NOT A KICK PERMITTED.

McKinleyism Overrides All Sorts of Opposition. Protection Solely for the Sake of Protection. McKinley Is Nominated on His Own Platform. Tha Convention Falls to Urge Sherman's Re-Electlon. Blaine' Doom Given a Great Deal of Encouragement. ...William Mellnley A. L. Harris E. W. Poo ,W. T. Cop . J. K. Richard M.J. Williams A. F, Hail F. M. McNeal Lien tenant-governor. Auditor., Treaiurar .Attorney-genera!... Judge iupenor court lmbi board ot publle works Iteiry conimUiioner. Columbus, O., Jane 17. Special. The second day's session of the republican state convention was remarkable from the fact that not more than one ballot was had to make any nomination, for its unqualified indorsement f the most ultra-protection principles, tha continued predominance of the Blaine lentiment and the failure to indorse John Eherman for re-election to the senate. The firstresult was easily brought about, for all the work of the convention had been carefully laid out in advance and cmly awaited formal ratification by the delegates. Protection is to be the sole issue of the campaign. McKinley demanded that as a condition precedent to his candidacy. He carried hia point after an all-night ht in the committee on resolutions There was a strong low tariff element in the committee, but it was given to understand that there was no chance for carrying the state except ly the use of money, and that money could only be secured by declaring squarely for protection lor protection Veake. Finally the low tariff men sacrificed their principles for the prospect of success, and tbo most decided tariff plAnk ever adopted in an American conTention was incorporated in the platform. It went even farther than John Sherman would go, for it pave unqualified indorsement to the McKinley bill, which Sherman admitted might not be exactly tho thing in all its details. Today like yesterday was noted for the wild enthusiasm which greeted every mention of tiie name of James (J. Blaine and there ia either already organized a formidable Blaine boom in the state of Ohio or el?e the spontaneity of good feeling manifested toward the secretary of state marks him as the favorite of the Buckeye state. The Blaine followers got in their work on the platform when, in indorsing the administration, special reference was made to the conduct of foreign affairs. Sherman was not indorsed for re-election to the senate simply because Foraker wants to be senator and a majority of the delegates preferred him to the present senator. It was the first convention in twenty years which has failed to indorse John Sherman. lie ieltthe loss of power keenly but let himself down as easily as possible by early in the day asking that no special indorsement be given him. It wasn't Bat his request was by no means wholly voicing eaid : "The responsible for that fact. In this request Senator Sherman republican party in Ohio has never seen the time when it was freer from contention of any kind or nature than at this moment. I have no evidence of any movement antagonistic to me. My own county and counties throughout the state generally have, whenever the subject has been brought up, passed tho kindest of resolutions reeardinjr myself and my public eervices. Through a desire cot to embarraea in any way the state ticket, it baa been thought best not to indorse any one as a candidate for the 17. S. eenatorehiD but to work first to secure control of tho legislature and after that allow t;.c:n to make their choice of a suitable mm." Thustht; Ohio campaign is formally inaugurated. A show of republican harxnony has been secured by sacrificing everything else to that end. But the Sherman and Foraker feud is likely to break out at any moment with most disastrous results, for it is almost certain either would prefer the election of a democrat to the triumph of the other. The fact that a senator is to be elected is rather a source of weakness than of strength to the republicans this year. The strong declaration for protection is also likt-ly to prove a source of weakness to the republicans, for it kills the last hope oi those who had believed that the tariff coald be reformed in the house of its friends. tstill another act of the convention, or rather the delegates, which will hurt the

Let's reason together. Here's a firm, one of the largest the country over, the world over ; it has grown, step by step, through the years to greatness and it sells patent medicines ! ugh ! " That's enough ! Wait a little This firm pays the newspapers good money (expensive work, this advertising I ) to tell the people that they have faith in what they sell, so much faith that if they can't benefit or cure they dont want your money. Their guarantee is not indefinite and relative, but definite and absolute if the medicine doesn't help, your money is "on call" Suppose every sick man and every feeble woman tried these medicines and found them worthless, who would be the loser, you or they ? The medicines are Doctor Pierce's "Golden Medical Discovery," for blood diseases, and his "Favorite Prescription," for w oman's peculiar ills. If they help toward health, hey cot $i-oo a bottle each! If they don't, thy cost nothinz

