THE DEADLY REVOLVER.

A Terrible Triple Tragedy in the Streets of the Illinois State Capital Two Policemen Shot Down by a Ruffian, Who Is Killed by a Return Shot*. . Springfield (Ill.) special. A double tragedy occurred here this morning, horrible in its details, resulting in the almost instant death of two men, one a policeman and the other a ' citizen, and the wounding of another policeman and a negro woman. A man named Leonard Gardner, owner of a candy store and a restaurant, was arrested last night on a peace warrant for beating his wife, and lodged in the city prison by Officers William J. Camp and Fred Gall. Early this morning Gardner procured bail and was released. He proceeded at once to a store and purchased two forty-four caliber bulldog revolvers, saying that he proposed to kill the two policemen on sight that arrested him. To several persons during the day he made a similar assertion, saying as he flourished the revolvers that he guessed the police would not arrest him now. About seven o’clock this evening Gardner took his position in a hallway on Washington street, between Sixth and Seventh, and as Camp and Gall came up tie stepped out and fired at Gall, who received the ball in his groin and fell, but was unable to get his revolver. Gardner then fired a fatal shot at Camp, the ball taking effect near the heart, but the plucky officer returned the fire after he was shot, emptying four chambers of his forty-four-caliber Remington into Gardner’s body before he (Camp) fell and expired in the arms of Officer Jones. Each of Camp’s shots took effect in Gardner’s body—one in the arm and three in the region of the heart—and he expired -on the spot. A stray shot fired by Gardner struck a negro woman who was passing in the calf of the leg, it is reported, severing an artery. Gall was taken to the Leland Hotel, where he could have surgical. attendance, and an examination showed that the ball took a downward course through the right groin and lodged, and hopes are entertained for his recovery. The bodies of the two dead men were conveyed to police headquarters, where a heartrending scene occurred when Officer Camp’s wife entered and threw herself on the inanimate form of her husband. Camp leaves a wife and five small children in almost destitute circumstances, who have the sympathy of the hundreds that have congregated to talk of the horrible affair, but not a regret is expressed for Gardner. Such a tragedy was never before known in Springfield, and never before has a policeman been killed while on duty. Camp and Gall were considered two of the best men on Jhe force..

DEADLY RAILWAY ACCIDENT.

A Fatal Wreck Near Louisville, Ky t , ip Which Threa Men'Were Killed. [Louisville (Ky.) special. 1 A fatal wreck occurred on the Chesapeake, Ohio and Southwestern Railroad last night, near Pleasure Ridg6 Park, about twenty-five miles from this city, which resulted in the death of three men. A severe storm had been raging in the vicinity early in the afternoon, and a large tree was blown across the tracknt the foot of a steep grade. About 6:30 o’clock the local freight coming toward this city reached that point. The train was traveling at a rapid rate of speed at the time, and as it was getting dark the engineer, Tom Sherrill, did not see the tree until he was too, close to stop. He reversed the engine, but it struck the obstacle with grett force and was thrown from the track, seven cars piling up on top of it. The front brakemau and fireman were in tne engine with Sherrill at the time, and all three were killed almost instantly. The engine and cars were smashed to pieces and the track torn up. The names of the killed are as follows: Tom Sherrill, engineer; Ben J. Peak, brakeman; Tom Filburn, fireman—all of Louisville. T. A. Goodman, the conductor, was injured internally and his back severely strained. All the men were terribly scalded about the head and face, and terribly mangled in the wreck. «

A DRUNKEN MADMAN’S CRIME.

After Shooting; Four People, One Probably Fatally, He Blows Out His Brains. [Salem (Ind.) telegram.J A terrible ease of drunken madness occurred to-day. Fred Berkey, Jr., a son of ■one of the leading citizens of this place, while intoxicated, appeared in the streets and began an indiscriminate fusillade. He fired nine shots, aiming at whoever happened to be in range. Laura Kleiner received two balls, one in the wrist and one in the shoulder. William McClanhan was shot through the hand. W. S. Percise sustained a flesh wound in the thigh. Jordan Payne received a ball through the body just below the breast, and will probably die. Payne when shot was in a buggy with a companion. Dragging Payne from the buggy, Berkey compelled the other man to drive on, and attempted to escape. Finding this impossible, he placed a pistol to his head and fired. The ball took effect, and the young man died in fifteen minutes. * No cause is known for the bloody work, except that Berkey was completely maddened by the liquor he had swallowed.

