THE CONVENTION.

The Chicago convention devoted the
whole of yesterday, and after taking twenty
eight ballots, without reaching any result,
adjourned till this morning The first bal
lot showed Grant plurality over Blaine
and all other competitors. He maintained
his lead throughout the day and night, never
falling below 302, nor rising higher than
800. For several ballots after the recess he
lost ground, but at the close had reached al
most the highest vote of the twenty eight.
Blaine received his highest vote-285-on
the second ballot, and fell as low as 275.
Sherman held his own throughout at from
followed with thirty odd. The Window
boom doomed along with solid phalanx of
ten votes from start to finish. He neither
gained nor lost votes. 1t is not at all proba-
BILE that in the future he will do the former,
but quite probable that the latter will be the
fate Of the little boomlet.
At the present writing there are no posi-
tive indications of what to-day will bring
forth. The fact that the Grant adherents
opposed the adjournment, is an indication
not only of their determination to fight the
contest out to the bitter end, but of their
confidence in their own strength. 1t is ap-
parent that the Senatorial triumvirate do not
propose to make any compromises that will
lead to the defeat of their favorite. They
will make concessions to all of the various
contestants, save the adherents of Blaine.
They will never consent to his nomination,
and if, by any accident, he should gain the
laurels of the day, he would be defeated at
the polls through the efforts of his fellow
partisians at present in council at Chicago.
All previous delays have resulted to the
advantage of Grant. There seems
to be no good reason to expect
that the adjournment of last evening will
result differently. The managers of the ex-
President are omnipresent and indefatigable.
They will leave no stone unturned to accom-
plish their purpose, and will turn good
many stones that their opponents wot not of.
They will use the night to good advantage,
and if the first ballots do not show q large
access of strength to the Grant column, they
will indicate the man upon whom the Grant
manteI will fall.

the corresponding week last year. They were
also very meagre at Mark Lane. Holders show
considerable firmness, which prevented any de-

of the growing crop. Imports OF foreign into
London have been moderate. There was an I'M

of Indian have begun, and assume increased

largely for the contracted Russian export.

Relative to the announced intention OF the

Bold Robbery,

A bold robbery took place yesterday after
noon, at tho boarding house of Mrs. May E.
Fitch, near the corner of Eighth and Robert
streets. About week ago, two young men,
named William Kuhn and John Gibson, en-
gagged board at Mrs. Fitch's, and secured work
as bricklayers on Dawson's new
building on the corner of Fourth and
Wacouta streets. During their absence
yesterday afternoon another boarder, named
Arthur PLEASANT, entered their room and break
ing open Kuhn's trunk rifed it of $40 in
money; and also stole shot gun, revolver and
silver watch. Gibson lost pair Of pants, pair
of shoes, shirt and pair of sleeve buttons.
After going through the boys room PLEASANT,
it seems, went to his own room and cody took
off his old pants and shirt and arrayed himsef
in those of Mr.. Gibson, and then lit out
leaving the shot gun and his old cloths
behind him. The loss was not discoveredsu n
til some hours after the robbery had taken
place, when the police were informed of the oc-
crrrence. Detective Brissett at once visited
the boarding house and soon discovered who
the thief was, but as PLEASANT had silt out. "
it will be difficult task to trace him. Plas-
SAINT had boarded at Mrs. Fitch's for ten days,
and as far as knwn had no employment. 1t is
to be hoped that he will yet be arrested. Both
Messrs Kuhn and Gibson are hardworking, hon.
est young men and their loss is a severe one to
them.

been several times since threatened with az

The circumstances indicate that this attack

Holland met Marshal Wooding,
a gambler, who asked if he had obeyed the
MAYORS order to close his gambling house.
Holland said he had. Wooding cursed him
and Holland turned as if to resent. Wooding
saws Holland drew weapon and he had to
shoot in self defense. The ball struck Hol-

the groin. Physicians have not been able
to extract the ball, and cannot tell whether the
wound is dangerous. Woodlng, VINO says ne

Son.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, June THE body of Mrs.
Nancy Duncan. late resident of Council
Bluffs, was discovered buried near Pacific City,
Miles county, last Sunday evening, under cir
cumstances that lead to the belief that
she has been foully murdered. The body had
evidently been transported some distance, as
it was fly blown. 1t was wrapped in a common
coverlet. tied about the middle of the body
with rope. On the left temple was contus-
ed spot, and at the jugular vein was deep cut
an inch long, severing the
vein and causing death. Later
developments show almost conclusively that
her son, VIM. Duncan, perpetrated the deed.
The officers are on his track. There is much
mystery about the matter but the above are
the facts.
