Special to the Globe.
Dcs Moines, 10.. Sept. I.—The Demo
cratic state convention was called to
order at 10:30 o'clock by Edward 11.
Hunter, chairman of the state commit
tee, in the Grand opera house, lt was
in every respect a representative gath
ering of the Democrats in the state, al
though it was easy to discern that the
quota of youns men in the delegations
was larger than usual. Many of the
older party workers had seats upon the
stage, while the boxes, which had been
specially reserved for ladies, were re
splendent with beauty and fashion.
After Bey. Van Antwerpt had pro
nounced a brief divine invocation with
true Episcopalian reserve and dignity,
Senator W. W. Dodge, of Burlington,
was introduced as the temporary chair
man. The senator is a native of lowa, is
YOUNG AND HANDSOME,
but not heretofore specially brilliant as
an orator. lie made a good speech
to-day, however. He arraigned the
record of the Republican party in com
parison with the administration of Presi
dent Cleveland, giving the' latter a most
cordial indorsement, which brought
from the convention loud and long con
tinued cheers. Protection was de
nounced and tariff reform .to a revenue
basis demanded. Turning to state af
fairs, Senator Dodge addressed himself
to the state prohibitory law, character
izing it as a piece of infamous legisla
tion, promoting perjury, fostering a
system of spies ami informers, and mak.
ing possible the violation of the sacred
ness of. the home by reckless and irre
sponsible constables. The gerrymander
of the legislative districts of the state,
by which Republican counties are given
the same representation as Democratic
counties with four times as many popu
lation, was not overlooked, and when
the speaker finally concluded his ad
dress and took up the gavel, the dele-
Bites were in an enthusiastic state,
pon reassembling at 2 o'clock the com
mittee on credentials reported every
county fully represented.
HON. CATO SELLS,
of Black Hawk, another of the younger
Democrats of the state, was the choice
for temporary chairman. His speech
was in a good style of oratory. It
sounded well. It was noticeable" that
his several complimentary allusions to
President Cleveland were cheered to
the echo, and when he asserted "that
Grover Cleveland would certainly be re
nominated and re-elected"iiext year, the
convention was fairly carried off its
feet. There were no unfavorable allu
sions to the president and all mention
of his name and adniistration were of
the most complimentary kind, to which
the delegations responded with liberal
applause and cheers. No allusion to a
second term was made except by Sells,
but the spirit of the convention was
clearly for it. The sober business of
the convention began With the report of.
the committee on resolutions. Things
had not been going overly smooth in
the committee room. The delegation
from the river counties opposed a defi
nite plank on the liquor question. They
wanted to declare for a stringent li
cense law, but opposed a close defini
tion of the amount of license favored.
They also opposed a local option
feature. The rural districts wanted a
minimum fee of $500, with a local option
fiat attached. They had their way
by a vote of 7 to 4. and when a contest
was made in the convention by an effort
to substitute the former view for that
agreed upon, the verdict was still more
overwhelming. Then there were the
friends of the railways upon the com
mittee who urgently opposed radical
ANTI-MONOPOLY UTTERANCES
in the platform. These, too, were
doomed to disappointment, as the gran
ger element controlled, and the monopo
lies did not dare to carry the light into
the open convention. After the adop
tion of the platform nominations fol
lowed and were quickly disposed of.
Maj. T. J. Anderson was nominated on
the first ballot by a decisive vote over
ex-Senator Bestow. J. M. Elder, of
Hancock, defeated Capt." Jaquitt, of
Wapello, for lieutenant governor on the
first ballot. Charles S. Fogg, of Guth
rie, likewise won the supreme judgship
nomination on the first ballot, Hon.
Daniel S. Miller, of Lee. being his com
petitor. Prof. 11. W. Sawyer, of Fre
mont, was nominated for superintend
ent of schools by acclamation. The
ticket is not the strongest that could
have been named, but the platform,
which is admirable in the issues it pre
sents, will greatly help matters out.
The convention adjourned in good
spirits and there are no kickers around
the hotels to-night.
THE REGULAR REPORT.
Dcs Moines, 10., Sept. I.—Before the
opening of the Democratic state con
vention this morning the district cau
cuses met and prepared the committees
to be reported later, and at 11 o'clock
Chairman Hunter called the convention
to order and introduced Senator W. W.
Dodge as temporary chairman. At the
close of Senator Dodge's address the
committee on permanent organization
was announced. The convention then
adjourned until the afternoon. On as
sembling in the "afternoon, Cato Sells
was made permanent chairman, and the
other temporary officers were niade per
manent. The committee on credentials
reported every county represented,
and, with very few exceptions, full
delegations. There are 019 delegates.
The re ions Were read by F. W.
Lehihttiill, and. in the report was a rec
tmimendation that they be adopted sec
tion by section, which was agreed to.
The first resolution was adopted unani
mously and the second was adopted
after the insertion of words, "and to
bacco." After the adoption of the sec
ond resolution a motion . was carried by
a close vote instructing the officers to
send a cablegram to Mr. Gladstone.
The other resolutions were adopted
without dissent until the liquor plank
was read. The committee had dis
agreed, Col. Mackeye, in behalf of the
minority," presented a substitute favor
ing "judicious regulation of the liqour
trrflic." and practical local option. -This
was voted down after a heated discus-,
