Bradley, of Hagan, Ga, Loses
Hold.
A dispatch from Tallulah Falls,
Ca, says: Swinging to a cross beam
of the ninety-four-feet trestle be-
tween here and The Lodge OF escape
a train which was bearing down
upon her. Miss Rossie Bradley, of
Hagan, Ca, lost her hold and was
dashed against the rocks below, Fri
day.
She was picked up by the engineer
of the train, who witnessed the ac-
cident, and carried abroad his train,
where it was found that she was seri-
ously, though perhaps not fatally
hurt.
The strength Of the young woman
gave out almost as hands were reach
ing to save her, as the engineer had
seen young ladies on the trestle and
stopped his train before it reached
them. =
Two other girls, sister and cou-
sin of Miss Brady, ran from the
trestle when they heard the train
approach and they supposed that she,
had followed. When they turned
and saw that their companion had
remained on, the tsestle and sought
to escape from swinging from it with
her hands they became terrified and
stood on the tracks.
Captain Jones, engineer of the Tai
iulah Falls railway, brought : his
train to a standstill, and leaping from
his engine ran towards the girl who
had suspended from the big bridge.
He had almost reached her side:
when with scream she dropped to
the gorge below. 1t was the work
of q few moments to run back across
the trestle and run down the path
way on it's side. He found the
young woman bruised and bleeding
and in an unconscious condition.
Passengers and the train crew who
had followed the engineer assisted
him in carrying the young woman to
the train, which proceeded to the
falls, and the injured girl was sent

ALLIES STILL HOPE
OPPONENTS OF BRYAN HOLD A
 MEETING.
New York Delegates Are Given to Un- destand That the Nebraskan Can Be Beaten With Their
 Help.

Denver, Colo, July 6.-ronight the anti-Bryan men made another effort to concentrate opposition against the nomination of the Nebraskan and as- serted that they were now encouraged for the first time since the delegations began to arrive. The movement is not, however taken with deep seriousness by any of the men who are leading the Bryan forces.
 The names of the men who were present are kept secret to a large ex- tent. but 1t is known that among them were D. F. Cohalan and William Shee- han of New York; Colonel James Cuff fey. of Pennsylvania; former Senator James J. Smith of New Jersey; A. H. Cox of Georgia; E. L. Strauss, of Mary land: Josiah Marvel of Delaware and F. B. Lynch of Minnesota
 The consensus among those present was that if New York will declars against Bryan and stand firmly by its decIaration there exists a chance of defeating Bryan. It has been clearly understood from the first that the New York delegation would not cast its vote for Bryan If it believed that a decisive result could be obtained by casting 1t for another candidate who met the favor of the empire state.

Platform h Preparation;
 Ir1juncti0n Plank Difficult

Denver, Col. July 6.--Evidences are multiplying that probably the only diff ficult plank to prepare for the Demo- cratic platform will be that relating to the use of injunctions in industrial disputes.
 Mir. Bryan has lot 1t be known through number of reliable sources rigid. Perhaps the most important conference with reference to the in- junction plank was that held at Fair view. Mir. Bryan's home. during the dinner given by the Nebraskan to number of prominent Democrats on July 1. MT. Bryan stated clearly that he realized. that there might arise sit- nations where tho issuance of an in- junction without notice to those en- Joined would be the only remedy against loss of life or irreparable dam age to property. To meet such cases Mir. Bryan further indicated that if the Resolutions Committee could draw a plank which would provide for such emergencies with the safeguard that this class of injunctlons should be self dissolving after period of three or i've days, the plank would meet his approval.
 Work on the platform continued to- day through the medium of an infor- nal sub committee consisting of Gov ernor Haskell, who Is to be Chairman of the Resolutions Committee. and number of prominent members of the party who will have places on that Committee. The product of this work will be laid before a large sub-commit- tee of the Resolutions Committee when the latter is officially appointed by the convention.
 WilI Telephone Bryan.
 The plan contemplates teleph oning each plank to MT. Bryan at Lincoln also as agreed upon by the sub-com- mittee. In this manner it will be pos sible for the subcommittee to pre- sent to the full. committee a complete platform which has already received the approval of the prospective candi- date. So far there has developed no intimation of hostility to Mir. Bryan's wishes with reference to the platform
 Planks of many varieties were sub mitted to Governor Haskell and by him to his conferring colleagues today. One of these was an irrigation plank sub- mitted by Judge King Of Utah which pledged the party to a conservation of the irrigible lands of the West for per sons desiring to make permanent homes as against allowing this to become the property of corporations. Another plank along the same lines opposes the leasing system of grazing lands as at present applied by the forestry service of the government.
 The tariff plank came in for consid- erablo discussion today with the result that this language was put forward

San Francisco. July 6.--Today is the last day in this harbor of the Atlantic battleship fleet. and for the first time since the arrival of the ships at this port. San Francisco streets are today free of the wandering groups of sight seeing tackles that have marked them since the coming of the battleships.
 Throughout the night squads of de- ternined young men. armed with weighty arguments in the shape of stout police ssbIilies." searched every nook and crannia of the city, gathering the struggling safIormen and ship ping them by the launch load to their vessels, swinging at anchor in the stream awaiting the turn of the tide.

