The deadly cannon firecracker did most of this execution. Out of 152 injuries by firearme, in 0? cities, the toy pistol earned 105.

Kanmas Ciry, July 5. Bitter fight was waged against the insertion of the 10-to 1 plank in the platform, tiie debate be fere tho resolutions committee lasting until 4 o'clock this morning, when n vote on the question resulted in a victory for the Bryanites, the vote being 2G to 24 in favor of a specific declaration. Early this morning David B. Hill de clared the fight was not yet ended, it being the intention to force the ipsue on the floor of the convention. He said further that ho was "opposed to im perialism in an individual as much as in a nation." General Warner, of Ohio, voiced tho same sentiment. At 10 o'clock Van Wyck, New York's representative on the platform com mittee, refused to sign n minority report on the money plank, thus precipitating :i break in the conservative ranks. Other states' delegations then began to weaken, and just before the convention was called to order it was announced that no minority report would be sub-, mitted. The convention was called to order at 11 :02, Rev. Glennau delivering tiie open ing praver. When it was learned that the com mittee on resolutions would not be able to report until 3:30, the convention ad journed until that hour, after hearing short speeches from Hogg, l Texas, Dockery of Missouri, Beckham of Ken tucky, and others. The platform committee completed their work and adjourned sine die at 1:30. Although the document contains I u specific declaration for free coinage at a ratio of 10 to 1, anti-imperialism is declaied to tie the leading ieeue of the day and campaign. Imperialism, militarism, Cuba, the Philippines and Porto Itico occupy fully one-half of the platform. Imperialism is declared to strike "at the existence of the republic." Anti-trust plank demands that nil articles manufactured by trusts shall be placed on the tarifr free list. Adlui Stevenson is much surprised at prominence given his name in connec tion with Eecond place on tho ticket. He had no inkling of any such intention, and is much gratified. His boom today is strong, many delegates confidently asserting that lie will be nominated. Charles A. Tonne issued a signed statement this morning saying that support is coming to him from all points, and that he is more confident than ever of getting second pluce on tho ticket. His candidacy has apparently made little headway, although his friends contend that the 10-to-l declaration alone will nominate him. Both nominations may bo made yet tomi'lit. unit liri'im will llin im In i Kansas City to make a speech of ac ceptance. An Ocean itt Itiirnlni; Oil. Nuw Youk, July 5. Tho fire at tho works of the Standard Oil Company, at Constable Hook, Bayounc, N. J., which stinted early today, is still raging at 9 a. m., and no estimiito can yet lie mudo of tho damage, though it will run into tho millions. The entire plant is almost certain to be consumed. The oil from the works Is sproadiiiir along tho upper bay, and the Kill von Kull is blazing as it Hows, and serious damage is tlueiit- ened to adjoining property. The fire was started about 1 o'clock this morning by a bolt of lightening, which fell during. n thunder and ruin storm. It struck Miuaiely in tho lm- menso yard of tho Standaid Oil Company, which covers 000 acres o( ground. King ... n , , '"itho digestive organs, making a coin was struck by tho bolt, and ut the fame ' ,)..,,..,. ... ,. time it exploded two immsnbt. rcorvolr tankH of crude oil. Ouu hundred mon were at work in tho yards, and whether muro were killed or not is not yet known. Tho explosion was heard for miles, nnd the heavens wuro lit up for hours afterwards by tho flames, which leaped u hundred feet in tho air, Even ut 8 o'clock this morning the column of stroke which rose from tho still burning tanks spread out in euch n cloud that to those coming from the West the bright morning sun was obscured. BILLY BRYAN IS NOMINATED The Unanimous City Choice of the Kansas Convention. v. Kansas Citv. July 5. William J Bryan, of Nebraska, was tonight unani mously placed in nominnuon as the democratic candidate fpf President of the United States, on a'platforrn oppos iriL' lmnerialism. militarism and trusts. and specifically declaring for the free J coinage of silver at tho ratio of 16 to 1 J The nomination came as the culmihrf-1 tion of a freczied demonstration in honor of the party leade; lasting 27 minutes, and giving utterance to all the pent-up emotions of thovaet multitude It followed also a fierce struggle throughout the last 3u hours concerning the platform declaration on silver and on the relative position which the silver question is to maintain to the other great issuef of the day. There only remains the choice of a candidate for Vice-President, and the work of the convention is over. There is every evidence that this choice will be quickly made tomorrow morning, although there is still doubt as to whom the nominee will bet Prevented a Tragedy. Timely information given Mrs. George Long, of New Strattsville, Ohio, pre vented a dreadful tragedy and saved two lives. A frightful cough had long kept her awake every night. She had tried many remedies and doctors but steadily grew worse until urged to try Dr. King's New Discovery. Ono bottle wholly cured her, and she writes this marvelous medicine also cured Mr. Long of a severe attack of Pneumonia. Such cures are positive proof of the matchless merit of this grand remedy for curing all throat, chest bud lung troubles. Only 50c and .f 1.00. Every bottle guaranteed.

Mrs. William Mitchell, a white woman, who was the wife of a colored man, and their eon, were shot dead by unknown parties on their little ranch near this city late last night. The tragedy was thought at first to have been tho result of a feud which lias long existed between the Mitchells and their neighbors, but it is said there are circumstances which will nut bear out this theory.
