Grants Bad CHAR.

a gentleman who came over the Cumberland

had special Car with Grant, then President,
on board, tells this anecdote: There was no
smoking-car attached, and the gentleman
stood on platform deliberately smoking a
cigar he had bought at way station He no.
tlced sthe President occasionally looking
that way, and finally railroad
official came out and said that the Gen
eral had run out of cigars-that he had been
enVying the man on the platform for some
time and had at last begged him to 90 out
and see II he had any more cigars. Now, the
gentleman was only too happy-frst to ac-
commodate the President of the United Stales
and, second, to get rid of one of the worst
cigars he ever smoked. With this warning he
sent In his remaining weed. The General
acknowledged the courtesy by removing his
hat, AMI bit the end off bis cigar. lighted it
and looked happy. He had taken but one or
two puffs, however, when he began TO look
queer. The man on the platform watched
MIN with renewed interest. He saw him re-
move the cigar and gaze thoughtfully at one
end, then the other. Then he put it back and
took another pull. Then he removed it again,
turned it in his hand and looked it carefully
over again. Then he smelled it. Then he
coughed gently and looked at the man on the
platform, who was gazing innocently across
the helds. Then he looked out of the car win.

though, sighed, took desperate grip on the
stogy with his teeth, and, when last seen by
the glver, was still pulling away.

MORE TILDEN TALK.
Another Assurance That He VIII Not Run
A Netc Ticket Pat Forth.

"A Ne,o Ticket Pat Forth.
A leading Democrat in Congress, who takes
great interest in all party matters said: vii
den will not be candidate for the nomination
at Cincinnati. That is settled and you may
rest assured of it.'
'sThen why does he not relieve his party of
the embarrassment he is causing it and at once
announce that he will not be candidate?' ?
asked the reporter.
"FOr this reason, there are candidates for the
nomination whom Tilden is anxious to defeat.
He feels very bitterly towards Hendricks, who
has certainly done very wrong, and has been
very indiscreet in abusing Tilden. Now, first
OF ALL Tilden wants to prevent Hendricks from
gstting the nomination, and he thiuks he can
accomplish this by keeping his friends together,
and having them organized and in harmony
with his wishes in the convention. He is also
opposed to Bayard and Thurman and will pre-
vent them from winning the nomination if he
can. This is the true secret of TIldens silence
on the subject of his candidacy. Ho will not be
candidate. though; that is as true as that I
am now talking to you.
new Presidential ticket for nomination at
Cincinnati is being talked of with good deal
of earnestness among Democratic members of
Congress. This new ticket is Randolph, of
New jersey for President, and Mcdonald, of
Indiana, for Vice President 1t is urged that
this would be good second-choice ticket as
the supporters of the various
active candidates-Tilden, Thurman,
Baysrd Field and Hendricks--could and
would be willing to compromise upon it. An
other argument put forth in favor of this ticket
Is that the Democrats must retain a majority
in the Senate as we'll as elect President; that
New Jersey and Indiana are the States in which
the Democrats stand the best chance of elect
ing Senators. and that the nomination of
Presidential ticket composed of the favorite
sons of those States would aid in the election
of legislatures.

No Competent Leaders.

The Philadelphia Times expresses the opini,
that Blaine lost the nomination in 1876 for the
want of competent leaders, and that he ia
doomed to defeat this year for the same cause.
1t regards Conkling, Cameron and Logan as
giants compared with William E. Chandler,
Hale and Frye. The conclusion of its article
is as follows: SIT is possible to defeat Grant,
but Blaine's nomination will be possible only
when his ablest enemies decide to favor him,
and is that to be expected from
the present aspect of tho trouble?
Even if the unit rule shall be broken by Blaine
and Sherman, Grant will lead on the first ballot
and the Sherman strength will thenceforth be
more inclined to favor Grant than Blaine,
simply because Cameron and Sherman have
kept within hailing distance of each other in
all the mutations of the contest. Whatever
fortune or misfortune shall happen to Grant,
it will be all the same to Blaine, and his defeat
at Chicago seems to be assured solely because
the chieftain of The Republican people is with
out competent leutenants."