republican chances, was the manifest preference for Blaine as a presidential candidate. The llarrisonian officeholders will be in no fear of a dismissal if they fail to hustle for the ticket, and under those circumstances the offico-holding brigade will not be a bulwark of strength as usual. An open bid for the alliance vote was made by selecting a farmer as candidate for lieutenant-governor, but it is not believed that the bid will be accepted to any marked extent Altogether, while a show of the utmost harmony has been secured, republican chances for success are in no way better than they were before the convention was held. The Platform. The platform adopted today is in twelve sections. It opens with a strong protection plank declaring the McKinley bill the best expression of the protective principle, following this with a demand of congress and the legislature for legislation to protect agriculture and labor. A third plank demands special protection for the wool growers. The platform also indor?es the silver coinage act of the last congress and demands a free and fair ballot without any direct reference to the force biil. It favors the regulation of minigration without specifying any plans. It favors economy in state and national affairs, ample educational facilities and the forfeiture of unearned land grants, pointing with pride tp the republican party s record in these matters. It favors liberal pensions and heartily indorses the administration of President Harrison, more especially its foreign policy ; commends the course of Senator Sherman and his republican colleagues in the Fifty-first congress, and cougratulates the president on selecting Foster for secretary of the treasury. The:platform closes with a denunciation of Governor Campbell and the legislature, charging them with corruption, incompetency, etc. NO JUNTA RULE. The Stat of Olilo Hot to Bo Controlled y Hamilton County Malcontent. Cixcinxati, June 17. Governor Campbell met and addressed his friends in the parlors of the Burnett house this evening. The attendance was large and tne governor was full of fire. He said that a coterie of malcontents in Hamilton county would not and could not control the destinies of the democratic party in the great state of Ohio. Hamilton Aunty was a large county, but a junta of fifty men in it would not bo permittted to thwart the purposes of the democratic party in tho rest of the state of Ohio. The democratic convention, he said, would have 600 delegates in it, and if Hamilton county sent eighty-two or any other number of delegated in excels of its official quota they would not be admitted. He said he would be nominated for governor and elected. Numerously signed protects were read against the recent action of the Hamilton county executive committee in ignoring the state committee in regard to delegates.

ADRIFT IN THE A IK. Two Totally InespertenOad Persona Above thn Clnu1 In n H iUoon. Paris, June 18. The fatal balloon trip, resulting almost to a certainty in the los3 of three lives, occurred at La Villette yesterday afternoon. The balloon, containing a professional aeronaut and two other persons, made an ascent about midday from La Villelte, the aerial venture being watched by crowds of people. When the balloon had reached a hight of not more than sixty feet from the ground tho aeronaut, who had been busily engaged about the outside of the car, wni seen to suddenly lose his balance, make a desperate effort to regain it and then fall whirling to the earth. He was picked up so ternbly injured that it is said there is no prospect of saving his life. In the meantime the balloon and its two remaining occupants, both of whom were utterly ignorant of the manner in which the balloon was han.-tled, mounted up higher and higher into the air, growing to tho sight smaller and smaller until it was finally lost fcight of entirely among the clouds. Tho government Glacials have telegraphed to the prefects iu the outlying departments to make all inquiries possible in reg rd to the fate of the two occupants of tho balloon. Later The balloon is descending at Versailles. THE BOYS DROWNED. Terrlblo Rain Stnrma In Illinois Cans Peoria, 111., June 13. A terrible rain storm swept through the Illinois river valley last night doing great damage to crops, gardens and fences. In Hilton, a small town across the river from Peoria, numerous houses were washed from their foundations. The inhabitants fled scantily clad to the railroad grades and hills. The water rose in the houses at Karmdale, seven miles east, to a depth of three feet and many people narrowly escaped drowning. Herds of cowb, horses and hogs were swept away. Crops throughout a large tract in the valley are utterly ruined. In Copperas creek valley, just across the line in Fulton county, a family named Gray had a cabin. When the flood left the banks the father took his three boys and started to the hills while the mother refused to leave tho houee. When half way across the valley a floating log struck Gray and stunned him. The rushing water drowned the boys, a?ed twelve, eicrht and five. The lather narrowly escaped by clinging to the log. His wife climbed to the roof of the house and was rescued this afternoon. ATTEMPTED POISONING. A Faekag of floor round VThleti Woe Eaten With ratal ReaaU. IIagerstowx, Md., June 19. On Saturday last Daniel Sbiffler, a farmer living at Locust Grove, found in the lane near his house a package of flour and another of coffee. Not finding an owner he gave the articles to a Mrs. McKurren. She used the flour and her entire family were mado very sick. One boy died and another is expected to die. The other members of the family the husband, John McKurren, the wife and two children will recover. A post mortem showed that poison had been mixed with the flour. Two years ago an attempt was made to poison Mr. Ehiffier's stock and a year ago his barns were burned down. The authorities, convinced that tho poisoned flour and coffee were intended for Mr. ShilfWs family, are searching for the miscreant among those known to be at enmity with him. SUFFOCATED BY OAS.

