TM.xaiu.ir to the dispatch, l Philadelphia, May 24. "I was at the sieeting held on the evening of September .12, 1881, at which the Law and Order So ciety of Philadelphia was organized, and hare been an active member of the organi sation ever since," said Mr. J. B. Jones, one of the Quaker City's prominent citizens, "and I have never seen the time daring all the period since that evening when such methods and operations as have been adopted by the so-called Law and Order Society of Pittsburg would be countenanced by our association, or any considerable pro portion of its membership." As Mr. Jones has been a member of the Executive Committee of the Philadelphia society from the date of its formation, one of the strongest financial supporters of the organization and thoroughly familiar with all its work, he speaks from exact knowl edge and by authority. He was found at the established headquarters ot the society, a very pleasant suite of rooms, adorned with many portraits of well-known Ameri cans and historical pictures of value. "What is your opinion of the effect of such a crusade as has been inaugurated In Pittsburg, Mr. Jones?" was asked by The Dispatch correspondent. Not Baled by a Select Few. "It can hardly fail to be harmful to real law and order," he replied, "and is almost certain to have a reactionary influence. "Where so many things have been attempted as has been done in Pittsburg none of them can be rightly carried out At odd times during the life of our Philadelphia society one or two radical members have buggested a movement against such features of modern civilization as the street cars and papers, bnt such ideas have never received any con siderable support, and of late years not even a suggestion of this nature has been heard." Then Mr. Jones turned questioner and in quired: "How many members has the Pittsburg Law and Order Society and what is their standing with the public?" "When informed that the actual membership of the organization was the one feature most jeal ously guarded, and that the number of citi zens who would admit such a connection did not exceed a score, Mr. Jones expressed considerable surprise and said: "Two thousand persons, including many of the best-known citizens of Philadelphia, are upon our rolls, and the number of what we call contributing members is over 600. Vjp expect to increase our strength this year by from 2,000 to 2,500, and are now taking active steps to that end. Heretofore our membership has been entirely composed oi tnose wno nave enrolled themselves at our public meetings, or who have volun tarily come to our ranks. Now, however, we have divided the city into districts and we are conducting an active canvass for the purpose of making our organization even a more representative one. This is certainly quite a contrast, as compared with our Pittsburg namesake. I understand that what is left of the original Pittsburg society has largely fallen under the control ot a few radicals of that denomination which is so determinedly hostile to America's institu tions that they refuse to vote or exercise their duties and privileges as citizens be cause the Federal Constitution does not ex actly meet their ideas. I presume their present tactics are influenced by motives equally unreasonable." sticks to Legitimate? 'Work. The President of the Philadelphia Law and Order Society is Arthur M. Burton, a practicing attorney. When visited by TtfB Dispatch correspondent he said: "Our society has practically devoted its entire attention to matters earnestly de manding attention, such as the suppression of violations of the laws relating to the liquor traffic In this line we have been thoroughly successful, and our efforts are now commended by the public and even by the prudent ones amonc the legitimate dealers. The society has persistently fol lowed the principle of its organization. We tender to the authorities, whoever they may be, our aid and encouragement in the performance of their duties. We do not criticise them when the decisions ot the courts appear to be unfavorable, or for any apparent neglect of duty, but we do take occasion to commend them most heartily for wliat they have done and are doing to make the spirit of the law effective. "Not only has our society furnished in formation to the regular authorities, but frequently have they requested us to give this information to them when their own efforts have been partially, or, perhaps, altogether unsuccessful. I believe that scarcely a licensed bar can now be found in the citv that does not respect and obev the law. Wehae recently had very few cases calling for the revocation of licenses. We have the support and sympathy of our clergy of all denominations, and of our best citizens without distinction of party. Republicans, Democrats and Prohibitionists alike are our active helpers in the work. "All our progress has