WASHINGTON, June 14.-The conven-
ton which meets at Chicago next week
will be one of the greatest in our history.
Chicago is city Of conventions. It was
here that Blaine and Cleveland were nom
mated in 1884 Hero was held the con
vention that nominated Mcclellan in 1864,
and here will be held the majority of the
conventions OF the future. Situated
nearest the center Of population. Chicago
can accommodate crowd better than any
other cityin the United States. The bracing
breezes OF Lake Michigan fan the hot
brows Of the politicians, and, as conven-
tions arc always held in summer, the
weather is more pleasant there than at st.
Louis. Cincinnati or Philadelphia. New
York is hotter city than Chicago, and It
u at one side Of the country.

CONGRESS is going TO enforce the
eight -hour-law in respect TO letter
carriers. This is right, although it is
to be done from q wrong motive. Tho
letter carriers OF Wilmington are com
PEELED to work too many hours. Some
OF them 10 to work at O'clock in the
morning and at o'clock in the after
noon they are still at it, with the
incidental duty perhaps Of making an
evening collection. In this kind OF
weather letter carrying in Whining
ton is the hardest sort Of
physical labor. II is harder
work here than in the larger cities, for
there conveyances carry the carriers
to the more distant parts, while here
the carriers have to walk excepting to
the few parts reached by the street
railways We would rather see the
law regulating this matter introduce q
rigid eight-hour system with double
the present force Of carriers than have
the postage reduced from two to ons
cent a letter. The postage is cheaI
enough, while our carriers are over
worked.

There Ia an almost unanimous desire
among the old soldiers OF the Union for a
service pension, at any rate among the
rank aud Ole. One OF the difficulties at
tending the study OF the question. how
svsr, is the impcssibllity OF exactly esti-
mating tke expense, owing to the utter
lack of accurate data concerning the num-
ber and ages Of the surviving soldiers
OF the Union. The Tribune has
repeatedly suggested that in the census
OF 1890 provision should be made for a
complete enumeration Of the surviving
Union veterans and their ages The work
would probably not add dollar TO the ex'
pense OF the censua, and the facts themsel-
yes would be invalu aole in the discussion
OF pension questions, as well 80 useful 20

adopted the proposition. There was nc

ties fearing that vengeance will be
taken on the prisoner by the excited
people. The victim of the lustful
negro is a daughter of Frank Jetfrys,, a
carpenter, of this place, and she is only
five years old. Gibson is q repulslve

Sensible Bicyclists.

Yesterdays Plain Dealer says: "The
wheelmen of the city have taken a SEN
sible course in regard to the sidewalk
ordinance. At a meeting of the lead
ing club held last night it was resolved
that both the club and its individual
members would use every effort to pre-
vent the violation of the ordinance in
the future. Their influence will have
a healthy effect in checking the reck'
lessness of a certain class of riders who
have no respect for the rights of pedes-
trians." We have nothing to complain
of Canton Wheelmen. They invariably
take the street with their machines,
leaving the sidewalk free to pedestrians.
Other cities may well take lessons from
Canton.

EIWhat Am l to DoP

The symptoms of biliousness are un-
happily but too well known. They
differ in different individuals to some
extent. A bilious man is seldom a
breakfast eater. To frequently, alas,
he has an excellent appetite for liquids
but none for solids of a morning. His
tongue will hardly bear inspection at
any time; if it is not white and furred,
it is rough, at all events,
The digestive system is wholly out of
order and diarrhea or constipation may
be a symptom orthe two may alternate.
There are often hemmorrhoids or even
loss of blood. There may be giddiness
and often headache and acidity or dat
ulence and tenderness in the pit of the
stomach. To correct all this if not
effect a cure try Green's August Flower
1t costs but a trifle and thousands
attest its efficacy. (2)

Jumps from a Freight Train at Lucas Sta
ton and Injuries His Leg.
Yesterday afternoon Edwin L. Bell,
residing at 1873 East 9th street, vas
brought to this city on the 3 o'clock
Fort Waye train from Lucas Station,
Richland county, where he was injured.
He was conveyed to his place of resi-
dence on a stretcher, but is not hart as
badly as was first reported. Mr.. Bell
was injured on Tuesday last at Lucas
station on the Fort Wayne railroad.
He was coming east on a freight train
that was running at the rate of 80
miles an hour. When a short distance
east of Lucas Station a cattle
car that was filled with hogs
jumped the track and was running
along the ties. Mr.. Bell was standing
on the next car back of the cattle car,
and fearing that this would cause a
wreck jumped from the train, landing
upon a pile of ties that was lying by
the railway. He lit upon his feet and
in so doing, his right foot was twisted
out of joint and he received some
bruises about the shoulder. He was
found in an III conscious condition and
taken to a hotel where he was cared
for. He became conscious in about a
half an hour after the accident
The train ran on for about 200 yards
when the cattle a overturned and fell
down a small embankment, killing
about 80 hogs. Had not Mr.. Bel
jumped from the train when he did, hi
would have been dashed over the EN-
bankment with the car and Instant!
killed. His ankle was replaced by
physician and he is now doing exceed
ing well.

Found Dead iu the Canal.

Word reached this city city this morn
ing that a mar had fallen into the
canal at Canal Fulton and had been
drowned. The DEMOCRAT learned
today that E. Choffut, a jeweler Of
Canal Fulton, had been missing since
Saturday night, and that about ten
o'clock yesterday morning his body was
found in the canal about a quarter of d
mile from town. Chotfut was a man of
perhaps 80 years of age, and has Oeei
in the habit of drinking to excess.
Saturday night he started for home,
after concluding his business for the
day. 1t is not known whether he had
been drinking, but the suppoSition
is that he had. He did not get home,
however, and his family became
alarmed, and around the town and a
search was inaugurated for the man
which lasted all night. The Oldest SOL
of Choffut found the body of his father
floating in the canal a short distance
from the village. 1t is supposed he
was intoxicated, had fallen into the
canal and drowned. An inquest was
held and a verdict of accidental deatL
from drowning was rendered. Chotfut
leaves a wife and four children.

