ITOM JOHNSON SPEAKS

'U

CONGRESSMAN ARRAIGNS THE DEMOCRATIC* PARTY'S MISTAKES.

iOSe Points Oat Where the Administration failed to Redeem the Pledges i\ Made In 1892.

iNeftv, York, kipril 13.—.A! banquet was "given at t'he Hostel Sit- George in Brookilyn toniig'ht "by Young Men's Dennocrat'Sc Clu!b in honor otf the annivers•ary otf the ibttifch eft Thomas Jefferson. lAjbout 150, iivclud'intg guests, were present, aimonig whoim were the Hon. Tom

X«. Johnson of Ohio. He was the chief speaker of the occasion and was intro^duiced by President Ferguson, who said t'hat the ex-tcongresBman was a pacemaker in '92, he would make a firattciass preside nitial candidate in *96.

Mr. Johnson sipoke on the DemocratSc ''duty in 1896. He said in part: "DeiaocratSc duty in 1896 is not to say one thing and mean p. not her. This is no I tiime to straddle. Let us have fades,

In 1896 we are lllkely to beaten. S'tradidling certainly cannot save us. It can only adtd' disgrace to deifeat. Even if without evasion or equivocation or men'tfal reservation w« (proclaim the Jeffersoniian prinicliples, we may still be Ibeaten. But we shall save honor, gain courage and in present make fiu'ture Victory sure. "Bit'ter experience shall teateh us. In 1892 we won a vtotory as great as Jdftferson won in 1800. In 1896 the Democratize piarity is broken, discredited, degraded. The reason is plain. In 1892 *we a-siked for power that we xniglut kill [protection, albolish trust, reduce taxation. We were gtLven the power. Now Hit its 1896. What protected ring has been even weakened? What -trust.abolished? "What (buinden removed? In the hands •oif a Democratic adiministration the money power power that Jefferson feared has been strengthened at every point in a time of peace the monstrous expenses olf government are being paid 'by issuing bonds and wages are lower and times harder than in 1S92. If these are frulilts df Deimocraicy What wonder that the peqple turn to the o'ther thing.

Wise men care nothing what parities call t'heimiselves, but what they do. "By

their

11than

(fruits shall ye know them.

Our victory of 1892 was a. popular ddct against MicKinleyls'm, yet McKinHey himself .seems certain to be the Rejpulblican -nominee this year and to be triiumlpfrantly elected- The strength IMfoKiixley is at t'he bottom a revolt against the Republican -machine and l-CDenraoicratto milsruile. The moment our (Democratic admd nis'tnrt-'on got into power th'e protected rings 'cnip'.urel it and 'through it imposed a little worse

the (McKinley (bill on the country under .the naime of Demoicrati'c reforms, Und the same wave of Jeffersonlan seniitiiment that gave us vtot'ory to '93 is

iJeffersonoverwhelm

rising to us in '96. "'Make no mistake, the principles of are not dead. They are re(rviving 'in the hearts of the people they liare coming to the front ftteadiiy and tswiftly in t'he iq-uiet 'but irresistible growth of t'he single 'tax ideas. They are to ibe seen in the strength of the free silver .movement, 'in it,he vague demands of populism, in every voice of popular discontent—even in the [Republican ranks. The America a people will not imuich longer endure a paternalism which presumes to tell 'them what they shall eat and what 'tihey shall drink, how they shall ibuy and how t'hey shall sell that ihas no better 'cure for tramps than prisons, and no better relief for poverty than arms—a paternalism that Is (strengthening standi nig armies and standing navies, and building forts larouind' our cities 'to ensure the protection of special privileges against t'he old encmey they fear—the people. "If 'government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from earth' the principles of Jefferson must be asserted by a party that shall honestly trust them, and that will move forward to the settlement of the tariff question and the currency question, and land question and railroad question and the liquor question, and the wage question and the poverty question, and any other question that may cotme up on the basis of equal rights to all, and especially privileges to none. "This party must come, if not this year, then later. "If not under the Democratic name, then under some other name, and when dt comes it will come with power. "It is the .time to raise the Democratic standard for the only practicable free trade—no tariff at all. This will make the Democratic party a sintgle tax party. The moment the Democratic party frankly adopts this, and fearlessly declares it will have a principle, and a future."

