tt j t tempting to conceal himself, ho paraded tho
fc j B' atroolsnnd practically invited nrrest. No ono
"' i "3 know then that ho had committed murder, nnd
t y- so ho enjoyed his liberty until late ycstonUv
afternoon, when he wns captured on tho road to
Kingston.
Ut It was Decker's conduit beforo nnd after the
R murder, rathor thnn tho murder Itself, that
JtSE makes his caso of pnrallel lntorcst with tho
W ', crimo of Llzzlo Itallldny. The murdered man is
J ' 'William Gardner, n respected nnd well-to-do
I farmer, whoso farm was hnlf way up tho Marl-
liorough Slountnlu, and about n mtlo from where
1 Decker ll oil with his folks. Gardner was it
; widower and lived nlonc. He was n peaceful
H and innocent old man.
K Dcckorw-ns always supposed to bo peaceful
J' 'f, and Innocent, too; but, llko Llzslo Hallldny, hu
t I' had spoils occasionally when his neighbors
K I thotiRht him n bit bad. On Thursday afternoon
ft j- Docker drovo over to this town ond went to the
V I' house of n friend of the nnmo of l'urdy. Ho told
T l'urdy that ho oxpeetcd to havo a horso and
PI wagon for salo about Saturday, und ho wantsd

i, l'urdy saj s w,.s Htrrj.but whose last name ho
j ' do an't know, and this man ngrecd to buy the
, homo nnd wagon if il was what Decker claimed
j ; it would be, for sUo. After making this agree-
l ' incut Docker went back to Plattektll to get tho
j : horso and w agon.
( On tturduy morning nliout 8 o'clock Decker
, called nt tho home of his brother Will, about
' two miles from Gardner's houso over tho hills.
1 and asked to borrow his shotgun. Thu brother
j ,' asked him what he w.intc 1 It for, and ho said ho
, hj had found a nest of wild cats containing two
if, old oncsund four joung ones, and ho wanted to
S kill them. "Will let htm havo tho gun, which
Of was a double-barrelled shotgun.
ij& 'i I f An hour nfter this Isaac Drake, who lives
"C ; within a stone's throw of Gardner's place, henrd
'' ; two shots. Ho suDposed somebody w us hunting
I) I" and paid no attention to them. An ho-ir later
i I I ' Decker was seen driving toward Nenburg In
i; i 1 i Gardner's wagon Just as if nothing had hnp-
jgl ' I pened. Ho gut to I'urdy's house In Nowburg
M S at ntout 10 o'clock, prepared to deliver tho
K& , horsu nnd wagon ho had agreed onThursda) to
Hfj I( produir. but tlio man who was going to buy it
Hnt' !' ! didn't show up for an hour, and when he came,
Byl, I Instead of wanting to buy ho offered to trade
Ra . 1 1 bones.
j-t'I'" I Decker to'.d hlra he wouldn't trade. Then ho
K'i" I' took l'urdy nnd his son into the wagon nnd
KvhS1 I drove around town looking for a purchaser.
KV j lho first two men he offered to sell to refused to
iVflf S ' buy because he wouldn't tell them where he got
:Mlt II i the rig. The third man, a li cry stable keeper,
MIS if ' otfered to take tho outfit, for $-0. Decker
mvB' wouldn't sell at that price. Finally he agreed

Jjxdov, Juno SI. In tho Homo of Lords this
afternoon Iioixl Salisbury, In moving an address
of congratulation to tho Queen, said thoro had
lieen reigns in Kngllsh history almost as long as
that of her Majesty, but nono had bcon so
marked by national growth, pence, nnd pros
perity. "Atlhoclosoof her reign," he said, "tbo nt
tnchincnt,and devotion of hor subjocts lo tbclr
sovereign arogrosterlban at tfiecoiumencoment.
Not only hsa hers licen a long reign, but nn Illus
trious ono Tho extension of tho colonial empire
has boon almost phenomonnl. Tho empire of In
dia has extended, nnd various races which ware
nt war with oach other for centuries have be
come peaceful and oro fast becoming homoge
neous. "The Queen began lo reign In early youth un
der tho guidance of n groat and good man, the
Prlneo Consort, nnd, In spllo of many adverse
circumstances, tho empire Is now not only more
powerful and woalthy, but richer In love and
ndmlratlon for its Illustrious sovereign."
Lord Salisbury then boro testimony ns a
Minister to tho Queen's dcvntlon to public busi
ness, nnd concluded by expressing nn earnest
prnor thnt hor Majesty's llfo and reign might
bo prolonged for many years.
