In order TO settle tie calamity false

order to cast reproach on Dickinson
county and defams its fair name we
wish to emphasize the statement that
not one dollar of the above was in any
way the work Of the courts. Not n
dollar wasa foreclosure. In addition
to the above releases there was released
by the clerk Of the court SO, 1900, the
only foreclosures.
Twelve farms were sold for S5S,2l0,
all being volunteer sales and proving
that real estate is in demand. A large
portion of the mortgages filed was for

speciai Dispatch to The Evening Star
COLUMBUS. ONO, June l3.-But little inter-
est is manifested here in the democratic state
convention. WHICH meets in this city tomorrow,
beyond selecting delegates-at-large 10 the Chi
cago convention and the stand of the conven-
ton upon the national ticket II is quite GER
tain that ex-Gov. Campbell will be one Of the
delegates at large and Senator Brice
another. Allen W. Thurman viii probably
be "a third member of the big four, although
if il is a contest between the Cleveland and
Hill factions Thurman viii probably be with
drawn. For the fourth place the names Of
John 4. Mcmahon of Dayton, L. T. Neal of
Chillicothe, W. W. Armstrong of Cleveland,
Judge 5. II. Hunt of Cincinnati and Frank
Hurd OF Toledo mentioned
The Campbell-Cleveland party will undoubt-
edly control the convention. and should they
choose to do SO could undoubtedly adopt reso-
lutions instructing the delegation for Cleveland,
but thai would probably preclpitate a fight, and
the delegation may be uninstructed.
1t is reported. however, that John A. McMa-
| hon Of DAYTON intends 10 offer a resolution in
structing for Cleveland
Virgil r. Kline Of Cleveland wants 20 be q
delegatc-at-large, but the Campbell influence
will be thrown solidly against him, for the
son that me believed 10 be guilty of duplicity
| in his stand upon the denomination Of Gov.
Campbell last summer.
Candidates for secretary Of state clerk Of the
supreme court, two judges OF the supreme
court and a member of the board of public
works viii be nominated. There are no active
candidates for any of these places. Ohio being

Not all district conventions have been held
in this state. As yet there a few delegates

ROCK CREEK PARK,

Further Steps Necessary to BE Taken to
Get Complete Possession.
The Secretary Of the Treasury having, as
stated in The STAR of Saturday, directed that
tho sum Of Ss27 1855, the amount of the two
acquisitions drawn upon him by the Rock Creek
Pork commission. representing the awards ap-
proved by the President, be paid into the regis
try of the court, there remains but one step to
be taken by the commission in order to COM
plete its possession OF the tracts in question
The moment the money il actually received
into the registry Of the court, which will proba-
bly, be this afternoon or tomorrow, the COM
mission will apply for writ Of possession. The
effect of this writ, which is a formal matter,
will be to immediately place the commission in
possession Of the land, the title ct once vesting
in the United States by title paramount In
order to obtain the amounts awarded them the
property owners will petition the court
s.S for the Se eoas ana ssn shsa they they have
the legal owners of the respective tracts, the
court will direct that they be handed their
money. As far as the commission is concerned
their duties in connection with the acquisition
of the park win end upon the issuance TO them
of the writ Of possession, and the park will then
be turned over by them to the permanent park
commissioners, who, under the park act, are
the Commissioners Of the District and the chief
Of engineers OF the army. After the park is
turned over to the permanent park commission
ers the present, commission will have but an
other duty to perform-thst of assessing the
benefits derived by adjacent property owners
through the establishment Of the park.
When the money has been paid into the reg
istry Of the court counsel for the commission
will probably suggest that fact to the court.
ThereupOn the court may decide that the OBJ
feet Of the commissioners' motion for . writ Of
mandamus compelling the Secretary Of the
Treasury to pay the money into court, having
already been accomplished through the Secre-
tary's own motion no decision upon that
motion il necessary. Or the court may
decide that the importance Of the case demands
an expression Of its opinion An this h upon
the supposition that the courts deoision would
be favorable 70 the contention Of counsel for the
commission. In no event is tho courts decis-
ion looked for previous 10 Monday next,
and, ~ stated, decision may never Be rem

half a score of the worehipers lay dead among
the ruins wrought by the lightning bolt. The
pastor still retained his seiIrcs and he was the
fret TO lead in the work OF rescue. The rain,
which poured into the church through the
gaping hole in the roof soon exiinguished the
incipiont fire and those who were uninjured
were enabled Ia care FOR the dead and wounded

Ii was found that ten of the worshipers were
killed by lightning and that twentv-oight were
