As Mr. Taft approached, Bryan ad- | vanced toward him and extended his hand. Mr. Taft grasped it. The two men bowed and smiled and said something pleasant to each other, which no one could hear for the ap- plause. All eyes were cn the two. As their hands met it seemed as if the dining hall would burst with the volume of the cheering and hand clap- ping. For nearly five minutes it continued. After Mr. Taft arrived and he and | Mr. Bryan had greeted each other, | Mr. Taft took his place at the right | of the toastmaster. Mr. Bryan was seated on the left. It took music by the orchestra and a song by the guests to restore a semblance of quiet. When talking in ordinary tones became possible the two candidates entered into an ani- mated conversation, in which Presi- dent Hall joined. The speeches of both Mr. Taft and Mr. Bryan were non-partisan. Besides Mr. Taft and Mr. Bryan, the speakers of the evening, were A. C. Bartlett and David R. Forgan. Mr. Bartlett was the first speaker and Mr. Forgan was sandwiched between Mr. Bryan and Mr. Taft. THIRTEEN KILLED ‘Large Elevator Explodes—Concussion Shakes Entire Village. Richford, Vt.—With a concussion which shook the entire village, a large grain elevator, having a capacity of 500,000 busheis, exploded, causing the death of 13 persons, 11 of whom were employes.

The flames, which are supposed to have been started by spontaneous combustion in the dry dust of the grain, spread so quickly that the limited fire apparatus of the vil- lage was of no avail The heat set fire to a flour shed near the elevator, and the shed, to- gether with 75 freight cars standing near it, were burned. The wreckage and fire blocked the tracks of the Canadian Pacific com- pletely for many hours, so it was necessary for trains to make a detour by way of Sherbrooke, Que.
