CINCINNATI , Aug. 2. Many people here
today visited the scene of the hurricane
yesterday In the northern suburbs. The
public did not know what a narrow escape
the city had till today. With the wind
blowing sixty miles an hour and a rainfall
of two Inches within two hours the weather
bureau says the city was fortunate In es
caping' with only prop'erty damage. This
was duo to there being no funnel shaped
clouds , no twisting winds or whirlwinds.
Whllo the dark clouds burst , the wind
swept straight across the city and Its sub
urbs. It unroofed hundreds of buildings
that were occupied , but all the buildings
demolished were either old structures ,
barns and sheds , or buildings in process
of construction.
All the railways are entering the city
today oa time , but some of the street rail
ways and the telephone lines are still dis
abled. Some congregations held services In
new locations today owing to damages to
their edifices , but the general opinion ex
pressed everywhere was that of thankful
ness that the situation hero and elsewhere
in southern Ohio. Indiana and Kentucky
was no worse. The only death reported
was that of Charles Bouhe , who plcke
up a telegraph wlro that had blown Into
his yard on the Carthage road. The wire
crossed a trolley that was also blown down
John Hammer of Covington , Ky. , also
picked up a wire and was unable to re
lease himself. His condition Is still doubt
ful. Among the others who are prostrated
today from lightning shocks experienced
yesterday and last evening are : Taylor Grcen-
wald , Mrs. Oliver Greenwald , Mrs. A
Ritchie , Harry M , Arschmelcr , William
Selzer , John Hollingcr , Edward Chaggerc
Miss J. Deere , John Brycr , Edward Stagge-
mlllcr , John Scharrld and Miss Nellie
Fluan.
Thu lightning struck hundreds of places
In and about the city. Hundreds expe
rienced severe shocks who were .not pros
trated. Quite a number of horses were
killed In stables that were struck by light
ning or blown down.
The weather has been pleasant today
and the Sunday was devoted to clearing
up and repairs everywhere. The base bal
park had a large force of men at work
before the aft-Jrnoon game. The telegraph
telephone and railway companies had al
available men out on their lines.

ATLANTIC CITY , N. J. , Aug. 2. No addl-
lonal deaths have yet occurred as a result
of Thursday night's collision and the death
roll still stands nt forty-four. There Is a
possibility that It may remain at that flc-
ire , but It Is only a remote one.
At the sanitarium this afternoon It was
reported that the fifteen patients still there
wore doing as well as could be expected , and
while there was a bare chance of pulling
all through safely , the odds were against at
east three. They are : Frank Morelo ot
East Orange , N. J. ; William Johnson of
Brldgeton , and Lizzie Brnnln of Mlllvllle.
Miss Branln has not recovered conscious
ness since the collision , despite reports to
the contrary. She Is the 19-year-old girl
who was engaged to be married to Charles
Horncr , the Brldgeton grocer , who lives on
the cot next to her. Homer , too , Is very
severely hurt , but the chances are now In
favor of his ultimate recovery.
It must have been a dull Sunday for the
pcntup , broken limbed unfortunates. Almost
with the dawn came a violent rain storm ,
and while It'abated early In the morning the
sun shone but fitfully throughout the day
and when It did the heat and the humidity
were intense.
At 8 o'clock In the morning the patient's
request made last night to Rev. J. H. Townsend -
send , rector ot the Episcopal church of the
Ascension , was granted. The sonoroua
chimes of the little church , which stands
Just across the way , a mammoth hotel In
congruously towering overhead , pealed forth
the tones of "Nearer , My God , to Thee. "
The faces of the patients made a pitiful
study as they hearkened to the music. Some
simply gazed with longing eyes into vacancy ;
others with rapt looks aud quivering lips
formed the words of the hymn In unison with
the chimes , and some softly wept.
A number of priests of various denomina
tions have , at their own request , been per
mitted access to the sick ward , and while
the patients have welcomed them aud
eagerly listened to their words of consola
tion , there has been no ceremony of a purely
religious character.
AT THE CORONER'S OFFICE.
Relatives and friends of some of the dead
visited Coroner McLaughlln today and re
ceived the money and valuables , which had
belonged to their dead. The son of Wil
liam Prlckctt , sr. , of Brldgeton , took a few
articles of Jewelry and $26 In money. Al
fred Sharp , a brother of Mrs. Lizzie Bate-
man of Brldgeton , who was killed with
her husband , secured the effects of the
unfortunate couple. Mrs. Fclghan of Phil
adelphia , widow of Patrick FclRhan , the
liquor dealer , who was killed , secured the
money found on his body. Mrs. Branln ,
mother of Lizzie Branln looked for a watch
which belonged to her daughter , but It
could not bo found.
The watch of Philip H. Goldsmith , the
Brldgeton clothier , who died hand In hand
with his wife , bears on the face the picture
of the wife and two boys. It had stopped
at 2:40. :
The Inquest tomorrow will be
held upon the bodies of Gold
smith and one or two others , by way
of formality. The railroad ofilclals will be
called first , including Superintendent A. T.
Dye of the Reading , and E. .O. Dayton of
the Pennsylvania. Albert Plnkerton , con
ductor of the Reading train , will also be
called. There will be twenty-five or thirty
witnesses In all.
Mrs. Bruns , a German woman from Phil
adelphia , was here today , trying to find here
her boy , William , who had been reported as
being badly Injured in the wreck. He was
not at the hospital , and there was no trace
of him. He had been living at Shlloh , Pa. ,
and may possibly bo there now.
City council will meet tomorrow night
and pass resolutions of condolence.
FUNERALS OF THE VICTIMS.
BRIDGETON , N. J. , Aug. 2. The funerals
of eleven of the victims of the Atlantic
City railroad collision took place today.
Everywhere could be seen the clothes and
badges of mourning and scenes were wit
nessed as tbe relatives of the- dead watched
the heavy clods of earth fall that shut
their dead from their sight forever. Lodges
turned out in full force and escorted the
dead to the graves. The churches 'all held
special services , at which prayers were said
for the unfortunates , dead and the living.
Those burled were : Mr. H. Frazer Bell and

