Chicaqo, June 2S.?The t wo-and-a-half-year-old
laughter of Thomas Barrett is lying dangerously

from the rSerUot an Assault made on her Thurs
day tfternoon by a vicious game chicken, the prop
erty of Patrick Crowley. Little Sarah, will!" play

trie fence into her yard. Having seen her mother
"shoo" the chickens back to their own territory
the child ran toward the chicken, waving her
skirts and crying, "Dtt out, dlt out.''
To her great surprise the rooster ran
toward her with outstretched win,--*. Fiy
tng to her head lie struck her with
his spurs near the temples and beat her in the
Jnce with his wings until she Ml bleeding to
the ground. He then jiecked and gaffed the
child about the head until her screams brought
her mother to the scene. Mrs. Barrett was
compelled to seize the broom-stick and make
for the chicken before It ran ofT. The father
applied to Justice Kersten y<~*erday for per
mission to kill the rooster, but he w.is Informed
that there was no ordinance covering the legal dis
position of a vie loos gam-cock. The child will re
cover, though her condition was such Thursday
lilglil that a physician had to be summoned.

WiixiaM^roRT, Pa., June 25.?James Low, aged
3.1, and his sister, aged H, caused a sensation at
llewart, this county, to-day by digging up the re

executed in this cliy 14 y? arsago. The dead mur
derer was bun d In the corner of a cornfield, the
ex act location of the grave being carefully con

expn-ssed as to wh*-th r Wade had ever been

given to the ph>sl lans for dls-sectIon.

