ACCUSED OF POISONING WIFE.
w. T. Jones, of Union County, Charg-
ed With Murder.

W. T. Jones, of Santuc, whose wife
died suddenly last Sunday night, was
arrested Thursday and lodged in
jail under a warrant charging him
with administering or causing to be
administered strychnine poison to
Marion Jones, thereby causing her
death. The warrant was sworn out
Thursday morning BY J. Roy Fant'
a cousin of the deceased, and was
issued by Magistrate Vinson.
1t will be recalled that the jury
of inquest returned verdict that
Mrs. Jones came to her death from
the effect of strychine administered
by parties unknown to the jury.
Jones is a large land owner and a
progressive farmer, but it is alleged
that he has mistreated his wife for
years, and this together with the cir
cumstances surrounding her death,
caused suspicion to be directed
against him and led to his arrest.

BRYAN And KERN
THE NOMINEES.

Clark Howell.
The names of Judge George Gray
OF Delaware and of John Mitchell
of Illinois were not presented, ow-
ing to the explicit requests of these
gentlemen not to- have their names
go l.efore the convention.
For a time it looked as though
ballot would be required. But the.
skyline of States which Joined in
seconding Kern's nomination soon
made it apparent that the chances
of all other candidates had been ex-
tinguished. Mr.. Towne in person
was the first candidate to recognize
the decisive nature of t
Kern movement and in a ringing
speech withdrew his name ani
pledged his e2rI ort to the ticket of
Bryan and Kern. Withdrawals quick
~ followed from the supporters of
F'nwell of Georgia and Mcneil of
Connecticut, leaving the Indiana
candidate alone in the field.
The withdrawal of the Connecti-
cut candidate was accompanied by
a motion that the nomination of
Kern be made by acclamation. The
motion was carried with deafening
shout and the great assemblage broke
into clamoring demonstration on the
accomplishment Of it's work and the
completion of the Democratic ma
tional ticket.
The nomination was made at 4.23
o'clock and the convention adjourn
ed without delay. The Democratic
national committee will assemble
tomorrow to complete it's new or
ganization and to select the chair
man who will be the commander
in-chief of the Democratic forces in
the campaign. Thousands of delega-
tes and spectators are scattering to-
night their homes and every train
is bearing away thousands from the
eventful scenes of the Denver con-
vention.

Gulped Death Germs Through Tube.
Edgar T. Chatham, a medical stu

Pennsylvania, is dying of typhoid
fever, at the Allegheny General hos
pital, which malady he contracted
in most remarkable manner. Young
Chatham, since the closing of col

in pathology at the hospital. About
two weeks ago Chatham was engag-

with pure blood. He had a glass
tube, which he inserted into bot
tie containing the fever germs, and
stuck the other end in his mouth, to
draw some of the germs up in the
tube. Chatham took too long a
breath, and big lot Of the fever
germs, instead of stopping in the
tube, slipped down into his throat
and now he is suffering from the
most malignant form of the fever
with no hope for his recovery.

The immense Mexican oil helds
between Tampico and Tuxpan are
burning. The fire is visible loo
miles away on the Gulf. The nght

Gus to prisoners.
A dispatch to this effect was re-
ceived at the state department Tues
day morning from United States Con

No further details of the fire are
known there and the cause cannon

the entire fields, probably the larges'
in the world, are on fire and will be
burned dry. 1t will entail a loss OF
millions upon millions of gallons OF

SWEPT BY FLAMES.
BOSTON PROPERTY VALUED AT
$1,50O,OOO BURNED.
Famed by Stiff Northwest Wind Fire
Races Through Buildings Alon!

Races Through Buildings Along
the Harbor's Edge.
Fire believed to hayei been caused
by spontaneous combustion or a
locomotive spark; and famed by a
brisk northwest wind, swept nearly
quarter of mile of the harbor
front of East Boston late Wednesday
causing a property loss estimated at
nearly $1,000, 1000. Much. of the loss
falls upon the Boston & Albany rail-
road. One person is reported miss
ing and it is thought that he perish
ed in the flames. He is Daniel Sulli-
van, a watchman at the Cunard line
pier.
The fire was the biggest and most
destructive that has broken out along
the harbor front for many years.
The flames spread with remarkable
rapadity and by the time the first fire
fighting apparatus arrived on the
scene they were beyond control and
leaping from pier to pier.
Within an hour Of the time the
fire was discovered four piers, their
warehouses, a grain elevator con-
tanning 10000 bushels of grain and
many loaded freight cars had been
destroyed.
Several vessels and lighters mar
rowly escaped destruction. The big
Leyland line steamer Devonian.
which arrived from Liverpool, was
moored at one of the piers which
was destroyed. The discipline on
the Devonian was so excellent, how
ever, that she was warped out into
the stream without even having a
square inch of paint blistered. Less
fortune were the British bark Bel
mont of Yarmouth, N. S., and the
schooners Paul Palmer, a five-mast-
ed craft, and the o. H. Brown.
four-masted schooner. The Belmont
was moored by steel cables to the
pier where the fire started. So quick
" did the flames envelope the wharf
and warehouses that it was impossl-
bic to slip the cables from the
mooring posts, and it was necessary
to resort to the tedious process OF
cutting a half dozen more of the
great wire ropes.
By the time the Belmont was got,
ton out tn stream, the paint mao
been burned off her hull, her CABIN
had been practically destroyed hel
life boats charred and ruined, anc
her spars, sails and rigging badl!
burned. The Palmer escaped "ltf
slight damage to her fore topsa'
and fore rigging, while the rigging
sails and spars on the forward par
of the Brown were badly charred.

POLICE CASE
Was DROPPED
Waialua Officers And
Chinese Liars, Says
HemenWay

Attorney General Hemenway stat
ed this morning that the case against
the Waialua policemen, Kinikama
and George Namau, had been drop
ped by his department nearly a
month ago. Notwithstanding the fact
that they were indicted by the Grand
Jury and brought before that body.
This was done, stated the Attorney
General. because of the fact that
when a full investigation of the af-
fair was had, 1t was found that the
Chinese were as much to blame as
were the policemen.
THE matter was brought before
the Grand Jury" said Hemenway,
but was dropped when the facts be-
came known. Both the policemen
and the Chinese had broken the law,
probably, but there was such tan
gle of evidence that nothing definite
could be gotten out Of 1t. One SEEM
ed as guilty as the other but both
lied to such an extraordinary degree
that 1t would have been hard to as
certain the true facts. could not
see that any great benefit would have
come about If the Chinese were in
dicted at the time, for It would have
made an exceedingly complex propo-
sition."
Deputy Attorney General Sutton
was sent to Waialua to investigate
the affair, but he was able to consult
the Chinese only, and from their
statements. II looked to him as II he
had very good case against the po.
licemen. The matter was brought
before the Grand Jury, an investiga.
ton followed, resulting in the indict.
ment Of the policemen. Later It was
shown that the Chinese were also at
variance with the law. Hemenway
stated that both were such liars In
the case that there was nothing to be
done.
When asked II the policemen in.
dicted We're still in the service Hem.
enway said:
"Yes, SO far as | know: and they
are probably good officers too"