'THOUSANDS OF IMMIGRANTS.

About 3,300 Italians Landed In New Iork —More Coming. New York, Alpril 13.—The steamer Bolivia of the Anchor line arrived from Genoa and Naples yesterday. She Throught 1,376 Italian immigrants. Six (hunclred of tihem were detained at Eiiis feland on the ground that they are

Lkaly to become public charge's. Oif tfhds msmiber none ihad more than a dollar or so, while many of theim twere •pradtleally penniless. Dr. Senner said ithit only 10 per ice rot of those (detained jwould be allowed to land.

The immigration authorities are appalled at the great influx olf Italian pampers. More than i5,000 have already arrived. and Dr. Senoier has received advices that 15,000 more are about to sail from Naples.

Dr. Senner is very alert, and is enteopeing the immigration Jaws to the letter, particularly in t'he oase o.f Haitians, in tthe hopes of discouraging their Ifellaw c-ountrytmen, but this apparently has no effedt on thorn.

OHIO CHURCH CONVENTION..

The Congregational and Nevr ^Ught Churches to Consolidate. The Rev. Dr. Cruin of the Congregational church, leaves today to attend the conven.Uon af the Congregational and Christian dhurches of Ohio, to be held at Piqua, Ohio. By the Christian church is not meant the church some times called the Campibellites, but a church frequently malted the New Light of Comnexion. There is a little tendency .in. the Congregational and Christian churches to unite, as they are essentially the same in polity or church government and both are thoroughly evangelical. "Wiiile the Christian chunch practices immersion for the most part, its congregaltioins are not close comimunionists. They have no formulated creed, but accept the bible as their standard. This convention, though having no power to effect an organization, at lea.st has a tendenlcy in that direction and intends -preparing the way for it in the future. At the last national convention held at Syracuse N. Y., the Congregational denomination of the United States proposefd to the Protestant Evangelical churches of the land a basis of union consisting oif the four foli?wing articles: 1. The aWce/p|tance of the Scriptures of "the Old and New Testaments, inspired by the Holy Ghost, to be the only authorata/tive revelation of God to man. 2. The desclpHeship of Jestls Christ, the divine Savior and Teacher of the world. t.t„ 3. The church of Christ, which is his body, whose great mission is to preach His gospel to the wonld. 4. ^Liberty of consciemce in the interpretation of the Scripbuiree and in the administration of the church.

Since the promulgation of .these principles by the national council there has been quite a movement toward a union on the b'asis of them. This convention In Ohio is only one instance of their kind. The reicent application of the South Side Deseiple chunch of Indianapolis for meimlbersh'ip in the Congregational body, is only another movement Of the same kind.

According to the census o.f 1890, if ail the churches in the United States that have the Congregational polity or form of govenniment, were to combine, they would constitute the strongest Protestant denomination in America. In the near future a similar conconvention will be held ,in 'this state between the two denomarions. 'Dr. Curtis of Indianapolis, the Congregational superintendent of Home Mission of this state, will accompany Rev. Crum to (the Ohio convention. Both gentleimen ex:pect to return home Thursday.

THE TRESTLE GAVE WAY.

Five Men Are Instantly Killed and Two Fatally Injured. Special .o the Indianapolis News.

Bedford, Ind., April 13.—A frightful aicciden't, one of the most horrible ever occurring in this vicinity, took place this morning about 9 o'clock on the Bedford Belt Railway, which runs between this city and the stone quarries, which is used in transporting a large number of employes to and from their work, and in marketing the product. A heavy train load of stone was being brought to the city, and while crossing a large trestle about one mile distant, at a. point where repairs were being made by the bridge gang, without an instant's warning the structure gave way, and the train dropped through, a fall of 70 feet. Ed Bevins, John Masterton and Walter Leonard, bridge carpenters, the latter whose home is at Whalton, Ky., being superintendent of the repair force, was instantly killed so also conductor C. M. Ogden, ajid fireman John Sherman. Eng.ineeer George T. Meinsler and Charles Davis were badly injured and will probably die. The bridge gang was at work directly ®bnder the tfesfclci where the break occurred. The men all have families in this city with the exception of -Leonard. As soon as the alarm, was given the rush for the Scene was one never to be forbotten. The dead bodies were turned over to the care of relatives as soon as released from the debris. The body of Leonard will be sent to Walton, Ky., for burial.

