COLUMBIA, S. c., May lS.-The meeting
of the Alliance delegates to the State Dem
ocratic Convention was held last night IN
the House of Representatives. About 200
delegates were present, and many who are

firms faith in the Democratic principles
and demands free elections, untrampeled
by force bills or the Federal machinery,
demands financial reform and free coinage,
and protested against the nomination OF
Grover Cleveland as the representative OF
the money changers OF Wall street.
The conference broke up without settling
on any definite plan Of action in the

DrAra OF NICHOLAS oRAwLEY.
An Old Citizen of wheeling Passes Peace
fully Away.


At six O'Clock yesterday morning
Nicholas Crawley died at his apart
ments at No. 1913 Market street, of
complication of diseases, aged seventy
two years.
For several years past Mr.. Crawley
has been slowly but surely falling in
health, and during the past winter he
was rarely seen upon the streets. For
a couple Of months ne was almost con-
stantly confined to his room, and for
weeks 10 his bed, and death came yes
terday through gradual breaking
down of the vital forces. So .ar as
could be ascertained, yesterday, the de-
ceased left no immediate relatives in
this city or vicinity.
Mr.. Crawley was son of Patrick and
Margaret Crawley, and was born In
Pittsburg, in 1920. His parents were
born and reared in County WeStmeath,
Ireland, and came TO America about the
beginning of the year 1920. After a
brief residence in New York they went
TO Pittsburg in six horse wagon, over
the mountains, and while they were
there the subject OF this sketch was
born. While deceased was still small
boy his mother died, and his father mar
ried Winifred McGreuder, who bore
him two children, one son, now de-
ceased, and the other the wife Of Thomas
Mong, of Hagerstown, Nd. The father
survived his second wife several years,
and died at the age of seyenty-three.
Mir. Nicholas Crawiey came 10 Wheel
ing at an early age, but left TO complete
his education at Fayetteville, o., and at
ST. Mary'S College, Lebanon, Ky. Re-
turning to Wheeling, he engaged in the
grocery and wholesale liquor business,
and by thrift and industry built up a
competence. He died possessed Of con-
siderable real estate in the city, includ-
ing large slice of valuable ground on
the east side OF Market street, south
of Fourteenth, and also owned a fine
farm and considerable coal land in the
northern portion Of the county.
Although somewhat eccentric in some
regards, Mr.. Crawley was highly
esteemed by many friends, and his
death occasioned many expressions OF
regret.

A sen.atlonnI Divorce suIt.

WArERrowN, S. D., May 1S.-The fam
Gus divorce suit Of Alice Beverley Crane OF
New York, agsinst Walter H. Crane OF
London. has been rushed through and
Judge Andrews is expected to issue a. de-
cree. The case was peculiar and
very sensational. Both parties are sclons
Of very wealthy families and are cousins.
According to Mrs. Cranes story her
cousin took her for a cab drive one day IN
London and while in the vehicle he drew
revolver and told her he would kill her on
the spot If she did not marry him She says
she was too much FIJI ghtened to either con-
sent or demur, but that he ordered the cab
man 10 drive TO a church where they were
married with a license he had procured.
The next day he was called TO New York
and she did not see him again in three years.
She told her story to her mother in 1891 and
an unsuccessful attempt TO secure an annul-
meut Of the marriage was made IN London
courts Mrs Crane came 10 South Dakota
last November and in February tled suit
for divorce

woRKING WOMEN.

The impression has long been preva-
lent that immortality is more general in
manufacturing communities, where
there are muitiJudes Of young girls
working for slender wages, than else
where.
People who don't know anything about
working women have been ready with
their pity when one Of them has fallen,
accounting for it i'm the usual way, on
the ground that she was not to be so
seriously blamed when it was so diff
cult for her to earn enough to make
liie tolerab'e
But CARROLL ID. WRIGHT flashes a
light ON the subject which shows 10 up
in very different aspect. He is an au-
thority and he says with decided EN-
phasis;-
I believe this view 20 be absolutely false
and tha, Che working women OF this or any
other civilized country are upon as nigh a
plane OF purity as any class In the cOmmun-
ity make this statement upon positive
Investigations, which have carried as far
as it has been possible but not so far as
hope 90 carry them, and In whatever direc-
ton I have turned mystudies of the moral
character of women engaged In industry,
the result has been the same, whether in
this country, Great Britain or upon the
Continent of Europe.
Here is am opportunity for those not
familiar with the life Of the girl who
earns her bread in the mill and factory,
TO congratulate themselves on being
very much mistaken.

suit was the reduction Of the total ap-
