The Phenomena OF Ternad0es.
Pittsburg Dispatch


The results of special investigation
of tornadoes in 1882 and 1883 have led
the United States Signal Office TO
adopt a plan for thoroughly studying
tornado phenomena. The work is
now carried on by about 800 observers,
called tornado reporters whose stations
are mostly located in the States OF
Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina,
Missouri, Arkansas. Kansas, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin
and Minnesota. Since March 10, 1884,
according to Sergeant j. z. Finley,
ornado predictions have been made
a matter of daily study. The average
up 10 June ] shows that it has been
possible on fifty-five days to success
fully predict from the morning wealth
er map that no tornado would occur
on that day; on twenty eight other
days tornadoes were predicted for par
ticular States or larger regions, and OF
them the tornadoes ON seventeen days
occurred In the or near the region
specified, while on eleven days lorna
does occurred in regions for which
they were not predicted.

Just in Time.

John Russell (coloredJ was engaged
in blowing near fredericksburg, Va,
and had set fire to the stubble so 1t
would.burn off. While the fire was
burning near the bank of Hazel run,
he says, il occurred to him that he
ought TO unhitch his horse and shelter
himself behind a tree near by from
some danger, he knew not of at the
time. This thought so impressed
itself upon him that he did unhitch
and took stand near the tree. He
had been there but few minutes
when loud explosion took place, fol-
lowed by another and another in rapid
succession, until .he eleventh one had
taken place. John says he was terri
bly, frightened, and for some time
pieces of shells and balls, ETC., fell all
around him. 1t is supposed that a
pile of shells was left there during the
war and had never been found, and
when the fire reached them the ally
exploded.

two democratic factions of New York,
and took the same view of the ques-
ton as that presented by Bragg of
WIS. IF it would be an outrage, he
said, to deprive individual delegates Of
the right to their own choice
would be still greater outrage and
deprive a great state of her voice in
the convention, he moved to lay
the Grady amendment on the table.
After some parliamentary objections,
the motion to lay il on the table was
withdrawn, and the previous ques-
ton was showed and seconded. The
amendment offered by Mensie, of
Indiana, was withdrawn, and the
convention proceeded TO vote on the
amendment offered by Grady, of New
York, requiring the individual
preferences Of delegates to be recorded
as the votes OF their states" There

A Cow on a Tear.

A quart of whisky was mixed with
feed and given to a COW. in New
York town, says the Boston Courier,
and nalf an hour later the animal
was believing: 1--WE won't go home
till morning" or something that way,
and treated several persons to couple
of horns" and acted in a very repre-
hensible manner generally. When
she sobered she jumped down bank
and broke her neck. This shows the
superior intelligence and good sense
of the COW over the average bibulous
person. When the latter gets drunk
and makes things howl, instead of
jumping down a bank and breaking
his neck when he gets sober, he imme-
diately begins to lay the foundation
for another roaring drunk.

THE PLATFORM,

The committee on platform of the
democratic national convention met
in the parlor of the Iroquois club 10
night at $50, thirty-six members
being present Malcolm Hay, of
Pittsburg, was MADE temporary chair
man.
VIM. r. Morrison, of Illinois, was
nominated for permanent chairman
of the committee on resolutions by
the tariff reform members, and Geo.
J.. Converse, of Ohio, by the protcc-
ton element. A ballot was taken
on the nomination winch resulted in
Is votes for Morrison against IS for
Converse This tie vote caused some
thing of sensation among the
members, and another ballot was
ordered which resulted exactly in the
same way, it being apparent
that there was dead lock in the
committee, it was agreed that
the temporary chairman, Mr.. Hay,
should act as chairman during the
formation of the platform, bat that
when the work was done the commit
tee should elect permanent chair
man whose duty it will be to present
the resolutions to the convention.
A chat with member of the anti
tariff wing of the committee elected

