The damage at Gloucester will amount to several thousand dollars. The storm was very ee ere in Camden and numerous Bmall buildings were un roofed and trees blown down. It ia al most certain that many persons have been drowned in the Delaware river. Up to midnight Coroner Jeffries of Cauiben had received inquiries from Philadelphia and Camden for fourteen persons who are supposed to have been out sailing when the storm broKe, and it is feared they are drowned. At Had don Heights, near Huddonfield, N. J., the tornado demolished the two-?tory dwelling that was being constructed for Benjamin Lippincott. James A.

At Atlantic City the storm was terrific, and of an electrical nature. It lasted three hours. Telegraph and tele phone wires were torn down, trees up rooted, and until the electric weres were topped several buildings were struck by lightning. Killed at Work. PnoviDEifCK, R. I., July 2. Four men were killed while at work Thursday laying the stone abutments to a railroad bridge under Broad street in this city. The bank above them caved in, com pletely burying PatrbK Sullivan and Leroy Libby, Pietro Grande and Pas quale Dio Rio. The other workmen were partially buried, but were rescued alive. Work of I'.obbers. flOWTlNGTON, Ind., Jnly 2 An ex press freight on the Chicago & Erie road was wrecked near here last night. Ten cars of bullion, silk and valuable horses were ditched. The wreck was caused by ties being piled on the track, it is supposed for the purpose of robbery. No one was killed, but the loss will be t ery heavy. Peace End the Rivalry. Chicago, July 2 Peace ends the rival ry of World's fair officials yesterday. Af ter a long conference, the highest row ers of the ozposition agreed upon a plan of administration. By the terms of the agreement a new agency is created in a board of administration composed of four men. Two of these will be chosen from the national commission and two from the local directory, and this board 1 is to be superior to any officer of the ex position. What salaries the members of the board will receive ia yet to be de cided. Director General Davis retains most of his powers, and Chief Burnham ii made subordinate to him, in a meas ure with a title of dire 3 tor of works. Both of these officials are subject to the orders of the board of administration. In the general rearrangement Presi dent Baker of the local directory seems to have been dropped, so far as being an executive officer is concerned. The ne board will be organized as soon as the local directors approve the compact. General St. Clair and President Palmer will probably go on the board from the national and Lyman Gage and Edwin Walker fiom the Chicago directory. It is now stated, on good authority, that it ia a settled fact that the poet iWJbittier will write the opening ode for iths Chicago World's fair. When the jmattor was first broached to the poet he was unable to give a definite answer but improved health will now permit him to write the ode. The title is ntill a mystery to everybody except tit Whit' liar. Bulldogs are at one and the same time the most effect lonale find lero . clous of animals.

The Lincoln Glee club enter tained the convention with a song, afte which the committee on credentiali made itB report. No contests were re ported and the committee was die charged. The committee on permanen orzaoizatioa recommended that tin temporary officers be made permanent and the suggestion was adopted. At this point Paul Vandervoort want ed all the old soldiers in the conventiot to Btand up and be counted. They die so to the number of 105. The ex-confederates were then called and Evestox up, while the convention gave l.hret cheers for the blue and the gray. Van dervoort then moved that the conven tion endorse the St. Louis platform by a rising vote. The motion was csrr'.ec unanimously. The work of selecting eight delegates to the national convention wus taker up. William Crane of Jefferson count) made a fervid appeal for the farmers asserting that neither of the old parties had honored the farmors by sending one to their national conventions. D Clem Deaver of Omaha moved that aach congressional district select one delegate and then the convention select the other two. The motion was carried, SELECTING THE DELE0ATE'. The First district named J. V. Wolft of Lancaster; Second, J. Kelly Mc- Comdas of Douglas; Third, W. A. Poyn- tor of Boone; Fourth, I. D. Chamber lain of Polk; Fifth, W. A. McKeighan ol Webster; Sixth William Neville of Lincoln. These gentlemen together with C. II. Van Wyck and John H. Powers com prise the delegation at large to the Isational Convention. SmuRBlera Caught. New York, July 1. A family ol passengers on the steamship Teutonic, which arrived at the pier yesterday, nearly succeeded in defrauding the gov ernment of a large amount of duty. Tho head of the family end severs! ladies were permitted to go ashore aftei a somewhat perfunctory examination, there being reason to eupposa that they were entirely reputable persons. The son, however, wa3 searched. He had fourteen Walshes in his possession. This discovery sent a couple of inspec tors post haste to the hotel, to whicL the family had been driven in a cab. The result wus that the inspectors found and seized about 10,000 worth of jewel ry. The Inspectors refused to say any thing about the case, except to aflirm that the smugglers were people of Itt highest standing, and were well known in prominent social circles in this city and in Pittsburg, Pa. They said thai the culprits were under surveillance at the hotel in which they were stopping, but refused to give the names of the house. It was a hotel of the highest standing, they acknowledged. When asked whether any of the diamonds or jewels had been taken from the women of the party, the inspectors declined tc anajrer. The most sensational disclo sures are looked for. Denies the Charge. Tbejitoh, N. J., July 1. Counsel for the Jersey Central and Reading railroad companies filed their answer yesterday: the charges of the state accusing them ct conspiracy t j raise the price of coal, and holding that the leases entered intc between them were illegal and therefore void. The answer denies every charge regarding illegality and conspiracy. whilo admitting the famous tripartite agreement, l he interesting real u re o the document is the denial of an anthra cite coal combination. These road?, the answer assert?, own no coai lands oi minM and nnithAr do thv aaII anv sa1 but are simply common carriers, and cannot fix the price of coal nor create a monopoly. Prospecting for Gold. RocKVii.i.r., Md., July 1. The gold fever has suddenly revived in the Po- tomio fields. Yesterday Messrs. Phillip John and Frank Stone and sisters sold to Messrs. Stocking and Barstow cl Washington forty-five acres of land foi 15,000 on which operations will be begun at onos. Mr. C. W. Spoforth of Califor nia, who prospected on the Harries farm two years ago, has arrived with a party of capitalists from the Pacific coast, and will Inspect this section of the country with a purpose of prospecting for gold.

