Chicago, ILL.,, March 81. A special
to the Tribune from Washington says
Benjamin Harrison's name will be
presented for the consideration Of the
Republican national convention at st.
Louis.
This announcement Is made on tho
authority of prominent Indiana leaders
who have within the last few days
written to members of the delegation
here and the story has been confirmed
by kilograms received explanatory Of
the results in tho Congressional con-
vention Thursday.
When ex-President Harrison's letter
of withdrawal was printed, prominent
members of the Indiana delegation de-
clared that the letter would not prevent
them from making use of Harrison's
name il they saw fit. Since that time
the situation has been canyassed
thoroughly, and the result has been
that the word was passed throughout
Indiana that instructed delegates would
be an unwise political step, and that
tho State should be left free to take up
Harrison's S name if it seemed advisable.
A concession, it is said, was made to
the Mckinley sentiment in the State
in several districts, by agreement that
Mckinley mon might be elected if they
could secure votes enough, provided
they would agreo to vote for Harrison
at any time when "A majority of the
delegations SO decided.

Why is Que woman attractive and

attractive thing about an attractive
woman is her womanlincss. Every
body admires womanly woman. She
must havo health. Of course, because

checks and her viyacity. Real health
must mean that woman is really d
woman. That she is strong and per

performing perfectly the duties of ma

In the United States Court Thursday
Afternoon.
Judge L. L. Wales Thursday after

suit OF Marcellus II. Wheeler w. the
Walton q Whann Co., in the United
States circuit court.
The decree, after citing that re-
ceivers were appointed on June 9Th,
l69A, sets forth that the receivers are
now ready to make a pro rata distribu-
tion, among the creditors, of SO much
OF the assets of tho company as have
been collected up to the present time
and as are applicable for that purpose
but before making such distribution
they ask the instruction of the Court
on exceptions which have been filed to
the claims OF such creditors as hold
collateral securities for tho payment of
the debts due to them. A balance OF
81, ol2. 81 Is still due the National
Bank of Wilmington and Brandywine,
one of the creditors Tho bank holds
collateral securities and promises Ia
use all diligence in collecting tho un-
paid securities and in applying the
proceeds to the payment of it's debt,
and, after that has been done to sur
render the securities which may be
left to the receivers. The opinion
further states that it is mistake to
suppose that tho bank will not be en-
titled to q dividend until it has ex.
hausted the securities or surrendered
them; therefore objections which were
made TO such payment are overruled by

Tulare, CAL, March 10. Two officers
were shot and "A train robber named
Daniel McCole was killed in an attempt
to hold up the southbound New Orleans
express, near here at 3 O'Clock this
morning. The attempted robbery WAS
one of the most daring that has taken
place in California and probably would
have succeeded if it had not been for
the periidy of one of the robbers.
Last night officers in this city werO
informed that an attempt would be
made early this morning to hold up
the Sunset Limited. The man who
gave the information gave the details
of the plot, and said that at first he in
tended to take part in the robbery.
Under Sheriff Earl Daggett aud Con-
stable Reed, armed with shotguns,
went to the place where the robbery
was to take place and awaited the ap.
proach of the robbers. Tho robbers
changed their plans, however, and de-
cided to Fold up the New Orleans ex-
press.
Three bandits boarded tho train at
Selma, two climbing on the rear of the
baggage car and the other on tho ten
der As the train pulled out of Goshen,
the robber who had betrayed his COM
panions left the train without their
knowledge, rushed into tho telegraph
office and told the operator to tell the
sheriff's party that the robbers had
changed ther plans.
The officers hastened back TO meet
the train and board the engine aG
Tagus. The robbers did not intend to
make their presence known until after
the train had pulled out from the
station, but the officers saw the men
and opened fire.
The bandits returned the volley and
Sheriff Daggett was shot through the
lungs, sustaining wound that will
probably prove fatal, Constable Reed
was shot in the shoulder. McColo,
who is believed to have been one of

A mysterious fire was discovered We'd
nesday Ia the barn of Edward McCarty,
near Hockessin. The flames were first
discovered about IL o'clock in tho east
ern end Of the barn. in the feed bins,
and before help sufficient to subdue
the flames could be procured the entire
building was ablaze. William Harris
attempted to loosen the stock in the
stable and had narrow escape from
being burned TO death. His clothing
caught fire and only his presence OF
mind saved him serious injury.
Two horses were burned TO death and
one COW was scorched. About 10 tons of
hay and 80 bushels of corn and oats,
and several valuable farming imple-
ments were burned. The loss on the
building, which is partially insured,
will probably amount to $1,000. The
loss on stock and implements will ag-
gregate about $1,000, with but small
amount of insurance