Who Preves,t Ttvo Hearts From Beating as
One-The Course of True L0Ve Running
Decidedly Rough With Mr.. Scales and
Hts BetrOthed.
Williamsport Special, June l.
The people in the vicinity of Dublin Hill,
place four miles northwest of here, were
thrown into state excitement to-day. The
facts as best learned at this date are as follows
Weldon Scales has been paying his respects to
Miss Mary Forrest for the past six months, but
nothing was thought of the matter until
the public were surprised by the announcement
that the young couple were soon to be married,
and further that the engagement met the ap-
proval of the lady's parents.
The wedding, which was to be private one,
was to corue off on last Friday, and marriage
license was obtained, and rumor has it that
minister had been employed for the occasion
But on the evening preceding the wedding
day the parents changed their minds and
would not permit their daughter to marry MIR.
Scales. Then arrangements by the young
couples friends were completed for an elope-
ment, to take place last Sunday morning; but
the couple had not got far away when they
were overtaken by two brothers of tie
young lady, who took their sister back to their
fathers house, where she has been kept nnder
guard during the day, and under lock and key
at night.
The above facts, which did not become gen.
orally known until to-day. have thrown the
people of the neighborhood into great excite
ment. The lady is in great Distress because of
disappointments, and it is feared If she is not
released at once, and permitted to marry Mr.
Scales she will do herself injury; while on the
other hand Mr.. Scales has been very calm, but
more resolute about the matter, and to-day
made application to the courts for redress.
To make the sensation more interesting, the
parties are both of age, and from families that
have heretofore have had great influence in the
neighborhood in which they lived. New de-
velopments are expected hourly.

by roll call of States and is generally regarded
pretty fair test of the Grant strength. In the
Grant caucus to night Col. King said Grant
would have 800 votes This vote showsd SlS on
the Grant side. The Edmunds vote from Yer
mont were evidently cast as feeler for an al
lance with the Grant crowd, in behalf of Yer
mOnt's favOrite son. If Minnesota had been
smart it would have cast 10 affirmative votes
also, for if Minnesota's favorite son even
gains any strength outside of his
own State it must come from
the supporters of Grant. Besides, Conkling
stated the Window boom and this was the first
opportunity Minnesota has had to show her
gratitude to the man who unearthed the hidden
greatness which has been among us so long
and remained undiscovered. Sinclair,
Kindred and Wedge did vote yes, and there
were six nays, Sabin being absent on the
committee on credentials.

CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE.
MORE NICE THAN WISE.

Especial Telegram to the Globe
CHICAGO, Jnne 3, 10 P. M.-Everybody looked
for report from the committee On credentials
tonight and a session until midnight, at least.
Instead of that it was announced that while the
majority of the committee had decided to re-
port in favor of the Farwell gang from Illinois,
Louisiana, West Virginia and Pennsylvania
we're still waiting action. and the whole report
would not be ready till morning. This was
serious disappointment to the convention and
spectators, as. it indicated that a nomina.
tiOn might not be reached till
Saturday. The credentials committee are
acting more nice than wise. Whatever they
do, the whole matter has got to be fought all
over again in the convention, and they might
as we'll make their report and let the fight
begin.
BLAINE GRAB
The leading Blaine and anti-Gra men
would have been glad to have compelled the
committee on rules to report before the CON-
mittee on credentials, but this was manifestly
SO unjust that they could not carry it through.
Garfield, the chairman of the committee, an
nounced that the report was ready, and he was
willing to have it fred cut of him, regardless
OF any agreements in the committee to with
hold it until after the committee on credentials
reported.
FIRST SHOW OF HANDS
On the other hand, the Grant men would
have been glad to have forced the committee on
credentials to report, but they were not strong
enough and hence there was an adjournment,
making it drawn battle. The vote on Gen.
Sharpe's amendment, ordering the committee
on credentials to report, is the first vote taken

Special Telegram to the Globel
CHICAGO, JUNE 3.--We were without our
cables this morning, not that it made auy diff
ference in prices, but we feel lost when they
don't come in regular, and are always fearful
that its part of the game to keep them back,
and its influence is always felt on the market
when they come as they did to-day. Just as
the board closed, for there are few of us that
always get them some minutes before the
crowd, everything was working beautifully for
an upturn, and prices had reached $l02I June,
9S15c July, when foreign news came dull and
lower. This knocked the pegs from under IL 9
bulls and times were lively for a few moments,
settling down to 81. o. and closing at that for
June; 96I July. No deliveries of wheat yet on
the option.
Corn closing trifle higher but the trading
is dull. Receipts rather lower to-day. Pro-
visions have been dull most of the day. but the
sales are somewhat stronger. Trading in all
branches on exchange rather dull the attention
of members being attracted by the convention.

Robbery and Arrest of the Supposed Thief

H
Early yesterday morning boarder at the
Warren house discovered that his clothing had
been rifled during the night and robbed of a
pocket book containing about fourteen dol
lars. That the theft had not been committed
by tyro in the business was evidenced from
the fact that the thief was sharp enough
to take the money and leave the leatEs or, which
was found lying on the floor. Two beds oc-
cupied the apartment, one of which was
engaged by a young man registered from
Council Bluffs, and giving his name as
James Kennedy. The stranger rose and lit out
about o'clock in the morning and throughout
the day he was watched by the police. About
8 o'clock last night he was detected in the
vicicity of the Warren house by Capt. Clark,
who run him to the cooler. When arrested he
had on his person dollar and five cents and a
quantity of trumpery, among which was a
check on the First National Bank of Council
Bluffs for 1900 in favor of 8. B. Bowen and
signed by 8. d. Barton. He also had check
on the same bank for $45. The hearing will
take place to-day.
