southern part of the little town seemed to
be a roaring mass of flames. Almost I'M

q"uently worked under a great disadNan-

hall Of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation in LaSalle street, was an overflow,
but enough people attended it to com
fortably fill all the seats. AS for the State
street meeting. it was one of the most re-
markable demonstrations ever seen in
this city. In the first place-and that
is the most important point-it was Amer
lean to the core. There are not many
Cubans in Chicago. Probably all the
exiles of the suffering islands who have
found their way to the cigar shops of the
town would not fill the parquet circle of
Central Music Hall. Most of them were
there, leaning forward in their seats to
take in every glowing sentence and cheer
ing wildly the rcd-hot ~denunciations of
their old masters that poured from the
stage. Quesada. the secretary of the
revolutionary party. was on the floor,
and so was Zayas. the propaganda of the
cause. who is here trying to secure contri-
buttons of arms, ammunition and medi-
cine for the Insurgents. The big cheer
of the evening went up for an excited
Cuban who arose in the gallery while Mr..
llynes was speaking and yelled: II go
over and lick Spain myself alone"
Chicago's Official Stamp.
The other big feature of the meeting
was that it was presided over by the
Mayor of Chicago, and that the City
Council gave it official recognition by at
tending in n body. If this had happened
over in Europe it might have been casus
belli.
What brought to Central Music Hall
this tremendous crowd that filed the au-
ditorium from the back of the platform to
the eyries of the topmost gallery! In the
crowd there We're not fifty men who had

There were not twenty to whom it makes

OHIO's PoPULIsTs.
Gen. COxey May BE Their Candidate
for Governor.

Columbus, July 1.-The state populist
convention fell into a dispute at the very
beginning this morning. Chairman Huger
Pryor Of Cleveland attempted to continue
the old central committee Of last year for
another year. This was hercely opposed
and brought out the statement from Mr..
Pryor that a scheme was on to get con-
troll of the party and sell 1t out. After a
long discussion the matter was laid aside
for decision later on in the convention.
The convention then selected the usual
committees and took a recess 20 2:30 p. m.
After the recess the delegates appeared
in better humor and the old committee
was retained, with a few necessary
changes.
The committee on resolutions is in ses-
sion tonight, preparing the platform. AS
agreed upon now, the platform viii de-
clare for the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to /; demand the abolition OF
the national banks; indorse the eight-hour
labor system and, in general agree with
the Omaha platform.
There is a contest between George A.
GrOot of Cleveland and Gen. COxey as to
whether Gen. COXeys favorite idea of
making good roads and issuing of nom
interest bearing bonds for money shall
go into the platform.
1t seems altogether likely that Gen.
Coxey will be the candidate for governor.
Tonight he addressed a large assemblage
in the state capitol grounds and was well
received. In the course Of his address he
drew from his pocket a Springfield rife
ball, and holding IL up, said it was a Nc
Kinley protection pill. lie was berating
the governor for calling out the state mill
tia to suppress strikers and belligerent
"hobos"
At midnight the committee on resolu-
tions agreed upon n platform. 1t in
dorses Gen. Coxey's scheme for good
roads and non-interest bearing bonds
plan, favors the abolishment Of the ma
tional banks; asks a law making all con-
tracts providing for payment in gold IL
legal; favors per diem pensions: demands
the unlimited coinage of silver at the
legal ratio, regardless of the policy Of
any other nation, and the issuance NJ
once of sufficient greenbacks to make the
volume Of currency equal to $50 per cap
ita.
In state affairs II demands that the sal
aries of public officers and employees be
reduced to the rates paid in private EN-
ployment and supports the miners In their
demands for coal screen legislation

A SUIT OVER MISSING BONDS.
SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A TRUST
COMPANY's PRESIDENT.

He Is Accused of Diverting 100000
of "A Street Railway COmpany's
Bonds 10 His own Use-An Attempt
TO Force the Trust Company 10
Make the Alleged Loss GOOd-Thc
Securities Issued by "A Knoxville
Company.
Philadelphia, Aug. 1.-George w. Hen
derson, receiver of the Knoxville (Tenn.)
Electric Railway Company. has filed a
bill in equity in the United States cir
cult court against the Union Trust Com
pany Of Philadelphia, the trustee Of one
of the mortgages of the company, to e.
cover 100000. the proceeds of bonds said
to have been paid to William G. McAdoo.
Jr., the president Of the company, ami
said to have been diverted by the latter
to his own use. 1t is related in the bill
that in August, 1889, the railway company
issued a mortgage to the Union Trust
Company to secure the issuance Of $50
$1,000 bonds.
Upon the consolidation of the Knoxville
Street Railway Company and the Knox
will Electric Railroad Company another
mortgage was executed to the American
Loan and Trust Company of Massach1-
setts for 700 $1,000 bonds. Subsequently
default was made in the payment on m
terest and J. c. Duncan was appointed
receiver Of the property covered by the
mortgages. 1t is stated that after pay
ment of the preferred liens and expenses
there will not be more than about $4,000
applicable to the payment of the mort
cages. Under proceedings brought in
the Eastern district Of Tennessee by Bcn-
jamin A. Peace, Jr., a stockholder, the
plaintiff was appointed receiver of the
assets not in the actual or constructive
possession of Receiver Duncan, and not
embraced in the mortgage given to the
town trustees.
At the time of the consolidation IL is
charged that McAdoo improperly obtained
control of the stock and bonds and that
200 bonds issued under the mortgage to
the Union Trust Company We're received
by him, of which he applied the proceeds
10 his own use. The trust company, IL is
asked, shall be required to make good
100000, the value of the bonds Another
bill in equity was filed against the Union
Trust Company of a similar character by
John w. Weeks of Massac achusetts, who
states that he IS the holder of two bonds
of the Knoxville Street Railroad Company.

