and for many anxious minutes to hundreds
In the liupo muslo hall the convention seemed
About to break to pieces In riot and blood
shed.
The extraordinary tumult took place with
scarcely a moment's warning. Scarcely
had delegates to the convention re
sumed their seats after a short re
cess when , the credentials committee was
announced as ready to present Its final ro
port. The first portion of the committee's
report elicited little interest. It consisted
merely of recommendations for admitting to
the convention representatives from a num
ber of organizations that had been over
looked the Central Labor excnango , a now
order of anti-monopolist * , International As-
loclatloa of Mechanics , International Mlno
Warners , Central Lubor Unioc of St. Louis ,
and the Central Labor Union of Springfield ,
Mo.
Then the Trouble. Commenced.
Then came the dynamite. It wn the In
stant , though Indirect projection into the con
vention of an Issue for or against , Immediate
steps toward a third party presidential
tlcliot. The question woi brought nome to
the men from the solid south , the occasion of
all the trouble being nothing loss than a de
cision of the credentials committed seating
the two contesting or pro-third party dele
gates from the state of Georgia. The secre
tary , oblivious of danger , was jauntily reading -
ing to the convention that the committed had
concluded to seat C. C. Post , W. R. Kemp ,
C. H. Moses , W. H. Wilson and M. L.
Palmer , a division of the delegation between
the contesting elements.
Era the last name had loft tbo reader's lips
nandomoniutn broke loose. Not only the 1m-
.mediately Interested person , but delegates all
over the hall began to yell , some for recogni
tion , some In condemnation of , and others In
approval of the rouort. Amid It
nil Chalrmnn Polk sat , grimly
conscious of human inability to
Blny the uproar. In n momentary sorn-
blauce of order hn recognized Moses of
Georgia , an anti-third parly man , who
raised the point that the stuto gathering
which had selected his delegation had given
it instructions thai It should vote as a unit
on all matters. By the rouort of too creden
tials committee two strange new delegates
had now been placed In the delegation. Ho
wanted to know if they were there with the
understanding that they wore to submit to
the unit rule. Assuming that ttioy were , ho
moved that the convention accept tbo report
with that understanding.
lion lull I.lko Coiimnclio * .
In a twinkling Post , ono of the contesting
dblogates. was on his fcol. He was hero , ho
said , as a dclogato chosen oy the state alll
nnco ; Moses by the oxecutlvo committee.
Ho was hero in tha interest , of harmony ,
while that which Moses sought was in ttun
arms of the democrats. Nlnotoon-twenttolhs
of the stata alliance of Georgia was in favor
of Independent political action , and the small
faction represented by the other wing was
undorservltig of consideration "Congress
man Llvingstoo , " fairly shrieked the
Speaker , whllo the convention howled like
Comanches , "had himself declared in favor
of selecting the delegates all of ono opinion
or the other , and then had chosen a set of
men whoso plan and purpose it was , as it
was Livingston's own , to act with the demo
cratic party , to betray the alllauco to that
party , delivering tbo nlllancn bound hand mid
foot to the old democratic rlug. The noted
alllnnco cocgxmman thus scorcblngly de
nounced , was sitting scatcely a dozen foot
from tbo stand , whlto with , suppressed
emotion.
Yelled itt the Tup of Ills Voice.
Qrant of Georgia , the other antl , yollea at
the top of his voice , declared iho Livingston
men had boon willing to lot the other sldo
come In providing thov wore tlua hand and
foot. Ho dramatically untuned and flung
over the heads of delegates a twenty-foot
long manuscript roll , of what ho shouted
wcro endorsements of the Independent move
mcnt by the Georgia reform press , in con
trast with a patch of paper a foot square con
taining all the endorsement of the other side.
Tbo uproar Increased unceasingly ; dele
gates wore slinking their fists In each other's
faces , and ibo chairman's gavel , as It fell
upon tbo table , produced no moro effect than
a pin drop. The appearance of Geary Drown
of Massachusetts , chairman of tbo committee
on credentials , was for a moment moro
olTootlve , the contending factions stopping to
catch from whut ho might say a possible ad
vantage to their sldo. Ho stated that the
credentials commlttoo In Its deliberations nad
decided to recognize the real seat , of the
alliance In the state of Georgia , In accord-
nnco with which they had found three mon
entitled to seaU. There were thus two
vacancies , and In the interest of peace these
had been tilled by selection from the oppos
ing force. It was not a question of old
political parties , ho said , but a fusion of har
mony hero , and the eonforonco must keep In
the middle of the road. Ho pleaded with the
convention to rccogimo that this was the
jmrooso of the gathering. The committee in
its action was not bound by tho'conditions
surrounding any section. H acted as fairly
a * It know how , and the Internal dissensions
ho felt had boon loft to the Georgians to settle -
tlo among themselves ,
IlUiet uml Cutcalli.
At this point a Now Yont delegate edged
in n point of order that the mooting to adopt
the credentials report with the understand
ing that tbo Georgia delegation was to act as
a unit was not proper. Inasmuch ax the con
vention nad no authority of the kind.
The chair decided the point well tauon.
Then came a new motion 10 adopt the reporl
and the tight was renewed ,
Moses of Georala took the Hoar once moro.
llu began ; "If those delegates accept tbia
report then I am hero merely as a delegate
pionarcd to act as such and not as the envoy
of the enemies of our movement , " Ho de
clared himself ordinarily a democrat , but
now an alliance man , and predicted that 1
this quarrel went much further the demo
crats would as of old have the state of
Georgia In their power , splitting thoalllanco.
Hisses and cries of uorlslou drowned the
concluding words of the speaker.
Condition Helgncd.

