ceptlon at Lexington, ky., and made Il
speech at the Fair Grounds to an i'm
menSe audience, estimated from Is,
600 to 10000 people. The appearance
of the candidate was the signal for an
ovation. Mon waved their hats as
they cheercd, and the women waved
handkercEiefs as they joined in the
shouting. Mr.. Bryan was presented by
State Senator Bronson. Just after tho
candidate had begun his speech a
heavy shower drove many Of the spec
tators from the felG, but their places
we're taken by a continuous stream Of
constantly arriving people.
Ono OF the pleasant incidents Of the
day was tho parade of over eight
thousand horsemen which passed. tho
stand from which Mr.. Bryan was
speaking. In the middle Of his speech
the equestrians made their appearance
carrying banners and Interrupted Mr..
Bryan in his talk, making very i'm.
pressive sight. They checrcd him
time and again, and fell in line at the
outskirts of the crowd and listened TO
the rest Of his speech
When Mr.. Bryan had been intro
duccd, he spoke as follows:
1t Is not often that the money qucs-
tion Is presented to the people. 1t is
desirable that there should be fixed

OVATION AT OMAHA.

of Bryan.


OMAHA, Neb., July a1-Upon the occasion
of his first visit to Omaha since his nomina-
ton, Hon w. j. Bryan was this evening ten
dered an ovation, entirely non-partisan in it's
tenor and character. When the train pulled
into Omaha the platform was crowded with
a cheering, bowling assembly of men, women,
children, whose vocal efforts drowned the
music OF the first regiment band. A large
platform had been erected on Douglas street
Around it was assembled crowd Of people,
the wide streets for over a block in each di-
rection being densely packed. The appear
ance of Mr.. Bryan was the signal for pro-
brief intervals Until Judge Doan Invited

lican, who delivered an address Of Welcome
When Mr.. Bryan mounted table upon the
platform it was several minutes before 'hfs
gestures hushed the urroar and his remarks
were frequently interrupted by cheers. He
said:

claimed that the other was composed
of men who were not Populists One
of the delegations was headed by H.
) Taylor and the other by William
Burns. who, as an officer of the Amerl-
can Railway union, was imprisoned
with Eugene Debs after the Chicago
strike.
Speeches were made by both Burns
and Taylor, who went over the merits
of the controversy in detail and indul-
ged in mutual recriminations The con-
test was decided by the adoption. by
the committee, of a motion offered by
Ignatius Donnelly giving each mem
Der of both delegations half a vote. the
vote in favor of this motion being 40
to Is.
The hearing in the Ohio case follow
ed This controversy applied to the
nineteenth Ohio district involving three
district seats and indirectly the seat of
one delegate at large. The district con-
testantS on one side were R. M. Smith

on the other j. M. H. Frederick, +. G.
Dcolittle and M. H. Webster.
ILLINOIS CONTEST.
The only issue was as to the regu-
larity of the call for the two conven-
tons. The Smith convention was called
by the state committee, and the Fred
erick convention by the congressional
committee. The national committee
took the position that the congressional
call was regular and they seated the
Frederick delegation.
Police were stationed outside the
doors of the hall in which the commit
tee held it's evening session. and they
were frequently In demand to prevent
PERSONAL encounters between the con-
testing delegations from Chicago There
was one f1sticuff between H. S. TAYLOR
the leader of the regulars and Seymour
Stedman. of the opposing delegation.
Inc Illinois case was again under con-
sideration in the committee room. The
committee had decided to reopen tha
contest upon the request Of the mem
bers of the delegations whose seats
were not contested and who had unan-
imously declared that the Taylor fac
ton was entitled to the seats. After
an hours elaboration the COMMITTEES
reversed it's decision of this afternoon
which gave half a vote to each mem
Der of both delegations. They decided
tonight by vote Of 80 to "a to seat the
Taylor delegation.
There was considerable feeling in the
committee over the contest, and 1t was
specially intense among some of the
Chicago people on the outside. They
declared that the committee had been
packed, and that tonight's action was
necessary to sustain Mr.. Taubeneck in
his position of national chairman. The
Taubeneck-Taylor people were very
much elated over the result. The ousted
faction will press their claims for seats
before the committee on credentials.
Should they fall there they will APP
peal to the court Of last resort, the
convention itself.
1t was finally decided to let the mat
ter go over until tomorrow morning.
The middle Of the road men still as
sert that they will vote for some other
candidate than Butler.

