ranigation, while Michigan votes are
also expected. 1t will further be noticed
that Nebraska is figured In the silver
column, and this is because. while there
is contest, the silver men say that they
will see that the gold standard men are
not seated. 1t is the security In this
preponderance of votes that makes the
silver leaders confident Of ultimate VIC
tory. The decision upon the abrogation
OF the two-thirds vote on nominations
may be delayed until after temporary
and permanent organization. and until
Just an the convention is ready TO nom-

men recognize the superiority OF num-

silver men will force the issue, and re-

lucky, in Indiana and in your own
State, sir, where the rules of justice
which govern just men in all relations
of life have been denied to the majority,
where powers have been usurped, even
by minorities, and this great Demo-
cratic party is threatened with destruc
ton at the hands of such. We, there
fore, protest against such acts of
usurpation. We believe in justice, and
as has been said so often, in the su
premacy of law and resistance to that
mob rule which would trample law and
right and justice under foot. l, Mr..
Chairman, am here from Kentucky a
participant to some extent in this great
n,ovement-for it is a great movement.
The voice which you have uttered here
tonight, and which this committee has
uttered, will go forth as a warning to
those who would usurp powers in the
interest of individual ambition, to those
who would for the sake of obtaining
personal preference trample right and
justice under foot. We expect no vic
tory. We do not expect to win one
electoral vote for the ticket which we
will name. We expect to meet our
Thermopylae as did the Spartan band,
but in that case our hope is that the
example of our devotion to princi-
Ile will be the means of hereafter
achieving a glorious Marathon for the
Democracy" Great applause)
Several members of the committee
alos made short speeches, and the con-
vention adjourned.

FIRE IN A MINE.
The Fate of Many of the Workmen as
Yet Unknown.

KANKAKEE Ull), Aug. 1T is re-
ported here late tonight that a mine
at Clarke City is on fire. The mining
town of Clarke City is several miles
from here and is not reached by any
railroad. 1t is only a few miles from
buckingham, but no news of any fire
has reached that place.
Later-It is difficult to get anything
definite from the fire reported at Clarke
City, owing to lack of telegraphic COM
rnunication. AS far as can be learned,
the main shaft of the Gardner Will
mington Coal Company was destroyed
by fire. Thirty men were working in
the mine when the fire broke out, but
fifteen of them escaped The fate Of the
others is unknown. The shaft is 100
feet deep, but it is reported that the
ar is bad. Most of the miners are Ital-
.ans and other foreigners.

Aluminium Castings.

; The Aluminium World" in a recent
issue, gives the following rules with
regard to obtaining the best castings
which are SO frequently met with in
melting. An essential point men
tioned is the special care to be taken
not to overhead the metal, the fact be-
ing that, if it be heated to too high a
temperature, the aluminum will oxi-
die, the oxide which is thus formed
making the entire casting what arti-
sans term dirty" and the metal will
also be spongy from the presence of
large amount of occluded gases: the
scum, too, which floats on top of the
melted bronze in the crucible must be
prevented from going into the body of
the casting, this being practicable by
providing the casting with suitable
skim gates. The greatest trouble in
making bronze casting, however, arises
from the shrinkage of the metal, which
is very great-a difficulty which is over
come if the casting have large sink
ing head and ''risers," it being neces-
sary, however, in many cases to make
the sinking head fully as large as the
casting

coming tightly jammed in the crevice

no six months ago upon being released

Francisco.

RENO (Nev.), Aug. THE excite
ment caused by the diabOlical attempt
on the passenger train last night was
intensified this morning by the news
that another attempt had been made
this morning at the same spot. This
second attempt removed all doubt as to
whether the first had been due to acci-
dent.
AS the swing freight train running
between Truckee and Reno reached the
spot Engineer Cronin almost ran into
a lot of loose ties that had been piled
on the track over the same culvert.
Fortunately he saw them in time and
succeeded in stopping his train before
he reached them. From the way the
ties had been placed on the track it is
evident that the train wreckers had
worked very hurriedly, evidently fear
ing interruption. AS the wreckers
seemed to like that particular part of
the track, watchers were placed there
to guard it.
Railroad Detectives Brissel1 and
Ahern Of Sacramento arrived here early
this morning and took charge of the
case. The railroad officials are greatly
excited and are determined if possible
to run down the guilty parties. All the
benO OH1CerS are out looking Tor cIeWS
and the railroad detective force will
probably be increased during the day.
It is thought that the attempted
wrecking is the work of tramps, who
were put off the train and who have
taken this method of getting revenge.
From the character of the two attempts
1t seems hardly likely that robbery
could have been the motive, for robbers
would not attempt to derail a switch
freight train after failing to wreck an
express train. There have been a good
many suspicious trampS in this neigh
borhood of late, and it is probable that
a grand roundup will take place to as
certain whether any of them can be
connected with the train wrecking at
tempt.
TWO ARRESTS MADE.
RENO, Aug. 1.-Two men were
arrested to-day on suspicion of being
connected with the attempt at train
wrecking here last night. They have
the appearance Of being tramps, but
they have not yet been identified. They
were found lettering In the neighbor-
hood of the culvert where the attempt
ed wreck occurred, and have not been
able to give a satisfactory account of
their movements.