sion, and the motion *to strike out the
local option vfrom: the plank was also;
■»*■, mft if in i" " " ---...•—-■• •' ' "ii—n-ir-iimif
lost and the original .'report adopted.
The rest of the platform was '.adopted
and completed as follows: "•'•'.
THE PLATFORM." '
We commend the fidelity of President
Cleveland to the obligations of his high trust
and congratulate the country upon the econo
my, courage, honestyr and patriotism. of his
administration. We cordially. approve the
public land policy, of the president. Un
earned hind grants to the extent of millions
of acres have been restored to the public do
main and reserved for actual settlers oniv
and the attempts of cattle syndicates to iii-
Close and appropriate large tracts of the pub
lic lands to their own uses have been de
feated. A continuance of the Democratic
administration is a guarantee that not an
other acre shall be granted to speculators or
corporations. The civil service *of the
country has been placed upon a business
basis and federal ofliciuls no longer neglect:
the duties of their office for the
manipulation of- the party politics. The
public debt has been" steadily re
duced, and we favor a continuance" of the
policy of applying surplus revenues to the
payment of the debt as rapidly as possible.
We commend the efficiency, liberality and
impartiality of the pension department in
the adjustment of claims under the" present
laws, and we favor such further legislation
a* will make generous provisions for Union
soldiers and sailors, surrounding the same
with such safeguards and restrictions as will
prevent abuse by any who are not entitled to
the bounty of the government.
Second—We call upon congress for the im
mediate revision of our tariff laws to a reve
nue basis, to the end that every industry and
every section may enjoy perfect equality
under the law, and we favor the retention of
the internal revenue tax on intoxicating
liquors and tobacco, and protest against its
proposed reduction for the purpose of con
tinuing the present high tariff on the neces
saries of life.
Third— are in favor of continuing the
time honored, policy of the Democratic party
of welcoming to our shores the liberty loving
people of all lands who come here "to con
form to our laws and institutions, and. be
come citizens of this country, but insist that
stringent regulations be adopted and en
forced to exclude paupers, vicious and
criminal classes.
Fourth— noble and manly efforts of
Gladstone, Parnell and their associates in
behalf»of the cause of representative govern
ment for Ireland commands our unqualified
approval.
Fifth—We commend the action of the
Democratic members of the twenty-first
general assembly in supporting the Cassett
bill, and the bill against the holding of lands
by resident aliens, and we pledge our
candidates to the support of these measures
in the next legislature.
Sixth—The vigorous prosecution of faith
less officials and those who have corrupted
them now being conducted by Democratic
prosecuting officers in New York and Chi
cago, is a hopeful sign of a reform of public
morals and we believe the same measure of
iustice that is visited upou bribery of local
boards should be visited upon the same of
fense when committed in state and national
legislatures.
Seventh— favor such legislation by con
gress as will.make all corporations for pur
poses of litigation residents and citizens of
the stale in which they do business.
Eighth—We are opposed to all sumptuary
legislation and in favor of the rej>eal of the
present prohibitory liquor law and substitu
tion in its stead of a local option and care
fully guarded license law with a minimum
license fee ot $500 for the better control of
the liquor traffic. '** ~. -. '*■■':■.]?'',:. ';'■'-. :.
Nine—We believe that railroad companies
are public corporations, ana therefore sub- i
ject to, public control. We demand such
legislation ny congress' and the state legisla- |
ture as will apply to state and interstate |
transportation of freight and passengers the '
principles of the Beagau bill, viz.: All rates
shall be reasonable and shall be made public.
No discriminations against individuals or
localities, no rebates or drawbacks, the same
charge for the same service to all persons,
and no higher charge for a less than for a
greater service. Prohibition of pooling in
every form. Equal facilities and opportuni
ties to all shippers. We oppose the free
transportation of any and favor the cheap
transportation of all." We believe that first
class roads can profitably carry passengers at
'1 cents per mile, and we demand a law re
stricting them to such charge. We are op
posed to special tribunals for the settlement
of railroad questions, ana especially to such
tribunals having power to suspend "the laws
of the land. We therefore favor the abolition
of all such tribunals, and believe that the or
dinary courts of the country should be vested
with full power to enforce the just obliga
tions of the companies, and to award ade
quate damages to persons injured by their
violation.
Tenth— Every citizen of the state is en
titled to vote. aud his vote should be as ef
fective as the vote of any other citizen. We
denounce as in violation of this inherent
right and as a practical disfranchisement of
the majority of our people the infamous ger- j
rymander made by the Republicans in the
last general assemby, by which a small mi
nority of the people were vested with full
control of the law-making power, and- we
pledge our best endeavors to restore repre
sentation awarding to the population the
right of the •majority to rule. We cordially
invite the co-operation with us of all persons
in accord with these principles in our en
deavor to carry them into effect.
Eleventh—Resolved, That we favor such
legislation as will grant to employes of cor
porations liberty to buy of whom "they please.

