Grove, who was hurt in the recent bridge collapse, were both drowned in attempting to cross Licking creek, which had been swollen by a rain. The buggy was upset by tho current. The horse was found at heme yesterday morning attached to the buggy, which had one broken wheel. This led to a search, and the bodies of both mother and daughter were found in the creek only a saort distance from home.

The Hlnois delegates over in the section to the chairman’s right led an enthusiastic cheer, which was taken up by other delegations and chorused by the galleries. Curtosity was rife to see the man whom the delegates had heard so much about and few had ever seen, so many mounted their chairs and faced toward Illinois. The democratic governor made his way into the aisle and stood there, a pale-faced man, with a black beard closely cut and close-cropped black hair, and jet eyes that snapped and gleamed like sparks while he stood with uplifted arm appealing for attention. Few could see him, and there was much crowding and confusion while he mounted his chair under the Ilinois standard, and then the cheer was redoubled. His op- ponents, also, when they spied him from the galleries, were inflamed to wrath, and they showered upon him a shower of hisses. Throughout this scene the delegations from New York, Massachusetts and other eastern states sat in frozen silence, and there came an end to the uproar at last, end Altgeld made his voice heard shouting: “On behalf of the state of Illinois I sug- gest that this convention give to Hon. David B. Hill of New York an opportunity to address i This stroke brought down another show- er of demands for “Hil, Hill, Hill.” The chairman made himself heard and sald: “The distinguished gentleman from New York who has been called for so often is a member of the committee on reso- lutions, and 1s not here.” Still the convention demanded Hill, until Serator White was driven to cry appeal- ingly, “Why will you insist on a man who is rot here?” ‘Then the cry was turned to “Russell,” by the eastern men, but the young Massachu- setts ex-governcr sat impassively in his chair in the first row, and his friends gave rim up. Finaily, ex-Governor Overmyer of Kansas was brought to the platform and appeased the appetite of the crowd for sev- eral minutes as he pleaded for the “Dollar of the Daddies.” oFr another five minutes the band heid them in check with stirring music. Then the erles for Altgeld were renewed, ard at last, with evident reluctance, the lilinois governor was urged forward to the stage. Great curlosity existed among thou- nds whe had never heard, and some who had never before seen this great power in this part of the country. Some of the dele- ates crowded to the foot of the stage; not because his voice was weak, as his clear voice to furthermost the limits of the hall, but to get a view of the man. With great deliberation he opened with the statement that he had not come here to make a speech, but to assist in the nomination of the next President of the United States and to formulate a declaration of principles that would again offer hope to the party of the people. This opening sentiment warmed up the audience, and seon the pale, almost haggard face of the Illinois governor grew fMushed. His gestures became quick and vehement, and before he had proceeded far the convention was swayed as by a cycione, by his oratory. When he declared that hungry men and children were looking to this convention for relief there was a great demonstration. Adrvitiy he worked on to his climax. He described the toil and blood and sweat of the millions who are being doubled by the shrinking standard of values. Then he paused, and flinging his arms out before him asked: Will you let them continue it?” , no! Never,” came in thundering us from 10,000 throats. referring to the great struggle against slavery, he pointed to an at his back and outed the idea of compromise. “Did the men,” he asked, “who gave up their lives to preserve that flag talk of ccmpromise? There could be none. There ed and descended from the he was accorded another great demonstration. The Illinois delegation mounted their chairs and frantically wav- ed their banners. Delegates from other egations crowded the aisles to wring his 1, while the terraced galleries yelled and shouted. After the interlude by the band New england had her inning, when George Willams, the stalwart, fashionaily blonde-mustached, scholarly look- sman from Mai t 2 conversion to free silver Was recently announced, was called to the platform amid great enthusiasm. He spoke the silver men of New England, and speech was by far the most striking nt of the day. He made an impas- plea against sectionalism, and made Fred. in such forcible, clear-cut, ringing sen- that ev senterce went to the mark like a bullet. His first sentence, “This is not a sec- tional convention,” brought the silver men to their feet like a regiment at the word of command, and when he declared that “this is a battle for the restoration of the Union of the states,” the shouts were ter- rific. “I speak,” he said, “in behalf of the honest capital of w England, in behalf of the capitalists, the men who earned what capital they could by honest toil, and n behalf of the millions of spindles now Mr. Williams’ speech was the most ef- fective of the day. He was congratulated effusively by Senators Daniel and Black- burn, and rezeived a distinct ovation. Mr. Williams closed his vigorous silver speech amid great applause, and a partial report of committee on eredentials cover- ing all coniests except Michigan contest was presepted to the convention.

