Sept. 23—The Demo- ic convention which met at Bozeman to-day had but two nominations to make one for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court Interest in col}'.‘emlon around the action of the State Centrgl | Committee, which met this mornmg. | There were two contesting delegations, from Silver Bow County and one om Granite. One Silver Bow delegation centered headed by United States Senator Clark and the other by F. Augustus Heinze. The State Committee by a vote of 21 to 4 decided to seat the Clark dele- gation. The committee also decided that the convention would meet at 5 o’clock with Senator Clark as temporary chair- man. Under the decision of the commit- tee the Clark people controlled the con- vention. The convention did not meet until 9 as temporary chairman and after he had made an address committees were ap- pointed and the convention took a recess until morning. There is a fight in the committee on credentials on the seating of the two delegates from Silver Bow. Pledged to Judge Hawley.

The fire tugs Governor Irwin and Gov- ernor Markham were at Union street wharf when the fire alarm sounded. They were at the scene of the fire in about five minutes and inside of ten minutes both tugs had their water batteries turned on the flames. The Markham also contrib- uted two streams from her hose. When the fire had been subdued the Modoc was towed to Oakland, where she will be repaired. The river steamer Gar- den City was lying astern of the Modoc and her crew rendered willing and ef- fectual service in saving the passengers and crew of the burning vessel. OIL NOT RESPONSIBLE. The Modoc was last May licensed to burn ofl, but not until two weeks ago was she equipped with furnaces for liquid fuel, Rumor had it that the fire had started in some part of the ofl burning apparatus, but an examination made after the fire had been extinguished showed that in- stead of causing the fire the vessel's equipment with the new apparatus had saved her from the disaster, the horror and devastation of a boiler explosion, When the fire occurred the Modoc had a full head of steam. At the first alarm Chief Engineer Androus, who was on watch, turned off the oil supply and thus extinguished the fires under the boilers, He left the injectors working, however, and these, keeping the bollers supplied with water, averted the catastrophe which usually accompanies the burning of steamships. Just how the fire occurred is not known but it is thought that it resulted from the spilling of some acid, a consignment of which formed part of the vessel's cargo. Superintendent Mackenzie, who made an inspection of the steamer after the fire, sald that the oil burning apparatus was intact and had had no connection what- gver either as a cause or stimulus of the re. George Kingsland, a well-known engi- neer, was. on the wharf when. the fire below and | broke out. He sald it started about amid- % ships and followed the taking on board of a truckload of acld. He heard somebody say that one of the jars had broken and ihe stuff was running all over the place. Then came the smoke, and like a flash the whole steamer was ablaze. { Among the passengers was Mrs, H, Be- gul, wife of a well-known farmer of Rio | ta. She was blinded by smok: and | ould have perished h; deck hand led her to tne wharf. Mrs. T. M. Wilson, also of Rio Vista, wi per deck with Elwin, when the rushed to the forward end of the vessel, | but at once realized that ali means of escape there had gone. She went aft. and with the assistance of :ome of the | life savers was taken ashore NO RECORD OF NAMES. Just who all of the pa were can not be ascertained. Tickets are sold for the trip as on the local train and no | names re taken. As the boat had not yet started on the trip the purser had no cpportunity to become acquainted . with those on board or to obtain any informa- ton concerning them. There were s eral men and women and six or seven children. A number of Chinese and Jap- anese were amcng the passengers, Captain Enos I'ouratt, who commanded the burned vessel, has been in the employ of the Southern Pacific Come pany for a number of vea He was at his “station just preparatory to leaving when the firé broke cut, and at once went | below where he commanced the crew in | the work of rescue. During the progress | of the fire the captain stood by on tne| wharf and when the flames had been suf- ficiently subdued to permit any one to penetrate the ruins, he at once went aboard and took charge of the saving of the ship’s papers and effects. ‘“We were just preparing to leave—in fact the signal for the lifting of the gang planks had been sounded,” sald the captain, "“when the cry of fire was raised. Our sailing time was 1 o'clock and it must have been an act of Providence that caused the delay, because if we had steamed into the Stream there certainl would have been a loss of life, aithough I think we could have rescued many of the passengers and crew in our boats. | The crew behaved well and I am quite | sure the men could have loaded all of the people in their charge into boats, though they might have perished them: selves. SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION. ““What caused the fire is still conjegture, so far as I am concerned. When I #hirned my head at the cry of fire, smoke was ascending from below and in an incred- | ibly short time the entire ship was ablaze. | The smoke first came from amidships, on which side I could not tell from where I stood. It belched forth all over and soon spread from end to end. After the fire our oil tanks were found to be intact, and as the current was not on the elec- | tric wires cannot be held accountable for | the accident. ~The only plausible theory is that spontaneous combustion ignited some inflammable matter. What the car- | go consisted of I cannot tell, but I un-| derstand that acid and alcohol were on boar;:i. bltumnyhhti pnssikzl;; that the heat of the bollers had something to d ft. but T hardly think so.” = ey The Modoc is the property of the South- ern Pacific Company and has been in ser- vice on the Sacramento River for some time. She was constructed in 1880. She had a wooden hull 204 feet in length, 42 feet 3 inch beam and drew 8§ feet of water. Her gross _tonnage was 929 and net ton- nage 779. She is a_complete wreck so far as her upper works are concerned, and the flames had eaten through the decks in many places. An examination made after the firemen had ceased their labors shows that the machinery did not suffer much except from water. The oil burn- ing fixtures and tanks were not damaged. The hull was not damaged to any great extent. Originally the vessel cost $75,000. ‘The loss has been fixed at about one-third seited on the up- | ght-year-old som, | larm was sounded.

Murphy is wanted by the United States CHICAGO, Sept. 23.—One of the most to be that of Cormelius Murphy, an old resi- dent, who had been {ll for several days postal autherities on a charge of forging the name of John A. McFee to four postal meney orders amounting to $400. Mur- phy and his young wife are supposed to bave fled to San Francisco. On July 26 Murphy presented four money orders at the Los Angeles post- cffice. His identification as McFee was made by his wife, an acquaintance of Miss Mabel Skofstad, the postal clek Who made the payment. Two weeks ago McFee, who attained local notori- ety through a twenty-eight days’ 1ast, inquired at the postottice about the money orders, which had failed to reach him: An Inspec- tion of the orders, which were re- turned from the Postoffice Department at ‘Washington, showed that they had bee: paid, and Miss Skofstad recalled the cir- (umstances under which she made the payment. She had known Mrs.” Murphy Lefore her marriage, but did not know her husband, hence the error in payment to the forger, who was introduced as Mec- Tee. Shortly after the transaction at the postoffice Mrs. Murphy appeared at the home of her parents and sald she had en- gaged as traveling companion with a lady and that she was about to leave the city. Since that time nothing has been heard of her or Murphy. No one knows whence Murphy came. He claimed to be an upholsterer, nnhnulglh e formed the acquaintance of a voung girl of 19, who, despite the protests of her parents, married him. Out of sympathy for the daughter Murphy was taken into began abusing his young wife and was or- dered away. His wife went with him and it was not long afterward that the couple fled with the proceeds of the alleged money orders swindle. The greatest mystery connected with the transaction Is as to how Murphy came into possession of the money orders. Mec- Fee’s mall all comes addressed to 225 West First street and the letter containing the orders was so addressed. As Murphy is never known to have stopped at the place the only theory is that he walked into the house and stole the letter from the public table In the hall.
