nIca(',%no, J.i.., .uly 10.--The desks
are cleared for tlte balloting which be.
gins when the democratic national
colventiou reassembles at 10 o'clock
today. The real stiuggle opens with
the delegates wrought to an intense
pitch over the Pensational develop
ments of yesterday, when the Bryan
wave swept through the convention
and threatened for a time to stampede
it then and there. It has disturbcd all
calculations and has thrown the ranks
iof other candidacies into confusion.
'Tlhe day opened with a coitiniuaince
411 cool weather which has attended
the convention from the beginning
The wind of the prairies toward the
lake, yet it is as balhy as that of early
Epring or late fall. There is a haze in
the air like that of an Indian summer.
The sensation of yesterday and last
night had been contagious both within
and without the convention hall and
the public at large was eager to see its
expected development when the con
vention opened today. Chairman
White and other executive oflicers con
ferred early in the (lay as to the <tesira
bility of closing the doors against the
unruly crowd, inl case of repetition
of the disordler and discourtesy of last
Iight, when Senator Turpie, Senator
\ est and others who made nominating
speechee, battled in vain against the
confused murmur of hurrabs and cat
calls. While there was no disposition
to check the expression of exuberant
ieehiug at proper moment, yet there
was a determination to prevent it tak
ing absolute control of the convention
ami to prevent it from transacting
iiusinlss,
The rush for the doors was greater
than it had been at any Ireviots sea
sion. As the balloting was about to
begin it was felt that one of two con
ditions would b~e shown, either that
the enthusiastic element would domin
ate and would sw:ng delegations into
line with one accord, or else that a
condition would be show n which
would make a protrated deadlock in
evitable. The Bryan forces were mak
ing the most of the phenomenal rise of
the young orator from Nebraska yes
terday. The adjour nient at Imidnight
have given the leaders ot other candi
dacies an opIortunity to ially their
foree, and it served to give a few
hours in which cool counsel could pre
vail against the wave of wild senti
ient w hich was at high tide last
night. But, the convention hall
coitinted to be full o Bryan
rumors. The Nebraska mau had

been registered had been found insufli
cientI to nominate. The lesser candha
dlates wex e playing a waiting game,
behievinig that the time would come
when the convention would in despera
ti()n turn from its first favorites and
seek others on whom strength could be
concentrated.
Great interest centered in the courseo
of the New York and other gold diele
gations. Their conference had failed
to bring about a determination to bolt
excepit in a few individual instances,
hut the purpose5 on the part of New
York to refraini from taking part in the
ballot had an ominous suggestiveness.
With this was couled the reports of
the many eastern localities that demo
cratic newspapers had declared against
the silver platformi adopted yesterday.
The silver leaders did not seek to be
little the importance of this (attitude
by the eastern imen and their press, but
labored to develop a spirit of concilia
tion before the convention closes.
As the war was on and~the fight f. r
the nomination at hand, the conven
tion was op)ent d with prayer. It was
learned that Benator Hill would not
attend the convention today and there
was a flutter of excitement on the part
of gold meni as wvell as silverites It
was pasled along the line that he was
ill. A delegation of his friends went
to his hotel to urge him to be present.
When the regular ordler of business
was started, the first event wasn Har ity
taking tbe stand and naminating Pat
tison, of Pennsylvania. H~e was loudly
cheered
Then Mattingly, (of the District of
Columbia, nominated McLean. With
this, by general consent, nominations
wore closed3 and the roll of States
ordered for the ballot. The ball open
ed-with Alabama 22 for Boies and
Arkansas 16 for liand. Delaware gave
8 for Pattison and 1 for Bryan. The
vote ran along, Bland leading. It was
seen that Boles was not making head.
way but Bryan was forging along with
'land in the lea~d. $everal of the
Michigan delegates decined to vote.
The first vote for Stevenson was cast
by Minnesota, a lone single vote. Mc
Lean caught 3 votes from Now Hamp
shire.
New York and Now Jersey had
nothing to say, no candidates and no
voting.
This action created cheers and con
fusion. Ohio east 46 votes for Mc
Lean.
With the Ohio vote the ballot stood:
Bland, 136; Boics, 70; Matthews, 37;
McLean, 49; Bryan, 117: Blackburn,
37; Pattison, 22; Campbell,1; Russell, 2.
South Carolina cast 17 votes for
Tillman, 1 not voting.
A hot fight opened when Wisconsin
declined to vote. Hogan contended
that the unit rule did not exist and
demanded the right to vote. General
Bragg announced that the delegates
were under instructions and the major
ity ruled.
The first ballot resulted: Bland, 233;
Botes, 85; Matthews, 37; McLean, 54;
Bryan, 105; Blackburn, 93; Pattison,
95; Campbell, 22; Russell, 2; Pennoyer,
10; Tillman, 17; Hill, 1; Stevenson, 2;
Teller, 8. Not voting 185.
The result of this ballot outlined the
fact that there would have to be log
rollir g and swapping to secure a nomi
nation. Thero was a quiet feverish
excitement when the second ballot
started and thousands of' pencils were
at work taking down figures.
Alabama led off with 22 for Bland
while Arkansas followed with 16 for
the same candidate. As the roll call
proceeded it was easily seen that there
would be no nomination, Votes we e
scattered along for the candidates.
The second ballot resulted:
Biand, 281; Matthews, 31; Bryan,
197; Pattison, 100; Teller, 8; 1ill, 1;
Boies, :37; McLean, 53; Blackburn, 41;
Pennoyer, 8; Stevenson, 10.
Not voting 10.
On this ballot Bland gained 4s,
Boies lost 49 and Bryan gained 92.
At this point Mr. Marston arose and
demanded the revocation of the two
thirds rule. This created intense cx
citement. Marston was hot under the
collar and red in the face. Without
knowing it he had become famous.
ie lost sight of the fact that by a
counting in and counting out procces
his faction held two-thirds, but he did
not seen to know that every candidate
now wanted the rule strictly enforced
which the day before the whole silver
element opposed. Some kind friend
seeing the feverish condition of the
now famous Marston, offered him a
glass of water to cool his parched
tongue. This act of courtesy brought
down the house and Marston subsided
as the chair ruled hii out of order.
The Marston incidept out of the way, a
third ballot was ordered.
This ballot resulted: Bland, 291;
Boise, 3; Matthews, 34; Meban, 5;
Bry an, 219; Black burn, 27; Pattison,
97; Stevensan, 9; 11ill, 1.
Not voting 162.