Governor Altgeld moved a recess until 5 o'clock, and, amid cries of “No,” the ‘air announced that the committee on redentials could not report much before that time. The convention then adjourned. BUILDING THE PLATFORM. Report of the Subcommittee on the Resolutions. CHICAGO, July 8.—The subcommittee of the committee on resolutions met again at $:30 o’clock this morning to make a final revision of the platform before its presen- tation to the general committee. Senator George made a good many suggestions in the way of minor verbal changes, a num- ber of which were adopted. There was no trouble about reaching an agreement upon all points save two or three. First among the subjects upon which there was difference was, of course, the money question. But there were other topics on which there was wide divergence, as, for instance, the declarations against a presi- dential third term and federal interference in cases of labor disturbance. Senators Jones, Cockrell, George and Tillman with Mr. Owen of Indian territory, presented the majority report to the full committee about 9:30 o’clock, and there began a fresh contest. ‘The committee on resolutions was not very prompt in assembling, owing to the fact that the subcommittee was at work until after 2 o'clock this morning. Shortly after convening the full committee heard a dele- gation from the Woman's Suffrage Asso- ciation, who desired to have incorporated in the platform the following resolution: “The democratic party recognizes with great satisfaction the world-wide move- ment for the advancement of women. We approve every form of social and political progress which will bring them better pay and larger opportunities. The influence of women is needed, not only in the home, but in the school and state. We invite the as- sistance and the votes of women for the democratic candidates in the coming cam- paign.” Arguments were made by the women in attendance in favor of the adoption of the resolution. The leading argument was made by Dr. Julia Holmes Smith of Chicago, the only democratic woman holding an elective state office in the United States. Other argu- ments were made by Mrs. Catherine Waug McCulloch. Among others present were Mary Kennedy Brown and Mrs. Dr. Ferguson, woman alternate in the conven- tion from Utah. The anti-suffragists were also given a hearing, and argued against the adoption of any suffrage plank in the platform. Mrs. W. Winslow Crannell made an ex- tended argument. William P. St. John of New York ap- peared before the committee and made an argument in fayor of his free coinage plank, which had been submitted to the committee. Mr. St. John was formerly president of the Mercantile National Bank of New York, and has been for free cotn- age of silver for many years. He made an argument to show that there are many votes in the east in favor of free coinage, and claimed that New York and some New Bngiand states have majorities for free coinage. 2 The subcommittee then made its report to the full committee, submitting the plat- form, which had been adopted last night. W. W. Gatewood, a delegate from the twelfth Texas district, made an argument in favor of moderation fn the tariff decla- ration. He represented that the interest: of his section wanted protection to several interests. He offered the following, which he asked be incorporated: “Resolved, That we favor a tariff for revenue sufficient to defray the necessary expenses of the government economically administered, and so adjusted as not to discriminate against the industries of any section, especially the raw materials of the south and west, Including their wool, hides, sheep, cattle and other live stock inter- ests.”” A. R. Smith of Maine made an argument before the committee in favor of the dif- ferential tonnage tax, in accordance witu the resolution offered by Arthur Sewell of Maine. The committee granted hearings to vari- ous persons, while waiting for the minor- ity of the subcommittee to complete its report against ihe platform adopted by the majority last evening. It is-understood that the minority report will not only op- pcse the financial plank, but will also op- pcse several other planks adopted by the Vice President Stevenson. subcommittee, and will contain a recom- mendation in favor of the Nicaragua canal. Allan W. Thurman of Ohio offered Mr. St. John’s amendment to the financial plank providing for the issuance of coin certifi- cates in times of money stringency in ex- change for United States bonds. Mr. Thur- man said that some such plan was needed, as a scarcity of money always created a scramble for it,and business men and others only wanted money badly when they could not get it. Mr. Thurman’s amendment led to a de- bate which was very generally participated in by the members of the committee. Sev- eral of them opposed the amendment on the ground