Frost Is n school director In district No. 27 , and at the last annual school meet ing , Clark , as a patron of the school , ac cused Frost of falsifying the school records. This evening was the first time they have met since 'the school meeting. Clark went before Justice of the Peace Hlckcy , and swore to an information charging Frost with assaultf with intent to kill. A warrant was placed in an ofllcer's hands , but Fiost eluded him.

Moxt of the Intelligent Voters Are for Mclviiiley. Henry M. Morrow , chief clerk In the office of the county judge , returned yesterday morning from an extended visit with relatives in the south. Mr. Morrow has always been an old line democrat and was the only democrat In the court house out side of the ofllco of the register of deeds , and It has been the custom ot the attaches of the latter olllco to fly to Mr. Morrow for consolation when they were worsted In a political argument. But all is changed now , Mr. Morrow has left the democratic party as was Indicated In his letter which was published In The Bee about two weeks ago. Ho stated yesterday morn ing that the mail which carried the aforesaid letter to the recipient also bore his resignation as a member ot the Jacksonlan club , one of the principal demo cratic organizations. To still further emphasize his determination to leave the old party forever today Mr. Morrow filled out an application for membership In the Young Men's Republican club and handed It to President Winter for presentation to the club. In speaking of the sentiment through the south , as he had observed It , Mr , Morrow said that ho had not been able to discover any indication that the people of the south were falling over one another In their efforts to elect Bryan. The greater part of Mr. Morrow's time was spent in Georgia , near Atlanta , and ho had taken a number of trips to neighboring cities. Ho said he had talked with a large number of intelligent democrats and had found that they were not favorable to tha Chicago platform or the Bryan ticket , and many of them expressed their Intention of voting for McKlnley. Mr. Morrow also said that ho was aware that the Intelligent democrats wcro In the minority In Georgia and that Bryan would probably carry the state , but In his opinion such straws showed that the sentiment was not entirely one-sided.

Although the republican headquarters arc constantly frequented by local republicans and some democrats , nothing new has de veloped In the political situation. The leaders are occupying themselves In per fecting the organization of the local clubs In order that they may bo In a position to do efficient work when the campaign Is actively begun. Local sign painters have contributed a couple of handsome portraits of McKinley and Ilobart , which adorn the walls of the headquarters and attract considerable attention , They are not without genuine ar tistic merit. An effort is being made to take a strong delegation to Lincoln to tha state league convention. It Is expected that from 500 to 1,000 OuiahH republicans will attend if a special train can bo secured. A movement Is also on foot to organize a McKlnloy club without reference to poli tics. A number of the democratic leaders have visited the republican headquaiters and they Infvo urged the county central commit tee to form such an organization. They say that while they do not want to join a re publican club , that If the orgunlzatlpn may simply ho known as a McKlnloy club , they will join It. So many democrats have signi fied their wish to affiliate with such an or ganization that ono will probably bo formed within a few days , It will bo u continuation of the McKlnley club that was formed be fore tlio St. Louis convention , of which Major D.

There was a roiibinc meeting of repub licans la the Sixth waul last evening. Ihc liall at Twenty-fourth and Franklin streets proved all too small to contain tlioso who wcro anxious to enroll themselves as sup porters of McKlnley nnd Ilobart. The re cruits from other pai tics wcro received with open arms , and wcro allowed to vote In the election ot ofllccrs. After a brief contest the following ofllcors were elected for the cn&ulng year : Miles D. Hauck. president ; F. W. Fitch , vice picU- ilent ; Duncan S.

The following commlttco was nppoluted to secure perma nent quarters for the club : Edward Taylor , D. R. Uall and Albert Bugh. The meeting then took up for consideration the Crawford system of conducting primary election , and much Interest was manifested In the explanation ot the system and the discussion that followed. John Wcstberg explained the practical workings of the system and pointed out Its many advantages. Ho said the republican party had always been a party of reform and that It now had an excellent opportunity to make on Im portant addition to Its record. He urged the adoption of the system , because ho be lieved that the chances for the use of cor rupt methods would be lessened , the mem bers of the party would feel better satisfied with the results , while the public at large would feel n great deal more satisfied. There were many Inquiries as to the operation of the systin. and , In the main , the sentiment of the club appeared to be friendly to the adoption of the system. The club unanimously endorsed Charles E. Winter for president of the State League of Republican clubs. The following delegates to the Lincoln meeting of the republicans clubs of Nebraska were then elected : Dclcgates-at-large : H. T. Leavltt. John T. Yatcs and John M. Mc Donald ; delegates : F. S.

' - WYOMING IIUPUIIMCANS FIRM. Furor Free Coinage liut Will Stand liy the Party. Senator F. E. Warren of Wyoming stopped off in this city last evening on his way through. Concerning the political situ ation In his state , the senator said : "A majority of the people ot Wyoming are sliver men regardless of what party they belong to , but the republicans of Wyoming are republicans fiist. Senator Wolcott ex pressed the position of the republicans of my state In his address of yesterday as well as It could bo said. While they are for free coinage , the republicans of Wyoming realize there arc other Issues at stake In this campaign which arc vital to the prosperity of the country. For Instance AVyomlng Is a great sheep raising state and the policy of frco wool has been ruinous to that In dustry. "Above all the general sentiment of the republicans of my state IH that In splto of the democratic platform and the protesta tions of Its candidate , the republican 'party ' Is after all the best friend of silver and It it is ever recognized at the mints of the country again it will be through the medium of the republican party. "Thero have been no defections from the party of prominent workers at least. There are always some changes noted in presi dential years , hut the working force of the party bus remained Intact for the reasons stated. What isolated defections there have been have been made up by accessions from tlio other parties and wo anticipate that McKlnley will carry Wyoming by fully the usual party majority If not a little more. We are surrounded on every side but one by states whoso delegations bolted the St. Louis convention and on that ono side we are up against the populist end of Nebraska , but In spite of this Wyoming will remain steadfast to the republican party.

' ATLANTIC CITY , N. J. , AUG. 1. Contu sion exists hero regarding the oxnct num -A ber of persons killed In the accident of * \ Thursday night. Forty bodies have been n Identified and four unidentified , .but relatives nnd frlvnils of about four others who wcro known to have been on the excursion have not been able to find these persons or to recognize them among the still unidentified. As the wieck has been cleared nway and no additional bodies found the probability Is that they are among these unidentified and that the relatives and fi lends have been unable to recognize them because of their mutilated condition. This would place the total killed at forty-four. The body of Thomas Kelly of Elmer , N. J. , was Identified today. Several of the In- lured are still lying In a critical condition at [ ho sanitarium. Mrs , Fauncc Frallnger ot Philadelphia , whose right leg was amputated yesterday afternoon , Is still very low and Ihcrc Is no hope of her recovery. A young ; woman about ID years old who has been lying senseless at the hospital slnco the acci dent recovered consciousness for a few mo ments this morning , but Is too 111 to admit of questioning as to Her Identity. There la a strong probability that shu Is Miss Lizzies Branln of Mlllvlllo , N. J. , who was knowu to have been on the excursion train , but has not since been heard from. There is much perplexity hero over the dls- _ patch from Mlllvllle to the effect that S. P. . Murphy.yho has been numbered among the dead from the tlmo of the accident , is alive and well at his homo. The body supposed to lie his was identified as such by fully fifteen people. The unidentified arm has been found , to bo a part of the remains of Mrs. Trenchard of Drldgcton. The corpse supposed to bo that of Samuel P. Murphy ot Mlllvllle was today shown to bo the remains of Patrick Welgau , a retired liquor dealer of this city. Frederick Cheyne , one of the Injured , died last evening , and the body was sent homo 4. without proper notification to the coroner. An Impression prevails that the responsi bility for the accident rests upon the dead engineer , Cdwln Farr. There Is no dispute that the signal to come ahead was given to the West Jersey excursion train , and If so\ the danpcr signal must necessarily bo given to the Heading track by an automatic ar rangement. The signals then became locked nnd cannot he released until both trains have cleared the point. Ileforo the signals are manipulated the red signal is constantly displayed on both tracks , indicating to all engineers that they must slow up on approaching preaching the crossing. The theory Is that Farr did not slow up and could not do so la time when ho saw the West Jeisoy train ap proaching. It Is said that Farr had been laid off for two weeks not long ago for not making good tlmo and It Is supposed that ho was trying to male up for his lost tlmo by running at a high rate of speed. The coroner's Inquest will begin at 10:30 : Monday morning and Fireman O'lloulllian ot the Reading train who saved his llfo by Jumping will probably bo the principal wit ness.
