Fort Scott, Kan, July 25.-The feat
ure of yesterdays proceedings in the
PopuIist, Democratic and Silver Re
publican state conventions, which me.
here yesterday in separate halls to
nominate state tickets or effect a
fusion in the interests Of a single
ticket, was the turning down OF the
senatorial aspirations of Jerry Simp-
son by the Populist convention. The
ex-congressman desired to go before
the next legislature in the event of a
Populst or fusion success at the poll-
with the definite endorsement Of the
state convention for the office of Uni
ted States senator. His efforts met
with signal failure.

Georgetown, KY, July 25.-Yester
day was the most eventful day of the
trial of Caleb Powers, charged with
completely in the Goebel shooting,
since the hearing of the testimony be-
gan nearly two weeks ago. The tess
timory was nearly all corroborative.
Among the possibilities for the wit
ness stand today are Robert Noaks,
whose cross examination was suspend
ed last Saturday, f. Wharton Golden
and Mckenzie Todd the latter private
secretary to Governor Taylor. 1t was
definitely stated last night that Henry
Youtsey will not be placed on the
stand
Among yesterdays witnesses was
Miss Ella Smith, of BarbourviIle. She
told of a conversation between John
Powers and herself on Jan. IS. They
were regretting the CoIson-Scot
tragedy which happened at Frank
fort that day, and Powers said there
would be more bloodshed at Frank
fort if Goebel was seated. Witness
was surprised at this statement, and
said:
oh Mr. Powers, you would not be
willing to kill him, would your"
Then Powers replied that he would.
Miss Bessie Hardin, Of Frankfort,
corroborated much of the evidence of
the prosecution as to the arrival of the
mountaineeTs.
James Fletcher, of Knox county, tes-
titled that he heard John Powers say
in December:
Taylor has been elected governor,
and if any effort is made to count him
out Goebel will never be seated"
John F. Dazier, of Knox county, tes-
titled that he heard Charles Finley.
then secretary of state, tell Caleb
Powers early in December that he
would leave a shotgun loaded with
buckshot in the office OF the secretary
of state and advised Powers to use it
II any attempt was made to unseat
him. The court excluded this testi-
mony on the ground that it was not
competent
George Lockhart, of Knox county,
told of Caleb Powers arranging with
him to go armed to Frankfort for a
month. Powers told him he would be
paid if Taylor won the contest.

ELEVATOR DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Three-Quarters of IA Million Dollar,
Gone Up in Smoke.


Buffalo, July 25.-Fire last night de-
stroyed the Eastern elevator, which
is situated on the island opposite the
foot OF Washington street The ele-
vator and its contents were valued at
$3.50, 900, and are a total loss. The
cause Of the fire was not learned.
There was no explosion preceding the
fire. Carpenters and painters had been
at work in the building, and it is pos
sible that some one of them dropped a
match.
The elevator was owned by the
American Linseed company, who came
into possession of the building only a
few weeks ago. Their oil works are
situated within 100 feet of the burned
elevator. When it was seen that there
was no chance to save the elevator the
firemen turned their attention to save
adjoining property. Streams of water
were played continually on the oil
tanks and the buildings of the refinery
Fortunately the wind was blowing in
an opposite direction, and this fact
probably prevented a far more seri-
Gus confiagration.
The fire was difficult one to fight
as it started in the upper part of the
elevator and gradually burned down
ward until the entire building was de-
stroyed. The intense heat made il
impossible for. the firemen to enter the
building, and the streams thrown III
from the creek below had little effect
in checking the flames.

ANOTHER YACHTING FATALITY.

Syracuse, July 25.-Through the ex-
plosion of a steam tube connecting
with the boiler in the steam yacht
Trilby, owned and commanded by
Fred. l.. Sphinx, of Serbia, Oswego

Have Been Dealing In Stolen Brass
For Nearly Two Years.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 25.-Railroad
detectives stationed at Wilkesbarre,
Williamsport, Elmira and Rochester
have just succeeded in running down
a gang that have been systematically
robbing the railroads for nearly two
years past Within the last year large
quantities Of brass, valued at thou
sands of dollars, have been stolen from
the Pennsylvania, Lehigh Valley, Della
ware and Hudson, Lackawanna and
Central Railroad of New Jersey.
Last March the detectives in the en-
ploy of these roads held a conference,
and il was agreed to make a concerted
effort to run down the thieves. 1t was
discovered that large shipments OF the
stolen brass were being made from
WiIFesharre, a great deal of it being
sent - Rochester, n. Y. The party
70 n IN the goods were consigned in
that city was taken into the confidence
Of the detectives, and this caused the
shippers to fall into a neat trap. The
stolen brass, instead of going to its des-
tination, was shipped to Williamsport,
where 1t was taken charge Of by the
Pennsylvania railroad officials. The
shippers, however, were none the wiser.
They received the money just the same.
In order to throw off suspicion a couple
of shipments were allowed to go
through to their destination, the detec-
tives having learned that some brake
men were acting as spoilers for the
shippers.
. John Fisher, we'll known junk
dealer of this city, was taken into Gus
tody yesterday and released on Sl,5Oo
bail Two other junk dealers, Anthony
Steiner and Samuel Steiner, were held
in $500 bail More arrests are expected
to follow in Williamsport, Elmira and
Rochester. 1t is said that one OF the
parties. who was "a heavy shipper OF
the stolen brass, has made confession
which exposes the whole plot.
