POLITICAL GOSSIP.

ALBANY, Oct, 10,-The Tammany Hall
delegates to the state convention, delegates
of the county democracy, and the delegates
of the Irving Hall democracy, marched
with contingents to their respective hotels
as they arrived to-day. The Tammany
line was the largest county democracy and
they won the loudest applause. When
John Kelly reached the city he was told
that there was strong opposition to the
admission of the Tammany delegates to
the convention. He responded he was not
disappointed Tammany came to the con-
vention, as in duty bound. He said Tam
many would not hold separate conven-
ton. Tammany would return to New
York absolved from supporting the ticket
made here, but it would nominate and
support its own local ticket. They wanted
recognition here. the full vote total. If
they could not get that then the party OF
the state could lay no claim to their votes
or support.
The State Committee convened this
evening to make a roll of the delegates and
select temporary chairman. John Kelly,
a member of the committee, objected to
the county democracy delegation being
enrolled The committee overruled his
objection. Tammanyites this evening say
they will support the state ticket, and do
not ask single nomination on it. 1t is
said they will unite with having Hall on
the local ticket and run it against that of
the county democracy, with view of
showing that they can cast the most votes,
hoping in that way to convince the rural
democracy that they have made a mistake
in ruling them out. A a careful canvass
shows that there but twenty four rural del
egates in favor of admitting Tammany.

recovery, and he was not out of danger.
The disease had broken out between Park
vile and Waldron, two stations on the
Council Bluffs road, the latter only
nine miles from this place. 1t was
brought there by tramp laborer
who went to Kansas City seeking for work
and was taken sick and died. This was
ten days ago. 1t is said all who attended
the funeral of the first patient have been
stricken. The bodies were covered with
most horrible sores and fairly rot and fes-
ter before death ensu es. Mr., Threlketelk
is reported to have said that person who
had died with the disease cannot be lifted
into the coffin. The flesh falls from the
bones ard the bones themselves crumble
and break when handled. Many of the
citizens think that it is the old black small
pox, very virulent form of the disease,
ia which the body is covered with black
eruptions and few taken survive. Others
who have seen it think it is nothing more
or less than the black scourge which de-
vastated the countries of the east in the
fourteenth century.

THEIR HOME.

WASHINGTON, Oct 10.-In the divorce
case to-day, Mrs. Christiancy testified that
when Christiancy took her to his home in
Michigan in 1876, the party consisted of
himself and five sons, the fifth boy of
three years. Lived about two years in
Michigan, during which time, with the help
of a servant girl, fifteen years old, she per-
formed the entire household duties. The
youngest son, George, was very kind, and
they grew very fond of each other. The
others were kind enough when sober, but
were addicted to drinking; when intoxi-
Gated they would quarrel with one another
and their father, use low language and
have frequent brawls, She protested
against this mode of life, and wanted a
house seperate from the sons. The hus-
band agreed to provide it, but never did.
She never said she would get divorce, and
if there were no grounds she would get up
some unless at time when she was indig-
nant at the treatment she received She
did not believe in divorce.

day, the attorney for William Ryan, re-
Gently convicted for the Glendale train rob-
berry, made motion for new trial, in
which Governor Crittenden is charged with
appearing in the court on the last day of

the effect to prejudice the jury in the
case. A good deal of excitement prevails,
and the court room is crowded with peo
pie listening to the argument. If the mo-

SENATE ACTION.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-Immediately
after the reading of the Journal, Edmunds
rising to question of the highest privi-
lege, moved that the oath of Office be ad-
ministered to Nelson W. Aldrich, senator
elect from Rhode Island. There being no
objections, the motion was agreed to, and
Aldrich was sworn in. Edmunds then
made a similar motion in the cases of SEN
ators elect from New York
Mcpherson interposed, and stated that
he desired to present a petition pending
that motion. He held in his hands a com
munication from certain members OF. the
New York Legislature, alleging certain
reasons why Lapham and Miller were not
entitled to their seats in the senate. With
regard to these allegations he knew moth
ing. He did not present the petitions with
any desire to delay action upon the admin
istration of oath. He offered the petition
and would refer it at proper time to the
appropriate committee.
Edmunds said that as the petition re-
ferred to the propriety of swearing in the
new senators from New York, he would
not object to it's reception at the present
time. The petition was received and laid
on the table and the oath of Office admin
istered to the senator's from New York.
A committee, consisting of Pendleton
and Anthony, was appointed by the pre-
siding officer to wait upon the president
and inform him that the senate was ready
to receive any communications he might
be pleased to send them.
A recess for half an hour was had. At
ter recess Edmunds offered resolution de-
claring the standing committees of the
senate as they were constituted at the close
of the last session of the senate be contin-
ued for the present session, and authoriz-
ing the president pro tenn to fill any vacan-

The committee appointed to wait upon
the president reported it had performed its
duty and that the president stated he
would communicate in writing with the
senate tomorrow. Adjourned.

HERETO.

SYCAMORE. ILL.,. Oct. 11.-Dr. Thomas
was suspended from the church by the
jury last night The jury re-assembled at
about 7:30 o'clock and were in secret ses-
sion for nearly four hours. Six ballots
were taken, two on the two charges and
four on three specifications. The first
specification, in which DR.. Thomas was
charged with denying the inspiration and
authority of certain of the anontical books
of the old and new testaments was not sus-
tanned. All the charges were sustained as
well as the second and third specifications.
In the second specification DIR. Thomas
was charged with denying the doctrine of
atonement as taught in the second
and twentieth articles of
religion, and in the third specification he
was charged with teaching the theory OF
probation after death, for those who die in
SIN. This verdict which probably will not
be known by DIR. Thomas until morning
will be no surprise to him for he antici
pated it. The verdict of this committee
is final so far as the jurisdiction of tn
Rock river conference is concerned. Tn
less DR.. Thomas should change his mind III
will take an appeal to the next highe
court of the judicial conference, and IL
case the decision there should be agains
him. He can carry certain points o
the case up to to the general conference
which meets in 1884 In order to secur'
this privilege he must abstain from preach
ing during the intervening space of time

OHIO.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 1.-THE election is
quiet; weather fair. The vote is light, but
carriages are out everywhere. The after
noon vote will be larger than that of the
forenoon. 1t is impossible to say how it
will result. Both predominant parties are
active in rallying voters, and the temper
ance party is working energetically.
COLUMBUS, Oct. 1.-THE election is
passing very quietly. The vote will not
be more than seven eighths as great as a
year ago. The prohibition vote will be
light; scratching on republican and demo-
cratic state tickets about equal.
