CALLED To ORDER

About IL O'Clock President O. NJ. Shinn
and Secretary Charley Scott, the official
end of the Convention, both holding Fed
eral positions, came in, with some Of the
late arrivsls, the delegates drew up in
flont, so as to he socisble, and then the
convention waited some more. After
while fome more delegates dropped ID,
and after balk or two, Chairman shinn
raped for order. He said:
The third annual convention OF Repnb-
lican clubs Of West Virginia is now in ses-
sion. We will have devotional exercises
by the Rev. Mr.. Moore, of OlsrksbuIg."
The convention rose while prayer was
offered, and then the President said lie
understood it was The wish of the local
committee that the regular order Of busi-
ness be set aside. In doing 30 he would
recognize O. W. Lynch. of Clarksburg.
WELCOMED.
That gentleman welcomed the visitors
in the name Of the Republicans of Hsrri-
son county. He welcomed them right
heartily, while at the same time be realizsd
tbs. West Virginia Republicans needed no
welcome anywhere in the State.
His remarks we're replied TO by President
Shinn, who asked if he fairly represented
the Convention when he thanked the gen.
tlemsn who had preceded him, for the SEN
timents he had uttered. The Convention
didn't ssy, and Mr.. Shinn went on to
speak upon theme which had moved
Mr. Lynch. Mr.. Goff had been elected
Governor, but had not been allowed to
take his seat; wherefore these tears. But
Mr.. Shinn hsstened to add that the spec
tacle he presented was not of one crying
over split milk. Not at all. The situs-
tion would be accepted with what grace it
was possible TO summon up, and the party
wculd pick its fiints and try it again.
The President then appointed assistant
secretaries in the persons OF W. NJ. o
Dawson, ]. NJ. Holt, ard J. NJ. Richards.
Pending the debate, committee con-
sistinR of Messrs. O. B. Hart, X. f Flem-
ing and e. W. Lynch, escorted Secretary
HumpAries, of the, National League, t. Ii 10
hall, when the proceedings were inter-
rupted to welcome him. The Secretary
assured the delegates that the eyes of the
whole country were upon West Virginia.
and said be was extremely happy to meet
his West Virginia brethren. He then
begged to be excused until later in the
day.

GRAND FORKS, July 3O.-Before the
republican convention met this morning
caucus of johnson men was held and
120 pledged themselves to stand firm
by their man and leave the convention
if cheated out of favorable result. The
convention proceeded to business at
1890. Standish Of Nelson, moved that
the committee on credentials be re-
quested to report at 2 o'clock and that in
case of failure to do so, it be discharged
and that the contests be settled by the
convention. Judge Cocbrane offered
an amendment, modifying the original
resolution, and an acrimonious debate
followed, Standish attacked the COM
mittee savagely, claiming it's methods
we're star chamber and warned the con-
vention of the danger of disfranchising
delegates. Judge Francis counseled pa
tience, but thought the committee ought
to report at 2 o'clock, and he feared they
wanted to fix things for Hansbrough.
All finally agreed on motion requesting
the committee to report at o'clock if
possible, and recess was taken to that
hour

A Slaughter of Children.

PATERSON, N. j., July 29-A horrible
slaughter occurred on the Erie railroad
bridge over the Passaic river at o'clock
this evening. Five children, returning
from blackberry expedition into Ber-
gen county, started to cross the bridge
on their way to River street, where all re-
sided in Il tenement. When nearly
across the bridge, which is without rail
or foot path, the children saw train
approaching on the west bound track.
They stepped over on the east bound
track to escape, but failed to notice the
fast passenger train which just then, with
whistle screaming, came rushing toward
them Escape was impossible unless they
jumped into the river, fifty feet below.
The children were paralyzed with fear
and crouched together directly before
the approaching train. The engineer
saw them, but dare not apply the brakes
too suddenly, as that course might have
sent the train through the bridge. It
was an awful moment. The people on
the banks of the river shouted to the
children to get between the tracks,
but their cries were of no avail.
In an instant the heavy locomotive
struck the group of little ones and hurled
three of them upon the other track, dead.
The engineer was almost overcome at the
appalling sight, He had strength left,
however, to stick to his post and stop the
train as soon as it had crossed the tres
tie. The passengers left the cars to as
certain the cause of the stoppage of the
train, and strong men and women felt a
sickly feeling creeping over them as they
gazed on the remains of the three slaugh-
tered children. Jennie Drews, aged 13;
Nellie Warren, aged 10, and Mamie War
rem, her sister, aged 8, we're dashed to
death. Jane Warren, aged 13, was fright
fully injured, and Willie Warren was
hurled into the river where he was
found alive in about foot of water. The
Warren children all belonged to the same
family. The two injured children will
probably recover,

