Ter Worlds Temperance Convention
Yves held at Metropolitan Hail. New
York, persuant to adjournment. Un-
finished business was taken up; and
after being hammered at, was torn to
pieces as will be seen in the sequel
Mr.. Wendell did not like the work OF
the business committee" and objected
to its being received-mingled Kisses
and applause followed Mr.. Wenders
remarks. The confusion was attribu-
ted by some of the indictments to the
presence of the Rev. Miss A. Brown,
and some of the delegates were in fav-
or Of asking her to withdraw. DR..
Snodgrass rose and said, he would
stand by-support and even defend
the Rev. Miss Brown from any indigni-
ty. c. Kenner, Of Baltimore objected
to the young lady's speaking, but was
forced to take his seat from the cry OF
boots :" ''boots"!! stake him out."
The chair" decided that it was in or
| der for Mr.. Dow to speak, there wasan
appeal from the chair, after which the
following rich series Of ''tableaus" were
represented:
The decision Of the Chair was final
" sustained, and the heroine arose in
triumph and began to speak. Secre-
tary Dufield cried out Il won't sub
nit to it / resign my post as Secre-
tary." Mr.. Hunt, Of Pennsylvania,
voted to sustain the decision Of the
Chair, but somehow or other didn't
understand the right Of that, | was go
ing to say lady, speaking This was
the unkindest cut of all.
Snodgrass becomes fiery. He bris-
ties up to Mr.. Hunt and runs his hands
into his pockets, as if feeling for PTS
tolls, swings his arms, and tries to look
ike fighting man.
Mr.. Hunt, a gray-haired man, didn't
look at all frightened.
Snodgrass demanded that Mr.. Hunt
should take back that insulting re-
mark. He said he stood here as Miss
Browns protector.
Mr.. Hunt refused to take it back.
DR.. Snodgrass finally concluded he
wouldn't fight.
Voice in the crowd, SIS this a tenn
perance convention ?" mo, no." care
YOU all drunk ?" "Yes, yes" GIVE
us some old Jamaica" Il take brandy
straight"
The Chair now thinks it his turn to
speak. and breaks in with--Mrs. Brown
has the floor.
| Mrs. +. attempted to speak, but was
prevented by the noise. Gen. Carey
of Ohio, moved that no woman be al
lowed to speak. The Chair decided
the motion out Of order. An appea
was taken, but the decision was sus
tanned. A gentleman arose and mild
" requested Mrs. B. to yield him tn
floor for moment. She replied, will
emphasis, Il will yield the floor to NJ
man." This was followed by shouts o
approval and admiration. Mr.. Chal
mers, of Philadelphia, called upon hi
delegation to leave the house. Tn
Chair here ordered all to leave tn
house.
Now was the richest scene Of all
Men appealed to the Chair-the Chat
wouldn't listen. There were stars il
readiness, and the Chair ordered
the policemen to do their duty Me-
grew fierce and wouldn't 60. TIL
officers took such by the throat an
walked them off
The chair gave notice that whe

door.
About half past twelve o'clock, tn
: roll was called. and members began t
