ACCIDENT IN MICHIGAN. YOUNG IDLE "SPEEDER" COULD GET WAS RIDING A AND BEFORE HE IT OFF TRACKS TRAIN CRASHED INTO HIM. At the local Pennsylvania railroad telegraph office last evening word was received last evening of the death of George Idle, a well known young railroad man, who made this city his headquarters. Young Idle met his death by being struck by G. R. & I. passenger train No. 12, due in this city at 9:42 in the morning, near Thorpton, Mich. The accident occurred about 4 o'clock yesterday. According to the advices received here. Idle was going down the main track near Thorpton on a "speeder," which is a email handcar operated by one man, when he heard No. 32 approaching. While Idle was attempting to remove the "speeder" from the track, the big passenger engine crashed down upon him, tossing him Into the air, causing Instant death. The body was horribly mangled. The engineer did not 6ee Idle in time to stop his engine, and when it struck the young man it was running at a rapid rate. Idle was in charge of the telephone service on the G. R. & I., and was regarded' as an expert in his profession. He traveled from place to place along the line, establishing, telephone systemsand making necessary repairs on the old systems. He had a host of friends in this city and all of them were greatly shocked to hear of his terrible death. Just recently young Idle completed work on establishing a telephonagraph 1 system In this city. It is said to be one of the most complete of its kind , in this part of the country. He worked about two months on the system and Just a few days ago he left for a tour of inspection on the northern part of the road.

STOLE MONEY TO GET WHISKY When Caught Theodore Conner Was Happy.

Officer Westenberg found Theodore Conner at the corner of Eighth and North D streets in a very happy state of mind about 8 o'clock last evening. Conner was enjoying the effects of whisky purchased with stolen money. The man strolled into the plant of the Richmond Baking Company yesterday afternoon. He said he was hungry. He was given cakes and bread, but when leaving took with him money and clothing belonging to Roy Stanley, an employe. It is probable Conner will be charged with petit larceny and public intoxication. RELATIONS SEVERED WITH THIS COUNTRY Venezuelan Minister Is Withdrawn From Washington. NO WAR IS IN PROSPECT. NOTWITHSTANDING ALL DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS HAVE BEEN SEVERED, CONFLICT IS NOT PROBABLE. Washington, July 10. The diplomatic relations between America and Venezuela that have existed uninterruptedly for more than half a century, though in recent years, severely strained, were yesterday completely severed. At 3:30 o'clock in the after noon Scuor Veloz Goitica, the Venezuelan charge d'affaires, called at the state department by appointment to present to Acting Secretary Bacon notice from his government that he was to quit his post, closing the Venezuela legation in Washington and repair forthwith to Venezuela. The charge executed his commission punctiliously. In a few minutes' talk he explained to the acting secretary that the action of the state department in withdrawing Jacob Sleeper, the American charge, from Caracas and in closing up its legation there made it necessary for his government to take similar action in the case of its own legation in Washington. Therefore he was leaving Washington at the earliest moment that he could arrange his domestic affairs to do so, which will be today and will proceed directly to New York, there to take passage for Venezuela on Saturday. Sorry to See Him Go. Speaking subsequently about the matter, Mr. Bacon said the personality of Mr. Veloz had nothing to do with the severance of diplomatic relations between the countries, so was very sorry to see Mr. Veloz go, as their relations had been very friendly. Now as to the future, it is pointed out by officials who have followed closely the developments in the Venezuelan situation that there is not the slightest danger of war in the immedi ate future or indeed at all. GOOD HUNTSMEN. Charles Jordan, county superintend ent, Harry Penny, county clerk, Charles Potter, township trustee and Bert Chenoweth went hunting yester day afternoon. Seventeen squirrels and one rabbit fell victims to the unerring aim of three of the quartet. Potter was field marshal and directed the maneuvers from the carriage. THfcL AG,l- t iocK. Be la "Short With Silence" and la as Qalck as Lightning;. Most wild animals are specialists that is to say, they are highly developed in one particular direction. The tiger is great as a stalker. His feet seem to be "shod with silence." R. H. Elliot, for many years a resident of India, cited an experience of one of his ueighbors illustrative of this point. He had been much annoyed by tigers and nt last tied a bullock out in a clearing and took up his own position in a tree to wait till the tiger should come after the bait. The ground was covered with dried leaves, which in hot weather are so brittle that even the walking of a bird over them can be heard for a good distance. In no very long time a large tiger slipped out of the forest and slowly edged toward the bullock. His method was so elaborate and careful that the man who saw it used to declare that it would have been worth 1,000 rupees to any young sportsman to have witnessed it. So carefully did he put down each paw and so gradually did he crush the leaves under it that not a sound was to be heard. Between him and the bullock was a stump about four feet high, with long projecting surface roots. This, plainly, the tiger looked upon as a godsend. He got upon one of the roots, balanced himself carefully and so was able to walk quickly and silently as far as the stump. He approached so gradually and noiselessly and his color against the brown leaves was so invisible that he was close upon the bullock Vofore he was perceived. Then instantly the bullock charged. The tiger eluded him and in a moment more had his paws on the bullock's neck ready to drag him down. Then, like a flash, he caught sight of the rope by which the bullock was tied and turned and sprang into the forest, all so quickly that the man in the tree had no opportunity to fire.

