A RECORD RREAk Err.

Thirty-nins Thousand Pounds of Paper
Made In One Night ON One of the Pusey

William McGraw, who until Satur-
day last was in charge OF tho Globe
Man, one of tho famous machines of
the Glen mills, and one of the largest
and fastest paper makers in thu world,
broke the record for great runs last
week. He matte nearly 10, 600 pounds
Of paper in ono nights work OF IL
hours duration. When the fact that
from 30. 600 to SO, 600 pounds is con-
aidered remarkable run for the same
number OF houra is remembered, this
run Mt once easily takes ils place at the
head of tho list OF big follows. To
make this amount of piper the Globe
Man was compelled to push along Mt
the rate of AGA feet per minute. A
little multiplication and division will
show this flyer was making about 10
miles of paper per hour and about GS12
miles for tho nights work. The
chances for phenomenal runs at the
Glen mills are numerous, as it ia well
known that nowhere in the world is
there as much paper made with like
number Of machines; but this run is
easily ahead OF anything ever done
here, and consequently far and away
beyond anything ever done at any other
mill. -
The machine upon which the record
was broken is considered one of the
finest in the world and 1t is one upon
which tho local company has made .
great reputation. 1t turns out paper

FIGHT AGAINST GORMAN
The Democrats Of Maryland Holding
Their State Convention Yesterday.
CONTEST FOR COMPREHENSIVE
Deakyne Withdrawn from the
Battle.
7. A. SMITH THE MACHINE CANDIDATE.

Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
Baltimore. Md, July 90. The pur-
pose for which tho Democratic State
convention was called to-day was,
nominaily, to select candidates for
comptroller and clerk OF the Court of
Appeals, but this really was of minor
moment 10 view of the fact that it
actually meant the opening Of a CAM
paign which will, in all probability.
decide whether or not Arthur Pue
German will lose his seat in the United
States Senate and his place at the head
of the Democratic party OF Maryland.
The fact that tho Republicans are now
in complete control of all the State and
municipal Offices has diminished his
chances of success in the coming fight.
The currency plank was naturally the
most troublesome. just a year ago
Mr.. German presided over State con-
vention here which adopted platform
declaring in the most unequiyocable
terms for gold standard of currency
and pronouncing in language equally
strong and unmietakable against the
| unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio
of 16 to l. What has happened since
then Is history. and Mr. Germans sup
port of the national platform was as
earnest and energetic as il it had con-
tanned the currency plank adopted by
| the democrats of Maryland.
There were something more than 200
delegates preeent when the convention
was called to order by Chairman Tai
bolt Of the State central COMMITTEES,
although the total vote was but III.
This is because many counties sent
double delegations, so great was the
interest taken and the desire to partici-
pate in o.day's proceedings.
just prior to the assembling of the
convention George A. Dsskyne of Caro-
line county Withdrew, and the name OF
State Senator Thomas a. Smith. as the
German candidate for comptroller, was
substituted. An earnest effort was
then made to induce John r. Pattison
of Dorchester county, the candidate OF
the silver element in the convention,
to withdraw for harmony, but be em-
phatically declined to do SO.