I MORE STRIFE IN HAYTI.

President Hypolite Reported to Be Killed. Groat Excitement at the City of Jacmel Over the Kiliincj of Six Leaders of the People. General Slaughter of Political Prisoner. The Man-of-War Kearsarge Reported to Have Gone to the Island. New York, June 17. The Atlas line passenger steamer Alvo, which arrived here from Haitian ports this 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 their rumored shooting of President Hypolite. This rumor was being freely circulated in Jacmel and outlying towns about Tort 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 of the Alvo, gave the information which follows to a reporter, and showed a paper called the Gleaner, published in Kingston Jamaica, containing news of the outbreaks at Port Au Prince, and of the reported assassination of Hypolite. 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. From what the passengers could learn on the return of the officers, however, the rumor was discredited. Among tho ports at which the Alvo touched before starting finally from this city was Jackmel, 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 Hypolite's order. The news of the troubles at Port Au Prince travels somewhat slowly into the interior towns in Hayti and frequently is unknown in the inland cities for weeks after their occurrence. Consequently the plauhter of 1G0 citizens of Port-au-Prince was not known at Jacmel until several days later, although Jacmel and Port-au-prince are only about fifty miles apart. "When the news did finally come, though the people Jacmel became frantic with excitement and loudly and publicly denounced Ilyppolite and his government There is a small garrison at Jacmel and six of the lea lcrs of the crowd who were the loudest end bitterest in their denunciations of their rule were arrested and thrown into prison. News of the event and of the arrests was immediately carried to Hypollite, and as the sun was rising on the morning of June 5 half a dozen soldiers rode over the bills about the city and came into town on horseback reporting at the garrison. Many of the people of the city were about early and seeing the approach of the visitor circulated the news that the prisoners at the garrison were about to be put to death. Within one hour every man and woman in the city was on thestreet and hundreds surrounded the jail. The six prisoners handcuffed together were then led out of the prison and were marched t. the open square 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 leaving Jacmel the Alvo touched at Xavassa Island between Port Au Princo and Jacmel. There it wns learned that a steamer had touched the day before and had brought in newe of the assassination of Hypolite. This rumor had it that the assassination was the result of a conspiracy formed immediately after the killing 6f Riguad the merchant of Port An Prince. At Navassa, the Alvo met the U. S. man-of-war Kearsarge, and it was there understood that bad news had just been received from Port An Prince and that she was about to start for that place. Minister Hannibal Price denied this evening that President Hypolite had been shot. At the office of the steamehip company it was elated that there waa no truth in the statement of Hypolite's death; that the company had authentic information that Hypolite is alive and had not been shot at. THE GAMUT OF CRIME. A Girl Charged With none Stealing-, Arson and Mnrder. Neweufo, N. Y., June 19. There is a girl in jail at Newburg who, if all the charges aeainst her are true, is the incarnation of viciousnesa and depravity. She is under arrest for horse stealing, but will also be charged with arson and murder. Within three months she is said to have married an old farmer, burned down his houso, mill and barn, roasted his weakminded eon to death in one of her fires, and wound up by running ofT with a Newburg livery team and surrey and trading them for other horses and a wagon. The girl was arrested in Newburg last night on a charge of grand larceny on complaint of Von Allen Whitbeck, a Broadway liveryman, and she then gave the name of Jennie Williamson. In her cell at. the police station last night she ac ted wildly at times and tore up her white apron and hosiery in what seemed to be a frenzy of insanity. THEY WERE "BUND TIGERS". Licenses of Beer Saloons Whlea Dealt to Other Liquors Vetoed. Atlanta, Ga., June 20. Mayor Hemphill has created a big sensation by vetoing all beer licenses. Atlanta issues two kinds of licenses. One to saloonista handling whisky and wines as well as beer this at $1,000 per annum. The other ia for beer saloons alone at $250 per annum. The former are kept in the business part of the city with certain prescribed limits. The beer saloons are in the outskirts and in some instances in resident portions. The mayor's reason for refusing his approval to beer saloons is that these have been to all intents and purposes "blind tigers," and their existence is unfair to the prohibition element and to saloon men who paid the higher license. The announcement has created a great deal of discussion, some favorable to the mayor and soma decidedly the ODooaita.

