The Oregon Central land grant forfeiture
bill was passed. Yeas lSS, nays 26.
The Senate amendments were non-con-
Cured in to the bill establishing bureau of

The Senate amendments were concurred in
to the jointir solution. making an additional
appropriation for the relief of the sufferers
from the overflow of the Mississippi river.
A bill was passed amending an act to en-
clude public lands in Alabama from the op-
Grafton of the laws relating to mineral lands.
The provisions of the bill were extended to
the States of Louisiana, Florida and Ark

House proceeded to consider the bill for for
feiting lands granted to the California &
Oregon Railroad Co., except such lands as
granted for that portion of the road which
was completed before the LIST of July, 1880.
A spark of interest was awakened by some
vigorous remrrks from Mr.. Cobb of Indiana,
in regard to the horde of railroad lobbyists
who he asserted approached the best mem
bers with arguments in opposition to the
forfeiture. The bills. he had no doubt, had
he so desired could have secured 81 ,000,-
600 for committing the committee on public
lands to non-forfeiture. These forfeiture
bills ought to pass during the session and
they would pass if Congress had to remain
in session until December lst.

ALARMING DISCOVERY.
The Bodies of 81 Children Found Buried
In a Trench-Their Death Caused
by Neglect.


PHILADELPHIA, June 4.
The village of Hammonton, Atlantic coun-
ty, N. j., was in an unusual state Of excite
ment today over the discovery of the bodies
of 21 children buried in small plot of ground
attached to the. sanitarium called the Nivison
Home, under the supervision of Miss S. S.
Nivison. An examination by doctors brought
to light the information that out of 23 babies
sent there in the past few months only two
are now alive. An explanation of the alb
sence of the others was found when the ply
sicians were led into the yard and one of the
bodies exhumed. The bodies lay on soap
boxes and barrels at the bottom of deep
trench. On inquiry for the certificates of
death the physicians were told that at the
death of each unfortunate, without commun-
ication to the county authorities, the little
ones were buried in such empty boxes and
barrels as could be found.
The coroner was summoned and after TAX
ing testimony found that 81 children died
from natural causes aggravated by the neg
lect of Miss Nivison, improper sanitary
arrangements and gross inconpetency of
nurses in charge The case was placed in
the hands of Prosecuting Attorney Thompson
of Atlantic county.

his sovereignty under his hat" Applause. !
Now. Mr.. Chairman. Mr. Csmpbelfs position
in that convention, the wise reflection, the
afterthought of the republican convention of
| 1880 under the lead of that great immortal
leader whose face fronted us there, James A.
Garfield of Ohio. (applause) under the lead
of Garfield l remind nv friend from Cali
| fornia that the convention induced the gentle
man who presents the resolution TO withdraw
it Now, sir. in the light of the character of
the republican party, in the light of the action
of the last convention, the first convention of
which have known in which such pledge
was required, | ask this convention to be
mindful OF all that hangs on the wisdom,
moderation. tolerance and patriotism of our
action. l beg this convention TO remember
Lincoln, to remember Garfield and to remem-
Der the very vital principle of the republican
party, and assume that every man here who
is honest and honorable will vote the resolu-
ton down which should never have appeared
in the convention, as unworthy to be ratified
by the concourse of the free men that see
before me. (Applause)
Convention Notes.
Mr.. Clayton was not nominated for
temporary chairman in the national commit
tee by Blaine man. He was suggested by
Mr.. Morey of Louisiana, an Arthur man.
Mr.. Lynch. is a muatto. rather under me-
dunn size, with fine face and the bearing
of a cultivated gentleman In dress he is
neat even to elegance. He is fine orator,
has a deep, well modulated voice and very
graceful manner.
VIM. Walter Phelps, one of the most ac-
tive of Mr.. Blaine's friends, voted for Lynch
and against Clayton for temporary chairman.
ThiS hot tho claim of tho Rlaipa m
that the Clayton vote was not test of their
strength is true.
Ex Gov. Long of Massachusetts, believes
that nomination is not at all probable at the
first days balloting. The unattached dele
gates are confident of their power TO prevent
a stampede, and therefore is not disposed to
hurry matters.
Gen. Sherman has telegraphed ex-senator
Henderson saying he would not accept the
nomination if offered not serve if elected.
The scene at midnight at the Blaine head
quarters at the Grand Pacific battles de-
scription, Thousands of adherents of the
plumed knight crowded into the spacious
parlors and surrounding corridors. Amidst
the intense enthusiasm Tom Bayne mounted
a chair and read the names of forty delegates
who had voted for Lynch, but who were also
pledged to vote for the man from Maine.
Powell Clayton is Northern man, and
was good soldier At the close of the war
he became citizen of Arkansas, where he
soon took an active part in politics. He was
governor, senator, ETC., and the most promi-
nent figure in the politics of the State until
he fell into the hands of the Bourbons.
The friends of Mr.. Blaine urge that every
thing that has thus far occurred in the con-
vention and out, strengthens the position of
their favorte, and that to talk of dark horses
is to overthrow the clearly expressed will of
the republicans of the country that james G.
Blaine should be their standard bearer in the
impending presidential struggle.

NAINE DISPATCHES.
THE r. Il D. X. X.
A second Hearing for an Enlargement
Of the Original Decree.
PORTSMOUTH, N. H., June T..

PORTSMOUTH, n. H., June 4.
A hearing is in progress in the United
s,s,es Circuit Court at Portsmouth, N. H.,
m motion of Gen. S. J. Anderson, receiver
of the Portland & Ogdensburg Railroad, for
an enlargement of the former decree .. con-
.,i,utinp him receiver with certain powers.
Bv the former decree he authorized the is
,ue Of receivers certificates. The indebted
ness amounts to $3.50, 200, which should be
the first lien on the road, The object was
10 enable the road to be put in suitable
condition for business. If then. taking
proper rolling stock and track and bridges
being unsafe by the original application,
asked the authorities to issue receivers cer-
tfca.es of $3.50, 900, but the amount was
limited to sl50,0OO. This, the receiver says,
is entirely insufficient, hence the motion to
90 enlarge the original decree that he may
use additional certificates to the amount of
100000. The Mercantile Trust Co. of New
York, the holder of $4,000 second mort
gage bonds on which no interest has been
and the present one. The Trust Co. claims
the New Hampshire division unjustly dis
criminated against it. The decision was re-
served.
The City of Portland interviewed this after
noon in the Portland & Ogdensburg railroad
hearing and prayed it be allowed to become
n marty with the Mercantil Trust Co in the
bill in equity against the road. 1t was rep
resented that the City of Portland is owner
of 81 l,350.000 of second mortgage bonds.
The motion was allowed.
On the application for an enlargement of
the former decree there is no decision yet.
From the best information obtainable the
roads liabilities now are as follows Amount
Of second mortgage bonds. s., ZOO, 900; inter-
est thereon for eight years at seven per cent,
sl,6S0, 900; third mortgage bonds, 100000.
The hearing will be continued tomorrow.
