Westchester, Pa. Especially Ben
jamin DeGildo. of Philadelphia, shot
and killed BENJAMIN DeFelix, fatally
wounded Pasquale DeFelix, father of
the murdered man, here and then
to escape capture at the hands of an
infuriated mob, committed Suicide
by shooting himself.
The sensational shooting is said to
be the outgrowth of feud that has
existed between the Italians for a
long time. The bad feeling was
recently increased by the arrest OF
DeFelix, the murdered man, on a
charge of keeping ''speakeasy'' and
being identified with a counterfeiting
plot. DeFelixs was cleared of the
charges at hearing In Philadelphia,
at which time he openly accused
DeGildo of having offered to give
Black Hand agents SIS to kill De-
Felix. s*H
Decide came here accompanied by
ANGELA Diermernegildo. The couple
met Benjamin DeFeliA on the street.
A few words passed and Decide
drew revolver and shot DeFelix in
the breast AS the man fell, DeGildo
sent another bullet into his body.
The shooting occurred not far from
the DeFelix home and Pasqualea De-
Felix, father of the murdered man,
ran to the assistance of his SON. He
felled DeGildo with a brick, and as
he. struggled to his feet DeGildo
again used his revolver, sending a
bullet into the elder DeFelix.s alb
domen. DeGildo fed, pursued by an
angry mob including many friends Of
the DeFelix family.
Unable to shake off his pursuers
DeGildo stopped running and facing
the mob turned his revolver upon
himself, dying instantly. In the
sensational shooting which aroused
the entire town, Patrick Murphy was
struck in the leg by a stray bullet
and severely wounded, and Michael
Sergeant was shot in the arm, it is
said, by the friend of Decide. who
was arrested.
So aroused was the Italian settle
ment by the shooting that the en-
tire force of police was sent into the
settlement and additional guards
were put on duty to prevent any pos
sible attempt on the part of the De-
Felix friends to lynch Diermerne-
gildo.

from Henry d. Clayton, OF Alabama
6sehet was Demoeraeyss -ehoiee fol
the head Of the national ticket.
AS the Democratic candidate
emerged from the Capitol buildings
on to the platform in company with
Governor Sheldon, Mayor r.. W.
Brown and others OF the committee
of arrangements mighty cheer went
up from the multitude which con-
tinued for several minutes.
AS soon as Mr.. Bryan was seated.
National Chairman Norman E. Mack
opened the exercises by calling upon
Rev. Father John F. Nugent, of Des
Moines, Iowa, to deliver prayer. Up
on its conclusion Mr.. Clayton, as
chairman of the committee on no.
tification. turning to Mr.. Bryan made
his notification speech.
He called attention to the unani-
nous action Of the Denver conven-
ton In making the nomination, and
declared that the Democratic party,
confident of the righteousness of it's
cause" was determined to rescue
the Government from the hands of
the despoilers, who have exploited
it for the benefit of favorites to the
injury of the masses OF the plain
people,"
The applause which greeted this
utterance lasted for some time, but
1t broke out again with greater in
tensity when shortly afterwards Mr..
Clayton, looking Mr.. Bryan squarely
in the face and speaking in voice
that could be heard by nearly, every
one. said:
You have always refused to COM
promise with those who prostitute
the functions of government for the
lust of greed. It was your lofty
craftsmanship, your unwavering fidel-
ity, your Jeffersonian standards of
Democracy that induced the repre-.
sentatives Of million of American
freemen unanimously to choose yon
as their candidate for the highest
Office in the world
The letter of notification was no
less vigorous than Mr.. Clayton's
speech. Mr.. Bryan received it with
full appreciation of the Importance
of Its meaning.
The great crowd at once settled
itself down to hear Mr.. Bryan's
words of acceptance. With pleased
countenance he surveyed his vast
audience and then began his remarks,
but he had not proceeded for when
he was interrupted by cheers, the de-
monstrations continuing at intervals
throughout his speech.
Mr.. Kern delivered a short adj
dress, and then he and Mr.. Bryan
retired to the capitol building, where
they held a public reception and the
exercises were concluded.

CIGARETTE HABIT GROWS.
Average OF 2,216 A Year For The
Smokers Alleged.

