WALKERTON INDEPENDEN . e X — ] WALKERTON, - - INDIANA T CHOCTAW JUSTICE. DEATH SENTENCE OF TEN OF THE TRIBE. A Breeze that Brought Good to the Ship O'Brien—Trade Prospects Not Very Flattering—Giant Fortune for a Liliputian— Pickpockets in Chicago. Negro Murderer Shot by Choctaws. JOE BIRD, a negro, was shot at Wilburton, I. T., Friday by the Choctaw authorities. When all was ready for the final scene the executioners placed him in position. A civcle about three inches 1n diameter was painted in white immediately over his heart. The Sheriff with a rifle stood fifteen paces away. He took an unerring aim and as he fired the negro murderer fell backwards dead. The Choctaws holding arms %'avo utterance to a most uncarthly ge 1 and the tragic scene was Gver, ird’s crime was the brutal murder of his wife. A few weeks ago ~ he brained his mother-in-law, for which ~he received 100 lashes. For this his ~ wife left him and he called her from “her house and shot her. Four Indians will be shot at the same place next Friday and five the Fri(i)ay following. Trouble is expected and thoe military has been ordered out. \ Becealmed at Sea Three Months, HELD for nearly four months in an equatorial doldrum, or dead sea calm, | until its provisions were exhausted and its crew on the verge of starvation, was the terrible experience of the American ship Edward O Brien, which had long ago been given up for lost. Q The ship is owned partiy in Philadel- | phia, and the news of its safety has ' just reached its owner. The ship left {'ictoria. B. C., last Dacember, and made a fine run down the Pacific coast and around the Horn, but when near the equator it was caught in one of the dreaded calms that prevail in that latitude. For three months it remained within a distance of haif a mile from where it first struck the calm, and during that time theore was not |. wind enough to fill even the lightest of | its sails. i‘inully a wind came along and carried the ship to safety. But the provisions were exheusted, and the arrival of the O'Brien saved the crew from a terrible death. ‘ From Trade Centers. ‘ R. G. DUN & Co.’'s weekly review ol trade says: ‘The closing of Indian mints azainst silver, the fall of siiver bullion to 62 cents in New York and 82)4 pence at London, the fall in wheat to 6234 ceunts at Chicago and 70 cents at New York, the suspension of operations by miners and smeltors of Colq?do and some other silver-producing ‘ States have made the last week one of unusual interest. Up to the present time domestic trade has not materially changed, though increasingly restricted by mun-'-\ tary uncertainties. Throuzhout the country, while collections are slow aund fallures numerous, the condition of legitimate business is regarded as healthy, and hopes | are entertained that the worst has passed. ‘ The hoj es are mainly based on the bel of that the silver law will be repealed, and } that the certainty of its repeal will encouragd foreign investments here Lower prices | of products also tend to increase merchandise exports. Wheat has reached prices regarded as out of the question a month ago, and yet the supply in sight is large, and returns from the Northwest as to the coming harvest are more favorable. ’ BREVITIES, , THREE HUNDRED plasterers,in St E Paul, Minn., have struck.

CovERED with dust and with the perspiration rolling down his bronzed face and dropping on the neck of a | jaded, mud-bespattered bronco who | could not be urged into a trot, the win- | ner of the great cowboy race rode up to the gates of the Buffalo Bill show in Chicago at exactly 9:30 o'clock Tuesday morning. Clad in a dirty white shirt, a pair of mud-covered yellowish jeans and wearing on his head a worn-out, limber-rimmed cowboy hat, John Berry, the victor, half tumbled from his saddle in front of Col. Cody's tent, so weak and tired that he was unable to rise to his feet or grasp the proffered hand of Cody, who welcomed the little man who had ridden 1,040 miles and won a race that will doubtless be famous in history. Berry was hardly able to hold his head up and was supported through the crowd by two sturdy cowboys to the mess tent, where he was laid upon the sofa and stimulants given him. The two horses Berry rode are owned by Jack Hall, and were ridden alternately. Berry claimed that he had not cloged his eyes | for ten days, but his backers stated | that he slept while riding.

As the train; | pulled out o Breckenridge a man pre- | sented a couple of revolvers at the enEineer, Mike Tearney, and Fireman ! nk Martin and commanded them to run the train across San Antonio River, about a quarter of a mile away, and stop. The engincer reversed his enimo and ran out on it followed by the fireman. The robbers fired upon the latter, shooting him through the heart. The train had by this time stopped when the robber spranf to the engineer's seat, and pulled the throttle wide open. The conductor applied the air brake from one of the coaches, bringing the train to a standstill, whereupon the robber left the engine and ran down the track in the direction of the river. Therc were three men in the gang, and J. D.

