$500 .nO auJournment Of the Republican con-
~ventions the City Executive Committee. have
been kept busy in settling the disputes In the
Second Congressional and the First Legislative
districts, and in the case of the City Commits
sioner. The troubles arising In these instances
are familiar to our readers, and for a time 1t
seemed probable a split ticket would be run In
each case at the coming October election, How
ever, the friends of all parties succeeded In get
ting the candidates to submit their claims to the
City Executive Committee, whose decision
should be final.
Testimony was then taken at the rooms of the
Union Club, No. HOS Chestnut street. In the
City Commissioner contest there was q maio-
rity and a minority report-the former declaring
James N. Balm the nominee, and the latter in
favor of George w. Shultz. This minority docu-
ment was signed by MIR. Newell, of the Twenty
fourth ward.
The majority report, after a lengthy and
somewhat stormy discussion, was adopted.
A motion was then made to make the nomina-
ton unanimous, but MIR. Newell (who has been
a staunch friend of Mr.. Shultz from the incep-
ton of the ~contest) refused to vote yea.
Alter some further discussion, Mr.. Newell said
there was q resolution which would satisfy him,
which he would offer.
The resolution was presented, declaring
James N. Balm the nominee of the Republican
City Executive Committee for the office of City
Commissioners, which was adopted unanimously.
In the Second Congressional matter two re-
ports were submitted, one in favor of Charles
ONeill and the other in favor OF John V.
Greedy.
The minority were in favor of reconvening
the convention and trying the matter over
again, but a resolution presented by the ma
jOrity, referring the contest to the members of
the Executive Committee from the wards COM
posing the district, was adopted by the unani-
nous vote of the committee.
The committee thus constituted will immedi-
ately proceed with their labors, and report their
decision to the Central Committee.
In the First Legislative district contest Joseph
Edmiston protested against awarding the GER
tifcate to Samuel Thompson. OF the sub-com-
mittee appointed to take the testimony, the
majority reported in favor of reassembling the
convention, and the minority in favor of Mr..
Thompson. The majority report was adopted,
and accordingly a notification has been served
that the delegates in this convention will recon
vene at Sixth and Dickerson streets on the 18th
day of August, for the purpose of nominating a
candidate to represent the district at Harrisburg,
and in order to avoid any difficulty in the
organization of that convention, a sut-com-
mittee OF the Central Committee has been APP
pointed to take charge of the preliminary bust
ness.

THE REMOVAL OF THE WALLS AT THE Re-
CENT FIRE ON RACE STREET.-Yesterday con-
siderable correspondence took place between
the proprietors of the Pennsylvania Sugar Re-
finery, at Crown and Race streets, recently de-
stroy ed by fire, and the Chief of Police, relative
to the removal of the insecure walls of the ruins.
These are considered sufficiently dangerous to
prevent the passage of the Race street cars or
other travel on the street.
The Chief early called the attention of the
firm to the insecure condition of the building
and the necessity for closing the street, much
to the inconvenience of the public. In reply to
this the firm stated that it was the intention of
the Building inspectors to visit the spot at B
O'Clock this afternoon, until which time IL would
be impossible to take any action in the matter
on account of the insurance on the buildings.
A note from the Chief to the insurance agent
having charge of the business of the firm pro-
duced a reply which declined all responsibility
in the matter.
The Chief thereupon took upon himself the
responsibility of removing the walls ON his own
authority, and gave notice that work would be
begun this morning, unless some action was
taken by the firm by 5 o'clock yesterday after
noon. The Building Inspectors cannot proceed
without the legal five days notice.
Up to IL O'Clock this morning the work OF
demolition had not begun, though the Chief aud
q force of laborers were on the ground. 1t is
believed that as the matter has been delayed
this long, 1t will be delayed a little longer, until
after the Inspectors visit this afternoon. Mean
while the street is still closed, as it should be,
and the walls remain standing. A solution of
| the difficulty by which the insurance will not
be endangered will probably be reached before
the Chief enforces his order. The freproofs
have not yet been removed from the ruins, but
the books and papers are undoubtedly unin-
jured.
The Campbell family, who were rendered
houseless by the falling of the northern wall
during the fire, are being cared for by members
of the Neptune Hose Company and other chart
| table persons. Any contributions for their re-
lief will be thankfully received.

and taken before Alderman Maxim, who held
him in $500 bail to answer.
