Wabhihoton, July 8.—The senate received i menage from the house announcing non- Donoarrenoe in the senate amendment to the bill making temporary provision tor the naval service.

This scfrAne was the last resort to beat Cleveland. It had been thought over carefully, and at a meeting of the an ti-Cleveland loaders this proposition was made: "Cleveland has now forty-five delegates. They are a majority, and can go into sew ion and without us vote to have the vote of the entire delegation cast for Cleveland. We, as the minority, will have no voice. W« must resolve on some plan to go into the convention and show that the state is not unanimous for Cleveland. The only way open is to break the unit rule." NEW YOEKTO VOTE AS AUNIT All In Readiness. On motion of Mr. Bayard a vote of thanks was given to Mr. Edmunds for the ability, courtesy and impartiality with which he had performed the duties of the president pro tempore. Mr. Allison, chairman of the appropriation committee, summarised the work of congress on the appropriation bills. He 6ald the whole amount of thi9 year's bill* in excess of last wai $33,000,000. Tho excess arose largely from tho fact that last year we had no river and harbor bill, while this year that bill amounted to $15,000,000. The total appropriations this year wera $193,301,- 087.18. In respect to one or two" features of the naval bill this amount was estimated, but the variation would probably be less than $300,900 from the amount he had mimtionnd. This aggregate did not include reappropriations, which for pensions alone tl i i year amounted to $86,000,000, raising tho aggregate to $350,301,067.13. After a few remarks by Mr. Edmunds, the senate adjourned at 8 o'clock. The convention hull 1« now completed Mid In readiness for the opening. The north futd south ends, which are reserved lor Invited guests, are cot off from all communication with the square space in the centre devoted to-de legates and alternates. Solid board partition Ave ft* high effect this result, and are too high to climb onr and contain no opening. There is only one entrance for the delegates. This door is nearly in the centre of the bnilding. Mid through it the delegates and alternates reach their seats, and they cannot possibly got anywhere else than in the space allotted to them. The members of the press enter at the saihe point. The press tables are on an inclined plane, running from a level with the speakers' stage downward The delegate seats are plush-covered opera chairs, while those of the altarns|m which are separated from the delegates by a three-foot fence, are plain. The decorations are completed. They ate quite handsome. Above the stags a mammoth flag of the nation is draped in large folds, with smallerflag.i for borders. Pictures of Washington, Jefferson, Andrew Jackson and Horatio Seymour are placed upon them. The full length of the galleries are decora ted with stripes of red, white and blue, with the shields of the various states taking up the loops, and vary large national flags unfurled at Intervals of twenty feet from each rafter the entire circumference ot the building. Nbw Yore, July 8.—Flames shot over the housetops on Spring and Elm streets, yesterday, and people came running te the quarters of Engine No. 90 on the next block above, crying that a rear tenement house was burning, and that a score of t'10 tenants were shut up in tba building by the staircase being on fire. When the firemen reached No. 310 Elm street, behind which is a five-story tenement occupied by ten families, a wild see no of excitement and dismal was being enacted on the fire-escape balconics above Hie second floor. Her 72 Votes to be Cast for In 1789 was organized the "Society of Tammany or Columbian Order," and the mqpi who stood sponsor for it were Aaron Burr and the other ardent Republicans of whom Jefferson was the head, and who apposed the plots of the Federals to pervert the new republic into a limited monarchy. These latter had already founded the aristouratiB wuirty of the "Cincinnati," and to this the new Tammany society was an offset It was named Tammany after the well known and talented chief who had federated the thirteen Indian tribes of the state of New York under one government; and oo this Tammany's organization was made to consist of a council of thirteen sachems, the number of original states as well as of the New York tribes. [Croffut's Letter.] Gorernor Cleveland. KB. TILDEN AGAIN DECLINES. meeting of the state delegation. Equipped with this plan the Tammany and Flower delegates went into the meeting of the state delegation.

Payne k now practically considered out of the race, tl tough prominent at one time as a presidential possibility. Tho windows of the second story were biasing, and the lire, which had rushed up the staircase, was blazing fiercely out on the roof. A young man named Thomas Vaughn, who llvis 1ir thd neighborhood, had C*tambe«vd to the fourth story, where an Italian's family named Fasqua were standing panio-stricken on the fire-escape balcony, and had assisted Jennie Pasqua, a girl of 1#, to the roof. Thoy stood on the roof, deterred by th«D flames mounting through the skylight from seeking a refuge on an adjoining building on ; Crosby street, and both came close to the coping apparently ready to jump to the ground below. Finally tHe cries of tbo people in the neighboring yards capsod the young man to lead his companion to the windward of the flames, and both were soon safe in the Crosby street building.

