The gold men believe that there is still a chance of saving the democracy from the silverites, and realize that there is no man in the country as well qualified for such a task as Mr. Whitney.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 18.—It is a fur- ther indication of the complete withdrawal of the goli democrats headed by Senator Brice from the contest for the control of the state corvention next week that John A Jahon, who was chosen by the state cert?al committee to be temporary chair- nan of the convention, has written a let- ter declining to ept the position. His letter, which was written to Chairman M. A.

Deep Artesinn Borings to Be Made by Commissioners. Within a short time the District will be- gin the construction of at least fifteen deep wells. The new appropriation bill contains an item of $4,000 for this purpose, and the Commissioners have decided that the inter- ests of the community demand pure water, which can only be obtained from these deep wells. Accordingly Maj. Powell has drafted a set of specifications, and within a very few days bids will be invited for the construction of these wells. The geological formation of the different sections will be studied, and the wells driven where the natural conditions are best adapted for deep water wells. The wells will consist of a six-inch casing driv- en to a depth of about 350 feet through the solid rock formation where the purest va- ter is obtained. The driving of thes2 wells will mark the beginning of a new drinking water supply for Washington, for as soon as they are established ail of the shallow wells will be done away with. Already the idea has been tried and found perfectly satisfactory. At the next session of Congress the Commissioners vill present an estimate for a very much larger sum in order to sink these wells in evecy part of the District. — HIGH SCHOOL CADETS. The Battalion to Take Its Rifles to Richmond. It now seems that the matter of rifles will notf prevent the provisional battalion of High School Cadets visiting Richmond on the occasion of the reunion of Confed- erate Veterans, June 20, as was thought. It is understood that the committee on Normal and High Schools of the board of school trustees will recommend to Dr. F. R. Lane, director of the High School, that the cadets be permitted to use the rifles on the Richmond t the committee as suming: the responsibility for the action. This announcement will be one of joy to the boys, the situation during the past day or two taking on an indigo hue. —— ae A PREDICAMENT. IN A Horse Falls Down an Elevator Shaft. sé attached to a dayton wagon and belonging to Edward Devlin, a locksmith, of 404 Gth street northwe: , attracted wide- spread attention and caused considerable commotion this morning about 11 o'clock by falling down the cellar in front of the 11th street side of Woodward & Lothrop's establishment. The boy who was driving the wagon had left the horse with his head turned outward toward the street, and had tied the reins tightly to the wagon. Of course, this prevented the animal from turning without receiving the consequent backward pull on his head, and this start- ed him to backing. Before he finally fell down the cellar, however, he managed to pull the wagon all rr the sidewalk, and came near going through one of the large Ahs plate-glass windows immediately behind the open trap door. The trap is about five feet square, and was open at the time, se that the horse had ro difficulty in get- ting in. The elevator, which is used to haul vp and down h y xes of merchandise, was about half i the animal's front legs between the heavy fl of the w cam r of the I so si before they could be fi Mr. Rabbit of the Humane Society and another gentie- man, whose name could not be learned, got down on the elevator with the horse and did all in their power to save the ani- mal as much pzin as possible. Ropes were procured, and with a block and tackle, and after about an hoi hard work, with the ance of some half a dozen willing pairs of hand the horse was taken out without a scratch, save for two or three bruises around the hoofs. The horse was a handsome animal, and immediately ran away on being released from his predica- ment, being ca t at the corner. The wagon was not injured, and the owner is congratulating himself that he is not out a valuable and handsome specimen of the equine species. —— UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA. Enthusiastic Utterances of Her Alumni at the Annual Banquet. The commencement of the University of Virginia yesterday was la-gely attended by friends and alumni of the institution from all parts of the country, the Washington cortingent being as usual large and enthu- wastic. The Alumni Society chose Dr. McKim of this city president, and Thomas Nelson Page of Washington as second vi president. ‘The annual banquet of the So- ciety of the Alumni was held in the af- ternoon in the Fayerweather gymnastum. The Richmord Times says: “After enjoy- ing the excellent bounty provided by the faculty, the following toasts were given and responded to most eloquently by the gentlemen named. All the speeches were xcellen the enthusiasm was at fever heat. E: liy excellent’ were the spcnses to the fourth toast by Prof. Mon- tague, dean of Columi: University, Washington, and by Re Lindsay of Boston, in’ which tk distinguished alumni bore testimony to the gi in eat esteem which the university is held by eat educators of the north. Profe: Thornton's response to the last toast par took of the cred prophecy selected as the subject, and stirred up the alumni to intense heat.” Among the toasts the following: “The Young Alumnus: May his youthful enthusiasm for his alma mater transformed into manly zeal in her be- alf,” was responded to by. Lewis id. Machen, Washington, D. Bogus Checks. Leo Leitchman, alias J. Kaufman, was arrested tod. y Detective Boardman and Policeman McDonnell on a charge of pass- ing bogus checks on a Baltimore firm. He was turned over to Detective Pontier of Baltimore, who tcok him to that city this afternoon. The prisoner claims that he is not the man wanted. —_——.