tion to the following effect AS many
of the delegates are absent. we have
made as full a report as possible Many
of the absentees are expected TO be
here when the convention reassembles
at O'Clock. If they are not here,
move that those who are here be per-
mitted TO name men to take the places
of the absentees."
This was adopted and the names of
the delegates present and expected

Tho Committee on Permanent Or
ganization reported in favor OF reten-
tion of the temporary officers as the
permanent officers of the convention.

Mr.. Norton thanked the convention
for the honor conferred on him.
A motion was adopted that four, men
be elected to the Constitutional Con-
vention from Wilmington and six
from the other districts, and that the
latter be apportioned two to each Levy
Court commission district.
Very little interest is manifested in
the convention, there being citizens
present.
Willard Salisbury, Jr., who was also
spoken OF for a place on the ticket,
wrote a letter to Delegate Donahue, of
the Seventh ward, in which he declined
to be considered a candidate
This afternoons session OF the con-
vention promises TO be one OF excite
ment. The ticket which some OF the
leading politicians had slated as VIII
mington's representatives was COM
posed of John Biggs, George Gray,
owen j. Hession and Peter l.. Cooper.
But that ticket, with possibly the ex-
ception of Mr.. Biggs and Mr.. Hession,
will now hardly stand.
A bitter fight is being waged against
Senator Gray. A strong effort Is being
made to have Lewis G. Vandegrift take
his place.
In the Fourth district, J. wilkins
CooOch and John II. Rodney will
doubtless be selected while I'm the
Fifth district those agreed uponin cau-
Gus this morning will be elected.
IL is impossible to tell who will be
the men from the First district. though
George Lodge is one of them who is
most prominently spoken of.

MORE CROOKED WORK.
ELEVENTH WARD CERTIFICATE
HAS BEEN TAMPERED WITH AT
SENATOR PYLE'S EXPENSE.

There will be another week of sus-
pense and bad blood before the Demo-
cratic County Executive Committee
renders decision in the Pyle-Stayton
contest for the state senatorial nomi-
nation. At the meeting yesterday az
ternOon Mr.. Stayton made formal
protest against the committee deciar-
ing State Senator Pyle the nominee on
the ground of fraud in three districts
which went heavily for Pyle.
Senator Pyle was not present IN per
son. but he sent letter in which he
declared that he was fairly nominated
and asking for a copy Of the protest.
There was more evidence OF crooked
work when the certificate of the re-
turns OF the Elevnth ward was pre-.
sented to the committee. Originally II
gave Pyle a big majority, but the com
mittee discovered that Pyle's name
had been erased and Stayton's sub
stituted, thereby giving the latter {
majority.
This was too much for one day, and
according to the belief OF a MAJORITY
of the committee, enough to last for ;
week, for which period the committee
adjourned.
Meanwhile both Pyle and Staytoi
will get their evidence and argumen
in shape for presentation.

LACON, ILL.,, May 1.-The little town of
Washburn, Woodford county, was the scene
of a raid by bank robbers on Wednesday
night and as a result one of the desperadoes
is lying in the county Jail at Metamora
severely shot in the neck and back. The
cracksmen entered the town from the south,
stealing team and carriage from Arthur
Hoover and tying it up on the southwest
outskirts of the town. The private banking
house of Ireland & Son was entered by a
back window and the cracksmen at once be-
gan work to open the vault, but the moment
they got inside the building the burglar
alarm started a gong ringing in the house
of the junior member of the firm Charles
Ireland, and he armed himself Immediately
and started out to raise A posse. He gath
cred dozen men and surrounded the bank,
arriving there in time to hear the first ex-
plosion. The explosion blew cut the tumbler
to the lock only, and while the men were
making ready for another blast the posse
made noise and the three men dashed out
the back door, to be met by volley of
shot and bullets They stood the first crowd
of with a volley from their revolvers, but as
they turned the corner of the bank another
squad fired into them and one robber fell
with nineteen large shot in his neck and
back. The other two men got away, al
though the trail of blood showed that one
of them was wounded. The captured robber
says his name is Bill Wilson. Further than
this he viii not speak.
