AGREED IN SHORT ORDER Proyisional Committeemen From Thirty-Three States Hold a Conference. THIRD TICKET IN THE FIELD. Indianapolis Chosen as the Site for Holding the Rally to Make the Selections. INDIANAPOLIS, Inp., Aug. 7.—The conference of the sound-money Demo- crats fully met the expectations of its pro- moters. There were thirty-three States represented and about 200 Democrats from all over the country were in atten- dance. Though the most famous politi- cians were absent, this fact did not dampen the ardor or determination of those present to go ahead and putin the fielda a ticket and platform that would represent what they believed to be the real tenets of the Democratic party of the couatry. The conference reflected in large measure the class of Democrats it represented: that is, the business element. They went at their work in a business-like way, with- out waste of time. An informal confer- | ence was held -at noon, which was not | open to the public, the purpose of which | was to bring into line the members from | Texas, Georgia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Maine, who came here with the im- pression that a third ticket would prob-| ably do more harm than good by dividing | the sound-money forces of the country. “TAT this conference speeches were made by General Buckner of Keniucky, Mr. Outhwaite of Ohio, Mr. Wilson of Indi- ana and Mr. Ewing of Iilinois, demon- | strating the fact that in their States a| third ticket was necessary in order that tbe sound-money Democrats might have some rallying point, something to fight for and to make a campaign for. The declbred thatin this section of the country, where every inch of political ground bas been fought over year by year, ~arcis more in a volitical principle with the average voter, and large numbers of Democrats, who would be inclined to vote for a sound-money Democratic ticket, would swallow Bryan and the Chicago platiorm eventually, rather than vote the Republican ticket. Before the conference at noon ended all opposition to the calling of another con- vention was withdrawn and it was agreed that the meetings of the committee in the afternoon and evening should be public. 1so informally agreed that General M. Palmer of Illinois shounld be made anent chairman of the provisional P committee. Talks .among the delegates exhibited much confidence in the success of the sound-money movement. Neal of Georgia declared that his State contained about 40,000 Democrats who wduld not vote for Bryan. Tyler, the Kentucky member, de- clared that the so -money vote in his State would run anywhere from 30,000 to 50,000. H. C. Simms of West Virginia de- clared that they would poll about 5000 votes for the third ticket. T. M. Martin of Iowa declared that 25 per cent of the Democrats of Iowa were for sound money, and Ellis B. Usher of Wis- consin declared that fully 60 per cent of the Democrats of that State would be sgainst Bryan. Eugene Hagan of Kansas expressed the fear that the Bryan ticket would carry his State. John C. Bullitt of Pennsylvania, and in fact the Eastern men without exception, declared that Bryan would be overwhelmingly defeated in their Btates. J. H. Outhwaite of Ohio said there was not the slightest danger of free silver car- rying his State, and Mr. Ewing of Illinois declared that while the State was not yet safe, he did not believe Bryan could carry it. Jobn E. Bemms of Maryland said he thought a greater number of Maryland Democrsts would repudiate the Chicago platform than repudiated Gorman in the election of 1854, J. M. Falkner of Alabama expressed the belief that a sound money ticket would carry Alabama. E. M. W. Cutcheon of Minnesota re- gards that State as doubtful with the sit- unation very much mixed. At the evening session of the conference the formal call for the convention was adopted and a date fixed for September2. | The large assembiy-room of the Com- mercial Club was packed to the door with sbout 300 people at 2:30 o’clock. Con- gressman Bynum calied the conference to order, explaining that he did so'in the ab- sence of General Bragg, chairman of the executive committee, who had been de- layed by a washout. He announced that General Palmer was also on the road and would arrive shortly. In view of these facts the executive committee had sug- gested thet the permanent organization of the provisional committee be postponed until this evening, at 8:30 o’clock, and they proceed for the present under the terporary organization. Mr. Ewing of Illinois was made tem- porary secretary. A rolicall of States was taken and it was found that thirty-three | political_prineivles heid in common. | Democratic party, during its whole history, ; Massachusetts—Nathan Matthews, Bos- on.

