SILVER MEIN’S PLANS.
Chicago, Ill., July 7.—'The full silver
committee met at the Sherman house to-
day for a final conference before repair-
ing to the convention. Special work in
hand was the preparation of a program
for the proceedings today, which was
done as follows:
1. Resolution for the adoption of tem-
porary rules, moved by Senator White of
California.
2. Motion for appointment of commit-
tees and reference of resolutions; mover,
ex-iGov. Hogg of Texas.
3. Motion to adjourn and for recess, to
be made by Senator Jones of Arkansas.
4. Floor managers during temporary
organization, executive committee.
5. Daniel, on platform.
The committee members present
pledged their entire delegations to stand
by this program and to support no reso-
lutions offered by any one else except
there should be necessity for further ac-
tion than here indicated, in which case
the movers of motions will be designated
by the conference on the floor.

West End Citizens Object to the Aroma
That’s “Wafted O’er the Breeze.”
A petition from citizens of the west end
was presented to the county commission-
ers yesterday -asking for the removal of
the slaughter houses near Lake View,
the Catholic and Jewish cemeteries,
south of the Hurd line. The slaughter
houses are -a nuisance, the petitioners
say, and the stench is awful.
Bolivar land owners were in attend-
ance in a body to protest against an in-
crease in their assessments. Their argu-
ments were convincing, as the commis-
sioners decided to let the remainder of
the land in the Samuel Parr league in on
a $50 basis. The Van ‘Nostrand -tract, af-
ter H. O. Shaw -had stated the -facts set
forth by the owners, was reduced to $5
an acre -assessment. This was pleasant
to the Bolivarites and they were profuse
in their commendations to the commis-
sioners.
IMr. Reyder made some inquiry regard-
ing the right to lay water pipes along the
county .road. He said troughs would be
a -blessing to farmers coming to town
during drouths.
The court will meet again next Mon-
day.

SILVER AND THE MARKETS.
Henry Clews’ Letter.
During the past week the “bear” ele-
ment has found a fruitful source of sell-
ing in the exciting reports relating to the
prospective Chicago- convention. Between
the wild excitement of the silver delegates,
the plots of Altg-eld for controlling, the
convention, and the unwise and feeble tac-
tiefs of certain of the -eaistern sound money
leaders, it has been found easy to break
prices by vigorous short selling; and the
fall in prices for 'the week has, therefore,
been considerabl’e. The sales, however,
have been almost entirely by professional
operators. Private investors have shown
no disposition to part with their securi-
ties, and London, in spite of the weak-
ness here has evidenced a recovery of
confidence by taking 109,000 shares of
■stock, besides a good amount of bonds.
The “bears” have found, it possible to
shake out a considerable amount of stock
carried on margins; and that success has
been the main cause of their persistence.
These operations have produced a fever-
ish feeling, and have naturally fostered
the prevailing distrust. This unsettle-
ment iis likely to continue through the
Chicago convention and may quite pos-
sibly be aggravated by its exciting die-
velopments? After that the ease of silver,
goes, before the people for four months of
earnest discussion previous to the popu-
lar verdict at the elections; pending which
there will be less material for the crea-
tion of 'Speculative sensations.
If the real nature and consequences of
this free 'coinage craze are fully under-
stood, there can be n-O' danger of the coun-
try being committed to it. 'The St. Louis
convention affords a reasonably certain
assurance that the danger (will be escaped.
But with such a popular fanaticism as
now infects the west and the south, it is
no time to take anything for granted. The
true course, in the presence of the dom-
ing campaign, is to calculate upon -the
worst, and to- work with might and main •
for the best. No man can perform his
duty without using Ills whole influence in
•the work of public enlightenment.
BAGIG'INIG RiATEIS RESTORED.
Several days ago the Southwestern
traffic association, or rather the board of
administration thereof, reduced the in-
terstate rate on bagging and ties from
St. Louis to Texas common points from
"45 to 41 cents per hundred pounds. This
morning, in response to a. howl from
Texas jobbing points, the rate was put
back to the original basis-. The board of
administration seemed to have a string
to its reduction order, and when it raised
a storm quietly drew it in and revoked
the order.
On account of the state encampment
of the Uniform Rank Knights of Py thias,
which will begin July -20 and close July
25 in this city, numerous letters of in-
quiry have already reached the chairman
of public comfort. The bureau will not
be opened before the 18th. Therefore any
parties, bc-sides hotels, having rooms for
rent and accammod-ati-o-ns for- board, or
both, will pleasq.- inform the chairman,
George Garnier, No. 917 Market street,
mentioning what accommodations they
can furnish, number of people they can
accommodate and .state prices expected
for same. George Garnier,

