IT IS BOIES

Renominated for Governor by Acclamation. He Accepts the Command of His Party. A STRONG PLATFORM Denouncing th Iniquities of the Sherman Law And the Worse Iniquities of the McKinley Law. The Republican Vmrtr nifKhtlr "eld Responsible for the Prcurnt Umies Depression Full Confidence Eiprfiurd In Pretldrnt Cleveland Non-Partisan Control of the UeneTOlent Institutions. DES MOINES, la., Aug. 23.The democratic state convention was called to order at 10:30 this morning by Chairman Fullen of the state central committee. After the reading of the call of the convention the Rev. Howard Johneon of the presbyterian church offered prayer. Chairman Fullen Introduced Temporary Chairman Vollner of Davenport, who said: 'Gentlemen of the Convention We have met at a critical time. Our country and our party have alike reached a crisis In their affairs. From all parts of the land comes the wail of financial distress. The whirling wheels and ringing hammers of industry no longer Join In the glad music of prosperity. A spirit of dread and anxiety floats like a threatening cloud over all the marts of trade end the ban of witchcraft serins to have palsied the arm of public works. Waving fields and bursting granaries attest the kindness of Providence, but they condemn the weakness and folly of man, whose governmental policy compels thousands to want in the presence of untold riches, since the absence of a medium of exchange prevents the willing, all-supporting tiller of the soil, from bringing to the mouth of the consumer the superabundance of food which he has again received from nature's horn of plenty. "Meanwhile, the army of the discontented unemployed swarms over the land. Meanwhile, up and down the highways In their midst, is the republican pharisee, with the assurance of inbred hypocrisy, pointing his fingers at u3 and our party as the authors of this widespread misery. It is high time here in Iowa, my fellow-democrats, that we repudiate this foul slander and stamp the life out of this crawling serpent of republican deception. We live. It is true, under a democratic administration, both Etate and national. But both in state and nation we are cursed by republican laws. A Result of MxKlnleylam. "Let us not forget, permit the people to forget, that we still have that blessed McKinley bill' that latest, but most developed offshoot of the poisonous plant, protection. Let us not forget, nor permit congress to forget, the unanswerable thesis of sound political economy, that our Industries can never get on a healthy, natural basis until this odious weed is destroyed, root and branch. Panics are the necessary outgrowth and never-falling accompaniments of this artificial system, which stimulates growth abnormally in certain directions, while It prevents expansions In others, and finally compels the pampered favorites to choke in their own slime in the ever-recurring spasms of overproduction. It is an attempt on the part o congressional wlseaoits, by means of the taxing power, to prescribe the conditions on which their fellowmen shall engage in productive industry, assuming to themselves the power of omniscience required to determine the needs and wants of the Innumerable industries of a great nation like this; whereas, the recent experience of several of tham. and particularly of a late secretary of the treasury, seems to indicate that the great high priests of protection do not know enough to run their own business, much less to regulate that of their neighbors. "Let us not forget especially that that cowardly makeshift, denounced by our national platform last year, the Sherman bill, discredited now by its own author, still stands upon our statute books. Like Esau, John Sherman sold his birthright for a mess of potttage when he lent his ram to this unprincipled sell-out; when, to serve the truckling demagogism of his party, he threw to the winds the greatest financiering reputation of the age in a last Ineffectual attempt to capture votes for the republican ticket by saving Harrison from the unpleasant necessity cf vetoing a bill for the free coinage of silver. Ills name will go down to posterity linked with a law upheld by none, condemned by all, the great and sufficient cause of our present financial distress. "Often has the unvarnished demagogIsm in our press or public men furnished a text for the disciples of monarchy on the Inherent Impossibility of successful self-government, but never has this been more diFgraceful and unblushing, more rank and nauseating In Ignorance, gall and assumption than last week's attempt of the defeated and discredited leaders of the republican party In Iowa to charge the present administration and the democratic party with being the cause of our financial trouble, and thus to pass off on us the paternity of that bastard child, whom they themselves have conceived on the gross body of monopoly and the money power. One loses patience with these conscienceless demagogues and superlative sapheads, who. with an air of measureless superiority, In one breath deplorlngly say, 'I told you so.' and in the next, try to poison the ear of an alarmed public

