By. Telegraph to the New and Observer. :
Baxtihokx, July 4 The National
Convention of the L9agae of Ieuio
eratic Clubs met today in the Academy
of; Music. It was 1 '2 45 p. m. before
Charles Ogden, of Nebraska, who 'iJ
been selected to nominate a temper
ary chairman, advanced to the front
of the platform and called the meet
ing to order. After silence ha 1 been
obtained Rev. J. T. Wightman, D.D.,
of ? Baltimore,; formerly of South
Carolina, offered prayer. Mr. Ogden
then delivered the following address:
Cfcntletoen of (Ms Convention:
: On this memorable day, crystalized
into immortality by the genius of
Jefferson, we have now to perpetuate
the grand principles which he so pa
triotically advocated and which have
been the cardinal bulwarks of the
Democratic party ! No day appeals
mdre strongly to our emotions and
our love of our country than the one
which first saw the light of the
Declaration of Independence. It
was, therefore, most appropriate that,
believers in the doctrines of that
great and wise statesman should have
been chosen on the occasion for its
cdhventian which first shed the light
of? human : liberty and pro
claimed: to ; the : world the in
alienable prerogative of individual
citizenship. These doctrines are
everlasting and indestructible. Time
may momentarily bast a dark cloud
over them, revolution may shake and
mar them, but wherever man shall
live and love liberty he will always be
willing to lay down his life and sacri
fice his blood in their defense and for
their perpetuation. The Democratic
party cherishes the' memory of its
founder, it loves and reveres his name
and by its organization it intends to
bear "aloft the shield" of the princi
ples Of human rights so closely inter
woven with bis life aa to make all as
saults on them fall helplessly at its
feet.; You have assembled to perfect
' aid bring into, vigilant action the great
mass of our citizens who believe as
Jefferson taught that great principles
like liberty can only live in the hearts
and minds of individuals by constant
ligilance. We now come together
and by consultation and interchange
of thought seek a plan which will aid
those who desire to Join with us in
disseminating the principles which we
advocate. I hope that your delibera
tions will be marked with order and
with that liberty of conduct which
we ask for. Ourselves, And when our
convention is over, we shall have an
organization which will be impregna
ble against the assaults of the enemy
and will conduce; to a glorious and
triumphant election of Cleveland and
Thurman. It remains for vou-to cut
forth the 'system whereby that
vigilance may be rendered perpetual.
The formation of local societies, rep
resenting the! sentiments and best po
litical faith of indivinais tnrougnout
the land can' accomplish this object
I The delivery of Mr. Ogden's speech
was frequently interrupted by ap
plause.. - ;
Ferdinand: C Latrobe, Mayor of
Baltimore, delivered an address of
Welcome. - !
Mr.. Ogden nominated the follow
ing as temporary officers of the con
vention: i
I Chairman,! Hon. Wm. K. Russell,
of Massachusetts; Secretary, D. 1
Carralho of New York;; Assistant
Secretaries, Wm. H. Massep, J. V. L.
Proyn, Samuel F. Ball, Edward H.
Smith, Thos. E. 1 Wing, Jr.; Reading
Clerks, Morrill F. Packard, John M.
Tra'vers, John Kelly, 'of Baltimore;
Stenographer, James F. Burke, of
Pittsburg,' Pa) Sergeant-at-Arms,
Jairies Flannery, of Maryland. They
Were elected by acclamation.
Mr. Russell was repeatedly inter
rupted with applause, and at periods
of his speech where the names of
Cleveland and Thurman were men
tioned the cheering was so deafening
that it was several minutes before he
could proceed with his remarks. It
was moved 'that a committee of one
from each State! and Territory be se
lected by the delegation thereof to be
appointed to act as a committee on
credentials.; Adopted.

I Pasis, July j 4 The mption ex
pressing confidence in this Govern
ment, which was adopted by the
Chamber of Deputies, yesterday, was
carried by a vote of 270 to. 157, and
not 326 to 172 as reported. The
newspapers here agree that the vote
has fortified the cabinet s position
until the Chambers reassemble in
October. Several of the papers re
gard the vote as a fatal blow to the
apportunists- In the future they say
the struggle will be confined to the
Radicals and Conservatives.