__ Club Incorporated . The Banner Social Club was incorporated teday by articles filed by Dennis O'Connell, John M. Moore and Fred J. Spindler, di- rectors for the first year. ee Thrown From a Cart. Teylor Williams, colored, employed as a driver by Benjamin Leach, a contractor, was thrown frcm a cart at New Hampshire avenue and H street this morning and badly injured. At the Emergency Hospital it was found that he was suffering from concussion of the brain. Dr. McGrath and Dr. West rendered surgical aid. Se Tomm f{ney Here. Tommy Gaffney of Brooklyn, N. ¥., who is matched for a boxing contest with How- ard Wilson Monday evening, arrived in the city this morning. Reports have been in circulation to the effect that he had been sick and that the contest would not come eff. On the contrary, Gaffney is in fine con- dition and looks well. The contest will come off under the auspices of the Non- pariel Athletic Club, at their headquarters on the Bladensburg road, and will be wit- pressed by a number of local sporting men. ae eee Farewell Dinner. Frank H. Thomas, grand commander of the Grand Commandery, K. T., of the Dis- trict of Columbia, entertained a notable gathering of sir knights at dinner in the rooms of the Down Town Club yesterday. ‘The occasion was a farewell, and the last of several similar entertainments, recently given in honor of Sir Knight W. La Rue ‘Thomas, most eminent grand master of the Grand Encampment of Knights Templar in the United States, who has been visiting in this city during several weeks past, and leaves for his home, in Maysville, Ky., to- day. For the Firemen‘s Families. ‘The sum of $854 has been turned over to Chief Parris as a result of the excursion given to Marshall Hall by the employes of the mail equipment shops, Post Office De- partment, for the benefit of the firemen’s fund. The sum was turned over to the ohief by a committee, consisting of Messrs. W. F. McMurray, D. C. Haywood and D. L. Gar- vey, and will be used for the relief of the families of the unfortunate men, who lost their lives in the Louisiana avenue fire. LOCAL REPUBLICANS AGITATED. The Proposition to Take Awny Dis- trict Representation at Conventions. The colored republicans of the District are eagerly watching the developments of the efforts now making in St. Louis to change the political condition of things at the national capital. The proposition that has been made looking to a discontinuance of the custom of admitting delegates to the republican convention from the Dis- trict has greatly aroused the local poli- ticlans. Mr. Arthur St. A. Smith, one of the well-known colored republicans, said to a Star reporter today: “It would be a burning shame to leave the District of Columbia without the rep- resentation on the republican national com- mittee, which was officially given by the great republican party and joyfully and gratefully accepted by the republicans of the District by their enthusiastic election of delegates to the convention. It is the last vestige of official recognition which the republicans of the District have, and it ought not to be sacrificed to gratify per- sonal ambition or popular prejudice against any race of p2ople here or elsewhere. The cclored republicans can win again, any- how, in the District, in case we are allo ed representation, and I think Colonel C son ought to agree to the selection of any good republican for the national committee at this time, sc as not to lose future repre- sentation in the councils of the party. He can come home and beat the same man he names for national committeeman at this convention for delegate to the next convention, and thus control the position again, should he desire to do so. Carson is, by long odds, the shrewdest politician in the District, but it is patriotism that is required now as against selfishness. ‘The voice of the District of Columbia must not be lost in republican national conven- tions for the sake of any one man, whether black or white. I named Colonel Carson for national committeeman myself in the Chicago convention of 1884, but I thought at that time he would be sharp enough never to allow the District to be without official representation. The members of the Leard of trade, the stock exchange and the real estate pool will furnish the money from the District to the national committee for campaign purposes, and some one of their choice will receive place in the na- tional committee, and the poor negro of the District of Columbia will be without future recognition by the republican party. He will be like the man whe drives the hearse, ‘not in it.’”” od Greater Consideration for Petty Offenders. To the or of The Evening Star: In late issue of your paper appeared an article, evidently dictated by a human- itarian, zealous and Christian _ spirit, touching subject of promiscuous and cruel- ly unjust commingling of those unfor- tunates held as prisoners in our several police stations.

