Ingenuity In an effort to smuggle refreshments into the building. DELEGATE KILLED. The most tragic and serious accident of th night resulted from persistent attempts to secure supplies, James Hughes, a delegate from Somerville losing his life in an ' effort to get out of the hall by a fire escape in the rear. Hughes was preparing to jump to the ground, fifteen feet below, when his foot slipped, and, in trying to save himself, he seized a wire dangling near. The wire was a live one, and, with an agonized cry, Hughes fell senseless on the fire escape and then tumbled to the ground, where he died before any one could

reacn mm. The news of the accident reached the delegates within the hall and they were arousea 10 tne nignest pucn or excitement, when Hon. J. H. Mellon announced it from the platform and declared it was a murder. for which the gold members of the State committee were responsible. There were several speeches in criticium of the commit tee ana resolutions on the death of Mr Hughes were finally agreed on to be preBcirieu iw i ne convention to-uay. The gatherings were quieted down aeraln and, while card playing was resumed by iuu.ii, mo inajuiiiy wein. to sieep. soon arter a DreaK was made in the lines of the enemy at some unknown point and large baskets of sandwiches and cans of corr.ee were earned into tne hall. Evidently there was a secret entrance by which delegates could return to the hall also, for ine numoer siowiy increased toward o clock, and an hour later Hon. T. V. Ce-akley reported that a roll call showed mat &;iu delegates with credentials were present. At z:w a. m. there were anDar ently not more than three hundred in the Duuaing. , Shortly after 7 o clock Secretary Natnaniei liobinson. or the state committee a gold man, appeared at the hall and asked ' the managers if they would be ready to deliver the hall, cleared of the silver men, to the committee at 11 o'clock, the hour at which the convention was scheduled to opn. Manager Mudgett stated that there were over five hundred men in the hall - who had credentials to the convention as delegates and he could not see how he could legally remove them. Secretary Robinson then retired and proceeded to the Quincy House, where the distribution of tickets of admission to the convention hall to delegates holding credentials was begun. Hundreds of delegates were erathered In front of Music Hall clamoring for admis sion when 10 o clock, the hour for the opening of the doors, arrived. They clamored in vain, however. T. W. Coaklev. of Roston. one of the silver leaders, appeared at a window of the hall and advised the Williams delegates on the outside to organize and send a committee to meet Mr. Williams and co-oiierate with him in bringing about the opening of the convention. Mr. Coakley said there were about 700 duly ac- . credited delegates holding the fort on the Inside and he advised his friends to hold "the fort on the outside.' The outsiders adopted Mr. Ooakley's suggestions and the time before Mr. Williams could be brought to the ha.ll was spent in speech-making. A DYNAMITER SQUELCHED. At about 11:30 Mr. Williams reached the convention. He said that no one knew that the delegates who had tickets were not admitted to the hall, but undoubtedly he would have some knowledge as soon as theeommittee that had been sent to call on Chairman Corcoran returned.. "When we get Inside," he declared, "we will admit every man who has credentials." He warned the crowd that it must be orderly and that the police were present to protect property. "Give the doors a little dynamite," yelled a man, in the crowd, but he was vigorously hissed and suppressed, cries of "Put that man down!" arising en every side. A few momenta before noon word came from inside the hall that the delegates there had organized a convention. George Fred Williams then addressed the crowd and said: "The State committee refuses to . open the doors. Wre have a regular convention organized and in operation on the Inside of this hall. We are able to get another hall, where the other delegates can . gather, and will have a full report of the convention on the inside. The second con vention will indorse the action of that now in session. We feel confident that we have five-sixths of the delegates from the State on ur side. Sta.nd right where you are until you hear from me. Shortly afterwards a messenger from the gold-standard men made announcement from a carriage that the State convention was about to assemble in Faneuil Hall. A few hundred left the vicinity of Music Hall and followed the messenger to Faneuil vlliilL - There there- appeared a man who eaid that he was a committee representing the delegates in Music Hall appointed to call upon the fiFe commissioners to enforce the ordinance against the closing of doors of any public hall while there was a meet ing or performance in progress there. The outsiders adopted a resolution in con formity with this representation and dis patched a committee to the City Hall to ask that the doors of Music Hall be broken open. While the silver Democrats were holding their meetings in Hamilton Place and Mu sic Hall, the State committee held a con tinuous session in a room in the Quincy House. Bulletins on the proceedings at Music Hall and in Hamilton Place were received by the State committee. About 11 o'clock two of the delegates were sent to Music Hall to confer with the Williams men and see if a compromise could not be effected. At noon the truce committee reported that no one would be admitted to Music Hall, whereupon the State committee decided to call the convention in Faneuil Hall. At 2 o'clock the committee and about sixty delegates preceded by a band marched up Washington street through School street by the City Hall, where Mayor Quincy reviewed them, then to Treniont street past the entrance to Music Hall, and from that point to Faneuil Hall. There were no demonstrations along the route, except at Music