THROUGH A BRIDGE. Two Faaaeagere Known To Be Killed and II any lnjnred. Chicago, June 17. Information was received early this (Wednesday) morning of a disastious wreck on the Milwaukee & fit. Paul road about half a mile east of Coon Rapids, la. A passenger train, consisting of an engine, a baggage, mail and express cars, several coaches and two sleepers, crashed through the bridge over Coon river. Only the rear sleeper remained on the track. A sudden shock was experienced by the passengers when the tie was struck, after which the coaches ran' about two car lengths, then left the track, and the engine and mail cars went through the bridge, a distance of fifty feet, into the river. The baggage car and smoking car, chair car and one Pullman fell from the side of the trestle, a distance of f ortv feet. The baggageand smokingcars turned upsidedown in tbeir descent; the chair car and forward Pullman lay on their sides. The passengers who were not hurt scrambled out as best they could. As soon as the citizens of that place learned of the accident, they hastened to the spot with lanterns, and for two hours worked in a pouring rain rescuing thope who were unable to get out. Fome of the unfortunates were pinned down by broken timbers, which it waa necessary to chop away to release them. The killed are: EXPKESS MESSENGER BERT OKDERVOID, ot Denver, whose body has not yet been recovered. HENRY CARDON, Terry, Iowa. InjuredJOIIS McCarthy, Dunkirk, N. Y., internally injured and will die.

The passengers were severely shaken up but none of them seriously injured. W hen the passenger train dashed into tho open switch there was a mighty crash of the two great bodies together, the grinding of metal, hissing and escaping eteam and pitiful shrieks of wounded myn. The mail train consisted of a mail car, baa'patre, smoker, ladies' coach and two vestibuled sleepers. The mail car ran on top of the two engines, tearing out the flooring and smashing in the sides. The smoker was thrown oil" the track and the ladies' coach partially derailed. The two e'.eepers remained on the track and escaped serious injury. When the engines met, the shock caused the freight train to break in two and the rear end waa shoved back several hundred yards. Six cars remained at'ached to the freight engine and were smashed to pieces. Three of them telescoped one another the nearest car to the engine being driven clear through the next two. Tnere was nothing left of them but splinters. CUT AND DRIED. The Resignation of President Boars ot tho Now York Life to Bo Declined. New York, June 18. The Herald eays President Beers of the New York life insurance company will resign, but after the inveeti?ation of the company's affairs by the state insurance department the directors will refuse to accept the resignation, and will give Mr. Beers as clean a coat of summer immaculateness so far as the company is concerned as Superintendent Pierce will bestow upon the corporation. President Beers controls sufficient proxies to dictate this course, and it is taken to convince the public that the policvholders have too much confidence in President Beers to permit him to resign. This is what comes of the exposure of the Merzbacher defalcation. Ho, notwithstanding the admirable opportunity the public apparently had to discover the true inwardness of the mysteries of life insurance, the insurance 'lamb will continue to be shorn quite after the same manner as before. The following telegram was last night received from New York by the branch office of the company in this city: la answer to the charges against the company nd ita management it is only necessary to aay that the president, at soon as he learned of them, cabled as from London to request the Insaraneo department to make an examination of the company at once and that this baa been done.

