Mr.. Goodwin then said that during the

cases against him and plead guilty. ask

Nelson then retracted his plea ana
County Attorney Heselton then moved
for sentence on Kelley. Kelley, he said
mad without promise of immunity from
punishment. made clean confession of
the raids in which he and Nelson had
participated and given testimony which
mad materially assisted the cause of JUS

severe sentence.
Officer Viles and several citizens of
Clinton then testified to the former good
character of Kelley. who is about p
ears of age, and that the people there
believed he had been more of tool for
Nelson than a principal in their raids.
Mr.. McCarty, counsel for Kelley APP

THAT GOLD DEMoNST RATION.
Was it an Effort TO Stampede the Con-
sention Fer Hill.

Chicago, July s.-The prolonged de-
monstration which took place in the
Democratic convention tonight, begin
ming with the announcement of New
York's vote on the Michigan contest,
was construed by the silver men as
prearranged. Some of them regarded
it as an effort to stampede the con-
vention and nominate Senator Hill.
They jumped to the conclusion that the
hall had been packed, for many
schemes. were hurriedly discussed,
looking to the prevention of any future
demonstration or the same character.
Several Of the silver delegates mounted
on the platform during the first period
Of tke demonstration and remontrated
with Senator Daniel, who was presid-
ing over the mildness of his manner.
Gestures and speeches were as unavail-
ing as would be a fog-horn in a cam
nonade and pounding with the gayel
counted no more In production results.
With the growing storm the silver
leaders became very much incensed.
Acting on the spur OF momentary i'm
pulse, Gov Stone, of Missouri. circu-
lated a resolution directing the SER
geant-atarms to clear the galleries
completely. Many of the silver dele
gates assured him of their support
and it looked for a while as if this
heroic remedy would be resorted to.
Different counsels prevailed, however.
The Governor first consented to a
modification suggested by ex-senator
Martin, of Kansas, providing for clos
ing the hall to visitors at all future
sessions. Later, the silver men became
more reconciled to the state of affairs
and with the first flush Of surprise and
indignation at the manifestation their
ill-feeling passed off it was decided to
do nothing for the present looking to
the suppression of such demonstra-
tions.
The new spirit was manifested by a
remark made by Senator Jones. II
suppose he said, that we can sit in
our seats and take it easy as long as
they can YELL" The first manifesto
ton made upon New Yorl's vote was
generally accepted as a personal trib-
ute TO Senator Hill. He sat quietly in
his seat while the cheering proceeded
and appeared anxious to attract as lit
tie attention as possible. He was
sought out, however, by many friends
and personal admirers and congratu-
lated upon the demonstration. When
it was suggested to him that it might
make an effort to secure his nomina-
ton, he closed his lips tightly and de-
clined to make reply.

THE DEBATE ON THE PLATFORM.
Hill viii Make the Principal Speech in
Behalf the Gold Men.

Chicago, July 8.-There will not be
such freedom of debate on the report
of the committee on resolutions which
will be first order of business to-mor-
row, as there was on the report on
credentials Tonight. 1T has been ar
ranged to allow an hour and twenty
minutes to each side for the discussion
of the resolution, after which vote
will be insisted upon. Senator Tillman
is to consume fifty minutes of the time
for THE majority report. He will be
followed by Bryan, Jones, and one
other silver man. Senator Hill win
make the principal speech on behalf
of the minority.
Villas, Gray and Russell will be the
other minority speakers. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Tillman will make a
characteristic speech. He is contem-
plating moving as an amendment to
the platform, the South Carolina plank,
denouncing the Cleveland administra-
ton, but he has been almost persuaded
to desist from this purpose.
1t is intended to proceed with the
nomination speeches as soon as the
plank is adopted.

TAKEN SUDDENLY Ill.
Chief of Police Heart Taken Ill Return
ing to His Office.

