A Woman who Could Keep a Secret.

Miss Elizabeth Richards. member
of the Orthodox Friends meeting and
q native of this city, who died at her
home in Wilmington on Monday at an
advanced age, conducted a private
school in Philadelphia for twenty-five
years. She then opened a school in
Wilmington, where she was engaged in
her educational procession for . con-
tinuous period Of fifty-four years, re-
firing nearly five years ago. The great
est secret cf her life was her age, and
this she never told any one, always
avoiding the question when asked. On
her death-bed, few hours before she
died, she refused to reveal the number
of years she had lived, and destroyed
all evidences of the date of her birth.
1t il asserted by one who was familiar
with her and who attended her school,
that she was l05 years old. --Fhilades-

Logan's Boom Blooming.

CHICAGO, Ill, June 5, l0A.M.-The
morning newspapers We're tNed with re-
ports OF OBJECTIONS among the Logan
supporters, aud it was declared that
Governor Cuilum would lead off with
seventeen of the votes for Arthur. Dele
gate Pfeiffer, of Bloomington, says in
reply; "There Is not word of truth in
these rumors. We are standing solidly
together and will break for nobody"
Governor Cullom said. "Why should
| not be for Logan as long as there is the
smallest possibility of his nomination. L
have been selected to place him before
the convention, and it is not likely l
would betray so great trust. Just say
that am an honest man yet, and under
no circumstances will | desert Logan as
long as he is before the convention.
Everybody knows my relations with
President Arthnr have been pleasant,
and regard him as an avallableman, but
he is
NOT HALE so AVAILABLE AS LOGAN"
Hon. Isaac Clements said; 'We are
now occupying an enviable position, hay
ing friends among all the fayorites. Out
of our delegation of forty-four, Logan
will receive forty steadfast votes and we
are assured by Arthur's friends in New
York that that strength will finally come
to US. Geo. Mckee, delegate from Mis-
sissippi, told me this morning that Logar
was the second choice in Mississippi anC
throughout the South In brief, we have
every reason to anticipate success, anC
all rumors to the contrary are untrue"

The Chicago Press on the Situation.

CHICAGO, Ill, June 5.-The Inter-
ocean says the Arthur ranks stand firmly
and grow steadily.
The Tribune says that seven of the Ma
hone Virginia delegation which the Com"
mittee on Credentials has decided to adj
nit to the Conysntion will vote for
Blaine. 1t says that the conference of
Arthur and Edmunds men last night to
secure enough independent votes to put
Arthur ahead of Blaine on the first ballot
failed. The contests in Ala
bama, Georgia and Virginia We're
decided by the Committee on Gre
dentials IN favor of Arthur; the
delegates from Illinois in favor of Logan;
Kentucky, Fifth District, in favor of the
two Blaine contestants Maryland, IN
favor of the two Blaine contestants;
Sixth District, New York, IN favor of the
two Arthur men; Nineteenth District,
New York, both regular and contesting
delegates to be seated; Pennsylvania, in
favor of the regular delegates. 1t is
claimed that the delay in the proceedings
is unfavorablc to both Blaine and
Arthur's chances. 1t is thought a, ballot
will not be reached till tomorrow.
The Times says the belief is stronger
than ever that neither Blaine nor Arthur
can be nominated. 1t further says tho
Blaine men offered Logan the Vice-Presi-
deacy to combine forces, but the offer
was refused The same paper further
says that Arthur Is practically out Of the
race unless the failure of the indepoud-
eat movement brings Edmunds and Haw-
ley's vote to him.

TACTICS OF BLAINE MANAGERS.

They Will Break the Policy of Delay
No Opposition to the Reports.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, June Sit is reported
the Blaine managers have resolved to en-
deavor to break the policy of delay here
tofore pursued by the Arthur-Edmunds
managers to push matters to a concIu-
sion. While lighting stoutly in the com
mittees they will content themselves with
that, and not invite resistance in the
open Convention This seems to be their
best plan. They also hope to defeat the
independents by inducing the Arthur
men, who are opposed to dark horse,
to come to Blaine on some late ballot.

SPRINGFIELD, March 4-United States Commissioner Bradford heard 8 curious case of oounterfeiting to day. Daniel Feaster and his wife, aged twenty-seyen and twenty four years respectively, and Charles Arnold and his wife, aged twenty-five and twenty ysars were held for trial under heavy bonds. The gang was an independent one, operating at Springfield, Fulton county, and were ar- rested while making spurious silver dollars. The two girls were detected casting the metal and none of them seem to realize the enor mity of their offences. A variety of crude tools were captured.