Even while thinking this she idly opens a book lying on the table i.ear her, where some brushes and paints are scattered. A piece of paper drops from between its K-ave3 and flutters to to the ground. Lilting it, she sees it is the letter written by him to Dora, which the latter had brought to her. here to this very room, w lien asking her advice as to whether she should or should not meet him by appointment ui the lime aik. She drops the letter hurriedly, as though its very touch snugs ner, ana, rousing herself with bitter self-con- tempt form her sentimental regreis, works vigorously at her painting lor about an hour, then growing wearied, she l'.ings her brushes aside, and goes to the monnnt:-roo:n. where she knows she will lind all the others assembled. I'liere is nobuJv here just now how ever, except Sir Adrian, who is lookin nither tired and bored, and Lthel Villiers. The latter, seeing Florence e-ler, gladly gathers up her work and runs away to have a turn in the garden with Captain Kingwood. Florence, though sorroy for this tete-a-tete that has been forced upon her. sits down calmly enough, and, taking up a book, prepares to read aloud to Sir Adrian. But he stops her. Putting out his hand, he quie'.ly hut (irmly close3 the hook, and then says: "Not toilav. Florence; I want to speak to you instead." "Anything you wish," responds Flor ence steadily, though her heart is beat- , ing somewhat hastily. I "Are you sorry that that my un happy cousin proved so unworthy?" he asks at last, touching upon tins sub ject with a good deal of nervousness. He canot forget that once she had loved this miserable man, "One must naturally feel sorry that anything human could bo guilty of such an awful intention," she returns gently, but with the utmost unconcern. Jfir Adrian stares. Was he mistaken then? Did she never really care for the fellow, or is this some of what Mrs. Talbot had designated as Florence's slyness"!1 No, once for all he would not believe that the pure, sweet, true face looking so steadily into liis could be guilty of anything underhand or base. "It was false that you loved him then he questions, following out the train of his own thoughts rather than the meaning of herlast words. "That I loved Mr. Dynecourt!" bhe repeats in amazement, her color rising. What an extraordinary idea to come into your lieau: o;n anything, 1 confess I felt for your cousin noUnus but contempt and dislike." "Then, Florence, what has come be tween us ?" he exclaims, seizing her hand "l'ou must have known that I loved you many weeks ago. Nay, long before last season came to a close: and then I believe--forgive my presump tionthat you too loved me." Vour belief was a true one." slit returns calmly, tears standing in her beautiful eyes. "15ut you, by your own act, severed us." "I did?" "Yea. Nay, Sir Adrian, be as honest in your dealings with me as I am with you, and confess the truth. "I don't know what you mean," de clares Adrain, in utter bewilderment; 'you would tell me that you think it was some act of mine that that ruined my chance with you?" "You know it was" reproachfully.
