COMING CONVENTION.
DELEGATES ALREADY POURING
INTO ST. LOUIS.
Prospect of Quiet and Harmonious
Meeting, Disturbed Only bv Speech
Making-Chairman Barnum Confident.
Foreign and Domestic Items.

ST. LOUIS. June 3-Delegates 3 to the
Democratic Convention are pouring into
the city, and though the outlook is that
the work Of the convention will be pre-
arranged and quiet and mechanical in its
nature, the orators of the land don't pro-
pose to miss the opportunity for making
themselves heard Three men from New
York are talked Of as heavy speakers on
the name of Cleveland. George kaines
of Rochester is supposed to be certainly
selected for the presentation speech,
though he may be detained at home By
the illness OF his mother. Should this be
the case, there is little talk that Daniel
n. Lock wood Of Buffalo, may once again
pronounce the leaders name to the multi
tude. This is not probability, however,
as Mr.. Lockwood is Federal Office
holder. There is strong wish expressed
by those who are here that Mayor Chaplin
should make the speech, and he and
Daniel Dougherty. the Philadelphia prize
speaker. are mentioned in connection
with the honor. The choice will not be
made until the New York delegation
meets tomorrow night The other
States are ambitious to ill up as much
time in speech making as possible, and
this may lengthen the work of day into
three, though two days is the common
estimate of the probable length of the
convention.
The faces of many veterans in past
campaigns are met on the streets and In
the lobbies. Grizz!ed William II Bar

I'VE Democrats will carry Connecticut

nouncing the war and the North which
had starred it. One gentleman was es
pecially bitter in his remarks. lie declar-
ed his surprise to see any one In this city
on the eve of Memorial day contend that
the late war had been beneficial to this
part OF the country. The Southern peo-
pie, like any other human beings, could
not forget their defeat He, for his part,
did not care for the new sOuth he
wanted the old south back, and did not
want the Northern people to come here,
and he did not care to associate with
them. He even thought it hi1hly i'm
proper for the Richmond Grays TO go TO
New York to take part in the ceremonies
Of Decoration day in the North.
Other speakers were less severe in their
utterances, but they all claimed that the
civil war had depopulated the South, and
destroyed the existing system OF labor.
AL the resources of the South had been
cut off, and 1t had been greatly retarded
in its development. 1t was only since
Mr. Cleveland occupied the presidential
chair that the South had regained voice
In the National Government. The inter.

had been an unjust drain on the Southern
States, the latter being taxed and assessed
only for the benefit OF the rest Of the
Union, and to larger extent than their
Northern brethren.
The question under discussion was
finally put to vote, and IT was decided
by majority of one vote that 1t was the
sense OF the society that the late war was
not beneficial to the South, but rather
injurious

for citizens who are not in the habit OF

fitted up one or more spare rooms for

Among the numerous attractions prof

ciety, organized some time ago, which at

night in one OF the rooms of the upper
floor of the association building when
subjects selected al a previous meeting
are thoroughly discussed. AT last Tues
DAYS meeting of the society the subject
under discussion was whether or not the
late civil war had been beneficial to the
South
The time for debate was limited to
fifteen minutes for each one of the two
speakers who defended the affirmative
and the negative sides of the question.
The arguments used by the several speak
ers were quite interesting, and furnished
ample material for general discussion.
The gentlemen who claimed that the war
had been beneficial TO the South con-
tended that those who formerly owned

THE josie MANSFIELD CASE.
I'D. stokes Tells the Correct Version oi
the Affair.

NEW YORK, June 3--Some truth at
last about the seemingly never-to- -be-for-
gotten Fisk Stokes tragedy.
Ever since the recently and falsely ru-
mored death at Delanco, n J. of the noto-
rious Josie Mansfield, the male gossips of
New York, particularly those who fire.
quent the Hoffman House, have been dis
cussing anew the features Of the tragedy
of sixteen years ago.
The recent discussion has induced Mr..
Stokes TO talk frankly on the subject to a
few Of his intimates. AS a consequence
let me say, although the declaration will
be received with incredulous surprise,
that Josie Mansfield was in no way relat-
ed to the tragedy in the Grand Central
Hotel in January, 1872. For sixteen
years she has been spoken of as the wo-
mHn in the contest for whose favor Fisk
fell As matter of fact Fisk had long
before his death abandoned Josie Mans
field tor Montaland the ballet dancer, and
subsequently, for another, who lived with
her mother, brother and two sisters at the
Grand Central Hotel, where the killing
Of Fisk took place. The origin of the
fatal quarrel was really in an oil refinery
belonging to Stokes mother, and which
Fisk was SO desirous of forcing into tie
then .Dryotic Standard Oil combination
that he prosecuted and pursued Stokes
with hired detectives of the Erie Rail-
road until Stokes turned and shot him.
Its true that Stokes and Josie Mans
field were close friends at this time, but
she mad ceased to have any relations with
Fisk.
And yet there was woman in the
