is little interest in the Norfolk Conyen-

the country will recognize. The Norfolk
Convention ought to nominate delegates
to the st. Louis Convention, and when
the delegation gets there it will see, as
at Chicago, that the State Of Virginia no

view of the contingency ana of the gener-

ing was more intense than ever, and not
only was taken which was unanimous
against signing either paper-the red or
black--but the most solemn oath known TO
the Sioux was taken. Each arose and
swore by the Great Spirit that he would
never sign the papers. Running Antelope,
who has always been friendly to the whites,
is outspokenly opposed to the measure.

THE OLDEST LIVING DEMOCRAT.
Patrick Collins, Aged 1O6, Hopes to vote
for Cleveland and Thurman.
IN Y Gfar Anp
On. y. Star, Aug. }

The oldest JefIersonian Democrat Of the
country has been discovered by Star re-
porter. Patrick Collins, of Brooklyn, &C.
cording to his own statement, is now 100
years old, and, even at this advanced age,
is intelligent and active.
When Mr.. Collins left his native county
of Monaghan, Ireland, many years ago, he
came to this country as railroad laborer.
For seven or eight years he kept to this
work, until for time his health gave way.
Nevertheless he persevered and succeeded
in keeping in comfortable circumstances a
family of three daughters and two sons.
q. short time ago Mr.. Collins was knocked
down and run over by an express wagon
in Myrtle avenue His youngest son,
Patrick, and his wife cared for the old
gentleman as best they could for time,
but finally decided that he would be much
better off for g time with the Little Sisters
of the Poor at Deka!b and Bushwick
avenue
Through the courtesy of the sister in
charge the Star reporter was allowed an
interview with Mr.. Collins. No one would
suspect, from his bearing, that the old man
carries the weight of 106 years upon his
shoulders. He is active in body, and his
mind is very clear. He suffers from deaf
ness, and that defect evidently annoys and
confuses him at times Notwithstanding
this, however, Mr.. Collins is always affa-
ble and certainly displayed great interest
in the affairs Of the day
Yes" he said, 81 can very distinctly
recall, old as I am, the times of Washing
ton, though I was not an American then,
Bnd believe I revere and honor his mem.
ory, but during more recent times, when
was of an age to take more active interest
in the hopes and aspirations of the country,
Jefferson was my favorite."
Mr. Collins is quite pedestrian, and
even now takes walk every few days.
He says that he will walk up to the polls
in November as briskly as any of them,
and deposit vote for Cleveland and Thur
man

ATTACKED BY A SHARK.
Captain Tsppen Has Battle with Man
Easter in the Lower Bay.
IN. Y. Star, Aug. II

While Captain Fred. Tappen, of the
ferry-boat South Brooklyn. and the Misses
Walcott, of Stapieton, were out sailing in q
catbeat yesterday afternoon in the lower
tay, they were startled by big shark ap-
pearing near the boat The young ladies
screamed, and Captain Tappen had all be
could do to keep the boat from being cap
sized. The shark followed in the wake of
the boat with its big jaws wide open, finally
getting so close to the boat that Captain
Tappen could reach it with an oar.
The Captain remained cool, although his
companions continued screaming. With
all Of his strength he battered the shark
over the head with the oar until the blood
from the man-eater made the water Grim
son. The battle was very fierce Finally
the shark sank from sight. Captain Tap.
pen believes that he either killed the shark
outright or mortally wounded it. He says
that the man-eater looked to be about l2
feet In length. One of the young ladies
Ii the boat tainted willie Captain Tappen
was battling with the shark. After the
latter disappeared, the Captain at once put
into Stspleton, where the much-frightened
Misses Walcott were landed.

THE JACKSON ELECTION.
An Impartial Statement of the Facts Of
the Case.


the Case.
WASHINGTON, August 3.-The minority
report of the Senate committee on the
Jackson, Miss, election, where certain
United Sts.es officials were charged with
aiding in suppressing the colored vote, was
presented to the Senate today. 1t is signed
By all the Democratic members Of the com
mistee, and makes nearly 200 pages Of
closely written manuscript. It disagrees
with the report of the majority. and finds
that the colored vote was not suppressed
By any organized action Of the citizens, and
that none Of the United States officials took
part ip any movement looking to that end,
or acted IN any manner incompatible with
their duty as officers or citizens having the
good Of the community at heart.
The report reviews at great length the
troubles preceding the election. The kill
ing Of Gambre0 in the Prohibition cam
pagn, and the mob which followed, and
the killing Of Mitchell by colored man
named Whiteside. backed by others-these
things and the failure of Mayor McGill to
enforce the law through his colored police
and aldermen, led to meetings of the whites,
irrespective Of party, to nominate ticket
exclusively Of white men against McGil.
The latter, seeing the situation, proposed
by letter that an election by whites exclu-
sively be held, but this was rejected by the
other side, when they proposed primary
election by the whites to select candidates.
This proposition was rejected by McGill;
but, owing to the general excitement, and,
possibly, for the purpose of manufacturing
'political outrage" material, the negroes de-
termined not to vote, and did not appear at
the polls on election day.
The report insists that there was no
movement, and with one exception no
speech, at the meeting held in favor of
the suppression Of the colored vote, except
the proposition of McGill, the candidate of
the party with which the negroes usually
voted The stories of the cannon used at
the polls are denounced as untrue, and
growing out Of the presence of cannon
used for powder firing a. political meetings.
The report finds nothing to warrant the
removal of the four officers, as recon-
mended by the majority of the committee,
and says the Senators have exceeded their
authority in recommending such action, as
the power of impeachment would be with
the House. not with the Senate or the Pre-
sident.

philadelphia Times, August 2.)

There was a sensational scene near
Bridgeton before DAY ybreak yesterday morn.
ing when three strange men tried to destroy
the Jersey geological wonder. The men
were surprised by Amos Penn and Frank
Lowell, the discoverers of the What -Is-It, "
and after an exchange of shots, they were
driven into the woods back of the Ireland's
mill road. Ever since the two humble
quarrymen struck the petrifed man and
the strange animal whileprospecting in the
loan for stone, there has been the hottest
kind of envy and the pit has to be guarded
day and night.
The body of the man was found first,
and that night was left unguarded. At
daybreak the next morning the human
fossil was found broken into pieces The
vandals had completely destroyed its scien.
tifc value Late that day Penn and Lowell
struck the hoof of the wonderful animal,
which they soon revealed to the light.
While one slept the other discoverer kept
watch in the pit in which the animal lies.
Just after 8 o'clock yesterday morning
Lowell was taking nap under tree and
Penn was at Arnold's pond near by getting
a can of water when he saw three men
pushing their way through the thickets in
the woods. Penn dropped the can and
slipped toward the pit just as the first man
mounted the low fence that surrounds the
excavation.
