Fortunately all the inmates escaped. In the country tu the west of the city to-night the destruc. tion was very great, the storm preving 4 veritable cyclone. Barns, fences and trees were levelled to the ground. A number of buildings on J. R. Buoth’s farm were blown down and a laborer named Mulligan, em- ployed at the Experimental Farm, was killed by the falling building. In the city telegraph poles were struck by lightning and awnings burned off buildings, A new |

ceived with applause and adopted. June 6—-11.50 p. m. The roll cali for nomination has begun. There was continued cheering and waving of hats as Daniel Dougherty, of New York, the silver-tongued orator, took the plat-

form. Dogherty began, “I greet you, my countrymen, with fraternal regard.” (Applause.) Dogherty said, ‘“‘I rise

toname the next President of the United States (great excitement and the delegates all standing and cheering.) New York presents him to the convention and pledges her electoral vote.” (Applause and cheer- ing.) Dogherty says: ‘*Weare here to name the man the people have already chosen.” The mention of the tariff reform, the vetoes and the delegation of public territory brings loud applause. The allu- sion tothe end of sectional feeling was greeted with continued cheers: and hat

raising. ‘‘I give you a rame entwined with victory. I nominate Grover Cleveland.”

He continued amid the waving of hats. The excitement jextended to the galleries. Cleveland’s bust on the platform was crowned with a laurel wreath and cheering continued. During the roll call of the States, several

delegates seconded Cleveland’s nomination, |.

amid continuous applause.

Cleveland was nominated by acclamation.

The crowd in the galleries and the mem- bers waved their hats and cheered, and the band struck upthe ‘‘Star Spangled Banner.” The cheering continued 26 miuutes.

Nearly everybody predicts the nomina-

tion of Thurman for vice-president on the first ballot, and the Gray men conceded it to him if not on the first, surely on the! second ballot. The convention adjourned till 10.30 to- n

morrow.
