McCoy, one of the leading politicians of the Ninth district. The goats were bought at Kansas City, and being from Missouri, they wanted to be shown things, and a number got out of their pasture and on the tracks of tne Hon on Railroad.

UNION CITY, Intl.. Oct. 1. John Dougherty, aged fifty, of this city, while employed on the Big Four bridge at Houston, O., fell twenty-five feet to-day and died from his injuries in ten minutes.

Considerable excitement was created last night among the farmers near the big woods of Fred Kunpf, two miles south of here, by the mysterious actions of seven strangers, four women and three men, who appeared late at night in a vehicle, from which they took an object thoroughly wrapped up in a sheet. The men carried the bundle and the women carried cans filled with kerosene and went into the thickest portion of the woods, far from a highway, and started a big fire. After kneeling as though in prayer, then singing several hymns, the men saturated the bundle with the fluid from the cans and threw it on the fire. A blaze flashed up, which burned fiercely for about an hour, as occasionally a fresh supply of oil would be administered to the object on the flre. Finally, when the incineration was over and the strangers had departed Prof. Fishback and several other persons living in the neighborhood went to the scene and discovered fragments of bones, but as yet it has not been determined whether the bones are those of a human being or an animal. A thorough investigation will be made. HOSPITAL SITE SECIRED. Fort Wayne Lutherans to Purchase the Jndge Nlnde Mansion. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FORT WAYNE. Ind., Oct. l.-The Lutheran Hospital Association has just completed a deal for the purchase of the former home of the late Judge L. M. Ninde for the erection of a hospital. The fine brick mansion which was constructed in Judge Ninde's palmy days at a cost of $20,000 stands in a fine grove of natural woods south of the city. It passed into the hands of creditors after his death and was secured for the hospital for $10,000 through W, E. Doud. The property is now in the city limits and will make possible the purposes of the local Lutheran Church to build and maintain a hospital. The mansion with its twenty rooms will be a home for trained nurses, other space on the square being used as the site for the hospital, nearly the necessary funds for which have been subscribed. CONVICTED OF PERJURY. Old Man Who Assisted in Procuring: of a Marrlnge License. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind., Oct. 1. Seventy years old and with not a person in the courtroom to call his friend, Fenny R, Stumpft was to-day convicted of perjury in the Circuit Court. The alleged perjury was committed on May 14, 1903, when Stumpff made an affidavit that Annie Estes, Of Lockport, Ky., was eighteen years of age and that she was also a resident of this county so that a marriage license could be secured for her to marry Dr. F. V. Yancey, also of Lockport. The testimony showed that Stumpff was picked up by Yancey in Louisville and on receiving a promise of a few drinks and a little money came to this city and made the affidavit. When he reached here he was taken in charge by James Keigwin, Jr., who went with him to the courthouse and assisted in securing the document. Keigwin is also under iudictment for perjury. There is only one chance of the old man not going to prison and that is due to a wrong allegation in the indictment, and his attorney may ask for a new trial on th M grounds. The indictment nays that the license was issued by County Clerk Frank W. Carr, but the testimony produced the fact that Mr. Carr's deputy, Mrs. S. E. Carr, was the one who sold the document. Stumpff's home Is in Kentucky. Woman Quickly Overtaken. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. I LAFAYETTE, Ind., Oct. l.-Awakened by the cries of his domestic's infant, the Rev.

Chief Harrison telegraphed to the St. Louis police to apprehend the woman and this afternoon he received word that she had been captured and was being held. Detective Powell left this afternoon to bring her back to Lafayette. Miss Holthouse a Eligibility. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND. Ind.. Oct. l.-The announcement by Miss Nora Holthouse that she is a candidate for recorder on the Republican ticket has caused much discussion as to whether a woman is eligible to hold a county office in this State. The statute, in defining the qualifications of a county officer, says that no person shall be elec ted or appointed to a county office who shall not be an elector of the county. The law dictionary defines an elector as one who has the tight to vote. The Supreme Court of Indiana, In handing down a decision in l!i. suys that a woman has not the right to vote. Thus It appears that Miss Holthouse is not eligible, but she takes the ground that if ihe voters see fit to elect her she should have the right to serve. If elected she hopes to take the office without a contest. Married Fifty-Three Years. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PARIS. III..

