PAIUS , Sept. 10. A violent tornadc
passed over a portion ot this city nt 2 3 (
j > . m. todiy. In one short mlnuto tlu
twister had passed , but In that time ter
rible destruction had been done. The dcatli
list , It Is believed , will be small , but over
half a hundred persons were more or less
seriously Injured.
The city Is much stirred up this evenIng -
Ing over the disaster , which has assumeel
considerable proportions. The number ol
minor casualties nnd Injuries to persons U
large , nnd further reports arc constantly
being received. Over fifty Injured have
thus far been reported to one fire station
nlonc , nnd five were seriously Injured. Sev
eral men and women had their skulls frac
tured by the falling of some gates behlne !
which they had sought shelter from tlu
storm. A cab driver , who had taken refuge
in hla cab , was killed ; the horses were
also killed and the cab demolished. Nine
members of the rtaff ot La Franco , vvhc
xvcro leaving the Tribunal de Commcice
when the storm suddenly broke , -w ere al !
ccrlously Injured , one having his skull frac
J
tured. At least n dozen persons wcro car-
lied bodily Into the Seine ; from the bildgcs
nnd from thu ejuays , nnd were rescued wltl :
great difficulty , several being Injuicd am1 ,
left In a critical condition , so that they hail
to bo taken to the hospitals.
The brcclclng of the storm vvas accom
panied by many demonstrations of fright
by Individuals and by crowds , the panic ol
one spreading to others The lowering sky
nnd the howling of the tempest filled the all
with Hying debris , frightening the crowds
In the streets out of self-control. Everybody
started to run without much regard to ob
stacles , personal or otherwise , that mlghl
como In their way , and there was nlucli
Hhoutlng and screaming to add to the con
fusion. The damage to property wns wide
spread and serious.
The first tempest of wind , which did most
of the damage , was succeeded Immediately
by torrents of rain and tonight celHrs all
over Paris are flooded. At Glychy the road
way of the Boulevard Notional subsided sev
eral jaids as a result of the washing away
of the rallioad. The Qual Des Orfevre1-
shows n striking scene of desolation , build
ings being damaged and all looking as
though swept by n torrent of rushing water.
Considerable destruction was caused on
and about Pont Ncuff , the Place du Chntclct ,
the ObBOrvatolrc , the Tour Street Jaceiiie ami
elsewhere In the neighborhood I'lom the
Qual St. Michael to beyond the Pont Ncuff
every tree vvas uprooted , many barges were
sunk nnd n number of small boats were
uwampcd. The crews of the barges , however -
over , succeeded In escaping. One of the
laundry boats ot the Seine , where thirty
laundresses were at work , was sunk and the
women wcro saveel with the greatest diffi
culty. The scaffolding ot the courtyard of
the Salute Chapcllc was blown away and
every pane of glass In the side of the Palace
of Justice facing the river was bmashed by
uprooted trees.
All the omnibuses struck by the tornado
were upset and their passengers were more
or less Injured.
The prefecture of pollco has Issued a
_ _ statement that only one person has .been
' killed. This understates the case. A large
ward In the Hotel Dleu Is full of victims ,
two of whom died tonight and several others
there and In the other hospitals are In a
nercarlous condition.
It Is' n curious fact that the tornado
chiefly affected the small area lying around
the Palais de Justice and the Hotel de
Vlllo. It appeared to bo caused by two
strong currents from the northwest nnd
the southeast. The clouds rushed together
" and whirled around as they met just over
this area. There was no thunder and no
simultaneous movement at the Central obser
vatory. Tlio barometer In the Tour St
Jaejues fell suddenly seven millimetres
M. Mollno , the premier , visited the
scenes of the devastation lu company with
M , Lcplno , the perfect of pollco ,
A member of Lo Temps' staff thus dc-
scrlbca the spectacle at the moment when
the Rtoim broke : "From the omnibus on
vhlch I was riding , I could see down the
Qual clcs Orfc-vres and the Qual des Grandcs
Augustlns. I suddenly saw what appeared
to be. a tall pillar of smoke advancing from
a distance. I Imagined that a large fire-
had broken out , but almost directly 1 saw
I that trees wore being snapped and countless
chimneys hurled to the ground. But al
most Instantly the storm , passed away. We
wcro not touched , but the Quals wcro Im-
paesublo nnd a scene ot indescribable con
fusion followed. "
Among the dead was a well dressed man ,
apparently an Englishman , whose linen
bears the Initials "W. H , " Numerous
newspaper kiosks were overturned and the
Inmates Injured , The roof of the Opera
Comleiuo vvas blown down. The Amblgu-
Comleiue and the rblles Dramatlimeu
theaters were both damaged. Twenty-nine
horses were killed , Eight beer houses were-
recked ,
The storm was preceded by darkness and
by oppressive sultrynees , There was not
the slightest disturbance In the Champs
EljBseo , the Madeline , the Are do Trlompho
nnd the Bourse districts beyond a heavy
rain. The superstitious are finding much
to dwell upon In Ihe fact that Mile , Cones.

