Hon. A. L. linger of Adatr county will
carry the republican congressional banner
u the Ninth loun district again this fall.
to was nominated In the convention yes-
crday , breaking u deadlock that had lasted
or two sessions of the convention and had
canned a good deal of excitement and more
than a lltlle hltlerncGS.
After a night spent In caucusing the con
vention met yesterday morning about 10
o'clock , and there WHS a feeling prevalent
among the delegates that the end was near ,
although there had been no dellnltc agree
ment us to the means by which Iho. end
Would be reached. Kvery delegation In
: he convention still had hopes for Us favor-
ilc KUII and Ihero was some hcsllauey aboul
getting at the work of the morning. It
was decided to name the congressional com-
mllteu before the ballollng should be re
sumed und the roll of counties produced the
names of the following gentlemen , who
were named as the members of the com
mittee : Audubon , II. B. Herbert ; Cass ,
Kilas Wilson ; Guthrlc , 13. G. Bailey ; Harri
son , O. L. French ; Mills , Shirley ( Jilllland ;
Mnolgom ry , T. II. Murphy ; Pottawatlamie ,
V. 13. Bender ; Shelby , C. It. Benedict.
With that work out of the. way , Chair
man Conslgncy called for the eighty-ninth
formal ballot and the roll call was com
menced. Adalr county voted nine for Hugcr.
Audubon gave IIvo for Hager , two for Byers
and one for Curtis , a change of one vote from
tlie last ballot on the previous session. Cass
county gave Its twelve votes for Curtis and
llarrlb-on came up w-ith UK solid thirteen
for llagcr. Guthrlc voted nine for Hagcr
and two for Curtis and Mills kept the vote
it had cast from Ihc beginning , eight for
HaKcr , Iwo for McPhc-rbon and one for
Hyirs. Then Monlgomcry was called and the
storm broke.
SMITH M'PIIKHSON WITHDRAWS.
"Mr. Chairman , " came from Ihe Mont
gomery delegation , and Ihe familiar fig
ure of Smith McPherson was descried ask
ing the recognition ot the chair. There was
n burst of cheers and applause from the
delegates ut McPhcrcon nuked permission
to address the convention before the vole
of Montgomery county was cast. He made
his way lo the speaker's rostrum and wllli
a great deal ot intensity of feeling said :
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Coiv
vcntlon : Eighty-nine times the roll of this
convention Im.s been called without anj
substantial change in the vote cast. Eighty-
nine times twelve dult > gnu > H from Mont
gomery county , who have known me then
tor the last twenty-six years , have stoo <
by me. Two excellent gentlemen fron
Mills county have Htood by me durliu
those eight-nine tmlloto * and six , eight am
nine Pottuwattnnile county men have stooc
by me untllnchlngly. It Is my deliberate
judgment that tho.se counties which eanx
hero without any candidate of their owi
ought to have ended this contest long ape
It could not b - expected that delegation !
which came with a candidate fiom tht-li
own county , or which were Instructed
would change their votes. This thitif
I hcllcvo Is bankrupting the republican
party of this district , and to make a loni
story short , I desire to say that these gen
tlcmcn who have ciist their votes for mi
arp absolutely , finally and unconditional ! '
ri'Ieasi' < l. I nay thla with Intense Horroi'
which I do not know that I can evei
compensate , but I hope no more votes wll
bo east 111 this convention for Smith JIc
Pherson.
Greatest excitement prevailed at the con
elusion of Mr. Mcl'herson's speech. Dele
gates yelled themselves hoarse. There wai
a certainty that a break would follow t <
some candidate , and the Byers men wen
hopeful. The chairman of the Mont
gomery delegation asked permission to with
draw for a conference. He said the actloi
of Mr. McPherson was a complete surpriB <
to the delegation , as his withdrawal hai
been made without consultalion with th
members of the delegation that was work
Ing for his nomination. The permlssioi
was granted , and the dclegallon wlthdrev
for a few minutes and then returned to th
convention hall ,
CASS COUNTY MAKES A BREAK.
Before the roll cull was proceeded with
however , Cass county took a grand stan
part In the proceedings. J. E. Bruce , th
chairman of the Cass county delegation , sc
cured recognition from the chair nnd afte
thanking the delegates who had stayed b
Major Curtis In the fight , announced tha
Cass county desired to change twelve vote
from Curtis to Hager.
Then came the lire works. Hagcr mci
went wild , cheered , sprang upon chair
and whooped her up lively for several mln
utcs. But Monlgomery county was to hav
the credit after all of breaking the dead
lock. Chairman Conslgncy ruled that Montgomery
gomory county , having been called , th
change asked by Cass county could not b
made until the vole of Montgomery had beci
received. The chairman of the Montgomer
delegation announced that In order to bren :
the deadlock , Montgomery county woul
cast Its twelve votes for Hager. There wa
more cheering and the delegates fell ovc
each other In their efforts to get Into th
band wagon , Pottawattamlo county cas
twenty-six votes for Hagcr , and whc
Shelby county was called , Dyers' name wa
withdrawn and Shelby's ten votes went t
make the nomination unanimous.
A committee was appointed to cscot
Congressman Hagcr to the convention hal
Hu made a brief npccch. and was followc
by other candidates , and the conventlo
adjourned.

