those who have favored us
with their patronage, and who

interest to buyers during this
excessive hot weather is that

A horse attached to a carriage contain
ing Mrs J. Norris Robinson and her two
daughters, Natalie and Marguerite, ran
away yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock,
throwing the occupants of the carriage out
and Natalie, the oldest daughter, was dan
gerously injured. Mr, and Mrs. Robinson,
with the two children, had driven to the
Delaware Field Club grounds In the after
noon Mr. Robinson went Into the grounds
while Mrs. Robinson, with the little girls,
decided to tak ■ a short ride. They drove
op the Concord pike beyond the toll gate.
When they turned back the horse
several times started to run, but was
fairly managed by Mrs. Robinson. Di
rectly she thought she heard an engine
whistle and urged tbeanimal, which started
at a swift gait and soon became un
controllable. A passer-by seeing the
difficulty, threw his coat Into the horses'
face to stop him. but this soared him more
than ever, and he cams down the turnpike
at full gait.
At Market St. and Vandever Ave. the
oarriage collided with an electric wire pole
and was overturned. Mrs. Robinson and
the children were thrown Into the street,
Natalie receiving a wound on the heed.
Mrs. Robinson and the children were at
once taken Into Dr. Chadwlck'e office near
by and attended to Mr. Robinson and J.T.
Hullin, Mrs. Robinson'* father, wore sum

them to their horns at 1129 West St. The
full extent of Mrs Robinson'* lojurle* are
not known, although they are not thought
to be dangerous Marguerite received a
slight scratch. Natalie was Injured the
worst After the accident she remained
perfectly coneclotis and, until she got home
recognized her friends. But when once
there she suddenly took a torn for the
worse, which was at first expected to prove
fatal by Dr. Frants and Maull, who were
then In attendance. The child be

Chicago, June 88.—The convention met
at 7.15 last evening. Chairman Estee pre
siding. The delegates had fairly gathered
when Chanoey M. Depew of New York In
a few sentences withdrew his name from
the list of candidates. Hastings of Penn
syivanii then on the part of the chairman,
Jones, moved to adjourn until 10 o'clock
this morning. This move was received
with loud cheers and counter cheers. It
was a critical moment in the bottle—n tac
tical move for Sherman—but the Allison
men, with the Gresham contingent, came
to the rescue. The vote which followed
was 6S5 ayes and 282 nays. Delaware
voted six votes in the negative. The
motion prevailed.
Immediately after the adjournment Ia£
night the audience set up a wild yell for
Bob logersoll, in which a majority of the
delegates joined. Colonel logersoll was re
ceived with enthusiastic cheers. Ha ad
dressed the meeting :
"I am a Republican. I belong to the
greatest, to the grandest party ever organ
ized by the human race. (Applause ) I
belong to that great party that is In favor
of giving to every human being equal
right* with every other, and the mission of
the Republican party Is not ended until
the Republic shall b< civilized. (Cheers I
The mission ot that party is not ended until
every mao beneath her flag not only has
the right to cast his vote in peace,but to have
it counted honestly and in peace. (Cheers )
"I am a Republican becaase that party
is pledged to the protection of American
labor. (Cheers ] The country that raises
raw material and sells It es such will always
bo ignorant and poor. (Cheers ] Why*
The labor to raise raw matt rial is ignorant
labor, but the moment the raw material is
worked into fabric, fashioned Into beauti
ful shapes, that requires intelligence, conse
quently the greater number of industrie»
have In the United States the wore
intelligent our population wltl bs. [Cheers.]
Another reason: Ordinary labor is always
cheap. Labor commands a price iu propar
tion that the mind is mixed with muscio;
in the proportion that thought is mingled
with effort. [Cheer* ( The people who
want os to raise raw material for England
— England to manutooture—simply vote
for the poverty and ignorant;» of America,
[cheers], and for the wealth and Intelligenco
of Great Britain." [Cheer*.]
I am in favor of the protection of Amerl
Industrie* because it will develop
American brain, because upder that system
we can raise the most beautiful things be
neath the stars, great men and greet
women. (Tumultuous applause ) Where
men pursue but one industry they become
stupid. Where the industries are diversi
fied every part of the brain Is developed,
and we have use for every aptitude, for
every talent and for every kind of genius.
I am in favor of American protection,
because under that policy we have become
the richest nation on the globe. (Cheers.)
"I am In favor of that policy because we
are the most ingenious people who ever
lived, because on the average we have
sense than any people that I have
happened to meet, [Applause] I

question is, who is tbe most available man

The great question is, and that question
must be settled at tbe polls and not in tbe

