Experience
[By Associated Press.]
Bainbrldge, Ohio, Sept., 17.—People
living in Paint Creek valley are great-
ly alarmed over the appearance of
smoke and sulphurous gases from
Copperas mountain, which can be seen
from this place. Ever since the first
eruption of Mont Pelee, smoke has is-
sued from the mountain at intervals,
but only within the past few days have
the smoke and gas become especially
noticeable and many attribute it' to
the recent eruptions in Martinique.
Slate in the mountain has become hot
and some of it has become a dull red
from the action of heat. Scientists
will make a thorough investigation.

Boston, Mass., Sept., 17.—Congress-j
man Henry F. Naphen, the permanent
chairman, in addressing the Demo-j
cratic state convention today said:
"The recent visit of the president to |
New England was signalized by a
declaration of convictions more wel- j
come in some particulars to our party
than to his own. Hfs frank recogni-
tion of evils of monopoly was an avow-
al of Democratic doctrine and reflec-
ted the persuasion of a majority of
the people. Those who followed him
as he discussed the question with en-
gaging, if limited, candor belonged to
no class nor party. By yielding to
the pressure of public opinion he
broke with the forces which control
the great Republican machine. Al-
ready we hear expressions of dissent
from influential quarters n which the
policies of the Republican party are
shaped and fixed."
The faction in Massachusetts Dem-
ocracy supporting the Kansas City
platform and the element opposed to
Bryan and many of his doctrines
were admitted to be at odds this
morning over the construction of the
platform for presentation to the con-
vention. So intense was the feeling
manifested in the committee that at
one time appeared as if a bitter
struggle for mastery would be fought
out upon the floor of the convention.
B]or nearly ten hours yesterday the
committee on resolutions debated the
question with the result that the Kan-
sas Cty platform adherents, headed by
Geo. Fred Williams, were defeated
14 to 7.
The convention was called to order
today just after 11 o'clock a. m. and
it looked then as if a long wrangle was
in prospect. These differences, to-
gether with the candidacy of Chas. S.
Hamlin for governor, gave the pro-
ceedings a ninterest greater than any
that has been taken in a similar as-
sembly of Democrats since the days
of free silver campaign.

Hamilton, O., Sept. 17.—A brutal as
saul upon two little girls, aged 5 and
6, daughters of Chas. H. Motzen, has
caused intense excitement. According
to the story of one of the girls, a
Stranger enticed them with candy in-
to an alley and dragged them to a lot,
overgrown with high weeds. He
struck one on the head with a blunt
weapon, and cut the head of the other.
When the outrage became known, sev-
eral hundred citizens began a search.
Bloodhounds led them to a house oc-
cupied by Jos. Roth, a gardener. He
was arrested, but vigorously denied
any guilt. One of the children is not
expected to live.

Birmingham, Tla., Sept. 17.—When
the Republican state conventio nre-
a-semblcd today It was evident there
would be a flght on the part of the
platform endorsing Roosevelt for re-
nomination. Thi" opposition Is under-
stood to have had its origin In the
recent action of the president in re-
moving Wm. Vaughan, the retiring
Republican state chairman from the
office of district attorney for northern
Alabama. The platform and resolu-
tions, as reported by the committee,
were read and when that part of It
endorsing Roosevelt for nomination
in 1904 was reached, there ware loud
cries of "No, no."
The platform reaffirms the Philadel-
phia platform and favors child law
legislation relating to work in cotton
mills. It endorses the wisdom of the
Dingley tariff law and urges a contin-
uance of that policy.. The plastform
then expresses confidence in the ad-
ministration of Roosevelt and favors
his renominatlon.
After the reading of the platform J.
A. W. Smith of Birmingham, offered a
substitute which omitted all reference
to an endorsement of President Roose-
velt for renominatlon. he substitute
was vigorously debated and the con-
vention was thrown into a turmoil.
Some of the speakers upheld the sub-
stitute, declaring it was too early to
speak out on the campaign of 1904,
while others charged that an effort
was being made to knife a Republican
president. The substitute was defeat-
ed, 158 to 146.
