for the reading of the ballot broke out
again and started up the din. Then the
gigantic form of George A. Camp hurled
itself upon the stage ard roundly berated
the convention for it's sad behavior. This
had the effect of soothing the savage and
excited breasts, and the motion to take q
recess until o'clock was entertained. On
call for the yeas and nays, the long list Of
delegates was read, the McGill men voting
mo- and the majority of the combined OPP
position voting in the affirmative. So many
of the latter split. however, that the vote
could not be considered significant. The
result was: Yeas 1873, nays 17S. So the
convention took a recess until s o'clock.

WITH THE EVENING SESSION,
which did not begin until full half hour
after time, the fun was taken up just
where it was interrupted by the recess.
Knute Nelson had taken prominent posi-
ton directly in front of the chair and the
moment the gavel fell he took the floor and
moved to hear the report of the committee
on resolutions. This was evidently fill
clustering scheme and was at once
jumped upon by the McGill strength.
II. G. Hicks moved to lay the
motion on the table, when Loren
Fletcher climbed the steps, and throwing
his arm aloft began an impassioned speech.
A point of order called him down. but
Hicks withdrew his motion and Fletcher
made his speech, which charged trickery
and chicanery on the statesman from Doug
lass. Nelson quailed under the fury of the

him to answer the speech he declined.
Hicks renewed his motion and Nelson
promptly demanded the yeas and nays,
necessitating the long and weary calling of
the roll. The McGnl men, with little
outside help, rolled up 1919 yeas against 159
nays. sending the fiibustering resolution to
the table. Then the third formal ballot
was ordered, and in due time reached this
conclusion: McGill, IT'S; Gilman, 95:
Gibbs rs; Scheffer. 16. The name of Nc
Gill was greeted with the usual ap-
plause, while the increase for Scheffer
was received with hilarious shouts
from the Hobbies. There was determined
look OH the faces of the McGiH men as
they marched up for the fourth formal
ballot while the Gibbs and Gilman men
wore very funeral aspect. A great many
Scheffer ballots were seen glancing through
the ranks of the delegates, and the friends
of the st. Paul banker were perceptibly
agitated as the count began. AS the McGill
ballots began to pile up. his friends became
boisterous, and before the count was COM
pleted, one cheer went up; it touched off
the convention-or at least the McGill
part of it-and storm of applause was
sent out. 1t was hushed up promptly
and the result was announced: Whole
vote 358: necessary to choice. 1S0;
McGilI 100, Gilman so, Gibbs 40, Scheffer

Suppressed emotion was perceptible in
every Intelligent face when the convent on

A Terrible Erplo.Ion Of Giant Powder.

A terrible explosion took place on the morn
ing Of the 30 at the Atlantic Giant Powder
Works, situated between MoCAinsyille sud
Drakesville, n. J.. resulting in the loss Of 10
lives and the injury of number Of other per-
sons. The conclusion was felt distinctly for 20
miles around, and the glass in houses five miles
away was shattered.
The cause Of the Atlantic giant powder ex-
plosion will probably never be known. A
double force Of men began work at seven in the
morning so that operations could be suspended
from Saturday until Tuesday morning. The
explosion occurred in the mixing loom. The
building was blown into splinteTs, and frag-
ments Of the bodies Of the workmen were
picked up 800 feet from the scene. Some pieces
were taken from the branches OF a tree many
yards away.
The largest portion Of body found would
not weigh more than Is pounds. An immense
excavation was made where the building stood,
and devastation Is apparent for 800 feet in every
direction.

neah Of Mother Teresa.

On Tuesday last week st Ct. Alphonsus Con-
vent Of Mercy, New Orleans, Marie Mathilde
Courier known in religion as Mother Teresa,
died. She was born in 1872 In st. James Par
fish. Her father, DR.. onore Courier, was .
physician In the French navy. Her mother
was Miss Landry, Of Iberville. Miss Courier
was educated partly in the Ursuline Convent,
New Orleans, and partly at Nazareth. Ky. She
entered the New Orleans Convent Of Mercy in
1862, and filed successfully the Offices Of Mis-
tress of Novices and Mother Assistant, and was
for many years in charge Of the Notre Dame
School, corner Of jackson and Constance streets.
Among the works Of mercy 10 which she was
particularly devoted was that Of visiting, In
structing and consoling the inmates of the par
ish prison, which. in company with several
other Sisters, she was accustomed TO do every
Sunday. Her services were especially valuable
smong the sick poor, as she had full knowl-
edge Of medicine and such great self-control-
she belonged to q family of doctors-that abe
could not only assist at painful operations, but
in some cases, when necessary, performed them
herself. Mother Mary Teresa was highly edu-
Gated in French, English, Spanish and other
languages. Her fingers were MS well cultivated
a. her mind, and there was no kind OF work,
from darning stockings for the orphan boys TO
the finest gold embroidery for the priests vest
ments, in which she was not proficient.

Thursday last train on the Lake Shore Road
was thrown of the track by the strikers, near
Forticth street. A baltimore & Ohio train came
along afterward and was derailed. Then
Lake Shore stock train, east bound, came along
and was allowed to pass through all right.
There were four men who turned the switches,
and az they did so they ran swiftly across the
prairie Three or four pistol shots were fired
after them, which brought them TO stop. They
were arrested and taken to the town OF Lake,
where they were identified as the men who
threw the switches and derailed trains few

An Unexpeeted Heir.

In 1858 DR.. John Life, father of Margaret
Life, sued DR.. Z. o. Eisenlord for the seduction
of his daughter and secured verdict of $4,000.
The case was carried to the Court of Appeals,
and after seven years judgment was rendered
against Eisenlord for about $1,000 and costs.
Last Spring DIR. Eisenlord died, and his alleged
son, John Peter Eisenlord, came East and began
an action to get possession of the Eisenlord es-
tate, amounting to $4,000, which was in pos
session Of the direct heirs.
The plaintiff asserts that in June, 1857, DR..
Eisenlord and Miss Life appeared before Jona-
than Mosher, Of st. townsville, Justice of the
Peace and were secretly married. The Justice
promised TO say nothing about the affair, and
no witnesses were present, his lips having re-
NAMED scaled until the death of the doctor.
After the midnight marriage the couple started
for home, when the woman objected to going
to her fathers house, saying he had discovered
her delicate condition and had threatened to
shoot her betrayer. She said it would be unsafe
for either of them to appear at her former
home. The doctor angrily said, why in -