States Commissioner Moiher , bound over to
the United States grand Jury. During tbe
hearing U was shown that Bell , the leader ,
represented himself as the agent ot the
American Knights of the Mystic Numbers ,
whoso purpose It was to distribute money
for campaign purposes. In Instructing the
defendants what class of people were easiest

point , I think the populists make the best
subjects , yet every silver man Is liable

The secret service men are still at work
on the case and It U likely that more arrests
will be made.

.MEMPHIS , Aug. S.-'A special to the Com
mercial Appeal from Birmingham , Ala. , says :
It Is evident tdnlght that the jWp-republlcan
leaders don't expect their 'state ticket to be
elected tomorrow , but arc directing all their
energies to capture thft legltlaturc for the
purpose of seating Goodwin us governor on
the allegation that he liarf lieen defrauded
and also electing a populist or republican
senator. William Vattghari. state republican
chairman , said tonight that ho believed that
a fair election will not be held , that there
Is every indication of fraud In the black belt
counties , but he believes the fualonlsts will
control the legislature oit Joint ballot and
that If they do , Goodwin will bo the next
governor. He arsons thai with a fair elec
tion Goodwin would carry forty out ot sixty-
six counties. Captain Jofeph F. Johnston ,
democratic candidate for governor , said to
night : "I am satisfied from observation and
reports that wo shall carry the state by not
lens than 40.000 majority and possibly larger.
All the democrats without regard to the cur
rency question and 1 llilnU many repub
licans who favor free colhage will vote our
ticket. Good govcrnmcntand | protection to
property Interests arc largely Involved and
the legislature will , I thlak , be nearly two-
thirds democratic , standing on the Chicago
platform. I have distinctly made the Issue
that o larco majority casi ; for our ticket to
morrow would strengthen Bryan In No >
vember. "
Captain Johnson thinks" Goodwin will not
carry exceeding thirteen counties. Secre
tary Miller of the democratic campaign com
mittee tonight estimates that the democrats
will have twenty-ono out of thirty-three
members of the state senate and will elect
seventy-two out ot 100 members of the house
certain , with tbe probability ot making It
eighty-one. It can bo staled there Is every
Indication of a fair election. Nobody has
heard of any fraud but the anti-democratic
leaders and they are ndt.Bpecl/lc / , but only
charging It generally without any apparent
ground for the charges. Johnson's election
and n democratic legislature arc regarded
as absolute certainties.