COLORADO.

The First State to Report Her Intcrdecennial Census. [Washington dispatch.] Secretary Lamar received an iron box today containing the census returns of Colorado. The law requires that States that expect Government aid in the taking of the interdecennial census must send in their returns before Sept 1. Colorado is the first to report. The population of Colorado has increased from 194; 327 in 1880 to 243,910 in 1885, a gain of 49,583. The number of fanners in the State is nearly doubled, there being 8,474 to 4,506 in 1880. The 559 manufcuettaring establishments in 1880 have multiplied to 1,004.

A NEW TARIFF BILL.

The Ilandall Win? in Congress Has Agreed to a Revenue-Reform Measure. [Philadelphia telecram.] Tlte Press prints the following Washington special regarding a recent tariff deal among the Democrats: “The apparent non-committal attitude on the question of the tariff is the result of recent conferences in which the more moderate Democrats, including the President himself and Secretary Manning, have thrown out the tub which is intended, at least for the present, to satisfy the free-trade whale. In the conference which has led to this result, which took place recently in Washington, Congressman Bandall took a leading part, and in many respects his views had much to do in shaping the new Democratic policy. “First of ail it was agreed on all sides that the tariff must be revised. At last, after much discussion, in which the advice of certain well-known protectionists was sought and freely and frankly given, the moderates agreed to give the immoderates a $40,000,000 reduction in customs during the coming session, the moderates, however, to reserve the right of creating a sort of inner-circle tariff commission to be run during the months preceding the coming session of Congress as a sort of side-show to the Treasury Department. “It must not for a moment be supposed that a reduction of $40,000,000, which involves the acceptance and support on the part of the free traders of a bill prepared entirely by the Bandall wing of the Democratic party, was agreed to without other and still more substantial promises in the immediate future. It has been practically agreed upon that the Treasury Department, aided and abetted by such manufacturers as may be round willing to co-oper-ate with the Secretary, will present a bill, the basis of which will be, as I have said, the reduction of $40,000,000, or at least an apparent reduction of that amount. “To this end the Treasury Department has employed several experts, who are now engaged in obtaining opinions of manufacturers throughout the country, and such information as it is enabled to gather in relation to the cost of production at home and in competing European countries. All this information will be tabulated and a bill framed after the fashion of that proposed (and finally passed) by Secretary of the Treasury Walker, and which is known as the ‘ Walker bill of 1846.’ “On paper and viewed as a whole, this is a splendid scheme. The moment, however, the bill, as proposed by the Secretary of the Treasury, comes into the House and is taken up—as it most assuredly will be—line by line, the Democratic party will be in the same condition as it always has been on the tariff question. A struggle over the proposed Treasury bill will, in fact, develop the old struggle again. The least objectionable measure may be passed, but a measure that contemplates the reduction of $40,000,000 of customs duties will, in the opinion of some of the leading Bepublicans here, utterly fail. ”

THE BOOMERS DISPERSE.

Oklahoma Home-Seekers Have Given Up the Struggle and Broken Camp. [Washington special. I It is learned that satisfactory evidence lias been submitted to tbe Attorney General of the intention of the Oklahoma boomers to abandon all idea of further attempts to invade Oklahoma or violate the President’s proclamation, and have broken camp. This evidence is 6aid to come from the boomers themselves and from Congressmen and others in position to know the facts and vouch for the sincerity and good faith of the statements. The explanation given is that the boomers are satisfied with the policy of the administration, which they regard as just, and do not care to resist the Government when it applies the same restrictions to the cattlemen as it does to themselves. They have become convinced that the administration intends to protect the Indians, and they concede that this is right, their claim having been based upon the idea that they had as much right to oocupy the lands as the leaseholders and cattlemen who were permitted to do so. Attorney General Garland is said to he fully satisfied with these assurances, and it is understood that he will at an early day direct the discontinuance of contemplated prosecutions against the invaders.

POUNDMAKER A CONVICT.