1 Im

against all honest efforts of the administration to prevent panic and allay distrust. No Democratic Differences. "Temporarily thero may be petty bickerings and Jealousies arising out. of the distribution of patronage, or perhaps from the lack of such distribution; but the 'hungry hogs are not numerous enough in the ranks of the grand democracy of Iowa to impede its triumphant course on the patii of reform. Do not. therefore, be tempted into rank idolatry before either golden calf or sliver fetish; do not become involved in fratricidal strife over the spoils, which will finally be equitably distributed: but down on your knees, you sinners all, before the pure and undented altar of genuine democracy, where alone you may find saving grace. "In the campaign before us state issues and Mate Issues only can t settled. But in state as In nation we find that the will of the people, repeatedly expressed in favor of a change in our laws, is still unrealized; and while the world has admirably behe'.d the triumphant election and re-election of our grand old man. Horace Boies, as governor of Iowa, we are still blessed with a set of blue laws, that sucgest the ignorant intolerance of the dark ages rather than the broad-minded liberalism of these latter days of the nineteenth century. Growing intemperance, disrespect for law. Increase of the costs of criminal prosecution, decrease of municipal revenues, decrease of Immigration, increase of emigration, espionage and blackmail, eonsplrcy. riot and civil discord, resulting from fanatical persecution, all the inherent evils of tyrannical paternalism, aro weighing heavily on this state. The Republican Position. "And behold the attitude of those responsible for this condition of affairs. The Indecent contortions of the republican party of Iowa on thl3 great issue, executing a veritable dance du ventre on the slippery platform built in this city one week ago, will soon gain for Iowa the name of the Midway Plaisance of American politics, where, with much that Is good, noble and grand, are found some of the strai.gest freaks and disgusting monstrosities to be found anywhere among the higher anthropoids. Crafty leaders, forcing down the throats of the bigoted rank and file of their party the ill-tasting decoction brewed at the secretion conclaves held last fall in the river counties of the state, where Brother Blythe and Brother McFarland impersonated the witches in 'Macbeth, and dancing round the fiery cauldron, ln the poisoned entrails threw to produce that wicked charm that was worked on the republican state convention of last week. "But await the sequel. When the liberal republican 'Maclieth meets the orthodox prohibition 'Macduff' on the bloody field at Dunslnane this fall I fear that the first 'Mac will fall before the second In the most approved Shakspearian manner. "We have this to say to conscientious prohibitionists: 'If. as you profess, prohibition is a matter of controlling principle with you, how can you support a party that has deliberately betrayed your cause in obedience to a corrupt bargain made with your enemies last fall?' "We have this to say to the so-called liberal republicans of Iowa: 'If you mean what you say. if you earnestly desire to rid the state of the blighting curse of prohibition, you should not try. In the words of Abraham Lincoln, to build a house divided against itself, half slave and half free. "Shades of Janus, of ancient Goth, turn both thy faces on the temple walls and let them burn with shame, for In undisguised two-facedness you are simply not in It with our Iowa republicans." Mr. Vollmer's speech was frequently aprlauded. In closing, a reference to Governor Boies as a possible candidate for re-election called out a grent demonstration. At the conclusion of the speech the convention took a recess to give the committees an opportunity to prepare their reports. The OrKiinlzntioii. Just as the convention was called to order for the afternoon session a picture of Horace Boies was dropped over the head of the chairman. It was greeted with cheers. The committee on permanent organization reported as follows: For chairman, Cato Sells of Benton county; secretary, Frank I. Allen of Audubon; reading clerk. John S. Gillespie of Des Moines. The committee recommended that all nominating speeches be limited to five minutes and that the rules of the fifty-second congress govern the convention. The report was adopted. Chairman Sells read a speech declaring that the republican party, from being a party of principle, was now without principles, Judging from the recent platform. He said the republican party, in the interest of party success, Is willing to restore the saloon to Iowa. It advocates the saloon as a matter of expediency, while the democratic party does so from principle. He said the republicans of Iowa are now trying to carry out the same deception practiced by the republicans In congress when they enacted the Sherman law, which he declared is a republican measure. He Baid the hard times are due to republican maladministration. Mr. Bells continuing, said the democrats were here today to restore confidence. He said the first remedy for prohibition Is repeal, the first remedy for the Industrial evils is the repeal of the McKinley bill and the first remedy for the financial stringency the repeal of the Sherman act. In closing he hoped the deliberations today would hasten the repeal of all three obnoxious measures.

