Ohio Democratic Convention.

COLUMBUS, O., June 20.-The Demo-
cratic State Convention convened at 10
o'clock this morning. There was the
largest crowd ever seen on a similar oc-
casion in Columbus. The contest be-
tween Ward and Hoadiey for Governor
was waGed fercely during the morning
hours. All preliminary organization
was dispensed with, and the convention
proceeded to nominate the Governor
The first ballot was: Ward, 261; Hoad-
ley, 200; Geddes. 81. Second ballot,
Ward, 800; Hoadley, 304.
The second ballot proceeded till But
Ter county was reached again, and the
same trouble ensued. After the call
gan for Hoadley and the greatest ex
element prevailed, delegates climbing
over each other, and storming the plat
form. Before the result of the ballot
could be announced, motion to nomi-
nate Hoadley by acclimation was car
ried. He had i'll the neighborhood OF
$50 votes, 319 being necessary to a
choice.
Judge Hoadley soon appeared and ac-
cepted the nomination in a ten minutes
address, during which he reviewed his
connection with the party, and, al
though he had wandered at one time
with the Republicans to fight the battles
of the colored race, the Democracy was
broad enough to receive him. He es-
teemed it Il great compliment to DO NOM
mated over more worthy candidates,
and believed that they could win on
platform whose principles were personal
liberty, self-control in temperance mat
ters, and license system. The conven-
ton proceeded to nominate a Lieut..
Governor, and John G.. Warwick of
Stark county was selected by acclamation.

Illinois decided for high license. On
Friday last Harper's high license bill
passed the senate by vote of 30 to 20,
the republicans supporting and the
democrats opposing the measure. Gov.
Hamilton signed the bill few mo-
ments after passage. The new law fixes
the whisky license at $500 and beer at
$50 annually over the entire state, in
Guiding all the cities and towns. The
new law goes into effect on the first day
of July next.
IMPORTANT CASE DEcIDED.-The last
Legislature passed law that any per
son, firm or corporation who shall move
logs from any county in which they are
cut before being scaled by the district
log scaler, shall be indicted and prosecu-
ted. In order to test the validity of this
law Captain Frank Smith, of the Polit-
kofsky, towed a raft from Thurston
ton county to Port Blakely. The Cap
tain was indicted by the Grand jury at
Olympia two weeks since, and the case
came on for trial at the recent term of
court there. After thorough hearing
of the cause, Judge Hoyt held that an
Indictment under that law cannot be
maintained. This will be good news to
the mill companies, who have been con-
siderably annoyed of late. Ex-Gov-
ernor Ferry presented the case on be-
half of the mill company.-PoSt-In -Inteui-

Miss WiIIard's Reception.

OLYMPIA, June 22.-Miss Willard's re-
ceptian here last evening in Columbia
Hall was perfect ovation, there being
hardly standing room in the hall at s
o'clock. The building was handsomely
decorated with beautiful flowers and
evergreens, and an excellent choir rem
dered some choice selections under the
direction of Hon. r. G. O'Brien. Ad-
dresses of welcome were delivered by
Governor Newell. Revs. d. q. Lesourd
and Thompson and Mrs. Hale, which
were responded to by Miss Willard in Il
most effective and able manner. As an
elocutionist, she has few superiors, and
as temperance lecturer, she is far
ahead of any one that has appeared
here previously. Mis- Gordon addressed
the young people this afternoon, and to-
night Miss Willard speaks again.

She Knew Him Best.

John William Blank belonged to the
Ancient and Modern and Highly Honora-
ljn Sons OF Guns of Detroit. If it wasn't
that, it was some other fraternal order
which meets every Monday night and
pays so much to the heirs of every mem
Der who happens to die.
John. Williams happened to die the
other month, and a committee was ap-
pointed to draft resolutions and present
them to his wife in person. The first part
of their duties was fulfilled to the entire
satisfaction of the lodge. But the COM
mittee had some little trouble in finding
Mrs. Blank. They traced her from one
neighbor to another, and finally found her
at her sisters, hat and shawl on and
ready to go out.
"Resolutions of sympathy, Ell? Well,
read en-"
The chairman of the committee pro-
ceeded to read that John William was a
good husband and kind father and a
citizen of unapproachable integrity.
when the widow interrupted
'TOO much taffy! We used to have a
fight every week. and as for his being a
kind father we never had any children.
AS for his integrity he stole all the wood
we burned last winter!'
The chairman gulped down something
and continued to read that John William
WAS an upright DfOJnef, a man Win q
heart full oiHsympathy for the misfortunes
of others, and that charity and forgive
ness were the beacon fires which guided
his footsteps.

ROARING RIVERS IN THE AIR.
Six Streams of Water that Came Down
the Hills from ClOudIess Sky.
TucSO1 Cjfizpn

On Sunday afternoon one of those curious
phenomena of nature occurred about thir-
ty miles southwest of Tucson, and fro m
the description given by eye-witnesses it
was the largest clOudburst ever known in
this country. From Judge II. ID. Fergu-
son the following account was gathered;
On Sunday he was returning from a trip
to the southern part of the county. At
10 O'Clock he put up at Browns station
to await dinner and avoid the heat of the
day. The sky all day was clOudless,
except Il thunderstorm that was observed
travelling the SUBMITS of the Santa Cata-
linas and disappearing over the RncOns
in the northeast. Otherwise not Il cloud
or VapOr of any kind was to be seen.
The sun was shining in all his vigOr, and
as he passed to the west his strength and
glory seemed undiminished.
AT O'Clock Judge Ferguson resumed
his journey toward Tucson. He had come
about five miles when his attention
was attracted by roaring and
cracking toward the west, and, looking
up. he saw a river of water as big as the
Santa Cruz when it runs through War
ner's mill tail race, and coming toward
him. Telling his driver to halt, they
stopped on top of little knoll and watch
ed the waters as they violently ploughed
the desert, tearing stones and brush.
They had evidently spent their force.
After the flood had passed by the face of
the country was disfgured and Il large
gutter had been cut across the valley.
The current came down off Il small range
of low, rolling Mills to the west. Although
the Judge and his companion strained
their eyes in the direction from which the
water came not a cloud was to be seen.
After the water had subsidized sufficiently
to let them pass they went on. They had
hardly gone half a mile when, to their
utter astOnishment, there was another
stream equally as large as the first one.
Again they peered toward the west, as if
in hopes to find some indication of its
source. Passing on their astonishment
was doubled to find another stream, and
in this manner five successive raging cur
rents were crossed.
But all their reserve was called forth
when four miles from where they struck
the first stream they discovered a sixth
one as large as all the others combined.
Its angry waters were waving and hiss
ing as if maddened at the resistance they
met on the way from the hills down to the
desert. This river was unfordable and
to cross it was impossible, so they halted
on knoll and watched it for two or three
hours as it boiled and sized and cut
bed for itself, in some placesias deep rs
10 feet and over 100 yards wide. 1t was
not till after sundOwn that they dared TO
