Fatal Railroad Accident—A Choctaw
Eilled by Lightning.
Wichita, K«tn., June 25.—J C. Wilson, a
member of the board of county commis-
sioners of Greenwood County, this State,
who arrived here yesterday, stated that
about a month ago a rabid dog bit several
dogs, cal tie and horses near Eureka. The
dogs attacked bit other dogs and over
forty soon showed violent symptoms of the
dr¿ad malady. Most of them were killed,
but some that were not known to have
been affected were not, and these have
bitten nine persons. About fifteen days
ago one of these dogs rushed into the yard
of William Jones, a prominent farmer liv-
ing about a mile south of Eureka, the
county seat of Greenwood County, and,
before any one was aware of his
presence, bit Jones and two of his chil-
dren. The wounds seamed to have healed,
but last Wednesday one of the children
died in terrible agony. The father next
died a terrible death, and yesterday the
other child followed. The other six per-
sons bitten are doing well, as a man named
Cogswell, who was among the first at-
tacked, sent to Iola, seventy-five miles dis-
tant, for a madstone. He and others in his
neighborhood used it in turn as rapidly a
possible, aud are from present indications
in a fair way to recover. It is not expected
that any more will die, as the others were
all bitten before the members of the Jones
family and by a different animal. There
is great excitement in the county, which
will probably result in almost the entire
extinction of the canine family.

BALLOTING CONTINUED.
fhe Republican National Conveatlou Con-
tinues the Balloting.
Chicago. June 23.—The convention met
this morning with the usual rumors of
combinations flying through the air as
thick as blackbirds.
The convention was called to order at
10:08, but it was not until twenty minutes
later when the proceedings were formally
opened by Chairman Estee calling upon
Senator Warner Miller, of New York, to
preside over its deliberations. Bishop Sam-
uel Fellows, of Chicago, delivered the in-
vocation.
The convention then proceeded to ballot.
When Connecticut was called one vote
was cast for McKinley, of Ouio. As soon
as this announcement was made Mr. Mc-
Kinley was seen to rise in his seat, and
amid the most impressive silence, proceed-
ed to make a statement. H 3 was greeted
with a storm of applause. He said:
"lam here as one of the chosen repre-
sentatives of my State. I am here by &
resolution of the Republican convention,
passed without one dissenting voice, com-
manding me to cast my vote for John Sher-
man and use every worthy endeavor for
his nomination. I accepted tho trust be-
Ci«use my heart and judgment were in ac-
cord with the letter and spirit and pur-
pose of that resolution. It has pleased
certain delegates to cast their votes for
me. I am uot insensible to the honor they
would do me, but in the presence of the
duty resting upon me I can not remain si-
lent with honor. 1 can not consistently
with the credit of the State whose creden-
tials I bear and which has trusted me; 1
can not with honorable fidelity to John
Sherman, who trusted me in his cause and
with his confidence. lean no consistently
with my owu views of my personil integ-
rity consertt or seem to consent to permit
my name to be used as a candidate before
this convention.
"I could not rv spect myself if I cernid find
it in Hiy heart to do, say or permit to be
done that which could be even ground for
any one to suspect that I wavered in my
loyalty to Ohio, or my devotion to the chief
of her choice and the chief of mine.
t4I do request—I demand that no delegate
who would not cast reflection upon me,
shall cast a ballot for me."
Mr. McKinley spoke earnestly and with
emphasis. He was evidently sincere and
the convention at the conclusion of his
little speech generously applauded.
The ballot was then proceeded with with
cut further incident until Illinois was
reachod, when a break of three votes from
Gresbam to Harrison created a sc sation
and was received with a minerled demon-
stration of hisses and applause.
When New York was reached the gal-
leries hissed. After the vote of the State
giving H-rrison fifty-nine votes, one of the
delegates demanded a poll of the delega-
tion. The poll showed no change in the
vote.
As the ballot proceeded there was shown
in addition to the expected eain for Har-
rison a very decided growth iu the Alger
vote, which came chiefly from the South.
The Pennsylva- ia vote still stuck by Sher-
man, he getting fifty-three of the sixty
votes from that State. This was part of
the Quay programme to beat Harrison.
The ballot resulted as follows:
