as to what is the proper action. ae say that the fatal damage was done when the ball. struck the epinal column, and that no further harm can wrought by the little encysted lump of lead. “It is,” remarked one of the surgeons this morning to a Sra reporter, “as though a pis: tol bullet had gone completely through a m: head and ae ina brick wall beyond. How much would the sufferer be benefited by having the ball dug out of the brick?” Dr. Bayne has made the following state- ment, which received the Lag pte of the other physicians in the case—Dr. J. Ford Thompson and Dr, McBlair: “An erroneous impression exists in regard to the removal of the bullet, many thinking that its immediate extraction is of the utmost importance. Bullets often be- come eneysted and remain during a lifetime without doing any damage. To attempt under the present circumstances to cut into the tissues and remove the ball would be attended with great danger without a corresponding promise of benefit, aud, ageers | to most modern au- thorities, would be considered bad surgery.” AN OPERATION WOULD BE FATAL. It is generally believed that the ball is now in the immediate vicinity of the carotid artery. There is a slight hardness and sore feeling in that region. Any attempt to.cut into the tis- sues surrounding the missile would almost cer- tainly cause death within twenty-four hours, and the doctors do not feel called upon to aid the defense by manufacturing such testimony n operation would give. The very best ing to_be done now is to leave well enough alone, Locating and extracting the ball wor only bring matters to a hasty focus, AN INSTANCE OF ADLER’S HOPEFULNESS occurred yesterday, when the proprietor of the “Monte Carlo” pool-rooms and Adler's former employer called, “Bave you filled my place yet?” asked the wounded man. “No, indeed,” was the reply. “That place 18 open for you whenever you are ready to take it again.” “Ah,” remarked Adler, ‘you can’t easily find man who is able to take hold of that and do it as I did. If this ball was only out,” he added, “I'd be up and getting ready to go out now.” AN EMPHATIC DENIAL BY THE ADLER FAMILY, During the past two or three days there has been a rumor afloat to the effect that the Adler family would contribute materially to the pros- ecution of the case against Ward. Mr. Henry Adler, the father of Morris, was asked by a Star ip sated if there was any truth in the story. He denied it most emphatically. “So far as the family is concerned,” said he, “‘noth- ing of the kind will be done. We are satisfied that the district attorney is able, honest, and fearless, and shall leave the conduct of the matter entirely in his hands, As to wha* our friends propose doing I know nothing. We have many, vory many, strong personal friends and they may be formulating some such plan, We ourselves shall do nothing.” It was understood by the membersof the Adler household that Ward had offered to en- gage the services of Dr. D, H. Agnew to attend tothe wounded man, No authoritative offer had been made, but the matter was discussed this morning. end the general sentiment seems to be thatif Ward puta his p sition in shape it will be accepted. The family would have sent for Dr. Aguew a couple of days ago, butthey were convinced that it would not result in any material advantage. the at- tending physicians evidently having dong all that could be done under the circumstances, The patient is receiving the best possible at- tention, and Dr. Wagner is with him almost continuously in the capacity of a nurse. aT 8:15 THIS AFTERNOON Adler was resting easily and feeling quite as well as he was this morning. “MORTALLY DROWNED.” Curious Points of Law Ratsed in the Barber-Watson Homicide Case. In the Court in General Term—Justices Hagner, James and Bradley—this morning, the case of the U. 8, vs. Frederick Barber, convicted November 7 last of the murder of Agnes Watson on June 23 last, was before the court on the motion in arrest of judgment cer- tifled by Justice Montgomery, The parties had been living together in Georgetown, but the defendant had left her, It was alleged that | the deceased followed Barber across the canal and that he seized her and threw her into the canal, where she was drowned. On the trial Messrs. D, E. Cahill and A. W. Furgusson, who | had been assigned by the court, defended Bar- ber, and the plea was that the woman fell over- board in consequence of being drunk. The: filed a motion for a new trial, which was denied, and « motion in arrest of judgment, which was certified. The counsel for defendant urge that the indictment does not charge that the girl was dead when the indictment was tound, and that it fails to allege that she died of the injuries charged to have been inflicted by defendant within the time prescribed by the rules of com- mon law as in nsably necessary to con- stitute the crime of murder, They insist that it waa necessary to state that the woman was dead, and that the words “she was then and there mortally choked, suffocated and drowned” are not sutlicient. ‘They say that the indictment wholly fails to set out the culminat is fatally defective. REE es e government, nit vy Judge Hoge and Mr Lipscomb, contends that the indict. ment is not defective, and that the words “mortally drowned” mean nothing more nor less than immediate death. —— LOCAL NUTES.

