Gkaito.v, W. Va., August 12.?Th( folly of holding i\ convention of nny siz; in a town with inadequate accommoda tions is emphasized hereto-night, when, with perhaps a third of the delegates tc to-morrow's convention iu, the cry al the hotels is no room. None of the pol itieiaus from the Wheeling end have arrived yet, except Mr. Riley, George Uinstead, of Wetzel, and the Lewis county delegation are the only other First district people here to-night, while St. Clair, of Fayette, Chilton, of Charleston, and a good many other south-endere came in this evening. A short horse is soon curried, and the convention to-morrow will not last long, Of course the usual denouncing and endorsing must bo done, but the papers foi it are already prepared.

The convention will be callet to order shortly after the forenoon traint are 111 t>y unairman luiey, wuo wu; name Hon. William H. Travis, of Jeffer son county, as the temporary chairman All the indications are that if any ballo is taken for the nomination for Supremi Judge it will be a mere matter of form as Lucas will be nominated practically without opposition, though Tyler couri ty instructed her delegat03 for Judgi James G. Armstrong, of Hampshire coun ty. It ia said hero to-night that his nami was ueed without his authority and tha he is not an aspirant. Judge Morelam and Judge Ico are both named, but thi is aleo said to bo against their owi wishes. The fact that there is a sentiment o opposition to Lucas is undenied, bu it cannot eo far find anything to crystal ize on. The nominee must, of couret bo a Second district man, as Judg Urannon is from the Firet, Judge Snyde from the Third aud Judge English froc thu Fourth so that the sutgestione Judge Mun Jackson's name was ver thoughtlees, as was also the rumor thi Judge Johnson, of Mercer, would b named in the convention.

He billed for i'arkersburg Thursday an may arrive hero to-morrow afternoo aud stay long enough to, address tb convention. 1'I.liAS FOR IIAKMONY. Senator Faulkner's speech was a cha acteristic one, without anything new i it. "Czar llecd," "tho Republican d monetization of silver," and the McKii ley bill were tha themes. Tho Senat< was a little hoarse, and cut his speec thia an,.nItnK The Senator wound up with bo earne a plea for harmony to-morrow that aroused a suspicion that something eli was expected. He wa9 followed by W. St! Clair, who devoted his who time to emphasizing the need for ha mony and abusing'"the nipgers," whoi he eaid, ho would not call men, but an mala. "J I," said he, "the white inteli gent people of the Stato were to ele the ticket thi* Mil the Republicai would uot mate a nomination." U twenty minute speech waa alternate employed in such talk as this about tl colored votera and in urging Democrc to forgot faction, accept the nominate made to-morrow and elect tho xjo/fline Will Chilton, of Charleston, who hi been decoyed to thp hall with sou difliculty by Col. John T. McGraw, he came forward and made a pleasa enough spocch. He said that tl Democrats hud bcon no badly scared 'AS that they would bo harder to wb this year thau over before. Ho al pled /or harmony, but, as Mr. P. Hen is allcgod to have once exclaimed, "Ge tlemeu may cry peace, peace, but the ia no pcaco."

Ono oi the officials said to a re>orter: "\Ve are just aa strong now as vft were on Friday night. Tbe railroad iflicials have, been giving out false re>orts to the newspapers in order to disiourage the strikers.

