THE CONTESTED CASES.

The decision of the committee on credentials
in the contested Fifth Kentucky district case has
excited good deal of excitement and ill-feeling,
and it is said tonight the committee will recon
slider its action. If it does not, of the mem
bers of the Kentucky delegation threaten to take
the matter before the convention. 1t is stated
that the Malone delegation from Virginia will be
admitted without contest.
ON THEIR MUSCLE,
George Turner, of Alabama, this Afternoon as
saulted Brewster Cameron, ex-chief examiner OF
the United States department Of justice, in the
rotunda of the Grand Pacific hotel. Cameron
turned upon him and struck him severe blow
on the head with a cane. Hon. Paul Strobach, OF
Alabama, seeing his friend was getting the worst
OF the encounter, began punching Cameron with
his umbrella. The latter, however was fully
equal to the occasion and came out first best in
the fight. The occasion of the assault, Mr.. Cam
eron says, was evidence which he was compelled
to give before the committee on expenditures tc
the department of justice, concerning the con-
duct of certain Alabama marshals.
FOREIGN OPINION.
LONDON, June 4.-The StG7edGJd says: ''A
no time, perhaps, in the history of America, has
it been less possible to forecast the result thai
at Chicago. The voting will be simply the tri
umph of men, not victory for measure. Whatev
er the result, there are no great issues at stake
1t is difficult to say where the Republican ant
Democratic platforms differ The chief import
ance of the present convention consists IN decid
ing how far the choice of the candidate can be i'll
iuenced by the Irish faction in favor Of stirring
up i'll blood between England and America.

WON'T HAVE IT.
There has undoubtedly been a very grow
ing sentiment in favor of Gen. Sherman the
last few days, and the belief that he might be
the coming man has grown very strong in
the Arthur ranks. This has been communi-
Gated to the General and the following tele
gram has been circulated here tonight,
which am assured is authentic:
ST. LOUIS, June 4.--Gen. j. B. Henderson,
Chicago: l answered by mail last night. Please
decline any nomination for me in language strong
but courteous. Signed "W."
If he adheres to this resolution there is
one less dark horse to select from.
GOSSIP OF THE HOTELS.
AS the convention has occupied but very
little time to-day the delegates have had more
time to confab than on yesterday and the
chin music has been something appalling.
You can find almost any rumor afoat you
can imagine, except that Blaine will go over
to Arthur or vice versa. 1t is hardly worth
while to take space or time in recounting
the possibility gossip. Both Blaine
and Arthur's forces profess to be
very confident, and never SO confident as to-
night, and the friends of all the others who
have been talked of or have little following
are wearing lightning rods all over them just
for luck. If you meet an Arthur man he says
Blaine cannot be nominated, that Arthur will
commence to gain after the first ballot and
Blaine will begin to lose. If you meet a
Blaine man he will tell you it is utterly alb
surd to talk of Arthur and that the nom lent
rush. II you meet Logan or Edmunds
man he will tell you both Arthur and Blaine
are utterly out of the question, and that his
choice is the only possible name which affords
a compromise.
And so it goes, with the report that there
is detection in this delegation and a change
in that delegation until a man who attempts
to follow the stories will about conclude that
the convention will adjourn without nomi
mating any one. will not, therefore, bore
you with the details of this swash and gossip
just sit down and write almost any improb-
able lie you can think of and it will answer
the purpose of the hotel gossip of Chicago.
simply reiterate it is neither Blaine nor Ar
thur.
HOW THE WORK PROGRESSES.
The committee on credentials wrestled all
day and most of the night with their report
and the convention has waited. 1t is even
doubtful whether their full report will be
ready at 10 o'clockin the morning when the
convention meets.
The platform committee has been agitated
on the tariff plank and has finally turned it
over to a subcommittee to wrestle with it
during the night.
| 1t is certain that there will be no balloting
| tomorrow and doubt whether there will be a
nomination before Saturday. 1 begin to
think the gentleman from Nebraska was
about right when he suggested that they
spend awhole year at the job. We are bound
to fix this thing up in style if we take
the first half of Sam Tilden's administration
| to do it. You see if we don't H. P H.

night as | thought of my boy, and
looked up at his picture, an intense

Suddenly a thought came to me,

Talking to Heaven.

A mother not living very far from
the post0tfice in this city, tired with
watching over sick baby, came
down stairs for few moments the
other day for little rest. She heard
the voice of her little four year-oId
girl in the hall by herself, and curl
Gus to know to whom he she was talk
ing, stopped a moment at the half
open door. She saw the little thing
had pulled chair up in front of the
telephone and stood upon it, with the
ear-piece pressed against the side Of
her head. The earnestneSs of the
child showed that she was in no play
ful mood and thus was the conver-
Sation the mother heard, while the
tears stood thick in her eyes, the
little one carrying on both sides as if
she was repeating the answer:
"Hello -

eyes; what is it?"
"Our baby is sick, and we want
you to let it get well. Won't you
now?"
No answer, and statement and
question again repeated, finally an
sWered by a Yes"
The little one hung the ear-piece
back on its hook, clamhered down
from the chair, and. with a radiant
face, went for mother, who caught
her in her arms.

ally immoderate, was thought to be
dangerous.
The agents and examiners had no
clear conception of the danger of al
cohol, and treated the companies
views as extreme. The result was
that special examiners were sent
from the home Office to cancel all the
risks of ten thousand and inward
where the insured where found using
alcohol to any excess. Finally some
OF the companies Withdrew their
agents altogether, and do not solicit
business in certain sections. In one
case twenty. eight deaths were all
traced to the excessive use ofalcohol.
and were all paid, simply because it
was cheaper to settle than to contest,
AT a recent meeting of the Tennessee
State Board of Health, the Secretary
reported tat a Hartford %;t>ains .stance
company mad 6fdefed its agents tls..
to issue any policies in six counties of
the State, owing to the excessive
mortality of the policy holders. The
question came UP of the cause of this
mortality as no reports indicated
any special disease in this section, a
letter was addressed to the secretary
OF the company to know the reason.
The answer was that from the
amount insured lives in these coun-
ties, the average loss to the company
should be about sixty-eight thousand
dollars, when in fact it was over one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars
more than double the loss of any
other section, and that without any
special cause of epidemic disease.
The real explanation was the want
of care in taking risks and the num-
her Of inebriates who had been taken
as proper cases. 1t is the same old
b|under ofsupposing inebriety to be
a mere vice at the control of the vic.
tim, and in no way periling life un-
less used to great extremes.-Joura,

Insurance Risks in Inebriety.

The well-known fact that life in.
surance companies find excessive
mortality in their risks in certain sec
tions of the South and Southwest has
been the subject of some interests
lately. Several of the Hartford com
panies who have examined the facts
have found that mortality came di-
rectly from inebriety, and was due to
the liberal Interpretation of the
agents, who did not realize that any
risk of inehriety was perilous unless
the insured had suffered from de!iri-
um tremens many times. No use of
alchohol, either moderate or OCCASION

To Kill the Taste for Alcohol.

There are many drinkers who can
break up the habit for a time, and
would gladly refrain from ever touch
ing it again, but an uncomfortable
thirst for the beverage attacks them
and never lets up until they give
