(Barker) would not vote for him. The majority of the Independents, he asserted, were notliing but disappointed persons. He was in favor of completing the present ticket, and he believed that the ticket would sweep the State. eered for him, and Thomas M. Marshall had received a two-thirds vote, although 0*neron and Quay had not asked "a single vote for him.( Col. Taggart said it was an absurdity to say that a single man could own a convention composed of two hundred and fifty picked men from the Republican party. If there was a possible and honorable plan of harmonizing whatever differences existed in the party, said Col. Taggart, in conclusion, it would be the obvious duty of the convention to adopt such a plan, for the success of the Republican party was of more importance than a thousand bosses with a whole pack of Wolves and Charles at the head or tail of them. THE WAGE WORKERS. Republicans and 22 Democrats; Senate, 16 Republicans and ,14 Democrats, and the majority on joint ballot will be 11. This does not include the lie on the Representative from Yam Hill county; for which a new election will be ordered. Should he be Republican the majority would be 18; if Democrat, the majority would be 16. THE DEMON OF THE AIR MARRIOTT BROSIUS NOMINATED. THE PROGRESS OF THE STRIKE.

Pittsburg, June 20.—A apocial dispatch to the Press says it tunia out that tho aealo signed by the Westlake Iron Company, of Warren, Ohio, waa not tlie absolute but the conditional scale, and, consequently, while the action of the company is a direct breach of faith, it will in no way affect the situation other than that it is "another atep toward centering the tight in thia district. Aa there is a disposition to conceal as far as possible their intentions in this direction, the officers of the Amalgamated Association have not boasted much over this victory. President Jarrett, who returned from the West to-day said : "The situation generally remains unchanged, and both , sides are continuing the struggle quietly and peacefully aa becomes sensible men. This morning there waa a miners' mass meeting at Mansfield called to givo expression to the men's feelings on the situation. About 300 were present, and the question at iasue was submitted to a vote by ballot The result was that only half a dozen voted in favor of going to work at three and a half cents. The rest were for'camp life and four cents. PENNSYLVANIA RAILROADS. Deb Moines, June 20.—The editor of the Dos Moines Register has furnished a graphic description of the frightful tornado and its equally terrible results to the Associated Press, the substance of which is given below : * Harrinburg, Pa., June 81.—Delegates havo boon arriving rapidly this morning. Up to ten o'clock one hundred and eighty of them had called upon th« State chairman for tickets of admission to the convention. It is said that very few substitutes are among the numbor. Their Freight Tonnage and Passenger Movement Last Year. He felt sure that a new convention would re-nominate General Beaver and Senator Da- The total number of miles run by passenger trains upon railroads in this State, last year, was 31,790,403, of wjiich 4,525,841 were on the Pennsylvania; 3,476,629 New York, Lake Erie and Western; 3,330,385 Philadelphia and Trenton; 3,008,313 Reading, and 2,910,400 Lake Shore. This is a remarkable showing, for it appears that the Philadelphia and Trenton had a greater passenger train mileage than the Lake Shore or the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago, and more than twice as much as the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore, and only a little less than the New York, Lake Erie and Western. The freight mileage was S3,241,764, or a little more than twioe as much. The Pennsylvania's 14,213,169 is a little less than twico as much as the 7.704,600 on the Lake Shore, while the Erie rung over 9,000,000 and the Fort Wayne about 6,000,000. These figures are again deoeptive, for the Reading reports its coal trains separately while these do not And we find that the coal mileage on the Philadelphia and Trenton is only a trifle less than on the Reading. The total coal mileage is put down at 14,286,254. The Philadelphia and Trenton also carried over its short line 1,172,987 through passengers out of a total in the State of 3)310,529, figures . which are again deceptive, as some of the roads do not divide local and through traffic, and it is evident that the longer the line the smaller would be the number of through passengers. The Reading reports more passengers than the  which is second on the list with 15,000 less, and the Philadelphia and Trenton reports more miles run by passenger trains than tlioro were passengers—an obvious absurdity. The total amount of through freight for tlite year was 40,677,031 tons, and the total 132,- 410,302 tons. The Pennsylvania carried 2,- 207,529 tons through and a total of 18,229,- 365 tons. The Reading carried 16,841 and the Lehigh Valley and Lake Shore about half The tornado made a destructive sweep through a thickly-pettled portion of Iowa, some-150 miles in length and on an average half a mile wide, extending from points south of Ames, iu the centre of the State, and in the shape of a crescent south of English, in Keokuk county. From the southeastern part of the State we have the names now of 69 of the dead and 500 of the wounded, half of the lattor grievously hurt and probably a fifth of them fatally. Over 300 families have had their homes destroyed, and there are now at least 1,500 persons homeless and in want. The loss in property will exceed $2,000,000 and may roach $3,000,000. In the town of Grinnell alone over $400,000 in property was destroyed, on none of which was there a cent of insurance as in the case of fires. It will take $100,000 at once to put the wounded people in condition to be cared ior. It will take $1,000,090 at the lowest to keep the sufferers from want and to help them to put the humblest of roofs, over their heads. The people of Des Moines and Iowa are responding generously. It will take the help of every humane city and town in the West and of every liberal city and town in the East to put comfort and safety between these stricken people and further suffering and fatality. Grinnell is a town of New England people, a thrifty, intelligent people, and with the lowest rate of crime »nd illiteracy in the State and the highest rate or intelligence and morality The condition of the other towns and farming communities is fully aa pitiable and helpless. All that the people of Iowa can do will be done to alleviate the condition and repair in part the losses of the sufferers.' But it wilj take $1,000,000 to do it, even in half-way comfort and recompense, and the