dore hooSeVelt, tne cheer was ~
peated.
Vote Is Unanimous.
Chairman Cannon announced at the
conclusion of the roll call that Theo-
dore Roosevelt had received the en-
tire vote of the convention. 994, and 1t
only remained for him to announce his
nomination for the presidency by the
republican party.
The enthusiasm following the an
nouncement OF the chairman was OF
much briefer duration than that which
followed the first call, the cheers not
lasting over two minutes.
Mr.. Cannon then announced: "The
clerk will call the roll for the presenta-
ton of candidates for vice president" "
Mr.. Hundley, of Alabama, as before on
the presidential roll call, announced
that his state desired to waive It's
right in favor of the state of Iowa.
Dolliver Nominates Fairbanks.
This meant Senator Dolliver, who was
to deliver the first nominating speech
in favor of Senator Fairbanks, of Indi-
ana AS the tall form OF Iowa's junior
senator was seen pressing toward the
platform. the cries and shouts broke out
and they were redoubled in violence
when Chairman Cannon led forward
Senator Dolliver and spoke few words
of introduction.
The first mention of Senator Fair
banks name was the signal for cheers,
which were renewed when he formally
presented the name Of the Indiana SEN
ator.
When the applause subsided Senator
Depew, of New York; Senator Foraker
of Ohio; Gov, Pennypacker OF Pennsyl-
vania, and ex-senator Carter. Of Mon

MAN AND WIFE KILLED.
Electric Car Strikes Automobile in q
Chicago Suburb-Victims Are
Badly Burned.

Chicago, June 27.-An automobile
outing terminated in instant death
Sunday morning for Mr.. and Mrs.
George e. Dixon, we'll known residents
of Lagrange and leading members Of
the Episcopal church of that suburb.
They were killed in Austin avenue.
in Austin, when their automobile coll
lided with an electric car on the Au-
rora, Elgin & Chicago railroad. I'm
mediately following the collision ths
gasoline tank of the automobile ex-
ploded, and the flaming fluid saturated
the clothing of the two victims Before
the fire could be extinguished both
bodies were burned almost beyond
recognition. AS dramatic climax to
the double tragedy, the brakes OF the
electric car became unmanageable and
the car, crowded with horror-stricken
and fear-benumbed passengers, ran
wild of its own momentum for almost
q mile.
The circumstances of the collision
are not clear. Neither Motorman
Frank Bates nor Conductor Thomas
Hughes could explain more than the
fact that the automobile ran directly
in front of the rapidly moving electric
car, and that the collision occurred
before there was any opportunity to
apply the brakes or reverse the power.
Both the motorman and the conductor
were arrested, but later In the day, at
the request of George e. Dixon. Jr..
The accident Is said to have been
due in part to the construction OF the
electric motor car. The arrangement
of the motorman's compartment does
not permit of clear view on the left
side. The car was east bound, and the
Dixons approached from the north. on
the left, so that the motorman had no
sight of them until the automobile
was on the track in front of the car.

HANGED BY a MOB.
Fate Of a Brutal Negro-His Victim, .
Little Girl, Places Rope
Around His Neck.

Eupora, Miss, June 27.-Starling
Dunham, negro wanted on the
charge OF criminally assaulting the IA
year-old daughter of John Wilson, a
white man, near Bellefontaine, two
weeks ago, and attempting to criminal
ly assault three young ladies named
Dunn near this city. all during the
course of the same day, was hanged in
the public square here Sunday by
mob. The moose was placed about the
negro's neck by the little Wilson girl.
who positively identified him as her
assailant. The negro was then placed
upon the back Of black horse and.
at q signal from the leader of the mob,
the little Wilson girl led the horse
from under him. Over 5000 persons,
white and black. witnessed the hang
ing. The lynching was as orderly as a
legal execution. After being assured
that the negro was dead, the mob cut
down the body and turned 1t over to
relatives for burial.
Dunham was captured Friday nea-
Vienna, Ala, after running chase,
during which he was twice wounded.
He was brought here Saturday night
by the sheriff of this (Wilson) county.
A large mob met the train at the rail-
road station, and an effort was made
to get the negro, but the officers spir-
tied him away and carried him to jail
at Walthall. six miles from here,
where the party was again met by a
mob of determined men, who said
their intention was to burn Durham.
The officers in charge of the negro
succeeded in prevailing upon the mob
to give this intention up, but only af-
ter promising to deliver the negro to
the mob Sunday morning for execu-
ton.
There was strong sentiment for
burning, but this was overcome ani
the lynching took the form of hang
ing. Dunham stoutly maintained his
innocence to the last, and denied that
he had ever seen the Wilson girl. He
admitted having visited Dunn's place.
but denied any bad motive. His last
remarks were made to 200 negroes,
who were assembled about the place
of execution, Dunham telling them
never to go about white mans house
when women were at home alone. The
three Dunn sisters, the eldest OF
whom is less than Is, witnessed the
lynching from a distance.
