HARD AT WORK.
John Kelly's Threat to Bolt If Cleveland is
Nominated.

Nominated.
CHICAGO, July THE clubs have come,
the Democratic forces have assembled, the
work of President making is under full
headway, and the hotels are filed with
surgng crowds The attendance is much
greater than at the Republican Convention.
The Palmer Honse is the chief scene Of
operations, and it is almost impossible to
get in or out of the hotel The stairwAys
are so iammed that it is work of great DIFF
fculty to get up or down. The warning fac
tons of New York are busy with the toma-
hawks and scalping knives, and Kelly and
Manning are lighting haud-tohaul
battle. Thus far the Manning machine
seems to have the better Of Tam
many Hall. The accession of the
Brooklyn delegation has greatly encour-
aged Cleyeland's friends, but the opposition
has not yet given up the battle Thirty
one of the delegates are said to have signed
protest against Cleveland's nomination
Threats are made that the unit rule will be
broken. The Cleveland managers, how
ever. are going ahead undaunted by threats
or charges against their favorite, and seem
determined to nominate him in spite of all
that is urged, against him. So far they
have the better of the fight, and the op-
poucntS Of the Governor confess their fears
that he will succeed. The Clereland men
are spending money literally, and filled the
supplement of the Chicago Times to-day
with matter laudatory of their reform Gov
ernOr.-
state Officials.
Every oGicial under the State Govern
ment is here working with might and main;
and ex-senator Herman, whose son was APP
pointed Railroad Commissioner by Cleve-
land at a salary OF s., ,0O0, is here assuming
to pledge the support OF the Irish vote,
which is known to be adverse to the Gov
ernor's nomination. The Cleveland men
will stick to the statement that their can
didate is the choice OF Tilden, in the face OF
the most emphatic denials on the part Of
men who effect to know that the Sage has
never indicated the slightest preference for
Cleveland In the hotel corridors heated
discussions are carried on, all this while be-
tween the adherents and opponents of the
Governor; the arguments used against his
nomination are that the labor and anti
monopolist are against him, that the Catho-
lies are satisfied that Cleveland has turned
his back on the party and been goverened
in his action by such Republicans as Mayor
Lowe, of BROOKLYN, that he lost the State
to the Democrats last fall by his arbitrary
cause and that it would be impossible for
him to carry it this fall. This is met by TIE
statement that Tammany urged at St.
Louis that Tildea could not carry New
York. which was afterwards demonstrated
to be fallacy.
A Combination.

Informal Ballots Taken by Various Dele

CHICAGO, July. 7.-To-nigbt was wit
messed a repetition Of the crush at the
hotels which signalized the Republican
Convention when at its height. In and
outside the Palmer House from s
TO ii o'clock was a countless horde
which made progress in any direction very
laborious and we'll nigh impossible. Inside
the hotel the main lobby presented the
spectacle of solid mass of people whose
predominant headgear was the
High White Hat.
Among the great crowd was liberal sprink-
ling Of stylishly dressed ladies vino, with
their escorts, fought as stHrdily as any one
in making their way up and down the wide
stairways to reach the headquarters in the
hone, apparently. Of catching glimpse Of
some Of the great lights Of the convention.

In the main parlors, however, the leaders
we're hid behind closed doors, pursuing their
caucusing and dpreparing for the battle which
must be fought on the floor Of the Conyen-
ton. The Tammany braves we're most ac-
tive in their efforts to counteract the osten-
sible victory Of the Cleveland people. In
the South the effect OF their work was to be
seen as there was disclosed clear wavering
in the allegiance of some Of the states either
from arguments Of his opponents or from
their own reasoning North Carolina de-

Broken Bones.

A doctor should, of course. be sent
for in most cases, as it is difficult to
determine the character of the fracture.
But the fracture of an arm bone, espe-
cia1ly in the case of children-their
bones are not yet brittle-may be like
that of green twig, partly bent and
partly broken. In this case, if the arm
can be Strengthened without much, if
any, pain to the child, the parent may
himself bring the parts into place, keep
them so with splints and pandages, and
otherwise support the arm.
A broken bone heals of itself almost
as readily as cut muscle. Rest-ab-
solute rest, no movement of the tract
ured surfaces on each othef-is the
main thing. But if the fracture is 10
two or more places, or the bone is
broken into small pieces, or Jagged
of course, should be called.
If the hand or foot has been badly
crushed, immerse it in quite warm
water, and keep it there till the doctor
comes. Perhaps he may conclude to
let it remain until the inflammation has
subsidized two or three days-before he
extracts the broken bits.
Hot water has wonderful power TO
relieve pain, reduce Inflammation and
promote healing. Hands have thus
been saved for quite good service which
had been crushed under trip-hammer.
In the case of . broken leg, don't lift
up the wounded person. The jagged
ends of the bone may badly lacerate
the flesh. Get some doos from its
hinges-or something of the kind and
let the person draw himself on TO it,
and into such posture as he may find
least painful. In this case, too, abso-
lutte rest of the parts is the oRa condi'
ton of cure.
OF late years the plaster of Paris BAN
dage has, to large extent. taken the
place of splints. It is vastly superior
every way, and with it the person may
sooner be allowed the use of his limbs.

A Tragedy.

A short time since there lived in the
sinful city of Cincinnati young and
beautiful drummer, beneath whose
steam lanndried shirt there reposed q
reservoir of pride, ambition, hope and
energy. He was one of the loyeliest of
his sex, and the fragments of female
hearts broken by him during his brief
but eventfui career would macadamlZe
the highway from ST. Paul to Mime
apolis. His route was down the Ohio
through the land of the Hoosiers, where
the graceful hoop-pole bends and sways
in each passing breeze, and where GIN
gerbread sells below par.
On recent trip he acquired new
mash-a girl whose soulful eye and
soft. dreamy beauty almost ripped the
stitching of his throbbing neart. When
the gray haze of evening began to soft
" wrap the earth in its soothing folds
he asked the young lady totake astrol
with him, and, hastily looming light
wrap, she took his arm and they went
forth from her parental home. How
fondly he walked by her side, and
what flashing glances of triumph he
cast at the enVious young men whom
they encountered in the street! All!
little did he dream that ere the end of
the next block was reached he would
be lying upon the hard, unfeeling pave
ment corpse! Little did he dream
that the somber angel of death was
even then lowering over him, and that
its black pinions were almost sweeping
his flushed and joyous cheek!
A tragic fate awaited him, and it
soon came. It is unnecessary to go
into details. A local paper tells the
whole story in four lines-four thrilling
lines of soul-worrying poetry. We give
them entire:
He asked her if she'd have ice-cream-
Il do not eat it. Thanks" she said,
"Wha-what?" he stammered, in surprise,
And then he tumbled right down--dead!
Later advices tell us that the girl
also slipped her grip on life moment
later, and to complete the sad story we
append the following:
Then uttered she piercing cry,
That shook her frame from deck to mizzen,
And tumbling down with deAth-glazed eye,
Her soul Lit out in chase of his'n!
