Report of the Committee.
(By Associated Press.)


ALBANY, Aug. 7.--When the Constitu-
tional Convention met this morning
Messrs. Nostrand and Kinkel, newly
seated delegates from the Second Dis
trict, took the oath OF office.
Mr.. Steele, of the Twentieth Senatorial
District, announced the death of his
colleague Walter l.. Van Den Berg, of
Amsterdam, and moved that commit

able resolutions, and the Chair APP
pointed Messrs. Steele, Francis and Hol-
lis tc draft sch resolutions.
The Convection went into Committee
of the Whole on the report OF the Com
mittee on Cities, on the proposed article
for home rule in cities. Mr.. johnson
presented several amendments of a
technical nature, which he said were
designed to relieve possible ambiguity.
The whole amendment as heretofore
published by the Associated Press. was
read by the clerk, II being decided to
consider it as whole instead OF by
sections.
Mr.. Johnson's technical amendments
were adopted. and then he launched

NEW YORK SALESMAN SHOT.
VI. j. Myers Badly Wounded AT
Charlotte, N. G.


CHARLOTTE, n. c., Aug. IN. j.
Myers was shot yesterday by Fred
oliver. For about week Mr.. yers's
mind has ben more or less out of order

lives of several prominent citizens here

fatally wounded. He Is travelling
salesman for Jaffray a. Co., of New
York. Mr. Oliver is a prominent cotton
seed oil manufacturer.
At the Office of E. s. Jaffray & Co,
Broadway and Leonard street, a tele-
gram was received this morning from
Il. L. Alexander, of Charlotte, confirm
ing the above despatch. A letter was re-
ceIved by the firm yesterday. dated Aug.
8, from w. p. Myers, brother of Nj. j.
Myers. stating that his brother was and
had ben very sick, and that he was at
tending to his business for him. The ma
ture OF Myers's illness was not men,
toned.
So far as Jaffray & Co. know, Myers
IL the son of formerly prominent
physician Of Charlotte, who has been
dead for several years. Myers IL about
thirty years old, man of good habits
and an excellent salesman. He has been
with the firm about four years. He Is
OF highly nervous temperament, puck

HARMONY OUT

Real Tammany Leader.
special to The Evening World

SARATOGA. Aug. THE harmony
politicians, who played a short engage
ment here, have gone home for n rest.
They all will be back tomorrow to play
the same tune over again. They have
been playing to n sympathetic audience
to whom the music sounded sweet and
was soothing, but the performance had
neither charm nor attraction for the
men for whose benefit 1t was gotten
up. They stayed away.
The cry of harmony was like the
sound of voice in the wilderness.
No one wonders. then. that Mayor Gill
roy says there has been altogether too
much talk. The leaders are not pleased
with Senator Murphy's defiant and
threatening pronunciamento. The Mayor
prefers a sandbag to club. 1t has the
same effect, but doesn't hurt as much.
The Mayor went back to New York to
study the situation over. All the other
big leaders have gone, too. Gov. Flow
er, while waiting their return, can pom
der over the evils Of Brockwayism.
