Hayden, chairman ofthe state central committee for Garrett county, called the convention to order. Dr, M. Kemp was elected president and . Greagey, secretary. When the ques- tion was asked by the president, “How many delegates will you elect?” it was apparent that agreut many of those present wanted to go to the congressional convention. One delegate quickly grasped the situation and made a mo- tion that all the members of the convention be elected delegates, which was adopted.

B Elkins being in the conven- tion was asked to go forward aud make aspeech, which he did. But three candidates for supreme judge were presented—F. M. Reynolds of Min- eral, James Brown of Preston and Judge Hagan of Monongalin, ‘The result of the first ballot showed Mr. Reynolds decidedly the strongest man, and the second resulted in the withdrawal of the other two and the nomination of Reynolds by acclamation. NORTH CAROLINA DEMOCRATS. The North Carolina democratic convention yesterday nominated a judicial ticket and ad- journed. Chief Justice Merriman and Justice Clark were nominated by acclamation and the nine superior court judges were unanimously indorsed for re-election. Senator Vance was yesterday adopted a platform reaffiming the principles of the St. Lonis platform of 1884 and declaring against the Lodge and McKinley bills and Speaker Reed's rulings. past few days rumors have been cur- rent in Newark that Congressman Lebiback, who represents the sixth New Jersey district, has written a letter declining to be a candidate for renomination, It ts said that the lette: in possession of Henry A.

The Warren- Platt ring is opposed to him, but this is re- garded asa favorable omen by his friends. Tne Hon, Norris Morey has been mentioned as his possible opponent, but a few days ago the lat- ter said he would not be a candidate. Congressman John M.

NOMINATIONS FOR CONGRESS. The democratic convention of the ninth Ala- baraa congressional district renominated Gen. W. H. Forney at Gadsden yesterday without opposition. There was un effort made to get out another candidate. but it failed, and the Opposition wert to pieces before the conven- tion met. Gen. Forney was first elected to the Forty-fourth Congress, and this is his ninth erm, Charles A. Boatner was renominated by the democrats of the fifth district of Louisiana. Jerry Simpson was nominated by the demo- crats of the seventh district of Kansas, H. G. Ewart was renominated by the repub- licans of the ninth district of North Carolina, ‘Vhe democratic congressional convention of the seventh Iowa district, held at Des Moines yesterday, nominated James B. Weaver for Congress, An effort was made to get the con- vention toindorse J. H. Barnett, the Union Labor nominee, but the democrats did not take kindly to the proposition, and Weaver’snomina- tion was easily made. Gen. Weaver turesque figure in Iowa politic has been five times a candidate for Congress in the sixth district, was elected three times, and in 1890 was’ the green- beck candidate for President. His home is at Bloomiield, in the sixth district, but he is in- terested im the publication of a uni®n labor pa- per in Des Moines and spends most of his time there. It is quite probable that Senator Bar- nett will get out of the field, leaving the race to Gen. Weaver and Capt. Hull, his republican opponent, The district is overwhelmingly re- puolican, but Weaver has a habit of making his campaigns interesting whether he expects to win or not. GEN. LEE RENOMINATED, The democratic convention for the eighth district of Virginia met at Leesburg yesterday ataoon. Hon. Jno. F. Ryan called the body to order, and Dr. J. D. Pendleton of Orange and Arthur Sheetz of Loudoun were named as temporary chairman and secretary, Cominit- tees on resolutions, credentials and permanent organization, consisting of one member from each county, were chosen, and the convention took a recess until 2 o'clock. Upon reassem- bling permanent organization was effected with Geo. R. Head of Loudoun, chairman, aad A. McD. Greenof Culpeper, secretary. The reports of the committees were adopted without | dissent, and upon motion of K.

