is being fitted up for the newspaper
correspondents with many con-
VenienceS.
More than 200 letters went from
Judge Parker in the first outgoing
mail most of them replies to letters
and kilograms of congratulation. More
than 200 arrived in the first incoming

be installed within a day or two in the
new offices.
The following telegram was received

Judge Parkers daily routine has
hardy shown a sign of the new honor

down to the river for his usual swim,
returning after about thirty minutes
to dress for breakfast. Then he read
the newspapers, which arrive here

Parker is a careful and thorough
newspaper reader and he varies from

today was devoted to his mail, after
which he went for a horseback ride
for an hour or more.

AN AWFUL WRECK

ed on Chicago and
Eastern illinois.
By the Associated Press. )

Chicago, July 1S.--Twenty persons
were killed and about twenty-five in
jured tonight in a collision on the Chi
cago and Eastern Illinois Railroad at
Glenwood, Ills, twenty three miles
south of Chicago.
The collision occurred between a

returning from Momence, Ills, and a
freight train, into the rear end of
which the excursion train dashed at
high speed The picnic train was COM
ing north and the freight was on the
sCuthbound track. A misplaced switch
threw the picnic train on over on the
southbound track. and before the en-
gineer could apply the brakes it ran
at forty miles an hour into the rear

ker had sent to Sheehan. 1t was iden-
teal the real telegram, except that il
closed by saying: II will decline the
nomination unless the convention in
serts a gold plank in the platform.
That w2S the way the telegram was
understood to read before Mr.. Shee-
han presented it to the convention
Just upon the heels of that report
came out the st. Louis Star, contain
ing telegram, purporting to be from
Judge Parker to Senator Carmack, de-
claring that he would decline the NOM
nation unless the convention inserted
q gold plank Mr.. Sheehan did not
during the afternoon present his tele-
gram to the Convention, Mr.. Carmacl1
did not deny the genuineness of the
Star telegram and so the Convention
had no information except the mis-
quoted Parker telegram to Sheehan
and the fake Carmack telegram. The
impression was general that Parker
had issued a threat or an order, and
the Convention was in no mood to ac-
cept dictation, and the hall rang with
statements to that effect. Parker's s
friends were badly ratified. The panic
would have been sooner relieved if, as
soon as he got the telegram, Mr.. Shee-
han had read it to the Convention, but
he was wiring to Esopus for a con-
firmatiOn of the telegram, and other
New Workers were in telephone COM
munication with Judge Parker. and
everybody was at sea. When the au-
thenticity of the Sheehan telegram
was established and the fraud of the
Carmack telegram was made known,
the leaders were then in great state
of mind to know which of three sug-
gested courses to pursue:
81. To reconsider the adoption of
the platform and send it back to the
committee to wrestle with it. That
course meant to adjourn the Conven-
ton until Monday and a wrangle and
division that might have made another
Charleston Convention.
80. To introduce and try to pass a
separate resolution stating that the
Democratic party recognized that the
gold standard had been adopted and
pledged itself to abide by such stand
