SENATOR CLARK MAKES
SPEECH TO DELEGATES
Cheers Greeted the Announcement That
the Democratic Leader Was
to Preside.

pozeman, Sept. Alt was S 80 when
the convention was called TO order lhe
stage was tastefully draped with flags
and decorated with pottcd plants. The
crash Of music from the Boston Il Mon
tana band sivered the air into pleasant
bits Of melody and democrats stamped
their feet and applauded at the end OF
each tune.
1t was strictly Clark democratic
gathering.
The Heinzc forces had been put to
rout.
The man who boasts that he could cor
rupt Montana's court was not in 1t for
minute. His strikers and heelers had
hit the trail for home when the North
Coast Limited came in at :5s and the
man who composed his bogus delegation
were waiting with melancholy faces to
ride home on the special train.
Heinze's band bottled up its music ;
his newspaper, the 'Reveille," was print
ed here last night and then suppressed
His men threw away their badges and
were ready to say that their leader was
no longer the star politician they thought
him when they went in his train TO Boze-
man.
"Heinze is dead one" is the way
his former heelers put it.
Cooper Names Chairman.
The convention opened by the reading
of the call by Secretary Harvey Bliss, after
Chairman Cooper had introduced Presi-
dent James Reid of the Bozeman col
lege, who offered prayer.
When Chairman Cooper said that W..
A Clark had been named as temporary
chairman the delegates cheercd and
stamped their feet.
Oscar Gruwcll, Charles Hoffman and
w. W. Morris were named as COM
mittcc to escort Mr.. Clark to the chair,
and then the cheering broke out again
Il am in the hands Of my friends"
said he and the delegates yelled again.
He then went on to say he never felt
so happy as when he had something to
do for his state.
THE recent attempt of usurpcr to
control our party machinery for purposes
OF his own has aroused wide interest
I'VE have come through the frey or
deal unscathcd and we have the usurpcr
stamped with the seal of our condcmna-
tion," said he and the crowd yelled again.

Bozen,an, Sept. 24.-With many
manifestations Of democratic hilarity
the state convention adjourned at
o'clock today, after putting the Helnze
DELEGATION on the trail for home and
nominating Judge J. B. Leslie Tor asso-
ciate justice OF the supreme court ana
John N. Evans for congress.
II was typical democratic conven-
ton. Every few minutes during the
two days proceedings there was a row
and at all times the dull raspino OF the
political nachete could be heard as The
delegates sharpened the blade and want
out to take the scalp Of the foes within
their own party. What the convention
did to He;n.e wss plenty. He is 50
badly whipped that it was hard work
to round up the delegation and take
them back to Butte. It was decided
to leave last night and then the time
was changed to this morning at 10
o'clock. It was later changed to IL
noon, and at that time the hired men
of Heinze hit The trail for the depot
and left town They will get to Butte
today about o'clock and tell how il
happened.
All day the ReveilIe staff has been
busy working on an extra edition Of the
red-Iieht sheet and its columns are cx-
pected to contain the choicest vtupera-
ton and biIlinesgate that can be
squeezed from O'Farrelps venomous
pen.
Regular democrats laugh Heinze to
scorn and derde his political ability.
They say they would have thrown him
out OF the party weeks ago had they
known of his schemes to capture the
courts. In this section Of the state,
and farther east, there is not much
known Of Heinze.
Many of the men who came here as
delegates from the "cow counties"
called him "Heintz" leaving off the
final "e".
Others who knew of the man had
nnother hardsher name for him which
would look bad in print. Not a DEM
onstration was made in tho convention
today on the part of the Heinze men.

Took Their Medicine.

They took their medicine and said they
liked it and let it go at that The oppo-
sition TO the plug-ugly politics was too
strong and Heinze had sense enough to
see ii. He has been belaborcd with the
party club SO hard during the last few
days that he is learning the hard lesson
which teaches him that the people of
Montana will not stand for his rough
house methods Of conducting primaries
and conventions.
The contest before the convention for
associate justice was spirited. So was
the contest for chance to run for con-
grcss. Judge ]. B. Leslie Of Great Falls

ters OF party policy and urged that a

wretched. Especially was this true with
reference to members of the press.
Manager Arthur Cutting of the Bozeman
Opera house, acting under the instructions
of Chairman Walter Cooper, was kept busy
settling complaints of delegates for whom
seats were not provided. Part of the
Beavcrhead county delegation never got
chance TO sit down at all, and Hon. Ed
Narris raised roar on the convention floor
to secure better seats He referred to Cut
ting's "mismanagement" in arranging the
seats and created scene.
The convention was long and tedious

are nearly as weary tonight as they will be

TO KEEP OUT DELAWARE GUNNERS.

