A motion that the Committee appoint
one man in each precinct to act with the
County Central Committee, and, under
favorable numbers to constitute q,tOr-
EN-, was carried. ~
Mai. Mensch arose here and made
statement Of the a1ate of registration ~
fairs in this precinct, and the Chairman
suggested that the Central COMMITTEES
look into the matter It seemed to be
the sense OF the Convention that tile
Central Committee should attend 10 this
matter and see that there was no posi-
bility OF having the vote Of this precinct
contested. bl1 aoittt iao1s
The Chairman recommended, MT the
suggestion OF Mr.. Watt, that the dele
gates of each precinct should meet ut
some subsequent time to nominate pre-
cinct officers, such us Justice OF the
Peace and Constable. '3--' n
The business OF the Convention hav-
| ing apparently drawn to a close hearty
vote OF thanks was rendered to the
Chairman, Mr.. Clohecy, for the able and
proficient manner in which he conduct
ed the business OF the Convention The
same homer was also extended to the
Secretaries, Messrs. Jones and JOHN
son.
1t was also moved and carried that a
vote OF thanks be given Mr.. James
Fitzsimmons for his great kindness in
opening to the Convention free of
charge, Fitzsimmons Metropolitan Hall.
Mr.. Murphy, the generous and witty
delegate from Haley here offered TO
meet personally all the excess of ex-
pense to the Convention, but there be-
ing none, his purse was undisturbed.
Mr.. BUTLER, joined by the Conven-
ton, gave three cheers for the pemoc-
! Of
adjourn.
Mr.. Clohecy called attention to the
fact that Mr.. Ganahl wished to address
the Convention. sIr. Gnnahl being alb
sent temporarily there was silence 10, II
few seconds and then cries of 'Ha~lry.
Mr. Hawley excused himself.
Before putting the motion to adjourn
there were cries of ''Cloheeyw Mr..
Clohecy spoke very ably for n few mo-
ments, showing himself to bea Democrat
to the core. During his speech there
were cries Of 'fire." and some little dis
turbance ensued, but quiet was soon re-
stored. His closing sentence we give
verbatum. ''Let us all work with sin
gle purpose towards success.
l hope that at the close OF the Noyem-
Der election, with you and among you
can give three cheers because we beat
en-" as
Mr.. Ganahl then appeared and was es
corted to the rostrum. His speech mus
be admitted to be the great oratorica
feature of the evening. We are sorry
being unable to produce it in print, bu
remember that he said, and it appealet
to our sympathies, that he ''hnd beel
slaughted in every move of the bull
fight, but finally did succeed in get
ting one Dutchman, Geo, Kohlcpp, 70
Commissioner"
At the close of Mr.. Ganahls eloquent
speech, Mr.. Butler and others were call
ed upon, but no further remarks detain
ed the Convention. ~ cf

NOTES.

NOTES.
The work Of the Convention, it be-
came apparent, was too much to trans
act in one session and ut GAO o'clock
there still being a number of nom
nations to make an adjournment was
made.
Mr.. T. E. Clobecy handled the
convention as an able helmsman and
succeeded in restoring the house to or
der at times when other voices shouted
in vain to be heard.
Many delegates were anxious to fin
ish up the job before adjourning, but it
was an utter impossibility, and all hands
concluded to have supper.
Succeeding the adjournment the
Ketchum band played several selections
from the balcony of the hail.
Among the candidates for District At
torney, A. NJ. Funkhouser, made very
able speech before the Convention, and
Notwithstanding his comparatively short
residence among us, received very
strong support for the nomination. He
was given the largest vote ON the first
ballot and nearly tie with Mr.. Ruick
on the second. Mr.. Funkhouser is
probably like one of those articles that
improve with time and acquaintance.
One honest Democrat at the Conyen-
ton got up and said 81 come into this
convention true and solid Democrat,
and if ony mon thinks that I'm to be
bot and sold he's dazy."
Mr.. f. Ghanal, in one of his speeches
said: 81 asked question in this con-
vention in gentlemanly way and got
n rufilan retort thrown into my teeth.
4 Mr.. Davis, to whom he alluded, arose
and apologized to the Convention, en-
phatically excluding from his opology

A Conscientious Conductor.
Life.


