An Engine ExplOdes.

A horrible accident occurred on
the Nashville, Chattanooga 81 st.
Louis Railroad at Bridgeport, Ala,
yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock.
The boiler of freight engine No.
81 exploded, instantly killing engln-
eer John Walkup and Fireman Will
Irwin, while Brakeman S. p Riggle
was probably fatally scalded.
The dead and injured were of the
crew of south bound local freight
No. 7, which left Nashville yester-
day morning for Chattanooga. The
local was on a side track in order
thar passenger train could pass,
when the explosion occurred.
At the engineer, fireman and
brakeman were sitting in the engine
cab, and so sudden is an explosion of
that character that the first two
probably never knew the cause of
their death. Their bodies and the
bod of Riggle were thrown some
distance from the cab, and when
members of the crew reached scene
it was at first supposed that Brake
man Rlggle was dead. After an
examination, however, it developed
! that he was alive, with very slim
chances of recovery.
Riggles face and hands are terrib-
: ly scalded, and besides he has sever
al ugly wounds about the head and
/ body. He was in a semi-conscious
condition, and the physicians enter
tain little hope OF hisrecovery.
/ The remains of Walkup and Irwin
are terribly mangled and are unrec-
ognizable. Walkup's head is mash
ed in, while the body of Irwin is lit
eraly torn to pieces.
! The engine was completely wreck
ed. 1t was of the Baldwin make.
No cause is assigned for the explo-
sion.
There were at least 200 people at
the depot when the train came in

GOLDBUGS WILL RULE.
That is the Sentiment Generally in
wyoming.
Especial 10 The Herald.)


EVANSTON. Wyo. June lion the
eve of the st. Louis convention, your
correspondent has just learned that ]. II.
Rykman, who was delegate to Sheridan,
and should have been the delegate from
the western part of Wyoming. is not go
ing to st. Louis. although he is the alter
nate from this section.
Ryckman is staunch silver man, and
does not care to go to st. Louis to get
mixed up with the goldbug element, which
will rule the day at that convention.
Uinta county politics is now in this
condition: Judge Coon. the astute lawyer
and politician, who has twice held the
bench of the supreme court of the state.
predicts that the gold men and the prin-
ciples they advocate will forever rid ex-
Senator Carey and his goldbug following.
and that Uinta county has done itself
a notable credit in sending John W Gam
mon to the Chicago convention. He is a
gentleman of rising prominence in our
politics and champion of silver, which
will make him a. shining light at Chi
cago, and he will go into the convention
with the colors OF Blackburn of Ken
lucky and Bryan of Nebraska Teller
of Colorado is not a more bitter silverite
than Cannon. Cannon is the man who
first and last made New believe that it
was time for him to- desist from Uinta
county politics and let the people judge
whether Cannon or New approached
nearest to the popular sentiment.

said:
Why. Governor Morton's idea. of leav-
ing me to present his name for the presl-
Dental nomination, even thought l fore

aye and say to the convention that. he
was not and would not be a. candidate for
yice-president.''
That Mr.. Platt has forsaken all hope
in the presidential boom for MIR. Morton
is perfectly apparent. When asked this
afternoon if he had any hopes he said
tersely: MIR. MOrton.s name will be pre-
sented TO the convention There was a
rumor current that the New York dele
CATION would present the name of Cen
eral Benjamin F. Tracey for vice-presi-
dent and that the differentiation peo-
pie would present the name of Cornelius
Bliss and ask for Mr.. Platt's support. To
both of these rumors Mr.. Platt said to-
night: "All buncombe. If Mr.. Morton
will not accept the second place on the
ticket, then New York has no candidate
It was intimated that some of the Ohio
people were not at all averse to Morton

also said very plainly that he could get
no help from Mr.. Hanna
The distinctive portion OF the Cos
sip was a tendency among the support
ers of Mckinley to throw the nonl1-
nation for the presidency to some
man who might be selected by the
opposition. The effect of this turn in
the talk had the effect OF increasing

QUAY AND PLATT.
Formers Attitude in the Convention
Continues the Subject of Much
Speculation.

