had been rather roughly handled, and his
following was horrited to see him sud-
denly pitch forward on his desk. A phy-
slclan was summoned and pronounced it a
case of apoplexy. Bugbee was taken fro m
the hall, and died two days later without
regaining consciousness.
Another chairman was selected, the
meeting continued and delegation was
elected to contest at St. Louis the seats of
I. S. Snowell, the wellknown mining
man; G. S. Johnson, ex-United States At

prominent feature of the great con-
tention that had preceded the calling of
the convention was the political work of
one George Washington Delamater, known
in Pennsylvania political circles. He was
recently sent to the northern territory, it
is said, in the interests of the Presidential
candidacy of Senator Matt QUAY.
John S. Bugbee was we'll known in San
Francisco, having lived here twenty-five
years. He was a graduate of Boston
grammar school and studied law in that
city. He came to San Francisco in 1861 to
meet his father, who was then one of the
leading architects of California. The
senior Bugbee built the houses OF Leland
Stanford and Charles Crocker.
Some years later the son, John S. Bug
bee, was married to an estimable Young
lady OF Boston, sister OF Mrs. Sidney Nj.

performed by DR.. Horatio Stebbins. Mrs.

CHARGED WITH SEVEN MURDERS.
Hernsann's Record of Crime Rivals That
of Holmes.

HeTnSdn1pS hecord OF CTt9Iae hfCdtS That
of Holmes.
SALT LAKE, UTAH, May 24.-The de-
velopments in the church tragedy in this
city lead TO the belief that the Rev
Francis Hermann is a man with record
OF crime little less than the notorious
Holmes. His first wife died in England
under suspicious circumstances. He was
pastor of Scandinavian church at West
Superior, Wis, in 1890 and 1891, and there
married highly respectable lady, who in
less than year died very suddenly with
her two weeks old baby.
An inquest was held, but nothing be-
yond a suspicion of foul play was elected.
Hermann soon married again and came to
Salt Lake in 1894 with his wife. Before
long baby WIS born and the mother and
child died suddenly a few weeks after
ward.
Then his acquaintance with Miss CIau
son commenced, and 1t is charged in the
complaint which has been sworn to by
John Samson, a member of the church
here, that he murdered and cremated the
body in the heating furnace in the church
basement.
Hermann was engaged to marry Miss
Samuelson in February of this year, but
she disappeared, and it is charged that he
poisoned her and carved up the body in
the church cellar.
As far as yet discovered it is believed
Hermann has murdered seven persons.
Miss Clauson came to Salt Lake from
Omaha seven years ago. She was a native
Of Sweden and as far as known had no
relatives in this country, but she had
many friends here and was considered a
good and respectable girl. Miss Samuel
son was employed as a nursery governess
in a good family here and left her place to
be married to the prea She had an
aunt and other relatives living here and
was member of Hermann's church.
The church officers say that Hermann
was suspended recently for embezzling
church funds, confessed his guilt in tha
regard, and was waiting hearing before
the annual Methodist Conference He
was a fne-looking man and very generally
liked. He is represented as having great
liking for the study of medicine, anatomy
and kindred subjects. and often delivered
disquisitions on the human form.

DEATH ENDS AN ALASKA CONVENTION RIOT,

stand on gold platform. New York will
present such candidate, and the vote OF
| this State will be cast for him unani-
| mously.
81 observe that ex-senator Miller, in an
interview, says l have no commission to
speak for our delegation on that point. 1t
is small matter whether l have or not.
The important thing is as to the fact, and
Mr.. Miller will scarcely deny the fact.
HE, for instance, having been elected
delegate at Governors Morton's request,
had attended the conference at which it
was resolved to place Governor Morton in
the field, having been the first man there
to advocate that action and the first man
to proclaim to the world by a formal in
terview when the conference adjourned,
that he, of course, would be the Cover
nor's stanchest supporter in the conven-
ton. He says 1 must not speak for him,
but can certainly recall his record in the
matter and [ can at least express enough
confidence In his character as a man to
say that he will keep faith with himself
and make good his promises.
what is true of Mr.. Miller in this re-
spect is similarly true of the other dele
gates whether they represent districts or
the State at large. 1t should be plain to
the public that ali this Mckinley hula
buloo in New York is simply so much
empty sound. 1t will not affect the vote
at st. Louis of single New York delegate.
1t is a familiar noise. We hear it every
spring and fall. 1t proceeds from that
same old crowd of 'antis' who have
been performing in this way these many
years. And there is not an intelligent
man who does not know that if the regu-
lar organization to-day were advocating
Mckinley all these people would be de-
nounclng Mckinley and declaring him un-
tit for public station. They don't care
fig about Mckinley; they simply make
use of his name and position to aid their
conspiracy for the overthrow of the Re-
publican organization.
Meanwhile the Republican organiza-
ton of New York, standing in the inter-
est of the business community and a sound
public sentiment throughout the country,
will Loyalty support the nomination of Gov
ernor Morton and the adoption of plain.
unequivocal, direct pledge to the people
that the gold standard shall be maintained
and our currency system reformed on
that basis 1t will oppose the nomina-
IAon Oh Mchlnley on the ground
that he is dangerous and misleading
candidate, whose votes and speeches show
that he has no settled convictions on the
money question and whose managers have
endeavored to secure support of one part
of the country by declaring that he is in
favor of silver, producing in each of such
parts of the country those peculiar por-
tions OF his record as seemed to sustain
the impression they desired to create in
that particular location