fully live minutes , Chairman Polk all the
while pounding the table with bis gave ) . At
length Klllngtoa of Georgia , from a high
perch , made his sonorous voTco barely audlblo
to those nearest him. Ho declared that the
executive commlttoo of the Georgia alllanca
had tried to thwart the will of the
people in order to got the stats more
completely in iho hands of democrats.
/Further words wore drowned by a commotion -

Tbo proper motions were put. and the ro

DOINGS 01' Till : DAY.
Much Vigorous nrtort on the I'nrt of Those
Who Lend 1'nt I'orlh.
ST. Lout , Mo. , Feb. 20. When the Indus-
rial conference opnncd this morning Chair
man Connor staled that if anybody was not
present for harmonious action they might got
out of the way or bo stepped upon. Ho then
mnounced that the committee on credentials
lad been In session all night and was now
ready to present a partial report ,
The report recommended the seating of 240
delegates from the Farmers' Alliance and
Industrial Union , 65 from the Farmers'
Mutual Bonellt association , 82 from the
Knights of Labor. 07 from the Notional
farmers' alliance , 25 from the National
-linens' alliance , OT from the Colored
[ 'armors' Mutual Benefit association , 27 from
Lho National Citizens' Independent alliance ,
35 from the Patrons of Industry , S3 from
the Patron * of Husbandry , a total
of 077. The Farmers alliance was given 25
uelogatcs-at-largo , and thirteen minor de
tached organizations and Individuals were
glvon a representation of 58.
Ignatius Donnelly moved an amendment
that. Miss Frances Wlllard , Lady somerset ,
Clark Hoffman and F. II. Ingalls bo seated
as delegate's representing the National
Woman's Christian Temperance union. Hoth
the amendments and
tha report were
adopted.
It was resolved during the recess that the
committee on platform bo appointed on a
compromise basis. The plan was to give each
national organization three representative * on
the platform committee and each state ono
representative.
General Weaver moved the election of
President Polk of the Farmers alliance as
permanent chalrnnn of the convention and
the motion was can led unanimously.
Polk rnriimiicnt Chilrmnn.
In an Instant Powdorly of the Knights of
Labor was on his foot , hotly protesting that
the proceedings were irregular. Others
added their protest and an Illinois delegate
made a motion for the reconsideration of the
election of Polk. The motion was promptly
carried. It was decided that the vote ho by
states instead of by organizations and Polk
was unanimously elected.
Polk announced that tbo noxtorder of busi
ness wns the election of vlco presidents and
other onicors.
Miss Frances Wlllard and Bon Terrell of
Texas were elected vice presidents ; John W.
Hayes of the Knights of Labor was mauo sec
retary , and Warwick , a colored delegate
from Virginia , assistant sccrotarv.
While a motion by Simpson of Kansas to
adjourn for two hours wns pending , Dr. Mo-
Cuno read a telegram from Messrs. Whlta-
ker and Davis urging the conference to
adopt a resolution asking congress ( o pass
the anti-option bill. McCuno made a motion
that n special committee be appointed , but
llnally a recess of thirty minutes was so-
cureil with the understanding that a commit
tee bo appointed.
At nninformalconferencoof prominent pro
hibitionists this morning Chairman Dleklo
and Miss Wlllard united In a resolution to
the elToct that , as a party , the prohibitionists
could treat only with political forces
that declare "for the same principles.
This Miss Willard explained , does not in
the least Interfere with the efforts being put
forth by harself and other prohibitionists , as
Individuals , to secure such declarations from
tbo industrial conference as may servo as a
basis for future united political action among
the labor aud temperance reformers.
