Leave Matters in
His Hands.
MINOR POINTS SETTLED.
Place and Time of Holding
Convention Left With Ex-
ecutive Committee.
MINOR POINTS SETTLED.

Chicago, Nov. 29.-The special meet
ing Of the national committee Of the
republican silver party will meet again
at the call Of the chairman after hav
ing taken an adjournment today. The
subcommittee appointed yesterday to
decide on the most practical date and
place for holding the national conven-
ton, and also to report on matters of
practical organization for the cam
paign, including the apportionment of
delegates from the various states to
the national convention, submitted its
report to the committee today, and af-
er a lengthy discussion its recommend
alton, with one or two minor amend
ments, was adopted
The subcommittee recommended
I that all of the matters in l1e,3sCGi .5e
Preferred for action to the executive
committee, of which former Senator
Fred w Dubois of Idaho is chairman.
Chairman Towne gave out the follow
ing official statement Of the action Of
the committee:
"A resolution was adopted that ma
tional convention of the silver repub-
lican party be held and the executive
committee was instructed to confer
with the democratic and populist COM
mltteeS, to secure, II possible, the
holding of all three national conven-
lions at the same time and place and
at the earliest practicable date, to the
end that complete cooperation of the
reform forces may be had. The execu
tive committee was authorized to de-
termine the number of delegates to the
convention, the same to be not less
| than 1000 to arrange the basis of Sc
lection and to allot the representation
from each state.
1t was decided that the call for the
convention shall include as eligible to
representation all those voters who
prior to 1896, or since, have acted polit
ically with the republican party, but
are bi-metalists, and favor the unre-
stricted and independent coinage of
silver and gold at the present legal ra-
ito, and who are opposed to the policy
of extending the gold standard in the
United States by retiring the green
backs, destroying the full money power
of the existing silver dollar, providing
for the payment of all government
obligations and the redemption of all
forms of paper money into gold alone,
surrendering to a banking combination
the sovereign function of issuing paper
money.
Pledges were made covering the
expenses of holding the national con-
vention.

JURY COMPLETE,
Last Man Secured
Just Before the
Adjournment.
NO COURT HELD TILL MONDAY.
Mrs. Molineux Sees Her
Husband on His We'd
ding Day.
NO COURT HELD TILL MONDAY.

New York, Nov. 29-The twelfth and
last juror i'll the case of Roland B. Mol
, ineux, on trial on the charge of causing
the death of Mrs. Katherine j. Adams,
was secured at o'clock this afternoon.
I Juror No. - is Fred Crane a CORE
spondent for the American Book Co.
Earlier in the day, Theodore Sanhope,
| a manufacturer of chemical and sur
gical instruments, was selected as the
eleventh juror.
After the ceremony of administering
| the oath to Mr.. Crane, Recorder Goff
| turned to the jury and explained that
both the prosecution and the defence
had consented to an adjournment until
Monday, tomorrow being THANKSGIVING
day. He said that it was his desire
to give the Jurors a rest before enter
ms upon the arduous labOrs of the trial,
and that he was glad to be able to grant
| them the opportunity Of spending the
holiday with families or friends.
To secure this jury, it has required
IL days of tireless and technical work
on the part of the court and counsel.
| Five hundred and four talesmen were
examined, but only Is could stand the
test, large majority of the candidates
for the jury box being ruled out be-
cause of conscientious scruples concern
ing capital punishment, circumstantial
evidence and expert testimony, OF the
10 talesmen who were accepted, three,
Daniel Fraud, Abraham Altmayer and
Morris Vraude, were eventually eX-
cused by the recorder on the ground of
ill-health.
During the morning hours of the trial
Mrs Blanche Chesebro MolineuX and
Mrs. Gen. Molineux the wife and the
mother Of the prisoner were in the
courtroom The two women were ac-
ccnpanied by Gen Molineux, father of
the defendant A few minutes later
the prisoner came into the room. His
face frightened perceptibly when he
caught sight of his wife and mother
and, hurryins forward, he kissed them
again and again. Today is the first
anniversary of Mrs. Roland Molineux's
wedding, and she insisted on seeing her
husband upon her wedding anniversary
day.