STiUKfclW CU.NFIUENT That They will Wlu?Tlio lleport of the Press Committee?Contemplated Move. New York, August 12.?Notwithitanding the statements of tho officials )f the New York Central road, that the jackbone of the strike is broken and the ipparent belief of the public in these issertions, the strikers themselves are itill confident that the crisis has not yet jeen reached, and that before the week s over tho road will be tied up tight as tdrura. This belief was strengthened jy the speeches made at the meeting )[ the strikers which was held (his afterloon. Master Workman Lee spoke, and aferward, when aBked about the letter vhich appeared in a morning paper, ind. which he was accused ol havi,ug vritten to General Manager Toucey, he eplied: "It's a forgery. I did not write t. I am not a double dealer, or a traitor; md would'not write such a document. The situation is so Berioua that 'the rai!oad ofliciala are resorting to every neans to discredit me in the eyes of my ellow workmen." "Whydid you tell tho reporters that he liremen would go out that night?" le was asked. "Because I believed they would. I nado tbe statement in good faith. I lad reason to believe that the liremen n the Grand Central depot would go >ut." "Mr. Holland is not in entire control )f the strike," he said, in response to mother query. "We (meaningthe Dis.rict Assemblies) have full power to conluct the strike as we think proper. We ire on very friendly terms with the ngineers, and I still believe they uill iti-ike." By thiB time the meeting had adourned, and the press committee had greed on what information they would ;ive to tho reporters. Reports had been -ead, showing that only one or two dejertionB from tho ranks of the striken* jad taken place so far, and not one of hese had been in the Grand Central ;ard. ReportB from towns all along the line itatedthat the strikers are as hopeful as hey were on Friday night. "They canlot instruct the greau hands," said a prominent member, "to run tho trains n less than six months.. Even tbe mperintendentB don't understand the basinets. This running 61 traius on schedule time is all bosh. I tell you, aot a train has been switched yet; they ire sent out as they come out without regard to order." The press committee said that a vote of confidence in Mr. Lee had been passed. "We have every confidence in our officerp," waa tho statement wliich supplemented this, "and we will stand by thein through thick and thin." The strikers will meet agaiu to-morrow, and hear reports from the engineers. They evidently believa that the latter will support them. Subsequently Mr. Lee said: "The General Executive Board alone has the power to order out at one time the men | on the roads throughout tho country, nml nnv #nnnr?nt. flalnm In fnF?inn elusions is because wo are now waiting the endoraement of that body, which rneeta to-morrow in Detroit." Mr. Lee stated that no conference bad been had with Mr. Powderly. At present Lee is the one that is directing all the movements of the strikers hero. THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL Of the Knight* of Labor 8nj? that Dupew vrun Deposed for a l'urpoie. Philadelphia, AuguBt 12.?The Journal of the Knights of Labor will say this week: "It was generally believed that if there was any railway upon which a good understanding existed between the company and its employes, it was the New York Central and other roads under the management of the company of which Mr. Ctiauncey M. Drpew is President. Nor was this belief alone without foundation, but unfortunately the active management of the Hues passed into the bonds of Mr. \Yebb, the Vice President, a man, the very opposito of 34r. Bepew in hia ideas of the relation ship which should exist between eui ployers and employed. Ho began ti ayd teuiatic attack upon organizitionH, aim ing first at tho Knights of Labor. Hi ? discharged tho men who had been tin ' longest in tlio service of tho company m well as tho moat prominent iu Hit rankn of organized lubor. This was dont with tho intention of aroneing thoii passions and bringing on an immediate 'i utrike ut a tlmo when business waa dull. On account of tho mhlsndiug reports x that have been mado public concerning tho Now York Central and itaomployeB, Oibtrict Assembly 1M0 present# tho tol lowing explanation of tho situation: Last November tho men employed In tho train sorvico of tho New York Cen* tail presented a petition to thecompany I asking for pay iu excess of twelvo hours per day at tho rato of wages received ?t 1 the tlmo. Tho mfeu were willing to peri form twelvo hours labor for one d&yV ; pay, Tho company in responso, intend into an agreement to pay tho men for over tlmo in oxcosb of twelve hours, at a Blight reduction in rate 1 of wages paid by tho day, which agreement was signod by tho Preeident of tho road, Chauncey M. Depow, aud was lived up to for two mouths, and then broken by tho company. Whoa h committeo of employes waited on the ofiicers of the corporation at thai time, to iuquiro as to why its acreement was not lived up to, thoy were coolly iuformed that the agreement was obnoxious to the company, inasmuch as they (tfie ofllcialu) did not realize at the time of making, the large amount of money it was going to cost. Another agreement made by tho corporation with its employes was also ruthlessly broken. The real reason for tho discharge of the men seems to lie in the fact thoy are Union men. The article concludes with charges of collusion between Webb aud Dep.ew to clear out labor Knights, tho charge being based upon tho (act that Mr. Depew went abroad this summer. It is also said that the Knights of Labor, the engineers and liremen will be next,attacked. All ^Julet ntSjriiCMBO. : Syracuse, n. Y., August 12.?Captain Foley, in chargo of Pinkerton men at Ea:t Syracuse, declares the strike ended. No Btriker has appeared there since the yard was cleared yesterday afternoon.

