Shenandoah, Pa, Sept. 24.-It de-
velops this morning that only one per-
son, Mike Yuckavage, was killed out
right in the shooting here. Annie ROg-
ers, the little girl who it was supposed
was shot to death, recovered con-
sciousness some hours after the bullet
struck her in the back of the neck,
and is now in fair way of ultimately

of the trouble:
Sheriff Summoned to a Colliery.
Sheriff Toole and Deputies O'DOnnell
and Brenneman were called to Shenan-
doah to suppress the MODS that threat
ened mine workers and collier proper
ty. At quitting time the three sheriffs
and a small posse whom the sheriff
had summoned on the ground went to
the Indian Ridge colliery of the Read
ing company to escort the WOrkingmen
to their homes. The cOlliery is located
a short distance east of Shenandoah.
The workmen left for their homes
shortly after o'clock. They walked
up the middle of East Center street
and reached the Lehigh Valley rail
road station. Here had gathered q
large crowd of Poles, Slavs and Hun
garians, men, women and children,
who lined both sides of the street.
Fire With Awful Effect.
A shot rang out from saloon. This
was followed by a shower of stones
Many of the crowd had picked up
sticks and stones and were acting in
a threatening manner Seeing this,
the sheriff, who had previously eau
toned his men to keep cool and not
to use their firearms, commanded them
to fire. The order was obeyed, with

City for conference with the free silver
Republicans and Democrats regarding
the vice presidency.
JERRY'S STORY DOUBTED
Mr.. Simpson was given the floor for
the closing argument in behalf of his
amendment. He began by deploring the
statements of some of the speakers who
predicted the death of the Peoples
party
I'VE have had some little fun here to-
night he said, and a little scrap.
That sort of thing does not presage the
death of the party 1t betokens mental
He then went on in a happy humorous
way amid much laughter and applause
urging the convention to refrain from
making a nomination at this time.
During his address, Mr.. Simpson made
an eloquent eulogy upon Mr.. Towne de-
claring that he was too good a friend of
his to wish to see him put into political
cold storage.
How does Mr.. Towne feel about IT,"
asked General Weaver.
iii tell you how he feels said Mr.
today from Mr.. Towne in which he said
he would not think it wise to nominate
a vice president at this time"
This statement provoked q storm, par
ticularly in the ranks of the Minnesota
| delegation who loudly demanded to see
the telegram.
Il haven't got it, replied Mr. Simpson.
"but it is here in the possession of some
| one anu not 10 OlNulSc his
name
Don't believe a word of it," shouted
! Senator Butler, with a laugh.
Mr.. Simpson then concluded with a
| strong appeal to the convention to ap-
point a committee to confer at Kansas
City.
Senator Butler gained the eye of the
chair long enough to ask, ITO refute a
statement sprung on the convention that
we know to be untrue but it not being
a question of privilege. he replied to re-
newed calls of call the roll" by say
ing:
Very well, we will play Towne any
way
The substitute introduced by Mr..
Simpson was then put to a vote.
It provided for the appointment of a
committee to go to Kansas City and
confer with the Democratic committee
in regard to vice presidential candi-
date
Amid much confusion the vote result
ed 262 votes for and 492 votes against
In the midst of the applause which fol
lowed the announcement of the result
Senator Allen arose and nominated
Charles A. Towne. of Minnesota, fol
vice president, moving that the nomina-
ton be made unanimous.

Pale with passion, he again turned
toward Chairman Patterson, and point
ing his finger at him, cried: You,
sir, are trying to crafty a petty spite
originating in today's conference
Amid cries of put him out" shut
up" and shame on YOU" Mr.. Kelly re-
turned to his delegation, every member
of which was standing on his feet.
During all the uproar Chairman Pat
terson, flushed and apparently nervous,
kept pounding with his gavel in vain
effort to restore order. Finally the ex-
cited delegates quieted somewhat for a
moment
THE chair desires to make an expla-
nation" said Chairman Patterson. Il
have honestly endeavored to let the
convention hear from both sides in sue
cession.''
COATS COME OFF.
81 deny that as a falsehoOd," broke in
Mr.. Kelly, and again the convention be-
came a perfect pandemonium. Several
excited delegates stripped off their
bearded but brawny delegate ran
toward Mr.. Kelly. He was however
stopped before he reached him.

man Patterson, pale with anger, be

question and Mr.. Groice was recognized
| Therefore I resent the imputation-"
The uprOar at this moment became sc
great that the chairman could not be
heard, renewed cries of put him OUT
coming from the delegates. AS soon as
| he could be heard Chairman Patterson
continued:
AFTER Mr.. Groice concludes viii

gentleman is trying to intimidate th'

Mr.. Kelly, surrounded by severa
members of the South Dakota delega
ton, was on his feet again by this tim
and attempted to speak, but a chorus
of take your seat" and ''oh, shut up
greeted him, and after a moments hes
itation he sat down, and the convention
gradually came to order.
Mr.. Groiee spoke urgently in favor 0

Why He Will Vote for Bryan.

Prosperity has made labor scarce in
Kansas and the thriving farmers are
compelled to import men to harvest the
crops these days, said a well-known
wheat farmer who has just harvested
100000 bushels which brought him S70,-
600. He said in the course of CONVEX
sation: Il voted for Mckinley four years
ago, but this year l am going to vote for
Bryan" l asked him why, if conditions
were so prosperous. Well" he said,
-four years ago L could get all the labor
l wanted at a dollar a day, but now |
have hard work getting men at So and
even s., and we farmers are too busy
paying off mortgages to hunt the men
up" 1t strikes me that some people are
hard to satisfy.
