DIED FOR LOVE, A Dove Lorn Couple at Dallas, Texas,Choose Death Together Rather Than Separation In Dire—The Revolver Route Choosen, and Proves Speedy and Effective. Dallas, Tax., September 28. A sad'y romantic tragedy came to light here yesterday that was flrst shrouded in mystery, bnt Investigation by reporters uncovered the whole affair. The flrst knowledge of the tragedy was obtained through the discovery In the woods, just bey >nd the corporation limits on the West fork of Trinitv River, of the dead bodies . of two persons. The victims, when flrst discovered, lay tide by side, the man’s arms extended and partly lying on that of his love, as if >n the agonies of death, he bad sought to embrace her in his convulsive grasp. She was apparently aged about eighteen, wore a diamond broach and was dressed with exquisite taste, which bore no oat ward evidence of poverty; he was apparently a few years her seni r. Between them lay a revolver with two chambers empty, telling the story of the murder and snicide. When discovered both were dead but their bodies were not yet cold. They left a sera . of a paper that showed their p anning and execution of this terrible deed had been deliberate, and that it was the old, old story of love, despair and death rather than separation. The scrap of paper contained the following, written in a plain, round hand: “As we can not be united in life, we will be i > d ath. George Foxstrick, Annie Maui.or.” This note showed plainly the cause and gave the reporters a c ew as to the Identity of the parties, which was successfully followed.

A SHORT CUT HOME

By Which a Couple of Michigan City Lumber Handlers found Their Way Into the Great BeTond—The Reckless Use of a Frail Ferry Ends Up a Week’s Work Disastrously. Michigan Citt, Ihd., September 28. A calamity, the results of which are not yet known, happened in this Utylast evening. The Franklin Street Ferry, which is a trail boat not larger than a common skiff, plies between the extensive lumber yards on the shore of the lake and the main portion of the c ty. The distance across the harbor is about 200 feet a d the water is sixteen feet deep. The ferry wa worked by a long chain which passed through a set of pullies and kept the boat in an upright position. The boat has a capacity of only about twenty passengers, but the hundreds of laborers from the yards have been in the habit of crowding into it pell mell. Frequently it has been loaded to the water’s edge, but so long as no accident occurred, the practice was continued. Last evening the boat was loaded with between thirty and forty passengers. Before she left the dock the chain broke and the unsteady movement of the vessel frightened the men who rushed from side t > side, finally capsizing her. The entire party were thrown into the wa er, but it was supposed all were rescued by the yawi boats in the vicinity. Flanks and timber were thrown to the struggling men, and thus they were supported until tasen from the water. Each one immediately rushed for his home and there were no means of knowing whether any one had been drowned until later, when parents and friends, frantic with grief, came running to the scene, mak ng inquiries for missing ones. It then became apparent that some were lost. Searching parties were set to work dragging the river, and their labors were soon rewarded by the finding of two bodies. The first was that of Charles Bebbeck, an unmarried laborer twenty-four years old. The other body has not been identified. None of the dock men knew him, and the inference is that he was a stranger looking for work, and that he unfortunately took passage on the boat. The harbor was lighted up with many fires all night while the search was being kept up.

On reaching the guide’s house he was in ormcd of Miss Welton’s death. The liveryman drove rapidly up the tratl five miles, where he met men with the body which was found a mile further on. It was then in the morning, six h urs from the time the guide says he left the lady. R-sldents of the Peak discredited the guide’s story, and charged him with criminal cowardice, possibly responsible for the lady’s death.

The farmers in the neighborhood where Cisco lived are determined to avenge his death. Gambling or Speculation? Baltimore, Md„ September 26. - In the case of the State against James A Gamble for pool-selling, the jury brought in a sealed verdict in favor of plaintiff. The State claimed that under the law of Maryland pool-selling on horse races was gambling. The defense made was that betting on a horse race was not a game of chance, but speculation on the merits of the horse, and was, therefore, as legitimate as speculating in wheat. This decision will close the pool-rooms in this city, unlo s the decision be reversed by the Coart of Appeals. Somawhat Singular. London, Ont., September *>.