Dark Horace uo'i Spoken Of. The general situation is practically onchanged, except that Cleveland probably has added considerably to his strength during tho day. It is now certainly Cleveland against the field, with the chances more in favor of the former than at any time heretofore. The Indiana delegation are urging McDonald for first place, and. claim that in the event of a break they will be sure to succeed. The final formal vote was exactly like this. On the second vote there was an abandonment of Flower, nobody but Jacobs, of Kings county voting for him. For Bayard: Belmont, Grady, Bowers, Kelly, O'])ouohue, McQuado, Miller and Town solid voted. For Slocum: Faulkner, Dowling, Stahltnecker, Sand ford, Murphy, Hamilton, Stevens, Moore, Danforth, Sears, Brewster, Galop, Purcell, Gerling anu Lcary voted. It stood 47 for Cleveland, 2f against. Tammany is and1 always has been a secret society as much as the Masons, having Mi grips, signs, passwords, and other mysterious tokens. It is a benevolent society for mutual assistance, and was organised under the charity society act of the state of Nev York. Washington, July 7.—In the absence of Speaker Carllfle, who started at 3 o'clock yesterday morning for Chicago, the House was called to order by tho clerk, and on motion of Mr. Randall Hon. J. C. 8. Blackburn of Kentucky was elected temporary speaker. The organization of the Tarn many society is made up of over 1,100 members, wpiwwt ing twenty-four assembly districts, and has ono member for every 100 Democratic total cast in the several districts. The society thus stands fairly for the Democratic vote of the city. Its executive business is transacted by a committee of organisation, which nrmsirts of sixteen members from eacB district. Each district, moreover, has a leader, seW conati tuted, or rocognized by tacit consent, ml these leaders are the real managers of Tammany, and responsible to It for affairs in their respective districts. Messrs. Randall, Turner of Geoejia, and Hiscock, who were appointed a committee te wait upon the president and ascertain whether he had any farther communication! to make to the House, performed that duty and announced that the president had no farther communication to make. On the other hand the Randall and Bayard men are confident that if a break should come, their respective candidate* wijl be looked to in preference to a western man. The speculation respecting i the Bayard- McDonald ticket heretofore' inferred to continues, and this is conceded on all hands to be the most favorable combination that could be mado, except perhaps that of Randall and McDonald. Either Randall or Bayard appears to be well thought of by all the delegates, and it is safe to say that the New York delegation, if it is found that Cleveland cannot rally strength enough to secure the nomination, will cheerfully support either one of those gentlemen who can master strength to warrant it Dark horses are not spoken of. After this vote a few opponents of Clove' land.began to leave tho room. Tammany fought against the unit rule, but Jacobs, an anti-Cleveland delegate, spoke in favor of it, saying that the Tammany men who were now opposing it were its stauncliest friends in the Saratoga convention. It was not honest, he claimed, for Kelly to urge the unit rule at Saratoga when he thought Kings County was with him, but to oppose it at Chicago when he found Kings County against him. The secomf ballot stood 47 for Cleveland, 15 for Slocum, # for Bayard, and 1 for Tilden. The delegation then adjourned, to meet again at 4 o'clock. A number of the other tenants were clambering down, but there iitill remained others on the HlMMtpes when the fireman ran into theyard. Twojwere women and one wasQa fat olcriCallan, the grandfather of Jennie Pasqua, who stood on the balcony of the fourth floor hugging a small basket to his breast He was unwilling to part with the basket, which, ft is said, contained his savings, and could not deeoen l the fire-escape while encumbered with it A woman with a child in , her arms was standing on the same balcony, overcome with terror, and another was on the eeeape on the floor below ready to jump for her life. Fireman Wray and Firemen Farley went to the assistance of the woman, and after they had landed both safely in the yard they ascended again and brought down the old Italiau with his basket. The House then passed a number of pension bills which had already been passed by the Senate, and at 8 o'clock pi m. Mr. Black* burn declared the House adjourned. THE DREAD DISEASE. John Kelly is not, as is generally supposed, the nominal chief of Tammany; he is merely the actual chief, and is numbered among the thirteen subordinate sachems. He is looked mm by his followers with a respect and admiration akin to reverence; and Ideabt if such a feeling could be inspired in so many men by anything short of sterling qualities. MM One-hair of the Bnlks Believed OROVER CtXVETAND te be Reported. New York, July 8.