The lightning struck Dimon the neck, raising a swelling half as large as a hen's egg, passed over the breast, leaving a black line as wide as a person's ringer, sprealing out as It passed over the abdomen, where it left a black and blue surface about four inches square, and continuing the narrower line down the leg, until the. electric liuid left the body.

HIPPOLYTE REPORTED SHOT

Hayti's Black Despot Said to Have Been Assassinated at Port-au-Prince. More Political Prisoners Mercilessly Butchered bj His Order in the Public Square of Jao mel Denial from Minister Price. New York, June 17. The steamer Alvo which arrived here from Haytian porta thi.i morning, brought news of continued outbreaks of a somewhat milder character at the Haytian capital, and of the wholesale slaughter of political prisoners in all parts of the island. The Alvo also brought news of the rumored shooting of President Hippolyte. This rumor waa being freely circulated inJaemel and outlying towns about Port-au-Prince when the Alvo left the former port on June 6, and had even crept into some of the newspapers. William Bishop, chief mate ot the Alvo, gave the information which follows to a reporter and showed a paper published in Kingston, Jamaica, containing news of the outbreaks at Port-au-Prince, and of the reported assassination of Hippolyte. The rumor could not be confirmed by the people on the Alvo before she left Jacmel, as she remained there only a few hours, and, owing to the excitement in the town; the passengers feared to go ashore, ironi what the passengers could learn on the return of the officers, however, the- rumor was discredited. Among the ports at which the Alvo touched before starting finally for this city was Jacmel, where the populace was in a high fever of excitement over what they termed an outrageous murder which occurred in that city the day before Hippolytas order. The Lews of the trouble at Port-au-Prince travels somewhat slowly into the interior towns in Hay ti, and frequently is unknown in the inland cities for weeks after their occurrence. Consequently the slaughter of 160 citizens of Port-au-Prince was not known at Jacmel until several days later, though(Jacmeland Port-au-Prince are only about fifty miles apart. When the news did finally come, though, the people of Jacmel became frantio with excitement and loudly denounced Hippolyte and his government. There is a small garrison at Jacmel and six of the leaders of the crowd, who were the loudest and bitterest in their denunciations of the rule wero arrested and thrown into prison. News of the event of the arrests was immediately carried to Hippolyte, and, as the sun was rising on the morning of JuneS, half a dozen soldiers rode over the hills about the city and came into the town on horseback reporting at the garrison. Many of the people of the city were about early, and seeing the approach of the visitors circulated the news that the prisoners at the garrison were about to be put to death. W itnin one hour every man and woman in the city was on the street, and hundreds surrounded the' jail. The six prisoners, handcufied together, were then led out of the prison, and were marched to the open aquare in the center of the city, and in the presence of their friends and relatives were mercilessly executed, each soldier firing at one man. As soon as it was decided that the soldiers had done their duty according to orders they mounted their horses and returned to Port-au-Prince to report the success of their mission. - After leav ing Jacmel the Alvo touched at Navassa island, between Port-Au-Prince and Jacmel. There it was learned that a steamer had touched the day before and had brought the news of the assassination of Hippolyte. This rnmor had it that the assassination was the result of a conspiracy formed immediately after the killing of Rigaud. the merchant of Port-au-Prince. At Navassa the Alvo met the United States man-of-war Kearsarge, and it was there understood that bad news had just been received from Port-au-Prince, and that she was about to start for that place. Minister Hannibal Price denied this evening that President Hippolyte had been shot. At the ofiice of the steamship company it was stated that there was no truth in the statement of Uippnlyte's death, that the company had authentic information that Hippolyte is alive and had not been shot at. - - ' Consul Corte Tells a Story for tho Marine. Rome, June 17. The Fanf ulla states that Signor Corte, late Italian consul at New Orleans, at the request, of Premier Kudini, has prepared a report on the New Orleans affair.

