NEW JERSEY DEMOCRATS
Nominate Robert S. Greene for Gov
ernor after avery Stormy Session.

TRENTON, N. j., Sept. 2S.-There are fully
1000 strangers in this city, including over
600 delegates to attend the Democratic
State Convention. The State Executive
Committee has decided upon Judge John
Wescott of Camden for temporary chairman
and clerk, and Chancery McDermott will
probably be the permanent presiding officer.
Congressman Robert S. Greene of Union is
easily in the lead for the gubernatorial nom
ination.
at 1880 o'clock, Rufus Blodgett, chairman
of the executive committee, called the COM
l1Ese g Graff 81 aha
man. After the organization was completed
by the election of secretaries and other Off
GERS, a recess was taken till O'Clock.
The convention TeaSSembled at 2.30 O'Clock
and Allen T. McDermott was chosen perma-
nent chairman. Then followed several an
CRY discussions, and considerable disorder
prevailed for a short time. The platform
adopted reaffirms the decisions OF the party,
endorse President Cleveland's adminiStra-
tion, expresses grief for the. death Of Grant,
Mcclellan, Seymour, Hendricks, and Illden,
commendS Gov Abbott and his adminiStra-
ton, condemns the importation of pauper
and convict labor, demands the restoration
to the public domain of the land given by
Republican Congresses to corporations and
foreigners, urges the reduction of the ma
tiOnal debt as fast as the surplus in the
treasury can be used for that purpose, asks
for laws regulating the employment OF chill
dren, and applaudS the heroic work Of Glad
stone and Parnell.
The nomination for Governor was maze
and great confusion prevailed during the
balloting Only one ballot was necessary,
however. Robert S. Greene was nominated
for Governor by slight majority. The
nomination of Greene was made unanimous,
and the convention, too hot and excited for
speech making, broke up. In brief 1t was the
most stormy convention ever held in New
Jersey

THE STATE FAIR.
Figuring UP the Finances Expendi-

LEWISTON, September 28.-The State FAIR
trustees were in session in this city Tuesday,

bills amounting to oyer $4,000 with receipts
of $1,000 less than that sum. lis financial
condition wholly due to the unfayorable
weather With fair weather they would
have had at least $500 in excess of ex-
penses. By the rules the trustees can scale
down the premiums to about one quarter the
offered amounts, which the trustees exceed
ingly dislike to do, or they can hire more
money On their individual security,
which they feel is asking too much
Of them considering the large amount
they are already holden for. They
have already paid or arranged to pay
all legitimate bills for running expenses,such
as labor, supplies, help of all kinds, the new
hall, etc., leaving the premiums undeclded'
If the premium holders would waive them
for this year it would completely bridge the

FIRE RECORD.
A Blaze at Barre, VT.

BARRE, VT, Sept 2S.-The most destruct-
i've fire Barre has had for several years oc-
Cured here this afternoon. 1t was frst dis
covered about o'clock in the roof of barn
occupied by c. FL. jackson as livery stable.
In very few moments the entire, roof was
ablaze and the chief engineer thought the
local fire department was not equal to the
task of quelling the flames. Help was tele--
graphed for from Montpelier and hand
engine and 100 men was loaded on the train
and made the run to Barre in ~ minutes, a
distance of six miles. Help arrived at 6.15,
when it was apparent that the fire was under
control, though burning tiercely. jackson
saved all his horses, carriages ETC., though
he lost quite large quantity OF hay and
grain, with some swine in the cellar. He
lived in the house, which was also burned,
but not until all his furniture and property
had been removed considerably damaged.
Levi j. Bolster owned building valued at
$4,000 and has no insurance. The total loss to
all concerned is probably $1,000 to $SO0O, in
Guiding small losses to David Welch and "
j. Bray, who had rooms in the same build
ing. The cause of the fire is unknown.

THAT MYSTERIOUS SHOE BOX.
The Missing Members of the HUI
man Body Discovered Sunday.

NEW HAVEN, Sept. 2S.-Every once in a
while Wallingford wakes up from its lethargy
and proclaims to the world that she is grad
ually accumulating CHASTITY evidence in the
shoe-box mystery, which, a few weeks ago,
consisted a finding headless and dismem-
bered human body in a shoe box in lonely
field in the western part of Wallingtord and
near the Cheshire line. On Sunday Farmer
Dave GAYLORD was searching for his COWS
near the spot where the body was found:
About half a mile south of the place, IN a
little hollow, he found an old meal sack
which gave forth very offensive odor. He at
once examined it and found inside two hu-
man arms and two human legs in an almost
decayed condition, After he had recovered
from his terror he at once communicated
with Officer Austin, and the find was taken to
DIR. Vail, and he at once said that they were
not only human bones, but in all probability
they belonged to the dismembered trunk.
Search for evidence to explain the mystery
has been hunted over hundred times, and
the theory is that the bag was recently
placed there, as no attempt was made at
concealment. Only the head is missing. and
it is believed that that will soon be found.
This confirms the belief that the crime
was committed in the vicinity, and that the
body will be found piecemeal. Detective
Leet of this city is on the case, and develop
ments are hourly expected.

