DOVER, DEL, Aug 1.-THE Demo-
cratic State Convention assembled mere
to-day, and after several hours of inde-
scribable confusion effected permanent
organization and proceeded to ballot for
a can didate for Governor. The first bal
lot settled the matter, resulting in the

Another hour OF excitement resulted
In the nom natIon, by viva voce vote, OF
John B. Pennington, OF Dover, for Con-
gress.
The platform was then speedily adopt
ed, after which the convention adjourned.
Following Is the platform:
The Democracy of Delaware In conveH.
tion assembled declare their adherence to
the principles enunciated by the National
Democratic Convention held in Chicago in
1884, and in sist that their faithful observ-
ance in the management of public affairs
is essential to the proper government and
prosperity and happiness OF the American
people. Federal taxation can only be
rightfully imposed to provide for
the necessary expenditures OF the
government, including the pay
ment of pensions to persons entitled
thereto the maintenance OF the public
credit and gradual reduction of the public
debt. We, therefore, favor such reduc-
tion and modification Of our tariff laws
as will relieve the people Of the country
from unnecessary burdens, while provid-
ing the necessary revenues to meet lagiti-
mate demands upon the public treasury.
The Democracy OF Delaware, In common
with the people OF the whole country, re-
cognize in President Cleveland an honest
and patriotic chief m MAGISTRATE, anxious TO
secure proper administration of public
affairs, and entitled to the confidence and
support OF the American people.
The Democratic party OF Delaware
points with just pride 10 its management
OF the affairs OF the State for the last
thirty years, as the strongest possible
claim TO the confidence and support OF
the people OF the State.

AT THE PROSPECT HOUSE.
PROSPECT HOUSE, n. Y, Aug. 1.-THE
Presidents party arrived here at O'clOck X
this afternoon, after a continuous and
uneventtul ride from Albany. The
midnight train, on which they lett
Albany last night, was an hour
late in reaching Plattsburg. Upon
reaching Rouse's Point this morning the
party were within mile and half OF the
Canadian line. A special engine and SIN
gle baggage car were coupled to the
Presidents Car at the Point, and
it was quickly pulled out OF
sight, greatly to the astOnishment OF sew
eral enterprlsing gentlemen who had been
sitting up all night Watching for that car
with the determination of sticking close
ly to it until it reached its destination.
At MOira, on the OgdeDsburg and Lake
Champlain road, a dozen miles beyond
Malone, the special was switched off on
the Northern Adirondack railroad and
was drawn into the wilderness, dis

their second meal Of the day while walt
ing for an exchange of horses. Seventeen
more miles of carriage riding brought
them to Saranc Inn, formerly the Pros
pect House. and they we're given quarters
in a cottage adjoining this hotel. They
will take their meals with the other guests
in the public dining room. Tonight, at
| Mrs. Cleveland's request, the whole party

BLACKS LINE OF DEFENSE.
The Man who Threw the Bomb De-
clared the Only One Responsible.

clared the Only One Responsible.
CHICAGO, Aug. 17.-This was the etftieth
day OF the anarchist trial, and Capt. Black,
the leading counsel for the defense, began
the closing plea for the prisoners as soon
as the jury were seated.
Capt. Black stated that dynamite, so
far as the origin OF its manufacture was
concerned, had no connection at all with
the doctrines of Socialism, and then laid
down this to be the rule of law the jury
should follow In their deliberations:
''When man is charged or sought TO be
charged with crime, as in this case, the
people must show who threw the bomb
who did the deed-and must show that
these defendants were connected Directly
with the guilty man." He then proceeded
to enlighten the jury, saying that the State
mist0ok their functions altogether.
THEPRosECUTING LAWYERS CRITICISED.
The speaker said the counsel for the
State were wrong when one OF them ad-
vised the jury that upon them IL was de-
pended to maintain the law and govern
ment because these defendants plotted
against the State. They were revolution
lists, it was said, but that was not true.
There could be no revolution except when
the heart OF the people rose to redress
some great wrong. Continuing the coun-
sci gave scientific account OF dynamite
and experiments with it as an agency OF
modern warfare. Then he declared that
dynamite was in this world to stay,
and that these defendants were in no
wise responsible for 1t. But the Hay
market bomb was thrown on the night of
May 4, and murder resulted from 1t. Who
was respOnsiblef The man who threw
the bomb, no one else. He argued that
these defendants could not be convicted
as accessories before the fact. He said
that the State had ali through this case
attempted to secure conviction by appeal
ing to the jury's prejudice and passion,
and absurdly declaring that the purity
OF our institutions depended on the pun
ishment of these men.
This afternoon Capt Black continued
his argument for the defense, and at ad-
journment mad not yet concluded. He
promised to finish tomorrow forenoon,
when States Attorney Grinnell will begin
his argument.