EX-GOV. HENDRICKS. Doing Yeoman Service in Behalf of Democracy. - 3 rh« Next Vice-President Makes a Notable Speech at Mancie—A Terrific Arraignment of Republican Policies and Methods* At Mancie, Ind., on September 6, ExGovernor Hendricks delivered an interesting address to an immense audience. Ln the coarse of his speech he said: It Is now twenty-five yean that the Republican party baa-controlled the administrative and executive affairsof this country, and it is of the first importance that you and 1 should consider the question whether that is as Ions as one set of men ought to continue in absolute control. In other words, the question is before us: Ought not there to be a change? That is toe first question that strikes your attention and mine. How much has transpired since the Republican party came into power— and 1 do not choose to include in that period the period of the war? I ask your attention only for the last nineteen-yeara during which that party has controlled the administrative and executive ail airs of the country. 1 could not hnd figures or words to express to you the enormous sums of money that have been collected and the enormous sums of mouoy that have been paid out. 1 will refer by way of illustration only to one year, the last year as reported by the Secretary of the Treasury. The collections and exiienditures amounted to £>63,100,(100. The history of those transactions is found in many thousand volumes and they were recorded by many thousand men— men belonging to one party only. No Democrats have been allowed to participate in any ot the affairs of the country. 1 speak in substance. An occasional Democrat may have been allowed an office, but for the greatpurposes of administering the affairs of the Government the Democrats hare been excluded, and to yon men the question is presented now. Ought there not to be a change? Who knows what is wrong in the books? Shall they be opened? Shall there be an optHirtunity for us men to know a hat has been wrong in the records of the country, so that we may know whether it is well or ill witn the country? May 1 ask your attention to another illustration on this subject? 1 do not claim that one political party, in the first place, in its organization is probably any more honest than the other, if we had no political parlies in the country, and were going to establish two po-. litical parties, and were to run a line through this crowd, and the men on that side were to be of one party and the men on this side oil the other party, the chances are there would be just as many honest men on one side as on the other, and hr many rogues on one side, perhaps, as on the other. But take another step in this thought. Suppose this party comes into power and it becomes established that it is going to return to power for twenty years, have the control of the offices, the control of the money, nnd of the country. Don't you see that all the rogues on this side would gradually ooine over and join the strong tide? isn’t that human nature? And more than that—don’t you know as they come over they would gradually push honest men on this side back and hack until they would take control of the dominant party themselves? To a very large extent that would prove to bo the human nature of the case. Without discussing the question whether the Republican party has been guilty of a great fraud, for I leave that to vour own reflections, 1 assume the ground that when a party has been in power exclusively, not allowing the other party to participate in the affairs of the Government for a long period of time, there ought to be a change that the people may come to know with some degree of certainty how it is with their affairs Lories- of “ We will have it this fall.”] Y es, sir, you are going to bare it this fall.” 1 don’t expect, gentlemen, that all the men in office will be turned out. 1 do not desire that where a Republican, governed by his conscientious convictions, has been in office and has proven himself to be atrue and honest man in the administration of that office, I do not ask that he shall be turned out. But I ask that honest men shall be placed in office sufficiently numerous to give the people of this country information in regard to their affairs.

