AQM'INISTFATION DEM0CRAT& Telecram From Socretary Carliale Read to she.Ceaventiem CleyetaaJra Adaafaietr . Uea jrraleed and the Platform of 1893 W ReaBiriaed. Supreme Jndge.. UBiTenity Begents....... ,..T. J. Uxhomt i W. H. ASHBT John H. Ames Llncolx, Sept. 7. When State Chair man Euclid .Martin of Qmaha called the -atoond Nebraska Democratic state con vention to order Thursday 631 delegates 'greeted him with applause. Every ut terance in favor of a national currency in which gold is the basic principle was as vociferously" cheered as the mention of free silver in the convention of the other wing of the' party last month.- The chair first, announced -that he had received a telegram from. Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle, which he would read. The message, a brief" one," was to" the effect that it had. been impossible for him to accept the cordial invitation to meet with' the- convention, and that. owing to the 'immediate stress of b'usi- j ness ic was equally uupussiuitt iut mm . to' dictate ail extended letter. The mes sage, however" created a -great deal of enthusiasm and the signature of 'John G. Carlisle evoked' another Deniocratiu' outburst. , . "The call was read by Secretary "J. B. 'Sh'eean, and Chairman Martin answered that in-aceordaiice with tire custom of past-Democratic state conventions, ho would name R. S. Bibb of Beatrice as temporary chairman and C. M.Hueb ner of Nebraska City as temporary soc retary.' Tlie recommendation was Unanimously ratified by the convention, and Bibb was introduced amid a sto;m of cheers. Bibb said that in addition to honest ' money, tariff reform and the' greatest good for the greatest number, the genuine Democratic party, whose representatives were before him, stood .for everything' tha't-was good: - . On motion llie chair appointed committees-on credentials and permanent organization. The chairman -of the com mittee on credentials reported, that there were no contests and that every, county in the state was represented. On mo tion the readingof the list of delegates was dispensed with. The committee on permanent' organization recommended that the temporary organization l)e made permanent, with the addition of Ed McCulloch of Butler county, as as sistant secretary. Platform a Adopted. Tho report of tho resolution commit tee was greeted with .repeated applause.. There was no minority report. These resolutions were adopted with enthus iasm: The Democracy of Nebraska, in conven tion assembled, congratulates the country upon the sure sijjns of reuniting prosper ity. In spire of the evil predictions alike of protectionists and silver inflationists, tho couutry is steadily and surely gaiuing ground, thus justifying the wisdom of tho reversal of the Republican policies of pro tective tariff, taxes and coiuage of h re dundant quantity of -token dollars. Tho fact that the wheels of industry so long silenced as a eo'uscqueufceof these policies by a long anil depressing panic have re sumed their wonted motion ulid that more than' 300,000 laborers are receiving tho large increase in wages of 12 pejr cent proves this assertion. We send greet ing and t-bngrntulat ions to Grovcr Cleveland and Ids cabinet, not only for their wixo mid prudent course, which has aided so jnuch iu bringing about the better liuaucial condition, but also for their firm, ami fearless adherence throughout tho long depression to sound principles of economics, for their unswerv ing fidelity in upholding and protecting .the honor and iutegrity of the nation against organized mob violence. Wo indorse tho national Democratic platform of 1S1 and the interpretation placed, thereon by the president, and we declare ourselves unequivocally and nn-reservedly-for that metallic money as the standard mintage, the bullion and mint value of which are :jpproximately tho same, the pnrcha-iug power of which, re gardless of government mintage, is the least lluctu.'diiig iu all the markets of the civilized world. Wo insist upon this policy as esj)ecially necessary for the pro tection of ilie farmers, laborers and prop erty owning -debtors, tho most defenseless victims of unstable money and fluctuat ing currency. Free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 means h poorer money and less of it; it meahs. less wages for tho laboring man and less actual money for the busi ness man; it means bankruptcy for all save the mine owner. We recognize iu tho issuo and reissue. of our treasury notes a serious menace to the stability of the national finances, and we favor the retirement of all treasury notes at the soonest Hssiblo moment, .with proper and safe guarantees for maiutnin ing the necessary volume of currency, which shall be devised by H competent and nonpartisan currency commission. The constitution of this state provides that no religious test shall be made as a qualification for office. That provision we accept, both iu the letter and spirit, and we condemn every attempt by secret societies or otherwise to proscribe any portion of our citizens on account of their religious belief or affiliations. Mahoaey Nominated For Judge. Following -numerous brief speeches on the platform the following nominations were made: Supreme judge, T. J. Ma honey; regents state university, W. H. Ashby, James B. Ames. After speeches of acceptance, tho con vention adjourned until evening," when Congressman M. D. Harter of Ohio was. introduced. The speaker said that. the platform" " adopted by the convention would be hailed with delight wherever read all over the country. Gold lieterve Depleted 81,200,000. Washixgto:.