THE nomination Of Coy. J. i. Foraker by
the Republicans of Ohio for third term il
an unusual compliment. We do not now
recall any other Governor who has been so
honored. But the Governor deserves it, and
it was his pre-eminent accountability to his
people that wrung the nomination from the
reluctant politicians. Jealousy of his rap
idly growing popularity made many of them
strongly oppose him, but he was so unmis-
takably the choice of the people that they
had to yield TO the inevitable The veter-
ans are particularly delighted with his sue
cess, for they regard him as thoroughly one
of themselves, and their able, outspoken
champion. He has been decorated with
abuse for speaking aud acting as they would
have him speak and act, and they are glad
the people Of Ohio appreciate him so well.

The consolidated reports OF the GAR.

ordinarily, the poorest in point Of gain, in
some cases even falling behind the last quar-
ter of the previous year in membership in

Being Pressed for a Bear Story, Sunset
Cox Tells One of His Own.
ESPECIAL TELEeRAM TO THE DIsP ArcH.i
WASHINGTON, August 12.-Surrounded
by group of correspondents to-day. Hon.
S. s. Cox was overwhelmed with complaints
that he had not brought with him from the
Western wilds good fish or bear story. He
evidently expected the onslaught, for with
out winking he got off the following:
When Mrs Cox and were at An inn or stop
ping place for visitors in the park they told us
of big bear that came down every evening,
thrown out to the hogs. The hog pen was
about mile back of the house in the woods.
and this bear would come down every day to

they never got fat enough for his TASTE While
we were at dinner they told us that the girl
who was waiting on the table had met the bear
basket of clothes from wash. She had the
clothes on her head. She said she was not
afraid, but she dropped the clothes and ran.
Mrs Cox and had suspicion that they were
fooling us. but If there was O bear We wanted
to see it. What time does it come DOWN" 1
asked. "About8 O'CLOCK" I" they replied. The
sun doesn't go down until after o'clock. So

the bear. Sure enough we met him in the
woods, great, big fellow. He gave side
glance at us and shuffied off asn he we're about
to run away. We were about 20 yards from
him, and Quickened our pace to advance on
him. He suddenly changed his mind about
running, and we changed our minds also. He
turned toward us and growled. REMARKED to
Mrs. Cox that as she was getting fat and could

The Emperors of Austria md Germany Are
Now HuRgIng Each Other.
BERLIN, August 12.-Emperor Francis
Joseph, of Austria, arrived to-day. He was
met at the station by Emperor William,
Prince Henry and Prince Bismarck. The
weather was fine. The imperial party took
carriages and drove to the castle by way of
the Thiergarten and Unter den Linden.
Troops were stationed along the route from
the station to the castle. The houses were
decorated with flags and bunting. Large
crowds assembled along the route and
cheered the Emperors as they passed. Sa-
lutes were fired by the artillery in honor of
the Emperor of Austria.
Among the distinguished persons who
met Emperor Francis Joseph at the rail-
way station were Count Herbert Bismarck,
General Won Moltke and General Won
Blumenthal. The meeting between the two
Emperors was OF most cordial character.
After Francis Joseph and Prince Henry
had exchanged salutatIons the Imperial
visitor shook hands with Prince Bismarck.
Upon arriving at the palace the Austrian
Emperor was welcomed by Empress Augusta
and ex-Empress Frederick.
A Berlin paper in a prominent article
welcomed Emperor Francis Joseph on be-
half of the German people as a friend and
ally of Emperor William. All the even
ing papers have similar articles. The
North German Gazette says the visit of the
Austrian Emperor will further insure the
peace of Europe.