Tlie XltBailoH at Cklrmf* Lam Kl(ht
The republican convention at Chicago re.vv
wmbled shortly after 4 o'clock Saturday after
noon, but immediately adjourned again to 11
o'clock Monday morning without taking a ballot.
The precise reason for this acuon Is not
I clear. K Is said tliat the Blaine men
bad prepared a plan to nominate Blaine
on the Oral or seconJ ballot on Saturday.
Alabama *? to load the way, and be followed by
all the Blaine states In succession. New York Join
ing witn ntty votes, and the Blalue menln Penn
sylvania leaving the leadership of Ouay and re
turning to their first love. Even Ohio, led by Gov.
F'oraker, who wants the second place on the ticket,
was to contribute twenty or twenty-five votes to
the grand old column. All this Is known, but It Is
not known why the scheme ? as abandoned. A Chi
cago man, who has been empowered to speak for
Mr. Blaine, and who Ut a man of good Judgment
and not a politician, was called Into a confer
ence of Blaine leaders Just belore the meeting of
the convention. He was Informed of the plan In
hand, and was shown a list of 4?J >ure and reli
able Blaine delegates, or an assured majority of
the wuole convention. This man looked over the
list, saw that it comprised the names ol delegates
who are ostensibly lor other candidates, and at
011. e icave his dictum as follows: "This thing must
come to a stop," said he. "Mr. Blaine cannot take
tnti nomination by riding over the rights of
any of tne men now In the field. He
regards them all as his friends, and knows
tuey nave entered this contest In good
faith, believing him to be out by hl9 own act.
You propose to draw delegates from the support
ers of these men to undermiue them and defeat
thern. It you nominate him in this way a cable
gram will be received from lilrn In tweniy minutes
declining the nomination, and you will tnen be In
a worse predicament than ever. This tiling must
be stopped." Keluctantly Kiklns and h.s col
league consented to postpone tne Bialne coup,
and the friends of all tiis candidates except Har
rison Joined tue Blaine men In forcing an adjourn
ment till Monday morning.
THt I'ONFt.KKSt E COMMITTEE.
The conference committee which was appointed
Friday by the interests hostile to Harrison met
Saturday, but found themselves practically with
out business, as Harrison was already out of the
race. However, after various speakers had ad
dressed tue meeting upon tne impossibility of
nominating any man but Blaine, they appointed
a committee to take the situation into con
sideration and to present to the confer
ence committee a ticket which, If the members
saw ilt, they could report back to their del>-ga
tions with toe recommendation that they support
It. A committee of ten was appointed, represent
ing the different factions, consisting of colonel
Davia and Senator Karwell in beliali of Greshain,
M. 11. 1a; Young for the Blalue movement, Hubbel
and t lark.->oa lor Allison, the Hon. Mr. l>unield lor
Alger, Governor Foster and the Hon. Ben
jamin Buiienvorth for Sherman. The con
lerence then adjourned until L'::i0 and the
committee immediately went lino session, notify
ing .seuators Hoar and t^iay to be present. Senator
yuay did not immediately put in an appearance,
'lue first action taken was by Senator yarweli,
who, after complimenting Judge Gresham, said
that lor the sake of harmony he would withdraw
his name.
Gov. Footer then addressed the meeting In behalf
of John Shermau as the ablest man that the com
mittee could report in favor ol At the conclusion
of Gov. Foster's remarks Mr. buffleld addressed
the commit lee in favor of Gen. Alger, congress
man Clarkson was then called upon, and he very
sti onsly urged the claims ol Senator Allison.
Ji. il. l>e You.;,' being called on stated to the
committee tu.it h- thought they were not there to
listen to the praises of the different candidates,
but to decide upon the mau that was most availa
ble, and w no could carry the country tor the party;
thai the better plan Would be to examine into
the merits and demerits of the different candi
date's. Mr. He Y'oung stated to the committee tue
objections urged by ilie representatives from the
Facllic coast to two or three ol trie candidates, set
ting lortn tir ii weaknesses, and concluded by
saying there was no necessity ol settiug lorth the
claim s and availability of Mr. Blaine, us everybody
Was too we:l acquainted witu lum to require that.
At this moment Senator yuay came Into the
room, lie stated to tne committee tnai New Y'ork
had declaeii to supi>ort Blaine, and he could not
se. now the nomination of Blaine could
possibly be avoided. He lea that the majority of
ihe convention would be in favor of It. The chair
man, Senator F'arweii, staled lhat in any event It
was the duty of the committee to recommend the
name of some candidate lor Ihe conference to sup
port as a body, and the name of congressman Mc
Kluley, of Ohio, was proi>osed.
1 he commit, tee Was polled as to some of the Can
didates and by a large majority decided thatSuer
man was oui of the nghi; trial Bialne being a pos
sibility with the convention It was the duty of the
c ii.imlttee to endeavor to select somebody outside
ol Mr. Bialne, and that he ougul not to be con
sidered by this couimlitee. Tue result of this was
a protracted discussion. An attempt was made to
catechise tue representatives present as to their
second choice.
Mr. DuOieid, the manager of the A'ger forces,
w as asked who his delegation would support In the
event in >t Gen. Alger was out of the way, to which
he replied, Blaine.
The same question was put to Mr. De Y'oung,
who stated thai his position was different from
lhat of any gentleman present, nls delegation suo
portlng a candidate who, in his opinion, wuuld t?e
I nominated. Therefore 11 Was ridiculous to ask
him to name a second choice, especially in view of
the fact lhat the candidates represented by the
other members of the committee were aU practi
cally out ol the race.
At this stage of the proceedings Senator Hoar
addressed the meeting, and said that Blaine was
very dear 10 ihe peopl- of Massachusetts; that
they thought very highly ol him, and that he
could undoubtedly carry his state. He thought
Congressman McKluley could also carry It il he
was placed at tue head ot the ticket. The Ohio
delegation. Gov. Foster and Gen Buiterworth, re
lused to consider shenuan oui of the fight
notwithstanding the committee hud so de
cided. Kepeaied ballots were taken. ou
the first ballot in the committee no
one candidate received over three voles. After
repealed oaiiolliig McKlmey re?"- eil seven votes.
The chairman, Mr. Farweli, turned to Mr. l>e
Y'oung and asked u, iu if Ue would recommend hi.)
delegation to support Mr. Mckinley, and ne re
pd-d that he would not, that his de.egatlun had
declared lor a mau wuo now held the majority
j vole In the convention and It would slmpi> be
ridiculous to ask luem when they Uad won their
light to reluse al that moment to vote lor hltn.
Tuere was a great deal of discussion, ,ind some
that lavored .mi. McKluley now oojecled to re
porting mm to the conierence. Mr. iiullleld said
thai if luey reported a man it tugu. to be one
strong enough lo beat Mr. Blalue, which Mr.
Mckluley could not da Another de legate stated
thai \lr. Mckinley h-d this morning practically
plac d hlmsen iu tue same po-u.ou as B.aine, wlien
he ^01 up ou a cualr in the coh\mllju ami slated
thai he was not a candidate lor tne p.vsideucy.
Alter some more discussion. It was hiiaily decided
to report two names to the conieience, and the
second name cuosen was Allison. Tue committee
then adjourned to report u> the conierence.
When the conierence had to some extent dis
cussed the situation, a motion was made that
tuey adjourn tne convention immediately on meet
in* In me aiternoou until Monday morning to
give time for inorou-'h discussion of the situation
and it was agreed thai each delegate in ihe con
fereuce be requested to urge tneir delegation to
vole lor an adjournment ol tue convention. It was
so ordered.
the DEADLOCK CONTINCES.
Y'esterday's developments seem not to have
siinplllled Ihe situation to any appreciable extent.
It was thought probable In some quarters that a
communication w ould to-day be received from Mr
Blaine reques Ing lhat no votes be east for him
There is a deep feeling on all sides that tne
"li.aine-or-busl" program Is not sanctioned by Mr.
Blaine himself. The plan of the opposition, t .ere!
iorv, is simply to stand tirrn and wall forMr. Blame
hlmseli to s|>eak, or lor his assured representatives
to loree the L-sue.
FOKAKER DESERTS KHKRMcS FOR BLAISE.
Gov. F'oraker, of Ohio, is quoted as having said
on Saturday: ??senator Sherman is no longer a
presidential possibility so far as this convention Is
concerneiL I have done my full duty by him in
his candidacy. 1 have been Just as laithtul, 11 not
more so, and equally as conscientious as many
members of the delegation to further his and
Ohio's interests. Bui. as 1 say, he is practically
out of the quest.on, and my support ceases
from now on. There Is almost SO per cent of my
delegation who are for Bialne, and when the c a
Tention meets Monday morning I shall vote with
those delegates for Mr. Blaine's nomination. I In
sist that il is the best ot gcjod politics lhat we
take care ol our state when it becomes apparent
that our candidate cannot tie nominated. I am a
free la :ce Irom now on and 1 shall i?ke care of
Ohio's Interest now as I have always done In the
past." F'oraker also said lhat he did not know
whether the rest of the Ohio delegation would
adhere lo Sherman or not.
JOHN M. LANOSTON'8 PREOtCTtOX.
John M. Langs ton, Virginia, the ex-minister to
Ilaytl, la quoted as having said la Chicago Wed
nesday that the nomination of Blaine now would
ruin the party, and that the candidate must either
be Sherman or a man named by Sherman. Said he:
"John Sherman holds the balance of power
among the candidates in the neld. We are ro
lng to hold fast to our faith In Sherman and
see what developments to-morrow bring forth.
The Sherman forces hold the key lo the situation,
and wiien the time comes they will dictate the
nominee. It will Onally be either between Blaine
and Shenuan, or a Bialne man and a man named
by Sherman. I was for Blaine at Cincinnati in
1K7?," continued Langs ion, warmly, "and won
over the bishops of the colored church for hltu.
notwithstanding his record on the lorce bllL But
Blaine cannot be nominated now without dis
honor, and if he should be prevailed upon to ac
cept it will be not only defeat to Bialne, but ship
wreck for the republican party."
AX IMPORTANT BLAINE CONFERENCE.
A Chicago special to the Philadelphia Prut Sat
urday night says: "There bad been one or two
conferences of Blaine's friends during the earlier
part of the day and between the sessions. Among
ihowe participating were Walker and Emmons
Biaine, the soas of the great republican leader
woo had been invited to participate In the discus!
sion ol the situation. They were very emphatic in
the opinion lhat no effort should be made In the
direction of nominating Mr. BLalne unUl everyihing
puMble had been done in behalf of other candidates'
thai w bile there were other candidates In the n-ld
with aujthiug like strength al tn-ir backs Mr
Bialne's nomination should not even be thought
of. This was in exact accordance with the views
which had been heul by Blaine's friends from the
first, and It Is pretty certain to guide their course
OI a. Hon to the last. It was for this reason that
Blaine's friends favored the adjournment. All the
opportunities of the candidates d.d uot seem to
be exhausted, and If the balloting bad gone on at
the afternoon session II Is quite certain that these
dispatches would to-night nave recorded Blaine's
nomination."

