Former Leaders
Passing.

ST. LOUIS, July 5.-An interesting
feature of the days proceedings was
the development of the waning of
Bryan. The National Committee Sc
lected four years ago by a convention
following his unquestioned leadership
to-day turned away from him in set
tling the Illinois contest. Bryan had
made the fight against Hopkins his
own, and the unanimous action of the
committee indicated clearly that he no
longer wields his old-time marvellous
control
Many times during the past few days
the suggestion has been made that
Bryan would swing his strength to this
or that candidate, and the Democrats
who were anxious to organize a win
ming coalition investigated and found
that outside of the Nebraska delegation
the former candidate had no following
save the few scattered delegates who
were bound by the unit rule and in
structed.
Many visitors called at the Nebraska
headquarters during the day and ex-
amined the plaster cast of Bryan on
the mantel, but these callers were not
the men who are in control of this con-
vention. 1t is expected that there will
be a clash with Bryan over the plat
form but that document is not pre-
dicted to be a conservative utterance
Bryan is TO be accorded a respectful
hearing, but the dominating element In
the convention, it is frequently assert
ed will not temporize or attempt to
placate or conciliate. The forces which
will adopt the platform and name the
candidate for President will also name
the Vice President, and this element
has allowed ii to become known that

of here. by a cyclOr ..
One man was killed, one fatally hurt
and a dozen persons injured The
train had slowed down to take the
bridge. as usual at that point. A strong
wind was blowing and the passengers
aboard felt the straining Of the cars to
one side. but did not suspect the Wind
was ID blame
Looking cut Of the window they saw
a funnel-like cloud of inky blacknsss
sweeping toward them with fearful
rapidity. Every window was hastily
put down and the ventilators closed.
but almost before this could be done
a gust of wind gave the train a lurch.
Then a weird whistling sound was
heard there was another wrench and
then the third, which struck the cars
with frightful force.
BY this time there was a panic
aboard. Women screamed and men
grabbed their seats in fear Phe third
lift of the wind heaved every part of
the train except the locomotive from
the tracks and tOppled the cars over
into the ditch. The smOking-car rolled
over twice. Thomas Wiley, baggage
man. from Springfield, was killed and
Ernest Lied of Springfield was fatally
hurt.
A dozen others were bruised by being
thrown against the sides of the cars
or cut by broken glass from the win
dOws.
Among the injured was General
Manager W. II. Gridley, who sustained
a fracture Of the arm.
Relief trains were hurriedly sent to
the scene with a full corps OF physi-
clans and surgeons.
One man. whose ide1tity has not
been ascertained. stepped out of the
door of the smoking-car. intending to
: leap from the train and take refuge
behind the abutments of the bridge.
He was lifted bodily by the wind. car
ried into an adjacent field and set
down as gently as a mother would
place her child in a chair.
Another man was pitched into a
small ditch in such a way that he was
protected from being crushed to death
by the car which rolled over him.