THE PLATFORM. A Ringing Declaration of True Demon-n tic Principles. The report of the committee on resolutions was now called in order, but the committee not being ready the audience called for John P. Irish, formerly of Iowa but now of California, who was seated on the platform. Mr. Irish responded with an extended speech on oldtime and modern democracy. While Mr. Irish was speaking the committee on resolutions entered and Chairman Couch read the following report, which wag unanimously adopted: The administration of Horace Boles as governor of Iowa Lir the four years last past has been such as to fully meet the expectations and hopes of the people. It has been characterized by wise statesmalship. strict economy and scrupulous Integrity, rarely equaled and never surpassed in the history of the state. We declare our confidence In the administration of Orover Cleveland, marked as it 1 by a comprehensive understanding of all the interests and a sincere regard for the demands of the people. W'e have faith In his wisdom, honesty and ability to lead the country out of the bogs Into which it Is plunged by corrupt class legislation of the republican party and to bring about an era of national and Individual prosperity. The present unfortunate financial stringency is the direct legacy of a republican administration. It Is the logical result of the McKinley tariff, of the Snerman law. of fostering trusts, of legislation for the avowed benefit of classes against the masses, of preference of the rich over the poor In legislation, and of corruption, combination and bossism. It Is these things which have combined to shake credit, to foment distrust, to paralyze business and to create panic. The attempt to shift the responsibility for the present unfortunate state of affairs upon the democratic administration, which has been In place less than six months, is futile and absurd. Four years ago a democratic administration left to its successor a surplus of 100.Ooo.uOO. The republican administration left the present financial trouble among the people and an empty treasury. Taxation of the whole people for the benefit of the few is wrong In principle and dishonest In . application. We denounce this policy and reiterate our devotion to the cause of tariff reform set forth in the platform adopted by the democratic national convention at Chicago In ,And we urge congress to give the country early relief, having In view a permanent, stable, honest and equitable revenue system. The Sherman tiw, We denounce the republican legislation known as the Sherman act of 18Ü0 as a coward'y make-shift which has brought the present financial perils and the troubles upon us and demand the immediate

