Unaccountable Suicide of k Y onng to Be la Imminent Danger. IjOifDOK, June 25.—Dispatches from Paris state that gnat alarm exists in every section of France oyer the outbreak of Cholera at Toulon. The cities adjacent to Toulon are believed to be in imminent danger, and their inhabitants are little short of panic stricken. Since Saturday last it is estimated tbM about ninety persons have fallen victims to the plague. All who can Jeave the ill-fated city are doing so, and unless there is a marked abatement of the malady the city promises to be deserted within a fortnight. It is now stated that the Toulon municipality explained the situation to the journalists of Toulon on Saturday, but they decided to keep the matter secret until Monday. A notice, however, was published suspending the educational course at the Tonlon Lycee and the pupils were sent to their homes. Measures of precaution were taken by the naval authorities and the sailing transport Entrepronante was arranged to receive sailors and marines. The crews of tho floet will be dbnt to enoomp at Saint Mandrier. In the town measures of precaution have also been organized by the mayor and municipal committee, and notices have been posted pnjscribing sanitary measures to be taken.'

Philamlphia, June 25.—The Evening ToleRi aph says: "A gentleman who has conversed with Gen. BWfer, vow in Washington, reports him as saying that Gov. Cleveland cannot be nominated at Chicago, because John Kelly will successfully oppose his nomination. Gen. Butler, according to this report, acted recently as a representative of Mr. Kelly in some arrangements in reference to the Hew York state convention, and professes to know that Mr. Kelly's demand for r cognition was made with conditions which Mr. Kelly supposed would be rejected According to Gen. Butler, Mr. Kelly was both surprised and disappointed at the acceptance ef his proposition; but in spite of the fact that all requests were granted he will ■' 111 do his best to defeat Mr. Cleveland in co ivention, and in the campaign if "lie does i lot succeed in convention. It would seem if all this is true, that Mr. Kelly and Gen. Hutler are in a combined opposition to Gov. ClefSland. That iV. j not hurt the governor's prospects as much as those gentlemen j -Jbly imagine." Columbus, O., June 96.—The Democratic convention which meets hare to-day promises to be one of the most important heM since the war, and tho hoavy duties with which it is charged are plainly visible-in the actions of the loaders. The most momentous matter to be disposed of is the selection of four delegates-at-large to Chicago who will reflect tho sentiment of the Btate as voiced by the Democracy in convention assembled. The city is lull of politicians and delegates arranging for the work of the day. Neither Thurman nor Pendleton are taking any part in tha convention work. The friends of Payne and Hoadly have captured the convention, and the delegates to Chicago representing the various districts will be selected with a view to the presentation of a solid front for either one or the other. Ngw York, June 25.—Residents in th« vicinity of Broadway and Tenth street wera alarmed at 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon by a dull rumbling sound, followed by a deafening crash. It was an avalanche of mortar, broken beams, large pieces of marble and other debris raining with teriflc force upon the roof of the old Grace courch, whose rising white steeple loomed far up above tlw mammoth buildings on the north and the late A. T. Stewart's colossal structure on thC south. Nxw York, June 25.—Monday afternoon Mrs. Annie Heaney, of Hew Haven, Conn., leaped evei4Doard from the steamer C. H. Northern, and was drowned before any attempt could be made tor her rescue. The young woman, who had only been married a*bout a year, arrived in this city on a visit to her mother, lbs. Corcoran, at No. 78 Mulberry street, on Sunday morning last. She appeared to enjoy the meeting with her relatives and friends immensely, and was in the best of spirits during her short stay. She had arranged to return home by the Northam, and Bhortly before the hour for its departure yesterday she bade her mother good-by aud started for the boat, accompanied by har friend, Miss Kate Shannon, who resides with Mrs. Ctorooran. Senator Logan's response was as follows: "Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the committee: I receive your visit with pleasure and accept with gratitude the sentiments you have so generally expressed in the discharge of the duty with wliich you have bees inti ustcd by the national Republican con- Fits: All lits stopped free by Dr. Tthi great nefve restorer .No fits after (Irtk day's u» i Marvelous cures- Treatise and $1.00. trai bottle gent free to fit oases.

