III may not be generally known
thatMr Edward Thieman, who re-
sides in the eastern suburbs of this
city, is the owner of a pair Of the
finest thoroughbred Jersey cattle in
the State. As their names, Lord
Fairfax" and Amy Robsart, in
dictate, they are named after descen-
dants from the peerage and can tru-
ly boast pedigree almost equalling
that of an English baron. They are
regularly registered in the American
Jersey Cattle Club herd register GER
tificates of which are in possession
of the owners, and no better guaran-
tee of genuineness can be adduced,
as this is preferment enjoyed only
by those whose lineage is unmistak-
ably certain. "Lord Fairfax" was
placed on exhibition at Hagerstown
last autumn, in competition with
the finest Jersey cattle in southern
Pennsylvania, Maryland and West
Virginia, and was awarded the first
premium by skillful and competent
judges, Notwithstanding the fact
that among those competing was one
for which the owner refused $4,000.
This strain of cattle are noted for
their butter making qualities, for
which purpose they are uneaqualled.
This fact accounts for the high price
frequently paid for them by cattle
fanciers and dairymen. Our farm
ers would do we'll to initiate the ex
ample of Mr.. Thieman, and in a lit
tie time they will find themselves
amply repaid for their trouble, as
the cost of housing, feeding and
caring for good stock is no more
than is required for the common
herd, whilst the profits accruing are
much larger.

HON. GEORGE CoLToN's Lee
TURE.-The lecture of Hon. George
Cotton, of Baltimore. in the Southern
Methodist church Tuesday night.
was one of the most interesting we
have listened to for long time.
Mr.. Cotton is practical man, and
his lecture, while interspersed with
many flights of genuine eloquence,
contained also some pungent hits at
the prevailing follies of the age, and
was full of good sound, practical ad-
vice to both young and grown up
men and women. The church was
crowded with an appreciative audi
ence, and so far as we can learn all
were highly interested and pleased
with the evenings entertainment.

| New York, June lS.--The New York
democrats, in convention assembled.
decided that, upon the whole, they have
no favorite son to present for the presi
dental nomination in response to the
call Of their brethren Of other states.
There was no square trial Of strength
between Cleveland and Flower. In that
respect the battle was drawn. There
was no attempt to name the choice Of the
party, and to that extent Cleveland
showed weakness, for he had expected
he would be formally presented to the
country by this convention. Neverthe
less, Flowers candidacy is nipped in the
bud, and with unit rule anil fair
claim to a majority Of the delegates,
Cleveland will turn up at Chicago with
as good q chance as anybody for the
| nomination. True, the national delega-
tion is claimed by both Cleveland and
Flower, but .he best informed politicians
on the ground estimate that it stands
Cleveland Al, ant. Cleveland 81. or the
anti Cleveland men only FIVE openly
declared for Flower; of the remaining
twenty-tix nine profess to he unpledged.
and the others are divided between
Bayard, Randall, Mcdonald and Slocum,
with a strong contingent easily within
Cleveland's reach. Dan Manning, Cleve-
lands chief Of staff, claims tonight that
before the 9Th of July fifty.five delegates
will be outspoken if his support and
New York will give him with her solid
vote at Chicago all the state he needs to
win the race. The highest number Of
votes that the Cleveland managers al.
low Flower under any circumstances is
ten. Tammany is still anti.Cleveland,
but, being in good humor over the con-
cesson made today in view Of their
bluff last night, may yet wheel into line.
Kelly, however, has not surrendered,
and it is certain that II his demands for
equal representation with the County
Democracy had not been complied with,
he would have bolted to-day without
even going before the committee on cre-
dentials. 1t is believed that the nomi-
nation Of Flower for governor will be
the price Of his disappearance from the
field entirely and the anti Cleveland
fight will then be made il at all, under
the name Of a candidate from another
state, probably Bayarl OF Deleware.

