"Good , good , " und loud npntuuso.J *

When the ohuirminof thoMlssoiirl delega

son.Tho confusion became so grout for n time
thnt the chair refused to listen to or rocog-
iilo nny of tbo dolognlos. At this point n
tall man with u vorv black board shouted
louder than all tbo rest and attracted the at
tention of tbo chairman. >
The Chairman Who is the gentleman !
Mo\nil to Makci It liy AcolumuUon.
The speaker said his name was Cole of
Ohio. " 1 move that thn rules bo suspended
and that General A. E. Slovouson bo nomi
nated by acclamation. "
Loud applause greeted this motion and the
delegates nil over the hiill seemed impatient
that the question uo put. In the midst of
the excitement Mr. Hcnsol of Pennsylvania ,
who was standing on thn platform in front
of the presiding ottlcor , seconded the motion ,
The Chairman Hon. A. E. Stevenson of
Illinois has already received moro thnn two-
third ) ot the vote of this convention. It Is
moved by Mr. Colu of Ohio , and seconded bv
Mr. Honsol of Pennsylvania , that the rules

malion the nominee of this convention for
vlcu president. All in favor of that motion
will sny aye.
A great chorus of ayes followed this Invi
tation ot the chair"ntid the chair at once de
clared the motion unanimously ndoptod.
The band played "Hall to the Chief" nnd
there was a universal howl from the crowd ,
which , howovor. did not last long. Every
body seemed to.bo .satisfied with the result
of the ballot. SomxJbody scattered a lot ot
the now Grover Cleveland "Wnng' songa
nud tbo StovonsctruannOr wns raised bv the
Illinois delegation ? Dolccntos all over the
lloor were on topiotitholr chairs. The band
started to play the now Grover Cleveland

Mr. Collins of Massachusetts , who had
meanwhile"taken tbo chair , put the resolu
tion , prefacing it us follows : "On account
of the modesty oltho , permanent chairman I
have been requested to put this motion. All
In favnr of it will sav aye , those opposed to
it no. The avos have it. "
General Collins now relinquished the
chair , nnd taking the rostrum offered the
following resolution :
Resolved , Th it the democratic nation nl

next national convention the accommoda
tions necessary for the delegates , the ultor-

A great howl of protest wont up from the
galleries against the last cluuso of thu resolu
tion , and cries of "No" 1'ltorrupted the
speaker for a few minutes.
Continuing , General Collins said : "But ,
pardon mo , you uro here solely by our ou-
troatios. "
Almost n Punic.
There WHS a demand for the call of the roll
of states on the resolution. Great confusion
reigned at this Juncluro throughout the con
vention , nearly everybody standing up and
shouting thomsdlvcs hnarso. Tbo delegates
wcro standing in the aisles and upon chairs ,
and many of them had their bats on , appar
ently ready and glad to ao. Whllo
things were In this state there
was a crash , ana tbo nro lights
which had furnished the illumination
for the convention wcro soon descending
upon the heads of the delegates. Something
had given way nbovn and It appeared ns if
the numerous interruptions which had so
ominously occurred at the bnnas of nature ;
were about to bo supplemented by ono great
catastrophe which should wipe out tha whole
national democratic convention of IbllJ.
Thfoa lights immediately over the Now York
delegation came cr.isiilig : aown upon the
heads of the dolepatos. The glebes wcro
broken nnd streams of whlto electricity shot
out from the carbon points. In a twinkling
everyone in the building was on his foot , and
almost ovcryono was making tracks for the
oxlts. Delegates tumbled over ono another ,
each ono striving to cot as faraway from the
Now York delegation as possible nnd in tbo
shot test space of time.
Them Worn n I'cnv Cool Heads.
It scorned us if there were no posslblo
way out of a panic , which must have re
sulted In the loss of perhaps hundreds of
lives. Fortunately , hero and there a cool
bond remained on Its-shoulders , and with
braced muscles n cordpn of bravo men sur-
rouudod the patifo stricken crowd. Tho-
band master appeared to have his nerves
nnd presenceof roj.nd with him , for under
bis direction tW.mu'sio started in with a
lively ulr. CrUflfllof "Sit down , sit

admonitions rom /iljovo thu fearful cries
ol the flying uju tltudo. The police and
the sergeants-at-urnv rallied at once in the
oauso of orciprf iion nnd ivoinon were
seized , and wllh jflo gentle bands were
planted in tholr scats and hold thoro. A
number of tbo dglqpatos seized other 'dolc-
gates and require ) yiom to take their suats.
A w ld suriio of-lyivianlty. which broke over
the newspaper pUorm ; , was promptly mot
by the warriors o tue pencil , and were rolled

her home , 2.J03 Dcoatur street , because lior
parents objcnlcd to her intimacy with Charlie
Burd , n liromun , showed that four people
know thntsho contemplated taking her own
lifo und failed to prevent the dood.
All thn afternoon of t ho day of her death
she had been riding about Council llltilTs and
Oniabii with nnothor tlromnn nnd her friend
Hammti Hughes. She bad boon perfnctly
hnpny , but at the snma time bud announced
her Intention of putting nit end to her life ,
which WHS worthless without her lover.
Early In the ovonmg she had gone Into the
house of the Johnstons , next door , and
showed Mrs. Johnston the vial of poison ,
saying thntsho WAS going lo take it , fur she
could not put up with her 11 fo nl home nny
longer , nnd gave her the lotto.r for Bnrd.
Mrs. Johnston tried to got the vial but
fulled , and promised the girl not to toll nnv-
ono but her husband , When her Inidbnml
came homo she told him , nnd bo w&nt oil
down town to toll Ilurd. On thn way down
ho loll in with Miss Hughes , who was on Iho
sumo ovrand. Burd could not. leave the onLine -
L-ino house , und Johnston and Miss Hughes
went back to the house next door. Nothing
had occurred , nnd after a time Miss Hughus
went over and rappca on Elvu's window ,
calling :
"lilvn , Elvn , don't you do It , don't do it ! "
and Elva answered In n whisper :
"Go uwny , Hannah , father is coming. "
Just then she took the poison which sha
had dissolved in three glassm of wnior.
Other evidence showed thnt the girl wns
very much in love , and parhapi a little too
jealously guarded by her paronli and re
volted against the restraint. In her letter
lo bur lover she wrote :
Do ir Charlie : I am golns to bid you peed
! > yo forever. Alwajs ronmlii us happy as I
WIIH hen with you. Yours. KI.VA.
