BURNS
May Prove Fatal to James
May, An Employe of the
Tin Plate Company.

James Nay, an employee of the
Phillips Sheet and Tin plate Com
pany, was painfully If not seriously
burned Wednesday night when he
tripped and fell upon a red hot piece
of iron while, attending to his work
in the hot mills.
Nay was employed as helper in
the hot mills and was assisting an
other man at the work when some
one passed him and slightly
brushed against him. Nay lost his
balance and fell upon the iron he
was working with. In falling he
turned SO that his back would strike
the hot iron, and not his bare arms
and hands. Fellow workmen
rushed to his assistance and he was
removed from the iron in mo-
ment's time, but his back was hor-
ribiy burned,
A physician was called to dress
the wound and he was removed to
his home in the East END. He was
resting easier Thursday, but is mo-
out OF danger yet, as the burns are
very deep and may cause internal
trouble.

VERY BAD BLOOD SHOWN
BY FACTIONS OF PARTY

AS there was a large crowd pres
ent,, including many Republicans,
Robert Garrett got up and wanted
to know who should be allowed to
vote on the candidates, saying that
he did not believe the Republicans
should. take part in the proceeding.
The convention became uproarious
when a method of voting was dis
cussed and the chairman had great
difficulty in restoring order. A mo-
ton then carried to allow only DEM
ocrats to cast votes.
When IT was suggested that the
Democrats walk up to the secretary,s
desk and cast their ballots, the mem
bers Of the convention became sus-
picious OF one another and amidst
great confusion and disorder a mo-
ton finally prevailed to have each
voters name recorded by the secre-
taries. Carl Mem wanted this done
because he believed some Democrats
would march around the hall and
vote six or seven times, and R. s.
Douglas, the chairman, said that un-
less the names were recorded Il
