grew into shrill cheers. The Declara-
ton of Independence was then read.
Following this there was great
demonstration for Hill. Shouts Of
"Hill' were heard all over the conven-
tion hall. A portion of the New York
delegation arose and cheered while del.
egates all over the hall also rose and
cheered. Chairman Thomas and the
officers tried to quiet the demonstra-
ton but it broke out again and again.
Hill sat silent in his seat during the
cheering, "~... ~. Y. ......

but broke out again. Several men went
to Hill and urged him to get up, but he
shook his head. go. &c.,.
Ex-senator Has Nothing to Say.
Hill arose and the greatest demon.
stration of the convention occurred. He
bowed and looked toward Thomas, who
beat regular tattoo with his gavel try
ing to secure order. To several persons
who asked him to speak he said there
was nothing for him to say except that
he hoped the business Of the convention
would be proceeded with. The demon
stration continued Is minutes.
Chairman Thomas said order must be
restored or the hall would be cleared.
The clerk was then directed to read the
names selected by states for various
committees.
At the conclusion of the reading of
the list of committees a delegate from
Washington moved that an invitation
be sent to w. J. Bryan. Before the
motion could be put band entered the
hall and was followed by the various
Bryan clubs from Nebraska, who
marched between the platform and the
delegates.
1t was impossible for Chairman
Thomas to hear word uttered four
feet from his desk, but some delegates
near him made a motion to adjourn un-
til o'clock, which was at once put and
carried, amid confusion so great that
not one delegate in 30 knew to what
hour the adjournment had been taken.

Seven Killed and Many Injured
by an Explosion at Parkers- :.
*'.''> burg, w. Va. r@~ Fl"

TACOMA, WASH, July 5.-The most
appalling accident ever known in the
history of Tacoma occurred during the
morning when the 9:3O Edison car,
loaded with excursionists coming to see
the parade, went over the 6O-foot in
cline where the track runs from Dalin
street, burying the passengers, among
whom were many women and children,
under the wreck of the car. Thirty
tive men, women and children were
killed In the accident and 18 were in
jured. OF these latter fully one-half
will die. The combined count of dead
and injured equals exactly one-half the
number Of passengers in the car when
it left the bridge. The car
turned completely over and mangled
the unfortunate victims into unrecog-
nizable shapes as the debris crashed
down the steep side Of the gulch.
Just how the accident occurred will
never be k nown but as the car struck
the curve, instead of following the
rails, it whirled completely over and
pitched from the bridge, striking on it's
top, the heavy trucks and body of the
car crashing the frail upper works to
splinters and smashing down upon the
mass of men, women and children with
which the cars was loaded.
Recovering the Bodies.
In the gulch a confused mass of
wrecked cars, bridge timbers and killed
and mangleu people made the heart of
the beholder sick. Telephone messages
for doctors brought quick response.
Policemen and civilians were sent in
haste and every physician in the city
was notified. AS the bodies of the vic
Tins were brought up out of the gulch,
some Of them mangled out of all recog-
nizable shape, heartrending scenes were
everywhere seen, as mothers found the
dead and mangled remains of their
children. Everywhere, scattered about
on the edge Of the gulch, were bodies of
men, women and children, some still
alive and some just gasping their last
breath. -
The fire department., as well as the
police patrol, was early on the ground
to assist in the work of rescue. Twenty
five dead were counted on the ground
or on the bridge where they lay cov-
cred with blankets. More than as
many more were carried away in car
riages, ambulances and the patrol
wagon and in the cars of the railway
company sent to the scene to carry
away the wounded.
The gulch is over 120 feet deep, but
where the car first sruck the bank was
50,or so feet down the side Of the gulch.
Here the car first crashed into the bank
and smashed along down the side of the
gulch, grinding the victims under the
wreck