WASHINGTON, August 12.-Mr Hadfeld,
of New York, Vice Grand Commandero of the
Grand Army, was in the city to-day, He
met a number of Grand Army men here, and
talked freely about the encampment which
will be held in Milwaukee on the 2Sth inst.
One of the absorbing matters of interest at
present among Grand Army men is the cleo
ton which will be held for Grand Com
mander, and the claims of the various can
didates. Mr.. Hadfeld said he thought
General Alger, of Michigan, who was a can
didate for the Republican nomination for
President, stood a good chance for the place.
There are several other men who are desir
Gus of the honor.--Among them are Lieuten-
ant Governor Chase, of Indiana; General
Grubbs, of New jersey; Judge Veazey, of
Vermont, and General Barnum, of New
York. The delegation from this city,
escorted by the Grand Army, will leave
here on the oath instant. Secretary Rusk,
Commissioner Tanner and General Dudley
will be their guests on that occasion. Com.
missioner Tanner, who has been mentioned
as a candidate for Grand Commander, SAYS
he is not a candidate for the position, and
even if he was unanimously elected he,
would not accept. The fact is, can't"
he added. 81 could not be Commissioner of
Pensions and Grand Commander at the same
time. The latter POSITION requires man to
travel about great deal. am poor man,
and there is no salary Attached to the place,

Mr.. Tanner thought that either Mr..

Tanner termed it, would be the coming

ESPECIAL rKLKoRAM TO THE pIsPATCH.l
LAWRENCE, MASS, August 12.-There
was tragic ending of dissipated life at
the police station tonight. A father
was arrested on the charge Of numbering his
infant boy, and while the doctors were per-
forming the autopsy on the child's body,
the father hung himself in his cell.
Harry Sullivan was the prisoners name.
and the crime with which he was
charged was fendish in its brutality. The
child was born two weeks ago. Sullivan had
been on protracted spree, and there was no
money to provide for the family. He re-
fused to work, and the mother was forced to
20 out washing in less than q week after
the birth of the child.
Last Thursday Sullivan was left alone
with the child all day, and when the mother
returned at night the little ones body was
terribly burned. The baby lived until yes
terday afternoon. Then Mrs. Sullivan
stated to a friend that her husband was d.
rectly
RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS DEATH,
and she further stated that the father had
scalded or burned his little one with the in
tention of putting it forever out of the way.
The story spread throughout the neigh
borhood, and BY this morning every woman
near the Sullivan house had it
upon her lips. At noon to-day, just
before the funeral. Marshal Brown
and patrolman went to Sulllvan's house
and forbade the services until the cause of
the child's death had been ascertained. The
body was black and was covered with blis-
ters, the skin in places being torn off.
Sullivan stoutly maintained his inno-
cence. He asserted that there had been
there had been no fire for three
weeks, il was impossible that the
child could have been burned or scalded.
He made that statement to the medical ex-
aminer, and while the latter went to the
room in which the child lay, Sullivan

from strips of his clothing and hanged him.
self to the ventilator in his cell. He had
not been hanging ten minutes when discov-
cred, but life was extinct
Just as the police were about to carry the
body to the undertaker's wagon, Mrs. Sulli-
van entered the station and asked to
see her husband. Keeper Auckman
told her of his rash deed. For
moment the woman stood transfxed,
and said slowly, but deliber-.
ately: 81 don't care" Then, as
the officers carried the body out, she
wept bitterly and broke down entirely.
"When will my trouble cease? VIII they
ever stop? she cried aloud, as the body Of
her husband was carried by.
The suicides body was placed side by
side in the wagon with that Of his child, and
both were carried to the city undertaker's
The police believe now more firmly than
ever that Sullivan caused the child's death,
and in view of the suicide, the theory is a
tangible one.

Atlanta Negroes Tstill Talking of nm Eng

Opinions.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
ATLANTA, GA. August 12.-The negroes
in Atlanta ore still talking of the burning
in efigy of Colonel Buck and General
Lewis, the postmaster, who appointed a
negro to a position in the registry depart
ment, and the more they consider the mat
ter the more inflamed they seem to be. The
Defiance, the organ of the negroes in At
lanta, is doing great deal to excite the
darkies concerning the burning, and it is
very much feared that there will yet be Sc
rious trouble ever the matter.
Yesterday policeman, in trying to arrest
a negro who was beating his wife, shot in
selfdefense, so he says, and killed him in
stantly, and before he could get aid from
police headquarters mob of negroes had
gathered around him, and violence would
have been used, but just as the excitement
was at its height 10 cops, sent from head
quarters on horseback, came to the rescue.
This murder has been much talked Of
and the negroes are madder than ever, and
the Evening Journal says that crowds of
negroes have been gathered on Decatur
street all day, and the leaders of these
negroes say that an indignation meeting
viii be held tomorrow night, and that Miss
Lyon and Mr.. Lyon, the young lady, and
her father who left the registry department
because q negro was appointed to work with
them, will be burned in efigy.
The Journal says: ''The people of At
lanta are not in frame of mind to stand
such things as it is rumored the colored
people contemplate, and the city is fuller of

