WAGON LOADS OF 'EM

THAT'S THE WAV PEACHES USED TO COME INTO TERRE HACTK.

broncbt Here From Sullivan CoantjTliose Days a Memory Now.-Apples, Potatoes ana Watermelon*.

'Sullivan county used to have peaches for fertilizer. Eight or ten years ago they were brought into Terra Haute from that section in wagon loads ant} sold for a song.

Those days are past. Sullivan county does not raise enough peadies now for her own use. Cold winters killed the-trees or left ihem in a stunted condition and the farmers elew them with their little hatchets. Xo more caravans of peach wagons are seen winding along the dusty roads in the direction of the Prairie City.

Parties used to be formed in this part of the state to go to Sullivan and Greene counties to gather peaches and bring them back to be canned.

Farmers'and

everybody else

went. Peaches were so plentiful and so cheap (iown in the old Democratic stronghold that it did not pay Vigo county agriculturists to bother with them. They could spend a week or two in Sullivan county and get peaches enough for* themselves and their friends for a- year or more.

Recently peach trees have been' planted by some of the farmers Cifise to this city but as yet, according to Mr. Fred C. Goldsmith, they are not yielding to amount to anything. Last year the crop was unusually good but it is not expected that it will be large "this summer. The apple crop is surer and better. Last year it was immense. This year Mr. Goldsmith says there are a good many early apples but not likely to be many late ones. Men owning orchards have been in the city during the past few days looking for a market for their July fruit.

It is a curious fact that this neighborhood does not raise enough potatoes to supply its Qwp demands. Mr. Goldsmith says the total production will be consumed in iwo months. "Farmers are foolish,'' said the commission man, "for raising corn at the present price when they lould raise potatoes, to so much better advantage. They will get twice,as much for their potatoes as for their corn and an acre of ground will yield three or four times as many bushels of potatoes as of corn. No man around here has sold a bushel of potatoes this year for less than 50 cents. The farmers and gardeners of Michigan dispose of their potatoes regularly for 8 and 10 cents. Up there they raise 150 bushels and more of potatoes to the acre. A crop here ought to amount to 100 bushels to the acre. You see a man who has 100 bushels of potatoes to the acre and gets 50 cents a bushel for them is leaving the corn grower out of sight in the race for the almighty dollar. A gardner was in our house the other day and I asked him how many more new potatoes he had. He said he had only a few more and would be buying them from us shortly. We shall be shipping old potatoes into this city all next winter. We did so last winter and could hardly get hold of enough of them to fill our orders.' The United States grows potatoes in sufficient quantities to equal the consumption but that is not true of this particular community by a long shot."

There are some watermelons on the market but they are high and not the best. They come from Georgia and Georgia is a considerable distance from Terre Haute. By the time a melon is picked off a Georgia plantation, carted to a railway, loaded and shipped a thousand miles or so through the hot sun it is not in strictly ideal condition for eating. Within the next ten days—probably' by the end of the present week—the southern Indiana and Missouri watermelons will be on sale here. Poseyville, that famous center for the luscious fruit, will begin to send forth carloads of the melons. They will come north in solid trains before the season is long on and then somebody «.lse besides a plutocrat can get a watermelon to eat and have a good one at that.

Poseyville claims that one of her watermelons, after it has lain for a few flours on ice, is th£ sweetest surprise the i^latc of man ever knows. There is said to lis something about the soil around the historic town, some peculiar property in the sunshine there, that puts the soul of deliciousness into rhe melon and makes it fit diet for the gods of Mt. Olympus. They have a few poets down around Poseyville and these rustic bards have now and again swept the strings of their harps in tribute to the red-colored wonder of their sandy fields. That ooun iy is the colored man's paradise. It is his land of milk and honey. He goes there when ihe watermelon season begins, when its joys open, and he remains in the country in a kind of ecstatic stupor until the sands are strewn with only empty rinds. Then he departs as an artist who has seen the sun die in an ocean of splendor.

B. Y. P. U. AT CHATTANOOGA.

Convention is Over But There Will be Several Rallies Today.

Chattanooga, Tenn., July IS.—Early morning devotional services were held in all the churches of the city today in connection with the convention of the Baptist Young People's Union of America. At 1 o'clock the pulpits of the city were filled by the visiting ministers.