ST. LOUIS, June Ex-senator Quay's
attitude in the convention continues the
subject of no small degree of specula-
ton When asked whether his name would
be presented as a presidential candidate
the senator replied that the matter had
not been definitely determined, but that
IT. would probably depend upon the wishes
OF the friends Of other candidates than
Mckinley. Mr.. Quay is in a somewhat
embarrassing position. He has Ior some
Tune realized the certainty in his opinion
OF Mckinley's nomination and has ad-
vised with other candidates and acqui-
e5ced In the inevitable.
Previous TO arriving, at this conclusion
he had entered into an agreement with
the friends OF other candidates 10 reIlla -
hold him to his agreement. hence he
finds himself hesitatlng between his own
inclination 10 get out of the Mckinley
movement and a desire 10 comply with
the wishes OF mis- co-wokers. A prominent
member OF the national committee as
serted tonight Mr. Quay was still urging
upon the other candidates the advisabiiity
of allowing the Mckinley nomination to
be made by reclamation, and that, failing
to secure their acQuieScence ne would
probably, when Pennsylvania was reached
in the roll call, retire from the contest
and throw Pennsylvania to the OHIO can
dldate. The friends of other candidates
are still quite determined to continue
their candidates in the race to the finish.
Mr.. Plat, as the representative of Gov
ernor Morton, is especially persistent in
urging this course. His reason for this
is his desire to secure a roll call for the
purpose of putting the New York dele
cation on record. He, however, decided
TO abide by the decision of the national
committee in disposing Of the New YORK
contests and not to make any factious
opposition. Champions of other candi-
dates coincide in the desirability of a roll
call for the purpose of being able to 10
cate their friends.

LONDON, June 15.-The Morning Post.

s.etei corridors no less than in the
retired apartments of the party man
gers ever since they began oS congre-
gate here, at the beginning of the past
week. This question is still claiming
the greater share Of consideration and
will continue to hold It's place IN the
front rank of speculation and dellbera-
ton until II is finally settled by the
convention itself.
Two problems present themselves.
The first rs, how much TO do for silver;
the second how little to do for gold.
Around THESE questions range the spec
ulation and the interest of all.
Three lines of policy will be present
d to the committee on resolutions,
upon meeting the different shades -of
opinion of the delegates These are:
First-To declare in explicit terms for
the gold standard.
Second--To take a positive stand for
the free coinage CT silver at the ratio
of 16 TO INDEPENDENT OF the course OF
all other nations.
Third-To practically declare for
gold and against any further recogni-
ton of silver than the present laws
give, except upon international agree
ment, but without mentioning in terms
the gold standard and with a few
words of encouragement to the friends
of silver.
The contest will be principally be-
tween the advocates of the first and
second propositions, and, as it now
apnears, the outcome will be a COM
promise between these which means,
of course, tflah the platform will be
almost all that the gold men will de-
mdnd- The extreme gold forces will
be led by the New York and MaSSachu-
sets delegations, seconded strongly
by other eastern and Mississippi val
ley delegates.
The advocates of an
EXTREME DECLARATION FOR
SILVER
are confined largely to the delegations
from the intermountain states with
some support from the Pacific Coast
and possibly a few scattering dele
gates from other sections. Their rep
resentation il the committee Will be
larger than in the convention but in
neither sufficient to obtain more than
a respectful hearing. They are ex-
pected to announce that no compromise
whatever will be acceptable to them
and so thus practically eliminate them
selves from the work of preparing the
platform. With this feature of the
silver question removed from the de-
liberataonS of the committee it is not
believed its deliberations will be- great
ly prolonged.
One important question remaining
unsettled is that of the selection of a
presidential candidate. Next to
the financial plank, the filling of this
place on the ticket has engaged the
greatest share Of speculative atten-
ton during the week. but apparently
opinion has not been SO well canvass
ed upon this subject as upon others.
The names of candidates have been
suggested including those of MessrS.
Hobart. OF New Jersey; Governor Nor
ton and General Tracey, of New York;
Governor Buckley and Senator Haw-
ley, of Connecticut; Governor Hast
irgs, of Pennsylvania; Representative
Dingley, of Maine: H. Clay Evans, of
Tennessee and Hon. NJ. H. De Young,
of California

Threatened Revolt.

ST. LOUIS, June 14.-Incidental to
the informal gathering of Massachu-
sets men today was threatened re-
volt against the reelection of Lyman
to the national committee by the three
Mckinley delegates. Lyman is a strong
Reed man and the Mckinley contin-
gent opposes him for this reason,
among others, processing to doubt his
loyalty to Mckinley in the campaign
in the event of the Ohio mans norni-
nation. Insinuations have come from
the Mckinley quarters that if Lyman
be insisted upon the Mckinley men
will override the unit rule in the vote
for presidential candidates and cast
two and possibly three ballots for Nc
Kinley and to this degree substract
from Reeds New England total.

favor if his state will come out for
him. Governor Brown of Rhode Island
is another prominently mentioned.
Hobart Of New Jersey is being aggres-

that may initiate some against him.
