and was followed shortly after by Goss.
Schcll Farchild was chosen referee. The

referee awarded the fight to Ryan. Tho lat
ter was terribly punished about the face aud
body, but held out. Goss was not apparently

The streets around all the principal hotels

are occupied by living moving mass
of people tonight. The city is one great
huzza-what for, those who nre making
tho noise and onfusion no doubt know, but it
would puzzle an observer to understand The
Palmer house is tho centre of attraction. and
Grant speeches are being madc to vast null
titudo Of people. 1t was announced yesterday
that Senator Cameron was to be deposed as
chairman of the national committee to-day,
but wiser counsels have prevailed. After
beeaguering the committee during the entire
session to-day for some advantages the
friends of Blaine have counted up their gains
and fiud scored to their credit Senator Hoar
(who will never vote for Blaine) as tempo
rary chairman. This is the scalp they have
taken. They attempted to overturn the unit
rule, and were defeated; they sought to make
up the roll of the convention, and were re-
pulsed they desired that Cameron should
act under their instructions in regard to tho
organization of the convention beyond the
temporary chairman, but this poor privilege
even was denied them. Th @ friends of Blaine,
after approaching the chairman of the com
mttee from all sides, found his rulings correct
and his position inpreguable. They enjoy
what has been conceded TO them and nothing
more. Their battle has been fierce, but theil
victory is barren. 1t is rumored here tonight
that the Indiana delegation will present and
urge the name of Ben Harrison for president
There is 10 doubt q flank movement in tho
Blaine column. The friends Of Grant are in
no degree appalled, or disturbed by the action
of the New York protestants. 1t is safer fol
them to violate their faith TO their state OF
the floor Of the convention. Tho list will be
diminished when the voting begins. The
scene at tho veteran convention to-day was

Judge Pardee has decided the case of Mary McInerny vs. Ellen Maloney. The parties are widows and are fighting over a grave in the St. Bernard cemetery. Mrs. McInerny's husband died first, possessed of burial lot in which there remained room for but two graves. He was buried in one and the other was reserved for her. She had no children, and when Mrs. Malo- ney's husband died his heirs ex- pressed a determination to bury him in the remaining grave. Mrs. Maloney was McIn- erny's sister The widow McInerny object ed and procured an injunction, but it was disobeyed and MT. Maloney was buried. There were arrests for the disobedience and these cases were added to the first. The case was tried in the Court of Common Pleas. Mrs. Maloney's counsel claimed that the title to the lot went to the deyisees under the will and the plaintiff claimed the contrary The judge finds that the grave belongs to Mrs. McInerny by an indefensible right. The defendant will take the case to the Supreme Court. filling for plaintiff, Robinson for de- fendant.