HUNTING FOR WORK;

IS ATTACKED James Clark Says He Was Beaten and Rendered Unconscious. EXCITING STORY IS TOLD. CLARK ON RECOVERING AND WITH CLOTHES SENSES DISAR RAYED, RAN TO STATION FOR AID. OLIVE HILL For the first time in many moons, a real-for-sure mystery taie has been told Supt. Bailey and the assistance j of the police asked. The story is told by a man about forty years of age, who gives his name as James Clark and claims to ls a resident of Wilkesbarre. Pa. The account was related first in the little depot of the Panhandle line at. Olive Hill, seven miles northwest of the city. Breathless and with clothes disarrayed, Clark staggered into the station last evening about 10 o'clock. He told the operator he had been struck on the head and attacked by two men, who had robbed him. The operator notified Capt. Trump, of the Panhandle police department and he and Officer Bundy went to Olive Hill and returned to this city with Clark. The stranger claims he came to this city Tuesday night and had remained here until yesterday afternoon. He says that at about 4 o'clock he met a strange man near the Railroad Store, who asked if he wanted a job in the country. Clark accepted and was told to go to Olive Hill on the afternoon train and walk about a mile west of the station to a farm house, where help was needed. Clark says he followed out instructions. Arriving at the station he took up his walk. According to his story two men followed him from the depot and when quite a distance away one overtook him. Clark turned in answer to a question and was struck in the face and knocked toward the other ntfin. who thrust his hand, which contained a white powder into Clark's face. The latter became unconscious and upon awakening some three hours later found he had been robbed of all his money, amounting to about ?13. He made his way to the station and sought aid. Supt. Bailey will investigate the case. TO WRITE SPEECH While Preparing Address of Acceptance, Taft Wants Seclusion. FRIENDS ASKED TO ASSIST. Hot Springs, Va., July 10 W. H.

He has not written a word of his speech to be delivered in Cincinnati July 2S. Not until it is completed does he desire to discuss the document with his friends. Before it is made public, however, he will submit it to a number of the leaders of the party to get their views upon it. j SHOOT BEING HELD. Out of Town Marksmen pating.

