WIPED OUT

John Chenoweth Closes an Ac
count in Blood, and
Suicides.
■
HE KILLS RICHARD T. CARROLL.
Horrible Tragedy in the Liquor-Mer
chant's Office, Caused by a Dis
pute Over a Bill— Carroll Is Shot
From Behind, and His Slayer
Then Shoots Himself.
John M. Chenoweth, proprietor of the
Peerless Saloon at the junction of Ellis and
Market streets, shot and killed Richard T.
Carroll of the firm of Carroll & Carroll,
wholesale liquor merchants ?J0 Market
street, shortly before 5 o'clock last evening,
then turned his pistol upon himself and
blew out his brains.
Both men dropped dead without a strug
gle. Without a premonition of the awful
affair, the tragedy was enacted in a few
seconds, and all was over before D. Mc-
Donald, the solitary eye-witne.-s, had real
ized what had taken place.
The crime was apparently wholly unpro
voked and the cause trifling. It was cow
ardice itself, ingratitude of the basest kind
ana the last deed of a desperate and reck
less character. Chenoweth killed his best
friend, and then, like Judas, realizing the
full horror of his work, put au end to his
own life. It all had the appearance of be
ing unpremeditated, but Chenoweth was
primed with liquor and may have grown
excited over the business conversation
which the two men held in Carroll's private
office.
After the excitement created by the ter
rible tragedy had subsided. Coroner Eaton
took charge of the remains, which were re
moved to undertaking establishments later
in tho evening
rorr, PISTOL SHOTS.
The report of four pistol shots fired in
quick succession, with a slight intermission
between the second and third, startled peo
ple in the immediate vicinity of Carroll's
store shortly before 5 o'clock in the after-
Bool). It was soon discovered that a tragedy j
had bet enacted in Carroll's private cfliee,
and a large crowd gathered on the street
and sidewalk in front of the place and
pressed against the glass doors, anxious to
see or hear something of the murder and
suicide. Very soon afterward a telephone
message was received at police hea-lquaitcis
and? he i'j ?■:•'.:<> bearing news of tiio ter
rible .nffair, Kbicb Paused creat excitement. 1
The crowd Increated in number* M't.-iut j
the wiiflli sale .; \mt store, nn'l when police
arrived from loe City li:tii n <?etall ol sty- 1
i-ral nu-u was found necessary to preserve
order.
THE TWO coiirsrs.
A shocking scene was inside. Men
walked about aimlessly, bewildered, with
grave face-, traced with lines of sorrow :iud
horror. Intense excitement prevailed.
Those present in the face of death were
paralyzed and powerless. A little further
removed from w|/cre these men were lay
the bodies of the murdered man and his
assassin upor the floor in pools of blood.
They were.stretched out upon their backs
- ln-Uuijuai positions in which they (lied,
lor the po. (be would not suffer them to be
touched until an official inspection was
made. Mingling with the blood were the
oozing brains of the dead, which matte the
sight still mere ghastly. Towels were placed
over their upturned faces to hide the feat
ures. Carroll's countenance looked strangely
peaceful and natural for one who had met
such a horrible fate.
He lay alongside the counter of the book
keeper's office, with his head toward Mar
ket street and almost touching the center
of tlie threshold of the door leading to his
private office in frout. Chenoweth's re
mains were stretched partly on the right
side on the floor of the private office. His
head was near the Market-street wall and
his feet pointed In the direction of his vic
tim's body. Apparently he had staggered
backward when the shot plowed through
bis .skull, and he fell on one side. Just
eighteen inches from his right hand was his
