Omaha, June 3.-Reports received by
the Herald from the southern part of
the state, where the storm of last week
was severest, show that although
in a few places there was slight damage
done to crops, that on the whole
the rain did very great amount of
good, and in some cases has caused the
most gratifying prospects of an abund-
ant yield, where before there had been
danger of drouth.

Workingmen's Convention.

San Francisco, June 3.-The work.
ingmen's convention assembled in this
city to-day. Thirty counties were rep
resented, and delegations from others
are expected. Dennis Kearney called
the convention to order and delivered
an address, reviewing the origin, pres
ent condition and future prospects of
the party. His reference to the pro-
posed repeal of the national banking
act met with much enthusiasm from
the convention.
While the committee on credentials
were in consultation, resolutions of re-
spect to the memory of the late Gen.
Shields were adopted.
The committee on credentials having
reported, committees were appointed
on platform and resolutions, and per-
manent organization and order of busi-
ness. The latter committee reported
in favor Of Dennis Kearney for perma-
nent president, which was received
with the greatest applause. After de-
Gliding upon the order of business, the
convention adjourned till tomorrow, to
give the committee on platform time to
report.
The proceedings of the convention
thus far have been harmonious, though
they are marked by tendency to pro-
long discussion on minor topics notice.

1t is understood that there is an ele-

new constitution party movement, and
it is expected that it will show its hand
tomorrow in an attempt to either carry
or split the convention. 1t is con-
sidered, however, that this element is
not sufficiently strong to carry either
point, and that the proceedings will be
conducted to successful termination.

one occasion he was visiting in Au'

him for an acquaintance, tapped
him across the shoulders with n
riding whip. Aston wheeled as
Quick az lightning. The gentleman
apologized in the most ample terms
Aston took the whip from his
hands, dashed him across the back