At the time of the break the locomotive was beyond the trestle, and had it not been pulled from the track by the weight of the cars behind it, the men on the engine would have escaped. As it was, the cars went down into a ditch. 75 feet deep, and the engine, pulled backward in spite of the momentum of the train, rolled over and plunged down an embankment ?5 feet high. The breaking of the trestle will block the track for some time.

Charles Davis, one of the injured men, died this afternoon, and Engineer CVlcnzer is not expected to survive long.

MINUTE TO SAVE LIFE.

VERDICT BY A DEAD WOOD JUST Hi THS "WILD BUiL" MUBOBB.

Jack McCall Escapes' an Armed Blob o&i Swiftly Fleeing Horse- History ol the Famous Scout.

Special to the Chicago Chronicle. Yankton, S. D., A3»rfl 12.—A great many stories have been told of "Wild Bill," the notontouS Wesftern desiperado of trwenty yeans ago, but very few have ibeen neiar Ihe bruth. Tlhis noted character, wihase real natme was Jaaness H. Hiicikok, was MHed ait Deadtwood A*ugoisit 2, 1876, anid the ti"2al of his miurderer, Jack McCall, "by a self appointed court and his marvelous esoape has never a®peared In pirint, and. is here given as told by an eye witness. "Wild' Biai" was playing ,paker with Caiptaiin MSa-stseiy and another gamlbler wlhen MdOajKl walked uip behind Mm and, wSth6-ut warning, shot him dead. The aisaaesin Was insiBantly saizeid by those present, and a molb soon asseanIbted that clairnored for his blood. It 'was d'e'cScted to organize a court and ©ive hliim a trial for Ms Me. A judige was seiadtdd, a jury oif twelve men was imipianeled and counsel appointed for the prosaaultjion and the defense.

The prosecution made out a stronig case otf cold blooided, deliiberute murder. When it daane to tihe deifense, McCall, .jvlho was a man oif some eduoaition a'nd aJbHiLUty. addressed the jury ihSnfiself.He rffcwudk the only chord Ithaf'^i® likely to vtlbraite in his Interest wlhen he said he had known "Wild Bill" dawn in Texas that they were friends, and thlait he had introduced him (into his faim'ily. "Wild Bill," he said, ihas afotresd lias fr'iendls'hliip and betrayed h'is lister. For thait crime he had1 visited vengeiamoe on him. That began to /put a new pWase on matters. Wihile they ooridcimned hliun for shooting a •mSan without glvfing hiim a- chance for Ihis Kfe, they regarded the killing as juatifflaMe.

He Is Asked for Froof.

But JueSt there the attorney for the prose/chiitfion oarae in. He asked for (proOif otf MbOall's sltOTy, and alleged: that Mtidall's- evidences sfhouM have no weight. ftflcOallil said he had been hunting for "WHM Bill" eiver since the odcjurreniee, and t'hat he had no proofis of h'iis staitetments beyond ihis own wmWts, and that no sane man would walk u(p in a crciwd and shoot another dawn unletes he had catLse for so doling.

The jury took the case and delilberated on it for some tiime and Anally returned with one of the queerest verdi'ots that 'hag ever been heard of by any one. They were not sure of his guilt, so they decided to give him a chance for his life. They put him on a fast ihorse, filled his pockets with (bread and cheese and gave him one minute's start, after whic.h they would kill him if they could. They were sll armed with rififg and revolvers and were expert horsemen and excellent shots.

When the word was- given (MaCall started for his life. Before t'he minute wa's utp .he began throwing himself rapidly from one side to the other to divert the aim of his pursuers. At the end df the fateful minute t'he wc-rd was given and1 the.pursuit and fusillade began. It seems incrediblie, but he escaped without injury. He ran into Wyoming, and after about three weeks turned up in Cheyenne, where he was arrested by a United States marshal and turned over to a marshal in Dakota-

Story a Falsehood.