This is regarded in authoritative quarters as being a most important step as affecting RussoJapanese relations, and as likely to accentuate the possibilities of a war crisis. Japan's decision is considered to be directly related to Russia's proposition to vacate II inehuria Oct. 8. It is now accepted in the highest quarter.- that this evacuation is impossible of accomplishment, as China has not signed the terms on which Russia conditioned her evacuation.

M'CLELLAN FOR MAYOR

MURPHY SLATE GOES THROUGH IS THE XEW YORK UM fMTfOX. Big t rush at Carnegie Hall, Where the Democrats Met Grout's ame Causes a Vigorous Protest. NEW YORK. Oct. 1 Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, to-night carried through his programme at the Democratic city convention at Carnegie Hall. The Democrats named George B. McClellan for mayor, Edward M. Grout for controller and Charles V. Fornes for president of the Board of Aldermen. Thousands crowded the hall and thousands more were unable to gain admission. There were scenes of wild excitement within the building aud a great crush in which many were hurt outside. The boroughs of Manhattan, Bronx, Queens and Richmond went solid for McClellan. The Brooklyn delegates, with the exception of one man, voted for Justice William J. Gaynor. McClellan received 434 votes and Gaynor 210. The Kings county delegation entered a protest with the committee on resolutions against the placing of the names of Grout and Fornes on the ticket and they voted solidly against these men when it came to a question of nomination. James J. Martin, chairman of the Democratic city convention, also declined to rots for the nomination of Grout and Fornes, whose names recently were placed on the fusion ticket. Nevertheless they became the nominees of the convention. Mr. Grout by a vote of 428 as against 225 for Julian D. Fairchlld, the Brooklyn candi- !;:;.. Fornes won by a similar vote over Herman A. Metz, proposed also by Brooklyn. The resolutions committee returned its report after 10 o'clock, when the platform was read, lt was received with comparative indifference; only three or four times was there any pronounced applause and references reflecting on President Roosevelt passed without comment. The platform set forth that Democrats and Republicans everywhere would await the results of the coming election with an interest only second to that taken in a national political contest. Among other thiugs the platform says: "We believe in such municipal 'ownership of public utilities as the financial condition of the city shall permit It to assume." The question as to whether the names of Messrs. Grout and Fornes will be erased from the fusion ticket will be decided at a meeting of the Citizens' Union to be held to-morrow night. The Republican representatives are awaiting action by the Citizens' I'nion leaders. A conference of M. Linn Brüse, chairman of the Republican county committee, Timothy L. Woodruff and Edward Lauterbach was held to-night, and it was decided that if the Citizens' I'nion city committee removed Messrs. Grout and Fornes from their ticket Mr. Woodruff, as chairman of the Republican city convention, would issue a call for the reconvening of the convention on Tuesday night, when similar action would be taken. BLOODY TRAGEDY AT OXFORD. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) and pulling a bottle of whisky from his pocket, Louis Spivey took a drink from it and then made as though he intended to pass it around. Marshal John Woodrough had been apprised of the presence and conduct of the two men and approached Louis Spivey and placed him under arrest. Immediately his brother, Jos. Spivey, whipped out a .4S-cali-bre revolver and shot the marshal through the left nipple. Mr. Munns and Walter Jones, who were standing in front of their respective places of business, called to the marshal to come into Mr. Munns's store. The marshal walked into his store and sank to the floor. Dr. Hugh AI. Moore was summoned and he immediately took the stricken officer to his own office and probed for the bullet. It was located under the shoulder blade and extracted. The strong constitution of the marshal may enable him to survive, although his wound is almost a mortal one. CHASED BY A POSSE. The two Spivey brothers then started west on High street. Citizens quickly formed a posse and, seizing shotguns, revolvers, etc., from, a near-by hardware store that was robbed, started in pursuit. Deputy Jacob Manrod was stauding near at the time of the shooting, and, although unarmed, headed the chase. The Kentuckiaus turned and fired at him, and he was shot in the left wrist and his arm broken, and almost simultaneously a bullet entered his left breast, inflicting a fatal wound. He was removed to the office of Dr. Hugh Moore, where Marshal Woodrough had been previously taken, and Dr. Moore, assisted by Drs. Munns, Hill and Deneen, began to probe for the bullet, but they could not locate lt, and he was later removed to his room in the Homer block and put in charge of a nurse. The Spivey brothers continued their flight west on High street and when near Oxford College turned and flred on the pursuing posse. A bullet struck E. V. Jetter. a teacher in the district school a few miles west of Oxford. He was just returning from his day's teaching and was passing by the crowd. The bullet pierced his groin, and it is thought he cannot recover. He was just elected to his position and assumed charge three weeks ago. He Is twenty-two years old and came from Monroe, O. He was living with his sister in Oxford while teaching out in the country. After he was shot he was removed to the Oxford Retreat, where an attempt was made to locate the bullet with an X-ray machine. LOUIS SPIVEY SHOT DOWN. The Spivey brothers then continued their flight west on High street and made a defiant stand in front of the residence of Mrs. Sarah Greer, opposite the Oxford College, taking shelter behind a tree. The posse soon dislodged them and they ran to the next alley, where they separated, Louis Spivey turning into and running up the alley and Joseph Spivey continuing west on High street. Louis Spivey had not run over 100 feet up the alley until he was struck by a bullet from the posse and fell. He was quickly overtaken and Constable John Moon, together with special sworn deputies, removed him to the town jail. Dr. H. H. Smith, of Reiley. who was visiting the street fair, was summoned and administered to his wound. He wa shot in the abdomen and the doctor probed to the depth of four and one-half inches but was unable to locate the ball. Joseph Spivey turned at the next square and ran north to Church street, where he again turned, running west toward the Catholic Church. The posse was close behind him with a negro, Letcher Burton, in the lead. Spivey turned and shot three times at Burton, emptying his revolver. The shots went wide of their mark. Thi3 was his last stand, and it was made in front of the residence of Mrs. D. M. Wiseman. He then turned up an alley into North street. Burton following close onto his heels. FELLED WITH A BOWLDER. When Spivey was in front of the residence of Horace Cormier, the negro Burton succeeded in hitting him in the back of the head with a huge bowlder. Spivey fell to the ground with a fractured skull, unconscious. Ex-Mayor Flanagan, who was in the citizens' posse, came up quickly. and with the aid of several citizens carried him to the town jail and locked him up. A large crowd followed and soon surrounded the jail. They had secured a rope and endeavored to take both Louis Spivey and Joseph Spivey out of the officers hands.

