camp ground two or three rather unusual
things were found worthy of little
notice. On the first day on the parade
the nests OF few ground sparrows wero
found, and in them were young birds and
their mothers never came again to feed
them, the tramp OF the men and the report
OF the guns apparently soaring them
away. Then as connecting link be-

Identified Him.

Chief OF Police Reuben II. Baker Is
quite positive that he has succeeded in
collecting sufficient evidence TO bring
the man who shot Mrs. Elizabeth Taylor
TO justice and that person Is George Man

custody. Since then.the police and mem

been at work and have succeeded In find
ing four persons who identify Munroe as
the man who ran away from Mrs. Tay-

ing. Munroe was taken to the bedside
of Mrs. Taylor yesterday afternoon, a1d
she positively identified him as the man
who did the shooting. lie was srraigned
I'm the Sixth District Court this morning
on the charge of making an assault
upon Mrs. Taylor with dangerous
weapon. He pleaded not guilty and was
held until July 21 for trial in the sum
OF $1,000. Ii is not probably tnat Mrs.
Tsylor will be able to be in court on
that date, but that Is as long as Munroe
would allow the case TO be put over, but
as the case can be put off two weeks at a
time, there will be no trouble in holding
the prisoner until Mrs. Taylor Is able 10
be in attendance at court.

CHICAGO, July 10.-1he decks are
cleared for the balloting which will be-
gin when the Democratic National Con-
vention reassem bles at 10 O'Clock today.
The real struggle will open with the de.
legtses wrought TO an intense pitch over
the sensational developments of yester-
day when the Bryan wave swept through
the convention and threatened for a
tine to stampede il then and there. 1t
has disturbed all calculations and has
thrown the supporters OF other candidates
into confusion. The day opened with a
continuance OF that deliciously cool
weather. which attended the convention
from the start. The wind came of the
prairies toward the lake, yet IL was as
bslmy as that OF early spring or late fall.
There was haze In the air like that OF
Indian summer. Light, fieecy clouds
kept of the glare OF the sun from the
great crowds which wore early on the
march toward the convention hall. The
sensation OF yesterday and last night
without the convention hall, and the
public at large was eager TO see its ex-
pected deveopments when the convention
opened today.
Chairman White and other executive
officers conferred early In the day as to
the desirability OF closing the doors
against the unruly crowd, in case OF
repitition OF the disorder and discourtesy
OF last night when Senator Turpie, SEN

Commissioners John I. Blodgett of the

able seconds together last evening, after
which they congratulated themselves and
each other on being still alive and they
were also enthusiastic In their praise of

intending to 60 to the dining rooms
above, and they were the only passengers.
The gentlemen's dining room 10 on the
fourth floor and that for ladies one story
above.
Mr.. Blodegtt was carried past his floor,
and when between that and the landing
above the elevator boy att emptd to re-
verse. In pulling back the lever the
guard wire which serves to check the
descent Of the car was thrown off the
drum at the bottom OF the shaft and the
car commenced to drop. Mr. Blodgett
was reaoing the account of the day'spro-
ceedings. at Chicago and -did not notice
anything unusual until his arm was
clutchd by Mrs. Cate and then he real
lied that they were going down at q
much greater speed than a plunger ele-
vator usually runs, and that the attend
ant apparently had no control over 1t.
1t was all over In an instant, and the
door OF the car rested fiat on the mac him
cry at the bottom of the shaft. There
was no recoil and no damage. Mrs. Cate
was thrown down by the shock, but sus-
tanned no serious injuries.
Mr.. Cate said today that his wife was
rather lame and somewhat bruised on the
arms. but that was che extent OF her in
jury. Mr.. Blodgett and the elevator boy
were not hurt at all. The commissioner
said mat there isn't money enough IL
the city treasury to hire him TO 70
through the same experience again, hut
on the other hand he considered tie
mishap splendid test OF what might b.,
expected OF plunger elevator in nD
emergency; and SO confident was he
that 20 minutes later, when the guard
wire had been slipped over the drum, he
got aboard again and went up To the din
ing room on the fourth floor with an APP
petite that was unimpaired.

