Swarm of Sight-Seers Visit the as a Practical Cattle Man Nmw York, April 34.—Stockholders of the Oregon Transcontinental company have received from President Endicott a reply to their letter of Inquiry in relation to the affair* of the comjjany. Among other things, tho president says: "The shrinkage of the market price in Northern Pacific and Oregon Transcontinental stocks held in December last by the Oregon Transcontinental company amounts during the list year to more than $30,000,000, or more than $50 per share upon the Oregon Transcontinental stock. In regard to a maturing fund scheme I' can only say that it has been much discussed; but it seems hardly practicable to attempt it with success until later in the year." Trim Ship.

Y., April at.—The Republican state convention was called to order in the opera house at 2:30 o'clock, and after the roll call, on motion of Theodore Roosevelt, Hon. NathagM C. Boynton, of Essex, was elected temporary chairman over Hon. Edmund L. Pitts, by a vote of 861 to 940. This was a test vote, and from it the strength of the contending (actions could be safely predicated. After appointing committees on resolutions and contested seats the convention took a recess until 4 o'clock. Mr. Fcnner, of Chattauqua, introduced the following resolution: In case the committee of any assembly district shall make application to the state committee it shall ascertain the facts and prescribe an equitable representation for the assembly districts and the senatorial or congressional districts to which they may belong, and such assombly listricts shall severally be entitled to the representation thus fixed at any convention of uich congressional or senatorial district. Such representation shall be based upon the Eteoublican vote of such assembly district at r.he last preceding presidential election. The "provisions of this resolution shall only apply o the thirty-fourth congressional district. Washington, April 34.—In the senate Mr. IJlumb explained the provision of the plcuro-pneumonia bill and the necessity for its speedy passage. All the principal cattle associations of the country were in favor of such legislation. Mr. McPhersou declared that neither pleuro-pneumooin, nor-- foot and mouth disease exists to any alarming extent in the country. He made this statement as a practical shipper and exporter of cattle, and would assort further that no animal shipped from this country ever lamled in Great Britain in a dangerous state of any disease. The effect of the bill would be to discredit our animal product in every part of the world. Nrw York, April 84.—There was a large crowd of people at the navy Jyard yesterday, who had come to inspect the Arctic fleet that is to go in search of the Grooly expedition. Among the early visitors were Lieuts. Danenhauer and Melville, Paymaster Gen. Smith and Chief of tho Bureau of Construction Wilson. In honor of the arrival of tho two latter named officials a salute of nine guns was fired from the ordnance dock at the command of Commander Kane. Lieut Murphy, judge advocate of the court of inquiry for the investigation of tho affairs of the equipment department, also arrived shortly after 11 o'clock. Yours Respectfully, A. A. Heizmakx.

The further information was vouchsafed, by the president that the $8,000,000 loan mature# Dec. 31, and the remaining indebtedness at a somewhat later date, so that collateral is not at present available. There is reason to expect that the summer business of both Northern Pacific and Oregon Transcontinental companies will be such as to very much strengthen the collateral which the company will have to offer as security for a long loan. | The letter concludes as follows: After the recess the committee on perm a nent organization reported as follows: President, Hon.

Additional Mother Swan'a Worm Syrup After considerable discussion, in which Warner Miller took part, the resolution was idopted. Naturally, the main point of interest way the steamer, Bear which is set down to sail to-day, and crowds of people gathered on the dock to which she was secured eager to go on board. But Commander Emory had given orders that no strangers should be permitted to cross the gang plank until the stores were all on board, and the sailor in charge saw that the order was strictly enforced. From 2 until 6 P. M., however, this order was rescinded, and during these hours tho people came pouring over the sides of the vessel with as much avidity, as though they were going to a circus show, and peered in and out and around the machinery, the quarters of the officers and men, and every nook and cranny into which they could possibly intrude themselves. The officers were as good-natured as they could be, under the circumstances, and answered all sorts of questions, silly and otherwise, with Chesterfleldian urbanity. Said Chief Engineer George W. Melville: ■ Infallible, tasteless, harmless, cathartic; for feverishness, restlessness, worms, constipation. 25c. The candidates for delegates-at-large are: Judge West, ybo was defeated for governor by Bishop; JuagoForaker, who was defeated by Gov. Hoadley; R. C. Parsons, who was defeated for congress by H. B. Payne; ex- Gov. Foster; W. G. Rose, who was defeated for lieutenant governor last fall; Charles Grosvenor, Maj. Townsend and J. Warren Keifer. The colored men have been promised a delegate-at-large, and W. S. Thomas, of Delaware, and ex-Representative Green, of this city, are being canvassed for. Ex-State Treasurer Joseph Turney and Congressman McKinley are prominently mentioned for electors. Mr. Coke concurred In this view. He said no more pernicious bill could be presented, and that its title oughtproperly to be "a bill for slandering the great stock interests of the country." On motion of Mr. Bliss, as amended by Mr. 'ohnson (colored), the state committee were mpowered to nominate two electore-at-large, Dne of whom is to be a colored man. "The annual meeting of the corporation will take place within sixty days, and changes in the management are possible. The company's officers have endeavored to bring tflo company from the very critical condition in which it was found in December last into one of undoubted solvency, to adjust and pay the floating indebtedness, which proved to be much larger than had been anticipated, and generally to bring affairs into a snug condition." to brush the teeth with SOOCDONT, to flagrant and refreshing is it, and so plcasunt is the tasto it leaves In the mouth after operation.