III' imr I) And It Has Probably Come to Stay. The Surplus Has Entirely Disappeared. Pension Payments Are Larger Than the Receipts. News of Stringent Restrictions from Santiago. The Ilarrlsons Go to the Cottage Other Capital Notes. Btoeatt of The Sexttwel, 1 No. 1418 New York-ayr., N. Wm "Washington, D. C. June 18. ) The surplus is gone. The deficiency has arrived. Even the dishonest form of statement adopted by Treasurer Jordan does not avail to show an apparent surplus. The deficiency is here, and there is every reason to believe that it has come to stay. The treasurer's statement, to be issued tomorrow, will show a deficiency of StiOO,000 instead of the usual net cash balance. This is the first time this has occurred since the present form of statement was adopted by Treasurer Jordan. In making this calculation, however, no account is taken of the S22.00O.O0O on deposit in national banks and the 20,000.000 fractional silver in the treasury. The expenditures so far this month have been $S.1S$,2S4 in excess of tho entire revenues of the eovernment during the same period, amounting to $18,221,852. Theee were exceeded by tho pension payments alone, which amounted to 1S,312,1 00. Treasury officials say that the expenditures during the ramainder of the month will be light and that the receipts will be sufficiently heavy to overcome the present excess of expenditures and leave a small surplus for the month. These same official say that the treasurer's statement tomorrow will not include the receipts daring the past two day?,and that if it did an actual surplus of ?2,COO,000 would be shown instead of an apparent deficiency. But all the63 qualifying explanations aro mere balderdash. There is a deficiency and an absolute certainty of its continuance. Secretary Foster has held back appropiiatnr.B for public works amounting to nearly $11,000,000. Several millions appropriated by the first eetsion of the bil.ioa congrers for tho improvement of rivers and harbors have not yet been paid out of the treasury and tha contracts were delayed long euoujjh to prevent the work being compbtd before the nue'.ing of the next congress. If tho contrarts for public works had not thus beeii delayed the deficiency would amount to several millions today. Every means imaginable have been resorted to to prevent a large deiicit. The last congress appropriated $,5'.X),000 to pay the Choctaws and Chickasaw Indians for land. ceded by a formor treaty, but payment has been delayed "although the Indians are clamoring for the money that a republican concress cave them. The tugar-growors j are somewhat apprehensive that when ! thev put in their claims for sugar boun ties there will be no money to pay the millions that will be demanded. The phip subsidy people are beginning to inquire whether they will ever be able to pet back from tho government the money they expended to push their jobs through congress. The fact is patent that Secretary Foster's "billion dollar country" cannot cope with "Keed's billion dollar coDgress." DSPi-ORB THEIR LOSS. Aaaoelatoa of EdwaM A. ZXannoaa Paaa Resolutions on Ills Doth. Bukeau or The Fsntixei. or The Fsntixel, IK-AVE., N. V., V n, D. C, June 18. I No. 141 New York-.-Washington At a special meeting of the recent postgraduate class of the Georgetown university school of law, held last evening at the university lew buildinp, resolutions were passed deploring the death of Mr. Edward A. Hannegan, with whom thoy were associated for two years and who graduated with high honor in 1890. The resolutions eet forth "that by his noble bearing throughout our intimate association with him as classmates he justly won and securely held our highest esteem and admiration; and that, reviewing his life and talents from the time that association beguu, we are assured that by his death we lose one of our number whose modesty and refinement have made him an ornament to society and whose ambition, industry and individuality gave the brightest promise of such brilliant success as would have brought the highest honor to his alma mater and credit to us as his class." The resolutions, signed by Samuel E. Parbv, Charles Condadis, R. Newton Donaldeo'n, W. Mosby Williams and Lewis Pace as committee, will be.transmitted to the bereaved family. WITH A HEINOUS CRIME. Serious Chare; oa Ag-ainat Dr. Hettinger of Indianapolis. The Enshville Graphic of yesterday states that Dr. B. Hettinger of this city has been charged with a felonious assault on Mrs. Lizzie M. Wengle of 0rang9 P. O. on the 3d of May. Last Tuesday Charles E. "Wenger, presumably the husband of Sirs. Wenger, made affidavit to this effect before James M. Ilildreth, clerk of Rush county. Thursday night Hettin ger was arrested and placed under $1,000 bond, George W. Campbell and Y uliam J. llenly going his surety. It is charged that Hettinger committed the deed while treating Mrs. Wenger for cancer. Charles Hettinger, the eon of Dr. Hettinger, was seen by a reporter for The Sentinel last night "It is nothing but a cane of blackmuil,' he said. "Father just telegraphed me tonight that be is all riht. He'll be here tomorrow." Dr. Hettinger ia well known in this city, haying lived here for uianj? years. The liushville paper gives a sensational account of theatlair, and besides publishing the aftidavits in the case charges the doctor with appearing in the court room in an intoxicated condition.