repeal of the silver purchase clause thereof and, with the national democratic conven tion of 1S02, we hold to the use of both gold and silver without discriminating against either metal or charge for mintage. But the dollar unit of coinage of both metals must be of equal Intrinsic and exchangeable value, or be adjusted through international agreement or by such safeguards of legislation as shall Insure the maintenance of the parity of the two metals and the equal power of every dollar at all times In the markets a. ' In the payment of debts. And we d n tnd that all paper currency shall be ke, ' at par with and redeemable In such coin. We "Insist upon the policy as especially necessary for the protection of the fanners and laboring classes, the first and most defenseless victims of unstable money and fluctuating currency. Pending a final settlement and adjustment of the monetary question, we express full faith in the wisdom of the present democratic congress to exact such legislation as will best meet the requirements of the country. We favor Just and liberal pensions to deserving veterans, and in their interest we urge that the names of all fraudulent ani illegal pensioners be eliminated from the rolls, but the pension of no worthy soidier should be disturbed. As to Prohibition. We demand, in the interest of true temperance, the passage of a carefully guarded license tax law which shall provide for the issuance of license in towns, townships and municipal corporations of the state by a vote of the people of such corporations and which shall provide that for each license an annual tax of $300 be paid into the county treasury and such further tax as the town, township or municipal corporation shall provide; the procee'ds thereof to go to the use of such municipalities. And as a partial reparation for the unjust confiscation of private property caused by the prohibitory law, we favor such legislation as will permit the manutacture of spirltous, vinous and malt liquors within the state, thereby giving to our own people at least equal rights In this respect with the manufacturers of other states. Taxation. We believe the burden of taxation should be borne equally by every species of property, and favor such changes in our existing laws as will insure the full, fair and equal assessment and taxation of all the property in the state of every kind and character, after allowing exemptions and exceptions fixed by law. and we demaud strict economy and honesty In the expenditure of all public money taken from the substance of the people by public taxation. We affirm our adherence to the doctrine of control and regulation of railroads as now enacted into the law, and favor such changes as experience may show to be necessary to protect the people from evasions of law and extortions through imperfections of the law and as will establish Just and equitable relations between the people and railway corporations in all travel over railways. Opposed to Trnnli. We reiterate our unflinching opposition to monopolies and trusts and call for enactments which will abolish combines by which excessive telephone, telegraph and insurance charges and other like extortions are maintained. We favor such legislation as will secure to the coal miners of this state full compensation for their labor and bi-weekly payment of their earnings. We favor the estaMlshment by law of a free public employment ofTice In connection with the bureau of labor statistics. Non-Pnrtlnnn Institntiona. Our ftate institutions represent many millions of capital drawn from the pockets of our people: their support absorbs annually two-thirds of all the revenues of the state. They are governed by separate and distinct boards of trustees and oftlcers, usually. If not always, selected in the interest of the political party in power. No one of these boards has any knowledge whatever of the wants of a single Institution other than that which it represents and each is ever intent upon securing the largest possible share for Its ,wn use of the common fund from which all most be supported. We demand the abandonment of this wasteful and unbuslness-llke system and the substitution therefor of a single non-inirtisun boar 1 of control which can intelligently comprehend the wants of each and economically and justly apportion anwnc the whole that which the state can afford to give.

THE STATE TICKET. Governor Holes Renomlnii ted The Other Officers Valued. Nominating speeches for governor were the next thing on the program. After some delay Senator W. W. Dodge of Burlington came forward and placed in nomination Governor Boles amid great applause. Governor Boies was renominated by acclamation and a committee was ippointed to escort him to the convention hall. Lieutenant-Governor Bestow was placed In renoniination. Col John MoKes of Davis county nominated G. B. McFall of Oskalocsa. McFall's nomination was seconded by Senator Perry. An effort made to nominate Bestow by acclamation failed at this point. A ballot taken on lieutenant-governor resulted 632 for Bestow and 442 for McFall. Bestow was declared nominated. For Judge of the supreme court a long list of candidates was placed In nomination. John Cloggett was nominated on the second ballot. For railroad commissioner ex-Congressman Tom Bowman was nominated by acclamation. J. B. Kencepfler of Allamake county was renominated by acclamation for superintendent of state Instruction, after which the convention adjourned. Before adjournment Governor Boies was escorted to the platform. He said: "When a few weeks ago I wrote a letter to the chairman of the state committee declining renominatlon I expressed my honest wishes and honest convictions upon that subject. But I am only one of a great political party. Your action today comes to me as a command from a party that 1 am bound to obey. I accept the nomination and I promise to use my every effort to make it successful." Scientists May 1)1 tier As to the causes of rheumatism, but there is no difference of opinion among them as to the danger which attends It, the symptoms by which it manifests Itself, and the difficulty of dislodging It In Its chronic stage. Several mineral and vegetable poisons are prescribed for it, but oone of these has been shown by experience to possess the same efficacy as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. This benlcn specific depurates the blood by promoting vigorous action of the kidneys, which strain from the blood as It passes through them the rheumatic virus when it exists in the system. 1'hysicians of eminence testify to the value of the Bitters in rheumatism, and the professional opinions regarding it are borne out and corroborated by ample popular evidence. The Bitters remedy chills and fever, liver complaint, dyspepsia and constipation. Cut this out and send to THE Scntby. Postoffico County.