pistol.
TTIE DEADLY ■WEAPON*.
The weapon was a large plated and en
graved revolver with pearl handles on the
butt. It was a handsome one, of fine pat
tern and best make, with a caliber of 42
and a lone barrel. It would suit a cow
boy's fastidious taste and might have been
used on the plains when its owner lived in
Arizona. Four of its chambers had been
discharged. A search for where some of
the bullets had gone revealed two holes in
the western wall, one over the book-Keep
er's desk, the other over Carroll's desk in
his office. Sergeant Nash, who drew a dia
gram of the place and attended to certain
details of the tragedy, stated that he be
lieved that the two remaining bullets had
lodged in the dead men's skulls.
Before 6 o'clock the large store was filled
with prominent men— merchants, politi
cians, lawyers. Among them were Chief
of Police Crowley, ex-Judge Jeremiah F.
Sullivan, William D. English, Joseph Di
numJ, Mr. Carroll's attorneys and other
personal friends of the dead merchant.
They condoled with John Carroll, a brother
of deceased, and offered their assistance
and sympathy. ■
THE DISTBACTED WIDOW.
Mrs. Carroll was informed by telephone
at first that her husband was shot and
dangerously wounded, She wanted to leave
her house, on the southeast corner of Cali
fornia street and Van Ness avenue, to see
him, but friends prevailed on her tv remain
quiet for a while, telling her that he would
be taken home. Two of Mr. Carroll's
friends undertook the painful task of break
ing the sad news to his afflicted widow,
who is prostrated with grief over her hus
band's terrible death. He had left her not
lung before, happy, in full possession of
manly health and looking as if there were
many more of these years of happiness be
fore them ; but he was taken home dead.
When the undertakers' wagon drew up at
the store on Market street to remove the
body. Coroner Eaton took possession of nil
valuables in the dead men's clothes. There
were valuable diamonds and fine gold
watches and jewelry, most of which be
longed to Chcnowctb, who was particularly !
fond of sporting jewels. The revolver used j
by Chenoweth was also taken by the
Coroner.
CACSE OF THE TRAGEDY.
A Dispute Orer an Account Colts Two
Hen Their Llvel.
Awful as the tragic occurrence is,
according to all accounts, it was caused by
trouble over a business account, which to
the merchant was a mere trifle. McDonald,
the only eye-witness to the tragedy, could
not be induced to say a word to newspaper
men regarding it. He would only say in
reply to all questions that the firm's attor
ney bad advised him to keep silent.
One thing Is certain, there was no hot
dispute between the dead men previous to
Chenoweth's mad net. Nor did Carroll do
anything that ordinarily would lead his
slayer to even use a hard woid against
him. ' And yet bis murder was moat
cowardly and cold-blooded. He was shot
from behind without a warning.
The two men had been talking about
Chenoweth's account with the linn. Mat
ters were becoming strained, for Cheno
weih owed the firm about $a),ouo, aD( i it
seems was evincing no desire to pay any
part of his indebtedness. . After a lonic
conversation Carroll-' stepped into the
clerks' ofiice to refer to Chenoweth's ac
count in the ledger. While consulting with
Book-keeper McDonald, Carroll's back was
turned to the private office where Cheno
weih was seated. It was then that the
latter walked noiselessly behind Carroll
and put a bullet through the back part of
his head, shattering the skull and leaving a
large jajreed wound. Xo sooner had Cheuo
weih accomplished his ternblo work of
murder than he retreated a few paces aud
blew his own brains out upon the carpet.

