almost the unanimous vote of the dele-

Frank Andrews for chairman of the

necessary vote in the primary of July
9 and selected the delegates to the
various conventions. The mention of
the names of Holt for congress and
Oliver for district attorney evoked
prolonged applause Ironclad instruc-

El Paso. July 16.—(Special.)—The
Democratic county convention met here
today and was marked by spirited de-
bates and personal violence. The fight
centered around Pat Dwyer, candidate
and finally the nominee for the legis-
lature. whom some of the party are
fighting because he runs a saloon.
Judge Leigh Clark was elected chair-
man by Dwyer’s opponents and the
Dwyer crowd elected City Recorder
Eylar, who attempted to take the chair.
Judge Clark resisted and hit Eylar
with a cuspidor. Eylar choked the
judge, and both rolled on the floor.
The excitement was intense and mat-
ters looked squally, but the trouble
was finally adjusted. Clark remained
chairman. Dwyer won the nomination.
Later C. W. Fassett and County Treas-
urer Henry Kelley had a personal en-
counter in the convention.

A Hero Mt the Hudson River TraaeL
Success.
The Hudson river tunnel was re-
cently opened with much ceremony and
rejoicing, and fitly so, for there is
probably in the world no more signal
triumph of mechanical skill over ap-
parently unconquerable obstacles. But
the present generation has quite for-
gottea a very- different struggle and
victory which once took place in this
same tunnel.
In the summer of 1880 a leak oc-
curred in the main shaft. Twenty-
eight workmen in an Instant found
themselves facing certain, horrible
death. The river was bursting in op
them. They saw no escape. But the
head of the gang, Peter Woodland, a
Dane, who was in a smaller chamber,
saw that if the glass bull’s eye in its
door were broken, the water would be
turned into it and most of the men
would hnve time to escape. His own
death would be certain and instant
He hesitated He was a young and
well-educated man, and he had a wife
and children.
One of the survivors said afterward:
"I saw his face as he looked at us
through the glass. It was ghostly pale.
He gave the order. ‘Break the bulls-
eye!’ We did it. The majority of the
men were saved. Woodland and four
others were drowned."
We have been chanting for ages
paeans to great heroes in .the worid‘8
might battles—to men who, fired D¥
the thunders of cannon and the roll of
martial music and swept forward by
an army of comrades, have given their
lives for some great cause which was
dear to them. This poor Dane Eave
