contesting, first stated their case. Mr..
Southworth said that he did not contest
the regularity of the, convention which
named Mr.. Patterson and the others who
hold regular credentials. He claimed,
however, that their conYention was pop
ulist in name only, and was really packed
by democrats and the delegates sent here
came. only for the purpose Of forcing Mr..
Bryan, the nominee of the democratic par
ty, upon a populist convention.
Mr.. Hackstaff followed IN a bitter de-
nunciation of the Patterson men, calling
them political renegades and outcasts.
Thomas Patterson replied for the regu-
lars. He defended the convention which
named the forty-hYe delegates. whose
seats are contestedss g He convinced tho
committee of the regularity of his appoint
ment, and of the fact that he was now a
populist and not a democrat.

clared that If Mr.. Patterson was not a

test and seated both factions, giving each
half a vote. The regulars were accused
of being anarchists and socialists, while
the contestants were declared to more
truly represent the peoples party. The
fight was made on sthe- socialist lines. and
after parties interested, IN .theu contest
withdrew, the members Of the committee
who favored the ieontestants, asked for
the unseating of the Taylor people on
this ground Nearly every member OF the
committee spoke on the subject, and the
majority declared that socialism is no bar

humor.
The band continued to play and It was

real explanation of the trouble was that
whoever was in charge Of the arrange

the evening from the electric light COM
pany until late this evening when Il was
too late to turn on the current without
great risk. as preliminary tests Of the cir
cults were necessary. Some suggestions
of adjournment was made, but they met
with no favor, the crowd rather enjoying
the darkness and the fun.
The band kept up its music-Dixie and
other popular airs, and the crowd shouted
and varied the shouting with cheers and
jocular remarks. The condition Of things
went on without a particle ~ light, save
from the few candles point stuck on the
reporters table and one on the chairman's

patience Of the manager was exhausted

charge OF desertion.
When asked II President Cleveland will

From the remarks made by Mr. Eckles,
Il Is evident that he does not expect the
third ticket TO win, nor does he admit that
IL will help TO secure the election Of a

the best he can expect to accomplish IS

Narrow Escape From n Fatal Accia
dent Mt Charleston.

Charleston, s. c., July 22.-There was
collision here this morning between the
Island ferry steamer Pocosin and the
United States government tug boat Ar
gonauta, but no serious damage was done.
The Pocosin had Just left the island for
her early morning nun to the city. Tho
steamer was crowded with people coming
over 60 their days work. AS she swung
into the cove channel the Araonauta was
coming in also, under a full head OF steam.
The Pocosin had the right-of-way. and tho
channel Is very narrow at that point The
Argonauta swung out to one SIDE but In
a few seconds steered once more for the
center Of the channel. The course brought
the two boats together with a crash, but
greatly to the surprise OF every one little
or no damage was done to either vessel.
The passengers on the Pocosin we're badly
shaken up and equally badly frightened.
Both boats were able 10 continue on the

BISHOP CURTIS RESIGNS.
He Was Formerly n Rector i'm the
EpiscOpnIian Faith.

Wilmington. Del, July 22.-Right Rev
Alfred E. Curtis, D. D.. bishop OF the
Catholic diocese of Wilmington, has for
warded his resignation TO Rome. This step
was taken in accordance with hrs convic-
ton that the bishop should retire when
he shall reach a certain age. Bishop Cur
tbs, was formerly an Episcopalian divine
of this diocese, where he was ordained IN
1853 In 1870 he severed his connection with
the Episcopalian church, and embraced
the Catholic faith. Four years later he
was ordained to the priesthood, and after
twelve years Of earnest work in Balti-
more cathedral, was consecrated bishop
of the Wilmington diocese, in 1886. 1t is
probable that the Pope will appoint him
fltular bishop of some italian see.
