Stein for Disobeying tho NIandate-An
Appeal Taken.
CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-Judge Stein, of the
superior court, decided that the Worlds
fair directors and officers who had been
directly responsible for closing the ex-
position gates Sunday, July %, had vio-
lated the injunction granted in the Cling
man petition, and were consequently guilty
of contempt. He ordered that Directors
Gage, Hutchinson, Henrotin, McNally
and Kerfoot should be fined 81 900 each
and stand committed to Jail until the fine
was paid.
In the case of Director Victor +. Law
son the court held that the officer had
voted in belief that the injunction had
lapsed, and was not Intentionally guilty.
In view of this mitigating circumstance a
line of SlOO was imposed. Director Gen
eral Davis was held less directly respons-
ible. and was fined $3.50
Messrs. Massey, Forbes, ST. Clair and
Higinbotham were regarded by Judge
Stein as instruments for the execution OF
the directors ruling and were discharged.
Director Nathan was also discharged.

There is little doubt that the council of

The President and Party to
Leave Gray Gables To-day.

BUzzARD's BAY, Mass, Aug. 3.-This
is the Presidents last night at Gray
Gables for the present at least. Mr..
Cleveland remained at homo all day
with his guest, Secretary Carlisle. 1t
is presumed the President read his
message over to the Secretary, and the
latter proffered whatever suggestions
appeared necessary. The President, it
is understood, sent for Secretary Car.
Isle to como to Gray Gables before the
message was read to his Cabinet. At
torney General Olney stopped off this
afternoon for an hours chat with the
President and WAS afterwards driven in
the Clevelend team to the station,
where he took the train for Falmouth.
He will return to Washington with the
President.
The local correspondents here went
to Gray Gables for their last routine
call. They were not received with open
arms and the President would not see
them. Mr. Carlisle was asked for and
he sent out his regrets.
The President and party leaves here
to morrow afternoon by way Of the Fall

Lamont will arrive here at IL o'clock
tomorrow from Sorrento and Join the

E. R. COOKE, OF CUMBERLAND,
Nominated for Governor by the
Virginia PopuIists.
j. Brad Bovorly, of Fauquier, for Lieuten-
ant Governor, and william, S. Graveiy,
OF Henry, for Attorney GeneraI-The
Platform Demands Free Silver Coinage
and Denounces the Present Election
LAWS Of tho State.

LTNCHDURG, Va, Aug. 3.-The Popu.
lists OF Virginia met here in State con-
vention to day. Nearly five hundred
delegates, chiefly from the rural dis
tricts, were in attendance, and, aueerly
enough, there was not a negro among
them all. Among the visiting states
men were Jerry Simpson, from Kansas,
and Congressman Pence, from Colorado
Simpson spoke to mass meeting last
niget and Pence to day addressed the
convention. In the course of his speech
he bitterly assailed Mr.. Cleveland and
Secretary Carlisle quoting from "a
speech of the latter delivered some
years ago in strong denunciation of the
financial policy, to which he seems to
be now committed. Pence's speech
created much enthusiasm.
The convention was permanently Or
ganiz by the election OF Col. Robert
Beverly, OF Fauquier, as chairman, with
the usual compliment of officer. c. Fl,
Pierson, of Caroline county, who edits
the Virginia Sun at Richmond, was
made chairman of the committee on
resolutions. The following nominations
were made unanimously:
For governor, E. r. Cooke, Of Cum ber-
land.
For acknowledgements, j. Brad
Beverly, Of Fauquier.
For Acknowledgement, William s.
Gravely, OF Henry.
A fund was raised for the purpose of
defraying the expenses of vigorous
campaign. The platform adopted is
reported to have been written by Editor
Pierson. 1t was brought up from Rich
mond in printed slips.
1t declares: First, for free silver coin
age at the ratio OF IL to 1. Second, a
national currency issued by the general
Government and distributed directly to
the people on the security of their
property. Third, the impo sition of a
rigid income tax. and, fourth, a reform
OF the tariff and internal revenue laws
1t also denounces the present election
laws of the State as partisan and do
mands their repeal and the substitute ton
of non partisan law.
The preamble to the platform severely
arraigns President Cleveland, who was
elected for the express purpose of re-
lieving the people from the robberes of
the Mckinley tariff but who calls Con-
gross not TO repeal the robbing tariff
law, but to consummate the fraud of
1898, which demonetized silver"
The convention was in session from
10 o'clock a. m. till p. NJ. Everything
was harmonious, but some OF the dele
gates express the belief that the con-
vention did not put forward it's strongest
man for governor. They seem to fear
that Cooke will not make an aggressive
candidate.