that it was not politic or wise to make any suggestion of the possibility of the free coinage of silver causing a panic. Others, in support of Mr. Thur- man, declared that they belleved that the banks would not hesitate to precipitate a panic in case of the adoption of free coin- age, in order to regain the power which they had wrongfully wrested from the peo- ple. It was declared that the banks were éven now looking up their money in prepa- ration for such a panic. ‘The case of the banks In Chicago and St. Louis was es- pecialiy cited. It was said, on the part of this convention, that the government should pursue the policy which the clear- ing house association of New York had pursued. Senator George asked how such a plan as Mr. St. John’s could be put in operation and the panic prevented. In reply to this it was suggested that parics were due to the want of confidence, and that they could be prevented by tak- ing away this want of confidence. The previous question was ordered on Mr. Thurman's amendment, and it was re- jected. * Mr. Thurman's amendment was offered as such to the paragraph in the platform declaring that the demonetization of silver has resulted in the appreciation of gold, ete., and this paragraph was adopted after the amendment was rejected. Reading the Platform. The secretary then proceeded with the reading of the platform, section by sec- tion, developing no little discussion as he progressed. At 2 o'clock this mprning the subcommit- tee of the committee on platform ad- journed till 8:30, when the platform agreed upon was to be reported to the full com- mittee. The report declares for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to 1; de- nounces the issue of bonds; demands that the power to issue circulating notes be taken from national banks; declares for a tariff for revenue only, and asserts that the re-enactment of the McKinley law would be a menace to the best interests of the country. It declares for a constitutional amend- ment which will enable the enactment of an income tax law, and demands that pau- per immigration shall be kept out of the country. It approves of the contempt of court Dill reported by Senator Hill to the Senate, which bill grew out of the Debs case, and denounces the republican House of the present Congress for not passing it; de- nounces the Pacific railroad funding bill that has been reported to the Senate; op- poses a third term as being in violation of ne of the cardinal prirciples of the demo- cratic party, opposes life tenure in the civil service, and denounces the extrav- agance of the last republican Congress. Senator Hill of New York made a sugges- tion when the paragraph demanding the immediate restoration of the free and un- limited coinage of silver was reached to the effect that there should be a declara- tion for the preservation of the parity of the metals. This brought on a discussion -as to the absence of the minority report, several of the silver men complaining that the minor- ity report was being unduly delayed, and saying that it should be before the full committee, to be considered together with the majority report. Among those who took part in this discussion were Senators Hill, Jones and Tillman. The point against the absence of the minority waa, however, dropped, and the readitig of the majority report proceeded with. During his talk, Senator Tillman said it nad been suggested that the silver men had brought in a firebrard, and they should have an opportunity to know what the mixcrity people suggested in its place. Some cne of the members of the committee suggested that the report that the majority resolutions were a firebrand was a lie, to which Mr. Tillman cheerfully acceded. GOLD MEN’S CONFERENCES. Difference of Opinion in Regard to a : Bolt. CHICAGO, July 8&—The gold men were angry this morning, and they have been holding conferences in various leaders’ rooms since 8 o'clock. They claim that the silver men are unseating delegations with no apparent cause than to simply ald them in pushing their plans through, and that they have thrown democratic precedent to the winds. Senator Hill, Mr. Whitney, Mr. Coudert, National Committeeman Sheehan and Congressman Sulzer find it difficult to stem the tide of anger in the New York delegation, and an outbreak of any kind may lead to a bolt. It is pretty safe to as- sume that the leaders will not go out, no matter what their future action may be, but some of their followers may. On the other hand the silver leaders claim that the gold men have put them- selves in this position. The meeting of gold standard men, which did not break up until an early hour this merning, is quoted as an example. ‘ Senator Blackburn of Kentucky said this morning: “You will notice that the men who made incendiary speeches advocating bolting the ticket and platform are men whose states have