A SAD DEATH.

At his farm, near Franklin, Va,
Saturday, Mr.. Asa Biggs, a son Of
the late Judge Biggs, was burned to
death. His wife, who was down
stairs in the house, heard an explo-
sion in her husbands room up stairs,
and going there and opening the
door, found that a kerosene lamp
had exploded and that the room was
on fire. She tried to save her hus
band, but failed, being terribly burn
ed in making The attempt. The fire
spread SO rapidly that soon the en-
tire house was a ruin, aud not until
the flames had died away could the
charred remains of Mr.. BiSgs be
taken from the cinders. The sad
accident causes sorrow in this State
and Virginia, MI. Biggs having bad
many relatives and warm friends in
both States.-Raleigh Neaos ana

Sin killeth-or sin when it is finished
bringeth forth death. James LIST ch..
18th verse Romans 6 CHI, 25ufverse,
"For the wages, of sin is DEATH"
What evils in this christian land,
This favored land of hope!
The church and world walk hand in
hand.
The doors of hell are ope.
At every step we meet a vice,
Oft clad in subtle mien;
Some naughty hing Of worthless price,
But yet too often seen.
Deep hid away, yet doth not seem
TO some to be 50 Uilc.
They blunder on in sin to dream
They tear no devils Uile.
TO chew, and smoke, and drink and
joke, (ObScene)
Some sdy it Is NO sin
10 Heaven they blindly dare to poke
But who will take them in?
Will Peter meet them at the gate.
And say, good souls, come in;
Or. will he say, you are too late,
Your faith is mixed with sin
Without true faith and holiness,
You cannot see the Lord;
Then, why presume to find access,
You who neglect His uord.
The Prophets all have strictly taught,
And oil APOSTLES too,
That all true faith in Christ is wrought
And nothing else uill do.

The Red Caps Beaten at Ball Play by the
Pacifics of Omaha.
Yesterday afternoon the Red Caps of
st. Paul, and the Union Pacifcs of Oma-
ha, played game of base ball on the Red
Cap grounds, which resulted in victory
for the visitors by score of to l. The
game was the closest and most interesting
played here this season, and was witnessed
by the largest number of people that have
attended at any of the games this year.
Salisbury, who pitched one season
for the old Red Caps several
years ago, occupied the box for the
visitors and pitched very effectively in
deed. Both pitchers were batted with con-
siderable freedom, and good fielding alone
prevented more run getting. It was a
very pretty game and will be tried over
again this afternoon. The feature Of the
Red Caps was the pitching of Hogan, only
seven hits being made off his delivery.
The catching of Barnes was very good, al
though he is credited with two passed balls
Nettleton did some good work on third
making good stops, and his throwing to
Lawson was very accurate. Worrick al
short made one Of the best stops of the
game. 0lDIey did good hitting as
did Nettleton, who got IN two baser.
Calvin would have crossed the home plate
on Lawson's safe hit to right field but he
missed it and was shut out by Baker.
Lawson did good work on first base, put
ting out fifteen without an error, receiving
well earned applause. The pitching and
catching of Salisbury and Baker for the
visitors were the features, the Red Caps
getting only six hits. The fine base run.
ming of Foley and the hard hitting of the
| visitors throughout the game were noticea
ole. Both clubs meet again at $50 this
| afternoon, and all admirers of the game
will have an opportunity of seeing game
contest between two very good clubs.
Griggs will appear, and no doubt some
very sharp work will be done. The follow.

An Important Convention.

The conference called by the mayors OF
several different cities of north Dakota, to
take action in regard to the action OF
south Dakota in assuming the name OF
Dakota for the state, was organized to-day
Col. W. G. Plummer, of the Fargo Repub-
lican, was elected chairman and E. A. Hen
derson, of the Dakota Capital, secretary.
The following preambles and resolutions
were adopted:
WHEREAS, The people of Dakota living
south of the forty sixth parallel of latitude
have called a convention of the people of
that section only, to meet at Sioux Falls
on the 9TH day of September, to consider
the question of statehood; and
WHEREAS, The promoters of SAID con-
ventlon in an aggressive and unauthorized
manner are appropriating the name of
Dakota, which the people north of the
forty sixth parallel alone have made IA
nous as trade mark all over the civilized
world; therefore be it
ResOLUed, That a convention of the citi-
zens of that portion of the territory lying
north of the forty-sixth parallel be held at
Fargo on the 18th day of September, to
take definite action in the matter, and to
consider any collateral issues regarding
state hood that may be presented. And
Resolved, That the representation be the
same as at the convention held last year at
Grand Forks, with the addition of two del
egates from every county organized since
then and one delegate from every unor-
ganized county in north Dakota.
There were about thirty representative
men present from various portions of the
territory, but what is generally termed
The Ring" was conspicuously absent.
A resolution was passed which stated
that the sense of the convention was for
division. But the appropriation of the
name would be fought to the bitter end.
The general sentiment was that wheat
from north Dakota had made the territory
grand name and great fame all over the
civilized world, and for few COW counties
down in the south part to try to steal the
emigrative reputation would not only re-
suit III grand kick but it would, if per-
sisted in, bring about an organized effort
to defeat their plans. Dakota wheat is a
source of fame, and ali comes from north
of the forty-sixth parallel, and south
Dakota seems to be posing in the attitude
of plunderer Of the fame for selfish and
unholy purposes.
The Argus and Republican, of Fargo,
will publish editorials tomorrow
approving of the convention and
the purposes for which it
was called, which is more noticeable as it
is the first time these papers were ever
known to agree on anything.

