REED AND ALLISON DELEGATES I
McKlnloy Men Make a Demonstration In
Which Several Delegates Are Slightly
Injured, and Then Held a Separate
Convention and Elect Delegates.
Austin, Tox.. March 27. Tho Republi
can convention which has boon in session
in this city slnco Tuesday adjourned sine
dlo yesterday nfternoon, after having nar
rowly avoided fatality, and having a split.
Tho situation lookod threatening from
tho very start in tho morning. Tho Mc
Klnloy men had worked all night among
tho nogroes, and succeeded in bringing
over qulto a number of thorn, so that when
tho hour for convening arrived it found
the MoKlnloy mon with an organized
forco occupying tho contor of tho hall,
with a vory determined look. Cuuey, tho
colored chairman, mounted tho rostrum
at 10 o'clock, nud immediately sont out
for his forces. In tho moanwhilo nothing
was done, tho statomont bolng inado that
tho comtnittco on credentials was not
ready to report.
About 1 o clock, tho commltteo on cre
dentials putting In an nppoaranco, tho
convention was called to order. Tho first
work of tho convention was tho receiving
and adoption of tho credentials commit
too report. Its introduction immediately
precipitated a row. (Junoy organized tno
convention with tho Heed-Allison men in
oxoluslvo charge Tho convention ndopted
a platform along tho regular linos, tho
currency plnnk of which roads as follows:
Wo reaffirm the historic adlierenco ot
tho Republican party to sound finance.
Wo demand an honest dollar or greatest
purchasing power for ovory class allko;
tho largest Issuo ot gold, silver ana papor
compatlblo with the security and tho re
quirements of trade, allot equal valuo, In
terchangeable, one for the other, ovory dol
lar resting on gold as money of final ro
domptlon." Tho convention then olcctod tho follow
ing dologatos to tho St. Louis convention:
N. W. Cunoy of Galveston, Allison man;
W. R. Makomson of Georgetown, Rood
man; E. II. Terrell of San Antonio, Alli
son man j 0. H. Ferguson of Richmond,
Rood man. Electors, Goorgo C. Clifford
of San Antonio and Eugeno Marshall of
Dallas.
Hardly had tho voto on tho olcctlon of
electors boon announced than the long an
ticipated row was In force. As thu chair
declared tho mon oloctcd a burly negro
came plowing through tho jam, pushing
men in front of him as if thoy wero so
much chaff, and in his wako camo half a
hundred followers, greatly excited. Thoy
gavo every ovldenco that thoy lntondcd to
capture tho spedkor's platform. Tho spec
tators and tho crowd on tho stand made
frantic efforts to got out of their way, but
all to no purposo. Thoy clambered upon
tho stand in an instant, and thoro thoy
wore confronted by Cunoy and his follow
ers. Tho flrst negro to roach tho stand made
a lunge at Cunoy's head with his fist. As
ho struck ho found himself confronted by
a big revolver In tho hands of another no
gro. In an instant tho platform was a
sceno of wild chaos. Excitod nogroos
swayed to and fro for twenty minutes be
foro an nrmod foreo of policemen could
quell the riot. It was tlion discovered that
no ono was dangorously hurt, although
one or two of tho white delegates, as well
as a negro or two, wore bruisod consider
ably. As soon as order could bo obtained
tho convention, after disposing of a few
minor matters, adjourned sine dlo without
issuing any instructions to tho St. Louis
delegates.
Immediately after tho regular conven
tion adjourned tho MoKlnloy faction took
chargo of tho hall and, organizing their
convention In duo form, elocted tho fol
lowing delogatos to St. Louis: John Grant
of Shonnau, Frank Hamilton of Austin,
S. L. Smith of Colorado and W. E. Davis
of Fort Worth. Tho olectors named nro
E. V. Hunt and A. H. Caldwell.
This convention did not consider a plat
form, but adopted resolutions indorsing
McKlnloy for president, and instructed
tho delegation sent from hero to voto for
him as long as his nauio was before tho

ANNIE M ORATH'S DUPLICITY.
While Accepting Favors from Lnngdon
Slio Wilt KuKngcil to Another.
