The ohio democratic Convention.

COLUMBUS, o., August 19.-Delegates
to the Ohio State Democratic Conven-
tion began to arrive to day from different
parts of the State, ind it is thought that
all will be here by evening. Indications
point to large convention, and there is
a probability Of short work, resulting in
the nomination of the old ticket 50 far
as the incumbents desire places. There
is no organized opposition to Gov. Hoad-
ly, and the expressions of the majority
of the delegates are that he will be nomi
mated on the first ballot. Judge Thur
man has refused the use of his name for
Governor, and the opposition to Hoadly
is not inclined to combine on any other
District meetings will be held this even
ing for the selection of the members of
the various committees, and the eonven-
'ton proper will convene tomorrow
morning.
The several district delegations met at
9 o clock pm, according to the pro-
gramIne, though many of them came to-
gether much later than that hour. Some
delegations were still in session at II
o'clock pm, engaged in contest over
the selection of State Central Committee
men and members of the Committee on
Resolutions The Second District, part
of Hamilton county, required long time
to decide the matter of credentials.
The Indications tonight are that the
convention will be very lame affair and
that the old ticket will be re-nominated
throughout. No opposition to Governor
Hoadly or other candidate standing fol
denomination developed in any district
meeting TO- night.

STARKYILLF, MISS.
Another Sam Jones Creating a Sensa

SrARKv1LLE, MISS, August 1.-THE
city and county and surrounding coun
ties are excited and delighted with the
preaching of Rev. Robt. g. Pearson, who
was bora and reared in the county, but
who has been absent for fifteen years.
He has large circle of relatives and
friends of his boyhood. He was educa-
ted at Cumberland University, Lebanon,
Tenn He served few years as pastor
at Columbus and Nashville, Tenn,
and then gave himself up to the
Evangelical work on the Moody
and Sam Jones style. He is a
man of unique style, pathetic at times,
then satirical and maniy-as may suit.
His friends built large tabernacle at
Bells school house, eight miles from
here, in densely populated district, and
large crowds attend-larger than were
ever seen in this district. Eighty pro-
fessed hopeful conversion to the eighth
day, and as many backsliders were re.
claimed. The meeting is likely to con
tinue two weeks longer. 1t is union il
its character, and is sustained by tn,
neighboring pastors of his denomination
aud the Revs. j. A. Ellis, John NJ
Keeton and }. T. Freeman, distin
guished minister in this State and TO
many years president of the Baptis

FEARFUL PARTING
OF One of the st. Quinten Chorus Girls
from Her Companions.

Just before the Memphis train pulled
out from the depot at New Orleans last
Monday, says the New Orleans States, one
of the chorus singers of the st. Quinten
Opera Company said that the cashier OF
the company had not paid them for their
past weeks service, and he for one was
not going until he saw little money in
sight. Another chorus singer, Miss Bessie
Wilson, was surrounded by crowd OF ad-
mirers, and she was relating to them in a
mournful tone how she had been beaten
out of her last weeks salary. She was not
going until that money was forthcoming,
though she had on duster and carried a
satchel. AS the time drew near Molten
went among the disaffected people and be-
gan talking to them about how their
money would be paid on their arrival at
Memphis. His talk had good effect on
the male chorus singer, for he grabbed his
gripsack and jumped aboard the train,
where he was received with open arms by
his more willing colleagues. All of Mol
tens talk had no weight on Miss Wilson,
for she refused to go unless she was paid
Molten argued but without avail, and the
train pulled out amidst cheers. tears, jeers,
handshaking, kissing, weeping and wall
ing and gnashlng of teeth, but Miss vii.
son stood her ground and watched the
train depart with tears in her eyes. In
justice to Manager McGrath it can be said
that he was in no wise responsible for the
salaries. He did his duty, and more too
for he paid out ef his own pocket the com
pany's passage TO Memphis.

Louisiana prohibitionfsts.