been accomplished by our careful and conservative policy," continued President Burton. "I have no desire to criticize any organization in another city, but would simply call your attention to the fact that our proceedings have been such as to secure the hearty co operation and well wishes of the constituted authorities, as well as the great advantage of being sustained by public sentiment. This, of course, would not be the case if the organization had attempted any rash and ill advised movements. I can say officially that the Philadelphia Law and Order So ciety has no intention of beginning any such crusade as that which has so aroused popu lar indignation in Pittsburg." Opposed to Anything Questionable. Lewis D. Vail is the chief counsel, and consequently one oi tne most active officials of the Philadelphia society. In response to the question of The Dispatch correspond ent he said: "Our organization had always considered tbat to do one or two things well was a better policy than to scatter our efforts over large and questionable field. Consequently we have never made any movement agains't the delivery of the news of the day, the running of street cars on Sunday and similar features of modern times, and there is no present indication that we ever will. As for the Sunday paper, that is largely an individual question, to be decided by each person for himself. If a church member believes that the Sunday paper would interfere with his religious duties, he does not need to take it or read it. There is no compulsion about it. The paper is not forced on church members; but my in formation is to the effect that a large, num ber, possibly a majority of them, including ministers, too, are glad to get it. With this fact well known, I do not see how a crusade against the Sunday paper can consistently be made on religious grounds. The only reasonable argument is that the newspaper workers should have one day's rest in seven, but I understand that is provided for. Those who insist that the day of rest should be Sunday are clearly mistaken in attack ing the Sunday paper, as I am sufficiently well acquainted with the newspaper busi ness to inow that it is the issue of Monday morning which requires the real Sunday work. May Be a Blrtsluc in Disguise. "On the principle that the best way to secure the repeal of the obnoxious law is to enforce it," continued Mr. Vail, "the present tactios of the Pittsburg Law and Order agents mar be a blessing in disguise. The law under w'bioh newspapers and drug gists have been prosecuted is certainly ap plicable equally to the streets and steam railways, and even the telegraph and tele phone. Perhaps the Pittsburg organiza tion will move on these institutions next; but we certainly have no idea of doing so. What did the Pittsburg Law and Order Society do before the last license tribunal in the'line of remonstrances and assistance to the court?" asked Secretary D. Clarence Gibbony. of the Philadelphia sooiety. When informed that the work of that de scription was confined to a dozen or so re monstrances filed by Agent McClure against applicants in his own township, he said: "There is great difference between the Pittsburg methods and ours. "We work openly, and at the last License Court filed about'1,700 lemonstrances against applica tions which we reearded as unnecessary or of an improper character. "We work in active haimony with the regular authorities and have frequently been commended by them." Folly or McClare'n Crasadn. "Such utter foolishness as an attack on the Sunday papers has never even been sug gested during my connection with the Phil adelphia Law and Order Society," con tinued Secretarv Gibbony. "X am certain that a large majority of our membership would emphatically disapprove of any such wild scheme. I believe the Pittsburg move ment can hardly fail to have a reactionary and harmful effect, and I confidently expect its ultimate defeat." The assurances of the officers of the Phila delphia Law and Order Society as to its sane and conservative course are hardly necessary when an inspection is made of the roll of Vice Presidents and members of the Executive Committee. The list includes such well-known names as those of Herbert Welsh, ex-State Treasurer Henry C. Bover, Bev. W. N. McVickar, D. D., Harold Goodwin, John Y. Huber, Charles Perrlne and a host of others of equal prominence. At the last public meeting held under the auspices of the society a tew weeks ago, Hon. John Field, postmaster of Philadelphia, presided, and an address was made by a well-known Congressman. Imagine, if you can, a simi lar occurrence in Pittsburg, under the di rection of Agent McClure. BRUIN AT THE CAPITAL One of the Bears Breaks Out of the Zoo and zcltes the Country He Is Finally Killed Altera Big Hunt Is Organized. "Washington, May 24. As a colored boy, who resides near the "Zoo," was pass ing along