mentary resolutions were made by Gen
Blair and others, after which the reso-
lutions were UNANIMOUSLY adopted. The
roll of the new committee was then called
and notice given of an immediate meet
ing, whereupon the old adjourned sine
die.
There was an interval of great hand
shaking. EX-Chairman Harrity an
nounced it had been suggested that he
should call the new committee to order
which he did and said he was ready TO
entertain motion as to the selection
of the temporary chairman. Senator
Pascoe of Florida nominated Mr.. Har-
rity, and there being several seconds,
Mr.. Pascoe put the motion and it was
carried. Shccrin of Indiana, who was
former secretary of the committee. al
though not Il member of the new one
was elected temporary secretary. 1t was
then decided to 90 into executive ses-
sion, excluding all except those who were
members of the notification committee.
Chairman White of that committee
made the suggestion that as Mr.. Bryan,
the nominee of the convention, was pres
ent, it would be agreeable to make ar
: rangements for the notification. The
first question considered was as to time
and place. This opened up with wide
o range of discussion as to the manner of
conducting the campaign. general scnti-
ment being that it should be an aggrcS-
sive contest and war should be carried
into New York and New England from
rhe outset. Mr.. Bryan spoke for fifteen
minutes. 1t was in no sense an orato-
rical effort but n calm review of the stu
alton and suggestive of the ways and
means for effective work.
Mr.. Bryan approved the suggestion
which had been made that the exercises

son Square garden, New York. in about
three weeks. This was the place where
the exercises were held four years ago, |
when the committee notified Mr.. Clevc- |
land of his nomination and heard his |
address of acceptance. In view of the |
fact that candidates were so widely sep |
arated. Sewel living in Maine and Bryan |
in Nebraska New York seemed to offer |
n convenient meeting place, both for can
didates and the many members of the |
notification committee. Mr.. Scwell also |
spoke briefly. expressing his readiness to |
enter into campaign work whenever the |
committee desired it should begin.
Governor Stone of Missouri, Senator
Pascoe of Florida, Chairman Harrity |
and others urged hardy and vigorous |
opening of the campaign and sentiment |
was general that the eastern states
should receive full attention. AS one of |
the speakers expressed it: "The fight |
should be carried into the heart of At
RIGA" Several of the speakers expressed |
the hope that New York audiences might |
have an early opportunity of hearing
Mr.. Bryan and judging of his abilities.
AS to the choice of national chairman,
Mr.. Bryan waived the usual preroga-
tive of Il candidate to name the head of |
the committee and asked the committee
to handle these affairs entirely as they
saw fit. Recess was taken until .

The second large wharf fire here in the
last ten days occurred today, and tonight
| S150.000 worth of property is in ashes
The property destroyed was warehouse
owned by the Morgan Steamship COM
pany, valued at $4,000 and insured for
$4,000 and its contents, 100000 yards
of jute bagging, valued at $133,500, fully
insured. The bagging was consigned to
+. Cannon Il Co. and was owned by the
Ludlow Manufacturing company of Bos-
ton, Mass. The fire started at o'clock
this afternoon and while under control,
will burn all night
Thousands of people are visiting the
burning mass.
That this fire. as well as the previous
wharf fire, was incendiary there seems
to be no doubt. One of the customs in
spectors first saw the fire today from u
schooner, when the blaze could have
been eXtinguished with a felt hat. A
colored fisherman on the wharf was sent
to turn in an alarm. BY the time the
department was out the fire was under
full Roadway in three places and police
sergeant reports finding kerosene and
and matches. When the negro who
went to sound the alarm returned he re-
ported that there were three men in the
shed standing near bale of jute, upon
which the fire was burning. They or
dered him to get out and he did. He
could have extinguished the fire. he says.
The insurance on the bagging is with
the following companies:

ANOTHER QUIET WEDDING.
Miss, Harriet rlai Sibley Becomes
Mrs, E. G. Ward.

A short time ago Mrs. ]. A. Willard
received a letter from her niece, Har-
riet Mae, announcing that she had
been united in marriage with Mr.. E..
G. Ward, of Armour,S. D., and asking
that her belongings be forwarded to
her. This was the first information
received of the happy event, which
happened some three weeks ago, and it
was a surprise to the few who were
appraised OF the fact, the more so as
it was known that a Philadelphia
gentleman in easy circumstances had
expected to make Miss SibleY his
bride during the present happy month
of June, when all the world is happy,
and birds and flowers vie with each
other in adding to the joyousness of
man. Mrs. Ward wrote that she
would shortly announce her wedding
in the Mankato papers, and therefore
the information was not given much
publicity.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ward have settled
down at Armour, where Mr.. w. is en-
gagged in the real estate business.
He has been the advance agent
of his bride, who gave a
number of recitals at different
places during the winter He is well
spoken of by those who know him.
The bride is too well and favorably
