Whole number OF votes, 756 necessary to
choice, $40.
1t will be noticed that the nomination
was made without the 307 votes which
had been cast for Grant. The final bal
lot is thus described by correspondent
of The Times:
Finally, at about o'clock, the call for
the thirty-sixth ballot began. Connecti-
cut was the first State to break for Gar
field, Alabama, Arkansas, California
and Colorado having stood by their
former votes. Connecticut gave Gar
field II Georgia followed with / for
him, Illinois with z, her first break, and
Indiana increased her 27 of the proceed
ing ballot to 20. Iowa gave him her %
solid. 1t was her first break from Blaine
and she broke entirely. Kansas next
threw over the She had given Blaine
from the start to Garfield. Kentucky
followed with the Sherman had held
from the start and Louisiana with s
which Blaine and Sherman had shared
before.
So far, with few exceptions, Blaine,
Sherman, Edmunds and Washburne
had all gone to Garfield. Maine then
gave up the contest by casting for him
also her IA votes. 1t was some time after
Mr.. Hales's announcement to this effect
that the call could be resumed, for the
excitement over it was intense. Sena-
tor Conkling gave a derisive laugh and,
turning to his colleagues, exclaimed:
8 Now we've got them !"
Then he went over to labor with Vir-
ginia, and exclaimed to her delegation:
Stand by Grant-we shall certainly
nominate him on the next balloti'
Massachusetts threw 10 votes for Gar
field, and Mr.. Boutwell's head went
down into his coat collar. At Mary
lands announcement of for Grant and
10 for Garfield, Mr.. Creswell disputed
the report and poll was taken which
gave him the satisfaction of showing
that he was still true to Grant. So the
call went on, interrupted frequently
with applause and shouting, the Blaine
and Sherman forces uniting on Garfield.
In New Jersey it was Is solid for him !;
in New York, 20 for him against 80 for

Tremendous COnAauration Caused by Light
ming.

BRADFORD, Pa, June 11.-This morn
ing at seven o'clock lightning struck a
20,000-barrel iron tank of oil of the Tidi-
QUITE Pipe Company, located on an emil
nence above Titusville. The oil imme-
diately took fire, and later the fire COM
municated to another tank of the same
size, owned by the same company. At
one o'clock the burning oil overflowed
and ran down the hillside, consuming
everything in its course. The Octave
refinery and Acme Oil Works, one of
the largest refineries in the world, is
now burning. The oil ran into Oil creek
and threatened destruction to a large
amount of property in this city. Per-
sons residing in the neighborhood have
left their household goods and gone to
places of safety. AT seven o'clock the
buildings along both sides of Breed
street were burning and about 100000
barrels Of oil. There is great excitement
in the city, but the business portion at
this time is believed to be safe, being
mostly composed of brick buildings.
10 o'clock.-Another iron tank has
burst and set fire to the Franklin-street
bridge. The Octave Refinery, on the
north side is now in flames, which are
spreading rapidly.

MORE TROUBLE FOR FARMERS.
The Army Worm.


The army worm that has appeared
this year is about an inch long, and
slate color, and looks like dark grub OF
the caterpillar species. Its back Is COW
cred with rough fur, or coating of
bristly hair, which protects 1t to q great
extent from the wild birds, though the
hard-throated hens eat 1t up with
relish. Its eyes are plainly visible, and
from its head project feelers. The fore
port of the body is furnished with un-
numbered legs, while the hind part lies
fiat on the ground. Its motion is some
thing between walk and crawl, and
it gets over the ground at an astonishing
rate. Its appetite seems never to be sat-
isfied. Unlike the potato bug, they care
nothing for the succulent root on which
the latter feeds, and confine their raw
ages to grass, timothy, wheat and corn.
The tomato does not tempt them, nor
do they seem to relish the grain of the
corn. Were the season a little further
advanced this crop would be safe from
them, but, unfortunately, the harvest is
late this year, and they devour the
young leaves ravenously. Even the
full grown bearded corn is attacked, but
the grain beneath is seldom touched.
| NO DEFENSE AGAINST THEIR RAvAGEs.
In fighting the army worm with Paris
green the poison was used in the way
that had proved most successful to the
potato bug-mixed with earth plaster
and thrown over the invaders but the
hair on the creatures backs received the
mixture, which was too consistent to
| penetrate, and the worms shook 1t off
and suffered no injury. The Paris
green mixed with water was tried, and,
so far as primary intention was con-
cerned, it was successful. 1t killed the
army worm but it also destroyed the
crops as surely as the grub itself could
have done, so it was abandoned, and the
farmers fell back on trenches, coal tar
and fire. This fire is applied by simply
setting O match to the dry grass around
the fields, and it may or may not (for
the result is doubtfuD kill those worms
that come beneath its immediate infiu-
ence; but the mere destruction of q
certain number of the grubs in given
spot is like an attempt to drain the
ocean with tea-cup, and is attributable
rather to not unnatural desire on the
part of the farmer for revenge than to a
reasonable attempt to stay the plague.
THE PESTS IN LANCASTER COUNTY.
LANCASTER, June H. Farmers in
this county report that the army worm,
cut worm, Colorado beetle, grasshopper,
and all the other pests have made their
appearance and are committing fearful
ravages in the different crops. Mr. L.
Lands, of Catfish twp, says that ON
Monday horde of army worms attack
ed his cornfield, destroyed every vestage
of the growing crop before Tuesday
morning, and then attacked his wheat
field.
CHESTER INVADED by THE PESTS.
WEST CHESTER, June H. Worms
varying in length from one inch to one
and quarter inches, have made their
appearance in Londongrove twp, this
county. They are supposed to be of the
specie of army worms that are now
devastating the farms of Long Island.