BEN BUTLER.
He Advocates Greenback ism and
Confederate Pensions.
Boston, Sept. L—The Butler club
banquetted Gen. B. F. Butler to-night,
on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the
capture of Hatteras. A large number
of the general's friends were. present,
including Mayor O'Brien, Hon. George
S. Boutwell, Gen; William Cogswell,
Hon. N. A. Plympton, Gen. Stephen
Thomas, Gen. Cilley. Department Com
mander Nash, Corporal Tanner and
many other well .known, gentlemen.
Gen. Butler in ■ a speech - advocated
Greenbackism and declared every the
ory of finance he had ever held
had eventually .been ..adopted.
He blamed the Democratic party for
the accumulation of the vast surplus in
the treasury and the impairment of the
country's business interests. The sur
plus ought to be used in paying service
pensions to Union soldiers, and after
they had all been provided for, the .
country should devote the surplus to
administering to the interests of the
DISABLED CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS.
They were not to blame for the war,
but only suffered from it. [Applause.]
He had advanced this in congress seven
teen years ago, and been much abused
for it. Mayor O'Brien was " next intro
duced and made a' brief speech; Corp.
Tanner, the next speaker, heartily- in
dorsed Gen. Butler's scheme for a serv
ice pension. He thought President
Cleveland made a great mistake in
not going, to St. Louis. If a
few offered him insult the great mass of
the Grand Army would take these men
by the throat and silence them for ever.
[Great applause.] The Grand " Army of .
the Republic, he said, will never refuse
loyalty to -the 1: man '■ who occupies the
seat made immortal^ by Lincoln. -Hon.
Leopold Morse- also i.spoke,, and letters
were read from Gen." Sherman, Senator
Mahone and other, prominent men. ■■ •

