CHICAGO, May SO-R. H. Jones passed
through the city last evening, in Gus,
tody of an officer, en- route to Stafford,
Kansas. Up to about two months ago
Jones was the bookkeeper Of the First
National Bank at Stafford, and was i'm,
plicitly trusted by the bank. Atthat time,
however, he became interested in q
hotel enterprise, and it is claimed that
in order to meet his Obligations he
began appropriating money from the
bank. This ran on several weeks, when

ST. LOUIS, May 3O.-Ex-C x-Congressman
W. R. Morrison, OF Illinois, arrived in
the city last night, and in little chat
with reporter, said:
81 don't see why the Democratic Ma
tional Convention should be engaged
longer than two days. There is nobody
talked OF for Presidential candidate but
Mr.. Cleveland. The delegates will all
come here to votefo him, and their first
expression OF opinion will be unani-
nous. He is stronger to-day with the
party and with the people than he was
four years ago, and we were very well
pleased with him then. OF the doubt
lul States l have nO.special information
except from Indiana, which l believe
the Democrats will certainly carry"
Speaking of the Vice Presidential can
didates, Mr.. Morrison said that he had
never considered himself in the race at
all. He supposed that the custom that
had obtained in several conventions past
would aglin be followed, and that the
party would go TO In diana for the second
place on the ticket. He had never met
Governor Gray, but regarded him with
considerable favor. As to Senator Thur
man, Dir. Morrison thought that ii he
could be prevailed upon to accept the
nomination he could probably have it.

GENERAL SHERIDAN
sum Improving, Though He Is HarrnsSod
by u Distressing Cough.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May So.-Thc
following bulletin was not given out till
after s O'Clock: General Sheridan'i
condition is not so favorable as it was
ut the time of the last bulletin, owing tc
the fact that harrassing cough has ap-
peared, making him restless and pre-
venting sleep. -,
Col. Kellogg said that the-.cough did
not give them any apprehension as the
other favorable symptoms continued.
The damp weather, he thought, might
have caused the cough, and us the Gen.
eraI had secured 80 much sleep recently
he would naturally be q little restless.
No more bulletins will be issued until
$ o'clock tomorrow morning, US it is not
thought that any more will be required
tonight in view Of the Generals i'm
proved health. I.
One OF the physicians say that the
cough heretofore mentioned is caused
by an irritation OF the lungs, and is OF q
hacking nature. The only bad effect is
that it wakens the General when he is
only half asleep, and, therefore, inter
fercs with his rest. 1t may be due to
congestion, or to the same sutfusion
which produced the Gdema, or, again it
may be OF nervous nature. There has
been no recurrence whatever OF the
heart trouble. ...
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 3l.-l2:45
A. M.-At 10 o'clock last night General
Sheridan was suddenly threatened with
sufTocation from pulmonary efusion,
and for while was in imminent peril.
The attack was mastered with difficulty,
At this hour the Immediate danger has
apparently passed.
All the physicians are ut the Generals
bedside and fear that death may ensue
ut any moment.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

Although the convention adjourned
to 3 p. m., it was 3:45 before the tenn
porary chairman, Delano, raped the
body together, and not even then was
business resumed.

vCntion MS n matter of business was one
on the part OF Delegate Turner, OF Penn
sylvania, that telegram be sent the
Brewers Association ut st. Paul, bidding
them defiance, but the matter was
choked off summarily.
:. A memorial from the Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union was read asking
the convention to place in its platform
plank demanding that the Bible be
placed in the public schools; that per-
sonalities be avoided in the coming cam
paign; that sectionalism be completely
buried; and that lastly, that the position
OF the party in 1884 on the woman
suffrage question be reaflirmed. The
