Louise Roberts, the young girl who had caused the enthusiasm in the California delegation, was next borne high on the shoulders of a stal wart delegate from Indiana. She created a new furor of enthusiasm as she tossed her flag to and fro. Lit tle Naomi Defoe, of Alpena, Mich., followed for a brief period and when abe had waved her flag but a few minutes, Chairman Cannon pushed to the front and saying ‘Please let me In, my dear,” rapped vigorously for or der, The applause at this time had continued almost twenty-three min utes. It required fully five minutes and several more raps by the chair man and the strenuous work of num erous police and sergeants at arms to get the delegates once more into their seats. When Chairman Cannon had finally secured order the secretary read a his tory of the flag which Mr. Cannon had been waving. BBVERIDOB SWEATS. Cheers followed and were increased when Mr. Cannon recognised Senator Beveridge, of Incftitik, Mr. Beveridge’s voice was probably the easiest beard of any of the speakers. Shouts, cheers and catcalls resounded through the ball when the Senator sarcastically ■aid: “No mystery was ever elected President and never will be.” Long before he had concluded bis speech bis collar was a welted band and the perspiration was streaming down his face but bis voice lost none of its carrying power, and bis manner none of its energy. Senator Bever- idge’s concluding words, “Indianasec onds the name of Roosevelt, ” released the waiting cheer, the band and the flags. It was short lived, however, and or der was soon restored. When the convention had expressed its appreciation of Indiana’s second to the nomination, Chairman Cannon an- nounoed that George A. Knight, of California, would second the nomina tion. The California delegation showed that it was prepared for the c occasion. The old stage coach long drawn yell “ Waboo” waa echoed through the hall add a California banner, followed by a huge wreath of flowers, was borne through the hall as Mr. Knight was proceeding to the platform. ' Mr. Knight waa introduced by Chairman Cannon. He had a voice which penetrated the furthest recers es of the ball and rolled back in echoes from the arched iron roof. THE SOUTH BARELY PIPES. Mr. Knight was surrounded by an enthusiastic throng as he left the plat form, Senator Scott, of West Virginia, throwing hia arms around and hug ging him enthusiastically. Chairman Cannon announced the next speaker as “Mr. Stillwell, of Georgia.” There were loud cries of “Edwards,” and Mr. Cannon was Informed that the name DM speaker was Harry Stillwell “from the next star In the tanner of the republic.

Mr. Cannon then announced: “The clerk will call the roll for presentations for candidates for Vice President. “Alabama,” called the clerk. Mr. Hundley, of Alabama, as before on the Presidential roll oail, announc ed that his State desired to waive Its right in favor of the State of lows. This meant Senator Dolliver, who was to deliver the first nominating speech in favor of Senator Fairbanks. The first mention of Senator Fair* banka’ name was the signal for cheers which were renewed when he formally presented the name of Ute Indiana Senator. When the applause sudslded Mr Cannon recognized Senator Depew, whose appearance on the platform with Chairman Cannon grasping his hanc was the Inspiration for an outburat 01 applause.

Mr. Edyrards’ speech was emi nently saUsfattory, however, to those within ranm of his voioe and he was frequently interrupted by applause. “Tbe chair recognizes ex- Gov.

Bradley is the oqual of the first three sreaken in the frying power of his voioe. He in stantly riveted attention, and held it throughout His appeal for aid for the “disfranchised Republicans of the South" and his announcement that they looked to President Roosevelt as the man who had refused to close the door of hope in their faces, raised the hearen once more to enthusiasm. Cheers geeeted Chairman Cannon’s announcement: “The chair recognizes Joseph B.

