keep up tho war, even u they find thoni
solves In u hopeless nilnorily. There lias
Hot been a break In tho "ilvor strength,
nnd tho loaders) of that movement aro
llxod us tidniimnt In the determination to
run tho' convontlon. At the sumo timo
there seems to be a sympathetic feollngfor
Senntor Hill, nnd several of tho silver
leaders visited him In tho afternoon and
requested hlin not to allow his name to Ihj
used for temporary chairman. Senator
Jones, of Xevudn, was particularly anxious
about tho matter. Ho nid :
"Senator Hill, wo havo no personal ob
jection to you, but our forces will not bo
content with anything but a silver man in
tho chair. "Wo don't want to have to turn
you down, and wo hope you will not ac
cept tho designation."
Many other silver men who are friends
of Senator Hill have cnlleil upon him and
urged him not to allow his namo to l;o
used by the national committee and not
BEXATOIl DANIEL,
to place himself In a position whore ho
might lie humiliated by lx-imr defeated.
They have assured him that they havo a
high regard for him. nnd that it will bo
disngroonblo to them to have to vote
against him, but tho situation Is such that
thoy must have a silver man to make tho
llrst speoch of the convention.
But ox-Governr Kusscll, Willinm C.
Whitney and other loaders were strung in
their judgment that there should lie a
light on this issue and that Mr. Hill
should stand. So far convinced were tho
easterner!) of this that it was said in tho
oarly evening that Hill would stand, and
that he had begun preparing an address
that would lio delivered from tho lloor if
not from tho platform. This last state
ment developed an Interesting phase that
may mean u lively row In tho convention.
"The gold men shall not speak," was tho
cry of the rank nnd fllo of tho silver men
with tho exception of Jones, Ulaeklmrn
nnd McLean. Theso hitter said that the
convention should bo fair In its treatment,
nnd fairness, so far as tho gold standard
men aro concerned, should mean that Rus
sell, Fellows, Hill and Gray should be ill
lowed to talk.
Senator Hill has ndvtod all those who
have called upon him to pursue a conserv
ative course Ho has oxprc-sed tho belief
that If tho convention adopts a silver plat
form thnt there will surely bo u bolt, and
he thinks that if conservatism is shown
that tho bolt will bo much reduced. It Is
understood that Sonatorlllll believes that
In case the convention should sustain tho
national committee In tho selection of him
self for tomporary chairman that tho bolt
from New York state and possibly some
other sections of tho east will lio groatly

While Senator Hill Is constantly advis

Alleged Sound of I.lfc from the Kutniulicd
Twin Mian Miner.
WltKESiiAitr.K, l'a., July (t A ripple of
oxcltement varied tho work of the rescuers
at tho Twin shaft yesterday by another
rumor that rnpplngs had been hoard com
ing from the place where tho entombed
men nro supposed to be. William Owen,
foreman of the shift that came out of tho
mine at 1 o'clock in the morning, declared
that tho ratis wero first heard at 10:40
o'clock Saturday night. Several of tho
men had managodto crawl over tho debris
about 110 feet from tho face of tho fall.
Hero they found nn open space blocked by
n, maa of rock and coal, over which It was
lmposiiblo to force a way. While they
wero oxamlnlng the fall five distinct raps
on tho rail were heard, two with a llttlo
Interval between them and three in rapid
succession. Foreman Owen declared that
thero could bo no mistake about It this
timo, and he has no doubt that some of
tho men are alive.
Superintendent Law said ho hojied
Owoushadnot lieen deceived, but none of
tho olllclnls place any reliance upon tho
story. They claim that tho noKo ho heard
was simply the cracking of timbers. If
Owens Is right, however, tho fact adds
only horror to the situation, for thero is no
hopo of reaching the placo where tho men
arc within ten days at least.

JOHH MITCHELL FIRED THE SHOT
Ho Breaks Down With Grief and the Victim
Exonerates Him How the Shooting Oc
cured An Operation shows Shock
ing Injury by tho Bullet.
William Lasawickas, a Lithuanian, who
keeps a Baloon at tho comer of Centro and
Chestnut streets, Is lying at the point of
death at his homo there, being a ictim of
accidental shooting at tho hands of John
Mitchell, also a Lithuanian. At a late hour
this aftcinuon Lasawickas appeared to tie
sinking fast.
It appears that at about ono o'clock Satur
day morning a fight started In the saloon and
Mitchell, who is Lusawicka's bartender, ran
out to give an alarm. To ell'ectivcly do this
and attract tho attention of the police he
stood in tho middle of the street and dis
charged a lovolver into tlio air three times.
Tho fourth cartridgo refusid to explode.
Mitchell went lack to tho saloon witli
the intention of reloading the revolver. lie
first tiled to learn why the fourth cartridge
did not explode and in doing this pulled the
trigger several times. Suddenly thero was a
report and Lasawickas, who stood In front of
Mitchell, sank to tho tloor shot in the groin.
Dr. W. N. Stein was called and ho pro
nounced tho wound a probably fatal one.
Mitchell was taken into custody by Chief of
1'olico Tosh and placed in tho lookup. Mit
chell paced to and fro in his cell for hours,
weeping bitterly and expressing regret
that he had not killed himself instead
of shooting Lasawickas, whom lio
considered his best friend. Mitchell was
taken before tho victim Saturday morning,
at about eleven o'clock. Chief Tosh, Coun
cilman I). It. .Tamos and a IIkis.u.u reporter
wero present. Lasawickas, who can speak
good Ihiglish, said to Chief Tosh, "Let that
mango. I don't want to see him locked up
for an hour. It was an accident and I know
lie wouldn't hurt mo for any amount of
money. Wo havo always been good frionds."
Mitchell sat at the bed side weeping as ono
heartbroken. Lasawickas then told tho
story of the shooting as already given and as
toll by M t-hell. Chief Tosh took tho
prisoner beforu Justiio Williams, who fixed
bail in tho sum of $1,000 and upon the
security being furnished Mitchell was re
leased with tho understanding that he sur
render himself if Lasawickas should die.
Yesterday afternoon Dr. .1. C. lliddle was
summoned from tho Minors' hospital and
with Drs. W. N. Stein and O. F. Matter ho
performed an operation on lasawickas. It
was then found that tho wound was more
severe than first thought. The abdomen was
opened and it was seen that the bullet after
leaving the groin had passed in such a direc
tion that it perforated the Intestines in ten
different places and finally lodged against thu
second lumber vertebra. The spinal cord
was not affected and there was no paralysis.
Tho bullet was removed and Dr. Kiddle care
fully sewed each of the ten holes in tho
intestinos. A button which had been carried
into tho body by the bullet was found in
fragments in the abdominal eavity.
After the operation Dr. Biddlo said every
thing that could bo done for the man had
been accomplished and ho would givo no
hope for recovery. Tho Intestines were so
badly torn recovery seemod impossible.
Ijnsawickas Is of the Intelligent class of
Lithuanians and quito popular. He is about
33 years of ago and has a wife and two
children.