The Karl of Klmberley, who was Stinlstor of
Foreign Affairs in lho Hoscbery Cabinet,
Hoiondcd tho inoilon, end said thai riovor beforo
had there been a sovereign so impartial to thu
parties of tho State or so capable of giving wise
nnd good counsel In Stnto affairs. Ministers
changed, ho said, but tho sovereign was perma
nent, and sho had thus obtained ripeness of
Judgment nnd knowlcdgo of affairs which it
would bo Impossible for n Minister in this
country to acquire. No subject, hu said in con
clusion, had a more profound sense of the
Queen's publhi duty than her Mnjesty herself.
In the Houso of Commons thls'nftornoon Mr.
Arthur J. llnlfnurmorod nil addresH similar to
that proposed by Lord Salisbury in tho Houso
of Lords. His remarks wore recched with pro
longed 1 beers.
Sir William llnrcourt, the leader of tho Op
position, seconded the motion, doclarlng thnt lt
was the honrts of tho nation mora than Its
pride Hint spoko to-day.
Mr. John Dillon, tho leader of tho Irish Na
tionalist party, protosted against the address,
contending that Ireland has receded Instead of
progressing during tho Queen's reign.
In tho early part of Sir. Dillon's speech a largo
number of Ministerial members roso concur
rently nnd left tho Houso amid angry Jeers from
tho Irish members. Sir. Dillon made a very elo
quent address, In tho course of which bo snld:
" Wo should ill represent tho vast mnss at tho
Irish nation If we abstained from honestly tell
ing tho House nnd her Mnjesty that her Irish
subjects do not rejolro upon this occasion." '
Adducing tho reasons for tho abstention of the
Irish from participation hit ho Jublluo, Mr. Dillon
said that tho taxation per head In Great Britain
had been reduced one-half and lho wholo popu
lation had been doubled, but in Ireland the tax
ation had been doubled and tho population re
duced one-half. Tho popular llbertios of Great
Uritnln and tho colonics hail steadily Increased,
while In Ireland they hart been steadily denied.
Some ten thousan I iersons In Ireland had been
put iu Jail for political offences, and several bad
been cruellj executed under tho protextof law.
Tens of thousands of others had been cruelly
evicted.
"We asked you to release, upon the occasion
of Hie Jubilee." he contluuod, " a fow prisoners
to mitigate tho bitterness of tbo anger of tho
Irish people, but 3011 refused, nlthough the
Czar of Kussla released upward of a thousand
political prisoners uion tho occasion of his
coronation. Forty-two coercion acts have been
passed during the present reign, the llrltish
Gotcmmotit choosing thn fiftieth car thereof
to fix around Ireland's nock tho badge of per
petual sen Itude. Through bad laws, famine has
become endemic, and millions of our peoplo
have thereby starved or been driven to America.
Now we are asked to rojolco nt sixty years of
degradation and ruin of our country .. and lick
tho hand that chastened us.
"Doubtless) 011 hate tho power. It ) oil choose,
to continue to deny Ireland tho lights ou gln
to Canada and Australia; hut what you cannot
do is to drag us to rejoice behind the wheels of
)our triumphal chariot. You ma) forcibly hold
us down und keep us plunged in povorty. but
your coercion acts will never conquer the hearts
of the Irish nor mnkn them Join in ) our rejoic
ing." Enthusiastic Irish cheers.)
Col. Snunderson. the leader of tho Irish Con
sen nth cs, denounced Sir. Dillon's assertions as
a libel noon Ireland.
Sir. John K. Itodmoud, the l'arnelllto loador.
moved nn amendmonl calling attention to thu
depopulation of Ireland and thu poterty prevail
ing there. Sir. Hedmond said, in part:
"Much ns I personally dislike uttering any
Jarring notes, which sumo of our filcnds In Ire
land may regard as ungriilousnnd 111 timed, I
fcol bound in the Interest of truth to say here
that, while your empire Is engaged In Jubilation,
proud, prosperous, nnd free, Ireland stands ut
your door In poverty and subjection, sullen and
disaffected."
Sir. Jamos O'lCclly, l'arnelllto member for
North P.OHconmion, speaking In support of Mr,
Redmond's amendmont, which declared that
Ireland was disaffected, said: "It may bo n
light matter to you that tho Irish do not share
) our rejoicings, but our action means more than
appears on tho surface. It is a sign that when
the day comes, and bclicvo ma It is not far dis
tant, that you will havo to light for your liber
ties, wo will stand nhldo. Home of us will not bo
content with standing aside, (Irish cheers.) Wo
nro disloyal liecuuso w c nro not free, and wo are
proud of our dlsloyulty. IChoors.) Wo norcr
shall bo loyal until you restore tho liberties you
hao forcibly tnken from us." Cheers.l
Sir. Iledmond's amondment was rejocted by a
vote 1U to 7.