At 1857, chairman White of California,
who had recovered the use of bis voice,
stepped TO the front OF the stage. Kun
ming his eye for couple of seconds over
the acres OF people, he glanced down TO
the battered delegations In tho pit, and
with heavy whack OF the gayel called
the convention to order. With shuffiing
feet the vast audience arose and listened
to the prayer OF Rev. DIR. Green, the chap
lain for righteousness and peace.
Chairman White then announced that the
convention was still on the call OF states
for nominations. Thereupon Mr.. Harrity
OF Pennsylvania, chairman Of the nation
al committee. mounted his chair and
placed in nomination Ex-Governor Rob-
ert Il. Pattison. This evidence that Pen
nsylvenia would stand by the platform
and participate In the nomination drew
cry of delight from the silver men and
Pattison's name got swinging round OF
applause from the galleries. MIR. Mat
tingly OF the District OF Columbia, sec-
onded the nomination of that "peerless
champion of free silver. that firm friend
of the farmer and lsborer, John X. Nc
Lean of Ohio.'
Delegate Miller OF Oregon added to the
list OF nominations the name of SyIves-
ter Pennoyer OF Oregon. The names Of
Bland, Bryan, BOies, Black burn, Mat
thews, Mclean, Pattison and Pennoyer
In the middle East New Jersey and
Delaware showed the same feeling. Sem
ator Winton Of the..New Jersey delegation
said the Populists have made the plat
form and would name the ticket, now
they must elect IT. "No Democrat can
support the ticket, nor can he support
Nick inley. The sentiment In the delega-
ii IN indicates that the same silent, non
participation viii occur as when Horace
Greeley was nominated and 1900 New
jersey Democrats stayed away from the
polls. Local county and city tickets
Will be voted on, and the National ticket
let alone"
The balIoting then began, amid In
tense excitement. The Bryan forces, or
a part of them at least, thought there was
a chance of their fayorite showing more
strength than any other candidate for
the nomination, but they were disap-
pointed. for the Bland men held their
own and gave "Silyer Dick" the largest
vote so far cast Ii was a long time be-
fore the result was known, and even
after the vote had been taken several
changes were made by request The
official announcement of the first ballot
was made as follows:

wandered about the streets with their

Despite the refreshing breeze that floats
through the city at intervals the heat re-
tanned in the pavements is so great as
to cause considerable discomfort.
At 2:20 o'clock this afternoon the
thermometer in the city engineers office
registered SS degrees, the hottest 10th of
July experienced since '92, whom the mer-

After the announcement of the result
of the fret ballot the various factions
INDUCED in cheering the names of their
candidates and the Bryan supporters
openly declared that they would land
their man eventually. The Bland men
did not do so much taking, but they
were equally confident OF making their
favorite the nominee OF the convention.
Amid good deal OF confusion the
second ballot was taken and the result
was announced as follows:

tion speeches, battled in vain against the
confused murmur of hurrahs and cat
calls. While there was no disposition to
check the expression Of exubecant feel-
ing at proper moments there was a de-
termination not to permit IL to take a bso-
lutte control Of the convention and pre-
vent the transaction of business.
As the balloting was about to begin, it
was felt that one of two conditions
would be sbown--either that the etbusi-
astic element would nominate, and would
swing delegations into line with one ao-
cord, or else that condition would be
shown which would make a protracted
deadlock inevitable. The Bryan forces
were making the most of the phenomenal
rise of the young orator from Nebraska
yesterday. The adjournment at midnight
had given the leaders of other candidates
an opportunity to rally their forces, and
II served also 70 give few hours in
which cool counsel could prevail against
the wave OF sentiment which was at high
tide last night. But the convention hall
continued to be full OF Bryan rumors.
Mr.. Bryan remained away from the
convention hall after concluding, his
speech, but received bulletins detailing
the progress OF the movement in his be-
half. He conferred last night and early
today with the leaders in charge OF his
interests and advised them on the steps
to be taken. IL had been his judgment
that his name should be formally pre-
sented through a nominating speech, but
should await such developments as the
balloting might bring.
Ihe Bland managers, while admitting
the danger OF the impetuous Bryan move
ment, declared that It was the result of
aoroit generalsbip ana that II had failed
In its purpose TO carry the conventio
OF Its feet. They still held their strong
holds OF Missouri, Arkansas, Illinois and
Texas, and were smilingly confident that
the actual figures would take from the
Bryon movement its element OF popular
enthusiasm. The Bland men still counted
on the West aud were hopeful OF winning
nccessions from the South after tho first
ballot. The Boies and Matthews forces
were satisfied that no nomination could
be made on the early ballots, and that
Bland and Bryan would disappear after
their full strength had been registered
and had been found insufficient to nomi-
nate. The lesser candidates were playing
a waiting game, believing that the time
would come wnen the convention would
i'm despet alton turn from its arst favori-
ties, aud seek Others on whom strength
could be concentrated.
Mr.. William q Whitney voiced the sit
uation this morning when he said: "We
have already taken means toward the ac-
complishmont OF an end. We shall know
within 30 days just what the people want
US To do, and we shall do it,"