people of a State who have always borne their share and done their part in all national calamities may fitly ask the people of other communities to help them in this hour of great calamity to many of the worthiest of its people; and to this end I ask my fellows of the press through the United States to place the facts before their readers and give their timely help to its sufficient purpose of raising and providing aid at the earliest moment possible. Isaiah H. Brown, of Philadelphia, thought if. a new convention would re-nominate the same ticket there was no need of the trouble and expensa of holding it. He was not in favor of conciliating deserters. He was very heartily applauded for the sentiment A general caucus of the delegates has been called for 11 a. m., in the State library rooms and meantime county delegations are caucusing for the purpose of agreeing upon lines of action. Upon the conclusion of the roll call it was announced that 227 of the 251 delegates were present Mr. Brusius then offered the resolu tion approved in caucus directing the nomination of a candidate for Congressman-at-Large, and referring to the State Committee the question of adopting methods of harmonizing the party. Nobody has a boom for Congressman-at- Large, and the largest delegations—those from Philadelphia and A^gheny—prefer to be without favorite candidates. The men talked of arc (general Lilly, Judge Agnew, Howard, Jacobs' and General Koontz. Bat no one appears'to be attempting to secure strength for any particular candidate. It is .is much a goas-you-please convention as could well be held. William II. Bunn, of Philadelphia, made a ten-minute speech in opposition to the resolution, while Mr. Nesbitt, of Blair, a colored delgate, favored some such plan as that suggested by Chairman Cooper—the plan of an appeal to the Republican primaries to decide between the two tickets. It was adopted without dissent Nominations for Congressman-at-Large wore thon made as follows: Gen. William Lilly, of Carbon; Marriott Brosius, of Lancaster; Gen. Lemuel Todd, of Cumberland; Howard J. Jacobs, of Berks; Galusha A. Grow, of Susquehanna, and William M. Bunn, of Philadelphia. * General McLoary, of Krie, ftieri offered the following as a substitute for the resolution: Resolved, That this convention proceed to oompletethe ticket by the nomination of a Congressman-at-Lar^e; and that we recommend the Republican State Committee to adopt all honorable meanx to harmonize the Republican party 80 as to secure success in November.ThCre Tias been some discussion as to who should call the convention to order" and direct its affairs until a president, instead of Attorney- GeneralLoar, shall have been chosen. This qucstiou, about which there wivi considerable difference of opinion, has been relegated for settlement to the general caucus. THE VERY LATEST. At the office of the Miners'Association it was learned that now camps will be established at Mansfield, Banksville and Scott Haven. At dinner yesterday at the McDonald Camp there were 145 miners. To-day there were still more, and the piece de resistance on the bill of fare was "ox-tail soup." It was statod that there were some foreign minors in the Mansfield Company's pits, but that they would have them out Eighteen darkies were in the Fort Pitt minos a day or two ago, but. some of those had already departed for more congenial climes. Over a million bushels of coal were sent South to-day, and three or four million bushels more will go out tomorrow. River operators have oontcndod for several months that they could not ship coal South profitably at present prices, but whenever the river rises they mean to got rid of several million bushels.Another discussion followed on the substitute, those who opposed the original resolutions making repeated calls for the quostion when remarks in favor of the resolution wore made. When a delegate from Crawford arose and the calls for the question drowned his voice, he raised and called out that if efforts to compromise and harmonize were, choked off it would lose the State to the parly and in Crawford alone would cost the ticket six or seven hundred votes. Brosius Nominated for Cou Ltrge. i-at- Special dispatch to the Evening Gazette. The proposition to adjourn to-day's convention after taking measures looking to the selection of a new ticket and the securing of hanuitny in the party has few open advocates, though many of the delegates confess themselves, as individuals, favorable to it Harbibbuhq, June 21.—On the first ballot Brosius of Lancaster was nominated for Congressman-at-Large, the vote being as follows: Brosius, 141 $ Lilly, 26; Todd, 17; Jacobs, 29. To-Korrow'a Weather Indications. On the other hand a score of the most influential delegates, particularly the learders from Philadelphia and Allegheny, condemn the proposition as one that would result in the stultification of the party. They contend that the convention of May 10th, was regular, and that itswork was properly done and that the delegates who formed it would be stultifying themselves by taking any action that would In effect be a confession tc D'ie contrary. This class of delegates appear anxious to discourage even the bringing of the question in the convention. For the Middle Atlantic States, slightly warm, fair weather; winds shifting to east and south ; stationary or slowly falling barometer. Several delegates, "Is that a throat ?" The Crawford delegate replied that it was not a threat That was the trouble with those who Uiought to force their own vipws that every warning, every honest, sensible prediction of truth was regarded as a throat As a Republican he was personally bound to support the ticket he had helped make, (applause) but at the same time lie felt it to be his duty to lay before the mooting wliat he felt oonvinced was the true feeling among the people of his own county. The BuKklo Striking; Printers. Buffalo, N. Y., June 21.—All the newspapers issued as usual this morning, but the strikers remain firm. The Courier advertises this morning for compositors at the prices de. manded by the strikers—33 cents and 35 cents, for day and night work respectively, but announces that none of the strikers shall be eni- By telegraph to the Gazette. A car load of Swedes, 40 men with their families, arrived from New York, where they landed four days ago, this evening. To-morrow morning they will be taken to Mansfield and put to work in the {Dit of the Mansfield Coal and Coke Company. Their arrival and the announcement that more will arrive tomorrow have Btirred up a deeper feeling than did the coining of the colored men. The miners' officers and other labor leaders «ay this must stop or they will be unable to preserve the peace. A. 0.

