The Delegation Decides to Support Hin
UnanimouSly.
CHICAGO, June 1S.-The New YorR
delegation met at noon to-day with
closed doors and remained in session
for over an hour. The meeting was
called to order by G. R. Sloan, as tempo
rary chairman, and the first business in
order was stated to be the election Of a
permanent chairman. Chauncey NJ. De-
pew was unanimously elected to fill the
position, and R. A. Hamilton was select
ed Us permanent secretary. Frank His
cock was appointed 70 serve on the
Committee on Resolutions; J. B. Web
Der, on the Committee on Credentials; !;
G. Z. Sloan on the Committee Of Perma-
nent Organization, and Gen. Hustled on
the Committee on Rules.
A resolution was then adopted with
out dissenting voice, declaring Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew to be the choice OF the
delegation for the Presidential nomina-
ton and amid chorus OF cheers the
meeting adjourned, while the delegates
burst into the hall shouting "Hurrah
for Chauncey NJ. Depew," and giving
other evidences OF enthusiasm; nor was
their ardor dampened to any especial
extent, when answering cheers for Aiii-
son and Gresham came from the respeC-
tive headquarters of those candidates,
nor when the Iowa delegation marched
in front OF the New York rooms, keep
ing step to the refrain of "Allison, Alli-
son, William B. Allison"
Mr.. Depew held quite reception and
he received many congratulations upon
the unanimity shown by his delegations

CmcAGo, June 1S.-When Mr.. Depew
returned from church yesterday he came
into the packed and steaming rotunda
OF the Grand Pacific Hotel, wearing his
straw hat on the back Of his head, and
his eagle beak well advanced, and greet
ed his acquaintances with "How arc
YOU, Jake" and "Hello, Jim," &C., after
his tnann6r. As he pissed upon his
beaming way couple OF Nebraska men
eyed him, and one said: "He does not

WASHINGTON, D. G., June lS.-The
optimistic indifference Of President Tur-
ner to the INrELLIGEScER's warning that
the State University is in danger OF
losing its Military Professorship is little
short Of amazing, granting that the Pres
ident has at heart the welfare OF the In
stitution. A proposition is now pending
before Secretary Endicott in the form OF
an application OF the President and
Faculty OF the Military Institute at Lex
ington, Virginia, to transfer Lieutenant
Wilson, OF the Fourth Artillery, from
Morgantown to Lexington. This means,
as things now stand, that Morgantown
will have no further detail, unless the
pending bill offered by Senator Mander-
son TO increase the army details from
thirty to forty shall pass the House,
which is now very doubtful. The con-
tidence OF President Turner is seemingly
based upon War Department assurances
a year old.
Iii fully understood in the War De-
partment, rs the INTELLIGESCER ascer-
tained to-day from the best possible au-
thority, that Morgantown is to be drop
ped after July /, and il this threatening
is TO be averted President Tur-
ner and the Morgantown faculty will be
forced to aggressive measures. Kenna,
Faulkner and Wilson may be able to
scotch the retrograde movement. The
case calls for immediate action. Lex
ington has not had an army officer since
the war. Virginia already has one de-
tail but the Lexington institution pre-
sents such q strong numerical argument
over Morgantown, that the favor of the
strongly inclines toward it.

Depow,s Attitude Toward Blaine

CHICAGO, June lS.-Mr, Depew has
been SO outspoken and persistent in ad-
vocating Mr.. Blaine's nomination that
no one questions that, next to himself,
he still stands for the Maine statesman.
In this he is backed by more than half
of the New York delegates, and espe-
cially those from New York city and
Brooklyn, who seem to have caught the
fever worse than ever since they have
mingled with the Blaine crowd from the
Golden Gate. The problem with them
is not so much whether it should be
done MS how it should be done. On this
they are as much at sea as ever, and
chaos and doubt still reign supreme.
They will continue to reign, probably, till
the atmosphere clarifies more and the
wisdom OF nominating Mr.. Blaine on
taking him at his word is thoroughly
canvassed. II will not be attempted un-
less It can be done with practical unan-
unity. This much can be said OF the
Blaine sentiment among the New York
delegates, that in talking with them in
dividually they will not listen to any
name but that Of Blaine or pepew, and
after those two names comes chaos.
Sheridan Shook, alter talking with del
egates from States, said that he was
more than ever convinced OF the neces-
sity for nominating the Plumed Knight.

