The democratic city convention was held yesterday afternoon at Washington hall and the ticket solected as is above stated. There were no rows, no discussions, no «contests—save oncof minor importance—no policemen, nothing but harmony, mixed with ® slight amount of enthusiasm, Charley Connoyer was the most intense man in the body. 1le called the meeting to order when he was the only man in the hail. He again pounded the table when but @ half dozen delegates woere present and it is quite likely that he would have continued mauling the table until doomsday bad not. me legate ndvised him to ‘‘come off’ and not make a pious donkey of himself, Finally Connoyer subsided and there was silence in the convention for half an hour save tho remarks of the delegates who came tramping in, each advancing the claims of his favorite. Fivally when the crowd had assumed a respectable aspect Connoyer again yelled “order.” Then did » hush come over the muititude like a London fog on tho Bay of Biscay. Amid the profound silence that pr vailed Conuoyer read the call of the central committee and inguired what the further pleasure of the convention was, Pat rord responded by asking that the credentials of the various wards be hauded 10 the secretary. As no such ofice existed it was decided to elect one, together with & temporary chairman. The latter office holding tha prece- dence, nominations were declared in order. Mr. Ford of the Third ward, pominated Charles Ogden, while John J. Mationey pluced the name of C. J. Smyth of the Ninth in the field. Then up rose Tom Casey of the ['irst and moved that Charles Connoyer preside. Mr. Connoyer rose to a point of order und declared that he was not in the race for the reason that he fvas not eligible in view of the fact that he was nov @ delegate. The question was put to a vote aud Ogden was selected. Jerome Pentzel, a disgruntled candiaate for justice of the peace at the recent demo- oratic primary, wasselected as secretary and acknowledged himself as pacified. Business then proceeded. The credentialf were passed up and ac- cepted with one exception. Peter Goos of ‘waus disqualified and T, J. Melia substituted, This action was taken because of a clerical error in the tally sheet. C. J. Smyth moved thut the temporary or- ganization bo made permonent. It was dona, Whereupon Mr. Ogden remarked that nom- “inrtions for the office of mayor were in order. Frank Morrissey, an alternate from the Fourth, nominated R. C. Cushing, and W. R. Vaughn of the Daily Tax Iist and the Seyenth ward, seconded the nomination, In addition to this Vaughn moved that the nom- fnation be made unanimous. The later proposition carried, und for & few moments confusion held the reins and drove at o 2:40 t. When harmony bad once more resumea its sway C. J. Sm) th, Con Gallagher ana Frank Morrissey were sclected as & committee on resolutions, They didn't return, us there was 1o necessity forsuch action, but held theix report uutil later on. **Nominations for city comptroller are in order,”” shouted Mr. Ogden, . Then up rose the Daily Tax Tast, of the Seventh ward. “Mr, Chawrman,” said he, *I rise to nominate a man whom you ali know. | Cries of “Name him,” *‘Name bim.”] A man who came here in' years gone by |**Name bim"] and who has ‘been Lere ever since [*Name bim”] and who is_still here and proposes to reman here. I nominate John T. Evans.” \b‘nlnl applause. | Then Con Gullagher’s hirsutes floated upon the breeze. In a few choice postal remarks he presented the name of Charlie Goodrich. Vaughn moved the nominution of Evans by ucelumation, but when told that Good- rich was in the fight, subsided, A ballot was taken and Goodrich having recawed 40 votes to Kvans' 23, was declared the choice of the convention, the action afterward being made unaninous, C. J. Smyth then took the floor and re- marked that he did not wunt to make a speech, but he did just the same, When he hiud concluded James H. McShane was nom- inated for the office of treasurer. Delegate Gibson of the Fourth seconded the nomination for forty minutes, after ‘which. McShane was nomivated by accla- mation. "Then Pat Ford explained thav he had de- feated & man smoo year's ago, but was sorry for it and wanted to reform. Therefore, ho would nowinate Phil Aadres for police Judge. A Gibson of the Fourth ward spoke in favor .of A, C.Reed, but s speech