then aroused the five guests of the hotel,

'while two of the villains stood guard,

THIRD PARTY MEETS.
OPENING OF THE NATIONAL
CONVENTION AT OMAHA.
C. II. Ellington or Georgia Made Tem
porary Chairman The Delegates Wel
comed to the City by Mayor BemU
The Proceeding.
Omaha, Neb., July 4. The National
Convention of the People's Independent
party was called to meet at 10 o'clock,
but the delegates were late in getting
into the hall. The Coliseum building,
in which the convention is being held,
seats about twelve thousand persons
and in appearance resembles the Min
neapolis hall. The attendance of visi
tors at the first session was not large,
and, us in Chicago, there were many
unoccupied .scats when the first
session opened. As the hall be
gan to nil a noianie ieaturc
was the presence of many women dele
gates. Charraan Taubeneck, of the
national executive committee, came
upon the platform shortly after 10:30
and entered into consultation with
other leadera By J 1 o'clock the part
of the hall allotted to delegates was
fairly well filled, most of 1,770 dele
gates being present, but in much con
fusion. The gcueral remark was that
it was a fine-looking body of men.
Strong and striking physiogomies
were numerous..
Chairman Taubeneck called the con
vention to order or attempted to do so
at 11:05 oclock. It required ten min
utes to produceorder and Sergeant-at-Arms
L. A. JJeltzer's loud voice was
necessary to make Taubeneck's gavel
effective. As the delegates finally
quieted down it was evident that the
finest delegation was that from Massa
chusetts. Chairman Taubeneck at once
introduced Chaplain Diffenbacker, of
the Nebraska house of representatives,
who made the opening prayer in a
strong, full voice readily heard in all
parts of the hall.
When the chairman introduced Mayor
Bemis, of Omaha, to welcome the dele
gates he was received with hearty
cheers and his speech was frequently
interrupted by loud applause, and it
was evident from the first that the con
vention was destined to be wildly en
thusiastic At the conclusion of the
address the convention gave three
tremendous cheers for the mayor of
Omaha.
Ben S. Terrill of Texas was intro
duced to reply on behalf of the con
vention to Mayor Bemis' address of
welcome. Ue did so in a vigorous and
complimentary speech, whicu was re
ceived with applause at frequent inter
vals- Quoting a statement of Mayor
Bemis that dear gold meant cheap
men, Terrill was greeted with
cheers which were only exceeded
when he pledged the South to vote the
People's party ticket, no matter who
the nominee, as long as he stood
squarely upon the St Louis platform.
His declaration that the new party had
wiped out sectionalism and united the
blue and the gray as no other party
could, was met with applause which
shook the building. As an ex-Confederate
soldier he declared that the new
party made him feel as much at home
in Nebraska as in Texas.
Chairman Taubeneck then intro
duced as temporary chairman C 11.
Ellington of Georgia and surrendered
the gavel to him. J. W. Hayes of New
Jersey was made temporary secretary,
with C. P. Carpenter of Minnesota and
Jesse Poundstonc of California
assistants. Mr. Ellington pro
ceeded in a somewhat labored
manner to deliver a pondrous address
which was only finished by a final re
sort to manuscript, to which the speaker
closely and awkwardly cyjn fined him
self. The convention began to give
evidences of weariness and impatience
as the long-drawn-out and platitudin
ous speech wearied on. Even the en
thusiasm of the convention was hardly
equal to stirring applause for .Elling
ton's disjointed harangue.
A motion was then made by a dele
gate from New Hampshire to take a re
cess until 1:30. This was amended to
2 o'clock, but before the motion was
put it was announced by Vandervoort,
of Nebraska, that there would be a re
union to-night of the "blue and gray"
which was received with prolonged
cheers. A distribution of -a. latge
quantity of mail was made to dele
gates from the stage and when the mo
tion for recess till 2 this afternoon was
put and lost.
A motion was thin made to appoint
a committee of one from each State on
permanent organization aud one from
each State on rules. The convention
at once proceeded to qall of States for
committees. At 1 o'clocl' the conven
tion took a recess for one I .ur.
The most important step taken by
the leaders this morning was the send
ing of a telegram signed by Ben S.
Terrill, Chairman Taubeneck and '
others, to Judge Gresham, asking him
to state whether or not he would ac
cept a nomination for President from
this convention. At noon a telegram
came from Judge Gresham's son
stating that his father would be home
at fi p. m. and would then send a
definite answer. It is said on good au
thority that if the answer is favorable
Gen. J. B. Weaver of Iowa will himself
place Gresham in nomination. The
Gresham men continue confident that
he will accept, and assert that they
know what they arc talking about and
are not guessing.