motion about the cause of the murder and
suicide, but finally John Carroll, junior
member ol the firm, made a statement re
garding the lamentable affair.
" We started Chenoweth," he began, "in
the Reception saloon, on Sutter street,
about ten years ago, at an expense to the
firm of about $20,000. This money was
mostly spent In fitting up the saloon, and
not a dollar less did it cost us. As time
went on Chenoweth made considerable
money in tho business and lost just as
heavily in outside transactions, lie has
been living, to say the toast, a careless life,
and lias increased his indebtedness to us.
My brother (the deceased) urged him many
times during the last two years to mend his
ways and attend to business strictly.
Clienoweth was a card-player and owed us
considerable money— in the neighborhood
of $20,000— 50 wo concluded to call on him
for a bill of sale of the Peerless saloon as
security for the debt.
"We also lilted up the Peerless and
started him there, and continued to carry
him in business.
" This morning we sent him a note at 11
o'clock, asking him to come to the store
this afternoon. It read :
.Please call at store at 4 o'clock And oblige
Cabboll & CAItItOLL.
SHOT FKOM BEHIND.
"Chenoweth came down in time, and
when lie went inside" (pointing toward tho
private office) "we talked about settling up
the account. My brother spoke of a security
on the saloon. They had a dispute over the
bill and my brother went to the ledger to
ascertain the exact amount. While lie was
looking over the account with the bqoK
keepar, Chenoweti) .•■hot him from behind.
Finding what he had dune, Chenoweth shot
himself. 1 have told you tho whole and
true facts of the case, and can assure yon
there is nothing more to be said about it."
From other sources it was learned that
Cbenowetb had been "carried" by Carroll
& Carroll from the beginning for as "nigh as
520,000. lie was swamped in stocks during
the late stock excitoment and lost heavily.
This put him deeper in debt and Carroll
threatened to close out the saloon if he did
nut pay the bill in Rood time or to take a
bill of sale un the drinking place.
A rumor was started mat Carroll had a
pistol and drew it simultaneously with
Cbenoweth, hut the weapon missed tire.
There is, however, no truth in this state
ment. Carroll, it is positively stated, never
carried a pistol, and the fact of his having
received his death wound in the back of the
head dispels even the suspicion of a quarrel.
CHBKOWJSTH'a CAREER.
A Checkered Lire In Which Wine nnd
Women I'iffurert.
Not more than, ten minutes after the
shooting the news reached the Peerless sa
loon, and George Cheuoweth, a brother of
the deceased, who has been conducting the
business for some time, ordered everybody
out of the place. Shortly afterward he
closed the saloon and refused admittance to
all except a few persona! friends.
When seen by a Call reporter George
Chenoweth appeared to take his brother's
death very much to heart. He refused to
make any statement or answer any ques
tions, stating that he had nothing to Say.
• Even after the saloon had been closed a
•large crowd remained in the vicinity, and
conversed about the tragedy. Many of
them were old friends of Chenoweth. The
general verdict was that money transac
tions were at the bottom of the shooting.
Every one who knew tha deceased saloon
keeper expressed surprise that lie slioui.l ■
have used a pistol with such dea<l!j" tlJcct.
" J <5:.: act think that he would have fcatl
, the nerve," s::i«i on?, while BDOllief thought
! that Chenowetu Joyed me ■.- area of life
too much, ami . was to > n-.i-ch of a bor.
vir.ir.t to become the principal of such a
desperate tragedy.
LOSING MOXF.Y.
One man, in speaking of Chenowetli's
business, sail!: "Some time ago Carroll
gave Cnenuwuth the following advice:
•You are losing money. My advice is ior
you to sell out aud let somebody run tho
place who c:'n make it profitable.' Car
roll's advice," the an added, "galled
Chenoweth exceeding^"." He also stated
that for the last sixty days it had been an
open secret that the Peerless saloon was
on the market and would be sold at the
first reasonable offer.
John M. Chenoweth's Hie was a very
checkered one. lie came to this city origi
nally from Arizona, where he is said to
have followed this calling of a gambler.
He arrived in California about twelve
years ago and opened a saloon. In Oakland
