He was married in 1859 at St. Louis, but childless, He is large, with hair and beard that are in- clived to curl. Adsices from Indiana state that there is a decided preference in re- yublican circles for the nomination of ngeessman Orth for governor, as a vindication of that gentlesan from the aspersions on his character by Springer's committee, and as a repar- ation of the injory done him four yesrs ago in taking his pame off the republican state ticket.

It has come, the long needed, hoped for and prayed for rain. Late yes- terday afternoon the clouds, darken- ing as the evening came on, gathered over the dusty city, but so often have ‘been deceived in these in- dicaiions that little notice was taken of them. About eight o'clock, how- ever, the rain began to descend to the accompaviment of rolling thunder sud a brilliant elcctrical display. The ehower proved to be but a light one, but before daybreak this morning the floodgates of heaven were again open- ed, and there is every indication that we ara to be blessed with a sufliciency of rain.

It is lucky that two or three more buildings were not blown dowa, or thete would not have been anything left to speak of At the U. P. depotthe worst work way done. Four O. & N. W. box ears standing on a sidetrack noar the depot, were blown off the tracks and on their side. Six or eight cars stunding near the stook yards were slto blown from the track, two of them losded with hay. About 160 feot of the platform and shed at the U. P. freight office wero blown down and demolished. Twenty five or thirty Western Union telegraph poles, between tho C., R.

A number of outbuildings, chimneys, otc., in tha vicinity of the depat wer blown down, and altozether the storm was ono of the most severe and dama- ging of the kind ever experienced in this vicinity. The worst feature of the wholo thing was the almost total absenco of rain, A flood would have been preferred to aothing in the shape of rain. TRINITY CATHEDRAL. Laying of the Corner Stone Last Evening. Interesting and Imposing Ceremonies. The formal cetemonies attendiog the laying of the corner stone of #he now cathedrai of the Episcopal church: in this city, took place last evening. Precisely at7 o'clock a procession was formed at the Christian church on 17th strect between Dodge and Capi- tol Avenuo. The procession moved in the following order: Nunth Infantry band, from Fort Oauha. Compan‘es G and H of Omaba. Bishops and clergy in official robes Lay delegates to the annual council. Laity and citizens. The procession moved up Capitol Avenue to 18th street,south on 18th to the site to be occupied by the new ed- ifice. The bishops and clergy took posi- tions on or near a stand erected at the northeast corner of the excavation, whilo the band and military occupied positions on the south side. A quar- tette of singers,were also placed near thestand. The church grounds as wellas the adjoining premises were covered bya concourse of several hundred spectators. Sections of th lower basement walla had already bLeen laid extending to the south and west. A oavity six inches deep, slx inches wile and ten inches long had been propsred, and into this a closely sealod cavket of copper was deposited. This recopta- cle contained copies of the bible, and prayer book, journal of the 12th, and last council of the diocese, proceedings of the installation of the dean, copy of church goardisn, containing a record of the diocese, catalogue of Brownell Hall, copy of Te Damwy BEE of yestocday morning, containing announcement of the exercises, copy of each of The Daily Herald, Daily Republican and Dail BrrpnAnd Dailx Hea, the Toi: lowing programme was cerried out: Singiug by the eutirs au 1.

