The chair announced that no choice had
been made.

Inc cnalr announced LnaG no chO1ce haQ
been made.
Mr.. Turcke offered a resolution that the
convention take four ballots at each session,
at least until one United States Senator is
elected. He sustained his motion by saying
that the people expected the Legislature to
elect those Senators, and it is charged that
we are wasting time at an expense of from
81, 500 to 81 900 per day. He wanted to
have this convention do something that was
effectual.
Senator Madden asked If the gentleman
had voted for the candidate who had re-
ceived the most votes
Mr.. Turcke could not get the floor to
answer.
Mr.. Murphy moved to amend so that the
resolution should read that not less than
four votes be taken daily. This was ac-
cepted.
Mr. Niles moved as further amendment
that the majority shall, Immediately after
this session, go into caucus and settle their
difficulties. Laughter.
The chair decided this out of order.
Mr.. Spinola took the floor and complain
ed of the majority for holding the minority
here In an Intellectual effort. He insisted
that this question should be submitted to
the people. The proceedings, he said, were
a mere waste of money and time, and the
people would, next fall, pass judgment upon
them. The Democracy intended to carry
the State next fall, under any circumstances.
Mr.. Hayes moved an adjournment, which
was carried, leaving Mr.. Turcke's motion
Enacted upon.

The habit which the rich men of the
United States have acquired of giving
away their fortunes during life. instead
of leaving them to be divided among
lawyers, is producing splendid results
to the general public, although it must
be regarded as fearfully affective blow
to the legal profession. Schools, hos
pitfalls, libraries, parks and other benefi-
cent institutions are being created and
endowed by sensible millionaires, who
realize that they cannot take their bonds
along when they go hence, and feel that
there is little credit in giving away filthy
lucre when grim death loosens ones
grip on it, Washington Post.

attracted thousands of curious spectators yesterday
in spite of the rain and mud. Smoke still as

for the building of the structure which will be
put up in the place of the old soon energy and

The hopes of Mr.. Morrell concerning the safety of
the property in the vaults have been heightened by
the discovery that great mass Of wooden beams is

that such material would batter III the arched roofs

later in the day showed that Butchers Sons held
no interest IN the Philadelphia or New-Yorl mar
kets likely to cause any suspensions

trade and shippers were Inclined to hold Oft. Wheat

Glued pa cents bushel. 1t closed from l to u
cents lower than on Tuesday, with a light export de-
mand only, and an unusually large trade in options
amounting to about 100000 bushels. The trad

pecially in the speculative interest an unsettled
market, rejecting sharp fluctuations in the West.
No. 2 Red was also brisk in the option lists, but
varied widely in price. Corn closed from L. to l
cent lower with a fairly active trade partly for
early delivery and for early shipment. There was
also a large trade in options. Cash" oats were