sshsaded In a Railroad Car.

Martin Gregory, an express agent, Of
Elmlra, met with horrible death on
Tuesday night of last week, while on
his way to Jersey City in a train Of the
New York; Lake Erie and Western
Railroad. AS the train was dashing
through the tunnel at Jersey City, Gre
CORY leaned out of window. His head
struck against post at the side Of the
track,and was almost completely knock
ed off. His body fell back upon the seat
of the car. The passengers, terrified at
the CHASTITY spectacle, were seized with a
panic, and 1t was not until the train
had emerged from the tunnel that they
recovered from their fright. Gregory
was 20 years of age. He leaves wife
and family in Elmira.

Curious Hanging Accident.

Albert Hager who lives several miles
from Salem, Indiana, went into his
stable loft to sleep off his potions. He
slipped off the hay and down through a
lot of harness hanging on the walls of
the stable, one of the lines noosing itself
around his neck and hanging him. He
would have died in this condition but
for the fortunate arrival of a neighbor
at the barn, who cut him down.

A Serious Railroad Accident.

The sleeping cars attached to fast line
east, Thursday morning met with a Sc
rious accident while running over the
Pan Handle road. A freight train was
backing on siding when the engine of
the passenger train ran into it. The
passenger engine was rolled down the
bank and the front mashed out of the
postal car. Both the engineer and fire
man were injured, the former probably
fatally. None of the passenger cars left
the track.

Gy Lightning struck a wagon load of
people near Nicola, Iowa, the other
evening, completely tearing John
Lynch's hat rim from the crown,
thence passing down his neck, severing
his clothes into innumerable pieces.
The bolt followed his back, burning it
and passing off his hips into the buggy

instantly killed, and, strange to say, no
other occupant of the buggy was in
jured.

TELEGRAPHIC ITEMS.

Matters Of importance have trans
PRED for the considerations of the AID.
ministration which, were not anticipa-
ted, that have made it desirable for,
Secretary Eyarts to return TO Washing
ton before the departure of r. 3.
Hayes. for the West, and he will ac-.
cordingly be there this week. It is un-
derstood that Hayesis anxious to con-
ciliate the Chinese governments in re-
gard to the admission of the steamer
Wo Chung, now due at San Francisco,
in, order that this may influence the
Pekin, government and. accelerate the
operations of Minister Angel and Com
missioners Prescott and Swift in their
efforts to accomplish the desired treaty
notifications It IS thought that the
Administration, up to this time, has
not had much encouragement as to the
probable success OF the commission.
The new problem presented by the
Chinese merchantmen would not be
likely to help matters much, with its
attendant questions Of discriminating
duties and alien tonnage. 1t is report
ed that the Administration is not averse
to straining a point In constituting the
acts of Congress governing the admis-
sion of Chinese bottoms. The techni-
cal point now is: Does China-discrimi-
nate against the vessels of the United
States in her. tonnage tax on tariff
duties2 This question has been pro-
pounded to the Chinese Minister and
the answer, will no doubt be negative.
Thisswill be satisfactory and Hayes will
issue his proclamation. If the answer
arrives ntime the proclamation is ex-
pected to-day.
The New York World, referring to
the Herald's correspondence stating
that California is looked upon by the
Republican managers as likely to give
its six electoral votes to Hancock and
English, and that they are bending
their energies to save the Senatorship
from the wreck, says. They are doing
the same thing in Connecticut and New
Jersey, and looking for q general col
lapse in the national contest, hope to
reduce the Democratic. majority in the
Senate, and, If possible, to secure the
House. 1t has all along been the opin-
ion Of the Grant managers that Gar
fields defeat would bring their candi-
date to the front in 1884.