The celebration of the fortieth anniver- sary of the Fifth Baptist Church, Rev. Dr. Meador, pastor, was continued last even- ing. The church was filled, and an excel- lent program rendered. Dr. Meador was presented with a handsome bouquet of flowers on behalf of the congregation by Miss Mary Handy, a small child. The re- port of the work done by the Mite Society was read by Miss Carter. Rev. Dr. Stake! was the principal speaker of the evening. At the close of the meeting Mrs. Meador was presented with a basket of roses. Hotel Arrivals. Raleigh—G. P.

This morning between 12 and 1 o'clock an alarm of fire was turned in from box 328 for fire in houses 2514 and 2316 N street, the latter an unoccupied house. The cause of the fire could not be ascertained. The loss is estimated at about $800. Indictments Returned. The following indictments were returned by the grand jury this afternoon: Samuel Delaney, housebreaking; Frederick Davis, do., with intent to feloniously assault Mary Hardesty; Sadie Smith, larceny; George H. Bertram, do.; John Fleet, do.; George Mc- Cauley, ascault with intent to kill Detec- tive Sutton; Enoch Baker, alias Monroe Tolliver, second offense of carrying con- cealed weapors.

He pleaded guilty, and the judge sentenced him to three ars in the Albany peniten- tiary at hard labor, the maximum penalty.

THE CONVENTION (Continued from Eleventh Page.) Reed Put in Nomination. Maine called. SeAalor Lodge ascends platform and nominates Reed. “Four years ago we met, as we meet now, representatives of the great republi- can party. Prospeyity was in the land.