Philadelphia, Pa , July 4- Indepen
dence Day was celebrated today in an
extravagant manner under the direc
tion of a citizens committee, which:
raised, by popular subscription, $15,-
I'UU for that purpose. The weather
was charming, (with enough of a
breeze to make it thoroughly "enjoya
ble. At midnight the bell in the
tower of historic Independence Hall
was struck 112 times and was listened
to by a large crowd of people who had
patiently waited for its sound. From
that time on until daylight people be-
L " 1 L - '1 J 1 .
gou iiu arrive in me city, sou uj sub-
rise the streets presented a beautiful
scene. Everybody was in holiday
garb, and the sound of bugles, fifes
and drums created an enthusiasm that
could? or ly exist on the national birth
day.
At sunrise the Keystone Battery
fired a single salute, and shortly after
a trombone band stationed in the1
tower of Independence Hall in the
the shadow of that beloved relic of
revolutionary times, the liberty bell,
sent forth patriotic music. In and
around the old halls of Congress and
and the seat of government a century
ago guards in Continental uniform
patrolled with dignified step and
stately air, and lent additional beauty
to the scene. At 9 o'clock the Firs);
Brigade of Pennsylvania Militia pa
raded the principal streets and were
reviewed at Independence Hall by
Alaior-tieneral Uartranft and staff.
Another feature of the morning
programme wbb a parade of nve hun.
dred and fifty-two letter carriers of
the Philadelphia postoface. Starting
from the postoffice they marched to
Independence Square, where they
were presented by John Wanamaker,
representing the leading merchants
of Philadelphia, with one of the hand
somest stands of colors ever seen in
this city, consisting of Federal, State
and municipal flags, all woven of the
tin est silk, l o Mr. Wanamaker s pre
sentation speech, which was loudly
applauded, Postmaster Harrity made
a pleasant reply, which was highly
appreciated by the multitude of listen
ers. The regular exercises in the
Square consisted of reading the Dec
laration of independence, by District
Attorney Geo; S. Graham, patriotic
music by a large band, and a charac
teristic 4th of July oration, by Jos.
B. Hawley, of Connecticut; at the
conclusion of which the bell in the
State House steeple was again rung
112 times.
A Varied Hatrtnaewlal t'areer.
Cbtcaoo, July 4. The mystery sur-
roundingthe alleged bigamist, James
Wellington Aldrich Brown has been
practically cleared up. He is charged
with having twenty-three wives. He
today announced' his willingness to
leave his cell at the Armory and ac
company an officer to Detroit without
!1 it . , - .
waiting tor me iormaiuy oi a requisi
tions His decision was brought about
by a visit from alleged wife 21,whose
name is alary Uurneil, and whose
conversation convinced Mr. Brown
that no prosecution in Detroit would
be more vigorous than in Chicago
"Tea." he stud to a reDorter. "I will
go back to Detroit and stand my trial
there. There is nothing against me.
1 know nothing of naif tbe women
they talk of, and whatever my rela
tions with the other half may have
been, can truly say that they will not
be recognized by the law. Still I have
enemies there. One man will proba
bly shoot : me , on sight They
can't protect me from him.. But if I
escape him I will stand my trial..
Should I be acquitted, well and good.
Should I be convicted, they can never
make me work in the penitentiary. I
will alwayB have a last recourse, and
yon may be sure I will avail myself
of it." '
"You will not commit suicide ?"
"Yes, sir, I will. I would rather
die a hundred times than be sent to
prison for no crime."
The first known of Brown's alleged
bigamous tendencies wss in 1885,
when he, already possessed of at least
one living wife, it is charged, married
Miss Ida Kelly, a pretty young wo
man living on Jefferson Avenue, De
troit. This was in the fall of the
year, and a few months later he, it is
said, deserted her and went to alus
kegon, Michigan, where he was mar
ried in January, 1886, to a lady of
that town whose name cannot be
ascertained. Miss Kelly followed
him and caused his arrest, when,
according to the story published
here, he was Bent from the court t
Saginaw to the penitentiary at Jack
son, where he served nine months,
and during his term of imprisonment
made an unsuccessful attempt to end
his life by cutting his throat with a
razor. He inflicted a bad gash but
was finally cured, though he still
ears the scar. It was early in No
vember, 1886, when he was released
from the penitentiary and all trace
of him was lost till January 15, 1887,
when he made his appearance in l'on
tiac, Michigan, and five days later, it
is said, married Miss Annie M. Hazel,
of that town. From there he tied to
Detroit, closely followed by Miss
Hazel's friends, including a brother,
who is the man who threatened to
shoot Brown on sight, and the fear of
whom mado the prisoner unwilling to
go back to Michigan.
