RAILWAY OFFICIALS ffOKKIKU.
The Kuoming Clubs, and the lied, White
and Blue Umbrella Brigades '
Other iiotea.
Mixneai'oijs, June 8.- When the
gavel fell this morning, and delegates
were seated for business, a glance over
the convention was convincing proof
that everybody felt like adjourning im
mediately, that they might take a rest
before proceeding to business. , The vis
itors to the twin cities numbers close on
to 100,000, and the railway people were
pushed to the verge of their resources to
handle them. . .
Decidedly the great feature of the con
vention is the booming clubs. They are
making dreadful efforts to distinguish
themselves in the manner that Collis P.
Huntington told Col ton was calculated
to offend the public eye. - The trouble
with them is that there is a lack, of pic
turesque inventive genius" among them,
they are all applying red paint in the
same way. The Iowa republican club,
400 strong; headed by the Iowa state
band,- wear long hats, and carry red
white and blue umbrellas. They in
dulge in street' parades and interfere
with the electric car eyBtem. Chairman
Clarkson is at the head of the club, and
where he goes the club, escort him.
Three special trains are needed to carry
the club, its band and umbrellas, and as
there is no place large enough here ' the
crowd will occupy the Sol Smith Russell
House in St. Paul.
Five hundred free silver men are here
from Colorado, and they parade in white
coats and carry red, white and blue um
brellas. These free silver boomers are
all against Harrison, and they make
things very lopd in their vicinity. The
Chicago Senators also carry red, white
and blue umbrellas, march to the music
of a band and parade in the interest of
Blaine.' '. I
The New York delegates ' usod nine
cars to carry them. The train question I
gives the Chicago and St. Paul lines a
good deal of bother. The delegations
that travel in bodies began to arrive Fri
day, and the whole crowd landed here
in three days. At an average of forty j
people to the car, which is a fair count,
it took 1 ,230 cars to land the passengers
on Saturday,- , , , ' . " ; ,
Minneapolis is doing some' fine figur
ing on receipts that may or may not be
accurate. The convention is expected
to spend here at least $1,000,000 a day
for five days. That would be an average
of $10 per day on each of 100,000 people,
and up this way that is a very high esti'
mate for living,' but, the men from the
west and northwest' are : expected to
spend twice as much as the.ir economical
eastern brethren. Where no special
contracts have been made, and even in
many such1 cases, rooms without meals
cost from 4 to $8 per night. In the
hotel halls cots' with meals are rated at
$4 per day, and a fair' kind of a parlor
suit can't be got for less than $40 per
day. " - - - . ". . ' " "
ji-Before this $ rush cams.. Minneapolis
gotnerv'bus over the, subject of accom
modations i.nd the housed question, but
the ladies made that ail right bv taking
all the empty, stores and; available halls
and establishing lunch rooms." ' Nelson,
uf. yy& iiuiiuenujin- ui ajcue iaus in. a
jocular way," said that noone should
starve ,for he would build a regular lum
berman's, qookhousef of logs, and ieed the
wliole crowd on beaigj He 'wanted to
show how iheylived in Jlinnesota.amps,
and'be soon' JmcLan enormous log- Jiouse
erected close to the Exposition building.
It nearly drove Minneapolis" ineane when
St. Paul published a picture of the
place and solemnly declared that the ac-
commodafions in Minneapolis were so
poor. that the delegates would be com
pelled to live on lumbermen's beans
They are nervous on the subject of tele
graphing now, and that is why reporters
do not Bend full particulars. Correspond
ents calculate on 1,000,000 words a day.
This would be an average of 2,500 words
to each correspondent, which is not a
particularly high estimate if it becomes
! known that the stuff can be handled,
j The Western Union has put up five new
: lines to Chicago, and estimates that it
will be able to handle 600,000 words a
day if the weather is fair and the wires
work all right. Work today is devoted
to just such stuff as can be raked up.
There U nothing doing in the conven
tion, and it is not probable that a ballot
will be taken before Friday morning.
a. . ' Wreck on 'The Southern. ' ,
Portland, June 7. The south-bound
through Southern Pacific freight train,
which left here yesterday morning, was
wrecked at o'clock last night at a point
17 mles north of Grant's pass. The
cause of the wreck is unknowd here by
the officials, but is believed fo have been
a broken car axle. A. W, Dohlberg, a
bridge foreman sustained a broken leg,
but no one else was injured. The engine
was not disabled, though the entire
train of 28 cars were thrown off the rails,
but nearly all remained on the ties.
The wreck happened on a heavy down
grade, and terminated very fortunately.
The north bound overland was delayed,
and instead of reaching here this morn
ing will not arrive till late tonight. The
track has been cleared, and all trains
are moving.
The freight cars are but l
slightly injured.

Oil City. June 7. The Philadelphia
committee, which arrived here today,
sent a telegram to Mayor Stewart, chair
man of the committee in Philadelphia,
saying 43 bodies were recovered, and a
low estimate of the losses is $1,000,000.
Seven hundred people were burned out.

Oregon City, Or., June 7. The strike

FELL FIFTY FEET. .
Jay Way, aged 14, while working on
the roof of the Crown paper mill, fell a
distance of 50 feet to the ground. It
was thought that he was killed, but
after an hour he recovered consciousness
and tonight was about town with onlv
his head tied up.
At Tituavllle.
Titusvillk, June 7. The relief com
mittee is busily engaged supplying the
needy. Food is becoming scarce, owing
to the fact trains are as yet unable to
reach town. It is estimated $100,000
will enable Titusville to get on its feet
again. . There are unconfirmed rumors
to the effect that fourteen bodies have
been found below here. There is no
question, but a large number floated
down thp river and lodged somewhere
in the timber, which piled high along
the banks. : .