Pond of S8an Francisco, the Cali- fornia committeeman, and Edgar S, Wil- | son, the representative of Mississippi, did not put in an appearance. There was prolonged applause when Mr. Bynum an- nounced :hat thirty-three States were represented, covering the country from Maine and Florida to Washington and Texas. No time atall was wasted in de- termining the main question, which had already been practically decided by a can- vass of the members of the committee. Mr. Ewing read the resolutions adopted at the Auditorium conference in Chicago as authority for the action of the present gathering, As soon as he finished, Mr. Outhwaite of Oh1o moved that a committee of five be appointed by the chair to pre- pare a call for a National convention to nominate a Democratic candidate for President and a Democratic candidate for Vice-President. The motion was adopted amid great ap- plause. Even the Texans, who had been talking for indorsement of the Republican ticket, raised no objections. Mr. Bynum named the following committee: J. H. Outhwaite, Ohio; Charles Tracey, New | York; J. M. Faulkner, Alabama; L. C. Krauthoff, Missouri; F. W. McCutcheon, St. Paul. The committee retired at once. The main question of whether or not a conven- tion should be called bLaving thus been disposed of, the conference proceeded to select a location, and in this Indianapolis won right handily by a vote of 19 against 6 for Memphis and 2 for Louisville. At the evening session General Tracey of New York nominated for chairman of the provisional committee Senator Jobn M. Paimer of Illinois. The selection was made by acciamation. General Palmer made a brief speech, in the course of which he said: “It devolves upon us to form the nu- cleus about which the Democratic party of the country that elings fo the principles I of organization may gather. Ft is our duty to preserve an organization in order that we may be ready when our erring brethren see the folly of their ways, and when God has forgiven them, to receive them back and reconsiruct a united party.” John R. Wilson of Indianapolis was made secretary ana John P. Frenzel of this city treasurer. Mr. Outhwaite, chair- man of the sub-committee, reported the csll for the convention as follows: To the Democrats of the United States: A polit- cal party has always been defined to be an as- sociation of voters to promote the success of The has been pledged to promote the liberty of the individual, the security of private rights and property and the supremacy of the law. It has always insisted upon a safe and stabie money for the people’s use. It has insisted upon the maintenance of the financial honor of the Nation, as well as upon the preservation inviolate of the institutions established by the constitution. These, its principles, were abandoned by the supposed representatives of a party at a National con- vention recently assembled at Chicago. The Democratic party will, therefore, cease to exist unless it be preserved by the voluntary action of such of its members as still adhere to its fundamental principles. No majority of members of that convention, however large, had any right or power to sur- render those principles. Whep they under- took to do so that assemblage ceased to be a Democratic convention. The action taken, the irregular proceedings and the platform enunciated by that body were and areso ut- terly and indefensibly revolutionary and constitute such radical departures from the principles of true Democracy, which should cnaracterize a sound and patriotic administra- tion of our country’s affairs, that its results are not entitled to the confidence or support of true Democrata. For the first time since National parties were formed there is not before the American people a piatiorm declaring the principles of the Democratic party as recognized and most courageously and consistently administered by Jefferson, Jackson and Cleveland, nor are there nominees for the offices of President and Vice-President of the United States pledged to carry those principles into practical effect. The faithful and true Democrats of the United States are determined that these prin- ciplesshall not be ruthlessly surrendered nor the people be deprived of an opportunity to vote for candidates in accord therewith. Therefore, the National Democratic party of the United States, through its regularly con- stituted committee, hereby calls a National convention of that party for the announce- ment of its platform and the momination of candidates for the offices of Presiddnt and Vice-President and the transaction of such business as is incidental thereto, to be held at Indianapolis on Wednesday,the second day of September, 1896, at 12 o’clock, noon, and hereby requests that the members of the party in the several States who believe in sound money and the preservation of law and order, and who are unaliterably opposed to the platiorm and candidates named at Chicago, will seleet iz such manner as to them shali seem best a nnmber of delegates to the same equal to twice the num- ber of electoral votes to which such States are respectively entitled. Such delegates shall be duly accredited according to the ussges of the Democratic party. Their credentials shall be forwarded or delivered to the secretary of this committee with all convenient speed, and this committee will make up and announce the States were represented by committeemen present, either in person or by proxy, as follows: Alabama—J.

The reading of this document was greeted with applanse and there was no doubt it would be adopted without dis- sent. Notuing else was left to be done, and the gendemen present indulged in something of a love-feast in discussing the report. C. C. Mumford of Rhode Island raised tbe point that in his State tho law precluded the possibility of the use of the word ‘“‘Democratic.” Outhwaite said this subject had been Continued on Second Page. — | the | This Paper not | | to be taken from Library:t¢¢ <y MICHIGAN SOLID FOR McKINLEY Senator Burrows Has Good News for Republican Leaders. | BIG MAJORITIES CERTAIN It Is Also Assured That the Next Congress Will Be Quite Safe.

