Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOUISVILLE. KY, June pa con-
tinuous performance of farce lasting
eight hours, rare vocal entertainment
with soloists and a chorus of several
hundred voices, declarations and tin
horn tests of lung power, made up the
programme of the sixth days session
of the Democratic State Convention,
and it narrowly escaped winding up in
an exhibition of pugilism and gun fight
ing. From 10 O'Clock until to-day
Central Music Hall contained without
doubt the most uproarious and disor
derby body of men that ever gathered
for the transaction of political or other
business.
Angered by what they considered an
arbitrary ruling of the chairman in re-
fusing to allow an appeal from his de-
clSlon declaring out of order a motion
to remove policemen from the hall, over
half the delegates set about with all the
energy they could command to prevent
by sheer force of lung power the
transaction of any further business un-
till they secured a vote on the appeal.
This plan was successfully carried out
until nearly 6 o'clock this evening.
when, principally because of utter ply
steal exhaustion the filibusters allowed
themselves to be outwitted, and the
vote on nomination for Governor, which
the chair had ordered early in the
morning and had tried repeatedly to
proceed with, was concluded by having
the county chairmen, or as many as
would, come to the stage ndNyell their
votes at the clerk who, at distance
Of a few inches, was able to catch the
figures.
The teeth of recalcitrants having
been pried open. the bitter dose slowly
trickled down and before they fairly
realized they We're beaten, a second bal
tribulation. These two ballots, both
fruitless. represent the days work
of the convention. After they were
completed all were glad enough to adj
iourn until 10 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing.
Behind this noisy entertainment three
candidates for Governor worked like
beavers. To-day it was clearly Goebel
against the field and the Benton Coun
ty leader, cold and nerveless as ever,
has successfully defied his two oppo-
nents to combine and beat him. They
may do it yet but so far they have
shown themselves w0efully lacking in
ability to throw their vote in any one
direction or keep il silent when it seem
ed best 70 their managers that no vote

probably will attack him here too, if
they can get together. To-day's events
will tend to bring them closer, but at
present the fight is as open and as
fierce as it has been at any time.
The first ballot of the day resulted as
follows: Goebel 3521a; Stone, 261Aa;
Hardin, 81. The last ballot. the thir-
teenth, resulted: Goebel, 3201a; Stone,

TERRIBLE EXPLOSIVE
SHELLS FOR PHILIPPINES

NEW YORK. June 26.-Tests of a shell
of terrific explosive power and wide ra-
dius, which is TO be used in the fall cam
pagn in the Philippines, are now being
made at the Sandy Hook proving grounds.
This new engine of destruction is said
to produce a shock as effective as a stroke
of lightning, and its capacity to annihilate
by bursting fragments is so great that 1t
has not yet been accurately estimated.
The chances of escape from this tremend-
Gus machine will be decreased 100 times,
experts say, as compared with schrapnel
discharged at the same objects.
General Miles favors this explosive, and
his opinion is Endorsed by other military
experts. Military men say the English

kind The execution of the shells was
frightful. Dervish columns were deci-
mated, not only by flying fragments, but
touched by the shell. but killed by the
shock as if by a stroke of lightning.

SAYS THE BABY
WAS MURDERED
THROUGH SPITE
Proving a Motive in
Mrs. Adams Case.

For many weary hours yesterday Wilson
Gray occupied the stand in Judge Law
lor's court as a witness against Mrs. Min
ME Adams the mother Of his illegitimate
son, who is on trial for the murder of
her infant, alleged to have been caused
by administering dose Of carbolic acid.
The accused sat through the day without
manifesting the least anxiety, but at times
a little impatience. If she is guilty of the
crime she is of peculiar composition and
worthy of the study of the most famous
criminologists.
All day long the prosecution endeavored
to prove a motive for the crime. the allie
CATION being that little John Gray, the
dead baby, was the innocent victim OF the
length the prosecution delved into Grays
statement that the accused had threat
ened to leave the bottle Of carbolie acid
even gone so far as to threaten to place
it in It's tiny hands that 1t might drink
and satisfy the mothers craving for re-
to his child
When the witness was finally turned
over to w. E. Mack, who represents the
defendant he found himself on the grill
in earnest. Mack started in by drawing
the record of the testimony given by Gray
before the Coroner at the time of the in
ments Of Gray during the trial were in
consistent with those made during the
proceedings before the Coroner's jury. All
he proved by following this line was that
at the Coroner's inquest Gray testified
that Mrs. Adams had found the baby car
Tying around the bottle of carbolic acid
and that she had taken it from him, but
would never do so again If he CHANGED to
find it, while at the present trial he had
added that she threatened to place 1t in
his hands that he might drink 1t and sat
isfy his babyish curiosity.
1t was next attempted on the part of
the defendants counsel to prove that
Gray was largely responsible for his mis-
tress' luminosity toward him by his i'll
treatment of her and through his habit of
stealing money Of her at opportune times
Gray denied that he ever took any money
from the defendant, and the persistency
of Mack in following up this allegation led

A Work of Art.

One of the prettiest pieces of inlaid
work ever exhibited in this city is to be
seen in the State Board of Trade in the
ferry building. 1t is a large table made
of native woods by Julius Starky who is
known as the Yosemite Valley artist
There are in all thirty-six different kinds
of California woods in the table and in
color they vary from white to a dark
green 1t has taken over a year to make
the table, but the gathering and seasoning
of the material has consumed over ten
years. The table will be here until next
year, when its owner will exhibit 1t at the
Worlds Exposition in Paris.
