Waterville, September 9.-This sister
town of Oakland has made a sensation
Of the sudden death of Elbridge Bick-
ford, a farmer whose home is about mile
west of the village upon what is known
as Biokford hill. Thursday morning he
was found dead at his home by nighbors,

affair, divulges the fact he was widower
living alone. He has two children, son
and daughter, who would be benefited
by his death. Wednesday night he went
to the home of his son and there took re-
freshments. Later he returned to his
home alone where he was found this
morning dead. Being worth quite a
little property allegation of foul play
were circulated, thus the coropers visit

Ohio State Convention of National Demo
Gratis Siim1y Attended.

Columbus, Ohio, September 9.-The
state convention of the National Demo
Gratis today was not as large as expected,
the attendance being limited to probably
half hundred delegates. Notwithstand-
ing the committee appointed Wednesday
night decided that it was advisable to
nominate ticket the opposition succeeded
up having plank slipped into the plat
form declaring in expedient to do SO. The
majority, however, seemed to think that
state ticket would give the party or
ganization q prestige which it could not
otherwise secure and this plank of the
platform was defeated by a decisive vote.
The following state ticket was nominated:
For Governor-Julius Dexter, Cincin-
natl
Lieutenant t-Governor-Judge A. E.
Morrill,, Sandusky.
Judge of the supreme Ccurt-Judge
John H. Clarke, Youngstown.
Attorney General-Daniel Wilson, Gin
cinnati.
State Treasurer-Samuel Stevens,
Columb bus.
Hon. W. D. Bynum of Indiana, spoke
about two hours on the money questions
and letters were read from Hon. John G.
Carlisle and Hon. Henry Watterson.
The platform reaffirms the Indianapolis
platform of year ago; declares for the
gold standard, the retirement of the green
back, the extension of the civil service
merit system and demands retrenchment
of expenses and scope of government; de-
nounces the Dingley tariff law especially
the duties on lumber, wool and hides,
condemns Hawaiian annexation, intro
ducing population untitled for Ameri-
can citizenship and exposing our country
to foreign wars; disapproves the attack
on civil service 1eform by Ohio Republi-
cans and thanks President Mckinley for
his extension of the merit system.

SIR CHARLES TuPPER CLOSES.
His Address Best Effort of Any Speak

Halifax, September 9.-Sir Charles
HILBERT Tupper closed his address today
before the Behring sea commission. His
argument was the best effort yet made by
any of the speakers. He treated his sub
ject in a manner that showed his tho
rough knowledge Of the case. He rested
his case for the most part on the authori-
ties quoted by the American counsel and
used their arguments in support of the
British claim. He claimed generous
award for his clients and maintained
that the United States would feel the nec-
essity of paying a generous award for
any damage done. He closed with a quo
tation from the remarks of Mr.. Phelps
before the Behring sea tribunal at Paris.
Mr.. Peters then took up the cases of dam
age separately. He took up the case of
the Henrietta. The claim in this case
amounted to $21, 4o4.10. He discussed
each item Of the claim as 1t appeared in
order and opposed the United States
claim for reduction. The case on the
Onward" with 2claims amounts to
s53, ,570.10. In all cases interest at per
cent is asked from the date of seizure up
to the present time.

"I have travelled thousands upon
thousands of miles on railroads and ]

feel the shock very severely where was,
but from the way things looked cannot
for the life Of me see why we were not all

terrible have ever seen. 1t has made an
impression on me that cannot leave me
during my lifetime. -

day with Assistant Secretary Roosevelt
who has just completed an inspection, OF
the North Atlantic SO uadron at sea and
while under full fleet manoeuvres. This
is the first inspection made in recent
years under such conditions and the re-
suits are highly satisfactory. Under the
eye OF the assistant secretary, an extensive
programme of exercises was successfully
executed in limited period of time.
The Dolphin reached the southern drill
squadron while the ships were at sub
calibre practice. This was suspended by
Admiral Sicard upon his learning that
Mr.. Roosevelt's desire was to witness
heavy gun practice, and the battleship
Iowa was designated to fire her batteries
in the presence of the Assistant Secretary,
who was taken aboard for the purpose.
The practice was excellent and from the
big twelve inch guns down to the little
machine guns the battery worked without
serious hitch and splendid targets were
made. The crack armored cruiser Brook
lyn was next put through her PAGES and
ran up and down the firing line, making
good practice at the distant target. In
the evening the flagship New York re-