The address was then carried as moved by
Sir. llalfour by it vote of iHQ to -It. Sir. Balfour
then moved that tho address bo presented by
the whole House, nud thu motion was carrlod,
411 In II.
An Irish member writes to Tim Sun ofHce to
explain that lho Dlllonltos did not support
Itcdmond's amendment because the party had
dobated thn matter fully beforehand and re
sult ed not to rocoguizo thu addross In any way,
but merely to vote against It as an Irish protest.

Ills Jubilee Fnlbuslasra ,at Appreciated by
Kansas City People.
Kansas Citv. Mo.. Juno 'Jl.-In his eagerness
lo mako the Kansas City end of tho Victorian
Jubilee a very loral sort of an affair, Philip E.
liurrough, llrltish Vice-consul, has Involved
himself in all sorts of trouble.
Sir. llurrough's real troublo began when he
requested the Itnnmii Catholic Illshops, Hogau
and Glcnnon. to order prnj ers in their churches
for Queen Victoria. Ho met it cold refusal,
nnd In his auger ho afterward mado uncom
plimentary remarks regarding the two
Illshops. This brought down upon him thu
wrath of lho Itoman Catholics of this city,
lutrtlcuinrh thusa of Celtic blood. Following
hard on ihls'eame 11 ijtusllc letter from Dean
l)uff of tho Kplscnpal Church, resigning from
tho Victorian Committee and declaring that in
inviting tlio prayers of tho ltoinaii Catholics and
Ignoring the Kpiscopal Church Vice-Consul
liurrough had insulted the Kpiscopal Church and
Its bead, (Juecu Victoria.
To crown the perplexities of tho llrltish Vice
Consul, he hns hnd it warm time to-dny repelling
indignant Americans, who want to know-why
he tiles tho llrltish flag and does not plaio
the Stnrs and Stripes beside it. Of course,
ns VIce-Consul. liurrough has the right
to display thu ting of tho country he
represents, but manj persons do not know this,
and within hnlf 1111 hour atter his union Jack
had been flung to tho breeze Hits morning
llurrough's telephone began to ring, nnd pro
tests began to pour In. Ho whs adWscd
to bang up an American flag, and iu
some cases he was threatened with bodily harm
If ho did not do so. There la considerable feel
ing about thu matter, mid though liurrough
stands his ground nnd refuses to hang out tho
ring of the L'luon. ho is much worried and not a
little alarmed ut the situation.

problematical. Kx-Gov. Horace Holes, after

coinage of silver at the ratio of lOtol. Gov.
Holso will never do this. He is a strong silver

Toi.eko, O., Juno 21. Tho llepnbllcans of
Ohio, who will assemble, In convention to-morrow
nfteruoon nt 4 o'clock, are iu a pretty
plcklo, nnd the end no man can foretell. Tha
only thing that Is known to-night is that
tho Hinna tnon nro in full control of
tho convention in every sense of the
wool. It is nlsu known that the Hon. Charles
U Kurtr, Chairman of U10 Stnto Kxeeutlva
Committee nnd tho pcrsnnnl chnlco of Gov.
Ilushnell for reelection, cannot bo his own suc
cessor unloss lho llnnnn men rccedo from their
avowed purposo of dofeatlng Sir. Kurtr and
electing a man more to their liking In tho person
of Slajor C, W. F. Dlok, who has boonnltcrnntlng
with Sir. ICurtz for several years In tho Clialr
iunnship. Tho convention Ihls morning promised lo b
n tnmo nffnlr. but n situation wholly unexpected
wns precipitated to-night by lho arrival of Gov. ,
Ilushnell. nnd tho statement ho gives out to V
lho public concerning tho internal agreement K
of tho Hcpubllcan loaders mado nt tho time
ho nnmod Sir. Hanna for tho Senate. Gov.