the Pierce Mill road early this morning, there appeared at the brow of the hill he was climbing a grizzly bear. It had escaped only a short time before from the Zoo. To say that the boy fled is putting it mildly. He flew, and although he says "Der bar chased him foah miles," the keepers at the Zoo think he was too badly frightened to know exactly what happened. The escaped bear was about three years old. Last September it was caught in the Yel lowstone Park, and the Superintendent of the Park sent it here to the Zoo. - Soon after davbreak word of the animal's escape spread through the country and caused a feeling of uneasiness, especially to those persons who had to send their children to scnool. .tanners wlio heard the news, started out to see that their oittle were pro- eeted an1 at f1"0" every house through the country where the news was known the doors and windows were kept closed tor fear that the animal might appear at the wrong time and play havoc with the people as well as with the stock. About 11 o'olock a posse started In pursuit of bruin. Messrs. Crsaier, of Bock Creek Park, and Cramer, of the Zoo Park, were mounted, while Messrs. Coyle and Houghton, citizens, were also in the party. Farmer Routt was armed with a breech loading gun. Dr. Baker arrived shortly after and al most every "Zoo" employe joined in the pursuit. They were armed with pick hnn dles, pitchforks and stones, while some car ried pistols. After tracking the bear a short distance in the direction of Pierce's Mill, they returned across the road into the Park, where they found his track. The pursuing party steadily increased until about a score of men armed with various weapons were following the bear. Shortly after 11 o'clock bruin crossed the road in the rear of the Zoo Park, and lor more than an hour he was kept in sight. Mr. Louis Hess, a carpenter in the grounds, and Mr. Hunter and another man had him sur rounded at one time, and then for the first time the animal showed fight. He attacked Hess and might have killed him had not Hunter beat him off with a club. The bear then made a wild dash for the woods. He turned again on his pursuers shortly, and the latter leveled their guns and fired. Superintendent Blackburn got in two loads of shot in the animal's side, and Parmer Routt put in an effective shot and bruin rolled over dead. WOMEN WAGE A WAR. Discontented Suffragists Speak Their Minds at a Llyely Meeting The New England Society Denounced as a Sham by One of tho Leading Members. Boston, May 24. Special The Women Suffragists have been unceremoni ously bustled out of the Legislature this year and this fact resulted in a lively row at the annual meeting of the New England Woman's Suffrage Association to-day. One faction thought that the officials had been negligent and the leader of the discon tented ones, Mrs. Ellen B. Dietrick, boldly declared that the New England So ciety was a sham and that Massachusetts had just completed a year of failures. Nothing has been done, she said, in the line of practical work. Mrs. Lucy Stone, who presided, objected to the statements, and started to say so when Mrs. Blackwell declared that she wanted the floor. Mrs. Blackwell only wanted to make a statement, but she had to give way. As soon as she had taken her seat after defending the society, Mrs. Dietrick rose again, but Mrs. Blackwell tried to shut her off by calling for regular business. Others took' the floor, but Mrs. Dietrick managed to get in a word now and then. "The New England Association is bank rupt," ejaculated Mrs. Dietrick. "I'm paying its bills," shouted Dr. Blackwell, "and am giving 100 cents on the dollar." So the matter was continued despite the efforts of the officers to bottle it up, until finally a semi-barmonious feeling was se cured by a cry for toleration. POLICE SET AT NADGHZ New Orleans Strikers Prevent the Street earn From Running. NewOrleans, May 24 Special Only a few of the street cars were running to-day, although the Mayor had a large force ot police on hand to assist. There were from 8 to 15 policemen to each car, but despite their number, the tracks were covered, the cars thrown from the tracks, and in some cases the non-union drivers beaten. The Mayor swore in a number of extra polieemen, including leading members of the Stock and Cotton Exchanges, but al though there was full police protection, the cars did not run, as it was Impossible to get men to take the risk. A general strike is threatened by several of the labor organizations. BLUE FOR DR. BRIGGS. The Case Bobs Dp 4 gain, and Two Beports Are Submitted Thereon. HIS ENEMIES IN THE MAJORITY. A Decisive Battle to Be Fought in the Gen eral issemblr To-Day. DOCTORING THE V. .