Some of the less godly delegates feel like
reading some of David's imprecatory
psalms Against the weather. It is dis
couraging to visitors and worse on the
farmers. But prophets say it is the
"clearing up shower" today. : Previous
to the presence of so many pious people
in Omaha, a murderer was sentenced by
the United States court to be hanged
here; today, .but President -Harrison
granted a respite of thirty days at the
request of citizens who are not willing
to have hanging, bee-during the session
of the general "conference. It is safe to
say that such . a thing" never ' happened
before aad no murderer has lived thirty
days loDger because- of, a religious as
sembly. And the saloons are being
closed on Sunday and at night as they
have never before for a long time, if
ever. Whether this is to give Omaha
a better name or to keep the delegates
from temptation. Is not ieported. Any
how, the effects -of this general confer
ence are quite visible. . Apart from its
mischievous work in connection with
the floods and the crops the weather' of
the last three weeks has been remarka
ble in "many waye. . The public is pre
pared to stand a reasonable number of
spring showers and is even willing to
spend its outdoor life in mackintoshes
and overshoes one day out of four. In
the present spring, however, the rain
has fallen on all four days and has even
thrown in a few extra showers on the
fifth in order s-to.' give good .pleasure.
This presistent dripping -on the public's
head is not conducive to : health, how
ever, and if the weather iwill clear up
now the exceedingly unsatisfactory
character of the May days thus delivered
will be overlooked. . The really remark
able nature of the season is the'more ap
parent that the sun seems to have- con
tributed to it neither light iioi" heat.
Owing -to this delinquency, the days
have been not only., wet, but dark, raw,
chilly, depressing and autumnal. The
satisfactory proBpect that it must soon
stop raining because all the clouds will
be wrung dry will be greeted with" joy
by the multitudes who are awaiting a
chance to go out of doors without
getting drenched for their audacity, w .

Philadelphia, May 27. Spencer Bar

ried over the falls of Wallkill creek, 45
feet high yesterday. : He was boat riding
above the falls and lost control of the
canoe, which drifted hopelessly toward
the falls. Just as the boat reached the
brink he gave a jump over the falls,
clearing the? rocks "below and- Btriking
deep-water, t Those who witnessed the
scene were horrfjSed, expecting never to
see him alive again. .After going under

says: "The levee guardsshot and

. Cleveland Will Withdraw.
. Washington, May 27. It will be a
blessed thing when the conventions are
over, and people can get a rest from the
daily mess of political twaddle which
now tills the newspapers of the land
from Maine to Mexico, to the exclusion
of better reading. Between Blaine and
Harrison on one side, and Cleveland and
Hill on the other side, there is no limit
to the prevarication' and the perversions
of interview. To such extent has this
proceeding gone, sensible men of both
leading political parties avoid . the , bore
if possible, but the persistent interviewer
follows the man, even to the quiet of his
bed chamber, in the hope of securing
materials with which to satiate the mor
bid craving for this species of news.
The latest pretended interviews are with
Congressman Hiscock, who is made to
say : "Blaine will accept if nominated,
and I an) sure he will be nominated.
He will write no 'more letters of declina
tion. While not quite as well as I ex
pected to find him, he is improving
daily. I am satisfied he will be strong
enough to undergo a presidential cam
paign." The next is what Senator Stan
ford is supposed to say: That "Mr.
Blaine told me two months ago that his
health would not bear the strain of a
campaign." Matt Quay couldn't get
through Pittsburg yeBterday until he
replied to the auger: "Sentiment is
strong for Jas. ii. Blaine ; he is the talk
of the hour ; all over the country every
thing indicates that he will be nomi
nated without any trouble. Not by
stampeding the convention; but by force
of genel-al sentiment." On ' the other
side the work ia equally as brisk. The
democrats have .divided into three
classes, according to the Post : "Those
who do not know when to speak, those
who do not know when to be silent and
Mr.1 Henry Watterson, who does - not
know either of these moments." The
public has been requested by- Mr. Henry
Watterson to believe that Grover Cleve
land, who has a fat roll of indorsements
from : various state conventions, will
withdraw from the contest.
- Vanderbllta' Condition. ' ,
' New York, May 26. It is feared that
Cornelius Vanderbilts' mind may be
come unbalanced because of his grief
for the death of his son, William H.
He ia watched constantly, and at night
some one sits up in his bedroom. The
distracted father is utterly prostrated,
and though his real condition has not
been made known to the public, the in
formation comes to the press through
an unquestionable source that his mind
has been seriously affected-by the shock
of bereavement. Chauncey M. Depew
has been almost constantly at the Van
derbilt mansion since the young heir's
death, and has been much in the com
pany of the stricken father,' in giving in
formation to the press he' has little to
say concerning Mr. Vanderbilt's feelings.
Dr. James McLane, the family physician,
when asked about the reported mental
derangement of Vanderbilt, said Mr.
Vanderbilt is much prostrated and is a
great sufferer, but it is not true that ' he
has become deranged. He slept soundly
last night from exhaustion, and there
was no watcher in his room.
Ohio Waterspout.
NLE8," May 27. A waterspout burst
over Kinsman, a small village twelve
miles north of this city on the Pymatun
ing river yesterday. The water fell in
torrents from four o'clock till a few min
utes after six, and the small river over
flowed its banks. ' Damages. would have
been comparatively trifling bad not a
dam about two miles above the village
broke : without warning, drowning six
persons and destroying buildings, stock
and crops. ,