in conjunction with his brother George.
The venture was but an indifferent success.
Chenoweth then met Carroll, who being a
man of means, and taking a fancy to
Chenoweth, set him un in business at con
siderable expense. Carroll fitted up the
Reception saloon on Sutter street and
placed Chenoweth in charge, where he re
mained for some years. The saloon was
afterward conducted by John Farley, and
later was sold to ex-Sheriff Peter Hopkins,
who in turn gave way to the present man
ager, -VI. Sullivan
AGAIN HIS FRIEND,
Carroll ngain Marscd Chenuweth, and At
a Cost of SIO.OUO fitted up the Peerless
saloon on Market street. At first the euU'i
prise was a great success, but with the es
tablishment of a great many other drink
ing resorts in !he neighborhood ton receipts
rapidly fell off ami the saloon became a
losing venture, Carroll in the meantime
meeting all deficiencies.
It was in the Peerless saloon that the
Garness-Arnold tragedy took place. This
fatal shooting gave a "black eye" to the
place, men about town preferrine to go to
other resorts. Arnold was a great friend of
Carroll'?, ana Chenoweth at first testified
against the slayer of Garness, but after
ward corrected his testimony, holding that
his lout had kicked against a pistol on the
floor of the room in which the shooting had
taken place.
FAMILY TROUBLES.
During the first years of his saloon life in
this city Chenoweth was a married man,
having married the nieco of a Mr. Peters.
But his business brought him in contact
with the many fast women who frequented
his saloon in the early hours of the morn
ing. These amours came to the ears of his
wife and trouble arose between them. She
began a suit for divorce and he filed a cross
complaiut. The case was full of the most
sensational developments. Neither side
seemed to be able to secure a divorce. Tho
case was before the courts for a long
while, first being in one court aud
then in another. It was finally trans
ferred to Judge Levy's court, where
a compromise was effected. What
the exact arrangement was between them
was never published, but it was stated at
the time that in consideration for a divorce
he would settle SoCOO upon his wife. Bur
ing the pending of the suit she filed a peti
tion for alimony, over which there was a
very bitter contest. On the hearing of this
petition Chenoweth testified that he was
without mean-, that his saloon business
was unprofitable, and that he was totally
unable to pay his wife any alimony.
v/'v. A ItF.CKI.ESS LIFE.
After his divorce Chenoweth began a very
wild career dining ami wining the women lie
managed to entangle. Final ly he concentrated
his attentions on the divorced wife of a contrac
tor, and for over a year has been living with
her. He is -aid to have been very devoted to
her. Some months ago be took, her East with
him, they being members of the party headed
by " l:o»i" Buckley, and Chenoweth was
• present at the celebrated banquet where
Kowalski fawned at the wealthy political
trader.
Chenoweth lived with Mrs. Ackerson at
533 Ellis stieet, between llvde and Lnrkin.
Many of Mis friends claim that he was mar
ried to her. She was near the Peerless sa
loon last night and stated that she, was
Chenowc'.h's wife.
During the absence of Chenoweth in
New York tho Peerless was ran by his
brother George, who formerly run a saloon
in Sacramento, and latterly in Los Angeles,
but failed in both. Delias been for some
time in the employ of his brother, who re
cently left the burden of the business upon
George.
During the last week friend* of John
Chenoweih have noticed that be was irrita
ble and moody, but did not entertain any
suspicion of tho Inroads his business dif
ficulties were making on his mental peace,
consequently with some it was bard to be
lieve that the once gny and festive saloon
keeper had really shot his best friend, and
then committed suicide on account of
money trouble!!. Hut they had 110 other ex
planation to offer for the dual tragedy. "■ ,
It was stated by a man who was very in
timate with the deceased that he had been
driven almost crazy by stock speculations,
having recently lost very heavily.
' Chief Crovvley stated last night that he
knew two years ago that Chenoweth was
very much embarrassed on account of his
rash aud unsuccessful stock speculations.
Chenoweth seemed to have a mania for
getting rich suddenly and made reckless
investments. .■'■■■■