HAY FIELDS AXD PASTIRE LANDS AFIRE A EAR VALPARAISO, Sparks from Locomotives Do Much Mischief A Wild Man Located in Grant Connty She Finds Her Recreant IlnatMtnd Bartholomew to the Front iTlth a White Cap Outrageother. State Mews. VALPARAISO. Aug. 24. Special. A serious fire raged all yesterday afternoon east of here on the line of the Ft. Wayne road. Sparks from a passenger engine set fire to hay fields and pastures, driving the workmen and teams out, and before the blaze was extinguished it had swept everything for several miles. Fifteen head of fat cattle were burned to death In one field before they could be driven out. The loss will be about six thou-and dollars. Lightning this evening struck a large barn belonging to William Hicks, which was burned, together with five head of horses, two cows, several wagons, buggies and farming Implements, thirty tons of hay and nearly one thousand bushels of wheat. Loss, about thirtyfive hundred dollars; insured in the Ohio Farmers'. PERU. Aug. 24. Special. Sparks from a passing Wabash locomotive yesterday evening set fire to fields near this city, and farmers had great difficulty in saving their houses and barns from destruction. The fire was not checked until it had spread a mile or more from the starting point. The loss will aggregate many thousand dollars. BOURBON. Aug. 24. Special. The large new brick barn belonging to Dwight Dickinson burned this forenoon, taking with it thirty tons of hay. 150 bushels of grain and all of his farming implements, among which was a new binder. The fire was caused by sparks from an engine setting the grass and fence ablaze. Loss, 53.000; partly insured. A VERY QUEER SPECIMEX. Two Marlon Citizens Find n I'nlqne Creature. MARION. Aug. 27. Special. Charles Mildren and Claude Matthews, Jr., while walking along the river yesterday came across a Queer-looking specimen of humanity. Apparently he was a man of sixty years, with a yellowish-white beard, fully three feet in length, and matted hair of the same color, which reached far below his she-aiders. He was clothed in garments made of some sort of leather, sewed with a rough stitch, which may have been the sinews of some wild beast. Ills feet being bare displayed toe nails an Inch In length, and his hands had the appearance of a vulture's talons. It was noticed that in his hands he held a long pole, and as they gazed upon him they were astonished to see him give a quick pull with the pole, pulling in a seine, out of the meshes of which he took a large-sized bass. In a whispered conversation Matthews and Mildren decided to approach the man and find out if possible, his identity. Arising from a stooping posture they started forward, but. had not taken over two steps when the creature bounded to his feet. and, with lightning rapidity, dashed Into the surrounding foliage, and In an instant was lost to the view of the astonished hunters. Approaching the . spot which he had ! just vacated they found the pole with which he had t-en fishing, on the end of which was attached a net spread In an ingenious manner and made of the fibers of bark. On relating their experience to several farmers while en route for home they found that the creature was not exactly a stranger In the neighborhood, as he had been seen on several differen occasions. A posse was organized and an effort made to capture the wild man, but the effort was unsuccessful. The story Is verified by at least a dozen good farmers: consequently, we have no reason to doubt the truth of the strange Incident. Messrs, Matthews and Mildren have left their discovery in Will Guthrie's clothing store, where it is the object of great curiosity to all observers. HOW SHE FOUND HIM. Mrs. James Voss Discovers Her Truant Husband at Illuffton. BLUFFTON, Aug. 27. Special. Three weeks ago a stranger called at the creamery and asked the manager. Lewis Berlin, for a drink of buttermilk. The request was granted and he drank quite freely. He came and went for two or three days In this way. He was reticent as to the past, and not being able to ascertain his name Berlin called him "McGlnty," to which name he made no objections, consequently it remained so during his stay. He asked Dew one day if h would give him pome dinner, aa he had had nothing but buttermilk for three days. For several days afterward Lew allowsd McGlnty to share his supplies on the table. He also furnished him work for some ten days. "McGlnty" made a small amount of work go a long way, and Lew, after ten days' trial, paid him a dollar to quit. The dollar an4 "McGI-.tv" disappeared for a few days, but the latter finally returned to beg for but'.ermillc and bread from his friends. He wan kindly taken in again by th; generous-hearted Lew. Today he was fitting on one of the front steps of the creamery building, when a lady of fine appearance, accompanied by a little girl, approached from the west. Catching sight of McOlntv. she exclaimed: "That's the man I am after." "McGlnty," springing to his feet, exclaimed: "Jujt wait until I get my coat," and away he went captive. Lew SENTINEL, Indianapolis, Ind State Stato to this

