 OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 26.-After the ap- pointment of the usual committees recess was taken until 8 o'clock. The Bryan sil- yer faction had charge of the machinery of the convention. When it reconvened at 8 o'clock the credential committee re- ported all the contests in favor of Bryan forces, leaving the administration aud anti-silver element as small minority ln the convention, scarcely 100 delegates.
 W. D. Oldham of Kearney was made per- manent chairman and announced the con- vention as ready for nominations. Dr. Edwards of Lancai CT amid great demon- strations placed Congressman Bryan in nomination for United States senator. He was chosen by exclamation and replied in $ speech pledging himself to work for free silver and against monopolies,

 The main fighting of the battle was doue in the center of ring, the river sand of which was ploughed up more by the foot work O. the two men in the actual fighting time, which was minutes and 40 seconds, than it was ever before, even in the all- night battles.
 Creedon was carried to his corner, gasp ing hard for breath and showing traces of blood trickling from his nose. He was comparatively unhurt during tho first round and went to his corner smiling hap- pity and chatting with his attendants. The inference, then, is that he was beaten in one minute and forty seconds, the time of the second round. His seconds and his packers were startled beyond measure, and even those who desired to see FilZsm mons defeated, and there were many, were over awed and full of wonderment at he tall lfmarueman's 's marvellous fistic skill.
 After the fight was over there were groups and knots of spectators seemin 2 ly spellbound in different parts of the nam : moth erena trying to explain to each other or have it explained to them: but it was a fact, for it happened before their eyes in the great Olympic clubs arena on Septem- Der 26 1894

Soup l.lates | hat Play Marches.

An American lady living in London hm lately received most original wedding present, consisting of a musical dinner service. Each plate commences toplay tune when placed on the table, so that the great difficulty is to place every plate ex- actly at the same moment on the board, or else the dscords are something inde scribable. The soup plates play marches, as at the beginning of dinner the guests are supposed to be serious, the other plates for different melodies, each succeeding course becoming merrier until the dessert plates arrive, which only play the maddest of dance music, the guests being supposed now to have lost their solemnity and to be of cheerful countenance.

LIGHTNING .ARREsTERs.
The Part They Play in an Electric Rail-
way System.

One of the most important features of
the electric railway system is the control
of an overflow of electricity caused by
electrical or thunder storms. At inter
walls Of about half mile along the line
of the electric roads in and about the
city may be seen the boxes attached to
the poles with connecting wires to the
trolley wire and to the ground. These
are known as the lightning arresters.
The current of electricity conferred on
the troIlv runs to the first arrester and
thence to the ground. Several of the
arresters are always in place near the
power houses to prevent destruction of
porperty or hindrances from operating
the cars during storm. The liability
of niary of properly and hindrance to
travel, is much greater outside the city
limits, as the great number OF wires in
the city distribute the overflow during
q storm.
On the Mt. Auburn line in the course
of fifteen months seven armatures were
burned out, entailing a loss of 81, 700.
In addition to that fact, during heavy
electrical storms the section of the road
from the Zoo north was rendered inoptr-
alive often for several hours, causing
heavy loss to the company, and serious
inconvenience TO Ine travelling puDl1c.
superintendent Bradford of the road,
bought quite number of lightning ar
rosters aud placed them in position.
Some of them served to answer the pur
pose, but it was soon noticed that in
storms of any duration in which there
was succession of flashes of ligh thing,
the arresters were imperative after two
or three flashes, as they were constructed
with metallic plates. The intense heat
of several strokes running to the same
arrester would fuse The points of the
plate aud keep the circuit closed aud
run the next stroke into the machinery.
Mr.. Bradford conceived the plan of con-
structing an arrester with carbon plates
in place of metallic. He has pushed the
matter to completion, and placed the
arresters on the road, with the happy re-
suit of not having an armature burned
or stoppage in the travel since his APP
pliance has been given a trial.-in Gin
