THE CONVENTION THEN ADJOURNED UNTIL TOMORROW MORNING. MiNNiiAFoi.is, June 7.-10 n. 111. Mr. Claikson lias been notified that a figlit will be made on 1'asset's election as tem porary chairman by the presentation of Cnlloni's name by the Harrison faction. 11a. m.-It will probably be 12:30 before the convention is called to order. 12:21 p. 111. The convention has been called to order. The scene is an inspiring one as every nook and coi ner of the yast building is filled with humanity. 12 42 p. m. I'assctt was elected tem porary chairman by acclamation, the Harrison men not opposing him. Cheer ing and a storm of applause greeted him as he stepjicd forward. 12: 1-5 p.m. The mention by Passett of republican "reciprocity" was cheered vociferously. 12:55 p. in. Tremendous applause greeted Fassctt as he named the rcpubli can leaders and said, "Harrison and Blaine." 1:05 p. m. A "free and honest" ballot took the crowd immensely. 1'iissctt devoted a great deal of his speech to the injustice of the democratic denial of sulTrngc in the south. These references finally resulted in the audience calling "Keed, Reed, "Reed," and calls for him to come forward. Keed finally rose and came to the platform to speak. (Great cheers.) Keed was frequently cheered. Loud calls were made lor Mckinley. lie rose to his feet and was loudly cheered. 1:23 p. 111. Tenipcrary organization was effected and then Sewell of New Jer sey offered a resolution that the roll be called and the chairman of each delega tion announce the nicmhcis ol the com mittees selected. 1:54 Convcntioncd adjourned till 11 o'clock tomorrow. Minneapolis, une 1 1 lie morning opened murky, and the tired politicians were slow in assembling around heart quarters. The situation is unchanged since midnight, when Kluine was gaining a little. At the Harrison headquarters Ocneral Michcnor, ot Indiana, was lay ing out plans for the work of the dav It is apparent that the efforts of Mr Harrison at present arc principally de voted to holding in line the southern vote which show some signs of wenkning and to keep true to their assurances the delegates Irom Missouri, Iowa, Illinois and other states where the lllaine senti meiit has heretofore been rampant and where there arc some delegates who but tor their instructions, would be in clined to again follow their leader. Griffin, ex-seerctary of state of Indiana speaking for the Harrison people, ex pressed undiminished confidence in the nomination of the president. He dcclar that it was Harrison against the field and asserted that the anti-udministra tionites, realizing that they could not beat Harrison with lilaine alone, were trying to bring out Cullom to divide the strength ot the 1 resident m Illinois: Kusk to cut into the 1'iesidetit in the Badger State; Alger to capture the doubtful votes in Michigan amlMcKinlcy to swing the Ohio votes 111 line. Grifliu was informed that lllaine claim cu that the Mckinley movement was started by the Harrison people. He said that was untrue and that the president would be the only man the Harrison people would bring up. A Harrisonman was in consultation with Powell Clayton, of Arkansas and the Missouri delegation and others at 5j o'clock this morning for the purpose of keeping the lines in'thc southwest intact. A visit to some of the delegation shows that the president is the stronger on a direct vote between the south anil lllaine than he is on the indirect propositions, such as the selection of chairman, the organi zation of the committee or any motions of a preliminary nature. Men who are naturally Blaine, but are instructed lor Harrison, feel at liberty on these indirect propositions to vote according to their personal wishes, borne ol tlicni nncltncir instructions irksome and there is a strong movement on foot on the part ol the anti-administration people to convince the doubtful men that the circum stances have changed so as to relieve the binding element from their ill' structions. Some of the delegates arc a little inclined to listen to these argu ments and are not unwilling to be con vinced, but they hesitate at this time to get on the wrong side and violate their instructions- The full committee last night ratified the election of the sub-committees in the Mississippi, South Carolina and Ala bama contested election cases. The Convention opeim. The convention was called to order at 12:24. After prayer thccall of the conven tion was read by Dc Young, of Minne apolis. At 12:40 p. 111. Mr. Clarkson announced that the national committee had recommended Fnssett for temporary chairman, lie was elected by acclama tion, the Harrison men not opposing him. Great cheering and a storm of applause greeted him as he stepped for ward to read his speech. N. C. DELEGATION. Two For nialne A Hitter fr'litbt By Republican Tenllmouv. Minneapolis. Minn., June 7.

