BALTIMORE, Sept. 26.-The democrats state
convention was called TO order NJ 1915 p. m.
by the Hon. Stevenson Archer chairman Of
the state central committee. James Hodges,
ex-mayor OF Baltimore, was chosen temporary
chairman. In his speech, Mr. Hodges criti-
cised severely the independent democrats OF
Baltimore, and designated them assistant re-
publicans The usual committees were then
appointed, and the temporary organization
made permanent. The committee on resOlu-
tons made It's report, and il was adopted.
The resolutions reafirm the platform adopted
by the national democratic convention Of 1883
at 81. Louis. They condemn trusts as having
Influenced serious injury upon the people and
which. unless arrested, will create great distress
by limiting the supply and ruinOusy enhanc-
ing the price of many articles Of prime neces-

of taxation may be equally distributed. The plat

morning the first attempt was made and
by noon the department had been called

under such circumstances as to leave no
doubt of incendiarism. Property valued
at over sixty thousand dollars was
DESTROYED. 4 number of men are

made to give an account OF himself. So

No Verdict Given i'm the Ives Case-Ives Re-
manded TO the Tombs.
NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-The jury in the
Ives case disagreed and has been dis
charged. At 1l:45 o'clock this morn
ing a communication was received
from the jury room. Ives, who was IN
the sheriff g Office, was sent for. When
he reached the court the jury was polled
and the recorder stated that the communi-
cation which he had just received from
the Jury room was to the effect that il was
the unanimous opinion of the Jury that
they could not find a verdict. The court
then ordered the discharge OF the Jury
men. The jury stood ten for con-
viction and two for acquittal.
Ives was remanded TO the tombs
When tine recorder discharged the Jury
there was rush of Ives friends TO shake
his hand. The young fnancer looked
smiling all around the court room. lie
was a little taken back, however, when he
heard the order Of the court given that he
be taken TO the tombs. IL is generally
believed that John G. Anderson, the
fourth Juror, and Man uel Williams, the
sixth Juror, were the two who stood out
for acquittal, The first ballot, il was
learned, stood eight for conviction and
four for acguittal.
Col. Fellows said after the case had
been disposed Of that Ives would be
placed on trial again as soon as the dis
trict attorneys office could make arrange
ments for IL. There would, Col. Fellows
thought, be a motion argued before Re-
cordor Smythe tomorrow which would
decide the place of abode OF the young
financier until his next trial His coun
sci, IL Is stated, will make every effort 10
have him placed in Ludlow-st. jail in
case he cannot get him out on bail.

figures. The directory has been carefully
compiled, and contains many statistics Of
interest relating 10 the flood.