BOSTON, Aug. 1.-THE managing di-
rectors Of the Atlantic Mills Company are
still engaged upon the books of the cOrpo.
ration in relation to the shortage OF Will
liam Gray, Jr., late treasurer, but at pres
ent the exact amount OF his defalcation
cannot be learned with certainty. In an
interview this morning with two Of the
principal directors, who are anxious that
their names should be withheld, the fol.
lowing facts were learned: Last Friday
deficiency was discovered by an exam
iner appointed by the directors, and on
Saturday Gray came to the Office and was
confronted with the charge.
CONFESSED HIS CRIME.
After a moment or two he confessed the
crime and acknowledged that he had en-
bezzled funds OF tho corporation TO the
extent Of between $500,000 and 5000, 200,
but as to the use to which he put the
money his only reply was: Building
operations" This accounting is believed
to be true by the directors, who say his
operations OF this character IN RoXburv
have been notorious. 1t is also believed
that Gray has told the trdth regarding
the amount embezzed, and the directors
do not expect to find that 1t will exceed
5000. 900.
ON YACHTING CRUISE.
On Sunday Gray, accompanied by his
brother-in-law and psrty of gentlemen
friends, went on board his yacht, the
Huron, and cruised about the lower har-
Dor and bay during the day, and spent
the night below. Monday morning the
yacht came up to the city and landed
Gray and his companions on the Central
wharf. Gray ordered the Captain to get
ready TO sail again at 2 O'Clock that even
ing, at which time Gray stated he would
be on board. The Captain has not seen
Gray since. and the Huron still lies at
her anchorage.
POLICE ON THE LOOKOUT.
The police have searched in every di>
rection for Gray, but he, beyond doubt,
has left the city. Detectives have guarded
all the approaches to Canada, and the
police in all the towns and cities in this
part OF the State have been notified to look
for the defaulter. He may possibly be
traced by his turnout. Gray Is 80 years
old. He wears dark mOustache tinged
with gray, and the top of his head is
slightly bald. His hair is streaked with
gray and he brushes 1t so as TO cover his
badness. His neck and hands are much
sun burned. The officers say he has gone
empty handed, the money he took having
been spent during the years he was spec,
ulatiDg and keeping the yacht. He is
assessed for 1852, 800 real and $4,000 per-
sonal property, all of which, it is stated,
is heavily mortgaged.

ENGLANDs AFGHAN THORN.
The Commission Recalled and q
War Scare Not Improbable.