He Is Found Guilty of Making War Against tlie Queen and Sentenced to Three Years in Frison. [Winnipeg (Man.) special.] Poundmaker, Chief of the Indians who fought Col. Otter’s flying column at Cut-Ivnife Creek, and afterward attacked and captured a supply-train of tliirty-one wagons in the Eagle Hills, was convicted at Regina of making war against the queen and sentenced to three years in the Penitentiary. The Chief, when he heard the sentence, asked that he be hanged right away rather than bo imprisoned. Before sentence was passed on him he said: “I was good all summer. People told lies. I saved a lot of bloodshed. I can’t understand how it is that after saving so many lives lam brought here. I could have been on the prairies still if I would.” Then waving his hand majestically he said, with a smile: “I am a man. Do as you like. lam in your power. I gave myself up. You did not cutoh me.”

to his company, although still compelled to use crutches in traveling. He remained with the command, doing what service he was able, until the late summer of 1863, when his wounds having broken out afresh, and threatening fatal result, he was obliged to resign the service. He has never fully recovered, and yet carries his cane, a constant reminder of his part in the great war. He returned to his former home in Yinton, and was afterward elected County Judge, and then for four successive terms elected Clerk of the District Court, which position he resigned on his election in 1874 to the office of Auditor of State, to which he was twice re-elected. In 1881 he was elected Governor of lowa, and on the expiration of the term in 1883 was re-elected to that high office. Gov. Sherman was married Aug. 20,1862, to Miss Lena Kendall, of Vinton, a lady of rare accomplishments, who has done much toward the very successful career of her husband.

Paper from Sugar Cane.

Until recently sugar cane was looked upon as practically worthless also, and was permitted th go to waste by the thousands of tons. In pursuing some investigations a short time ago for the purpose of discovering, if possible, whether the fiber of the cane could not bo used in tbe manufacture of bagging, a gentleman found properties which convinced him that paper could be made of the stalk if suitable machinery could be devised for reducing it to a pulp. After many discouragements the task was accomplished, and of the first batch of pnlp manufactured a Northern paper mill recently made enough sugar cane paper to print one edition of the New Orleans Picaywne. A copy of the paper now in hand is substantial and tough, with fair color and smooth surfaces, It is claimed for it that it Will be specially desirable for use on fast prmting presses, and that, its manufacture, which is now regarded as a permanent enterprise, will add largely to the wealth of Louisiana, as welj as tend still further to simplify the problem of paper making.— Chicago Herald,

OHIO DEMOCRATS.

