The Derivation of "Gingerly.'
To speak of person acting in "gin-
gerly" fashion would certainly convey
clear enough idea, and we easily connect
the word in some vague manner with
the word ''ginger," perhaps from the
association in our minds of the sparing
use made of that condiment. The word.
however. is innocent of any such round
about derivation, and comes directly
from the old word gang" to go-still
preserved in the Scotch phrase, Gang
that gate"-and thus originally means
with cautious, faltering or ''gingerly"
steps.-Chambers' Journal.

CHICAGO, June 2I.-Tne papers all agree,
and the impression seems to be prevalent
among the delegates, that Cleveland will be
nominated without material opposition. 1t is
thought, that Gray, of Indiana, be selected
for vice-president The convention will prob
ably conclude Its labors tomorrow or Thurs
day. Owens, of Kentucky, will be tenn
porary chairman.
Syracuse, or 'anli-snap" delegates, it is
said, will not now contest, feeling assured of
Cleveland's nomination. 1t. is claimed, that
they consent to this at the solicitation of
Whitney. Don. Dickinson, ex-secretary
Bayard and Mr.. Villas, will issue formal
reply that they consent in interest, harmony
etc.
The convention was called to order at
I2:48 P. NJ. Senator Brice began reading the
call for the convention and the names of the
temporary officers. Owens, of Kentucky,
acted as temporary chairman.

unity and harmony were the only things
necessary to success.

national convention were adopted.
The roll of states was ordered called for
the selection of members of the various COM

of the hour.

Stahlein and>Van Allen were almost imme-

killed. The other molders accused Newton
of being the cause of their comrades death.
The traihmen were then attacked by the
molders, who used their revolvers. Newton
was shot through the chest and will die.
Fireman Maguire was also hit, but not seri-
ously wounded. The assailants were then
driven off Sapper reached Erie yesterday
and was arrested last night. He stoutly
maintains his ignorance of the affair. He
says he had been put off the train before
reaching Angola, but the dying statement of
Newton implIcates Sapper. The bodies of
Stahlein and Van Allen will be brought here
tonight, and Newton's body has been taken
to Buffalo.

poets no returns from same, 1t haying been

under favorable circumstances. However,
the effect of these blightIng winds Is con-
fined to the locality known as Shutter
Flat, where the grain was early and par
ticularly thrifty. Other sections OF the
county have suffered no loss as yet, and will
have fair yield of wheat. barley and oats.

From Name to Oregon.


Within few days young woman named
Mary Edwards will probably ride through
Albany on horseback, clad in the attire of
the masculine sex, who will have completed
journey from the pine forests of Maine to
the frs of Oregon alone and unaided, dis.
tance of over 5000 miles, with only her
faithful horse as companion.
Many remarkable journeys have been
made on horseback, even by women, yet
this American girl Is now on the last stage
of trip such as few men would care to
undertake. This is nothing less than a
journey around three sides of the United
States-from Maine to Oregon via the At.
lantic, Gulf and Pacific coasts.
Miss Edwards is making this long trip
alone, and during most of the time she has
worn mans attire for comfort and convent
ence. She reached San Francisco over
three weeks ago, and is now on the last
stage of her long journey. This daring
young lady is native of Portland, Maine,
and her destination is Oregon's metropolis.
Miss Edwards is undecided as to what
she will do when she reaches Portland. She
will take months rest and may thea start
out on another jaunt, ss she Is enamored of
this outdoor life.

progress of the investigation. Within
the past eighteen months nearly 100
bodies have been buried there. 1t Is be-
lieved that every one cf these graves has
been desecrated by the ghouls. The ex-
citement is intense. As the graves are
opened and no bodies found, relatives
and friends become more and more in
censed. The evidence points to the ex-
istence Of a well organized and bold body
OF graveyard ghouls. who have been
carrying on wholesale business. There
Is no large medical institution near here,
hence the only demand must have come
from tanning establishments. No mercy
will he shown il any member of the
gang is caught.

His TroubIes Over.

CHICAGO, June 21.-It is learned at an
early hour this (Tuesday) morning, that
DR.. Henry Scudder, whe is confined in
the county Jail awaiting trial on the
charge of numbering his mother-ln- law,
Mrs. Danton. took heavy dose of NOR
phlne last night and died at 1890 this
forenoon. The officials at the jail are of
the opinion that the morphine was taken
with suicidal intent. The doctor passed
Monday, as usual, in reading and talk
ing with the attendants, and he was ap-
parently cheerful in manner. In the eve
ming be ordered hearty supper, ate it
with relish, and from then till bed time
laughed and chatted with two of the
night keepers. About 9:30, night
keeper, while patrolling the ward, heard
a moan coming from the doctors cell.
HIS bed was Immediately pulled into the
corridor and medical aid SUNNI oned.
Doctor Bynchon worked for three hours,
but his efforts were futile, and at 1890
this morning Scudder died without re-
gaining consciousness. The condemned
murderer, who occupied the cell next 20
Scudder, said the latter had been given
morphine frequently In small quantities
by his attending physician. From re-
marks made by Scudder, this man thinks
the doctor saved up the morphine having
suicide in view.

morrow for an assault with dangerous
weapon on his wife, and also for beating her.
Undoubtedly the verdict will be "guilty as

years. He was engaged in farming, and was

body had been stolen and only the empty
coffiu remained to show that body had
been buried. The news of the discovery
spread like wlldfire, and fully 1000 peo-
were waiting at the cemetary to note the
