DELAWARE INsTRUcTs FOR GRAY
Democratic Convention Paid No At
tention to His Wishes.


Dover, Del, June S.-COntrary to
the expressed wish of Judge George
Gray, the Delaware Democratic state
convention by a unanimous vote in
structed its delegates to the st. Louis
national convention to present the
name of Judge Gray to the convention
as the choice of the Delaware Democ-
racy for president and to work for
his nomination. This action was taken
after one OF the most stormy conven-
tions ever held in the state. The
leader of the opposition to the Gray
resolution for former United States
Senator Richard R. Kenney, who was
opposed to the word instruct" He
offered a resolution that the delegates
be requested" to place Judge Gray's
name before the national convention.
The fight between the Gray and the
anti-Gray factions became so bitter
that the former paid no attention to
Judge Grays letter in which he asked
that the Delaware delegates be not
instructed They fought to defeat Ken
ney and would not listen to anything
that his supporters offered.
Judge Gray knew nothing of the
action of the convention until in
formed by reporters. In reply to a
question as to whether the action Of
the convention would change his atti-
tude. he said

all. am not a candidate for president

IS held as military prisoner at Tel.
luride by order of Governor James H.
Peabody.
The main points of the opinion are
as follows:
The governor has ample power to
determine when a state of insurrection
exists in any county in the state. The
courts have no power to interfere with
his exercise of this prerogative.
The governor has the right to use
the military forces of the state to sup
press insurrection. He also has the
power to order the Imprisonment and
the killing Of insuTectionists if in his
opinion that extremity is necessary.
He can detain military prisoners un-
til he decides that the insurrection is
quelled.
The courts have no right to inter-
fere with the military authorities and
their handling of prisoners.
They have no power to attempt to
discharge military prisoners.
The contention of the appellant that
the military prisoners should be turn
ed over to the civil authorities is char
acterized by the court as absurd.

CARBOLlc ACID ANTIDoTE.
An EngIishman Has Tried Turpen-
tine With Success.

tine WIN success
A remarkable discovery has appar-
emily been made by Dublin veteri-
nary surgeon named Allen respecting
an antidote for carbolic acid poisoning,
says the London News.
Some time ago his attention was
drawn TO two horses which were evil
IDENTIFY suffering from poisoning. On
examining one he noticed that the mu-
cOus surface of the mouth was blanch-
ed and that the animal was stagger-
ing There was a general twitching Of
the muscles, the eyes were staring
and the animal was rapidly assuming
cOmatose condition. Mr.. Allen asked
for some oil, linseed for preference; if
not. any kind of oil that was handy
Some was brought and about two
wineglassfuls administered to one of
the animals, the effect being, to quote
the words of Mr.. Allen, miraculous.
For the first time he then noticed that
the oil which had been given to the
horse was the ordinary turpentne Of
commerce. So satisfied was he with
the result that he gave the second
horse dose although at that time the
animal was unconscious In about ten
minutes it recovered, and both horses
were at work the next day as if moth
ing had happened
Not long after this, by a peculiar CO.
incidence, Mr.. Allen was asked to look
at a blacksmith who after drinking u
glass Of stout had become very i'll. In
the forge the veterinary found the
smith in a condition of coma. a strong
smell Of carbolic acid pervading the
premises. Ultimately he discovered
that the man had drunk out Of the
wrong vessel and imbibed a solution
of the acid instead of the stout A doc
tor was at once sent for, but in the
meantime Mr.. Allen administered a
dose of turpentlne that happened to be
on the premises, and the man not only
quickly recovered, but resumed his
work within an hour
Turpentine as an antidote in similar
cases had been previously unknown,
and representative of the Daily News
recently sought out an expert with
view of getting n medical opinion upon
a matter of so much Importance. The
symptoms in the case you mention" he
said. are distinctly those of carbolic
acid poisoning, and 50 successful does
the treatment appear to have been that
further experiments in the same direc-
ton are well worth trying. If subse-
quent experiment confirms the oil of
turpentine treatment. then on every
packet or bottle containing carbolic
acid should be printed this simple anti
dote."

Looks Into Law Regarding Appoint

Harrisburg, Pa, June S.-A confer
ence to determine whether the sena-
torial vacancy created by Senator
Quay's death shall be filled by ap-
Dointment or by an extra session of
the legislature was held between Gov
ernor Pennypacker, United States Sen
ator PenrOse and Insurance Commits
siOner Durham, who control the sltua-
ton. at the executive mansion. The
governor spent several hours examin-
ing the law on the subject, and it is
thought he reached a decision and will
announce it in the near future.
The opinion still prevails here that
an extra session of the new legisla-
ture will be held next December for
the election of a senator, and that the
governor is in perfect accord with the
Republican state leaders.
Those who profess to know the gov
ernor's plans say that he prefers to
make an appointment for the re-
mainder Of Senator Quay's term.
which expires next March, but that he
believes under the state constitution
it is mandatory on him to call an extra
session before the meeting of the next
legislature. which will convene in bi-
ennial session in January.