The Rev. J. B. Hawthorne, the distinguished Baptist divine of Nashville, preached the convention sermon at the Auditorium this afternoon to 5,000 people. His subject was "The Ideal Christian Man." The evening was given up to a dedication service of unusual interest. The meeting opened with a general devotional and praise service, followed by a consecration address delivered by the Rev. C. E. Wolfln, of Brooklyn, N. Y. A roll of the states was called, and the representatives of the union thereupon arose and formally consecrated the union of his state to the service_and \fork as outlined by this convention. The scene was an inspiring one. Sectional lines were simply wiped out, the North, the South, the East and th? West vielng with ea'ch other as to which should show the most ardent devotion to the common cause. Six hundred dollars was subscribed to*send Dr. iTranjt Harper, of Detroit, who on Friday volunteered to devote himself to foreign mission work, abroad to some of the churches mission fields. Resolutions were adopted expressing thanks that the debt of $468,000 of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society has been raised, and: expressing the-gEatifi cation of all Baptists that. ihe denomination un the United States was united through the -Young People's Union.. Tonight's-services closes the regular convention proceedings, though several r&lltea will be held "tomorrow, and a service will be held-it Snodgrass hill in the National Park, it wfctiJi'''&tft¥Ibtic addresses and songs will be mingled with the religious exercises.

.WATCfiING 'GENE DEBS. .,

London Spectator Warns America Against Collectivism as Planned By Debs. London, July 18.—A somewhat pessimistic view of the proposed Debs collectivist settlement in the west Is taken by the Spectator, which say "Collectivism hitherto has been confined to foreigners in the United States, particularly to Germans. But the new movement means a native collectivist party. Such a party s«ems to. be '.n process of formation and way portend treat

changes in the character of American polltice. It is likely to exercise considerable influence throughout the world sooner or later. Assuming that the project were fairr ly successful, a collision between'the colonists and the trusts would he bound to arise. The continued despotism of the trusts would easily occasion a combination of discontented farmers with the artisan population of the cities and the year 1900 may see a western Populist in the White House, a congress angry and determined and state legislatures everywhere west of the Mississippi in complete sympathy with the revolutionary demands of the collectivlsts, who would differ only in details from the German Social Democrats. ,u "Such a situation would he bound to lead to the employment of the federal forces, which, with Mr. Bryan as president and a Democratic congress, would take the form of a suppression of the trusts and railway corporations. With Mr. McKinley the interference- would be the other way. His eagerness for a bimetallic copference with the leading European states shows an attempt to capture the silver vote of the west so as to break up the forces of discontent. "The ugly temper which is growing on the basis of the revelations of the tariff bill is adding fuel to these flames. In America action is almost always taken suddenly and it may be but a few years before a great party -will become dominant, determined to carry out a great collectivist scheme, perhaps including the state ownership of railroads."

RUN DOWN AT LAST.

HARKY T. HUEGLE, WANTED FOR PASSING A FORGED CHECK.

Has Been Shadowed and Lost Sevoral ly

1.

Times—Another Criminal Caught Yesterday,

Yesterday wae a red letter day for the Terre Haute police department. Two forgers, one of them a man wanted for over a year and chased all over the United States before he was ritn to earth by Detective Dwyer, of-tho local force and the other an alleged traveling man, who committed his deed of darkness over the bar at the New Filbeck last Saturady.

It was on the third of February, 1896, that a fellow, calling himself Harry T. Huegle, and representing himself as the son of a millionaire at Boston, made his break for the bars which eventually caused his arrest. He is also wanted at several other places. Thf man is of prepossessing appearance, be ng tine looking and with the air of a Thespian fresh rrom the boards. He has been known to impersonate a theatrical manager. Huegle! succeeded in cai-hing a check at a local 'bank for $66. The check was on the Merchants' National bank of Indianapolis, and purported to be signed by C. E. Hoilenbeck, receiver for the Baker-Randolph Lithographing company. The fellow succeeded in making gooa his escape before the forgery was discovered, ana was not caught till yesterday. The grand jury returned an muiotment against him.

Detecttve Dwyer first got wind of the man through a scrape he got into at Louisville. Huegle married a girl at Staunton, Ind., about two years ago, and recently stole a rig with which he drove to the home of "his father-in-law. His wife was with him when Arrested. The fellow, it is said, hg.ja often played the livery dodge, hiring a rig several times and at last failing to bring it back. It is said indictments are waiting for him in several large cities.