I hare one step further to go in this argument. I am trying to establish the proposi tion that there ought now to be a change. I do not know why the Republicans for the last nineteen years hare said to every Democrat, you shall have no position in the control of the affairs of the Government. They have seen fit to occupy that position, a cruel, proscriptive policy, excluding every man that did not agree with them, and what do you think ot it, my countrymen? Shall it be continued any longer? (Cries of “No I”) To what condition have we come?” I reter now to the Statement made by Mr. Calkins, Republican candidate tor Governor, in a speech at Richmond a few weeks ago. He said we now have Do you know He said that by f403.OOU.OJO in the Treasury. how he came to say that? _ way of braggadocio—by way of a taunt to the Democrats. He said the Republican party When it came into power found an empty Treasury, and now it has *430,000.030 in the Treasury. Do you want to hear me express my opinion of what la a fortu5810 condition, of the country. Well, it I not m having a Treasury overflowing. It is hot in the collection from the people of untold millions of money that it may be hid away in the vaults of the Treasury. At Washington to-day they are digging new vaults, adding to the Old faults so as to And room for putting away the people's currency. It is a matter of joy, is it. that the Republicans have now in the Treasury *400,000,000? And that, gentlemen, is half of the paper Currency of the country, and more. The paper cu Tency •f the country is about *700,000,000, and of the currency of the country there is locked Up ia Treasury *400,090,030. Do you desire that? If so, vote for Mr. Calkins, vote for tbo Republican candidate for President, for they boast to you that they have locked up f400,000,000 of Four money. What right has the Government to $400,0u.i,003 bf the people's mtiney that it has no occasion to use in the administration of its affairs? What would be the effect it the taxes were reduced so that the money would come back into your pockets and into the channels of trade? Don't you know that it would stimulate enterprize? Don't yott know that it would givfl employment to lahoiarsr Shall I stop now hnd speak of the present condition of our Oountry? FOilr years ago, when, yon know, it was flusher times, and everything was well with the people, wheat was worth *1.30, and labor was well paid, and a Republican orator eauie to you and said: ‘My countrymen, won't you let well enough alone? Are you willing to turn a party Out that has brought you such prosperity and put a party id that you do nbt know What will be the consequence?* And to that appeal the people listened. How is it bow? Are men employed? Are furnaces throwing out fire and smoke that indicate successful enterprise and industnr? 1 have here from an Indianapolis paper of yesterday evening, perhaps the best edited paper of the Republican party in that city, the A’eux,;a statement of the amount of failures that have recently taken place in the country. It is a dispatch from New York, that the business failures throughout the country the last seven days, as reported to K. G. Dun & Co.—and they are great authorities On thambjfect—number.fortheiUnited States 199, for Canada 14, total 313, as against 196 last week, showing an increase of seventeen failures this week over last week. In other words, it is « per cent, more for the week that ended yesterday than for the week before that, an increase in failures Of 8 percent., and how can it be otherwise when there is this enormous portion of the people’s ourrency locked up in the vaults of the Treasury? Send that money into the channels of trade and wheat won't sell at a begging market for 63 cents, 73 cents and 78 cents a bushel. It is SO cents a bushel leas to-day than when you elected a Republican candidate four years ago who made James G. Blaine Secretary ot State, and tf you have your mortgage to pay or interest upon it, counting a bushel for *1, It takes a good many more bushels now to pay the interest on your mortgage debt than itdid four years ago, and when you come to pay your mortgage off it will take a good many more hundred bushels than it did a good while ago. They do not say to you now, as they did four years ago. let well enough alone. It is not well enough, it is bad enough. When you see men out of employment yon may know there is trouble somewhere. God wrote it in early days Of our race that by the sweat of his mow man shall earn his bread, but it did teem that there was couo.ed with that Divine sentiment that perhaps a man should have a chance to earn bread by the sweat of his brow, but it is not so now with all. There are some that can not get employment to earn their bread. I have understood that one of the establishments in this city that gave employment not long since to one hundred hands is now closed down. There is no employment there any more, and so it is with the old rolling-mill at Indianapolis, that formerly employed hundreds of men. It Is silent now as in the graveyard across the way. The stimulant of laoor, the stimulant of enterprise and life, of activity, is dead. It is looked up in the Nation’s Treasury, and the Democrats say a change of policy to reduce taxation will make it easier upon the people and the burden lighter. There are a few other matters about which, citizens. They do not expect any more to get the votes of the natives of this oountry. tboso that were born bore. They have pretty much given up the Swedes and Danes, and I believe they have come down hard and heavy upon our Irish fellow-citizens. When they come to the conclusion that they can get Irish voters they are pretty muoh gone up themselves. It Will be prettv much a disappointment when November comes around. That ia my prediction. I think, I know it is so in the neighborhood where I Hvet Why, I Said the other day at Connersville that an Irishman was a natural Democrat, That is pretty much the truth. For one hundred years he has been with the Democrats. He remembers the day when Know-Notblngism was rampanf ip the . i

Jountry, and that the Democratic partft was the champion of a free Nation ana ths foreigner's right to occupy our country along with the rest of us. L think it is a bad lay whep the Republicans nave to rely in the Irish vote. The Irish know where their friends have been in the past. Now, my fellow citizens, I think I can say to you this afternoon that our cause will be successful this year. We have a candidate for President that has borne himself with distinguished credit and honor la the high offices which he has heretofore fiiied. Ho has borne himself with credit in the city which promoted him to be the thief Magistrate of that city. He has borne himself with srreat credit as Chief Magistrate of the greatest of the States of the Dnion. Substantial objection has not been made to hi* Administration. He is to-day supported by the ablest men of the Kepubltcan party. The Independents of New York, of Connecticut, Massachusetts and of Indiana say he is worthy of their support. They have many reasons for that support. There are better assurances of good government, of American prolection everywhere and under nil circumstances if Governor Cleveland be made President instead of James G. Hiaine. and with such support in addition to the earnest zeal of the Democracy in favor of his election, 1 can entertain no doubt of the result. A paper the other day found fault with me because, with my hat in my hand, I stood in the presence of my countrymen and asked of theni their support, and if they fail to find any ocher charge against me except that they may go to—Halifax. (Laughter.) As I have stated before. I did not desire the nomination for Vice-President eight years ago, 1 did not desire it at Chicago when with absolute unanimity it was conferred upon me, but now that 1 have been nominated and have accepted of the nomination, I come before you, my fellow-citizens of Indiana, and say to you that my heart s . earnest desire is to receive yonr support. I will be glad to receive every Democrat’s support. I will be very proud of the support or my Republican friends, of my Greenback and Independent friends, and when it is ail counted up X have a sort of an impression, very strong now, that there is going to be a very decided majority in November. I do not believe I have any doubt about Indiana. 1 do not think yon have. If success for my party does not mean better government, cheaper government, a more economical administration of public affairs, I do not want it to suoeeed, but upon faith only I have a right to ask you to try onoe more. This parly, when it was in power before, was economical in its administration. It cost onlv a few millions in the administration of Polk, of Pierce, and we have come to a period where young men can not add it up. Host Not Discuss Them. The Blame newspapers do not disenss the Mulligan letters. They do not print such parts of Blaine’s speeches as refer, ever so gingerly, to the Mulligan letters. Tne reason assigned for this policy is, that “Mr. Blaine desires the letters not to be discussed by his friends or advocates on the stump or in the press.” The motive assigned to this desire is “self-respect.” The Blaine men maintain that they will not “discuss the character of Mr. Biaine, and do not think he needs any defense.” It is conceivable that the devotion of personal friendship may, comfort itself with this reflection. It is not rational, however, to suppose that such a finelyworded excuse will deceive or satisfy any one but personal friends. A man whose public honesty is questioned, has to defend himself in politics—or the general conclusion is that his honesty will not bear defense. When a large

