S. Toba, Greek, who lives at 112. First avenue, was robbed of $500 in cash and a quantity of clothing this morning about l o'clock by negroes who entered his store at that place.
 The burglars shot at ToEta three times. but failed t. strike him. They gained en- trance into the store by going through the old Dixie Bottling works, breaking the door open into the side of his house and crawling in under a shelf.
 Tobia was aroused by one of the women who lived on the second floor and ran down, stairs. It was then the negroes shot at him He states that there were three or four negroes. The money was kept in a drawer near the front end of the store.
 The burglars made their escape. and the police were notified. The Greek was so excited that he was unable to give a cor rect account of the affair. and it is prob able that today the police will be able to secure some other information which will be more valuable

.ESOPUS CITIZENS
 CELEBRATE EVENT People of Both Parties Rejoice
 in Nomination
BIG PROCESSION FORMED
Enthusiastic Crowd Marches to Rose mont to Tell Judge Parker of Their Happiness at News
 of His Nomination.

Esopus, N. r., July 9.-The report that Judge Parker had sent word to his friends in St. Louis that he demurred to the platform devoid of the gold plank reached here tonight just as the Esopus people were preparing to celebrate his nomination.
 Dispatches setting forth the situation at St. Louis were shown to Judge Parker but he refused to make the slightest com ment upon them or to be questioned on the subject. At almost the same hour the steam yacht "Sapphyre" anchored in front of Rosemont and immediately John B. Mcdonald and Judge E. P. Hatch of New York were landed. They climbed the hill to Rosemont and while Judge Hatch chatted with Mrs. Parker, MT. Mcdonald had a Ions conference with Judge Parker. What might be hf errand could not be learned. but 1t is certain that the yacht left New York early this afternoon and made quick time up the river, delayed only by stops at one or two points where telephone communi- cation was impossible.
 All Esopus and vicinity turned out to- night to do honor to Judge Parker and
 in special recognition of his nomination in which aR citizsrs of the community. regardless (of politics, take great pride. The village was gaily attired in it's best anu was {brilliant with lanterns, bunting. flags, tofches and red fire. A procession was fofmed in the main street and marched down to Rosemont. where speeches were made by Supervisor Ellis B. Long and E. Z Parker. one of the judges neighbours The speakers assured the judge that the gathering was not po- 1itlcal but an exhibition of civic pride and the tribute of neighbors to fellow citi- zen and friend, regardless of politics.

MIR. BRYAN SUFFERS NERVOUS COLLAPSE Returns to the Hall Against
 Physicians Advice WILLIAMS IS SUFFERING Strain of the Proceedings Has Told Heavily on Many of the Delegates.
 Bryan Has Been Awake for
 Seventy-two Hours.
WILLIAMS IS SUFFERING

St. Louis, July Civilian J. Bryan suf- fered a temporary collapse this afternoon. He left the hall about half past five this morning as soon as the nomination of Parker was assured without waiting for the completion of the roll call and, ac- companied by his brother, entrenched himself in his room at his hotel where he gave orders that he was not to be dis turbed under any circumstances. Those who sat near MT. Bryan last night saw very clearly that he was really suffering In addition to the loss of sleep he has undergone, amounting now to nearly seventy-two consecutive hours. he Is trou- bled with a bad cold and his brother and his close friends are doing all they can to force him to take some rest. He was not at the afternoon session of the con- vention, but hopes to be there later in the evening when the nomination is made.
 David B. Hill was late in arriving at the hall this afternoon. and even his joy at the success of his candidate did not hide the fatigue and nervousness which the sessions of the resolutions committee and of the convention and the numerous caucuses in which he was a leader, have brought on him.
 ''I am feeling better; I have had four hours sleep" said Senator Tillman. as he arrived at the coliseum this afternoon. but he found few of his conferees who shared the same feeling with him.
 John Sharp Williams was used up after his first session as temporary chairman, and for the past two days has been suf- fering from nervousness, from hoarseness and other minor complaints.
 Champ Clark Very Hoarse.

KEEP LATE HOURS.
Lights Shining Brightly at Judge Par
 ker's Home at Late Hour.

Esopus, N. Y, July 1o.-Long after mid night the light in Judge Parker's house were burning and his visitors had not re- turned to the yacht which still lay in the river. It is believed that the judge was kept in close touch with the convention news by means of a telephone from Kingston, but at late hour the Asso- ciated Press was assured that in no con tingency would the judge have anything to say on the subject of his reported message to the convention, or any reply which 1t might decide to send him.

Would Refuse to Talk.

Esopus. July 9Th text of the telegram prepared by the conference committee at St. Louis and which it was suggested should be sent to Judge Parker was com municated to him tonight by the Associat- ed Press. He declined to discuss 1t and said that in no contingency would he have anything whatever to say

Jvdoe Parker Receives Visitors.

Esopus, N r., July 9.-Judge Parker was asked this evening concerning the probable date of his formal notification. He absolutely refused 10 discuss the ques- tion.

to make himself heard beyond the first four rows of seats, although he keeps cough drops in his mouth all the time. He has his secretary make the announce ments for him through the megaphone.
 Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota was among the few persons permitted to see MT. Bryan, and he made a brief call upon him at o'clock this afternoon After leaving MT. Bryan's room the senator said that Mir. Bryan's bronchial tubes had been badly affected, and that two physicians had been called in. They found one of the lungs slightly affected but a change for the better had taken place. and the physicians expressed the opinion that all danger was passed. They, how ever, ordered complete rest, and MT. Bryan will go to a place in the country near here. He will not again appear in the convention Senator Pettigrew ex- pressed the opinion that Mir. Bryan would later define his attitude towards the democratic ticket, but said that he would not do so unti, he could have time to give most careful consideration to what he might say.
 While the afternoon session of the con- vention was on Mir. Bryan left his hotel' and by a supreme effort went to the convention hall The excitement seemer to buoy him up and he took an active part in the proceedings. He did this against the wishes of his physicians.

 The suggestion was approved with a shout and quiet settled down over the convention pending the arrival of the important message from the Southern hotel.

Scenes at Last Nights Session Are Unparalleled in the History of the Democratic Party-The Pro-

FOR PRESIDENT Alton Brooks Parker of New York. FOR ViCE-PRESiDENT Henry G. Davis of West Virginia.

eThe platform adopted by the con-

 regarded by us as a possible issue in the campaign, and only cam paign issues were mentioned in the
 platform. Therefore there is noth- irg in the views expressed by you
 in the telegram just received which would preclude a man entertaining them from accepting a nomination on said platform"
