LUDWIG'S LICENSE VOID.
Judge McCray's Ruling in a Case with
Complications.

Judge McCray yesterday fined Ernest
Ludwig $40 for selling liquor without
license, thereby holding that the license
granted Ludwig is void. Ludwig has sa-
loon at Oaklandon. When he wanted re-
newal Of his license there was a remon-
stance presented to the County Commits
sioners. but afterward number Of the
signerS withdrew their names, the Circuit
Court holding that they had right to do
so. The commissioners then granted the
license, that being the only thing left for
them, because the remonStrance then did
not contain enough names to defeat the
license. Later the Supreme Court held that
when a remonStrance had been presented
no names could be withdrawn. reversing
the decision of the Circuit Court. Judge
McCray now holds, in accordance with the
decision of the Supreme Court, that as the
names were illegally withdrawn the remon-
STRANGE was sufficient and the license is

Lost Both Arms in the ransIe.

Fred l.. Kinnaman yesterday filed a suit
against Daniel w. Marmon, owner of the
Noblesville Milling Company for SAC, 900
damages. March 26, 1896, Kinnaman was
employed in the mill and was directed by
the foreman to operate a machine called
car puller." This is machine used in
pulling cars from place to place on the
mills sidetrack. 1t consists of a drum
geared to the mill machinery and a long
rope. The rope is attached to the car to
be moved and winds around the drum
when the machinery is set in motion. but
only four or five coils OF the rope are
around the drum at one time, the surplus
being removed as rapidly the drum re-
wolves. kinneman was inst ucted to ham
die this rope He alleges that he knew
nothing about machinery and was entirely
ignorant of the operations of the car
puiler. In doing as he was directed By
the foreman Kinneman's left arm became
entangied in the rope that was winding
around the drum. In his efforts to extri-

Wilson and johnson Released.

Judge McCray yesterday released En-
NETT Wilson and William Johnson on their
personal bonds of $1,000 each. These two
men have been in Jail for a long time
awaiting trial. The charges against them
were old. Wilson had served time for a
crime committed at the time from which
the present charge dates, and said he I'M
derstood that his conviction and sentence
on one charge was all the punishment
he, was to receive, it being understood that
the other Indictment against him was to be
nollied. Johnson claims that the police
have brought UP this old indictment be-
cause of their failure to convict him for
minor offense. Both men claim to have
lived honest lives during the last few
years, and say they have been prosecuted
by the police Judge McCray said he had
not ordered the arrest of the men the
old warrants and Prosecutor Wiltsie said
he knew nothing of the case until a de-
mand was made that they be tried.

The night session furnished all the
preliminary incidents of the most dra-
matte act of the convention. It was by
long odds the most spectacular, for as
the hands Of the clock were creeping
on toward the appointed hour Of eight
and the preSident-making delegates be-
gan to fill the great banks Of seats, the
largest crowd so far of the convention
was in attendance, and for the first
time filled the galleries and attaining
the Chicago standard Of bigness.
Senator Jones of Arkansas gained
recognition ands moved that the con-
yention proceed to the nomination Of
a candidate for president Of the United
States. It was carried with a roar, the
galleries adding a round Of applause
in recognition of the actual opening of
the contest.
Chairman Richardson announced that
by agreement the roll of the states
would be called for the presentation Of
candidates.
Senator Vest Of Missouri presented
the name of r. p. Bland Of Missouri.
Gov. Obermeyer of Kansas seconded

The demonstration that followed the
announcement of this ballot has never
been equalled in the history O. political
conventions. Frenzied men fought for
the standards of other delegations,
hundreds of newspapers and umbrellas
were furfously hurled through the air
and men and women went frantic with
excitement. Throughout it all, Mrs.
Bryan sat to the right Of the platform.
Although a bright look Of pleasure
lighted her features, she did not ap-
pear at all excited by this wonderful
demonstration in honor Of her distin-
guished husband.

ately Virginia followed her with the,
same number, both of them deserving
Bland. Three territories, Arizona, New
Mexico and Indian Territory, marched
after them from the Bland standard to
Bryan, each one six strong. The en-
thusiasm was aroused again when big
s',r.,lck' Hinrichsen called out the 4S Of
Illinois for Bryan, the most important
desertion from Bland.
The nomina tion of Bryan seemed i'm
minent. There were cries: "Ohio can.
do it, and John r. Mclean appeared
in a chair holding cane aloft, while
under him the other leaders seemed to
be squabbling. Ohio withdraws the

with 6 and Oklahoma with the same
number swelled it to 5O44, J two thirds Of
all the votes cast.

This announcement was greeted with

asked for further time to decide the

contest in the committee they reported

White Of California for chairman and
Thomas ]. Cogan Of Ohio for secretary.

O'clock. u
Senator White called the convention
to order Thursday morning and then
handed the gavel to Congressman Rich

man, with a black moustache, and a
scholarly stoop Of the should ers, who
announced the committee on resolu-
lstions and called to- the platform Sena-
tor j. K. Jones Of Arkansas to- make

AS the delegates could not hear much
of the platform, most of its points fell
uncheered, but the denunciation Of gov
eminent injunction, which is taken as
an indirect approval of Gov. Altgeld's
course during the Chicago strike, met
with recognition.
The report for the minority was read

tives.
Senator Ben Tillman of South Caro-