! Chenoweth's father resides at 413 Leaven

months ago, his mother was buried. He
also' leaves two brothers.
After the shooting the body of Cheno
weth was taken to the undertaking parlors
of Cowan & Porter. It took the under
takers some time to arrange the body in a
presentable form, and in doing this the
skull was lifted from one side of the head.
When everything was arranged the de
ceased looked very natural, his face show

The father and brother of the deceased,
who had tho remains taken caie of, left
strict ordors that no person should be al
lowed to view the body.
A young lady with an escort called about
8 o'clock to see the remains, but being re
fused, she left without making any scene.

RICHARD T. CARROLL.
A lSrlef Sketch or the Life and Pursuits
of Deceased.
Richard T. Carroll was well known in
this city among politicians as well as mer
chants. All speak well of him as a citizen
and husband. He was 44 years of age, and
was educated in Santa Clara College, after
which he entered with his father the
wholesale liquor house of Carroll & Carroll,
which wns established in 1800. He soon
succeeded to the interests of his father.
Some- years ago he married Miss Murphy of
San Jose. He leaves a widow, three chil
dren, four brothers, two sisters and his
aged father. lie was one of the original
members of the Olympic Club, and took
gnat interest in athletic sports of all kinds.
When the news of his death was broken
to his widow by ex-Judge Sullivan she was
greatly prostrated by the shock. -
The remains of Carroll were taken to the
undertaking establishment of McAvoy &
Gallagher, on Fifth stieet. After the body
had been properly cared for it was at once
removed to the late residence of the de
ceased, on the southeast corner of an Ness
avenue and California street. The funeral
will probably be held on Sunday. \
The murder of Richard T., or as he 1s
generally termed "Dick," Carroll by John
Chenoweth was the general subject of com
ment around tho hotels and on the streets
last night. Only expressions of the deepest
regret over his untimely taking off were
heard on all sides. Especially strong was
this feeling among the horsemen.
• The deceased was identified In many
ways with local turf pursuits, being until
recently one of the leading officers of the
Pacific Const lilopd-horse Association, and
at the time of. his death was President of
the Golden Gate Fair Association, whose
meeting commences at Oakland next Mon
day, lie always had a few horses Id train
ing, and had made some entries for the
en, ing meetings at Oakland an. l Sacra
mento. In his management of the Oakland
Fair and elsewhere he was most courteous
to Hie horsemen, and did all iv his power. to
accommodate them.
Last night iv the smoking-room of the
Palace Hotel many anecdotes of his kindli
ness were told, and only an hour or two be
fore his death complimentary tickets for the
Oakland meeting were received by most of
the local owner?, trainers and drivers. He
Had the reputation 01 standing by his :
friends to the last, despite.c! all adverse
attack*, fid when lie liked a man there
was nothing he would not do for him.
Although Mri Carroll's death will cast a
Sloom over the Oakland Fair, it was stated
last nigl '. t:iul tun meeting will not be post
poned.
Superior Judge Levy met Mr. Carroll on
Geary street, near Kearny, about 3:30
o'clock yesterday afternoon. ■ He was in ex
cellent spirit* and told the Judge about his
high expectations for the success of the
Oakland meeting.

