GEORGE ENocHs, A NEGRO, KILLS HIS FATHER AS RESULT OF A EuLoGY OVER HIS DEAD MOTHER.

Selma, July A. - Especially = George Enochs, negro, has killed his father, Clip Enochs, after a quarrel with. the old man about an euligium of the lat ters wife in which the preacher said that the woman owed all her troubles and criticism in which the son cordially agreed George Enochs has surrendered to the officials of the county and will have a preliminary hearing next Friday.
 When the mother of the family was buried a few days ago the pastor who conduced the funeral in his sermon re- marked in a manner too informal to be friendly that old man Enochs was the most ornery or husbands and that he had been more trouble to the old woman than the devil himself. Enochs did not like the tenor of his remarks and more than once said so. From his son, George, how ever, he had little of comfort or sympa- thy for George thought his reverence was quite right in his estimation of the hus- band
 Saturday night Enochs and his son quarrelled as they proceeded from Selma to their home in West Dallas. They reach ed their house in a heat of passion. and young Enochs, it Is said, secured a shot gun and shot his father twice. killing him instantaneously. The younger man, when surrendered said that his father was trying to procure gun when he killed the old man.

Crowds in the Metropolis.

From Leslie's Weekly.
 Every pleasant summer day the harbor of New York Is dotted with excursion boats, all crowded, and some so over crowded that the danger must be appar- ent. .~
 A great city like New York is full of dangers to>>those who are in a crowd. What happened in the Iroquois theatre in Chicago, not long ago, might happen in New York city today, or tonight, k half dozen or more of the cheaper museums and playhouses of the Bowry and other tenement sections. Most of these are tinder traps, but pull and graft" combined protect them and will continue to do so until the people, aroused by such horrors as the burning of the Slocum take .ne city administration by the throat and compel it to give places of responsibility only to those who merit them. A panic with fearful loss of life is invited on any hot night, on any recre- alton pier in New York city. Our new subway has still to show whether 1t can handle holiday crowd of boisterous New Workers better than the crowds at the Brooklyn bridge entrances are handled every evening, and it IS marvellous that the loss of life at this bridge has not been much greater.
 The holiday throng in almost any great department store, filled with infiamma- ble goods as such establishments are. offers conditions ripe for a fire panic with all that that implies. The enormous gatherings of women and children on the top floors of some of these great stores during the holiday period would be ut terly at loss to find opportunities for escape by single stairway or by few elevators, and in the crush what might not happen? A great hotel, with thou sand guests, as many more visitors and banqueters Is not entirely free from the peril of sudden excitement. During the campaign season we shall have 25.000 peo- pie in Madison Square Garden and about its doors. the streets impossible, and en- thusiasm at the pitch of frenzy. What fearful fatality would follow the cry of fire on such an occasionl

POPULISTS HAVE
 VERY fY.SSIIkIK SLIM CROWD
NO ATTENTION PAID TO THE CON- vENTIoN BY SPRINGFIELD ciTI- zENs AND HUNDREDS OF SEATS WERE EMPTY.

Springfield, Ill, July 1.-The 300 or 600 delegates that were expected to attend the populst national convention in this today, did not put In an appearance and when the convention was called to order this afternoon there were fewer than 200 delegates in the hall. The citizens of Springfield took no interest in the con- vention and there were not more than seventy-hve persons present besides the delegaes. Mayor Deveraux, who was scheduled to extend a word of welcome to the populists at the opening of the con- vention, did not show up, neither did he send a representative or an explanation of his absence. There were hundreds of empty seats in the large state arsenal where the convention was held.
 Only twenty-three states were repre- scented in the convention.
 The convention was called to order at l. i3 D. m. by Vice Chairman J. H. Edms- ton of Nebraska, and the call of the con- vention was read by Joe A. Parker of Kentucky, national chairman. Ex-Con- gressman L. P. Weller of Iowa was made temporary chairman and Charles Q. De, france of Nebraska temporary secretary.

 Some of the passengers without a thought of self, placed women and chil- dren in the boats. preferring to remain behind rather than take advantage of their strength
 The mate of the Norge who left the ship in the boat which arrived here, seeing that 1t was overcrowded. leaped into the water for the purpose of swimming to 0 second boat not far away He had only gone short .-stancs when his strength gave out and he sank.
 Crew Behaved We'll.
 The crew of the Norge seemed to behave well after the first panic, when it is sald the officers were compelled to drive them back from the boats But there ap- parently was DO discipline. the orders which the captain shouted from the bridge being misinterpreted or unheard, So far as the survivors remember, there YVES no systematic distribution of the peo- pie to the boats, which were not ade- quately manned No attempt was made by any of the survivors to save property. There was no time to make preparations The correspondent of the Associated Press made careful inquiry to discover why the Norge was so far off her course. Rockall reef is known to every sailor on the North Atlantic, and is marked plainly on the charts. A strong current sweeps in It's direction, and it is presumed, owing to absence of definite knowledge that the current drew the Norge 10 her grave; that a heavy mist prevented the lookouts from seeing the danger, and that there was no thought of Rockall reef until the ship struck and the captain called out that they had struck the terror of north ern navigation.
 Those survivors wishing to continue their journey to America will be sent for ward via Liverpool tonight, while those who refused to go further, together with Sailor Mathieson, have left Grimsby by steamer direct for Esberg, Denmark.
 All the men were provided with new clothing before thelr departure.

Hopkins Defends Himself.

In several of the contests Chairman Quinn took the floor and vigorously de- tended the policy he had pursued in the state convention, and John P. Hopkins made an elaborate defense of all his ac- tions before and after the convention. The statements of these two gentlemen several times provoked acrimonious re- plies from contestants in the various dis tricts, and the debate became so pointed at one stage that Senator w, J. Stone of Missouri, who is chairman of the sub committee, suggested that the gentlemen from Illinois go outside and settle their troubles If they were unsuccessful they must have bull fight"
 Judge O. P. Thompson of Jacksonville made argument for the contestants, Judge Dunn of Chicago and Silas R. Cook of East St. Louis. who are seeking the seats of Hopkins and Cabe as delegates at large.
 The subcommittee adjourned at mid night without taking a vote of any con- test. It looked like Hopkins.

He accompanied the to the boats and saw them safely on board He was urged to jotn them,