Washington. D. C. (Speciall -
That the cigarette habit is decidedly
on the increase in this country, is
shown by the Government statistics
just issued. In the United States
during. the last year 55,402,336,113
cigarettes were smoked. Figuring
that 25,000,000 men and boys smok-
ed, this gives an average per smoker
of 2,216. Taking into consideration
that there are thousands of smokers
who use tobacco in some other form,
it brings the average for the ciga-
rette smoker very high, and shows
an increased tendency on the part
of the American people to use this
form of tobacco.

SHALL THE PEOPLE RULE?"
BRYAN'S TEXT IN SPEECH
OF NOTIFICATION.

Shall the people rule?" Shall
the people control their own gov
eminent, and use that govern
ment for the protection of their
rights and for the promotion of
their welfare, or shall the repre-
sentatives Of predatory wealth
prey upon a defenseless public.
while the offenders secure inn
munity from subservient officials
whom they raise to power by un-
scrupulous methods?
In the name of the Democratic
party. ! accept the challenge, and
charge that the Republican party
Is responsible for all the abuses
which now exist in the Federal
Government, and that 1t is impo-
tent to accomplish the reforms
which are imperative1y needed.
Why were these known
abuses" permitted to develop?
Why have they not been cor
rected? II existing laws are suf-
ficient, why have they not been
enforced? All Of the executive
machipery of the Federal Govern
ment is in the hands of the Re-
publican party.
For a generation the Republic
can party has drawn its cam
paign funds from the beneficiaries
of special legislation. Privileges
have been pledged and granted
In return for money contributed
to debauch elections. What can
be expected when official author
ity Is turned over to the represen-
tatives of those who first furnish
the sinews of war and then reim-
burse themselves out of the pock-
cts of the taxpayers?
An election is a public affair.
What excuse can be given for Sc
crecy as to the influences at
work? If a trust magnate con-
tributes 100000 to elect politi-
cal friends to office, with view
to preventing hostile legislation,
why should that fact be concealed
until his friends are securely
seated in their official positions?
We may expect those who have
committed larceny by law and
purchased immunity with their
political influence to attempt to
raise false issues, and to employ
"the livery of Heaven" to con-
ceai their evil purposes, but they
can no longer deceive. The DEM
ocratic party is not the enemy of
any legitimate industry or of hon.
est accumulations. 1t is, on the
contrary, friend of industry and
the steadfast protector of that
wealth which represents service
to society.
The Democratic party seeks not
revolution, but reformation, and
I need hardly remind the student
of history that cures are mildest
when applied at once; that rene
dies increase in severity as their
application is postponed. Blood
poisoning may be stopped by the
loss of finger today; it may cost
an arm tomorrow or life the
next day. So poison in the body
polite cannot be removed too
soon, for the evils produced by it
increase with the lapse of time.

Having on board many pleasure
seekers bound for Traverse City to
attend wild west circus the little
steamer was blowing down the mar
row lake with steam pressure of
80 pounds, trying to make up the
time that had been lost on the earlier
stages of the trip. AS she was pass
ing Bingh the engineer discovered a
loose bolt in the engine and shut off
the steam to remedy the defect. 1t
was while he was working at the
loose bolt that the explosion occur
red. The boiler gave way with
crash, tearing off the top of the en-
CINE and demolishing the pilot house
and the forward upper works of; the
steamer, but leaving Engineer Ed
ward Hardy unscathed by the havoc
that swept before him. so
The force of the explosion was all
directed forward. Mrs. La Bonte,
sitting near the pilot house convers-
ing with her brother, Charles Mosier,
captain of the boat, was blown far
out into the water. terribly mangled,
and John Hartung, who was at the
wheel, was probably fatally injured.
All those injured were sitting in the
forward part of the boat. Many
were thrown into the water and,
chung to wreckage until rescued by
farmers living along the shore, al
though some were able to swim to
shore. The injured were brought to
Traverse City.
The steamer was towed to a wharf
and tied up for repairs. She is 81
feet long, with IL feet beam and was
rebuilt last season.
At first there were reports of many
passengers missing, but investigation
failed to confirm these rumors. Mr..
and Mrs. August Deter were report
ed among the missing, but later it
was learned that they had not been
on the boat. Mr.. Deter is broth
er of Rev. j. G. Deter. of Detroit.
