The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1884-08-09

The CONCERT last night at Academy
Hall was brilliant success every
way. The hall was full, the audience
appreciative and the music excellent
beyond expectation. The concert
was under the direction of DR.. and
Mrs. Martin of New York, assisted
by Miss M. Halle Mygatt and Mr..
c. |. Cole also of New York, and by
Mrs. G. w. Lazear and Misses Mary
Hagans and Ida Rinehart of Nor
gantown; also the Morgantown or
ehestra The effort was eminently
worry of better hall. Miss Mygatt
and Mrs. Martin were each encored
and gracefully responded. Mrs. La
zear and Misses Hagans and Rine-
hart were also called q second time.
Miss Mygatts voice is clear, sweet,
of good compass and well cultivated.
She brought down the house in
rounds Of applause. DR.. Martins
voice is something wonderful. Our
best critics say that nothing like it
has ever been heard in Morgantown,
at least not within living memory.
Itis-well, it is like ayoung thunder,
caught, tanned and made musical He
does not strain himself Que is i'm
pressed with the feeling that there is
reserve force, n home guard, so to
speak, which he does not have to call
into requisition. Mrs. Martin was
the pianist and "did herself proud"
She was warmly cheered. Mr.. Coles
voice, though not so strong and full
as Dr.. Martins, was nevertheless,
deep and rich and pleased the audi
ence exceedingly. The efforts of the
home talent, both vocal and instru-
mental, were highly appreciated. All
la all Ii was a decided hit

What T'iIden Wishes.

CHICAGO, July 4.-"DIr. Tilden has
not written any letter to be presented in
the contingency of his nomination here"
said G.. +. Peck, of New York, this
evening, but / think know how the
report originated that he had done so.
Just one week ago Messrs Manning and
Magone called on him and received an
authorization TO speak for him concern
ing Mr.. Cleyeland's candidacy. / am
not at liberty to say whether the author.
ity was given in writing, but it is in such
form as to satisfy any one whom they
desire to convince. Mr.. Tildep Ielt that
it would be very indelicatc in him to
volunteer any advice to the Convention
as to what il should do, but he knew that
great many delegates would probably
desire to know what his judgment rs to
candidates was. Nessrs. Manning aud
Magone, therefore, were authorized to
say 10 all delegates who came to consult
them as to MIR. Tilden's views, that he
believed Governor Cleveland was the
man for the emergency. This in forma-
!ion is to be given only when asked for
by delegates"
Senator herman said to-day: "rilden
does not want the compliment OF NOM
ination. He thinks it would be against
the interests of the party to do anything
of the sort. On Monday next we shall
probably try to get all those delegate
who are friendly to Tilden together and
they will then be assured, in u manner
that they cannot doubt, of Mr.. Tilden's
wishes In this respect. II the party sees
fit by appropriate resolution to recognize
Tilden's eminent services it would be q
proper and graceful thing to do. Moth.
ing more than that would be acceptable
to Mr.. Tilden"
"Is Cleveland Mr.. Tilden's choice for
the Presidency" ?"
"You can say at least" answered the
Senator, ''that ali AIr. Tilden's friends
here are for Cleveland including $. ].
Tilden, Jr. From that fact you can
draw your own differences"
Mr.. Smith NJ. Weed and EdwRrd
Cooper made practically similar state
ments. All his intimate friends say that
Il complimentary nomination is not at all
desired by Mr.. Tilden and that the ides
is strongly condemned by him.-Specia

Surrendcrlng n Lease.

COLUMBIA, July ga rumor reached
here to-day that the Columbia and
Greenyille Railroad intended to yelin-
Quish its lense of the Spartnnburg, Union
and Columbia Railroad. The represep-
,tatiye of tho Sunday Nems called on
President A. G. Haskell, of the Green
Vile Road, for information. He said ::
"Thc Columbia md Greenyilc Railroad
has given no.ice to the lessons of the
Spartanburg, Union and Columbia Rail.
road that it will surrender The road with.
in sixty days from July L."
"What is the cause of this action ?'
"The reason is that the most valuable
rights aud privileges have been taken
from the Spartanburg, Union and Co
iuuibia Railroad Company BY legislative
'enactmcnts and tho rulings Of the Rail-
road Commissioners, and the property is
thus deprived of the value which it had
e. the time the lease was effected"
President Haskell declined IL say
more than this. From another source it
ia learned that the lease has been very
Improbable to tho Columbia and Green :
vile Road. It was effected April /, 1881,
and was for ninety nine years ut fifty
thousand dollars year, The lease was
terminated after sixty days notice under
tho conditions Of the contract. The
lessons, the Spartanburg, Union and Co
lumbia Railroad Company, will doubtless
take charge Of the road within sixty
days. The line may pay small profit
on its original cost, but cannot yield
enough to cover rental of fly thousand
dollays.-Special dispatch to the Sundos

The Columbia Canal.

