Some Lively Times in Several
Conventions in Different
Counties.
CARLISLE IS NOT INDoRsED.
Resolutions Approving the Work OF
the Administration Are Promptly
Turned Down.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 30.-Free sill
yer carried the State of Kentucky to-day
in the Democratic county primaries by a
good majority. The conventions were
called to select delegates to the Demo-
cratic district conventions, which meet at
Lexington June 3. Wherever free silver
was indorsed resolutions were adopted de-
claring United States Senator Joseph
Blackburn to be the choice for Democratic
nominee for reelection as United States
Senator.
Many counties refuse to indorse Carlisle
for the Presidency and turned down reso-
lutions approving the work OF the Demo
cratic National administration. In Louis
vile, the center of the sound-money dis
trict, most bitter contest was waged.
Eight district conventions were held in
the city. That of the Sixth and Seventh
wards was almost a riot.
In these two wards live the rich business
men, manufacturers and bankers. The
free-silver men were under the leadership
of Captain Jim Williams, who distin-
guished himself as one of Jack Chinn's
assistants at Frankfort last winter.
Williams attempted to start the conven-
tion going before the arrival of District
Chairman Little Buchanan and was
thrown from the stage by Harry McDon-
aid, a burly architect. Mr.. Buchanan
had to take the chair by force. A gang of
rowdies from the river made their pres
ence felt, but were awed by the large num-
Der of well-dressed men on the other side.
The silver men then went out and held q
convention of their own. The regular
conventions of Louisville and Jefferson
County declared for the gold standard.
The silver men held separate conventions
in five city districts and will make a con-
test at Lexington.
Wherever sound money won over the
State the free silver leaders held separate
conventions, their policy being to secure
grounds for q contest before the State con-
vention.
The county of Jefferson, outside of Louis
vile, was captured for sound money by
the arrival of special train from this city
bearing all citizens of that section who do
business in this city. Out of sixty-nine
counties heard from forty-nine counties
with vote of 363 declare for the 16 to l
idea, and thirteen counties, with vote of
1876, put themselves on record for ''sound
money" Six counties with a total of
seventy votes have contested delegations,
and one county, Campbell, with twenty
one votes, is instructed. There are 9l0
votes in the convention.
Ten out of the eleven congressional dis
etricts have gone for free silver. The Fifth
District louisville and Jefferson County,
is the only district sending sound.money
delegation, and many of these are likely to
be thrown o1t, owing TO the free-silver
contests.

SARATOGA, N Y, May 3O.-The Gen.
erai Assembly of the Presbyterian church,

priation OF public moneys for sectarian
purposes.
The subject of bigamous marriages and
the foreign missionary churches was
raised to-day on resolution offered in
answer to an overture from the Utah Pres
bytery forbidding the recognition of dual
marriages in India and China.

Among the dead whose bodies have not

All the stores are flooded and the iron
bridge across Lost Creek was carried away
by flood and wind.
The storm also visited Neosho, where V.
S. Wood was killed, the only victim.
Every stream IN the surrounding country
is out of its banks and several bridges on
the st. Louis and San Francisco road were
swept away in the torrents. All the
streams in Southwestern Missouri had
been filed to their capacity, and this sud
den surplus will ruin thousands of acres of
grain. Many farmhouses are reported

BRIGHTON, Co1o., May sO.-A severe
windstorm followed by hail and rain and
amounting almost to a hurricane, de-
scended upon the country north of this
city, shortly after O'Clock this afternoon.
Three inches of hail descended in almost
as many minutes. Crops in the vicinity
were almost entirely destroyed. Several
section men were injured north of town.
Chimneys were blown off farmhouses and
panes of glass were broken. Cattle on the
plains about this city suffered awfully.
The hail which fell was as large as hen s
eggs and the noise during the storm deaf
ening.
CHEYENNE, WYo., May S0-A sudden
storm came up this afternoon and a per-
feet deluge of water fell. This was followed
by hail and thunder and lightning. The
railroad between this town and Orange