The tourth ballot was ordered.
Alabana which. had stood irm

time for the chairman to restore order

this letter Governor 8tone withdrew
tho name of Blandl and cast the vote of

Then followed ai break to Bryan
until all wondered i. any iname had
been before the convcntion.
Then followed motions to make the
nomination unanimous and amid the
confusion the chairman announced the
nomination unanimous. This seemed
to break down the delegaten and a mo

about as unanimously ad pted.

Savannoalh News.
A lady in Sylvania, Ga., relates the 1
following true story of a most thrilling
experience through which a friend of
hers passcd some years ago, and which
hais never beei published:
It was neir Milledgevillo that this
friend-a beautiful young lady-I Ived.
Pauline Wias her name. She was en
gaged to be married to a gentlemns
from another State. The appointed
time had come, and the large house
was tilled with guests for the occasion.
There was one very particular friend,
however, a young lady, whom the
bride-elect wished to have present, but
it was impossible for hor to get there
before the morning after the night ap
pointed for the marriago. She toic
graphed her friend to come, and post
poned the wedding until the following
morning.
That night they hold a large recep
tion at the house, and numbers of the
guests remained over, so that they
might be picsent next morning. Thle.
house being crowded, the young lady .
gave up her own room to friends, and
with her maid went over into an unused
chamber, somewhat separated from
the other part of the house, and which
was called the "blue room." It was up
on the secon floor, and was connectol
by lattico work with the main building.