T. C. Crawford's special to the N. Y. World from
Edinburgh, June 20, says: American Bags have
been Bylng hew from ererr hotel awl public build
ing la honor of Mr. Blaine's arrival The Scottish
papers have given him much man attention than
the English ones. To-night Mr. Blaine's hotel
has the appearance of Amertoaa political head
quarters. Tula la occasioned by the presence
of a large company of eighty tourists from the
Boston conservatory of Music, who are to spend
Sunday here. Besides these there are also some
twenty-odd American business men, who happen
to be here on their summer holiday. Nearly all
of these men are from New England, and are with
out exception ardent admirers of Mr. Blaine. To
hear the talk in the hotel lobby to-bight one
might easily imagine himself back in America.
These wondering American citizens were gathered
In front of the note! this evening when Mr. Car
negie's coach drove up and surprised Mr. Blaine by
a hearty American cheer. This evening they aaKed
to be received, but Mr. Blaine excused himself. He
retired very soon to his rooms, where dinner was
served. Mr. Carnegie was overrun during the
evening by Scottish callers, who look up to mm as
the greatest man this country has produced in
modern times. He is perfectly jubilant about the
presidential campaign. At the same time tie has
talked unceasingly of bis regret that Mr. Blaine
was not formally in the lists as a candidate, and
has certainly used his whole power as host to make
Mr. Blaine a candidate.
An Blinburgh special to the New York Sun says
that Just as Mr. Blaine was leaving Melrose "an
excursion party of 600 arrived. The oracle of the
crowd had actually heard of Mr. Blaine, and
pointed him out as the President of the United
states, and three cneers were given for the Presi
dent accordingly. Mr. Carnegie was pointed out
by the same spokesman as tue greatest man of
America. 1 aui told that Mr. Carnegie has denied
the authenticity of the statement coming from
him, and which you printed, concerning Mr.
Blaine's willingness to accept the nomination if
he should get it. I am unwilling to believe, how
ever, that Mr. Carnegie can have denied what h#
actually wrote for publication, more especially us
1 have kept In my possession the statement in
question in his own handwriting."