WYoMlNG'S RUSH OF WATER.
ONE WAVE 80 FEET HIGH AND 30
RODS WIDE.

The Torrent sweeps Along Caper
Greek for seven Miles Carrying
Everything Before It-Many Camp
er- Either Asleep or just Aboat to
Retire when the Flood Came Upon
Them-Wffe and Baby snatched
Awny From One Man.
Casper, Wyo.. Aug. IA terrible cloud
burst occurred south Of this city on Cas-
per Mountain at the head Of Garden
creek last night. The creek is about
seven miles long from mouth to source,
and is lined with campers. Near the
head Of the creek is a summer resort fire.
quented by local picnic parties. and it is
credited with being one Of the most beau
tiful spots in Central Wyoming. The
first thing the food reached was the pleas
ure resort at the head OF Garden creek.
At this point all the buildings We're crush-
ed and swept away. and the original site
Of the hotel at this point is buried be-
meath debris twenty or more feet deep.
From here the water followed the course
Of the creek and demolished everything
in its path. Judging from the watea-
marks a volume Of water forty feet high
and thirty rods wide must have passed
through a narrow denle about two miles
from the mountain proper.
Without warning this great food oi
water, in its rush down the side of the
mountain. found many campers up and
down the creek. either sleeping or just
about ready TO retire for the night.
$. Newby and his family had retired
for the night. when all at once they were
surrounded with water and a race for life
commenced. Newly says that he heard
his wife scream for help, he grabbed for
her, but missed her, and the next second
he was being carried on by a great rush
Of water. That was the last he saw OF
his wife and boy. Newly grabbed a float
ing tree. and after floating about forty
rods was thrown on a bank. Mrs. Newby
was found this morning beneath a pile
OF debris twenty feet high. The boy has
not been found.
Near the Newly camp was camped
Samuel Harrison, lately Of Alliance, Neb.
Harrison's two children were caught in
the food and carried away by the mad
waters. The bodies Of the children were
recovered this morning.
Some idea Of the force Of the torrent can
be formed from the fact that IN the first
two miles Of ite course FIVE lodges of rock
are to be found. These lodges are twenty
fvo feet high. In the first one are bould-
ers torn from the mountain side that
Will weigh fifty tons. Trees two feet in
diameter were torn up and carried down
the stream. The tents and Wagons OF
all the campers up and down the creek
were destroyed and at least fifty persons
escaped with nothing but their sleeping
garments. Food and clothing is being
sent to the unfortunates by the citizens Of
Casper to-day.

North Carolina Case.

Morehead City, n. c., Aug. 1.-The trial
Of the sensational cases of conspiracy to
defraud insurance companies was con-
tinued to-day. The evidence brought out
was in line with that of the day before
but was much more explicit and con-
elusive. Conspiracy was proved concIus-
lively in one case after another. The fol-
lowing shows, first, the actual ages: sec
ond, the age named in the policy; and
third, the real physical condition of the
parties named below, who were all in
sured for good amounts:
Hattie A Davis first age, 70; second age
given as S5; condition, infirm.
Sarah Gabriel, very old, age given as
S5 infirm.
Shepard Davis, &c years old, age given
as 40, inhrm.

as SO, infirm
Melissa Gully, age. 20 years; age given
as So, inhrm.
William ]. Rice, said to be a good risk,
lunatic.
Mary A. Longhurst, age, 65 years; given
as p, poor health,
William H. Jones. good risk; has con-
sumption.
Sarah A. Lewis. over 60 years old. real

Rosana Washington, 60 years old, given
as 35 and laid up with rheumatism
Samuel Windsor, So years old, given as
5S inhrm.
Thomas Davis, consumptive.
Florence Chadwick is in very bad
health.
The prosecution attempted to prove that
money received on the benefit paid at the
death of Wigfall was divided between four
relatives of the dead man and that these
four relatives insured a man in the last
stages of consumption eleven days before
death, swearing that he was a good risk
and that the insurance agent in Beaufort
certified that Wigfall was a good risk"
Most of the day was taken up by
wrangles between counsel at TO the ad-
mission of testimony A large number of
letters, af1davits, applications for insur-
ance policies, etc, were admitted to-day
and several of the witnesses were exam
ined orally. The court room was filed
with interested listeners.