The first quarter on an hour of the special
meeting ot the council last evening was
devoted lo reading Iho mlnulcs of previous
meetings , and when the Journal was ap
proved the council took up the report of
the committee ot the whole , refusing to
grant the pctlllon of Leonard Everett for
pel mission to pave with granllo 102 feet In
front of his property on Pearl street.
The ordinance fixing the width of Tenth
avenue from High strccl to the entrance
of Kalrmount park from Third streel was
called up for passage. H reached Its third
reading , but the vote for the suspension
of the rules failed to give the required two-
thirds majority , and Ihe ordinance wenl
over until the regular meeting Monday
night.
L. R Boekhoff was granted n license to
conduct a saloon at H23 Main street.
Leonard Everett filed a protest against
granting Ihe slrcet car company permission
to pave between Its tracks. U was re
ceived and placed on flic.
A petition bearing the names of about
three-fourths of the property owners on
Pearl street , asking that tlio street be
paved with the best Des Molncs repressed
brick for the top and best Council Bluffs
brbk for tlie bottom course , was presented.
A motion , to have It go on file was resisted
by Casper , who made a strong point In
favor of granting the petlllon. for Ihe
reason lhat It provided for the use of house
brick as far as possible. The dlscusleon
brought out the fact that all the aldermen
wcro In favor of the petition , and It was
granted. .
The committee on police nnd health re
ported In favor of renewing the lease on Iho
building now used for a Jail at East Omaha ,
the lease to run for one year , with the
privilege of two. The report was concurred
In.
The tabulation of the bids for paving
Pearl slreet and First and Willow avenues
was submitted by the engineer. 13 , A. Wlrk-
ham presented the samples ot the brick he
proposed to use and upon which the bid was
based. The combination was laid before
Ihe council. 11 calls for Iho best Council
Bluffs vitrified brick for the base and the
best DCS Molncs repressed brick , with
rounded corners and edges for the top
course. H met the approbation of every
member of the council. The tabulated bide
showed that Wlckham's bid , $1.3S' < . per
square yard , was the one most desirable , ami
he was awarded Ihe contract. The question
ot when the work was to bo commenced
was discussed. The matter was finally left
to the engineer , with the understanding that
work should not be commenced before July
1C.
1C.Tho tabulated bids for brick sidewalks
showed thai S. Bolln & Co. were Ihc lowest
bidders. They wore awarded the contract
and will lay twelve-foot walks for 53 ccntt

The question of the quality of sidewalk
brick and what should constitute standard

