 Surveyors have been at work on the old Newtown turnpike, establishing a grade for the macadam road. There is difficulty about stone for crushing. The stones built into walls along the road. many of which have been given by the owners, are generally too soft; like most of the rock formations here, composed more or less largely of mica. This grinds to powder too quickly. The ledge near Charles Wheeler's has been suggested, but this also is said to be too soft. The ledge at OK hill, from which stone was obtained for the macadamizing of the Bridgeport part of the road, is good enough, probably the best to be found, but is too far from the upper end of the road.

NASHVILLE, Aug 15.-Surrounded by a
few loving friends and relatives Mrs.
James X. Polk, relict of the eleventh presi-
dent OF the United States, departed this
life at 1880 o'clock yesterday morning
peacefully and quietly in the full posses
sion OF ler mental faculties. Mrs. Polk
had been in perfect health until last
Wednesday evening, when on returning
from a short drive she was taken sudden
ly i'll, from which she never rallied.
Universal Sorrow Expressed.
Had she lived until the fourth of
Septen Der next she would have been
eighteen years beyond the allotted time OF

was simply exhaustion resulting from old
age. The bells throughout the city were
tolled and sympathy and regret are heard
from The masses of people as they gaze
upon the bulletin announcing the demise
OF this honored and beloved lady, who
spent her years among the people she
loved so well, and who respected her as
one of the noblest of her sex.

CHICAGO, Aug. ia special to The
Herald from Cape May, n. J., says: Presi-
dent Harrison viii, before the meeting of
the Republican national convention of
1882, declare over his own signaturein the
most emphatic manner that he is not a
candidate for the nomination 10 be made
by that convention. The president de-
cided upon this course within the last two
weeks, and his purpose in calling hither.
a few days ago, Chairman Clarkson, of
the national committee, and stephen B.
Elkins was to tell those gentlemen that
they might inform those Republicans
who are taking sides either for or against
the denomination CT the president that
they are doing so unnecessarily. The
decision of the president not to permit his
name to go before the convention was
ludUe with some reservations.
Conditions of the Withdrawal.
These reservations depend upon three
conditions: First, if the present opposi-
tion within the Republican party to Mr..
Harrison's denomination shall continue
until next spring he will withdraw; sec
ond, if Mr. Blaine shall be well and strong
enough to take the nomination, and the
party's demand for him continues as
strong and sincere as it appears at the
present time, Mr.. Harrison will with
draw; third, if Mr.. Blaine. having suffi-
cient health and strength, shall be will
ing to take the nomination, Mr.. Harrison
will withdraw. The information that the
president has reached this decision is from
source not TO be questioned as to its &C.
curacy and trustworthiness.
Alleged Words of the President.
The president said TO Messrs. Elkins
and Clarkson: Il do not now expect to be
a candidate before the convention In any
event | shall not be candidate in the way
OF soliciting support or using the patron
age of my Office to secure delegates favor
able to me. do not expect that my name
will go before the convention, but if it
should it would have to go a. natural
and logical outgrowth of party sentiment.
A nomination forced upon the party
would be useless to me-"
Wants a Free-for-An Race.
Mr.. Blaine knows that the president oc-
cupies this position. Mr.. Clarkson, Mr.
Elkins, Mr.. Quay, and Mr.. Platt know it.
Mr., Quay has been advised not TO force
his Blaine boom in Pennsylvania. and he
has called halt The Harrison Blaine
programme which all the bosses have been
given chance to fall in with. is that no
movement" shall be instituted for a
presidential aspirant, neither for the pres
1dent nor for Mr.. Blaine, nor for any other
man if it can be prevented. The party,
without manipulation or organized efforts
to influence it, is to be permitted to make
its own choice for the presidency

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Aug. 15.-The state
encampment of farmers and industrial
organizations which was entered upon
Tuesday last closed last evening. Yester-
day the Farmers Alliance and Knights Of
Labor held the ground and furnished the
speakers. They Were David Ward Wood,
of the National Alliance; Morris L.

assembly of the Knights of Labor: J. H.
Powers, of Nebraska. president of the Ma
tional Farmers Alliance, and Dave Ross.

in the legislature from La Sale county.
y Rift in the oratorieal Lutte.
The first three speakers sailed along
swimmingly on the deplorable condition
of the country, the necessity OF Issuance
of plenty of money by the government
and also as to the necessity of the organ
ization of new party. But Dave Ross
created quite a ripple of excitement by
declaring his utter want of sympathy with
much that had been spoken from the plat
form during the encampment.
Had to shut Him OF.
He thought there misconstructioa on
the part of most of the speakers as to the
true functions of government. Too much
was expected of it. He did not believe,
either, with Senator PETER that the con-
dition of the farmers of today was worse
than it was in the days of reaping hook,
and fails. He was interrupted by old
man Streeter and Others, and it was
charged that he had been sent in by the
money power to make an argument

to export immense quantities of fine Ia

Since the high tariff was placed upon

are then manufactured after these in
America Only the cheapest grades of
goods are exported in large quantities.

old officers. The president, S NJ. Adams,
made fierce attack on Senator Morgan,
declaring he would suffer his arm to burn

man who would vote for him. His cause
of complaint is MorGan's opposition to