About two weeks ago, Kuegle was spotted in Boston, but before he could be captured he mysteriously left the city. A week ago the police got a tip as to his whereabouts and followed the clue until hi arrest yesterday. He was brought here in the ttfternoon and now languishes in the jail.

The second man goes by the name of M. L.-Strong, and was captured in Danville. Saturday evening he passed a bogus check for $8 upon David Kiefner, of the Filbeck hotel bar. The check, purported to be signed by A. Grafe.'but was pronounctd by that gentleman to be a forgery, today. Strong was traced to Danville, In., ana a telegram rent there, at 9 a. m. At 11 an answer from HaM's detective agency that the man wanted was under arrest. Strong is alleged to have also played a similar racket upon two or three other citizens here. Detective Mclftae went after him in the afternoon and brought him to Terre Haute lata in the night.

THE GREAT PARADE.

HOW THEY WILL LINE UP ON MORNING OF THE ELEVENTH

Platoon of Police and Chief Consul Will Lead Bluest Stiiog of Wheelmen Torre Hants Ever Saw^'"

The. order in which the mammoth parade on the first day of the state meet of L. A. W. will appear to the astonished gaze of the populace has been decided upon by the committee having arrangements in charge. The line will be as follows: Platoon of police, Chief Cansul Wallace C. Sherwood, division officers, honor badge division, division of members of the L. A. W., various cycling associations and unasSociated riders..

It has not as yetbeen estimated as to the number of miles the parade will lengthen out, or ho?* long it will take for it to pass a given point, but whether th* bicycles bunch or allow a space between individuals they will constitute such a procession as will cause tc\ fade into utter insignificance many a stately pageant of famous memory or the boasted and advertised glory of the circus parade. Mr. George Rosseli was in Indianapolis the other day and says that he had it straight from headquarters that the novel idea embodied in the tours from all cities in the state by wheel to this jyear's Mecca will bring an enormous crowd to Terre Haute for the racss and meet.

An effort if now being made by the local board to induce all the merchants in the city to decorate their places of business profusely inj honor of the occasion and help make a lasting impression of the city in the mind of the visiting hosts. Several of the largest stores have announced their intention to leave half their force off on the alternating afternoons. The committee on racet' is now in the throes of composing a souvenir programme of the occasion which will dazzle the eye and bewilder the brain with its beauty.

The run to Marshall and back which was made by fifteen of the Wabash Cycling club Sunday morning was an enjoyable occasion. The roads were in only fair condition but good time was made. The boys were met by the club of Marshall who entertained them while there and escorted them on part of the homeward run.

The executive committee held a meeting at the rooms of the W. C. C. to attend to some routine matter.

Robert T. Vrydagh, the architect, lowered the record for a century on Sunday. The time was not officikl and he cannot claim the record. The rules provide that three timers must be at the point of starting and three at the finisn. This was not done, but by Mr. Vrydagh's own time he reduced the record one minute. The previous half century was made by George Kreitenstein in 7 hours and 13 minutes. Vrydagh started on the run at 5:45 a. m. and completed it ato 12:57 p. m, making the distance in 7 hours and 12 minutes. The course he took was to Rockville and return down the Youngstown road and return and the finish was on the paved streets. The record he ma'e the trip on was a Columbia.

IS OUT OF THE EACH

WASHINGTON NO LONGBB A MEMBER OF THE CENTRAL LEAGUE.

The Predictions tof The Express, Made Before tbe Season Opened, Have Proven Correct.-

The enoW'Waa dying last winter when The Express made a prediction. It was freezing cold, the people of the state were riding in their sleighs, that Is some of them were. Gabe Simons of Evansviile, was not out in his cutter. He was trying to organize a base ball league with himself as president, secretary and treasurer. Gabe Simons organized his league, and in the circuit were Nashville, Evansviile, Terre Haute, Paducah, Cairo and Washington.

It was while the snow wac falling and Gabe Simons was scheming for base ball notoriety and a few dollars on. the side' as an officer, that The Express said Washington should never have been considered as a member of the league. The mercury in the thermometer was-dropping rapidly when it was given out that Washington was a dead card when it came to base ball. An able-r bodied howl wont up about what was said concerning the Daviess county village. It was given out by Simons and the know-alls that Washington was going to be the banner town of the Central League. It was announced the association behind the club bad money to burt\, that a dozen or more little hamlets surrounding Washington would pour crowds into the Daviess county capital to witness ball games.