"A Family Record of Ncy's Execution , '
wrllVen by Mme. Cainpan , Is conlrlbuled U
the July Century by a relative of this lady
George Clinton Genet of Greenbush , N. Y
Mr. Genet , In a preparatory note , says : At
absurd attempt has been made recently t <
prove In a published volume that Ney wai
not shot In 181.1 , but escaped to Amurici
and became a schoolmaster In North Care
Una , where lie lately died. An alleged fac
simile ot his writings of the old FrencI
cavalryman who. it is alleged , when drunl
on a certain occasion , declared himself ti
bo the duke of Elchlngcn. The wrltlni
which It Is claimed Is the genuine writliii
of the marshal seems doubtful when com
pared with that known to be his , and tin
assumed similarity between that and tin
writing of the old French soldier of Nortl
Carolina is inconceivable. It is absurd t <
suppose that Ney should have proclalmei
himself to be the duke of Elchlngcn , slnci
at the time of his execution ho was prlnci
of Moskowa and no longer duke of Elchln
gen.
gen.It is impossible that , as is asserted In th <
book referred to , Ney should have eonsentei
to the subterfuge of being shot at by mus
kets charged with powder alone , and afte
falling and pretending to be dead , sboub
have suffered himself to be carried Inti
exile in a strange land. At the balllo 'o
Wulerloo Ney vainly sought death wherever
over the battle was fiercest. With an arm ;
of 60,000 men still left , he capitulated undo
the walls of Parts , upon condition of genera
amnesty of offenses , both civil and military
These terms were basely violated and to sat
isfy the clamor of the returned aristocrat
of the old regime New was executed. Wei
llngton could have prevented this crlmi
after the condemnation by the chamber o
peers , but did not for reasons best Itnowi
to himself. Ney was offered an opportunll ;
lo escape , but refused. He asked the sol
dlers to lire at his heart , nnd they did.
Moreover , at the time when It Is clalmei
thai Ney was concealing himself In Norll
Carolina , Joseph Bonaparte was living a
Bordentown , and his house and his fortun
would have been at Ncy's disposal. More
over , after the fall of the Bourbons tlier
would have been no reason why Ney shonli
not have relumed to France. In 18S2 Eugen
Noy , his third son , visited the United State
and went to the house of his kinsman Genet
who resided on the Hudson , near Albany
but never heard of this alleged duke o
Elchlngen. It Is useless to follow these all
Btmltllcs furlhcr. Ney Is burled In Pcro 1
Chaise at Paris with two of his sons and hi
brother-in-law , Gamot. A plain slab mark

WILKESBARRB , Pa. , July 1. The sltuo
tlon at the Twin shaft tonight remains ur
changed. The rescuers cro bending ever
energy to their work , but It Is agonizing !
slow. The Inevitable conclusion Is that I
may ho weeks before the bodies are recov
ered , If at all. The drilling which has bee
going on from the CIcarspring colliery t
the foot of the Twill shaft was complete
this afternoon und a large body of gas wa
found. The olllelals have abundonc
the Idea of tunneling , as the men woul
have to travel 2,500 feet to reach the poll
where the victims are thought to have bee
when th.o cave-In occurred and this rout
IB much further than the ono the rescuer
are now working on. Apart from thin I
would bo dangerous and entail a trcmcndou
expense. In regard to the reported tapping
last night General Manager Law said the
had thoroughly Investigated the mallei
and were now convinced that the suppose
tapping was but the moving or crushing c