The recent heavy rains, in addition to
the damage by those of the week before,
inflicted loss of two or three weeks'
work On the canal. A large area of
earth work where the outside wall would
have been connected and built beyond
danger by the LIST of July was washed
away and the railroad tracks for tho
dump cars have been badly torn up. A
wire rope which was stretched acrtss the
river tO hold up derrick was cut in two
by huge log which the rushing waters
hurled against it and the derrick fell
The convicts were yesterday repairing
the damage done by the freshet, where
the receding waters would permit them
to work. In three weeks the outside Of
rip.rap wall and its earth backing will be
completed to Elmwood avenue.
a small section of lard granite only
remains to be blasted from the canal,
about the foot of Richland street, when
earth and soft stone only will be to con-
tend with up to Elmwood avenue.
The large blocks of cut granite in the
old canal, where the locks were located,
will be taken away at an early day and
used in the construction Of the large
waste weir.
The Superintendent is laying tracks
and building dump cars TO rem owe the
hill near EImwood avenue, which will
disappear like snow before the sun when
the full force commences to move It.

The Democratic National Convention
has proceeded very slowly, md although
we have delayed the publication of the
lNTELLIGENcER one day, still SIC are
unable TO give our readers anything more
definite than list of the names present
ed to the Convention. Any speculation
at this time is mere guess work, and
would be of little value.
a At the opening Of the Convention ap-
pearauces indicated the easy nomination
of Governor Cleveland, but there are
evidences of waning strength OH his part
which makes his prospects less fnttcrng.
Mcssrs. Bayard, Thurman and Randall
are represented as gaining rapidly and
things are thoroughly mixed. Buffers
name will not be presented. If the
nomination is not made from the candi.
iotes mentioned, Judge Fields and Hon.
Abram S. Hewitt are in training as dark
horscs. The next twenty. four hours will
determine tho nomination. From the
names presented, the Convention cannot
do otherwise than nominate a strong
candidate.
The tariff plank likely to be adopted
is conservative, and satisfactory TO all
except the extremists OIL each side, and
IL adopted without division will place
the party in good fighting position for
the campaign.

saying in al interview in response TO the
inquiry what he thought of the Demo-
cratic outlook 81 believe Bayard is
the best man, but guess the Democrats
will have 10 nominate e man who has q
record, on the other side in the late war.
My opinion is that no Democrat can be
elected this year and never can be until
the party gets leader. AS it Is now
their lenders don't lead. The party is
without policy and without a leader,
and it is impossible for it to accomplish
anything under that state of affairs. AS
to the report that he was about to resign
the United States marshalship, Gen.
Longstrcet said There is no truth in
such report. would bc glad enough

night, at 8 p. III. Col. r. A. Thomp.
son, of Walhalla, presided, and G. w.
Taylor, Esq, of Pickens, was elected

placed in nomination for Solicitor of the
Eighth Circuit the incumbent, Col.

speaker made eloquent illusions to Col.
Orr's legal ability and fitness for the

xable circumstance that the appoint.
ment of Col. Orr to the solicitorship by
Governor Hagood had met with the
unanimous approval and endorsement of
this district. The nomination was sec.
onded y Mr.. John S. Werner, of Oco.
nee, who warmly recounted the record OF
Col. Orr in the remarkable contest OF

Mackey House, which was the last grip
of Republican corruption upon the affairs

added remarks in praise Of Col Orr

The Reception Of Gen. Butler.

The reception of General Butler in
Chicago on Saturday night, was of a
highly dramatic character. Upon the
arrival of the train at the depot, the
general was received by the committee,
and was hurriedly taken to the Palmer
House. The demonstration, however,
did not take place until nearly ten o'clock,
when the labor societies, representing
bricklayers, horseshoers, seamen and the
varioas Typographical unions selected
Market street as n rendezvous, and from
there proceeded to the Palmer House by
circuitous route, along which were
large, waiting crowds. The marching
column numbered about three thousand,
and carried n variety of transparencies,
all of which bore the face uf Bui!aF,
supplemented with such sentiments as
Labor needs statesman" elf am
not for you. am against you-Butler to
the factory czars of Lowell" "The
workingmen welcome Butler" Toward
the rear of the column was burne aloft
mammoth spoon, nn which was in.
scribed "Butler will feed you ALL" The
extreme rear of the line was made up of
broom brigade. displaying the device,
