Tennessee.s Bonds.

NAsHvILLs Tenn. July 5.r-The gen
eral assembly several years ago passedan
act providing for settlement with the
creditors oil the state at 90 cents, with .
per cent. interest, on the bonded indebt-
edness. Most of the creditors funded
their bonds, but number have never
been presented, and consequently the in
terest on these has not been paid In
terest is now being paid on s13, 400, ,00O
bonds, and there are outstanding bonds
which, when funded, will aggregate
81, 100000 OF this amount the United
States holds 1914, ,000 The accrued un-
paid interest makes the sum now stand
ing to the credit of the national govern
ment sS47, ,00l,. 1t is not probable that
this debt will be funded.

dition to these there are representatives
from the National Independent Political
Union and the Negro Democratic Ma

effected, with Hon. John Winans, of

editor OF the Cleveland Globe, addressed
the convention and presented the gayel
made from wood from the house of
Thomas Jefferson, on behalf of the col.
ored Democrats of the United States,
Following this, the rules were suspended

Terrific 7Electr1c Shock.

PORTSMOUTH, o., July 5.-Neil Mol
ster, head engineer of the water works,
while standing on ladder and endeay-
oring to fix the carbons of an electric
light which were suspended over the en-
gine, and which were giving poor illun,i-
nation, accidentally allowed his hands to
touch the bed plates of the pump, which
were heavily charged with escaping
electricity from the dynamos near by,
and was thrown violently backwards.
He was unconscious for some time, and
it is doubtful if he can recover. The
shock was terrible. The entire escape
of electricity from the two currents
passed through his body. His hands are
frightfully burned.
Professor Miller, the electrician, says
itwas a miraculous escape from instant
death, that there is no parallel case on
record, and that the shock was sufficient
to have killed dozen men.

ELKINs AT INDIANAPOLIS.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 5.--lt now
( appears that Steve Elkins came to see
Gen Harrison with two objects tn view.
The first one was to ascertain the4pleas-
ure Of the General in the matter OF or
ganizing the national committee; the
second was to convey to the General GER
tain desires of his associate, Levi p.
Morton. AS the story runs there has
for long time been a pretty stiff cur
-ent OF cool atmosphere between Mr..
Morton and Col. John C. New of this
state. The efforts Of Col. New at: Chi
cago in behalf of Gen. Harrison nre well
known. Itlwas TO have been expected
tnht Gen. Harrison would honor any. re-
quest Col New might make This view
was held by the friends of Col New. II
has been somewhat dispe,led by the visit
of Elkins and the cordial treatment he
received at the hands of Gen. Harrison
Mr.. Morton, 1t seems, does not want
Col. New to hare prominent place
on the national committee. Nor does
he want Col New to perform certain
functions Of the state committee, The
reputed hostility of Mr.. Morton to Col.
New dates back to 1880 as a positive ele-
ment. 1t began in 1876 and was fos-
tered by Zach Chandler, who was chair
man of the national committee Mr..
Morton bases his request to Gen. Harri
son not only on the fact that he is 4
candidate, but also on the ground that
he expects to subscribe heavily to the
campaign fund. There are those who
suspect the trouble between him and
( Col. New may have begun in some finan-
cial matter. This, however, is dispelled
by the certain knowledge that Col. New
and Mr.. Morton never had any business
relations.
E Ii Mr.. Elkins succeeds in having Col.
New placed In one of the rear seats he
Will Eaye accomplished great victory,
but dangerous one. Those who know
Uoi, New say he could contriye to yet
along without the support of Gen. Har-
rison as We'll us the General could with
out the support Of the Colonel and his
newspaper, the indianapolis Journal. The
entente cordiale has not. it ia remesn-
bered, existed long between the Colonel
and General The friendly relations
would be imperiled shoula Gen. Har-
rison undertake to interfere with the re-
lations OF Col. New and the Typograph-
& .ical union; The exposure of ali these
things is due to EIkfns, who failea to
call on Col. New, though he passed the
Journal Office several times The friends
OF Elkins are trying to patch up a truce.
They say that Elkins was q visitor in
the city, and 1t was therefore the duty
/ Of Col. New to call on Elkins. The
Colonel, however, refuses to be molli-
4 fed.

Great Calumet and Helca mine is being
unwatered at the rate of ten feet every
twenty four hours. When the next level
is reached, where the mine Is not sloped
out, the work will be much more rapid.
The report that the foreign syndicate,
which controls the output, was about to
close the mine for while to bear the
copper market, is groundless. The syn
dictate simply limits the output for a
term of three years, and cannot stop the
mine except the output exceeds the con
tract agreed to.