Appropriste reading by Dean Millspaugh and responses by the au- dience, 3. Recitation of the Apostles’ creed, followed by a prayer by Bishop Clarkson, of Nebruska. 4. The Corner Stone hymn, to air o£01d Hundaed,” composed by Rev. H. B. Burgess, B. D., of Platts- mouth, Toord God of Hosts, Thou Mighty Lord, Who art in highest heaven adored, Feign would we here thine altar raise, Emblem of everlasting days. Inlyving faith we lay this Stone, To honor Thee, O Lord, alone. Be Thou our Corner Stone, and we Thy Holy Temple owned by Thee. And here when prayers and praiss are eard, Bless Lord, each mpplicast, with Thy or Tncrease our hope and faith in Thee, Thy loving kindness may we see. Bless Lord, each stranger at thy door, Enrich thy poor with heavenly store. Let men of high and low degreo Dwell here in love and unity. Sothrough the ages all along, Praise, praise to God, shall be our song, et saints on earth with choirs above, Here land and praise the Loved of love. 5. The stone belng placed in posi- Bishop Clarkson atriking it three times, said: “In the faith of Jesus Christ, we lay this Corner Stone of Trinity Cathedral, Omaha, of the Dioceso of Nebraska, in the name of God the Father. God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. Amen.” The Bishops and clergy followed by the people and military ropaired in procession to the old church, where Bishop Whipple, of Minnasota, deliv- ered an earnest, eloquent and senolar- ly address. The leading thought in this able production was a ples for church unity ond expressions of regret over tho large numbar of sects in‘o which the Chrlstian church s divided. One sontiment especially worthy of remembrance may bo summarized as follows: ““We cannot bring back the gorgeous cathedrals of the middle ages any more than we can bring back the feudalism of that period. If we could we should shut out this modern busy, thinking, freedom-loving world ix which we mow live. We can now raar beside the cathedral the honors of uercy, charity and love. We have rought our ideas of casts within the 18 of the church. It Is our prie that the humblest laborer can kneel beside the highest, and all humbly say, ‘Our Father.’” g Besides nearly all the clergy ot the E_iscopal church of Nebraska, thers were in attendance from abroad Bish- ops Whipgle, of Minnesota; Garrett, cf Texas; Wail, of Kansas, and Spaul- ding of Colorado.

Desver, Col., May 25.—The re- publican stats convention met here this morning. The convention wrs called to order by ex-Governor Routh, chairman of the state central commit- tee. Col. John Cleghoru, & Grant man, was made temporary chairman, Pending a motion to appointa com- miitee on credentials, a delegato from Chaffee county offered the following: WaEgEAs, A republican caucus was in session last night for the purpose of determining the work in to-day’s convention, and whereas, we, eighty- oae delegates to this committes re- presenting the republican countics, which cast in 1878 one thousand seven hundred majority received by the re- publican candidates for the governor, were not orly inv.tsd to said caucus, but abso ryexclnded therefrom on applicition for admission simply be- cause not pronouncing a regular pass word would never before requiredat a republican caucus. Therefore, Wo protest against said action which complotely stifios the voico of the steongest republican coun- ties of the atate and renders the pr.s- ence of their representatives a mock- ery anda farce. We protest against it because it is contrary to the prac- tices of the republican party of Colo- radoand the country, because it is unfatr and tyraunical and hence un- ropublican in its spirit. We have met in this convention as friends to fight a common foe and not each other, hence we deny the rizht of any sec- tion of the party to take any secret action which treats us as a foe and unworthy a sbare in the procced- ings of the convention, though repre- senting as we believe the sentiment of an actual major'ty of the republican voters of the sta'e. The resolutions were not entertain- ed, sud a motion to appoint a commit- tee on credentials was agreed to. The committee, largely composed of Grant delegates, was appointed and the con- vention then took a recess until 2 p. m. Dexver, Col., May Conver- tion reassembled at twoo’clock.

Campkell, Kent Wolf,—Louderer, A. P. Cary, J. T. Blake and J. D. Hall. Ex-Got- eraor Routt was chosen chairman of the Chicago delegation. Res- olutions were adopted request- ing celogates to the Chicago convention to use all honorabls means to secure the election of Gen. Grant and declaring Gon. Grant a fit snd competent p:rson to conduct the af- fairs of the nation; slsc, that while the republican party of Colorado expr-ssa preference for the nomination of Gen. Grant,they reco_nize In Mr. Blaine one of the purest ots and most able men that America has ever produced and shou'd he b2 the nominea at Chi- cago they pledge him Colorado by a large majority. The convention stood 166 Graot to 66 anti-Grant delegates, and was per- fectly harmonious, the anti-Grant men making very Little fight. Drowned. Special Dispatch to The Bee.
