C hicago , June 19, 12.25 p. m.—The Auditorium, where the National Eepubli- can convention will be held, is almost filled with a very enthusiastic gathering. The flags, state banners, and profuse deco rations o f the hall give it a very gay ap pearance. The entrance of General Fre mont was greeted with cheers. The Convention was called to order at 12 31 by chairman Jones of the National Committee. Chairman Jones’ opening speech rang with protection and he said the platform and the candidates of the convention should be the embodiment of this spirit. At 12.53 temporary chairman John M. Thurston of Nebraska was greeted with applause. A Kansas delegate announces that the Kansas delegation is not responsi ble for the election o f Thurston and pro poses Warner Miller. Mr. Thurston’s speech was punctuated with applause. His reference to the leaders o f ’84 was greeted With the wild est applause. Mr. Thurston said the great issue o f the coming campaign is the tariff, and that a great army will rise to trample out forever the pernicious doctrines of free trade. (Applause and cheers.) His statement that Blaine has denied us the privilege of supporting him in this convention was greeted 'with cries of “ n o ” and applause. There was re peated applause from the galleries. Mr. Thurston continued: “ We dare not commit the political crime of disobedience to Blaine’s expression.” (Great and con tinued applause.) When he spoke o f the Republican party as the party of protec tion there was more applause. In speak ing of the Chinese question he said the course of the present administration was such as to please every coward. He re ferred to the Democratic straddle of the tariff question and civil service reform. He prayed for another Moses, to make the wanderings o f the Republican party four years instead of forty. At 1.29 Horr o f Michigan presented to the temporary chairman a gavel, made out of wood of oak under which the Repub lican party organized at J.ckson, Mich. At 1.45 on motion of Mr. Hollowell of Kansas a resolution of sympathy for General Sheridan was adopted. The request of the Grand Army for 200 tickets brought up a discussion of the soldier question in which Taft of South Carolina, Butterworth of Ohio and Lewis of Kentucky participated. The request was referred to the National Committee. At 2 o’clock the roll was being called for the appointment of mem bers of the various committees. The call of the states was dispensed with and the name.^? were sent to the chairman. Nebraska presented Gen. Fremont to the convention, amid much enthusiasm. In the cour.se of his remarks the General predicted victory under the banner of protection to American industries. Fred Douglas was called on and ad dressed the convention, briefly .md mer rily. He expressed the hope that the convention will make such a record as to put it out of the power of Democrats and Mugwumps to see no difference between the Democratic and Republican parties in re.spect to his race. At 2.20 the clerk, on motion of Mr. Poraker of Ohio, was reading the list of committees. At 2 46 the Virginia contest was taken up and Mr. Wise took the platform and made a strong protest against Mahone being put on the Credential Committee to pass his own credentials. JB oar of Mass achusetts said that Mahone and colleagues under parliamentary laws cannot vote on their own cases. (Applause.) At 3 o’clock General Mahone took the platform to make a plea for his own dele gation. Spaulding of Michigan made a point o f order that no appeal had been made by a regularly constituted delegate. At 3.14 the chair declared the debate on this matter out of order. A MTEEION DOEEAB FTBE. Three Thousand People H o m eless—A Town Destroyed, A dispatch from DuBois, Pa., says that a fire broke out at 1 o’clock Monday afternoon in the centre of the towm, and owing to the high wind blowing at the time it could not be controlled until it had destroyed the whole business portion of the place and several hundred residences. The loss is put by insurance agents at a million dollars, but this is a very large estimate. Three thousand people are homeless and destitute to-night and in need of immedi ate aid. The flames spread so rapidly that many of them G.scaped with barely their clothing which they wore. The origin of the fire could not be de termined. A fire engine came at 7 o’clock from Renova, but by that time evil was wrought, and it afforded little aid. At 12 midnight the fire has exhausted itself, having no more available ground to work The night is cooler. The insurance is very light. It was rumored that oue or two persons had perished, but this could not be verified. John DuBois, the lum ber king, has it is rumored determined to devote f 500,000 to the sufferers.

Bearing on the convention and the work of the Republicans this fall the following from Secretary Jas. S. Lehmaier of the State League may be of interest: In addition to the duly accredited dele- id alternates there will be a large endance at Saratoga o f the members of the Republicans o l every State, In no way can this co-operation be brought about so effectually as through a union of the various Republican club organizations of the State. The State League was formed to effect such a union and to give a uniformity and direction to and to give a uniformity and i the work of Republican clubs everywhere in the State, thereby supplementing and acting as a valuable auxiliary to the WITH PEN AND SCISSORS.

In the gen eral result a vote in the moat distant sec tion of the State is of as much importance to the Republicans in your locality as a vote cast in your midst. The League is engaged in doing a great work for the party ; it has already accomplished very much. In the matter of organization the Republican party is now fully three months ahead of its condition at the same stage of my previous Presidential campaign. The recent Republican State Conven tion, held at Buffalo on May Kith, passed a resolution strongly endorsing the work of the League and called upon Republi- 1 and Republican Clubs throughout the e to at once connect themselves with it.