tiveS of the states of North Carolina,

and that the speech would pe made by
Gen. Breckenridge of Kentucky.
THE CAMPAIGN FUNDS WANTED.
The DINO headquarters at the Pal
mer house to night presented u scene
of furor and excitment growing
out of the fact that the spacious
rooms were crowded to sutfocation.
The speakers We're rapidly following
one another, addressing even the
moving crowds from a table placed in
the center of the room. The faction
quarrel between Thurman and the
anti-Thurman parties to all outward
appearances is booming more intense
and bitter than when the delegates
first arrived. At least dozen dele
gates declare openly that they Will
not vote for Thurman. No caucus
vote of the delegation on the presl-
dental preferences has yet been held,
but from various delegates 1t is learn
ed that Ohio stands % for anti
Thurman, and 81 for Thurman.
This estimate is strenuously denied
by Thurman'S supporters, who clam
twenty eight votes. The anti-Thur-
man element in Ohio are uncertain
whom they shall support. Indications
tonight point to their casting at least
a portion of their vote for Hoadiey,
whose name will be put Ia nomina
ton if Tburman's friends insist in
presenting the latter's name. After
Hoadley the anti-Thurman votes in
Ohio Will probably go to Cleveland.
Ohio holds caucus in the
morning, before entering the con
vention. Thurman's friends tonight
state that many southern delegates
have declared their intention of sup
porting HIM. 1t is, therefore, proba-
BILE that Thurman name will be pre-
sented, no matter what the outcome
of the caucus.
ON RESOLUTIONS.
The committee on the platform re
manned IN session until after midnight.
NoEprogress at all was made, as The
time was entirely taken up
in the reception of various mem
OrialS and resolutions. Among
them, being one from A. NJ. Sullivan,
president of the Irish national league
of America, of absentee landlords
in the United States" Abraham S.
Hewitt, of N. Y; Mr.. Morrison, of
Ills. Mr.. Butler, of Mass, and Mr..
Gwynn, of Cal, gave notice that
they would submit platforms tomor-
row for discussion III the committee.
There was no mention of the tariff
during to-nights session.

in his place Mr.. Thurman, the Pacific
coast would guarantee to him the
solid democratic vote and victory,
which lie believed would not only in
clude California, but the entire Union.
He said. i'll conclusion, that with a
Thurman candidacy the democratic
party cannot be beaten. Mr. Cheney,
his fellow delegate, spoke briefly, in
course of which he supported the

THE CAUCUSING.

however, went on as usual and there
was what appeared TO be final rally
against the Cleveland hosts. which
claimed tonight that victory was
in sight Numerous and conflicting
rumors were flSatiAg about, but they
all resolved themselves into the
fact that it was only the field against
Cleveland, with the opposition leaders
devising plans TO consolidate the scat
tering votes for some one as against
the governor of New York. Last
night the Bayard boom took on un-
mistakable proportions, but consider
able of his strength deserted him to-
day, and then a move was made in the
direction of Thurman. 1t is well
known that the Ohio delegation has
been divided, and a strong effort was
made tonight to consolidate its vote
for Thurman on the promise that
Massachusetts,, and considerable
portion of the south and west. would
rally to his support. 1t is claimed
that a telegram sent to Gov. Hoadley,
asking him not to stand In the way
of Thurman, who now had an oppor-
tunity for a fair race, and that Mr..
Mclean was being urged to the same
end. Gov. Butler sought out Mr..
Mclean tonight ana had long con-
sultation with him, it is supposed
to tins end. With the exception of
Maryland, it could not be ascertaincd
that any serious detection had oc-
CURED in the columns of the
southern states, which had hitherto
given an adherence to the Bayard
movement Maryland decided by a
majority of five TO vote as unit en- the
second ballot for Cleveland. It was
stated in very positive way however

CARLISLE.

James a. Mckenzie, of Kentucky,
next came to the platform, and in tire
name of a state which, he said, woulo
give 50, 900 majority to the democratic
nomination, nominated the present
distinguished speaker of the American
house of representatives., John q. Car
Isle. In all the essential characters
tics Of manliness. courage, ability and
patriotism, Mr.. Carlisle was the peer
OF any great name that had been or
would be mentioned in connection
with that office. No name carried
with IT more of talismanic charm or
more of the respect of the American
people than his. He was man not
born for small or selfish things. he
was a man to whom dishonor was
unknown. He was one made up OF
greatness who had victorious birth
right In his name alone, it might be
urged he came from the wrong side
of the Ohio river, but if the statute
of limitation was ever tried on that
plea it ought TO begin now. Cheers