EVERY VOTEFOH ROOQEVELT. Mr. Cannon then advanced to the The above advertisement, taken from the columns of The State, ex >lains Itself; it being very evident Jiat the birds are wanted for a shooi ng match, and it is against such a cruel and u.selets sport, if it can be called by such a name, that the writer, he has done several times before this wishes to enter an emphatic pro test. It Is hard to conceive bow any one with the least spark of humanity In hia heart can inflict so much suffer ing on these beautiful and helpless birds. Everything that partakes of cruelty is In itself brutalizing, and no man can Indulge in acts of thla kind and not become lower and more bru tal in his nature. The man who baa no compunctions n regard to shedding, without cause, tbe blood of the lower creatures, will not hesitate, under some supposed provocation and provided he could do so with impunity, to stain his hands with tbe blood of hia fellowman;-for it is very certain that no noble or generous Impulse would restrain him from the com mission of this crime. ” Exhibitions of this kind ought to be against the law, but it is perfectly possible to put a stop to them by the force of public opinion. Tbe cultured and Christian people of Spartanburg owe it to themselves to make a pro test against sport, or rather cruelty, of this kind and unless they take some measures toexpress their disapproba tion they cannot reasonably complain if some of the odium attached to this brutality is put upon them. This Is not, by any means, the writer's first protest against this so called sport, and it won’t be tbe last, for he proposes to keep up the tight against it until it is no longer in dulged in, at least in South Carolina. The.Indian, in his savage state, did not hesitate to wear the scalp of his fallen enemy on his belt, but he never tortured bird or beast; this particular form of cruelty having originated with the cultured Anglo-Saxon.

The dome of the State capltol Is safe. This Is the report of the government expert sent here to make an Investiga tlon. Not only la tbe dome safe, but from his report It appears that the girders are'not celled upon to bear any unreasonable load. The issue was settled Friday by tbe report of Mr Kort Berle, chief structural engineer in tbe office Of the supervising arohi tect of the treasury department. This expert investigation was mad< necessary by tbe report of Mr. 0. G. Wilson, tbe well-known engineer and architect of Columbia.^ Mr. Wilson bad been engaged by tbe committee to repair the building, and he reported that tbe dome of the capltol is unsafe and therefore it would not be advisa ble to construct the heavy steel ceil ing for the main lobby As so much surprise was created by thla report, which was accompanied by calculations, Gov. Heyward decld ed to get tbe best talent available to Investigate Mr. Wilson’s‘charges. Upon applying to the secretary of the treasury, who has charge of all the examtnihg expert. The report which he admitted Fri day is entirely in opposition to the statements of Mr, Wllsegu Mr. Berle, in addition to htsofficlSl position, is a member of the American Society of Civil Engineere. Heyward for warded the report together with all correspondence In the matter to Col. J. Q. Marshall, chairman of the com mittee to make repairs. Following is the text of the “report on the safety of the construction of the dome, State House, Oolumb a, South Carolina.” MR HERLK'S REPORT. Washington, D. C., June 20, 1904 To IBs Excellency the Governor of South Carolina. Sir: In response to your request contained in letter of the 14th instant, that I make an examination of the dome of the State House to determine definitely whether construction of same is within safe limits, and there by verify or disprove certain alarming Statements set forth In report dated June 3, 1904, by Mr. Charles C. Wil son, architect, to Chairman Marshall of the commission for tbe completion of the State house, I have the boner to submit the following report,' to gether with complete calculations of tbe principal plate girders, etc., forming tbe support of the dome. As verbally requested by you, I shall endeavor In this report not only to prove my statements bv technical cal culations, but also to interpret, as f^r as possible, certain technical expres sions in a popular way, that the true situation alight be More easily appre ciated by all concerned, and it is my earnest hope that tbe results of my Investigation shall leave no doubt whatever In anyone’s mind as to tbe safety of the structure. The conclusions to which I come in regard to Mr. Wilson’s report are that, aside from hia own uncertain standpoint, there, is absolutely no foundation for the statement that the frldefa are “serloualy overloaded.” 1 find on tbe contrary that, while some of these are loaded slightly beyond tbe ‘safe limit” generally observed by en gibeera for the steel structure for buildings, correct calculations bear out tbe fact that the girders are all* of ample strength KMters War Hero Drowned. News received at Waterton, N. Y., Wednesday dhows that altnost conclu sively that Corporal Joseph Burt, pri vate Peter Benson and Artificer John were of Company T., Ninth United States Infantry, were drowned on Sat- turday while sailing from garrison bar racks to the government rifle range at Stoney Point. Their small boat, flllectj nal with water and with rifles lashed in side, was found by bathers off Bull Rock Point, and the boat’s rudder was picked up by a yacht. The theory ad vanced by some that tbe men deserted and turned the waterlogged boat adrift ia geherelly regarded as absurd. All the men had excellent records. Burt was one of the heroes of Tientsin^ When Col. Regan was wounded there, Burt young men of the republic^ who aje (parried him from the field and receiv ed ar certificate of merit from the war department.

