A COMMUNICATION from a friend
came to late for this weeks paper.
Several other matters do not appear
for want of space.
WE learn that two of the three dele
gates from thiscounty to the llarrisburg
State Convention, of May 10th, will
not attend the re-called one of Cooper.
DR. S. H. MATHESON, late of Mich
igan but formerly of this county, has
returned here and been registered un
der the recent law as a practicing
physician in this county.
THE assassin of Garfield, whose
name "will go thundering down the
centaries," as he himself declared, has
just nine more days to consider the re
sult of being "a stalwart of the stal
warts."
THE article of the Pittsburgh Dis.
patch of Monday, on the Congressional
nomination in this district, is such en
tire news here that we will be pleased
if it gives the source of its information.
It is entirely groundless so far as we
know, and may make misunderstanding
and enmity where none now exists.
We therefore request of the Dispatch
to state upon what it bnsed the edi to
ri al we refer to.
THERE has nothing been made plain
er than the fact that Cooper has no
power to revive the old Convention,
and by the delegates refusing to give
any attention to bis caU he and Cam
eron, for whom only he is acting, may
be compelled to see tho necessity of a
new State Convention, at and by
which the two State tickets, now be
fore the Republicans of the State, may
be reduced to one. This all now see
is tho only way to harmony and sue
cess this fall, so far as the State ticket
is concerned.
THE Republican county ticket, nom
inated at the recent primaries, is well
received by the party very generally.
During last week and this we have
bad occasion to see and converse with
Republicans attending Court from all
parts of the county, and all express
the same sentiment, that the ticket is
composed of competent men, having
good moral characters, and as being
worthy of the support of every Repub
lican ef the county. Such a ticket
cannot fail to have the usual Republi
can majority in the county in Novem
ber next.
THE first Republican meeting in the
State, on Independent side, was held
in Pittsburgh last week and is said to
have been largely attended and very
enthusiastic. General James K.
Moorbead presided at the meeting, and
speeches were made by Hon. John
Stewart, the Independent nominee for
Governor, Col. Duff, nominee for
Lieutenant-Governor, and Col. Wil
liam McMichael, nominee for Congress
man-at-Large. This is starting out
with flying colors, and indicates the
lively campaign we have before us, un
less the breach in the party on the
State ticket is healed.
OUR effort in the last two or three
weeks has been, in our limited sphere
to point out the necessity of a new
State Convention, to heal the difficul
ties existing as to a Republican State
ticket. We have still hope that a new
State Convention will be arranged for,
in the interest of peace and harmony.
If this is done a bitter contest will
likely be prevented. But if it is not
done it need not affect the county
ticket or the local politics of any
county. The only trouble being on
the State ticket the county or local
tickets will be supported by the
whole party in every county of the
State, so far as WR have yet noticed.
TIIE Philadelphia in urging
the call for a new Republican State
Convention says : "TL ere is no hur
ry about this matter. The election
is still five months distant. No Re
publican need fear ihat the door is
c-osed because the new Convention is
not called off-baud. There is room for a
good many things to happen in the
next few weeks, and events are a
good, deal more powerful than bosses
or committees. The need for a new
Convention will increase. The diffi
culty of having one will not. The
sense and insight of even the Harris
burg Convention his yet to be tested i
as a body. It went off once without j
orders ; it may again. The Republi-1
can party through the State, as it!
seethes lrom week to week, is sure to j
to bring its demands to the surface. '
None of will make the new Con
vention harder to call. The ill-feeling
over a split is sharpest when it comes,
the need of a new bridge is generally
felt the strongest after the neighbors
have been teaming it for a few weeks
around the spot were the old one once
stood."
THE Republican County Committee |
of Tioga Lave unanimously adopted
resolutions declaring that there is no
power to reconvene the llarrisburg
Convention : that the Regular and In
dependent State Committees should
join in calling a new Convention under
i the new rules; and that such Conven
tion should nominate a new State tick
et. The current for the only practical
method of harmonizing the party is
sweeping on.
I >ON CAMERON is over doing the
thing and mauy of his most ardent ad
mirers are becomiug disgusted at his
domineering, dictatorial manner. Ihe
following from the pen of Hon. J. R.
McAfee, of the Greensbunj Tribune
and Herald, and for years one of Cam
eron's friends, is a pretty large sized
straw.