Precipitated n Itotr.
The third party light in dead earnest was
suddenly thrown into the convention by the
committee ou credentials seating Post and
Branch , the two third party doUgatos whom
It was sought to shut out. Post , in n general
scramble for the floor , got in first , and in the
bitterest speech heard In the convention de
nounced Congressman Livingston of Georgia
as attempting to hand over the alllnnco in
that state Dound hand and foot to the demo
cratic party. The excitement caused by this
accusation was intense , and scores of the
delegates were running about and waving
their hands Ilka so many bedlamites. After
on exchange of hot personalities and extra
ordinary confusion , puiticipatod in by Moses
of Georgia , Ellington , Branch and others ,
the report of the committee was finally
adopted by a large majority a substantial
triumph for the third partyitos.
Georgia Dilegateit right.
The row among the Georgians continued
for fully an hour , and was only ended by Iho
sorgount-nt-anns , club in had , forcibly lam
ming the warring southerners down hi their
seats.
seats.Vhon quiet had boon moasureably restored
the long list of members of the platform
committee was llnally completed and road ,
making n total of ncurlv l ! > u members.
The announcement of Post as the platform
commlttceman from Georgia nearly started a
personal cnconnter between him and Moses ,
a fellow Georgian. The convention as a
whole was now thoroughly disgusted wltn
the Georgians and plainly showed It with
hisses and catcalls. Jerry Simpson turned
the wbolo dispute into ridicule by suggest
ing that half the Georgia delegates oo appor
tioned to Alaska to give them a chance to
cool off.
A colored delegate outdid the "sockloss
ICansan" In affording needed relaxation for
the convention. Standing up on a railing
the rolored brother started the delivery of a
flowery oration with which ho had plainly
long been burdened. Astronomy and politics
and a Hundred otiier heterogeneous subjects
were delightfully mixed , and when bo bad
concluded a twenty minutes , ' bowlldoringly
rambling talk. Secretary Hayns came for
ward with a statement that brought out
audible sighs of relief and many cheers. It
was that the Georgians had at last settled
their light. Post being made platform repre
sentative from Georgia , and Wilson , an anil-
third party man , the Georgia member of the
anti-option commlttoo.
Sprung the Mibtreatmry Scheme.
The breath of the delegates was taken
away later on by Willots of Kansas , national
lecturer of the farmers alliance , when , after
a half hour's roll calllne , the special commlt
too was complete to frame the proposed reso
lution asking of eongrons the passage of an
anti-option law , Wlllets moved that tno con
vention demand the passage of. the sub-
treasury bill as a means of.rollof for tbo
people Instead of petitioning the Washing
ton solons to ouact the proposed antl option
law.
Wheat , lecturer of the Knights of Labor ,
was the first of tbo delegates to pull himself
together. Ho moved to lay Wlllets' motion
on the table , and on a vote the subtroasury
substltuto was snowed under.
Kelly of Kansas , undaunted by iho fate of
WillolJ , sprung an Idea from iho Sunflower
stalo. Ho offered a resolution that the ap
propriation pending in congress for a perma
nent census bureau bo endorsed if provision
were made for continuing the investigation
of farm mortgages as a permanent part of
the work of the bureau.
Jerry Simpson warmly championed Kelly's
motion and Simpson's efforts were heartily
seconded by Congressman Livingston of
Georgia.
With Tfiiri hi IIU Voice.
Livingston seized the opportunity whllo
upon his feet to repel earnestly , almost tear
fully , the accusation that bo ever wrote or
uttered cue word favoring turning the
Georgia alliance Into the democratic ramp ,

