MANAGERS OF THE MEET
Williams to Preside Temporarily-N Nation
al Committee In Session.

~-~--S..'
ST. Louis, July 1.-THE committee on
arrangements of the Democratic ma
tional committee has agreed unani-
mously to recommend to the full con-
vention the selection of Hon. John
Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, for the
position Of temporary chairman of the
convention. The only other man men
toned in connection with the office
was Delegate Barkworth, of Michigan,
whose name was presented by Cam
pau only to be withdrawn.
The national committee met for the
purpose of hearing evidence in num-
Der Of contests and deciding us to
which Of the delegates are to be seated
under the temporary roll call. The
real fight In the majority of these
cases will come before the commit
tee OH credentials. The principal con-
test will be In Illinois, where pro-
tests are made against two of the
delegates-at-large-J P. Hopkins
and Ben 4. Cnble-and twenty-six
other delegates, two from each of
thirteen districts. The base Of con-
test in all these cases Is practically
the same, 1t being alleged that the
Hopkins faction in the Illinois Democ-
racy arbitrarily unseated delegates of
the Harrison and Hearst factions for
purposes of their own, without O
shadow of cause.

The Fourth Of July casualties
reported to the Chicago Tribune at
this writing are eleven persons dead,
ll67 injured and property loss
amounting to $l64,O00 Comment
ing upon this the Cedar Rapids Re-
publican says; 1T would seem that
there ought to be a remedy, or rathe,
a preventative against such an evil
as this. The idea Of impoverishing
the country to an extent represented
by the casualty list following the
fourth of July celebration, is a re-
proach to our civilization. And yet
it would appear that little can be
done. This year in most cities the
local officials were very watchful and
in not a few cases the sale of dan
gerous instruments was absolutely
forbidden. But the American peo-
pie, like spoiled children, seem to be
determined to do as they please as
regards these matters. No lessening
Of danger and accident is to be ex-
pected until the people themselves
are convinced Of their folly"

Henry CLAW spanpler.

The death Of Henry G. spangler
at his home in this city Friday night
came as very sad bereavment to an
invalid wife and host Of friends all
over Delaware County. Mr.. Spang-
Ter had been i'll but short time, a
throat complication being the direct
cause of his death.
He was sixty four years Of age,
having been born in Winchester,
Virginia, in 1910. When but a lad
in his teens, he came west and set
tied upon Delaware County as a per-
manent home, and he has been
closely identified with the farming
and business interests of Delaware
County and Manchester ever since.
In 1874, he was married to Miss
Grace Russell who now survives
him.
In the pioneer days and during
his middle age, because Of his ex-
cellent business ability and wise
management, Mr.. Spangler had been
able to prepare for a particularly
pleasant future with his beloved
wife over whom for a number OF
years he has exercised most tender
care because of her constant i'll
health. 1t seems unusually sad that
lshe should now be bereaved of that
loving thoughtfulness that has al.
ways looked to her every need and
comfort, the loss of which can be re-
placed by no amount Of sympathy OF
care upon the part of even an entire
community Of friends.
The funeral services were held
Sunday, Rev. Tuttle officiating.

London, July 4.-Over 700 Danish
md Norwegian emigrants bound for
New York are believed to have been
drowned in the north Atlantic ON June
%. Out of nearly eight hundred souls
on board the Danish steamer Norge,
which left Copenhagen, July %, only
twcnty-seven are known to be alive
and for the rest no hope is held out.
When last seen the Norge was sinking
where she struck on the islet of Rock
all, whose isolated peak raises itself
from a deadly reef some 300 miles off
the west coast of Scotland.
Norge Was Out of Hcr Course.
Early on the morning of last Tues
day the Norge, which was out Of her
course in heavy weather, ran on the
Rockall reef. which in the distance
looks like ship under full sail. The
Norge was quickly backed OF, but the
heavy seas poured in through rent
in her bows.
Two Boats Get Safely Away.
Two boat loads got safely away
from the side of the sinking ship and
many of the emigrants who were left
on board, Selling life belts. threw
themselves into the sea and were
drowned. The Norge foundercd sud
denly, and some 600 terrified emigrants
were thrown into the water or drawn
down with the sinking ship. Those
who could swim tried to reach the
boats, but these were already too full,
and their occupants beat off the drown.
ing wretches with oars.
Officer Sacrifices Himself.
One of the survivors said that when
he got on deck the Norge was half sub.
merged and was rapidly getting lower
III the water. Half mad with fright
the survivors all struggled for places
in the boats. They fought their way
to the big life boat and an officer
slowed in the six women and the girl
and then told the men to get in. The
officer then took charge and got the
boat away from the side of the Norge
Seeing that the boat was already
overloaded the officer, with great
heroism, jumped into the water and
tried to board another boat which was
not so full. He failed and was drowned
