C o nventio n H all , C hioago , June 22.— As the convention ie-a.sserabled this evening, the heat was very great in the auditorium and the flutter of fans was incessant. A desire for comfort was stronger with many of the men in the audience than gallantry towards the ladies, and coats were removed and vests opened ; but the de.sire still remained un satisfied. The convention was called to order at 7.15 p. m., by chairman Este, who had recovered hi.s voice to a certain degree. The band struck up inspiring national airs, among them being “ Dixie,” which, however, did not create the enthusiasm which its every rendition excited at the recent St. Louis convention, “ My Country ’Tis of Thee,” was more popular, and was greeted with applause, as was also “ MarchingThrough Georgia.” As the music ceased Mr. Depew as cended the platform and received an en thusiastic ovation from the delegates and audience. He then withdrew his name. The convention adjourned until to 10 o’clock to-morrow. C O K N E D D U N I V E B S I T Y .

In 1838 he graduated from Union Col lege and he at once settled in Goshen, and began the study of law in the office of Van Duzer & Sharpe, and when that firm dissolved, he continued his legal studies m the office of Van Duzer & Westcott. He was admitted to the bar in 1845, and formed a partnership with Nathan West cott, which continued until Mr. Westcott was elected County Clerk in 1850. In 1856 Mr. Gedney was elected District At tomeyand in 1802 was chosen County Judge, and at the expiration of his term of office he practiced his profession on his own account, with great success. In 1874, his son, Herbert, having been admitted to the bar he formed a partnership with him, which continued till the present time. Judge Gedney was married in 1843 to Miss Henrietta Robinson Duer, youngest daughter of Alexander Duer, Esq., -who was a son of Col. William Duer, of the Revolutionary Army. Three children were the fruits of this marriage. Of these, the oldest, Alex Duer Gedney, was lost at sea, off Cape Horn, in 1800. The others, Herbert and Miss Nettie, are living in Goshen.

The Pennsylvania work is what is called the ancient York masonry and is somewhat different from the New York work, and the Pennsylvania masons made visit to see the Third degree worked and compare it with their own work. Very few of them had ever before seen the New York work. They expressed much gratifiealiou at the manner in whicli Mr. Jno. L. Bonnell, the Master, worked the degree, and what they had seen. There were about 100 of the visitors present, which with the attendance of the Port Jervis Masons, brought the number to about 200 Masons present. It was very warm in the Lodge Rooms and the main room was packed during the work ing of the degree. At 11.30 the visitors were escorted to the banquet hall, where an elegant supper had been prepared under the supervision of Mr. JelmCarley. A number of speeches were made at the table by visiting mem bers, who were lavisli in their praise of the way in which they had been enter tained. E R I E E X C U R S IO N S T O -M O R R O W .

The Monticello people wired Vice President Felton that if the facilities were granted for the summer the offer would be accepted. When one of the oflicials of the Monticello road was seen this morn ing he said it was true that the Erie had made an offer as above,- but it would not be accepted unless granted for the summer. Said h e : “ We have just had notices printed informing the patrons of the road of the change in our Port Jervis terminus, we have ordered \lumber for our Jersey avenue station, made arrangements for its construcUon and also for that of a .‘Y and it would be foolish for us under these circumstances to accept the Erie’s offer for a week’s grace.” been adopted on the D., L. ^ W. road, by which a brakeman can couple up with out going between the cars.

They have piled about 2,000 tons on the ground back of the coal pockets and it is said that they intend to increase it to 0,000 tons. Surveyors are at work to-day locating the line of the P.