On trial it was shown that the s'tory Y»'as a (falsehood cunningly devised to save his neck. He murdered "Wild Bill" for the notoriety of having killed the famous scout and thoroughly deserved the execution t'hat followed his conviction at Yankton in t'he folicwirag year. But the verdict cif the lynch jury 'was unique and original in the history of criminal trials.

Hickok got his nom de guerre Of "'Wild Bill" at Independence, Mo., when he was albout 19 years old. T.hr.s was some ti'me late in the '503, when Independence was thefbus-y end of the Santa Fe trial. Hickok was a "nvule skinner" freighting to Santa Fe and back, and, 'In some street fight wh'ch occurred in Independence, in which Hickok had no original interest, he conducted himself with such limitless valor and appeared so utterly reckless of results t'hat he was ever af ten wiard called "Wild Bill." "Wild Bill' was like many of his sort, a profound, remorseless gambler. It was utterly useless tq talk of work or reputable employment to "Wild Bill." Through the war he was a scout for the union army. He had few convictions, but, being born and bred in Illinois, one of .theirn was an intense antipathy to Secession. It was thus he became a scout in the uni'on a.i.iy. After the war. wherein he achieved considerable fame for daring energy and erve as a scout", "Wild Bill" estab ished himself ait Springfield, Mo. It was there he killed Tutt, who had been c':ief scouts in Price's army.

earnestly claanftng and loading life pistols. "Wto'alfc are you gc&vtg to do?" asked the frfenld, wbo was an army officer stationed ait SuringAe&l. "I aim goring to bill that Tuttt tomorrow noon," sadd Bill, "or he's going to kill me."

They were fully 150 yards wpait, anid all the lines ran diagonal! ly to the line o»f ft re betiween •tihem. Thiis is mentioned be*cause fit mrakes "WHM Bill's" ghat all the more rsmartoaibJe. The mtaute Tutt came in vtlerw h'e pulted Ms pistol, as did also '•Wild Bill." '"'rHV-'Tutt Dropi Dead. «.i

They were too fwr aplart for Tutt. »w*ho had no Idea, tihart BIC could' reach Mm at that dii^tanice. But he didn't know Bill. He rattsed hL*s gwn and ftred Sike a flash and Tuitit dwwed dead with ta.btdl'dt in MS head, fully 150 yards aiway. "WEld Bill" wias so sure olf his aim that he nefver passed, "but burned on ifhe crowld behind him, several of whoim were fiHenlcts of Tutt and had WaJlf drajwn t"heir pistols to revenge hlan. Bill was too promipt And qufiok. He covered the gang ITI a general way iwffitfh both his pistols and remarked: "Wias thait on the square, genltletmen?"

The effadt af 9UK5h wi'tdhli'ke skill on the nerve® of the crowd was too much. The general vrteiw seamed to be tJhat the killing of Tutt was "on the square," and that erodeld the business. "Wild Bill" stayed In gpnrinigifield as long as he p!ieased alfter tihait incident. His assaasfln was hanged an'd his body lies in Che Yankton cemetery, while the ibody off "WliHd BiM" h'ais in Its grave at Deiadiwood.

Tutit, like '"Wild Bill' was a gambler, and they often met, and while they were in no degree in love with each other, they managed to get along. Still there were more men of Tutt's political convictions in Springfield who were on the shoot,than there were of "Wild' Bill's." They made up their minds to run him out or kill him. He owed Tutt scrae money as he result of a poker game. One night "Wild Bill" was playing poker with some friends. Tutt came up and stood looking on. "Wild Bill's" gold watch.was lying on the table near h:m. Just as Tu4tt came up "Wild Bill" won.a jackpot with something like $100 in it. •"You seem to be flush Bill," said Tutt in a half ugly tone. "Suppose you pay me that $40 you owe me." "I owe $30," said "Wild Bill." "and here it is," turning over three $10 biliB to Tutit who took thorn, put them in his pocket and then said: "Give me the o'ther ten." "That'3 all I owe you," said "Wild Bill," "and you have got It."