no gold represehtation, and who are not delegates. I am toid that Mr. John P. Irish of California made a brilliant and pointed effort in that direc- tion, and that Gen. Bragg and Franklin McVeagh also were for a bolt. I should like to know by what right they interfere with the work of delegates sent here by the people. Even Mr. Whitney of New York Is an interloper, not having been sent as a delegate to this convention. What right have such people as that to run the convention?” It is only right to say there was no men- tion of bolting the convention in the gold men’s meeting last night, except when Mr. Irish of California said, In closing his speech: “Well, if some things happen, I know what I should do,” and stuck his hands in his pockets and strolled down the room. Mr. Coudert, ex-Gov. Russell of Massa- chusetts and Mr. Whitney were cautious in their remarks, and were averse to hasty or fll-tempered action, no matter what oc- curred. Gen. Bragg made the statement that he would not support-p silver platform or ticket, and Messrs. Outhwaite and Holden of Oh'o both claim that such a ticket and platform wouid take 20,000 votes from the demgcracy in their state. There was some talk of an independent ticket, but the whole matter finally resolved into the adoption of @ resolution for a committee of one from each state to feel the pulse of the people on the subject and report back in August to Senator Gray of Delaware. When New York met after midnight there was a more bitter feeling when the action of the silver men on the Michigan contest had become known. The meeting lasted until after 3 o'clock and then ad- Journed until 9 o'clock this morning. Mr. Coudert, Henry Purroy and Congressman Sulzer deprecated « bolt, and Perry Bel- mont, Roswell P. Flower and a few others said that it was th¢ only recourse left for good democrats. “he meeting broke up rather disorderly, wNhout action, to await consultation with Mr. Hill and Mr. Shee- an. t WILL NOT BOLT. Decision Reached by the New York Delegation. CHICAGO, July 8.—The New York dele- gation, after an exciting conference this morning, decided not to bolt. There was no vote, but the sentiment was strongly against it. Perry Belmont was in favor of immediate withdrawal, as was Congress- man George B. McClellan. There were about twenty members of the New York delegation present this morning at the caucus when Chairman Flower called it to order. The only prominent members present were those who last night advocated a bolt, Messrs. Flower and Bel- mont. Later, some of the others arrived, and there was a brief discussion on the question of leaving the convention. The majority were in favor of remaining. Gov. Flower had modified his views con- siderably and did not talk in the same way that he did early this morning. Congress- man Belment was for a bolt, and was sup- ported by several others, but their words were not accepted with much enthusiasm. The meeting adjourned without any action being taken, and the delegation was given to understand that there would be another meeting after adjournment. It was under- stood by some in the delegation that the seating of the silver delegates in Michigan would be reconsidered. ‘There was a rumor that New York had decided to remain in the convention, but not vote for candidates. Gov. Flower said: “We took no action. No vote was taken. I believe that the sentiment was conserva- tive, and tends toward our staying in. It is possible we may not vote on candidates.” Congressman Sulzer seid: ‘There was ab- solutely no defined policy adopted. We did not decide not to vote on candidates, and nothing that I remember was safd to indi- cate that we would take that attitude.” THE CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE. the Settlement Michignn Contests. CHICAGO, July 8.—The committee on credentials abcut 4 o'clock this morning decided by a vote of 21 to 8 to seat the con- testants from South Dakota, and then, pending a motion to reconsider, adjourned until later. Only one contest, an Indiana district, re- trained to be passed on. The committee on credentials met at 9 o'clock, the special order being the motion to reconsider the vote by which the situng delegates from South Dakota were retain- ed. There was a srrall attendance at the meeting, and considerable objection was made to any action bythe remnant of the committee changing ary action had by the full committee last night. Cbjection was made to making mai ant on the South Delay in of th Dakota case until Michigan case 1s fully disposed of. After some discussion the committee agreed ¢0 report on all »ut the Michigan case. * The committee 3 that the roster prepared by the natkongl committee is cor- rect, except as to the names of delegates and alternates frémr Michigan and Ne- braska; and as to NeWraska, unanimously reports in favor of the contesting