THE OHIO SITUATION
Ex-Governor Campbell in the Lead
for the Governors Place.
STATE SAID TO BE FOR FREE SILVER.
Campbell Says He VIII Not Have the Nom
inatIon. hut His Friends Say They
VIII Run HIm-How Different
Counties Show Up.

CINCINNATI, o., Aug. I9.-The returns
from the county conventions show a
general endorsement of Ex-Governor
JAS f. Campbell for the nomination
for governor at the democratic state
convention next week. Governor Camp
bell said, however, most emphatically
that he could not and would not accept
the nomination IL It was rendered him
unanimously. He said candidly that
his only reason for declining was his
present financial condition, which was
such as to make il impossible for him to
devote his time TO politics.
Meantime the fact is published that
his friends have secured a large supply
Of lithograph pictures of him and badges
and mean to nominate him. They say
they viii see that all his expanses are
borne.
Since Congressman Sorg has with
drawn, it is understood that ex- Gov
ernor Campbell favors the nomination
of Col. Jas. r. Kilbourne, of Columbus,
who is the candidate of the Thurmans
and the free silver men.
The Mahoning delegation announced
that they would present the name of
John III. Clark.
The Hamilton county delegation,
which includes Cincinnati, voted to
paesent the name of Judge Hiram d.
Peck
1t is said that John II. Thomas is a
candidate for senator against Brice and
is not wanting the gubernatorial NOM
ination.
The returns from the country con-
ventions Saturday indicate an unex-
pected victory for free silver. Some
county conventions adopted resolutions
condemning Senator Brice's financial
views. Some counties that selected free
silver delegates indorsed Brice and
nearly all indorsed James f. Campbell
for governor. The counties selecting
free silver delegates were Lake, Law
renee, Seneca, Muskingum, Medina,
Fayette, Highland, Vinton and jackson.
For sound money" Madison, Portage
and Summit The delegates from
Anglaise, Delaware, Cuyahoga and
Trumbull counties are divided. Since
the returns are in, the silver men claim
they will control the convention, but
the BTice men do not concede it.

MORE BANK LOANS.
Some RehsctIons on This Weeks Bank
Statement


Some Reflections on This Weeks Bank
Statement.
NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-The New York
Financier says this week: The state
ment of the associated bands of this
city for the week just ended, reflects in
part the gold export movement and the
operations of the bond syndicate which
were concluded the week previous.
That there is no immediate prospect of
firmer money rates is evidenced in the
increase 81, ,32G, 100 in the volume of idle
cash now lying in the vaults of the
New York City Banks, making the to-
tai excess reserve S51, ,263, ,S25.
The banks gained $3.50, 900 in depos
its during the week and the increa Sc
in legal tenders was S., 900. 900.
The distribution of the large per
centage of money due the banks by the
bond syndicate of course operated ad-
versely on the call loan market, but
aside from this its effect was not
noticed.
Despite the apparent dullness, it is
interesting to note that the banks are
now carrying SIS, 600, 900 more loans
than at this time last year Deposits,
Notwithstanding an increase of So, 900,
600 last week, are 81, 900, 600 less than
for the same week in August, 1894, and
the excess reserve is between S26, 600,
600 and S27, ,OO0, 900 lower.

AMPHITRITE DOCKED.
The Largest Dry Dock In America Is q
Great Success.

BEAUFORT, S. c., Aug. 16.-The first
official test of the big government dry
dock on Paris Island, two miles below
Port Royal was made yesterday. The
United States Monitor Amphitrite, was
successfully docked in the presence of
the official board consisting of Capt. w.
c. Wise, of the Amphitrite, Engineer P.
G. Asserson and Naval Constructor, J.
Z. Hanscom.
There were several thousand specta-
tors present made up of excursionists
from Charleston, Savannah and Angus
ia. The Amphitrite under her own
steam assisted by a tug, and tow ropes
went into the dock at 8 D. m. The
Monitor drew 4 feet of water and there
was not the slightest hitch in docking
her. Captain c. Fl. Rockwell, COM
nander of the naval station and the
members of the board said that they
could of course make no authoritative
statement regarding the tests at this
time, but none of them hesitated to ex
press the satisfaction which they felt
over tie entire success attending upon
the work done yesterday. They Port
Royal dry dock has attracted much at
bChIIp1 OCCd uSC VI GllC 1dC5 IndG ~ ID bA1C
largest government dock in America.
The depth of the hold of the dock from
the surface to tho sub-grade of the floor
is 38 feet, its width at sub-grade is
sixty feet, at the surface 126 feet, its
length is $50 Captain Rockwell says
that any vessel in the new navy might
readily be docked and repaired in it
and it is expected that the battleship
Indiana will be docl1ed here for repairs
in few weeks. The capacity of the
pumps with which the water is drawn
from the docks is 10000 gallons per
minute and under favorable conditions,
the dock could be drained by them in
Is minutes, but the pumping yesterday
continued for three hours as it was
considered best to make the first trial
as deliberately as possible. After the
bottom eof the Amphitrite has been
cleaned she will be withdrawn and
then enter the dock again for a second
test. This will be made today. The
vessel remaining on the blocks all of
Saturday. The Amphitrite will sail
northward Monday. A ball will be
given the officers of the vessel by the
people of Beaufort tonight.