LONDON, August 1.-THE Cabinet sat
today from noon until 2 O'Clock. The
Queens speech was considered and ap-.
proved. The Afghan difficulty was also
discussed. 1t is understood that Col.
Ridgway, OF the British Afghan Commits
sion, has been recalled because he felt
that the difference between Russia and
England had better be dealt with by the
Foreign Office.
The Pail Mall Gazette says IL is glad
the Afghan Commission has been recalled,
as 1t will hasten the settlement of the ques-
tiOn of ownership II Khamiab, which
Russia claims by direct negotiations be-
tween London and st. Petersburg.
The st. james Gazette says the ques-
tion 10 as far from settlement as 10 was
fifteen months ago. Russia claims Kha-
miab and the Afghans refuse to give it
up. A conflict Is likely to occur at any
moment, the Gazette says, and it rests
with England to say what IL can and will
do 10 prevent it's allies from being plum.
dered. The task OF Lord Iddesleigh, the
Foreign Secretary, will be easier when he
is relieved of this useless and embarrass-
ing comm ission.
The Globe says that nothing would suit
Russia better than to keep the Khamiab
question open to revive when it suits her.
THE REPORT DENIED.
LONDON, Aug. 49,, A. M.-The report
that the government had decided upon
the immediate withdrawal of the Afghan
Boundary Commission is officially denied.
The government is awaiting Russia's re-
ply respecting a small portion Of the AT.
CHAN boundary not yet settled in the
Oxus district. Until the reply has been
received no decision will be taken respect
ing the date OF the withdrawal Of the
commission, but whatever may be
the nature of the reply the
commission will return to India
before winter. In spite OF the official de-
NAL, it is believed in well informed cir
cles that the Standard Is virtually cor.
rect in stating that the government has
asked Russia for a yes or no reply. 1t is
not likely. however, that such a reply
will be given.
A dispatch from Slmla says that the
British-Afghan Commission will return
TO India in September, via Cabul.
The news OF the intended withdrawal.
Of the Brltish-Afghan Commission, had
depressing effect upon European bourses
RUssIA's DETERMINATION.
Moscow, Aug. lila Viedomost
says that the more Russia is forced back
from Eastern Europe the more she will
devote her attention TO Asia, where her
task Is far from completed in regard to the
occupation Of the port. The Lazareh
paper says that no protests or intrlgues
will prevent her from occupying a worthy
position in the Pacific.

ENGINES TO RUN With SODA.
No SCOT, No Cinders, No Fire-New
Street Car Power.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 17.-There are
being constructed at the Baldwin Loco
motive Works four locomotives which
are to be run by soda, which takes the
place of fire. Soda mas much the same
power as coal without any of the Often
sive gases. The engines are nearly
finished, and are to be shipped TO Mime
apolis, Mlnn., and run In the streets of
that city where steam engines are forbid
den. The engines look like ordinary pas
senger cars. Inside the boiler is
placed five tons Of soda, which,
upon being dampened by steam,
produces an Intense heat. When the soda
is thoroughly saturated, the action ceases
and then it Is pecessary TO restore IL by
driving the moisture from II, when IL is
again ready for use. These engines are
the first OF their kind built In this c0un-
try. They have about the same power as
those ofthe New York elevated roads,
and will readily draw tour light cars.
soda engines are used in Berlin and other
European cities successfully and traverse
the ST. Gothard tunnel under the Alps,
where steam engines cannot be used be-
cause the length OF the tunnel renders 1t
impossible 10 devise a system OF yentila-
ton which will carry of the ioul gases

a swINDLER STOPPED SHORT.
He Represents Himself as Post
master of Savannah,


WASHINGTON, Aug. It's. c. Short
ledge, of Media Academy, Media, Pa, to-
night met on the street IN Washington
and caused the arrest of a man who at
tempted to swindle him by means Of a
forged draft, on Aug. 8, and who is be-
neVed to have been successful IN
sWlndling others by the same means. He
pretended to wish to place son at school
at Media Academy, and in payment OF
fees and board In advance rendered a
draft for $500, expecting to receive $50
change. His plausibility deceived Mr..
Shortledge so far as to have the check
cashed at his local bank, but on account
OF lingering suspicion he arranged to
pay the $50 the next day, but the money
was not called for.
SAVANNAH DRAGGED IN.
The draft purported to be drawn by
Hartridge, Son ~ Co., of Savannah, upon
the Bank of America, of New York, and
was indorsed by the latter bank "no ac-
count" The swindler, in his dealings
with Mr.. Shortledge, gave the name OF
William l.. Law. A Fredericksburg pa
per, of recent date, describes the swindle
perpetrated upon Father Donohue, of that
place, by much the same means
The description of the Fredericks-
Ourg SWlnQlef corresponds Win

butin Fredericksburg his name was Will
liam FL. Swallow. The Endorsement on
the draft gwen Mr.. Shortledge bears evil
dence that the swIndler started to write
his name civilian H." but altered the
"H" to M" At Medina the man repre-
sented himselfto be Postmaster of Savan
nah, and that he was friend Of Gen
Gordon, whose son he also wished to have
admitted to the school. The Fredericks
burg man represented himself as editor
of the Southern Bivouac. He was traced
to Washington, and the police here have
been looking for him for two days.