HAGGIN'S PRIDE.
Salvator Astonishes (he Patrons

His Wonderful Performance in His Race
Against Time.
Ravoloe's Record for a Mile or 1:39 1-4
Lowered by 3 3-4 Seconds on Hie
UoDuioutt) Straight Coarse.
Special Dispatches to The Mor.vixo Call.
New York, Aug. 28.— Monniouth
Park meeting closed to-day in a burst of
glory. Haggin's grand horse Salvntor low
ered the mile record by three, and three
quarter seconds, running the distance over
a straight track, with 110 pounds up, in
1 :33%.
The fact that the trial would be made
brought a big crowd of people, and it looked
at one time as though they would be disap
pointed, as it was announced Matt Byrnes
would not let Salvntor start unless Murphy
rode him. Murphy was under suspenion
for his action in the Fircnzi race on Tues
day, and his riding Salvator would mean
his exoneration from all the charges. Mat
ters were settled after the second race,
when the Executive Committee, after de
liberating the Murphy case, decided to sus
pend him until after the Shecpshcnd Bay
and Brooklyn meeting?;
It was not known by the public who
would have the mount In the record-break
ing race until the book-makers put up their
odds on the event, jj Then Bergen's name
appeared, and at once there was a rush to
bet.
The "bookies" made Salvator the favor
ite, laying 1 to 2 against him, while 8 to
5 was wagered that he Would not break the
record. There was a big plunge on Sal
vator and his price fell to Ito 3, while
2to 1 were laid against time. Some books
laid 4 to 5 over or under 1 :39 and did a large
business.
There was a long delay after the horn
sounded, nnd when Salvator did finally
make his appearance, accompanied by
Rosette and Naniona as pace-makers,
a loud . cheer went up. Slowly
the trio cantered up t!ic straight*
I StrstoiCand in a few ir.inutss only a" cloud
of dust narked tlieir progress tc tne start
ing point, where Caldwell end ball r. dozen !
aids were awaiting them.
Satvator «ad Naniona went nearly a fur-'
long past the post, leaving Rosette behind.
N'amona went off in front and was ten
lengths past the starting post before Salva
tor readied it, going at a hot pace.
When the half-mile post was reached Sal
vator had distanced Namona twenty
lengths, and was making rapid strides after
Rosette, who had just been started. Ro
sette, who is very speedy for five furlongs,
ran under a pull, ana made a splendid pace
maker for Salvalor.
People in the grand stand who held
watches were amazed at the horse's wonder
ful speed. .The quarter had been traveled In,
23% seconder me navi In 4o'A > b«conas, and t
Salvator showed no signs of tiring. ' •
The watches showed 1:11% at the three- J
quarter post, and a furlong further Bergen I
began riding the gallant chestnut. He !
brought him past the wire like a whirlwind,
and at once there fell a hush on the spec
tators.
The way in which the time-keeper acted
indicated that the record had been broken,
and when the figures 1:33% were put up
there was wild excitement among the spec
tators.
On the return to the judges' stand both
horse and rider received an ovation such as
was never wituessed on the track before.
Salvator has not only demonstrated his
superiority over Tenny, but also won the
undisputated fact of being the fastest horse
in the world.
Bftgein was eiv«n $2300 to start his horse
and S-000 additional should the record be
broken.
It is not likely that this marvelous
achievement will ever bo surpassed or even
approached in any country. It is a rare
occasion indeed when owners will try
their best against time records, and
Salvator is to treat a racer, and
is now in so superb condition and accom
plished so rcsiilcndnnt a triumph in run
ning the mile in 1:33%, that this achieve
ment will be the despair of future genera
tions of horse-owners. v
The American turf may well bo proud
of this noble champion. It will be many a
year before liU like is seen again.
Following are the results of the regular
events: First race, six furlongs. Lady-
Keel won. Worth second, Blue Hook third.
Time, 1:13.
Second race (CHrteret handicap), six fur
longs, Montana won, Russell second, Sor

Muir.hv'B Case.
New Yobs, Aug. 28.— 1t will be singular
indeed if Haggln, as soon as he
is made acquainted with all the facts
in the case, does not immediately
discharge Isaac Murphy. How he can toler
ate the further connection of such a person
with such a stable as his is difficult
to see. Byrnes wanted the Executive
Committee of Monmouth to reinstate
Murphy and permit him to ride
Salvator in his race against
time, and Firenzi in the sixth race to-day,
but thu Executive Committee refused. It
would have been a most discreditable
weakness if they had yielded and consented
to it. -

