"And said delegates are further Instructed to act as a unit in all matters entrusted to their charge, said action to be determined by the vote of a majority of said delegates." When the adjournment was taken the committee separated to meet again at St. Louis at the time of the convention. The great amount of work which must be done before the meeting of the convention made it necessary to make the appointments at this early day. The appointments will be subject to the approval of the Democratic national committee, which in turn will submit them to the convention. They will be undoubtedly selected as named, however. -1 Also the following: "That the administration of Governor David B. Hill" (great and long continued applause, ending in three three cheers for Hill) "merits and has the hearty respect of this convention." A Bob and a moan arose from the corner in which Mrs. Scofield was sitting. Mr. Ferris simply gasped, his jaw fell and his eyes looked as though they would pop out of his head. Imperturable Mr. Scofield manifested neither emotion nor ordinary interest Royal Baking Fowokr Co., 106 Wall St., N. V The name of Delegate ex-Mayor Graca was greeted with a demonstration in which hisses and cheers were about equally mingled. The names ot Col. Fellows and several others were cheered for their hospitality. The loud demands which had from time to time been made for Daniel Dougherty were now gratified, and that gentleman was vociferously applauded as he took the platform. He delivered a remarkably eloquent eulogy on the Democratic party and its great leader, Grover Cleveland, and congratulated the party upon its now perfect assurance of victory. The resolutions were all adopted, another series of cheers for Governor Hill following the announcement Coroner Levy held Mr. Ferris and Mrs. Scofleld for the grand jury and continued the $5,000 bail asked in the case of Ferris, and cancelc.l I hi bail bond of $2,500 furnished for Mrs. Scofleld by Mr. Ferris, asking for new bail in the same amount. Both parties will be committed to the house of detention if bail is not furnished. Scofleld was discharged from custody. TUESDAY'S BASEBALL GAMES. (ruenther, of Erie; C. B. Stout and George P.

Bourke Cockran also responded to cries for him to speak. He was very brief, and merely congratulated the convention upon its good work. In concluding his remarks he said the most fitting close he could suggest to such a glorious day was to move to adjourn. This was evidently against the wishes of the convention, as cries for CoL Fellows, ex-Senator Grady and other favorite oratqrs burst forth, but the chairman declared the motion carried and the convention adjourned sine dia Malvln Seixas, the adopted son of Mr. Ferris, testified before the coroner at yesterday's session of the inquest. He had been adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Ferris, he said, ten years ago, and was treated by them precisely as though they were his parents. It is his habit whenever he spends an evening out to make sure on his return to the house whether Mr. Ferris is in or out, in order that he may either turn out the gas or leave it burning. This he usually does by listening at the foot of the stairs for the sound of snoring. The Moijd-o' night of Mr. Hatch's death the witness reached home at tf:45. The light was burning in the hall, and he listened in vain for the familiar snore. He then went up stairs, his room being on the third floor. As he passed the chamber of his adopted father and mother, finding the door open he thought he would make quite sure that Mr. Ferris was not at home, and therefore entered the room, and saw Mr. Ferris in bed. There could be no mistake about this; he saw him, and at once went down stairs and turned out the gas. No amount of cross questioning shook the testimony of this young man in the least Had Mr. Ferris gone out again that night he is positive he would have heard him leave the house. He keeps a pistol in his room, and had there been any noise on the stairs he would have been after the maker of it with a pistol shot. He went down town the next morning, as usual, with his adopted father. There was. nothing in the latter's actions different from usual. The witness knew Mrs. Scofleld. She,, used to be a frequent visitor upon Mr. and Mrs. Ferris when they lived in East Fifty-ninth street. At Toronto—Toronto, 6; Troy, 1. Hits: Toronto, 6; Troy, 4. Errors: Toronto, 3; Troy, 7.

She was to keep it but a few weeks and was willing to have it remain so. She had never pretended that her name was Ferris.

CUMMIKG8. eth,Cyrus Stewart j The session was very sensational, Mrs. Scofield several times becoming so disorderly that the coroner was obliged to reprimand her. It was nearly 6 o'clock before the committee on credentials was ready to present its report. In the interval the platform was occupied by Jesse Harper, of Illinois, and Mrs. Marion Todd and Mrs. Emery, of Michigan. After the report of the committee on credentials had been adopted there was a long and animated debate upon a proposition to allow the delegates from each state to cast the entire vote of such state, no matter whether the actual representation was one or twenty. This was strongly resisted by the western delegates, on the ground that it would give the ten New Yorkers seventy votes and practically put them, with the Pennsylvania and Maine delegates, in control of the convention. Finally the proposition was voted down. jEEUHEF Nashville, May 10.—The state Demo cratic convention has nominated Governor Robert L Taylor for re-election on the fortieth ballot, all opposing candidates having been withdrawn.

The convention was in session seven days, and a most bitter fight was made against Taylor, but he all along retained a majority of the delegates. The Tennessee Deadlock Broken.

He said that the pending bill dwarfed all other measures now before the house. The issue joined between the majority and minority was not whether the tariff needed revision or not; not whether the rate of duty on this or that article was too high; whether a lower rate of duty on any special schedule would yield sufficient revenue and sufficient protection to. American industry; but the line on which they divided was on the economical principle itself. The platform adopted is as follows: "The representatives of the Democratic party in the state of New York, assembled for the purpoee of selecting delegates who shall make known the Democratic sentiments of the state at the Pacific Slope Democrats. 1,200,000 LADIES Los Angeles, Cai, May 16.—The Democratic state convention met here yesterday.