but they were frustrated by the officers. The mob also had no recognised leader and was ineffectual in its desire. Finally Everett Woodruff, the father of the wounded marshal, appeared on the scene, and said he expected the mob to avenge the murder of his son. He himself directing the mob, they proceeded. The door of the jail was battered down and a long rope was fastened around the neck of Joseph Spivey and he was led forth. Fully one hundred men had hold of the rope, and they dragged him through the street in the direction of the public park. Spivey begged and cried for mercy and implored the mob to allow him to see his wife and children before they killed him. "My God, men, give me a show,'' cried the terrified man. He was led into the street by the noose and hustled away toward the tree on which Corbin, the negro, was lynched. "Take him to the tree where we lynched the nigger."' somebody shouted, and the mob made for it. The old tree stands at the corner of the east village park in the heart of town. On the way Spivey wailed and cried: "Give me a show, men. Let me just write a word to my wife and baby before you kill me. Let me pray a little for God's sake, men." HANGED TO A TREE.

The platform reaffirmed .he principles of Democracy, declaring tha' ti e "Democratic party shall fight the -tru't oligarchy now as it fought the political oligarchy with Jefferson."

The number of accidents by drowning, large as it has been of late, is tn keeping with the opportunities of the season The statistical quota must be maintained with fatal and unerring precision. While a very large proportion of deaths from immersion are preventable. It is almost useless to warn the careless and unthinking p r - n of his danger. The playful idiot who rocks) the loaded boat is impossible of -llmlnation, save in the exceptional Instances when he goes down with the rest, but It become the prudent amateur sailor to be always on careful guard against the slightest mishap to his craft. The trouble Is. however, that the Individuals "who know it nil" and are willing to take other lives in their hands are too numerous to mention. It is when It la too late that the vletims realise the real extent to which misplaced confidence may jeopardise their Uvea. Still this must always be the case so long as rowing and sailing are the prevalent summer amusements and fools sre in plenty to take command. M JG (VLjy twy Sjyr9r, . 24
