convention call provided for representa-
tion of 4l2. The difference between
these two sums, 2l5, represented the
contessing delegates present on both
sides. Only as bitter factional CON-
test as that now IN progress in the deniis
oeratic party could produce 30 large an
aggregate as this of unauthorized claim
ants to seats in convention.
The two conventions will present to
the committee on credentials OF the
national demooratio convention ct ST.
Louis two delegations from the territory
OF nSkota. One Of these delegations will
represent the Office holders under the
federal administration aud the other
will represent the non-offioe holding ele-
ment OF Dakota. the Day convention
elected A. w. Bangs, OF Grand Forks,
and i. j. Walsh, of Sphinx, as delegates
and s. V. Arnold, of Edmunds, and T.
B. Morgan, of Bon Homme, as alternates.
The Church convention elected W. r.
Steele. of Lawrence, George Megquier,
of Pembina, as delegates and f. d.
Lally. OF Hamlin, and Otto Peem,ller, OF
Yankton; as alternates
The resolutions on both sides endorse
the president of the United States and
the democratic party in general, but
when they reach the administration in
Dakota they are diametically opposite
in their expressions. Neither platform
contains word In reference to che diyi-
sion OF Dakota or the admission OF Da-
kota to statehood. These are the first
democratic conventions in seventeen
years that have failed to strenuousiy
advocate the division OF Dakota.

HOW FREIGHT IS HANDLED AT ST.
 LOUIS WHARvES.

Statistics for last years commerce in St. Louis shows the arrival of 2, ,361 boats and .272 barges at, and the departure of 2,328 boats from, this port, and the receipt of 867, ,O45 tons and the shipment of 637,060 tons of transferred by ferry, and yet the river has lost interest, and by many is entirely for gotten. All this is very undeserved. Life on the river and in the harbor has all of it's attractions still.
 The time has been when the river front was lined with steamers, nose to the wharf, while now they can crowd in so as to load from the side; but the scene now is none the less active The wonder is just as great now where the great piles of freight are slowed away, and there is just as much commotion in loading and unloading. People with tender corns are just as safe in remaining away from a steamer just in or preparing to leave port as they ever were. They are just as apt to have barrel rolled on these same corns, or to feel the weight of a roustabout's No. 12 shoe.
 large steamers crew is composed of captain, two mates, two engineers, two strikers, six fremen, watchman, three clerks, steward and ten to twenty assist knts and deck force of twenty to forty. Of these the mate alone has to push and ham, mer when time is valuable, except on extra ordinary occasions and except in the quiet of his own precincts where only the boards of the boat and those people for whom his words are intended will hear them The first mate has charge of the leading and unload ing, and in the absence of the captain takes command of the boat A steamer like the City of New Orleans, for instance, will carry 1,5O0 tors of freight very comfortably. The mate must load and unload this in very short time, as occasion often requires, but. regardless of the time in which the work must be done, he must look after any weak points in the boat and follow all rules laid down for the even distribution of cargo If steamer has any weak points, they must be loaded first. Otherwise, the mate begins back aft and loads forward in the center, following this rule in the hold and on deck. and being careful to keep the weight in the center. Then he runs out into the wings and along the sides, always keeping the weight so evenly distributed that the steamer will settle down into the water as nicely as if under the pressure of single piece of ma- chinery at all points. At the same time the freight is loaded with due regard to points of unloading, so that there will not only not be any rehandling, but no strain caused by removing freight from one point and not from another.

REFUSES MEDICAL ASSISTANCE.

An Italian Laborer Suffering From a
 Series of Cancers.
 A rather remarkable case of self treat ment for an almost universally fatal dis ease has come to light at the Hanover Pond Italian shanty. The place is one of the bury railroad, and is inhabited by about 100 Italian laborers One of these men, whose name is given as Pietro, dropped a track spike on his instep few months ago. The wound was considered slight, but two months ago developed into cancer, which rapidly spread. The man took care of the wound himself, using some poultice made of bark, and succeeded in loosening the cancer so that he cut it out with knife It was apparently cured, but short time ago another cancer broke out on his leg between the knee and ankle. He intends to treat the second one similar to the first, and refuses all medical assistance.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-06-01

Danny Richardson of the New Yorks has accepted 149 of 153 chances at second base.
 John Meister is putting up good game for the Worcesters just now. In the last twelve games he has made but three errors at second base.
 When Chris Von der Ahe strikes town this year says the Cincinnati Times-Star, the inhabitants all make a grand rush for their umbrellas.
 The Worcesters have released pitcher John Henry, formerly of Hartford, and have accepted the terms of Stovey, the old Newark colored twirler.
 Cunningham has been released by the Stamfords at his own request, and will give his whole attention to business. "Cunny'' is a good batter but poor fielder.
 Dunlap has fielding average of .952. Pretty good, even for a man the Pittsdurg press calls record player. He has played seventeen consecutive games this season without an error.
 Daily of the Indianapolis, and of the Waterbury of 1884 season, was presented an elegant gold-headed cane at Wednesday mornings game, the gift of Boston friends, and yesterday he received from Woon- socket friends diamond initial ring.
 The Waterburys suffered another defeat yesterday at the hands of the Danburys in the Hating town. The game was char acterized by light batting and sharp field Williams and McAlenny formed the battery TOT tne r~s--l>..svs- The score was to 4.

 Tip O'Neil of the St Louis Browns was recently fined $75 by Captain Comisky fo1 allowing fly ball to drop into his terri tory at left field without making an effort to get it. O'Neil says he did not see it, no1 will he submit to the fine. He says he will sue for it if it is taken from his salary.
 l Bob Barr has picked up new point fo1 pitchers. A new ball was put on him in close game at Rochester There was no one on bases, so Bob made g terrible wild pitch and pitched the new ball over the grand stand. Of course the umpire then put in play the old ball which had meanwhile been returned to the dia- mond.
 l Krocks most deceptive ball is what Silver Flint calls a wave ball that jumps enough in the air to puzzle the big batters. As result more flies are knocked off this peculiar ball than off the curves, drops and swift ball of any other pitcher in the Chicago team. In the five games he played, not including yesterdays at Wash ington, forty eight men were retired on foul and fair fly balls.
 1 No one can tell what 4'Old Sports" gait is or what his condition will be tho next | moment. He will walk around the track holding on to his side, and you would think he was going to drop with ex- haustion before finishing out the mile, when he will take sudden turn and cover half dozen laps like a sprint-runner and come up afterward smiling like the cro- cusses just shaking off the morning dew. He made lots of sport yesterday and every now and then would bave the crowd in a oar.-Springfeld Republican.