RACINE, Wis, June 1s.-This is the
thirtieth day since John zaoahar, the
Caledoniap iaster, partook of food.
There Is no sham about his case. The
family physician states positively that
to his certain knowledge Zacahar has not
taken one drop of noprishment, The
last few days he has taken to sleeping n
good deal and does not take the exercise
he did. He is very reticent and quiet,
and when told that his meals are ready
merely says: "When wapt to eat I'lllet
you know. l think l know my own
business best" All manner OF dishes
have been prepared for him in hopes Of
tempting his appetite, but without avail.
II he should take notion to break his
fast now it would probably result in
death, unless it was done with the ut
most caution. He has grown very weak
and is losing flesh rapidly. The doctor
says that before Zacahar began his fast
be was an elegant specimen Of physical
manhood. He has consulted prominent
physicians OF Milwaukee and Chicago,
but thus far no has heen unable TO de-
eide what is likely TO benefit his pa

A fire broke out at one o'clock this
afternoon in the baker house on Rail,
road avenue in the center of the town,
and owing to the high wind blowing al
the time It could not be controlled until
1t had destroyed the whole business
portion OF the town and several hun.
dred residences. The loss is put by
insurance agents at n million dol
lars, but this is likely large
estimate and as most OF the insurance is
written outside OF town, the agents who
have placed the most OF it cannot be
seen to obtain any figures. An area a
mile long by an average OF almost hall
mile wide, extending from the Roches-
ter 'colliery's store to the Terpe house
and othe extreme end oiLong street on
the east side OF town is a complete ruin.

THREE THOUSAND PEOPLE ARE HOMELESS
and destitute tonight, and in need OF
immediate aid or they must suffer. The
flames spread so rapidly that many OF
them escaped with barely their clothing
which they wore. The origin of the
fire could not be determined. Various
causes are given, but the most plausible
is that a kitchen hue was defective. A
fire engine came at Z o'clock from
Renova, but by that time evil was
wrought and it afforded little aid.
At 12 midnight the fire has exhausted
itself, having no more available ground
to work on. The night is calm. The
insurance is very light, us the companies
were afraid OF the wooden buildings OF
which the town is so largely built.
Therefore the losses are largely without
any protection. John Dubois, the lum-
Der king, has, it is rumored, determined
to donate $500, 900 to the sufferers.

Railroad Company for Injury,
YOUNGSTOWN, o., June lS.-The large
verdicts rendered by juries in this coun-
ty when railroad corporations are de-
PENDANTS has caused a deluge of that
kind OF litigation here. During the past
week petitions were fled against
railroads in which the ac-
gregate damages claimed amount 10
100000 for personal injury. They are
for all sorts OF injuries, from mashed
fingers to loss of life. Only a few days
ago boy named John Alexander was
awarded $4,000 from the Pennsylvania
Company for the loss of leg.
NowT. II. Beggs, of Kent, Ohio, has
begun suit against the New York, Lake
Erie & Western railroad for $4,000, al
leging that while employed as a brake
man, through the negligence Of the con-
dactor, two Of his fingers were cut of.

Sherman would have sixty-fiye of the
Pennsylvanla vote when Mr.. Filter
dropped out as he would after the first
or second ballot. Filters candidacy is
simply result OF the trucking of the
local politicians to the vanity Of man
who holds control Of all the patronage
in the city. There is every reason to
believe that Quay can hold the Penn
sylvania strength for Sherman as longas
he cares to do so. The significant fact
that the National Committeeman was
not named by the caucus shows that
what has been asserted is,true ofthe Sen:
ator's candidacy for the Craftsmanship OF
the National Committee.