TBBY rORM AM ASSOCIATION WHICH THIT SAT IS
NOT A TKCST.
About 200 gentlemen, representing from
two-thirds to three-quarters of tne wholesale
grocery business of the United States,
assembled In the Orand Central Hotel,
in Mew York, Saturday. Their object was to
organize a wholesale grocers' national association,
the main purpose of which will be to so regulate
the sugar market that in handling It a small
margin of proflt may be obtainable. It is claimed
by tue wholesale grocers that at present in hand
ling sugars they do so at a loss. The retail gro
cers complain of the same grievance.
F. W. Imhusch, of Milwaukee, called the meet
ing to order and stated the object of tl?e call. He
explalnod quite fully the need of concerted action, .
but wanted It perfectly understood that the title
trust could not be tolerated in referring to the ac
tion the wholesale grocers propose taking, al
though he said .hat a union would of course have
to be accomplished with the sugar runners.
The Name Sounded Familiar.
From the Boston Herald, June 23.
A little, brisk man, whose mustache seemed the
I largest part of him, stepped up to the clerk of the
Hotel Vendome early Thursday morning and en
I gaged apartments on the first floor front for his
j wife and daughter. He said that for reasons very
j satisfactory to himself he did not care to put his
I autograph on the hotel register, but that he would
leave ids name with the clerk. He said: "lam
M. \V. Fuller, of New York." Thccletk wrote it on
a card, which he laid on his desk. The gentleman
from the metropolis then retired. Little has since
been seen of lilin about the corridors. When the
niglit. clerk came on duty the day official gave him
an Idea of the tmsiness on hand, and said, incident
ally, that a man who wouldn't s.gn nis name was
upstairs, and the clerk added: "He said hr was
M. W. Fuller, of New York." "The name sounds
f iinlliar," said the other. In a little vhile the
??unknown" put in an appearance. He wore Ion.;
gray hatr, and his bright, strong face was soon
recognized as that of Mr. Melville W. Fuller, the
Chicago lawyer who has been nominated by
president Cleveland for Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court oi the United States* The secret
ot his "incog" mode or traveling was that he
dlln't want to be interviewed, lie had several
callers during the day, an.i made a tew shoit calls
himself. He and Mrs. Fuller, with Miss Fuller,
are on their way to Maine, wnere they are gom^
to keep cool for a while, while senators "swelter"
over the question of the continuation.

