AN ODESSA HoRRoR,-A few weeks

AN ODESSA HoRRoR,-A few weeks
ago seven girls employed in a sugar fac
tory in Balta, near Odessa, in Russia, left
that town in the evening to return to
their native village at some distance.
The girls belated on the way resolved to
pass the night in the field and proceed at
day break. They had located themselves
near baystack in field adjoining the
highway, and, having some slight fears
OF robbery, placed their united weeks
earnings in the hands of one of their
number Tor greater safety. The unfortu-
nate girls were all fast asleep, when they
were tracked by number of young men.
The young girl who had secreted the
money in her dress had5 taken the
precaution to cover herself with hay.
The miscre9nts, finding no money on the
other six girls, murdered them in cold
blood. They then fired the stack, and in
the confagration and smoke the surviv-
ing and terrified girl effected her escape
and reached the village in safety. An
alarm was given and the murderous band
was all arrested The survivor had recog-
nized the murderers, who were all EN-.
ployed in the same factory as their vic

No other complaints are so insidious in their

none so trihed with by the majority of suffer

perhaps from a trifing or unconscious ex-

OF the inhabitants About q score, however incind.

ter positively declining to be q candidate
which will be read before the New York state

Mr.. Tilden himself by Charles A. Dana, at
Mr.. Dorsheimer's request, because the DEM

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION,
JAMES G. BLAINE NOMINATED.
lie Wins on the 4th Ballot To-day,
After - siN-Hours' session Of Great
Excitement

MIR. EDMuNDs's SUPPORTERS WIN UNIVERSAL
RESPECT by THEIR F1BM AND DIGNHGED
BEARING.
The great bulk of delegates to the Repub-
lican national convention at Chicago arrived
on the ground on Friday and Saturday last.
The Sunday trains brought in the last OF the
belated delegates and the hours of that day
and night we're not by any means devoted en-
tirely 10 religious observances. On Monday
the excitement began TO work up to fever
heat The Blaine men we're the most active
and prominent among the workers, as they
were also the loudest and most boastful in
their claims for their candidate. The Arthur
men ranked next, and third on the list in nu-
merical strength were the Edmunds men-a
strong, dignihed, self-contained body of men,
who were determined, il they could not Be-
cure the nomination of Mr.. Edmunds, to so
WELD their strength, at least, as to carry the
nomination to some man who should repre-
sent the real principles of Republication, and
be acceptable to the great mass of his party.
During the morning the Edmunds men held q
rally at the Massachusetts headquarters, and
decided to hold together as a body until the
critical hour should arrive. Senator Hoar Of
Massachusetts, presided, and speeches were
made by eX-Gov. Smith and Frederick Billings
OF Vermont, ex-Gov. Long and Henry Cabot
Lodge of Massachusetts,, George William Cur
tbs, Theodore Roosevelt and President A. D.
White (ot Cornell University, of New York,
and by other well known gentlemen.
II was announced during the day that the
national committee had decided to admit the
Malone. Republican delegation from Virginia,
and also to present ex Senator Clayton of Ar
kansas for temporary chairman of the con
vention. This latter announcement brought
out storm of indignant protest. To begin
WITH the selection Of Clayton was believed to
be piece of crafty work on the part of the
Blaine men, and in the next place his selec.
ton was looked upon as an aTront to the bet
| ter sentiment of the Republican party, owing
to his malodorous record as one Of the scala
wag carpet baggers of the reconstruction pc
Rod. When the convention met on Tuesday,
Clayton's election was defeated, through the
bold stand taken by the Edmunds men, as re-
| lated below.

The National ConYentinn.

At the hour of going to press the Republi-
can National convention is in the midst of its
fourth days proceedings. All the prelimi-
nary business was completed last night, and
the several candidates were formally nomi-
mated. To-day the balloting begins and in
telligence is looked for with intense interest.
No reliable forecast of the final result can be
made. The Blaine men are in the lead, and
loudly proclaim their confidence, but they ev-
identity realize the danger that their candi-
dates greatest strength will be shown at the
start and then fall away. The EdmundG men
hold firmly together and are determined first
of all to prevent Mr.. Blaine's nomination.
The platform adopted declares, in its main
points, for protection, for civil-service re-
form, for railway regulation by the govern
ment and for a national labor bureau 1t de-
nounees Southern fraud and violence, and de-
clares strongly against the Mormons.

The Democratic state Convention.

There was a large attendance at the Demo-
cratic state convention held at Montpelier on
Wednesday-471 delegates being present.

For governor, Lyman W. Redington of Rut-

st. Johnsbury secretary of state, H. f.
Brigham of Bakersfield; treasurer, Henry
Gillett of Richmond auditor, c. S. Noyes
of Morristown ; delegates at large to the ma
tional convention at Chicago, B. B. Smalley
of Burlington, John @. Burke of Albany, F.
II. Bascom of Montpelier, Amos Aldrich of
Woodford. The First district convention
nominated George A. Simons of Bennington
for Congress, j. d. Hanrahan of Rutland
and James Brown of South Hero for dele
gates to Chicago. The Second district con-
vention nominated NJ. II. Goddard of Lud-
low for Congress and George L. Spear OF
Braintree and William A. Richardson dele
gates to Chicago. Every mention of Til
denis name was greeted with rounds of ap-
plause. The platform favors tariff revision
and opposes lowering the tax on tobacco and
whiskey; it favors high license liquor Law,
and, strange to say, denounces the Repubi-
can party as "a party of extravaganza, cor
ruption and fraud"