delegates and alternates headed by William J. Bry- an. As to Michigan, the committee was not able to arrive at a conclusion. ‘The committee furthér recommends the convention accord to the Distrl Columbia and each, territory sfx vote Delay in the Réport. Up to 1 o'clock, the cammittee on cre- dentials had net reported to the conven- tion. It seems fhat the furore that the decision to seat the Michigan silver con- testing delegation caused set the commit- tee thinking, and there was a hurriedly called meeting this morning, just when the convention was about-to meet. The silver men presented first a proposition for a half vote each, gold and silver, on each centest. This was refused by Smith Weed of New York, who had taken charge of the minority end of the committee. There was an easy discussion, and after consultation the silver men made this proposition: That the four delegates-at-large of the gold peo- ple be seated, and the two gold delegates in the ninth district, and that the two sil- ver men in the fourth district be seated. This would make the delegation stand fourteen for gold and fourteen for silver, and this would destroy the unit and give an equal division of the vote. Up to 1 o'clock no decision has been definitely ar- rived at. ‘The Nebraska case was decided in favor of the silver men, headed by ex-Congress- man Bryan, and there was no disposition to reopen that. The committee had trouble keeping a quorum. ‘At L o'clock @ quorum was secured, and the committee began a final attempt to set- tle the matter. Proposed Compromise. = - A member of the credentials committee said that the gold people in the delegation from Michigan proposed as a compromise that the silver people seat two distriat delegates and the three delegates-at-large, a total of five, out of eight contestants. This, if accepted, will give the silverites 17 of the 28 Michigan votes, or the entire delegation, under the unit rule. The gold men, it is stated, have agreed to make no contest on the floor if thelr compromise suggestion is agreed to. THE PLATFORM. that of Report of the Subcommittee of the Resolutions Committee. CHICAGO, July 8—The subcommittee on resolutions reported the following to the full committee this morning. It will form the basis of the platform. Resolutions fa- voring Cuba, approving defeat of the Pa- cific ratlway funding bill and indorsing just claims for pensions are also Hkely to be edded: We, the democrats of the United States in national convention assembled, do re- affirm our allegiance to those great, essen- tial principles of justice and Nberty upon which our institutions are founded and which the democratic party has maintained from Jefferson's time to our own—freedom of speech, freedom qf tite press, freedom of consctence, the preserwation of personal rights. the equalityisofijall citizens before the law and the faithful observance of constitutional limitations. Recognizing that :the; money question is paramonnt to all otlsers at this time, we in- vite attention to the fact that the Federal Constitution names xilver and gold together as the money metais of the United States, and that the first ecimage law passed by Congress under therGonstitution made the silver dollar the urit of value and admit- ted gold to free coifiage at a ratio measur- ed by the silver dollar anit. We declare that the aict of 1873 demone- tizing silver without thé knowledge or ap- proval of the Americampeople has resulted in the appreciation! of igold and a corres- ponding fall in therpriées of commodities produced by the people; heavy tacrease in the burden of taxatiori and of all debts, public and private; the enrichment of the money lending class at home and abroad; paralysis of industry and impoverishment of the people. We are unalterably opposed to the single gold standard, which has locked fast the Prosserity of an industrious people in the paralysis of hard times. Gold monometal- lism is a British policy, founded upon Brit- ish greed for gain and power, and its gen- eral adoption has brought other nations into fmanctal servitude to London. It ts not only un-American, but anti-American, and it can be fastened upon the United States only by the stifling of that indom- itable spirit and love of Hberty which pro- claimed our political independence in 1776, and won it in the war of the revolution. We demand the immediate restoration of the free and unlimited coinege of gold and silver at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation. We demand that the standard silver dollar shall be = full legal tender, equally with gold, for all public and private, and we favor such legis- lation as will prevent the demonetization ef ary kind of legal tender money by pri- vate contract. We are opposed to the policy and practice of surrendering to the holders of the obli- gations of the United States the option