"Intending to address you a formal communication shortly, in accordance with the recognized usage, it would be out of place to detain you at this time with remarks which properly belong po the official utterances of a letter of acceptanoo. Passers-by gazed up the tall spire in astonishment after the shower of falling materia) had ceased, and witnessed a thriving scene which almost caused their hearts to stop beating. Hanging by a projecting beam from a scaffolding around the steeple wai the form of a man swaying between heaven and earth 160 feet above the surface of the street. Wedged in Ijetween the spire and a mass of beams was another form, and with every creaking of broken timbers the excited crowd shuddered and closed their eyes, ai they expocted the frail support to give way and tho unfortunate men hurled to ■ terrible death. "I may be permitted to say, however, that though I did not seek the nomination of vico president, I accept as a trust reposed in the Republican party to the advancement of whose broad policy upon all question connected with the progress of our government people. I have dedicated my best energies, and with this acceptance, I may properly signify my approval of the platform of the principles adopted by the convention. Upon gettingD aboard the boat the friends went into\the cabin and became so engrossed in chatting over old tithes that the steamer's lines were cast off and the boat loft the wharf with Miss Shannon on board. We havo never heard of such marvelt. D■ cures of cougha in children and adults - pillon Cough Cure produces. You should ha; * a bottlo in yqur house iu case of need. A number of combinations and tioketa have been canvassed by the delegates. The names most prominently mentioned are those of John R. UcClean, Gen. George W. Morgan, W. Thompson and ex-Go v. Warwick, all of whom are warm friends of Sena tor Payne. Adjt.-Gen. Finley, Dan McCon▼llle, jr., and T. E. Powell are named as candidates for delegatsa-at-large by the Hoadly interest. So far the best of feeling has prevailed and harmony has characterised the proceedings. A few minutes before passing Fort Schuyler, Mrs. Heaney emerged from the cabin after having divested herself of her hat, collar and wraps without» word leaped headforemost over the guards into tho water. The piercing screams of Mrs. Shannon as she saw her friend disappear called the other passengers to the spot. In the wake of the steamer, some fathoms behind, tho head and-shoutders of this drowning girl, who was partially buoyod np .by her clothing, appeared upon the surface tor a moment, then sank from sight. The steamboat had been stopped and entry effort was mDde at rescue, but without avail. When that was found, impossible an attempt was made to recover her body, but in vain. When' last mvx upon the surface site seemed to maM no effort to save herself, nor did a single scream Issue from her lips. Mrs. Heaney was twenty-tfrree years of age, quite stout and very good looking. The cause of her suicide is a mystery, as she was devoted to her husband and had a happy home. She was full of plans for the future, and was the last one whom her friends would have dreamed of as taking her own life. The most probable assumption is that she was seized by an insane impulse which she found it impossible to resist. "Toulon has been in a bad sanitary condition for a long time.

Little has been done to remove tho causes of tho evil Proper sewers do not exist, and, the town being built on piles, many houses are built without drainage arrangement#.

The Voce del Espogne, one of the mest influential local Journals iu the republic, issued from the City of Mexico, editor illy says: "The triumph of the candidacy ( f Mr. Blaino involves a threat to the Latin race in America, and particularly'to Mexit i. It is known that Mr. Blaine is Jtachiavi llic and an ultra Mooroeist; thatjrtfris not le g sinoe he, bD union with Don Barrii i, conspired against our country. * His fall fi' .m the department of state saved our count) y from an international conflict, and to-daj the railroad which connects us with the great republic is more than ever a danger to ouivUidependence at all points.