ADVICES from Manila show that a desperate fight has oecurred on the Island of Mindoro, the largest of the Philippine group. A force of 6,000 rebellious natives under the leadership of their Sultan made an attack upon Fort Munmungan, Mindoro. The Spanish garrison succeeded inrepulsing the | natives after a stubbornly contested fight. The natives lost elghty-seven killed, including the Sultan, while 300 of thelr number were wounded. The Spanish loss, if any, is not known. IN explaining to the India Council the bill providing for the stoppage of the free coinage of silver and uthcr' monetary measures, the adoption of which was announced Monday, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Viceroy of India, said be hoped the Government would not be eriticised for disposing of the important question at a single sitting. The keynote of the schemae, according to Simla advices, was rather to prevent a further fall in exchange than to raise the value of the ru{pm;. The fixing of the provisional rate of exchange at 4s 1d provided an automatic means of preventing the closing of the mints and the violent disturbing of exchange rates. The rate of exchange had been fixed high enough to relieve the Government of its most {»run.-:ing nocessities, while it was well within the limits of the roecent fluctuations. There should be no mistake, the Viceroy said, about the facts. It is not proposed to substitute gold for silver currency. Noattempt would be made at present to fix & logal tender price for gold. While the ratio of value was mentioned it was only provisional. In con2lusion, the Viceroy expressed the Government's sense of the gravity of the step it was about to take. The importance of the action of the government of India in dropping the coinage of xilvor cannot ha overestimated at this time. It was the only country, with the exception of Mexico, in the world, the mints of which were open to the coinage of silver without limitation. It is the general opinion that the closing of the mints of India against the free coinage of silver cannot fail to depress the price of that metal.

| MISTAKEN JUDGMENT. 1 | ' 1 : CAUSE OF THE LOSS OF H. M. S. VICTORIA. . | Congress to Meet Aug. 7 to Consider the Financial Situation — New Ruling in the ] Pension Department—Rather Discourag- | ing to the Train Robber. Sad Scenes at Malta. . A DISPATCH from Tripoli now estab- | llr§hes the fact that the disaster to the Victoria was not due to a collapse of her machinery, but arose from an er- | ~ror of judgment in ordering the ma- . neuver of changing columns when the vessels were too near together, the mistake apparently lying with Vice Admiral Tryon. The British cruisers, Edger and Phaeton, belonging to the DBritish Meqmeranean a?uadron, have arrived at Malta, having on board the surviving ofﬁr(}ers .and crew of the battleshi V I¢turm. Large crowds gathere cverywhere along the water front, awaiting their coming into port. As goon as the two cruisers were reported | off the port hundreds of small boats, conveying relatives and friends of the survivors, and a number of relatives of those who had lost their lives, put outside the harbor to meet the warships. The latter came into port slowly, thus allowing the small boats to keep up with them without much difficulty. The survivors crawled along the bulwarks of the cruisers calling to their friends in the small boats and answering as fully as possible the hundreds of questions: Iput to them by everybody within hailing distance. As the warships slowly steamed to their anchoeage cheers upon cheers broke from the crowds on the shore, and they were ' taken up and re-echoed by those on the cruicers. Business was partially sus;)(:1‘1110(1 in the city, everybody being intenéely anxious to see the men who had escaped, and to learn from them, if posgible, everything concerning the fright- ‘ ful disaster. ‘ Extra Session Called. | THE Congress of the United States ~ill meet in extra sesgion the 7th day of August.

Story of the Organization. There is a peculiar appropriateness in holding the first great convention of this society in Cleveland, because it was in that city that the Epworth League was born, just a little more than four years ago. The church in which the significant event occurred is still standing. It was on May 15, 1889, that the representetives of the Young People's Methodist Alliance, the Oxford League, the Young People’s Christian League, the Young People's Methodist Union and the Methodist Episcopal Alliance met in old Central Church and formed a new society. The new seciety was received with coruuuuy, an caapico PRSI with great rapidity througheut.the.. church, The energy of Methodiem was iun it, and it spread from church to : church, from conference to conference, and from nation to nation. To-day the Epworth League is thriving wherever the Methodist Church is known. The constitution of the society has been translated into German, French, Norwegian, Bwedish, Danish, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, and the various languages and dialects of India. The list of chapters has grown to 1,100, and, with the junior league, which is specially designed for the children, and of which there are over 3.000 chapters, [ D \ AN | A 2N ‘ m .+ £ BETHEL NSV S " (L& r‘,'“\"“‘"ﬂ r" | / | Pf'.;;ﬁs ‘,A | e T ALY :"" \ ;‘\‘{.l :j Z ,_ﬁ"_-— ; i‘g "‘“ ; R — AR j a-l ; e = : EPWORTH MEMORIAL CHURCH, CLEVELAND, E st onstetsie Rt vl | the cross of the Epworth League now ‘ has enlisted under it the immense army ) | of nearly 1,000,000 young people. 3 .|e e J l ' Overflow of News.