re- served by law to the government of re- deeming such ebligations in either silver ecin or gold coin. We are opposed to the issulrg of interest-bearing bonds of the United States in times of peace, and con- dcmn the trafficking with banking syndi- cates which, in exchange for bonds and at an enormous profit to themselves, supply the federal treasury with gold to maintain the policy of gold monometallism. Congress alone has the power to coin and issue money, and President Jackson dc- clared that this power could not be delega’ ed to corporations or individuals. We, therefore, demand that the power to issue notes to circulate as money be taken aoe fed panes aa that all paper money hall sued directly by the Tr. Department. fas pay We hold that tariff duties should be levied solely for purposes of revenue, and that taxation should be limited by the needs of the government, honestly and econom- {cally administered. We denounce as dis- turbing to business the republican threat to restore the McKinley law, which has been twice condemned by the people in rational elections, and which, enacted un- der the false plea of protection to.home in- dustry, proved a prolific breeder of trusts and monopolies, enriched the few at the expense of the many, restricted trade and deprived the producers of the great Ameri- can staples access to their natural mar- kets. Until the money question is settled, We are opposed to any agitation or fur- ther changes in our tariff laws, except such as are necessary to make up ‘the deficit in Tevaue caused by the adverse decision of the Supreme Court on the income tax. There would have been no deficit in fed- cral revenue during the last two years but for the annulment by the Supreme Court of a law passed by a democratic Congres in strict pursuance of the uniform decision of that court for nearly 100 years, that court having sustained consututional objections to tts enactment which had been over- ruled by the ablest jud has eve on that oe judge who has ever sat e declare that it is the duty of Congress to use all the constitutional power ¥ remains after that d P whiGh raay? eome from its reversal by ‘the court as it may hereafter be constituted,’ so that the burdens of taxation may be equally and impartially laid, to the end that wealth may beer its due proportion of the expe: of the government.

WILL REFUSE TO VOTE. Over Two-Hundred Delegates Will Be Silent on Roll Ca: Special From a Staff Correspondent. CONVENTION HALL, July 8—New York men say that 2530 delegates will re- fuse to vote on candidates. The question will then arise, as said in these dispatches yesterday, on the construction of the term two-thirds. An effort will be made to get a ruling that two-thirds of those voting Is enough to nominate. Th:s ruling would be correct if the men not voting had actually left the convention, but as long as they remain a part of the convention, whether voting or not, two- thirds must mean two-thirds of the entire convention. This is according to strict par- Namentary usage, and it is supposed that Chairman White will make the distinction between a bolt and a simple failure to vote in making his rujing. Any reduction of the number of votes necessary to nominate is regarded as in the interest of Bland. J. P. MILLER. ——_.—___ 4 McDOWELL BEATEN. Benument of the Bartons Proved Too Much for Him.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: In the contreversy in which the Metropo!l- tan Railroad Company and organized labor are now engaged it seems to me only just that the attention of the general public should be directed to the fact that the statement given out recently by the rail- road company, while denying the fact, seems to be in spirit a confession that the discharges were made because of the activ- ity displayed by the dismissed employes in the interest of their crganization, and for no other apparent reason. At the time of the discharges, it was al- leged, as I understand it, that they were made because the men involved had un- dertaken to defeat legislation allowing ex- tensions of the road that did not in any way injuriously affect their interests, and that this was done purely in a dog-in-the- manger spirit. This charge, which, if true, would have deprived the men of the sympathy of most disinterested citizens, seems to have been totally unfounded, being specifically denied by the men and not reaffirmed by the Metropolitan Railroad Company. The question presented, when divested of all quibbles, seems to be the plain issue of whether workingmen have the right to organize themselves for their own protec- tion unmolested by their employers. On this point I do not doubt that the sympathy and active ald of the great mass of Washingtonians unidentified with or- ganized labor will be given to those who struggle for the recognition of this in- herent right of free men.