I1llie Anderson the terrible Swede from
Chicago, fairly demonstrated to the ;, 600 neo-
PIE rhat had gathered at Athletic mark last
evening that she is the best of all ladv hi
cycle riders. 1t was done in such shape that
there can no longer remain any doubt in
the matter. The way she out-spurted DottIe
Farnsworth in the two five-mile heats that
We're run was revelation, and gained for
her hundreds of new admirers. The FIRST
race was started from scratch. This was
devoid of any particular exhibition I'D to the
nnlsh. AT that time Farnsworth held the
pole and started on a squirt five lans before
the finish and stayed in the lead up to the
last lap. Then Anderson, by phenomenal
squirt, passed her and won by forty feet.
The time was IA minutes and "a Is seconds

In the next race the riders started on
opposite sides. Considerable interest has
since the race was first arranged as it was
understood that this would show the respec-
tive ladies' endurance. At the report of the
starters pistol both were off like a shot.
For two laps they went around without any
perceptible gain on the part of either. At
the finish of the third lap Anderson showed
a gain of a few feet. In the sixth lap she
had lead of twenty feet, and held that for
several laps At time 1t looked as if
Dottie was about to regain, but Anderson by
a grand effort not only held her lead, but
augmented it. The first mile was reeled off
In 2;36 2-5. AT one mile and eight laps An
derson had gained the half lap and passed
Farnsworth, who was now seemingly in dis
tress from over-exerton. AS she finished
her one mile and eight laps she fell in a
dead faint and had to be carried to her apart
ments by her trainer. Anderson finished the
race alone, covering the five miles in 14:15,
and was declared the winner of the match.
She afterwards rode mile exhibition against
time with flying start in 2:35, which beat
Farnsworth's former lady record by one and
one--fifth seconds.

FRANKFORT, KY, July 21.-Nine
lives were lost as the result Of last
nights floods, as far as heard from.
Gaines bridge, over Benson creek, was
washed away, four miles from town.
The dead are:
JAMES BRADLEY, wife and four children.
MRS. BRYANT, a widow, and two chill
dren.
They lived in a fiat along Benson
creek which rose SO rapidly that the
houses were washed away before the
occupants knew of their danger. Mrs
Bryant is a daughter of Squire Dan
Moore, candidate for county judge
James Sudduth, a tenant, made a
miraculous escape with his family. He
lives on Benson creek. He was awak-
ened by the storm and discovered that
the creek had swollen and was likely
to sweep his house away He swan
over mile, procured horse, and the
family made their escape from the
house only few minutes before it was
washed away by the rush of waters
Traffic on the Louisville, Cincinnati
& Lexington, Louisville & Nashville
and Chesapeake & Ohio will go over the
Louisville Southern tracks, via Lex

A half dozen or more county bridges
have been washed away. The most val
liable one was the one recently con-
structed over Benson creek at a cost
OF $4,000. Hundreds of acres of crops
are totally ruined and it is impossi-
Die to even Approximate the damage.
Trains run to the bridge from both di-
rections, but the waters are so high
that it is impossible to transfer pas
sengers by boat or otherwise.
The bodies Of Bradley. his wife and
two children have been recovered
Many people living in Benson valley
left their houses and waded out
through mad waters, only escaping a
few minutes before the buildings
washed away. The destruction to
property in many parts Of Franklin
county is complete. Damage is esti-
mated at 100000 at the lowest figure,
and is probably a good deal more
Ia tramp, who was refused lodging
by James Hewlett, saved the lives of
his family. He stopped in the barn,
afterWard came to the door and awoke
the FAMILY just in time for them to get
out safely.
Coroner Dehoney tonight had an in
quest on the bodies recovered, and re-
turned a verdict of accidental drown
ing. They were James c. Bradley,
rather; Emma T., wife; Elro aged
eight; Mile Bryant and children. Ell
lison, aged two; Nora, aged thirteen
and Thomas Massie, colored. The re-
mains of Flora Bradley have not been
recovered. Dan Moore ran for the
Bryant house and cried to the family
to flee for their lives. They were too
late.
