It will be something like Hamlet t -without the melancholy Dane, for it la merely a ratification meeting to renominate Representative Edgar D. Crumpacker. of Valparaiso, and Judge Crumpacker will net be present, the pressure of his congressional duties having made it impossible for him to leave Washington at this time. He Is represented, however, by his brother, Grant Crumpacker, and- by as loyal a lot of friends as ever stood behind a member of Congress. Aside from nominating Mr. Crumpacker the convention will adopt resolutions in- " dorsing the national and state administration and the district's candidates for state eßees, J. Frank Hanly, Secretary of State Storms and State Statistician D. F. Johnson. Candidates for state offices constitute a large part of the'erowd here now, and. Indeed, It is not to be expected that they will be greatly outnumbered to-morrow, for Laporte is In a remote corner of the district and there is nothing In the way of a contest to attract visitors. The candidates here to-night include Mr. Hanly; the three aspirants for Lieutenant Governor, L. p. Newby. Walter L. Ball and Hugh Miller; L. I. Nash. Frank Smith y and George W. Self, who want the nomina- . tloa for reporter; Secretary of State Btorms. Attorney General Miller, Auditor of State Sherrlck and State Treasurer Hill. Judge A. S.

The imported nonunion laborers were Armenians, who refused to stand their ground and fled before a further demonstration ensued.

OPENING

LAFAYETTE IX A PANIC

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. Ind.. April 4. The first death in Daviess county resulting from the flood occurred yesterday near Plalnvllle, eleven miles north of this city. The victim was May, the four-year-old daughter of Henry Martin, a prominent farmer.

The exposure accompanying the change eleveloped pneumonia, from which the child died. The body was taken in a boat by the father to a landing, where an undertaker took It In charge. The funeral was held to-day. Two other daughters of Mr. Martin are critically sick with pneumonia, contracted from exposure. White river has begun rising again in this vicinity.

As the water is receding slowly, the farmers have abandoned all hopes of saving their wheat crops and the wheat ground will be plowed up and planted In corn. There are many people living In White river bottoms in the second stories of their houses who cannot be reached by boats. They must remain there until the backwater recedes. A fair estimate of the property and crop losses along the Wabash and White rivers is 5100.000. RUMOR AT LAFAYETTE CAUSES BRIEF PANIC Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE, Ind., April 4.-A panic was created in Lafayette and vicinity tonight by the rumor of the breaking of the reservoir at Cellna, O.

Families living in the low places in Lafayette and vicinity were warned, and the police made preparations for the reception of the flood. Boats were secured and every thing was in readiness to save lives and property, members of both day and night forces of the police and fire departments being kept ready for instant action. The news spread over the citv in a" re markably short time, and within an hour after the message was received here all or the people seemed to be Informed on the matter. At the present high-water mark of the river a rise of such proportions wouia sweep away bridges, many homes and lumber yards, not counting the lives that would probably be sacrirtced. The city was electrified by the news and until late to-night the residents crowded the bridge, watching for the first sign of the rise, despite the later report that there was nothing in the rumor whatever. FLOOD SUFFERERS IN DIRE NEED IN MARION Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MARION, Ind., April 4.

The commissioners estimate the damage at between $20,000 and $23.000, and there is a possibility that these figures will bo too small to meet the loss in case some of the bridges are damaged as badly as reported. The damage to property and roads in this county is far in excess of what it was six years ago, and the damage to railroads And the traction line in the county will bring the total up to a high figure.

The miller will be compelled to make the necessary changes in his race. MOVEMENT TO DREDGE THE SALAMONIA RIVER PORTLAND, Ind., April 4. Business in this city is slowly recovering from the effects of the flood, but it will be a long timef before all the damage can be repaired. One effect of the two floods within a week has been to put on foot a movement to force the dredging of the.Salamonia river. An action of this kind was once instituted in- court here and was fought for several years, the remonstrators finally winning, but the present law is different and Ihe conditions of the river so much worse that the friends of the dredge have a strong chance to win. It will cost over $15o.O"0. HlRltent Flood Since 18SS. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WILLIAMSPORT. Ind.. April 4. The Wabash river began falling, after the second rise, yesterday afternoon.
