HEKT8 IN THK COVRT
HOUSE TODAY.
Resolution Adopted and an Ejc
ccutlve Committee Elected A
Nominating Convention to be
Called at an Early Day.
It was 10:45 this morning before the
prohibition county convention was
died to order by T. C. West all, tempo
rary chairman of the county executive
committee.
Mnj. Westnll read o prepared address
setting forth the reasons existing for the
formation of a prohibition party, sepa-
rate and distinct from the other two po
litical parties. If he thought there was
the slightest hope for relief from the
whiskey evil in the old parties, he would
never have left the one to which he belonged.
Kcv. S. C. Owen, of Hominy, was
chosen permanent chairman, and Frank
Lindscv. of Asheville, permanent secre
tary, and the members of the press prcs-
cnt were chosen honorary ,sccre tarns.
T.J. Candler moved that a committee
on credentials ue appointed, w. u,
Candler offered as a substitute that all
men who exoect to vote the prohibition
ticket be allowed to take part in the
convention. This substitute was carried
by a rising vote, 100 or more men stand
ing mi. theieby announcing mar. tnev
would vote for prohibition.
Tilman K. (James introduced tne ioi
o wine resolutions:
"Resolved, i hntourconneclion is witn

Resolved, that we demand mat an

Resolved. 1 hat we lake steps to put

Wealthy Virginian.
Richmond, Va., June 10. A special
dispatch from Wythcville says : The su
preme court of appeals today decided the
celebrated Bettic Lewis-Thomas case in
favor of the plaintiff. By this action a
colored woman, who is a resident of
Richmond, becomes the possessor of an
estate valued at about $l!00,OO0.
Her father, W. Thomas, who was a
white man, died in 1880 at the home of
his daughter, and left no will. The re
latives of the deceased, ns well as Uettie,
engaged some of the ablest legal talent in
the state and sought to obtain posses
sion of the property. The Chancery
court decided in favor of liettic and the
supreme court affirms that division.

Chicago, June 18. "Cleveland will be
nominated on the first onllot."
So spoke the Hon. Wm. C. Whitney,
of New York, in a very emphatic manner
as he emerged fron' the conference of the
Cleveland managers which had lasted
from 9 o'clock last night till ancarly hour
this morning in Whitney's private pa
lors at the Richelieu. The gathering
was by long odds the most important
one that has been held since the political
hosts began to center in Chicago. It
wa called for the express purpose ol
looking over the entire line of battle and
of determining any weak points if they
existed.
rorcmost among the conlcrces were
Whitney nnd Don, M. Dickinson.
It was no ordinary gathering of Cleve
land enthusiasts. On the contrary, every
man who came represented a section ol
the country Irom which the Cleveland
strength is to be drawn and each man
was a icndcr ol national prominence
Adlai Stevenson, ex-assistant postmaster
general under Cleveland, and probably
temporary chairman ol the convention
was present.
The southern stales were well reprc-
sented.
What was done in the hours of earnest
conference is briefest told in the first
duotcd statement of ex-Secretary Whit
ney : "Cleveland will be nominated on
the first ballot." The strength of Cleve
land in every section of the country was
examined with minute detail. "I have
thought from the first," said Mr. Whit
ney, "that Cleveland had a majority and
would be nominated, but it was not
until I heard these reports from conserva
tive and thoroughly posted leaders trom
all over the country that 1 became ab
solutely confident that Cleveland would
he nominated on the hrst ballot."
"Is this feeling ol confidence based on
(inures ?
'Certainly, but ve have no figures
to offer for publication as yet. In a
word, however, they show that there
will be only one ballot and that will
nominate Cleveland." The Whitney
conference before adjourning last n'ght
decided that those who took part in its
deliberations should call upon the chair
man ol each delegation and get him

An Adjournment Till Wednesday
The Sub-Treasury.
Washington, June 18. In the house
this morning Mr. McMillin, of Tennes
see, stated that every appropriation bill
had passed the house except tH general
deficiency bill. Six general appropria
tion bills were still unacted on by the
senate. Therefore the house was far
in advance 01 the senate and would
be even if they did not meet lor a week.
He therefore moved that when the house
adjourned today it be to meet Wednes
day. The motion was agreed to.
At the request of Mr. havers, ot 1 exas,
consent was given to the committee on
appointments to hie the deficiency ap
poiutmcnt bill and report with the clerk
during recess.
Mr. Livingstone, ot Georgia, asked
consent that, beginning Wednesday, the
next three days would be given to a dis
cussion of the sub treasury bill. Mr.
McMillin said the subject was under
consideration in the committee 011 ways
and means, and he must object.