All 1 trains are runuing on usual time. i At ltuffitlu. 1 Buffalo, n. Y., August 12.?The New York Central railway authorities \ in Buflalo aro more confident than ever i that the strike, as far as this end of the 1 road is concerned, is practically over. J This view of the situation was borne out J by the fact that such trains as bad arrived up to 10:30 o'clock were not any 1 later than they might be at anv time 11 when there was no strike in progress. 1 i Troop* Ordered Homo. .

St. Louis, August 12.?Every conductor.on the Louisville, St. Louis & Texas road has been dismissed and the places of the discharged men have been filled by promoting freight conductors. It is 1 not known definitely whether the freight conductors are working at lower wages than the men whoso places they have taken, but it is not generally believed that economy was the motive for the change. No explanation has, however, been made by the oillcials of the line. The Machinists Duumudn. PrTTSiiuaan, Pd., August 12.?All but eleven of the employing machinists have conceded the demands of the men for nine hours work at ten houro pay. The big Westinghou8e firms aro mill obstinate. It is now certain the Btrike in Pittsburgh is but a starter for similar moves for shorter hours all over the country. If the men are successful, the next movo will be in one cf the great eastern cities. 1ZETA'S PROCLAMATION. Salvadorana Ordered to Hold Their Freacnt l'UMllUUH. San Salvador, August 12.?Provisional President Eseta has issued a proclamation to tlio San Salvador troops on the frontiers of Gautemala and on Gautemalan territory, ordering them to maintain their present positions, and not to act on the aggressive toward the Gautemalan troops unless attacked by the latter. Should the Guatemalan troops open hostilities toward those of San Salvador, the latter are to push their way to the Guatemalan capital. Ezeta has sent fresh supplies and clothing to the troops on the battlefield and large voluuteer suh-criptinns of money have been poured into the San Salvador treasury. Only for the presence of a few more soldiers than are ordinarily seen the city has resumed its wonted aspect. Preparations on a great teale are being made here for the reception of the United States Minister, to take place as soon as the United States Government shall have recognized Ezeta's provisional rule. The latter step on the pent of the United States is momentarily expected by all well informed people here. 31 IN 1ST hit SOBRAI/d FATE. Shot by Soldiers In the Vnultn oft" a Guatemala i'rlioii.

These friends of Sobral report that the Minister upon being discovered in alleged treachery toward Barrillas was hurried off to prison and condemned without trial to be shot. This coming to the ears of the Spanish Minister Resident in Gautemala, he interceded with Barrillas, who agreed to spare Sobral's life, but at once convened a court martial, which condemned him to be shot. Sobral was returned to the penitentiary and placed in solitary confinement to await the President's pleasure.