"I cannot but believe'said ' Mr. Eckels
giving this list"that these men \ylll not cxcr
exert an Influence upon the convention. The ;
are all men who have participated In natlona
affairs and arc all well known democrats
They will appeal to the convention In th <
Interest of the business stabilityof ; the conn
try 'and ' also for tlio reservation of th
party's Integrity. Even th8""Bllvcr leader
must listen. If they arc democrats , when 1
Is pointed out to them that the adoptloi
of n free silver declaration means tin * cer
tain defeat of the party at the polls. It wll
be shown to them , as It can be clcarl ;
shown , that In this event they wjll not enl ;
lose every eastern state , but that they ar
also sure to lose all the southern states
such as Maryland. Delaware. West Vlrglnl
and Kentucky , where the republicans hav
an organization which Is not bound up witl
the populists. They must also listen to ap
peals to reason against the overturning o
democratic precedents , as is proposed to b
done In the matter of the abrogation of th
two-thirds rule. No democrat can regur
such innovations as this and such as th
frequent consultations with the St. Loul
boltero with equanimity , and such proceed
Ings will only encourage the Imlependcn
movement which Is soon to follow them I
they arc coupled with a free coinage rcso
lutlon In the platform. "
"Asked if the gold men would bolt th
convention in case of a posltivo pronounce
ment for free silver , Mr. Bckcls cxpressei
the opinion that there would bo no opei
bolt. "But , " he said , "there would bo a dc
fectlon at the polls , which It would bo im
possible to prevent , If the rank and flic o
the party convention Insists upon overturn
Ing nil democratic precedents. "
The gold loiccs will have their main publl
headquarters at the Palmer house. Mr. liar

opened Friday.
Senator David B. Hill and William C
Whitney are expected here on Friday after
noon , and their coming Is looktM forward t
as the opening of the conflict of the cast
cm gold advocates against the silver met
Mr. Whitney does not evidently believe tha
all Is yet lost , EO far an his movement I
concerned , for In coming here he Ignores th
advice ot Washington HcBSliiR , Chicago'
postmaster , nnd a leading rcpresentativ
hero of the gold standard doctrine of Prcsl
dent Cleveland. Mr. Ilessing wrote t
Mr. Whitney Saturday , telling him n flgh
for gold would be so much wasted cnerg
and that In his opinion the surest way on
of the trouble was to let the silver me
have absolute control , and then , after the
had finished their work , the gold standar
pcoplo could take some action.

"I ft l < - tli Anniversary of HIP Introduc
tion o [ Chloroform.
No event of the century has affected hu-
lanlty so widely nnd so Inllmnlely ns
lint crowning triumph of medical i < elriiee
vhleh Sir Ilenjamln Richardson calls the
'mastery of pain. " The boon of anaesthe-
In , saya the Itoston Herald , extends far
leyond the deinnln of steam engineer
elegrnph , and touches the Individual more
losely than anything In the world , when
ils hour of suffering comes , aa It may
ome to nny of us at any moment. And
n the popular view , anaesthesia means
hloroform , whatever experts may think
of the superior merits ot other substances.
Voplq know that dentists use "gas , " and
ome imiy have heard of ether , or even ot
ilehlorlde of niethylene ; but the household
vord la chloroform. Fifty years of usage
las given It an unassailable position , and
f a new anaesthetic were to displace it
tomorrow the old name would probably
remain. Yet chloroform was not the llrsl
anae'stlii'lle discovered , nor is 11 HO much
used In the present day as Its less famous
iredcccssors. Tlie early history of this
; reat discovery , as of ninny others , Is de-
latablc ground , but certain facts have been
clearly established.
The Hist chemical agent found to pos
sess the properly of producing Insensibility
by Inhalation , and npi-il for that purpose ,
was nitrous oxide , more familiarly known
( IH "laughing" miB , 01 simply "gar. " H Is
mill considered the safest , and Is admin-
stered every day to thousands of patients ,
lot only for dental purposes , but. In ceil-
unction with ether , for general surgery.
To Prlentley belongs the honor of Identify-
UK It chemically , to Hir Humphrey Davy
lint of expounding Its anaesthetic prop-
riles. He found them out by experiment-
US' on himself , aim suggestid their prac-
; leal application In these wordoi "As lit-
roil * oxide. In Its extensive operation , up-
iears capable of de-stroylnt ! physical pain ,
t may probably be used with advantage
luring Hiirclenl operations In which nei
; reat eff union of blooil takes ijlacc. " If
my one deserves to be called the father

