WHAT sEwALL Is WORTH.
It is Said That He Has Only About
100000.

New York July 28-Concerning the
wealth and corporate interests of Mr.
SewaH many stories have been told
The vice presidential candidate has
been rated as the richest man in New
England and an effort has been made
to picture him as a bloated bondhOlder,
seeking to bleed the masses
The truth is that Arthur Sewall is
worth about $4OO 600, represented large
ly in property. He is president of the
Bath National bank, which has a cap
itaI of s125, 900, and he owns about one
sixth of the stock. There are three
other national banks in Bath-two of
$500, 900 capital and one of $1,000 600. Mr.
Sewau is not a director in the Maine
Central railroad, and has not been since
he retired from its presidency. The
road is a small one, and has long since
been absorbed by the Boston & Maine
company, though it nominally remains
independent Mr.. Sewall has no official
connection whatever with any railroad,
except the New York and New England
which is in the hands of a receiver. He
is nominaIly a director of the corpora
ton under the old arrangement
Three years ago Mr.. SewaI lost con-
fdence in corporate property. and at
the present time he is director in but
two companies-the Maine Water com
pany and the Gardiner company of
100000 capital His ship yards, which
have been represented as the biggest in
New England, have evidently been con
founded with the plant of the Bath Iron
works. It is a modest establishment,
containing but two buiIdings-a ma
chine shop, 24O feet long, and black
smith shop of about $50 feet
Mr.. Sewau is part owner in about 20
vessels. His tax assessment last year
was 81. .659

Mccormick Who is in States Prison
Appeals to Supreme Court

Oliver Mccormick alias I. T. Jones,
has filed an appeal in the supreme
court from the judgment of the district
court of jackson county which sentenc-
ed him 20 four years in the peniten-
tiary for obtaining money under false
pretenses.
McCormick's attorney also appealed
for a stay of sentence until the case is
heard. The court ordered the sentence
bond for two thousand dollars. No
bond has yet been offered.
Mccormick or Oliver was arrested
and tried for passing a check on J. 3.
Fritz for $50, drawn on the Interstate
bank at the stockyards at Kansas City,
Kan, which was signed I. T. oliver.
His defense was an alibi but the jury
did not believe it and he got four years
in Lansing. Beside the usual techni-
calities raised to reverse the case Nc
COrmick claims one of the jurors which
sat in the case had made up his mind
as to the case before he was called in
to the jury box.

Mr.. Bryan has received a number of

gard to the action of the Populist con-
vent1on, and to all of them he respond
ed, in effect, that he will act with de-
liberation, and that nothing will be
done which can be justly criticised by
any of the elements who are sincerely
interested in the success of the cause of
bimetallism.
In his replies to these expressions he
earnestly advises all friends of the

widely they may differ. otherwise oc-

alton. Every entreating inquiry caIcu-
lated to fathOm his plans or PURPOSES

THE NEWS GIVEN OUT
81 a Friend Close to Senator
Hill.
Bryan Party He Says Is Essen
TALLY POpulist.

Chicago, July 28-A special to the
Record from New York says:
Senator Hill is now in favor of a
third ticket. This information comes
direct from a personal friend OF the
senator, who is a prominent Demo
crat-
The action of the Populist convention
at St. Louis is what seems to have
caused Mr.. Hill TO come to a decision as
TO his course. The position of the SEN
atOr is thus published by the friend IN
question as follows:
Mr. Hill has been between two fires
from both factions of the party for
some time. He could not indOrse the
Chicago platform nor could he adVO-
cate the election of any candidate who
stOOp upon it. The St Louis POpuESt
convention only served to widen the
breach between the sound money and
silver wings of the party, making it
impossible to bridge it. as the western
Democrats had practically affiliated
with the POpulists in every thing but in
name. You will find that when the
Saratoga state convention meets, Mr.
Hill will be against the Bryan ticket.
The New York Senator is simply fol-
lowing in the footsteps OF Flower, Whit
ney, Lamont, and other eminent lead
ers in the Empire state"
Senator Hill himself continues non
committal and the state committee,
which meets at the Hoffman House to-
day will merely decide, it is said, to
call the convention at Saratoga without
indicating any line of policy.
All doubt as to Tammanys intentions
concerning the Chicago ticket and plat
form has been set at rest by the issue
of a call for meeting of the executive
committee Friday to arrange the de
tails for ratifying the ticket This step
was decided upon by Mr.. Martin and
John c. Sheehan in accordance with
the expressed desires of 80 out of S5
district leaders of TammRny. Senator
Hill and other leaders of the state or
gan1zat1On have endeaVOred to induce
Tammany to defer action until after
the state convention, but the majority
OF the district leaders in the wiewau
IS opposed to any pOstpOnement and

