senbling the session was opened with singing
and prayer Several kilograms were read. Among
them were the following:
Make no mistake. Nominate Gov. ST. John. He
will accept Two hundred thousand Methodists are
waiting to support him. The voice of God and the
voice of suffering humanity say compromise, no
afilation Prohibition straight and woman suffrage
sure
The question being on suspending the rules
and nominating Mr.. st. John by aeclamation,
Mr.. Hopkins, of New York, moved as substi-
tute that the roll of States be called and that
the delegation shall announce their choice.
Mr.. Stephens, of Pennsylvania, moved as an
amendment that the call be postponed till after
adoption of the platform. The nomination was
a foregone conclusion, and if there was to be
any disharmony in the convention, it had better
be now than at the close. He warned them that
it would be impossible to hold the convention
after the nominations, and he did not want to
see the convention stampede. Another delegate
suggested as reason why the nomination should
be made immediately, that in that case they
could have telegram of acceptance this even
ing, otherwise they could not.
The question was taken on Stephenss motion
to postpone the nomination, and it was rejected.
The question was then taken on suspending
the rules and calling the roll of States for the
declaration of their choice for President. 1t
was agreed to and the call of States was pro-
ceeded with As the States were called alpha
betically, the chairmen of the several delega-
tions cast their respective votes for John P St
John.
When the roll was completed the secretary an
nouneed that COZ votes had been cast, all of them
for John p. ST. John. The announcement was
greeted with loud cheers A picture of st. John
was exhibited from the stage, and amid great
enthusiasm the delegates and spectators Joined
in singing the chorus to a campaign song,
GLORY, Glory; Hallelujah Our Cause is March
ing On" This was followed by rousing cheers.
Then the convention Joined in the singing Of the
hymn, Praise God from Whom all Blessings

RUsHyILLE, Ind, July "a This afternoon.
about o'clock, one of the most terrible accidents
that ever occurred in Rush county took place
SIX miles south of this city, on the farm of Jo-
| seph Hall. message was received here about
o'clock announcing the accident, and your
correspondent Immediately started for the scene
Upon arriving at the spot most horrifying spec
! tacle was presented. Laid out on boards were
the crushed remains of two dead men, and
another just breathing his last The circum-
stances of the whole affair, as related by an eye
witness, are as follows
Buck Tompkins and his assistants had just
begun to thresh the wheat of Joseph Hall, and had
shelled out about one bushel and half when a
slat in the straw-stacker fell out In order to
replace the slat, the man at the stacker motioned
for the engineer to turn off the steam, which he
proceeded to do, when terrific explosion oc-
CURED, shaking the earth for ra-
dius of half mile. The engineer,
Eugene Swain, of Milroy, was instantly
killed. also, David Henderson, the band cutter,
who was in his place, feeding the machine. A
young man by the name of Ney Innis was filing
a barrel with water at the time, and he was
struck by flying missiles his injuries resulting
in his death two hours after Haden Crayon,
jr, who was holding sacks, had his
head, shoulders and back fearfully
gashed. He is expected to die.
VIM. Stevenson, of Milroy, had his leg broken
below the knee, and was otherwise seriously in
jured Thomas Innis was severely scalded.
Hutch Innis was also terribly scalded all over
the face and body. The two last named were
found fast in rail fence where they
had been thrown by the force
of the eexplosion.t Robert Tompkins was Knocked
off the water tank and dangerously hurt. Kiss
King was horribly bruised about the lower
limbs. The remainder of the men escaped un-
hurt
The cause of the explosion is not known, but
is supposed to have been produced by the gem
Grafton of sulphur gas, as the
men were using strong sulphur water to
supply the boiler The boiler was full of water.
The head of the boiler was thrown twenty rods
away, into an adjoining field knocking down
three panels of board fence and seven of rail
fence. The remainder of the boiler was thrown
perpendicularly upon the end of
the separator where Henderson was
standing, crushing every bone in his body.
Frank, Nichols the other band-cutter, had a
narrow escape. Eugene Swain, the engineer,
had been running an engine about ten years,
and had the reputation Of being ex-
ceedingly careful. All of the killed
were single men, Innis being a
member of one of the wealthiest families in the
county. The engine had been run ahont
twelve years, and had been thoroughly tested
before starting out this season The coroner

THE BOVINE TROUBLE.

