HEph0 Holland Nhnt

CINCINNATI, June S.-Ephrsim Hol-
land, who has had much notoriety from
his connection with the election frauds
in 1876 in this city, and whe has been
several times since threatened with as.
sassination, was shot to night while on
the corner Of Fourth and Race strests
The circumstances indicate that the At.
tack was not instigated by Hollands
political connections.
Holland met tonight one Marshall
Wooding, who asked him if he had
obeyed the Mayors order TO close his
gambliDg-house. Holland replied that
he had. Wooding then cursed Holland,
and the latter turned as if to resent t.
Wooding says at this moment Holland
DIRE" o weapon, and that he was COM
PEELED to shoot the man in self-defence.
The ball struck Holland in the upper
part Of the right leg near the groin.
The physicians have been unable to
extract the ball, 80 far, and cannot tell
whether the wound is dangerous one
or not: Wooding, who says lie is from
DanVille, Va, was arrested.

A New Novel,

"LUoIR RoDRr," a "Society Novel, u
by Henry Greville, is published this
day by T. B. Peterson L Brothers,
Philadelphia. All lovers of a good
novel should get "Lucie Rodney" at
once, as well as all other novels Of
Ronry Greville as fast as they are is
sued, as no French authoress Of to-day
equals her in power and interest. She
never wrote novel that was not ex-
cellent, and she has written several
that prove her genius and art. With
all she is versatile, and each work not
only differs from those which proceeded
it in plot, incident and treatment, but
marks steady advance to that posi-
tion Of world wide renown which Is
very certain to be assigned her. The
character drawing in ''Lucie Rodney"
are marvellous in breadth and analyza-
tion, and gives proof Of rare artistic
skill, while the most delicious fanoies
EXPRESSED in graceful, poetical and Wig
orous language render the authors
style incomparably charming.

of eighty-fve dollars remained in the

The Largest Number OF Ballots Re
quired TO Nominate Candidates
HltheFfO


quired TO Nominate Candidates
Hitherto.
In the first Republican Convention,
that Of 1856, Fremont and Dayton were
nominated for President and Vice.
President, respectively, on the frs,
regular ballot. In 1860, Mr.. Lincoln
was nominated on the third ballot, and
Mr.. Hamlin ON the second. In 1864,
Mr. Lincoln was re.nominsted by ac-
olamation, and Mr.. johnson received
the Vice-Presidential nomination
scarcely less unanimously on the first
ballot.
In 1858 there was practically no op-
position to Grant, and he was nomina-
ted On the FIRST roll.call. Colfax re-
ceived the nomination for Vice. Presi-
dent on the sixth ballot. In 1872,
Grant again received all the votes cast
on the first ballot, and Wilson was nom
mated on the second. Greeley was nom
mated by the Liberals on the sixth
ballot, and Brown on the second. In
1866, Hayes was nominated on the
seventh ballot and Wheeler on the
first.
In connection, the Democratic record
for the same period will be Of interest.
In 1856, Buchanan was nominated on
the seventeenth ballot for President,
and Breckenridge, for Wise President,
on the second ballot. In 1850, the
Democratic Convention, at Charleston,
balloted 81 times, Douglas the leading
never receiving less
than 1454 votes, or more than 152.-|
The Convention was then broken
up by the withdrawal OF seven South.
ern States, but it re-asssmbled nearly
two months afterward, and Douglas
was declared the nominee on the second
ballot, although the boilers prevented
his receiving more than 1914 votes, or
less than regular wo.thirds majority. |
was nominated for Vice
President on the first ballot. The Sc
ceders nominated Breckinridge and
Lane on the first ballot.
In 1864, Mcclellan and Pendletoa |
received their nominations on motions

In 1858, Seymour was nom
mated on the twenty. second ballot, and
Blair on the first. In 1872, the Dem
ocrats adopted the nominees Of the
Liberals on the first ballot in each case.
In 1875, Tilden was nominated on the
eoond ballot, and Hendricks on the Grst.
Seven ballots are, therefore, the

William Atkins, % years old, residing
at Moriston, Sullivan county, N. j.,
shot himself q few evenings ago, and
will die from the wound. Akin Is re-
specially connected, and was employed
in 8. Hammond's store. He made his
home at the house Of his uncle, James
Noolan. Mr.. Noolan has two handsome
daughters, the elder being IS years old.
Young Atkins became passionately fond
of the older Miss Noolan, who, to all
appearances, reciprocated his love.
This young lady, accompanied by her
sister, was taking walk on the even.
ing Of the shooting in grove upon the
outskirts of the village. While there
they came upon Atkins, who was lying
on the grass. He asked the elder Miss
Noolan to come and sit beside him. She
refused. The two sisters walked on a
short distance, but were overtaken by
Atkins, who demanded an explanation
for his:sseming indifference. The young
lsdy's response could not have been q
favorable one, as Atkins Immediately
went away saying that he would not
trouble her any more. Having retired
a few steps, he drew revolver from
his pocket, and shot himself in the
head just above the ear. The young
man was assisted to his uncle's house,
and physician summoned. He cannot