IlUBlinoll is ns angry ns ho can bo over the
Hnnnn programme lo turn friend Kurtz's pic
ture to tho wall. In answer tu tho published
figures given out by tho Hnnnn management,
that lt controls the volo of 14, if not 17, of the
'Jl lnthchlnte.Gov. Ilushnell sajs:
"If I nm to be tho isndldnto for Governor I
expect to select tho Chairman of tho Kxeeutlva
Committee. Don't ask mo if I nm to bo a candi
date. I will look over lho ground llrst. Slajor
Dick already has the placo of Secretary of the
National Committee, nnd I don't sco what lis
wants with unothcr. It was well understood that
there was to bo no light In this matter, and It is
very bud polities nt this timo to precipitate a
fight. Sir. Kurtz Is my cnndldato for tho place,
and I nm quite sure nono could have dono better
than ho 1II1I in the lust campaign. I approae hod
Sir. Kurtz onlj recently 011 tho question, fori
knew that lie had alre-idy dono much for the k
pnrlj-. mid I did not feci llko asking hlui to tnko
t linr.ro of nn- campaign work again. This
campaign means something to ma If I nm
to be 1 11 camlidute for Got ernor. When 1 did nk
Sir. Kurtz to take ehnrgo again ho consented re
luctantly, nnd lt has been hut recently that I
havo learned tho Hanna peoplo were working
against him. I hnto hcurd that I was tot
turned down also. While It Is bad polities at
this time to begin a fight, tho Hanna men hats
begun it, and they will likely contltiuo it. If I
am tho candidate, I expect to select tbo Chair
man. Tho bail feeling that has cropped out at thli
lato ditto between tho factions, and which prom
ises to iiiako Ihls convention historic, waa
Illustrated further by a statement made
by Sir. Perkins, tho private secretory
of Senator Hanna. This afternoon Sir.
Perkins was nsked what ho thought of tho ,
rcjiort that Gov. Ilushnell would refuse to be n. I
candidate in tho event that his friend KurU ,
should not ho thoscu Sccrctorj. He promptly
Bald:
"Thnt would bo the best thing that could
happen to the ticket. Ilushnell is a heavy weight
lo tho ticket since the I'rbonn riot. Kvery
colored socletj InthcMatu is adopting resolu
tions ngalnst tho Got ernor, and if he is nomi
nated howillloso thousands of votes and en
danger tho entire ticket. It would lie tho best
thing thut could happen lo Ihe partv If Gov.
Ilushnell would dcllno it rciiomlnation.
'Ihe Hanna pooplo to-night were disposed to ,
look upon ttiu Governor's Interview as u blutr
intended lei lore? them Into a conference and a
compromise. On Ibis point Adjt.-Gcn. Axllno
0 lares tint tho Governor came hero with his
o.vii ideas of what his rights were, und ho was
not prepared lo glvowuy to unybodt, much less
to the Haiilin people.
Tho statement of Axltne seemed to bear out
tho impression thnt If Gov. Ilushnell could not
huvo hlsowiiwaj in tho Cli tirmanship matter
he would not jiluy in the Hanna backyard nnv
more, ana would ack his things nnd go back to
his own cellar door. Nothing would su't the
Hnnnn people licttcr than tho refusal of llusa
nell to run a hccond time.
Aside from tho contest for Chslrmsn of the
Slate Committee the c-onvention w ill be called
upon to wrcilo with three proposition. A ill
v Islon of opinion exists as to the Cuban in tttcr.
Senator Garfield, son of the late President, ssys
that no resolution favoring indcpenGenco will
he adopted. He eloos r.tvor n resolution
of Bt mpathy and nn cprcssIon of e-ontldence
in the capacity and patriotism of the McKin
ley Administration to deal with lho situation.
Iloth the Forakcr and the Hanna peoplo favor a
resolution modifving tho civil service, but a
resolution will be introduced for its absolute
rcH-nl. Kverythlng Hepubllcan. Stato anJ
national, will bo indorsed by tho convention.
Hanua will bo Indorsed for tils own successor.
Congressman Grosvcnor will bo made permanent
chairman.
Tho chances to-night aro thai Gov. Bushnell
w ill bo renominated, hut that ho will havo to
accept a eumpjlgn manager chosen for him bv
the friends of Sir. Hnnnn. who will be Major
Dick. The news of tho break in the
agreement between tho friends of Bush
nell, Forakcr. and Kurtz on the one
sidu and the Hannu peoplo on tho other has
renewed public interest in tho convention all
over the State, nnd there Is great hurrying and
skurrj ing niuong Republicans to get here In
time to see tho fun. Tho attendance promises to
lie very large. With tho exception of Hanna all
the leading Ohio Republicans are now on the
ground with the exception of Senator Foraker,
who remains in Washington, doubtless very glad fl
that hu is well out of and away from the fray In
his own State.