& CONSTITUTION Portland, Ore., May 24. The first matter of general interest taken up at the Assembly to-day was action taken regard ing the proposed six teenth amendment to thoTJ. a Constitution. Injected into the afternoon session was a preliminary report of the Judicial Com mittee, upon which the Briggs case is to be introduced. Vic- Vr.. W. E. Moore, tory thus far appears .Permanent Clerk.) to be with the anti Briggs party. There were two reports upon an appeal from the action of the New York Presbytery in dismissing his case, as was prophesied some days ago; but the fore boding of the conservatives was unfounded. Now they are In a decided majority. The decision in the Assembly is awaited with interest, and to-morrow, at 4 o'clock, is the time filed for the hearing of the case. The first unpleasant episode of the session occurred rifear the olose, when Dr. Bartlett, of Washington, referred in ratfcvw sneering terms to the report of the committee on co-operation with other churches. A Very Talr Financial Snowing. The report of the standing Committee on Home Missions was read by Dr. McPherson, of Chicago. The board began the year with a debt of nearly 5100,000. One million dol lars were asked for last year, and contribu tions reached within 570,000 ot tbat amount, of whioh over 5843,000 were available. The present debt is 167,000. The large immigra tion has given this board foreign work to do at home. The report gives an account of the work in the various States conducted by 1,479 missionaries in churches with a membership of 93,500 and a school attend ance of 141,000. During the year 62 churches have become self-sustaining. The States having most missionaries are: New York, 140; Kansas, 112; Iowa, 102; Minnesota, 84; California, 82; Illinois. 81; Nebraska, 80; Michigan, 74; the Dakotas, 112, and the rest a smaller number each. The whole ot the moraine session was oc cupied with the discussion of home missions, and It was only cut short by the arrival of the hour for adjournment. Sixteen recom mendations looking toward extension of work were reported. Doctoring the American Constitution. The committee report on the sixteenth amendment to the Federal Constitution was presented at the opening of the afternoon session. The text of the amendment is slightly altered in order to meet a speoial objection. The proposed amendment is as follows: Neither Congress nor any State shall pass any law respecting any establishment of re ligion, or prohibiting tne free exercise mere of, oruse Its piopeity and oiodlt or any money raised uy taxation, or auuionzo either to be used, for the purpose of found ing, maintaining or aiding by appropriation, payment for servloes, expenses or other wise, any chuich, religious denomination, religious sooiety, or any institution, sooiety or undertaking which Is wholly or in part under sectaiian or eooiesiasncai control. On motion of the Assembly, after indors ing this amendment by a unanimous vote, the report of the Committee on Aid for Colleges and Academies was introduced by Dr. Alexander, of San Francisco. During the year the board has lost its efficient seoretary in the death of Dr. Ganze. The receipts of the year have amounted to a little over $50,000, while other gifts have aided the work. Over 95,000 appropriations have been granted to 15 colleges and 21 academies. In the colleges aided, there are now 175 candidates for the ministry. The Briggs Question Bobs Up Again. The claims of the work were further pre sented by Dr. Ray, the new secretary, and others, who represented all sections of the country. At this point the re port of the Judicial Committee on Appeal in the case of the trial of Dr. Briggs for heresy was sprung upon the Assembly. It was read by Dr. Smith, of Buffalo, Chairman, and was as follows: First, That in the opinion of this commit tee the appeal taken by tho Presbyterian Churoh In the United States of America and the original party, repiescnted by the Com mittee of Prosecution, appointed under Section II., Book of Discipline, has been taken from the final Judgment of the Pres bytery in dismissing tho case, and that said committee had the right to take this appeal. representing said original party. Second, That it finds that notice of appeal had been given, and tbat the appeal, specifi cations ot order and record have been filed in aocordanoe with Sections 96 and 97 of tho Book of Discipline, and the appeal is in order. Third, That in the judgment of the com mittee tho appeal should be entertained, and time set apart for the hearing of the case. The committee reports tbat an appeal is in order, and tbat the General Assembly should proceed in accordance with the pro visions of Section 99, of the Book of Disci pline, by causing Judgment ot the appeal and specifications of errois alleged, to have been read; then to hear the appellant by a Committee of Prosecution; then to hear the defendant in person or by his connsel; then the appellant by a Committee of Prosecu tion in leply to the question "whether the appeal shall then be entertained." The Minority