DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.
DELEGATES ELECTED re THE
 SIX CONVENTIONS.

McGann Wins Fourth Ward by Vote
 of 2sO to 2O7-Election of Delegates
 Practically Unanimous in the Other
 Wards--No Opposition to ShanIey in
 the Seventh ward--City Convention
 to be Held Tonight.
 The democratic party in this city held caucuses in all the wards yesterday, the polls being kept open from o. clock in the afternoon until o'clock at night. With the exception of the Me Gann-Sprlghtly contest inlthe Fourth ward everything was practically unani- nous. The vote was not particularly heavy in any of the wards.
 Tn the Fourth ward the McGann forces won by a vote of 2s0 to POT. This means that in all probability MT. Mc- Gam will be the senatorial candidate from the Tenth district as it was stat ed last evening by party leaders that he had the entire delegation. The same thing was said about John Shanley of the Seventh ward, who met with no op- l. dIlll3 NttO LOl tSSAA- ator from the eleventh senatorial dis trict. There was no opposition to John Barlow as a candidate for the senatorial nomination from the eighth district, although he has not yet signifed his Willingness to accept the nomination. In the ninth senatorial district no can- didate has yet been selected, according | to statement made by some of the democratic leaders last evening.
 In the Eighth ward some one got up printed list of delegates of his own, but as there were none of them dis tributed about the ward, and only one | of them cast, it is believed by the leaders that the thing was done as a ljoke.
 The city convention will be held in Turn hall tonight at 8 o'clock, and a delegation at that time will be select ed to attend the democratic state convention from this city.
 The list of all the delegates selected to the various conventions is as fol- lows:
 First Ward.

MORE GEORGIA LYNCH LAW.
Negro Taken from House and Whipped
 --Dics of His Punishment.

Statesboro, Ga, Aug. 29.-Sebastine Mcbride, a negro, living near Portal in the upper part of Bulloch county, was taken from his house Saturday night by five nen, carried out in the woods and whipped severely and then shot. He died soon afterwards.
 Before death came, however, he re- lated to a number of white men and colored people the manner in which he was handled, and told the names of three of his assaliants. They were, ac-. cording to his statement, Perry Barnes, Henry Barnes and Wesley Waters, all white men. The names of the others he did not seem to know. He said that the men came to his house and hailed him at the door. When it was opened they came in with guns and threatened his wife while they carried him away.
 After they had gone some time his wife heard several guns fired. Some time in the night Mcbride returned to his home, badly beaten and shot in the back in several places.
 Several of the white neighbors were notified and went to see the negro and took his testimony. After his death Coroner Stanford was notified and held an inquest.
 The verdict of the coroner's jury was obtained, and the sheriff has gone to arrest the persons named.
 The verdict finds that the deceased "came to his death by wounds inflicted upon his body by five men, three of whom were identified by the deceased as Perry Barnes, Henry Barnes and Wesley Waters. We recommend that warrants be issued for the above named men, and that the matter be investi- gated"

 Head Summaries at Opening of Cir
 cult Meet at Narragansett-New Rec-
 ords by Nathan Strauss and Monroe.
 Providence. Aug. 29.-Four thousand people attended the opening of the grand circuit meeting in Narragansett Park to-day. While all of the events were decided in straight heats, several of them were extremely interesting. One worlds record was smashed-the pacing record for mares without pace maker in front.
 Dariel, the handsome little mare own ed by c. H. Chapin, of Rochester, N. Y., lowered her own record of 2:OSA by half a second. After a false score the word word was given and she went to the quarter pole in S1 seconds. The next quarter she increased her speed so that she reached the half in 1;O1A. At the .three-quarters the watches clicked at 1:32A. Without apparent effort she maintained her speed to the wire. the final quarter being in :so1s and the mile in 2:O2a.
 Three of the four favorites headed the summaries, the only one to fail be- ing Kent.
 Aristo and Monroe took the 2:1S and |2:1S trotting classes. respectively. Driver De Ryder had little trouble in landing both victories, though the struggle for second position was close.
 Morning Star had things all his own way in the 2:2O pacing event. Angus Pointer made him step the last quarter Iof the initial heat in twenty-nine sec onds.
 The 2:06 pacing race was won by Ma than Strauss, Anidrosis barely got the place after desperate driving finishes of the three contesting horses. New rec- |ords were made by Nathan Strauss of E2:O4% and Monroe of 2:101s. The sum maries:

OLYMPIC GAMES BEGIN
 AT THE WORLDS FAIR
ATHLETES FROM MANY NATIONS
 MEET IN CONTESTS.

Two WorId's and Three oIympieRecOrda
 BrOken-The Standing Broad Jump
 Brings Out Field Never EQualIed in
 American Athletics - Flanagan,u
 Great Hammer Throw-The summar-
 ies--AIuch Enthusiasm.
 St. Louis, Aug. 2s.-Two worlds fair records were broken. three Olympic records were lowered and one Olympic record was equalled as a result of the first days events in the Louisiana Pur- chase exposition revival of the Olympic games.
 Athletes from many nations met the pick of American sprinters, Jumpers. distance and weight men in the first six events of the card that will lest all week. There were also four handl- cap events that resulted in more even competition and gave several close tin- ishes.
 About 5000 spectators were present when the first heat in the sixty metre run, the opening event, was run. A burst of cheering followed the an- nouncement Of the tie in this heat at seven seconds, as it equalled the rec ord established at the Paris revival Of the Olympic games in 1900. The sec ond heat was also run in record time, as was the final.
 The first Olympic record to go was broken by John Flanagan of the Greater New York Irish Athletic asso- citation, the holder. His first essay with the 16-pound hammer resulted in throw of 168 feet, 1 inch, exceeding the record made by him in Paris by nine inches.
 The standing broad jump brought out a field that has never been equalled in the history of American athletics. The 1 first jump, that of c. M. King of Mo Kinney, Texas, exceeded the Olympic record by three-ffths of an inch. Ray Ewry of the New York Athletic club, holder of the Olympic and worlds rec ords, followed. and on his first jump beat the Olympic record and came within two inches of beating the worlds record with a jump of il feet. inches.
 l Ewry demonstrated that his cham pionship form had not deserted him and he established a new worlds rec lord of Il feet, 4 7-8 inches. His jumps were as follows: Il feet, ? inches; II feet, 2 1-4 inches; Ii feet, 4 IA inches, breaking his own worlds record of Il fleet. 4 inches and II feet, 4 7-S inches. While the record established at Paris i by c. W. Orton of the University of Pennsylvania for the 2.5O0 metre stee- pie chase was not seriously endanger- led that proved one of the most ir- lteresting of to-day's sport. John M. Daly of Ireland got off in the lead and Iran a magnificent race, but was headed by James D. Lightbody of the Chicago Athletic association on the last lap, and beaten to the tape by a scant margin.
