ferred DeIay-Bryan on Hand.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Demo-
cratic congressional campaign committee
met tonight and for over two hours dis
cussed plans of reorganization. Thirty
four States were represented. 1t was de-
cided that inasmuch as there were num-
ber of States without representation in the
Democratic party in the House the organi-
zation should not be completed until the
next meeting of the committee to be held
two weeks from tonight, when chairman
and secretary and an assistant secretary
will be chosen. In the meantime it was
agreed that the present chairman, Mr..
Richardson, of Tennessee, should continue
to act as temporary chairman, and a COM
mittee was appointed, consisting of Repre-
sentative Zenor of Indiana, and James L.
Norris, of the District of Columbia, in con-
nection with the temporary chairman to
correspond with executive committees of
the States not represented on the committee
with the view of having them suggest men,
bers of the committee. The result of to-
nights action in pOstponing the election
of a chairman is regarded as a defeat for
Mr.. Grigcs, of Georgia, who was a prOmi-
nent candidate for the office. Those favor
ing "A postpOnement of the election OF
chairman were strongly of opinion that he
should be a Western Democrat.

SWEPT THROUGH A SEWER
EXPERIENCE OF EDWARD BOYLE IN
NEW YORK FILTH DRAIN.
Fell Into the Water. Which Was Run
ming Like Mill Race, and Was
Carried Into the River.

NEW YORK, March 14.-Edward Boyle.
a plumbers helper, is the hero of a trip
through the sewers of New York, which
rivals i'm interest and dangers the wander
ings of Victor Hugo's Jean Vatican through
the labyrinth by which the streets of Paris
are drained. For three-quarters of mile
he swept helplessly through the dark by
a rush of water running like a mill race.
Overhead the rattle and roar of the busy
streets went on. At last he was thrown,
dazed and bewildered from the mouth of
the sewer into the East river. Men on a
scow moored near by hauled him out and
brought him to land again. For a time he
could not speak, for the shock of his ter
rible experience had paralyzed his nerves.
Then, while the little crowd that had gath
cred about him still were asking where
he had come from he found his tongue
and asked for "a smoke Half an hour
later he had refused the assistance of the
ambulance surgeon who had been sum-
moned and had started on his way home,
seemingly none the worse for his strange
adventure.
Boyle is employed by a plumber. who
has the contract for keeping in order the
sewer which runs through East Fifty
third street and emptes into the East
river. There had been some trouble with
the drain at No. 527. and Boyle was sent,
with two other men, to remove the OBJ
struction Immediately opposite the house
is manhoe of the main sewer, and the
men decided to start their examination
there ladder was lowered into the
sewer, and Boyle, with guide rope dang
ling ready to his hand. went down first. He
almost had reached the bottom when a
rung broke and he lost his balance. He
screamed as he grabbed at the rope. and
his companions bent over in time TO see
him miss ii and disappear with splash.
BOYLE said the water was rushing through
the sewer at a terrific speed. 1t was three
or four feet deep. He could feel the bot
tom, but coulu not keep on his feet. The
Fifty-third-street sewer runs into the main
drain at Second avenue There the vol
ume of water and filth was greatly in
creased and Boyle narrowly escaped
drowning He was hurled about, but man
aged to keep his head above water. and
after few moments more, which he says
seemed like hours, he saw the light at the
end of the drain. He was hurled head
foremost into the river and struck out
for a scow which lay near by. Except for
a severe shock Boyle appeared none the
worse for mis- Journey.

ELIZABETH CITY, N c., March IA
The taking of testimony in the case of
James Wilcox. charged with the murder Of
Miss Nellie Cropsey, was begun to-day.
Coroner Fearing testified that the body was
found in Pasquotank river, about five yards
in front of the Cropsey residence. He ex-
amined the body and found that the cloth
ing was intact. The lower limbs were limp
and dangling in the water There was
confusion on the left temple, and the blow
that caused it would have occasioned un-
consciousness for at least half hour. The
absence of water from lungs and stomach,
combined with other facts, he said, was
evidence that Nellie Cropsey had been
placed in the water while unconscious.
Cross-examination did not alter his testi-
mony.
The Misses Sadie and Annie Wilcox took
seats by their brother this afternoon. An
