One Hundred and Fifty RepubIi-

Of Club.
FIRE STARTS AND INJURIES
Two Sets Of Candidates Nominated by
Democrats at Same Time and in One
Hall Causes Uproar in Springfield
Convention.

WATERBURY, Conn, Oct 5.--During
the Republican rally in the North End
Athletic Club room today the floor col
lapsed, precipitating l5O men into the
cellar Of the building. BY the explosion
Of lamp the building was set on fire
and the crowd Of men struggled in the
flames and debris almost helplessly. It
is feared several were fatally injured.
The fire was extinguished within an
hour when the men were rescued from
the cellar it was found that one, Harry
Dean, well known Republican worker,
was perhaps fatally injured. Among
those injured were John E. Sewell, Re-
publican candidate for Mayor, who had
just concluded speaking, when the build
ing collapsed, and Senator Irving p.
Chase, one Of the prominent men in the
city.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Oct. 5.-Two
turbulent conventions were in session
here today at the same time in the same
hall, each nominating set of candi-
dates for state officers, presented sit
uation unknown in democratic politics
in this state. The trouble was over
question of credentials, the Whitney men
claiming the state committee had re-
fused to recognize the delegates elected
at the primaeies.
The storm broke out when the chair
man of the state committee, who called
the convention to order, declared Bart
lett man of choice for temporary
chairman. Amid great confusion each
crowd nominated full state ticket and
adopted pitform. After the conven-
tion, Thayer announced he would not
accepte the nomination for lieutenant
governor on the bartlett ticket.

MRS. DOLPH PASSES AWAY.
Dies In Paris From Pneumonia After
Short Illness.

PORTLAND. Oct. 5.-Mrs. Augusta
Mulkey Dolph, widow of the late
United States Senator j. N. Dolph, died
in Paris, France, last midnight, Death
was due to pneumonia, with which she
had been suffering only few days. The
body will be brought to Portland for in
terment. iltErTW
Mrs. Dolph left Portland for Paris
last April, and intended to pass the win
ter with her daughter. Mrs. Lewis Wal
ter Thornton, in that city. She had been
enjoying her usual health until few
days ago. The news of her death was a
shock to her relatives in Portland.
Mrs. Dolph, whose maiden name was
Mulkey, came to Oregon with her par
ents in lS4S, from Illinois, when she was
child. She was married to j. N.
Dolph, in Benton county, in 1866. Short
ly after her marriage she removed to
Portland with her husband, who was
afterward elected to the United States
Senate from Oregon. Senator Dolph died
in this city in March, 1897.
1t was Mrs. Dolph's intention to re-
turn to Portland in the spring, as she
always considered it her home. Since
the death of her husband she had not
occupied the family esidence at Fifth
and jefferson streets, but had taken up
quarters at the Hotel Portland.

CLARK ROAD IS AMONG THEM
Idaho and Eastern Oregon Filled With
Secret Surveying Parties - Railroad
Truce Between Hill and Hartman Has
Been Abandoned.

MARSHFIELD. Oct. 5.-The commit
tee representing Coos Bay, which called
on Senator w. A. Clark, OF Montana,
with regard to the extension Of his road
into Coos Bay, were assured by that
gentleman that as soon as the Los An
geles extension was completed the mat
ter of such construction would be taken
up seriously. It has come to notice
here that several representatives of
the Clark interests have visited the Bay
recently and that they have not only
been well pleased with its showing of
large resources and great harbor facii-
ties. but have already reported back to
their superiors in so favorable light
that they are actively moving with the
purpose of bringing the Clark lines to
tidewater at this point. That the plans
Of the Clark interests, as well as those
of the Rock Island and Moffat system,
have been and are directed to the occu-
patton of central Oregon, has been
known for some time, and the activity
Of the northwestern, in proceeding with
its extension beyond Lander, toward
Boise, is accepted by all railroad men as
being revival of the great railroad con-
tlict which was waged so hotly two
years ago.
The entire country around Oregon and
Northern California has been occupied
by railroads and there remains only this
large district to be entered and devel-
oped. The railroad truce, which is sup
posed to have been tacitly declared, be-
tween Hartman and Hill, has been, 80
it is stated on high authority, abandon
ed and the next year will see the Rock
Island the Santa Fe, the Northwestern
and Hill systems moving into Harri-
mans territory. This conclusion Of the
prominent railroad strategists has been
further emphasized by the action Of the
corporations which, simultaneously with
the commencement of the Northwestern
extension west from Lander have put
engineers and surveyors into central and
southern Oregon, in great numbers, and
with as much secrecy as possible. But
the movements of the rival companies
have been watched by one another with
the most jealous scrutiny. Hartman is
as alert in this respect as any and his
visit to Southern Oregon while yelled
under the guise Of summer recreation.

eral makes of the coming battlefield.