in Harmonious State Convention-s-Gov. Hoadly Renominated by Acclamation. Resolutions Adopted Favoring the Regulation of the Liquor Traffic by Graded Licenses. [Columbus special to Chicago Herald.] The Democratic Htato ticket nominated here to-day is: For Governor, George Hoadly, present incumbent; Lieutenant Governor, John G. Warwick; Supreme Judge, long tern, C. D. Martin; Supreme Judge, to fill vacanoy caused by the deatu of John W. Okey. Gibsou Atherton; Treasurer, Peter Brady; Attorney Genetal, James Lawrence; member of the Board of Public Works, Henry Weible.The convention was called to order by T. J. Cogan. By the adoption of the report of the Committee on Permanent Organization, John Follett, of Cincinnati, was made Chairman, and George W. Hull Secretary. In teturnlng his thanks, the Chairman was loudly applauded when he said this wiiS a Democratic State Convention under a National Democratic administration which was grand and pure. The Committee ou Resolutions not being ready to report, the convention proceeded to the nomination of a candidate for Governor. Congressman George W. Geddes offered the name of Gov. Hoadly in quite a lengthy speech, recounting his brilliant record as Governor, and also paying a high compliment to A. G. Thurman, and announcing that he would not allow the use of iris name before the convention. Geddes closed his eloquent peroration bv moving a suspension of the rules and the nomination of Hoadly by acclamation. This was received with long applause, and no word of objection was heard to the motion. , Gen. Michael Ryan, of Cincinnati, followod, seconding the qiotion, nnd defended the Governor at length against the charges that he had made mistakes. When the motion was put the voice was unanimous and enthusiastic, with the exception of a tew voices from tho Hamilton County delegation. After a committee had been appointed to wait on Gov. Hoadly and bring him before the convention, W. V. Marquis, of _ Logan County, in a short speech, presented the name of John G. Warwick, of Massillon, for renomination for Lieutenant Governor. The motion was immediately put and carried unanimously, amid great applause. At this juncture tho nominee for Governor was brought to the platform amid a shower of hats and a roar of human applause. Thanking the convention for renewed confidence, he said he dodged no issues, and there was not a fence in Ohio which he would straddle. Ho was against prohibition, and every one knew it. He asserted that ho was tor American liberty. Irrespective of color. He voted for Grover Cleveland, and thanked God for it. He was and would continue to lie loyal to Mr. Cleveland’s administration. He explained why he had not been an outspoken candidate for the nomination. The party had brought him through before in an ambulauce without much effort on his part, and be thought he had no right to claim a renomination under the rules of precedent. The4;convention being free to act without asking, he could not heli> responding to the call, and with better health he would hope even better results. In the discharge of hts trusts he demanded the most searching criticism In all his official acts. He work of the last Legislature, saying nothing had been done by it which Judge Foraker would hav'e dared to veto if he had.power. he thought that Foraker, instead of finding fault with the present administration, should be defending the memory of Rutherford B. Hayes and the Legislature whieh robbed Cincinnati of local self-govern-ment. Gov. Hoadly defined himself as against prohibition, and did not believe regulation and taxation was eternal. Taxation was odious to him. After bhe Governor had concluded his speech, on motion of the Hamilton County contingent, which had objected to his renomination, three cheers were given. The other nominations followed as above given, no opposition being manifest save In the nominations for candidates for the Supreme Bench. Martin had an opponent in Judge Gilmore, and Atherton in George B. okey, son of the late Incumbent. The platform as read by \V. W. Armstrong consists of fourteen sections, and the following is a synopsis of the whole: It congratulates the country on the election of a Democratic President and the revival of prosperity under Dem-; ocratic rule, and indorses the administration; approves the measures of a Democratic Congress for preventing the acqusition of unearned lands by railroad corporations. It reaffirms the national platform of principles adopted at Chicago last year; commends Hoadly s administration as wise and economical; denounces the Republicans for defeating measures for licensing the liquor traffic; Tavors a judicious and properly graded license system; pledges the party to be the enemy of monopoly, the friend of labor, and favors arbitration as the best means for settling differences between labor and Its employers. It commends the steps taken in prison reform, favors the preservation of the canals, the establishment of an intermediate penitentiary for the reform of prisoners not belonging to the criminal classes, and the changing of tho date of State elections to November. It pays a tribute to the memory of Gen. Grant, and mourns the death of Judge John W. Okey. This was rapturously adopted, and the convention adjourned, the utmost harmony prevailing. The ticket is regarded as an unusually strong one, and has the prestige of past success. 'J he plattorm promulgated by the convention Is the subject si some comment. The Republicans were in hopes the Democrats would insert in the creed of the party a plank declaring open war on prohibition. This, however, the Democrats did not do in a very direct way, much to the discomfort of the Republicans. On the other hand. Judge Hoadly in his speech of acceptance avowed himself an open enemy to prohibition and a friend of the license theory. The Republicans are by no means pleased with the present attitude of their old-time allies, tne Prohibitionists, and are not to any appreciable degree satisfied with the provisions of their own platform on the topic. The nominations of the day practically open the campaign of the year, and It is not improbable that Messrs. Hoadly and Foraker will meet in joint debate during the fall. If there is any undercurrent of venom and spite among the Democrats, It is confined to very few of the party, and will not amount to very much. Gov. Hoadly, John F. Follett, and other prominent Democrats of tte Buckeye State addressed a large and enthusiastic ratification meeting in the State House grounds to-night. About 6,000 persons were present. The new Democratic State Central Committee organized this afternoon by retaining Mr. Cogan, of Hamilton County, as Chairman. T. C. Layton, of Auglaize, was selected Vice Chairman, and J. C. Tobias, of Crawford, Secretary. The work of the campaign was Informally discussed, but no definite course of action was determined upon. The committee-rooms will be opened Monday next, and the campaign will at once be inaugurated. The Feeling at Washington. [Washington telegram.) The renomination of Gov. Hoadly and the hearty Indorsement of the administration by the Uhio Democratic Convention is a source of great satisfaction to the officials of thevar.ous departments, who express confidence in the ability of the Democracy to carry the State at the gubernatorial election. They were not prepared, however, to prodict at this moment what influence Gov. Hoadly’s declared (opposition to prohibition might by indirection exert in strengthening the Republican ticket, but if entire harmony shall prevail among the various factions of the Ohio Democracy they apprehend but little danger on this account. A prominent Ohio Democrat, holding office at Washington, said that had the convention fat ed to properly indorse the administration the Republicans wou.d have swept the State. He believed the action of the Ohio Democracy would teach a wholesome lesson to marplots and malcontents all over the country. Delighted Democrats. ’ [Dayton (Ohio) dispatch.] Democrats here are deli-hted with the work of the convention at Columbus, and feel confident that the old ticket will lead them to victory, as It did two yea. s ago. The news of Gov. Hoadly’s nomination was received here wth booming of cannon. All agree that Hoadly has I made an excellent Stat e executive: that he was entitled to a renomination; and that he will be re-elected this tall.