The New York Dele.gateg Entlmsiastieally .Supjiorl H im —Jolm M. Thurston of Nebraska Selected for Temporary Chairman—Other Booms. CmuAG), 111., June 18 —Chauncey M. Depew finished his survey of the situation last night, and determined to let his name go before the convention. He announced this conclusion to Senator Hiscock, Mr. Phelps and several other gentlemen. Although Mr, Depew was understood to be a candidate from the first, he had not until that moment formally announced to his friends that he would seek or ac cept the nomination. So much, had been said about tbe feeling against Mr. Depew in the Granger States being so strong that his candidacy would be hopeless that Mr. Depew desired to find out for himself what that feeling was. Yesterday he received such assurances from Minnesota and other states which had before been reckoned against him that he decided to go into the contest. When Mr. Depew’s determination was made known a meeting o f the New York delegation was called and the matter was laid before the body, who at once resolved to support him with the whole strength of the delelegation. It was positively stated at the meeting that Depew would receive the whole vote of New York, the votes of New Jersey and Connecticut and sufficient delegates in Minnesota and else where to bring his strength on the first ballot up to 94 votes. The New York delegates met at noon to-day with closed doors, and remained in session for over one hour. The meeting was called to order by B. G. Sloan as temporary chairman, and the first busi ness in order was stated to be the election of a permanent chairman, Chauncey M. Depew was unanimously elected to fill the position, and R. W. Hamilton was selected as permanent secretary. Frank Hiscock was appointed to serve on the committee on resolutions; J. B. Webber on the committee on credentials ; G. B. Sloan on the committee on perma nent organization, and Gen. Husted on the committee on rules. A resolution was then adopted without a dissenting voice declaring Chauncey M. Depew to be the choice of the delegation for the Presidential nomination. It was decided that Mr. Depew should be placed in nomination by ex-Senator Warner Miller of New York. The speech in seconding the nomination will proba bly be made by General Knapp, although the delegation has not decided definite ly whether to have a seconding speech or A summing up of the situation is largely guess work. Sherman is a little weaker. The odds are greatly against any man in the field and behind all as an al most certain outcome if the convention ballots two or three days Blaine will be the man. To-day’s Tribune says that no less than 11 “ favorite sons ” are in the field, tying up 11 state delegations with two-fifths of the vote of tbe convention, taking into consideration the votes of their states alone. Tbe list is as follow?; Sherman, Ohio................................ 46 votes .Ot’pew, New York ........................ 72 votes Gresham, Illinois ........................... 44 votes Allison, Iowa ................................. 26 votes Harrison, Indiana............................30 votes Alger, Michigan ............................. 26 vote Rusk, Wisconsin ........................... 22 vote Hawley, Connecticut .................... 12 votes Phelps, New Jersey ...................... 18 votes Ingalls, Louisiana and Kansas... 34 votes Total ...................................... 330 votes REPUBLICANS SECURE THE RINK The Young Men’s Republican Club has secured the Rink for the campaign, and it is being put in good condition.

The New Track on tlie'Carhoiidale Branch Sinks out of Sight. The new double track which the Erie Railway Company is laying between Oar- bondale and Susquehanna suddenly sank out of sight recently at Ararat Summit. The old track also sank several inches. Men were put to ■work night and day dumping in gravel, stones and trees, but without avail, as everything disappears in a very short time. The Jefferson Branch as this track is called, was built in 1872. One summer morning of that year the roadbed for a quarter of mile, which had been construc ted with great difficulty and at a large cost, disappeared, and an immense marsh appeared in its place. It is thought, after a few tests, that the pit is bottomless, but they at last formed a solid foundation by driving four timbers, each about forty feet long, one above the other down into it, Between these piles were placed trees, rocks, gravel and other materials, and thus a roadbed was procured It is said that many years ago an immense lake occu pied tbis spot and that it disappeared en tirely one night, leaving a peculiar sort of morass in its place. The company supposed they would have no further trouble after 1872, but this sudden sinking has thor oughly alarmed them. THE s p e e d o f a TRAIN. The majority of engineers use their driving wheels as a guage. They know its circumference, and by counting its rev olutions within a certain time can tell very accurately the speed at which they are running. Another method is to time the run between mile posts, and still anoth er is to make calculation from the num ber of telegraph poles passed in a certain time. These poles, in a level country and where four or five wires are used, are spaced so that they are thirty to the mile. If only .a single wire is used they are spaced from twenty-five to t .veaty-eight to the mile. The most accurate method, and the one most used by experienced railroad men, is to count the number of rail joints as the train passes over in twenty seconds. The rails in nearly all cases are thirty feet in length, and tbe number passed over in twenty seconds is the speed per hour the train is running For instance, if a passen ger sitting in a sleeper can count thirty clicks on the wheels on a rail joint in twenty seconds, the train is running at the speed o f thirty miles an hour. NOTES. A much larger and more massive turn table is being constructed at the Erie round house in place of the old one,which could not turn the larger engines. It is to have a brick foundation, is to be 10 feet longer, 20 inches deeper and finished in about two weeks. T. H. Beggs of Kent, Ohio, has begun suit against the New York, Lake Erie and Western Railroad for $50,000, alleg ing that while employed as a brakeman, through the negligence of the conductor, two of his fingers were cut off- The passenger train on the Newburgh Branch ran off the track at Greycourt this morning and delayed train 9 forty min utes and train 1 twenty minutes. THE LIST OF GRADUATES SALE OP BONDS. At the sale of the remaining bonds issued by the Board of Education of tbis village for building the new school house, held this afternoon, the entire lot was purchased by Mr. Isaac W. Sherrill of Poughkeepsie. He paid par for $6000, and for $2000 falling due in 1895 he paid $2006. W HEN OUR SH IP COMES IN . “ A Belvidere, N.