Elkton, Md, Feb. B. A largely at
tended meeting of Cecil county gunners
was held here Saturday evening for
the purpose of discussing desired legis-
lation governing cunning on the Sus-
quehanna flats. Resolutions were passed
asking the gunners Of Hartford county
to join with them in petitioning the
Legislature to pass law requiring all
non resident gunncrs to pay license
of So to shoot on the Susquehanna fats.
The Cecil county gunners will also
ask for Il law providing for a license Of
s. per year from all non resident gun
ners for shooting on land. This law is
urged to keep Delaware gunners out
of Cecil county as gunncrs from this
county cannot shoot game in Delaware
unless they pay license.
The closed season for game in Cecil
county expires several weeks in ad
vance of that in Delaware, and as a
result the county is overrun with gun
ners from that State and Pennsyl-
vania. 1t is proposed that the license
money received from non residents be
applied to the purchase of birds for
the county.

EXPLOSION IN CANDY FACTORY. !.
Two Men Injured and other Employees
Badly Frightened.

Shortly before noon Monday an alarm
of fire was sent in from hoX 81, Third
and King streets, because of the ex
ploSion of steel steam Jacket kettle
in the third floor of the Wilmington
Candy Co, S building, No. 22O Market
street, in which two men, Julius
Schliesscr of No. 506 Market street and
Elias Rutter of No l23 South Franklin
street, were scalded by boiling candy.
The men presented sorry spectacle
and for time it was feared that they
were seriously scalded.
Girls in the building became hysteri-
cal and left the place in haste, some
without hats or coats. Persons on the
street were startled by the explosion,
which was heard some distance away.
Several had narrow escapes from the
flying glass, which was shaken out of
the windows on the third story by the
explosion.
The foreman Of tho company, who
was on the same floor. was some dis
tance away from the kettle and was
uniniured. He stated that the ey-
plosion could not he accounted for, but
was supposed to be the result of forma-
tion of gas in the boiler.
No fire followed the explosion and
the fire companies returned to their
houses Dr. James IL. Morgan was
summoned and carriage from the vii
mington Transfer Co, sent for, but
the carriage was dismissed and the
Phoenix ambulance sent for. DIR.
Morgan dressed the wounds of the men
and they were sent to their homes.

BISHOP JOYCE'S APPEAL. =.

In letter addressed to the presiding
elders of the Wilmington Methodist
Episcopal Conference Bishop Isaac w.
joyce, who will preside nj the next
session of the conference, saws;
''Dear Brethren: trust that at
the approaching session of your CON
ference you will have the pleasure of
reporting to that body that your dis
tricts have had prosperous and a
victorious year: that reyivals have
been numerous, that many people have
been converted and brought into the
church, and that the effect Of the same
has been valuable and belpful to the
church in every way, | also hore that
You will be able 10 report an increased
and an increasing liberality on the part
of the members of the church in your
districts. and in proof of this Won will

our great causes in every case equal to

especially do | hope this will be 50
with the collections for the cause of
missions. Not in the history of our
great missionary work have the calls
for help from every field we are irving
to cultivate in every part of the world