Presents Its Report. Immediately after the statement that the sessions of the committee had been entirely pleasant and harmonious, though not un animous, a minority report was announced. The document was read by Dr. Frazer, of Newark, and was as follows: "Whereas, The Book of Discipline requires that tho appeals be generally taken to tho Judiciary immediately superior to thatap pealed from: and Whereas, There are sufficient reasons for making an appeal against the action of the Presbvterv o: New York in dismissing the case against Dr. Briggs an exception to the rule. Thereforo, we recommend to the General Assembly that the appeal be not entertained; tbat papers in the case be returned to tho appellant, and that they be advised to bring their appeal or complaint befoie the Synod of New York. This report was signed by T. R, Frazer, Thomas Gordon, Oswald P. Backus and George V. Ketcham. The only action taken upon the report thus submitted was to fix 4 o clock to-morrow as the time for their con sideration. The report of the' Committee on Co operation, with others, was read by Dr. Thompson, ot New York. In view of the opinion entertained by many, it is doubtful whether the recommendations of the com mittee would have been adopted except for the peculiar antics of a reverend doctor of divinity. Dr. Bartlett, of Washington, remarked that he wanted to get rid ot "this wooden headed committee." He denounced the re port as "worthless, reminding him of a 15 volume German work written on a flea." When called to order by a delegate, he in solently asked: "What's your name?" The Moderator allowed him to continue his re marks, in s pite of a well-taken point of order. The heur of adjournment was postponed a few minutes to allow Colonel Shepard, of New York, to deliver the greetings of the Methodist General Conference at Omaha, which had been Intrusted to him. Return f reelings to the Conference were adopted y a rising vote. FOR SIBICT SUNDAY OBSERVANCE. Southern Presbyterians Denonnoo Pleasure, Travel or Rending on That Day. Hot Spbinos, May 24. At the South ern Presbyterian General Assembly to-day, the question of extending aid to theological students, as presented in the report of the Committee on Education, after being dis cussed at length, was postponed. The report of the special Committee on the Sabbath strongly urged a more strict ob servance of the day, condemned attending places of amusement, travel, reading world ly literature and all secular pursuits upon the Lord's Day. Upon the proposed open ing of the World's Pair on Sunday it takes high ground, entering an earnest protest. Many overtures received prayed tbat Con gress be asked to make it a condition of any grant of funds to the Exposition that open ing on the Sabbath be prohibited. The re port was adopted by a large majority. CONGRESSMEN IN CAUCUS. They Acres to GIvo the Appropriation Bills a Free Right of Way In the noose Preparing to Adjourn at as Early a Date as Is Practicable. Washington, D. CL, May 24. Demo crats of the House met in caucus to-night for the purpose of considering the "order of business." The result was a decision to put the appropriation bills ahead of everything else and prepare for an adjournment of Congress as early as practicable. There wis an unusually laree attendance, nearly every member in the city being present. Mr.tHatch,in the interest of the anti-options bill, fought the motion to give the appro priation bills precedence with vigor and vehemence, but was outvoted by a large majority. He has not given up the fight, however, and it is very like ly will oppose the appropriation bills on the floor of the House. The caucus was held in response to a call circulated to day by Mr. MoMillin, Tennessee. Soon after the caucus met, Mr. McMillin, of Tennessee, offered a resolution providing that precedence should be given the regular annual appropriation bills over all other bills. Mr. Hatch, in a live speech which created some ill-feeling, opposed the resolu tion. The river and harbor bill was brought into the discussion, and the caucus got into a parliamentary tangle over an amendment to the McMillin resolution of fered by Mr. Clark, of Alabama, providing that the riuer and harbor bill should be included among the regular annual appro priation bills having precedence over other measures. The resolution to give the ap propriation bills free right of way finally passed by a large majority. Mr. Hooker, of Mississippi, offered a resolution directing the Committee on Utiles to report a rule providing that whenever a member asks unanimous consent for the passage of any bill it shall be granted unless ten members object The object of the resolution was to put an obstacle in the way of objectors Watson and KiJgore. Opposi tion developed to the resolution on the ground that it would make possible the measures which there might be good reasons