man’s party bolts his nomination, on the express* ground that he is dishonest, the prima facia presumption of his innocence is really changed in the public mind to a prima facie presumption of his guilt, in the case of Mr. Blaine, “silence is confession.” Some of his less irrational friends see this and seek to say that “The charges have all been examined and the man has been cleated. There is no use of reopening the matter." Is this true? The charges were “examined” by the Committee of the House in 1876—up to the period at which Mr. Blaine was required to produce the Mulligan letters and stand a cross-examination on them. Two things prevented that step from being taken.' Mr. Blaine had an opportune sunstroke and he resigned his seat in the House, with the result, and, indisputably with the intention, of putting himself beyond its jurisdiction. Then the “examination” had to cease. The Republican National Conventions of 1876,* and 1880 and 1884 “examined” these charges also. The first two conventions liting Mr. Blaine out because of the letters. The nomination of Mr. Blaine in 1884 has caused the men of conscience to fling themselves out of the organization because of those letters. These facts explain why Mr. Blaine has passed the word that no discussion of the Mulligan letters shall take place among his friends; but they put an entirely different face on the reasons from that which he would have them wear. A-consideration of the letters makes •very Republican, with a logical mind and an Upright intent, an anti-Blaine man. There are plenty of men with upright intent who are lor Blaine, but they lack the logical mind. The union of the. power to reason correctly, with the possession of a patriotic purpose, makes a Republican, who examines the Mulligan letters, aeondemnerof Blaine. Some of them will vote against him. Others wilt refrain from voting. Others will reluctantly vote for him, but Will not put forth any efforts to elect him. That is why Mr. Blaine prescribes silence on the Mulligan letters. Several times a policy of silence has got Republican politicians out of a bad If. nrill or#I Mr Rlair.P t.hid

time. The charge of “throwing mild” will not serve. The matter is Mr. Blaine's Writing. Every conspicuous present advocate of his has deliberately declared in the past that the letters show the conspicuous guilt of Mr. Blaine. The cry of ‘-Democratic calumny” will not avail. 'As many Republicans as Democrats demand 'the defeat of Mr. Blaine on account of these letters. The . filmy plea of “dignity” and “self-respect”' will not do—for Mr. Blaine set the example of discussing these letters (1) by stealing them and violating his promise to return them; (2) by garbling them, reading them outof their order, and omitting to read four of them altogether, after falsely saving that he had read them all, and (3) by runnine- away from the inquiry at’exactly the stage where he would have been required to stand a cross-examination on the letters, by resigning from the House, when resignation was confession and dishonor. Every fact and reason in the case accounts for Mr. Blaine’s prescription of sileuce to his friends about the Mullifan letters—but his explanation of why e has directed that the matter be ignored is found to be as flimsy as any pretense of statesmanship on his part, based on the fact of thirty years of of-fice-jobbing.—Albany Arqus. -The prodigious efforts made on behalf of Mr. Blaine in his own State resulted, as was anticipated,' in bringing out an extraordinarily large Republican vote at the election in Maine. As the Democratic counter-efforts were on nothing like a corresponding scale the plurality for Governor Roble, the Republican candidate for re-election, will reach from 12,000 to 16,000—a result which was expected on the Democratic side, but which, in the size of the figures. hardly realizes Republican expectations. -Hon. Thaddeus C. Pound, of Wisconsin, happily describes Blaine as distinguished by a “sort of declamatory and pugilistic state-craft” That is it He is the great slugger of American politicsb w ’ ' *n
