' tn. the motion to ad- s t':3 was put and carried, The hall was absolutely jammed at 7 o'clock, when the convention re assembled, and still they sifted through the doors. Every inch of standing space wa3 held. Every spec tator and delegate had a small Amer ican flag in readiness for the Bryan demonstration later in the night. There developed a fashion of waving these flags lx time with the music, and 11,000 American flags fluttering against a four-sided background of red, white and blue is a sight to make any American citizen stand up and take vocal notice. By S o'clock the crowd wa3 begin ning to jam the aisles. Every en trance was immovably packed when Chairman Clayton called the conven tion to order. A committee of three was' appointed to go out and find what the Resolutions Committee might be doing. Ollie James, chairman of the sleuthing committee, reported that the Resolutions Committee wouldn't be ready to report i?ntil midnight. In view of the situation, he made a mo tion that the nominations for the Presidency be made in advance of the platform adoption. He made the provision that there be no balloting until after the platform should be voted .upon, and his resolution was adopted. At 9 o'clock the nominating speeches began, and delegates and spectators were gtirred with eager Tvith -heatj exhaustion and dea4 air as soon as the Speaker got ready io' give the signal. ..His concluding passage; ..delivered at 9.06 .o'clock, was a. fervid . tribute tfc 'thd ."commoner" a the intrepid lead.r who. had bar'nfj aloft the bat tle; carried the flag of Democracy through the campaigns of 1896 and 1900, with the devotion and faith of the crusaders of old days "Amer ica's great commoner, .Nebraska's gifted son, William J. Bryan." . This was the signal for. a ldngeon tinued uproar; ( rivalling Id intensity and. duration1 the demonstration of Wednesday; which lasted ,6ne hour and twenty-six minutes. Again;. the whole assemblage was .lashed into a fury of excitement. The delegates seized the States' standards and gath ered them on the presiding officer's platform, while the galleries broke into tumultuous, clamor. At times it assumed such proportions of madness as the excited throngs rushed through the aisles toward the platform that there was serious danger of panic. Men and women were bowled over in the mad onrush of flag-bearing en thusiasts'; One" woman fainted, and was carried frdni the haii. the galleries. . Delegates were4rdp ping into their" seats exhausted; ana white-faced women; some' of theiri weeping from excitement yrere being helped to dOors and windows for a breath of fresh air;, of which there was great need; for the vast hall was3 iike a furnace; , . " , , At 10. (X6, when the demonstration had been under way an even hour j it was still resounding and vigorous. Chairman Clayton pounded his gavel on the table in monotonous repetition. The crowd soon found a way to nul lify his, efforts.-. Every time he hit the table , thousand sh'dut.edi "Bryan!" and he found himself .fciayind th part of a basi drummer in a band; adding to the noise. ( .,'t ' In an effort to stop the .demonstra tion all the. lights, in the hall were turned out except two' big. clusters iji the ceiling over the platform'. This had the desired effect. The band played "I'm Afraid to Come Home in the Dark," and the tired spectators fell into their seats. , At . 10. 17 the demonstration was practically over.

The musicians in the gailery blew themselves blue in the fape, but the melody they were making Was in audible in the tornado of vocal energy that swept up to the walland star bedecked ceilings and descended again with tympanum splitting force. The leader of the band switched from geueral airs to old familiar tunes that any American can sing. The first was the "Red White and Blue." A few in the galleries took up the words, the spirit spread, and in a few seconds the words were in the mouths of 10,000, and listeners were treated to a thrilling rendition of the national air. At 9.36 Chairman Clayton, possibly deeming half an hour sufficient,, for the show of loyalty to Bryan, smashed his gavel against the table. If he was sincere in desiring to still the tumult, he took the wrong method of accomplishing hi3 object, for the sound of the gavel was the signal for a renewal of the hysteria and con certed noise-making. By this time the parade of stand ards and banners was passing through The lights were switched on, and the rollcail proceeded.

Then she sat with ih Texas delegation, apparently cool and com fortable, with not a strand of her brown hair disarranged, not a wrinkle in her filmy gown. And all around her men who had been doing nothing but cheer were wilting. Senator Gearin was brief, and Ar kansas, which had been passed in the rollcail, yielded to Governor Glenn, of North Carolina, who made the. chief seconding speech. Governor Swanson, of Virginia, by courtesy of Colorado, mads a second ing oration. -He is a tabloid orator and got away with credit. Governor Johnson's candidacy was next placed before the convention, Connecticut on the roll call yielding to Minnesota, represented by the Hon. Winfleld Scott Hammond. He was accorded careful attention and his nomination of Minnesota's Governor precipitated another whirlwind of ex citement, if not so long sustained, hardly less enthusiastic, than that for Bryan.

Most of these speeches had been scheduled in advance, but owing to the widespread Bryan sentiment and the desire of the various States to record their preference for him many impromptu speeches were made and nearly every State voiced its approval TB nominating and seconding .speeches having been concluded, the balloting began at 3 a. m Thomas F.

Board of Health, spurred to action by mem bers of women's clubs, started a cru sade against files. Queen Alexandra opened buildings intended as headquarters for the Royal National Pension Fund for j a life term in the penitentiary, Ifonroe. N. C, Special. Two nn Kh6wfl white men, one clad in the garb 6f a wonianv entered the home of Mr. John M. Morris, fl well-known farmer-merchant of the county : liv ing two miles east : . of Weddington Academy, at r 3 o 'clpck Saturday morning to burgularize it ; Mr. Mor ris was awakened by" th: intruders anf shot dead in his bed by them, his own gun being used, and the bur glars made good their eseape after securing a small amount oi ; . money from the home arid store of the mur dered man. .' he explosion of the gun awakened Mrs.- Morris, who was sleeping with" a child ill another bed. and she found the bed on Which her. husband lay on 1 fire. This she 4,hrew' ffl the floor and extinguished un.V saved 1 tli& ' house from being burned.- By the light of the flames . she recognized the two assassins as white menr one of them wearing a dress, supposedly as a dis frui.'e. ' ; . . v' Coroner Sykes empaneled a jur and held an inquest, examining about fifty witnesses. The verdict of the jury was that Mr. Morris came to his death at the hands of unknown per sons. Two white men of the neigh borhood, however, are suspected of the bloody Crime and the officers are now searching for them. These sus pects told parties that they were ihg away, saying to some that they were leaving for a. picnic in Stanley county and to 6thers that they were coming to Monroe, and It may be that these are the burglar-assassins! - The home of Mr. Morris is located in the same building in which he con ducted, a store, and robbery was what led to the brutal murder. . When the burglars entered the sleeping room they found" Mr. Morris'. gun in a rack on the wall and when lie awoke shot him with it before he could move. ' The assassin wa& standing within a few feet of the bed and the cV.scharge of the gun set the bed clothes afire. The load entered the dead man's, side just below the ribs, tearing a great hole through the body. Death was almost instantan eous. The gun used with such deadly effect was carried off by the burglars when they fled. Mrs. Morris, bereft of her husband in a moment and : without warning, and with no protection left her, not even a pistol, and with two assassins just leaving the house, waa terrified beyond bounds, but her self-possession did not leave her, and with the child clinging, to her side in fright, and not understanding the catastro phe, she went outside and gave the alarm. '' - It was a weird sight which met the gaze of the" first hurrying men who came to the rescue. The dead man lay half way across the bed where he had been peacefully sleeping only a few minutes -before. : The burned bee1, clothing told .another part of the story, and an open door in the house where the two men, who were seen by Mrs. Morris escaping told the re mainder of the story. Men with lanterns, and armed for an emergency, sought about the house, and store for traces qf the burglars and assassin, and. scoured the nearby sections , but without avail. The burglars had, successfully eluded de tection and were doubtless making their hasty retreat from the scene of the crime when, the seacbers arrived on the scene, ' About $25, which Mr. Morris was known to have in his possession at tho time, was missing when, in tb early gray of' the day, friends of the stricken woman, who had eorco to her aid, instituted a more system atie search than could be made in the darkness of the , night. Out in the back yard of the dwelling which was a store, with rooms built to the side for the family, was. found the pants of the dead man with the pockets rifled. Mr. Morris had about $12 on his person when he closed his store. Rash Deed of Insane Wife. Winston-Salem, N. C, Special. In a fit of insanity Mrs. Thomas V. Pfaff, of 922 Aead?my street, Salem, attempted to take the life of her hus band by striking him a terrific blow on the side of the head with - an axe while he ' lay. aslep about 8 o'clock Sunday morning, - and afterwards tried to commit suicide by jumping into a well in the yard. She was on the verge of making the descent to the bottom of thewell and eternity when Mr. Pfaff, who had partially re covered from the effect of the blow, arrived.

' ' S ; Eoston, Special. A fire, believed to have been caused by - spontaneous eoffibustion or a locomotive spark and fanned by a brisk northwest wind swept nearly a quarter of a mile of the harbor front . of East "Boston late Wednesday, causing a property loss estimated at nearly $1,500,000. Much of the loss falls upon the Boston & Albany "railroad. One person .waa reported missing and it is thought he, perished in the flames.- He was Dan iel Sullivan ,a watchman at the Ca nard line "pier. The fire1 was the biggest and most destructive that has broken out along the 'harbor front for many years. The flames spread with remarkable rapidity and by the time the first fire fighting apparatus arrived on the scene they were beyond control and leaping from pier to pier. ' ' ' , "vvithin an hour cf the time the fire was discovered, four piers, three warehouses, a grain elevator contain ing 30,000 bushels of grain and manv loaded - freight cars had been de stroyed. Several vessels and lighters nar rowly escaped destruction. The big: Leyland line steamer Devonian, which arrived Tuesday from Liverpool was destroyed. The discipline on the Devonian was so excellent Jiowever, that she was warped out into the stream without even having a square inch of paint blistered. Less fortu nate were the' British bark Belmont, of Yarmouth, U. S., and the schoon ers Paul Palmer, a five-masted craf. and the 0. H." Brown, a four-masted schconerr The Belmont was moored by steel cable to the pier where the fire started. So qnickly did the flames envelop the wharf and warehouse that it was impossible to slip the ca bles from the mooring posts, and it was necessary to resort to the te dious piccGss of cutting a half dozen or more of the great wire ropes. . . I Revolutionists Ax8 Defeated. 1 St. Petersburg, By Cable. Dis patches received say fighting began Wednesday night at Tabritz, Persia, the city held by revolutionists and &t- -tacked by the Shah's troops. Twa hundred were killed in the fight and it.is believed a massacre followed, al though wires are cut and detail could not be learned. The defense of the revolutionists was meagre and it is believed the city fell about the time the telegraph station there was destroyed. The troops are irregulars and. semi-barbaric and it is believed to be certain that theplace will be pillaged and the inhabitants clain if they have succeeded in entering. . To Exhibit in Memphis.