Every Mexican should bo a soldier and prepare to defend his nationality. We should not lose s moment in preparing to dofend our dearest and most legitimate interest." BInxIean Opposition to Blaine. "Hold on. Don't let go!" they cried, and the man hanging to the beam heard their encouraging shouts and waved one hand feebly In return, while with tho other he clung tc his perilous support. Then slowly he crawled towards a small window a few feet under the beam and high up in the steeple. Warily he let himself down until his feet touched thu Sill, where willing hands were held out and helped him in. He was carried down a long ladder which ran inside of the spire to th( roof and his injurios attended to. He wai Joshua McKay, a derriek-riMsr, aged 88, and residing at No. 240 WsK Thirty-fifth street. "I am deeply sensible of the honor conferred upon me by my friends in so unanimously tendering me this nomination, and I sincerely thank them for this tribute. "I am not unmindful of the great responsibilities attaching to the office, and if elected I shall enter upon the performance of its duties with the firm conviction that he who has such an unanimous support of his party friends, as the oircumstances connected with the nomination and your own words, Mr. Chairman, indicate, and consequently such a wealth of counsel to draw upon, cannot fail in the proper minaonii of the duties committed to Him. Ralbiqh, Juno 25.—The Democratic state Convection assembles here to-day. Already there are the largest number of delegates ever In atteddanoe on a convention U) this dty. Tho oanteet far tho governorship is between Gen. Alfred M. Scalse, present member of oongress from the Greensboro district, and Capt. Octavius Coke, of this city. The indications point to the nomination of Scales. Charles M. Steadman, of New Hanover, wiU bo nominated for linutenant-governor, and W. L. Saunders wili be renominated for secretary of state. Tho other nominations will bo hotly contested. The general sentiment is for Cleveland for president.

The St Vincents arrived first on the scene and Surgeon Kelly bravely started on llie way up the long ladders to where tho suffering man lay. He had just reached the roof of the church when an immense boulder, weighing TOO pounds, crashed through the roof within two feet of him. Surgeon Kolly, not knowing what moment more might fall, retreated for a few minutes and Dr. Norton, oi the New York hospital, seized the opportunity to harften up the spiro and bandage ttw wounds of the injured man. The fifMnon and police were busily engaged in happing the crowd away from the vicinity of the building, where an occasional stone continued to drop in close proximity to the Broadway palement. The question of how to got Simpson down was a puzzling one. Tho life-saving corps, howover, wort equal to tho occasion. They climbed l,kc cats to tha ton of the steeple and arranged their lifo-savin* appliances. Then Simp-or. was carefully lowered by ropes to trool and fromfcare oonreyed to the New York hospital, whonoe McKay was also removed. After the exeltement had somewh it subsided a survey of tho AttlUMh was made, and it was found that tho {nocture had boon consid»aU» damaged.

One huge boulder had oontinued Its flight clear through tho floor, and was found lodged in the hasemoat after demolishing the pew of E.v-Gov, Kpffmv. Robert Simpson died at 8i8(i o'clock last evening. Ho was fastened out to the street, where several hundred of the best citizens of the placo were waiting to sue what would be done. It was proposod that he be hanged near tho jail, but the brute requested that ho hanged in sight of tho liouso where he killed his sweetheart. This proposition was met with deafening yells froqj the crowd, and he was hurried up to a convenient telegraph pole within a stone's throw »f the scene of the murder. Before the rope was drawn Canfleld was asked if he h#d anything to suy. He was weak and fainting It is generally conceded that the aqnts will cover the liaWXitiea of the compawr.

The latter, Mr. O'Reilly thinks, Would carty Massachusetts and Connecticut. Ab to Cleveland, the poet-editor very frankly declared that he did not think his candidacy would be beneficial to the party. "In fact, I believe that with him as our standard bearer," said Mr. O'Reilly, "wo would meet with disaster." » A Boston Editor for Butler. Philadelphia, Juno 25.—A dispatch from Washing ton to The Telegraph says that the opposition to Cleveland which has developed within a day or two in New York has given him a setbauk there. All he is wanted for or thought of as a candidate is the ability to beat Bl«,ine in Neff York. If now, according to local experts, this is very doubtful, he Vicomes thereby ineligible. Reports come here to the effect that he will be antagonized by labor organizations as well as by Tammaoy. and that any gain fie may secure through Republican support will be more than counterli^ancod ty Democratic defection. Tab decline in Cleveland's stock thivws the Democrats into a sort of panic. Tfrsj had rather taken it for granted that Cleveland was the appointed one and are now quite upset.