Fifty Jews sailed from Antwerp yesterday for the Congo Free State. This is the first batch of Jews to go to that region. The Radicals in the Italian Chamber of Deputies are starting an agitation for the abolition of the duty on corn. It is probable that the duties on wheat will be reduced. Mr. Parnell has invited E. Dwyer Gray to contest for the seat in Parliament made vacant by the death of T. O'Gorraan Mahon. Both sides admit that it will be a tight contest. Le Presse.'a Boulangist organ, Bays that a rumor is in circulation to the etlectthat the French sovernment has decided to request the ex-Empress Eugenie to shorten her stay in Paris.

The Democratic Itow In Ohio. Cincinnati. June 17. Governor. Campbell met and addressed his friends in the parlors of the Burnet House this evening. The attendance was large and the Governor was full of lire. He said that a coteiie of malcontents in Hamilton county would not and could not control the destinies of the Democratic party in the great State of Ohio. Hamilton county was a large county, but a junta of fifty men in it would not be permitted to thwart the purposes of the Democrats in the rest of the State of Ohio. The Democratic convention, ho said, would have six hundred delegates in it, and if Hamilton county sent eightytwo, or any other number of delegates in excess ot its olhcial quota, they would not be admitted. He said he woulbe nominated for Governor and elected. Suspended for Ilereay. Toronto, Oat, June 17. At a secret session of the Mf thodist conference held here to-day Rev.

JIverj Business House Destroyed and Fifteen Families Rendered Homeless. Long Branch, June 17. No lives were lost in the Seabright fire, but every business-house in the place was destroyed, not even a grocery store being left. One hundred and fifty families were rendered homeless. Men, women and children slept last night in barns, bathing-houses and fishing-houses. Five- hundred homeless persons were fed at tho Rutherford arms last night This morning seven hundred persons were fed. Lumber has been ordered from Long Branch for the purpose of erecting temporary buildings. It is impossible to estimate the loss or to give tho insurance. The fire swept over an area containing thirty bnildings. The people are still distracted with terror and cannot tell the amount of their losses. The summer cottagers are responding nobly to the appeals for aid. They have already subscribed about $5,000. All the wires are down and the afreets are filled with balfburned furniture and store goods. The relief committee has telegraphed to Governor Abbott and Quartermaster-general Donnelly, asking them to loan State tents for the temporary shelter of the sufierers. Eugene Kelly, a stableman, has been arrested on the charge of setting Allen's stable on lire. ; . - KILRAIN yoT KNOCKED OUT. Decision by Refer eo Dunn That Is Bothering the Sporting Fraternity. New York, June 17. Jere . Dunn, the referee of the glove contest between Slavin and Kilrainln Hoboken last night, to-day made known his official decision. He decided that Slavin had won the bout and was entitled to 75 per cent, of the $10,000 purse, but that all bets that Kilraln would be knocked out within ten rounds were off. New York sporting men look upon the decision as inconsistent. They claim that ten-round contests must be concluded unless one man is knocked out or injured so that he must stop, and that only an event of either character oan end a contest of a limited number of rounds. In this instance the mistake of the time-keeper in not sounding the gong before Kilrain was on hisfeetaftera knockdown in the ninth round caused the trouble. But,vtecbnically regarded, Kilrain being up and ready to fight when the gong was struck, was not knocked out, The decision has made a considerable stir among betting men, many of whom had wagered for and against Kilrain'a being knocked out. It was learned to-day that the purse was about $2,000 short, but that tho Granite association will doubtless make up the deficiency. Puailist Slavin was very happy to-day over his victory. He said he felt as good as when he entered the ring last night, barring a few scratches and a sprained shoulder. He declared that Kilrain was by no means a hard hitter. He is very game, said Slavin, and proved that be would never give in as long as he remained conscious. Slarfn and Jackson May Fight. San Francisco, June 17.

