Chicago which subsequently nominated Benjamin Harrison, Col Robert Inger soil was called to the platform for Q po- litical speech, and after thrilling the convention with one of his finest bursts of eloquence suddenly sprung the name of Judge Gresham as presidential nom- inee and attempted to stampede the con vention to his support.
 The utterly unexpected anti-climax which followed this dramatic incident is something which even the most expe- rienced frequenters of political conven- tions will always bear in memory. It seemed as if the entire convention rose as enc man and hooted down the elo- quent speaker for what was regarded as an attempt to take snap judgment on them and Judge Gresham's name was not again seriously considered by the convention.
 In 1892 the populist party sent a dele gation to tender Judge Gresham a nomi- nation at the head of their ticket, but he declined to accept the office, and re- mained on the bench until he resigned at the personal request of MT. Cleveland to become secretary of state.
 A recently published semi-weelSly offi- cial statement as to the present foreign policy of the administration claims the credit for Secretary Gresham for having successfully interposed our good offices in the late Nicaraguan dispute with Great Britain in such a way as to se-
 
 the same time admonishing that inn petuous little republic that the United States could not be mad party to it's acts of rashness and injustice"
 Especial credit is also claimed for the settlement of the Mosquito reserve ter ritorfal question with England in con nection with the Nicaraguan question It is also asserted that the Hawaiian policy of the administration has divested the Latin American republics and prac- tically Mexico of the nightmare of a de- sire for annexation on the part of the United States, and has paved the way for commercial expansion with them In consequence thereof the fears of these countries have been effectually dispelled and their attitude towards the United States, it is said, has been more trust ful and more cordial ever since. The satisfactory adjustment of the Allianca affair with Spain is pointed to as an in- dicaticn that by course such as Secre- tary Gresham pursued peace with honor could be maintained, and without blufiing or atttudinizing.
 Personally Secretary Gresham secured the warmest regard of those most close ly connected with him. In all his domes- tic relations he was most exemplary. His brilliant record as a brave soldier and his conscientious devotion to his duties In the high civil capacity to which he was called will ensure for his memory national respect

Corbett Wanted to Fight, But Fitz Was
 Cool and Sarcastic.
 New York; May 27-Another step for ward was made today in the match be- tween Corbett and Fitzsimmons The men and their friends met in an uptown resort this afternoon-Fitzsimmon and his legal adviser, Emanuel Friend; Cor bett and his manager w. A. Brady and Joe Vendig, the representative of the Florida Athletic club There was good deal of lightning in the air and Corbett seemed anxious to bring on a fight on the spot, but Fitzsimmons was cool and sarcastic and did not respond to Cor bett's advances. He allowed his lawyer to do most of the talking.
 Fitzsimmons was asked by vendig when he proposed to post the $50D0 10 guarantee his appearance in the ring When the place and date of the battle are announced by the club we will put up $500O with P. J. Dwyer the stake holder" answered Friend
 Sign articles that you'll do this" fyelled Corbett.
 Sign nothing" replied Fitzsimmons with a grin
 That will suit me exactly" said Ven dig
 Tt does not suit me-" Corbett retorted. 4 T II tdke MT. fFleIu 5 WOfQ ana rep resent the club" Vendig replied firmly L Corbett then, upon the advise of Bra dy, agreed to the inevitable. When it ap- Fpeared that Corbett was rushing mat | ters with Fitzsimmons yendig said he had given his word that there should be no trouble in the room and he meant k to keep his word. It was then agreed that the men should settle their diff culty in the ring.
 as Corbett left the room, but returned few minutes later and apologized to Lawyer Friend for anything he might have said
 T Vendig is confident that he can pull the battle off and will name the place and day on July l.
 Corbett will begin training at Asbury Park at once.
 Fitzsimmons says that he will not be- gin work until his Syracuse trouble is over al he knows where and when he is to fight.

HE MET AN AWFUL DEATH Dr. ]. W. Dowsig Run Down by
 an Electric Car NEAR THE UNION STATION Pathetic Scene at the Home of the Dead Illus band and Father-Motorman Ar
 reSted-0ther Details.