BESSEMER , Mich. , Aug. . 2. The Tllden
mine yesterday closed down both day and
night shifts of No. 9 shaft. This com
pletes the shutdown of the Rockefeller
mines In this city. Nos. 'c , 7 , 8 , 8 and 10
shafts now employ Just enough men to
keep the mines clear of water. In a large
number ot mines the pumps have been
taken out and the mines allowed to fill
with water. Gogcblc range mines are prac
tically all shut down at HUrley , Ironwood ,
Bessemer and Wakefleld ! 'There are kis
than 1,000 men nt work , on the range where
at ono time over 3,000 raenwero employed.
It is certain that a few mouths ot Idleness
will find hundreds of families Ln destitution.
The several mining companies have allowed
their employes all unoccupied lands for
use as "Plngree farms , " ' but the army
worms have destroyed the last hope of
the miners of having at least vegetables
to keep body and soul .together during ho
coming winter. The. poor fund is ex
hausted and there arc a. large number of
outstanding orders. Th'oMdle miners and
their families are therefore facing starvi-

Seventy-five per cent ofHhese replies show

NEW YORK , Aug. 2. Bourke Cockran re
turned Saturday from Europe by the steamer
Paris. Mr. Cockran did not forget American
politics during his trip , and ho has evolved
plan by which he thinks the defeat of the
Chicago candidates may bo encompassed ,
Speaking of the situation , he said :
'I regard It as the gravest In the history
of the country , exceeding In Importance the
crisis of 1SGO. The secession movement was
but an attempt to dlvldo this country be
tween two governments , each of them de
signed to protect property within the limits
of Its Jurisdiction. The movement launched
at Chicago Is an attempt to paralyze Indus
try by using all the powers of government
to take property from the hands of those
who created It and place It in the hands of
these who covet It. This Is a question of
morals as well as politics. No political con
vention can Issue a valid license to commit
offenses against morality and I decline to fol
low Mr. Bryan In a crusade against honesty
and the rights ot labor. "
"Do you mean that you will actively op
pose the democratic party or abstain from
active support of It ? "
"In a contest for the existence of civiliza
tion no man can remain neutral. Whoever
does not support the forces of order aids the
forces of disorder. If I can do anything to
thwart a movement , the success of which I
should regard as an ( reparable calamity not
only to this country , but to civilized society
everywhere , I shall certainly do it. "
"What do you think of Tammany's action
In endorsing the ticket ? "
"I simply can't understand It. They
strongly opposed the platform at Chicago on
the ground that It was an assault on the In
tegrity of the nation. They decline to ratify
It even now , which shows that they have not
changed their opinion of It. Yet they have
endorsed the candidate who stands upon It
and whose election will mean that the plat
form which they have denounced as a singu
lar combination of lunacy and villainy shall
bo Incorporated Into the statute laws of this
country. "
WILL SUPPORT M'KINLEY.
"Will you support Major McKinley out
right , or do you favor the nomination of
another democratic tlcUet ?
"I believe that all democrats who arc
so thoroughly in favor of sound money
that they place the defeat of Bryan above
the Interests of any organization or party
should meet in convention for the purpose
of considering the method by which they can
give the greatest efficiency to the opposi
tion. For my part I don't believe that the
nomination of other candidates for presi
dent and vice president , however eminent
and deserving they might be personally or
politically , would serve any useful pur
pose.
"Nobody believes that they could be
elected and any democrat whoso hostility to
populism and rep.ubllcanlsra-'would not allow
tpfiUpport1eHher Bry'an. of McKinley
could show bis opposition to both by re
maining at home on election day quite as
well as by voting for a third ticket. It
would bo more convenient to himself Indi
vidually and would not create a visible
separation between himself and his party
organization. "
"But how can men rupturing party tics
bo sustained by some sense of association
among themselves ? "
AS TO THE MEANS.
"That end could bo obtained by the
adoption of a platform declaring for sound
money against extravagant appropriations ;
in favor of economical administration In
every department of government ; In favor
of a tariff reform for revenue only and
ample for the purpose ; against the pater
nalism of the republican party and the
popullstlc socialism of both the Chicago
and St. Louis conventions ; In favor of that
American liberty which can bo maintained
by so limiting the power of the govern
ment that It can never interfere with the
daily concerns of law-abiding citizens. The
plank of pressing Importance In such a plat
form Is , of course , the currency plank.
Now the mere election of McKinley will
be the defeat of the silver movement.
"Your obvious policy , then , would be to
endorse the McKinley electors ? "
"Precisely. The democrats , who will
have achieved the success of their financial
plank by the election -McKinley , will
yet constitute an opposition to the repub
lican party the day after election , based
on principles which are certain to be ulti
mately adopted by the American people.
What Is needed , therefore , Is not a new
ticket , but a new platform , which will de
clare In unmistakable language the prin
ciples of the party faith , and which , while
endorsing McKinley electors , will provide
for a really democratic opposition to the
McKinley administration during the period
of its existence. "
"What is your opinion of the ultimate
outlook ? "
"Everything depends on the manner In
which it Is waged. To my mind there Is
one test of prosperity which can bo ap
plied to a country , and that Is the rate
of wages paid to labor. There can bo no
dlstrcsz where the rate of wages 1s high.
It can be easily demonstrated that this
whole free silver movement Is u conspiracy
against wages , and if tbo campaign Is
fought on this line , I have no doubt that
every northern state that Is to say , every
Btato In the union in which It Is practi
cable to hold free election will be carried
by the Intelligence and morality of the
American people against the monstrous
proposition submitted to them by the con
vention which nominated Mr. Bryan for
the presidency. "