Philadelphia, March 27. Thoro Is still
a grent deal of mystery surrounding tho
deatli of Annlo McGrath, who was found
dead in n houso on Glrard nvonuo last
Monday ovcnlng.liavlng been dead twenty
four hours. The fact has been clearly es
tablished tiiat tho lips and mouth of tiio
prisoner, Langdou, had been burned by
some powerful drug, as was tho lips and
mouth of tho dead girl. It is known, too,
that Miss McGrath had been engaged to
marry Fred Fitzslmmons, a West Chester
jewelor, but that tho engagement had been
broken off. Miss McGrath becatuo ac
quainted with Fltzslmmons at Atlantic
City, whero she wa? boarding nt n oottago
with Langdon, passing as his niece. Whllo
accepting gifts nud money from hor
wealthy admirer sho was roally in love
with and engaged to Fltzslmmons. Aftor
going to the, Glrard avcnuoliouso as Lang
don's reputed wifo, it is alleged, sho of
fectod a rocouclllntlon with Fltzslmmons,
nud thoy decided to wed Juno 21 next.
Tho theory lias now been advanced that
Miss McGrath went to tho Glrard avenuo
houso tho last timo with tho intention that
that should bo hor final assignation with
Langdou. Sho, according to tho thoory,
told Langdon of hor approaching mar
rlago. It is given out by tho pollco that if
murdor was committed Langdon becamo
dosporato at tho thought of losing Ills
young luamorita and made un his mind
that botli should dlo sooner thnu ho should
livo to seo hor becomotho wifo of another
man. With this idea, It is stated, ho prob
ably poisoned tho girl and then tried to
cml ills own llfo.
On tho othor baud, somo of thoso who
have studied tho caso carefully are of tho
opinion that as tho result of a jealous
quarrel Miss McGrath attempted to poison
Langdon whllo ho slept nud afterward ad
ministered to herself tho chloroform or
whatever drug was used.
Samuel 1'. Langdon, of I'hlladolphin, who
is being held on a chargo of poisoning pretty
Annie McGrath, was born and reared in
Minersville. Ills father, in partnership with
Marcus Heilner, operated a colliery on tho
suburbs of Minersvillo in tho bixties. Ei.

DASH BY CARS IN A II.
Caused by the Coupling: of a Trip Parted
on a Slant.
NARROW ESCAPE OF A DRIYER.
Two of the Cars Crash Into Four Mulos
That Were Ascending the Slant With
a Trip of CarsAll tho Animals
Were Killed.
A disastrous accident occurred into yester
day afternoon in thol'rimrose colliery, which
is located about a mile from Mnhnuoy City,
but fortunately tin human life was sacrificed.
It is remarkable that such was tho caMj.
In a part of tho miuo there is a gangway
that recoives loaded cars from a slant, which
is about 400 feet in length. Empty cars are
hauled up tho slant, four at a time, by four
mules. Tlio loaded cjirs aro allowed to run
down unattended, but aro not whilo tho
empty cars aro being hauled up. Tho en's
aro run out from tho breasts to tho head of
tho slant. If a trip is ascending tlio loaded
cars aro held by sprags until tho empty trip
passed tlio top.
Yesterday afternoon William Cook, a
driver, started from tho bottom with four
mules and four empty cars. At about tlio
same timo four loaded cars wero run to tho
top of tlio slant. The top man spragged
the last two cars, hut tlio others went
over tho tip. The coupling between tho sec
ond and third car snapped and the first two
went down tho slant like a shot. Cook, tlio
driver, heard tho rumbling of tho wheels
and sprang for an opening at the side of the
chamber. Ho was none too quick, for al
most at the fame moment the cars crashed
into tlio four mules. Two of tlio animals
were killed outright, one died a few minutes
after and tho fourth was put to death by tho
men in tho mines to end its misery.
Tho cars played havoc with tlio rails and
sills of tlio slant, as well as the timber work
about tho piaco. It took several hours to get
tho wrecked cars and carcasses of tlio mules
out of the piaco and put tlio slant In working
condition again.