was indeed surprised as well as chocked to see his "McGlnty" captured and carried away In broad daylight. It was Mrs. Jamei C. Voss of Bloomington, Ind. She had found out where her husband. "Me-JSnty," was located from Marshal Haroauh, and came prepared to take the truant home. He is a stone-cutter by trade, a fine workman, and had been working at Hartford City.

CRUEL, "WHITE CAPS. A Man and Ills Wife Horribly Beaten In. Bartholomew. COLUMBUS, Aug. 23. Special. Twelve miles back in the hlll3, near Waymansville, Monday night eight men, with faces blackened, went to the residence of Andy Schräder and covered him with revolvers. A part of the gang held him and whipped him with hickory switches, while others pulled his wife out of doors, and, denuding her, whipped her in a horrible manner, leaving her bleeding from head to foot. She claims to have .recognized three of the parties as her neighbors, but refused to name them. Schräder and his wife are respectable, but their domestic relations are not pleasant. Mrs. Schrader's wounds were so severe on Tuesday that she was unable to leave her home until late in the evening, when she came to Waymansville to her physician, who rendered her what relief he could. All the excuse the midnight assailants offered was that she was quarrelsome and hard to. get along with in the neighborhood. This was news to her, as no one nad before cautioned her regarding her obnoxious temper or disposition. While in the presence of her physician and a number of citizens of Waymansville Mrs. Schräder accused her husband with having a. few weeks before unmercifully beaten her. and this caused a surprise as well as did the account of the unmerciful whipping she received. She also stated that her husband did not think she had at all times treated his father in the proper manner. There is another secret about the affair, which, if true, casts discredit on certain parties. This will possibly come out in the courts in the future, as Mrs. Schräder claims to know two of the parties, and says that she will prosecute them at the coming term of court. This the husband opposes, but the wife will push the matter as soon as she is able to come to the city, when more of the facts will be ascertained. GOOD HIGHWAYS. Jackson Will Have Some of the Best Roads In the State. SEYMOUR, Aug. 23. Special.

The extreme drought from which this vicinity has been suffering sinace about the middle of June, still continues and there Is no sign of rain. Corn and all garden vegetables have been ruined and even copious showers now would do but little good In that direction.

Peep into your

and see what they're washing and cleaning with. Probably you think its Pearline. No doubt you've told your servants to use it, and think that they're doing so. But look at the front of the package for yourself, and see that it's the genuine article. A house-to-house canvass discloses the fact that many women think they

are

usin, or nave usea, jreanine,

when an examination of the package proves the stuff to be some of the "same as" or "as good as, " which peddlers, unscrupulous grocers and prize-givers are trying to work off upon a long-suffering public If it's these imitations that you're

using, ten to one you're not enthusiastic about Washing Compounds ; you couldn't be. Ciö r Peddlers and some unscrupulous procers will tell yoa " this is as good as" OCllLi or "the same as Pearline." IT'S FALSE Pearlir.e is never peddled, f T) I and if your grocer sends you something in place of Pearline, be " JDciClC honest send it batk. 39 JAMES PYLE, New York.