LO, THE POOR INDIAN,
Investigation of His Recent
Troubles at the White
Earth Reservation.
What the Beaulieu Family
Did—The Agent's Vigor
ous Self Defense.
Horrible Butchery of a Young
Woman Not Far From
Redfield, Dak.

The Militia at Huron Hav
ing a Good Time.
Special to the Globe. . .
Detroit, Minn., Sept, I.—The United
States committee on the investigation
of Indian affairs returned from White
Earth this evening and resumed its ses
sion here this morning. The county
authorities granted the committee the
use of the court house, and the large
rooms of that building were filled with
interested spectators during all of the
day. So far nearly all the testimony
that has been taken has been in refer
ence to the difficulties existing between
the Beaulieus and Maj. Sheehan, the
Indian agent, out of which have grown
many of the recent troubles which have
arisen on the reservation. The first
witness to testi.y to-day was Theodore
11. Beaulieu. Beaulieu is a half-breed
Chippewa, and previous to the appoint
ment of Sheehan as agent was a teacher
on the reservation. Shortly after Shee
han's appointment Beaulieu applied for
a position as teacher and Sheehan prom
ised to use his influence to secure him
the position. Bealieu claimed that
Sheehan acted in bad faith and pre
ferred false charges against him, Beau
lieu, at Washington. Subsequently
Beaulieu was removed from the reser
vation by order of Commissioner Up
ham, upon representations made to the
department by Sheehan. The witness
introduced letters, papers and docu
ments to show that charges had been
preferred by Sheehan without any
grounds. Witness then gave an account
Of his attempt to establish and
miNT A NEWSPAPER
upon the reservation and the confisca
tion of his outfit by Agent Sheehan.
Witness stated that in .the distribution
of the government bounty he and his
family had failed to obtain from Maj.
Sheehan their just share. Sheehan had
persecuted him in a manner almost
beyond endurance. Sheehan had inter
fered with their social gatherings, and
had prevented certain of the chiefs
from attending the ice carnival last
winter. Beaulieu is very intelligent,
and a number of sharp passages
oecmredjbetween him and Maj. Sheehan
when cross examined by the latter. On
one occassipn when asked by Sheehan
if with his education and itelligence he
was not ashamed to be a ward of the
government, he rose from his seat and
with flashing eyes exclaimed, that he
had long waited for the time when he
might face Maj. Sheehan before the bar
of justice and plead his grievances,
there, rather than to be obliged to sub
mit them to a tyrannical and over-bear
ing master. Beaulieu was subjected to
a very rigid cross examination by Maj.
Sheehan, but the force of his statement
was very little shaken. Gits A.
Beaulieu testified that he was a deputy
United States marshal and as such had
in many cases notified Sheehan of the
misconduct of certain Indian police
who had been drunk at Detroit, and
that Sheehan had paid no attention to
these complaints. At this point Maj.
Sheehan made several statements in
explanation, and was subjected to the
most
RIGID CROSS EXAMINATION
by Senator Morgan as to his interpreta
tion of the orders from the department
respecting the removal of the Beaulieus.
Senator Morgan— it true, Maj. shee
han. that in your administration you have
sought to impress the Indians under your
control with mi idea of your own power and
greatness, and have not tried to cultivate
their rented?
Maj. Sheehan—No, sir. I have tried to im
press them with tire idea that I am their serv
ant, and in order to secure peace and har
mony I have at times lost sight of personal
interests. Jlaj. Sheehan then rose, and with
a voice trembling with emotion, said: "I
feel that 1 am on trial before the highest tri
bunal in the land. My life is no dearer to me
than my honor."
Senator Morgan, interrupting—Your name,
not your honor.
Sheehan, continuing— am now confronted
by charges which come to mv knowledge for
the first time. I cannot meet them at this
late hour. My witnesses are 100 miles away.
Here are 200 pages of testimony taken, and
charges made before Senator Morgan, in
Washington, while I was not present, with
out my knowledge and which I have never
seen until the present moment. ".
Senator Morgan, interrurting—The commit
tee is not to be treated with arrogance by this
agent. We are not trying you, Mr. Sheehan.
Ibelieue that the department is trying to
shield you in this matter. Why they should
not have furnished you . with copies of the
testimony and charges is not my business nor
the the business of the committee.
Bey. J. A. Gilfillan being called.stated
that every Indian agent at White Earth
had been
FOUGHT AND OPPOSED
by the Beaulieus t» the demoralization
of the rest of the Indians. The general
feeling among the Indians is that Shee
han is a good and faithful agent. - His
acts are all governed by one thing—a
desire to do the most good to all men.
Senator Morgan—Does your creed recom
mend, then, au old man seventy-six years
old and his wife should be torn "apart and
banished by order of law?
Gilfillan—l think the welfare of 1,500 peo
ple outweighs the liberty of one man.
Senator Morgan—l 6 that Christianity or
law? *P4t&
Gilfillan—Christianity.
Paul Beaulieu and others were sworn,
and they substantially corroborated Gil
fillan's statement that the Indians were
friendly and well disposed toward Shee
han. The committee finished its inquiry
this evening, and leaves for the Turtle
mountain reservation by special car in
the morning. The feeling generally
prevails here that Sheehan has been a
faithful officer, and it is due to him -to
say that being unrepresented by counsel
he has conducted his case before the
committee alone and unaided. He was
submitted to a scathing cross-examina
tion by Senators Dawes and Morgan,and
through?, it all clearly and frankly ex
plained his conduct in the administra
tion of affairs at White Earth.
Infected Cattle.