Tutt picked up the gold watch that was lying ait "Wild Bill's" elbow, with the romark, "Well, you still owe me ten, and I'll ket^p this wa.soh till you pay it." He put the watch in hia pocket and turned to go. "Wild Bill' took it very cooly and said nothing. Everybody was somewhat amazed at the lameness of the young union scout. Juat as Tutt went out of the door he looked back at '"Wild Bill" with a sneer and the,,re«mark: "You don't seem to keer fer this walch much, Bill. I'd suppose you'd nave set more r.ore by it. If you begin to feel like you need it I am going to paok it across the square tomorrow noon, and you might So there to gstj it If you know how.",

PROSPERITY'S ADVANCE AGENT.

Record-breaklog Postal fteeelpts Are So Regarded in the Depirtment. ^Washington, Alpril 13.—The largest sale of postage ^taimtp® and other fonrras of postage in the history oif the Undtefci iSltates postal service was the quarter 'wlhPch ended Manch 31st. The nuimlber of atairripts, envelopes and postal cards rvvias 1,102,165,&65, and the value was $21,023,613. T£ne hliighest record before mnade was in the quarter end/ing Decamlber 31iat, wlhen the value of tihe iseues wiaa $20,517,014. 'These figures are regarded at the ipostoffice dietpantlment as a,n encouraging tot plication olf reviving business acibivlity. The experience of many years has s'hciwn that the sales oif postage riise and fall wi'tlh the state of trade. The d'QcJine in postal issues does not lal'ways folloiw for a into nth or two tfhe I breaking out off a panifc, but seems to Ibe cau&ed more direictly by the curtailment of reibail trade wthiich gradually su'doeeds to tihe suspension of bank Moans to w*holeiaaIe^s and the dosing olf no/ills.

The revival af postal 'business In the jpresent case seams to have anticipated soimeiwihat the revival of trade, but thite miay be diue to tihe exjpedtation of grelaiter business and aietlivitly in advertising and soTliditing orders, whicTi naturally aicttjQim^pany sluch anrtiiiciipa'tion. The 'inica'eiajse is not so striking over •the corresponding quarter of 1S95 as 'Is sommet'ilmes Shown beitiween corresponding quariters in prosperous years. The difference betlween the two qttarters is albouit $1,250,000 anid t'he excess over it-he quiarter, ending December 31st is only albout $500,000. The issues of postal paper injereaee in prosperous years miuloh more rtfpidiy than the increase in population.. These issues, as recently as 1S&1, were $62,559,775, and they will s'how a total for the present flsioal year, of whikrh three-qu a titers have already pastsed, olf albottt $80,000,000. Thiis Js an increase o'f nearly 30 per cent, or nearty 6 per cent annually, and is more it ban twice the average annual increase •in poipuOjatBon.

This phenomenon has been indicated for a conwderaible series olf years under sulbistantially the sam-e rates of positixge, and is regiailded as one of the iproafe oif tihe growing producing caip.aclity of t'he commumity and the growling vo'juirme of trade under modern conditions. The growttth in postal business Ss almost constant in pmst^rous years, wath some variations accordingly to tllie seasons, but 1894 showed a loss as compared wf.llh 1S93 and 1805 only a li-t-tie more than recovered the lost ground, The fiscal year ending June 30, ld95, einlbraice'd only a brileif part of the pe-

.ilod of buisiness revilval following the icontraict wliith the Morgan syndicate anid t'he fiscal year ending June 3tfth next, wlith its postal issues of $80,000,000, as against $73,589,598 in 1895, wHll isihoiw some of t'he benoftciial results of the Morgan soratract, as well as the early results of the bond issue of FelbTuary.

The quianter endinjg March 31?.t is u^tna'lly the heaviest quarter of the year in rw'slt'al issues, tut the total for t'hts quiarter of 1894 was only $18,820,702. md fc-r the giaimie qv^antar of 1S05 was $19,789,610.

Mr. Phillips' Kstate.

Walter N. Phillips has been apno'nted administrator of the estate of his father, jcthn N. Phillip™,'whose death occurred in sensational way last Fridiy morning. Th«? tbond of the admini." trator was .placed at $2,?00, which the son 'Immeciate'y gave and entered uipon the dut-es of his trust by taking possession of the money and property belonging to the estate. The estate is insolvent. Mr. Phillips' business affairs were not in suUh bad shape as at first reported by the -veiling'papers. There are no Judgments standing against him and the son says his father was never defendant ir. a suit of any kind. There is, he says. «Jmost enough money on hand to cover all the indebtedness and the work of settling up the estate will require but a shoi time.

