succeeded in getting about 100 men safe-
ly inside the gates Of the Star plant in
this city and preparations are in prog

Seven foreigners were arrested for dis
turbing the peace at the Pennsylvania

given a hearing this morning and se-
verely reprimanded. All were discharged
but one, who was fined for having a
dangerous weapon in his possession
The magistrates requested the Amalga-

This ticket was nominated by the
democratic state convention Wednes-
day afternoon. Pandemonium
reigned from the. time the first vote
was called on governor until Brice
was nominated for railroad commits
sioner. Everything went by default.
No one really wanted the nomina-
tion after the fight over the Kansas
City reaffirmation. That is, no one
that the leaders Of the party really
wanted, and consequently every
thing was in state of cnaos.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Aug. 22.-That which was
done in the democratic state convention
last evening between the hours of 4:3O
and 1880 p. m. made 1t doubly certain
that A. b. Cummins will have the larg-
est majority ever given any candidate
for governor OF Iowa. This Is the delib-
crate opinion Of many conservative men,
including not few who were delegates
to the aforesaid convention. The con-
vention was SO managed and manipu-
lated as to cause disgust and disappoint-
ment to both factions of extremists
and the convention was composed of ex-
tremists almost to the exclusion of all
others. Opinions differed as to the re-
cult. When Walt Butler was asked
why the radical silver men did not hunt
up some candidates to put on their plat
form, he said:
I was interested only In the platform
: j wanted that to be right and don't care
enything about who the candidates are
The platform is what we wanted and
got. This is enough for us.'

strange Features Involved.

The suit of Isaac Ciener against the In

No. ., before Lawson NJ. Harvey, sitting as
Judge pro tenn. in the absence of Judge
Ieathers, for several days, and the prin-
cipal contention so far has been to define
what a barrel house is. Several times this
point has been brought out. but each time
technicalities were smoOthed over without
getting the desired Information. Yesterday
there was a long halt in the trial when the
am objected TO Ciener answering the ques-
ton as to whether his decreased sales of
tobacco on account of the action of the as
scciation interfered with the sale of liquor,
or If the sale of liquor helped to sell his
tobacco. Here an effort was made to find
out the exact status of a barrel house iii
the eyes of the law, and its exact relation
to commercial trade. TIL defendants al
legged that the keeper of such a place should
not be allowed to sell tobacco by whole
sale, and that his business had the same
standing as that of a retail dealer. After
long parleying Judge Harvey let Ciener
answer the question, but the definition was
not brought out, and what a barrel house
really is will have TO be decided at some
future time.