Mr.. Sewall should retire, Texas Popu-
lists would probably be content with
Bryan and Watson even though Bryan
did not endorse all the platform
L was absolutely sincere when I said
would not accept either place on the
Populist national ticket. I thought our
party would have no difficulty in nam
ing q straight out POpulist ticket and
did not desire either place. I stayed
away from the convention partly to
avoid prominence and the Georgia del
egation had positive instructions not to
allow the use of my name. After the
convention and the fusion strength de-
veioped it seemed that our party would
be swallowed up by the Bryan forces
and to have gone into the presidential
campaign with no Populist on the ma
tional ticket meant death to the Peo-
pies party. The Georgia delegat- on
then telegraphed me urging me to al
low the use of my name to harmonic
the factions and save the party. I con-
sented and will abide by the conse-
quences. When said I would not ac-
cept I did rot dream that such a crisis
could possibly come upon our party.

MAY BE A BRANCH HERE.
Subheadquarters of the National Pop.
ulist Committee at Topeka

John w. Breidenthal said this morn
ing in regard to the report that there
is a possibility of branch headquarters
of the Populist party being esta bIished
in Topeka:
There was no definite action taken
by the executive committee. The mat
ter was discussed. and it is quite likely
that a branch office will be opened at
Chicago. Further than this nothing
was said. 1 think, however, that the
western states may have a branch Of
fee opened either in Kansas or in Ne
braska.
The committee will be called togeth-
er soon. The chairman, Senator But
ler has said that he will call meeting
at an early date, at which time these
things will probably be taken care of. -
Speaking of the political situation
naturally. Mr.. Breidenthal said:
You must remember that all the
parties are in a peculiar situation this
year. There never was a time before
in the history of the presidential cam
paigns of this country when there was
not some party which was united and
ready for a campaign. Such is not the
case today. There is not a party that
has held a convention this year that
has not had a more or less of a split

of our electors in this state will be
Strengthened out in a short time, not
only in this state, but in every state

*. C.'S DEATH TRAP.
Another Accident on the Ninth Street
Gable at the Incline.

Kansas City. July 2S.-An accident
occurred on the Ninth street incline
leading to the Union depot at $40 yes
teruay afternoon which resulted in the
smashing up of a car and the injury of
tne train crew and three passengers
VINO were ptnioned beneath the car
The train, a Ninth street one. was
manned by Conductor J. Houtes and
Gripman Arthur Meyers. As it neared
Je1ersOn street. going west the laws of
the grip slipped and as the gripman
threw the handle over in an effort to
catch a better hold on the rome he lost
the cable entirely, and the train went
dashing down the incline. There were
three passengers on the grip car. Geo.
D. F'earey of this city and his two sis
ters, Mrs G s. Gay and Miss Hewlett
Eearey Of New York In the trailer
there We're four women, who were
greatly excited and when the carstart-
ed down the incline they attempted to
jump off at the side Conductor
HOutes restrained them and then at
tempted to use the safety hook on the
rear end of the car In this he was un-
successful, for the train was going at
such rapid rate by this time that
when the hook caught in one of the iron
safety loops it snapped off like a match
ana was useless He then ran to the
other end of the car and applied the
brake, but it had little effect on the
speed of the train.
When the grip reached the bottom of
the incline it turned the short curve
ana the car proper was lifted com
pletely off the trucks and piled over on
its side. The trailer did not leave the
track and the passengers on it ESCAPED
with few bruises and good shaking
up Those on the grip car were held
fast, however, and it was some little
time before they could be extricated
Mr. F'earey received a bad cut above
the right eye. a bruise on the back of
the head, a blow on the right shoulder
blade, and an injury to some of his
ribs. Mrs. Gay was thrown on her

and back. The conductor received a
small cut on the upper lip and the grin