CHICAGO, IrL., Aug. 7.—Senator Bur- rows of Michigan called at Republican headquarters to-day and announced his readiness to begin work at once. He was assigned dates for speeches at points in Illinols and Indiana this month. In an interview BSenator Burrows said that Michigan will give McKinley from 25,000 to 50,000 majority, and Mayor Pingree of Detroit will be the next Governor. Congressman Babcock of Wisconsin, chairman of the Republican Congressional Committee, said to-day that judging by reparts so far received, he had no doubt the Republicans will have a ma- jority in the next Congress. Congressman Hull of Iowa said that State will go Republican. E. B. Stevenson, chairman of the Lan- caster County Republican Committee, Mr. Bryar’s home county, was a visitor at headquarters. He told Mr. Dawes that the local pride enthusiasm over Bryan’s nomination had died and that the county would go Republican by 2000 majority. He said big McKinley clubs had been formed in every precinct. g e DEPEND UPON RERUBLICANS. Cuban Citizens {0 Support MeKinloy and Hobart. CHICAGO, Iun., Aug. 7.—Prominent members of the local Cuban colony have received from New York and Philadelphia copies of resolutions adopted by the Amer- ican-Cuban League and the Cuban-Ameri- can League, urging all Cubans who are citizens of the United States to aid in the election of McKinley and Hobart, on the ground that these eandiaates are favor- ably disposed toward those who are strug- gling for the independence of the island. ——-— ALL DIFFEREANCES SETTLED.

CORRUPTION AT CRIPPLE CREEK. | \] | The Work of Reform Is Commenced by the Suspension of a Police CRIPPLE CREEK, Covo.;, Aug. 7.—Ata svecial meeting of the City Council at 11 o’clock to-day Pelice Judge R. G. Mulien was suspended for an indefinite period. J. W. Brewer was given a temporary ap- pointment to the office. For several weeks an investigation of Mullen’s official actions has been in prog- ress, revealing a deplorable state of affairs in the conduct of the office of police magistrate. Mullen was tried be- fore Judge Parkison of Victor yesterday oa a charge of perjury. Upon returning home after his trial Mullen assaulted a reporter, severely maltreating him, and then disappeared from camp. Judge Parkison was to have rendered a decision to-day at 1 o'clock, but Mullen failed to appear. The better element of the city has be- come thoroughly aroused over the ex- posures of thievery by municipal officers, and they propose to make it warm for the ring. Mullen is in Colorado Springs, and upon his return to this camp he will prob- ably be held to the District Court for perjury and fined for contempt of court. Other arrests will follow, and a general cleaning up of the recreant officials of the city will occur. DEATH MET IN & WRECK, Lo | PROTECTION AND DROSPERITY W PMICKINLE Y, TRHN-WRECKERS FOLED AT BEA Second Attempt to Ditch Engine and Cars at a ! Culvert. TIES ON Discovered in Time to Prevent a Disaster and Possible Loss of Life. PROBABLE WORK OF TRAMPS. Believed to Be Bent on Revenge for Being Prevented From Stealing Rides. RENO, NEv., Aug. 7.—For the second time within twenty-four hours an attempt has been made to wreck a train on the Central Pacific Railroad near this place. While the excitement over the first at- tempt, detailed in THE TaLr's dispatches yesterday, was at its height, news of the second was received: Both were made at the same place—a culvert on the main track about a mile west of this place. It is believed that revenge is the motive of the would-be tram-wreckers. As soon as the news of yesterday’s nar- rowly averted tragedy reached Reno, offi- Five Yonng Men Lose Their |cers went to the scene and searched Lives While Stealing a Ride to Chicago. the neighborhood, but without success. Word was also sent to the railroad headquarters at Sacramento. The search had scarcely been abandoned when word arrived that the wreckers had again placed With a Carload of Sheep They Are | obstructions on the track. As the freight Mangled in a Most Shocking Manner. train running between Truckee and Reno reached the spot the engine almost ran into a lot of loose ties that had been piled on the track. Fortunately Engineer DES MOINES, Towa, Aug. 7.—Five men | Cronin saw them in time and succeeded were killed in & wreck on the. Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad at Leighton this morning. They were all residents of Des Moines, trying to steal a ride to Chicago.. They are: Wilbur Kuehner, Ea Garry, Robert Garry, William Shea and an an- known man. They were all young men out of work and had boarded a fast freight train bound eastward, trying to get to Chicago to get work there. Just as the train was entering Leighton an axle broke on the twelitn car from the engine. This was a double deck sheep car and in it the men were riding. The car was thrown across the track and broke in two. There were nine cars in the rear and they were piled on top in a fearful wreck. The tramn had been running forty miles an hour. The coupling broke on the wrecked car and the forward part of the train was not injured. The five men were crushed horribly under it. One deck of the car was loaded with sheep and the men were thrown in with the sheep and all crushed to