A neatly dressed gentleman about 65 years old, of medium height, gray beard and mustache, wearing a silk beaver and apparently in the best of health, while attempting to cross Twentieth street at the union station crossing last night about 935 o'clock, was run over and instantly killed by an electric car.
 A crowd quickly gathered at the scene and it was found that the Avondale car No. Al, R. D. Rowe, motorman, had run over and completely crushed the life out of pr. J. w. Dorsig, a well-known and highly respected citizen of this city.
 An ambulance was immediately tele- phoned for and soon arrived, and the body was taken in charge by Mr Loy and carried to the undertaking establish ment of Warner x Smiley, where the body was examined and it vas found to be fearfuily crushed internally the ex- ternal wounds being but few. The right side of his face, right arm and abdo- men were considerably lacerated. the arm being broken in three places A spectacle case in the old gentlemans pocket was ground up as completely as if run through coffee mill.
 Friends soon conveyed word to his youngest son, Eugene who, mounted on his bicycle, dashed up to the house and informed his brother John, who was lying sick in bed, waiting for the medl- cine which his father had gone down town to procure, and which was found in Dr. Dorsig's pocket. Despite his sickness he mounted his bicycle and rode, as only one in a paroxysm of grief and excitement can ride, to the under takers establishment, where his father was then being dressed and looked after by sympathetic friends. He dashed into the room before friends could stop him. and looking at the still face of his father gave one groan and seemed as if struck by some terrible blow Friends hurried him from the immediate scene and grad ually awoke him from the stupor into which the terrible calamity had apar- ently thrown him.
 He was finally prevailed on to go home and break the news as gently as possible to his mother. This task was even more bitter than the sight of his dead father.
 The elder brother, Clarence, was in att tendance at the opera at Lakeview and

Pickering's repre- sentations and purchased a large slice of it's stock. Messrs. Pickering and Moore are here awaiting the arrival in a special car in the morning of a party of moneyed men from Newark, N. J.. when, in company with the capitalists, they will ride over and inspect the proposed route of the railroad.
 These gentlemen, in addition to being interested in tie nuiiding of the road, are the owners and conductors of sev- eral northern cotton mills, and are fol- lowing the trend cf the times and are on the lookout for desiI able locations with an eye to moving their mills to Alabama.
 Immediately rpon the arrival of the notherners at 11:05 tomorrow the party will proceed on their tour of the proposed road, returning to Montgomery in about one week. From here they will go to Bir- mngham, Anniston and other north Ala bama towns; in fact, they propose to make comprehensive tour of the mining and manufacturing region.

men may find positive cure for Consumption, but it is a great thing to be able to prevent it, and in its early stages even to cure it. The only remedy yet known to prevent, as well as to cure in the early stages of the disease, is Scott's Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil with the Hypo- phosphites of Lime and Soda.
 It acts in two ways-as medi- cine destroying the germs which cause the disease, and as food stopping the wasting (the con- suming), and replacing the lost flesh and tissue.

TOMMY RYAN AND "MYsTERlOUSp SMITH
Ii Was Hammer and Tongs for Eighteen Dig zy Rounds, When Police lnteffer-
 ence Saved Smith.

Seaside Athletic Club, Coney Island, N. Y. May 27.-The principal attraction of the evening was the bout between welter-weight champion, who has never lowered his colors, and "Mysterious'' Billy Smith of Boston. The men are old rivals, having already met three times. once at the island, again at Boston and the last time at Minneapolis. The first two meetings were declared draws and the last bout was awarded to Ryan, much to Smiths chagrin.
 Tonight's contest resulted in another draw on the eighteenth round according to the referee, but the police interfered and saved Smith from a knock out. There was a good crowd present~-about 3000- and it was full of enthusiasm. E The seconds were announced as fol- lows: For Ryan-Joe Choynski, Harry Ryan of Canada and Jimmy Barry of Chicago. For Smith-Bill Hennessy of Clinton, Ia., his brother, Bob Smith of Boston, Jim Kelly of California and Dick OBrien of Boston.
 i The men were matched to fight twen- ty-five rounds at 142 pounds.
 Smith was the first to enter the ring at 9:45, followed by Ryan moment later. Both men were trained to the hour.
 The fighting was very rough from the start although Ryan played a waiting game and took the lead in a good many foot races Smith received a bad cut over the left eye in the third round.
 In the tenth round Ryan was knocked heavily to the floor and in the eleventh round he was knocked clear off his feet. Up to the sixteenth round the advantage was all with Smith, but in the seven teenth Ryan assumed the offensive and rushed Smith repeatedly, and one ter

rife right nearly did the business for the Bostonian, but rallying with wonderful gameness he cleverly eluded some heavy swings and recovered some ground.
 Round 18-Ryan again assumed his rushing tactics and with a terrific right and left swing laid Smiths cheek open and knocked him against the ropes. The police interfered and saved Smith from being knocked out.
 The referee declared the boht Il draw after two minutes on the eighteenth round.

 No brilliant plays were made. Se- christ for Chattanooga had little con trol of the ball. The victory of the home team places Montgomery as tail enders. Score:
