Cleveland, June 80.—One man was
electrocuted near here, another was
horribly shocked and several were se
verely burned. The accident occurred
at Nine Mile Creek, in the eastern
suburbs. The men were building a
stone abutment with the aid of a huge
derrick.

to position. The rope went over the

It is evidently the object of the presi
dent by some diplomatic move to secure
the Cubans an advantage without
affording Spain ground for open expres
sion of offense. It seems likely that
Mr. McKinley, in pursuance of this ob
ject. will demand that Spain shall cease
killing prisoners of war apd shall ac
cord to the insurgents their rights as
human beings engaged in honorable
warfare.
This, it is held, would materially aid
the insurgent cause ‘
the plane of a mere mob rebellion
against lawful authority, and it is ar
gued that Spain could not refuse such a
request without prejudicing herself in
the eyes of all civilized nations and in
viting an act of greater interference on
the part of the United States.
DEA0 MAN IS IDENTIFIED.
Mutilated Remains Found In New York
Those ot W illiam Ualdensnppe.
New York, June 30.—Positive identi
fication by nine men makes it seem cer
tain that the man who was murdered
some time last week and who was cut
into two parts, one of the parts being
taken to the Ogdon woods, near the
Washington bridge, and the other
thrown into the East river, from which
it was taken at Eleventh street, was
William Guldensuppe, a rubber in the
Murry Hill baths.
The rubbers in the baths, as well as
Dr. .1, S. Cosby, a frequenter of the
baths, have identified the remains of
the man at the morgue. Dr. Cosby’s
identification was by means of a cica
trix on the finger, caused by a felon
which he had lanced for Guldensuppe.
Eight of flic batiis’ attendants were at
tiie morgue and all of them are positive
that the mutilated remains there are
those of Guldensuppe.
Mrs. Mack, the midwife, with whom
Guldensuppe had lived, was at polio6
headquarters. Captain O’Brien of the
detective bureau had an honr’s secret
conference with the woman. Dr. Cosby
and the bath attendants, after whioh
he said in tho course of a short time he
would make a statement regarding the
ease.
Herman Nack, husband of the wo
man with whom Guldensuppe had been
consorting, has been placed under ar-
:c:t. Mrs. Nack has been identified as
one of the women who purchased a fig

Convention Called to Order.
When the convention was called to
order at 10 a. m. by Chairman Dnrbin
he congratulated the party on the signs
of the times and the enthusiastic con
dition of the party. He made a speech
for free silver.
Prayer was offered by Rev. E L.
Rexford, pastor of the Universalist
church in this oity, and then Hon. Ul-
ric Sloane was introduced as the tempo-
rary chairman of the convention.
Just before the convention was called
to order a large gold cross was carried
into the hall. It had as ornaments thB
crown of thorns and a clock indicating
16 minutes to 1 o’clock. It was quite
large and as it formed the centerpiece
among the floral designs about thh
stage, Chairman Sloane in gesture
pointed to it with great effect as he pro
ceeded with his vigorous speech. There
was also a living white rooster perohed
on the stage to add to the enthusiasm.
The speech of Chairman Sloane was
frequently interrupted with the wildest
demonstrations of applause, and es-
mcially in his references to silver. The
ceynote of everything was silver. The
Glee elnb that entertained the large au
dience in the early hoars sang only sil
ver songs, and it was on the silver
chords that Chairman Sloane struck the
responses.
Bryan’s Name Sat ’Em Wild.
The greatest demonstration of the
convention followed that part of Chair
man Sloane’s speech in which he re
ferred to William J. Bryan as the leader
of the silver cause for 1900, and it was
with this climax that the speaker closed
his keynote speech. w-
The committee on rules and order of
business made the usual report, with the
exception of a supplemental report on
the question of leaving one vacancy on
the state ticket to be filled by the state
league of silver Republicans. The re
port referred the question back to the
convention without recommendation.
A commnnication was then presented
from the Populist state committee also
asking for a place on the Democratic
state ticket with a view to fusion, the
place to be filled by the state committee
of the People’s party.
The special report and the communi
cation to give the silver Republicans
an i Populists each a place on tbe state
ticket, were laid on the table after a
heated discussion.
After the discussion of the report on
credentials, which settled immaterial
contests in the Fonrth and Seventh con
gressional districts, the temporary or
ganization was made permanent.
General A J. Warner, as chairman
of the committee on resolutions, re
ported the platform, whioh was londly
cheered and adopted.
Warner Hakes Explanation.
*3taneral Warner explained that the
committee was unanimous in present
ing tbe majority report that covered
ably tbe financial question, bnt that
supplemental resolntions would be of
fered by the minority of the committee.
Tbe anti-trust resolution, presented
to tbe committee by Caspar Lowenstein
and adopted, is as follows:
"We hereby declare all trusts and mo
nopolies hostile and dangerous to the
people’s interest and a standing mtnace
to the perpetuity of our free institu
tions; and we demand the vigorous en
forcement of all anti-trast laws and
snoh additional legislation as may be
necessary for their immediate and final
suppression.”
L. O. Cole presented the Caban reso
lution that had been offered to tbe com
mittee and it was adopted as follows:
"We demand the immediate recogni
tion of the belligerent rights of the re
public ot Cuba as an act of justice to an
American nation straggling for liberty
against a foreign oppression, and we
denounce and protest against the action
of Senator Hanna in voting to nullify
the memorial presented to congress
unanimously by the legislature of Ohio
in favor of the Caban patriots.”

