The State Democratic Convention nm

A. ]. Montague, Of Danvile. for Attor-
ney-General. and adopting the PLATFORM
agreed upon in the Committee on Reso-

providing for the selection OF United
States senators by party primaries. THIS
provision was defeated after an exhars-
live discussion, and, indeed, can hardly
be termed a part OF the platform as SUBJ
mitted to the convention. seeing that 1t
was introduced into the body as a sepa-

The platform. as adopted by the con-

AssAssIys HOBNOD.

The Balkan problem has come to the
front again In new and unexpected

Abdul Hamid. In a sense, these two
ire kindred spirits. The natural tie
between them is assassination. No one
lisputes the claim of the Sultan TO the
utle of "The Great Assassin OF Eu-

,tone. and IL Is no secret that the ruler
" the plague spot Of Europe, as Bis
narck dubbed Bulgaria, has penchant

question that Ferdinand instigated the
assassination of Stambuloff, the great

bulgaria had known for many years;
ma the charge that he is responsible
,or the sudden taking off Of Several
,ther men who were not 10 his liking
tests on more than mere suspicion.
Ferdinand caused the assassination OF
5tambuloff, because OF the latter's anti
Russian policy, and position that Bull
taria's interests dictated an alliance be-
Key against Russia. The Bulgarian
Prince. after having been ignored,
licked, and spat upon by Russia, had
uddenly become a great Russophile,
Ind as Stambuloff and his policy were
stronger with the people than Ferdi-
hand and his new creed, and consider
ng that Stambuloff was thorn in the

First-Strcet Bridge Is Safe.
Richmond, Va, August


To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
A report has been circulated to the
effect that tho First-street bridge was
unsafe, and people have been warned
not to patroniZe the cars which pass
over it. This deters some persons from
patronizing the line. The superintendent
OF the railway says that before the first
large car wase run over the structure
the company engaged the services of that
careful and capable engineer on the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Com
pany's STAFF, Mr.. Frank Isaacs, to ex-
anime and report on its strength, condi-
ton, etc.
Mr.. Isaacs assumed as the maximum
load, that two large Lakeside cars, each
containing 1l0 passengers. would cross
the bridge at one time, and his report,
based on this load (Which the bridge will
never be called on TO bear, as it IS a
singetrack road with fifteen minutes in
terval between cars, is that the strength
Of the bridge is beyond the maximum.
He recommended the replacing of some
stringers under the rails, which was
done, not as a necessity but in order to
further strengthen the structure and
render the passage of the cars over IL
smoother.
Mr.. Lowry, who did the work on the
bridge and is an expert bridge builder,
gives as his opinion that q 60-tOn loco
motive could be safely run over it, and
as one of the largest cars loaded with
passengers could not weigh more than
twelve tons, it may be readily seen that
the rumor referred to, is without the
slightest foundation. A. PIZZINI.

baseball players bear to the pubic the
same relation that managers or dramatic
and operatic organizations and their com
panies do. There is no more excuse lot
swearing. billingsgate, and hghtng on
the baseball field during a game than
there is for such proceedings on the
stage during the progress Of a play or an
opera. The outrage in the one case is
lust as much an insult to the public as
Il would be in the other, and the sooner
baseball players and baseball managers
are given TO understand this in practl-
cal and emphatic way, the better.
1t is true that rowdes among the spec
tators frequently contribute to the repre-
hensible exhibits at baseball games, but
q Is also true that rowdyism among the
PLAYERS Is generally the exciting cause
of this contribution. If managers VIII
make their players behave themselves,
the respectable element that finds plea
sure in the game can easily see to the
rest.

AWAITED LOVER IN VAIN.
Woman Faints in Church After TIVE
Hours Suspense.

NEW BRUNSWICK. n. j., August H.
A cruel disappointment was that
which Julia Laugherty suffered yester-
day, after waiting In the church two
hours, expecting the young man to whom
she was TO be married. When he did not
come the young woman tainted
The bridegroom-to-be was Peter Hance,
foreman in one Of the brick-yardS.
and a popular young man. Two years
ago, it is alleged. he treated Miss Annie
Palmer in a similar manner but ii was
thought by tho attention he paid Miss
Laugherty that the young fellow would
not fail TO marry her.
When Hance did not come to her house
yesAay morning, as agreed, Miss
LarH5krty went to the church. The Rev.
Father Harrington was there and the
church was crowded with the friends
of the young people. For two long,
weary hours Miss Laugherty waited
hoping that her lover would come. Then
brother OF the young man burst in
with the information that Hance had
left town early in the morning and would
not be back
Miss Laugherty was taken to her
home. while the people filed out OF the
church She will not believe that her
lover has deserted her. but claims that
he has met with foul play. The viii
layers say 1t is simply the same old
trick II Hance comes back there IS talk
of treating him to u coat of tar and
feathers.

The Hnntist Chautuunun,

RED SPRINGS, y. c., August 12.-(Spe-
cial.)-The fifth annual session OF the
North Carolina Baptist Sunday-School
Chautaudua convened here Tuesday.
There are some four hundred visitors here
from the Baptist Sunday schools in va
rious parts of the State and a great num-
Der of visitors from the surrounding
country. The crowd at each exercise
numbers thousand or more. There Is
an orchestra of nearly two dozen pieces
and seventy-fve voices in the choir and
the music is very fine indeed, led by Pro-
fessor Ruebush Of Maryland. The Chau-
tauqua will last through this week, and
this promises to be the most successful
session of the body. 1t was organized
five years ago at Mt. Vernon Springs, IN
Chatham county. Two sessions were
held there, and the session OF 1885 was
held here. The session OF 1896 was held
at Morehead City. This seems to be the
most suitable place for the meeting, all
things considered.
Last night Rev. Mr.. Moseley gave
most interesting lecture on MeXlco-ltS
people their habits, customs, &c
The sad accident. Of which l wired the
Dispatch last night, has thrown a SHADOW
over the Chautauqua and the entire town
and community. Mrs. Toar, the lady VINO
was killed by the train, was visitor 10
tho Chautauqua with her family. The
remains were taken up. and will be buried
to-day. No description Of the awful ana
horrifytng scene could DO it justice. Hun
dreds Of people witnessed the occurrence
tho cars stopped. and the passengers
swarmed out to render assistance, If pos
sible. but nothing could be done. The
engineer did his best to stop the train
but being on a heavy down grade he
failed.
Tho lady killed was a most excellent
Christian woman, and the family have
the sympathy of the whole community.
They lived in the county.