 It will be close to 3 p. m. when the tide marks the flood, and then with the pull of the ebb helping them out to open sea, the fleet will weigh an- chor and steam away for Honolulu the first stop in the world wide Journey.
 The markets of the city have been taxed to their limit to supply the fleet with the stores that cram the lockers. For months quantities of coal have been fed into the yawning bunkers and down in the magazine rooms great projectiIes and mighty charges of pow der have been stored. tier on tier. Ev- erything is in readiness for the long trio, and it needs but a motion from the hand of Rear Admiral Charles S. Sperry, commander of the fleet, to set the whole sixteen ships steaming in answer to his signailed commands.

Br FRANK P. GLASS, JR.

OenVer, Col, July 6.-tSpecial.D--- Formal organization of the Alabama delegation was made this morning at the Hotel Savoy at Il o'clock. In the absence of Henry D. Clayton, M. T. ormond called the delegation to order and presided until MT. Clayton arrived, about twenty minutes late.
 Because of the number of visitors in the small quarters 1t was decided that the delegates should go into executive session and that all others should be requested to leave the room.
 It was expected that a number of contests for the various offices of the delegation would be made. but com trary to expectations the session was extremely quiet, all business being transacted within an hour.
 Since the arrival of the delegation at Denver early Sunday morning the friends of John w. Tomlinson and Mir ton with members regarding the Ma tional Committeeship. At the meeting, however. MT. Lowe's name was not put in nomination, Mir. Domlinson being unanimously elected. tf
 Mir. Clayton stated to the delegation that as he was a member of the Ma tional Committee and would also be permanent chairman of the convention it would be impossible for him to at tend meetings of the Alabama delega- ton. ast

BRYAN WOULD HAVE
 JOHNSON IN CABINET

Denver, Colo. July 6.-An interesting echo from Lincoln reached here to the efrect that Mir. Bryan has received favorabiy the suggestion that the re- cent pronounced antagonisim of the Bryan, men to Governor Johnson. or Minnesota shall be offset by the intima- lion in the event of Mir. Bryan's cleo tion. he will invite Johnson to take place in his cabinet.
 One of the many visitors to MT. Bry- an who is now here. has pointed out 70 him that the marked antagonlsim 10 Johnson might alienate the influential Scandinavian element with which the MJnnesota Governor is identified by hlrth and association. MT. Bryan did not relish the idea of playing politics hui at the same time 1t Is said, he received the suggestion with consider able favor. and that If the matter could be freed from interested motive ana political expediency. he would be in- clined to let 1t be understood that Gov ernor Johnson would be favorahly con sidered if the occasion arises to form Bryan cabinet.

tentatively as embodying the position the party should take:
 The Democratic party believes in tartn for revenue only, but inasmuch as the expense of the Government is great and we are depending largely upon imports for the revenues for run ming the Government, which means the imposition of tarifr. we favor the laying of the tariff duties in such manner that there shall be no dis crimination in behalf of any section of the country or any industry"
 No one would be quoted as saying this plank would be adopted in the form given.
 Judge Powers of Utah has transmit ted to the tentative Resolutions Com mittee 8 plank he has received with approval from Samuel Newhouse, prom inently known in railroad and mining financial circles. Mir. Newhouse wires Judge Powers that the plank was writ ten after careful canvass of the fnan- ciaI classes in New York. It recites the necessity of maintaining and even increasing some instances existing railroad retes and tariffs, recognising the rightfulness of Government regu- lation. The necessity for maintaining rates is stated to be to pay the pres- ent high wage scale to railway em- ployes.
 Suggestions from Bryan.
 During the afternoon Mayor F. W. Brown of Lincoln who is 10 be the Me- braska representative on the Resolu- tions Committee,fi arrived with Mir. Bryan's suggestions concerning a num- Der of blanks for the platform in his pocket. Mir. Brown said that 1t had not been MT. Bryan's intention to pre- pare a complete platform. but that it was his wish that the committee itself should perform this duty.
 It is said that MT. Bryan's memo randum deals especially with the sub ject of the regulation of the issuance of writs' of injunction by the Federal courts in labor disputes: the. tariff, the trusts. the railroads, the election of Senators which he would have by direct vote of the people; the guaran- tee of public bank deposits by the Gov ernment. and publicity of campaign contributions.
 The injunction plank. as drafted. would prohibit the issuance of prohibt- tive writs without notice except in the cases where 1t is evil dent irreparable damage might be done to property In that event the plank will permit the issuance of an injunction limited to ten days time and a hearing would be required on the second presentation of the case.
 Soon after arriving in the city, MT. Brown went into conference with Gov ernor Haskell and laid before him Mir. Bryan's views. Both of them declined to discuss the platform.

 Judge Parker has prepared a new draft of these resolutions completely eliminating politics and dealing only with the eminent public services of Mir Cleveland.
