VENERABLE RELICS.

The Workmen Found Two British
 Bayonets There.
 The old house on George street, north side just west of Orange, is evidently very old. It is now used as a japan shop in connection with the Toof factory. l. The timbers are of hewn oak. the weather boards are shaved oak and the laths are split oak, while the door trim mings are of foreign make.
 Builders who are familiar with the va rious kinds of building, have expressed the opinion that it is at least 100 years old. It stands next to the Peck mansion where Robert Peck and his father, Nathan Peck, formerly lived and was the old Peck home stead.
 While removing chimney from this house the workmen found two old British bayonets that may have been left here when the British invaded New Haven. They have been deposited with the New Haven Colony Historical society.

Helen NJ. Cougar took the stage and
repudiated the use of her name as one
of the secretaries of the convention.
She said while she was in deep sympa-
thy with the farmers and working men,
she would not serve on account OF the

The Presidents Solicltude For the tt cas-
ury-surplus Creeping Up.
WASHINGTON, May 2S.-The president
is taking an active interest in the finan-
cial condition of the treasury and
has directed that he be furnished with
an estimate of the probable revenue
from all sources for the next fiscal year,
based on the changes made by the last
congress in the customs and internal
revenue laws The result of the
changes are now becoming apparent in
the daily receipts of the treasury de-
partment The customs receipts show
continual falling off. The receipts
from this source, by a statement issued
at the treasury to-day, for the first
twenty days in May, being less at
the port of New York by $1,000, ,934
than they were for the corresponding
period of last May. The same ratio of
decrease is reported at other ports In
ternal revenue receipts also show a de-
crease, but not so marked. The net
surplus in the treasury department,
despite the decrease in receipts, is
crawling mp. the drain from direct tax
expenditures being almost over, and at
the close of business yesterday was more
than $4,000, 900. The treasury state
ment issued shows that the treasury
held May 20 s26a, 057, 4sS in old bullion
and coin, being a decrease since the
first of the month of more than sl2, 600,
600, and since the 1st of January OF
more than S32, ,000, 900.

his motion on the ground that IL was
premature. In answer he said: There
Is no doubt that we will form a third
party; then why not proceed toward It."
Gen. Weaver, Of Iowa, here took up
the debate, accusing Mr.. Dopnelly of
trying to push matters, inferring that
he wished to commit the conference to
the immediate formation of a third
party before the matter had been fully
and fairly discussed. After Gen. Wea-
ver's talk the discussion became very
general, but was finally quieted, while
the chair ruled Mr.. Donnelly out of
order.
The committees were instructed to
meet immediately to begin work, and
the conference adjourned until o p. m.
tomorrow.
CINCINNATI, May 20.-The national
union conference delegates were slow
about assembling this morning, as there
was some misunderstanding as to the
time when they were to meet. Pre-
vious to the calling of the convention
to order, meeting of the citizens Al
lance delegates was held in
one of the halls of the
building and some of those who were
not members were initiated. As on the
opening day the proceedings were open
ed by prayer. The convention is COM
posed largely of church members, and
deeply religious feeling pervades the
gathering.
It was ten o'clock when temporary
ns,,r rrI fnv nr.-
der. While waiting for the report OF
the committee on credentials, Cap. CA.
Power was allowed to make financial
statement regarding the expenses of
the conference. He said that he had
received, outside of the local contribu-
tions, 1860, and had expended $685. Mr.
Wilkin, of Kansas, asked the convention
to contribute and settle up all outstand-
ing bills, and that Capt Power be re-
warded for his services. This motion
was seconded by the Indiana delegation
and unanimously carried The hat was
passed around and a considerable
amount raised, Ohio alone contributing
$40. M
While the collection was being taken
up the venerable Jesse Harper, of
Illinois, one of the warehouses in the
greenback movement, and very anus
ing speaker, was call to the front, and
he made characteristic speech, in
which he urged all to contribute liber-
ally, and offered his own hat for that
purpose It was filled with bills and
silver in a very few minutes. He de-
clared that the money question is the
great issue. The country was going to
be born again.
He likened those who opposed the third
party to a lot of chickens in a nest.
Some of them were just out of the shell,
but would not leave the nest Others
just had their heads out, This was the
condition of those who did not want
the third party. He warned those who
tried to oppose this movement that it
would be like buffalo which tried to
stop a herd and that the people would
run over them. 1t couldn't be stopped,
and the people would have q new party
right away.
The committee on credentials made
its report to the conference. It was
shown that besides the delegates to the
conference regularly elected, there
were representatives of 107 reform pa
pers present, and it was recommended
that they be allowed seats in the con-
vention.
The delegations to the conference by
states, as reported to the conference.
