The sky was gray and fain fell at intervals. As the delegations filed in and took their respective posts beneath their banners there was much cheering and enthusiasm. The galleries were packed, many brilliantly gowned women being among the spectators. These added a touch of lively color to the solid, sombre background; Ovations greeted all the leaders. As Theodore Roosevelt marched in with tho Nassau county delegation the enthusiasm became frenzied. The Roosevelt rooters jumped to their feet and pandemonium of ' cheers marked the progress of their chief to his seat. . ' Vice-president Sherman was greet ed by lesser outburst of noise. The Albany, county delegation led the cheers for' William Barnes,, Jr., leader of the old guard. Ovations also heralded the entry ; of United States Senator Root, Mr. Woodruff, Speaker Wadsworth of the assembly; Lloyd. Grlscom, Colonel Roosevelt's chief aide, and the minor leaders. The band played patriotic music and the gallorlos frequently gave vent to bursts of prolonged noise. Many car ried flags which they waved in a tren ded manner. Some ;one mentioned President Taft's name and the ap plause became deafening. The polic ing arrangements were almost perfect and despite the noise there was little confusion.

BATTLES i:i- STREETS Between Rioting Strikers and ' tie Police Manv Persona Wonaded. Some of Them Fatally, In Battle Between Rioters and Police in Berlin Streets Coty Looks Like An Armed Camp. ' (By Cable to The Times.) Berlin, Sept. 27 In a scrips of bloody battles In the streets today be tween rioting strikers and armed po lice more than 160 persons were wounded, 55 of them probably fa tally. ; -; - ' Churchos were stormed, windows smashed, residences entered and loot ed, street lamps torn down and the police and fire stations attacked. Fearing fresh outbreaks later In the day the government ordered troops blvouaced in the streets, which gave the city the appearance of an armed camp. The strikers had been muttering warlike threat for some days, but the rioting developed suddenly this morning. A fourious mob of shout ing men and screaming women armed with clubs and stones and firearms charged through the streets from their secret headquarters. When they reached the church 'of the reror matlon the rioters attacked the edi fice. With angry shouts they threw stones, crashing through the stained glass memorial windows, smashing the portraits of Christ and the Virgin Mary to fragments. Battering down the doors the riot ers entered. . Men and women struggled towards the altar, tearing up the pews and battering down the silver fronts Every article of value was .demolished.'- ' - In. the meantime the police reached the scene.- They charged into .the church, slashing with their swords and firing" volleys from their revol; vers over the heads of the mob. The rioters turned their attention from looting to the police and a pitched battle ensued. The", rioters piled up their barricade of pews and fought stubbornly from behind this protection. Lieutenant Heck, who had charge of the police, was struck on the head nd It is feared that his skull was fractured. He will probably die. Twenty policemen were, wounded, many of them seriously. Practically every ambulance in the city was sumoned to the scene and street vehicles were pressed into ser vice. Wounded soldiers and rioters were carried away to hospitals side by side. ; After a prolonged strife the riot ers were driven from the church and took refuge In side streets and al leys. ' In the meantime another sectttn of tho mob was carrying its depredations Into the- resident district. Citizens fled from their homes in terror of their lives and the mauraudors enter- tho homes, carrying away every thing of value they could lay their bands on. Many of them became intoxicated from looted wine and liquor, and, in flamed with drtnk, their excitement gave way to frenzy. . Orders were given for soldiers to pa trol all the streets of the city.

On the last day of the convention, Sunday, there will be a notable meet ing for men, at one' of the public halls, in the afternoon, at which there will be addresses by very strong and notable speakers. It is customary at the Sunday morning services at vari ous churches for the pulpits to be occupied by able men attending the convention. The pastors of the var ious city churches ' will co-operate most heartily in the movement to make the convention a great success, nd of course the members of their congregations will enter into the mat ter with spirit. No convention of this kind has ever been held here, and Kaleigh certainly needs the inspira tion it will give. The convention will attract many persons from this part of the Btate' and from the large town east of hero In addition to dele gates from all other parts of the Btate and South Carolina.

TO SUPPRESS BEGGING, Associated Charities Making Every Effort to Get Rid of ISeggars.
