When about three miles from Westmore land's bouse, the strangers, being in advance of the party, were tired upon by the six men and in stantly killed. The bodice were weighted with heavy stones and thrown into the river.

The tug Mendel 1 has been en gaged for the past week in making soundings at the mouth of the Co lumbia at low tide. There have been some very long runs out, and the lowest water found when the tide was out below zero, was near- Ij twenty-four feet. John Kisling, who lives nine miles east of Salem, while endea voring to catch a horse in his pas ture, was kicked by the horse in the lower part of the abdomen, from the etiects ot which he died.

The second day of the republican convention opened with prayer, after, which the report of the committee on credentials was presented and ad o;ted.

Nominations was then decided in order, and ex-Governor Foraker arose to present the name of Win. McKinley for governor. When he appeared the delegates fairly went wild with enthusiasm. He said: (entlemen of the convention : 1 have now the most pleasing duty to perform. This contest upon which we are about to enter is to lie in some respects of au unusual character. Not only is the gov ernorship of Ohio at stake, but the contest involves more than t'le governorship, more than the gen eral assembly, more than tne pub lic institutions. It reaches into national politics. He then enum erated reasons tor the course to be pursued, giving complimentary mention of General Harrison, James G. Blain, Senator Sherman, Charles Foster, and adding: Ohio is the lookout mountain of political battles upon which nearc entering, and William McKinley, jr., is the Joe Hookerof the repub lican party, and we are the boys who intend to follow him up its steep and rugged mountain sides, and help him plant tlie flag of re publicanism in triumph there, and next year, inspired by this glori ous achievement, all the columns from Maine to Oregon will be turned against the enemy ; and as to them it wi'l be Bragg in 1S(:. I Their lines will be broken, and before the resistless onslaught they will be swept back, into the depths of defeat and despair. 1 move, Mr. Chairman, the rules of this convention be suspended, and that by acclamation we nominate a our candidate for governor that brilliant statesman, soldier and orator, William McKinley. Colonel Robert Harlan, the col ored orator of Cincinnati, second ed McKinley's nomination "on be half of the colored voters of Ohio." With wild cheers of affirmation the convention declared ' Major McKinley nominated for governor, and a committee was appointe t to apprise him of his nomination and escort him to the hall His ap pearance was tbesignal for another outburst of enthusiasm. Major McKinley responded with a letgthy speech accepting tbe nomination. A platform was adoptt d and Andrew L. Harris was nominated lieu tenant-governor. LOVE NOT GERMAN' V.

He had his magn cent library there, and w hen a few years ago he announced that lie liad determined to remove to Washington, many were the con jectures as to the cause of the move, and many were the causes assigned. Only a few days ago bt fore his death the matter was cleared up. In a conversation with a o-Piitli.mnn from this citV the general was asked why he had left thiii citv for Washington, and his reply was because "the Alexan dria eop!e whistle too much."