lay from his trip to the west , which In
cluded St. Louis during the populist con
vention week , Mr. Bryan at Lincoln and

ator expects to remain In the city during

democratic traders as may bo here from tlmo

o attend the meeting of the national com
mittee August 11 and the Bryan and Sewall
notification on the day following. The un
derstanding now Is that the two candidates
ll be notified at the same time , as has
been done by the democratic party In the
past.
past.Pending
Pending the meeting of the national com
mittee In New York the final disposition
of the question of the establishment of per
manent headquarters during the coming
campaign Is hardly looked for. Senator
Jones had nothing definite to say on thlo
subject , but expressed the opinion that the
matter would not be settled till the com
mittee meets. Whllo Senator Jones Is be
lieved to have about decided upon the forma
tion of the executive committee which will
have active charge of the campaign work
he Is not yet prepared to make public any
names. In this case also he expressed the
opinion that the committee will not bo
fully named until the meeting In New York.
He may , however , announce an Individual
member or two during his stay In this city.
Questions bearing on the attitude ot Bryan
toward the populist nomination and affectIng -
Ing the retention of Mr. Sewall on the na
tional ticket ore these on which the chair
man declines to express an opinion. The
senator's attention was called to the state
ment In the Atlanta Journal made by Hon.
W. L. Peek , who led the Georgia delega
tion to the populist convention , that there
was nn understanding between the populist
and democratic leaders that If the popu
lists would nomlnato Bryan for president
and n southern populist for vlco president
Mr. Sewall would retire from the race.
Regarding this Mr. Jones declared that so
far as ho knew no arrangement of the kind
was entered Into. The chairman Is well
satisfied with the general situation and says
the democratic ticket Is as good as can be.
He ridicules the Idea of a reaction in the
silver sentiment and looks for its continued
progress.
"This sentiment. " lie said , "brpan with
the repeal of the Sherman act and has pro
gressed ever since. "

