I also desire to refer to the nclloit of tha fnittotiH minority in the Joint convention, The np)tortranees Indicated lniyond any doubt that they did not drslro nor In tend to elect a rai-r, and that they organized their forces no as lo prevent a quorum. There were In Joint conven tion on InRt Halurilay afternoon at roll call -15 members, one less than a quorum. After waiting a short time Dr. Cuslrk, w bo liad lieen detained by professional cares, came Into the joint convention and Immediately thereafter fllbson re retired from tho convention. Hon, A. N.

Shortly afterwards Downing walked Into tho hall, and thereupon l'ronscr Immediately vacated tho liall, This action was no marked I brcnoit convinced that the minority did not d. nlro to elect a senator. I therefore mov ed to dissolve tho convention. I made this motion with sorrow and rogret, mid only because I saw that thero was no Intention on tho part of the.fitcjjgu.s min ority to permit an'clectlon, and without their votes, or rather presence, in tho convention wo could not obtain a quorum. JoSFI'll Himon. Three Unsuccessful Attempts to Hang a Man. Lovnos, Feb. 2IL One of tbo most niugular incidents ever connected with an execution or attempted execution for murder bapened to-day at Kxeter, on tho occasion of carrying out the death sentence passed it pott John Iamj, recent ly condemned to bo hanged for tho mur der of Mini F.muia W. Keycs, at Ikibba eomU', near Torquay, November 15th, lasj. Three attempts woro mado to ex ecute I.eo, but each attempt wan futile the drop falling to wurk nuecensfully. Tbo execution was consequently ikwI- pAni'il, The delalln make tho case the most horrible that over disgraced a gib bet in Kngland. At first Loo was per fectly firm and went to tho scaffold un daunted. When tho first attempt to hung him failed tho prisoner's spirit re- niftincd unbroken. Ho win led from under tho gallows mid walked back to the cell with n'Titm step. When first placed iiK)ii the trap be resigned him self completely, but firmly into the hands of the executioners. Honjood motionless during tbo preliminary pro ceedings, and w hen the noose wan placed and tbo spring about to ho touched he mado an apparent eHbrt to ndjfistihfs body lo tbo expected drop bo tluitlraUi1 might bo quick as possible. 'hen the niurdoror was mnde to rcalizo that tho gibbet had not done Its work audho wan not yet banged, ho uptwAred to start as if from nlghtmaro, but quickly recov ered himself. Tho machinery was thon carefully overhauled and tbo woodwork found wet, and nwollon no that tbo trap refused to work. After being oiled and tried until thought to bo all right the prisoner wan again brought forth. Tho name nceno us boforo was then enacted oneo again and the wretched man led away and tho trap a second tlmo ex amined and oiled and for a second time pronounced all right. Ho for a third time look his ntand upon tho trap and a third limo did tbo gibbet refuno to do its work. Tho Htrain and ntiBponso now overtax ed Lee. He sank down into a awoon and had to bo carried away from tbo place. No words can gtvo an adequate idea of the painful nceno. A kind of overpowering dismay, llko that of sup erstition, neoincd to luivo got control of tho uherlfPit olllcern. Tbo gallows be came denerted, and no ono mado any more attompta to put it in working or der. Tho man that was to havo boon banged was limp, motionleBS and in 11 moat pitiable condition, lying l hl prison coll dated and stupefied and phy nlcally uxlaustod.

' J. V. Riley In Indianapolis Journal. CONSUMPTION NICROBES. A Trap for Catching: the Bacilli that Lodge in the Lungs. Philadelphia Press.) A queer-looking apparatus, something like a pair of bellows, to the smaller end of which a foot or tw o of glass tube bad been attacked, lay on a table before the president of the college of physicians at a meeting of that body last evening. The little machine was a microbe trap. Dr. William II. Webb, its owner, liorc it proudly into the room, and, after put ting on an eafrol a couple ol big pictures of it, showing it in sections nnd in en tirety, proceeded to explain to the in terested doctors present how tho thing worked, and how unsuspecting microbes and bacilli could Ikj lured into its inter tor and deprived forever of their danger ous freedom. Ho asserted that tho only thing that a child inherits in tho con sumptive lino, from its parents, is a pre disposition to the disease. Tho latter can never como unless a bacillus or two lodges in tho lungs. Tho little instru ment I have here is a most useful 0110 in proving tbo presence in tho nir of tu bercle bacilli. I spent 35 bourn at tbo ventilators of places of public amuse ment in this city collecting microbes of tuberculosis. Of soven microscopic ex aminations of the results of my search the number of bacilli found wero as fol lows: 1, G, 1.1, 1, 0, uncertain, uncer tain. Tbis made 11 bacilli in all. Tbo microscopic searches wero mado by Drn. Morris Longstrctii and 0. II. Shakespeare." Dr. Shakespearo heart ily supported the views of Dr. Webb. Ho said that ho believed that ono bacil lus only was necessary to causo con sumption where thp conditions wero fa vorable. "1 almost look upon it as criminal carelessness," bo went on, 'to allow a healthy Krson to 6lecp with any ono afflicted with consumption. Tho room occupied by such an individual should bo thoroughly ventilated, and all matlur likely to bo contagions should bo , disinfected." "The trap," he explained, "baa demonstrated tho danger from tbo germs. They seem to bo everywhere. A Real Necessity. We presume thero is hardly a lady to bo found In pur broad land who, if sho does not already possess a sew ing ma chine, expects somo day to become tho ow nor of ono. But aftor tbo mind has been fully mado up to purchase ono of these indis pensable articles, tbo question arises as to what kind of a machine to buy. It should bo so simply constructed that tbo most inexperienced can suc cessfully oporato it. The other points mainly to bo considered, and which aro tho most dcsirablo, aro durability, rap idity, capacity for work, ease of opera tion, regularity of motion, uniformity of tension, nnd silenco while in operation. Tho "Ltght-IlunningKow Homo" fills the ubovo requirements, and is said lo combine tbo good points of all sewing machines, with tbo audition ol many now improvements and labor-saving de vices.