to keep in the background, and it was lost. The caucus then adjourned. POLK'S WILL INVALID. He Creatrd a l'erpetuity 'Which Conld Not Be Maintained Under the tw His Home Cannot Be Held Forever In Trust by the Stato nf Tennessee. Nashville, Tenn., May 24. Special To-day Chancellor Allison set aside the clause in the will of President James K. Polk, by which Mr. Polk conveyed Polk place, where both he and his wife are buried, in trust to the State of Tennessee. The Polk place is in the central portion oi Nashville, and is valued at ?50,000. Mr. Polk died June 15, 1849, without children. His widow passed awav some months ago. The will was written with his own nand in tne executive .Mansion at Washington when Mr. Polk was President. The will states that it was the desire of himself and wife that the Polk place should never pass into the hands of strang ers, and "to prevent such contingency" it was conveyed to the State, that the worthy of his name and blood might occupy it from generation to generation. The will also expresses the wish of the testator and his wife that their tomb might be at Polk place: that it should not be removed there from and no building or other improvement should be erected over said tomb. The will further provides for the tomb to be kept in repair forever by the tenant as a small re turn for the 'privilege of being permitted to occupy the home of his illustrious relative. These three are the leading ideas of the will, and they are all to go on forever. After Mrs. Polk's death, the heirs at law of Mr. Polk filed a bill to have Mr. Polk's will construed. The heirs at law main tained that the foregoing devise and intrust to the State were void, because it creates a perpetuity, establishes a house of nobility and secures through the instrumentality of the State a succession of persons related in blood privileges and honors inconsistent with the laws ot the State. Chancellor Allison concludes his opinion as follows: "As no one of the diflerent in tentions of the testator conld be carried out without maintaining a perpetuity, the whole will must be set aside so far as con cerns Polk place and tbat property turned over to his heirs at law." A BTNUM BOOH Adds Another Factional right to tho Demo cratic List in Indiana. Indianapolis, May 24. Special. It is announced that a Vice Presidental boom for Congressman W. D. Bynum has been launched by preconcerted effort from Wash ington. 'Some of the warm friends of Gray are cruel enough to believe that Bynum's candidacy has been announced for the sole purpose of destroying whatever chance for a nomination Gray may have had. It is not improbable that the candidacy of Bynum will bring on a considerable quarrel in the party in this State, and may, many think, injure Bynum's chances for re-election. Many Democrats in this city express regret to-day tbat Bynum has allowed himself to be drawn into the race. They say the party is sufficiently demor alized in Indiana now. The delegation will go to the convention divided into three, if not more, factions. HATTIE BLAINE'S BLISS. Minister to Persia Beale Will Wed the Secretary's Daughter. Washington, May 24. Mr. Beale, the United States Minister to Persia, is in this city, having arrived here yesterday. He is on a leave of absence. It is said that his presence here at this time is for the purpose of marrying Miss Hattie Blaine, the young est daughter of Secretary ot State Blaine. His engagement to Miss Blaine has been standing for over a year. Mr. Beale is the grandson of the late Com modore Truxton, United States Navy, and the son of General Edward Beale, of Cali fornia and Washington. He is a handsome and olever young man. It is stated that the wedding may take place before the de parture of society for the seashore and mountains. HE HAS A MOTHER ONCE, Bnt Her Memory Only Lod Iltm Into the Clutches or a Captor. Chicago, May 24. Special. When Mrs. Edward Handrey returned to her home last evening she saw a man ransack ing the drawers of her bureau: She screamed and the fellow clutched her by the throat. She demanded to know the cause of Ms visit. He said he was after 'All those jewels were uiven to me by my mother," Mrs. Handrey cried in a hys terical way. The burglar returned his plunder. "Take it, madam," he said, ''your wishes shall be respected. I had a mother once myself," and with a polite bow, the burglar walked out the back door and into the alley. He was caught by a Dutcner ana wiu oe tried lor nouseoreas- ing". EIGHTTrTWO BALLOTS. The Steubenville Convention Winds Up in a Strong Deadlock. STUBBORN OHIO REPUBLICANS Fail to Agree as to Who Will De Nominated for Congressman. L1TELT SCENES AT THE CONTENTION fFFECIAI. TELEQBAM TO TOE DISPATCIT.1 Steubenville, O., May 24. Ai 10 o'clock to-night the Sixteenth Republican Congressional Convention, which met here to-day, adjourned after having taken 82 exciting