Not only is Brother Talmage informed of the movements of Satan, but he is on terms of familiarity, it seems, with the Creator of the world. 'You see," he said, -God knew as much when he made the world ns he knows now. He has not learned a single thing in six thousand years. He knew at the start that the human race would go wrong, and what woulu be the best means of its restoration and redemption. And the law which was thundered on Mount Sinai, from whose top I bad the two tables of stone in yonder wall transported, is tho perfect law." Certainly creed seems to be of little moment when we have one in our midst who is so conversant with the aftairs of the heretofore and the hereafter. The Danger of Wearing lied Stockings. Et. James Gazette It has been remarked in France that the wearing by children of red stockings coincided with postular eruptions on their legs and feet. M. Scbutzenberger, a chemical expert, says that all the many specimens submitted to him derive their red color from matters derived from aniline, and containing a large proportion of nntimoniac oxyde. As children perspire freely, this matter enters into eolation, and is thus taken into the pores. The Professor basso doubt that it was the cause of the postular rash which accompanied the use of red stocking

NOMINATED BY ACCLAMATION, Concluded from First Pag. may confidently hope that in a short period we will be sweetened by untaxed home 6ugar and protected by untaxed tin-plate. The arts of the demagogue, which were at the last election played upon the credulous to deceive them as to the effects of the McKinley bill, will return to plague the inventors, and this Republican measure, with its kindred measures reciprocity and fair pay to American ships will be among the boasted triumphs of our party, in which our Democratic friend. will, as usual, heartily acquiesce. Applause. THE CURRENCY QUESTION. "There is another question in which the people are vitally inteieated. and that is the currency question. They want good money and plenty of it. They want all their money of equal value, so that a dollar will be the same, whether it ia made of gold, or silver, or paper. We have had this kind of money since the resumption of specie payments in January, 1879. Nobody wants to go back to the old condition of things, when it was gold to the bondholders and paper to the pensioners; when the outstanding government bonds were fifteen hundred millions, and, banks could issue paper money upon the increase of business. But that condition is passing away. Tho bonds are being paid, and the time is coming and has come when the amount of bonds is so reduced and their value is so increased that banks cannot afford to buy bonds upon which to issue circulating notes. "We must contemplate tho time when the national banks will not issue their notes, but become banks of discount and deposit The banks are evidently acting now upon this theory, for they have voluntarily largely reduced their circulation. How ehall this currency be replaced! Certainly not by the notes of State banks. No notes should circulate as money except Buch as have the sanction, authority and guarantee of the United States. The best

form of these is certificates, based upon gold and silver of value equal to the notes outstanding. Nor should any distinction be made between gold and silver. Both should be received at their market value in the markets of the world. Their relative value varies from day to day, and. there is no power strong enough to establish a fixed ratio of value except the concurrence of the chief commercial nations of the world. We com both metals at a fixed ratio, but we maintain them at par with each other by limiting the amount of the cheaper metal to the sum needed for subsidary com and receiving and redeeming it. The demand for the free coinage of silver without limit is a demand that the people of the United States shall pay for silver bullion more than its market price; a demand that it is not and ought not to be made by the producer of any commodity. There is no justice or equity m it if granted by the United States alone it will demonetize gold and derange all the business transactions of our people. What we ought to do and what we now do under the silver law of the last Congress a conservative KepubHcan measure is to buy the entire product of silver mined in the United States at its market value, and upon the security of that silver deposited in the treasury issue treasury notes to the full amount of the cost of the bullion. In this way we add annually to our national currency circulating notes of undoubted value equal to gold to an amount equal to or greater than the increase of our population and the increasing business for our growing country." . "The State of Ohio is an important factor in this great union of States and people. Ohio is a Republican State; one that has taken a conspicuous part in tho great drama of the past. In an evil hour and under wild delusions Ohio elected the recent Democratic Legislature.' With this warning before us let us not be backward in the civic contest in November, but with a ticket worthy of our choice let us appeal to our fellow-citizens to place again our honored State at the head of the Republican column." Cheers. THE PLATFORM. McKinley Law and the National Administration Indorsed Legislature Denounced. Tho committee on resolutions then reported the following platform, which was adopted amid cheers: The Republicans of Ohio in conventi on assembled reailirm and press their adhesion to principles which havo guided them heretofore in promoting the prosperity and happiness of the American people. And we reailirm onr devotion to the patriotic doctrine of protection and recognize the McKinley bill as the ablest exprex&ion of that prinnciple, enacted iu fulfillment of Kopubllcan promises, and we pledce ourselves to its supjort, always having la view Its improvement as chan Rod conditions or experience may require.