What Local Bnrnemcn Think or rotor's
Wonderful Rail.
Salvator/s wonderful performance was
the subject ol much comment among the
horsemen around town last night, and the
great colt wns praised without stint. Said
one well-known veteran who has seen all
the old-time cracks run :
"Salvator is without doubt in my mind the
best colt that ever looked through a bridle in
the world. For thirteen years owners have
been shooting at the | old mark set by Ten
Broeck, with the same weight up, of 1:39%,
made over a circular track j at Louisville.
He was then a five-year-old. Here comes a
four-year-old that picks up the same weight,
gives him a year and then knocks 4% sec
onds oft with ease. Of -course this year
Racine at Chicago went the mile In 1:39%
nnd at Mosniouth Rnveloe snipped off a
quarter of a second from Racine's time.
i .ii t what are tuch fractional cuts to a clean
four and a half seconds ?• Some people
think that faster time can be made over a
straightaway track than a circular course.
They may nave much in their favor, but I
believe a straight course, while perhaps
faster, is much harder on" a 'horse. The
same set of muscles are kept on the greatest
tension and it takes a stout, game horso
and a most accomplished rider to keep a
straight course and not swerve | aud weave
at the finish. ■■• On a circular/track there Is
easing up of the strain and an exereisingof
other muscles in ' rounding turns. The
horse does not get so tired and is not liable
to yaw all over the track. --• ■ ;
" It is impossible to estimate Salvator's
value. If ho was mino there is not money
enough ; to ; buy ■ him, and %I ; presume Mr.
Hatpin feels this same way. It is most
giatifyinc to all Califurnians th.'l Salvator
will be placed in the stud at the Haggin
ranch near Sacramento, and that the match
less champion will bo retired from the turf
in his prune and as sound as a boll and not
after he ts broken down. In this Mr. Ilas-
Siu shows his usual good judgment, and the
Salyator colts ouuht to command almost
int'h W K llJllt in gultl wllen l 3Ut "P at auction
"Ju see Fir «nz!, with 128 pounds up, wou
another S ood stake to-day at one nnd a
quarter miles, and won it in a hand gallop,
one, too. Is to be retired this season and
used for breeding purposes. I'd like to
know what a colt from her and Salvator
would be worth? A fortune. All I'd ask
would be one, and with what it sold for I
think I could retire most comfortably."

THE MEAT TRADE.
Opening Up New Fields for (he Dressed-
Beef Industry.
New York, Aug. 28.— A gigantic stock
company has been formed and called the
Dahlman Dressed Beef Company of New
Jersey, for tho purpo se of purchasing and
supplying tho markets with dressed beef
much lower lhau the present rate, which is
now made by the beef kings of this country
■ -Armour, Swift, Morris nnd Eastman— and
better Km wn us the "Big Four." The
Dahlnian Company have ordered an ini
iiicn-i! plant at Fort Worth, Texas, which
is capable of killing and storing TOO cattle
daily. They have made a two years' con
tract with the Metroi olitan Trading Asso
ciation of London, which provides lor tho
fortnightly delivery by the new company
to the steamers of a Li ndon concern at New
Orleans. Every shipmcut will bu 2444 bead
of cattle. New Orleans is only 500 miles
from Fort Worth.
Chicago, Aug. 28.— A new enterprise, in
volving Sl,wX',iX(i, has been entered into by
Nelson Morris, lacker. The new scheme ia
the establishment of a slaughter and pack
ing house, as well as stock-yards, at tbe sea
board East and West. The Interstate
Stock-yard Company is tho name of the
new organization. It has tiled articles with
the State Department nf Trenton, N. J., and
lias a capital of Sl/W.OiiO. The new com
pany win at once begiu building houses in
New Jersey, where all the meats for foreign
export across the Atlantic will be slaught
ered. Heretofore this trado has been sup
plied by Morri* & Co. from Chicago, the
cattle being slaughtered here and shipped
in refrigerator-cars to the seaboard. It is
known that the difficulties with the men
employed at the stock-yards here have had
a great deal to do with the ccnteiuplated
establishing of thu slaughter-houses on the
coast.
In San Francisco Morris will build
slaughter-houses, canning establishments
and stock-yards. This will protect his
Western export trade. These houses will
reduce the loss by a strike at any out) point
to a minimum, aud it is likely Morris will
build hoiiM-s at other points on the Coast.
The object of the new departure is also to
extend ihe arcssed-beef trade to fields not
yet opened up. Oriental capitals and the
many islands on the l'ucilio Ocean have,
heretofore, been strangers to the American
dressed-beef industry, and it is intended to
introduce the dressed meats in that terri
tory. The now venture does not mean
that Morris will uuriail his Chicago busi
ness.