Washington was admitted to the league over the protest of Terre Haute. This morning The Express announces with authority that Washington has played her last game In the Central League. The last game was played yesterday with Paducah. Washington has had few paying crowds this season. The'surroundlng towns failed to come to the front with the patronage and the twenty-five or fifty people who attend on week days was insufficient to maintain the club. The association engaged one of the most—in fact the most—expensive team in the circuit. There was one man on the team getting a $175 a month. This was Kellum. Then Beam was getting $150. Grim drew $125 and Howard about the same amount. Miller, the othes pitcher, was drawing about $125. This was too much for Washington. She was over the limit, depending on a winning club to make her money on the road. The handicap at home was too great and the association, after losing $1,400, has decided to give up the ghost. President Winton has hopes of transferring the team to Owensboro, but this can not be accomplished. The following is a dis-t patch from Washington last night:

With today's game the Washington base ball club ceases to be member of the Central league. The directors at a (meeting this morning decided to disband the club, the cause of it being lack of patronage. The expenses have been great and the team could no longer be kept on its feet. The association- owes over $1,400, a large portion of it being to the players, but the directors claim every cent of it •will be paid. There have been but very few games here that the receipts were sufficint to pay the guarantee to the visiting club. The announcement of the disbandmer.t was received with much regret as the team was a good and winning one. President Winton is endeavoring to transfer the team to Owensboro, Kentucky.

AS TO TERRE HAUTE.

The Team Will Likely Not Go on the. Trip Today.*

At midnight last night Pitchers Hugh Price and Rodman told a reporter for The Express that they would not accompany the team on the trip to Cairo today. This may mean that the team will not go to Cairo at all, considering the fact that Washington has given up the fight. Bates is also dissatisfied, and there is nd telling but that the club will have no pitchers to accompany it on the trip. Price refuses to go unless he is paid moneys alleged to be due him. If what Price says is true, he has not been treated fairly. If what Bates says is true, he too, is suffering at the hands of the directors. Price, it will be remembered, missed the train when the team went on tho last trip. He went the next day, joining the club at Cairo.

Last night was the time for paying the players and the men were on hand for their money. When Price went up to draw his check he found he had been charged $5.20, the amount of the ticket to Cairo. Hughie says that the association purchased tickets for the entire club to Cairo, and that while the directors were forced to pay full fare for him the day following they were given a rebate by the railroad. He claims the $5.20 is being wrongfully withheld and for this reason he will not go on the trip. Rodman says the association owes him $5 for umpiring, and that he held the account over from the last pay day on the promise of a settlement now. He says he was refused pay last night, and will pitch no more ball until he is paid. Crede Bates is in even worse trouble. The young man has been here but three weeks, but it is said he received no money last night, the directors taking out what he had coming tc pay for his railroad ticket from Knoxville to Cairo. Bates says he wrote the directors he would come if he was given free transportation and that he was sent a ticket. He came, believing he would not l)e charged with the ticket, but now finds he is supposed to pay. Dm Crotty, the suspended man. is also howling. He finds he has been fined every penny he has earned—$25 in all.

The directors were not to be seen l§st night relative to the stories of the players, but they will be today and some developments are expected. Just what will be done this morning is hard to conjecture. As it is the team is disheartened. The work of the men for the past few days has demonstrated this. Their best efforts have not been given for the reason there was uncertainty. The club did not pay on time and listless ball has been the result. This morning there will be a counting of noses and not until then will it be determined whether the club will go on the trip.

WAS WON IN THE EIGHTH.

Williams Was Given His Bumps In the Eighth Inning.' By a batting rally in the eighth inning yesterday Terre Haute won a game from Henderson. It was the only game won out of the entire series and the 150 people saw it stood up and howled from the time the fireworks started until the winning run had crossed the plate. It was a game full of enthusiasm and it was the kind that makes ball cranks. Such a finish has been seen but once this season and that was on July 5th, when Evansviile reached in and pulled a seemingly lost game out of the flre in the tenth inning.

Crede Bates was at his best yesterday and held the visitors down like an old veteran. But five hits were made off of him and one of these was a scratch. Henderson took the lead In the first inning. Griffin was sent to first on balls, was sacrified to second and scored oh Armstrong's error. In the second Terre Haute came up alongside. After two were out Raeber was given a life by Griffin and he scored ott Bates' bit. Henderson scored in the fourth, two runs crossing :h« pWte. After Lynch had flied out to Farlan, Belt reached first on Armstrong's error. Ogdea. the man who was not goad enough for Terre Haute, made a lut and

TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS, TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 20, 1897.

