vINELAND, June 26, 1sss.-The inhabitants
of the village Of Lake Church, near Forest

hounds in the embrace of a huge bear, While
The others were yelping and jumping about.
The bear, which was slowly moving toward
a wood near by, finally disappeared.
Yesterday morning plenty Of bear tracks
were found about the neighborhood. The in

name was received with loud applause
and cheering. led by the Maine delega-
ton.
The clerk proceeded with the call of
the roll until the state of New York
was reached, when Hon. William A
Sutherland, of that delegation, arose.
His appearance was greeted with ap-
plause. He said: 1.-THE claims of the
state of New York and her favorite
son will be presented by her other IA
vorite son-that citizen of all the
states of the union-Chauncey M. De-
pew" Great enthusiasm was mani
tested by the conven ton on this an
nouncement, during which Mr.. Depew
proceeded to the platform and pre-
sented the name of Gov. Morton.

speech nominating Gov Morton, of

and plumes which had been distribut-
ed, and there was terrific cheering.

was recognized, but the enthusiasm
was so great that he could not be
heard for several minutes. Finally he
was heard to say: 'Mr. Chairman,
