TRAMP SAVES AN EXPRESS.
Finds Dynamite the Track and Stops

the Train just In the Nick of Time.
CINCINNATI, Nov. IA special from
Washington, Ind, says tramp saved
an express train from being wrecked by
dynamite short distance east of Mitch
ell, Ind The story is that the tramp,
about 1 o. m, found enough dynamite
and nitro. glycerine placed on the track
to blow the engine to pieces as soon as
it struck it. Having no other mode of
signalling, he ran to the nearest switch,
tore off the lamp and returning, sig
nailed the approaching train, AS he
was doing so he was shot at by the
wreclers and was found unconscious by
the trainmen.
The officers of the Baltimore and Ohio
Southwestern are inclined to doubt the
tramp's story, as they have no informal
ton of his being wounded. nor of his
having shown any dynamite. How
ever, they have ordered bloodhounds to
the scene ana will investigate the mat

SILVER DOLLARS.
Fifty Millions at Present Stored In

NEW YORK, June 13.-Work on the
new steel vault for the storage of silver
coin IN the basement of the United
states sub-Treasury in Wall street is
progressing rapidly, and the contractor
expects to have ii ready for use in about
TWO weeks. There are now $4,000, 900
silver dollars, and more than $4,000, 600
IN subsidiary silver coin stored in the
sup-Ireasury basement, and the neces-
slty Tor additional vault room has of
late become pressing
The new vault is box II feet square
and lO feet high, made of steel plates
TWO inches thick. 1t is firmly set in the
corridor adjoining the old steel vault
and 1t will hold about $50 600. 900 in sill
Yer com. lnasmuch as there is compara-
lively little silver coinage going on in
TINS country at present it is not ex-
pected that the new vault will fill up
very rapidly
The silver dollars that are now in
storage, however, are likely to remain
tEere Indefinitely. The experience of
many years has proved that it is impos-
slble to keep them in circulation From
time to time a few thousand dollars are
Withdrawn by private persons for some
SPECIFIC reason, but they soon find their
way back into the Treasury vaults.
Even the banks, which have strong and
capaciouS vaults of their own. are
averse to giving storage room to the

ing from j. S. Clarkson:
Spring LAKE IN. J), June 13.-
Hon. T. S. Platt: I had expected until
to- day to respond to my irresistible de-
sire to be with you In the fight you are
so loyalty and undauntedly making for
fair play in the party and fair play for
the country, but my trouble Obstinately
continues, and fmy physician says it
would be foolhardy for me to attempt
the journey, so must abandon the hope.
I can only express my keen regret for
my enforced absence, and send you my
thanks and my congratulations for the
stanch and inspiriting leadership you
are so opportunely showing in this
time, when the party so greatly needs
its largest wisdom in choosing its ticket
and its most fearless sense Of duty in
making it's platform.
For its own sake the panty should
choose at St. Louis the safest and
strongest candidate to be found for its
leader, regardless of any mans ambl-
ton or any factional programme. For
its own and the country's sake, too, it
should make it's declaration as plain
and explicit for the safest standard for
money known to the world. AS for
protection to American industries and
answering loyalty to American ideas.
] am with you in these aspirations, and
50. believe, are an actual majority or
the thinking and Unconditional members
Of the Republican party. A candidate
for President weak in any vital prln-
ciple or a platform weak on either OF
the two vital and supreme current is
sues, would needlessly imperil party
success in this otherwise invinci-
BILE Republican year. You and all with
you who stand for the safest possible
ticket and the soundest possible plat
form are right in your position. You
deserve to win, and / hope you may.

ment is made by firing a big cannon.
The City Hall bell will be rung by wire

and manufacturers called ON Major
Mckinley this afternoon. Governor
Lippett Of Rhode Island was also a
caller.
Delegate-at-Large G. F. Turlin Of
Nevada, ce-Presidential possibility,
spent some time with Mr.. Mckinley.
He said: None of our delegation is in
structed for Mckinley, and 1 see that
his managers are claiming only half
CT the delegation, sbut 1 would not be
surprised if all the Nevada delegates
voted for the Ohio candidate on the
first ballot. There is absolutely nothing
in this talk about Western delegates
holting if our demands relative to a
tree-silver plank are not granted. We
are going to ST. Louis to make the best
fight we can for free silver, but we will
stand by the Republican party no mat
ter what it's declaration on the finan-
cial question is. We would, of course,
like free-silv plank; but if a sound
money plank is the best we can get,
we will try to be satisfied with that"

Chairman.

ST. LOUIS, June 13.-The principal
feature Of to-day's developments was
the unexpected victory won py the
Platt forces in the contest before the
National Committee over the delegates
from the Twelfth New York City DIS
trict. By a vote of % to % the COM
mittee decided that Cornelius Bliss anu
8 Van Rensselaer, Cruger (anu-Fiatp
were not entitled to a full vote each On
the motion. however, that Messrs- car
Ioll and Barns Platt mem were prop
erly elected, so strong a division or
sentiment was created that 1t became
apparent that an all-night session
might be necessary to complete this
and the two other New York cases.
The only element Of uncertainty in
the Presidential race beside the finan-
cial plank is the conventions choice Tor
second place Ex-senator Warner Mil
ler of New York refuses to permit the
use of his name, and advances rea-
sons why he could not and would not
accept the nomination. H. Clay Evans
of Tennessee is still a strong candidate.
and will probably receive a large vote
in the convention. Mr.. Hobart of New
Jersey is also well regarded, and the
New Jersey politicians are working
earnestly in his behalf.
1t is obvious, however, that the Vice
President will be named by the Nc
Kinley forces. They are easily masters
of the situation, and the man of their
choice will be the one to whom this
honor will be given. At present they
are undecided as to the course they
shall pursue. There is a general dispo-
sition among them to select an East
ern man, and 1t is for this reason that
an incipient boom was started by
some of the number to-day for ex-Gov-
ernor Dingley of Maine. Senator Haw-
ley of Connecticut is well regarded by
them, but at present they are more in
terested in the platform and other mat
ters of detail than the Vice-Presidency.
So far as the platform is concerned,
there is apparently no doubt that it will
declare against the free coinage OF sill
yer, except by international agreement
at any ratio, and for the maintenance of
the present standard. On such a plat
form Chauncey NJ. Depew says New
York State can be carried by 10000
majority.
