A VICTORY FOR ROUNDS.
His Name In the List Of Legislative
Nominees.
SIX BALLOTS NECESSARY TO SET
TIE THE CONTEST.

Convention Make These Nominations
Harry r. Virgin. Richard Webb, Fred
erIck V. Chase, holman S. Melcher,
samuel ID. PIummer, Edgar Il. Rounds.
The convention of ward delegates en-
trusted with the responsibility of select
ing Republican nominees for representa-
tives to the legislature, was in session
two hours yesterday afternoon. Five of
the six nominees were selected on the
first ballot, but the picking of sixth
was the occasion of much squandering
of time and brought out the liyeliest kind
of a competition. Alderman Edgar e.
Rounds finally came off victorious. de-
feating four competitors.
The convention was held in Republican
headquarters in Brown block. First the
delegates to the congressional convention
met to elect five delegates at large Mr..
William G. Soule presided at that session,
and Mr.. Thomas j. Little was secretary.
These delegates at large were chosen
Alexander T. Laughlin, George NJ. Seid.
6fS, Augustus oCAAAoA, OddI1cS Z .
Dam, Albert B. Hall.
The delegates to the legislative conven-
ton began to assemble about the time
the other meeting was adjourned. 1t
was evident that the balloting for candi-
dates would be lively. Chairman George
H. Allan of the committee had on his
desk big package of ballots bearing in
alphabetical order the names of these
seekers of legislative honcrs: Frederick
| V. Chase, Isaiah Daniels, Holman S.
Melcher, Charles J. Mcdonald, Samuel
d. Plummer. Edgar E. Rounds Edward
H. Sargent, Edward O. SWEET, Harry R.
Virgin, Richard Webb
There were only 40 delegates to vote,
but Chairman Allan, in anticipation of q
close contest, had taken precaution to
| have printed 500 of these ballots, and the
convention had use for nearly all OF them.
Several of the candidates dropped into
headquarters while the convention was
| in progress. Cand idates Rounds and
Plummer were earliest on hand. The lat
ter was practically sure of a nomination
on the first ballot. Not SO, however,
with Alderman Rounds. He had not
gathered enough strength to insure him
victory on first ballot, but he had the
advantage of good organization, while the
forces against him were scattered. His
hope lay in the failure of the opposition
to concentrate it's votes on any one can
didate.
At o'clock Mr.. Allan called the dele
gates to order. Mr.. Frederick e. Richards
was chosen chairman and Mr.. Allan
clerk. The following committee on Gre
dentials was appointed: Benjamin
Thompson, S. w. earle, &. H. johnson,
Frank !. Moore, DIR. Vose, Elias Thomas,
Jr., Fl. NJ. Cashier This committee re-
ported full delegation present from
every ward, there being one substitute
from Ward 4 and two from Ward 5.
| On motion of Mr.. W. G. Chapman, it
was decided to vote. for nominees on one
ballot. Messrs. True, Thomas and jack
son were chosen committee to receive
| and count votes.
They then proceeded to ballot with the
following result:

Adelaide Herrmann's Dances.

Dramtic authors, as is we'll known,
at times take their ideas from novels.
Dramatized they have made the most
successful of plays. Adelaide Her
mann, who is always up to date, has
taken Rider Haggard'g weird heroine
"She" for the subject of one of her
famous dances. She calls it "The
Witch" or THE Resurrection of She"
First she appears clad as an old hag,
copied after Charlotte CushmanS fam
Que character Meg Merriles, and amidst
thunder and lightnining, accompanied
by realistic dramatic music, she is
seen tOttering around the stage. Feeble
with age, she falls to the ground,
struggling to gain sufficient strength
to reach the enchanted fire, which is
seen smoldering in the distance. She
reaches it and rises erect with out
stretched hands toward heaven, as if
imploring the Almighty for youth. A
terrific crash is heard as she falls
in shapeless mass into the flames.
They suddenly burst into furious
blaze and in their midst stands the
beautiful danseuse, arrayed in ether
cal attire, smiling and contented. Her
hopes have been realized and the
| sought for youth and beauty has re-
turned. This is only one of the four
beautiful dances to be presented by
Adelaide Hermann at the Lyceum next
Monday night.

SENT TO THE woRKHousE.
Miserable Plight of the Marchioness
of Donegall.

London, Dec. 21.--The Marchioness
of Donegal will eat her Christmas din
ner in a London workhouse. Ill, mire-
ably clad and apparently in acute de-
stitution, she applied yesterday for ad-
mittance to the Great Northern hos
pital, from which place she was re-
moved to the Islington workhouse in
firmary. She explained that she was
homeless and not willing to commune
cate with her wealthy friends or with
her husband, who Is suffering from
pneumonia.
The story of the life of the marchioness
is painful. She left her husband in
1873 and in 1889 instituted separation
proceedings, in which the counter
charges of misconduct were made.
Unsavory details of their conjugal
life were also banded about. The
marchioness failed to obtain alimony
and has since received assistance from
her friends. She was last heard of in
May of the present year, when she
broke her leg in a hotel elevator and
was taken to the hospital.
The marquis has had a troubled fin
ancial career. He was declared bank
rupt in 1889 with liabilities amounting
to G5lS,S1j pounds. He then said he
considered he was justified in raising
half a million of money, in view of the
fact that he had prospects of sue
ceeding to an estate of G50,0OO a year.
But owing to the entail he only sue
ceeded to G1S0 pounds year. He
was mixed up in a financial affair
this year, when he lent his name to a
company prospectus, which caused the
Star to criticise him as peer with
a record of disgracing the order to
which he belonged.

TROUBLE ON GRAND TRUNK.
Situation with the Telegraphers AS
sumes Threatening Aspect.

Montreal, Que, Dec. 2l.--The situa-
ton between the Grand Trunk tele-
graphers and the company has again
assumed threatening aspect. When
General Manager Hays agreed to rec
osnfZe the committee representing the
men it was thought that a great step
had been taken towards an amicable
settlement Of the existing difficulties.
The committee has had several con-
terences with Superintendent McGuig-
gan but they have been fruitless. In
fact Grand Chief Powell states that
MIR. McGuiggan has distinctly declined
to consider any proposition looking to
an increased rate Of pay and a reduc-
tion of the working hours.
As the whole case of the men is prin-
cipally based on these two demands,
the committee has no further hopes
OF effecting anything through Mr. Nc
Guiggan and will now make a final ap-
peal to Mr.. Hays.

MILLIONAIRE NEVER SLEPT.
Death of Man Whom orchestras and
Billiard Clicks Soothed.

Kenosha, Wis, Dec. 21.-Millionaire
Ed. Balm, president of the Balm Wagon
company. whose death of pulmonary
apopleXy at the age of seventy-tive was
announced from Pasadena, Cal, was
familiarly known as 1.-The man who
never slept" and it is doubtful if an
other case like his exists.
1t is virtually fact that for the last
sixteen years he did not sleep an hour
in his bed. Constant devotion to busi-
ness was the cause of his sleeplessness,
he having been known to remain in his
factory up to sixteen years ago as late
as and o'clock in the morning, and
when he would seek rest he found ii
impossible to sleep.
For the greater part of the past ten
years he has taken daily trips to Chi
cago to pass the time away in street
car riding and driving during the day
and at night in a theatre or billiard
hall, which were the only places where
he was able to get short nap, the
music at the theatres and the clicking
of billiard balls alone affording him
short spells of repose.