"We are no special admirer of Hon
Cameron as a political leader. We
think he lacks knowledge of |human
nature and don't understand men well
enough to bo a wise, prudent and sate
leader. In cur humble judgment he
is not disposed to consult the people s
wishes or pay sufficient deference there
to, in order to be a popular leader ;
and hence, we are convinced that a
verv decided majority of the Republi
cans in this State would prefer some
ono else who is more in sympathy with
the masses, and who is more represen
tive in his character and disposition,
j to take his place."
TIIE letter of Thomas M. Marshall,
Esq., oil the political situation in this
State, will be seen in another place
If anything was wanted to demon
strate the utter absurdity of the at
tempt of Cooper to give life to a dead
body it is supplied by the letter of
Mr. Marshall. Taken with the letter
of General Lear, the Chairman of the
old State Convention, which we pub
lished last week, no man having any
experience in such questions can doubt
for a moment Cooper's total want of
power in the premises. He had, as
Mr. Marshall says, not even organized
the State Committee over which he
claims to preside—never having had a
meeting of the same—how then could
he make a call in its name? Even if
there was no other question, the Com
mittee that he assumes to act for
never met, never was orgrnized and
consequently never gave him any
such Dower. But in addition to this,
when .ve consider the present situa
tion of affairs in the State, this assump
tion is preposterous. At the present
time what is wanted is harmony and
union if possible. And if the dele
gates who may assemble to-day, under
his call, take the right steps by de
claring for a new State Convention,
this may lead the way and there may
yet be peace and harmony in the State.
No Tootlmelie Convention lor
Th em.
SHARON, Pa., June 18.—Your corres
pondent has it »rom the best authority
that none of the delegates of Mercer coun
ty to the Convention of the lOlh of
May will attend the Convention called
by Chairman Cooper for the 21st inst.
The delegates are C. A. Ashton, J. D.
j Caldwell' and Joseph Bentley. Mr.
Ashton, at least, was a supporter of
Wolfe last year, but was chosen, with
his associates, by a Convention mostly
made up of Independents, to represent
the county at the Hajrisburg Conven
tion. There Will be a thorough organ
ization of the Independents of this
county as soon as the campaign begins
in earnest.— Pittsburgh Dispatch.
Senator Lee on Mr. Cooper.
Philadelphia Press.]
FRANKLIN, June 15.—Senator J.
W. Lee is actively engaged in his can
vass for Senator and with his large
law practice. I asked him what he
thought of the calling together of the
old Republican State Convention. He
said:
"The old State Convention cannot
be called together because it adjourned
sine die. The notice of Senator
Cooper calling the Convention togeth
er is entirely irregular. If I am cor
rect, he is not chairman of the State
Committee for the reason that he has
not been elected to that position.
Heretofore, it has been the habit of the
State Convention to elect the Chair
man, or authorize the State Commit
tee and the candidates—to choose
him. The Convention of May 10 took
no action whatever in this respect, and
it i 9 surely an act of great assumption on
Mr. Cooper's part to call together the
dead Convention without any authori
ty but his own. For this reason I un
derstand, the delegates from this
county will not attend the Convention.
They may go to Harrisburg, but if
they do I think it Will be for the pur
pose of meeting with others for the
calling of a third Convention compos
ed of delegates selected by the people
at primary elections held the same day
all over the State, to meet some time
in August or September to name a
ticket. This is the general feeling in
this part of the State. The common
belief is that the ticket of May 10 will
be defeated unless harmony aud unity
are attained by some such action.
There is another point. The Ilarris
burg Convention did not meet the de
mauds of the people for the amend
ment of the rules governing the party.
The conference at Philadelphia recom
mended the adoption of four distinct
rules. The committee of the Conven
tion of May 10 struck out two of those
rules and a reference to the proceed
ings of the Convention will show that
they did not even adopt the remaining
two, but simply recommended their
adoption. This the Philadelphia con
i ference had done, and it was the busi
j ness of the Harrisburg Convention to
adopt them if it was intended that the
party was to be guided by them in
the future. It may be that the reason
why Mr. Cooper has not called the
State Committee together is because
he is afraid they will adopt these
rules, or that if they had come togeth
er they wonld not authorize the call
ing of the old Convention to nominate
a Congressman-at-Large. E. M. 13.