Mandan, Dak., Sept. I.—The health
officers who examined the diseased cat
tle at liichardton say suspicious symp
toms attach . to -. two herds pointing to

BUTCHERED.
The Horrible Fate of a Young
Woman Not Far From Redfield,
Dak.
Special to the Globe.
Redfield, Dak., Sept. 1. — Com
missioner Bushell and County Attorney
Sterling, of Northville, brought to
town this morning the details of the
most brutal and atrocious murder that
ever shocked the community. The
particulars were revealed upon an ex
amination conducted by the coroner, who
was summoned upon a report that the
victim had suicided, which theory has
been current upon our streets since
Tuesday morning. Clara Reidel, the
murdered - girl, was about twenty
years of age, and lived with
her brother- and sister on a
farm about four miles southwest
of Northville. The two last named
were absent on Monday assisting a
neighbor, about two miles, away, in
threshing. On returning, about* 7 in
the evening, they discovered the house
on fire, and breaking in the door.the dead
girl lying on the bed. her right side be
ing already much charred. Beside her
on the bed lay a gun belonging to the
house, one barrel of which was still
loaded and in the same condition it had
been since Saturday. These evidences
gave rise to the rumor first current,
and came near satisfying the coroner's
jury, but the district attorney, believ
ing he discovered
:• TRACKS OF STRANGULATION,
insisted on a more thorough inquiry. A
post mortem was then held, when, par
tially hidden .by the charred remains,
was discovered a dagger thrust laying
the chest bare. The heart was found to
be literally, cut in:two. the knife pene
trating the liver, cleaving the skin
from the neck, where fingermarks were
distinctly traceable, removing all doubt
that the girl was first strangled and
then butchered. The fiend to cover his
crime then set fire to the house and
tied. The remains are so
badly scarred that it could
not to be determined, but later . investi
gation may show that the unfortunate
victim suffered even a worse fate than
death. The county board to-day offered
a reward of *?f*oo for testimony that
would lead to the conviction of the per
petrators, and no effort will be made to
ferret out the crime.
TIMBER CUTTING.
A Case in Which Two Sorts of
Stories Are Told.
Washington, Sept. I.—The secretary
of the interior has received from Pres
ident Harris, of the Northern Pacific
Railroad company, a communication
dated Aug. 21), in which he states that
he is advised that Special Agent Frost,
of the general land office, . has closed
certain sawmills which "were. manu
facturing lumber cut from" pub
lic lands for the construction
of the Cascade branch of
that road, claiming that the work now
being done does not come under the
head of "original construction," as con
templated by the law. President Harris
states that this timber is required for a
tunnel now in process of construction,
and for snow sheds on the line now in
operation, and that it is clear that the
company has the same right to cut tim
ber on the unsurveyed lands for these
purposes .as for bridges and ties.
He asks that Agent Frost be di
rected not to interfere with the con
tractors who are ? cutting timber from
lands adjacent to the line of the road.
President Harris' letter was referred to
the commissioner of the general land
oriice for report, in response to v h'ch
Acting Commissioner Stockslager trans
mits a telegram from! Agent Frost in
which he states that the agents of the
Northern Pacific company and a num
ber of saw mill ■■ companies are rapidly
devastating the public lands of their
valuable material without regard to
the : rules : and regulations of
the land department, unless at once put
a stop to, the damage to the government
will be: irreparable. The acting com
missioner recommends that the attorney
general be requested to at once take
snch steps as may be necessary to fully
protect the interests of the government.
Acting upon this suggestion, Acting
Secretary Muldrow has requested the
attorney general to direct the United
States attorney for Washington terri
tory to take prompt action in the mat
ter, having due regard to the rights of
the railroad company under the law.

