to Run.

The Citizens Repu blicnn party met in
convention last night and indorsed the
nominees OF the Republican County Com
mittee, the Rainey wing of the local De-
mocracy and the Peoples party, for free

H. P. Sonntag, in calling the meeting
to order, said that the committee on har-

day night believed it to be judicious TO in
dorse the nominees on the fusion ticket.
He further said that there was every pros
pect of securing harmony in the local
ranks of the Republican party, and that
there was every likelihood of the two
wings meeting and burying all differences.
Edw l. Sheehan said that the secur-
ing of harmony In the local ranks was the
one aim and object of the Citizens Re-
publican party. He accordingly moved
the nominees on the fusion ticket be in
dorsed as the nominees OF the convention.
The motion was carried unanimously
and the fifteen nominees for free holders,

INJURED BY

Two Men Hurt in an Ex-
plosion in Kapp's Ia
male Factory.
William Golden, One Of the
Victims, Is Likely to
Die.
His Unfortunate CO. Worker Severely
Burned About the Head, Face
and Body.

AS the result OF an explosion in Charles
F. Kapp's tamale factory at 3l5 Golden
Gate avenue last night two men named
William Golden and Hugh Kelly occupy
cots in the Receiving Hospital.
Golden is badly burned about the head,
face and breast, and Will die. Kelly is
seriously burned about the head and face,
but. Notwithstanding his injuries, the
surgeons at the hospital believe that he
will recover.
The explosion. it is believed, was due to
a defect in the steam generator.
1t is situated in the basement and
shortly before O'Clock last night both
men examined 1t. 1t was found to be al
right, and they proceeded with their work.
4 bout an hour later there was an ex-
piosion followed by the kissing OF hot
steam. Golden was overcome by the
steam and tell to the floor in an appar-
emily dying condition.
Although severely burned by the escap-
ing steam Kelly managed to crawl to the
door where he loudly shouted for help.
Several men who were in the factory went
to their assistance, and realizing the =
serious condition they at once summoned
thn am mbulance.
The unfortunate men were subse-
quently removed to the Receiving Hos
pital and caton oil poured over their
burns Drs. Bunnell and Kearney, who
attended them, gave their opinion that
Golden could not live.

CIVIL SERVICE CHANGES,
Reductions n Positions Carrying Lower
Salaries Held to Be the Same as
Removals.

A Dispatch from Washington states that
President Mckinley holds that his amend
ment of July 81, 1897 to rule of the civil
service rules applies to reductions OF
ratings as we'll as TO removals.
The amend ment to which reference is
made provides that no civil service en-
ploye shall be discharged without first
filing written charges against him and
nffording him ten days time in which to
make defense.
The application of this rule to reduction
In rank has created quite a stir in civil
service circles here AS well as in other
parts of the Union. 1t is held by the
President that changing an employe from
one position at given salary TO another
position at a lower salary is on the same
basis as a removal, and tnat charges
must be filed and a defense allowed in
those cases as we'll as Others

MAY BUILD INTO NORFOLK.
Proposed Scheme of che Chesapeake and
Ohio Railway Company

proposed Scheme OF the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railway Company.
Balti more, April S.-There is grow
ing belief in certain railway circles that
the Chesapeake and Ohio will at no dis
taEt date secure an all rail entrance in
Norfolk. Va. 1t is said that President
ingalls, has had the matter under consid-
Grafton for some time, and that move is
soon to be made in tina. direction.
The claim is made that the idea of
making Norfolk the Chesapeake and
ohio's deep water terminus is not tased
on any intention of abandoning Newport
News, but the growing Importance of
Norfolk and it's desirable location have,
it is stated, prompted the executives of
that company to seriously consider the
matter.
In order to affect an allrail entrance
into Norfolk the Chesapeake and Ohio
would have to build bridge across the
james river mt some point below Rich
mond and run along the south bank of
the river Such Il move would mean a
parallel line to the Norfolk and Western,
which now has specially good Norfolk
and Richmond service, and strong COM
petition would follow.
