TWENTY LIVES LOST

DENVER, July PA cloudburst
sent flood of water down Morrison
Canyon, eighteen miles west of Denver,
late this evening. and it is believed
many persons lost their lives. Morri-
son reports twenty persons lost near
that town. Cottages are located along
the canyon for several miles, and it is
feared that many Of them are gone.
Many people went to warn the cottagers-
OF their danger, but were too late.
The dead at Morrison: Mrs. A. S.
Proctor and four children, Mrs. Miller
and three children; Mrs. j. f. Casey and
five children, Mrs Harris and four
children.
Others are believed to be drowned and
the total list will aggregate fully TWEEN
ty-five persons. The foregoing list are
Denver families.
Villa Foster of Denver, whose father is
tent maker, was with the party known
to have been lost. She was carried down
stream by the great wave for a dis
tance, when parties heard her cries and
managed to rescue her. Her compan-
ions, who had been living in a house
just below the town, were swept away
and all must have been drowned.
All of the bridges across Bear Creek
were swept away. 1t is impossible to
get across to learn if any fatalities oc-
Cured. There was a heavy storm up the
canyon just before the great wave came
down, but nobody considered it danger
Gus. 1t proved, however, to have been
great cloudburst, and when the wave
came down the canyon it found every
body unprepared.

Park, costing $3.50, 900, is almost ruined
The damage in the country is heavy.

SPRINGFIELD (O), July 24.-It has
been raining almost continuously for
the past three days in this vicinity and
as a consequence this city is flooded.
The entire east end is inundated and
hundreds Of houses are under water
All railroad traffic is stopped and peo-
pie are being removed from their houses

CLARKSBURG CIV. Va), July "a
Eighteen hours of steady rain was fol-
lowed by cloudburst this afternoon,
and in few minutes the river rose ten
feet. Cherry Camp and other small
towns near Clarksburg were submerged
an it is feared the worst is to come as
the river is rising a foot an hour. In
Taylor County the loss to farmers will
be immense.

EVENING SESSION.

At 6:3o p. m. the convention was
called to order by the Permanent Chair
man, Senator Allen, but it was long
time before the call produced the desir-
ed effect. Then the Chairman an
nounced that a message had been re-
ceived from the Silver Convention, and
it would now be read.
Delegate Pollock of Mississippi, a
member of the Silver Convention, was
introduced by the Chairman and pro-
ceeded to read the platform adopted
by that body. There were some points
of order made against the reading, but
they were promptly Overruled by the
Chairman. When he reached the con-
ciusion to the effect that Mr.. Bryan had
been nominated for the Presidency
there was an outburst of applause,
drowning the further announcement of
the nomination of Sewall for the Vice
Presidency.
CANDIDATES FOR vICE-PRESI-
DENT
The call of States for nominations for
Vice-President was resumed, Mr.. Bau-
man of Alabama appearing as the
spokesman of that delegation to NOM
mate for Vice President Representative
Skinner, the Populist candidate from
North Carolina. There was one citizen
of the United States to-day, he said, who
could confer the greatest blessing upon
the American people, and that man was
Arthur Sewall of Maine. If he loved lib
erty and loved the American people
more than he loved office, he would
eliminate himself from the Democratic
ticket and indorse the Populists' choice
for the ice-Presidency When he did
that the wage earners would stand up,
and there would be national bank
President whom they would call thrice
blessed. If this convention wanted to
nominate William J. Bryan as candi-
date for the Presidency, it would have
to eliminate Arthur Sewall from the
ticket as Vice President. Let Mr..
Bryan" he continued, write a letter
indorsing the candidate who will be
named for the ice-Presidency by this
convention I believe he will do 1T. If
he does there win come a mighty host
from beyond the Mississippi and still
mightier host from the South, and Nc
Kinley will not know what struck him. -

Caused by Telegram From
William J. Bryan, the Democratic
Nominee, Declining to Accept
Nomination at the Hands of the
POpulists If Anyone But Sewall is
Selected for ViCe-President.