New ORLEANS, LA, August ia
special to the Times Democrat from
Shreveport says: The State Prohibition
Convention met here to-day. The at
tendance was not as large as was .ex-
pected. The following officers were
elected: DR.. S. Nj. ANGEL, New Orleans,
president; J. Y. Gilmore, New Iberia,
secretary. The Rev. I. G. Evans,
Shreveport, assistant secretary, made a
statement of the work done. A motion
to appoint a committee on resolutions
created discussion as to the real status
of the convention. Col. Mitchell, tenn
porarily in the chair, explained that this
convention was entirely independent Of all
present temperance organizations in the
State, and not auxiliary to any of them.
Further discussion developed the fact
that the political aspect created suspicion
in the minds of some members which the
chairman made an effort to dispel. A
committee on resolutions was finally ap-
pointed and the Convention took a re-
cess. On reassembling the Convention
elected State Executive Committee,
adopted a lengthy platform of princi-
pies and working rules, and them ad
iourned.

Maud s Trots a Fast Quarter

Maud s. is doing easy miles at Provi-
dence, and in her work acts so well that
Mr.. Bonner is more than pleased. On
Tuesday Mr.. Bonner went to see her,
and she was driven mile and repeat.
The first mile was hardly more than jog
for the queen, being made in about 2:30.
Bair, after cooling out, speeded her a
mile in 2:14 The first quarter pole was
reached in 35 seconds and the second
quarter was made in 31i. Before the
mare was speeded Mr.. Bonner instructed
Bair not to drive her fast.
To Tribune reporter Mr.. Bonner said:

miles in order that when she is given the

PITTsBURG, PA, August 19.-The
scale Of wages for the glass workens this
year has not yet been fixed 1t is stated
that this is not the result of accident,
but because certain complications have
arisen that may result in general strike
all over the country, The manufactur-
ers East and West, departing from the
usual custom, insist upon the workmen
meeting them in a joint capacity. At
the meeting held on Monday, the Wage
Committee served official notice on the
Pittsburg producers that they would not
consent to their proposition. Thus the
matter stands at present. The prospects
for an early conference on the wage ques-
ton ale anything but fattering. The
manufacturers claim to be indifferent as
to the outcome. The Eastern aud West
ern men are united this year on the scale
| question and will insist on the workmer
dealing with them as a united body.

In Reference 10 the First BaIe of New
Cotton.
To the Editors of the Appeal:

To the Editors of the Appeal:
1t is with pleasure, and with that
peculiar satisfactory pride which only a
planter can feel and enjoy. that | ac-
knowledge and appreciate the compli-
ment paid me in your article of the 10th
instant in reference to the first bale of
new cotton received from the Memphis
District. But L wish to say that if there
is any honor due or compliments deserv-
ing that they should at least be divided
among those who are equally if not more
deserving than myself. | therefore, In
justice those parties, must state that
though the cotton was raised on my
plantation [ am largely indebted to the
industry and energy of Messrs. Pitts and
Patterson who, by their own labor, have
cultivated twenty-six acres of cotton,
and though amateur planters they have,
by early planting and wise cultivation,
made sweep, and by their industry and
gentlemanly department have gained a
reputation which few white laborers at
tain in cur country. This | say with
regret, but it is lamentable fact tn
the cotton planter cannot rely upon white
labor in the Mississippi bottoms. Mr.
E. D. Pitts is a grandson of the late dis
tinguished Fountain f. Pitts of Ten
nessee.
Mr.. Patterson is a big-hearted ant
true Irishman, and so much for gooC
blood-it will tell in man as well as il
horse. They furnished about half tn,
cotton for the first bale. Sam johnson
my plantation superintendent, is a col
ored man, but it is to his Industry, ener
py and enterprise, push and pluck, tha
| for the most part owe my success il
having fiue, growing crop, and was abl
to furnish the first bale of the season t
our own home city, which is destined t
be the great cotton market of America
l am also glad to state that we hav
many other colored men in our count
who are rising above the commonalty {
their race and making themselves usefu
citizens, some accumulating propert
and paying taxes, and others proviu
themselves worthy of positions of respor
sibility and trust, thus proving that tn