UNITED HOSTS.

lowa Democrats Form a Fusion wit> Greenbackera to Face a Common Enemy. The Inhibitory Legislation of the State Denounced ns Hostile to Temperance. The lowa Democratic State Convention convened at Cedar Rapids on Wednesday, the 19tb of August, and was called to order by Hon. L. G. Kinne, Chairman of the State Central Committee. After prayer by the Rev. Dr. Ringgold, an address of weloome was delivered by tha Hon. C. H. Preston, of Cedar Rapids. Col. Kestley, editor of the Council Bluffs Globe, was made temporary Chairman. Fred W. Lehman, of Des Moines, was selected as permanent Chairman, and made an eloquent address on taking the chair, and stamped his personality closely upon the convention. He is short in stature, clean-shaven, and speaks rapidly, clearly, and distinctly, with conviction and earnestness in every tone. Ho proved a capable Chairman, and managed to keep tolerable order during the most exciting scenes of the day. In tbe course of his address he referred to the “three Ws—reading, ’ritlng, and ’rithmetlc," not the other “three R‘s,“ and his hit was so happy that the convention was convulsed. He reviewed the Oklahoma question, and paralleled the action of Republican and Democratic justice on the subject. He dwelt upon the Prohibition issue, and said the Demooratlo candidates must go squarely before the people in opposition to this accursed law. As showing the unanimity of feeling upon this question, the applause which followed the allusion to the accursed prohibition statute and demanding Us repeal was most earnest. Mr. Lehman said that if prohibition in lowa accomplished all that was claimed tor it he would not exchange such results for those of trial by jury, which It abrogated. He said the Democratic party should be one in language, law, faith, and destiny, as it has been one in history. The liquor plank in the platform was a point of contention, a portion believing that the minimum should be ssuo, but it was soon shown that to carry tbe solid vote the minimum should be lowered, and the platform was adopted after discussion by ‘a unanimous and enthusiastic vote. Col. A. R. MoCoy was first upon his foot for the nomination of a candidate, and presented the name of Capt. Merrill. He Baid Merrill was a soldier's candidate, an nltra-Democrat, and a strong anti-Prohibltlonist. Messrs. Finn, of Story, and Smith, of Soott, followed, seconding the nomination. Mr. Keatley, of Council Bluffs, nominated Senator Whiting, and this action was seconded by Capt. Bell. Mr. Bolton, of Harrison, followed in a strong speech, seconding tho nomination. Mr. Bolton spoke until the friends of Merrill called "TimeT when oiioa of “Goonl" “Go on I" tilled the house and gavo the first indication of the solid strength of Whiting’s ioroes. Horaoe Boles, of Waterloo, was then put fn nomination. His strong point was that he cams from Buffalo. Senator Jones, of tho Dubuquo delegation, gut in nomination William G. Stewart, of Duuque. Jones spoke from the stage, and was interrupted by the Chairman of the Dubuque delegation, who wanted to know if the Colonel had any authority for his action. The doughty old gentleman replied that he spoke upon tho authority of an American citizen and a Democrat, and as no second was entered his authority went unquestioned. When the balloting began it was evldeilt that Whiting and fusion on a Democratlo basis stood in the lead, and at the end of the call of counties Kinne had received 42, Merrill 2tK', Whiting 316 votes, lacking eight of nomination. A b eak from Klnno followed to both candidates, and a grand change began. The wildest confusion ensued, in wblch the Chairmen of numerous delegations were yelling for recognition. Order was fina ly restored and when the changes were recorded the result gave Whiting the nomination. Capt. Merrill promised the hearty support of himself and his lrlends, and upon his motion the nomination was made unanimous. Mr. Brennan was nominated for Bimreme Judge, and then camo the question of fusion. When it was moved tha, the convention prooeed to nominate a candidate for Lieutenant Governor, a bitter contest followed, but the motion was carried and the nomiuation of Mr. Gillette, the Greenback oandidate, followed. THE PLATI'OKM. The convention,-after a shaip debate on an amendment to increase the license to a five hundred dollar minimum, passed the following resolutions: The Democratlo party of lowa announces the following platform of principles: l. Wc approve of and adopt the principles of the late Democratic National Convention. 