Seventh We favor economy in the administration of national and State affairs; prompt and eifectivo restraint of combinations of capitalists for purposes unlawful or at variance with sound publio policy; ample educational facilities for the whole people; the reservation of the publio lands of the United States for homesteads for American citizens, and the restoration to the publio domain of all unearned railroad grants; and we contemplate with pride tho progress of Republican legislation and administration in ail these directions. Eighth The Republican party, ever mindful of the services of the heroic men who saved the Union, favors liberal pensions to the sailors and soldiers of the Republic and a generous care of their widows and orphans. JSinth Tae patriotism, wisdom and ability of 'the ad ministration of President Harrison command our cordial approbation and support, and we especially commend tbe policy of reciprocity by which our trade may be vastly increased by commercial treaties with other nations, and we also commend the vigorous foreign policy of the administration, which has commanded the respect of foreign nations for the flag of our country.

"'We denounce the late ripper" Senate of Ohio for unseating the legally-elected Lieutenant-governor, thus robbing the people of their right under the Constitution to select an Important publio otticer, and we appeal to all lntellixeut and patriotic people of Ohio to unite with us In the recovery of the State from the hands ot the party that for two years past has disgraced it.

Barrett, of Highland county, was nrged by Congressman Pugley; Charles P. Gnilin, of Lucas county, by . H. A. Head, and John AV. liargar, of Pike county, by ex-Representative George W. Kawlins, of Springfield. , Mr. Rawlins desired his nomination as "an unassuming, bona tide representative farmer," who had won the gratitude of the people by his advocacy cf the two-cent railroad fare bilL He was interrupted by some of the opponents of Mr. ilargar, whom be denouueed as "the agents of the corporations." In concluding. Mr. Kawlins sarcastically thanked his "masters, the corporations." for permitting him to speak. At this juncture tho chairman aunounced that through the courtesy of the Associated Press a dispatch would be read which would be pleasing to all Ohioans. The dispatch announced the appointment of exCongressman Charles H. Urosvenor. of Ohio, as agent of the United States Treasnry Department, to visit Europe in the interest of the World's Columbian Imposition. Great applauso greeted the announcement. Tbe tirst ballot for Lieutenant-governor showed Hon. Andrew L. Harris, of Preble county, far in the lead. Before the vote was announced severaicountiesasked leave to change their votes for Mr. -Harris, and the convention declared Harris elected by acclamation. Mr. Harris then thanked tbe convention brietiy for tbe honor. V There was but one name presented for the oftice of Auditor of State. It was that of E. W. Poe, of Wood county', and be was renominated by acclamation. ' For State Treasurer tho candidates were S. D. Campbell, of Jellerson county: W. T. Cope, of Cuyahoga county; John W.

Major McKinley and Senator Sherman had a lengthy private conference this afternoon. The campaign will be inaugurated without loss of time.

New York Times. Within a few years the publio schools have begun tx observe what scbooNchildron stvIeFlag Day," the anniversary of the adoption of the United States liag. As June 14, the anniversary day, falls this year on Sunday, there will be no observance in the schools with the exception of the draping to-morrow of some of the teachers' desks with bunting, and brief exegensis either by the principals or by the teachers ot the history classes. It is a faet which is possibly not familiar to the public at large that the Congress of the thirteen American colonies struggling for independence adopted June 11, 1777. a military and naval standard which was the first general American banner and the forerunnerof tbe rational liag of to-dav. That standard differed from the present liag only in the number and arrangemet of tho stars in the "union," or square, in the upper left corner. It consisted of thirteen stripes alternately red and white, beginning with red, and n union of dark blue, with a circular grouping of thirteen white stars. The union was a sauare with a side equal in length to the breadth of thoiirst seven stripes. Previous to tho adoption of this flag there had been no distinctive American Hag. Several of tho colonies had their favorite devices which they used on colors borno by militia organizations, but there bad been nothing like a recognized Hag for all the colonies. In 1775 tbe Philadelphia Troop of Light Horse, in escorting General Washington from Philadelphia to New York, bad carried a flag which contained red and white stripes, and it continued to carry the same flag until September, 1777. The sight of the stripes in tbe troop's banner, and the fact that the army under Washington before Boston, and subsequently in tbe vicinity of New York, carried Hags in which red and white stripes were prominent, may have conjoined to induce the members of the Congress to choose stripes as the principal characteristic of their national standard. But stripes in the Philadelphia troop's standard and those in the continental army were both doubtless duo to the fact that the Hag of the United Provinces of the Netherlands, familiar to and respected by the colonial settlers, consisted of stripes of orange, white and blue. Bands of rod, white and blue had been used a la chevrons to designate some of the military grades in the tirst week of the war, b?foro tbe 'continental forces had been properly uniformed. The rerult of all these things led to the choica of stripes in the national Hag and the choice of red, white and blue as tbe national colors. Red and white having been chosen for tbe colors of the stripes, it waa Imperative to use blue as the background of tbe "union" or corner field. White was then selected in preference to red as the proper color for thirteen stars shining from a bluo sky. The stars vrcra arranged iu a circle to evi