death. Shea had both legs and one arm broken and has since died. It was several hours before the wreck could be so clesred away that the men could be reached. Themain line of the Rock Island was blocked and trains were run around the wreck on other lines. —_— \: in stopping his train before he reached them. From the way the ties had been placed on the track it was evident the train-wreckers had worked very hurriedly, evidently fearing interruption. The first attempt was discovered last night, when passenger train 1 reached the spot. The train was going along at a lively rate, when the engineer saw a big iron pulley wheel, weighing 1000 pounds, on the'track, right ahead, Itlay overand partly between two of the ties of the cul- vert, and when the engineer saw it he be- lieved that a wreck was inevitable. ‘He re- versed the engine and succeeded in check- ing the speed of the train, but was not able to completely stop it. < The engine struck the obstruction with a crash that completely smashed the pilot, bat fortunataly the pulley wheel was lflba‘ out of the hole. Before the train could be stopped the ponderous mass of iron had been pushed along the track for several hundred feet. An investigation of the circumstances showed that there could be no doubt that a deliberate attemptat train-wrecking had been made. The wheel which had been placed on the track was an old one that had for at least a year laid alongside of the track. Whoever was concerned in the crime had with much labor placed it on the track Brasil’s Sovereignty Over Twinidad. |and had then rolled it for fully half a mile NEW YORK, N.Y., Aug. 7.—Senator A. | to the culvert, where it was found.

Railroad Detec- tives W. Brazell and A. Hern of Sacra- mento arrived here early this morning and took chargs of the case. The.railroad officers are greatly excited, and are deter- mined to run down the guilty parties. All the Reno officers are out looking for clews, and the railroad detective force will prob- ably be increased during the day. It is believed that the attempted wreck- ing is the work of tramps, who were put off the trains, and who have taken this method of getting revenge. From the character of the two attempts it seems hardly likely that robbery could have been the motive, for robbers would not-at- tempt to derail 4 switch freight train after failing to wreck an express train. There lju‘qfin good many tramps in this neighborhood of late, and. it is probable that'a grand round-up will take place to ascertain whether any of them can be con- nected with the train-wrecking attempt. Two men have already been arrested on suspicion. They were found in the neigh- borhood of the culvert, and not being able to give a satisfactory account of their movements . were placed in jail. They have the appearance of being tramps. They are confined in separate cells, and the stories they have told since arrested do not hang together. FREED BY TEMPE CITIZENS, Two Gypsy €irls Liberated by Force From the Town Jail. PHENIX, Ariz, Aug. 7.—Forty lead- ing citizens of Tempe at noon to-dsy went in a body to the city jail and liberated two gYPSY girls, one sentenced a half hour be- fore to fifteen days’ imprisonment for us- in.{ abusive language in the presence of a half-breed Mexican girl, and the other awaiting trial for the same offense. The testimony showed great provocation, as the daughter of a Deputy Constable had kicked dust inte bread being baked by the gypsies. IATOM BHADT CHASE A Posse Came Within Rifle- shot of the Nogales Bank Raiders. Officers Are Sent to Bull Springs to Intercept the Fleeing Outlaws. NOGALES, Arrz., Aug. 7.—Frank M. King returned. this afternoon from the pursuit of the bandits who attempted to rob the International Bank yesterday. «He left the posse this morning thirty-five miles from Nogales. It was still on a hot trail. The posse is now composed of 8. F. ‘Webb, Collector of Customs; C. J. Mehan, Chinese Inspector; Joe Carbon, George Christ, Captain C. B. Kelton, H. W. Brady, Albert P. Behan and six Mexican gendarmes. 4 King returned to wire to Bisbee to send 8 posse to Bull Springs, on San Pedro River, .whither the robbers are heading. There they have miny friends. Sheriff Leatherwood arrived to-day from Tucson with Deputy Doyle, and will leave with Deputies Broderick and Doyle and Mounted Inspectors Webb and Miller on the next train for Bisbee. There they will take horses to meet the robbers. Tw#o horses which the robbers were com- pelied to leave at & ranch on Santa Cruz River were found to-day. They had be- come exhausted, and their riders stole one horse from a corral on the ranch and tried to catch two others in a field. At one time the posse came in sight of the bandits, who were about half a mile away, on a little mesa. King and Carbon, who were armed with long-range rifles, dis- mounted to shoot, but on the advice of their comrades did not, as after a con- sultation it was decided that it would only ‘put the robbers on guard. That was the last seen of the bandits, as darkness soon came on. Tbe posse wasat one time only fifteen minutes’ ride be- hind them and passed within a few yards of where they had camped, but it was so dark that the pursuers could see noth:fi. The trail was again taken up early -m .

