William II. English, of Indiana, is

lie was at one time Speaker Of the
Indiana House, and served III Con-
gress from 1853 to 1861, since which
time he has devoted his attention to
private affairs. Flo is said to be q
millionaire, aud hc has all unlimited
stock Of sand in his craw. Recently
he said that God has not brcathcd
the breath Of life into any man
or set Of men who can by force
or fraud again prevent tho duly
elected President from taking his scat.
English is said to be as strong in his
State az Hendricks, and he was nomi-
mated for the purpose of carrying In
diana. This combination Of Hancock
and English has evidently been made
as al evidence that the Democracy do
not propose to be bulldoZed. Beneath
this banner the Democrats can at once
wage an aggressive campaign, and
carry the war right into the heart Of
Africa.

Another Western Blow.

MANKATo, June 8.-A severe rain
storm that ragged over Southern Mime
sofa on three consecutive days, culmin-
ated on Saturday morning in terrific
hurricane. Total destruction resulted to
everything in its path. Over hundred
houses were unroofed. Churches, rail-
road bridges, telegraph wires, trees and
all kinds of movable property are scat
in every direction. The hurricane was
followed by heavy rain, which aug
mented the terrible damage sustained to
buildings and stock. The rain poured
in torrents through unroofed buildings
and over unprotected mercantile goods.
The estimated damage will be about $780,
600. The sidewalks in many places We're
taken up bodily and carried across the
streets. Shade trees of which there are
thousands, are torn to pieces. Several
houses occupied as dwellings, were
blown down over the heads of the fami-
lies, but strange to say no one was seri-
ously injured. The destruction of tim
ber in the forest is unprecedented, acres
of the best wood in the vicinity are lev
elled to the ground and the trees torn
and twisted in every conceivable way
The growing crops, as far as reports
have been received, are not badly DAM
aged. The school house in Lime town.
ship was blown down. All the wire
connections with Chicago and the East
were interrupted until late last night
The railroads centering at this place are
all heavy sufferers. Bridges, in as yet
unknown numbers, were carried away
and the road bed in numerous places
badly washed. The first train over the
Northwestern railroad since Saturday
morning arrived here tonight at Lake
Crystal. The storm took away about
two-thirds of the grain elevator.

A Sad Suicide.

PHILADELPHIA, June IL. = Annie
Coppen, aged seventeen years, commit
ted suicide by cutting her throat with q
razor. About o'clock in the afternoon
Annie went to the third story of the
house, and an hour later, not making
her appearance at the supper table, a
young child was sent to call her. On
the latter entering the bed room occu-
pied by Annie, she found the latter
lying on the floor in q pool of blood,
with her throat cut in several places
and razor grasped in her right hand.
The child called for assistance, and every
effort was made to save the girls life,
but she expired in about five minutes
1t now appears that Annie had been
criminally intimate with man named
Conden, who is about thirty-five years
old, and has wife and three children.
He was arrested late yesterday after
noon and has been held in 81 500 bail.

THE TIMES, NEW BLOOMFIELD PA. JUNE is. 1880

Qarfield's nomination certain, Wiscon-
sims announcement became the occa-
sion for triumphant demonstration.
Everything preceding It In the way of
enthusiasm was belittled into compara-
tive insignihcance, After the demon
stration had been going on o while the
band struck up Rally round the flag"
and the audience sang 1t. The only.
delegates who did not give themselves
up to the occasion were Conkling and
his forty-nine followers. From the be-
ginning to the end they kept their seats,
glum and long-faced, In striking con-
trast with their surroundings.
The call having been resumed after
about twenty minutes of confusion,
Garfield received % more votes, making
399, 20 more than was necessary for a
choice, and Grant more, making 306.
The vote was then reported by the clerk
by States that the record might be cor
rect, and Mr.. Hoar declared Mr.. Gar
field the nominee. His declaration of
the result brought out another demon
stration similar to the one after the
Wisconsin amendment, in which the
whistles of the steamboats, at the lake
piers and a half dozen locomotives out
side, as well as the battery joined.
Mr.. Garfield all this time kept his seat
with the Ohio delegation, where his
friends crowded around him with their
congratulations, which he received with
rare modesty. There was really no
order after that, although Mr.. Conkllng
tried to make speech congratulating
the convention on its harmony and its
choice.
The first break for Garfield was made
by Wisconsin on the 35th ballot, when
Gen. Garfield rose and stated he was not
candidate, but his protest was disre-
garded, as is seen by the result of the
final ballot. In 1851 Garfield entered
the army as Colonel of the And Ohio
Volunteers. On January 10, 1869, he
was promoted to Major-Generalship.
He was elected to the Thirty eighth
Congress, and to each succeeding Con-
gress up to the present time. A few
weeks since he was elected United
States Senator to succeed Thurman
whose term expires the 4th of next
March.
For Vice President General Arthur of
New York was nominated. This was
done to conciliate the Conklin faction,
and to secure the vote of New York
next fall.

Weather Reports.

1t has been quite general belief that
extremely cold winters exert a powerful
effect in reducing the numbers of insects
but observations during the last two
years, show that cold produces little or
no result as an insect destroyer.
During last winter, whenever zone
of high barometric pressure covered
France, it was found to be warmer at
the mountain station of the Puy-de-
Dome observatory than at the Clermont
station, which is $500 feet lower. This
remarkable fact is attracting much at
tention from meteorologists.
Recent discoveries have shown that
the acient Chaldeans and Babylonians
attributed changes in the weather to lu-
mar influence, and kept up system of
regular observations of the moon for
practical purposes.