Belt reached second. He stole third and Ggden stole second, Then it was that McCoy dropped in with a two bagger and .scored both runners.

In the stxth Henderson again scored, tbe man Ogdcn again doing the business. Lynch was sebt to first by Raeber's error and after taking second on Boland's out scored on Ogden's drive to right field. The eighth came and with it victory for Terre Haute. McFarlan was Qrst tip and htf made a hit. Dobbs was next and be also singled. Beban waited patiently for Williams to settle down and as he didn't do it Behan walked to first, filling the bases. Armstrong hadn't played a very good game up to this time for the reason that his wife is sick and be was up all Sunday night. However, he was not found wanting in a pinch, for he slammed oiit a beautiful line drive to left field and two men scored. Belt threw the ball to catch the "red dog" but he was late and Behan sprinted in ahead of the throw. BennyIreland demonstrated that his batting eye is yet good by smashing out a single over third. Ogden lost it in the sun and the fourth run crossed the plate. The locals were in the lead and Bates went in and pitched balls to but six men in the last two innings. Here is the score.

JOSEPHINE IS WINNER

CHARLEY RAY'S OOOO MARE WON THE 2:3© PACK AT DETROIT.

Sht Went th* Second Best ia and Had Plenty of SpeMt to Spxrm.

Detroit. July 19.—About 5,00(1 persons saw John R. Gentry and Rooert J. pace exhibition miles at the Grosse Point track today. Gentry made the mile in Robert J. a second slower. The track was in fine condition, but the air was rather oppressive and scarcely ideal for record breaking.

In the 2:2D pace, Silver Chime's w«s the favorite but he gave no indication* of doing anything for his backers. John Dicker son with Josephine stepped oft three good miles and won cach heat without having to be extended.

Red Seal was the first choice in the three-ycar-old pace) with Patchen Boy second in demand. Red Seal finished third in the first heat and second in the second heat and the judges decided to change teamsters putting Gtere up in Srvln's place*.

Geers drove the colt from the halil hume in 1:0% but was a little too faf back to win th« heat, having overdone his caution to take the first half slow.

The time made iu the specials was a. disappointment. Scott Bowne who drove them, says that rain and heavy tracks at Montreal and Manchester prevented htm from having either Gentry or Robert J. ori edge. President Camftau says there will never be another exhibition against time on the Grosse Pointe track unless remuneration for the exhibition depends upon breaking the world's record.

DUE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

Police Board Will Ask the City Fo» Settlement of Accounts. Since Charles E. Hyland became"superintendent of police he has entered upon a'hunt for funds due the police department but which in the years gone by have never been turned over. He has already brought the pound keeper to time, which means matiy dollars to the city and he is now bringing the city to an accounting for services rendered by the police in the matter of serving notices. The police department Is today being maintained on a very close margin. The city is only compelled to pay a certain amount for the keeping up of the department and this being the case Superintendent Hyland is doing all in his power to bring funds into the city treasury in order that the department may be well managed and have a showing at the and of the year worthy of note. In looking over the records of the police department he has discovered thst since April 1st last, sr the time when he became chief, the city is indebted to th* department in the. sum el $187.40. This

r»

amount comes through the poiic* ®«rv:ng astkis tor street iaaroweauste, mract openings and for meetings of «he eliy cxaxUsioners.'

Nevertheless, the records of tfea department show thai five h«a»cs are kept at the expense of the police. The other three horses are used by the enslneerin* corps-and street commissioner, yet the police pay for the feed and the amount is charged *p as a portion of ^he expense of maintaining the department. The f»es due the department for serving notices .U be' turned over by the police board to the city council and as there is an ordinance authorizing the payment of these dues they wi'l unooubtediy be allowed and tie money placed in the police fuad.

