Tho state capital tonight feels tho llrst throb of the Democratic state convention, which will open 'Wednesdny. Judge P. P.

Kvcn Colonel Guffey is said to bo favor able to him, believing he would add dignity to the convention and give out the Impression that complete harmony exists in the party. Colonel Guffey gave out an interview tonight which Is chiefly notable for what ho doe? not say. All the candidates are men of the highest Integrity nnd standing, tho office Is nn exalted one; therefore Col onel Guffey believes ho ought to keep his hands off. Each candidate can in terpret this to suit himself. Tonight tho shrewd political guessers are at a loss to pick the winner In the contest for tho Supremo court nomination. It Is conceded that 'William 11. Creasy, of Columbia, will be nominated for state treasurer, and tho men from tho west ern part of the state who are booming the candidacy of Judge Kennedy, of Allegheny, and George A. Allen, of Erie, tonight give Smith fifty votes on tho first ballot. , At Smith's Headquarters. Colonel F. J.

They will be on the right hand side of the con vention hall, flvo rows from the front. Judge Smith will be nominated by Colonel F. J. Fltzslmmons nnd tho nomination will bo seconded by Judge F. W.

The leaders had many conferences at the headquarters of tho state commit tee In the Bolton house today and prac tically agreed upon tho matter that It Is thought desirable to incorporate In the resolutions. They will deal mainly with tho stato Issues and will touch but lightly on Bryan and the silver Question.

It was greeted with jeerH and some mis siles were thrown at It. The next two cars dashed from the barns ncross the railroad crossing without a stop. The city ordinance makes It compul sory for the conductor of the street car to leave the car nt the railroad crossing, and there signal the motor- man to proceed.

Thousands of people and Innumerable wagons blocked the thoroughfare and Impeded Its progress. The trolley rope was cut several times, and every few moments some one would release the lever that controlled the fender and It would drop to the ground. The crowd would be beaten back for the time being, but before the ear had proceeded fifteen feet Its pro gress would be again Impeded by the surging crowd. A number of rioters were arrested and many In the mob were Injured slightly in conflicts with the pollce.who used their clubs freely. Women took a prominent part In the rioting at the Nickel Plate crossing, hurling volleys of stones at the ears. At noon cars were running nt Irregular Intervals. The arbitration commissioners met at 10 o'clock. A committee from the strik ers was present and waited an hour in vain for the company's representatives to appear.

He said: "Fltzslmmons Is not In need of money; he was not In need of money before the light with Jeffries, which netted him n handsome sum, and ho does not care for a benellt.

Sharkey Is In good condition and very little work Is required to put him on edge for a bruising contest. Tho sailor has practically been In training for a month, and people cnpable of judging say he Is In magnificent condition, FOOT RACE A FAILURE. Lack of Patronage Causes a Collapse of the Enterprise.