-, Sept. 10. The gold re serve was further depleted Monday by the loss of $1,200,000. withdrawn for ex port from, tho New' York subtreasury. This left the reserve at the close of busi ness $97,710,772. The treasury officials -have received no information -of con templated gold deposits by New York banks as reported," yet they ' have no doubt, that' the syndicate, very soon will make good the losses below $100000,000. .For this'reason, when questioned, they say they have no apprehensions. . KI'ER HARDIE 1.EFT THE HALL. "Eatfliah Iher -Leader Shocks Chlca Mtalste'rs. Chicago", Sept. lO.-rKier Hardie; the English laoor leader,- sadly disturbed the usually -sedate weetkly meeting of; the Methodist, clergymen today by a -red hot so cialistic speech, and was greeted with such a storm of ministerial dis approval that 'he was compelled to abandon the floor. Hardie had been invited to 'address the preachers, And -with several local socialists,- .attend ed the meeting. The Englishman proceeded to air kieb Hardie. his Views, loudly applauded by his friends, and finally bit-J .terry denounced the 'execution of the Chicago anarchists, and eulogized them as pioneers, in the new religion. -The -atorra which greeted the statement- al caost carried Hardie off his feet. A half itimi,m& 'MswtiUr' 'r WWp- I doaen preachers at a time bitterly de nounced tne sentimants cxpresww, una the speaker was compelled to sit down. Tho ministers then proceeded with a scathing denunciation of speech and speaker, and Hardie left much offended. GREETED TftEIR COMMANDER. Advent af Geaeral Utwlrr the tiret Eveat of the KaelmiMMat. Louisville, Sept.. JO. The. 29th en campment of the G. A.B, was opened with a parade on the. arrival of Commander-in-Chief Lawler and staff at 7 :30 a. m. General Lawler and the Colum bian post of Chicago and other organ' . zations on the escort special Monon train were met at the Union depot by members of the committee on invitation and reception in carriages. The Ken tucky National Guard, local posts and other civic organizations were formed on Broadway, awaiting arrival of the special 'train, which was on time to the satisfaction of the multitude assembled along the line of march, from the Union -depot to the Gault house. While the reception of the comman-, der-in-chief and bis staff was the most imposing event of -the day, the recep tions at the depots of G. 'A.-R, posts and veterans arriving in other groups were equally interesting. Probably the most important business that will be transacted at the present encampment will be the joining-of the Woman's Relief corps' and the Ladies' of 'the Grand Army of the Republic in one order.. While it hasnot been fuliy determined to do this, it will be reepm jnended'nud the sentiment in- its favor is such that there is hardly a doubt of. the consummation of the plan. . SUGAR BOUNTY QCTESTION. Will Undoubtedly Go to the Supreme Court For Final Adjudication. Washington, Sept. 7. There seems to be no doubt that' the Oxnard n'gar bounty question,' which was yesterday decided by 'Comptroller Bowler 'adverse ly to tho Oxnard company on constitu tional grounds, will go to .the supreme court of-the Uuited States for final-determination. Within the next few days Secretary Carlisle will - certify the case to the conrt of claims, under section 103 of the Revised Statutes, stating -.to-the court that it is alleged by the claimants that a right under the constitution has been denied them, -and asking that.as greatpnblic interests are involved, the court pass upon the mutter at- an early day. It is the general expectation that both parties will be ready early in Nor veniber. Whatever the decision, the case undoubtedly will be appealed to the supreme court. The government, it is said would not rest ou an adverse de cision, and it is equally certain that the claimants would not. In the meantime, all the claims for bounty under the ap propriation will be held up .pending a final determination by the supreme court of the question of the constitutionality of the appropriation. DEFENDER PROVES HER TITLE. Crossed the Line Almost Nine ' Minutes Ahead of .Valkyrie III. New YoitK.'Sept. 7. Defender won her name in fine fashion, finishing far ahead of the English challenger, Val kyrie III, and giving every evidence, of outclassing the-Dunraven boat in al most any kind of weather. There 'were strange features connected with the race for the America's cup, not the least being the general doubt expressed dur ing the first H.rniles of the course as to Which was in the lead. It was nip and ruck from the first, gun signal until within a short distance of the mark, and then Defender- caught the breeze, and to the delight of thousands simply sailed away from her rival. From that moment she went on increasing her lead to the end, winuiug by the surprising margin of 8 minutes and .49 seconds. NEWS OF NEBRASKA. Nebraska' 'White City Opened. O.haha, Sept. 7.