cooked his candidate's goose, for Andres got there by u wvota of b6 to His nomination was made unanimous and candidates for~ councilmen-at-large were called for. ‘The First presented the aames of Thomas Ring, B, ¥. Madsen and Terence Boyle. The Second was prolific. James Donuelly, sr., John Schroeder, J. T. Mailendin, George Bruning and James Norton were put up, Adam Snyder of the Third offered Diclk Burdish. Joe Garneau of the Fourth sent in the name of James K. Gibson, whilo Ed, ©O'Connor of the Fifth suegested Hen Osthofl. G, W, Tierney of the Sixth, kd, Moriarity of the Seventh, Dan Angell of the Eightn, and Frank D, Cooper of the Ninth ‘were put on the list, uud then the auestion , “How shall we vot. * m Casey of the First moved tnat “each ward voto by itselt, and as it pleased, while Smyth suggested that when there ‘Were nocontests the nominations be ratified and a yote taken on the balance. ‘This carried and then tho Second ward contost came up. Donuelly was chosen on the second ballot by a vote of to Schroe- der’s 27, Norton 1. Madsen was nominated from the First by & vote of 40 to Ring's 12, Boyle 2.

The city was shodked shortly after noon yesterday by the report that Rev, Martin E. Sorenson hiad comwmitted suicide, and an in- vestigation corroborated the awful news, The story could scaveely be credited at first, and numerous fricnds hastened to the fam- ily residence, cornét’of Willow avenue and Eighth street, only to be told that it was io- deed true. The pody of the decensed clorgy- man was still lyingWnere it had been dis- covered a shory time before, in the little coal house in the “rear of the residence, awaiting the arrival”of the coroner, The surroundings guve evidence of the delibera- tion with which the deed was plavned and accomplis A Whilt had beea carefully folded and spread upoun the floor to serve as [ Ynllu. and two Overcoats were likewise folaed for a pillow. A small two.bladeil A)eu knife, with both blades open and covered with blood, lying close beside the héadt of the deceased,showed how the jugular vein had beeu severed and an artery in the lefv wrist opeved, ‘The deceased bad removed his overcoat, which was K\lced under his head. His collar and loft cuff were placed on n bench, and the vest bad been partially unbuttoned. = Every- thing had been dove toquietly but effectively put an end 1o his life. The surroundings indicate that the de- coased first stepped up 1o the litle window in the front of the building and opened an artery in the left wrist, as a small pool of blood just below the window and finger marks “on objects near by were probably caused in this way, It is probable that the flow was not fast enough, and recourse was then had to avother vlan. He had evidently then goue o bis pallet, lying down and re- olining upon his right arm, while with the left an incision was made 1o the neck and the ).::;ulr severed. A smali paint bucket had n 80 pluend as to catch the welling life fluid, and in this position, with his hufi resting upoa the wheel of 4 lawn mower for @ pillow, hie life had gone out. After viewing the remuins and compre- hendimg the situation, the coroner decided that there was no necessity for holding an inquest. Thore was no evidence to bo so- cured, and the ouly verdict to be rendered would be suicidal death while laboring under temporary mental aberration, The deceased was lust seen alive about 4 o'clock Kriday afternoon, when he left the house. He had stated during the afternoon that he was going to Omaha, and as he did not return that night, it was supposed that he was staying with his son in Omaha, The deed was done some time during Friday evemng, as the body was cold and rigid when found. The body was discovered by a step- daughter of the deceased, who went to the building to get a hatchot, She hastened to tell her mother, who could mot believe it, and rushed to the spot, ‘The shock produced by the shock was too much for her, and she removed to her room, where fricnds d for her during the afternoon, She was completely prostrated. ‘I'iie deceased was in his sixty und was marrivd to his presont wifo about a year ago, He came Lo this city from Omaha in the summer of 188§ to tuke charwe of St. Paul's church during the avsence of Rev. T. J. Mackay on his summer vacation. It was then that he met Mrs. Benson, whom he married a few months later.