lie Wives the Reasons Why He
CaimotOo to llarriMbiirß.
PITTSBURGH, June 15.—Hon Ihom
as M. Marshall to-day addressed the j
following letter the editors of THE!
PHILADELPHIA PRESS, Times aLd j
Pittsburgh Dispatch :
PITTSBURGH, June 15.—You have I
requested me to communicate in a
public way my purpose touching a
Convention which I learn bv the news
papers is to be held on the 21st of this
month. Having received no official
notification of the assemblage it may
be proper that I give the reasons which
control my action:
The Convention of the 10th of May
nominated a candidate for Congress
man-at-Large after positive and express
notice that he would not accept office.
That Convention, as I understood, dis
persed without formal vote of adjourn
ment, and without making provision
for its own recall. Dispersed with
out providing means to meet contin
gencies such as sometimes occur under
the most careful management. If that
Convention, as has been suggested,
has still vitality for the purpose of
completing unfinished business, that
vitality must exist in its own body, I
should say in its executive—Hon.
George Lear. If this vitality exists
the sign of life should emanate from
within and not borrowed from an out
side taper. It appears, however, that
a stranger to the Convention has as
sumed authority on the premises and
issued his call.
THE STATUS OF MR. COOPER.
Who is Mr. Cooper? From whom
does he derive his authority? His
name does not appear on the roll of Con
vention's membership, nor was he one
of its officers. He was chairman of the
State Committee, which expired with
the organization of the convention of
the 10th of May. Mr. Cooper, haying
no authority from the Convention, is
acting beyond his sphere.
A call from a chairman of a dead com
mittee is more than void. The fact
that a new State Committee has been
partially provided for does not help the
case. The stream cannot give life to
the creator.
Moreover, the new State Committee
has not met or organized, and the sem
blance of excuse for the call of Mr.
Cooper does not exist in that direction.
It seems to me that the gentleman who
has assumed the grave responsibility
of requiring 251 delegates to leave
their homes and business at his pleas
ure has been swift to meddle in a mat
ter not of bis concern. It is an act not
sustained even by the usage of party
machinery in Pennsylvania, and singu
larly unfortunate, in view of the tem
per of the times.
I shall treat this call as unauthorized
and take no notice of the demand.
This is not a small matter. It is a
vital question of power. I bel : eve that
self-respecting men who were delegates
should refuse to sustain the call by
their presence or cooperation on the
21st of June. Those desiring to fulfill
the bidding of the projectors of this
call may attend and enroll themselves
in service In my judgment, this kind
of management has almost came to an
end.
REMIT THE QUESTION TO THE VOTERS.
If the dissatisfaction of the Republi
can voters with those who meet in a
hotel parlor and choose a Ci-ngress
man-at-largc, without consultation of
the people, is not already known, it
may be gathered about the Ist Tues
day of November next. It is nearly
five months until the voters will be
called upon to vote for State offices.
There is abuudant time to give the
Republican voters a chance to choose
their own standard-bear.ers. Would it
not be well to remjt the grave dangers
that imperil the party to the voters for
their dicision.
I see that this same Mr. Cooper pro
poses to submit the two tickets, now in
nomination, to a voluntary poll. From
whom does this gentleman derive his
authority in this new matter ? Who
would be bound by the result as declar
ed by the machine ? Are the Repub
lican voters of the Commonwealth to
be limited in the choice of their Gov
ernor to James A. Reaver or John
Stewart. I earnestly suggest that Mr.
Cooper has let himself out beyond his
measure, and he might with propriety
retire from the front. The whole
question is capable of a fair solution
by a reference to the only source of
power —the Republican voters of the
State. If this attempt to control and
direct the suffrage of the Republican
voters is persisted in, there is but one
remedy known to me ; that is to be
found in the free action of each individ
ual voter.

could not always be maintained in
New York. Doubtless he thought,
and thinks, the rank and file of the
party were silly, but they were not.
