General Wickham's Party Leave for Home
Malone Dividing Honors with Lynch.


Malone Dividing HonOrs with Lynch.
From staf Correspondent Of the Dispatchl
CHICAGO. Ill. June 5.-The unanimous
report Of the Committee on Credentials
against Wickham and in favor Of Malone
was unanimously adopted by the Conven-
ton. General Wickham and most Of his
men left for home a. soon as the committee
announced its decision. The Blaine peO-
ple found themselves i'm Il position where
they could not help Wickham. 4 leader
among them said. Blaine can't take any
position that will array him against the
field" He got enough OF that when the
negro Lynch beat his carpet-bagger Clay
ton for temporary chairman. Had there
been a minority report George William
Curtis. the great New York reformer,
would have attacked Malone on civil-ser-
vice grounds. Curtis is great figure
here He resembles Mr.. Henry Exall.
A resolution, in effect proposing that
in the next Republican Contention
rOtten-torOugh States OF the South shall
not have the vote they now have, caused
great excitement with the southerners aud
was defeated. Bradley, OF Kentucky, in
fighting it, spoke Of Malone, that brave
nero OF NlIEluids anu plOhlSNN tiiHI thN
Republicans would this year carry West
Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, and
Florida. [Prodigious applause.l
LYNCH DIVIDES HONORs WITH MALONE.
Lynch. who. with Malone, divides the
honOrs Of the Convention, in opposing the
resolution was severe on the southern
Democrats, and hoped Congress would, I'M
der the fourteenth amendment, reduce
the representation I'm Congress and in the
electoral college of all States where voters
are disiranchised as they are in Mississippi.
Nothing has vet been said in the Conyen-
non about the solid South" The Con-
vention excluded all Federal of1ce-holders
from the National Committee. rs under the
lsw such officials cannot collect campaign
funds from their subordHates.
REFORMER CURTIS SILENT.

Scott is not for Arthur. Perry Carson, a

The Rev. James f.. Irvine and his wife,
Mary C.. Irvine. OF the Faith Orphanage at
WoOdside. were arraigned in Judge Nc
Carriers court, in Newark, yesterday, for
cruelty to children. Dir. Irvine used TO
be a Methodist minister connected with
the Ilalsey-Street church at Newark.
but lately he has been associated with
his wife in the conduct OF the orphan
age. The Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Children frequently sent little
ones there, and paid the dominic for their
care. The complaint on which they were
called to trial was lodged by the two boys
OF James Rcdding. OF Camden. As soon as
the case was called yesterday Prosecutor
Keen said that the husband could not be
convicted Of cruelty, and he entered Il
nOHe prOSeQui aS to hir, but left Mrs. IT.
vine at the bar to stand trial.
Harry Redding, the younger OF the two
BOYS. testified that he had to wash dishes.
and that when he washed the plates before
he washed the silver Mrs. Irvine would
strike him on the head with stick. On
ore occasion, when he was unable to spell
" boot" she threw him in the bath-tub
and held his head under water. When she

duckcd his head a second time. once he
was obliged to eat ScOrchcd muSh after the
Girl had thrown it into the sink. She put
pepper in his mouth when ne used naughty
words, and once compelled him to drink
ginger and cayenne pepper for cold.
Frederick Redding. a ten-year-old bro
ther OF the preceding witness, testified that
Mrs. Irvine took him by the ears once and
butted his head against the wall, and then
threw him to the floor for pceling potatoes
in the sink after she had told hun not to
do so. Another time, when he failed to
spell a word right, she thrust his head
into pail Of dirty water. He was stirring
porridge and some OF it spilled on the
eat. "Put some on him." Mrs. IRVINE
said TO toe servant, and the girl obediently
did As she was directed. On crOSs-exam-
nation the boys admitted that Mrs. Irvine
frequently took them on her lap and babe

ON the witness-stand that she had Ill
treated the boys, and witnesses were
called to prove that she had taken good
care OF them.

Martin J. Townsend took the floor to

Mr.. Bingham, OF Pennsylvania, seconded
the nomination OF Arthur In an enthusiast
tic speech, which was well received.
Mr.. Lynch, OF Mississippi. (colored.) also
took the stand to second the nomination of
Arthur. and was received with cheers.

At this point 4 motion to adjourn was
lost.
JOHN SHERMAN.
When OHIO was called there was consid-
cradle cheering, and Judge Foraker took
the platform to present the name Of John
Sherman. Judge Foraker referred to
Blaine, when the audience again began tIl-
multuous applause, during which the
band struck up. but could not be heard for
the cheering. The interruption lasted fif-
teen minutes.
When order was resumed Mr.. Foraker
reminded his hearers that they should
never "holIer until they were out Of the
woods"
Judge Holt. OF Kentucky. seconded Mr..
Sherman in n speech which was well re-
ceiyed.
SENATOR EDMUNDS IL NOMINATION..

considerable cheering, and Governor

and presented the name Of Senator Ed

At this point great confusion prevailed.
1t IS claimed bv Blalne's friends that the

Blaine's strength to be 81 against the field.
On another motion to adjourn another
call Of States was demanded. Finally a
compromise was reached. and by agree
ment the Convention, at LOO a. NJ. (Rich-

the presentation Of Blaihe's name, upon n
pole was placed helmet eXquisitely formed
Of carnations and roses, with long
white plume. which was hoisted from
the press table. The helmet was
the gift OF some young ladies Of Chicago.
Tremendous reclamation greeted this sug-
gestion OF "plumed knight" (oi four years
ago.. So went on the waving OF hats,
umbrellas, flagS, and divers other
articles for several minutes, until
it dcgeneratcd into whistling, cat calls, and
other like noises. The chairman seized
the moment to rap the Convention to
order. and after short fight with whstlers,
cai-callers. and others. business was once
more resumed.

On Friday afternoon she bought large

Of the melon. From the outside of the
melon there was no evidence Of its
growth, nor can any stem be found on
the inside. Many fruit growers have
looked at 1t and express their wonder.
Some say that probably the vine Of the
watermelon and cAntsioupe were bruised
by being rubbed together, and another
allows his imagination to suggest that a
bee carried some of the honey from the
oantaloupe vine to the vine Of the water
melon. The bee, though strongly sus-