A Ifapid Voyage OvC the Sea
gained Her Husband.
In New York they are talking ove
the quick and successful generalshil
of Mts. Franz Molineaux, who boa
her rival over the sea by four hour
and won back her husband's love. Thi
story is quite interesting :
Molineaux bad been wealthy in Bor
lIt. He had married the daughter o
a rich grain merchant. When h(
failed in business he quarreled witi
his wife, for she made some remiarl
about his poverty which angered him
H1e left her, saying that he would g<
to America and begin life over again
They were both proud, and she por
aiLtted him t-> go alone, although ir
her heart she loved him. Women at
well as men are stubborn sometimes
The man came over here, and by
hard work established himself and wot
in rcecipt of a good salary. H<(
thought sometimes of the woman ovci
in Ierlin. She was living with hot
wealthy father, Who was very fond o
her. lie brooded over hat she hat
said befor their parting, and in the
months that he was here had steolet
his heart against her. Ito vowed thal
lie wotild never speak to her straain
and in a - p i rit, of piti ue lie sent aerios:
the sea for another woman to sharm
the hollio he had made here at No
I SG Lexington avenue.
1t, is a familiar saving, and po~sib1)13
not Worthy of all acceptation, that at
womnan cares more for a m w11h11Cvlen she
sees her power, over him on the wane
iirs. lol incaux heard of the other wo
mian and embarked in all haste on thc
steamer Lah(, hound for New York.
The other one, olt'tha Niehling. wts a
steerage passenger on the Venetia
from Ilamberg. The Venetia sailed
first, yet the fast steamer Lahn bcat het
into port, by four hours, with Mrs. Moli
neaux in the first cabin. She is a tall,
liandsomie woman. She was dressed
in the Most approved fashion, and hot
manners were those of a well born
German woman.
She had but little dilliculty in inte
esting the authorities in her case.
Detective Peter Groden found the hus
band and informed him that a woman
was at ilis island waiting to see him.
Molineaux was taken there yesterday,
and ic. Sonntor, the commissioner of
iminigration, asked him some very
searching questions. Then he dis
missel him to another room and talk
o(1 to Mrs. Molineaix. Neither hus
band nor wife know of the presence
of the other on the island.
They were both brought into the
same1 ioom. The woman it the sight
of her husband threw her arms about
his neck and then fainted. She re
covered opporttncly and told him how
eruelly she had misunderstood him,and
that she would willingly share poverty
and a crust of bread with him. No
man could resist talk like that. Moli
neaux kissed her' on thme forehead atnd
voiwed lhe would b)e true to hemr to the
"nd of time. So they went to No. I MOI
I r-xing ton a venue together, w herev
they will dwell.
Th le (other' wvoman ?Th e st ory is
practically3 finishied as far as she is
aoineirned. The i mmigiration au thori
ties camne to the conclusion, that as
she had no friends here now, and was
Ii kely to become a pmuli charge, the
best thing they could do would be to
sendo hcer back to Germany. She will
tro back in the steer'age today.
A SOLDIER'S MEMORY.
Visit ing tho Hat tie Fiel WVhere Ho
Was Maimed f'or Life.
I)r'. WV. M. Grier, of Due West, ior'si
dent oif the Erskine College, was at the
reunion in Richmond, but paid a visit
to the ancient town of Williamsburg,
where he lost a leg in the battle fought
thei'o on the 5th of May, 1802. lie
writes as follows in the last issue (if
the Associate Refoi'med Presbyterian:
Not Richmond but Willinmsburg was
the object of our v'isit. As is well
known, this is the 01(1 capital of Vir'
ginia and aboun'ds in historic associa
tions. It is not a pr'ogrecssive town.
Thiere is nothting of factories or water'
wvorks or clotric lights, or even horse
cars. WVe were glad of it. Moi'e than
thirty-four years hiad passed since we
saw it, and1( yet, without the slighiest
d illiclIty, we recog nizedl the places
with whliih we were once familiar.
The old church in which we lay for
there weeks, the private house wher'e
we were so cairefully nursed for- another
three weeks, these were unchanged.
Trhey looked just as they did thirty
four years ago. And so the battle
ground. The line of battle where the
Con fedeirat.-s were enaged, P'ort
.\agruder, the redounots to its right
andl left, these were all cleai' and dlis
tinet. As we looked over the ground
on that qiet evening last week, we
drei'amed. Th1l)irty- four years (1d)pped
out of the paist ; we were a sold ieir
y outh again, ever' our heads the shells
wore bursting, about our eat's the bul
lets were whizzing and in a few min
utos we lamy wounded andl helpless.
Tihe hiouris of anxious suspense which
followed, before the ambulance caine
upl, the dlopening of twilight into
night its we lay in the field hospital,
the brief examinatIons of the surgeon
ando thien--uttoi' darkness, completo
unconsciousniess, andl a hasty awaken
ing to the woi'k of the knife. It was
all ovom', atnd we were maimed foi' life.
The momentrry bitternesssoon p~assed,
and from that hour the deprivation
hias occasionedl no regr'ots. T1hus~ we
dr'eamod ; and dreamed too of the wvon
dlerfuil kindness of the good people1 of
town as they minister'ed every day to
our' comfort. A qiet night in the ho'
tel, "' Colonial Inn," only dee pened the
im presions of the aftei'noon.
We weire glad to be alone. An old
resident showed us all over the battle
field, which was about a imile Out of
the towin. Having hImself participated
in the light Ito was fully posted as to
motvomolnts of both armies. Our' inti
mait eq cuaintances of the place were
all dlead or' i'eimovedl. Not one of thema
remained. I1aving accompl~lied the
objet of our visit we took a final leavi
of the historic 01(1 town, never' expect,
lng to see it again. May its potaceful
shade ntever' again beo distur'bed by the
rud1o shock of war..

Catchings told the story of the e.

with it good social standing. In the

by the 11011 of the circle with which hie

one of their liiniber pilcking a q'uiarrel

Ile avoided the qi uarl and d idl not

tried to got him embroiled, without
success. Then they began to put in
dignities upon him and to insilL him.
His only mode of resentment was to
say that they were blackguards and
that ho won Id have nothing to do with.
them. In a short time they had him
ostracized. Ile thought he was ostra
cizing thIn. He seemed to he entirely
unconscious of any loss of digznity or
standing in the community and to look
upon his isolation as simply his own
voluntary retirement from what he
considered bad company. Meanwhile
he had become an object of contempt
among the cavaliers, and finially it be
gan to rellect upon the bank of which
Ie was cashier. One day, after sone
particularly gross insult had 'oen pass
ed over by him with his aceuistoiied
silent contempt, the president of tihe
bank took him aside and explai.ed
the situation, adding that he must
regain public repect or lie would have
to sever his connection with the bank.
Robbin asked what was expected of
him, and it was explained that ie
would have to challenge one of the of
fenders and ight a duel.
" Oh," lie said, " I can do that, if it
is necesary.'' Ie sent innediately a
challenge to the man who had las:t pIt