Mr. Bynum of Indiana offered a res
olution that the conferrees be in

enues of the District, after the guaran
tee fund raised by the citizens of Wash

a resolution providing that some day in
July, not named, the Speaker shall en

Lima, Ohio, July 4. An attempt was
made last night near here to wreck the
east-bound Wells-Fargo express train
on the Chicago & Erie road, which
was laden with a cargo of more than
usual value. The motive was robbery.
The following persons were injured:
IlANSiiAN, V . P., 2318 Indiana avenue, Chi
cago: lc and back hurt
JtANSEMAN, J. 0.,:H9 Michigan avenue. Chi
cago: rib broken and right shoulder bruKed.

Train No. 14 is due at Markle, Ind.,
at 8:10 p. in., and left here on time
last night. When two miles east of
here and running at the rate of fifty
miles an hour the engineer discovered
two ties laid across the track He ap
plied the brakes, but the engine
struck the ties and left the track,
followed' by ten coaches. En
gineer Foley and his fireman
jumped and escaped with slight in
juries. Conductor Strader telegraphed
to Huntington and another engine and
some baggage and express cars were
sent from Huntington, aud with the
two cars that had not left the track,
?' train left Markle eleven hours late.
TKere is nb question but the ties were
placed on the track by men who in
tended to wreck the train and then rob
it. Some time ago ties were placed on
the tracks near the same place, but
they were discovered before the ex
press train reached them.

farther behind than Yale was left last
year, and that is saying a great deal.

Hardin, a travel inir salesman for a St
Louis nouse through this section, and
Miss Mamie Small, of Elkton, a mem
ber of one of th'e best families of
Southern Kentucky, very pretty and
quite popular, were wedded at the
Arlington hotel last night. As the
pair had run away from the home of
the bride's parents, and, fearing if
they waited until daylight to get mar

out, the Rev. Collins Denny of the
Methodist church was aroused from
slumber with the request to marry

morning the dead body of William
Ford was found at the house of Mrs.
Mary Ann Fisher, 38 Pitts street,
where he was a man of all
work. The body was entirely nude
and the face and body were baldly
bruised. It was rumored that there
had been a fight in the place the night
before. Medical Examiner Harris
found that the man's skull was frac
tured and that there had been a hemor
rhage of the intestines, which might
have been caused by a kick. Mrs.
Fisher, who keeps the house, was ar

with Ford's death, and Lena Rivers,
Rilla Cumraings and Anna Leary, in
mates of the house, are held as wit