ttit'tbc surgeons of the day. whether from
illmlness. timidity or prejudice , appear tu
tiave mlHHed the Hlgnlllcanrc of his an-
louiicetnent altogether , for. though the
words just quoted wen- published In the' '
ve-ar IS'K ) . no practical use of the gas was *
ittempted unlll ISM. and then the Initiative
came from America.
In that year a Connecticut dentist
lamed Horace- Wells submitted himself it

ler the Inlliienep of nitrous oxide. The
lext step was the Introduction of ether ,
Hid the ere-dll of tills also belongs tc
Ameilca. It lies between twei Boston gen-
.lemcn , named Morton and Jackson ; lull
some attempt was made to keep the dis
covery a secret for commercial reasons ,
[ he- only result of wjilch was to bury the
facts In obscurity and to e'eprlve the r < > a :
llseoverer of the honor that more straight-
'orward e'oaduct would have- secured tc
lilm. The secret was Immediately de
lected by Dr. Hlgelow and sent over te
England , where the loading surgeons ol
the day Listen. Lawrence and Fcmuitsor
took It up at once In their hospital practice

scribed in the most graphic manner how
the good news came to Glasgow , where lie

was the excitement In the profession

John Porter , a New Yorlc Central en
gineer , residing at Rochester , has a dog thai
ho Is teaching to sing. Roger , the dog
has. been trained to perform every time c
member of the Porter family opens tin
piano. In showing off the other day IK
kept time to the accompaniment. HI ;
style of singing was by yelping In time le
Hie notes played on the Instrument , Whei
It ran soft and low , bis voice sank almos
to a growl ; when the notes rose In lout
strains Roger pointed his nose to the cell
Ing and sang a wild , lone wall of pathos It
such treble as was never heard. When I
was all over and the last note of the musli
had sounded , be wagged his tail and walkce
around to each one of the company for con
grutuhulons.
It was several months ago that the Per
fers first learned that they had shcltcrci
this musical prodigy , and they and thcl
neighbors have been having Infinite aimiEC
mcnt with him over since. By dint of al
the practice they have given him , Roge
has Improved vastly. He 1ms learned song
and can distinguish from the llrst few note
of the accompaniment what selection i
expected of him , and he sings them wltl
all the feeling lhat a dog could have , am
vastly more than some people seem capa
ble of. There Is only one thing that wll
stop him In the middle of a song , and tha
Is to bo laughed at. If he Is laughed at h
stops short , goes back under the plan
and slarcs contemptuously at the Ill-man
tiered people until they go away and leav
him.
A Itniiiiin Custom.
The praclico of Iho wife assuming th
husband's name at marriage , according t
Dr. Brewer , originated from a Roman cus
torn , and became the common custom utte
the Roman occupation. Thus , Julia an
Octavla , married to Pompey and Cicero , wer
called by the Romans Julia of Pompev
Octavia ot Cicero , and In laler limes mar
rlod women In most European countrlc
signed their names In the same manner , bu
omitted the "of. " Against this view It ma
be mentioned that during the sixteenth , an
oven at the beginning or the seventeen ! :
century , the usage seems doubtful , since w
find Calhcrlne Parr so signing herself aflc
she had been twice married , and wo alway
hear of Lady Jane Grey ( not Dudley ]
Arabella Stuart ( not Seymour ) , etc. Som
persons think that the custom originate
from the scriptural teaching that husban
and wife are one , This was the rule so fa
1-ack as Braston ( died 12C8) , and It was dc
cidcd in the case of Bon against Smith , I
the reign ot Elizabeth , thai a woman b
marriage loses her former name and legall
receives the name of her husband. Altn
gothcr , the custom is Involved In much ol
sciirlty. In Iceland t'io opyosllo Is the rule
There , after marriage , the husband assume
the wife's name.
