A Mystery in sound.

In the delta of the Ganges, a mysteri-
Gus sound is sometimes heard, to which
the name of "Barisal Guns is given,
because of the resemblance to the dull
report of distant artillery Similar noises
are we'll known to the lighthouse keep
logne, who call them the mist pouffers, .
or fog dissipators, and generally hear
them on the evening of a hot day in
summer Although the sounds are COM
pared to the detonations of guns, they
are not very like these, and they occur
at irregular intervals. Their origin is
enveloped in mystery, but some physi-
lions, such as might be produced by
flashes of ordinary lightning or the ex-
plosion of globe lightning, while others
refer them to the shocks of fluid matter
in the bowels of the earth or the rum
bling of slight earthquakes.

The BalIotlng.
On the first ballot, Bland got 939;
Bryan, 1906; Boies, s6; Matthews, So;
Mclean, 81; Pattison, 05; Blackburn,
$751; Pennoyer, 10; Tillman, II; Steven
son, q Teller, 8; Campbell, 2; RUSSELL
q Hill, l. There were 1856 gold men
who refused to vote. They declined
to participate in the nomination on
the platform adopted. The latter
realized that the gold men would
probably place another ticket in the
field, or, If they did not actively op.
pose the nominees of this conve ntion
in the campaign which was to follow,
that they would passively, at least,
give aid and comfort TO the poiltlcal
enemy. Pennsylvania alone OF the
gold states continued TO participate IN
the proceedings, She cast her sixty
four votes for Governor Pattison TO
the end. Most Of the other gold men
who voted cast their ballots also for
Pattison, but there were scattering
votes for Stevenson, Hill, Russell and
Campbell.
On the second ballot Alabama
sought to check the rout that had
already begun by changing her vote
from Boies to Bland, but Bryan was
overtaking him with giant strides.
Bland gained rs, while Bryan ad-
vanced 02. Boies was the principal
loser. His vote dwindled to 81

Kissed by the galleries, and Oregon
gave up Pennoyer In the Ohio dele
cation, the Bryan forces lacked but
seven votes of a majority, and there
was open rebellion in Illinois and
other states which wanted to swing
into line.
On the fourth ballot, Alabama, the
first state TO vote, headed the STAN
pede to Bryan. Idaho, California and
other states followed. The revolt in
the other delegations spread, even
among those bound by resolutions of
instruction. Kansas, Illinois, Ohio
and even Iowa were tottering.
stampede on Fifth Ballot.
On the fifth and last ballot, Kansas
went over. Illinois and other States
came tumbling along In her wake.
When Ohio was reached, Bryan had
446 votes of the 6O4 required to make
two-thirds majority of those voting.
Chairman White had ruled that two
thirds of those voting constituted the
two-thirds majority under the rule.
Ohio hesitated The Bryan men in
bllC u pun NOoTs
The friends of Mclean saw that the
end was in sight, and Mclean himself
mounted chair. He withdrew his
name as candidate and cast the for
ty.siX votes of Ohio for Bryan. This
gave him 402, twelve less than enough
to nominate. Montana changed her
six votes to Bryan, and Oklahoma
followed with her six. To the terri
tory of Oklahoma, therefore, belongs
the honor of nominating the Demo-
cratic candidate for president in 1896,
as to that of Arizona belonged the
honor four years ago.
OF course, the other states then
scrambled over each other. Governor
Stone of Missouri withdrew BANDS
name, and Senator Turpie of Indiana
withdrew that OF the Hoosier gov
ernor, and on his motion the nomina-
ton was made unanimous

Fithian made a fiery protest against
the nomination of the Ohio editor.
1t was at this critical juncture that
McLean's telegram was received py
one of the Ohio delegates. The tele-
gram stated it was Mr.. McLean's wish
that he should not be balloted for.
Delegate Sloan, however, after read
Ing the telegram, distinctly stated
that, while the telegram expressed
Mr.. McLean's wish, It did not express
the sentiment Of Ohio, which on the
fifth ballot, concluded to cast forty
six votes for Mclean. The tele-
gram, however, shattered the Nc
Lean forces, and Indiana, Iowa
and other states focked into the
camp of the Maine man. Sewall's
nomination was unanimous before the
conclusion of the roll call, amid scenes
of jubllatlon and rejoicing, in the
course OF which the State standards
were paraded about the Coliseum in
the wake of the colors of Nebraska
and Maine.

THE VICE PRESIDENT.