Only a few drops on rt.e brush, a r*g or sponge is needed for an ablution, and yet it is wondrously effective. It is a Positive Luxury "Twice," he exclaimed, "has this bill been kicked oat of the senate. The department of agriculture is determined to aggrandize itself by taking charge of the stock of the country. It is determined not only to lay its hands on the cattle, but on the horses, sheep and hogs, and they next thing you know will embrace the fowl." Mr. Nicol offered the following resolution, rhich was adopted: Resolved, That the Republicans of New fork, in state convention represented, repectfully request the next national convenion to provide that in the future national •onvention representation shall be proportionate to the number ofRepublican voters of the tate and congressional districts, respectively. On motion of Mr. Bliss, the state committee vas empowered to fill all vacancies and replace ineligible electors. Mr. Williams said he was not affected by this Texas "Snorter." He was sorry that Mr. Coke had, in the ardor of his feelings, been carried so far in the denunciation of the bill and the men who support it. The measure was wise and judicious, and in the true interest of stock raisers and dealers. The Texas cattle were long, lean, slabsided animals, sometimes measuring seven feet from tip to tip, but they were entitled to no more privileges than common Democratic cattle. (Laughter.)

Y , April 24.—In September, 1846, John Hallock, of the town of Monroe, In this county, wan married to Miss Hannah Bennett, of the town of Mamakating, Sullivan county, N. Y. After two years of married life, and when their daughter was four months old, Hallock suddenly disaj$eared. The deserted wife could find no trace of him, and finally gave him up as dead. The daughter has in the meantime grown up and married. Last month an Eliqira paper chronicled the death in the town of Spencer, Tioga county, N. Y., of one John Hallock, a wealthy citizen, whose death was a great losr to his wife and children, as well as the community. Mrs. Hallock saw the paper, and set inquiries on foot, with the result of proving him to have been the missing man. Hallock drew his own will, and in it bequeathed $5 to Evaline Dimmick Hallock, his daughter by his first wife; not naming the first wife otherwise at all. Last week, in order to settle the estate, it became necessary to serve a citation on the daughter, and that process furnished further proof of the dead man's identity. Mrs. Hallock number one has instituted proceedings to recover her share of her husband's property. Offers of settlement have been made by ex-Judge Smith, of Elmira, who represents the second Mrs. Hallock and her three children. The matter will be heard in the courts of Tioga county in May.

The same cheerful spirit pervaded all the officers, and their eyes sparkled as they looked at their trim ship from stem to stern, ■aw what good order she was in and how capable she seemed of enduring the tightest squeezing that any too diminutive ico-lloc might inflict upon her. The officers and crew of the Bear include Lieut. W. H. Emory, commander; Lieut. F. H. Crosby, executive; Lieut. John R Col v. ell, navigator; Lieut. N. B. Ushler, Ensign L. K.

The roll of tho 496 delegates was then called, and each named his choice. The vot ing and the count occupied nearly two hours. The result was announced as follows, amid the wildest enthusiasm: Washington, April 2*-A large meeting of ex-Union and ex-Confoderate soldiers and citizens was held in the parlors of the National hotel last evening, to aid in raising funds for the building of a home for disabled ex-Confederate soldiers at Richmond, Va.

