When We came to this place, aud for
some years after, although the sub

payment in advance was the general
rule. But owing 10 the demor.Lz.ng
effects OF the bad seasons, people
have grown more lax in this matter,
till now it is not uncommon TO find
them waiting till the end Of tue year
before paying, while some have set
tied down on the still easier plan OF
not paying at all. We have had @

pies whom we are unable to hear

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 28.-Tha
second day of the republican state
convention opened with gloomy and
threatening rain. At $50 nearly all
the space had been taken, except that
reserved for delegates. There is APP
parently no change in the gubernator-
ial situation from last evening. 1t is
confidently believed that Governor
Foraker will be re-nominated on the
first ballot. His friends say they have
the thing tied up for that result. The
regular field candidates are all holding
out and announce that they will remain
TO the finish. They refuse to enter
into any combination and think they
vote enough together to prevent the
nomination of Foraker. The third.
term idea is being extensively used
against the governor. lis now can
didate for fourth nomination, having
been elected twice. It is also urged
against him that he cannot command
the support Of Sherman's, following
also that he has promised the other
candidates that he will not be candi-
date, and they have made their ar
rangements accordingly. II is be-
lieved that General Dawes and Gener-
al Kennedy are in the lead of strengh
among the opposition candidates. The
programme OF the Foraker men Is to
place E. L. Lampson of Ashtabuia on
the ticket Tor lieutenant governor.

Judge O'NeiIl. of Lebanon and Gener-
al Dawes of Marietta have been
placed IN nomination. The friends Of
Governor Foraker have determined TO
not formally present the name of their
candidate. but will begin at once to
vote for him when the roll is called.
their estimate is that Foraker will
receive about 800 votes on ths first
ballot, and that he viii be nominated
on the second The opposition think
they have a surprise in store for tbs

the job themselves. After they had
got away with the horses some one of
the conspirators disappointed and sore
at being left behind and refused part
nership, let fall some hints about
Triggs and Moon being the guilty par
ties.
They were followed and Triggs and
the horses were captured near Arkan-
sas City. The Arkansas City Travel
Ter of this morning says in short
paragraph that Constable Breene
brought the fourteen head of horses
from Augusta to that city, and left this
morning for Cottonwood Falls with
the prisoner, Dan Triggs. No
further particulars are given. What
became of Moon is not known, nor how
Triggs got the horses so far. He
must have had help. Who furnished
it? And who are the parties to the
original scheme of horse stealing?
There seems to be work for the officers
in this matter, if there be any truth in
the rumors afioat to-day. The theft of
fourteen heal of horses at one fell
swOop is of itself most unusual and
daring act of robbery, that calls for a
searching investigation and the sever
est punishment.

Repeatedly Violated the Law.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-The civil
service commission to day made the
following report on the Milwaukee
postoffice:
Having Investigated the manage
ment of the milwaukee postoffice in
SO far as it is effected by the civil SER
vice law, we find that during the past
four years Postmaster Mr.. G. II. Paul
has repeatedly violated said law, and
in many cases has manipulated lists of
eligibles to that the persons whom he
preferred should be certified to him.
If Mr.. Paul had any considerable por-
ton of his term to serve we should rec
ommend his immediate removal, but
we have determined not to make such
recommendations in view of the fact
that his term has expired, and of the
fact that no satisfactory proof has
been adduced to show that his action
in making appointments was due to
political consideration and of the
further fact that his construction of a
letter of the commission, written in
1887, may partially excuse portion of
his misconduct. The commission,
therefore, repeats that Mr.. Paul should
be, and is hereby, severely censured.

governor Thayer Of Nebraska Scores
British Americans in Unmeasured
Terms.
LINCOLN, Neb., June Ex-Governor
Thayer, upon receiving a request from
the British association of Boston that
he assist in securing the recall of Min
lister Egan from Chill. wrote a letter
rebuking that organization sharply for
attempting to blacken the name of Mr..
Egan. The governor defends the min
lister warmly and is very bitter in his
denunciation of the course of the assO-
citation.
In the course of his letter the goY-
ernor says: "Who continued you and
your association judges of the motives
and actions of men? By what author
ity do you aIraign the president and
senate of the United States for the ap-
pointment and confirmation of Patrick
Egan as minister to Chill? Thank
God, they are not responsible to such
intolerably insoient bigOts as you and
your association have proved your
selves to be by the language used in
this circular. [ have known Patrick
Egan ever since he located in the city
of Lincoln years ago. He has always
proved himself to be an upright, hon
Orable man, a good citizen in every re-
spect. You can no more tarnish his
reputation with your vile ISLANDERS than
the foul bird of night can assail the
eagle. To vent your rage and your
venom at Mr.. Egan's appointment you
have seized the weapons of a defeated
yea, of a vile London hshwife-de-
feated, despised and unprincipled SLAM
derer, and you call him by Opprobrious
names, which fact always furnishes
evidence that the party using them is
completely wOrsted in support OF bad
cause. You say Mr.. Egan is politics al
Arab; l say he is an honorable and
honored American citizen, and l take
pleasure in reminding you that he is
envoy extraordinary and minister plen-
ipotentiary of the great republic of the

NEW YORK, June 24.-The Manhat-
tan Brass Company, the largest man
ufacturers of brass goods in the city
was completely burned out early this
morning and their factory on First
avenue and Twenty-seventh and
Twenty-eighth streets entirely des-

divided as follows: $3.50, 900 on tools
and machinery; S75, 900 on stock and
SIS 900 on the building, all of which is
fully covered by insurance. The eX-
act cause af the fire has not been ac-
curately determined, but is supposed to
have originated from an over heated
furnace. The factory was situated
directly opposite the buildings Of the
Bellevue hospital, and slight panic
among the inmates of the place oc-
Cured when the fire broke out, The
occupants of the tenement house, i'm
mediately adjoining the factory, were

EIOped with a Cardinals Niece.

OTTAWA, Ont, June ga profound
sensation was created in social circles
this morning when it became known
that Miss l.. Taschereau, daughter of
Justice Taschereau, of the Supreme
Court, and. niece of Cardinal Tascher-
eau, had eloped a few days ago and
returned to the city to-day the wife of
w. l.. Baird, an employ of the Canada
Atlantic railway. The Taschereau
family is one of the old French fami-
lies of Quebec, and many of its men,
bers occupy high positions in church
and state circles. Young Baird is the
son of an English clergyman, and came
to Ottawa several years ago, securing
a subordinate position as clerk in the
offices of the railway. He became &C
quainLed with Miss TaSchereau about
a year ago, and the young couple be-
came fast friends, despite the furious
opposition of the young lady's family.
The young couple met secretly, and a
few days ago they disappeared. To-
day they returned to the city man and
wife, having been married by protes-
tant clergyman. The parents and re-
lations of the young lady threaten to
take steps to have the marriage an
nuled, as she was a Roman Catholic
and was married without the consent
of her parents by protestant clergy
man.