The President Glad to Get Back to His Pleasant Cottage Life. The presidential household at the seasido was ina flurry of excitement yesterday. Mrs, Harrison had been over to Cape May during the day and made some purchases that would add tothe pleasure of the President's filty- seventh birthday. Mrs. Harrison left the cot- tage just before 4 o'clock in company with her son-in-law, J. R. McKee, and “Baby” McKee, and drove to Cape May to await the coming of tho President, The 4:30 train, with a special car attached, brought the President. With him were Gen. Sewell and William V. McKean. Just outside of the depot the car was switched off and run into the lower station, where Mrs, Harrison and Mrs, McKee and the baby joined them, and continued on over to the Cape May Point eta- tion with them. ‘The station was crowded with people, who cheered the President as he was driven off to the cottage. On the porch waitmg to receive the President were the other members of the household, who first greeted him und then of- fered their congratulations. The President spent a pleasant hour on the porch with his family and expressed himself as being glad to be back to take the much-needed weck of rest. The President also expressed his happiness at ing able to spend his fifty-seventh auniver- sary with his entire family, excepting his son Russell, The President reccived several callers and their congratulations. Gen. and Mra, Sewell were the first to arrive and extend their regards. The others included Wm. V. McKean, A. H. Hamilton, Rev. Dr. Wiley, Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Senour. The President will spend the entire week with bis family and may perbaps remain longer and go to Cresson with them. gi THE CHOLERA IN LONDON. A Case Pronounced to Be the True Asiatic Disease. Twenty London physicians declare that Rob- ert Leigh is sick in that city with the terrible Asiatic cholera, Yesterday the New York Her- ald correspondent interviewed Leigh. “Yes,” answered Leigh to a question, “I put on differ- ent clothes the day I landed here. The coat and trousers I bought in London, but some of the undergarments I had brought with me from India, No, I had not worn them on shipboard; in fact, [never had worn them. The flannel shirt I put on Monday morning was one I had got in Hong Kong.” In view of this statement it is easy to under- stand how the cholera germs may have been carried from India, dormant in the sailor's un- used clothing, only to break out when the in- fected garments were put on. Leigh went on to say he was feeling much better, and the doctor thinks that in a few days he will be out of danger. “Mind,” added the latter, cautiously, “I say he will probably be out of ee but there may come a relapse which would carry him off like a shot. Asiatic cholera, you know, is a disease you can never exactly count on, and, by the way, I think it is just as well you got out of this room. You are the only person except a physician who has seen this man since he was brought here.” I took « farewell look at Leigh before with- drawing and cannot say that he struck me asa very agreeable spectacle, His eyes were sunken and very bright; bis face, bronzod by exposure. was drawn and haggard and his skin was ae dry as parchment. "Ihe sick man is of medium size, intelligent looking and about forty years of age. “Why should an outsider catch the disease any more than a physician?" I inquired when we had passed into the adjoining room of the hospital. “Because phy. cautions agai Yhat are thoso precautions?” “Principally to see that everything which passes from the patient is thoroughly disin- tected, and secondly, to have no fear.” “Do you think, sir, that this man may have spread the germs of ‘the cholera before he en- tered the hospital?” “Unquestionably, You see, he was wander- ing about all day Monday wherever he pleased, and he was at that time quite capable of con- taminatiug others. It is very possible, how- ever, that the sanitary measures which’ have been taken since may be sufticient to extermi- nate the cholera virus which Leigh, #0 to ik, put into circulation.” then there is no doubt about his being a muine case of Asiatic choleray “Not the slightest. Our visiting surgeon has had thousands of cases to treat during previous epidemics, and he says it is unmistakably Asi- atic cholera and of & most malignant torm.” Leaving the hospital I visited the Brittannia coffee house in Whitechapel, where Leigh put up on landing from the steamer Sunday night. the proprietor, Thomas Still, conducted me up two flights of stairs toa little room, where the sailor had passed two nights. Workmen were ripping off the wall paper and disinfect- ing everything. “Here's where he slept, sir, and a healthier- looking man I never saw. He was allus the first one up of a morning, and he ate like a horse.” I went down to the Victoria docks, where the steamer Duke of Argyle waslying. I asked the first officer about the case and he poohed- poohed the whole story, declaring that Leigh no more had Asiatic cholera than he had. “Why,” he exclaimed, ‘these London doc- tors don’t know what Asiatic cholera is, and, after all, why should they? We do, though, don’t wo, captain?” turning to a hearty-looking seaman standingnear Capt. Miller of the City of Oxford, another steamer just in from Cal : “Well, rather,” answered the latter, “I've seen a man eating his breakfast in perfect health at 9 o'clock. seized at 10, dead at 3 and buried at 5. That's what I call Asiatic chol- era.” Just then Marine Inspector Scott came up and, joining the talk, expressed the most posi- tive opinion that Leigh never had had a shadow of real Asiatic cholera, “He's fallen ill because he has no lungs and no constitution,” he said, “and has con- tracted in India diseases about as bad as chol- era. Anyhow, that's my opinion.” Statistica show that cases of English cholera have been more numerous than usual in Lon- don during the past two weeks and the deaths from diarreaa have numbered 262 a week ainst an average of 236. The same returns ow 128 deaths per weex in London above the average deaths of the same week for ten years past. This may or may not be significant, Our Mary at St. Malo.