—A special to The World, dated 1 A. ¥., says: The action of the New York delegation is the oveut of the day. Gov. Cleveland has forty-nine votes, more than two-thirds. Gov. Cleveland certainly will receive the seventy-two votes of New York and all the votes of New England except Massnchusctte, and after the first ballot be will receive most of those of Massachusetts. He will have part of tho delega tion from Georgia, South Carolina, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Wisconsin," Michigan, Nebraska, Illinois, Minnesota and a larger if not the larger part of the scattering vote of states that have no candidate) of their own, Thuiman wjll be prasentod by Califol-nlf, but it is settled beyond a doubt that he will get but a small vote from Ohio. The majority of the Ohio delegates wfll vote for Hoadly. McDonnld will get about seventy-five vote* from Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois. Bayard will have the votes of Delaware, most of thoso of Maryland, all of North Carolina's, a few from Houth Carolina, most of Mississippi, part of Ueorgia and Texas, and scattering votes In the south generally. Randall will have tho v*ts of Pennsylvania, and scattering votes In West Virginia and other southern delegations. This will protiiably give him about 100 vote*- It is as certain as anything can bo that Mr. Cleveland cannot have a majority on the first ballot, but tho chances are that unless the opposition to him should intensify lie will, after some balloting, get enough of the Randall, Hoadly and Bayard vote to five him the nomination. In any event the battle lias got to be won. Pajuh, July 8.—Despite the official reports showing thirteen deaths from cholsra at Marseilles, it transpires that the actual number is twenty-seven. It is believed that the Toulon report does not indicate more than half the number of deaths that havo occurred in that city during the past twentyfour hours. i - At 4 o'clock the caucus re-assembled, and tho discussiort on the unit rule was renewed with great vigor. After a long debate, a resolution was adopted by 61 to 11 that the 72 votes of New York state shall be cast in the convention for Cleveland. An amendment to tho resolution was offered by Mr. rowel's, and also adopted, that when the vote is given as a unit a statement shall aoconipar\y it to the effect that the delegation is not unanimous in its preferences, Slid that tho vote on supporting Cleveland stood as follows: Cleveland, 41); Slocum, 18; Bayard, 9; Flower, 1. It was only on condition of this statement being made that Mr. Kelly gave his consent to the 72 votes being cast together. Mr. John H. Mooney, one of Mr. Kelly's most intimate confidants, said tnat Mr. Ko|ly pronounce® tho antl-Cleveland stredgtli by no means broken, and he hopes to go into the convention and defeat the governor. The New York delegation, Mr. Kelly still believes, will go for Bayard. The Tammany leader hoped much from a conference to bo held of supporters of Bayard, Butler and other prominent candidates with a view to uniting the opposition to Cleveland. Mr. Mooney believed that the North Carolina delegation, which came instructed for Cleveland, had determined to come out solidly against him. TO CAST THE VOTE FOR CLEVELAND. Mate Delegations Organised. . The several state delegations met and organized as follows: Pennsylvania—Eckley C. Cox, for national committoo; Malcolm Hay, resolutions. Iowa—M. M. Ham, national committee; E. H. Thayer, resolutions. In appearance John Kelly is not unlike Gen. Grant. Like Grant he has a square face, a square chin, a square, broad head, square shoulders, and class his hair and beard like Grant, and turns gray like Grant, and he speaks in a slow voicc like Grant I hear that Gnat and Kelly hare been mistaken for one another upon the street Bhoi'tly afterward hook and ladder arrived, attd as It was almost impossible to expeditiously bring a ladder through the front house, the life saving corps of the company buckled on their life-saving belts and I carried their scaling laddei* thto the yard. A chain of ladders was quickly built up the front of the houso, and the firemen sqprched every room to satisfy themselves that all the oooupanta had made good their eeqape. With the water from three hcee lines the fire was soon extinguished, after it had caused a loas of about (1,000 to tho building and the furniture of the occupants. The fire started in the rooms and workshop of Levi Goldstein, a capmaker, occupied the half of the second floor, and ho is the heaviest losef among the tenants.

