Meeting.
SINGING AND sPEECH.MAKING.
Most of the Local Candidates Were
Quickly Nominated by Ac.
clamation.

| TOPEKA, KANs., Aug. 1.-THE Repub-
lican State Convention opened here to-day
| in Methodist camp-meeting style, 10000
delegates and visitors uniting in singing
the new version of the popular hymn,
Throw Out the Life Line" led by Rev.
John a. Bright of Topeka. Sheldon was
elected chairman, which foreshadows the
| denomination of Governor Morrill, on the
first ballot.
While the convention was called to order
at o'clock, it was before it proceeded to
business, the committee not being ready
to report until then. The intervening
time was occupied with speech making,
among those who addressed the conven-
tion being ex-senator ingalls,. The reso-
lutions submitted and adopted indorsed
Mckinley and Hobart and the National
platform and disposed of the money ques-
tion in the following additional clause:
Republicans of Kansas believe in
sound money. We favor the use of silver
and paper in the largest measure consis-
tent with the maintenance of the equal
debt paying and purchasing power of all
our money.
"We are opposed to the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to
by this country alone, because it means
silver monometallism, debased currency
and the destruction of our National
credit
The nomination of candidate for Chief
Justice was next in order and four names
were presented to the convention. The
first ballot resulted as follows: Dave Mar
tin (the incumbent) 2SS, Nelson Case 138,
c. T. Graves 140%, 7. F. Carver 29715. A
recess was then taken until 8 O'Clock.
When the convention reassemb bled Gar
yer was nominated.
All of the opposing candidates to Gov
ernor e. N. Morrill, withdrew from the
contest and he was nominated by acclama-
ton.
e. n. Richter of Council Grove was
nominated for Lieutenant Governor. The
ticket was completed by renominating by
acclamation w. G. Edwards for Secretary
of State, F. b. Dawes for Attorney-Gen-
eral, Otis Latherton for Treasurer, Ed
mund Stanley for State Superintendent,
Geol ge G.. Cole for State Auditor and r W.

TheosophicGL Matters.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. IA visit
was paid to the theosophical headquarters
at "a Madison street, for information con-
cerning box found in the room occupied
by A. H. Pyle of San Francisco, secretary
of the National Committee of the Silver
party, before his death by drowning in the
Potomac River some time last week.
Burcham Harding, lecturer of the Theo-
sophical Society and representing E. T.
Hargrove, president, had this to say:
Il have no doubt that the box YOU

which are issued by our society to its mem
oers, as Mr.. Pyle was one of our mem

sit Is evident to my mind that he in
tended the box to be delivered to the
president of the society, for at the time
the direction was written Mr.. Judge was
our president. Mr.. Pyle evidently ne

election of Mr. Hargrove recently.

NORTHERN PACIFIC RATES.
The Road Disre0ards ths 1rdnsconti-
mental agreement.

CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. 11.-Chairman
Caldwell has made ruling requiring the
Northern Pacific to rescind the action it
has taken in relation to the basis of rates
from all points south of Portland, Or, up
TO Ashland, inclusive, to Portland and the
Missouri River and beyond via Portland.
Under this ruling the Northern Pacific is
practically in contempt Of the transconti-
mental agreement, to which it is party.
The Northern Pacific some time ago
asked for authority to meet Southern Pa
cific rates. The chairman asked for de-
tails, which the Northern Pacific neglected
to give, and at the end of five davs put
the rates in effect. This action was OBJ
jected to by Chairman Caldwell, he hold
ing that the Southern Pacific rates are
agreed rates and not to be considered as
competitive rates. Meantime the North
ern Pacific continues to use the ne wrates,
regardless of the chairman's ruling.

HOLOCAUST At
NEW YORK CITY.
Many Lives Sacrificed in
Burning Electrical
Works.
SCENES OF WILD DISMAY
Faces Are Seen at Nearly Every
Window During the Awful
Confagration.
BODIES LIE ON FIRE ESCAPES.
Frantic Cries for Help Are Forever
Smothered by the Heat
and Smoke.
BODIES LIE ON FIRE ESCAPES.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. n.-There
was fatal fire this afternoon in the build
ings at 465, 467 and 469 Greenwich street,
occupied by the A. U. Warren Electric
Repair Works and number OF smaller
firms. In the excitement attending the
outbreak it was at first estimated that at
least thirty lives were lost. Some of those
reported lost were afterward accounted
for. The accurate number of victims
will not be known until the ruins are
searched. 1t is believed that the death
list will prove to be fifteen or seventeen.
While the firemen were fighting the
flames the forms of two of the victims
could be plainly seen on the fire escapes.
Five men and boys were injured while es-
Gaping from the burning building. They
were taken to the Hudson-street Hospital,
mangled and burned.
What caused the fire is not known. but
it is believed to have been started by an
explosion. 1t is known that an explosion
occurred q few minutes before, and the fire
spread like flash, beginning at No. 465
and cutting off the escape of many. The
firemen who first reached the scene of the
conhagration say they saw a number of
men at the windows appealing for help,
but before any attempt at rescue could be
made they fell back, exhausted by the
heat and smoke, and all are supposed to
have perished from the flames.
Altogether there were about thirty two
men employed by the Warren Company.
There were twelve on the sixth or top floor,
eleven on the fifth, four on the fourth and
a couple in the office on the ground floor.
The list of killed and injured cannot be
compiled at this time. 1t will be several
hours before the ruins are cooled suffi-
GENTLY to allow the firemen to enter.
From stories told by those who claimed to
have been near when the first alarm was
given faces were seen at nearly every
window. That at least four are dead in
the ruins there can be no doubt, for their
charred bodies lie exposed to view on the
fire escapes of the third and fifth stories.
Two others, one girl, were seen to fall
back in the flames overcome by the smoke
before the fire touched them.

JUMPS A FlFTY-F00T TRESTLE.
FnqhtfuI Accident to Party of Section
Men While Riding Hahdcar on
q Kentucky Railroad

WINCHESTER, KY, Aug. IA fright
full accident occurred near hero to-day, by
which two men were instantly killed,
another hurt so badly that he died a few
hours later and two others so severely in
iured that small hope of their recovery
is entertained.
The accident happened on the Lexington
and Eastern railroad. Early this morning
handcar left here in charge of Foreman
]. Quinlan. Accompanying him were
four section hands. Everything went
along smoothly until Walker creek trestle
was reached. At this point there is a
slight down grade, and the car went ahead
with great velocity. Quinlan remon-
strated with the men who were running
the car and tried to get them to check the
speed.
His remonstrance, however, was too
late, and just as the car reached the trestle
the speed was so great that it jumped the
track and dropped on the rocks, fifty feet
below.
Edward Sparks and Marion Chattman
were instantly killed.
John chatham was terribly mangled
and lived but few hours.
Foreman Quinlan and his son received
severe Injuries, and it is very doubtful If
they will recover.
News of the accident reached town a
few hours after it occurred, and aid was
dispatched to the scene az quickly as
possible