The Hag as constructed in 1777 Ho&tel over the continental armies at Yorktown. and was the standard of St. Clair's and Wayno'a forces in their couHtcts with tho red men. Kemaiuinjr unvaried until 17U5, it was then enlarged by the addition of two stripes to commemorate tbe entry of Vermout and Kentucky as States into tbo Union, and two new stars were also placed with those in the union. The (stars weie then arranged in three parallel rows. No further variation was made until 1S1?, when the stripes were again made tifteeu in number and five additional stars were distributed in the nnion to represent tWo new States. At the same time when tbeso alterations wore made , bv Congress, it was made obligatory by that bodv that another star should be added on the Pourth of July tirst ensuing after the admission of anew State. Tbe number of States is now forty-four.4 but until July 4 the Hag of the . United Mates of America will contain only fortythree stars. The explanation of the shortage is the feet that the last State, Wvoming. was admitted since the last 4th of July, the date of its entry being July 11, ism The disposition of the stars at present is in six parallel horizontal lines. Eight are placed in the highest and seven in each of the five other lines. Wyoming's star will bo put in either the second or the- sixth line. 9 m men' with grievances. The Indianapolis Conference of Lacked an Inspiring or Respectable BXotlve. Philadelphia Press. i The recent conferance at Indianapolis of certain Republican politicans who cannot reconcile themselves to a possible renomination of President Harrison is not necessarily of great significance. It was not representative in its character;, it was composed -entirely ot what, in political parlance, are known as sore-heads, and thev made Secretary Blaine their favorite, not because they love him more, but Harrison less. Heal friends of Mr. Blaine are not tho ones who will inaugurate movement of this kind. They would know, and do know, 'that action which forces him into hny position he would not voluntarily assume would be a greater wrong to him than to any one else. If he is to be a candidate at all, it will be by his own free consent, and not throutth tbe designs of afew people with grievances against Pes si dent Harrison, and who seek to make nseof Mr. Blaine's name and great popularity with his party to accomplish an unworthy purpose. That would put him in a false position, and, if it could assume anything like formidable proportions, would probably have tho un desired eft set of drawing from him a positive declination er his retirement from tbe administration. To have Mr. Blaine forced to take either course would be most disagreeable to his sincere friends, and those who engage in such a movement as the Indianapolis conference are wholly without consideration for him. It was very timely in Mr. Congei to disclaim any authority to . epeak or act for Mr. Blaine in such a matter. Fortunately, the movement so far baa not proved eutliciently formidable to cause embarrassment, and the vay in which it has been received by the country cannot prove at all encouraging to its promoters. They are far from likelv with their present status to cause trouble for either Secretary Blaine or President Harrison. Grievance movements of this character never enjov popnlar sympathy. The purpose of thelndianapolis conferance which is not to nominate Illaine but to prevent the nomination of Harrison will be rosented quite as warmly by the true friends of Mr. Blaine as by the distinctive supporters of Mr. liarrison. It in no way appeals to the judgment and good sense of tbe party; it has not an inspiring or respectable motive, An imposing confederate monument was unveiled at Pensacola, Fie., yesterday.