Many people were bereft of their houses. Not a splinter as large as a finger— not a shred of furniture as large as a skein of silk remained, and hundreds have no clothing left except what they had on. Little children, with both parents killed, were left by themselves, maimed and wounded. Every condition of woe exists that most tendorly appeals to the pity of the human heart Wounds inflicted by the bebris that filled the air like chaos, by electric balls of fire that seemed to transverse 'every inch of space and that exploded with fearfully fatal effects, will, many of them, defy all skill and nursing, even with the tenderest care.

It was all very well to say that there was nothing personal in the objection to the ticket, but .-it was against the methods by which it was chosen.

The striking freight handlers paraded this morning from Desbrosses street to the "Battery, where they disbanded. The interference of the police was not required, as the men behaved themselves in a commendable manner. The strikers declare they will hold out unless their demand is conceded. All the St John's Park and other depots, where green hands are employed, the work progresses very slowly, and the freight is accumulating on the hands of the companies. Along the piers on the North river front business is almost at a standstill, only a few men being engaged there in the places of the strikers. Shortly after noon the men employed at the Eric freight houses, Bast river, quit work and joined the strikers. The men are peaceable and give tho police very little trouble. The members of the MercantileJSxcliange held a meeting to-day and addled resolutions deploring the losses which they were sufjocted to in consequence of the strike of the freight handlers and deprecstmg tne position taken by the railroad and transportation oompaaiei which is entailing loss to the members of the Mercantile Exchange and their consignors, and trusting that a settlement of the difference will soon be arrived at This afternoon all the hands employed at the New Havan and Hartford freight depots on the East river struck for an increase of live dollars a month. Two hundred Pennsylvania railroad longshoremun at Harsimus Cove and ninety on the' Cardiff docks, Jersey City, joined the strikers to-day. The striking type founders in Farmer, Littlo i Co.'s employ, who were to liave returned to work to-day at the ten per cent increase, made a further demand that the 11 rm discharge the hands employed to All the strikers' places. This the firm refused to do and the strikers refused to return to work. The Republican caucus was called to order in the State library room at 12 o'clock by Alexander P. Brown, of Philadelphia, and Judge Fetterman, of Allegheny county, waH made presinent Judge JoSsup. of Susquehanna county, offered the following resolutions:Philadelphia Markets.

