GORMAN'S FRIENDS WIN.
Maryland Democrats Indorse tho
Senior Senator's Choice.
JOHN E. HURST FOR GOVERNOR.

State Senator Crothers Cots tho Nomina-
tion for Attorney General and Marion
de Kalb Smith for ComptrolIer-Clevs-
lands Administration Indorsed.
BALTIMORE, Aug. 1.-When the news
was definitely flashed throughout head
quarters that Senator GormaS had slated
the rich dry goods merchT1t, John e.
Hurst, OF this city, for gubernatorial
honors, and State Senator Crothers for
the ettorney generalship in place Of Gen
eral Kyd Douglas, who had been conceded
the nomination, howl of surprise and
disappointment went up from many
quarters, especially from the country dele
gates, where the desire for reassessment
is strong, and where the friends of this
measure had supported the candidacy of
Thomas C. Hayes, q leading exponent Of
reassessment.
Several Of Hayes supporters were SO
embitterod that they declared their inten-
tion of voting for Judge Fisher, the
avowed opponent of German. Senator
Hayes, who asserted that he had from tho
outset been assured of Germans support,
emphatioally declared he would remain in
the fight, and openly charged treachery.
The other candidates, however, excepting
Judge Fisher, philosophically bowed to
the inevitable, and Hurst and Crothers
were nominated. Marion de Kalb Smith,
of Kent county. received the nomination
for comptroller.
Hattersly Talbot, chairman Of the state
convention committee, in calling the con-
vention to order made lively address.
During 1t one enthusiast proposed cheer
for John Il. Hurst Tho cheers and the
Kisses, however, were almost equal in
volume. A cheer for Senator German met
with better success. Mr. Talbot pre-
dieted a big Democratic success this year.
He closed by introducing Mr.. Bernard
Carter as temporary chairman.
Mr.. Carter said he felt confident that
the party would this year, as it has in the
past, go forward with united front to a
great victory. He called attention to the
fact that this year in Maryland the Repub-
llcan party was active and aggressive. and
warned his hearers that harmony was
necessary in the Democratic ranks.
The committee on resolutions, after an
hours elaboration, returned with a unan.
imous report. Tho resolutions approved
Of the Democratic platform Of 1899 and Of
the able and patriotic administration of
President Cleveland. They declare against
free silver, and approve Of tho Wilson tar
III bill, which was characterized as the
best the country has known for thirty
five years. The administration of Gov
ernor Brown was highly eomplimented.
The reassessment was regarded by the
committee as being demanded by the peo-
ple.
The nominee, John Il. Hurst, although
a German adherent, has also been a con-
sistent follower Of the Cleveland admin.
istration, and will doubtless poll the bulk
Of the party's voters.

Saved Forty Lives,

SCRANTON, Pa, Aug. Fire broke out
ut the foot of the shaft of the Sturges
mine, of the New York and Scranton Coal
company, at Peckville, last night. The
bravery Of Edward Williams, pump
runner, probably saved the lives of all
those in tho mine. After trying to ex-
tinguish the flames he ran to where forty
miners of the first shift were at work in
the main gangway and warned them Of
the danger. He had been SO badly burned
already that after gasping the word
"Firel" he fel! unconscious The other
miners rushed Vi a body to the foot Of the
shaft, dragging Williams with them, and
all were safely carried to the top. Nearly
half of each gang were unconscious when
they reached the surface. Tho fire was
eventually subdued. Twenty mules were
suffocnted In the mine stables. Williams
Is still unconscious. &c.,. .--t. ..

Cappa, who is now In Chicago on the
Holmes case, belongs to the firm Of Cappa
& Canley, Of this city, who some time ago
entered suit against the present holders OF
property owned by the Williams sisters.
The suit is brought at the instance of the
heirs Of the girls, and it is claimed that
the deeds were forged by Holmes. Allen,
alias Hatch, the Arkansas convict, who Is
80 anxious to tell his connection with tho
murders, was at one time in the employ of
Holmes In this city. Allen went by the
nnmo of Mascot In this city, and IL is be-
aieved here that he can tell great deal
about Holmes and his transactions II he
wants to. Allen was an ex-convict from
the prison at Joliet.
While Holmes, ,orPratt, as he was known
here, was living in this city he started to
put up large building. 1t was objected
to ON tho ground that 1t was q fire trap
and the authorities forced him to remodel
1t somewhat. In view of the recent devel-
opments in Chicago the authorities havo
mado an Investigation of the building
which leaves no room for doubt that
Holmes had planned it for death trap
One room at tho top of the house has
twelve exits by which a person can escape,
while an enclosed chute runs down to the
basement, in which a body could BIO trans
forred without any one being the wiser.
In this basement q large archway had
been built over the sewer in such way
that he could easily put in u trap door
opening into the sewer. Under the floor
OF the house was found large pit, the in
tended use Of which can only be conjec-
aured, Holmes probably intended this
building to be used as he afterwards used
his house in Chicago.
