1t was a memorable night for Bryan. About
$4,000 New-Yorkers listened to his speech from
beginning to end, hardly one of them being
suffered to escape from Madison Square Garden
by the two hundred policemen who had been
instructed to keep them in their seats at almost
any hazard. 1t was memorable night also for
Richard Croker; for he was recognized before
a vast multitude of his fellow citizens by can
didate for the Presidency as the Democratic
leader in the chief Commonwealth of the Union
and the dictator of the policy Of his party in
the Empire State The huge amphitheatre was
packed from floor to ceiling long before the
hour set for the appearance of Mr.. Bryan.
The Tammany district leaders had carried out
orders to leave not foot Of even standing room
vacant. They began to gather before o'clock
and poured in with rush when the doors were
opened at $50 Many of them evidently had
not gone home from their work for the evening
meal, but brought sandwiches and bottles with
them. Small pasteboard pictures Of Bryan were
distributed. and the men were instructed to
stick them in their hatbands Little flags were
also given away by the thousand, and when the
crowd futtered them. all at once, the effect was

BRYAN A TRIFLE LATE
Mr.. Bryan had been scheduled to arrive at
o'clock sharp but he was a quarter of an hour
late. and the waiting throng stihed its mpa-

played by the band and by exchanging cam

Bryan, though their backs were turned. and
broke forth into a mighty roar. In a moment
more the Tammany boss and the candidate for
President were facing the people side by side
on the platform, and the roar changed to a
yell which was prolonged for fully five minutes
before it showed any sign OF slackening.
While the yelling proceeded Mr.. Croker and

organizer and paymaster. The National party
now consists of the United Irish League, with
Redmond as its leader and O'Brien the mas

on the Irish side. The Irish party is now more
compactly organized than it has been since Far

the Queens visit TO Dublin nor the glamour Of q

DEATH IN THE STORM.
THREE KILLED AND SIX HURT IN
NEWARK
FIERCE GALE TEARS DOWN NEW BUILD
ING. BURYING NINE WoRKATEN
IN THE RUINS

The fierce northwest gale that swept over this
section yesterday afternon at the rate Of sew
enty-sx miles hour brought death to three
men in Newark fatally hurt at least two, and
perhaps three and seriously injured three others.
The dead are:
BAUMGARTNER. Joseph mason. OF Newark.
RUHLB William. mason. of Newark.
WARD. Robert. hod carrier. Of Newark
When the storm came up the injured men were
at work on the new building of the Marin Linz
oIeuul Works. al Passaic and Fomercy avef. in
Kearny. The building was to have been brick
structure. 1t had frontages of 100 feet and 125
feet The brick work had been carried to a
height of fifty feet and the iron and steel girders
for the floors and roof had been put in, but the
windows were not in place, and the roof was not
covered. The men were employed by John f.
Day. Of Newark, and were taking down the
scaffolGine inside and outside of the building
When the wind struck the building 1t rushed
through the openings, and formed a whirlwind
inside the walls, and in a moment the whole
collapsed like eggshell. All four walls went
down with a crash, and the nine men
buried under the avalanche of brick ard steel.
The work of rescue began as soon men
could be mustered. Ruhle and Ward were taken
out dead. They had been crushed to death. Up
to late hour last night Baumgartner's body
had not been found, and it is supposed to be in
the middle of the great heap of bricks not yet
explored.
Scales, Roller and Brause were hurried to the
Newark City Hospital as soon they were got
out. Dilando was unconscious when taken from
beneath a pile of brick, and removed to St.
MichaePs Hospital. There is little chance that
he will even regain consciousness. Foster was
also sent to st. Michaels Hospital. His chances
of recovery are slight.

TEST OF WATER PIPES.
MIR. A. a. KNUDsON, ELECTRICAL
ENGINEER, WILL REPORT
LATER

Mr. a. A. l[nudson, of New York. the
electrical engineer, left here last night.
He has been examining the mains and
pipes of the waterworks system with
the intention of making n report on
the effect of the electric currents on
the iron pipes.
His method is TO extend a wire from
the street railway tracks to the iron
fire plug. He attaches n volt meter to
the wire and thereby tests the infu-
ence of the electric current. He can
tell practically what that influence is
at any given point by the strength OF
the current.
Speaking of his work here to a re-
porter for the Virginian- Pilot. Mr..
Knudson said his duties were much
like those of a judge. He takes evil
dence first and gives his opinion after
the evidence shall have been all taken.
He has been examining the condition
of the water pipes all over the city. He
will return to conclude the work and
make u report on electrolysis later.
The object of the examination Is to
determine jow to save the iron pipe
from electrolysis.
The effect of electricity on the iron
pipes is to extract the iron and turn
the pipe into graphite. That makes
them worthless as water carriers.
Some of the pipes taken up recently
show Il complete change. They are no
longer solid, tenacious iron, but brittle
or broken graphite.

BELL PHONE TROUBLE.
A Protest Against Higher Rates.
Given Their Choice Between Paying In
creased Tolls or Dropping tho Bell, Many
Subscribers Decide to Let 1T Drop The

system, and for that Reason Gavo Notice
OF Necessary Small Increase in Rates.

Under the above heading the Char
lotte IN. C) Observer says:
The retail druggists of Charlotte, in
view of The advance of rates by the
Sell Telephone Company, and all hav-
ing Queen City telephones, have decided
to drop the Bell Company's phones.
All the phones of that company went
out last night. The members of the
Butchers Union at n meeting held at
. o'clock yesterday afternoon, ordered
the Bell telephones taken out of their
establishments. The grocers. it is I'M
derstood. have taken similar action.
The trouble between the Bell Tele-
phone Company and it's subscribers in
Charlotte is due to an advance in rates
of about IS Il year for stores. When
notice of the proposed advance in rates
was given the Butchers Union took up
the matter and decided that rather
than pay the new rate. it would discon-
tinue the Bell phones. Notice to that
effect was served upon the Bell Com
pany by the butchers, who were follow
ed by the druggists and later by the
grocers This action on the part of
these business men practically reduces
the Bell telephone business in the city
TO n point where the service would be
undesirable as we'll s Improbable"