BATTLESHIP FLEET FAB OUT OF PORT

More Than Four Hundred Miles Left Behind. San Francisco, Cal., July 10. A wireless message received at the Mare Island Navy Yard stated that the Atlantic fleet was 40S miles out from port. The message was sent from the battleship Connecticut. It further stated that weather conditions were fine and that the fleet is speeding in squadron formation at 10 knots. The battle ship Nebraska, which was detained in quarantine on account of scarlet fever on board, having been thoroughly fumigated, sa!ed today to rejoin the fleet at Honolulu. MEN ARE ON TRIAL Accused of Inciting Riot at Corner of Eighth and Main Streets. HAWORTH CHIEF WITNESS. HE STATES THAT WHEN HE STRUCK RENK HE ACTED IN SELF DEFENSE ALL KINDS OF WEAPONS USED. George Renk. Clyde Renk, Walter Renk and Charles Weisbrod were on trial in the city court today, charged with inciting a riot and assault and battery upon Harry Haworth and John Hill. The defendants are members of the Richmond City band and are accused of engaging in a fight at the corner of Eighth and Main streets, last Saturday afternoon with Haworth and Hill, conductor and motorman of a street car on which the four hd been riding. The trial was held be fore a jury and the examination of witnesses occupied the entire day. In his testimony on the stand Haworth bore out the statement made after his arrest to the effect he had acted solely upon the defense and the members of the band were the aggres sors. He reiterated his statement the trouble arose over his refusal to issue transfers to two members of the band in exchange for complimentary tick ets. He asserted this to be against the rules of the company. There was a disparity in the num ber of band members who made the attack on the train crew, as stated by witnesses. The numbers ranged from three to six. All witnesses agreed that the fighters used music racks, fists and a coupling pin in making their defense. Several of the wit nesses claimed the car crew was fight ing on the defensive and resorted to every method of protection. ICE HOUSE BURNED Rettig & Johnson Company Heavy Losers Through Fire This Afternoon. CIGARETTES THE CAUSE. This afternoon about 4:30 o'clock the ice plant of the Rettig & Johnson Ice commpany at Hawkins' Springs, northeast of the city, caught on fire and, despite the efforts of the fire department, which made a quick run, was burned to the ground. It is thought that the fire was caused by men smoking in the house. Just before the fire started three men and a boy, " whose names are unknown, were seen leaving th building, all of the men smoking cigarettes. B. B. Johnson, one of the proprietors of the plant, states that there were about 1,000 tons of ice stored in the build ing. There was about $500 insurance on the building and about $200 insur ance on the ice. The loss will exceed this amount considerably. The fire department took the fire engine to the blaze and the flames were fought by pumping water out of the pond. CITY STATISTICS. Deaths and Funerals.