Mr. Cameron's methods in Pennsyl

fact wherever political power has been
used in disregard of or in opposition to
the wish of the people, the people are

I)ES MOINES, June 18.—The late
ness of the hour at which anything:
like authentic statements could be had
last night from the tornado at Grinnell,
and the consequent prostration of the
wires, prevented any report being sent
out. The first startling reports of the
loss of life were soon confirmed, and
authentic reports swelled the list of
dead at Grinnell to forty, with several
severely hurt, and Cornell College
building ruined. Eight at least were
also killed at Malcolm station, nine
tniies east of Grinnell, and several liv
ing in the farming district. A freight
train on the Kock Island road, between
towns, was caught in the wind and
badly wrecked, detaining trains west
three hour 3, and a freight train on the
lowa Central, just north of Grinnell,
was also badly derailed.
The first authentic news of the ter
rible havoc was received by the Regis
ter, as follows: Both college buildings
at Grinnell were blown down, with
half the north part of the town in ruins
and a large uumber killed aud injur
ed.

TIIE DEVASTATION DESCRIBED.
A special to the Register sent at
7 :30 says : From numerous and con
tradictory stories of startled citizens
we gather the old story of the deep
roaring sound preceeding a funnel
shaped cloud. It was first seen com
ing from the southwest, sweeping up
to the northwest corner of the town,
leveling huge trees in its pathway aud
taking A. A. Foster's house and barn,
laying both to the ground, and carry
ing Mr. and Mrs. Foster and their
children thirty yards, precipitating
them amidst debris, all somewhat in
jured. Just east of Foster's was 11.
C. Pitman's house, also completely
leveled, burying beneath it Pitman,
bis wife and three children, wife's sis
ter and her little baby. Foster took
out a three-year-old girl, Ilattie, dead,
a boy, Harry, aged ten, fatally injured,
and Arthur, slightly injured. Not far
away was the residence of Mr. Lewis,
an old gentleman and lady, who were
both killed. Charles, their son, was
in Des Moines and thus escaped.
From here the storm pursued a zig-zag
direction to the north of the city, when,
after wiping out the finest residence
portion of the city, it turned toward
the college. The west building was
dumped into a heap of lath and plas
ter and broken timber, burying beneath
eight students who roomed therein, all
of whom were afterwards extricated
more or less injured and one died. The
East College, a five story building,
was unroofed and fire followed. After
completing its work of demolition at
the college, the whirling fiend struck
straight across the lowa Central Rail
road and directly in its path lay load
ed cars. A great Mogul engine was
lifted completely off and the train top
pled to either side at the whim of the
wiud. Across the track was the
building of Prof. J. W. Chamberlain,
treasurer of the college, which was
gathered up in sections and dumped in
a disjointed heap portions upside
down, irretrievably ruined. Dr. R.
N. Scott's house was turned almost
completely. C. W. Hobart's elegant
residence and barn are completely gone.
Near by once stood a two-story bouse
iu which Miss Abbie Agard was killed,
hardly a sign left of it. In the vicinity
stood the house of H. Y. McConnell,
who was going around almost dement
ed carrying a lantern in which there
were no glass or light, moving it up
and down in search of valuable papers
which were blown away. The house
was a pile of lath, splinters and plaster.
| • AMONG THE ACRES OF RUINS
in the vicinity we came lo a block
which contained nine houses, all but
one leveled to the ground. In one
house of this block four persons were
killed; Mr. Ford and wife, the hired
girl and Mr. Totten. In this vicinity
F. W. Williams' house was unroofed,
Prof. Ilerrick's aud Mrs. Morris' two
houses were bunched together. Not
far off stood Lucy Sanders' fiue resi
dence and what of it is not scattered
over the adjoining country is dumped
iuto the cellar. There were ten 'peo
people in Sanders' cellar, aud all
escaped. Mr. Taylor and Mrs. Day's
houses are both gone, also the home of
Hon. C. F. Craver, and also a large
new residence of Andrew Tarrabee.
i The side and top of B. 11. Clark's
| house were blown off, also his barn.
The home of Merrill, of Kimball <fc
Merrill, was unroofed. Then followed
rows of houses as fiat on the ground
as space will allow, among them John
Carhart's, W. Ilufus Keeker's, 11.
Schaff's, editor of the Signal, then
Prof. Buck's residence and L. C.
Phelps', and a house belonging to Mr.
Hayes. The hurricane took every
thing north of President Magouu's
home, leaving that uninjured. In the
northwest corner of the city the
storm leveled the house ol Wilson
» P*., June 21, 1882.
