the rounds of the newspapers. Sunnyside

his house, a few days since. 1t came out, by
his wife's confession after her arrest on sus-

another, and wished to marry him, and for
one hundred dollars she hired his brother to
do the deed of death by which she might be
set free. The two men were arrested, and the
one who was to marry the widow, confessed
to paying his brother one hundred dollars for
shooting Robinson. The people dragged the
criminals from the Jail to the woods. and there

The DISASTER AT EAsToN, PA--There was
Tuesday. A small steamboat, named the
Alfred Thomas, going on the Delaware river
from Easton to Belvidere, had an explosion of
her boiler, which tore her to pieces and flung
her passengers into the river. Ten or twelve
were killed and many wounded. Here is one
account of the disaster :-"At eleven o'clock
the steamer started and made her way up the
river against a swift current, having on board
about hundred men. AT the bridge she
stopped, when a number got off, leaving about
forty persons on board. TIE steamer then
continued her trip up the river, and on ar
irving at the falls, short distance above
the bridge, she was moored for a short
time. When all was ready to start again, the
boiler exploded with terrible crash, the pieces
flying in every direction, and the boat becom-
ing in an instant complete wreck. Some of
the passengers were thrown fifty feet into the
air, others were blown off into the water and
slightly injured, and others were dreadfully
manged. The sight upon the land was truly
heart-rendng. The torn limbs of the poor
sufferers, and the presence of those who were
in search of friends supposed to be among the
dead, formed sight to make the stoutest heart
feel sad. The physicians of the borough
fastened to the assistance of the sufferers, and
did all in their power to alleviate their suffer-
ings."

THURSDAY. MARCH 8. 1890.

THE CoNvENr1oN, yesterday, was much
larger than many supposed it would be. Bos-
ton, and the eastern counties, were generally
well represented, but many of the western
towns had no delegates present. The Sew
ard feeling was predominant among the dele
gates from every county, and any mention of
Mr.. Stewards name elected demonstrations
that could not be mistaken. 1t is understood
that all the delegates at large elected are
friendly to him. If Mr.. Andrew is not
Seward man, it will be difficult to find one
anywhere. He received every vote but SIX
Mr.. Kellogg is very earnestly for MIR. Seward
The vote for Mr.. Boutwell, would hsve been,
like that of Mr. Andrew, nearly unanimous If
a portion of the delegates had not been in
doubt in regard to his position. lie is a per-
soual friend of Gov. Banks, but, at the Chicago
convention. those who wish to nominate Mr..
Seward, or any other earnest republican, will
have his aid Mr.. Comins declared to many
of the delegates that he is for Mr. Seward
and some of his most active friends declared
to us that 'Mr. Seward is his first choice for
the presidency" Without such declarations
he could not have been elected.
1t will be noticed that Mr.. Foster of this
city received a majority of all the votes cast,
and vet lacked four votes of an election His
name was presented unanimously by the Wor-
cester county delegates, who held a meeting
after the arrival of the morning trains. If
there had been little more time for prepara-
ton, he would have been elected by large
majority. AS it was, he came near beating
Mr.. Comins, who has canvassed diligently for
the election for more than two months. Mr.
Foster would have done excellent service at
Chicago, and five more votes for him would
have made the ticket great deal stronger.
AS the matter stands, Boston has three OF the
delegates, for Mr. Comins is substantially
Boston man, although his residence is in Rox-
bury, and so is Mr.. Boutwell,, who is about to
open a law office there, Probably that smart
village would not object to having the whole.

WIscoNsIN.--The following resolution is
the one briefly referred to by telegraph, which
was presented in the recent republican state
convention, and unanimously adopted -
Resolved, That the delegates elect from
this state to the national convention to be held
ut Chicago be requested to present to that
body, as the first choice Of the people of Wis
consin, for the Office of president of the United
States, the name of WILLIAM ii. SEWARD of
New York-that his statesmanlike qualities,
his long, faithful, and eminent public services,
his unblemished character, his eloquent and
untiring advocacy of equal rights and free
principles, his devotion to the best interests of
the republic, his loyalty to the constitution and
the Unon--point him out as emphatically the
man for the times, who will most surely lead
the republican hosts to victory, and establish
upon a permanent basis the ascendancy of re-
publican principles, and the glory and prosper
ity of the whole country.

REpUBLIcAN STATE CONVENTION.

The state convention of the republican party
of Massachusetts was held at Mechanics
Hall, yesterday, for the election Of four dele
gates at large to the republican national con-
vention. The meeting was preceded by very
lively canvassing on the part of the friends Of
the various candidates, and, with the excep-
ton of Messrs. Andrew and Boutwell, about
whom there appeared to be little dispute, the
contest promised to be very close. The con-
vention was large and highly respectable,
comprising many of the leading and active
m embers of the party. Hon. VIM Clafiin,
chairman of the state committee, took the
chair at twelve o'clock, and called the conyen-
tion to order. On the motion of Mr.. Osgood
of Salem, Hon. CHARLES B. HALL of Boston
was appointed president pro tem., and, on mo-
ton of Mr.. Cochrane of Metheun, Mr.. George
W. Mcclellan of Cambridge was chosen secre-
tary pro tenn. The committee on credentials,
Francis w. Bird of Walpole, chairman, re-
ported at later period of the convention that
one hundred and seventy-seven towns were
represented by upward of nine hundred dele
gates. DIR. James W. Stone of Boston was
appointed chairman of the committee of fl
nance. Joseph M. Day of Barnstabe made
an Intellectual effort to have a committee of
one from each congressional district appointed
to report series of resolutions for the consid-
er alton of the convention The point of order
was raised and sustained that the subject
should be deferred till after the permanent or
ganization. John q. Goodrich of Stockbridge
requested that, in view of the fact that he was
already member of the national committee,
and as such was entitled to certain influence
in its counsels, his name might be withdrawn
from the list of candidates for delegates at
large. The committee on the permanent or
ganization of the convention, Henry L.
Pierce of Dorchester, chairman, submitted the
following list of officers -