A frightful accident resulting in-the death' of four persons occurred at Specht's 'Ferry, a small station on the Milwaukee road 13 miles above Dubuque. Ia. A. Kirschner of Fountain City has the contract of putting wing dams in the river and has a large force of men employed. . These men boarded in a large shanty run by Edward Latshaw, whose home was in Victory, Wis. . Sunday morning. Fore man C, H. Owens was passing the build ing when he noticed one ofthe'Lat ahaws firing a rifle near-the house, which raised near the ground, and 'un der it a large amount of dynamite was stored. Owens pointed oat the. dangt of an explosion and the lad promised to stop firing the gun. . Owens . passed along and had got about 60 feet, when the gun was fired again .and an. -explosion of dynamite followed. There were even persons in the buildiug, which' was blown to atoms. Of the seven four were killed, also the 'boy outside who -fired the fatal shot. The killed .were: " 'Edward "Latshaw. Charity Latshaw. his wife. - ". Ray Latshaw, his son, "aged 12. Mat 'Latshaw, his sou, aged 8.- . Hans Bjokksten of LaCrossa. . The-injnred: "..', - Mabel Latshaw, aged 15, hadh'sr skull fractured.- . Mat Paber of Wabash, suffered severe contusion's. - Ed Bench of Lansing, had his eye blown out and sustained other severe injuries: A little girl, aged 5, standing outside,' had her clothing entirely stripped from her, bnt was not injured. Word was telegraphed to Dubuque! and in a short time several, doctors were'ou a special train which made the 13 miles in' 13 minutes. . "The injured "were brought to the city and placed in a hospital. -It is thought one of the men and the girl will recover. . - "" The scene of the explosion is a little hamlet containing only a hotel, depot, ' warehouse and a 'few shanties. The force of tho explosion tore a.hole.15 feet deep 'in the solid rock, wrecked the building above it and '- damaged nearly every other building in -the place The mother, two daughters and younger son were found in the wrecked house. The baby girl was lying across her mother's dead and mutilated body crying pite ously for her. Latshaw's .body was found 200 yards away, his head .buried in the earth. The boy who' did th shooting was thrown over the tops of high trees, falling to the earth a shape less, unrecognizable .mass. Hans Bjornstadr's body' was found 100 feet from the building, every- bone broken and his body bruised and blackened. The mother's head was crushed, to a jelly, while her body bore no' marks of the terrible explosion. In Specht's hotel" every window was shattered and' the building otherwise damaged. The side .-.'of . the warehouse caved in and a smaller building uear. it was unroofed. Barges moored on 'the opposite side of the river were so much damaged by. the concussion that it is feared they may sink. The hamlet has every appearance of "being struck by a cyclone, there being scarcely a sound building left. The. noise of the. explo sion was heard at Plnttville, Wis., 10 miles away and parties six miles up the. river thought a steamboat "had burst her boiler. Every boat and train that could. be had Sunday -was- busy carrying peo--pie to the scene- and during the day thousands were' there. The' wounded people in hospitals at Dubuque are doing well. The bodies of the dead were brought to Dubuque. Coroner Gregoie is holding an .inquest. Xlas'onlo Temple. Burned. Boston, Sept. & Masonic Temple, one of the finest Masonic buildings in the United States," was almost entirely destroyed by fire today. The building was magnificently fiuisbed and the loss will probably reach $400,000. The'fire was discovered by a passerby at 10:05 and a few moments later an alarm was given from box 53, being noted as lo cated in one of the most dangerous fire districts in the city. At almost the same time an alarm was sent in from box 12, in the Parker House, and all "the fire apparatus down town hurried to the scene. The blaze proved to be trivial, but the confusion resulting from the al most simultaneous alarms gave the fire in the Temple a good start before" the apparatus arrived. District Chief Rea gan", who was on top of the' tower on the Tremout street side of' the building, found the flames curling up around' him and was forced to -jump to' the roof, al most 20 feet below. He escaped uuiu jured. About the same time a tube on chemical engiue Nd." . 2 ' exploded, and Lieutenant Madden, who was working oa the euginerwas thrown to the ground and probably fatally injnred.

The object of "this- systeui is to place. a nnmlier of leading, private teach ers through the west' upon a basis of eo "operation with the Western Conserv atory such teachers to. constitute. the "Inter-State Faculty." Tho plan upon which the system ia conducted enables such teachers .to place before their pu pils advantages - and incentives -which have heretofore been iniossible to pri vate teachers.. Thus "the Western Con servatory is enabled through the Inter State Faculty to inspire and benefit hundreds of pupils at their homes, who for various reasons could never go abroad to attend such an institution.