There wefe twenty-five •f them, and they issued protest against Grover Cleveland's candidacy. In it they brought out with very strong emphasis the itatement that he could not carry New York; that be would lose the state to the Republicans by a clean majority of 100,000 votes; anil that anyman the convention might name, whether ue should be Flower/Bayard, Randall or some western man, would be more acceptable to tin rank and file of the New_York Democracy than Cleveland. The Temporary Chairmen Texas—A. T. Holt, national committee; D. C. Geddings, resolutions. They ars uncertain over candidates. The national Democratic oxecutivo committee have met and selected Gov. Hubbard, of Texas, as temporary cboirmun of the convention. thought that Col, Vilas, of Wisconsin, would be the choice of the committee for the office, but there was no contest over tho matter, and Gov. Hubbard was the unanimous selection. He is a man of line physique, powerful voice, and is said to lie a skilful parliamentarian, in addition to which he has the power of keeping a large assemblage in order. Gov. Hubbard will probably be replaced when the time comes for the election of a permanent chairman by Allan G. Thurman, of Ohio. Pisttburg, Pa., July 8.—The Time* apecial from Krie, Pa., saj»: "Mr*.

I., July 8.—The Newport News, the only daily in the city, has contracted for and is now being served with the United Press report. The Massachusetts delegation are said to be solid for Butler, except in the oase ol Mr. Prince. It is understood that Prince will challenge Gen. Butler's vote on account of his being a candidate on the Labor and Greenback ticket, and therefore unable to pledge himself for the nominee of the convention. It is said that when this bccurs Mr. Butler will deliver a vigorous speech in defense of his position. The delegation organized by electing tho following officers and members of committees; Chairman, the Hon. J. G. Abbott; secietary. W. Coveny; organization, John W. Cummings; credentials, John W.

Th« contents were saved and buildings partly saved. The fire was undoubtedly incendiary, and is attributed to a bitter feeling engendered by a recant change of postmasters. Under the head "Make no Mistake" some weighty arguments set forth in an anti- Cleveland publication received the maoting's endorsement. The Presiding Officer, The Tim* thinks that Cleveland will secure the nomination at Chicago If be can weather the opposition of John Kelly and Tammany Hall. Should Mr. Tildeo, however, show a desire to reconsider his declination and Ijecome the candidate it will be "all up" with Cleveland. Hit KELLY'S RESOLUTION. It is generally conceded that the convention will need a master hand to control it. There will bo very little figuring for candidates for the position. There are no great contests to be settled. There will be no moment when one candidate or another can gain a decisive point by holding the sympathy of the presiding officer. Consequently the only consideration in the selection will be to got the best man. There is a very loud call for the selection of Allan G. Thurman. He would command the respect and consideration of the delegates. But Thurman is on the cards to present the name of Senator Bayard. It is not unlikely that if Thurmau finds it inexpedient to act that Vilas, of Wisconsin, will be made the providing officer. Then Kelly submitted a resolution which will cause a revolution in the convention. It states that: American Securltlee la baBira. Pitlston and Vicinty.

Whereas, In a contest such as tho New York state Democracy is now engaged in the unit rule in the convention makes it impossible for delegates in the to represent the wishes of their constituency; the unit ■ nle is an unjust measure, since it denies the exereise of individual and personal preferences, and that therefore they are resolved to oppose the unit rule in the meeting of the New York delegation, and that, if it is in effective to prevent the choice of a man for Democratic candidate for president who cannot carry his own state, the fight be then taken into the national convention. THE ONLY WAV TO DEFEAT CLEVELAND. In a speech John Kelly said that this measure was the only way to defeat Cleveland. With the Kings county delegation for him ha would have forty-five delegates. They were a majority and sufficient without a two-thirds rule to vote for the delegation, the vote being cast as a unit Mr. Kelly said that the national convention of ISfiS ordained that the unit rule could be dispensed with at any time at£be option of any subsequent national convention. The resolution was promptly carried to oppose the unit rule and endeavor to defeat it in the delegation. A. Resolution was adopted that if the Cleveland men were too many in the state meeting anil voted down a resolution for a two-thirds The Ohio Delegation We have the moat complete line of furnaces in Our ware rooms that 4iM" ever been shown in any bouse in the .State, comprising over twenty sizes and styles.

A prominent delegate Aatoe the probable standing as follows: Hoadly, SO; Itiurman, 14, and the other two for Cleveland. No voteon this question was taken in the dele* gation however, and nothing definite can be said as to how they will staftd. Mr. McLean was unanimously elected chairman of the delegation, but it is said that this was dons on the promise from McLean that he would not claim it as a victory for his views.

Wabhihoton, July 8.—The senate received i menage from the house announcing non- Donoarrenoe in the senate amendment to the bill making temporary provision tor the naval service. The amendment provided for continuing work on the monitor Monad nock. After some debate the senate receded from the amendment John Kelly's Personal Appa The Grand Sachem.