In speaking ef Mr. Randall, he said: "If Ragnhll to nominated Pennsylvania will be swept. There is no man who served the public with a greater sense of devotion than Randall. He would be unexceptionally strong in the states where the Democrats mostly need strengthening. New York, Connecticut and New Jersey. He has been in Congress twenty-flveyears, and in that time he has never come into possession of • dollar, except what came to him honestly as his salary. "The interests of the country, both industrial and manufacturing, oqpld not be more substantially gratified in the nomination of a man like Randall, whether be was elevated by either one party or the other. I have often heard it said in congress that Randall held more power as a leider in his little finger than any other congressman from Pennsylvania. As the political opponent of Blaine, bto nomination would emphasise the antagonism against that Republicanlna whiob Blaine typifies a# individual.

The cities adjacent to Toulon are believed to be in imminent danger, and their inhabitants are little short of panic stricken. Since Saturday last it is estimated tbM about ninety persons have fallen victims to the plague. All who can Jeave the ill-fated city are doing so, and unless there is a marked abatement of the malady the city promises to be deserted within a fortnight. It is now stated that the Toulon municipality explained the situation to the journalists of Toulon on Saturday, but they decided to keep the matter secret until Monday. A notice, however, was published suspending the educational course at the Tonlon Lycee and the pupils were sent to their homes. Measures of precaution were taken by the naval authorities and the sailing transport Entrepronante was arranged to receive sailors and marines.

Philamlphia, June 25.—The Evening ToleRi aph says: "A gentleman who has conversed with Gen. BWfer, vow in Washington, reports him as saying that Gov. Cleveland cannot be nominated at Chicago, because John Kelly will successfully oppose his nomination. Gen. Butler, according to this report, acted recently as a representative of Mr. Kelly in some arrangements in reference to the Hew York state convention, and professes to know that Mr. Kelly's demand for r cognition was made with conditions which Mr. Kelly supposed would be rejected According to Gen. Butler, Mr. Kelly was both surprised and disappointed at the acceptance ef his proposition; but in spite of the fact that all requests were granted he will ■' 111 do his best to defeat Mr. Cleveland in co ivention, and in the campaign if "lie does i lot succeed in convention. It would seem if all this is true, that Mr. Kelly and Gen. Hutler are in a combined opposition to Gov. ClefSland. That iV. j not hurt the governor's prospects as much as those gentlemen j -Jbly imagine." Columbus, O., June 96.—The Democratic convention which meets hare to-day promises to be one of the most important heM since the war, and tho hoavy duties with which it is charged are plainly visible-in the actions of the loaders. The most momentous matter to be disposed of is the selection of four delegates-at-large to Chicago who will reflect tho sentiment of the Btate as voiced by the Democracy in convention assembled. The city is lull of politicians and delegates arranging for the work of the day. Neither Thurman nor Pendleton are taking any part in tha convention work. The friends of Payne and Hoadly have captured the convention, and the delegates to Chicago representing the various districts will be selected with a view to the presentation of a solid front for either one or the other. Ngw York, June 25.—Residents in th« vicinity of Broadway and Tenth street wera alarmed at 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon by a dull rumbling sound, followed by a deafening crash. It was an avalanche of mortar, broken beams, large pieces of marble and other debris raining with teriflc force upon the roof of the old Grace courch, whose rising white steeple loomed far up above tlw mammoth buildings on the north and the late A. T. Stewart's colossal structure on thC south. Nxw York, June 25.—Monday afternoon Mrs. Annie Heaney, of Hew Haven, Conn., leaped evei4Doard from the steamer C. H. Northern, and was drowned before any attempt could be made tor her rescue. The young woman, who had only been married a*bout a year, arrived in this city on a visit to her mother, lbs. Corcoran, at No. 78 Mulberry street, on Sunday morning last. She appeared to enjoy the meeting with her relatives and friends immensely, and was in the best of spirits during her short stay. She had arranged to return home by the Northam, and Bhortly before the hour for its departure yesterday she bade her mother good-by aud started for the boat, accompanied by har friend, Miss Kate Shannon, who resides with Mrs. Ctorooran. Senator Logan's response was as follows: "Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the committee: I receive your visit with pleasure and accept with gratitude the sentiments you have so generally expressed in the discharge of the duty with wliich you have bees inti ustcd by the national Republican con- Fits: All lits stopped free by Dr. Tthi great nefve restorer .No fits after (Irtk day's u» i Marvelous cures- Treatise and $1.00. trai bottle gent free to fit oases.