n Report on Contagious Diseases of animals
DIR. E. E. Salmon, chief of the bureau of
animal industry, has submitted to the COM
missioner of agriculture a report on con-
tagious diseases Of animals Considerable
space is given to a detailed history of the re-
cent outbreak among the cattle in Kansas.
and to description of its symptoms. He con-
cludes the disease was ergotism. due to the
eating of fungus, known as ergot. Upon
treatment and prevention of the disorder he
says, when the first signs of disorders appear
the most important point to be attended to is
to make a complete change of food and to see
that it be of good quality, nutritious and free
from ergot. 1t would also he proper to give
n dose of physic. one to two pounds of epson
salts, in order to remove as much as possible
from the person that still contained in the
digestive organs, and to follow this with soft
food, as mashes and roots. In the most
severe cases, in which part of the limb is
already Efeless, treatment will avail little.
A greater number of cases, however, are
not advanced to this stage, when lameness
is first noticed, and this will be greatly bene-
fitted by removing the cause and placing the
animal under favorable conditions for resist
ing poison A very important condition is
warmth. Even when the animals are fed large
quantities of ergot they seldom suffer except
the check of the advance of the disease. Ad-
vantage should be taken of this fact by put
ting the cattle in warm sheds. Another con-
dition believed by some to have mueh intiu-
ence OH the development of ergotism is the
water supply. With plenty of water always
at hand, the animal can resist ergotism for
longer time than when there is a deficiency Of
water.
Ergotism can probably be entirely prevent
ed by cutting hay before the seeds form. In
Illinois and Missouri saw the clearest exam
oles of this Hay composed of some kind of
grass cut on the same land was free from
ergot or largely infected with it, according as
it had been cut green or ripe. Hay cut green
is more dgestible and in every way more val
uable than that which is allowed to become
weedy and ripe, and the latter is much more
liable to produce severe disease, such as indi-
gestion and ergotism. This disease may there
fore be avoided by proper and careful man.

CHICAGO, November 13.-The receipts here
were las, 2OS bushels, with shipments of only
1856 bushels. The stock of wheat in store
here to-day of all grades is 1885,, SiS bushels,
against S,OS6 800 at the same time last year.
and 3619 GOO for 1882, and 3S12 900 for the same
time in 1881. This is very large stock for
dull times. when no country of the globe
seems to want it, and to carry this at any TIM
requires large sum, and it is especially felt
now, when such uncertainty exists regarding
finances. Exports from the Atlantic ports for
the week end ing November 8th were ,22T5 600
bushels of wheat and 10000 barrels of flour.
and Great Britain reports a decrease in the
feeling is rather bullish on wheat, and
prices rally easily to a moderate extent
from all deproSSiOns, but no permanent
advance can be expected until the large ac-
cumulations show signs of decreasing. The
large amount of surplus funds held by the
of gold from abroad, must in time lead to in.
creased speculation; with such a low range of
values in all commodities, the natural result
must be better prices or an increase of bust
ness.
Corn receipts were 92,512 bushels; ship
ments, 196,3B bushels. The market opened
steady at about yesterdays closing pr ces,
and ruled tame for some time, but on small
receipts and heavy shipments shorts began
bidding against each other, running prices up
for December and the year, closing with some
reaction, but with strong ceiling. and shorts
getting nervous. We should not be sur
prised to see much higher prices on this year g
options.
Oats are triae stronger than yesterday and
Pork and lard are quiet, with a tendency

UNION PACIFIC FINANCES.
As Explained by Charles Francis adams, the
President.

As Explained by Charles Francis adams, the
President.
Charles Francis Adams, president of the
Union Pacific railway, has sent the following
communication, Of which short notice was
made heretofore, to Sidney Dillon, explaining
the financial condition of the company: Dur
ing three months. July and September inclu-
sive, we received just $1,OO0,0 900 month net
from Omaha. By net mean over and above
Omaha drafts. During October we received
S1.450,00O and paid about $150,000 on Omaha
drafts, leaving us net 81 BOO, 600 for the month.
Between now and the LIST of January I expect
to receive S2.0O0,0 00-$60,00O Of which viii be
necessary to provide for coupons and matur-
ing obligations, which must be paid of. But
/ am confident we will have in these two
months s., 500 900 net to apply to the floating
but do not think do. The Pullman notes
given for our hare in the contract are re-
duced now to $4,000 The company owes us
about $4,000 Meanwhile our accounts at
Omaha are in better condition than they have
been for long time. There are no arrears or
vouchers and the auditor reports everything
well paid up. The reduction of gross earnings
the past month was largely due to the fact of
changed methods of keeping accounts. Last
year we credited ourselves with about $4,000
freight paid on coal used for our own locomo-
dveS. Of course we never received this
money, and it went into subsequent expenses.
This year the system of charges is actual, and
the apparent gross is decreased in SO much.
During September, therefore, we practically
received about $4,000 more money than last
year. Ipropose to come on to New York next
week and take hold of the floating debt From
this time forward the plan is to reduce it
steadily and by every means in our power I'M
til it is eXtinguished.

How A MosoU1ro BrTEs.-The bill OF
a mosquito is a complex institution. It
is admirably calculated to torment.
The bill has blunt fork at the head,
and is apparently grooved. Working
through the groove, and projecting from
the center of the angle of the fork, is
lance of perfect form, sharpened with a
fine bevel. Beside it the most perfect
lance looks like handsaw. On either
side of this lance two saws are arranged
with the points sharp and the teeth
well-defned and keen. The backs of
these saws play against the lance.
When the mosquito aights with its Pc
cuiar hum, it thrusts with its keen
lance and then enlarges the aperture
with the two saws, which play beside
the lance until the forked bill with the
capillary arrangement for pumping
blood can be inserted. The saving
process is what CRATES upon the nerves
of the victim and causes him to strike
wildly at the saver. The irritation of
a mosquito bite is undoubtedly owing
to these saws.