Bptclal Dispatches to The Morning Call.
ISDiAXAroLis, Aug. 28.— The Indiana
Democratic State Convention met to-day,
ex-Governor Gray presiding. A platform
was adopted, denouncing Dudley and alleg
ing that Harrison and Morton carried the
State in 1888 by fraud. It says: The
electoral vote of Indiana was obtained for
Harrison and Morton by the most flagrant
crimes against the ballot-box ever perpe
tuated in an American commonwealth.
These crimes were committed under the
direct auspices of William Wade Dudley,
then and now Treasurer of the National
Republican Committee, and by tbe procure
ment and connivance of Kei üblican leaders
in this State aud the nation. The adminis
tration of Benjamin Harrison has made
Itself an accessory after the fact to those
ctimes by shielding criminals from punish
ment, and oven by rewarding them for
their knavery; and the brafen prosti
tution of the machinery of the Federal
Court for the District of Indiana by its
Judge and attorney to the service and pro
tection of the conspirators against suffrage,
constitutes the most infamous chapter
in the judicial annals of tho republic.
We denounce the tariff monop
olists for their efforts to perpetuate them
selves in power by measures inconsistent
with free institutions and contrary to good
morals. We find in the Force Election Hill
a bill creating rotten borough States, and
in the SlcKiuley Tariff Bill the open mani
festation of a gigantic conspiracy of 'the
minority to oppress the groaning people ,
with additional burdens >of taxation for
private beuf*iis.-"\7e denounce the Silver
Bill, so-called. i«ctctly eencted as an isac
niinious surrender to the money power.. It '

have been, of a just and liberal pension
system ; we"deuounce.the Republican party
for making i pledges" to the veterans in
ISSS, which havo not been redeemed and
even not intended to be redeemed, and we
warn them against further attempts at de
ception from the sauio quatter; we rejoice
at the evidence of an awakening of the
farmers of the country to the necessity for
organized efforts to better their own condi
tion and protect themselves against unjust
legislation and oppressive administration ;
in and legislation prohibiting aliens from
acquiring lauds in America, and lor the for
feiture ol titles "to -.0,7J2,000 acres now i
held by them ; -we favor the election |
of United States Senators by the
people. Our resolutions ' are as fol
lows: We applaud the eight-hour
aw, a law to prevent "black-listing' ; a law
prohibiting "pluck-mo" stores; laws for
the protection of coal miners, and a law
preventing the importation of I'inkerton
detectives, and the repeal of the Republican
Intimidation law of 1881. As a manifesta
tion of the steadfast friendship of the Dem
ocratic party to the workingmen, weipoint
to these laws as an evidence that our
friendship to American labor is not con
fined to wards alone. We denounce the
employment of Fiukerton men by the rail
road corporation of New York in the pend
ing contest with employes and hold it to be
the duly of the State and local ofllccrs
everywhere to prevent such a usurpation
by capital of the police power of the State;
we are in favor of arbitration as tho only
just and fair method of settling labor con
troversies, and we demand of the next Leg
islature the passage of a law creating a per
manent tribunal of arbitration for that
purpose; we insist that labor has as good a
right to organize in self-protection as capi
tal, and that labor organizations should be
placed on perfect equality before the law
with organizations of capital known as cor
porations.
On the second ballot, Claude Matthews, a
farmer of Yermillion County, was nomi

Washington, Atic. 28.— 1t is expected at

Hawaii contain anything of importance,
l lie dispatch agent at San I'raucbco, who
examines all State Department mail there
before forwarding it, will send a telegram
across the country in advance of the writ

week from now before anything definite,
can be learned from an official source about

The necessity of a cable across the Pacific
to Hawaii, in view of recent affairs and oi
tho growing American interests on tho

The turn of things has raised a belief in the
mind of many in both state and naval
circles that the Acting Secretary of the
Navy, in ordering the Charleston away
from Honolulu without definitely ascertain
ing whether or not she was needed them
any longer, made what is vulgarly termed a
"bad break," and that tho Secretary is
doing tho only possible thing when he
orders her back without delay.