Passers-by gazed up the tall spire in astonishment after the shower of falling materia) had ceased, and witnessed a thriving scene which almost caused their hearts to stop beating. Hanging by a projecting beam from a scaffolding around the steeple wai the form of a man swaying between heaven and earth 160 feet above the surface of the street. Wedged in Ijetween the spire and a mass of beams was another form, and with every creaking of broken timbers the excited crowd shuddered and closed their eyes, ai they expocted the frail support to give way and tho unfortunate men hurled to ■ terrible death. "I may be permitted to say, however, that though I did not seek the nomination of vico president, I accept as a trust reposed in the Republican party to the advancement of whose broad policy upon all question connected with the progress of our government people. I have dedicated my best energies, and with this acceptance, I may properly signify my approval of the platform of the principles adopted by the convention. Upon gettingD aboard the boat the friends went into\the cabin and became so engrossed in chatting over old tithes that the steamer's lines were cast off and the boat loft the wharf with Miss Shannon on board. We havo never heard of such marvelt. D■ cures of cougha in children and adults - pillon Cough Cure produces. You should ha; * a bottlo in yqur house iu case of need. A number of combinations and tioketa have been canvassed by the delegates. The names most prominently mentioned are those of John R. UcClean, Gen. George W. Morgan, W. Thompson and ex-Go v. Warwick, all of whom are warm friends of Sena tor Payne. Adjt.-Gen. Finley, Dan McCon▼llle, jr., and T. E. Powell are named as candidates for delegatsa-at-large by the Hoadly interest. So far the best of feeling has prevailed and harmony has characterised the proceedings. A few minutes before passing Fort Schuyler, Mrs. Heaney emerged from the cabin after having divested herself of her hat, collar and wraps without» word leaped headforemost over the guards into tho water. The piercing screams of Mrs. Shannon as she saw her friend disappear called the other passengers to the spot. In the wake of the steamer, some fathoms behind, tho head and-shoutders of this drowning girl, who was partially buoyod np .by her clothing, appeared upon the surface tor a moment, then sank from sight. The steamboat had been stopped and entry effort was mDde at rescue, but without avail. When that was found, impossible an attempt was made to recover her body, but in vain. When' last mvx upon the surface site seemed to maM no effort to save herself, nor did a single scream Issue from her lips. Mrs. Heaney was twenty-tfrree years of age, quite stout and very good looking. The cause of her suicide is a mystery, as she was devoted to her husband and had a happy home. She was full of plans for the future, and was the last one whom her friends would have dreamed of as taking her own life. The most probable assumption is that she was seized by an insane impulse which she found it impossible to resist. "Toulon has been in a bad sanitary condition for a long time. The authorities, however, hare been negligent and havo contended themselves with the local shifting* of troop*. Little has been done to remove tho causes of tho evil Proper sewers do not exist, and, the town being built on piles, many houses are built without drainage arrangement#.

"Hold on. Don't let go!" they cried, and the man hanging to the beam heard their encouraging shouts and waved one hand feebly In return, while with tho other he clung tc his perilous support. Then slowly he crawled towards a small window a few feet under the beam and high up in the steeple. Warily he let himself down until his feet touched thu Sill, where willing hands were held out and helped him in. He was carried down a long ladder which ran inside of the spire to th( roof and his injurios attended to. He wai Joshua McKay, a derriek-riMsr, aged 88, and residing at No. 240 WsK Thirty-fifth street. "I am deeply sensible of the honor conferred upon me by my friends in so unanimously tendering me this nomination, and I sincerely thank them for this tribute. "I am not unmindful of the great responsibilities attaching to the office, and if elected I shall enter upon the performance of its duties with the firm conviction that he who has such an unanimous support of his party friends, as the oircumstances connected with the nomination and your own words, Mr. Chairman, indicate, and consequently such a wealth of counsel to draw upon, cannot fail in the proper minaonii of the duties committed to Him.