' The Q lata-Eater.
The world-renowned glass-eater of
the dime museums, whose stomach
has given out under the strain, may
be cured by his physicians, since, as
be says, : what he eats is not broken
glass, but a substance compounded
to imitate it so closely as to deceive
the ordinary ' senses of sight ; and
touch. But what can be done to re

No business is done at the shipping
office of Fuller's Patterson Express
on Sunday, but Monday morning por
ters get to work at 1 o clock prepar
ing for the departure of the Old Do
minion steamers. Yesterday morn
ing George Reidy and a gang report
ed for work, but before they shifted
the first package Reidy saw that dirt
had sifted between the heavy plat
form over the gratings and the stone
steps. He decided that when day
light came he would have the refuse
removed. A little while after 8 o'clock
Reidy found a child's buttonless shoe
at the west end of the platform. He
stooped to pick it up and saw some
thing dark beneath the heavy plank
ing, completely stopping the space,
wnose dimensions were not more tnan
12 by 7 inches. "Here, bovs." he
cried, "we've got to clear the platform
now; there s a bundle underneath it.
The men chopped away the fasten-
mgs and raised the mass of heavy
boards. To their surprise they found
the bundle to be nothing else than a
little girl, not more than 12 years old,
poorly but cleanly dressed and un
conscious. She lay face downward.
her left cheek resting upon her hand.
One shoe was upon one of her feet,
the other shoe Reidy had found. The
strong men raised her as quickly and
gently as they could and bore her
within the office. Liquor was pro
cured and forced between her teeth,
but with no effect. , She still lay quite
unconscious. At last a patrolman of
tbe Leonard street station was called
and the child was removed to the
Chambers Street Hospital. Dr. Har
ris, who received the patient, declared
sue was Buffering from hysteria-epilepsy
and that it would be several
hours before she recovered. The men
who found her declare that her rescue
was the merest freak of chance. The
platform had not been cleared of its
rubbish for nearly a year, and Reidy'g
suggestion that the dirt be removed
was entirely unpremeditated. It was
a mystery how the little one' succeed
ed in Wedging her body within the
exceedingly small space. In order to
have got so far within the aperture
she must have lain upon her stomach
and, clutching the transverse grat
ings, drawn herself by main strength
within the hole. Then, seized by the
hysteria because she was unable to
extract herself, she remained uncon
scious until found.
It was not until shortly after 4
o'clock that the child regained con
sciousness. ' Then she was given a
warm bath, filled with nutritious food,
given a brand new pair of shoes and
stockings by one of the nurses, and a
pretty little jacket of ecru cloth by
another. After all this dressing and
attention the little one showed how
good looking she was. She had great
blue eyes, brown hair, with golden
shades in it, which had been carefully
cut across the forehead, forming a
straight bang, a straight and well
formed nose, and full lips. The first
words she uttered startled her - hear
ers. She said she was German, had
only been here about three weeks,
and had been sleeping in the streets
all that time. The surprise was oc
casioned by the excellent English in
which she said it. There was only a
very slight trace of an accent. Then
she continued her story, which the
authorities believe to be absolutely
false. She said she came from Dres
den, Germany, where she lived in
Kirch StraBse with her grandmother.
Her name, she declared, is Mamie
Groen. When she was 6 years old
her mother died. Her father mar
ried again, and two years later hor
stepmother and her father died
shortly after each other. ,
Last spring, she continued, an
uncle named Gustave Lehmann, who
has a farm and six children in Kan
sas, eame to Dresden, took a fancy to
her, and with her grandmother's con
sent brought her to this country.
They landed at Castle Garden three
weeks ago last Friday. After remain
ing in the Garden a day her uncle
took: her out, and at nightfa'l sent
her into a bake-shop to buy some
bread. When she returned to find
him he was gone. Since then, the
child said, she has lived in the
streets. Boxes along the piers have
been her favorite resort. For food
she begged pennies from ladies and
spent them for cake. She lost her
hat on Sunday in the wind-storm,
and that night she was thoroughly
exhausted. She declared she did not
know how she got into the place
where she was found. In fact, she
professed to remember nothing that
occurred after she lost her hat.
Later in the afternoon she was
taken to Castle Garden. When Su
perintendent Jackson was asked
whether she would be returned to
Dresden, as she desired, he replied i
"Not much. Her mother will pr a
bly be down here tomorrow and i ke
her home with her."