Victims Christian Endearorers.
The victims of the collision were
Christian Enaeavor delegates, who left
Chicago enronte for the great conven
tion in San Francisco. The colliding
trains were sections Noa 4 and 5 of a
Christian Eudeavor special sent ont in
nine sections, beginning at 10:30 p. m.
Section No. 5 ran iuto section Na 4,
which left Chicago 15 minutes ahead of
it Section Na 4 carried the Wiscon
sin delegatea nearly 500 strong, and in
the rear sleeper were people from Fond
dn Lao, Green Bay, Appleton and other
Wisconsin citiea
Section Na 4. had come to a stop jnst
out of West Chicago where the Free
port line diverges from the main line.
Section No. 5 came up behind with
speed and the shook of .the colli-
was terrific.
The passengers in the two rear sleep
ers ot section No. 4 were all in their
bertha Those not killed outright awoke
find themselves jammed in the
wreckage.
Passengers on both trail ? hastened to
the spot and began the work of rescue.
An immediate call for help was made
on every point within reaching dis
tance. Chicago was notified and asked
to send physicians at once, and medical
help was requested from Geneva,
Wheaton and Aurora.
Hotels Used as Hospitals.
The Chicago and Northwestern offi
cials did everything in their power to
relieve the sufferers. The two hotels in
West Chicago were turned into hos
pitals and physicians were, promptly to
attendance.
The sections following those which
met disaster, 6, 7. 8 and 9, carrying
2.500 passengers, were delayed upwards
of three hoars. Finally the north track
was cleared and they were enabled to
proceed.
As soon as the wreck was reported to
the local officers of the Chicago and
Northwestern, Superintendent Stewart
of the Galena division ordered a special
train and went to the scene. Other
officials dispatched messengers for the
company’s doctors and Assistant Gqp-
eral Superintendent W. A Gardner aud
orps of surgeons left immediately
Wes “ ‘
ville next week and incidentally makes
a severe arraignment of National Chair
man Marion Butler’s policy. In the
{ coarse of thiB editorial he suys:
•We would really like to know how
Populist principles are to grow by being
traded off, first to one ot the old parties
and then to the other; and we especially
hnnger and thirst to know how warfare
on both the old parties is to thrive when
an office barter exchange is established
with both.
■We trust the Nashville conference
will deride the vexed question of fu
sion in such a manner that no Populist
can be uncertain of the party doctrine.
"Oar own belief is that no gentleman
I will remain in the People’s party if the
[ idea once gets abroad that Populism
and Hessianism are synonymous terms.
If our voters are mere mercenaries to
be traded for offices in any market
where there is a demand for them, no
decent man will be canght in that com.
pnny.”

precipitated if the purpose of a mob of
whites to lynch a negro charged with
rape was carried ont, apparently has
subsided.
Information received by the secretary

The local authorities, it is stated, took
no steps to preserve order. Notwith
standing this fact the town is perfectly

from Governor Bloxham of Florida
stating that the sheriff of Key West

not materalize and that everything
there is quiet and orderly.