' A COMFORTABLE HOME Una Hoc 11 Provided lor I ho Wrctchcs. There aro Many Conflict in;; Stories as to tho Orljjlu of the Awful Disease. Tracadib, N. JJ,( August 12.?One has not to go far away from Moloknl to witness that awful blight of tho flesh, lq>roay. Here, in this out-of-the-way spot in j New Brunswick, on tho shorea of tho great ocean, aro BightH to mako tho bouI nl?U liaro are literally immured a score or more of wretches touched with a foulness which, for no fault of their own, excludes them fortyvpr from the world. It is truo ttioy are treated with more consideration than the lentfro of Scriptural timen, who dwelt in tiioopensepulchna about Jerusalem, subsisting on the fragments that accidental charity dropjv d on the ground in the wilderness. Ni'r is heard from them tbat terrible cr.v: "Unclean! Unclean 1" No, the lot of theso unfortunates is made as endural lo as tho ghastly malady of which they aio the victims will permit. Tho Dominion Government has erected a commodious hoepital on tho banko of tho Tracadio river, overlooking tho gulf into which the slender stream falls. It would bo difficult to find anywhere a lovelier combination of "streamlet and hill" than this. Would that one could forget tho people's fate of this place. All that, makes life worth enduringhaB been withdrawn from them. Nevertheless it is pleasant to know that their lot is more endurable than it was yeats ago. When tho lazaretto was established, about -15 years ago/tho poor creatures were lassoed like beasts, drawn by ropeB and beaten with long poles io forco them toward tho lnzaretto. No one would touch them. They were TORN FROM THEIK FAMILIES, * although in many cases they wore tho sole support of wife and children. Ti * uuwmi^ro nuil'u mull CUUBlllUlCU UlO llOB* pital were filthy and uncared for. Males and females were cast together, and tho contamination of immorality was added to the other horrors. Their food was laid down on the ground, to be eaten when ind where they chose. To the people in the surrounding country the name "lazaretto" was clothed with all the horrors of Gehenna. Little wonder, then, that when a member of a family was attacked with tho loathsome diseaso his relatives took every precaution to conceal hie condition. It may well be supposed that this secrecy tended to spread the disease. , The condition of tho lazeretto at length became such a public scandal that in 1SG8 it reached the ears of Sister St. John (Mies Viger) of the Hotel Dieu, Montreal. She volunteered to go and care for these poor outcasts. Other volunteers were asked for, and every sister in tho house tendered her servicer. Seven were chosen, instructed in tho treatment of leprosy and started on their mission, compared with which tho task of cleaning tho Augean stables was a light one. They found the lazaretto a' veritable abode of the damned, but tho Bisters cheerfully set to work and in a few years everything was transformed. Tho Provincial Government of New Brunswick, glad to have the scandal removed, provided all necessary funds for meeting the expenses of the institution. From being a loathsome charnel house it was transformed into a home. The inmates and the house itself are kept scrupulously cleun, hired attendants do all the manual wotk, tho inmates have no tasks imposed on them, their path to death is smoothed and relieved ot cares, they have a small farm with which they may do what thev choose, and they have boats in which they may fish and trawl or simply idle away the summer days. ORIGIN OF THE I)IIEAI)KUL DISEASE. As to the origin of the disease, eorao llnd it in the deterioration caused by generationsof inter-marriage. The county of Gloucester, which ia tho seat of tho disease, was settled by Acadian French, Bhut out from the outside world by their dilTerent tongue. The little community married and intermarried until nearly eveiybody was related to everybody else. The storv is that 140 vonra ??? ?. k?-i_ > from tho count of Syria waa wrecked in tho Gulf of St. Lawrence, just off tho shorea of Gloucester county. Tho rescued tailors stayed for some considerable time with "the Acadiaus, and from themthe latter contracted the liret case of leprosy. Another version has it that a stranger hailing from Quebec wan ofllicted with the horrible disease, and leit it aa a legacy to hi* entertainer?, while Btill another Btory is that the dieease was contracted through aomo of tho people eating putrid iiah. The disease iB called leprosy, although it is probable that it ia in many refpecta different from the leprosy which whitened tho skina and rotted the bones of the HebrewH of old. But this is undoubtedly a malady of tho same nature. It has been called by medical men Greek elephant iasia. A recent uuthority thua describee its symptoms: THtf KIK8T INDICATIONS J "Tho firBt indication of tho disease ia tho appearance of tiny tubercle# on the skin, and especially on tho face. These increase from the bizo of a pin-head to that of a hazel nut. The nose and lips become thickened anil awollon, ao that the mouth iB distorted and tho featuren unrecognizable. The eyes droop, and eyolasbeB and eyebrows, nud aometimea the hair drop out. After a time tho tubercles break, ulcerate aud discharge, tho disease even attacking the cartilage and bone, and piece by piece jointa and flesh fall ofl until death ^ives the sufferer freedom from his terrible lot." The aversee duration of tho disease from the time the first ayrnptoma are discovered until death ensues ia about ten or twelve years; Tfce lazaretto was taken in charge by tho Dominion Government in and Dr. Smith was placed in charge, who keeps a sharp lookout for infected/persona. Ho is un? dtcided aato whether the disease id incurable. and dipehnrwo/i viir iuuu jrum the institution two years ego who him bad no return of the malady. "I do not. regard the case as permanently cured," ho said, "and still hold him under watch. The disease haa been dying out in Tracadie, its original seat, hut out ol the live new cases taken in last year lone waB from Capo Breton and four I from the parishes which adjoin Tracadie. I have traced a new focus to the disease, situated between Shippegan and CaraI quet, and from this center I have traced it to other settlements." The act which gives to Doctor authority to segregate patients does not apply to t&e new hotbedB of the diBease,but he feela that as soon as ho possesses that i power he will be ablo to stamp it out enI tirely. | 1 Tho Crew Were Have it. | San Diego, Oal., Augutt 12.?Newa. has been received hero that tbo schoonr r Alice D, which left here two montlia ; ago, has been wrecked in the Gulf of 1 California.