GLOW did 1 become superintendent ?''
answered the railroad official. "Why, it
was this way: 1 was conductor of the
morning passenger express, and one day
as we were coming down by the junction
we struck a misplaced switch and ran
into freight that was standing on the
siding. AS we were running about thirty
five miles an hour of course it piled
things up good deal. Our engine was
smashed all to pieces, the smoker tele-
scOped the baggage car and the forward
passenger coach ran up on the heap and
rolled over. I was standing on the plat
form at the time the thing happened,
and luckily was slung off about thirty
feet beside the track. When 1 picked
myself up everything was confusion, the
air was filled with clouds of escaping
steam, and about fifty passengers were
somewhere in the wreck. OF course it
was what you might call an emergency
but there is no such word as that in the
company's dictionary. I had my orders
and knew what to do. The roof of the
smoking car lay near me, and heard
man crying out from underneath 1t.
After ten minutes work l had the stuff
all cleared away and reached him. He
was very weak and groaning. oh,
heavensP he said, this timber presses on
me so can't move. Both my legs are
broken below the knee Think you'll
be here till the next train% I asked.
'Oh, yes,' he moaned. Then you'll need
a stop-over check, sir said, and I made
out a pasteboard check and gave il to
him. Young man. he said, i observe
that you have neglected to fill in the day
of the month, but under the circum
stances your omission is excusable.

survive your attention to duty shall be
rewarded The old gentleman pulled
through, and is .ssnow vice president.
That's how I'm superintendent. And"

help him out now he's my husband"
Mr. Wolfe stared, and his countenance
underwent a series of expressions. Then
he gave a short laugh, and calculated
"Great Scott! IF this doesn't beat all!'
Then, severely: where's your marriage
certificate, Helie ?"
"Here, papa"
every well. my dear. Lawson, you're
as bad crank as your father, bless him.
But, of course, I'll have to forgive you

didn't remember you. Been abroad two
years, haven't you? Helie has been
shut up in boarding school; that's what
makes her so romantic"
"But, papa"

talk-if he has fooled you. You ought to
be glad I'm so pleased"
Andso Mr.. Lawson found himself COB
bled up in short order, and blessed as
well as forgiven by his mOther-in-law.
Then they all set off for the hotel in
high spirits.

tinue. She thinks it awfully jolly"

Postscript-It occurs to me that the
whole affair may have been a preconcert-
ed plot. Girls and their mammas so of
ten understand each other nowadays
and Laura Dodge used to say that Hello
was perfect little devil" However
as far as Mr.. Lawson's affections were
concerned, every one said it was a clear
case"

More Relics of an Extinct Race of Men
Found in an Arizona Canyon.
A Washington dispatch, dated January
8, to the New York Sun says: Mr.. James
Stevenson, of the Geological Survey, has
reported to Major Powell, as one of the
results of his last seasons field operations,
the discovery of several more ruined cave
and cliff cities, differing in some respects
from any he had before examined. The
most remarkable was a village of sixty
five underground dwellings situated near
the summit of one of the volcanic foot
hills of the San Francisco Mountains, in
the San Juan regions of Arizona. The
surface stratum of the hill had, by ex-
posure, become hardened, and formed the
common roof for the entire community.
The dwellings were excavated after a
common pattern, and description OF one
gives an idea Of the whole. They had no
intercommunication beneath the surface
and were only accessible by means OF
square holes leading from the surface by
a vertical shaft to the floor of the main
room of the dwelling. Holes cut at con-
venient distances along the sides of the
shaft served the purposes of a stairway.
Descending the shaft, the explorers found
themselves at the side ofan oval-shaped,
arch-roofed room about twenty feet In Its
smallest diameter. At the ends and on
the side opposite the entrance low door
WAYS connected the main room with
smaller rooms, the whole suite consisting
of four apartments.

THE SWAIN INQUIRY.
An Army Poker Club Believed To Be Hidden
Behind the Present Case.

An Army Poker Club Believed To Be Hidden
Behind the Present Case.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 19.-It is the impression
here that the court ofinquiry which has been for
some time looking into Judge Advocate general
Swaim's account with Banker Bateman will call
for court martial Should this be done il is
hardly probable that General Swain will be
found guilty; but it may be taken for granted
that the court of inquiry believes there is an
army poker club here that should be investi--
gated, and that it believes the best way to do it
is by court martial, havingas pretext another
matter to look into.
Rumors have been going the rounds during
the past week regarding the operations of this
army club 1t is said that one of the main rea-
sons that Secretary Lincoln ordered, or recon-
mended to the President the ordering of the
court of inquiry was because it had been Cos
siped that he knew of the existence of an army
poker club; that he not only winked at it. but
frequently took "a turn at draw with the boys,
and not infrequently enjoyed pleasant even
ings at the rooms. 1t is said further that as
soon as Secretary Lincoln heard of these reports
he determined that the first Opportuni-
ty that offered would be embraced to
prove to the country that he not only did not
have any connection with such an institution,
but that he discountenauced it Further, that he
wants the inquiry handed over to a court-mar-
tial with instructions So broad and power so ex-
tended that it can investigate everything that
has aided this poker club business. Really, it
now looks like there might be series of sensa-
tions grow out of court martial investigation,
for the success of court martial would depend
largely upon the success the prosecution would
meet with in securing state s evidence
General Swaim the subject of the inquiry
now, is one of the widestknown men in the
country. His reputation achieved mostly
during the Illness of President Garfield, whose
most intimate friend he was. He was raised in
the Western Reserve OF Ohio, and knew Garfield