nephew, the duke. Her five sisters are
leaders of, society, and several of them
are beauties.
Lady Sarah, who is named in honor
of the great original Duchess Of MARI
borough, is a tall, handsome woman,
somewhat unconventional and a lover
of sport In 1891 she married Capt.
Gordon Wilson of the Horse Guards,
son of an Australian ulti-millionaire.
When her husband went to join Col.
Baden Powell at Mafeking, she insist
ed on going with him. She went as COR
respondent of newspaper, and was
the first titled woman to act in that
capacity in war time,
When the Beers began to besiege Ma
feking closely, Lady Sarah thought II
would be interesting to get out and
tell the outside world what was hap
pening. Early one morning she said
good-by to her husband and with only
a maid accompanying her, she set out
to travel a thousand miles and more
to Cape Town
The country through which she had
to travel is not only swarming with
Beers, but, what is far worse, with
bands OF savages eager to take advan-
tage of any weakness of either side,
Lady Sarah's relatives and friends
shudder to think that this beautiful and
high-bred young woman may have fall
en- into the hands of the brutal blacks.

TOTAL LOSS is 100000
Whole Amount Covered By Insurance
Two Thousand People Thrown Out of
Employment--Large Department

the Shopping District.

Philadelphia, Nov. 2S.-Nearly $4,000, =
600 worth of property was destroyed by
two fires in the heart of the business
section of the city today. The fire was
started in the big department store Of
Partridge & Richardson, at the south
east corner of Eighth and Filbert streets,
the very centre of the shopping district,
at $50 a. M, and before the flames had
been put under control they spread to
adjoining property, including the build
ing of the ]. B. Lippincott Publishing
Co, and caused a loss Of about 81, 10000
While this fire was in progress and
spreading every moment, another fire
broke out four blocks away on the
fourth floor of No. 419 Market street.
The loss at this fire is estimated at
S110, 900. The losses at the two fires are
more than covered by insurance.
The Eighth street fire was very ugly
one for the firemen to handle. Eighth
street and Filbert street are very mar
row thoroughfares. There was strong
wind blowing at the time and the fire
fighters had great difficulty in prevent

The engine OF the Phnlipsburg train
was torn to pieces.

was soon extinguished. The people I'M

seats in the rear car, and when the
engine hit the car and tore through it,
| their mangled bodies were crushed
through the windows and hung between
the sides of the car and the engine.
| The Iescuers took men and women
out of the wreckage in rapid succession,
and they were hurried away to the hos

sary to chop away the wreckage about
| the injured in order to get them out.
One man was found standing upon his
| head IN a corner held fast by the
wreckage, which had piled about him.

was thought he was dead, but he re-

with her feet held fast between two
heavy beams, She had to lie there, suf-

Agnes Mcdonald of oxford, N Y,
was taken out with great difficulty.
Her legs were fearfully crushed. She
suffered terrible agony during the half
hour it took to free her from the
wreckage. The dead were carried into
the depot.
David Roe, who is in the hospital
with his right leg badly crushed, be-
came frantic when he found that his
wife was not in the hospital. He be-

The santn Fe Comfy pebt.

Santa Fe, N NJ. Aug. 20.-The property
owners of Santa Fe county held mass
meeting in the court house last night, ami
appointed committee to offer compro-
mise to the creditors and bondholders of
Santa Fe county bonds. The offer will
probably not be more than % cents on the
dollar and perhaps only 8 cents on the dol
lar. The county debt is over SS77 900, and
its taxable real and. personal property a
little over si,713.0 .000- Most of the bonds
are held in New York city. A suggestion
to repudiate the debt because it is above
the per cent limit allowed by law was
Indignantly rejected by unanimous consent
of the taxpayers. Over half OF the bond
holders some time ago offered to compro-
mise for 60 cents on the dollar, and one
bondholder last evening was willing to ac-
cept 25-cent compromise. Most OF the
indebtedness was incurred for the Denver
and Rio Grande and the Atchison. Topeka
and Santa .Fe railroad construction in the
county about ten years ago.
