state convention assembled at Comstock'i
Opera House at IL o'clock. and was called
to order by John G. Thompson, chair On ar
of the state central committee. In the
course of few remarks. Thompson urged
harmony, and said whoever Ohio stood
by to- day. would go into the national con
vention with such prestige as to render
his nomination almost assured. He then
delivered strong speech IN favor of har-
monious action and closed with brilliant
eulogy oil. Senator Thurman. The mention
of the senator's name elicited great
applause. as did also the names of Tliden
and Payne.
The status of the delegates is generally
conceded to be favorable to Thurman,
though Tilden and Payne have powerful
influences at work 1t is possible Thur
man will receive q majority OF Gll the
delegates though the general opinion is
that the delegation will be uninstructcd.
The unit rule will no doubt prevail.
Frank Hurd was chosen temporary
chairman and J. S. Grail. secretary. Hurd

exercises began with al address of vel

Palmer made a mos: cordial and appro~
pirate speech of welcome. He said:
General: Most of those present to day
only know you as the successful military
leader, whose name is a household word
aud to whom the country is indebted for
distinguished and patriotic services, and
as Chief Magistrate of tue republic, charged
with the administration of it's laws and the
guidance of its policy during the most i'm
portant and interesting period OF the ma
tional history. They honor you because
during the civil war you never doubted but
that the patriotism. the courage and the
endurapce of the Amsli people would
preserve the Union and re-estabish the
authority of the constitution and the laws,
nor in peace that their integrity. industry
and economy would sustain the public
Gre il and restore national and individ-
uai prosperity. The opinions of your
countrymen credit YOU with being gov
erned during your public life by two
maxims as simple as protoupd-in war,
march and fight; in peace, earn and pay.

reduction of the card rate on iron to q
cents, the from masters state it was an
absolute necessity. by reason of reports
submitted at the meeting. that stores in
Cleveland and Chicago were selling at that
figure. The manufacturers here were
dun bfounded at such reports. and said it
was easily to be understood why no orders
were received here. with card rate at
. 10 cents per pound. Therefore re-
duction was ordered. It is held that. for
the first time in many years. the trade has
got into the hands of speculators. and that
the importation of iron has caused the
trouble
The Western Iron association had q
special and strictly private meeting yes

agreed to reduce the card rates to 50. so.

Crazy over a Divorce.

In the vicinity of Second and Fillmore
streets, Davenport there is almost constant
excltemeut.over the actions OF man of 4Os
who lives in his own house. near by, but
who appears to be out of his mind, with a
tendency towards suicide. The cause of his
strange conduct lies in the fact that bis
wife, without his knowledge, he says, pro-
cured divorce, and suddenly left him,
taking the children with her. He has been
extremely anxious to have her return-has
begged. made all sorts of promises of bet
ter conduct, plead with her to have mercy
on him and not send him to the devil.
while she refuses TO listen to his petitions,
and says that he made all these promises
time after time when she was living with
him. but no good can come of his vows,
and her life ct his house was uncomfortable.
Last week he went to her abode and coaxed
one of his children to go home with him.
and refused to give it up until an officer of
the law. armed With writ, took posses
sion of the child. Early Sunday morning
three or four pistol shots were heard which
were apparently fred in this mans house,
the windows and doors of which were all
fastened, with curtains down. The neigh
bors thought he had killed himself, but
they couldn't get in to see: they summon
ed Chief kessler, who went to the back of
the house. and there sat the supposed sui
eide at window to greet the chief with
laughter. Wednesday morning pistol
shots were again heard in the house it
was before daylight; the neighbors kept
quiet about it until the middle of the fore
noon, when they again called the chief.
who went through the house but could
see nothing OF its owner. Up to 3. p.
M. Wednesday there had been no tragical
developments. The neighborhood is
getting tired of the worry and excitement,
and it is not unlikely that information as
to his insanity will be filed with the county
and his case examined. It
is the opinion Of some of the mans friends
that he will plump himself into the river
before long, if not taken care of.