YOUNG MADE BLIND.

ATKOCIOUS TORTURB OF OHLLOBKN' 18 ALLEGED BY THE POLICE.

Kyes Are Tampered With to Make them Objects of Charity—f hree Italian Boys Found Beggln*.

ilf the police are mot mistaken they? have discovered a 'dpetcdes of chflC tor-' ture almost unparalleled. According to' their story,- cruel t^Jsons are guriw-g tsfflflpeitiuj with the eyes of young'-"Chil-dren to make fhsm ihiind that they may .be used to attract the attention of char-! itaibly inclined people. T-e specific case1 la that cif tfwo little Italian cMtfren. who! are now at fcue Harrison stree'--poHce' station annex. The" are the offspring of Ach'*le iMasselli, who lives at 370

De^plaines street, i.nd the father is forked up in a cell at the station. The mother of vhe children was caught telling a flagrant falsehood. She j»sertel that herhuJiHind Ivad bech run over ar-1 ki^rd by a train a year ago. Before th police had time to thoro^hly invistigate the truth of the storv the father walked into the station and was joyfully, greeted iby his -wife.

Children Fott&d on the Street. (Saturday morning Lieutenant Wood of the central station, noticed a woman of distressed appearance sitting on the sidwalk at Washington and Clark strets. Around her were grouped three children two af fheim apparently ibR-nd. The'eyes of the little ones twere inrtamed and red and the womian 'by signs begged people passing by to drop pennies in a little (box (which was in front of her. Lieutenant Wood took charge of the woman and children and sent the four to the Harrison street station, and they were placed in the annex. None otf them Could talk English, ibut an interpreter was ibrought in and the woman told a pitiful story. She said she lived on Desplainca street with the three little boys, 6, 8 and 10 years old, respectively, who were found on the street with her. A year ago, she said, her husband was run over (by the cars art Carnal and Sixteenth street a'nd killed, and «ae hid 'been compelled 'by want to take the little ones and go upon the street.

The story of the ^oman was corroborated by the Italian relief bureau on Ciarfc street. There the Harrison street (police learned that some time ago the humane sooiety had considered the admissibility of taking the children away (from her, but bad made inquiry among the Italians on the 'West Side and had been informed that t'he-woman tofd»the truth about the death of her hiufiband.

Tliolr Father Appear*.

The woman anid the children were Scefpit s4t the station until yesterday afternoon, when a staSwart Italian walked in and asked for t'hem. He was taken to the annex, where they were, and iwias greeted with a good deal oif joy Iby the woman. An interpreter was sent for again, for the man could not talk English, and the faiot was brought out that he was the husband otf the iwoman and the iUt'her of the children. The woman acknowledged that tiie ^tory whildh She had told albout the deat'h df her husband was mythical.

Achifle Masselli, the huiaband, was iCaken from the annex to tihe station and wae agaiin examined. He did not know thiat Wis wiilfe had told the polic •he had been killed 'by the cars. He was questioned about the condition of the eyes af the children and declar&d that the two younger ones were born blind. MJasseiri was searched and $40 in gold and a silver dollar were found in his •pockeits. The poiice also found immigrant inspection papers, which showed that Miasseili and his wilfe. Fortune, and t'he t'hree clh.ildren left Iatly March ll't'h last. He had a rent receipt for a imonthls rent for two roams at 370 Desiplattnes street.

Masselli is Locked l~p.

Lieutenant Smfth of the Harrison sltreat ^ta.'tiion, w'ho ordered the husband locked p, siaiid he believed an examination by physlUians wou.id showthat the eyes of tihe tiwo younger children had been taimipered with.. The lieutenant made some experiments iw'hloh demonstrated that 'both the cih.ildren could see an objeat which was Iplaieed close to their eyes. Both Uhe tilather and mother denied that anythling had been done to uhe children's eyes and persSslted in the statement ith'at they had been blind from birth. iMasiseUlil is 56 years old and his wllfe aibouit tihe saime aige.
