Accident Near Pittsfie Id.

Dennis Dolan and Phillip Fogarty, two young men of Pittstield, Mass, were killed on the Consolidated road at Morewood's crossing, near Pittsfeld, on Saturday. The men were working on a gravel train made up of four flat cars Dolan and Fogarty were seated on the side of one of the cars. A flying switch was being made and the engine had passed the switch all right, but the switchman did not succeed in throwing the switch completely, after the pass ing of the engine, so that the trucks of the first car struck the edge of the rails at the switch joint and derailed the cars. The men were hurled through the air and struck on their heads and killed instantly. One other man was slightly injured and the cars were wrecked. The switchman was not blamed, as the switch has worked bad ly for some time.
 The young men were very popular Dolan was married last October and leaves young widow. Fogarty leaves an aged mother. He was soon to have been married

CLEVELAND, o., Sept. There was
another demonstration paid to the Bry-
an party when they left this city for
Columbus this morning. About the
hotel and depot large crowds had gath
eredin order to catch a parting glimpse
of the nominee. The Columbus recep-
ton committee arrived in this city to-
day and took charge of the party. A
special car had been provided and it
was decorated inside and out with bunt-
ing, while on each side of the car was a
great banner bearing the inscription:
"W. J. Bryan, our net president"
The train was delayed here an hour,
mainly on account of the crowd which
had gathered around the car and In
sisted on shaking hands with Mr.. Bryan.
About two hundred laborers employed
to grasp the hand of the nominee and
assure him of their support. AS Mr..
Bryan stood on the rear platform of the
train the crowd cheered him time and
time again. One of the men called, "They
can drive a horse to water, but they can
not make him drink" and the others
cheered and indorsed the statement.
Inside the special car was the recep-
ton committee from Columbus. The
James Ross double quartette came from
! Columbus and during the trip sang cam
paign songs. At every village through
which the train passed en- route to Co

At a caucus the Oregon delegation

Resolved. that It Is the sense of this

delegates thereto, to provide for the
time and place for holding thereof, and
generally to perform such duties as de-
volve upon the committee of political
parties. Complete organizatio through
out the state is earnestly requested. We
are in favor of the use of gold and silver
as money, but we insist upon the main-
tenance Of our present gold standard,
and that silver should only be used so
far as it may consistently be with the
firm maintenance of such gold stand

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1.-The

Minnie Hudelson declares exists between
herself and the Rev. Benjamin F. Hud-
delson, formerly pastor of the Golden
Gate Baptist church of Oakland, and at
present state president of the American
Protective association.
They were married, 1t is alleged, in

Hudelson, as the woman styles herself,

CANDIDATES NAMED
The Wisconsin Candidate Seems to Have tn
Call

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. L.
There has been a distinct increase in
the Bragg sentiment during the day.
The Wisconsin delegation held a meet
ing over which General Bragg presided,
and unanimously passed a motion in
structing Burr w. Jones of that state
to present General Bragg's name when
the roll Of states is called for the nom-
ination of candidates. General Bragg
himself is very complacent over the
matter, and sits in his room receiving
all visitors who may come and talk,
not of himself or his candidacy, but
about the gold Democratic movement
and this convention. Several delega-
tions have arrived whose members say
they would be satisfied with the Wis
consin candidate, and have come here
to confer with other delegations and
determine who is the best man for the
nomination.
Some of these delegations have pre-
ferred Senator Villas, but it Is almost
certain that the senator will not be con-
sdered, especially as long as there is
any possibility of nominating General
Bragg. The Wisconsin delegates have
received assurances from some Of the
southern states that General Bragg will
have many delegates from that section.
MORTON DECLINES "
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 1.--Secretary
Morton wires the Nebraska delegation
saying that his name must not be pre-
sented to the convention. and that he
would not accept if nominated. Mem
bers of the delegation decline to make
public at present the reason, but it is
understood that the position of the Sec
retary will be made plain to the conven-
tion by the reading of one Of the letters.

minutes.
When the bishop was able to proceed
he said that. he cared little which Eng
lish party helped Ireland. but the Irish
should be independent Of and in oppo-
sition to every party refusing them
home rule.
Discipline and fidelity, the bishop also
remarked, were absolutely needed, ad-
ding that without these qualities among
his followers, thelate Charles Stewart
Parnell could have done nothing. 1t
was useless, he continued, to talk
strongly unless they stood united behind
their works, adding: I'VE must en-
compass Irish liberty and no power on
earth can Withstand the justice thereof"
His statereent called for another tre-
mendous burst of cheers which lasted
about ten minutes. LEVER were read
from Archbishop Walsh and DR.. Thos

tsatement of the latter, that the man
who is unwilling to accept an invitation
to the peace convention is no true Irish
man." was wildly applauded.
BY this time every inch of the hall
was occupied and it was estimated that
about 5000 people were present.
The first resolution in favor of unity
was supported by Mr.. Ryan of Toronto,
in an eloquent speech, during which he
declared that the Canadians were abso-
lutely independent and were only at the
convention for "dai1ing old Ireland's
welfare" which, he added, would be
most surely promoted by obedience to
the majority rule.
After Justin Mccarthy and others had
supported the motion. the Rev. Dennis
O'Callahan of Boston, Mass, reused en-
thusiasm of the assemblage by stating
that he was the bearer to the convention
of the blessing of Archbishop Williams
and demanded that the delegates unite
in universal rally around the Irish
flag.
