found dead this evening by members
of the family after being absent from
delegates and the nominations were
made with great enthusiasm until the

this office was Philip P. Fariey of
Brooklyn, an anti-Mecarren man. The
nomination of Farley was agreed to
without any regard to the Kings county
delegation and was intended to em-
barrass them. Fariey won on a roll
call, but a motion to make the nomina-

three scattering negatives.

Port Worth, Sept. 19.—A citizen of
Fort Worth, working nights for a
modest wage, may soon come into pos-
seslon of Aa princely fortune. The
proceeds of an ante-bellum estate, now
being held in escheat by the state of
Tennessee may come to L. C. Stewart,
a mailing clerk in the einploy of a Fort
Worth newspaper.
The story reads like a Ouida ro-
mance. Way back in the year 1840, over
sixty-elght years ago, Isham H. Baird,
of Perry county, lenn., departed this
life, leaving an estate of 10,000 acres
and a retinue of 760 slaves. Baird
was a widower without children, his
only relatives being two alsters who
had migrated some yars before to the
then unknown wilds of . the west. All
trace of those two Sisters, and their
descendant* was lost to tho Tennes-
see authorities, and under the escheat
laws of the state, the property was
converted into cash and turned into
the etale treasury.
Tim© passed and the sisters of Baird
also wont tho way of all flesh, leaving
families. One of these sisters had set-
tled in Arkansas near. Little Rock and
another cam to Tarrant cjunty, Mr.
Stewart is the descendant if this lat-

foreign secretary for Germany, that the
note would be studied in an amicable
spirit. If this is done, the foreign office

Utica, the home town of Represen-
tative James S. Sherman, republican
nominee for vice president, vied with
the other places in the greeting to the
democratic candidate. Bands were at
the etation when his train pulled in and
tho rowd demanded a speech. Mr.
Bryan said he recognized that there
lived in Utica one of the candidates of
the opposition and yet he supposed
there would be a few democrats there
in spite of .that fact, "just as I am
afraid there will be a few republicans
in Lincoln, in spite of the fact that I
live there, for while the ex-chairman
had his circle of friends, still elections
go more on the principles involved than
upon the personal charms or charac-
teristics of the candidates.”
The progres of- the train through
Washington street in Syracuse, a dis-
tance of about a mile, was a memorable
one. Bryan and Kern pictures were

weapon with which he sought to con?

of the democratic cause. He never
lost an opportunity to flay both Presi-

Perhaps the most important utter-
ance was at Kingston where he ad-

ticket by threats of a panic.'

Traded for Ranch Land.
Fort Worth, Sept. 16.—J. L. Breath-
wit, who was one of the promoters of
the present Arlington Heights Realty
company, and who owned a quarter
interest in that company, today traded
his interest in that company for a
tract of land comprising four leagues,
or 17,712 acres situated in Bailey coun-
ty. The price pad by Mr. Breathwit
for this land was 310 an acre, so the
deal totals about 3177,000. The sell-
ers were Dr. A. L. Taylor of Hereford
and Dr. L. F. Taylor of Farwell. The
deal was made through C. Coffee &
Co. It is the intention of Mr. Beath-
wit to cut the land up into small tracts
and settle It with farmers.
Another four-league-trade is now
pending for Garza county, at the same
figure paid by Mr. Breathwit for the

that this trade will be closed Monday.

Rochester, N. Y., Sept. 16.—Tho cul-

state convention which closed today
there a ndtabro.demonritratton here to-
nig lit ine honor of the party’s national
standard bearer, waJ. Bryan, who
reached the city before.: To’clock and
who addressed a mass meeting in-con-
vention hall and an overflow gathering
ptside.
Presiding over the convention was
Judge Alton B. Parker, the presidential
candidate of four years ago who took
advantage of the opportunity td take
a persona’ pledge of his ardest fealty
to the national ticket. ‘As Mr. Bryan
nd Jude Parker stood/sid by side
beore the great assembige which
clicked the hall, the capering welled
up in a deafening roar. Mr. Bryan
acknowledged Judge Parker's pledge
of his own support and the support
of the "United democracy of tne Em-
pire siste," in. words as gracious 8
the pledge had bean extenilel. Mr.
Bryan expressed his gratification for
the nomination today of Louis Stuy-
vesant Chanler as head of tho state
ticket and paid a personal tribute to
him.
Mr. Chanler had joined the Nebras-
kaA at, Syracuse this afternoon and
was with him at dinner tonight at.the
Genessee Valley- club.-

JUoge Parker • were ■ tho* state leaders.

Charles F. Murphy and National
Chairman Mack, who assisted in giv-
ing tho' cnyentl hail' gathering its
peculiar 6ignlficance. Scattered
through the hall and among the over-
flow crowds outside were hundreds of
delegatee tp the* convention.
Tho greting extended to Mr. Bryan
When he first entered the hall and the
applause and cheering which constant-
ly interrupted His speech,- was as spon-
taneously enthisiastic as any which
ho had -met anywhere in hia already
wide travels durng the campaign.
Nearly all of /Rocheste r seemed to
hhave given itself over to the reception
of Mr. Bryan. Thhe down town streets
were thronged all evening long and the
progress of the-candidate from place
to place was made difficult by the
crowds which-presed about him.
"It is worth coming a long way.”
said Mr. Bryan, "to participate in the
closing hours of a great convention in
this country's greatest state.
"I appreciate Judge Parker’s cordial
words in presenting me to you. I ap-
preciate the pledge he has given and
especially do I appreciate his bwn
earnest part in the fulfillment of tne
pledge.
"I am gratified at this great conven-
tion which this day placed at the head
of its ticket one so worthy to carry
the party’s stantard in this state.
"Mr. Chanler represents a class that
X believe wih be a growing class in this
country. Ho 1s A man of means whose
money has not weaned him from sym
pathy with the common people. He
prefers a life of energy to a life of
idleness. I believe we are entering on
a new era in American politics and in
the years to com I believe that more
men than in the past of Mr. Chanter’s
typo will consecrate their lives to the
good of their fellow men. I appreciate
the reciprocal of' harmony that pre-
vailed in this convention. All metals,
my friends, fus at some heat and so
there seems a degree of enthusiasmr)
.which welds all together in a common
cause. Everywhere throughout this
broad country of ours the democrats
fire getting- together -to get control of
this government.”
Mr. Bryan’sgreference to the con-
vention and t"Mr Chanler called out
almost continual cheers. The Nebras-
kan then plunged into his set speech,
in the midst of which Mr. Bryan was
interrupted by Former Assemblyman
John Palace of Rochester who stated
that if he could consent to suspend for
five minutes, the democrats of Monroe
county would show him a more sub-
stantial support than mere applaus
.and cheers. Ushers rushed about the
hall with blanks which were appllca-
tions for membership in the Bryan and
Kern club, collecting a pledge to vote
and work for the success of the na-
tional ticket. There were also spaces
to mark the last ticket voted by the
signer. When the slips had been all
collected, Mr. Palace remarked that
more than 3000 .. applications and
pledges had been made.
"I think that .this is the largest club
that I ever knew organized in so short
ft time," remarked Mr. Bryan, "and if
you can work as long as you can fast,
there will be an Immense amount of
work done.”