LONDON, Aug. 3.-Accordlng to the
Lancet, the well.known English medical
weekly, cholera has been epidemic
in Marseilles for the last three menths.
The officials, it is asserted, have carried
their policy Of deception to such length
that even the government has been led
astray in regard to the real state of
affairs. The Prefecture now admits
that there have been Col deaths from
cholera in Marseilles since the middle
OF May. On several days twenty deaths
were recorded. and on last Saturday
the mortality went up to twenty five
During the last four weeks there have
been SEQ deaths throughout France
LONDON, Aug. 3.-The Rome CORE.
spondent Of the Central News SAYS:
Since the outbreak of cholera in Naples
more than 100000 residents have fed
from that city. The official reports
greatly understate the facts. The re-
port for Sunday last says that there
were nineteen new cases and nine deaths.
Reliable private advises declare there
were hfty-two new cases and twenty

CUTTING DOWN EXPENSES.
The Worlds Fair Management Reducing
the Number of Employes


CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-The pruning down
of expenses continues to be the active
occupation Of the Worlds Fair manage.
ment. Day by day the number OF
employees are becoming smaller, and it
is believed that by the last Of the week
the great White City will be working
on bed rock basis financially. 1t has
been decided to reduce the secret ser.
vice force, the number of gatemen and
ticket sellers, the Columbi guards
and to materially lessen the number Of
passes and it is believed that before
the close OF the week the committee on
ceremonies will have been abolished.
There is talk that the foreign affairs
department may also be done away with
and that the duties now performed by
the department. will be placed in the
control of the director general. In this
way the management save half mil
lion to three-quarters Of million
dollars during the next three months.
II is said on the authority of Lyman j.
Gage, member of tho finance COM
mittee, that the payment of bonds will
begin very soon, probably within ten
days and that of itself shows that the
finances are drawn to an economic al
basis.
The expenses, he said, are about
$4,000 per day, which Is as close as
could be expected in plant OF such
magnitude. or course the attendance
will detarmine the outcome of the fair
financially, but with conservative
management the bonds ought to be put
out with a possible surplus besides.

He Claims O'Ferrail's Nomination Oh the

RICHMOND, Aug. The following

HEADQUARTERS STATE

the Dispatch of this morning:
HEADQUARTERS STATE
O'FERRALL ORGANIZATION
NORFOLK, VA, August l, 1898
To THE EDITOR OF THE DIspATcH
The O'Ferrall tide is now we'll nigh a
tidal wave. He lacks but LOG u votes of
the number required to insure his nomi-
nation, and has about 600 delegates
from which to secure them. In other
words. it is only necessary to obtain
less than 20 per cent. of the delegates
yet to be elected to make certain the
nomination of Colonel O'Ferrall. Inas-
much as ne has thus far obtained about
rs per cent. OF the delegates elected, it
is easy to foresee the result of the con.
test. My estimate Of 1900 votes on the
first ballot, made three weeks ago, I
still maintain.
Mr.. Preston, on behalf Of Ma ior Tyler,
has, 1T seems, desisted in the publica-
ton OF tabulated statements showing
the strength of his candidate, and con-
tents himself with general denial of
the accuracy of those published by me.
This course may tickle his fancy and
some what stiffen his failing spirits, but
1t does not change the facts nor ksatisfy
the public. AS a substantial manifesto
ION of the accuracy of my figures send
you certified check for $1,000, which
ut Mr.. Preston cover by similar
amount. II Colonel O'Ferrall fails to
receive the nomination on the first
ballot, will forfeit that amount IS ,O0O)
to the Soldiers Home, in Richmond. If
he does recei, o the nomination on the
first ballot, Mr.. Preston to forfeit his
check TO the same institution. This
proposition to remain open three days.
| adopt this course as being the best
calculated to establish my sincerity in
giving out estimates for the public in
formation.

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 3.-Information
reached Atlanta last night that the

pany has again been placed in the hands
OF Samuel Spencer, Reu Der Fossen and

July 90, Butler, Stillman & Hubbard
and A. II. Joline, of New York, as at.
torneys for the Central Trust
Company went before Judge New.
man in Virginia and foreclosed a
mortgage for S4,257,35O against the
Richmond and Danville and asked that
receivers be appointed. They showed
that the interest on this mortgage from
October l, 1892, had not been paid,
although it had been demanded.
Upon hearing the petition read Judge
Newman granted an order placing the
road in the hands of Receivers Spence
Foster and Huidlkoper, who alc not
operating it for the court under the

From present indications the road
will have co be sold to wipe out claims