Knlghte of Pytbiae Membership.
Frcni the Omaha Bee, June 20.
The Rev. William E. copeland. of this city, is
likely to obtain national notoriety from his reso
lutions offered at the recent convention ot the
Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, to exclude
from the order all retailers of intoxicating liquors.
The explicit declaration Is made that grave doubt
exists as to the sound moral character of saloon
keepers and bartenders, and it Is proposed that
the Supreme Lodge shall require all subordinate
lodges to suspend or expel from membership per
sons engaged in those occupations, on the ground
that they are not of good moral character as con
templated by the constitution ot the order. The
matter was referred to a committee and will not
be acted upon until the next annual meeting of
the supreme Lodge, but It Is likely meanwhile to
create a good deal of agitation In the order. The
relative strength of tne saloon-keepers In the
organ.zation is understood to be so large that
their exclusion would have the effect to mate
rially weaken It, besides which they very likely
have a considerable number of sympathizers who
would withdraw with them from the order If the
proposed policy should prevalL

Denver Letter to Richmond Times.
The tlrst Mrs. Tabor is living quietly here In
Denver, and she Is now worth nearly a million. 1
can count up $000,000 worth of property whfch
she owus in Denver alone, and she has many
Investments outside. She Is a shrewd business
woman, and she speculates In stocks and mines
aud makes money. At one time she had a large
interest in telephone stock, and she has Interests
in a number ot mines, sue 1-. careful; knows a
goxl thing when she sees It, and says she is
making a fortune to use with Tabor when he has
lost his pile and comes back to her. She looks
upon Tabor's present marriage, I am told, as an
infatuation which Is bound to pass away, and does
not seem to think the present marriage gives Mrs.
Tabor No. 2 any right to hlin. The ilrst Mrs.
Tabor Is respected by Denver society, and she has
a good standing. She la a Christian woman and Is
very charitable.
A Cane of Human Ulandcre.
From the Loudon St. Stephen's Gazttte.
The awful death ot Mine. Paviakoff, one of the
most charming amongst all that bevy ot charming
Russian ladles who sometimes gladden the winters
ot Paris, has created a terrible shock among the
circles so lately embellished by her presence. The
unhappy lady left Pans but a short time ago on a
summer tour to Germany. While stepping from
the door ot her hotel at Berlin to gain her carriage
she let fall one or her bracelets close to the pave
ment. Stooping to pick It up she observed laugh
ingly that "on - of the horses belonging to the next
carriage had kissed her." Next day the unfortu
nate lady was taken ill with that most horrible
disease, glanders, and In a tew more days breath d
her last, in spite of the attendance of the flrst
physicians ot Berlin and every resource to be ob
tained by wealth or by the ceaseless vigilance of
friends.
Tbe Terrible Work of (be French Rifle.
From tbe Loudon Telotmph.
According to all accounts the new "Lebel rifle"
is a wondrous weapen, and is destined to do terri
ble things In the hands ot French soldiers. The
members of the Academy of Medicine, wishing to
diagnose the physical consequences ot wounds In
flicted by the bullets of the gun, recently had ex
periments made on twenty corps, probably those
of paupers whom nobody owned, or those of Ill
fated waifs picked up at the morgue. Tbe bodies
were placed at the ordinary firing distances, from
200 yards up to a miie or so. The bullets whizzed
through the bones and pierced them without
fracturing them, as Is done by the bullets ot the
"uras rifle." The wounds, if they may be called
so, which were inflicted were small In their punc
tures, and consequently very dangerous and diffi
cult to heal. Injuries inflicted at short distances
were so considerable thai, lu the opinion of the
surgeons, they would be almost Incurable. At the
longest range?2,000 motors?a poplar tree was
hit, but the bullet did not go through the tree. At
1,200 meters the tree was pierced through and
through. The discharges of the rifle are unac
compained by smoke, and the reports are compara
tively feeble.
Killed by Lightning.

A terrific storm passed over Wyoming Valley,
Pa., at noon Saturday. In the vicinity ot Plttston
buildings were struck by lightning on every side
and great damage was done. The rainfall was
tremendous, and large tracts throughout the coun
try districts were flooded. A man named Brady, a
miner, while returning from work was struck by
lightning and instantly killed. A second storm
visitedpulsion at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. It
dashed In all the windows of J. E. Patterson's fac
tory, blew lumber plies away several hundred foet,
and flooded the factory, doing damage amounting
to $1,000. Frelgut cant on tuo Leaigh Valley, Krle
and Wyoming and Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Railroads were unroofed. The wires of
the electric-light plant, telegraph, and telephone
companies were blown down ana tbe town was
In darkness Saturday night. The lightning went
down the wire rope of the Pennsylvania Coal Co.'a
shaft and shattered the carriage la the pit at the
bottom, doing over $1,200 damage to tbe shaft and
winding gear. It aiso descended the twin coi
lertes, knocking a miner over. Hall-stone*, three
quarters of an Inch In diameter, fell, and many
windows throughout the place were broken.