people they all represented that bygones bo
dropped and there bo union und'harmony.
Livingston's reply to the charges against
him was well received and ho was ascorded
generous applause from all parts of the
nouso.
Between Llvlniton and Simpson pulling
together tne con veution , after some desultory
discussion adopted the census resolution by
an emphatic voto. the only resolution it after
wards proved that would bo adopted by the
convention without previous roferouco to the
platform commlttoo. Gossip that the two
noted Indepoudent congressmen ivere uol

Interstate Commerce Decision.
The Interstate Commerce commission to
day announced its decision in two cases in
opinions by Commissioner Knapp. One is the
case of William H. Harvey against the Louis-
vlllo & Nnshvlllo railway , Involving Ihe glv-
Ine of free passes and free transportation ,
and the commission decides that the action
of defendant in Granting to members of the
city council of Now Orleans and the clerk of
that body , on account of their official posi
tions , free transportation violates tbo act to
rogulalo commerce and is unlawful. The order
dor of the commission is that the Louisville
& Nashville company forthwith desist from
granting free passes ever its interstate lines
except as provided in the twenty-second sec
tion of the act.
The other case rolales to rates on butter in
loss than carloads from Lincoln , Kan. , to
Denver , Colo. , and is ontttlcd the Lincoln
Creamery against iho Union Pacific railway.
The line between these points runs through
a sparsely populated country , furnishing
comparatively little business to the carrier.
The decision is that tuo charge complained of
Is not shown to bo unreasonable , nor does
the evidence furnish suiliclent reason for In
terfering with n rate established by a number
of roads and common to many communities.

A proposition xvhich , if adoplod , will no

makes It lawful for any railroad or transpor
tation company in the United States to make

tary oreanlzallons with their equipments to

bill from the house territories commlttoo to
ratify au act of the Arizona legislature
authorizing the issue of bonds to the extent
of $30,000 lo enable the territory to bo prop

report accompanying the bill says congres
sional authority is necessary because of 'a
law forbidding territories to Incur an in
debtedness exceeding 4 per cent of the as

