LOS ANGELES, Aug. 2—The Misses Susie Carpenter and Katie Ridgway were yesterday heroines of an exciting episode in the surf at Redondo. They made brave efforts to save from drowning their com- panion, Miss Helen Wells, and succeeded. That Miss Wells is to-day alive is due to the act of the two young women, although Miss Carpen- ter nearly lost her life in the effort to save her friend. The three, who are daughters of well-known Los Angeles citizens, were bathing in Redondo surf. Miss Wells ventured out too far, and finding herself helpless in the breakers, cried for help. Miss Carpenter swam to her assistance, but Miss Wells, like all drowning persons, be- came unmanageable, and Miss Carpenter's danger became as great as that of the friend she was trying to save. Both girls would have drowned but for the aid of Miss Ridgway, an expert swimmer, who hastened to their aid and by dint of hard work managed to get them to the life raft.

MARYLAND DEMOCRATS MAKE NOMINATIONS BALTIMORE, Aug. 2—The Democratic State Convention, which was held at Ford's Opera-house in this city to-day, resulted in the nomination of the follow- ing ticket: Governor, John Walter Smith of Wor- cester County. Attorney General, Isidor Rayner of Bal- timore. Comptroller, Joseph N Carroll County. The convention was unusually harmoni- ous and all the nominations were made by acclamation, Edwin Warfield, Mr. Smith's principal opponent, withdrawing W. Herring of at the last moment and placing the suc-‘ cessful candidate in nomination. John Walter Smith, the nominee Governor, is a banker and resides in Snowhill,” Worcester County. He has served in the State Senate for three con- secutive terms and was elected to Con- gress last November from the First Dis- trict. Isidor Rayner, the nominee for Attorney General, is a lawyer and has long beer prominent in political and social circles of the State.

The anti-Goebel conference here for the purpose of calling a State conven- tion and nominating another Democratic State ticket, or part of one, was in some respects perhaps the most remarkable po- litical gathering ever held in Kentucky The conference was composed of leading | farmers and professional men, only a few | politicians being in the assembly. It was manifest from the beginning that the feeling was not against the whole ticket but against its head, and althpugh other nominations may be made against those of the Louisville convention the op- position will be mainly directed toward the defeat of Willlam Goebel. The gathering was larger than expect- by actual count in the auditorium. Thirty counties were represented. A committee on resolutions composed of one from each district and two for the State at large were appoint- ed. When this committee retired to draft resolutions John Young Brown was es- corted to the platform and made a vigor- ous, impassioned si).eeqh in denunciation of the course of the Louisville convention. The resolutions committee report recom- mended the indorsement of Bryan and the Chicago platform, denounced the methods of the Loulsville convention to secure the nomination of Willlam Goebel, declared that the report of the committee on cre- dentials of the Louisville convention was secured by shameful and fraudulent tac- ties, denounced “McKinleyism” and other national affairs and provided that the convention be held in Lexington on Wednesday, August 16, to declare prin- ciples and nominate candidates for the November election. Each county or legis- Jative district was urged to appoint dele- gates to the convention, each county being entitled to one vote for every 200 votes or fraction over 100 polls cast for W. J. Bryan in 1895. It was further resolved that Major P.P.Johnston is now the reg- ular and legal chairman of the State Dem- | Our Work.” FOUR HIGHWAYMEN BUFFALO, Aug. 2—A special to the Express from Corey, Pa., says: A bold highway robbery took place in this city at 11 o’clock last night, when patrons of the Pawnee Bill show were returning to their homes.

The robbery took place on S ieizobhars hag d e robbers had destroyed the arc li leaving the road in Garkness. and ith drawn revolvers they proceeded to stop the people and carriages, blocking the street until at least 500 people were held. Charles Parton, a hackman, made an at- tempt to drive on. The four men opened fire upon him, but none of the bullets took effect. The people in the rear of the crowd, hearing the shots, became panic stricken and made a rush’ for their ilves. A man named Smith, a peanut vender was relieved of about $60.