Washington, Telegram, juno H.
The Democratic members Of congress
are earnestly trying to secure an ad-
journment before the national conven-
tion and are now all pulling together TO
accomplish that end. They cannot do
much except pass the appropriation
bills, but perhaps it is we'll that they do
not 90 into legislation. as they have done
nothing but mischief in that line 80 far
The wisest men in the party are endeav-
oring to get through as soon as possible
and are pushing the appropriation bills.
The last of them will be disposed Of by
the house next week and the conference
committee, which has been quarreling
over those which have been passed, are
beginning to come to an agreement. The
shipping bill, which has been as stoutly
contested as any, is likely to 90 through
il the senate will surrender the subsidy
clause, and the house the free ship clause.
On the naval bill it will be more difficult
to agree, as the Republicans are deter
mined to adhere to the appropriation of
100000 for building up the navy.
which was endorsed by the national con-
vention and will undoubtedly receive
cordial approval On Blaine's letter Of &C.

Garrison Fails.

New York, June 20.-Commodore
Cornelius X. Garrison to-day filed an as
sgnmcnt in the county clerks Office to
John T. Terry, OF f. D. Morgan & Co. !;
preferences, $63I $3.50. Garrison is well
known as formerly deeply interested in
the Pacific Mail, New Orleans and West
India steamship lines. He is also known
to be the largest stockholder in profita-
bIe gas companies Of this city and st.
Louis and New Orleans. He was the
principal owner Of Missouri Pacific, but
sold out few years ago to Jay Gould.
He has been interested lately in numer.
Gus railway schemes. He was formerly
n resident Of st. Louis, and made the
bulk Of his fortune prior to the rebellion.
The amount involved by the failure is
supposed to be $5,OO0,O00. The prefer
ences amount to $63l 900. Assignee
Terry said is was impossible yet to state
the figures. The effect on Wall street
was to still more unsettle things, though
to not so great An extent as feared. II
il said that Garrison is not very largely
interested in stock, his fancy being for
gas stocks and outside specialties. Stocks
fell of to points, but no failures be-
ing reported. A prominent banker said:
1.-THE effect of the failure, coming as it
does now, will naturally unsettle things,
and in fact stocks cannot 60 any lower
without killing and hurting some one.
I think the failure rather a good thing
than otherwise, for it will distribute
large amount Of money among different
people. Men like Vanderbilt and Gar
rison do not stop at an accumulation Of
81, ,00O. 900. S3,000,000 or S5,000,00o, but
they run it up to $4,000. .0O0 or SIC, 0,OOO,-
600. This is wrong, and the distribu-
tion of such large amounts will benefit
the people. 1t is hinted on Wall street
that, should the decision in the Marie
Garrison case be adverse TO MIR. Garrison,
an assignment. made just at this time,
might save him considerable future LOSE.

Welcome Nino.

George King. superintendent, and Mr..
Conway who opperated the Sergeant
pulverizer on Welcome ore were in the
city yesterday.
In q conversation with Mr.. King, q
Pioneer reporter learned many things
in regard to the situation up at the new
plant. In regard to the Sergeant pul.
verizer, Of which so much has been said,
that broke all to pieces on the trial run,
he says the metal composing the MA
chine was but three-Quarters Of an inch
in thickness and the strain on 1t was too
great. Another machine has been
made, that is three or four times heavier
and he thinks nothing 10 to prevent its
being a success as an ore crusher. This
new machine Is now en- route for the
Hills, and upon its arrival it will be
started up in the same place the other
failed.
A telegram was received yesterday
from Mr.. Waite, president Of the Wei
come company. that Black Plant had
been contracted for, that would arrive
here by August lst at the latest.
The Sergeant pulverizer crushed
twelve and a half tons of ore before
breaking, and Of this amount three
fourths passed through a number 80
screen and the balance Of it through q
screen 80, to "a. The pulp WAS treated
and the result was $46 to the ton. prin-
cipal gold The tailings were assayed
and went $500 per ton, and this part
that vas not saved, Mr.. King thinks,
came from the coarser crushed ore In
which the gold was not liberated.
The ore of the Welcome mine IL evil
IDENTIFY high grade. and there will be
some process adopted that will liberate
and cave it from the rock, and we hope
the machine they have coming will en-.
tirely all the bill.-Pioneer, Path.
