Railroad Com—cro. w. rexkixs Des Moines, Ia., July 11.—The re- publigan state convention was a har- monious gathering, and Gen. F. M. Drake of Carterville, was chosen for governor on the sixth ballot. Gen. Drake was born in Mlinois. The Drake family remoyed to Davis county, Ia., in 1845, while Francis was about one year old. In 1855 he removed to Centerville, which has since been hishom. He enlisted as @ private in 1861 and was promoted untilhe became Brevet Brigadier general. In 1865 he was badly wounded at Mark’s Mills, Ark. After the war he engaged in ruilroad con- Struction and has since been largely engaged in railways. He is now president of the Indiana, Illinois and Iowa, and is interested in several Iowa lines. He is the founder of Drake university of Des Moines. The surprises in the convention was the defeat of Lieut. Gov. Dugan for a renomination and the naming of Matt Parrott of Waterloo. Par- rott was born in Schoharie, N. Y.; in 1837. He early learned the print- er’s trade and in 1857 came west. He purchased the Waterloo Repor- ter in 1869 and has since conducted it. State Superintendent Sabin, Su- preme Judge Given and Railroad Commissioner Perkins were quickly renominated by acclamation. on THE PLATFORM. Denounces the democratic attempt to whip out the McKinley tariff; favors a high protective tariff in preference to an income tax; favors restriction of immigration and pen- sions for all honorably discharged Union soldiers; and reaffirms the declarations of the republican na- tional platform of 1892, adopted at Minneapolis, that ‘the American peo- ple from tradition and interest bi- mettallism, and the republican party demands the use of both gold and silver as standard money, with such restriction and under suck provision to be determined by legislation as will secure the maintenance of the parity of the two metals; that the purchasing and the debt-paying power of the doilar, whether of sil- ver, gold or paper, shall be at all times equal. Still In The Race, Versailles, Ky , July 10.—Senator Blackburn laughed when shown a telegram today from a New York paper saying it was reported in the East that he had withdrawn from the Senatorial race. ‘I was never more in the race than I am now,” said the Senator, “and never felt more certain of success.” When agked about the reports that he had been requested by the chairman of the State committee not to make any more silver speeches, he said, “The committee has made no request of me to ignore the cur- rency issue. The late State conven- tion by a very decided majority re- fused to put a free silver plank in the platform, and by # very much more decided majority it refused to indorse a singte gold standard. Ite only utterance upon the currency question was a reaffirmation of the national platform of 1892, leaving the party in Kentucky, so far as this issue is concerned, precisely where it has been for the last three years. My views upon this subject are well known and of long standing. They have not been chanffed or modified to any extent whatever.” pe t | 4 Chinch Bugs Make a Sweep.

H. ———— CRUSHED AMID RUINS. Elks at Atlantic City Meet With a Terrible Accident. The Oid Casino Overweighted by the Crowd Collapses. The Floor Gives Way, Carrying Dowa a Thousand People. Atlantic City, N. J., July 10. —The social session tendered by Atlantic City lodge to the visiting Elks at the Baltic avenue casino this evening ended in a terrible disaster, in which fully 100 persons were more or less seriously injured. The eession had just opened and only one of the speakers had been heard when without the slightest warning the building, which had not been used for several years, collaps- ed and fully 1,000 persons were thrown to the flool beneath. Many women, the wives of the visiting Elks, went down in the ruins. Fully 200 persons who were on the first floor of the building, and immedi- ately beneath the banquet hall, were crushed beneath the timbers, and lay helpless. The fact that all the electric lights in the building went out at the time the building gave way added to the confusion. An alarm was immediate- ly turned in and the city’s force of 290 firemen and police officer in the city were cailed to the scene asa hospital corps. The police ambu- lance and earriages of every descrip- tion were utilized to convey the in- jured to the hospital, and to their hotels. When the police and firemen ar- rived on the scene the excitement was so intense that they scarcely knew where to begin first. Am im- mense crown of people had been at- tracted to the place by the noise of the falling building and the groang of the unfortunates who were pinned beneath bricks and timbers. The streets for several blocks were chocked. The air was full of anxious inquiries for friends and relatives who were thought to have been in the building. Within a few minutes the police succeeded in clearing the space in the immediate neighborhood of the building and placed ropes around to keep the crowd back. In the mean- time the firemen had set to work to extricate the wounded from beneath the mass of timbers, and they were aided in their work by the hotel- keepers and residents near the scene. Every house was thrown open for the reception of the injured and every available eonveyance was pres- sed into service to carry them to their hotels.

Increases Will Ee Made in the Large Woolen and Worstea Factories. Proyidence, R. I. July 8. Wages in the woolen and worsted industry all over the Stat@ will be increased |during the present month from 74 to 12 per cent. the In sovie factories ase will affect only the we rthe present, but in the other departments an increase will} {probably follow by the middle of | August.

' The imcrease will also affect the big ;Olneyville factory district in this le y, where the help, which went on strike in May; and largely drifted away, is very scaree. Higher wages jmust be paid in order to get the | skilled weavers and spinners back again. The mil] owners, it is learn- ed, have made better rates on light j weight cloth work, the manufacture of which will begin during the pres ent month. This higher wages to the operatives in this lo- eality. The smaller mills all over ; the State will at once follow the lead of the Olneyville mill | assures owners in |making the advance. During the long strike it was frequently stated by Woonsocket, Pascoag and South County manufacturers that wages would be advanced in those localities just as soon as the increase was given in Olneyville. When the strikers at Olneyville returned to work, June 26, there was a tacit un- derstanding that wages would be increased in all the Olneyville mills, and, upon a half promise, many of the strikers for higher wages went back to work. The formal announ- cement of the Olneyville will be made soon. increase Stare oF Onto, City or ToLepo ) Lucas County. Frank J Cheney makes oath that he is the senior partner of the firm ot F. J.

Washington, D. C., July 9.—A Treasury official today intimated that very soon might be determined to pay off Government employes all over the country in silver, in order to get the silver now in the Treasury into circulation. He observed that it was impossible to be keep in cir- culation more than 60,000,000 stand- ard silver doliars,while of gold there is something over $480,000,000 in constant circulation. The number of standard silver dollars today in circulation is about 52,000,000. The reason that silver circulates in the South and west is explained by the fact that bankers in shipping money for redemption to the Sub-Treasur- ies, or the Treasury direct, have to pay expressage, and too keep this expense to the lowest point possible they continue is circulation just as long as they can all the paper money —$1 and $2 bills—and only when the moxey becomes so ragged that it is unfit for use do they send it to the Treasury to be redeemed and very often the bankers have silver sent in exchange, the Government in this instance paying expressage on the coin. Bankers generally report that it is more difficult to put off silver on their customers than it is paper money. Absviutely Free.
