Swatara In Readiness for the Distinguished
Pahsnt-Fnsnds Hopeful Of
Recovery.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-The United
States Swatara arrived at the Washington
navy yard at noon to-day from Norfolk,
for the purpose Of taking General Sheri-
dan to Nonquitt, Mass.
Gen. Sheridan will be accompanied by
Mrs. Sheridan, Col. Sheridan, Doctors
O'Rsilly and Yarrow and trained nurse.
Every arrangement has oeen made for the
care and comfort of the distinguished pa
tient, and it is expected that he will de-
rive great benefit from, the trip. One OF
the Generals friends in speaking Of the
proposed trip this morning, said the Gen
eral is good sailor and was never sea sick
in his life. He has taken several trips in
the United States steamer Galena and has
become quite attached to that vessel and
it's officers. He wanted to have her for this
trip, but che was out at sea and could not
be secured in time. The Swatara
is vessel of the same type and class, and
as che has Just been fitted out for cruise
is in excellent condition. Her Captain,
Commander MCGOWAN, is an accomplished
officer and is personal friend of the Gen
erals The trip to Nonquitt will proba'
bly, be made in three days, and with few,
il any, stops after leaving the Navy yard
1t may be necessary to stop at Fortress
Monroe for milk, but l doubt it. l pre-
dict that the General will pick up rapidly
from the time he begins to sniff the invig
Grating sea air at the mouth of the river.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, June H.-Rain
fell heavily and almost without cessation
during the day, resulting in putting u
check on the tremendous racket to which
the city has been subjected the past two
days and nights, and also prevented delega-
tions of citizens from calling at the Hsrri-

his nomination. 1t had been ar
ranged that q large number
of ex-Union soldiers should pay

was so unpropitious that the undertaking
was abandoned. There is no dimunition
in the number of call from personal friends
and acquaintances, and the Generals mail
is something enormous, while the flood
of congratulatory kilograms continue to

tonight was one from the chair

Suspicious of foul Play Lead 90 sensa-
tional Discovery.
RALEIGH, N. c., June 27.-There is
great excitement in the little town Of Col
oraine, in BERTHE county.
Week before last DR.. II. s. Keith died
and was buried there. 1t was believed by
some persons that there was foul play in
the case. Public feeling grew SO high
that there was demand for disinterment
of the body and post mortem examina-
tion.
The casket was lifted out and II was
found to contain no body, only some
bricks and pieces Of wood. What became
of the body or whether there was burial
is profound mystery. There are no med
ical colleges anywhere in that region.
Supersticious negroes say that DIR. Keith
rose from the grave, by what power they
know not. There are no signs that the
grave had been disturbed prior to this Off
cial opening.
Seme persons believe that the Doctor
was poisoned. that his body was taken out
of the coffin by the person who poisoned
him, and that the body was buried In
some secret place 30 that investigation
would be fruitless

Finish.

NEW YORK, June T.-Denny Leary, Of
Philadelphia, and Frank Flynn, of Brook
Ign, fought to a finish in the ball room Of
a resort on Long Island, early yesterday
morning
1t was game fight. Flynn scored first
blood. The fighting was savage from the
start. Flynn was severely punished in the
sixth and seventh, but the tide Of battle
turned again in the eighth round. Flynn
got his left home heavily on Leary's mouth
and Leary staggered. Then Flynn's right
got home on the side Of the head and the
Philadelphia man went to the ropes. He
would have been knocked out but for the
call of time, which saved him. Leary was
very weak when time was called, but he
was game and walked brayely to the
scratch. Flynn's seconds sent their man
in good shape and urged him to finish the
fight. He was more than willing and
dashed at Leary in a vicious manner. His
left got home on the Quaker lads mouth
and the right on the jaw and he went to
his knees. He staggered to his feet and
Flynn swung his right on to the point oi
the Jaw and Leary fell insensible in the
center of the ring. Flynn was declared
the winner of the match and $500 stakes.

POOR JOHN SHERMAN.
The Disappointed Old Man Sour on the
ConS ention.

The Disappointed Old Man Sour on the
ConS ention.
WASHINGTON, d. c., June 27.-In talk
ing about the work OF the Chicago eonven-
tion, Senator Sherman said tonight that
the nominations made there were dictated
by New York State, whose delegation,
when the selection of any one was possi-
ble, went upon the theory that the eandi-
dates had to be taken from the two great
doubtful States. They refused to consider
a candidate from any of the States except
New York and Indiana. The Senator said
that he sincerely hoped the New York
theory would prove to be the correct one,
but whether it does OF not the election
alone will show. Mr.. Sherman feels sore
over the result of the convention, especial
ly over the exclusion of the Malone dele
yates. The Malone men were all for him,
it will be remembered. Their exclusion
upon the pretext that that they had not
been elected according to the rule estab'
lished by the convention Of 1884 was, Mr..
Sherman said, great wrong.
Iowa and Kentucky Republicans did
the came thing in their States that the
Malone men did in Virginia, but Iheir
delegates were not excluded. S'me of the
Virginia conventions held by Wise, Ma
hone successful opponent before the Chi
esgo gathering, were but the shadows Of
| faress. Ii the convention had fully IN
derstood the facts in the case, Malone who
| Mr.. Sherman thinks, has done more for the
Republican party in the last lest six yesr:
than perhaps any other Republican IN the
country, would have secured the admission
of his delegates.
Another leading feature of the remark
able convention, Mr.. Sherman said, wal
/ tbe shadow of an unannounced candidate
which hung over it. Blaine would hav,
been nominated without dissent If he haC
said that he wanted the honor, but tol
reasons satisfactory to himself, he refused
to be candidate. Despite this his fol-
| lowing made him a candidate, and oy
every expedient and device tried to noml
nate by pushing forward the other candi
dates in succession and putting then
AGAINST the fisld, while they were unwill
inc that their man should undergo th'
same test. They hoped to kill ofall Oppo
peuts in this way and leave no one eu
Blaine available. These tsctics, said Mr.
sherman, naturally epgendered bad blood
! Mr.. Sherman concluded by saying tina
he would heartily support Harrison ant
Morton, for both of whom be had tn
highest respect and esteem.