CHICAGO, July 13-The Democratic
National convention completed its
work Saturday afternoon. Arthur
Sewall Of Maine, Bath ship-builder,
and an ardent free coinage man, was
named for vice president on ticket
headed by William j. Bryan, the elo-
quent young orator from the prairies
beyond the Missouri.
Over $50 gold delegate declined to
participate in the nomination for vice
president Many of the delegates had
left the city Whether the seceders
will place third ticket in the field,
as the minority did at Baltimore in
1890, is matter for future develop
ment.
The nomination OF Sewall for vice
president was more Of surprise than
that of Bryan for president. Bryan
had set the convention aaame with
his eloquence and his name was on
every lip when the balloting began,
but Sewall's name in connection with
the vice presidency had hardly been
mentioned.

the Hoosier State; Mclean, Sibley of
Pennsylvania, Bland and others were
canvassed, and Senator Jones and
some of his associates OF the silver
leaders came to the conclusion that for
geographical and other reasons the
Maine man was the most availab BILE
man for the place on the ticket with
Mr.. Bryan.
The strongest argument in his favor
perhaps was that his nomination
would at once silence the cry that the
silver cause was sectional--an impu-
tation the Arkansas Senator was quick
to rebuke when Senator Ben Tillman
| avowed that such was the case in the
convention on Thursday. Mr.. Nc
Lean decided not to be candidate,
and gave directions to his friends in
the Ohio delegation not to present his
name, but the Mclean sentiment was
so strong that it could not be sup
pressed. just as the convention had
narrowed down to race between
| Sewall and Mclean the latter through
personal telegram, which was read
from the stage, withdrew his name,
and there was stampede for Sewall.
The latter was nominated, as Bryan
was, on the fifth ballot w. G. Burke
of California nominated Sewall.
On the first ballot fifteen candidates
were voted for, Sibley of Pennsyl-
vania receiving 1903, the highest num-
Der of votes, The other votes were
divided as follows: Mclean, no; Sc
wall, 100; Harrity, 81; Judge Waiter
Clark of North Carolina, 50; Senator
Daniel of Virginia, IL; Bland G2;
Black burn, 20; ex-Congressman Will
Jams of Illinois, 20; George Fred Will
Jams of Massachusetts, 16: Boies, 90;
Pattlson, 2; Senator White of Cali

ator Teller of Colorado, each.
Attempt to Stampede to Bland.
On the second ballot there was an
attempt to stampede the convention
to Bland, who on this ballot received
29l votes, Mclean moved up to 1888,
Sibley fell back to 1l3, and Sewall
dropped to 81. 1t looked as if
the latter was disastrously beaten,
but Senator Jones with his 16

After the announcement of this vote
Bland was withdrawn by Governor
Stone of Missouri, who read message
from the Missourian positively declin-
ing to allow his name for the Vice
Presidential nomination.
The Bland votes on the fourth bal
lot went to Sewall in large blocks,
but Mclean captured e ough to give
him seemingly safe lead of 29i
against 26l for Sewall. During this
roll call there had been trouble In the

and showed fourteen anti-McLean

All the members Of City Council were
present at the meeting last night The Law
Committee presented favorable reports on
the ordinances regarding theatrical per-
formances and also the one making an
extraordinary appropriation Of S14O0 to the
Board of Health.
MIR. McNuity moved the third reading OF
the ordinance making an appropriation OF
Sl4OO to the Board of Health. The money
will be used to pay the plumbers bill, over
which the Board OF Health and the Board
of Education were SO long at loggerheads
The ordinance was unanimously adopted
and referred to Mayor Jefferis for his ap-
prevail
There were more speeches when Mr.. Nc
Nulty called for the third reading OF the
theatrical ordinance.
Mr.. Meaney said he had been approached
by several citizens who desired to say
something about the proposed amendment
He suggested that it be put over one week.
He said he was in favor Of the amendment,
but thought the people ought to have an
opportunity to have hearing.
Mr.. Stats moved that action be post
poned one week.
Mr.. Smith objected, saying Council al
ready had received too much notoriety
and it would be best for the members to
act at once. The other ordinance had
been up for long time and the people
had chance to express their views.
Messrs. Oberly, Leary, Fisher and Rob
ertson thought there would be no harm in
postponing action for week, and when the
motion was put it was decided to postpone
action until next Thursday,
W. A. Hukill presented a communication
asking Council to refund him $3.50 he had
paid for a license as auctioneer, claiming
that the other auctioneers had not paid
that amount.
Mr.. ONeil said he had spoken to the
city solicitor, who said the other auc-
toneers had not, as they were awaiting a
decision from Judge Ball. Several mem
bers of Council thought Mr.. Hukill had
been treated uniustly and his letter was
referred to the Law and Finance commit
tees.
Mr. Oberly reported that there had been
general breakdown at the garbage Gre
matory and the engine was a practical
wreck.
Mr. O'Neill and Mr. Watson thought a
new engine was needed. On motion OF Mr..
Oherly the Crematory Committee was
given power to have the old engine re-
paired or buy new one.
The Law Committee presented the deed
for the lot and blacksmith shop at Six
teenth and Market streets, to be used for
all entrance to the park, from the Farmers
Bank to the Mayor and Council The price
paid was $l236.37. The deed was accepted
and referred to the city solicitor.
An order was given to the Police Com
| mission for $3.50 to be applied to the con-
! tingent fund.