MOSCOW, RUSSIA, May 3O.-The dis
aster has greatly moved the entire city
and many groups gather in the streets and
IN the doorways OF the houses discussing
the sad affair and listening to the stories
related by eye witnesses.
Some persons declare that the blame for
the accident belongs to the police. who
failed to arrive on the ground sufficiently
early to obtain control of the assem- bled
crowds.
Comparatively few police officers were
on the Hodynsky plain at O'Clock this
morning, at about which time the disaster
occurred. There were then zoe, 600 persons
present.
About 1000 attendants prepared to dis
pense the gifts to the populace, but find
ing themselves unable to distribute the
refreshments and souvenirs fast enough
by handing them to the applicants they
threw the memorial cups and packets of
food into the crowds, and this brought on
the scramble that resulted so fatally.
A holloT in the ground at the point
where the greatest crash occurred formed
veritable death-trap for hundreds of
those VINO had started out in the early
morning anticipating a days enjoyment,
Among the bodies few have been found
without clothing, indicating they were of
the poorest class. In one heap of the dead
were found the bodies of two young ladies
attired in fine clothes and wearing dia-
monds and turquoise rings.
Several remarkable escapes are recorded.
In one instance father and mother were
killed, while their four-year-old son, whom
they had taken with them to the plain,
was rescued none the worse physically for
his experience.
1t was announced this evening that the
Gar will defray the expenses of the
funerals of all the victims of the accident.

Later in the day 700 heads of villages
were given banquet at the Petroffsky
palace. The air was beautiful throughout
the day. The great Hodynsky plain, on
which Napoleon massed his troops before
marching into the city of Moscow is
tianked on the sides by the exhibition
buildings and the Moscow race course, and
extends indefinitely into the country.
Upon it besides the multitude who en-
joyed the hospitality of the Czar IL eating,
drinking and indulging in all sorts of
games and witnessing various perform
ances, was encamped vast army of SOL
diers, consisting OF eightythree battaiions
of infantry, thirty squadrons of cavalry,
seven sotnias of Cossacks and fourteen bat
teries of artillery, which the Emperor will
review on June z, the last day of the fes-
tivities.
The part of the plain devoted to the
festivities was directly in front of the pal
ace. This wide, grass-covered space was
inclosed with Venetian masts hung with
bunting, flags and shields bearing the arms
of the various cities and provinces of Rus
sia, and within were booths, tables, OPEN
air theaters, merry-go-rounds, circuses
and swings almost innumerable.
Surrounding these were hundreds of
wooden booths filled with food, such as
bread, cake, sausages, meat pies and
caviar.
In each booth was an immense cask of
malt liquor or mead. the food and drink
being free to all who chose to come and
partake of it.
Throughout the night there was con-

DENVER, Colo, May 30.-The annual
road race on the twenty-five-mile straight
away Brighton road was won by John 2.

Dean, the winner, rode to-day his first
race, though he has been pacing A. b.

and made worlds record of :04:47.
Owing to rains last night and this morn
ing the track was slow, and especially so
for the first seven miles. The weather
was cloudy and cool.
Great interest was taken in this road
race, and the training had been thor
ough. All of the ninety-six men to start
finished the course, nine making the dis
tance under ]: 10 and fifty under / 10. Al
though Hachenberger was generally ex-
pected to win the time prize, the winning
man was not easily picked out in advance.
Especial interest was taken in the rivalry
existing between A. B. Hughes, who re-
Gently won some worlds records on the
Denver Wheel Clubs track, and Hachen-
berger. Hughes had a handicap of one

try to ride fast after he had beaten his RI
val, A. B. Hughes, but paced and managed
some of his club associates along the
route.
Stephen McGinnity, deaf mute, having
handicap of eight minutes, led the pro-
cession past Brighton by full half mile,