Home talent and enterprise should
be recognised and encouraged. Seek
out and bring to light, and cheer
those who are introducing new means
and methods for home improvement
and independence. A new move in
the right direction has had a begin
ning in our town and deserves public
mention?
Misses Kate Cheshire and Lossie
McNair have opened a studio for the
purpose of teaching China and other
fine painting and decorating which
heretofore has been done North.
Yesterday your correspondent was
shown through the beautiful little
gallery where specimens of their
wort were on exhibition. As
this scribe knows little about such
things, it will be impossible to give
an adequate conception or description
of what he saw. Suffice it to say
that the tinting, painting and decora
ting, in fact all the work, is of a very
high order. Heretofore fine china
painting and burning .has been very
costly, and done only by a few per
sons in Northern cities. These
young ladies have purchased a kiln
for burning the Chin-, etc, after it is
painted. The article im first tinted,
painted or decorated according to
order or desire, and then placed in
the kiln and heated to a white heat
In this way the decorations are
burned into the China and become
permanent- in fact a part of the ar
ticle itself. These enterprising young
ladies propose not only to teach the art
but to take orders for painting. An
after-dinner coffee set, tile, odd cupa
and saucers, dishes, cake plates, &o.,
which had been painted, gilded and
burned were on txhibiuoa and de
serve special mention.
Painting in oil, water and mineral
colors will also' be taught. Among
specimens in this department special
mention should be made of the
"Witch's Daughter," !a copy of
Church's great painting, by Miss
Cheshire, A German Moonlight Scene
and Sibyl, by Miss McNair . Time
and space and other . essentials fail
in attempting to give a description of
the splendid enterprise and com
mendable zeal of these aoomplished
ladies. They open their school today
with a goodly number of pupils.
Among! the crowd of visitors I
notice Mrs. Dr. J. H. Baker, Mrs.
Nash, Miss Lizzie Battle, Miss Bia
Clark, Miss Lizzie Porter, Judge H.
C. Bourne and others.

NoKTHJirLD, Mass., July ,
In response to Mr. Moody's intk .
tation to spend two weeks with hint
m Itible study and systematic reere
tion, at his home away up here in '
Massachusetts, about 400 college
students from the loading colleges
and universities of the United States,
England and Scotland are already
assembled. The invitation was ex
tended through the Internation Com
mittee of the Young Men's Christian
Association to members of College
Associations and to all Bible students
throughout the world. More than
six hundred are expected to attend.
ftortnheld is on the Connecticut
nver, in the beautifully picturesque
mountain region of the northern part
of Massachusetts and is peculiarly
adapted to the purposes of such an
encampment. Rooms and meals are
furnished to those in attendance in
the Seminary buildings, and here also
the meetings are held.
The Assembly is wonderfully well
equipped and organized and every
thing that is necessary to the com
fort and enjoyment of the delegates
and visitors is at once provided.
No meetings are allowed in the
afternoon, the whole of which time is
given to bodily exerciie in field
sports, boating, mountain climbing or
any recreation which the visitor's
own sweet will may dictate.
On yesterday we were addressed by
Mr. Moody, Rev. II. Clay Trumbull
and other distinguished Bible teach
ers,; besides many representative col
lege men from Edinburgh (Scotland),
uxrora (HJngiand), Yale, Harvard,
Princeton, Oberlin and other colleges
and universities. :
The singing is led by a male cho r
of about sixty voices under the direc
tion of Prof. Towner. Mr. Sankey is
present, and is often called upon to
sing, to which call he always re
sponds, and then there are no eyes,
no ears and no hearts but for Mr.
Sankey.
At the first conference your corres
pondent and his fellows from our,
own University were made to feel at
home by the announcement by Mr.
Moody that -"the meeting will be
opened with prayer by Prof. Chas. E.
Taylor, of North Carolina."
The famous "three times three," of
Yale, is sometimes .heard on the
green, and the Bible and tennis rac
quet keep close company.
The encampment is noticeable for
that rarely good combination of hard
muscles, soft hearts, good heads, and
earnest Christian spirit, and the fel
Iowb go from the cricket, ground to
the meetings clad .in knickerbockers
and cricket caps and1 shirts believ
ing that whatsoever their hands find
to do, thai they Bhould do with all
their might
Mr. Moody' s power lies in his In
dividual consecration, and in his
strong, terse way of" putting) a thing.
One of his expressions yesterday was
that "if the archangel Gabriel were
to come down here he would lose his
character in six, mopibil showing
