His Greater Wisdom.

ED. HERALD: Can you inform a patient
and suffering public what is wrong with the
members of the Borough Council2 Don't
you think the seven members of the Citizens
party in that body should coincide with Mr.
Cables views on the question Of electing a
successor to Oscar Betteridge ? Surely his
views are worthy of more consideration than
the seven other members of the Citizens
party. Besides, it matters little whether the
valuable plant that cost the taxpayers about
Sl50,00O is standing without an official head.
But that doesn't matter. The people be
d is the motto Of some people. | think
these seven Citizen Councilmen should accede
to Mr.. Cables greater wisdom. F. j. NJ.

recommended by several grand juries prior
to September, 1s95); and it further appearing

linson hall in this citv at 1890 o'clock
Oh Wednesday, September 2. The dele
gates had been struggling in for nearly
an hour and when the gavel finally de-
scended the hall was well filled. There
was present large number of men who
had been generally known as leaders of
the regular Democratic party in years
gone by, and as these entered the ball,
either singly or in groups, they were
given an ovation. The man who called
the convention to order was Senator
John NJ. Palmer of Illinois, the chair
man of the provisional committee.
Prayer was offered and then ex-Con-
gresham Cultivate of Ohio read the
call for the convention. The va
rious states responded as their names
were called. Mr.. Brennan of Wis
consin was then introduced and
he read the report Of the provisional ma
tional committee, which recommended
governed the national convention of 1892
be adopted for this convention. The
report named ex-Gov. Flower of New
York for temporary chairman and John
r. Wilson of Indiana for temporary sec
rotary. Ex-Gov. Flower took the stage
and delivered lengthy address fully
covering the political issues of the '96
campaign as viewed by himself and his
fellow delegates. At the conclusion of
his speech he called for the nomination
of the customary committees by the
various states represented, and a recess
was then taken until afternoon.
The first order of business at the aft
ernoon session was the report of the
committee on credentials. This showed
that there were present S24 delegates,
representing forty-one states and three
territories. Pending the receipt of the
report of the committee on permanent or
ganization, DR.. Everett of Massachu-
setts made a speech. When the report
was finally presented it named Senator
Caffery of Louisiana for permanent
chairman and John r. Wilson of Indi-
ana for permanent secretary. Upon TAX
ing the chair, Senator Gallery delivered
an address covering the political ground
almost as carefully as ex-Gov. Flower
had done. He was followed by John
?. Irish of California and then the con-
vention adjourned until the following
of the convention in the evening, the
hall was given up to a mass meeting,
at which several noted speakers were
heard.
The Second Day.
The second day of the convention,
Thursday, September 3, opened with
much uncertainty as to the identity of
the presidential nominee. During the
recess the evening before quite a we'll
defined disposition on the part of some
of the Southern delegates to renominate
President Cleveland came to the surface.
This boom was squelched in the morning
by the publication of the following COR
respondence which had passed between
the chairman of the New York delega-
ton and the President.

land: There has been manifested an I'M

Glencoe, Mimi, Sept. THE trial of
the first of the two men charged with the

was threatened at the time. and on June
% Gov Clough sent Co. d of st. Paul
here to protect the prisoners. Escorted
by the militia. they were taken to St.
Paul and placed in the Ramsey county
Jail. whence they were brought here for
trial.

verdict of murder in the second degree

LII SEES OUR MONEY.
Chinese Envoy Pays Visit to the
United States Treasury
Department.

Washington, D. c.. Sept. 5.-The last
day of the visit of Ii Hung Chang to
the national capital, a rather extensive
programme had been arranged, but this
was broken without qualm by the am
bassador, who tires quickly OF sight
seeing and seems to find more satisfac
ton in personal association with his
entertainers than in the wonders of ar
chitecture or the paying tribute to his
torical characters.
After the morning levee was over
Earl Lii consented to make start upon
the days programme, though 1T threat
ened to rain, and about half-past 8 lie
was placed in carriage and with his
personal suite escorted to the treasury
department..
The viceroy's visit to the treasury,
which occupied fully one hour and a
half, appeared to specially interest the
whole party and after brief and cor
dial welcome by Secretary Carlisle the
yiceroy expressed a desire to inspect the
many money vaults.
In company with the secretary, Treas
urer Morgan and Mr.. Foster, the ex-
secretary of state, the lower departments
were visited the massive steel doors of
thrown open and the contents of each
explained. The viceroy' curiosity and
interest were aroused and his questions
and their answers covered wide range.
Secretary Carlisle accompanied the par
ty to the bureau of engraving and print
ing, which was next visited. The sight
seeing was, however, cut short by a
Secretary Carlisle back to the treasury
department and then the entire retinue
returned to the Arlington, which was
reached at IL :45.

ELEVEN ARE DEAD.
Opera House at Benton Har-

Benton Harbor, Mich, Sept. 7.-Yore's

During the evening the play, "A Fac

ent, and had closed only half an hour
when the building was found to be filled
from the basement to the fourth story
with a suffocating smoke, winch burst
into sheet of flames in the engine room:

Hundreds Looked On.
The flames progressed so rapidly that
before tbs. crash of the wall came there
was no hope of saving the building. The
firemen had just placed a ladder against
the wall when it tumbled. The wind
was blowing hard and this was the di-
rect cause of the calamity. The falling
walls proved to be not only a death trap
for the fire fighters. but dangerous to
everyone who was trying to help stay
the progress of the fire or assist in saw
ing goods. The first part of the building
to go down was the top part of the alley,
which buried the fifteen men. This ter
rible sight was witnessed by hundreds of
people who stood helplessly looking on,
though there were some who rushed in,
regardless of fire and smoke, to help the
shrieking, struggling victims.
