accorded to Senator Hill, and in its
spontaneity and wild enthusiasm it
was one of the most notable features
the convention has produced. 1t was
accompanied, too, by a remarkable
scene, when Hill earnestly protested
to his friends against being placed in
hcl ination, and then, finding his pro-
test in vain, when be strobe to the
platform and in tones which left no
doubt of their sincerity, earnestly be-
sought the convention not to make him
the nominee.
The Crowds Took Possession.
The proceedings yesterday moved
With great briskness. The aspect of

cratic when the session began. Antici-

When Colorado was reached that
state yielded to David B. Hill, of New
York. The audience had anxiously
awaited the appearance of the distin-
gushed New Yorker, and as he took
the platform he was accorded q splen-
did reception. The entire audience
rose, and cheered wildly, with the sim
gle exception of the little grour of
Tammany leaders, who sat silent
throughout the cheers for their New
York associate.
Mr.. Hill was in fine voice, and his
tribute to the Nebraskan touched a
sympathetic chord in the hearts of the
audience. He pictured Bryan as the
champion of the plain people and of
the worllingman, strong with the
masses, with the farmer, and with the
artisan.
| HilI's Plea for Uniting.
When Hill declared with dramatic
emphasis that the candidate would
have the support of his party--a unit
ed party-there was tremendous ap-
plause at the suggestion of democratic
unity. Aside from the brilliant eulogy
of Bryan, the speech of the New York
leader was chiefly significant and at
tractive in its strong plea for unity.
"It is a time for unity, not for divi
tion," he exclaimed, to the rapturou'
approval of the great multitude facing
| him.
The eloquent Daniel, of Virginia
added his glowing tribute to the can
didate, while former Gov. Pattison, o.
Pennsylvania, spoke for his state anc
for the east.
Gov. McMillin of Tennessee voicct
the wishes of state which "hat

The Berryville Water System.

Inc berryVlllo water SySCom-
Since September lst, with the ex-
ception of one or two days, Berry
ville's water system has failed to
supply the town with water, which
fact gave color to a story that the
springs, which are the source of
the water supply on the mountain,
had become SO weaken by the long
dry spell that the flow of water from
them was not strong enough to force
water to Berryyille. Saturday morn
ing, however, before the rain began
to fall, water in abundance gushed
forth from the open spigots and n.y.
drsnts, which was convincing evil
dence that plenty of water still con
tinued to Issue from the springs.
Saturday night Supt. Grow return
ed from the mountain, where he and
force of hands were engaged in
rectifying some of the contractors
work. Mr.. Grow stated that tbe.ab-
sence of water in Berryville was due
TO the leaks In the piping and not to
an insufficient supply on the noun
tain. He said that the water that
enters the pipe at the dam, was am
pie to supply the needs of Berrvville:
but this water, instead of forcing the
water in the pipes to Berrvville over
the big hills, was itself forced through
these big leaks in the pipe in Sny-
der's low land bv the tremendous
pressure, which was produced by the
resistance made by the water lying
IN the pipe in the river bottom aud
on the East side of Burchell's and
other big hills, over which the water
was piped.

has been almost unprecedented. was

While bailing hay on the farm of
Mr.. Saml. X. BryArly near White
Post, ont day last week, a spark from
the engine set fire to the hay stack
and nearly twenty-five tons of hay
were consumed by the flames. The
bailer and engine were removed
without being damaged. The bail
ing machine belonged to the Messrs.
Larrick Brothers, of Frederick Coun-
ty, who had recently purchased the
stack of hay, and were bailing it for
shipment when destroyed by fire.
The loss was entire. as there was no
insurance.
The barn on the farm of Mr.. j w
Summers, near Gaylord. was totally
DESTROYED by fire Monday morning,
together with 100 bushels of wheat
and all farming machinery. The
barn was insured for $1,000, but
there was no insurance on other
property consumed. The origin of
the fire is a mystery, and is suppos-
ed to be the work of an incendiary,
as it occurred in the morning about
9 o'clock.
The barn on Capt. A. NJ. Ohiches-
ter's farm, near Leesburg, WAS de-
strOyed by fire last week, together
with all it's contents consisting of
much grain and farming machinery.