HIS BODY AT LAST RECOVERED Wnn_ped in Blankets and Slid Down the Steep Side of the Mountain. VICTORIA, B. C., Aug. 7.—Full particu- lars of Monday’s tragedy at the Canadian National Park, when Philip S. Abbott, as- sistant solicitor of the Wisconsin Central Railroad, lost his life by falling overa precipice, were received here to-day. Ab- bott and three other American tourists left their hote! at Banff on Monday morn- ing fully equipped for a long day’s moun- tain climbing. They drove to Lake Louise, a beautiful resort among the peaks of the Rockies, about sixieen miles from Banff. Taking ropes and other necessary equip- ments, they staited early in the day to climb one of the highest mountain peaks in the neighborhood. They reached a point about 2000 feet above the lake, when further ascent becoming dangerous, the four adventurers tied themselves together with ropes. They climbed another 100 feet until they arrived at a difficuit spot, which 1t was impossible for tbe four to pass together. The rope was therefore un- tied, and Abbott, being the best climber, volunteered to lead the way. All went well with him for a few yards, as he cautiously picked his way, inch by inch, up the steep and pathless declivity. At last reaching upward to what appeared to be a solid projecting bowlder, he grasped it with both hands and had almost suceeeded in pulling himself up when the rotten bowlder gave way, and, with & cry of horror, he wildly clutched at the air and fell into the abyss below. His body bounded from rock to rock until it was stopped by a narrow jutting-erag, whioh m‘flfiut prevented a fall of 2000 feet It toox the three survivors four hours to descend to where the body rested. The ropes having fallen with him they were compelled to use the utmost care. Abbott was breathing but unconscious when they reached him. An endeavor was made to bring him down, but he expired in a few moments, and they were obliged to tem- porarily leave his body where he died, at 8 point over 10,000 feet above sea leval. There it was recovered on Thursday afternoon, the rescuers being obliged to wrap it in blankets and let it slide fora distance of 2000 feet down the mountain side. It was conveyed with difficulty to Laggan, whence it will be shipped to Bos- ton for interment. The present is the first vear since the establishment of Canada’s National Park in the heart of the Rockies that peak- climbing has been made the fad by the many tourists spending midsummer weeks along the line of the Canadian Pacific, although Fred Remington and Julian Ralph as long ago as 1888 scaled some of the most formidable of the snow- covered peaks. To-day a telegram from Glacier ane nounces that the summit of Rogers Peak, the monarch of the hermit range ot Sel- kirks, has been reached by the Appalach- ian Club party of Boston, one of whose members was the unfortunate Abbott. Both Rogers and Lefroy are very rugged, and the altitude exceeds even that of the Swiss peak scaled by Pulzen in 1880. ELOPE FEOM SILVERTON. Flight and Capture of a Married Woman and a Youth. OREGON CITY, Or., Aug. 7.—Henry Baller and Mrs. Lizzie Froede were arrested here this evening on a telegram from Silverton, which said they had run away with a livery team from Given's stable of that place. They hired the team yesterday morning to drive to Salem, the understanding being that they would re- turn to Silverton the same day. Instead of returning they came to this city. When they drove to Noblitt’s stable to put up the team they were identified by the description that had preceded them, and were.at once turned over to a Deputy Sheriff, who happened to be near. Baller is a country boy, 19 years old, and is apparently enamored of the woman, who is 30. The woman is the mother of three children and her husband is a thrifty man who always has well pro- vided for her. It is not believed that Mrs. Froede will be criminally prosecuted, but a divorce suit will result.