HARRISDUnO , Pa . Sept. 10. The demo
cratlc state convention reconvened todij
for the purpose of filling vacancies on thi
electoral ticket created by the withdraw it
after the Chicago convention , of about one
third of the electors nominated at the con
vcntlon on April 9 , There was a good at
tendance and the silver men were In complete
pleto control.
Previous to the assembling of the coin en
tlon there were numerous caucuses am
conferences of both elements of the party
The executive committee of the state ecu
tral committee decided to recommend thai
a formal platform be adopted. The prep
aratlon of this was entrusted to u commit
tee headed by cx-Congrcssmnn James Ken
and Howard Mutchlei' . Next the full staU
committee met and discussed the propcsl
tlon of fusion with the populists. The populists -
lists agreed to support Bryan If they wert
given four of the twenty -two names on the
electoral ticket. This was vigorously op
posed by the members of the committee
fioin Philadelphia and other eastern conn
tics on the ground that It would be unwls (
to nominate anything but n stralghtoul
democratic ticket. A majority of the com
mittee favoml fusion , but there wns nc
formal action up to 12 o'clock , when an ad
journment was taken to allow a furthci
conference with the subcommittee of th (
populist state committee.
Iho leaders of the gold clement , Includ
ing ex-State Chairman Robert E Wright
who resigned because ho could not supper !
Bryan , State Chairman Given of the goli
democrats. Collector of the Port John R
Reed of Philadelphia and Samuel Dlcksor
of Philadelphia , who was a delegate to the
Indianapolis convention , met and got intc
shape their protest against what they dc-
claicd to be the revolutionary proceedings
of the sllverltes
APOLOGIZES TOR HIS VOTE.
When the convention was called to ordei
Captain John B Kcenan of Westmoreland
who had been agreed upon as temporary
chairman and permanent chairman , said
"In beginning I should perhaps apologize
to the convention for disobey Ing the oi-jcn
of the caucus at Chicago and voting foi
Bryan. The Chicago convention not only
changed a ireat many men's minds on tin
currency question , but also changed tlu
minds of a great many men on other ques
tions We believed tkat In the east the stai
of democracy was ascendant. But we found
at Chicago that the democrats of the vvesl
and south were the courageous and patriotic
men of the countty. We found there the
eastern democrats assembled for the pur
pose ot accomplishing the election of Mc
Klnley. The republican ! , mike the pretense
that they are In favor of International bi
metallism. This Is a fraudulent pretence ,
however , as no speaker advocates bimetal
lism , and no date Is fixed when bimetallism
Is to take effect. On the other hand , the
democratic party declares freely and frankly
for the ficc and unlimited coinage ot silver
and offers to the people a definite plan tot
the Improvement of the financial condition ,
which Is worse today than at any time for
fifty years. " ( Cheers )
On the call of the roll of delegates not
more than one-third of the original dele
gates to the Allentown convention answered
to their names , the substitutions In nearly
every Instance being sllvej men. When
Lancaster county was reached. W. Hnyet
Crier of that county challenged the right
of William B. Given to name a substitute.
The chairman announced that the matter
would be decided by a committee on con
tested seats.
At the conclusion of the roll call Wallet
E. Rltter of Ly coming moved that the rulea
be suspended and that the convention de
cide the Lancaster county contests and con.
sldor all other matters In open conven
tlon , Instead of referring to committees , as
has been the custom On a rising vote the
motion was not agreed to.
The committees on resolutions and cre
dentials were announced , and the conven
tion at 2.10 p. m. took a recess until 3
o'clock.
When the convention reconvened the tern
porary organization was made permanent.
W. B. Given and George D. Wilson of Lan
caster wore unseated because , theli sym-
pathles were not with the Chicago plat
form and ticket. Silver men were seated
In their places ,
CHEERS FOR BRYAN.
Chairman Rltter of the resolutions com
mittee read the platform , and when th
name of Bryan was mentioned a scene ot
enthusiasm followed such as has not been
seen In a Pennsylvania democratic conven
tion In recent years. It was almost five
minutes before Mr. Rltter could proceed
with the platform. The platform endorsed
Bryan and Sewnll and pledged them a cordial -
dial nnd vigorous support. It also accepted
the Chicago platform , "as the expression of
opinion of the majority ot the duly accred
ited representatives of the democracy of this
United States upon the Issues Involved Ih
'ho present political canvass , " and cob.
'sued1
Wo heartily endorse the sime , nnd par-