Condition of the Crown Prince

ligence.
By Cable to the Globe.
London, Sept. I.—A great howl has
been raised over the Dublin executive
proclamation of the proposed meeting
at Ballycoree, County Clare, next Sun
day, and the indignation felt at the gov
ernment's action is by no means confined
to Irishmen. Mr. Dillon in the house of
commons to-night scathingly denounced
the spirit in which the proclamation
was promulgated and defiantly ..chal
lenged the government to find any just
ification whatsoever for the act. The
meeting, he said, was called solely for
the purpose of expressing the thanks of
the people to Mr. Gladstone and his ad
herents for their efforts in the cause of
securing Irish rights. If the people of
Ireland, he said, were not to be allowed
to publicly express gratitude for the
sympathy of those who appreciated
their miserable condition, nothing more
was needed to show that they were per
secuted and oppressed beyond endur
ance. However, he declared, the meet
ing would be lield in spite of the proc
lamation, and its promoters, abettors
and sympathizers would ; J
'CHALLENGE THE GOVERNMENT
to impeach its lawfulness. Mr. j Dillon
will be present at the meeting, and will,
be accompanied on his journey to Bally
coree'by Mr. Labouchere and other Eng
lish members of parliament, who will
also attend the meeting in order to give
their testimony to the injustice of the
attempts to suppress it. A large num
ber of English Liberal and Radical
members of the house of commons have
given their promise to visit and speak
iii Ireland during the recess, i and their
protests against the tactics of the Tory
government will, it is expected, produce
a profound impression upon the minds
of the English electors. Although the
meeting at Ballycoree has been formally
proclaimed, it is not. believed that it
will be interfered with, but it will quite
likely be follewed -by the issuance of
summonses for the leaders and princi
pal? speakers,, and many persons are
curious to know whether any ;of the
English visitors "will be included among
those ordered to appear before the resi
dent magistrates.. The dispute between
England and Belgium over the ;
fisheries question • :.:\"
is assuming a serious phase. The gov
ernment is now inclined to resent the
treatment to which English fishermen
have been subjected by the Belgians
and will insist upon their receiving fair
play. Preliminary to any official meas
ures of a more drastic character to se
cure what are h uld to be the rights of
the English fishermen in the North sea,
alleged to be controlled by Belgium, Sir
Edward Berbeck. member of parlia
ment for East Norfolk, will undertake,
.unofficially, to obtain redress for the
British fishermen by resorting to meth
ods of arbitration, and has some hopes
of. success. Should he fail, however,
the matter will be adjusted to the satis
faction of England, at least, through
"the persuasive power of English men of
war. The French

result in an enormous increase, of busi

A Lively Debate Over a Pro
.'-;.".': claimed Irish Meeting.
j London, Sept. I.— the house of
commons this evening Mr. Dillon, Na
. tionalist, moved to adjourn in order to
direct attention to the proclaiming of a
meeting announced to be held at Clare.
The -proposed meeting, he said, was a
perfectly : legitimate one, and the
people, would insist upon holding
it.] Any disorder or bloodshed that
resulted would be on the head
-of* the government. The. rack
renting, exterminating, ruffianly land
lords who feared public opinion wanted
bloodshed. He would tell them that the
meeting would be held whether there
was bloodshed or . not. Mr. Balfour,
chief secretary for Ireland, said lie
feared that the speech of Mr. Dillon
would not fail to have the evil effect of
inflaming the people. In proclaiming
the Clare meeting the government had
only? followed the example of Earl
Spencer, who had invariably suppressed
public meetings whenever he thought
they would be likely to lead to disturb
ance;.- The district in which this meet
ing was announced to be held was the
most disturbed district in Ireland,
where by far the largest proportion of
;.■ ? . . AGRARIAN CRIME ■
was committed. The action of the gov
ernment was not due to pressure from
landlords. As to the responsibility for
what might happen if the proclamation
should be denied, that would not rest
upon the government, which was acting
through a desire to preserve the peace,
but upon those who advised the people
.to resist the laws.. [Cheers.] Mr. Healy
asked the house to consider what the pro
clamation meant. He said it meant the
stopping of the people's utterance when
their voice should be loudly heard. The
people's only chance during the coming
; winter of getting fair play lay in -their
boldly assembling in public. E. Robert
son (Liberal) read. Justice: Stephen's
definition of an unlawful assembly, and
contended that - the: proposed meeting
.•-id not i come within that ~definition.
■ T. P. O'Connor ' said he considered that
the proclamation simply meant that the
| government had proclaimed war against
r the Irish people.: The motion to adjourn
: was rejected—97 to 61.1' Mr. Balfour,' re
' plying ■to Mr. Healy's • question sasf to
--, ■ ■ .—— ; ■
what steps had been taken in . view of
: America's objection to receiving pauper
immigrants, said that the government
would allow no more money for the
transportation of such persons during
the remainder of the year. '
: The Daily News, referring to the
proclamation of the proposed meeting
at Ennis, says it hopes that the,promot
ers of the meeting will be content to
protest by formally assembling and
then quietly dispersing, if called upon
to do so. "They will thus," adds the
News, "put the government wholly in
the wrong."

