Home Coming Week Ended.

The close Of home coming week was
fully as enjoyable as the portion reported
in The True Northerner last week. Fri
days rain prevented the drives in the
country, but many visitors took the in
tended trips Saturday.
The picnic supper and reception at f..
G. Thayer's, Friday evening, was also
interfered with by the rain, but nearly
hundred guests assembled, had supper
on the big barn floor, and pleasant re-
ception in the evening.
Saturday was visiting day.

byterian church Sunday morning was
attended by big congregation. The

Engineer is a Hero.

Edwin Mead, an old-time Daven-
porter, for years an engineer on the
Rock Island out of here, has returned
to Davenport and will probably spend
the winter here. 1t was Engineer
Mead's action in saving a Northern
Pacific train Feb. -, 1902. near Nixon,
Mont, that has been the subject of
much comment. Rounding a cure in
the mountains, the engineer saw before
him the rails had been covered by a
landslide He could jump and save
his life. or stay and save his passen-
gers. Jump, and the train would be
thrown from the track to the rocks so
feet below. Stay, and it might be saw
ed He stayed. the engine plunged in
to the mass of rock and earth with it's
speed checked, and the train remained
on the ledge. The passengers dug the
engineer out of the wreck, and he lost
an arm and had both legs broken, but
maintains that he does not regret his
action. Engineer Mead refused an of
fer of $4,000 from the railway com
pany in compensation for his injuries.
A jury awarded him $4,000, and the
appeal of the railway company is
pending in the United States supreme
court

Tammany Scheming to
Sweep Convention.
THIS THE ASSERTION
Details Of How the Wigwam Hopes to
Rush Cleveland Through or if
Not Him Mcclellan as a
Compromise Can
didate.
Especial to News and Observer)

Especial to News and Observer
New York, May 2.-Tammany is
actively negotiating with Democratic
the working out of plan to stampede
the national convention at St. Louis
to Grover Cleveland or Mayor George
3. NcCielland The Tammany lead
cannot be nominated, and that Cleve-
land or Mcclellan can.
The plan, so far as information of
it can be obtained, is 20 first attempt
a stampede to Cleveland, and if that
fails then to put forward Mayor Nc
Cle.lan as a compromise candidate.
In n national convention, where bal
loting begins on the nomination of a
candidate for president the roll of
States is c&alled in alphabetical order.
Alabama is the first State called.
Tammany has in some way ascertain
ed that there is a strong Cleveland
sentiment in that State. When the
roll Of States is called for nominations
or balloting, one State can yield to
another further down the alphabetical
list. Alabama could yield to New
York and then Tammany could put
forward w. Bourke Cochran or
Charles A. Towne to speak for Cleve-
land or Mcclellan and start the
stampede.
The unit rule adopted by the Dem
ocratic State convention applies only
to voting. 1t would not, in the opin-
ion of Tammany politicians, bar one
Of the delegates from this county from
making a speech placing in nomina-
tion some man other than Judge
Parker.
Tammany politicians, who know of
the plan are today jubilant over ii,
and they believe that it will succeed
Tammany stampeded the Democratic
State convention of 1894 to Hill, and
Mr.. Cochran was the orator put for
ward at that time to upset the well
laid plans of the State leader. Ma
tional conventions can be, in the opin-
lon of experienced politicians, STAN
peded With greater ease than State
conventions.