This scfrAne was the last resort to beat Cleveland. It had been thought over carefully, and at a meeting of the an ti-Cleveland loaders this proposition was made: "Cleveland has now forty-five delegates. They are a majority, and can go into sew ion and without us vote to have the vote of the entire delegation cast for Cleveland. We, as the minority, will have no voice. W« must resolve on some plan to go into the convention and show that the state is not unanimous for Cleveland. The only way open is to break the unit rule." NEW YOEKTO VOTE AS AUNIT All In Readiness. On motion of Mr. Bayard a vote of thanks was given to Mr. Edmunds for the ability, courtesy and impartiality with which he had performed the duties of the president pro tempore. Mr. Allison, chairman of the appropriation committee, summarised the work of congress on the appropriation bills. He 6ald the whole amount of thi9 year's bill* in excess of last wai $33,000,000. Tho excess arose largely from tho fact that last year we had no river and harbor bill, while this year that bill amounted to $15,000,000. The total appropriations this year wera $193,301,- 087.18. In respect to one or two" features of the naval bill this amount was estimated, but the variation would probably be less than $300,900 from the amount he had mimtionnd. This aggregate did not include reappropriations, which for pensions alone tl i i year amounted to $86,000,000, raising tho aggregate to $350,301,067.13. After a few remarks by Mr. Edmunds, the senate adjourned at 8 o'clock. The convention hull 1« now completed Mid In readiness for the opening. The north futd south ends, which are reserved lor Invited guests, are cot off from all communication with the square space in the centre devoted to-de legates and alternates. Solid board partition Ave ft* high effect this result, and are too high to climb onr and contain no opening. There is only one entrance for the delegates. This door is nearly in the centre of the bnilding. Mid through it the delegates and alternates reach their seats, and they cannot possibly got anywhere else than in the space allotted to them. The members of the press enter at the saihe point. The press tables are on an inclined plane, running from a level with the speakers' stage downward The delegate seats are plush-covered opera chairs, while those of the altarns|m which are separated from the delegates by a three-foot fence, are plain. The decorations are completed. They ate quite handsome. Above the stags a mammoth flag of the nation is draped in large folds, with smallerflag.i for borders. Pictures of Washington, Jefferson, Andrew Jackson and Horatio Seymour are placed upon them. The full length of the galleries are decora ted with stripes of red, white and blue, with the shields of the various states taking up the loops, and vary large national flags unfurled at Intervals of twenty feet from each rafter the entire circumference ot the building. Nbw Yore, July 8.—Flames shot over the housetops on Spring and Elm streets, yesterday, and people came running te the quarters of Engine No. 90 on the next block above, crying that a rear tenement house was burning, and that a score of t'10 tenants were shut up in tba building by the staircase being on fire. When the firemen reached No. 310 Elm street, behind which is a five-story tenement occupied by ten families, a wild see no of excitement and dismal was being enacted on the fire-escape balconics above Hie second floor. Her 72 Votes to be Cast for In 1789 was organized the "Society of Tammany or Columbian Order," and the mqpi who stood sponsor for it were Aaron Burr and the other ardent Republicans of whom Jefferson was the head, and who apposed the plots of the Federals to pervert the new republic into a limited monarchy. These latter had already founded the aristouratiB wuirty of the "Cincinnati," and to this the new Tammany society was an offset It was named Tammany after the well known and talented chief who had federated the thirteen Indian tribes of the state of New York under one government; and oo this Tammany's organization was made to consist of a council of thirteen sachems, the number of original states as well as of the New York tribes. [Croffut's Letter.] Gorernor Cleveland. KB. TILDEN AGAIN DECLINES. meeting of the state delegation. Equipped with this plan the Tammany and Flower delegates went into the meeting of the state delegation.