Hall, where the Williams contingent roundly hissed the procession. The members of the State committee claim that Faneuil Hall convention Is the only legal one and the only one that can be recognized by the Secretary of State. They declare that those participating In the silver convention must be regarded as bolters. WILLIAMS XOMINATED. The Silver Atcitator Named for Governor by Both Convention. BOSTON, Sept. 26. The five hundred delegates favoring George Fred Williams, who "held the fort" in Music Hall all night, were called to order by Timothy W. Coakley. Three cheers were given for Bryan and Sewall with great vim. After organization had been effected Timothy W. Coakley placed Hon. George Fred Williams in nomination for Governor, and the nomination was immediately made with three ringing cheers. C. T. Callahan, of Holyoke, was nominated for Lieutenant Governor; Dr. Joseph II. Polb, of Lynn, for Secretary of State; Thomas S. Watson, of Braintree, for Treasurer and Receiver-general; John P.. O'Donnell, of Braintree, for Attorneygeneral, and Morris B. Cavanagh, of Quincy, for Auditor. The convention in Faneuil Hall organized with Judge Corcoran as chairman. A motion to indorse the nomination of Bryan und Sewall and the Chicago platform drew out a protest from Thomas J. Gardan, who a few days ago resigned from the State committee. It was adopted, whereupon Mr. Gardan and other of the gold-standard delegates retired from the hall. A communication from the sixteen gold members of the State committee was then read by the chairman. In it the eommiteemen tendered their resignations, and stated their reasons for their action. A committee was appointed to name electors at large. George Fred Williams was nominated for Governor and Christopher T. Callahan, of Holyoke. for Lieutenant Governor, and a committee was appointed to complete the ticket. A delegate asked If the convention was the one called for at 11 o'clock at Music Hall. Ex-Mayor Coughlin, of Fall River, in reply, said that the very attempt of the State committee to obtain possession of Music Hall had been fruitless, end he defended the action of the committee in changing the meeting place to Faneuil Hall. The Populist State convention was also held here to-day. The nomination of George Fred Williams, for Governor was indorsed. - After the adjournment of the Democratic Stato convention to-day the gold-standard wing of the party decided to place in the field on nomination papers a ticket favorable to the nominee and platform of the convention held in Indianapolis early this month. This ticket, as filed by the national Democratic State committee of Massachusetts. Includes presidential electors and State officers, the latter being: For Governor, Frederick O. Prince; Lieutenant Governor, James E. McConnell; Secretary. Waldo Lincoln; Treasurer. Horace P. Toby: Auditor, Charles C. Spellman; Attorney-general, Harry F. Hurlburt. . Corbet t Give Bail.

CRAWFORDS V1LLE, Ind., Thomas Patterson, of Denver, Sept. 26. Col., and a former resident of Crawfordsville, delivered a Bryan silver speech here this afternoon. It was made the occasion for a big rally and the Democrats came in from all directions. During the speaking several young men, Wabasli College students, gave a derisive yell and then shouted for McKinley. This caused a commotion, and a rush was made at them. There was a short fight and the disturbers were put to flight. No one was seriously injured. There are warrants out for the arrest of the young men. and they will be prosecuted for disturbing a public meeting. OreMte Victims Will Recover. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. .. ELWOOD, Ind.. Sept. 26. The little town of Orestes is still greatly excited to-day, and a number of the most prominent citi zens are to be arrested, it is said, for par ticipating in the riot of yesterday, in which several came near being killed. The wound ed are doing nicely and unless complications set in, they will all recover. It is impossible to place the blame on any one more tnan another, and there are as many stories as there were observers as to how it started. The better class of citizens greatly regret the occurrence and did ail they could to suppress the riot, and it was mainly owing to their efforts that the troubles were ended and no more injured than were. The rioters will all be arrest ed and a number are now in jail and will be tried lor rioting. Riot at C. L. Henry Meeting. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. DECATUR, Ind., Sept. 26. One of the most enthusiastic Republican meet ings ever held in this county was held at Salem last night. Congressman Henry addressed over one thou sand people. A riot ensued, in which officer Tricker was mortally wounded while attempting to make arrests. Orlicers from this city were sent for, but when they arrived on the scene the offenders had es caped across the hio line. There is great indignation among both Republicans and Democrats and trouble is feared should the offenders be caught. Trieker's skull is crushed and it is feared he will die. AN INTERSTATE RALLY. Warner Miller Spoke to Thousand at Union City Yesterday. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. union UTi, ind., sept. 26. This wa3 a great day for the friends of sound money and protection in Randolph county and the adjoining counties both in Indiana and Ohio. The interstate rally, held here to day, in point of numbers and enthusiasm, is acknowledged by all fair-minded per sons to be the most successful ever held in this community. Notwithstanding the rains of the forenoon, delegations from all the adjoining towns began arriving early in the day. One from the southern part of the county was composed exclusively of farmers, who came in eight large wagons drawn by four horses each. The party had a young ladies' glee club, young ladies' band, colored voters club and drum corps. They were followed by forty-two buggies and surreys. The delegations coming from that part of the county alleged to be strong for the cause of silver, show that the cause of sound money is rapidly growing in favor with the farmers of Randolph county. Other delegations were present from Winchester, Lynn, Farmland and Ridgeville, Ind., and from Greenville, Versailles and other towns in Ohio. The afternoon meeting was held at the fair grounds, two miles west of the city. The procession formed at 1 o'clock and was over a mile long. The crowd- at the afternoon meeting numbered between six and seven thousand. As many as could get within hearing distance listened for two hours to the Hon. J. Warner Miller, of New York, who discussed the issues to an audience that gave the very closest attention. The crowd was so large that it was necessary for Hon. A. O. Maisn to speak to an overflow meeting alter briefly; introducing the main speaker of tne afternoon. In his introduction he spoke of Mr. Miller as coming, according to Mr. Bryan, from the enemy's country. Mr. Miller said, in part: "Thirty years ago there was a great sectional question in this country, and it seemed at one time that it would divide us and make us a North and a South, but, by the blessing of God and the loyalty of our people, that great question was finally settled in favor of the Union, and the cause of that division was finally wiped out. And then, after a lapse of thirty years, that breach has been filled and there is no North and South and no East and West, but we are brothers. We are a united Nation, and any man now, or party, that will attempt to create sectional differences in this country, tell the West that the East is oppressing them in money, or tell one class of citizens that the merchants that the commercial people are our natural enemies and keeping down the price of our prod ucts, or to tell them who labor in our man ufactories that capital is their natural en emy and that their employers and directors are not their mends 1 say that any man or any party that will go among the American people with such a statement as that, at tempting to divide our country into class es and set one portion against the other. is nothing more nor less than a common enemy, and should be treated as such by every person (applause), and that Is what is being done in this country to-day.' The meeting at Cadwaliader's Theater to night was addressed by Hon. R. J. Lovelana, or Peru, and Mr. Miller, who again spoke at the request of so many who were unable to hear him in the afternoon. The theater was crowded from top to bottom, and the seating capacity was about 1,200. the speeches or to-day and to-night will have great weight with the people and will go rar towards rolling up a large majority in this part of the county for the Republic an party. CRIME OF 'TS Canned a Democratic Speaker to Fall in i Faint. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LEBANON, Ind., Soot. 26. Hon. Charles B. Landis, candidate for Congress in the Ninth district, completed his canvass of this county with a meeting at Mechanicsville Friday night. It proved to be a rousing affair, and a fitting wind-up of a remarkably successful scries of meetings. Delegations were present from Thorntown. Hazelrigg, Elizaville and other neighboring points, and the crowd was estimated at 1,000. One cf the largest Republican meetings ever held in Perry township occurred at Fayette last night. S. R. Artnian, together with G. C. Reagan, addressed fully 700 people. A delegation fro.n Harrison township attended. The regular Saturday afternoon meeting at the headquarters was largely attended to-day. John C. Fullenwider, of Indianapolis, gave the address. Mr. Fullenwider has been a lifelong Democrat, but he announced in his speech that he would vote the straight Republican ticket, believing that was the quickest way to defeat Bryan and free silver Near the close of his speech he asked all Democrats and Populists in the hall to hold up their hands. Nearly a dozen hands went up. The speak-

er gazed at them in silence for a few seconds, then, with a significant gesture, which included the remaining portion of his audience, he remarked: "Well, you're in good company." The speech was short, but eloquent, and was wildly cheered. A somewhat amusing incident happened at a Democratic meeting last night. Rev. Samuel Hurbert attemnted to soeak at Dover before a fair-sized audience. He progressed very well with his remarks until he came to the "crime of '73." He started in on a sentence, "The crime of '73 " Here he stopped, choked, started in again, and once more choked and then fell back unconscious. The "crime of '73" had proven too much for him, and he had fainted. He was removed from the platform to a neighboring house, wnere he recovered in a short time. A local speaker entertained the crowd during the remainder of the evening. Horr Spenki at Marion. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MARION, Ind., Sept. 26. Although suffering from a severe cold, the Hon. Roswell G. Horr, of Michigan, this afternoon spoke to fully three thousand people In the courthouse yard. His audience was composed1 mostly of farmers, but a large number of factory men and miners could be seen in the audience. The speaker was introduced by Judge R. T. St. John. He paid his respects to the tariff question for an hour, clearly showing that the central idea of a Republican tariff was to start new industries and give an opportunity to find employment. He then turned to the financial question, which he discussed for an hour in a manner that showed -he was perfectly familiar with his subject. His unique comparison and droll wit brought' out round after round of applause. Uij-jpcer titan Bryan' Meeting. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.. ELKHART, Ind., Sdpt. 26. One of the largest political demonstrations ever witnessed in northern Indiana took place here last evening. All Elkhart and the surrounding country were out.