Gladness Comes
\K7ith a better understanding1 of the
» » transient nature of the many phys-
ical ills which vanish before proper ef-
forts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts—
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis-
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt-
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
ficial effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep-
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
■ and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
Used and gives most general satisfaction.

The -second step toward the operation
of its main line by electricity -was made a
week ago .by the 'New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad company in the
extension of the electrical equipment of
the Nantaskut beach line as far as East
Weymouth, three and one-half miles
along the main line of the South Shore
branch of the Plymouth division, of
which J. C. ISanborn is superintendent.
In determining upon this extension the
over head trolley system in use on the
(Nian-tasket beach branch was abandoned,
-and the third rail method of contact
adopted as the most readily adaptable to
ordinary railroad requirements. This is
the first time in the history of railroads
that the main line of a -surface steam
railroad has been operated by electricity
taken from a conductor laid upon the
ground, ais the INantasket beach inaugu-
rated just 1'2 months ago was the first
steam road in the world to which elec-
tricity was solely employed as the motive
power.
The car went spinning along, and when
the end of the trolley was reached the
shoe -slid upon the third rail without the
least jar. The motor man let the car run
along a few rods -from its own accelera-
tion and then turned on the “juice.”
Away bounded the car, and in a moment,
had reached a speed of 70 miles an hour.
While the third rail system for elec-
tric roads is not new, it being in use on
the West Side and Lake -street elevated
railways in Chicago, the rail being set
outside the track, this is the first in-
stance of a third rail being laid upon the
permanent way -of a trunk steam road,
between the rails of the -service, track. It
is the result of the combined efforts of
President ‘Charles P. Clark of the New
York, New iHiaven and 'Hartford rail-
road, C. Peter Clark of the (New England
railroad and Col. IN. :H. 'Heft, chief of
the electrical department ofo the New
Haven system, and all the preliminary
work was carried out at the (Schenectady
works of the General electric company.
'The curreaf for the third rail section is
brought from the power house on the
Nantasiket line, over two -insulated feed-
ers of copper cable laid -along the tops of
the poles which carry the over head Wires
of the Nantask-et line. At the Nantasiket
junction station -the feeders are dropped
to the ground, and each is connected to
its own third rail.
The third rail is of peculiar shape—the
end view rese-mbling a flattened A. It is
laid midway .between the. two -service
rails of each track. Each section of third
rail is 30 feet long, and weighs. 93 pounds
to the yard. It is supported by three ash
block’s, to -each section, the blocks being
let into the ties. (Before use. these blocks
are boiled in vacuum pans with a tar
compound, -and thus each ipore is filled
with insulating -and preservative mate-
rial. The insulation is abnost. perfect.
The continuity of the third ri.il cirm:it*is
secured by attaching each end of one
rail to that of the next by means of two
heavy copper bonds. The line between
Nantasket junction and 'East Weymouth
is .absolutely distinct electrically from
that between the first named station...and
Pemberton. It is fed by its own feeders,
and is provided with its own automatic
safety appliances, which in case of care-
lessness or accident to the third rail sec-
tion -enter into action and '-cut all elec-
tricity off from it, rendering it nothing
more than a peculiarly laid stretch of
track.
The electricity is taken from the third
rail by two sliding shoes hung loosely
from the car, one suspended between the
axles of each truck immediately under
the king pih by two links which allow it to
slide evenly over the top of the third rail
and make .perfect contact with it all the
time. The current is brought to the motors
through the controllers and circuit
breakers, and returns to the track rails
by the 'wheels.
The continuity of the rbturn circuit is
secured by -usii’g a short jhidk bond of
copper c;rb-le to join IdgbihL- the ends of
each pair of track rails, the ends of the
bond being fastened into tli<‘ flange of tne
rail. The distance between each of the
two shoes on the car is 33 fjet. No third
rail is 1'aid at the crossing, the circuit
continuing between the broken end 'by
means of lead covered cables. At the
crossings less than CO feed wide, one of
rhe -shoes is always in confect, at wider
ones the impetus of tin- moving car
brings the shoes into contict again be-
fore the car can come to rest.
The baggage cars in use last year, each
equipped with four motors, have been
abandoned, and the large 46 bench open
cars are alone employed as motor cars or
locomotives. ®ixte.en of these cars will
be put into service, each \-quipped with
two G. E. 2'009 motors, two s-mies parallel
controllers, ’ two automa tic circuit break-
ers—the safe guards from accident to the
rest of the electrical apparatus—and an
air pump and motor for the compressed
a.ir for the whistle and brakes. The air
pump combination is automatic in its
action. A-s soon as the pressure in the
main air tank falls below; 90 pounds to
the square inch, a small kpife switch is
closed'by a spring, and tha motor starts.
The switch is forced open 'b#:tihe air press-
ure as soon as that in the? tank reaches
the normal.
The cars leave Pemberton and run with
the trollies as far as Nantasket junction.
The trolley is then pulled flown and
hooked, and the shoe strikes" the third
rail, the passengers being- unaware of
the change in the method of contact. The
regular schedule of the electric- trains be-
tween Pemberton and East 'Weymouth
has been in force since Jupp 14, but ow-
ing to -the incompletion of the third rail
section the trains -have been hauled from
iNantasket junction to East.'Weymouth,
three and one-half miles, by two steam
locomotives. A good, idea >f the advan-
tage of electricity as a motive po-wer
compared with steam may be gathered
from the fact that the two locomotives
burn each four tons of coal per day,
while not more than four tons, per day
burned in the power house serves to gen-
erate sufficient power to operate the
■whole seven miles of the line between
Pemberton and iNantasket junction by
electrici ty.