Canctia of the New York Delegation. Tho Presiding OlBcer—Who will he Temporary CU«lrw»n-nittler's Vote to be Challenged. * The Unit Rule—No Dark HENRY B. DAY!OS. Henry B. Payne k now practically considered out of the race, tl tough prominent at one time as a presidential possibility. Tho windows of the second story were biasing, and the lire, which had rushed up the staircase, was blazing fiercely out on the roof. A young man named Thomas Vaughn, who llvis 1ir thd neighborhood, had C*tambe«vd to the fourth story, where an Italian's family named Fasqua were standing panio-stricken on the fire-escape balcony, and had assisted Jennie Pasqua, a girl of 1#, to the roof. Thoy stood on the roof, deterred by th«D flames mounting through the skylight from seeking a refuge on an adjoining building on ; Crosby street, and both came close to the coping apparently ready to jump to the ground below. Finally tHe cries of tbo people in the neighboring yards capsod the young man to lead his companion to the windward of the flames, and both were soon safe in the Crosby street building. ' HortetuYel—ThurD man In the Field. RESULT ok tiie vote. After organization an informal voto was taken as to choice of candidates, as follows: For Clovoland, 47;Flower, 22; scattering, 8. Dark Horace uo'i Spoken Of. The general situation is practically onchanged, except that Cleveland probably has added considerably to his strength during tho day. It is now certainly Cleveland against the field, with the chances more in favor of the former than at any time heretofore. The Indiana delegation are urging McDonald for first place, and. claim that in the event of a break they will be sure to succeed. The final formal vote was exactly like this. On the second vote there was an abandonment of Flower, nobody but Jacobs, of Kings county voting for him. For Bayard: Belmont, Grady, Bowers, Kelly, O'])ouohue, McQuado, Miller and Town solid voted. For Slocum: Faulkner, Dowling, Stahltnecker, Sand ford, Murphy, Hamilton, Stevens, Moore, Danforth, Sears, Brewster, Galop, Purcell, Gerling anu Lcary voted. It stood 47 for Cleveland, 2f against. Tammany is and1 always has been a secret society as much as the Masons, having Mi grips, signs, passwords, and other mysterious tokens. It is a benevolent society for mutual assistance, and was organised under the charity society act of the state of Nev York. Washington, July 7.—In the absence of Speaker Carllfle, who started at 3 o'clock yesterday morning for Chicago, the House was called to order by tho clerk, and on motion of Mr. Randall Hon. J. C. 8. Blackburn of Kentucky was elected temporary speaker. The organization of the Tarn many society is made up of over 1,100 members, wpiwwt ing twenty-four assembly districts, and has ono member for every 100 Democratic total cast in the several districts. The society thus stands fairly for the Democratic vote of the city. Its executive business is transacted by a committee of organisation, which nrmsirts of sixteen members from eacB district. Each district, moreover, has a leader, seW conati tuted, or rocognized by tacit consent, ml these leaders are the real managers of Tammany, and responsible to It for affairs in their respective districts. Messrs. Randall, Turner of Geoejia, and Hiscock, who were appointed a committee te wait upon the president and ascertain whether he had any farther communication! to make to the House, performed that duty and announced that the president had no farther communication to make. On the other hand the Randall and Bayard men are confident that if a break should come, their respective candidate* wijl be looked to in preference to a western man. The speculation respecting i the Bayard- McDonald ticket heretofore' inferred to continues, and this is conceded on all hands to be the most favorable combination that could be mado, except perhaps that of Randall and McDonald. Either Randall or Bayard appears to be well thought of by all the delegates, and it is safe to say that the New York delegation, if it is found that Cleveland cannot rally strength enough to secure the nomination, will cheerfully support either one of those gentlemen who can master strength to warrant it Dark horses are not spoken of. After this vote a few opponents of Clove' land.began to leave tho room. Tammany fought against the unit rule, but Jacobs, an anti-Cleveland delegate, spoke in favor of it, saying that the Tammany men who were now opposing it were its stauncliest friends in the Saratoga convention. It was not honest, he claimed, for Kelly to urge the unit rule at Saratoga when he thought Kings County was with him, but to oppose it at Chicago when he found Kings County against him. The secomf ballot stood 47 for Cleveland, 15 for Slocum, # for Bayard, and 1 for Tilden. The delegation then adjourned, to meet again at 4 o'clock. A number of the other tenants were clambering down, but there iitill remained others on the HlMMtpes when the fireman ran into theyard. Twojwere women and one wasQa fat olcriCallan, the grandfather of Jennie Pasqua, who stood on the balcony of the fourth floor hugging a small basket to his breast He was unwilling to part with the basket, which, ft is said, contained his savings, and could not deeoen l the fire-escape while encumbered with it A woman with a child in , her arms was standing on the same balcony, overcome with terror, and another was on the eeeape on the floor below ready to jump for her life. Fireman Wray and Firemen Farley went to the assistance of the woman, and after they had landed both safely in the yard they ascended again and brought down the old Italiau with his basket. The House then passed a number of pension bills which had already been passed by the Senate, and at 8 o'clock pi m. Mr. Black* burn declared the House adjourned. THE DREAD DISEASE. John Kelly is not, as is generally supposed, the nominal chief of Tammany; he is merely the actual chief, and is numbered among the thirteen subordinate sachems. He is looked mm by his followers with a respect and admiration akin to reverence; and Ideabt if such a feeling could be inspired in so many men by anything short of sterling qualities. MM One-hair of the Bnlks Believed OROVER CtXVETAND te be Reported. New York, July 8.