to his room for pair of boots, and at the
same time told him to be sure and get mates,
as there were two pairs in the closet. Pat
rick returned with two boots, but odd ones.
"Why, don't you see these are not alike-one

For burns or scalds cover the place with

for burns.
Remember that brooms that are dipped for

To take out fruit stains, tie up cream of tar

into cold water and boil it. Recent stains of
fruit may be removed by holding the linen

how to treat fresh wound, because one is liza
BILE to be placed in circumstances away from
surgical and veterinary aid, where he may
save his own life, the life of friend or beast
simply by the exercise of little common
sense. In the first place, close the lips of the
wound with the hand and hold firmly together
to check the flow Of blood, until several stitch.
es can be taken and bandage applied. Then
bathe the wound for long time in cold wa
ter. "Should it be painful" correspondent
says, "take painful OF burning Goals and
sprinkle upon them common brown sugar and
hold the wounded part in the smoke. In q
minute or two the pain will be allayed, and
the recovery proceed rapidly. In my case

NEW YORK.


L
SYRACUSE, N. Y, April 2O.-The special
train consisting of about dozen sleepers,
containing the Tammany delegation and
their friends, reached here at $50 this
morning. There is some talk Of . disturb
ance in the convention, but the Tilderites
anticipate nothing of the kind.
| Getting To Work.
The chairman of the state central COM
mittee called the convention to order at
1890. The name of Tilden was received
with great applause mingled with
| Kisses. He said he was not informed
whether Tilden would accept a call to Off
cial position. [Laughter.] Ti1den had
never been defeated and never would be
[Applause. John C. Jacobs was then
elected temporary chairman.
Much confusion and cheers for GO Hora-
ito Seymour" characterized the efforts
of contesting delegates to be heard. Mr..
Faulkner, contestant, was particularly
persistent and stood his ground against
the Kisses until he was heard. He
then spoke in bitter terms of Hayes, say
ing " At the close Of his official career he
will have drawn from the pockets of the
people 5000, 900, and he will have come by
every dollar of it as dishonesty as ever any
canal contractor filched dollar on
false vouchers. Had the man whom the peo-
pie elected raised the standard of revolt
million armed men would have gathered
about him to execute the will of the peo-
pie. Rather than plunge his countrymen
into fratricidal war, Samuel J. Tilden re-
linquished peacefully the highest honor
possible to man on earth"
John B. Haskins then, by consent, an
nounced that he represented committee
of sixteen from the Tammany convention
to confer with similar committee here
He then offered the resolutions adopted by
his own convention, and the chairman said
he would lay them before the convention
after the roll call.

kellY's Convention.

SYRACUSE, April 20-The headquarters
of the anti-Tilden delegates is at the
Remington house, and soon after arrival OF
of special train from New York, the hotel
was thronged with people and large crowds
on the sidewalk. There seemed to be as
many there as at the Tilden headquarters
At 11:3O the Kelly convention was
called to order at Shakespeare hall, where
the organization was formed last fall. Will
liam Dorsheimer was elected chairman,
and in speech he said it was the duty of
every Democrat to bring about the union
and consolidation of the party. He said
Horatio Seymour (wild cheers) would
unite the Democracy of New York and lead
them to victory.
A Move for Harmony.
Dorsheimer then announced the list of
secretaries and committeeman appointed.
Resolutions were adopted citing that the
state of New York is largely Democratic ;
that the election of the next president
depends upon this state; that under
such circumstances it is the duty
of every Democrat to put aside
all differences now existing, and to
strive to- send to the national conven-
tion in June a united delegation pledged
to no particular individual, but to sup
port any good Democratic citizen from any
state that another Democratic convention
is now i'll session in this city, and to insure
harmony,
Resolred, That committee of sixteen
members be appointed to meet like COM
mittee of the other convention to determine
upon such action as will provide for a
united delegation to the Cincinnati con-
ventiOn.
This committee was then appointed and
the convention took recess until o'clock.

Terrible suicide on a Railroad.

About 10 a. m. yesterday VIM. Hewitt,
about 25 years of age, was run over and
killed near Perryville by train on the
Port Deposit branch Of the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore railroad.
Young Hewitt was of weak intellect and
made living by fishing. The engineer
of the train states that the man committed
suicide. The train, he says, was going
at ratio of about twenty miles an hour,
and Hewitt, waiting until it was too near
him to be stopped, threw himself upon
the track. The engine struck him with
terrible force, severing his head and both
legs from his body. The occurrence took
place just in sight of the residence OF the
unfortunate man and was witnessed by
his mother and sister.

CARRYING SAD HAVOC IN ITS TRACK.

A Long List of the Casualties.
ST. LOUIS, April 2O.-Soon after the
storm child was found at Marshfield
lodged in the crotch. of tree, 30 feet
above the ground. It was but slightly
| hurt.
s4OO was raised yesterday at Rolla for
the sufferers at Marshfeld, and twelve

senger train from the west ran into it.
The engine was ditched, and the engineer
and fireman severely wounded.
A special dispatch from Fulton, Gala
way county, says "The storm which
passed through this county on the night of
the 18th inst. did an immense amount of
damage to farm property, besides destroy
ing number of houses. At New Bloom
field Mr.. Mortz was killed by a falling
house, and negro girl was killed by light
ning.'
Another special from California, Mon
tour county, says The storm did great
injury to property and killed and wounded
a number of persons. The storm first
struck the town of Barrettsville, destroy
ing almost every house there, then passed
down the valley toward North Moran, de-
molishing nearly all the buildings in it's
track. Eleven are known to have been
killed. Several others killed but not recog-
nized, and between twen and thirty
wOunded.'
Damage at Other Points.
CHICAGO ILL.,, April 20.-Champaign
dispatches say the late storm severely in
iured the State University, and that the
students with difficulty escaped from the
building. Many buildings in the town
were badly dcmaged.
Ell Paso, Illinois, reports that the dam
age at that place will aggregate many
thousand.
GAINESVILLE, Missouri, says that fourteen
miles along the track of the storm the de-
struction was very great and in that dis
tance alone would cost $1,000 Churches,
fences, barns, orchards and dwelling were
badly damaged, and some persons danger
ously injured.

A Juror Blew Out the Gas.
On retiring to his bed last night,
David s. Wade, of Earl, one of the grand
jurors who is boarding at John II. koy's,
No. ia South Duke street, instead OF
turning off the gas blew it out. His mis-
take was not discovered until this morn
ing, when the inmates were made aware
of it by a strong smell of gas all through
the house. The sleeper was found to be
much affected by the subtle poison, but
was soon restored. Fortunately, there
was not full head of gas on and the room
was well ventilated. Had this not been
the case we would probably have had a
case of death by suffocation to chronicle.