The heaviest rain known for years fell last night all over the state. Along the line of the B. & M., in southern Nebraska and northern Kansas several wash-outs resulted, the most serious in the vicinity of Orleans. Several small wash-outs occurred on the branch line between Orleans and Oxford. Trains on that branch are delayed and some have been abandoned altogether. On the Elkhorn Valley road a washout ocean ed at Battle Creek caused by a waterspout. The creek suddenly rose at 2:30 this morning caused by a water spout, and the sweeping away of several houses and endangering a number of lives. All in danger wera helped out in wagons and no lives were lost. The town ia half overflowed at present and people have to go about in boats. It is thought that the mill dam will go and large darnag-3 has already been done to crops. Several miles of track have been washed out and several bridges, which will delay the trains for two days. At Oakdale the precipitation was five inches. Cellars are filled, side-walks are gone, hundreds of feet af railroad track is removed with one bridge near town. The damage to crops is not known. At Humphrey Birtholomew Bogus, a farmer, was killed by lightning, a!so the team with which he was ploughing. At Palmer the wife and grandmother of Vaclav Lanton were Btrucic by lightning and killed. Kansas City, June 21. A terrible rain and wind storm visited Osceola last night. About six inches of water fell. Great damage was done to growing crops. A passenger train on tbe Kaoeas City. Osceola & Southern road was ditched seven miles from there, killing Engineer Lightner. A man named Crandall, who is thought to have been on the train, is missing. At Emporia three snd onehalf inches fell in two hours. Wheat and corn have suffered considerable damage. TI19 cycione which passed over Arkansas City last night did great damage fifteen miles southeast of there. The dwelling houses of John Bowman, W. Bennett, Samuel Brown, K. Kersey and William Brown were completely wrecked. All the inmates escaped without st-rious injuries except Mrs. Elizabeth Bowman, mother of John Bowman, who was fatally injured. A daughter of Mr. Bennett was in tbe cellar and was completely buried under the debris, but escaped unhurt. At Ft. Scott durim: the storm and overflow last night of Buck run a rescuing party was compelled to abandon th': boat; two of the men saved their lives 'jy catching hold of trees, but the other, John Connalin, aged nineteen, caught bold of a limb, which broke and he was washed away. There is no doubt that he was drowned. A destructive storm occurred in the eastern portion of Crittenden county, Ark. Dwellings and barns were unroofed and blown down, fencing carried away and large patches of timber leveled. Mrs. Sarah Shadrkk was etruck by a flying piece of timber and her neck broken. A etavemaker named Stanley was crushed by falling trees end two boys, sons of a mill man named Hollingsworth, are missin? and it was believed were killed. The storm could not have come at a worse time for the croi-s. " Wheat was just ready for the reaper, "and at some places had already been cut and stacked. Much of the crop where the storm raged is a t "tal loss, and the rest has been badly damaged. Corn had just got a fair start and was in no condition to withstand a heavy storm. Much of it was washed away and much will have to be rep'anted. Comparatively few reports have been received from the country districts where the storms occurred end a full estimate of the damage to crops cannot bo made. From the facts at hand, however, it is estimated that the total will not fall short of a full half million dollars. Owensbof.o, Ky., Jun3 20. A storm of wind and rain, the heaviest since the tornado of March, 190, visited this city this morning.

TO TOE DEATH. A Black Montague-Capulet Feud Is Ended. Four Men Enter the Ring With Knives. Three Are Dead, Hacked Beyond Recognition. Maddened by Fain the Fourth Commits Suicide. The Battle Witnessed hy 6 Large Crowd of Natives. Nrw York, June 18. The steamship South Portland of the Weasels line arrived from Jamaica ports this afternoon. Chief Mate J. B. Lowell told the following tale : On the afternoon of June 12 the Portland touched at Port Marie. Mate Lowell was sent on shore to get the mails. On his way to the postofSce he came across a crowd of blacks on the village green. There must have been at least 500 of them, and when ?ir. Lowell inquired what the row was alout they informed him that a battle royal waajusl about to begin. Four coolies, all natives of the town, had become involved in a sort of Montague-Capulet controversy, and each of them had arrived at the conclusion that Port Marie and this planet generally was altogether too good a place to harbor the other three any longer. So they had mutually decided to fight to the death. In the center of the green an inclosure had been roped off, and inside of it, at each corner, stood one of the four contestants. They were stripped to the waist and each man grasped in his right hand a knife with a blade seven inches long. For a moment the men stood glaring at each other, then the word was given and the fight beg.m. It was a case of every man for hitnseli with a vengeance. Mate Lowell says that without exception it was the most fearful sight he ever saw. In five minutes it was all over. When the police arrived upon the scene three bodies hacked almost beyond recognition lay inside the ropes. The fourth man was so crazed by his wounds that before the police could lay hands on him he drove his own knife through his heart. AVARICIOUS BARILLAS.