The fury of the storm, which was clearly of electric origin and which, indeed, may bo described as having been eloctricily itself, may be understood from the statement that at various places it took up in its great spirals or funnels houses a thousand feet in the air and took up and carried large droves of cattle through the air for thousands of feet and dashed them down dead in heaps. Many thousands of cattle, horses, hogs nnd other animals now lie in the track of the tornado arid are already rotting and adding to the horrors tho fold and pervading odors of putrefaction.Resolved.

Judge Jessup offered a substitute for his previous amendment requesting the State committee to take immediate action towards harmonizing the troubles in the party, and that if necessary, the ooinmittee be empowered to call a new convention to place a new ticket in the field. This was met with interrupted applause and cries of "No," "No." The substitute was withdrawn by Judge Jessup on the expression of opinion by the chair and many by the delegates, that the new amendment requesting the State committee to adopt all honorable moans, Ac., covers the same ground. The latter amendment was then put and carried ; there wore only a few dissenting votes. BUTTER—The market was quiet and steady, held creamery extra ; good to choice do. UttiSc.

There are now employed in the Baldwin Locomotive Works, at Philadelphia, 3,000 men, with a sufficient number of orders to keep them busy during ttie entire year. Locomotives are being turned out by the firm at the rate of 600 a year. Of those in course of construction now, fifty are for the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company, sixty for the Pennsylvania, twenty for the Lehigh Valley, and thirty for the New Jersey Central. There are also several orders from companies iu the West. It is stated that the excuse for the railroad companies placing orders for engines with the Baldwin firm is to relieve their own shops. Dr. Williams, a member of the firm, recently sailed for Rio Janeiro to secure contracts for Samuel B. Hury, of Philadelphia, spoke aluo in favor of this resolution he know that iu Philadelphia the air was rife with the independent spirit and the voters were behind this spirit He was in favor of making offers «f con iliation to the Independents and if they were refused then let the-responsibility rest where it belonged. Judge Jessup was tlxed upon as the delegate to nominate Taggart of NorthumWIand, for president of the convention in place of Mr. Lear, who declined to attend, and Mr. Brosius was chosen to read to the convention the resolution adopted in caucus. It Waa Still-Born From the Cincinnati Enquirer. The Hancock boom in Pennsylvania seems to have died "a borran'." The delegates then adjourned to meet immediately in the Opera House. Judge Agnew Oat of Polities. From the Philadelphia Press. R. Carnahan, of Allegheney, thought there was no principle upon which tins Independent movement was founded. A body of men met in Philadelphia, he said, without credentials and without contituency, and nominated a ticket in opposition to the Republican party. He was against any effort to placate these disappointed men. Delegates had come here to till the vacancy on the ticket and go home, and he moved that the resolution be laid on tbe table. The convention was called to order at 1:45 p. m., when Col. David Taggart was elected president Ki-Chief Justice Agnew was found at the St Cloud Hotel yesterday, but was not inclined to talk about tlio present political situation. "I am out of politics, and am only a private citizen," he said. "My name was taken into the convention without my authority, and latoly I have been in the papers more than I like. So I must really decline to say anything" and, in conversation afterward, the ex-Chief Justice referred with evjdent satisfaction to the fact that, though he had been in public life so long, he had never held a political office, for he did not consider a judicial position as such. He had been a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1837-8, but had never taken much part in partisan politics. Mr. Agnew, though now over seventy years old, is remarkably well preserved, and is engaged in attending to the business which be had to neglect during his long career as judge. The Bradley-Smith-Palmer crew make great ado about Nichols' "inconsistency." Why bless their dear hearts it was their domineering manner of managing things that made Nichols and the rest of them Independents last year. They are Republicans from principle, and so long aa such political shysters are ignored by the "higher powers" they will fight for the regular ticket every time. The broken ring harping about principle may be compered to the Devil preaching Chris- THE CONVENTION. In taking the chair llr. Taggart said he thought the convention had every - right to finish it* now uncompleted work. It had been said it was Cameron's convention, but in him (Mr. Taggart) the oonventiou had choeen a president that was not only for General Beaver for Governor bat for James 6.

The Bpeaker waa not for Boas Wolfe or Boss Mitchoil or Boss Cameron or any other Boas, and thought the poople could dis|ienso with the whole lot of litem, at least until after the election. General Beaver would have been nominated even if all the Bosses had been against him. Charles Wolfe did not receive a vote, although the big Boss had election- Brazil.
