Father was taken to McGlad's hotel
where he died. His baca was broken,

The children were removed to theCoop

amputated. 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

who were working upon Lippincott's

were buried in the debris. They were

James has several ribs fractured, is hurt
internally, and has cuts cn the back and
shoulders. The storm was severe at
Stiatford, and New Jersey points in
general along the river and inland suf
fered. 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.

t. .. ....it 3 nMock when Coal
man Wolfe called the convention U
order after recess and the committee oi
credentials was not able to make its re
port. 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,

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.

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.
"I know nothing of the kind" hotly.
"I only know that I have alwavs loved