Pritchard. l l.OWI.lt MISSION. Report of tlie Monthly Meeting Held Yesterday, The following report of the meeting of the Flower Mission is furnished The Citizen by the secretary, along with sonic pertinent remarks on the line of the work done: "The regular monthly meeting of the Associated Charity was held on Monday afternoon, June 0, tit the residence of Mrs. W. H. l'cnland, on Haywood street. The proceeds of the Dairy Maid's Fete, with several personal contribu tions, have enabled the treasurer to set tle the most pressing bills, and the mem bers are greatly encouraged in their work. For the benefit of those friends who ire constantly calHug the Flower Mis sion to account for helping able-bodied men who ought to be at work, and thus encoaragiug pauperism, 1 make the lol- owing statement : uacll superintendent is requested to put on the vagrant list the name of any man able to work who reluses to support his family. This list is then sent to the city authorities who have promised to see that this measure is enforced. 'Another feature ol our work bv which wchopctohclpthepoorto help themselves is a mending bureau, to be established in connection withthe central office. This bureau, we trust, will be ol benefit to both rich and poor, bv giving the former a reliable place to have clothing mended, and by supplying the latter with work. Clothing lelt at 21) Spruce street any ilternoon between the hours ol .1 and C will receive prompt attention, a notice to which bachelors arc asked to give special heed. InthenlJsenccol the president irom the next three meetings, Miss Aston was unanimously elected vice-president, and will till the place during the summer months," tVINI, RAIN, 1IAII.. They Have it All Their Own Way Awhile Today. One of the bar lest wind, rain and hail storms Asheville has known in years visited the city this afternoon about 12:35 o'clock, continuing for over a half hour. The storm came with little warn ing, and in a few minutes Uiestrcets were filled with miniature rivers. The creeks in the city were out of bant in a little while. Town branch rose to such an unprecedented height as to cover the street car track in Cripple Creek. A small wooden addition to a store house in the Creek was lifted from its founda tions and carried down as far as the street bridge leading to Scratch Ankle. The water subsided almost as swiftly as it came, and at 1-o'clockTowiibranch was at about its usual mark. In the vicinity of the Glen Rock the rain poured down like a water spout. There was no hail there. The water cleaned out the lower Hour of the hotel, washing away barrels of beer, crates of chickens, a car load of wood, and drowned the gas machine. It looks as though there were twenty ear loads ol merchandise under the bridge. Some lumber washed out from the Carolina Wood working company yards. The bridgejust below there was lifted up in to the street. The running of street cars was sus pended from 12:31) to 3 o'clock. ItV I.ItniTMMi. How Will Bradford I.ohI tkitt I.llc Yesterday Afternoon. When the lightning's stroke that cut short the earthly existence of Will Iirad- Ibrd fell yesterday, the workmen on the new liailey street school building were in the act of seeking shelter. They had just covered the walls with planks and started to the workshop onlv a few feet away. The stroke that killed Bradford struck about 2:10. He was knocked off the wall, falling on his back. His hat was torn oil' and the pieces scattered near where the body fell. The clothing 011 Bradford's left leg was torn from thigh to ankle, as if the threads had been rip ped with a knife. Some portions of his underclothing were scorched, and the in step of the left shoe was ripped. Lightning also struck a water pipe at the building, entering the ground at that point. A man named I'attnn was sitting on a barrel about two leel trotn the pipe it the tune. He received 110 shock. Bradford had been in Contractor West ill's employ only a lew hours, and had been carrying brick. Mr. Wcstull had the body removed to the undertaking rooms of Blair & McDowell. Bradford's remains left on the 2;30 train this afternoon lor the deceased s old home in Caldwell county, accompa nied by Will Kradlord, of this city, a cousin ol the dead man. TO CARRY THE BANNER. Homer I.. Ferguson Commands the Successful Company. The Charlotte Chronicle's Sunday Washington letter says of Homer L. Fer guson, ot Wavncsvillc: The North Carolina 'colony at the capital is jubilant over the fact that the ejlor company ol the I nited states naval academy is to be commanded by a North Carolina boy. The annual competitive drill for the honor of carrying the colors took place at Annapolis Thursday morning, between the four companies omposing the battalion ol naval cadets. Capt. Homer L. Ferguson was tn com mand ol the successful company, and the colors were presented to him by a beauti ful Maryland girl, who was the belle 01 the occasion. It is nlsonmntler ol pride to the people of the old North state that Capt. Ferguson graduated this year sec ond 111 a class tlurtylour. - A Double Charge. Ex-Policeman J. B.
