M4-A horrible accident occurred in the large
storage warehouse of Messrs. VIM. E. Hooper &
Sons, south Gay street, Baltimore, at o'clock on
Friday afternoon of last week. The building was
filed with cotton duck from the Woodbury. mills,
cotton, &C., and ct the hour named suddenly the
upper floor gave way and came crashing down,
carrying everything with it. There we're num-
Der of persons in the warehouse at the time, en-
ployees of the Messrs. Hooper and of the firm of
Messrs. Long Dugdale, who also had an office
in the building, six of whom were buried in the
debris and either sufocated or terribly mangled
by the heavy timbers, &c. Several others were
seriously hurt and number miraculously escaped
with their lives. Two of the bodies were gotten
out after the accident, but it required several
days of hard work before the others could be
reached, as they were deeply buried beneath an
immense pile of broken timbers, bricks and bales
of goods. The cause of the accident will perhaps
never be definitely known, but it is generally be-
lieved that the timbers had become worm-eaten
and were unable to Withstand the immense weight
placed upon them. The warehouse was built in
1854 and was one Of the finest and most substan-
Deford family and was leased few years ago by
the Messrs. Hooper, who used it for storage pur
poses. 1t is now almost q total wreck. There
were four or five hundred thousand dollars worth
of goods in it at the time of the catastrophy, and
all were gotten out without being seriously dam
aged The affair created great excitement in the
city and thousands of people daily inspected the
ruius.

M8-The National Democratic convention will
meet at Chicago on the sth of July. 1t is now
generally conceded that Tiden will be the nomi-
is considerable opposition to him on the ground
that he is too old and that he is not as strong as
he was in 1876. Gov. Cleveland, of New York, is
also prominently named, as well as Senator
Bayard, of Delaware. The latter is very popular
in some sections of the country, but it is claimed
by some that he halls from too small State
which is counted as Democratic under any circum-
stances-ever to receive the nomination. 1t looks
very much as though Tilden will be again called
upon to lead the forlorn hope of the Democracy,
and should he be the nominee we have heard
well-informed Democrats declare that it will be a
losing fight for them from the jump.

@-The Paterson IN. J.) Guardian, referring
to the failure for 900 of newspaper started
eighteen months ago as a rival to the old Cincin-
natl Enquirer, derives the moral that "it is a
mighty hard job to run successful opposition to
a wel-established newspaper, just because certain
individuals, interests or cques cannot control its
columns" This is but emphasizing fact that
has been generally recognized for long while
However, experience is often necessary to demon
strate it to those who are more ambitious than

Ms~The letter of the modest Clerk of the Cir
cult Court published in the Journal of 30th ult.,
did not have the desired effect. The county con-
vention met and elected delegates to the State
convention who voted for men for the National
convention who were willing to go there and "pay
their own expenses" without proclaiming that
fact before the people in advance. 1t appears
that there are few left who are not Democrats
"for revenue only" They are willing to serve
their party in an emergency of this kind, and dc
it cat their own expense"