to his animosity to Gen. Logan, and his
attitude in the Fitz John Porter case.
The only western state that Gen. Slo

Atlanta, Ga., Sept. Gov. Gordon
has received information from Dodge
county of a case of brutality to the con
victs in Degress camp" which has been
unearthed by the Dodge county grand
jury. At that camp, where fifty con
victs are worked, the superintendent's
name is Bryant. One of the convicts
was made to work by the fire. He com
plained of being sick, but with the lash
Bryant compelled him to keep at work
until at last the convict fell dead at his
feet. The jury has indicted Bryant for
murder, but he heard of it and escaped
into Alabama. The other convicts were
equally badly treated. Another case
was that of a negro who escaped from
the camp. The managers supposed that
he would make his escape by the rail
road and sent a guard to intercept him.
The guard went to a cut below the sta
tion where there had been an old mill.
After some time he heard the clinking
of chains and knew that the negro was
coming. The negro came in sight and
was shot dead. The guard said he hailed
the negro and he ran. This statement
was controverted by the fact that every
shot was fired into the negro's breast in
front.

out to sell his horse and
wagon, but failing to do so returned
home at noon. His wife and daughter
were washing clothes when he came in.

body of the daughter. Both fell bleed
ing to the 1, floor, - and the would-be
murderer then turned coolly from the
house and started down' the street.".'- Be

himself.- Mrs. Joyce is unconscious

and another in her hip. Her condition

and proclaimed his innocence after he
had been brought upon the scaffold,
'ihe execution took place in
the annex t the penitentiary,
and about fifty persons witnessed it.
He slept up to 11 p. m. and then ate a
lunch, and after smoking, was ready to
proceed to the scaffold. His exhibition
of nerve was something wonderful and
those who had seen many hangings
before stated that they .had never
witnessed one in which -there was so
much quiet ■ determination ' exhibited.
The body will be sent to Pomeroy for
burial. The crime was the . murder of
Cliarles Phelps, about sixty years of
age, / who lived near Pome
roy, Meigs county. The murder was
supposed to have been committed
on the Oth of January last, when Phelps
was seen for the last time alive. He
was discovered two days later lying on
the floor of his hut, with his feet to the
fire and his head frozen in a pool of
blood to the floor. The murderer had
evidently entered the house and struck
Phelps unawares and then plunged a
knife into his throat, as a cash was cut
half way across his neck. "An overcoat
and hand glass with several dollars in
money had been taken, the former
being found in the possession
of Terrill when he was ar
rested. Phelps was a harmless
and inoffensive old man,being a cripple,
and it is supposed he was murdered for
his money, as he had been robbed the
August previous. He was a miser : and
accumulated his small earnings. Ter
rill was convicted wholly on circum
stantial evidence, the stolen articles
being found in his possession aud posi
tively identified. *

The Saco Bank Robbery.
Saco, Me., Sept. Some of the

think he is deranged. They say he has
been acting very queerly, and has com
plained of head trouble. He has been
living beyond his means ever since he
has worked in the bank. He wore good
clothes, often hired livery stable teams,
and always had plenty of spending
money. Some bills he left unpaid, to
gether with sundry amounts borrowed
from friends. A few days ago when

to abuse his honor, calling him a tool of
political cliques. The mayor, who is a
much smaller man than Polsdorfer, re
torted sharply, upon which the latter
made a threatening gesture. .His honor
at once let fly his fist, drawing a liberal
supply of claret from the powderman's
nose. The two men clinched and a
rough-and-tumble battle ensued, from
the sidewalk to the street, and the

a circular giving a reduction of cable
rates. On and after Sept. 15, 1887, the
tariff will be 12 cents per word to Great
Britain, Ireland and France, and 15
cents per word to Germany. At a meet
ing of the directors of the company it
was resolved to increase the capital
stock from $4,0C0,000 to $0,000,000. C. G.
Ward, secretary and general manager
of the company, said the additional $2,
--000,000 became necessary on account of
recent expenses. The company have
made great improvements lately and
have added extensively to their plant.
A great deal of expense was incurred
also in laying a new cable from Water

porter this afternoon if there was anj
truth in the rumors that the West ere
Union Telegraph company intended