STATE FEDERATION OF CLUBS ASSURED

Commercial Bodies of Indiana Like the Idea of Joining Together. PROMOTERS ENCOURAGED. FIRST MEETING WILL BE IN RICHMOND AS SOON LARGER NUMBER OF RESPOND TO CALL. HELD AS A CLUBS So encouraged are President John r. McCarthy and secretary E. M. Haas of the Richmond Commercial club by the general response from various commercial organizations in all parts of the state in regards to th?ir proposal to organize a state federation of commercial organizations that they will within a short time set the date for the meeting to be held in this city, to effect such an organization. So far eleven commercial organizations have approved of the plans of Mr. McCarthy and Mr. Haas. As nearly all the Commercial organizations in the state only meet once a month, it will take some time before j all of them can act on the suggestion,' but just as soon as every organization invited to assist in the movement has been heard from a date for the meeting will be set. Mr. Haas stated today that the commercial clubs in the following towns and cities had accepted invitations to attend the Richmond meeting: Indianapolis. Terre Haute, Evansville. Delphi. Rennsselaer. Decatur. Andrews, Anderson, Hammond. North Manchester and Linton. Within a week Mr. Haas will mail letters to all clubs not heard from so far, urging that they take prompt action on the matter so that definite arrangements for the meeting could be made. In sending the acceptance of the Terre Haute Commercial club. Secretary W. H. Duncan writes to Mr. Ilas; in part as follows: "Personally I am in favor of the movement and I think if the varjous clubs throughout the state would take the right kind of interest it would prove beneficial to all. I have often wondered why such an organization was not formed." John Isenbarger president of the North Manchester Commercial club, writes to Mr. Haas that he is heartily in sympathy with the movement and that if the proposed league is formed much good will result from it. Secretary W. V. Dixon of the Evansville Commercial club writes to Mr. Haas stating that his club endorses the movement but is of the opinion that meeting for organization should be held at Indianapolis instead of Richmond, because Indianapolis is more centrally located. However, he adds, he takes for granted that Richmond, as the promoter of the league, would want to have the first meeting. In all the letters of acceptance Mr. Haas has received the movement Is spoken of in a most enthusiastic manner. KERN IS THE CHOICE OF (Continued From Page One) Clark Howell of Atlanta in nomina tion. He said that Marshall had said that he came from a state where democracy was frequently defeated. but never discouraged. "I come," he said, from a state which was never defeated. The South furnishes votes. why not give her a place on the tick et." Demonstration for Folk. Florida yielded to Missouri, and Governor Folk took the stand. He received the most applause given dur ing the day. Delegates from a score of states joined the demonstration which lasted five minutes and then broke out again. Folk's appealing gesture at last got everyone quiet and he began his speech. He said that the republican party which he spoke of as the "mysterious stranger in Mis souri," would be driven out next fall. He made a pretty democratic talk. Gov. Folk also felt the importance of extreme care in filling the ticket. He made a dramatic pause, then announced in behalf of Missouri that he seconded the nomination of John W. Kern. Idaho seconded Towne's nomination. Mitchell Nominated. Fred J. Kern, of Illinois, responded for that state. He said that he was commanded by the democracy of Illinois to deliver a messaage to the convention. They had been sent here to vote for Bryan. They had done so, and the Democrats of Illinois also sent a delegation here to vote for the greatest labor leader the world ever saw for vice-president, John Mitchell, ex-head of the mine workers of America. This brought a lively sound of applause, mostly from the galleries. "With Mitchell on the ticket." he said, "there would be really only one ticket in the field." He then eloquently described the great results that could be accomplished by Mitchell. He declared Mitchell had commissioned them to say that in the platform adopted there was all that labor could reasonably expect. He then sprung the most remarkable surprise imaginable on the convention by sayipg that Mitchell had declined to permit the use of his name and therefore Illinois could not present his name, but would second the nomination of Kern of Indiana. The ; convention gasped for a time and then

caught the joke. laughed and cheered. Indiana yielded to Alabama and Congressman J. T. Heflin who tried to second Bryan's nomination last night and was howled down, was given another chance and made a neat little speech seconding Kern's nomination. Martin J. Wade responded when Iowa w as called. He said Iowa intended nominating a candidate for vice-

president in the person of Hon. Jerry B. Sullivan of Des Moines but in view of the love of Iowans for one candidate Sullivan would not have his name presented, but Iowa will second the nomination of Kern. He declared that while Iowa has never been a democratic state it would soon be. He believed the electoral vote of Iowa would be cast for Bryan and Kern. Kansas declared she wanted to vote for Mitchell, but with him out of the running she did not care a hang who was chosen. Ollie James seconded the nomination of Kern for Kentucky. His praise of Kern was in a tone which ; always catches the convention and . he got much applause. Senator Lee i .M,iiMiiu sriiniuru n;- nominal itui of Towne of Michigan and declared she would give Kern her twentyeight votes. Minnesota declared she was not going to sulk because Johnson was defeated but would work loyally for the ticket and seconded the candidacy of Archibald McNeil. Mississippi second Kern. The chairman of the Missouri delegation said that his state had intended to support the nomination of Ex-Gov. Francis, but he declined to permit the use of his name and Missouri seconded the nomination of Kern. Nevada seconded Towne's nomination. New Hampshire was for John W. Kern. Charles F. Murphy arose when New York was called and said New York had no can didate. North Dakota was for Kern and Ohio, or at least a majority of that delegation, seconded the nomin ation of Kern. Oklahoma missed her chance to make a speech by passing. D. J. Caton of Pennsylvania who said Pennsylvania had a candidate of her own, but deferred to the evident wishes of the convention and would second the nomination of Kern. South Dakota seconded Towne's nomination. Col. J. D. Ball of Texas, declared it was the purpose of Texas to present to the convention for vice-president a man who in "Our judgment would be a most acceptable candidate to go on the ticket with Bryan. I refer to that democrat of the state of Delaware who in my judgment and that of Tex as, would be the right man, Judge George Gray." But fellow democrats. we are advised by Delaware that Gray can not afford to accept now. For that rea ym and not for any desire to get into the band wagon Texas is for John W. Kern. Towne withdraws in favor of Kern and Hill of Georgia withdraws Clark Howell's name and Kern will probably be nominated on the first ballot. Irving Handy of Delaware was given the floor and said that Delaware wanted to thank Texas for the kindly action toward Judge Gray. Handy declared Judge Gray's delegation would not accept second place on the ticket and it was not due to any ill feeling because of the nomination of another man for the presidency. It was due to personal reasons. He read this telegram from Judge Gray: "Do not under any circumstances allow my name to be presented to the convention for the vicepresidency as I would not under any circumstances accept it. George Gray." Towne Withdraws. Charles A. Towne of New York, was recognized and he was cheered vigorously. Towne said, "It becomes, I think, plainly apparent what the sentiment of this convention Is, as to the candidate for vice-president. In defense of this evidence, I think my friends and relieve them of any further obligation." Towne said he gave up one office to become a democrat." It's not necessary for me to have office to be a good democrat. I shall advocate the election of Bryan and Kern." J. Hoge Tyler took the stand for Virginia. Tyler made a pretty typically complimentary talk, about the Western country and western demo crats. He told several stories and fin ally stated that he was here to pre sent the name of a citizen of the old commonwealth. He was Just about to Home Tel. 2062