ballots and made no nomination. The vote stood the same at the end of the eighty-second ballot as it did at the end of the first. The convention was held In the City Opera House, which was handsomely dec orated, portraits of all the Republican party leaders having been hung on the stage. The convention was called to order by Hon. O. L. Weems, of St. Clairsville. Rev. O. V. Stewart invoked divine blessing on the gathering, which was soon a seething po litical cauldron. Hon. Loronzo Danford was selected tem porary chairman and in opening spoke of the benefit to this valley which the Repub lican system of protection has been, clear from Yellow Creek on the north to Sister ville on the south. After the appointment of the various committees the convention adjourned for dinner and did not assemble until 2:30. Hon. Loronzo Danford was made Perma nent Chairman and W. R. Johnson Secre tary. The Tariff Policy Indorsed. The resolutions were read by Hon. Rob ert Sberrord, and they indorsed the Repub lican National platform of 1888, denounced the attempt of the Democratic House to bring in free wool, indorsed President Har rison in gushing terms and withont qualifi cation. Major McKmley and his tariffbill were heartily indorsed. Hon. C. L. Weems. St Clairsville, pre sented the name of Colonel O. L. Poorman. His mention of Blaine's name brought forth loud applause. Dr. Armstrong, of Monroe couuty, seconded the nomination. C. Deford presented the name of Judge McCoy, of Carrolton. Colonel John S. Pearce presented the name of Hon. D. A. Holliugsworth. Hon. John M. Cook presented the nama of Hon. Rees G. Richards, and his speech was so masterly that he was complimented by Carroll's 23 votes and 9 from Monroe on one ballot. Then began the contest of ballots which may last all to-morrow. Complimentary voting was the order of the day. "You tickle and I'll tickle you," kept up until adjournment to-night. The vote started: Poorman, 60: Hollings- J worth, 30; Uarroll jucuoy, 23; Holllngs worth, 3; Harrison, 9; Hollihgsworth, 26; Jefferson, Richards, 43; Hollingsworth, 4; Monroe, Poorman, 13; Hollingsworth, 1. Total, McCoy, 23; Poorman, 73; Hollings worth, 34; Richards, 43. The eighty-second ballot stood the same. Trading and flirting was the order from the first, Monroe doing the most of it, voting solidly at times for Poorman, Hol lingsworth, Richards and McCoy, at others giving all four a share. This at times re duced the votes of all the leading candi dates except Richards. Votes That Changed About. Poorman at one time ran as high as 76 votes, and dropped in several ballots to 54. Hollingsworth ran up as high as 63, then down to S2. Carroll at times divided her vote between all four candidates and then would return to 23 for McCoy. Harrison would give several votes to counties that had complimented them and then would ring in that "26 votes for Hollingsft orth" that has been heard at six conventions. Jefferson county for the first time in her history voted solidly for Richards, except the four delegates which Hollingsworth captured in the west end of the county. Three of these voted several ballots for Richards, then returned to Hollingsworth. For all but two of the 82 ballots Chair man Cook announced 43 for Richards, 4 for Hollingsworth. At the end of the 2G ballots the conven tion adjourned for supper and did not as semble until 8 o clock. Then 56 ballots were taken in two hours with several changes, which were complimentary and meant nothing. To Think Over the Events or the Day. Several attempts were made to adjourn, but there were cries of "fight it out," but at 10 o'clock they saw tbat the deadlock was complete and concluded to see if a night's rest and prayer or liquid refreshment would solve the snarled contest. The feeling is against Hollingsworth be cause he made a fight against all the candi dates and by bushwhacking methods cap tured three in Belmont, four in Jefferson and three in Carroll Colonel Poorman is in the lead, but there is a feeling that he has reached his limit, and his failure to secure the nomination on the first ballot in a measure means that he will never be able to pull through. Carroll county has made two breaks, which were nipped in the bud. Last night she agreed to vote for Poorman in lieu of Bel mont's support for Isaac H. Taylor, but this was blocked because Taylor was a Foraker man, and the convention is overwhelmingly Sherman. Another attempt was made dur ing adjournment this evening to throw some of the Carroll delegation to Poorman, but this was stopped. Hon. Robert Sberrard, Colonel John S. Pearce and State Senator Eckley are spoken of as dark horses. A black knight will steal the prize, as no one of the four can now possibly be nominated. The deadlock is firm, and no one of the candidates will withdraw, so that at to-morrow morning's session a dark horse will be rushed in and nominated.