John Baxter, colored, and Mra, Jennie Smith, white, have been living together at Smithfield, Pa., lately and have taken possession of the house of Baxter's old father, driving the aged man outof the home and compelling him to sleep in barns, Recently the guilty pair re- ceived a notice signed ‘White Caps,” warning them to quit the community or take the con- sequences. Baxter thought he knew the writer of the notice and he wrote on the back of it as follows and mailed tt to the party: “‘Come on, I dare you tocome,” and signed it ‘Texas John.” The next of tho matter that Baxter heard of was a rap at his door, which aroused him from his midnight slumbers. He was confronted b; eight or ten stalwart men, well masked, each with a cowhide in hand. Mrs, Smith had heeded the warning and fled, but the invaders doubled the dose on Baxter, administering to him one of the most terrible beatings ever heard of in the community. He fought pluckily, but was overpowered by numbers, MRS. KEY TAKE HER CUE, She Astounds Baltimore’s Four Hun- dred by Going on the Stage. There has been no little gossip in Baltimore, says a special from that city to the New York Journal, over the announcement that Miss Beatrice Tiffany of the Monumental City had gone on the stage. Her father, Mr. Osmond Tiffany, isa member of Baltimore's four bun- dred and a well kuown club man. The special says: Miss Tiffany is a nieco of William Pink- ney Whyte, ex-governor of Maryland. She is also a niece of Judge Pinkney. The family is one of the oldest in the state. The news created much talk among Balti- more’s society folk and in the clubs. There is an interesting romance in connection with the story. About eighteen months ago Miss Tiffany was married to Francis Scott Key, then of Baltimore, but now of NewYork. He is a descendant of the author of ‘‘The Star Spangled Banner.” After the wedding the couple went to New York to live. They took a flat at 145 West 41st street, where many of Miss Tiffany’s. Baltimore society triends visited her, Among those who went to New York was an amateur actress who had ap- peared a number of times in the performances of the Wednesday Club, the swell amateur dramatic club of that city. That was last May. She persuaded Mrs, Key to accompany her to Providence, where Vernona Jarbeau was play- ing in “La Jolie Persanes.” Mrs, Key and her friend were both acqaintances of Miss Jarbeau, The leading soubrette was said to have been taken ill the night Mrs. Key arrived, and the manager, in search of some one to fill the part, met Mrs. Key. Sho had piayed in a number of pieces before the Wednesday Club in Balti- more, but never before an audience of strangers, In some way the manager induced her to take the part. Mrs. Key ap- peared as Miss Murrell. No one suspected her identity outside of a few members of the com- pany. When she returned to town her appear- ance in Providence was kept a profound secret, but in some way it leaked out and reached tho ears of her father, A little later it reached Mr. Key in New York, A scene followed. Mr. Ke} was obdurate and the actress was determine She not only admitted that she had appeared in tights as a boy, but that she intended to adopt the stage as a profession after a regular course of training. The news that Mrs. Key was studying for the stage did not reach the clubs there, but it was reported in town this week that Mra. Key had taken for the stage her maidon name and had entered into @ con- tract with Vernona Jarbeau’s manager for a season with her company. In a private letter received in Baltimore it was stated that Miss Tiffany left New York Thursday night for Mon- treal, where the season i will open August 25, — . SS Virginia State News.

From the New York Times. The callow youth who goes to the seaside for a day or two and lets the sun and wind play upon his face until the skin is painfully burned and his complexion becomes a flaming red turns up around town nowadays in large numbers, One young man so afilicted got this bit of advice from 4n old fisherman: “Get to a drug store as soon as you can and buy two ounces of the best olive oil, mixed with one ounce of lime water and a drop or two of rose water just to scent it. Then rub it on your burned face and it will take all the inflamma- tion out in next tono time.” — soe Now and Then. From Texas Siftines.

From the Boston Glove. ‘The very newest thing about the town is the “Bombay oyster.” The “Bombay oyster” isn’t an oyster at all, of course, but this is the name that has been be- stowed on it, it isa composition sufficiently simple and common to please the lean and larded purse alike. It is nothing more than an egg dropped. unbroken into a tumbler and deluged with vinegar and sprinkled with pepper and salt. It is consumed always before breakfast and bya great many sporting men in the city. One of its effects is to counteract the evil tendencies of over-drinking and over-eating.

