Columbus, O., May 26.-The demo-
cratic state convention here Wednes-
day nominated the following ticket:
Secretary of State, A. P. Sandles, OF
Ottawa; supreme judge, Philip j. Rem
ner, of Cincinnati; clerk OF supreme
court, Peter Mahaffey, of Cambridge;
dairy and food commissioner, Quintln
M. Gravatt, of Wooster; member OF

town, and Charles P. Salem, of Cleve-
land; alternates, David l.. Rockwell,
of Ravenna; John Sheehan, of Cincin-
natl; Henry c. Gray. of Hamilton, and
William E. Decker, of Paulding.
There were three presidential ele-
ments involved. The Hearst men OIL
ginally wanted instructions, but finally
limited their opposition to the unit
rule. The friends of Col. James Kill
bourne, of Columbus. who was the
democratic candidate for governor
three years ago, wanted Endorse
ment." The friends of Judge Judson
Harmon. of Cincinnati, who was attor-
ney general under Cleveland, wanted
neither Endorsement nor instructions,
but the unit rule. The Harmon men
evidently won out. The delegates and
alternates-at-large are claimed by he
conservatives, who also claim 80 of the
Ohio district delegates. Their poll of
the Ohio delegation to st. Louis is sc
conservatives Friendly to Harmony
Hearst six and Folk four, and that
under the unit rule the conservatives
will have the Ohio delegation more
than three to one.

For several years Germany made an
attempt to bring Bavaria and Wurtem-
burg into the imperial post and sup.
press their stamps, but this was not
successful until 1902, when Wurtem-
burg agreed to suppress her stamps
and use the German, but objected to
the word "Reichsposte" Qmperial
POST, inasmuch as the kingdom still
retained control of it's royal postal
system, and, in fact, still uses royal
postage stamps. Accordingly a new
set was issued bearing the legend
"Deutsches Reich German Empire),
but Bavaria has still refused to come
into the fold.

boil weevil in 1903 is not in the least
encouraging. A careful study of the
pest, made ucder the direction Of Mr..
w. D. Hunter, in charge of the en-
genealogical bureau, shows that the
boil weevil lie destined to cause a seri-
Gus rise in the price of cotton unless
some effective plan can be devised for
its determination. But therein lies
the difficulty. The boil weevil
lives in the fruit of the plant. and is
too well protected from application OF

DEADLY FUMES
A PECULIAR DISASTER CAUSES
LOSS OF TEN LIVES IN PENN
SYLVANIA COLLIERY.
Victims Riding on Train Through
Long Tunnel Are suffocated by Gas
and Sulphurous Fumes Which
Come from the Locomotive.

Wilkesbarre. Pa, May 26.-A tele-
gram received at the Susquehanna Coal
company's offices in this city Wednes-
dav evening states that ten miners were
suffocated by gas and sulphur fumes
from a small locomotive during the att
ernoon in the workings of the Summit
Branch Coal company at Wililamstown,
Dauphin county. The accident was one
of the most peculiar in the history OF
the anthracite mines, and no reason 1or
it can be assigned by the officials. The
victims included Michael Golden, gen.
eral inside foreman OF the company
and nine miners and laborers. The tun-
mel in which the disaster occurred is
one mile in length and is used by the
coal company to convey the coal mined
in the workings of the Bear Valley to
the breaker in the Williams valley. The
men employed in the mines in the Bear
valley who reside in WILLIAMSBURG nave
made a practice for years to ride to and
from their work on the trips OF cars that
are hauled between the two valleys by
small locomotives.
Overcome by Fumes.
About four o'clock in the afternoon
General Inside Foreman Golden and
about so miners boarded loaded train
which was about to be hauled from Bear
valley to Wililamstown. Everything
went all right until about half of the
journey was made, when some OF the
men attracted the attention OF the en-
gineer, who at once stopped, and 1t was
found that nearly every man in theparty
on the cars had been overcome by the
gas and sulphur which emanated from
the stack of the locomotive and f1oated
back over them. The engineer at once
crowded on all steam possible and the
unconscious men were hurried to the
Williamstown end of the tunnel. Here
help was at once summoned and the
men were taken to the surface, where a
corps of physicians made every possible
effort to resuscitate them, but aid came
too late to Foreman Golden and the
other victims.
The tunnel had been in constant oper-
alton for more than 40 years, and
this is the first accident of any kind that
has happened in it, 1t is perfectly free
rom mine gases and the ventilation is
so perfect and the air current so strong
and steady that besides being used for
hauling cars, the tunnel has formed one
of the intakes that furnish air to the
mines. No trouble has ever been ex-
perienced before from gas from the
small mine locomotives and the officials
are entirely at sea as to the cause of the
tragedy.