a first voters' club of 150 members. Elkhart contributed two bands, and among the other organizations was a hastily-formed club of ex-soldiers, got up by Jud-?e Collins make, an ex-so.dler and lifelong Democrat The streets and houses were elaborately decorated, and the enthusiasm was all-em bracing. Even many Democrats concede that the crowd was greater than when Bryan was here. Perry L. Turner and Hon. Charles M. Miller, of Goshen, spoke on tne lawn at A. K. tseardsley s home. Xo Fusion In Blackford. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. HARTFORD CITY, Ind., Sept. 26. Sev eral weeks ago the Populists decided to fuse with the Democrats in this county. When the day of the Democratic conven tion came around the Populists were ig nored entirely. Since then they have been disgruntled and to-day placed a full ticket in the field. The Democrats learned of their intention and arranged to bring here John K. Urunt, the Popocratic nominee for Congress, to fix up another deal, but the middie-of-the-roaders met eariy this morn ing and nominated a Popuilst county ticket. Sound-Money Democrat. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. DANVILLE Ind., Sept. 26. Judge T. J. Terhune opened the campaign for the sound-money Democrats in this county last1 night in a speech at the courthouse, which was heard by an audience of about three hundred. The audience was enthusiastic in its applause; The Judge attacked the Chicago platform bitterly and denounced Bryan in the strongest terms. His address wa3 as deliberative as if he were addressing a jury, and he scored point after point against the Chicago combination.

There are now slightly over 150 Democrats against the Bryan platform in this county. Big: Sleeting: ut Georgia. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Prof. John Clark Ridpath, candidate for Congress, was widely advertised to speak to Populists and free-silver Democrats here this afternoon. Quite a crowd turned out and he devoted most of his speech to the crime of 1873, regarding which his history of the United States is said to be silent. The attendance was not at all what had been expected and threw a sort of damper on the ardor of the speaker. He labored hard and long to work up a semblance of enthusiasm.

In November of this year John Simpson held a meeting at the cabin of Jeremiah Cox, which was attended by about twenty persons. This was the initial movement of the society. In 1803 the first Quaker meeting house in the county was erected. On the 30th of September, 119, the Whitewater monthly meeting was opened, and was the rirst establisheu meeting held in Indiana. There were then 2t5 Friends residing in Richmond and vicinity. On the Xth of October, 1821, the. Indiana Yearly Meeting was established. The present Indiana Yearly Meeting has about ao.oon members. There are a number of questions to come before the meeting this year, but some of them are only of minor importance. The pastoral question is claiming much attention. There is a tendency among the ministers to wander somewhat from the customs of the fathers in dress and manners, and they are being urged to cultivate simplicity in life and service, to avoid clerical style in dress and manners.1 to be constant and devout students of the Scriptures, keep in close contact with the people and seek for a deep individual experience, combined with faithful Bible study. The question of changing the time of holding the Yearly Meeting will also come up again this year. Indiana Yearly Meeting supports a number of institutions, either wholly or in part. Among these is Earlham College, Fairmount Academy, Spiceland Academy, Southland College and White's Institute. JACKSOX HILL STRIKERS Resist the Attempts! of the Company to Eject Them. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. HYMERA. Ind., Sept. 25. The strike situation at Jackson Hill is no better. The miners still contend for 60 cents a ton, which the operators say they cannot give. Should the strikers accept the price offered those who formerly made from $3.50 to 34 per day could make only from $3 to $3.50, working nine hours a day. Drivers and other day hands, making from $1.80 to $2, are not asked to take any reduction. The strike is principally on account of the machine runners, helpers and loaders, who are asked to accept a reduction of from 25 cents to 50 cents a day. The companyhas made several attempts to get possession of their houses, which are occupied by the, strikers, but the ejectment proceedings have not been very successful. On One occasion trey secured assistance from Terre Haute. They got part of the goods out of one house and threw up the job and left. Complaint has been made that the attempt to eject the miners is only a scheme to make the men lose their votes, but the general manager, who has charge of the work, is a Democrat, and the men to be ejected are all Democrats and Populists.