Already Made—Details of Men From Different Cities— Some Arrests Cor Cases in “They are here,” was the significant re- merk of Seymour Butler, one of the shrewdest members of the Pinkerton force | who ne here this morning to assist the local authorities in their efforts to appre- hend crooks. This remark was made when he was told that M Lucy Jones, a clerk in the weather bureau, had been robbed of $80 while in the Baltimore and Potomac depot last night. Inspector Hollinberger’s office at police headquarters this morning was the scene of the gathering of a dozen of the shrewd- | est detectives in the country, who had at here from their different cities in the capture of crocks and the n of the guests and citizens, who are participating in the big Endeavorer gathering. From the monumental cit Herman Pohler aud Thomas F. en who have made reputations in their line in the apprehension of notable crovks from all secticns of the country, as weil us having done some excellent work in their own stale. Supt. Linden of the Philadelphia fores sent K. J. McKenty and James J. Doughy, while W. A. Abbott came from Beston. ‘Thomas A. Butler, M. J. Reidy and Daniel I. O'Connell cane from New York. These men were sent here because of their knowiedge of crimi- rals and because they are acquainted with sv many confidence men and professional pickpockets. The crowds at the depots are good places for these professional thieves to opcrace and consequently Inspector Hollinb-rger has them weil protected. At the Baltimore end Ohio depot the crowd 1s especially Well protected because of the fact that Supt. Jolin Lieyd of the railroad detective force is there with three of his best men, | James Hutchinson, Michael Reardon and Columbus Mead. Supt. Lloyd succeeded Capt. Grannan, whose successful career as chief of the detectives was followed by his appointment as judge of one of the Baltimore courts. When Capt. Grannan retired from this service he named Supt. Lioyd as his successor, because the latter had made so good a record in the com- pany’s service, and his presence here at this time means that most of the noted crcoks will steer clear of the depot. From these detectives inspector Hollinberger ex- pects good service during the present cele- bration. At the Baltimore and Potomac depot things are different. The Pennsyi- vania Railroad Company renders no as- sistance of this kind, so the police say, and the crowd has to be looked after by the members of the local force, and those from other cities who are here in the employ of the District. Charles Anderson, the alleged noted crook arrested last’ Friday at the Balti- more and Ohio depot by Precinct Detective Hartigan, was seen by the visiting de- tectives today, and some of them were in court to give evidence against him, among them beirg Seymour Butler, the Pinkerton man, and Supt. Lloyd of the Baltimore and Ohio detective service. But their evidence was not heard, as the prisoner's counsel, Lawyer Carrington. did not care to make a contest. Anderson, as heretofore published in The Star, was accused of having attempted to pick the pocket of a lady in the Baltimore and Ohio depot iast Friday, but the lady, who is in Baltimore, refused to come here, and so the charge filed against the prisoner was vagrancy and suspicion. Precinct Detective Hartigan and Balti- more and Ohio Policeman Gunther gave evidence concerning the prisoner's move- ments about the depot, where he stazgered around in the crowd pretending he was drunk. “He said his calling was not that of an honest man,” said one of the officers. When Supt. Lloyd was called as a wit- ness Mr. Carrington gave notice ihat he would make no further contest, and was willing to give bond for his client. Judge Kimball required him to give bond in the sume of $200, which he gave, and was released from custody. —_—— Examination for Electrotype Mold- ers.