Xot Knowing She Was Dead a Man. Comes to Marry Her. COLUMBUS, Aug. 24. Special. Another chapter in the recent suicide case of Miss Rettie Lacy has been disclosed. In the note left by the dead girl It was apparent she had two lovers Jeff Thompson and Will McCain. The letter also betrayed the fact that Jeff was the favorite. It was hard to form any conclusion, though, by reading the letter as to why she would commtt suicide. Nor does the chapter to follow now throw any additional light on the mysterious affair. Jeff Thompson came back to this city after the girl's death, but said he did not consider himself a lover of hers. Monday McCain arrived here from Illinois, where he has been engaged farming for two years past, and said that he had come to marry the girl, and had not heard of her death until he arrived here. He visited the girl's family Monday and Tuesday, and yesterday ate dinner with them. He has a brother living over in East Columbus, and visited him, and last night he went to Freetown to visit his parents. He stated that he had not seen his affianced for two years and that he wrote her some days ago as to his coming and also as to his intentions and plansi Mrs. Lacy, the girl's mother, says Rettie had been eagerly looking for a letter from 'McCain for three or four mornings past, and on the fatal morning she met the mail-carrier, and when she learned another disappointment awaited her she turned and went back into the house, and said, "Shoot the luck." She then set down and penned the note that was found after her death. Nobody Knows What I suffered for years with those terrible racking sick headaches.

THREE KILLED IN A RIOT. WAR WAGES FOR IIOl'RS IX A PEXXSVLVAMA TOWN. Villagers Tear l"p a- Railroad Traelc and Hessians Employed by the Com pany Shoot Them Down with Winclirslers An Eirltrd I'opalacr. GILBERTON, Pa., Aug. 22. The tearing up of the Schuylkill traction company's tracks here last night by th borough officials resulted most disastrously. When the company officials heard of the action of the Gilberton people they immediately sent a force of men to try and effect an amicable settlement. When the break In the road was reached President R. E. Jones of the traction company, with Richard Amour of Shenandoah, chief of the company's police, got off the car and In a fiw moments had effected a settlement and the work of tearing up tracks was stopped. In the car were a number of men taken on at GIrardville, members of the national guard, who had with them rifles belonging to the company. While the 1 allway officials were engaged in conversing with the borough officers some of the crowd taunted the men on board th car and called out "GIrardville militia, A man named Briggs of GIrardville stepped out and said: "Here we are." Accompanying his salution with an oath and leveling his rifle he fired into the crowd, killing Richard Palffltt. aged twenty-five, single, a spectator. Chief Amour and President Jones had settled the trouble and Briggs shot over Amour's shoulder. This immediately enraged the peopl and stones were fired; shots from the car became general, and for & while a most terrific battle ensued. Chief Amour tried to subdue the trouble and while in the act of stopping his men was shot in the breast and died this afternoon. It is supposed he was shot by one of his own men. The battle raged for an hour or mora until the cooler-headed people of Gilberton prevailed upon the crowd to disperse and the dead and injured were looked alter. In addition to Paiffltt. William Hughes, aged nineteen, an onlooker, was fchot and instantly killed; Richard Connors was ehot In the hand and leg. not dangerous; Evan David received a shot in the leg which will have to be amputated. James Hullihan had bis skull fractured by a stone and may die. Briggs, who started the riot, was 6hot by a companion accidentally, and received a scalp wound, and was wounded in the leg. When the trouble had quiet down Briggs escaped and, running toward Mahoney Plne. hid In a barn, but was captured and together with Arthur Wiville, also a member of the Girardville militia, was taken to the pottsville Jail. The people about Gilberton were Infuriated at the action of the railway men, none of whom, they claim, were officials of the company. Some .vere employes and others were outsiders picked up solely for the purpose of liphting. This is shown In the fact that ritles were borrowed from members of the GIrardville militia. Everything was quieted down when the railroad's force was withdrawn and outside of an excited populace talking over the disturbance, nothing has transpired to cause any repetition of the trouble. Sheriff Wall of Schuylkill county Is now In possession of the tracks to prevent any disturbance which might arise tonight. "I am so nervous" before taking Hood's Sarsaparilla.