Last night about s o'clock as Mr..
Charles ID. Heart, chief of police, was
returning to his Office from dinner, he
felt an attack of indigestion and went
TO W. I'll. Kings durg store to get some
thing as a relief. When in the store
the attack became more violent go
ing, it is said, to the heart. Mr..
Heart fell back and began to struggle
for life, his breathing becoming very
heavy and his face turning exceed
ingIv pale. DIR. Sexton was the first
physician to render assistance, but
was soon joined by DIR. Hubert Roy
ster, DR.. Harvey Upchurch and DIR. z.
E. Hines, Mr.. Hearts physician.
Morphine and other drugs were in
iected into his arm and he was soon
recovered enough to be taken home,
where, within an hour, he was entirely
out of danger and resting nicely.
The attack is said to have been
brought on by violent exertion after
a hearty dinner. Many inquiries were
made during the night as to the con-
dition of MIR. Heart, and every one
was glad to know that his condition
was SO much improved.
1t is expected that he will be able
to be at his office this morning.

Havana, July ,s.-The General John

ferent aspect. La Lucia to-day pub
fishes a statement to the effect that
Gen. Johnsons remarks on the action
OF Senior Ampudia, in publishing ms
challenge in La Lucia, teach a lesson
to the ex-captain in the Spanish army
when he sees that letters Of that court
are not to be left in hotel offices, but
are to be sent through respectable
parties, adding:
~ very elementary matter, which,
it seems, was not known to that gen
tleman, a retired captain and retired
from the service quite young"
This statement of La Lucia is look
ed upon here as being equivalent as
provoking a challenge from Ampudia.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee is maintaining a
very reserved attitude in the matter.

ROANOKE RIVER RISING.
A Destructive Freshet Feared in the
Lowlands.

Weldon, N. c., July 8.-(Special)-
Rev. T. j. Edmundson, of Baltimore,
is conducting a series of meetings at
the Baptist church here this week.
The congregations are good notwith-
standing the dreadful weather..
Rev. Mr.. Kendrick, who recently ac-
cepted the call extended him by the
congregation of the Baptist church
here, has arrived and preached his
first sermons here Sunday. He is a
young man and this is the first
church he has had pastoral charge Of.
1t has rained steadily here since
Sunday, and Roanoke river is rising
rapidly. A freshet is feared. Great
damage would be done should the riv-
err get out in the low lands.
The crops at the State farm at Gale
donia are the finest ever seen. There
are 1900 acres in corn, 1000 acres OF
cotton and besides large number OF
acres in other crops. One field of corn
is seven miles long and of uniform
height.

THE GOLD MEN WILL BOLT.

and delegate Finley, of Ohio, it's chair
man, made his way to the stage and
read the list of permanent officers Sc
ledted. which was headed by Senator
White, of California, as chairman;
Thos. j. Hogan, of Ohio, secretary.
Mr.. Mcknight one of the silver men
of Michigan, protested against the Ma
sional committeeman, Mr.. Stevenson,
who had beenvselected by the delegation
while lit was still gold in complexion,
and asked that all selections by the
delegation be withdrawn. Nebraska
also protested against the selections OF
the unseated delegation. The selee-
tions of the new Nebraska delegation
were substituted, and the Michigan Sc
lections were withdrawn. Mr.. Steven
son, on the latter motion, attempted to
secure roll-call, but could find no
delegation Ito second his demand.
Mr.. Finley, Senator Vest, of Missouri.
and Judge Mcconnell, of Illinois, were
appointed a committee to escort Sena-
tor White to the platform. The appear
ance of the committee on the platform
with their charge was the signal for a
most cordial reception. Temporary
Chairman Daniel, in yielding the gavel
to the California Senator, made most
graceful speech, thanking the conyen-
tion for its courtesy.
The contrast between the two lead
ers was most marked. The Senator
from the Old Dominion, his features
as clear-cut as the head on cameo,
dressed in the conventional garb OF
black, was notwithstanding statesman.
Senator White, on the other hand, had
about him that ruggedness Of form,
face and speech which characterizes
the aggressive spirit of the West. His
face, a resolute one, with his full beard
streai1ed with gray; he looked more Like
a soldier than a statesman, and he
would command instant attention in
any body. Mr.. White presided over the
ST. Louis convention in 1888, and made
en- ideal officer. His speech tonight
was brief.
Then came the inevitable gayel pre-
semtation. lit was made by W. A. Clark,
of Montana. 1t was handsome silver
mallet, given in the name of the great
est mining State in the Union, Mr..

tors poured out.