The clerk began calling the roll by Staler When Alabama responded with her entire vote for Roesevelt there was a cheer. As the Statee fol lowed In alphabetical order and nspooae ended with the words “Theodore Roosevelt” the cheer was ropetaed. • v > r Ah effort was mfde by New Jersey to taspenl further camng of tfts roll, but the convention protested loudly.

Tbe water -tame from two clouds that met be tween Lmderman and St. Albans, one of the finest farming sections in the country. Rain fell in solid sheets for an hour, the storm covering an area of six to eight miles square. Corn and cotton was wasted up by the roots, Reedy Fork creek threw a great del uge of water into Griffin’s mill pond and bottoms thereabouts and formed one great lake extending over miles and miles oY gftriring corn. An Idea of the extent of the rain fall may be gotten from the statement Of R. H. Jenkins, a fanner, who re ports that an empty tub stood in a nsarby field with dry bottom befon the storm while sftsrwarih t* was faO to UMtajta CBBt»Wny l$ ••tor- Wkimgmm at * u-iual safe limit” must hot be under stood to mean what persons untamttlar with engineering rules would natural- y infer from tbe expression, namely, that once beyond this “safe limit" the structure becomes unsafe. It simply means that the “factor of safety” has been more or less reduced, or, In other words, the large margin unsually given to the members has been encroached upon. The factor of safety used for steel M buildings is 4. This means that one fourth of tbe ultimate tensile strength of tbe material is counted on u proprotlonlng the different mem bers of the structure, or that these have to be loaded with four times the calculated load before they would col- apse. ' ' i ^ ' - ^The elastic limit” of the steel la be point above which the external forces will strain or distort tbe metal permanently, so that after tbe exter- forces cease to act the body does not return to its original dimensions Beiow this limit, when tbe distorting force ceases to act, the body does not return tqUs original shape, and the train, or distortion, and the stress, or external force, are then always pro portional. It is therefore observed in good practice as of great importance keep all working stresses well with- the elastic limit, which is required to l>e not leas than one-half of the ul timate strength of the steel. The ulti mate tensile strength of the steel here used, if in aocordiance with the re quirements of the specifications should be from 54.000 pounds to 6^000 pounds per square Inch. This being tbe sequirement for soft steel it is quite possible that tests have shewn Uods aad my own, substituting only tbs sixes of members which I, by ex* amlnation of the shop detail drawings as well as by actual measurement of tbe work In pMoe, found to be incor rectly assumed by Mr. Wlleon's cal culations. -But I consider this not only unecMaary but to no purpose, as It appears that nob only are the sit e used by Mr. Wilson wrong, but In his calculations he has ignored Important rules for the application of loads end stresses and it Is very difficult to ana lyse bis computations. I shall therefore, for the sake of comparison, only show wherein ,Mr. Wilson differs from actual facts ss to the sectional ana of the dlfierent girders. From what source he has obtained these sizes I cannot deter mine. Tbey correspond neither with original or revised designs nor witb the show drawings or with actual measurements of the work in place. In thU connection I beg to call atten tion to the fact, that I in every single instance found that actual work ii< place is strictly tn accordance with the shop detail drawings, but that these have not been prepared in ac cordance with the design furnished the architect by the American Bridge company. ' In the table attached I have thus shown three different sets of siz s for each of the main girders. It will be seen that the siz s assumed and used by Mr. Wils m in his calculations