vened at 9 O'Clock, with Judge Cham
plln IN the chair, ana Frank Gill per-
forming the duties OF secretary. At
one time the contest of words became
80 heated snd bitter that an exchange
of blows seemed imminent, and had II
not been for the counsel OF cool heads
there would undoubtedly have been
cateh-as-eatch-can siugging match be-
tween some OF the delegates. The con-
tentlon Was brought about IN
the discussion OF the question
of admitting proxies. 1t was evident,
also that the contest for member
of the state central committee had the
most 10 do with the scramble. Maurice
Houseman and hIs friends were op-
posed 10 admitting the proxies, and Il
wss iDtlmated that some of the proxies
had been purchased and also that some
of the delegates had been willing
sellers. This brought out . retort in
dignant from those upon whom the
charge reflected, who, AS further de-
velopme1ts showed, were supporters of
Thomas +. Carroll. After the excite
ment had suoeided, il was agreed that
Maurice NJ. Houseman be presented for
n member of the state central commit
tee, and Edwin +. Uhl was unanimous
ly endorsed for delegate 1t
the close of the caucus John :. FAIR
intlmated that Henry Il. Mccormick
was II most persistent Office seeker, and
that he had been exceedingly par
simonious in the matter OF contribut-
ing to the campaign funds. Friends
separated them and some one limited
that the same criticism might be made
in regard to Warden DAVIS, who was .
chronic Office holder. In rebuttal of
this an admirer of Davis insisted that
Davis had contributed box OF geora-
six-for-a-quarters during the campaign
of 1883.

New RICHMOND. Ohio, May AT
O'Clock this morning, while the steamer
Bonanza was lying At the wharf, the
towboat Frisbee, with seven barges,
bound for Pittsburg, ran into the stern
of the wharfboat, knocking q large
hole in her and breaking all the irons
on the swinging stage, dronpipg 1t into
the river. By hard work the
wharfboat was kept from sink
ing. There was considerable ex-
element and small panic among
the crew and passengers OF the Bo-
nanza for awhile. Men, women and
children, who were all asleep, were
suddenly awakened by the noise and
lar and rushed from their state-rooms
In their night clothing. With the awful
fate of the Golden Rule fresh in their
minds, the passengers were panic
stricken and rushed frantically about
trying TO reach the shore. Fortunately
no one was was injured. After strik-
ing the wharfboat the Frisbee ran
ashore, breaking two barges. She sue

1T WAS A JOLLY ROW,
But the Handsome Pride of Grand Rapids
Won the Battle.


The large dancing hail Of the Mus
keg0n club was vIvldly contrasted with
the scenes of gayety and revelry which
have occupied ITS floors in the past,
when the Fifth district caucus assem-
bled at 10 o'clock yesterday morning.
The Kent county delegates, fresh from
the strife where 1t was case of Greek
slaughter Greek, were eager and ready
for q bear dance. They knew their
strength and Likewise were conversant
of their power to disregard any agree
ment that the conference between the
committee representing Ionia and OF
tawa may have decided on. The Ionia
county delegation were mild-tempered
and seemed willing to let Kent county
run things. The Allegan men, how
ever, thought that Kent county wanted
the earth and q few planets thrown in.
1t was understood that Edwin +. Uhl
was 10 be gwen the support of the dis
trict and this part of the program was
carried out to the letter. The interest
became intensified when the order of
selecting a member OF the state central
committee was reached. A Lowell,
delegate advocated that I. +. Carroll
of Grand Rapids be retained OH the
committee, that he was entitled
To this recognition by the virtue
of his servlces in the past.
He had been q valuable member and
had exerted great influence in bringing
about the unexpected victory last fall.
The majority OF the Kent delegation
were for Maurice Houseman. An
effort was made TO put Carroll IN by
acclamation, but.crested loud protest
and much confusion, and Chairman
Thad Preston OF Ionla had considers
bic difficulty in making his cries for
order heard. A motion to take ballot
by counties carried. The representa-
tives from Kent repaired to n corner of
the room and all tried TO talk at once.
They gestIculated wildly and shouted
at the top of their voices. Chairman
Champlin partially restored peace by
strategically ordering an adjournment
for ten minutes Allesan and Iona
were ready b cast their votes. When
the body Was again called 20 order the
ballots were collected aud out of the
a. votes from Kent ifouseman received
81. The total vote stood: CarroII SO.
Houseman "a. it was a close and in-
terestins contest. The result i'm the
fight for delegates, which 10 noted else
where, was only obtained after a strug-
gle which was bitter and stubborn.
The Allegan men were not at all sats
fled with their lot and one OF them
boldly stated that Kent county was
"hogrish." In fact the caucus was
unnecessarily prolonged and chsfae-
tsrixed by word spsts and much dis
order. Joseph H0usemsu OF this CITY

New YORK, May 4.-Gen. ]. 7. Tor
renee is going to have hard time get
ting ms new yacht to Chicago. The
yacht had eleven feet of draught, and
when he came to study the question
oil taking il around TO Chicago by way
of the st. Lawrence river and Welland
canal, he discovered that there
were four or five canal locks
III which the depth Of water was only
nine feet. Experiments are being
made for him to ascertain the effect of
putting barrels filled with water under
the full length of craft of this size
above the keel and pumping tho water
out of the barrels, SO as TO leave moth

this process will lift the yacht another

to get it to Lake Michigan.