General Political New*.
The Administration has been unfortunate
in its Alaskan effleers. The collector at
Sitka and bis subordinate* are charged with
cheating the government out of $10,000.
The organs ot the free trade party are
laboring hard to convince the workingmen
that the high wage* guaranteed by the
protective party are a delusion, but with
iittle effect. They offer cheaper commodl
tiea for starvation wages, hut who is will
ing to make a bargain of this sorti It is
too one-sided.
When the convention opened last niglt
it had been agreed that 61 of the New York
delegation should swing to Harrison after
Dr pew's withdrawal, and the Wisconsin
delegation was to follow suit. This would
have given Harrison nearly 100 more
voters, and it was calculated that the effect
of the changes would bring about bis nomi
nation. The probable action of the Now
Yorkers became generally known, and the
smart Pennsylvanians, beaded by Senator
Quay, who are backing Hherman, deter
mined to check it if poasiblr. Accordingly,
the word was passed around, a motion was
made to adjourn, and all the men, except
the supporters of Harrison, voting for It,
it was accepted by a vote of two to one.
This would have been avoided If the New
Yorkers had not been so indiscreet In talk
ing about (heir plans.
Last night, Mr. Depew came In looking
pale and concerned as one npon whom bad
developed a solemn duty. The pounding
of the gavel had hardly ceased when Mr.
Depew arose. There was hearty cheering

A few years ago Ju dge Thurman, some
times called the old Roman, was taking a
short cut to his home by walking across a
pasture. As some ot oar reader* may
know, he usually carries a red bandanna
pocket handkerchief. While using it on
this occasion it attracted the attention ot a
bull in the pasture, which Immediately
charged the grand old Roman with his
head down and his tail ap. The judge
looked at him calmly over bis spectacles
till he cam* to within a few feet, when be
emptied the contents of his snuff box in the
beast's face, which caused him to stop and
tarn suddenly. As be did so the judge
tied the rtd bandanna to his tail, blew bis
justly celebrated Roman snort with a re

stampeded the bull and latt the Judge Iu
possession of the field. A man capable of
such noble actions cnidn't make a vary

THE FOURTH H ALLOT
Sherman Lead* After All— Harri»
• on Second.
Chicago, June 23.—The Tribune say*
this morning that the anti Harrison force*
have combined to prevent hi* nomination.
It i* admitted that be Is in the lead. It !•
thought that after a ballot or two the con
vention will adjourn to allow the Bherman
and Gresham forces to consolidate on some
other man, probably Allison.
The Independent New* still pretends to
see Blaine and Harrison or Blaine and
Alger. But both Alger and Allison gained
during the night and it is not likely either
would deal tar second place. The Herald
says that the Allison and Alger men are
very hopeful. I'eonyslvauia is expected to
go to the former in the event ot Hherman'«
withdrawal,
The convention was called to order at
eight minutes aftsr 10 'o'clock, with War
ner Miller in the chair. It Is rumored all
over the bouse that an adjournment will
follow the second ballot with a view of
beating Harrison, who has the field
against him now. At half past 10 the roll
call for the fourth ballot was ordered.
Major McKinley arose and requested
that no more votes be cast tor him, when a
delegaie from Connecticut had voted again
for him. Indiana voted solidly for
Harrison and Illinois gave him three votes.
The other 41 adhered to Gresham. Ken
tucky was wildly ebsered when one vote
was cast for Frederick Douglass, and again
when another was put down for Foraker.
A mighty shout went up as New York
plunged 56 votes into the Harrison pot, and
another followed as 8 went to Blaine;
Alger got 3, and Hherman and Allison 1
each.
Wiaconeln raised another shoot
when 20 votes were given to Harrison. It
gave Gresham 2.
"The fourth ballot- Is as follows: Alger,
136; Harrison, 217; Allison, 83; Blaine, 42;
Hherman, 230; Gresham, 63; McKiuley, It;
Lincoln, 1, Douglass, X; Foraker, 1.

Weather.
Delaware and Maryland, 1 p. m. :
Slightly cooler, partly oloody to fair
weather; ,'rash southerly winds.
Tbe New York Herald weather forecasts:
A small "oool wave" has appeared in the
Northwest, moving east. The Northwest
ern depression continues near Lake Super
ior. It will probably advance slowly to
tbe eastward, with rain in the lake region
and tha Northwest. Temperature was
nearly stationary in the United Stales yes
terday. The chief minima were 42 at
Fort Assiniboine, M.T. ; 46 at Helena and
48 at Cbeyence ; the chief maxima were 60
at Philadelphia, 61 at Albany and 96 •
Columbus. In the Middle States and Naw
England, fair to partly olrndy weather and
fresh to brisk southwesterly winds will pre
vail, with local raios near tha coast*.
On Sunday In this section and In New
England eligntly cooler, partly cloudy to
fair weather and fresh to brisk southerly
to southwesterly winds will probably pre
vail, and on Monday, fair to partly cloudy
weather, with slight thermal changes, fol
lowed by local rains.
To-day and to-morrow will probably be
less sultry, and we may hope for a slight
fall of temperature. A* the intensity of
summer after the eolstioe depends mainly
upon the accumulation of beat in the soli,
the protracted spell of bot weather which
has marked June is an augury that tbs
season will be warmer than the average in"
almost all parts of the Dnltod B'ates. Thl*
will be favorable for the crops if, as i*
likely, the rainfall ot July and August is
less scanty than that of the current month.