2. We declare in favor of the repeal of the prohibitory liquor law of the State of lowa as unjust aHd hostile to temperance. 3. We pledge ourselves to favor and use onr best efforts for the enactment of a license law of two hundred and fifty dollars, with power to increase the same from two hundred and fifty to one thousand dollars, as may be deemed best for tho public Interest in the various localities of the State, as expressed by the legal constituted authorities of such location. 4. We pledge ourselves to favor and me onr best effort* for the enactment of a law which shall punish as criminal the manufacture and sale of all adulterated liquors, such adulteration being the direct oause of intemperance, and destructive of the health of the people. 6. We condemn as disgraceful and tyrannical the action of the Republican executive of the State in driving out with muskets and fixed . bayonets a one-armed soldier elected by the / people.Jn time of profound peace, before any judgment of a civil court had been rendered against him, thus making the civil power of the State subjective to the military power. We denounce such acts as truly destructive to civil liberty and an insult to the people. 6. Wc urge upon Congress the prompt enactment of appropriate legislation to open to settlement the forfeited railroad lands in the State. 7. We approve the action of the Democrailo Senators of the Twentieth General Assembly in voting unanimously in favor of the prompt con-ideration of the bill known as the Cassat mining bill, and condemn the action of the Republicans in promising the in ner-* of this State adequate legislation, and then denying them even a lair hearing. 8. That, while we oppose all monopolies, we recognize the right and duty of the Government to give the greatest p ssible liberty to every citizen consistent with the rights of every other citizen; and we believe, and announce it as one of tbe fundamental principles of the Democratic party, that labor la the.foundition of wealth, and that the laborer shot, Id be the speoial object of the c re of the Government. 9. That in President Cleveland the country has fonnd a man of solid judgment, conscientious integrity, unswerving fidelity, patriotism, and courage equal to that of Andrew Jackson; and in hisefiorts for economy; for the exposure of criminal acts of the Republican party and its officers; for his untlinohingfirmness in dealing with the cattle kings; for his zeal in behalf of reform; for his efforts to restore the public lands to the settlers; for his efforts to enforoe tbe law against polygamy; and for his constant watchfulness of the public welfare be deserves to receive the hearty thanks of the Democracy of lowa and its unswerving support. 10. With these principles we go before the people of lowa, calling npon all who believe a change is demanded, nnd that the books shall bo opened and examined, and all who are tired of lana lcism and folly, whot her Democrat. Greenbacker, or Republican, to unite with ns in bringing about the resnlts to which we are hereI by pledged. The resolution Indorsing the administration was received with enthusiasm. Wonder if the Republican donkeys in charge of the Ohio campaign will send an invitation to the deceased Senator Morrill, of Maine, to stump the State, as they did last year. If they still insist on having a dead statesman, perhaps they might galvanize Blaine into campaign life by offering as a reempty honor of the nett Republican nomination to tho Presi- | dency.