—A special to The World, dated 1 A. ¥., says: The action of the New York delegation is the oveut of the day. Gov. Cleveland has forty-nine votes, more than two-thirds. Gov. Cleveland certainly will receive the seventy-two votes of New York and all the votes of New England except Massnchusctte, and after the first ballot be will receive most of those of Massachusetts. He will have part of tho delega tion from Georgia, South Carolina, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Wisconsin," Michigan, Nebraska, Illinois, Minnesota and a larger if not the larger part of the scattering vote of states that have no candidate) of their own, Thuiman wjll be prasentod by Califol-nlf, but it is settled beyond a doubt that he will get but a small vote from Ohio. The majority of the Ohio delegates wfll vote for Hoadly. McDonnld will get about seventy-five vote* from Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois. Bayard will have the votes of Delaware, most of thoso of Maryland, all of North Carolina's, a few from Houth Carolina, most of Mississippi, part of Ueorgia and Texas, and scattering votes In the south generally. Randall will have tho v*ts of Pennsylvania, and scattering votes In West Virginia and other southern delegations. This will protiiably give him about 100 vote*- It is as certain as anything can bo that Mr. Cleveland cannot have a majority on the first ballot, but tho chances are that unless the opposition to him should intensify lie will, after some balloting, get enough of the Randall, Hoadly and Bayard vote to five him the nomination. In any event the battle lias got to be won. Pajuh, July 8.—Despite the official reports showing thirteen deaths from cholsra at Marseilles, it transpires that the actual number is twenty-seven. It is believed that the Toulon report does not indicate more than half the number of deaths that havo occurred in that city during the past twentyfour hours. i - At 4 o'clock the caucus re-assembled, and tho discussiort on the unit rule was renewed with great vigor. After a long debate, a resolution was adopted by 61 to 11 that the 72 votes of New York state shall be cast in the convention for Cleveland. An amendment to tho resolution was offered by Mr. rowel's, and also adopted, that when the vote is given as a unit a statement shall aoconipar\y it to the effect that the delegation is not unanimous in its preferences, Slid that tho vote on supporting Cleveland stood as follows: Cleveland, 41); Slocum, 18; Bayard, 9; Flower, 1. It was only on condition of this statement being made that Mr. Kelly gave his consent to the 72 votes being cast together. Mr. John H. Mooney, one of Mr. Kelly's most intimate confidants, said tnat Mr. Ko|ly pronounce® tho antl-Cleveland stredgtli by no means broken, and he hopes to go into the convention and defeat the governor. The New York delegation, Mr. Kelly still believes, will go for Bayard. The Tammany leader hoped much from a conference to bo held of supporters of Bayard, Butler and other prominent candidates with a view to uniting the opposition to Cleveland. Mr. Mooney believed that the North Carolina delegation, which came instructed for Cleveland, had determined to come out solidly against him. TO CAST THE VOTE FOR CLEVELAND. Mate Delegations Organised. . The several state delegations met and organized as follows: Pennsylvania—Eckley C. Cox, for national committoo; Malcolm Hay, resolutions. Iowa—M. M. Ham, national committee; E. H. Thayer, resolutions. In appearance John Kelly is not unlike Gen. Grant. Like Grant he has a square face, a square chin, a square, broad head, square shoulders, and class his hair and beard like Grant, and turns gray like Grant, and he speaks in a slow voicc like Grant I hear that Gnat and Kelly hare been mistaken for one another upon the street Bhoi'tly afterward hook and ladder arrived, attd as It was almost impossible to expeditiously bring a ladder through the front house, the life saving corps of the company buckled on their life-saving belts and I carried their scaling laddei* thto the yard. A chain of ladders was quickly built up the front of the houso, and the firemen sqprched every room to satisfy themselves that all the oooupanta had made good their eeqape. With the water from three hcee lines the fire was soon extinguished, after it had caused a loas of about (1,000 to tho building and the furniture of the occupants. The fire started in the rooms and workshop of Levi Goldstein, a capmaker, occupied the half of the second floor, and ho is the heaviest losef among the tenants. Berlin, July a.—Dr. Kock'e report and expression of opinion that the oholera will extend into Germany has created a semipanic on the Berlin Bourse.

