HOW TO GET IN.
Ticket Arrangements for the Repub-
ican National Convention.


CHICAGO, April 27.-From some state
ments that have been published misappre-
tensions have arisen as to the distribution of
tickets to the Republican National conven-
ton. In order to correct these and to in
form those desiring to attend how they are
TO be obtained, as well as to save the several
committees time and labor in answering re-
quests for them, we will state just what will
be done so far as at present determined by
the several committees. The tickets are be-
ing prepared under the supervision of
the subcommittee of the National
committee They will be engraved, and with
coupons for each probable session of the con-
vention. The tickets will be numbered and
allotted to particular seats as is done in
theatres and opera houses. The owner will
retain his ticket and as the coupons will be
for the successive sessions of the convention
this will prevent more than one person OBJ
tanning admittance at any one session on the
same ticket. A limited number of tickets
have been set apart for those who subscribe to

Arthur and the Virginia Delegation
Special Telegram to the Globe


WASHINGTON, April 27.-A Richmond cor
respondent of the Star, in a letter summing
up the lights and shades of the recent con-
vention Of the Readjusters, says of the six
delegates-at-large: editor Yost, of Staun-
ton, is an old friend Of Blaines and a former
straight out. He is known to have expressed
the opinion, minute after the election, that
Arthur had little or no chance for the nom
nation. He was also unfriendly to the
adoption of the unit rule. w. II. Pleasts,
colored, is not very firm in the Arthur faith.
The other delegates are for Ar
thur, although Colonel Brady is known
to have little or no expectation Of
Arthur's nomination. Such, however, is the
influence of General Malone, and such the
strategy of his skilful aid-de-camp Brady,
that they viii hold as long perhaps as they shall
wish to DO so, considerable majority of the
delegates TO Arthur. There are several, how
ever, whom they are likely to find unman-
agable. In conclusion, it is only fair to
state, that General Malone is once more at
the head of most powerful and confident
organization and that his followers appear to
have entirely recovered from the defeat of
last year.

LITTLE ROCK.

Rains All Night

Thc Arkansas Rising kRD1tIY-S1eatiY
Rains All Night
LITTLE Rock, February l2.-The Little
Rock and Fort Smith railroad bridge across
the bayou this side of Ozark was washed
away by the flood, and one-fOurth of a
mile of track was covered by water by a
ledge of rock giving way. A portion of
the track was carried into the river. A
steady rain all night and this morning.
The Arkansas is rising rapidly this fore
noon, and it is beginning to be believed
that by night the water will be higher
here than for several years.
Nighi.-The rise in the Arkansas at this
point is five feet for the twenty-foIr hours
ending at o'clock this afternoon, and
rising since two inches an hour. The wa
ter is plowing everywhere over the lowest
portions OF Argenta, and houses on the
river bank are reached by skilTs. Back
water has formed an extensive lake
in the rear OF the town. No
damage on the Little Rock side,
though many goods were removed from
stores on the levee, and the water is now
higher than for many years. There was a
second land slide on the Little Rock and
Fort Smith railway this afternoon, hurl-
ing immense quantities of rock, earth and
trees into the river, and it will be sew
eral days before trains resume. Several hun
ulSi lhSh are WI ming W IeplatCc lllc DIluSc
near Ozark. The track is still reported all
right from Little Rock to Arkansas City,
but 5000 sacks were sent down to Trippe
Station to-day to be filed with sand and
will be used in holding down the track
The planters in the valley below are
still safe, but if the rise continues
day or two the water will begin going over
the levee at South Bend and below. The
rains are general throughout the State,
and most of the small streams are out of
their banks and flooding the bottoms. The
Saline river is rising three inches an hour.

JEALOUS DOGS SUICIDE.
Whipping the Rival that Displaced HIN
and Then Jumping Under a Train.

WARWICK, n. Y, February 10.-Whatis
generally believed to be deliberate case
OF suicide by dog occurred in this village
last week. The animal was a valuable and
intelligent bird dog, owned by MIR. 5. Sill
ker, well-known resident of Warwick.
Mr.. Sliker recently purchased new dog,
and, as he found some difficulty in domes-
icating it, he treated it with more than
usual kindness and attention. The old
dog manifested great disapproval of the
treatment of the new conner and showed
unmistakable jealousy. His master per-
sisted in making much OF the new dog and
the old one finally attacked his rival, gave
it a severe whipping and then left the
premises and took up his quarters at the
Wawayauda House. He was treated very
kindly there and refused to return to his
old home. The dog had always been al
most boisterous in his activity, but after
leaving his master he became morose and
sulky. He rarely left the hotel. Alter he
had been in his new quarters day or so it
was discovered that he seemed to find
singular fascination in railroad trains, and
each train that passed by would find him
standing close by the track, where he
would gaze apparently with great interest
at the rolling wheels. One day last week
he was seen standing in his usual position
by the track. y train was approaching.
As it was passing where the dog stood he
sprang suddenly on the rail between the
front and rear wheels of a car and was in
stantlV torn to pieces.