are materially smaller than the actual s'ze* taken from measurements of the work in place, which I have, of course, used in my calculations NOT SERIOUSLY OVERLOADED, Those tables alone are, aufficlent to disprove the correctness of Mr. Wil son’s calculations, and show that he, by nls own methods, would have ob tained verydlfferent results had he used the correct flange areas. My calculations furtbermo e dis prove, with no uncertainty, the state ment that the girders are seriously overloaded and show conclusively that in no case is the factor of safety less than 3.13, in some cases more than 4; and In every instance, therefore, are the stresses well within tbe elastic limit. As regards tbe stone bearing blocks under north end of girders No. 4 or Gl, these are the only parts of tbe supports of the dome which warrant criticism. And yet they are within safe limits under ordinary circum stances. The reaction at north end 0,000 poundfe- This ered as uniformly dls- us3 the base of the e that It nearly covers the clear span of tbe stone, if this be considered as a beam spanning tbe flues. Tbe stiffness of the girder base make it even quite permissible to assume that the load would act on tbe stone in sheer rather than bending.. But considering the worst case that under tbe circumstances could exist, that of a beam with total load applied as uniformly distributed, tbe calcula tions show that tbe sound stone has a factor of safety of over 2 1-2. The posslbity of danger on the side where the cracked lintel occurs must be said to have been entirely removtd by Inserting the inclined steel braces. I would recommend that similar braces be placed on the opposite gir- of girders should be cons tributed load.J grider Is so der as a safeguard against pcssible dis aster in case of unusual cyclonic storms. These bearing stones would have been substituted by heavy grillage, consisting of four 15 inch I beams 60 pounds spanning the flues, witb ample bearings on the adjoining masonry, which construction would have left the entire structure beyond criticism. NO SIGNS OK WEAKNESS. The fact remains, however, that in no place in this whole oomtructk n are there any signs of weakness, not one crack pf brickwork or other ma soury, no settlement or deflection of any kind, and' such would certainly “Being loaded slightly beyond tbe b>. ve appealed by this time, if weak- tbe ultimate strength to be nearer tbe maximum than tbe minimum fligure, as medium steal is more commonly used for this kind pf work, and the tensile strength of such Is from 06,- 000 to 68,000 pounds per square inch. In the absence, however, Of test rec ords I assume tbe average between tbe required maximum and minimum to be the nltimated tensile strength pf this material, namely , 58,000 pounds .square Inch. showing calculations. I have In large figures given the actual stress per squqre inch called upon by the various glrdem io resist, and also the factor of safety. ^ AS TO MIL WILSON'S gAIXTOMTOMNa. As stated .to yoo verbally, it ness existed, .especially to such degree as was feared. In conclusion I beg to state that tbe government need have no hesita tion in substituting tbe present ceiling of lobby and the covering of the inner dome by a permanent, fireproof and suitable construction, provided the weight of same shall not exceed 15 to 20 pounds per square foot. This can >e best obtained by light angle or “T” iron framing covered by metal lathing and bard plaster with tbe proper om : amental finish. ... If such changes be contemplated.! beg to recommend that the two short er brackets, supporting tbe inner dome on tbe ribs of the main dome, be first removed and replaced by simi lar but much longer brackets. It ap pears that one of those main ribs is bent, and I think this is due to the fact that the bracket does not extend far enough down on the steel rib. Tbe substitution of such new brackets can be accomplished without much dtfflcultyjKproper shoring being first erected. - ?