HE WAS NOT PAUL.
a Fellow Swindies a Firm by Repre-
senting Himself as General Buffers
Son.

LOWELL, Sept. 2S.-Considerable amuse-
ment is created about town at the easy man
ner in which a smooth-tongued young rascal
deceived Merrimac street firm who deals
in musical instruments During the past
four or five months, Gen. Ames his wife, the
daughter of General Butler, and their chill
dren, have been staying at General Buffers
home in Belvidere. The General in conse-
quence has passed more of his time in Lowell
than is customary for him in the summer
months, and his son Paul has not been away
from the city but short time. Last week
Paul Butler entered Rugg g. Gillards store
on Merrimac street and priced several musi-
cal instruments, which he presumably in
tended to purchase for the amusement of his
young nephews and nieces. He left the
store, however, without purchasing. On
Saturday last the young clerk in charge was
pleasantly greeted by rather handsome
and glib. t0ngued young man who represent
ed himself as General Buffers son, and said
his father desired to have him procure two
of the best cornets for inspection If they
suited his father, the young man said he
would probably purchase one, and the bill
could be sent Monday to his residence. The
instruments were furnished the young
stranger, but he has not been seen since that
time.
1t is supposed that the discovery of his
being an impoStor was made Monday when
the bill was sent to General Buffers resi-
dence. The police are now investigating the
affair, and the young clerk is wondering
where his salary is coming from If the in
struments are not recovered.

An Attempt to Poison witnesses.

NEW YORK, Sept 2S.-Specials published
from Columbus, Ohio, report sensation
over the discovery of an attempt to poison
three prisoner witnesses by. penitentiary
officials. The recent exposure of the methods
of managing the penitentiary has created
great excitement and the matter was being
Investigated. Saturday night John Francis,
F. w. Nye and j. W. Campbell, three prison,
ers who have made important afidavits and
are the pTtIncipal witnesses in the lmpehdim4g ein4
Francis insisted that he had been poisoned.
He was suffering, with intense agony and
cramps, and the doctor considered his case
hopeless. The others were soon relieved.
When locked up in their cells at night a cup
of water is left with each prisoner. Analysis
shows that the water in the cup from which
Francis drank contained strong solution OF
corrosive sublimate. He is in precarious
condition. The poisoning has caused great
excitement at Columbus, and the warden has
prohibited any audience with the prisoners
and has lodged them where they can be spe-
cially guarded.

A Terrible Case Discovered at New
Haven, Conn.

New HAVEN, Conn.,, Sept. 2S-Dr. Adams,
of the State Humane Society, today discov-
lect. The doctor called at 26 Castle street
and found Freddie Quinn, young child three
years old, lying on an old sack on the floor,
The body was in filthy condition and coy-

doctor says: Il removed probably thousand
maggots, and there are hundreds still bur.
rowed beneath the scalp. In fact, the top OF
his head is honeycombed with them. They
creased because of neglect to keep the child
clean. The doctor thinks the boys life can
be saved, though he considers it serious
case. John Quinn, the boys father, who is
employed at Bigelow's boiler factory, will
probably be arrested.

by bands that are indestructlble, and, for
local government, divided into States that

must have two parties, so that if one should
cease to carry out the popular Will, the other
may be required to take up the relns OF
power. If believed that these two parties
were equally patriotic would not take the
deep interest in their contentious that have

of the government. But have firm and
strong conviction that the Democratic party

war it forfeited all claim that it might in
former times have had upon the American |
people. 1t is not now fitted to deal with any |

to the Republican party. 1t has no fixed |

A VERMONT ROMANCE.
Pretty Anna HawIey Causes a SEN
sation by EIoping.

RUTLAND, Vt, Sept. 2S.-A romantic and
strange disappearance or elopement took
place at Sudbury. on Saturday night. The
town is twenty miles away from Rutland, on
the border of Lake Champlain. Anna, the
eighteen-year-old daughter of Dr.. Hiram A,
Hawley, station agent at Delmar junction,

spending the summer at the old family home

The Mysterious Harmony Fires.

SHowHEGAN, Sept. 2S.-No fires have
been reported in this town since small
barn was burned Sunday. Close guard is
kept all ever the town and it seems to have
the effect to prevent burning. State Detect
i've True and J. f. Holman are at work in
yestigating but no clue is reported yet.
Theories are numerous and unsatisfactory.
Few now believe any were fired to get insur
ance. One theory is that the buildings of
Hurd and Frost were burned by a little girl
residing at Hurd's. They are half mile
apart and this girl went to the Foss House
after Hurd's was burned. The most of those
who have investigated the matter concur in
the theory that some slow match or fuse
arrangement has been used in part of the
buildings at least. OF the nine burned, six
of them occurred late in the afternoon. A
heavy rain prevails today An insane tramp
calling himself Frank Coleman came from
Athens yesterday. and was arrested here.
The examination today does not indicate
that he could have had anything to do with
the fires in Harmony.