Today's Cleveland Leader says: Sup
erintendent Wardwell, of the Cleveland
a. Canton, returned yesterday from
Boston where he has been for a week or
ten days. He was not disposed to say
much regarding the future plans of the
company, but in general terms said that
events were shaping themselves very
satisfactorily. 1t is probable that the
contract for the rails will be let definite
yiy next week. The delivery will begin
iin June and continue until early in
August. The rail will be laid as fast as
delivered, one on each side of
the present rails, and will not
at all interfere with the
operations of the road as a narrow
gauge. The old rails will not be re-
moved until the new tracks are com.
pleted. Already some ofthe new stand
ard gauge coal cars have been received
and others will soon arrive. The eX-
tension from Coshocton to GAINESVILLE
has been r%esurveyed and the lire some
what shortened. There is a flattering
expectation that it will be constructed
within a year. Then with President
Blood still in control of the Columbus

tabiished over the two lines. There are
eDther important projects of the Cleve

it is early to give them publicity.

News has been received in this city that
the town Of ArgOnia south west OF There
was entirely destroyed by a cyclone
Wednesday evening. Details of the
storm are meagre, but it is known that
of 20 stores in the place, only two were
left, and many residences were demol-
ished. The storm came up in a funnel
shape, from the southwest, and swept
everything from it's path. Reports so
far have given no account of any one
being killed, although it is thought that
many must have been injured.

For the relief and cure of the inflam-
nation and congestion called "a cold in

Cream Balm than in anything else it is
possible to prescribe. This preparation
has for years past been making a bril-
liant success as a remedy for cold in the
head, catarrh and hay fever. Used in
the initial stages of these complaints
Cream Balm prevents any serious de-
Yelopment of the symptoms, while al
most numberless cases are on record of
radical cures of chronic catarrh and hay
fever after all other modes of treatment
have proved of no avail.

COLUMBUS, o., May 25.-The peni-
Tertiary authorities made a couple of
Interesting discoveries today. A system
of correspondence has been carried on
between the male and female prisoners,
and between prisoners and outside per-
sons by means of invisible ink. The
letters were written in a well
known chemical ink that is in
visible until the paper is slightly
heated when the writing can be seen.
1t is not known how long this cores
pOndence has been carried on, Deputy
Warden Cherrington accidentally dis
covering it today. The prison phys
icians have experienced considerable
trouble in curing burns on the
feet of convicts who work in the fOun-
dries. Slight burns have been known
to disable convicts for weeks at a time
and battle the skill of the physicians.
They suspected the convicts of resort
ing to trickery to prevent their burns
from healing, and gave them a severe
'ducking. After being punished the
~aconvicts confessed that they had beer
putting salt on their burns to prevent
them from healing.

CURTIS, Neb., May 24.-[Special. /
One of the most atrocious crimes i'll the
annals of humanity was perpetrated
, agodut 8 o'clock yesterday morning.
THE victim was Mrs. Anna Bryant,
whose seduction was reported some
time ago. Her seducer was one Lem,
Bryant, and he was forced by public
Indignation and influence to marry her.
since that time he has refused to live
with or care for her, and recently on
account of indictment by the Grand
jury, was compelled to leave for parts
unknown. The unfortunate girl was
compelled to seek shelter at her home
IN Lincoln county, some fifteen miles
from here, and when she reached there
it was reported at the time, because her
parents had refused to shelter her on
account of her shame, that she had
poisoned herself. This proved false,
however, and she of late she has re-
manned there, but she was doomed to
die and her death was reported here
last evening by Mr. Radcliffe, who is a
neigbbor of Mr.. Greenwood, father OF
the unfortunate girl, and her slayer.
The particulars gwen are as follows:
Mr.. and Mrs. Radcliffe were coming to
town and were passing by Greenwood's
mouse when Mrs. Greenwood came
rushing from the house with an infant
in her arms not yet dressed and said:
For God sake take Armies baby and
take care of it, for Greenwood has shot
ner. Don't come near the house for he
threatens to shoot the first person that
comes there. Anna had given birth to
90 q child a few minutes before her
father came in, and he drew his revolv-
;er and shot and killed her" A posse of
citizens will probably leave Tor the
scene of the murder at once.

There was quite an excitement yes
terday in the neighbOrhood OF MI.

of a new born babe in a hollow tIee
Yesterday morning Mr.. Samuel Blazer
concluded to take a walk out through
the country and while passing thrOui h
a neighbours woods, between Mt. Eaton
and Apple Greek, he heard a peculiar
noise. He listened to it for some time
and then passed on thinking it was a
crow, but the noise still continued ana
he stopped. again to listen. He then
began to seek about and see from
whence it came. His attention was
directed to a hollow tree and he began
to investigate. He could hear the noise
but could not tell where it was. He
then looked into the hollow tree and
upon removing a pile OF bark was
shocked to find a small baby that was
crying. The baby was evidently placed
there to die by some one a short time
previous, for the appearance OF 1t 1ndl-
Gated that it was but an hour or 50 old.
Mr.. Blazer then aroused the neighbors
who Immediately came to the woods.
The baby was taken out of its rough
cradle, washed by some of the neigh
bors and given a more comfortable
bed. Mr.. Blazer then notified the
Coroner who lives near by, and he has
taken possession of the child which is
now doing well.