A small private office in a suite on the eleventh floor of the Chamber of Oommeroe bulling at the corner of Griswold and State streets Detroit, Mich., waa ] the scene of a most thrill ing tragedy Friday when Charles A. Swayse, an Insurance agent, fought with Mias Effle Alvord for several mlnutee ln an attempt to throw her out of' the window, then shot her twice and plunged himself from the window to the brick pavement of State street, being almost instantly killed. Miss Alvord was shot twice In tbe neck and badly beaten about tbe bead and face by Swayse, but her physician said Friday night that she is not dan gerously hurt. Every bone lu Swayse’s bodl below his Deck *as broken by Ms fall of 165 feet. Despite the ter rific fall, a'faint flicker of life remain ed when he was ^picked up, but it went out as his broken body was be ing carried into the lobby of the build ing. Back of the tragedy lies a tale of Intimacy between Miss Alvord and Swayse, who was .51 years old, married and the father of two young daugh ters. Both Miss Alvord and Swayse were for several years prior t j Novem ber, 1902, employed tbe house of correction here, Swayse as deputy superintendent and the woman as a matron. In a lettef found on Swayse’s body be charged that the woman be guiled him while they were at tbe House of bbrrectibh. Their inti macy resulted. Superintendent McDonald of tbe institution. says, in neglect of their work and both were disohaifeed. Swayse then entered the employ of the life insurance company in whose office tbe tragedy occurred. Miss Al vord had several pcsitlons and then entered the employ of a sewing ma chine company. Friday she drove up in an automo bile to the Chamber of Commerce building with J. D. Terry, also em ployed by the same sewing machine company. She went up to the insur ance office on the eleventh flpor where she and Swayse entered a small private office at the front of tbe building, Swayse locking the door after them. Angry words were heard, then a strug gle and screams. Next, several shots were fired and employes of the office broke In the door. The woman's- screams were heard on the street and her companion, Terry, had hurried up in tbe elevator and arrived in time to be tbe first man to rush Into the room. Miss Alvord lay on the fljor, her cloth ing tern, blood running from tbe bul let-wounds in her neck and her hair down and disheveled. The window was open and through it oould be seen Swayse’s face above the window ledge, to which he was climbing with his hand*. Toe fa?e was there only a moment. Then tbe bands flipped across the ledge and Swayse Was hUTltbg down througbTEe air to his death. It.wai not clear whether or Abt Swayse deliberately Held Up By a Lone Bandit. A lone bandit with a shotgun held up the outgoing stage to Murpby, □ear the summit, "» frw miles from Silver City, Idaho. Nine passengers were forced to alight and give up tb valuables. The robber then demand ed the mall sack, which be ransacked. The stage driver was then ordered to drive on. The robbe>-vrore a black mask and his shoes were covered with doth to prevent leaving tracks. A sheriff’s poeM is in pursuit. ^ ^ Democratic Gavel. per square inch. * - Mr.-D. B; Fairbanks; of Nashville, On the sheets herewith submitted, ^Sm., was sent Wednesday a piece of wo id from a South Carolina oak which will be used In the gavel held by the presiding officer at the St Louis Dem ocratic convection. Mr. Fairbanks some time ago requested the governor for a piece of South Qarottae wood, ■toting in hM letter that tin gavel climbed out on t he ledge to commit sui cide or bad crawled out and dropped HIS legs and body over !n\*n attempt to work bis way down the front of the building and escape into an offioe on tbe floor below. Miss Alberta Buros, who is employed in a building a block below the Cqam! ber of bommeree bui ding, saw the desperate struggle b. tween tbe couple from her offloe wiudow. Sways;, she says, made two attempts to thr >w tbe woman from the window. Oace he lifted ber feet knd succeeded in getting put of her body through the window when she broke away from him._ Th?n he grabbed her about th& aa’st and again tried ta throw her to.tbe street. Again she broke away. Then he at tacked the woman and pounded her about tbe bead, fioally drawing his re volver and shooting her. Swayse then crawled up >n the win dow, and, Miss Burns sajs, let his body down until his fret seemed to rest on something, possibly a narrow ledge a few feet be’ow the window. Here he hung for a few seconds then his head fell back, bisjiands lost tbeir grip aud he whirled through the air out of Mias Burn'strange of vis ion. \—* The Chamber of Commerce bunding is situated in the heart of the business portion of the city and hundreds of people on the street heard Miss Al- vord’s cries for help as she struggled with the InfurlAted man. They also saw Swayse’s body strike tbe pave ment. ' ~ There are still some elements of fojstory Jn tbe case. At Miss Alvord’s boarding house it is stated that she and J. B. Terry are married. This Miss Alvord denied to a physician wbo at tended her. Reprrters have n^t been permitted to question her at tbe hos pital. One of the letters found on Swayse was addressed to Mrs. A. E Zenri of Saginaw, Mich., warnning Her not to let her son marry Miss Alvord, whom Swayse bitterly excori ated in tbe letter, charging her witb wrecking his home. At Miss Alvord's boarding house It was stated that Swayse had been threatening her lor some time and that she went to bis office Friday to tell him that she was martled and to finally break with him. It is also stated that Swayse had. threatened to write to her sweetheart in the west, supposed to be George Zenri, and tell him of their intimacy, and that she went to his office Friday to defy him to .do it. A letter to Swayse’s wife was found, the contents of which has not yet been learned. A Fatal Fall. maunder A. G. Kellogg, U. S.

Mr/Giguil- liat said that from tbe speeches of the preceding speakers he had dis covered that Sumter county was an incubator, that it had hatched out many candidates. He hoped that the incubator would set him on his feet. Mr. Gignllliat read the recommen dations from his own county and the endorsements given him by his own people, who declared nlm to be an hbnest man. Mr. Gigoilliat urged that there should be at least one practical rail road man on the commission.