■Convention Hall, Chicago, Ill., July 7,
1'2.15 p. m.—The convention is slowly as-
sembling. The weather is clear and fine.
The immense crowd makes admission
slow.
It is said the gold men’s program is to
vote solidly for Patterson or Bland and
keep silent on the platform.
There are now 13 candidates in the
field, six of whom will be formally pre-
sented.
Hall has just entered and there is great
cheering.
Convention called to order at 12.50.
Horrify report® Hill for temporary
chairman. Great cheering all over the
hall.
Clayton of Alabama, rise? to move Dan-
iel’s name be substituted for Hill. Im-
mense demonstration.
Roll of states demanded on Clayton’s
motion to- substitute Daniels for Hill.
Clayton’s motion now being discuisised
pro and con, each mention of Hill and
Daniels elicits cheers.
New Jersey advocating choice of Hill.
Waller suggests Hill for temporary
chairman and Daniels for permanent
chairman.
Waller says he can 'stand any candidate
the convention may nominate; the gold
men are here to stay, but appeal for cour-
tesy and 'fair treatment, and the uphold-
ing of Democratic precedents.
Waller says -if Hill 'is turned down, the
easterh Democrats “will fight you here
and elsewhere.” Cheering and hissing.
Thomas says the convention should
carry out the wishes of -the large majority
-of the convetion, and elect Daniels.
' After wrangling for a long time, in
which the - convention was in a constant
uproar, as 'delegates spoke alternately
for Hill and for Daniels, among other
Daniels (adherents being Duncan of Tex-
as, the roll of -states was ordered at 2.49,
on the motion to substitute the name of
Daniels for Hill.
In the discussion it became manifest
chat the chief desire of the gold men for
making Hill temporary chairman, was
■that he might make a speech in 'accept-
ance, and this the silver men were de-
termined ito prevent. Ladd of Illinois, op-
posing Hill, said if Hill made a speech, it
would keep the party explaining tili the
election.
Among the speakers for Hill was Fel-
lows of New York, whose references to
Cleveland were cheered.
The motion to substitute Daniels for
Hill carried. The call of states thereon
was completed at 3.15 p. m.
The result in favor of substituting
Daniels for Hill stood: Hill 552, against
343.
When Virginia was reached Daniels
voted no. Hill refrained from voting
when New York wa-s reached.
The official vote in favor of the motion
is 556, against 34^not voting 1.