Indianapolis, July 17.—The fight for the Democratic nomination for mayor, which is to be brought odt in the convention Ttrurs*_ day, er rather in the primaries Wednesday night. Is much more interesting in its political phases than tho election will be, thouglf that event will be taken as an interesting, political straw. But the nomination* bins'A directly on the "the silver cause." Here, as elesewhere last year the tried and influential members of the Democracy were fop sound money and none were so determined in this position up until tho time of the convention than was Thomas Taggart, ex-chair-mAn of the state committee, mayor of :h« city and one of the most influential Democrats in t*" state. He was chairman of thd sound money executive committee and carried this county for that cause in the primaries and made a desperate fight in the r\| state convention, but the silver sent.mensH|| in the party throughout the state was strong. Like other leaders, he was turned down and his sound money delegates thrown out of the convention by a contest-:"^ ing delegation of free silver men. After the convention Taggart. remained friendly foin both sides and slipped along quietly through the campaign. Since the election he has had'various appointments to make and invariably has appointed men that were Palmer and Buckner adherents, while all those employes of the city administration who took the gold side of the argument have bren ,, permitted to retain their places despite tha clamor of the silver nowiers that they wvre bolters and traitors and should be turned our.

NoW Mr. Taggart is a candidate for renomination for niayor and the same men who succeeded in leading the party into th« Populist camp last year are opposing him with vigor and virulence. Two months ago they organized the "Democratic Silver Leaguo" and the activities of this organization have been directed toward ihe defeat of Taggart's nomination. They have held meetings each week and denounced Taggarc as a "gold bug" by means of speeches, interviews and printed circulars. Taggart had the machine, the city committee beicjf made up largely of his personal friend?, more than half of whom had stood by the Palmer anr Buckner ticket last fall. At first the silverites directed their attention largely to the denunciation of this committee and calling for a new deal. The chairman of this committee. Captain J. B. Curtis, had given an interview after the election at which he expressed satisfaction at tbe defeat of Bryan and this interview was harped on in numerous circulars from the Silver League. The new deal was-given them two weeks ago with great suddeness. Captain Curtis one day issued a call for organization primaries the next evening and tha silverites were all unprepared for it. A new apportionment of precincts had been made and the only maps in existence were blue prints made in the office of the city '„5 engineer and in the hands of the friends of g§|| the administration. With this advantage they went in and elected a new committee £$ more strongly tinged with the gold element than the old one and W. W. Spencer, one of Taggart's best friends was made chair-^jt man. Believing that the time to strike waa?^ while the enemy w-as demoralized. Mr. J'-i

Spencer at once announced his appointments of precinct committeemen and issued tha* call for the city convention. The silverites are still without maps, but they have pulled themselves far enough to get into pretty fair fighting trim. They have brought oui a candidate .against Taggart, Frank, A. Maus, a wealthy retired brewer and hav« induced the Populists and silver Republicans to call their conventions the same day as the Democratic convention with the threat that if the convention nominate.' Taggart. these two elements will ncrainata a silver Democrat and thus give the siivet Democrats the hope of splitting uj^the Democratic power.

But for all this, the chances are lars^ly in favor of the nomination of Taggart. He has the macbihe and all the gold Democrats as well as those leaders who stood for gold at the start and then weakened afterward, are friendly with him. and *he election or last November showed that nearjy half the Democrats of tbe city are for gold. After being whipped so thoroughly the masses of the Democrats ere much more ready to listen to reason than they were a year ago and the leaders turned down «o ignominiously then are regaining their in» fluence.

A Prccoclona Trio lu Jail.

Saturday morning the mayor fined Joseph McGee heavily for trespass, on complaint of Jailer Smith. McGee is the ex-convict who caused the arrest of Anna Carroll and Albert Evelin the other day, on a charge stealing money and cloches, from him. Tht 'two were found living together in a Main street room, and w^re taken to Jail. McGct has been hanging around the Jail ever s.nce trying to obtain speech of the two whose arrest he caused. Her told Develln he would withdraw the charge, he had made if h« would let the woman alone, ana *«so saying he had made the accusation supply becaus* he was Jealous of him. This will lil ely be the cause of a trial of McGee on the chargt of perjury,

The two arrested were tried in Squiri V'x Brown's court at 4 in the afternoon, and as no positive proof could be introduced against them as to stealing the goods of McGee. they were released. Tho three are a notoriou*

It is conceded that the ^onventfort of Democrats will put a silver plank in its platform, but this does not satisfy the rllver howlers. They want to know what is the use of a "goldbug" candidate on a silver platform. Tbey declare that if Taggart^ should be re-elected they would again hnve the spectacle of a Democratic administration manned by sound money adherents.