Harmony to be Sought For.

New York, Aug. 22.-At this mornings
session of the federation of organized
trade and labor unions of the United
States and Canada, the Legislative com
mittee appointed last year at the Cleveland
convention, reported encouraging progress
had been made in the formation of local
unions and in increasing the MEMBERSHIPS
of the unions previously formed. The re-
port reviews the history of the labor agi-
tation IN the past year, and efforts will be
made to obtain legislation favorable to
working men. 1t was recommended that a
prize of $50 be offered for the best essay
on trades unions and strikes. and it was
also suggested that steps be taken to secure
harmony and unanimity among all trades
and labor organizations of the country.

and Mr.. Blaine, if he did not advise it,
acquiesced in it. But on the accession of
Arthur, Mr.. Blaine denounced Malone
and aVowed his sympathy with the Repub-
lican party of Virginia. Now, the action
of that party, if Mr.. Blaine acquiesces in
it, places him in antagonism to Arthur or
any other man, for the nomination next
year. The movement thus inaugurated IN
Virginia, will crystalize around him, and
he will be formidable, and quite likely
a successful competitor for the presiden
tial nomination in the next Republican
national nominating convention.

and its records show that 100000 persons
have entered the building, and this does
not include the attaches. The visitors are
six times more numerous than at Atlanta
in the sponding period, coming from
all sections of the country, but the South
is most largely represented, the Eastern
and Northern people reserving their visits
until the cold weather, which in our section
will make the Southern climate more in
wiling. Visitors are surprised and delight
ed with the immensely of the progress
made. The hotels are full Of people and
the city is alive with sightseeing strangers.

TIE RESULT IN 1881.

The New York Sun prefgures the presi
Dental result in 1884 not only plausibly
hopefully, but with irresistible logic, thus
The main issue in the next presidential cleo
hon will be whether we shall have democratic
honest, economical administration of the gov
eminent. Can there be any doubt of the result
In a contest waged on such grounds? Let u:
look at the figures.
Gen. Hancock would have been elected if he
Aad received the 35 votes of New York. He OBJ
tanned only II in the north. The rest of his
155 came from the south.
There is not the slightest reason for suppos-
ing that any state, north or south, that sup
ported Hancock in 1891. will fail to vote for the
democratic candidate i'll ID t. If we add the
36 votes of New York to the Hancock votes,
this would determine the struggle in favor of
the democratic nominee. The six votes of Con-
necticut and the Is of Indiana would carry The
democratic majority up to a handsome figure.
Some doubtful states may also fall into line,
and make the triumph of honesty over prof1igacy
especially memorable in the history of the
country.

Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1883-08-23
lie republican party must go!
MR. RL4INE no THE .ERONT,

Quite strong current seems to be run
ming through the Republican ranks, Just
now, in favor Of President Arthur's NOM
ination in 1884. Even in Ohio, the lament
ed Garfeld's state,where antagonism might
be expected, if any where, the Republican
state convention heartily endorses Mr.. Ar
thur and his admlnistrati on, as eminently
wise, conservative and Just. And many a
leading Republican journal the accredited
organ OF Republican public opinion, seems
10 be striving to create a sentiment in
favor of Arthur. 1t Cannot charitably
be believed that this comes from patrio-
tic, bat rather from a SELFISH mercenarv
motive.
But with all these notes of
preparation, Mr.. Arthur is not destined
10 have walk-oyer triumph to a nomina-
3ion.
Formidable competitors will arise, and
chiefest among them, even, may be Mr..
Blaine. Mr.. Arthur has been long trying
TO cultivate Virginia through that non
aescript political adventurer, Malone. But
Mr.. Malone does not carry the Republi-
can party Of Virginia in his hand. He
rode INFO office on the ReadjQster crest, a
movement inspired by an attempted repu-
diation CT Vlrginia's public debt, or at
least portion of it. Mr. Arthur afiIiates
With Malone and his gang of Readiusters
in antagonism to the Republican party of
Virginia.
Mr.. Malone is not a Republican. The
Republicans of Virginia repudiate him.
He is not q Democrat The Democrats
have no sympathy with him, or confidence
in him. He is Readiuster, pure and sim
pie, partial repudiator of the state debt
He is the leader of 2 reputation faction
and it IS not a little singular, that the
President should nurse that faction. and in
SO doing turn his back upon the Republi-
can partyof the State,when he and his svco.
phantS are so carefully nursing the Repub-
Ican party in other States.
AT recent Republican State
convention in Virginia. the convention
expressed a preference, not for Chester A.
Arthur, but for James G. Blaine az pres
ldential candidate in 1884. TINS 6rin0s
Mr. Blaine to the front as a candidate for
nomination. Arthur may rely upon Ma
hone to marshal southern delegations in
his favor, but only to reap disappointment
The brief administration of Pres.
8dent Garfield favored Mahonism