The Toronto Mail says: “Notwithstanding the denial by the Washington authorities that Permission to ship Canadian goods in bond through United States to Mexico was recently refused our Montreal correspondent this morn- ing repeats his statement to that effect and gives what is considered conclusive proof of the fact, The suggested explanation that the alleged denial of permission might have been merely an intimation that the United States laws probibited the shipment of explosives through that country from one foreign coun- try to another is worthiess, in view of the fuct that when the permission was sought no men- tion was made of the class of goods it was pro- posed to ship.” A CIRCUS STAND’S COLLAPSE. Several People Injured at a Free Kick- apoo Indian Show. Ten or twelve persons were injured, some se- riously, by tho collapse of a stand at 62d street and Woodland avenue, Philadelphia, yesterday, which was crowded with people listening to the entertainment of a Kickapoo Indian doctor. The most seriously injured, all women, are: Elizabeth Cheeseman, fifty years, Burlington, » leg broken; taken to the house of her niece, 15 South 32d street. Mary J. Pearick, G6th street and Woodland avenue, leg injured and bruised about the body; taken home. Lizzie Torbett, twenty-three years, of Darby, bruises of head and limbs; taken home. Eliz- abeth Buhler, eighteen years, 70th street and Greenway avenue, a factory girl; taken to the University Hospital. There were, it is believed, 300 and 400 people on the stand at the time of the accident, attracted by the patent medicine seller's free song and dance show. which has been playing to good houses for & week, and people came from miles around to see it, The stand was such as is used under circus cauvas and stood in the open air in front of the platform where the “doctor” practiced his profession. Sud- denly, at 9:30 o'clock. a section of the stand crashed and threw dozens of people to the round. ‘There was a scene of great confusion. omen scteamed and fainted. while others made haste to extricate the injured from the splintered framework. Most of those injured were able to get to their homes near by, with the assistance of friends and the patrol wagons, cine ie arene a eee CAUGHT BY A BOY. A Burglar Fatally Injured by a Pitch- fork—Au Old Offender. At Akron, Ohio, Tuesday night Policeman Levear had a running duel with a burglar whom he caught in the act. The burglar es- caped, after both men had emptied revolvers. Yesterday afternoon on a farm of 8. E. Barnes, six miles east from Akron, several children were playing about a haystack, when one of them noticed a movement which they supposed was made by a wild anima’. A sixteen-year- old boy brought a long tined pitchfork and thrust it into the hay after the suppose. wild animal, It struck a colored man hidden under the hay, and one of the tines entering the right eye penetrated the head, producing fatal in- juries. The colored man had been shot througk the thigh and was identified by Officer Leveaz as the burglar, who proves to be John Williams, one of the most desperate crooks who ever operated in Ohio. He has shot two men and served two terms in Columbus, cover- ing more than fifteen years, —— 2 @e——_____ FRIGHTENED BY A GHOST. A Panic Among Children ina Berlin Public School, A great panic occurred yesterday in Berlin ina large public school in the Friedenstrasse, Tho children were possessed by the idea that the school house was haunted by the spirit of a former teacher who had committed suicide many years ago. At noonagirlof the first class became hysterical and ran into the main hall, crying out that the ghost was choking her. All the pupils caught the nervous dread andran from all the class rooms, catching frantically at their throats and yelling out that the ghost was attacking them. The teachers were powerless to restrain the terrified children and the staircases were soon strewn with them toppling over each other. Fortu- nately, the escapes being ample, they all ained the street, having received but slight injuries. The school buildings are being watched by the P ices in order to find out whether any evil-disposed persons have been personating ghosts to frighten the pupils. Whistled and Wept Under the Lash. Patrick Sheedy, Wm. Leader and Wm. Tur- ner, who some time ago were sentenced to two yearsin the Central prisonof Ontario and thirty lashes each for assaulting Elizabeth Richardson, a private in the Salvation Army, received theirsecond flogging in the prison yesterday. Leader and Turner took their pun- ishment in a dogged manner, the former whis- tling the air of 4 comic song while the lash was being plied, but Sheedy, who is the weakest of the three, shricked and wept likeachild. They will each receive ten lashes more before being liberated, An Alliance Man Under Fire. ‘The state alliance convention has developed a sensation here in the investigation at Atlanta of one of the biggest alliance men in Georgia, Felix Corput of Rome, ex-president of the state allianceexchange. In a speech before the con- vention Corput denied the truth of the charges, As he did soanother delegate read an affidavit of prominent stockman, which dwelt with transactions that Corput had while president of the exchange, and tended to show that Cor- put was looking out for a percentage for him- self, A similar charge grows out of the trans- actions with a Baltimore guano firm. These affidavits, it is nat) ined e direct core of Corput’s resigning the exchange presidency, which he cine time ago. At that time there were rumors of cruokedness, but no facts could be learned, Acommittee sa investigat- ing the matter. a The Cars Rolled Away. Judge R. A.