They claim that the bank will pay

is caused by inability to realize prompt
ly on loans. The suspension creates no

of Walter Greer.

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 19.-Southern
railroad passenger train, north bound,
which left Atlanta Saturday night at Q
| o'clock for Washington was wrecked
ninety miles from this city, near Toe
Goa, at midnight.
The train was rushing down a steep
grade between Toccoa and Mt. Airy,
suddenly the tender of the engine leap
ed from the track and the coupling that
held it to the engine was torn loose.
The tender was hurled down a forty
foot embankment, with terrific force,
dragging after it the cars which made
up the train with the exception of the
sleeper. which was thrown from the
track, but which was not injured. The
train was completely wrecked. The
coaches were piled up on each other in
fearful disorder. Express Messenger
McLear, thirty-two years of age, of
Atlanta was killed instantly by being
pinned to the wall by the iron safe in
his ear. A negro in the car was badly
hurt, his arm being mashed by the safe.
The mail agent was injured and had to
be brought back to his home in Atlanta.
Others were more or less injured.
After breaking loose from the tender
the engine had wild and exciting run
Of five miles. The air-brake attach
ment was broken and sweeping down a
steep grade at speed of seventy-fve
miles an hour the veteran engineer
found it impossible to stop his engine
Every minute the speed was increased
and the bob-tailed engine sped along
like the wind, 1eaping from the en-
bankmenJ. The road is perilous at this
point, the cuts being narrow and the
enbankment being high. 1t is in the
vicinity of Mt. Airy and Tallulah Falls
and the midnight run of the conductor
was calculated to turn his hair gray.
Hon. r. F. Knob, of Alabama, was
detained four hours at the wreck. 1T
is the worst l ever saw he said, ''how
a soul escaped alive is a miracle that
divine providence alone can explain"

YELLOW FEVER AT SANTIAGO.
Ghirty-One Deaths Among the Negro Colo
nists-TreasurY Balances.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Surgeon Gen
eral Wynan of the marine hospital
service yesterday received a cablegram
from Havana, announcing the outbreak
of yellow fever at Santiago Espirito.
The disease is prevalent at many places
in the island and seems to be increas-
ing.
General Wyman also had a report
from Eagle Pass, Texas, where negro
colonists returning from Mexico are
quarantined because of an outbreak of
small pox. To date one hundred and
thirty-seven cases and 81 deaths have
been reported. Most of the cases were
mild in form and the per centage of
deaths is not large when it is remem-
bered that these colonists had suffered
great deprivations and were made
physically in a condition to withstand
the attack of the disease. All the colo
nists have been vaccinated and have
the best of food and medical attention
and it is believed that the disease has
been checked and that there is no dam
ger of the contagion spreading.
The treasury department has been
advised that $500, 600 in gold was with
drawn at New York yesterday for ex.
port to Europe. This reduces the
treasury gold reserve to SI03, 151, 900.

LOST ART DISCOVERED.
Men Claim That They Can Weld Copper
to Iron.

PITrsBURG, Pa, Aug. 14-George
Cromley, Cornelius Shay and John
Ryan, iron and steel workers, have dis
covered the lost art of welding copper
to iron or steel. They show several
samples of the metals perfectly welded.
The last record history gives of these
metals having been welded was in
Scandinavia, 500 j. C. The value of
the discovery comes in the fact that
copper offers greater resistance to the
action of salt water than any other
metal.
The Carnegie company has offered
the men a fixed price for the secret. A
shop has been fitted up for the men at
the Homestead plant, where today the
men propose to weld plate of copper
to an ingot of nickel steel armor plate.
The Carnegie company hopes to be able
to cover all armor plates for the big
battleships with copper.
