Afternoon Session.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Aug. 6.-When
the Missouri democratic state conven-
tion reconvened yesterday afternoon
there were no contests before the
committee on credentials. and the re-
port was adopted without debate.
Just as the credentials committee fin
ished some one called, Senator Vest,
Vest" 1t had been discovered that
the senator was in the building. The
convention would have nothing else,
SO a committee was appointed and es-
corted the venerable senator to the
platform. He was cheered to the echo.
Then came the nomination for gov
ernor w. M. Williams, of Cooper
county, named State Treasurer
Lon V. Stephens. Judge Alex
drew James r. Waddill's name, and
David Ball came to the platform
and withdrew his name. The roll call
was never finished, for Ed Harber, of
Grundy, moved that the remainder of
the roll be dispensed with, and Stephens
be named by acclamation. This went
was escorted to the platform ard in a
brief speech thanked the delegates for
the honor. A recess was then taken
until eight p. m.
When Chairman Peers called the
convention to order at $3.50 o'clock,
Sullinger, of Gentry, chairman of the
committee on resolutions, Immediately
took the stage and read the party's
state platform. 1t was adopted with
out opposition. As Sullinger finished
reading, Benton, of Newton, stopped
for a moment the regular order of
business by nominating Sam B. Cook
as chairman of the state committee.
Mr.. Cook was chosen unanimously
The convention then proceeded to
nominate candidate for lieutenant

presented. John A. Lee, of st. Louis;

which resulted: Lee, 174H; Bolte, |

When the fourth ballot was an

MANY HEAT VICTIMS.

The Death List in New York, Chicago and
st. Louis Reaches an Appalling Figure.
NEW YORK, Aug, 1.-THE numter of
deaths caused by the Leaf in Greater
| New York is 1888, and additional VIC
| Tins are being reported hourlg. The
! prostrations are almost innumerable
and no accurate statement of them can
be made. Ambulances and patrol
| wagons have been running about all
day. the sound of their gong becoming
| a familiar sound. Street car horses
have dropped in their tracks by scores.
Out of door orle has been largely sus-
| pended and many factories are tempo
rarily closed.
THE DEATHS AT CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, Aug. lit began to grow
uncomfortably warm here yesterday
at early dawn, and as the blazing sun
pushed its way over Lake Michigan the
intensity of the heat was increased
{ hour by hour at the rate of geometrical
progression. The city ambulances and
, patrol wagons from the police stations
had been kept on the run all night
long, bearing victims of the heat to
the hospitals. Yesterday morning men
walked through the streets without
coat or vest and painted and sweltered
for want of fresh, cooling air. Pros
trations from heat began to be report
ed as early as eight o'clock. Animals
overcome by the heat lay dead in al
most every ward in town. They were
80 numerous that the garbage men
could not keep the streets clear of
them. The latest reports show that
the total list of victims of heat pros
trations Sunday numbered Is. OF
these % are dead, ten expected to die
and three driven insane by the heat.
OF the three driven insane by the heat,
one ended his existence with poison
and another attempted to slash his
throat with ts razor.
EIeHTY-FIvE DEATHS AT ST. LOUIS.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 1.-THE deaths in'this
city due directly to heat since August 1,
numbered s5. Saturday last was the
worst day yet, 23 deaths from that
cause having occurred. A singular
fact is noted that fully four-fifths of
these deaths have been adults, but
very few of them women. Most of the
heat victims have been among the Ia
boring classes and at least two-thirds
of the fatalities have been among those
addicted to drink.
SIXTEEN DEATHS AT owENsBoRo.
