Iout the provision making the section ap-

increasing the rank of the commander
of the army. Bate. of Tennessee, also
A objected to the Increase in rank and

Pgave him credit for the efficiency with
j, which the army was increased from 25,-

The convention was harmonious in
every respect. but one. Washtenaw
county sent two delegations, one known
as the Judson and the other as the anti
Judson. The committee on credentials
reported that it was unable to agree,
the vote sanding si1 to six. Each side
was given thirty minutes TO present its
case, and then the convention seated
the Judson delegation. The significance
of this action is that it sets precedent
for the state gubernatorial convention
not yet called.
The Judson delegates selected for
that convention are for Justus S.
StearLs for governor, While the ants
are for d. NJ. Ferry. This practically

DEATH OF M. G. WARNER.
He Expired at Half-Past Two Yei
a.Jax Affar On Vonr Illness

He Expired at Half-Past Two Yes
terday, After. n Long Illness.
At twenty minutes past two o'clock
yesterday afternoon. NJ. G.. Warner
died at the residence Of an Island
friend, after a long illness. in the
thirty-fourth year of his age.
The deceased was one of the best
known young men of the city, and a
more genial, companionable or gentle
manly nan would be difficult to find.
For at least five years he was in poor
health, upon occasions seriously i'll,
but he was always cheerful, hopeful
and confident, and time and again he
was able t o resume work. Each re-
curing attack of illness, however, left
his general condition worse than be-
fore, and the result was a gradual
breaking down of his constitution.
For months last summer and autumn
he was in the country, and came back
to the city temporarily improved, but
as winter advanced the old difficulty
appeared, and the result was an illness
which resulted in death.
Mr.. Warner was one of the original
members of the Elks, and had a host of
warm personal friends. The funeral
arrangements have not yet been made,
but will be completed to-day.