The Republican party of New York, in state convention represented, declares: First—Its confidence in the success of the Republican pnrty of the nation, under the standard bearers to be named by the Chicago convention of June 3, because of the necessity for the continuance of Republican administration of the affairs of the governnvmt, which Democratic inability and incapacity would Imperil, and becauso the forces of Republicanism throughout the land, embodying the superior intelligence and numbers of the people, are united hi suppo rt of the principles and policies indispensable to the republic's welfare. Second—Its great respect for President Chester A. Arthur, whose administration, began under circumstances of peculiar sadness, delicacy and embarrassments, has by its eminent prudence and sagacity commended itself to the esteem of the country, and as such receives the cordial acknowledgments of the Republicans of his own state. Resolutions were adopted providing for committees on credentials and permanent organization, and everything passed off smoothly until a resolution was offered proposing the appointment of a committee of three from each congressional district, with Senator Mahone as ex-ofltcio chairman, to whom was to bo referred all resolutions or propositions submitted to the convention, and who were to report a platform and a list of delegates to tho Chicago convention. This led to considerable discussion. It was eloquently endorsed by Congressman John A. Wiso and others, and was opposed by ex-Governor Lewis. Finally it was agreed to by apparently quite a large majority of voices. A recess was then taken to 8 p. M. Revisiting Battlefields. Washington,* April 24.—Oens.

PLAYING HANGING. JUttttoetttrnto. James W. Hopper David F. Porter, Silas D. Gilford, Alpheus Potts, sympathy for an InDolT«n«. Ballon Bojra Nearly Straugle the New York, April 34.—The assignment of John H. Deane, lawyer, and the largest building operator in this city, has roussd a deed of sympathy for that gentleman in banking and commercial circles. Mr. Deane was a member of the law firm of Deane & Chamberlain, No. 120 Broadway, but his present suspension is in no way connected with the affairs of the firm, the assignment being purely personal. Mr. Deane's generosity to the Baptist church is well known, he having been a prominent member of that denomination for some years, and his gifts to the church are said by bis friends to exceed (500,000. It is confidently expected by his many friends that if the estate is wound up the assets will exceed the liabilities by such an amount as to leave Mr. Deane a comparatively rich man. Easton, Pa., April 28.—On Tuesday rev eral boys met at a stable in the Fourth ward, talked about the hangiftg of John .Dillman, and then one of them suggested that they get up a mock execution just for the fun of it. The proposition was agreed to and a rope was procured. One lad was selerted to act as Dillman, another the hangman, and tho rest were to be the spectators. The rope was thrown across the beam and the noose tightly fastened around the "doomed" lad's neck. At a givan signal the "murderer" was drawn up and was almost strangled to death, when a young lady happened to pass the stable, saw him dangling in the air and cut him down. Several minutes later the boy was able to go to his home.' "Condemned'» In Fun.

A game somewhat similar was played by boys in West Bethlehem. Several lads of b to 13 years of age, while playing In a haymow, fastened a rope around the body of one of the party, and while the rest of the boys held on to the other end of it the little fellow was let down into a narrow, funnel-shaped box about twelve feet.

The Ohio Convention. Delegates Chosen. New York, April 34.—While on her way from New Orleans to this port the steamer Knickerbocker met with an accident which was fortunately attended with no disastrous consequences. She left New Orleans at 8 A. M., Wednesday, April 10, and enjoyed remarkably fine . weather during the whole voyage. Up to 4 a. m. on Sunday last everything was pleasant as could be, when it was found that in a short, choppy sea her rudder had broke off. Tho ship was at this time eighty miles south of Hatteras. After rigging up a jury rudder by means of planks and spars Capt. Kemble proceeded slowly toward this port. Off Sandy Hook she was met by tugs sent to her"* assistance, and in a few hours was safely moored to her dock. "A HANDFUL OF EARTH." Cleveland, April 24.—The Sherman- Blaine fight is waxing warmer. Tuesday night the Blaine men claimed the delegation, though the Sherman men are strong enough in the convention to prevent the passage of any instructions. Blaine's friends urge that Sherman will be an unknown quantity in the convention at Chicago, with scarce backing enough to receive the presentation of his name, and that when a break is made the Sherman delegates may go over to Arlhur. This argument has its effect. The sensation of the day was the action of the Cuyahcga delegation in throwing overboard ex-Coogressman Parsons and declaring its preference for Mark Hanna, the principal stockholder of The Cleveland Herald, for delegateat-large. Hanna was defeated last week in the district convention for congressional delegate.
