Good Men and True Selected in
the Closing Hours.

An adjournment was then taken in
order to give the delegates an oppor-
tunity to make nominations for the

On the reassembling Of the delegates
Aid. Pat Conley nominated NJ. Swenson

publican conventions"
Aid. Gehan replied that Mr.. Feyder
was the nominee of the Labor party,

either the Republican and Democrat
conventions for adoption. Mr.. Feyder
would make a StTOug candidate for their

composed Of the labOring classes, and
Mr.. Feyder was a Democrat.
After some discussion the chair ruled
that Aid. Gehan, though III the minor
ity, had 4 right to present the name of
his candidate. and in accordance with
that ruling two nominees were placed
before the convention.
The voting resulted in Feyders secur-
ing forty votes TO thirty-fOur for Sven

Kavanagh. land if we want any other
gentleman besides Judge Egan as
county attorney we should draw on our

sitiOn.
Aid. Fischer resented the insinuatiOn
that Mr.. Ryan was a Republican. and
stated that the Labor party had nomi-
mated him for the office simply because
he was a Democrat. Laughter.
Aid. kavanagh-I do not think Mr..
Ryan's qualifications are sufficiently de-
fined to receive the attention OF this con-
ventiOn.
The Chairman-Anv delegate can

Lolita Is SUED.
Breach of Contract Alleged in the
Opera House Deal.


The peerless little Lolita is in peck
of trouble. The Grand opera house
deal, which was heralded with such
flourish of trumpets, is at the bottom OF
it. For the present the deal is Off. and
as a result a lawsuit is on for S95, 900.
Suit was brought yesterday in the dis
trict court by the Grand Opera House
company against Lolita Crabtree to re-
cover $4,000 for breach of contract.
The complaint alleged that Sept. Z, 1883,
the plaintiff and defendant entered into
q contract whereby the former agreed
to sell and convey to the latter the
opera house and grounds upon which IL
stands for the sum of S142, 800, One-halt
to be paid on the delivery of the deed
of CONVEYANCE and the remainder one
year from Sept. 10. 1888, with interest at
z per cent; payment TO be secured by
promissOry note and mortgage IN the
usual form. By the terms OF the con-
tract the plaintiff agreed to furnish the
defendant. or 0. +. Holman, her agent
and attorney. an abstract of title, and 1t
was agreed further, that the defendant
might have fifteen days to examine
title. September 10 the plaintiff deilv-
cred the abstract TO Holman, who exam
ined it and reported the title to plaintiff.
September 20, at request of defendant,
the contract was verbally changed. it
being agreed that the defendant should
pay upon the delivery of the deed $780,
600 instead of one-half the purchase
price. The plaintiff assented to this.
and on September 10 the defendant paid
the plaintiff. on account. $4,000. The
plaintiff alleges that the defendant ex-
ecuted the note and mortgage to secure
the defendant payment according to
the terms Of the contract amended, but
has neglected and refused to deliver
to plaintiff the first payment of
100000. except 5000. and there is now
due $95. 800.
A bond of attachment in the sum of
100000 has been filed in the name of

Nm the Great Manufacturing Ksta bIfsh-
 ments Of Chicago.

CHICAGO, April 15.-It is stated here that the Standard Oil company has completed all it's arrangements fer building pipe line rapid transportation of the crude oil which is destined to take the place of coal in the great manufacturing establishments. The negotiations for the right of way along the line of the Chicago and Atlantic railway were concluded in New York and since the begin- ming of the week every west bound freight train has contained from two to six cars of wrought iron pipe. These cars have already been side-tracked as far west as Crown Point. Gangs of men are working westward from Lima and from this city distributing the pipe preparatory to digging along the north side of the track the trench in which it will be laid. Machinery will be used in the ex- cayation of the trench and as soon as all the pipe can be distributed the work of laying it into the ground will be conducted as fast as the weather will permit. The pipe is eight inches in diameter and each section is twen- ty-two feet long. To lay one mile requires 24O sections. As 8 carload contains only forty-eight it necessitates five carloads for each mile or about ,050 loads for the whole line. The joints similar to those used in gas aAe stesm AtsinS anu are equally tlSns. The estimated cost of the line without the pumping machinery and reservoirs is about 7,G00 per mile. Theetotal length of the pipe will be about 210 miles and the entire invest ment will aggregate about $2, ,250, ,o00. The Standard company practically controls all the oil territory around Lima and it is esti- mated that for three months it has had it's agents out prospecting and leasing all sil- producing property in the vicinity of Mont pelier about thirty miles south of Hunting ton. Southeast of there about twenty miles @ few borings have been made, but no outsiders have been permitted to 1earn the results
