BUCKEYE DEMOCRATS.
The Ohio Democratic State ConVen.
ton in Session at the
State Capital.

Convention Hall, Columbus, o.. July
1.-THE democratic state convention
was held here under peculiar circum-
stances. All the more conservative
elements had combined in the prelim-
inaries against the friends of Mayor
Tom L. Johnson, but the combna-
ton was not maintained after the
committees were selected. and during
the all-night session of the commit
tee on resolutions it was claimed that
the Mclean and Kilborune men were
no longer cooperating against the
propositions of the johnson men on
the platform and organization. The
contest was in the committee on reso-
lutions and on both national and state
issues.
The Johnson men won on their ia
vorite views on state matters and the
others on national issues.
There is no reaffirmation of the
Kansas City or any other platform.
There is no mention of previous plat
forms or of Bryan. James Kilbourne
was nominated for governor by ac-
clamation.

CORPORAL STEVENS.
The Missing Arsenal Soldier Turns
Up IN Memphis.

The officials at the Columbia Arsenal
have been notified that Corporal Ste
vens, the soldier who disappeared from
here on the night of the cyclone last
November, is under arrest at Memphis,
having given himself up
The last seen of Stevens at this place
was about an hour before the cyclone,
at the Bethel House, when he was pre-
pairing to walk to the Arsenal. The
storm came up soon afterwards, and it
was thought that he was caught in the
wind and blown away. Diligent search
was made for the missing man but nc
trace of his whereabouts could be
found
Had Stevens remained in the service
of the government. he would have beer
retired soon ON half-pay. This fact
led to the supposition that he had been
killed as it was not Thought that.
under the circumstances, he would
have deserted.
a. The penalty for de'ertion is from six
months to two years in the peniten-
tiary With dishonorable discharge. II
is presumed that Stevens grew tired OF
his wanderings, and, fearing detection,
thought it best to give himself up anC
take his medicine

DESTRUCTIVE CHARB0N.
CommissionerDunn Reports A State
Quarantine.
/ Nashville American.


Last Monday the Governor held
consultation with Commissioner of Ag
riculture Paine with regard to the
outbreak of Charlton in Mississippi,
and it was decided to send Live Stock
Commissioner Dunn to Memphis to
investigate the disease, and, if need
be, 90 to Mississippi to make a more
thorough investigation. Capt. Dunn
accordingly went and returned yester-
day morning, when he made a verbal
report to the Governor concerning
the status of the malady. Capt Dunn
stated that he went to the State line
and found conditions worse than he
had feared. On his trip he saw a
number of gentlemen who owned plan
tations in the infected region and from
them he learned that domestic animals
were dying rapidly every day.
Some of these planters reside in this
city. and they told him that they had
lost every work animal on their plan
tations. Capt. Dunn said that on some
plantations every animal died within
few hours after being struck with
the malady. He recited a number of
instances to show the quickness with
which Charlton killed animals On one
plantation the mules were put up for
dinner and by the time for returning
to work they had been seized and be-
fore night every one of them had died.
The animals have a high fever, fol-
lowed b. a chill and then paralysis
Some of them linger for several DAYS
after being infected, but the rule is a
speedy death.
Capt. Dunn said that Memphis wa:
filed with planters who had come
there to purchase stock to replace
those that had died, and that unless
the ravages of the disease were checked
Mississippi would be in very bad con.
dition for completing its cotton crop,
which is now about half worked
While in Memphis Capt. Dunn quar-
antined Shelby county against the
state of Mississippi, and sent Claude
Show, the Live Stock Inspector fol-
J West Tennessee, to Fayette and Harde
man counties 10 establish a quarantine
there. Ii is his intention, acting unde
instructions from the Governor, t,
quarantine the entire State to-day.