NEW YORK. Aug. 2. A special to the
World from Washington says : Senator Jones
of Arkansas , chairman of the democratic
national committee , has returned to Wash
ington. When asked by the World corre
spondent the question : "Will Mr. Bryan ac
cept the nomination offered him by the
populists ? " ho answered slowly and delib
erately : "How can he ? He was nomi
nated with Mr. Sewall on the democratic
platform and ho will do nothing that will
reflect upon him as a gentleman or as a
democratic candldnte. I sec that some ot
the populists arc declaring that unless Mr.
Bryan accepts their nominationby August
5 the central committee will withdraw his
name and nominate some one else in his
place. Well , let them do so. Mr. Bryan
having been the nominee of the democrats
and of the silver party , common decency
would at least suggest the propriety of his
accepting.thpso nominations first. .But supr
pose'tho populists do nominate another-can
'
didate for the presidency , what would bo
the situation ? Mr. Bryan received a thou
sand votes in their convention and then this
central committee , composed of a few men ,
comes along and nominates a new man. It
will simply mean the disruption and dis
organization of the populist party.
"We all know that we are going to have
either Bryan and Sewall or McKinley and
Hobart. The best men and the most Intel
ligent of the populist party will vote for
Bryan and Sewall. "
In conclusion Senator Jones , according to
the World correspondent , compliments the
populists of the north and west as broad
minded and patriotic men. On the other
hand , he said the populists of the south were
out for "nothing but spoil. " Mr. Jones said
ho did not propose to allow Mr. Watson to
"bluff him Into withdrawing Sewall. " Ho
said he was willing to make fair and proper
arrangements with the populists In the mat
ter of electoral tickets , but he did not pro
pose to consent to any improper arrange
ments.

The stale nominating convention of the.
populist party will bo held at Hastings Au
gust G. and judging by present Indications
mrmony will take a day off while the war
ring factions of the party fight out their
Uffcrcnccs. Not that the result Is In doubt.
The fact that the
middle-of-the-road patriots
are In a hopeless mlnorltv has been again
and again demonstrated. They were beaten ,
n nearly all the county conventions In the
state. Here In Douglas county the fight was
especially bitter , but the straight pope ,
headed by Vandcrvoort , Burr and Brccn ,
were ingtorlously defeated on every issue
raised. H was the same at St. Louis , where
the straight pops on the Nebraska delega
tion wcro outnumbered by nearly two to
one. But In no case did they submit with
out a Btmggle. They fought every Inch of
the ground and they do nut hcsltato to de
clare that they will make a desperate effort
at Hastings to prevent the consummation of
the plans of the leaders of the majority.
The leaders of the middle-of-the-road cle
ment assert that Governor Holcomb and Sen
ator Allen have entered Into n compact with
the Bryan managers by which they were to
deliver the Nebraska vole to Bryan nnd
Sowall , and In return Bryan's Influence waste
to bo used to procure a democratic endorse
ment of the populist state ticket In Ne
braska , They rcfusa lo be bound by such
an agreement , nnd persist In their deter
mination to break up the slate agreed on by
their opponents.
That they are strong enough to prevent the
renomlnatton of Governor Holcomb no ono
believes. But they announce their Intention ,
to make a fight that will pcvc- the way for
a straight pop ticket In case such an under
taking should seem practicable. There Is ono
point In favor of the minority , and that la.
the surplus of candidates for nearly all tho-
state olliccs. Even In Douglas county the
vote Is split up among a dozen candidates
and this Is expected to result In a fight
that will to some extent disrupt the align
ment of the majority. If this can be ac
complished the vote of the minority'will be
come of some Importance , and they expect
to be able to cut some figure In the conven
tion.
IGNORING THE VICE PRESIDENT.
It Is Intimated by those who are In a posi
tion to know that the majority will not raise-
the question between the two vice presiden
tial candidates. The electors will bo chosen
as Bryan men and they will not attempt to
Instruct them for Sewall also. Whethertho
minority will make a fight for Watson re
mains to be seen , but the leaders hope to bo
able to ovoid a fight on that Issua by Ignor
ing the vice presidential question altogether.
Their plan Is to name an electoral commis
sion composed of two democrats , two free
silver republicans and four populists. It i
believed that by this plan they will be able
to defeat a'ny effort of the radical pops to
make trouble In the 'convention and uulto
all the free sllyor clements.
South Omaha la In-tbo ring with two can
didates for Btat6"trcasurcr. .They arc C. Af.
Hunt , a well known banker and property
owner , and Thomas Hector , ex-city treas
urer. It Is said that Hector IB not making
\ personal effort to secure the nomination ,
but a number of the Douglas county popu
lists arc pushing him ou the ground that , ho
would command a heavy vote in this county.
An effort will also be made to secure one ot
the supreme court Judgshlps for Douglas
county. Judges E. n. Duffle and A. N. Fer

G. W. Ambrose Is also mentioned.

statement to the Atlanta Journal. It Is as
follows :