ST. LOUIS, July 24-The Peoples
Party Convention on the third day Of its
session got down to solid work, and
after a stormy night session nominated
Thomas J.. Watson of Georgia for Vice
President 1t turned down the Commit
tee on Rules by a decisive vote this
morning, and gave the nomination for
Vice-President precedence over that for
President, so as to force the selection of
a Southern Populist in place of Sewall,
whose record was strongly attacked by
members of the delegations.
The hall was almost as crowded as it
was during any of the sittings of the
Republican Convention. There was a
good deal of enthusiasm displayed,
though not in favor of any special can
didate. Most of the speeches were in
success was almost assured an hour be-
fore he was chosen.
The sensation of the night was the
withdrawal of Mr.. Bryan unless his
Ildle, MI SoeWdIl, was Hd1leu WIFI iilIIl
on the ticket Before the convention ad-
journed the purport of the message
from Mr.. Bryan became known among
the leaders. Governor Stone of Mis-
souri,, General J. B. Weaver and Mr..
Patterson of Denver held a conference,
but without result. Subsequently Gov
ernor Stone said he did not believe Mr..
Bryan'S name would be presented to
the convention. He could not, he said,
possibly see how Mr.. Bryan could ever
consider nomination after the action
of the convention in nominating Wat
son for Vice-President. The leaders of
the Populists are all at sea, but among
them those who have been contend
ing for Seawall's nomination the tele-
gram brings a ray of hope, for they
believe it will force the convention to
reconsider its action and indorse the
straight Democratic ticket. There ap-
pears, however, to be no probability Of
this being done

CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS.
Thomas l.. Watson of Georgia NOmi-
mated for Vice.President.

ST. LOUIS, July 24.-The third day of
| the convention opened with decidedly
! pleasanter weather than has been the
case ON the two preceding days. The
| hot weather of yesterday had been fol-
| lowed by light rain, which had cooled
the air and greatly increased the COM
| fort Of the delegates.
| The convention broke the record for
| promptness to-day. The hour set was
| 10 o'clock, and five minutes after that
| hour Chairman Allen called the con-
| vention to order.
While the delegates were assembling
there was considerable gossip about the
platform to be presented 1t was said
that the transportation question would
be touched on, and that while finances
would be the feature, yet a strong plank
would be inserted in favor of the initia-
tive and referendum.
| After prayer by Rev Mr.. Williams of
| the Union Methodist Church of ST
Louis, the Chairman introduced Mrs.
Marion Todd of Michigan, who read a
| resolution expressing regret for the
| death of Mrs. S. E. b. Emery, lone of
our number" Her address eloquently
eulogized the deceased lady The reso-
luton was unanimously adopted by a
rising vote.
| When Mrs. Todd had finished a dele
gate from Ohio arose and presented
gavel to the convention. 1t was COM
posed of sixtysix distinct pieces and
contained forty-eight different kinds of
wood, each representing one of the
States or Territories
The roll of States was then called for
the appointment of delegates to act on
the Conference Committee with the Sill
yer Convention. When Texas was
reached the spokesman of that delega-
| ton Indignantly declared that Texas
| had no name to present for such a COM
mittee.
The report of the Committee on Rules
and Order of Business made last
night was taken up for action The ma
/ Jority report was read last night and
the minority report this morning The
| point of the minority report is that nom
nations for Vice-President shall be
| made prior to nominations for Presl-
| dent
The majority report was explained by
Delegate Pomeroy of New Jersey,
member of the Committee on Rules
| A%iS "tAt tHitt pOIulS Oh UlIeGeHcc,
he said between the majority and mi
nority reports, the principal one being
a reversal of the order of nominations
| for President and Vice-President. One
OF the rules recommended was that
| nominating speeches should be limited
to twenty minutes and secondng
| speeches to ten. Another rule unani-
mously recommended was that where
vacancies occur in delegations the votes
CT delegates present should be counted
as pro rata of the whole number of the
delegation.
| lgnatius Donnelly aroused consider
able feeling with speech predicting the
destruction of the party. He said that
after this convention there may be lit
tie left of the Peoples party, except
the National Committee. He strongly
protested against allowing the dele
gates to elect the National Chairman.
| Judge Green of Nebraska replied to
| Dcnnelly. He said that the delegates
