Contention Voted It Uotm and Stood 1'nnin the IJquni Que., tlon Tliejr Feared Hryan's Speech and Attempted to (ia/ Him Hut Failed. The Democratic State Convention of 'Nebraska met at Grand Island on Tuesday. Amid a tumult of cheers < from the former followers of W. Jen- 1 twigs Dry a ii, permanent Chairman Smyth of the Democratic platform 1 committer, read the result of a test volO of the gathering, which practi- ' rally took from Mr. Kryan the Democratic leadership of Nebraska, which he has austuined for fourteen ' A ; . r y . The vote came on a motion made by Congressman 0. M. Hitch cook, a candidate for the Senatorial nouiinu- ' Hon, Whlcli in effect was to elinn?i?te the introduction of platform (danUs with a ceo in pa ni o? speeches^ unless submitted as a section ot the majority or minority report of the committee on resolutions. Mr. tlryan, sealed as a member ot the l.aur.H&ter County delegation. was ou his feet immediately with a protest., and nffererl uh ameoUineut that e would modify that intent of the or- s igfnal motion The Bryan adherents denounced the ffitchrook motion as "Bag rule,' and their opponents lie- ' Clared that "individual rule" uiuhi not prevail. Chairman Smyth ordered a roll call on the amendment. When two-thirds had been called opponents of Mr. Bryan reali/.ed ;1 thai he was defeated and'a wave of cheers that drowned the roll call began. As Chairman Smyth read (ho result, 4:! ti against Mr. Itryau's amendment to :t04 in favor of it, the delegales sounded a fresh volume o.' cheers that seemed to indicate their relief from the uncertainty tliat Jiad '' eristed as to the strength which Mr. 1 Bryan might develop in the Convention. ;i The original motion of Mr. Hitchcock was then adopted. ^ The action of the Convention prac- ,v tlcally prohibits any speech from Mr. 1 ltrynn unless, as a member of (he . resolutions committee, he Hbouid !' speak on one of Uu> planks offered " 4?y the commit ten- U? the Convention. l" Tho plank in dispute was. 1 "Wa heartily approve of the dtty- ' light salons law and we commend the cournKt'uui actio* of Governor * (Hiancuber^cr iu approving it." Vbe plank was adopted by a vote of 710 to 1671. It whs then announced that two '' . (V minority reports would In' submitted, 0110 Itv W.J. Itryuti and the other h|r H. It. 1*1 eh arty. 1 That of Mr. 9tryan rend: ^ "We favor county option as tin' best method of dealing wiUi the Jiquov question." That of Mr. ft eh arty was: "We favor local option as now |* provided for by taw, tint are opposed to county option." * The majority plank on the liquor question, fnvored by five of the se\en members then was read as lotloon: * "We are opposed to making county option or any other plan for the regulation of the liquor tmllir a question of party creed. We stand for ami insist upon strict endorse- j menl of our present laws ami hebey p that any further changes in Our liquor legislation should he decided by a direct ?ute of the people, And that the cause- of good govern- cr incut and public morals sill be l?et- ,n ter Served in that way than by Ji- |* viding the people into hostile fac- 111 ttous on purely moral Issues." Speeches were made by the apoo?-?cs of the planks, and the Coaveu- '? tion then settled down to the linul :l tattle. M iMr. Itryan. spesking from the {'* pialforio in ttehalf of the minority *'u plank presented by him, was greeted hy shoots of applause and was listened to in silence, lie said hi AA*I? * "If T h?ve advocated that which is "not good for the State, lot oie feet.

Young Hill nlsims that he told him that he ;>osessed a secret process by which ?ie sd'uld make money multiply by nublectins It to a certain electrical p,-~:ess.

The dei-d are: Sergeant Olivet, one of the best known non-commissioned officers In the coast artillery corps; a ?> year old son ot Sergf. Helke. It Is believed that Sergt. Oliver, who Is an old man. lest his life while trying to save that of the child. A wotrtan member of the pa?".y was caught by the tide and carried down the creek for several hundred yards, set taming for help until she lost consciousness. Fishermen further down the stream heard iter and put out In tKJUts. She was caught as she was sweeping by them, hurried to the bank and after a long time was revived. Other occupants of the launch. It Is believed now, escaped after a bat tie with the tide. The accident occurred whent the Tybee rwlron 1 i crosses the creek on a low bridge. The top of the launch struck the bridge, the craft careened and was swept under water in a moment. A passenger train crowded with pleasure seekers ?u the way to Tybee 'reach reached the bridge soou ul' < the accident. Passengers cared tor the survivors. , t Reports of t.he accident at Fort Screven sent a detail of soldiers to the creek in an effort to recover he bodies. Ii is feared the sea vv 'i j be very difficult as it is profitable the tide carried them out into the month of the Savannah and possibly to sea. The survivors, dripping and suffering from fright, were taken aboard the train and hurried to the fort. The launch probably is unhurt and can be raised. ItKPOItTS PltOM COINTIMS.