The Test Of the New Cruiser Ationfu
Couldn't Have Been Better.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE prsPArcH.l
NEW YORK, August 12.-Everybody is
delighted ON the new cruiser Atlanta, and
when the Navy Department receives the re-
port of Captain John A. Howell on the
target practice at Gardeners Bay. Thurs
day and Friday last, it will, too. be de-
lighted. For the first time since the re-
pairs were made to the chip circles and the
gunport sills, the two eight-inch guns, the
six six-inch guns, the two six-pounders, the
two three-pounders, and the two one
Founders, Hotchkiss' rapid firing guns, the
two 37-millimeters,. and the two 37-milli-
meters Hotchkiss' revolving cannons, and
the two gatling guns were fred, and, as far
as can be seen, the ship and her batteries
are in exactly the same condition they were
before the rigid test.
The vessel was anchored about seven
miles off shore, between Montauk Point and
Gardner's Island. The target used con-
sisted of canvas fastened on framework
and anchored 200 yards from the vessel.
Each gun was fired six times. The 8-inch
guns had charges of 81 pounds Of Dupont
brown wind powder, and threw q shell Of
$50 pounds. This powder consists of
hexagonal prismatic grains, one inch in
diameter and of an inch in thickness.
The axis of the prism is bored out, so that
hole " of an inch in diameter is made in
the center. The grains weigh little more
than an ounce each. The charge for the
6-inch guns was 36 pounds of the same
powder, throwing she'll weighing 100
pounds. The target was entirely destroyed
twice, and finally barrel with flag in the
top had to be utilized as target. There
was not a single hitch in the manipulation
of the guns, nor was there bolt or rivet
started, nor o splinter made.

dry, rasping cough was very severe. She had a
hollow look in her eyes and emaciated appear
ance, and she seemed TO have q cold all the

Dyspepsia Institute, at 323 Penn avenue, and
after consulting with Mrs Dr. Crossley and her
associate physicians, she began treatment and
became entirely cured in two months. Her

Catarrh is q disease that affects children as
Wen as adults, and often at a very early age.
IL Is the direct cause of most of the consump-
non OF .tnis climate, and not infrequently the
oisease develops into consumption with chill
dren under 10 years of age. The four physi-
clans associated with the Catarrh and Dys-
pepsia Institute have for years made q special
study of catarrh and dyspepsia and diseases of
women. If they can cure you they will frankly
tell you. II they cannot they will as frankly
tell you that. The crowds Of patients who

She Thinks Discussion of the Library Hall
Matter Profitable.

Matter Profitable.
The mystery surrounding the status
of the Library Hall Company and the
Young Mems Mercantile Library and
Mechanics Institute is about as densely
shrouded as ever. 1t was thought Miss
Macrum. the librarian, might be able to
knit the raveled sleeve of care" so as to
make the situation understandable. but she
says she cannot.
Miss Macrum stated that she was glad to
see the library brought into prominence by
discussion, and instanced the cases of several
self-made men who now largely control this
city, both in a business way and socially,
who owe their success largely to self-help
assisted by the Young Mems Mercantile
Library. She thought the attention OF the
public, being focused on the subject, might
have the effect to stimulate renewed interest
in the Carnegie library project; but she
could not be smoked out on the question as
to any relations hinted at between the Hall
Company and Y. M. NJ. L. & M. /.
Several persons say there will be develop
ments in the matter subsequently,, but they
refuse to furnish bill Of particulars.