Nature has done much for the place, and the natural attractions have been. enlarged and heightened by the exercise of good tasteand the liberal use of money fore juarter of a century past. The frequent heavy showers which have done so much to keep Washington unusually fresh and beautiful this summer have prevailed here also, and with the same effect. The result is a wonderfully green turf, foliage developed to its utmost, and a dis- play of mountain and wild-wood flowers un- usually rich and varied, even for this locality. With these surroundings, pure and bracing mountain air, beaut-ful shaded walks on every hand, a well-equipped hotel, with its ample and admirably served dining-room accommodations, a band of music, and a spacious ball-room at their com- aaa disposal, it need not be said in formal rms that a company of congenial people, con- taining a fair sprinkling of young folks, will have a season of ideal enjoyment. THE TRACK OF THE FLOCD. But the feature of the trip of spucial interest to the more serious-minded ani observing members of the company is the opportunity it has afforded to comprehend the character and extent of damage wrought by the recent floods which devasted so large a portion of the state of Pennsylvania end enabled them at the same time to see and fully understand bow much has already been done under the direction of a capable, energetic and liberal railway adminis- tration to make good the terrible ruin thus wrought. 80 completely has homan interest centered about Johnstown and the Conemaugh valley, on account of the appalling loss of life by the late overflow in that comparatively lim- ited territory, that the “weep mind has failed to comprehend, and, indeed, the chroniclers of events have failed to adequately point out, ths enormous destruction of property in other lo- calities, where, happily, materia] ‘loss was un- accompanied by Breat loss of life, as on the western slope of the mountains, Particular]; is this true of the valley of the Juniata, extend- ing from a point a little above Harrisbur, almost to Altoona; and to no interest affecte does the remark’ apply with so much force as to the line of Pennsylvania railroad, which follows the course of that steam from itsmouth almost to its very source, Other interest both private and corporate, suffered largely, o: course, but this great artery of commerce, stretching along between the points named for nearly a hundred and fifty miles, over moun- tain streams and through narrow gorges, along precipitous hillsides and over innumerable culverts, was struck as by the hand of paral, at almost every curve and crossing. ‘The Ju- itself was crossed no Ices than twelve mes in this distance on superb iron or stone structures, three of which alone aggregated a viaduct of nearly half a mile in length. Add to these the numerous tributary streams to be crossed along the route, and take into account also the miles of high embankment covered with double and quadruple tracks, along and across deep valleys that were subjected to the Iong-continued and resistless power of the aw- ful flood, and some idea can be formed of the amount of damage sustained by the company. Of course, on the line down the westerr slo; of the Alleghenies, the blow was more crash- ing, but the distance in that case waa much shorter. On thet side the loss sustained may be said to have been all confined within a stretch of LESS THAN TEN MILES. But it was complete. Two of the finest stone viaducts in the world melted eway as if built of sugar, miles of track were torn up, scattered, and literally swept out of existence, hundreds of freight cars were crushed ike paper boxes, and of thirty-one enormous locomotive engines, some of them weighing as much as sixty tons, which stood in the round-house at Conemaugh when the resistless wall of water rolled down the valley only seven have yet been found, The rest are still buried out of sight in the deep bed of rock and sand carried from one place and deposited in another many miles away, as it were in the twinkling of an eye. The picture of destruction and desolation, as it stands even to-day, must be seen to be appreciated. No human tongue or pen can sketch the Le ing scene asa whole nor fill in the outlines with the ghastly and heart-sickening details. Even imagination fails to portray the over- whelming reality of the awful picture. But if one is awed and amazed at the terrible work of nature's angry forces, one cannot at the same time fail to wonder at and admire the human energy and skill which has in so short a time done so much to repair the material dam- age wrought by the great calamity. Within less than twelve days after the besom of de- struction had passed over its fair domain, curl- ing up iron rails like shavings from a carpen- ter’s plane, hurling immense rocks if shot out ofa catapult, and carrying giant forest trees before it like straws before a mad gale, miles of tracks have been relaid, scores of bridges rebuilt, long and high embankments restored, and long freight and fast passenger trains are again running on reguiar time over the vast system, which erabraces a veritable empire within its network of iron. It is true that the bridges are temporury structures and that the roa lacks the s»lidity and smooth- the wide gape are closed up and the great tides of travel and transportation flow and ebb as of old without interruption, The achievement is marvelous, even in this age of marvels, and re- flects imperishable lustre on those who ac- eomplished it. It may well be doubted whether any organization of like character in the world could have matched, much less excel, what the management of the Pennsyinania railroad has done in the = emergency which so sudden- ly confronted it. them, indeed, would scenes of devastation and suffering, the mem- bers of this party were afforded by the officials inel an opportunity to visit Johnstown to ly witness in the scenes there presented itting culmination of the tragedy enacted of the mountains, j ‘ ; D.