HCHO vcd , That Inasmuch as the delegates

Hon. Arthur Suwall will cmphaslzi- fact

Before the vote was taken on the adop
tion of the platform. Delegate Jnmes of
Northampton presented n protest signed by
n committee of the grid democrats , headed
by State Chairman Wright. Mr James had
ecaieoly started on his introductory spicch
before Iho delegates manifested their Im
patience by shouts and cries ot "Sit down ! "
The chairman and si v era ) dele-gates urged
( hit Mr James be given fair ploy , saying
10 could not Influence votes by hU argument.
Finally , when the speaker got a hearing , ho
tailed attention to the fact that three
months ago nt Allentown the democrats In
convention adopted resolutions declaring
for the gold standard and now the same
delegates proponed to change about and
endorse a free silver candidate on a free
silver platform. He got no further Hisses
and groans drowned his voice. Mr. James
continued to speak , but not a word he
littered could bo heard For about flvo min
utes the uproar lasted
PROTIJST OF THR GOLD MEN.
Mr James did not read the protest , but
filed It with the secretary. The protest
icads :

LINCOLN , Sept. 10 ( special. ) Concern
Ing the World-Herald's statement made tlili
morning In the Lincoln correspondence , tha
the republican state central committee hai
abandoned all hope of carrying Nebraska
Acting Chairman U. B. Schneider said today
"There Is absolutely no truth whatever Ir
the statement that the committee has glvci
up Nebraska On the contrary , the pros
pects of republican success In this state ar <
brighter than over before The committee
feels absolutely certain of carrying Ncbrask ;
for McKlnley nnd the entire state ticket
and that , too , by flvo figures "
Chairman Stephcnson , of the republican
county ccnimltte , says that all Indications
point to a majority at least of 2,500 for Me
Klnlcy In Lascastcr county , and 3,000 for the
stnto and county ticket
A member of the socialist pirty of Nebras
ka was at the state Capitol today to as
certain In what way the ticket recently nom
inated by them at Omaha could be placed on
the ofllclal ballot at the Novcmbct election
Iho socialists nominated a full set of state
ofllcers The gentleman representing the
socialists was Informed by Deputy Secietary
of State E\ans that he knew of no way In
which they could obtain representation on
the ticket except by petition. So far the
petition has not been filed Iho "straight"
pio'ilbltlonlsts , who on August 20 last , nomi
nated at Lincoln a state ticket , have filed
their certificate with the secretary of state.
Ihero was a question as to whcthei their
congressional nominations , iniulo at the
same tlmo the Btatc ticket was selected ,
could bo certified to legally. They
held no congressional district nomi
nations , but named their candl-
dites at the same time they made
their nominations for state officers. It wna
aigucd that the democratic candidate for
congress from the Fourth district , Judge
Stark , was nominated lit Lincoln , outside of
the bounds of the district. Judge Stark s
certificate has been filed. The certificate of
the "straight" prohibitionists was , accord
ingly placed on flic. The congressional can
didates are : First dls ilct , Charles E. Smith ,
Tails City ; Second , Charles Watts , Omaha ;
Third , David Brown , Maple Court ; fourth ,
B. Spurlock , York ; Fifth , Charles W. Pres
ton , Curtis ; Sixth , A. D George , Kcainey.
There aio now thieo new political parties
in the field In Nebraska which have so far
never polled any percentage of the vote , and
whose name hab never appealed on any ofll-
clal ticket. They are the new national party ,
the "silver party" and the socialist labor
party.

cold atmosphere failed to dampen the ar
dor of local republicans this evening upon
the formal opening of the campaign by Hon.

Strode of the First district. Headed by the
Nebraska City Cornet band , a torchlight
procession of a quarter of a mile In length ,
accompanied by a brilliant pyrotechnic
display , marched from republican head
quarters to the opeia house. As the crowd
was about three times as large as the opera
house It. w as-found uoccssarv to hold an-
otb'er Inimcnse meetlng-al' StahflHta'Tiall.
Judge M. L. Hayward presided and Intro

the tariff question In a single sentence nnd
Immediately plunged Into the financial prob
lem Ho discussed the subject thoroughly
and caiefully , laving bare the fallacy of
the oft-repeated nigument of the sllveritcs
"the crime of 1873 " He argued from the
wage carner'n standpoint ami quoted sta
tistics to show that wages In the United
States arc higher than at any tlmo In Its
history. A favorable comparison was
made between present prices of agricultural
pioducts and prices twenty years ago 'Ihe
111 effects of the free and unlimited coinage
of sllvei to the laborer and farmer were
graphically depicted. 1 ho address through
out was replete with catchy argument and
was enthusiastically applauded. Congress