Chicago, May 27. The closing of the
tanneries for sixty days because of an
overproduction of leather recalls a pre
vious effort of this kind and illustrates
the method. Several years ago there
was a meeting in Chicago which was at
tended by representative tanners fronr
all over the United States. Prices were
way down, and the tanners pledged them
selves to do almost anything and everv-.
j thing to strengthen the leather market,
j The meeting no sooner adjourned thaw
j the tanners made their escape by everv
! exit and bought up every hide in sight.
Ihey were afraid of one another. The
effect of this was that the price of hides
advanced 4 cents while the tanners were
in the city.- During the time they were
in session some of the big packers
opened a hall and entertained the tan
ners. Nothing was too good for them
and the packers came out of the big end
of the horn., But that there is cause for '
complaint this year there is very little
doubt. The hide and leather market
has never been' in such a demoralized1. '
condition as at the present time. Not
only are prices 'way down, buc there is
practically no demand for the articles,,. -'
and the market is full in every depart '
inent. ' There is no combination nor as
sociation among the dealers, and it is
said there will probably never be one,
for the reason that competition is. close
and the interests are so numerous- that
they could not be kept from clashing
The tanners are divided into four classes.
They are the sole-leather manufacturers,,
uppers, belting and fancy leathers
The depression is in sole leather. There
is one firm in' Philadelphia- manufactur
ing belting which consumes in one tan- .
nery a carload of hide 8 every day. New '
England and the South are also large
producers. The majority ot hides which
are used in 'the manufacture of sole .
leather are of South American growth
The native-grown hides which are usecB. ...
for that purpose are only from rangers-'
and branded cattle. " No South Ameri
can hides are being bought in the mar',
kets now, and native-grown is so low
that they will - hardly bear transports- -tion.
The weather for the past few "sea
sons has had a tendency to depress '
trade. At first thought that statement -will
probably appear absurd, but a lit'
tie" reflection will show its soundness;
During mild weather people will wear
old shoes. They are easy on the' feet-'
If it rains and is not too' cold those same
shoes will be worn incased in rubbers. .
But during' dry cold weather people '
must wear good shoes. They must have '
good soles on them, and consequently
new ones must be bought frequently. -'
We have had no really cold weather for
several 'seasons, and as a consequence
people are wearing their old shoes. The
effect of this has been to cause a falling
off in the number of shoes manufactured
and a corresponding decrease in the de
mand for leather with which to manu
facture them..,' : -
Liberated too Xate.
St. Pbtkksbchg, May 27. Buyers can
not be found for Russian oats liberated
by the withdrawal of the prohibition on
exports. Foreign buyers appear to have
supplied their wants in other markets.