Ellis, as also that of J. M. llose, who '
is slightly injured, the house of'
Henry Spr.aldiug was leveled, then the •
home of Kimball, <>f Kimball it Mer- '
rill, dry goods dealers. A. J. Pres- !
ton's house was moved six feet from
its foundation. The dwelling of
Attorney Dunn was leveled, also that j
of G. B. Truwell, dry goods merchant; j
also the new house of Graham, the
merchant tailor. Near hen- Mrs. (iris
wold was killed and her house demol
ished. John Morrill's house was
blown a distance, apparently in the
teeth of the wind. Nut a sign is left
of the house of Madison Howard. The
house of Geo. Hamilton. Cashier of
the First National Bank, is in ruins. G.
Jennings' new $5,00 l) house is in
kindling wood and broken plaster.
Two houses belonging to Mr. Bathom
and rented by Misses Lewis and Dills
were obliterated. The house of A. E.
Rienfred was completely demolished
and himself and wife taken from the
ruins nearly dead. Mrs. Stewart's
house was blown half a block, the
fragments jamming the corner of the
Jones House.
SCENES ARGUNI) THE RUINS
are hear-trending. Families are wander
ing over the ruins of their homes in a
dazed sort of a way, replying willingly
to all questions asked and laughing in
such a pathetic manner at some ridi
culous incident, while some near and
dear frieud is dead or dying. One
young girl was heard say, half in tears
and half in laughter, sue believed she
had found a fragment of her room and
was looking for seme articles in which
to know it. She stopped and picked
up a photograph and burst into tears.
It was the picture of her little sister
who had been killed. Many of those
who were saved iu demolishing dwel
lings had fled to cellars while houses
were carried from over their heads. A.
J. Preston was away Irom his home
and saw the funnel fury coming. He
tried to reach his home, but the tornado
caught up with him and he kept him
self from being blown away by cling
ing to the roots of a tree. C. J. Craver,
whose wife and three children were
away, saved himself and hired girl bv
seeking refuge in the cellar. He says
before they wont there the air was fill
ed with flying timbers, and they began
to come through his house, as easily
through woodwork as wiudow glass.
Mr. Christian took his wile and children
into the celler and all was saved. His
house is somewhat damaged. The
engine house where seventeen dead
bodies are laid out presents a sight
that brings back army days Other
dead are around in the wrecks of their
homes, where enough was left for
shelter, or sent to the houses of friends.
The furniture scattered throughout
the stricken district indicates the class
■ of people whose homes have been
levelled Rich furniture and carpetings
are buried in the debris and mud,
while fine pianos are turned upside
down or scattered iu fragments over
the prairie.
ANOTHER TOWN DEVASTATED.
MALCOLM, IOWA, June 17.—A ter
rible cyclone passed over here at 9:30
to-night. We have found five dead
and the wounded are numerous. Five
of the best business houses are demol
ished, including the Gazette office, both
churches and one-third of the dwelling
houses in the town are flat or badly
damaged. The cyclone extended as
far as we can hear, destroying and
killing everything in its path. All is
excitement here. At 1:20 the follow
ing are the four dead : C. 11. Wheeler,
old Mrs. Meyers, Mrs. O. Meyers, Mrs.
Hall. A man and his son were blown
into a well. The father climbiDg up
the pump stock, pushing his child be
fore him. South of Brooklyn a barn
was destroyed and three people killed.
Eleven dead bodies have been found at
Malcolm. The only authentic news at
3 P. M. from Mt. Pleasant is that the
night train was derailed.

MEATUS.
McBRIDE.—Of consumption, Miss Annie Mc-
Bride, of Pine Grove, Mercer county, Pa., on
the morning of June 7th, 1882, aged 22 years
and some months.
Dear sister Annie now has left us,
And her loss we deeply feel,
But 'tis Jesus hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows Ileal.
But why should we lament in saduess,
Happy with three sisters now ?
She has kuelt in heartfelt gladness,
Where the blessed angels bow.
She has gone to Ileaveu before us,
And our loss is but her gain ;
With her Savior she is happy,
Free from suffering, care and pain.
Let us then prepare to meet her,
When the fleeting life is o'er;
And among the ransomed greet her,
On that happy peaceful shore.