A great tnnfiy yearn ago a hurricane occurred In Ulicri, N. Y. Jnnt an It be gan it wan noticed that a heavy nwing nlgn in tho front of n store was held out in a horizontal position for nomc time. Uefote long tlic force of tho wind in creased to such a degrco that several houses on Goiicbco Street hill wero un roofod, and lho nplro of tbo Second Pres byterian church wan thrown to tbo ground. After tbo storm was over it was dis covered that tbo roil noldlng tbo wcath-cr-vnno on the top of tbo tall ntceplo of the Firfit Presbyterian church wart bent so that it became nearly horizontal. It w.ih unsightly; but how to repair the injury wan tho question. It would be no cany task, as there was a large ball, or globe, on tho rod below tho vane. After awhile a sailor offered bis services. Ho ascended tho steeple, and climbed tho rod until ho enmo just beneath tho globe. Then ho threw a rojto out a good many times, until, nftcr awhile, the end looped aronnd over tho rod above tho globe, long enough to reach to him. Twisting the rope together, ho let go of the iron rod, nnd trusting himself to the rope, swung out freo. liy climbing it lie now managed to get on the top of the globe. Standing there, be succeeded in straightening the rod that held the weather-vane. Now, how was ho to got down? Again trusting to the rope that was fastened to the rod above tho globe, he swung free at a great "bight from the earth ; then lowering himself, and swinging back and forth, he managed to grasp tbo rod beneath the globe, andj coon reach ing tbo spire, descended. The steeple of Salisbury cathedral is the highest in Kngland, and next to that of Strasbourg cathedral, tbo highest in Europe. Eyery year a man climbs to the top to grease tho weather-vane. This is done by ascending the inside as far as possible, and then going out of a manhole and climbing the rest of tho way by means of the brass staples fas tened on the outer wall. Once on a festal occasion, when the king was present, a reward was offered, as usual, to any person who would as cend and attend to tho weather-vane. A sailor agreed to do it, and ascended in the way I have told you, until be came to tho copestono, when, to show what he could do, ho stood on his head. Then performing the task ho was sent to do, that of greasing tho vane, be descended and claimed bis reward. Uut the king was no exasperated at the Bailor for need lessly frightening the people by standing on lus bead nt such a great bight Unit be would not allow him to bo paid. Gen. Clias. E. Gordon, lately killed at Khartoum, obtained his sobriquet of "Chinese" Gordon from bis campaign m China in command of tho imperialist troops. Ho entered tho British army aB lieutenant in the lloynl cnginerrs in 1853, and first saw active service in tho trenches before Sebastopol, w here be was threo times severely wounded. Ho afterward served on the boundary com mission in Armenia for two years, und later accompanied tbo British expedi tion to China, in 1859-GO. Gen. Ward, an American, from Salem, Mass., had been successful in his command of the imperialist troops, but on bis death tho Chinese government applied to tho Brit ish commander for tho loan of nn offi cer's services, and Major Gordon was chosen. Ho reorganized, drilled and disciplined tho Chinese army in such a manner that, in tho campaign which followed, bo defeated tbo rebels nt overy point, with scarcely a repulse, capturing 20 fortified forts and cities, and fighting as many pitched battles. He was after ward appointed by tho khedivo of Egypt governor of tbo Soudan, and in that capacity mado a determined fight against tho slavo trado, dealing such ef fectual blows at thoso In high places as to offend all tho officials. Whon the late trouble aroso Gordon's previous re cord in tbo Soudan was counted as of great worth, and his offer to go alone and try to pacificato tbo provinco was readily accepted, resulting in tho costly expedition for his relief. During his poriwl of reposo from activo Bcrvico tbo general distinguished himself by bard service- In thp causo of charity. Through his efforts, hundreds of poor London street arabs havo been trained to a lifo of usefulness.