NEW Yonit , Fob. 23-Tho Herald this morn-
Inp , commenting on the Albany democratic
convention , says : "Mr. Hill has handled
the situation with consummate tactical
shrowness. Ho holds Now York state , or nt
least he thinks ho does , In his fist , and whllo
the dolegalos were not especially instructed
to vote for him at Chicago , * they know perfectly -
fectly welt they would not have boon chosen
oxcopton that condition. But yesterday's
convention emphasized the fact that New
York state Is very badly split. Hill has the
machine without a doubt , but a very largo
number of democrats are yet to bo convinced
that ho has the pooplo. All this show of
power Is well enough In Us way , bul the
party In this ntnto has a Tory bitter feud on
its hands and the aggroislvo policy of Mr.
Hill has excited a decrco of opposition which
renders the vote of November uncertain to
either himself or Cleveland. A western
man who has also the respect ot the south
a man like Watturson ror Instance with
Hill for second place would be certain to
carry Now York and the country. The
democrats ot the state who are now divided
Into factions and losing no opportunity to
knife each ether would unite on such a
ticket and carry the banner to undoubted
victory. "
An Elephant on IIJIInnili.
The World says : "Tho Fnbruary point In
this game of policy has boon scored. Everyone -
ono foresaw that it would bo if Iho early con
vention were persisted in. There will ba far
the greater contest In June. Senator Hill
has a donation from ono state , but there are
forty-throa other stales to bo heard f rom.and
oven In two months from now the real light
for the nomination will hardly be begun.
Senator Hill has secured a delegation four
months , seventeen weeks , ISO days , In ad
vance of tbo national convention. What has
ho gott What will he do with Itt Or what
will it do for ItsMf I It can hardly bo corralled
and shipped to Cbicairo to awalti the great
convention , though the haste wllh which It
was snapped up might suggest such a policy.
The delegates can scarcely bo forbidden to
road the newspapers until after they have
voted , like the Jurors In a capital case. A
great many things are llicoly to h ppen and
are quite cortaln to happen durjnff the next
four months which will materially influence
and probably dotormlno Ihe choido.of a dom-
o'cratio candidate for president : "
Doomed to Ultimate Defeat.
The Times says : "At the raostj or at the
worst Mr. Hill's convention can serlve only as
a hindrance lo the nomination of Mr. Clove-
land. That it will serve as an effective
hindrance we do not bollovo , and the revolu
tion of democratic sentiment In mil parts of
the country diminishes every day the doubts
upon that point That tbo worktop this con
vention , with its body of i instructed dele
gates , will load to the nomination , of Mr. Hill
lor the presidency U a notion too absurd lo
bo entertained fora moment. ' Tha democratic
convention at Chicago will not nominate Mr. '
Hill. It may go. west foe ita'canUIdate ' jr
south , or to the Paciilo coatt ; if it comes
east or to Now York it will come for a man
bettor known and moro respected than David
B. Hill. "
In another editorial article , beaded 'To
Represent Now York , " referring to tbo action
at Albany by tuo organization recently
adopted by the Cooper instiluto meeting , the
Times says :
"Tho Syracuse convention will send to
Chicago a delegation freely and fairly chosen ,
enjoying the confidence and aolo to express
the views and wishes of the democrats of the
stato. We are entirely convinced that they
will find themselves at Chicago in sypjpalby
with Iho earnest and sincere democrats of all
parls of Iho country. " *
Must Force the Tight.
The Tribune says : "Unless all signs fall ,
the anti-Hill movement Is rapidly gaining
strength and has already become serious
enough to bo called a faction.It WHS rather
late in making itself manifest , and the in
fluential and upright men who are. concerned
in it need not wonder that th0 general public
cannot understand how It happened that da-
cent democrats , who were * not excited at all
by the seat-stealing conspiracy , were so
dreadfully moved because 'a convent Ion was
held rather earlier than is ouitomary. Tnolr
Indignation against Hill does them credit , but
It is rather belated and 'is open to the criti
cism of lacking n llnt-rato moving causo.
However , if they only hava the necessary
courage and wisdom , the . .anti-Hillilaa can
atone for the past by making the most of
their present opportunllies.'j. If Ihoy force