Our own beundaries have been threatened in Alas- ka. The Monroe doctrine has been de- fended, but is not vindicated. The peo- ple of a neighboring island fighting for freedom look toward us with !mploring eyes and look in vain. The Americen policy which would protect our indus- tries at home and our flag abroad has faded and withered away. ‘Look then upon that picture and on this. Could you on that falr mountain leave to feed and fatten on this moor?’ “Rut four short years have come and gone and they have brought this change. What has happened? I will tell you in a word. The democratic party has been in power. is the answer. Upon us falls y burden of binding up these wounds and bringing relief to all this suffering. The demucrats deceived the people by promising them the millen- nium, and the miserable results of those lying’ promises are all about us today. We “have no promises to make. We pledge ourselves only to that which we believe we can perform, We will do our best. ‘That is all, And as in 1860, we ved the Union and abolished slavery, now in 18%} we will deal with this acy of blunders, bank- ruptcy and misfortune. To Choose the Next President. “We are gathered “here to choose the next President of the United States. That we will win the election, no man doubts, But, let us not deceive ourselves with the pleasant fancy that the campaign is to be an easy one. It will be a hard battle; {t cannot be otherwise when so much de- pends upon the result. Against the re- publican party, representing fixed Ameri- can policies, strength, progress and or- der, will, be arr: not only that or- ganized failure—the democratic party—but all the wandering forees of political chaos and social disorder. It is not merely the presidency which is set before us as the prize. The prosperity of the coun- 50 democratic 1 Senator Lodg try, the protection of oundness of our curre and the na- tional credit are all s ed on the great issue to be decided at the polls next No- vember. Upon us rests the duty of res- cuing the country from the misery into which it has been plunged by three years of democratic misrule. To drive the dem- ocrats from power is the first step and the highest duty, but we shall triumph in vain and in our turn shall meet heavy punish- ment at the hands of the people if we do not put our victory to right uses. Such a crisis as this cannot be met and dealt with by shouts of enthusiasm. As Our Fathers Faced Slavery. “We must face it, as our fathers faced slavery and disunion, with a grim deter- mination to win the battle, and that done to take up our responsibilities in the same spirit with which we won the fight. Now, as then, we can hope to succeed only by the most strenucus endeavor, and now, as then, everything depends upon the ad- ministraticn we place in office. We want a President who will meet this situation as Lincoln met that of 1861, with the chiefs of the republicans about him and with party and people at his back. We want a President who on the fifth day of next Marck will summon Congress in ex- tra session and, refusing to make ap- pointments or to deal with patronage, will Say that all else must wait until Congress sends to him a tariff which shall put money in the treasury and wages in the pockets of the American workingman. “We want a President who will protect at all hazards the gold reserve of the treasury, who will see to it that no ob- ligation of the government is_ presented which {s not in whatever coin the creditor chooses to demand, and who will never forget that the nation which pays with honor borrows with ease. “We want a man who will guard the gafety and dignity of the nation at home and abroad, and who will always and con- stantly be firm and strong in dealing with foreign nations instead of suddenly vary- ing the long course of weakness and in- difference with a convulsive spasm of vigor and patriotism. “Also, we want a man who will lead his party and act with it and who will not, by senseless quarrels at the White House and the Capltol, reduce legislation and execu- tlon alike to imbecility and failure. Such is the man we want for our great office in these bitter times, when the forces of disorder are loosed and the wreckers, with their false lights, gather at the shore and lure the ship of state upon the rocks. The Needed Man. “Such a man, fit for such deeds, I am now to present to you. He needs no praise from me, for he has proved his own title to leadership. From what he is and what he has done we know what he can do. For twenty years, in victory and defeat, at the head of great_majoriti d_of_small minorities alike, he has Ted mis party Congress with a power which no ma: could dispute and with an ability which never failed. I have seen him with a maddened opposition storming about him carry through that great reform which has made a House of Representatives the strong and efficient body It is today. “T have seen him during the past winter guide a great majority so that they have met every demand put upon them and industries, the made no errors which could burden the republican party in the campaign before us. Before the people and in the House he has ever been the bold and brilliant champion of the great republican policies which, adopted, have made us prosperous, and abandoned, have left ruin at our doors. He is a thorough American by birth, by descent, by breeding; one who loves his country and has served it in youth and manhood, in war and _ peace. His great ability, his originality of thought, nis power in debate, his strong will, are known of all men and are part of the history of the last twenty years. His public career is spotless, and his private character is pure and unblemished. He is a trained statesman, fit for the heaviest task the country can impose upon him. He commands the confidence of his party and his country. He is a leader of men. “We know it because we have seen him lead. To those who have followed him he never said ‘go,’ but always ‘come.’ He is entirely fearless. We know it, for We have seen his courage tested on a hun- dred fields. He has been called to great places and to great trials, and he has never failed nor flinched. He is fit to stand at the head of the republican col- umn. He is worthy to be an American President. I have the honor, the very great honor, to present to you as a candidate for your nomination the Speaker of the National House of Representatives, Thomas B. Reed of Maine.” When the Bolt Was Made. ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 18.—Of those who went out of the convention, the Utah men were Cannon, Kerns and Allen. None of the delegates from the territories went out. The delegates around the Colorado seats broke off the Colorado standard and sent it out after them. The Idaho standard is still standing. ee TO FOLLOW TELL R. Decision of the Colorado and Utah Delegations. The Colorado delegation held a inecting at St. Louls last night and decided in posi- tive terms to leave the convention in a body upon the adoption of the platform centaining the declaration for a gold standard. It has been frequentiy en- nounced that they would pursue this course, but there has really been more or less dcubt up to last night that they would, onc or two members of the delegation being in doubt as to the wisdom of the course. Senator Teller was present and told the other members of the delegation that he appreciated to the utmost the gravity of the step, and that notwithstanding their ingtructions to be governed by his opinion, he felt that the occasion was one when every man should be guided largeiy by his opinion. The decisicn to go out of the con- vention was unanimous. The Idaho dele- gation as a body, a majority of the Utah and Nevada delegations, and a part of the Montana and North Carolina delegations will go out with the Colorado men. At a meeting of the Utah delegation last night, Delegates Cannon, Allen and Kerens announced that they would go out of the convention with Senator Teller. The other three delegates, Senator Brown and Messrs. McCormick and Trumbo, announced that they would remain in the convention. Al- ternates Rogers, Green and Smith were present at.the meeting, and announce? that they would take the vacant seats and abide by the results of the convention, so that the Utah delegation will be full, in any event.

This de- velcped in the case of Arthur Ashton, colcred, who was tried this morning on a charge of crueliy to animals. Evidence was given to show that the cow wac dis- abled to the extent that she could not stand, and in an effort to get the animal on its feet he twisted its tail. Two wit- nesses said that he also kicked the cow and struck her with a whip. He ad- mitted having twisted the cow's tail and using the whip, but denied the. kicking. A fine of $25 was imposed. —— Presentation to Maj. Anderson. At a campfire last night, held by Lincoln Post at G. A. R.

Upward of bought at the clcse cf yesterday’s market, f = in the hope of being sold abroad this morn- ing, were forced out at the low opening level.