fearful as they are at this very
moment. Never before has the whole

city. In more than one the ministers
declared against the harbarous work of
the Pittsburg detective who ran up to
the fallen men, and. despite the pleas
for mercy made by the bullet riddled
unfortunates and determined shouts of
the local posse against murder, poured
lead into the quivering bodies. De-
tectives Roach and Swinehart were
credited with GOODNESS. but McGovern
WIS denounced as most inhuman.
IAn inquest in the case of the Biddle
brothers was held yesterday afternoon
by Coroner Jones. The jury declared
that Edward Biddle, ''under sentence
of death, a fugitive from justice, for
whom the authorities of Allegheny
county had offered 5000 reward, dead
or alive, died from IL gunshot wound
inflicted by his own hand. " The facts
are declared to be that, when the posses
of Pittsburg and Butler got within 100
feet of the fugitives, the officers left
their sleighs and deployed to capture
Biddle and his brother, whereupon all
the fugitives, including Mrs Kate
Sotfel, began to shoot at the officers.
Fire was returned and then Ed. Bid
die, to avoid being captured alive, shot
himself.
In the case of John Biddle, verdict
was rendered that he died from wounds
Inflicted by an officer of the law while
resisting arrest. The jury "exonerates
the officers from all liability, and com
mends them for their brave and faith
full performance of duty"
The evidence secured by the autopsy
bears out the statements that the Bid
dies intended to kill themselves rather
than be taken alive, and that Ed. sue
decided in his attempt, while Jack
failed, though his life was forfeited.
Dr. Bricker gaze the following state
nlent after the autopsy:
'f'JRck Biddlc was the worst shot of
the two en,although he was in better
condition than Ed. when the men we're
brought to the Jail on Friday night.
He had two gunshot wounds on the
right side in the region of the liver A
bullet wound was found in the roof of
his mouth, but it was slight, and would
not have caused his death. This wound
was inflicted by himself. His right
arm was shattered by five bullet
wounds. The wound that caused his
death was made by bullet that passed
through the crest of the illium. on the
right side, and passed back through
the kidney, causing hemorrhage. In
all, Jack was suffering from nine
wounds, but excepting the one that
penetrated the kidney, none of them
would have been fatal. Ed. IS terrible
sufferings were caused by bullet that
struck him on the left breast. This
wound was made by Ed. himself, the
powder marks being visible on the
skim
The bodies of the Biddles were taken
in charge by Undertaken w. p. Roes-
sing of Butler, who prepared them for
burial.
| In the matter of the distribution of
| the prize money, an agreement to di-
vide the $1,000 equally among the four
officers here, the driver, J. A. Snyder,
and the three Pittsburg detectives has
been practically consented to by all of
the men, except Detective McGovern,
who was not here yesterday.

DELAWARE AND JERSEY IN IT.
The Coveted Terrapiu Causes q Compile
Gated Legal Fight.

Bridgeton, N. j.. Feb /. All the
lower part of Cumberland county has
been depopulated while the trial of
Carl W. Newcomh, for having in his
possession terrapin out Of season, has
been in progress. The case has been
one of the hardest fought ever before
the Cumberland courts, and will not
stop with the decision Of the jury in
the present Indictment,
The case against Newcomh is backed
by the State Fish and Game Com
mission. The evidence Of the State
went to show that in September last
Newcomb had in pens upon his farm, in
Newport, 800 terrapin. Game. Wardens
Fred Conner and George Phifer, assisted
by Sheriff Hendee and County De
tectivc Frank J. Lore, raided the pen
and confiscatcd the turtles, afterward
liberating them.
Newcomb was arrested. 1t was some
what difficult or the State to show
where Newcomb caught the terrapin.
The game wardcns had visited the pen
several times, and upon each occasion
the pen contained many more turtles,
showing that the farm was growing
rapidly.
Newcomb claims that he bought all
the terrapin he had in his possession
in Delaware. lie had several witnesses
upon the stand. yesterday, who de-
clared they had gone over in the
Diamond State and caught the turtles
and brought them to Newcomb and
sold them to him at little less than
the market rates.
About the time this testimony had
been presented, Sheriff Reedy Of Dover,
who was in the court, slipped out and
went back home. He said he would
return shortly with warrants for all Of
these witnesses, as it was against the
Delaware law for non residents TO take
terrapin from the waters there When
this fact became known there was
general CONSERVATION. 1T is further
said that several of the witnesses will
be arrested for perjury, Already New
comb has brought suit against the
game wardens and the officers for
SO, 600 damages in civil suit, and
this case largely depends upon the
verdict in the present criminal suit.

WRECKS AT ATLANTIC CITY.
Steamship Claverdale and the Schooner
Edith l.. Allen Ashore.

Atlantic City, N. j., Feb. 8. THE
four mast schooner which "cnt ashore
during the night on Irigantine Shoals,
short distance from whore tie British
steamship Claverdale grounded yester-
day, is tho Edith J.. Allen, from Bruins
wick, Ga. for New York, lumber laden.
There is no change in the position of
the Claverdale. high wind prevails,
and the wrecking tugs have not been
able to render assistance to the dis
tressed vessel. 1t is probable that it
will be necessary to remove her cargo
before she can be floated. The Claver-
dale was bound from China and Japan
for New York, with a cargo valued at
50, 500, 00o, consisting of 1000 tons Of