these, the civians who have taken part IN
the insurrection will not be punished.
All captains of the revolutionary forces
and all officers above the grade of cap

patch is President Celman's version of
the situation at Buenos Ayres. Private

hall confident of success. Captain
Burke of Cass county was nomi-
mated for governor by acclama-
tion, and Roger Allin's nomination for
lieutenant governor was made the same
way, and the convention adjourned.
There is great satisfaction over the re-
suit, as it is believed to be the strongest
ticket that could have been nominated.
Many of Hansbrough's warm friends
voted for johnson, because they feared
the dissatisfaction in the party could
not he healed with Hanbrough.

Chicago's North Pier Burned.


CHICAGO, July 3O.-A disastrous con-
fiagration broke out tonight on the lake
front at the foot of Michigan street near
the mouth of the Chicago river. At $50
p. m. the indications were that the fire
might be one of the most extensive that
has occurred in Chicago since the de-
struction of the most valuable part of the
city in October, 1871. To-night's calam-
ity began on the docks of Fitzsimmons &
Connell, contractors, and quickly spread
to the lumber yards of E. E. Ayre 4 Co.,
and Whitcomb & Co. All about the
locality where the flames started are vast
stretches of valuable lumber piles and
manufacturing establishments. The
region is known as North Pier and is
situated on the north side of the river
and not more than few squares from
the site of old Fort Dearborn, the Indian
trading post that marked the beginning
of Chicago's commercial importance.
The wilderness of ships and wharves
rendered the place almost inaccessible
for fire engines, but the fire boats p. O.
vided by the city for just such an emer-
gency remedied the difficulty in a meas
IRE. The scene of the fire is penetrated
by the tracks of the Chicago & North
western railway, which cross the river
near by for a junction with the Illinois
Central and eastern trunk lines. Skirt
ing the Northwestern's tracks are the
lumber yards of the Peshtigo company
and of H. Paepecke Il Co. This prop
erty was threatened at $50 p. m.
THE FIRE UNDER CONTROL.
CHICAGO, July 30.-By 10 p. m. the
fire was under control, though still burn
ing fercely. A potent factor in bring
ing about the result was the lucky cir
cumstance that the wind was blowing
directly off Shore Between ten and fif-
teen acres of lumber were consumed with
not far from forty freight cars. The
direction of the wind alone saved the
shipping and watch houses in the vicin-
ity. It is estimated that the total loss
will not exceed 100000.
THE DAMAGE DONE.
CHICAGO, July 30-Five hundred thou
sand telegraph poles, great quantity of
railroad ties and oak plank, besides
wharfng material, several huge store
buildings and gigantic pile driver were
destroyed. The principal losers are:
Aver & company, S140,00O partly in
sured; Fitzsimons & Connell, $4,000, no
insurance; Chicago & Northwestern rail-
way, $25,0O0, and the city of Chicago,
$4,000

Hail Storm at CasSeltOn,

CAssELToN, N. D., July 3O.-The most
disastrous hail storm of the season swept
over the southern part of this county
early this morning. There is a strip of
country about four miles wide and from
ten to twelve miles long on which crops
are entirely destroyed. Hail stones as
large as hens eggs we're picked up at
o'clock this morning. All crops in that
section will be total loss, but it is i'm
possible at the present time to estimate
the damage accurately. But few farmers
in that section carry any insurance on
their crops.
