port If Mr.. French was given the place.
Mr.. French. In his address to the con-
vention, spoke of his confidence in his abil-
ity being equal to that of Mr.. Ennis and
emphasized the justice of giving the place
to the country, not forgetting to say some
pleasant words for Mr.. Ennis, and ballot
ting followed. While 1t was in progress
Senator White was seen in the hall and
was cheered vociferously, but he declined
to speak until the count was completed.
The votes seemed to run very even for a
long time, but finally Ennis pulled ahead
and the result showed that there had been
700 votes cast, of which Ennis received
367A and Mr.. French 1924. Mr.. Harris, the
Pasadena leader, could not resist this Cp-
portunity of doing another graceful thing,
so, on behalf of Mr.. French, he moved that
the nomination be made unanimous, which
was done.

Pennsylvania GuardsmHn Fooled by n
Lightning BuE Roasting ON a Oar.
The soldiers Of the First Battalion,
Second Pennsylvania Volunteers, who
guard the extensive powder yards Of
the du Pont company, have numerous
Experiences while on guard duty, ono
Of which occasionally comes TO light.
1t is related that one of tho volunteers
while ON his post the other night in
tho upper yard whore care arc loaded at
the large magazine, thought he saw a
man trying to strike match ON the
sido OF q car. AT once seeming or
sighting supposed Spanish spy. or at
best a man with dastardly motive, he
called for the corporal of the guard.
Thinking something important was in
the wind, tho other members of the
corporate squad who were in the guard
tent Resting, hastily caught up their
weapons and followed the corporal to
the scene. Then was made a complete
search of the vicinity.
Tbs cars we're carefully inspected but
no trace of an intruder was discovered.
a ruse was then put into effect to draw
the person from his hiding, but nothing
came OF that.
Meanwhile the guardsman who had
first seen the suppose spy striking a
match at the car, again declared that
be- could see him there. TheredpUn
another inspection was made and right
on the end OF the car was found IN in
offensive lightning bug.
Persons who have read an articla in
the Daily Republican Tuesday telling
Of an alleged attempt or intent TO blow
up the powder works, may see in the
foregoing the probable foundation for
the mors serious report. With regard
to the report as given by the Republi,
can, Eugene du Point of the powder
firm, said that he knew OF no such
case and evidently luo6ed upon the re-
mort as q fake.