On behalf of Oklahoma he seconded the nomination of Kern after he had paid a high compliment to the democracy Hoosier state. West Virginia seconded Kern. Gov, Higglns of Rhodd Island was given three rousing cheers. He said that New England had come to the convention t support the candidacy of Archibald McNeill, but in view of the well night unanimous sentiment in favor of Kern, Rhode Island seconded the nomination of the Indiaian. Congressman Lontx of Ohio, seconded Kern's nomination on behalf of Ohio. New Jersey then asked Connecticut to cousent to the nomination of Kern bv acclamation so that both the

New York came here to consult and confer and do what other states saw fit. PREDICTED FOR KERN. When Asked, Taggart Said John W. Would Be the Man. Denver, Col.. July when Chairman Taggart entered the hall at one o'clock there was a rush In his direction by the newspaper correspondents, who essayed to drag from him the right "information" on the situation. "Looks like Kern of Indiana," said Taggart. "I don't know anything definite, but in my judgment. Kern will be nominated on the second or third ballot. There may be a fight, but Kern's friends are confident of the outcome." The livest vice presidential wlr this morning around the hotels Is that -of Herman Ridder, editor of the New York Staats Zeitung. The story on which the Ridder boom is explained Is that it is good politics to place a gold democrat on the ticket with Bryan so that the cementing of the two factions of the party may be sealed and lasting. For this reason. Gray was so urgently desired that it was almost de cided to nominate him anyhow, when he stated positively that he would decline the iomlnation if made and it is said he strongly intimated in deculn-. ing, that he would say plainly he did not approve either the presidential candidate or the platform. In considering the chances ' of the Ridder boom It was borne In mind that Francis of Missouri, declined to allow his name to go before the convention. There was rood authority for the statement th 'raneis agreed that he would permit the use of his name if he was not objectionable to Bryan. 'The Inference 13 plain. It Is hard to believe that Ridder would be any more acceptable to Bryan than Francis, while there were reasons why ho should be less so, for Ridder opposed Bryan's nomination to the last, while Francis did not. It Is known that the relations between Tammany and the German-American publisher are not the most cordial in the world. There waa a good deal of talk this morning of a movement to give the nomination to Johnson of Minnesota. Despite the email vote of Minnesota for prebident, there is a v holesome regard for bis demonstrated vote-getting ability among the practical politicians 01 the convention. There is little talk as yet about the national chairmanship. It is not likely there will be any definite action to fill Taggart 'a place until there is a chance to consult Bryan. TAKES VACATION. It is Sergeant McManus' turn and this morninlg he began a vacation ol ten days. All members of the police department are allowed this length of time.