ASHORE ON THE BOCKS
PASSENGERS OP THE WRECKED
CITY OF CHICAGO LANDED.
Only One Seaman Injured Some Doubts
as to Whether the Boat Can Be Got
Oft Safely The Wreck. Blight Have
Beea a Fearfal Disaster.
London-, July 4. Not a life was lost
by the disaster to the Inman Line
steamship City of Chicago, which went
ashore during a dense fog, inside Kin
aale Head, on the Irish coast All her
passengers have been landed in safety,
and the officers hope to save the vessel
and cargo. The vessel struck head
on, and only her forward portion
is on the rocks. The stea'in
ship's propeller was worked ahead
throughout the night to prevent her
drifting off the rock on which her stern
was caught; otherwise she must have
foundeied, as her forward compart
ments are reported completely stove in.
Signals of distress were fired immedi
ately after the v. .s.m-1 struck. The first
response was from the Kinsale coast
guards. Upon arrival " on the
cliff which overhangs the beach
opposite the rock where the
City of Chicago struck the
coastguards fired a rocket over the
wreck. The &im was true, but too
short, and the rocket struck among the
crew, who were gathered on deck, aud
knocked down one of the sailors. The
man had his arm broken, but was not
otherwise seriously injured. The rope
thus thrown to the beleaguered vessel
enabled the lifeboats to be quickly
brought into use and the passengers
were transferred to the beach as
speedily as possible and with as little
discomfort as ever attends such excit
ing experiences.
An examination of the City of Chi
cago this morning shows that the
steamer is nearly on the ledge and lists
to the starboard. She is bumping
heavily. The crew is on board aud the
Liverpool ofiiciulssay that they expect
the vessel to float to-night The cargo
of the City of Chicago is very valuable,
including a vast quantity of wheat and
dead meat
New Yokk, July 4 Dispatches from
Queenstown to the Inman Line officers
here sayfthat all the passengers, mails
and baggage of the City of Chicago
have been landed. Peter Wright said:
"As far aswe can see, the steamship is
not so very badly hurt I don't know
how long it will be before she will be
in condition to go to sea again. 1 don't
think it will be long, however, I don't
know how much it will cost to repair
her or how long it will take, but I
don't think it will either cost very
much or take very long.
The City of Chicago had a full cabin
list. Among the passengers were
George Sweeney, O'Neill Kyan and M.
D. Gallagher, three of the peace com
missioners sent abroad by the Irish
National League executive boar-.l to
try to make peace between the oppos
ing factions of the nationalist party.
Bayard Stockton and his family of
Providence were also on board, as were
many other well known persons.
ANOTHER KIOT AT WATKRFORD.
McCarthylte Committee Boom luvaded
by Parnellltes.
Dublix, July 4 At Waterford last
night a riot occurred after two politi
cal meetings had been held. John Red
mond had addressed the Parnellite
meeting and Dave Sheeny the anti
Parnellite gathering. The meetings
were not disorderly, but afterward the
Parnellites attacked Sherhy's commit
tee room and after a desperate fight
captured it, despite the assistance
rendered JUy the police to the anti-Par-nelhtes.
Many were wounded in the
fray, including Mr. Sheehy, who re
ceived several iniuries. A number pf
arrests have been made.
A THOUSAND MEN ON GUARD
All Approaches to the Hljj Steel
Mills
at Pittsburg Are Blocked.
Pittskuro, Pa., July 4- Fully 1,000
men were on guard all of last night in
Homestead and Munhall and around
the Carnegie steel works. There is no
possible approach to the town and
mills that is not stroncrly guarded,
and the "dead lines" are drawn
clear around the fifty acres of
mill yard. No one can pass through
the dead lines unless he has business
of his own that takes him that way,
and even then if he is not a mill worker
of some sort or a resident of the town
he cannot pass.
To-day the men are receiving their
pay and notices of discharge. The
best of order prevails and no trouble is
apprehended. There is nothing new
in the iron scale solution. No more
signatures have been received and no
important change in the condition of
affairs is looked for before the scale
conference next Wednesday.
AGAIN AFTER GARZA.
doited States Troops Get Wind or the
Revolutionists In Texas.
Galveston. Tex., July 4. A special
to the News from Carhiso, Tex., under
date of June 24, says:
"A company of infantry and a troop
of cavalry, under command of Capt
Wheeler, were are Ramierno ranch
scouting, advices having been sent to
Post Ringgold that some Garza men
were in the vicinity. There seems to
be a general understanding that there
are a great many revolutionists in
awaiting an opportunity to try and do
some, and th-.y are encouraged by a
strong anti-Diaz element in Mexico.
1Vonld-Be Lynchers Foiled.
Portland, Ore., July 4. Shortly be
fore midnight a mob of about 200 men

lage, six inib'S distant, and proceeding
to the county jail demanded that
the Sheriff surrender George Wilson,
who is confined for assaulting and
murdering 1" yerr-old Mamie Walsh,
at Milwaukee a week ago. About 2,00
people were attracted to the scene and
the leadors atft pted to break in the
jail, but the p- ce force -which is on
guard (drew their revolvers and re
pulsed the mob. The leaders with
drew to hold a consultation and it is
probable that they will make another
attempt on the jail,
Deficit Wlir Keach' SfiOO.OOO.
Buffalo, July 4. It is now said the
deficit in the National Savings bank is
pretty certain to reach if not surpass
$500,000, and that there is no prob
ability of the bank's resuming
business. The most remarkable
case in connection with the swindle is
that of a woman who is said to have a
pass book calling for $90,000, while the
bank's books credit her with only a
few hundred dollars. The official
statement of the liabilities of the bank
will come out in court next Tuesday,