There wefe twenty-five •f them, and they issued protest against Grover Cleveland's candidacy. In it they brought out with very strong emphasis the itatement that he could not carry New York; that be would lose the state to the Republicans by a clean majority of 100,000 votes; anil that anyman the convention might name, whether ue should be Flower/Bayard, Randall or some western man, would be more acceptable to tin rank and file of the New_York Democracy than Cleveland. The Temporary Chairmen Texas—A. T. Holt, national committee; D. C. Geddings, resolutions. They ars uncertain over candidates. The national Democratic oxecutivo committee have met and selected Gov. Hubbard, of Texas, as temporary cboirmun of the convention. thought that Col, Vilas, of Wisconsin, would be the choice of the committee for the office, but there was no contest over tho matter, and Gov. Hubbard was the unanimous selection. He is a man of line physique, powerful voice, and is said to lie a skilful parliamentarian, in addition to which he has the power of keeping a large assemblage in order. Gov. Hubbard will probably be replaced when the time comes for the election of a permanent chairman by Allan G. Thurman, of Ohio. Pisttburg, Pa., July 8.—The Time* apecial from Krie, Pa., saj»: "Mr*.

I., July 8.—The Newport News, the only daily in the city, has contracted for and is now being served with the United Press report. The Massachusetts delegation are said to be solid for Butler, except in the oase ol Mr. Prince. It is understood that Prince will challenge Gen. Butler's vote on account of his being a candidate on the Labor and Greenback ticket, and therefore unable to pledge himself for the nominee of the convention. It is said that when this bccurs Mr. Butler will deliver a vigorous speech in defense of his position. The delegation organized by electing tho following officers and members of committees; Chairman, the Hon. J. G. Abbott; secietary. W. Coveny; organization, John W. Cummings; credentials, John W.

Still Cltainplon of the World. Result of a Chance. Jasper, Ind., July 8.—The posUfflco ard adjoining building were found to be in flan:* at an early hour yesterday morning. Th« contents were saved and buildings partly saved. The fire was undoubtedly incendiary, and is attributed to a bitter feeling engendered by a recant change of postmasters. Under the head "Make no Mistake" some weighty arguments set forth in an anti- Cleveland publication received the maoting's endorsement. The Presiding Officer, The Tim* thinks that Cleveland will secure the nomination at Chicago If be can weather the opposition of John Kelly and Tammany Hall. Should Mr. Tildeo, however, show a desire to reconsider his declination and Ijecome the candidate it will be "all up" with Cleveland. Hit KELLY'S RESOLUTION. It is generally conceded that the convention will need a master hand to control it. There will bo very little figuring for candidates for the position. There are no great contests to be settled. There will be no moment when one candidate or another can gain a decisive point by holding the sympathy of the presiding officer. Consequently the only consideration in the selection will be to got the best man. There is a very loud call for the selection of Allan G. Thurman. He would command the respect and consideration of the delegates. But Thurman is on the cards to present the name of Senator Bayard. It is not unlikely that if Thurmau finds it inexpedient to act that Vilas, of Wisconsin, will be made the providing officer. Then Kelly submitted a resolution which will cause a revolution in the convention. It states that: American Securltlee la baBira. Pitlston and Vicinty. Loudon, July 8.J—The market (or American securities has bean greatly oversold within the past few days.

Whereas, In a contest such as tho New York state Democracy is now engaged in the unit rule in the convention makes it impossible for delegates in the to represent the wishes of their constituency; the unit ■ nle is an unjust measure, since it denies the exereise of individual and personal preferences, and that therefore they are resolved to oppose the unit rule in the meeting of the New York delegation, and that, if it is in effective to prevent the choice of a man for Democratic candidate for president who cannot carry his own state, the fight be then taken into the national convention. THE ONLY WAV TO DEFEAT CLEVELAND. In a speech John Kelly said that this measure was the only way to defeat Cleveland. With the Kings county delegation for him ha would have forty-five delegates. They were a majority and sufficient without a two-thirds rule to vote for the delegation, the vote being cast as a unit Mr. Kelly said that the national convention of ISfiS ordained that the unit rule could be dispensed with at any time at£be option of any subsequent national convention. The resolution was promptly carried to oppose the unit rule and endeavor to defeat it in the delegation. A. Resolution was adopted that if the Cleveland men were too many in the state meeting anil voted down a resolution for a two-thirds The Ohio Delegation We have the moat complete line of furnaces in Our ware rooms that 4iM" ever been shown in any bouse in the .State, comprising over twenty sizes and styles.
