Kelly on favorable terms, just above the Scandinavian Packing Co.'s premises, giving 300 feet water front, on which he proposes to have a ship yard, ways, eta, and will im mediately begin work. The business of building vessels etc., can be well done at that' point, and the fact that Capt. Mortensen has leased the prop ertv for ton years shows that it is in tenned to be a permanent institution.

James Caroll of the steamer Ancon, T. Downing, late purser of the steamship Idaho, and another gentleman whose name cannot be learuedt If these gentle men had equal shares each will re ceivo 500,000. PEUSONAl. MENTION'. Col. J. K. Kelly is in tho city. E. A. Noyes returned from Port land last Sunday. Hugh McCormack returned yes terday from tho Sound. Admiral Upshur U. S. N.. is in the city, visiting his son, C. P. Upshur. T. G. Rawlings, of Fort Stevens, was last Saturday granted a pension as a veteran of tho Mexican War. "A Soap Hubble." People with an apoplectic tendency or peoplegiven to compulsions, would bo wise in keeping away from the Third Avenue theater this week. Mr. T. J. Farron's "three-act comedy,'' as tho bill of tho play uublnshiugly annonnces it, is no comedy at all. It is a roaring farce, sprinkled with clever hits and imitations. Tho second act, which i-j devoted to the mysteries and methods of a barber's shop, would make Bartholdi's statute of liberty laugh, could s!m only be called down to see it. Mr. Farron, who is credited with the "Soap Bub ble," is full of fun and mischief, and has gathered around him a very con genial company. Their Irish brogue is atrocious, and their "Henglish Haccent" worse. But they are full of fun, spirit and go, and everything is forgotten and forgiven in that Mr. Connelly is a true comedian and must have made a profound study of the art known as "tonsorial." There was a good audience in tho pretty little theater, and tho "Soap Bubble" will easily float itself to pleased eyes there dnring tho week. N. Y. Daily Graphic. Excursion. The steamer S. G.

For two years he read law in Cincin nati, and in 1854 went to Indianap olis, which has ever since been his place of residence. He soon acquired a reputation for his ability in law matters. In 18G0 he was elected re porter of tho supremo court of In diana. At tho outbreak of tho late civil war he enlisted in tho federal service, and was soon after com missioned second-lieutenant Ho was one of the 75,000 men who re sponded to president Lincoln's first call for troops. After the expiration of the term of his enlistment he or ganized a company of volunteers, and was made colonel of the seven tieth Indiana Volunteers. He was commissioned brigadier-general, and was mustered out in 1865. In 1876 he ran for governor of Indiana on the Republican ticket, and was de feated. In 1879 he was appointed to the Mississippi river commission. In 1881 he was chosen for Indiana to succeed J. McDonald (Democrat) in the United States senate. In 1884 his name was 'most prominently men tioned as tho possible choico of the Republican national convention, and had a break occured in Blaine's forces ho probably would have been elected. In 1887 he was defeated in the Indiana legislature for re-election to the senate of the United States. 1:11 r. si. Conger of Ohio, says the nominee for vice-president will be Levi P.

Mooro has withdrawn; Morton will probably be nominated on this ballot Morton is nominated. LEVI P. MORTON. L. P. Morton is tho son of a clergy man and-the descendant of a New England Puritan family, and was born in Shoreham, Vermont, about sixty-five years ago. Ho was educated in the local academy, engaged in bus iness in Hanover, New Hampshire, at tho age of-20 years, and at 25 was a clerk in tho house of F. M. Beebo & Co., of Boston, live years later he founded tho dry goods commmission house of. Morton nnd Grinnell in New York city. In 1S63 ho established the banking houso of Morton .t Bliss, of which he is still the head. His busi ness career has been uniformly pros perous, and ho is to-day regarded n. millionaire. Mr. Morton's active in terest in politics began m 1876. when he was for tho first time a candidate for congress, and narrowly missed success. Two years later he ran again in the Murray Hill district of New York city, and w.is elected. As a representative he displayed high capacity and intelligence, tho inter ests of the metropolis and sound principles of finance finding in him a zealous and efficient champion. In 1880, Mr. Morton was talked of for the second place on the presidential ticket, which was, however, given to Gen. Arthur. President Garfield appointed him United States minister to France. Two years ago ho was a candidate for tho senate, but was unsuccessful. 830 p. si. There is great excite ment over the attempt of Boutelle, of Maine, to present a temper ance resolution. Boutello's resolu tion pledges the sympathy of the Re publican party to all wise and well directed effort to promote temper ance and morality. Boutelle's reso lution wa3 adopted by almost a unanimous voto. Tho convention then adjourned. MADE UNANIMOUS. Some Eemarks Prom Governor loraker. The Presidential Nominee an Ohio Man. (SPECIAL to THU ASTOEIAX.) CniOAOo, June 25. Tho nomination of Ben Harrison was received with a burst of applanse. and tho great audi enco arose to its feet and shouted until it tired itself ont. Ono officer of tho convention climbed on tho chairman's desk and waved a banner bearing a portrait of Harrison. Hats wero thrown up and a sccuo of en thusiasm followed. Cries of "He's all right.'' wero heard in tho din. Finally, with threokcheers for Harri son, tho convention becamo quiet enough to hear tho official announce ment of tho result. Governor Foraker then took tho platform, and amid enthusiastic cheers, said: "Gentlemen of tho conventien: tlitf" delegation from Ohio came hero all Sherman men; they are now nil Harrison men. It is easier for us to bo so when we re-, member general Harrison had tin good sense to be born in Ohio" (ap plause). "I am directed by tho iniaii-1 imous voto of tho Ohio doiecalion to ' move tho convention on behalf of thestato of Ohio 'that tho uomiuation of Benjamin Harrison for president of the United States bo made unani mous" (applause). i liorr, of Michigan, general lias- tings on behalf of Pennsylvania, and senator Farwell on behalf of Allison of Iowa, seconded tho nomination. Denew was called for and said that this convention would adjourn in a different temper from that of any other convention in a quarter of a centnry. No candidate before tho convention expected to succeed and no ono was disappointed. DANGEEOTJSHBEIN EEW Y0KK. (srECiu. to me ASTonii:;.) New Yoek, Juno 2o.
