All Ends Serene.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Sept. 2.-The
Democratic, Populist and Silver party
state conventions in session here during
the day concluded their afternoon ses-
sions by adopting resolutions suibstan-
tally identical in the endorsement of
free silver and William J. Bryan, in
the strongest words the endorsement
could be put. Each convention also ap-
pointed conference committees to conn
plete fusion ticket. During the early
evening the conference committees had
series of meetings, which finally re-
suited in an agreement upon the state
ticket, ON which the PopuliStS and Sill
yer men were given lieutenant-gov
nor, secretary of state and insurance
COZ missioner. The Democrats got The
governor, treasurer, antorney-geneca
railroad commissioner, and Superin-
tendent of schools. On the electoral
ticket the Populsts are to be given two
and the Democrats eight.
1t was eight o'clock tonight when the
Democratic state convention was
called to order. w. W. Silverthorn was
nominated for governor. Mr.. Silver
thorn and others made strong speeches
deoouncing the detection of Villas,
Bragg, Usher and other well-known
sound money Democrats.
An the conclusion of the speeches, no
word having been received from the
Populist convention, the Democrats adj
journed until l o'clock tomorrow.
The Populist evening convention was
stormy a fight having been precipitated
over the report OF the conference COM
mittee. The fusion sentiment was too
strong for the Populists, however, and
it soon appeared that fusion would
carry.
The Populists got into a terrible
wTang3e when The nominations &C
corded them came up. W. C. Silver
thorn was nominated for governor
without trouble, but a half dozen men
wanted to be secretary of state. c. NJ.
Butt was finally nominated. Fred Thai,
OF Milwaukee, was nominated for in
surance commissioner L. G. Wood
ward, of Columbia A WoTmslie, of
Racine, and Hermaine Scherzinger of
Fond du Lac, were nominated for
presidential electors.
The convention then adjourned until
10 O'clock this morning.
The Silver party convention met at
o'clock and received the report of the
conference committee, allowing them
one place on the state tfcket-6hat of
lieutenant governor. This seemed to sat
isfy them and they nominated RubIee A.
Cole, who has been active in the silver
cause, on the first ballot. The conven-
ton then adjourned until 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning.

CoRBETT AND FITZsIMnONS.
The Latter VIII Challenge Jim For
$4,000.

The Latter VIII Challenge Jim For
$4,000.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-The following
appears in the sporting column of the
Recorder this morning:
Bob Fftzsinrnons is going to formally
challenge Jim Corbeht.
AT least that is what I ann told, and
as lit comes from pretty good authority
think some reliance can be placed on
He is going to challenge Corbett for
so, 600 a. side and the challenge will
be issued and the money up, possibly
before the sun rises next Sunday morn
ing.
A very clever scheme underlies all
this, and the one who has manipulated
1t for Fitzsfmrnons should get full cred
1T for it. Before making any extended
comments I will wait until Fftz's money
goes up.
Corbett apparently did not like the
caustic remarks of Dan Lynch, Tom
ShaGkey's manager, because of his non
appearance at the last two meetings at
the Police Gazette office. He telegraph
ed as follows from Asbury Park last
night:
Il did not attend tine several meet
ings at the Police Gazette office with
Mr.. Lynch, Tom Sharkey's manager,
because there was absolutely no reason
for a meeting and Mr.. Snarkey and
Mr.. Lynch knew it.
But 1 Will attend the meeting to-
morrow at 2:30 p. m. sharp and have
those gentlemen show me why there
should be a meeting and stop any
more of this talk"
1t is fact THAI Manager Lynch knew
THAT Corbett wOaI1d not be on hand
at the last two meetings. The night
of the second meeting, when Corbeft
failed to appear Lynch met Corbett in
private. To Lynch Corbett presented
am offer which he had received for his
fight with Sllarkey, and which was SO
much better chan the National clubs
offer of $40, 900 that Lynch's eyes bulg
ed out in arnazement.
Lynch had no flesltancy in saying that
If the offer WAS bona fide and the par
ties responsible, he would accept. He
wanted time to investigate. Lynch
knew CoTFbeGtt would not attend any
meeting ON Monday, as there was really
no necessity for it.

FRIGHTENED AWAY BY DREAM
A few days ago, Mrs. R. Dunlap, was
taken to St. Peters hospital to undergo
an operation for abscess, and two lead
ing Esculapians were engaged to do the
surgical work. As usual in such mat
tiers, the doctors diagnosed the case
and then set time for use of the
knife, and this formality seems to have
unstrung the nerves OF the timid pa
tient, for she dreamed three nights in
succession before the time arrived for
the operation that the doctors had en-.
tered her room with grave formality
carrying in place of the usual cases Of
instruments small collins in either
hand. This she considered an omen
of death to her, aud she watched an
opportunity and made her escape from
the hospital, ill as she was, and has
not yet been found.

in Tacoma harbor. 1t was genuine
fur seal, and Mr.. Allger sold its skin
to furrier for $3.50. A number Of
them are now known to be in the
harbor. Two Indians who were in a
canoe, sighted q large one off the
Northern Pacific docks Monday morn
ing, and chased it for some time, en-
deavoring to spear it. Mr.. Allger is
inclined to believe that these seals
are what several persons have
seen and mistaken for sea otter.
There is no doubt now that the fire
at Oakesdale, of last Tuesday, was of
incendiary origin. A lady heard a
noise in the yard of a vacant house,
and stepped out and saw man run
ming down the road, and Immediately
aiterward the fire broke through the
windows OF the house. There is no
clew to the guilty parties. In 1893
Oakesdale suffered terribly from in
cendiary fires. not less than score
occurring during that year. 1t is
feared that the same record may be
repeated. The people are terribly in
earnest; and, should the frebugs be
captured, they will never come to
trial.
