ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

lbfkDlAL III TdE
CHICAGO, July 5.-The anti-monopoly
convention wal called to order to-day st
10 O'Clock. Expressions Of regret with
reference to the d~isorderly proceedings OF
yesterday were rife among the delegates,
and hopes were expressed that to-day's
business would be free from strife. The
Chairman, at the opening Of the confer
ence, said he had seen that the city news
papers predicted . stormy time for to-day,
with q possible break up and a free fight
before the close. II was the duty Of the
conference to let the newspapers and the
world perceive that every one was here
with q duty to perform, and not for
tumult or disorder. A communication
from the anti-monopolists Of Oregon was
read by the Secretary, regretting that no
delegate from that region was able to at
tend, and hoping that the conference
would be conducted in . manner that
would strike terror to the hearts of all
greedy and soulless corporation ~tYrants.
Letters Of g similar nature we're received
from the central Office Of the Peoples
Party Of New York, @. @. Garter, head Of
the ~anti-monopoly movement in New Jer-
sey, and others were read, drawing forth
heavy rounds Of applause. Mrs. Marion
Todd of California made . very forcible
speech. She declared that the anti-mo-
nopoly party would yet issue q new Dec
l~aration Of Independence, one that could
not be ignored, one that should be men,
orable forever. She was loudly applauded.
Anderson Of Michigan moved that a vote
Of the convention be taken on the forma-
ton of . new party. Mr.. Barnes of Ne
braska was personally willing to put his
own views in allegiance for the purpose OF
harmony, and moved that every question
be dropped, save the question Of the sup
preston Of all kinds Of monopoly, but es-
pecially Of railroad monopoly. A dozen
delegates, jumping simultaneously to
their feet, and wrestling for . chance to
speak on the tariff question, the Chair
announced that the five-minute rule for
speeches would be rigidly enforced. Mr..
Wolf Of New York implored the conven-
ton to leave the tariff alone, and confne
itself to anti-monopoly; it was suicide to
drag in any other question.
The Breaking Out OF SMALLPOX.
ST.. Louis, July 5.-Considerable alarm
was caused to-day by the discovery Of q
bad case Of smallpox in the Bethel Home
Lodging-house, crowded with roustabouts
and river hands. The man had been in
the building some days, and it is q very
dangerous spot for the infection to propa-
gate. Four other cases were discovered in
other parts Of the city, and all five were
sent to quarantine. Some weeks ago the
number Of cases was considerably reduced,
and people thought the danger had sub
sided. Now there are nearly 100 cases at
quarantine, and 1t is reported that . num-
Der are under observation at private
dwellings. The disease is not declared
epidemic in any particular locality, but
cases are breaking out in spots all over the
city. In the last two days fifty cases have
been sent to quarantine, and Z good many
houses placarded. Most Of the cases are
traceable to immigrants and arrivals by
the river, and the proposition Of the ILL
nois State Board Of Health to apply quar-
antine regulations to strangers meets with
much favor.
The Result Of ReekIessness.
ERIE, Pa, July 5.-Albert Kuhn, while
riding in . street car yesterday afternoon,
recklessly fred . pistol from the window
and instantly killed ayoung girl named
Mary Steiner. Frank Kuhn, Albert's
brother, committed suicide soon after hear
ing Of the deed. Another brother, George,
took . horse and buggy to drive into the
country to inform his father Of the double
tragedy. The night was dark and he drove
of an embankment, wrecking the carriage
and narrowly escaping serious injuries.
The child shot was distantly related to the
murderer, and it 10 supposed that he fred
the revolver merely to brighten her. He
claims he thought 1t was loaded only with
blank cartridge. Frank was dr~eadfully
excited over the shooting, and being under
the influence Of liquor, and thinking his
brother would be convicted and hung, it
il supposed his mind became unbalanced
and he hung himself while in that state Of
mind.

CHICAGO, July 5.-Chicago paid dearly

up SO. This included three deaths. Five
persons we're fatally wounded, and 20 more
or less hurt and MANNED for life, and five