gram to THE DEB. | The post mortem exam
ination of the body of Myron Vanlleot , who
was shot by Captain Yocum yesterday , was
concluded at 1 p. in. today. Thu surgeons
found that throe bullets had taken effect In
the body of the victim. Ono entered the
loft lobe of the liver , another the right urm
near the elbow , which ranged up toward
tbo shoulder , and the third piorccd the back
and lodged near the base of tbo spinal col
umn.
The immediate cause of death was hem
orrhage. The coronor's Jury , consisting of
Messrs. Theodore Farrell , Leopold Halm ,
Charles Cameron , N , F. Damoron , Jacob
Fisher and J. N. Fountain , viewed the re
mains last night and adjourned until this
afternoon.
When they mot today General A. H.
i3owon , who represents Captain Yocum ,
asked that the inking of the testimony bo
deferred until Friday next. The contmuanco
was granted.
Captain Yocum still has nothing to say for
publication aside from riving a moro state
ment of the fact of the killing and the cor
rectness of the reason given for the deed by
the press.
Jeff Toemor , the colored ex-coachman ,
remained In the county Jail all night , al
though not under arrest. This morning
Sheriff Crane took him to the D. & M. 11 : ! )0 )

ger ho was in and ; loft the cllv. There was
some lalk by a few parsons of lynching Tee

burled tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. The
ceremonies will bo in charge of Silas Siryok-

The affair Is the principle topic of conver

BEATiucn , Nob. , Fob. 23. [ Special to THE
BEC. ] Yesterday signalized an important
event in ibo business history of Beatrice.
The occasion was the formal opening of the
first wholesale Jobbing house ever estab
lished in iho city , and will mark an opocb In
Beatrice's business interests , the importance
of which cannot bo overestimated. Refer
ence hat been made of iho projected enter
prise heretofore in THE BEE. The proprlc.
tors are Messrs. Burns & Rutt , recently of
Casey , la. , and the ostablisnmont is a whole
sale oroccry houso. The Beatrice grocers
have taken very kindly to the now concern
and will patronlzo it freely. Messrs. Burns
& Hutt will at once put traveling representa
tives on the road and will make a bold strike
for the grocery trade , especially mat of the
Republican valley and northern Kansas.
Messrs. Oliver Fulton and H. B. Troxcl
have Just embarked man enterprise which is
destined to become an important factor in the
live stool : industry hereabouts. They pro
pose to Inaugurate a regular series of com
bination sales of standard bred trotters and
thoroughbreds. Tbo first public sale is an
nounced for April 4. and Messrs. Fulton &
Troxol intend lo make it tbo most prominent
sale of the kind over occurring in southern
Nebraska. They have already a number of
first-class consignments that are in the thirty
list , as well as ono or two thorough-bred
runnors.
The mayoralty contest is the prevailing
theme in Ibis cily Ihoso expiring February
days. The candidates now the most con
spicuous before the dear public of Beatrice ,
are : K H. Fogg , the present incumbent ,
who is not averse to a ronotnination by the
Independents and democrats , n combination
upon which he was elected a year ago to fill
out Mayor Tail's unoxplrod term ; Joseph
Hill , independent or straight democrat ;
George P. Marvin , having bad a slight taste
of mayoralty dignities as acting mayor by
vlrtuo of bis being president of the city
council , Is willing to servo in the real ca-
capacity If nominated and elected by Iho de
mocracy of Ihe state of Beatrice ; L. E.
Walker , republican , who run on petition a
year ago against Ed bhorman. the
straight republican nominee , and thereby
drew enough votes away from Sher
man to elect Fogg , is anxious to serve the
city as mayor If ho can got the republican
nomination. M. E. Shultz's friends are
grooming him up In proper stiapo to go into
the city republican"convention and knock
out all the other republican i spirants. Ed
Sherman holds out the idea that ho will not
bo a candidate , yet tlioro are a few nf his
friends who think ho is only Just a little
bashful. E. O. Krotslngor , having designs
on the county allurnoyship next full , will
probably decline to bo a candidate for
mayor this spring. Mr. ICrotsInger's bitter
est enemies are not slow to admit that ho
would bo the very strongest nomination
that the republicans could make and that his
election would bo almost Inevitable. Harry
Phillips is of course in the field. Running
for mayor of Bcatnco is Harry's biennial
diversion , and ho avers that ho will stick to
it until ho is elected.
