Frank Morris, aged eighteen years, was hanged at Uniontown, Pa., yesterday at 1:30 p.m. for the murder two years ago of Bernard Loker, a farmer of Chest- nut Ridge, just above Connellsville. The object was robbery. Morris was a neigh- bor, and believed Loker had money secreted about his house. While Loker was at work alone on his farm, Morris stepped up be- hind him and shot him in the head. He then ransacked the house, but only got $38. He was arrested the next day. The mur- derer was a cheap novel fiend, and at no time showed any particular concern about his fate. VIRGINIA GOOD TEMPLARS Gratifying Reports at the Grand Lodge Meet- ing at Danville.

DANVILLE, Va., September 2.—The Grand Lodge of Good Templars of Virginia com- menced its twenty-ninth annual session here last night in Municipal Hall.

Hout, grand chief templar of the state. Other interesting exercises also took place. The homes of the good Feople of this city are thrown wide open to delegates to the session.

The Grand Lodge degree was conferred on a large number of new members. Grand Chiefs Report. The report of Rev.H.L.Hout, grand chief templar, was lengthy and contained matter of great importance relative to the work of temperance in the state. The report shows ccnsiderable lecture work done and new lodges organized. Only a lack of funds to prosecute the work vigorously prevented a jarge increase in the membership. He rec- ommends the continued publication of the Good Templar News as the official organ of the Grand Lodge, commends the plan of district lodges and suggests their encour- agement and _ sustenance: The juvenile temple work is specialty referred to. He recommends the selection of a man for grand chief templar who can give his entire time to the lecture work; also that the of- ficial visitation to the lodges be continued, that the capitation tax be raised to 15 cents per quarter per member, and that frequent public meetings be held by the subordinate lodges and the order brought more pron- inently before the public. The report was referred to the committee on state of the order. Grand Secretary"s Report. Grand Secretary Geo. W. Hawxhurst re- perted the numerical and financial status of the Grand Lodge.

The sum of $230.43 was voluntarily contrihuied by the lodges for the lecture work of the or- der in the state. There are seven district lodges actively at work in the jurisdiction. The report of the grand superintendent of juvenile temples, Miss Sudie Fitzgerald, shows a membership of S09 in twenty-four temples. The report recommends a more liberal appropriation for this work among the children The order of Good Templars was established in Virginia in 1867 by the institution of Pioneer Lodge, No. 1, at Falls Church, which is still in existence. 1t has spread all over the state and its life-long pledge of total abstinence from the use of intoxicating liquors as a beverage has been administered to 26 people.

The Clerk of the State Senate Talks Over the Situation, Among the callers 2t democratic congres- sional headquarters today was Mr. Joseph Button, clerk ef the Virginia senate and secretary of the state democratic commit- tee. Mr. Button gives an encouraging re- port of the outlook for democratic success in the old dominion. When asked as to the probabie majority for Bryan, he said: “It is a very difficult thing to figure upon ma- jorities so far in advance, but there seems to be no doubt of its equaling, if not ex- ceeding the majority given for Mr. Cleve- lend tour years ago. Mr. Cleveland’s plu- rality over Harrison was upward of 50,000, and his majority over Hurrison and Weaver Was 38,00U, notwithstanding the fact that his financial policy was very unpopular in Virgima and in direct conflict. with the v.ews of the democratic party of the state as expressed in their various platforms for many years pas' “With tne exception of some bolting in the cities, the party is in better shape and more enthusiastic than it has been for years,” continued Mr. Button. “I have vis- ited every county in our congressional dis- trict exc>pt two, in the capacity of chair. man of the district committee, and I have never sven it in better shape. he disaf- fection is very small, while we have gained many republican and populists votes. The nominee in that district, State Senator H. D. Flood, is one of the boldest and most aggressive young democrats in the state. His career has been a series of political successes. Although not yet thirty-one years of age, he has been elected twice io the house of delegates, twice to the senate ard twice elected commonwealth’s attor- rey of his native county of Appomattox. He was first elected to the house of dele- gates when only twenty-one years of age, and was the first democrat for years to be elected to ary office in the county. He has the distinction of never having been beaten by a political opponent. He is making an active canvass and will be elected by a large majority. “I saw Senator Daniel in Lynchburg yes- terday in regard to the campaign, and he will take the stump as soon as he gets through the trial of the law case that took tim to England, which will be next week. He returned home last Sunday in the best of health, after a six weeks’ sojourn abroad, curing which time he gathered a great deal ~ data which will be a valuable contribu- tion to the silver cause. He brought with him several English silver pieces, amonz them the rupee of India, of which we hear so much. This little coin passes in India for its face velue, which is about 40 cents, and will buy there now, as it always has dcne, a bushel of wheat. The English gov- ernment buys our silver bullion at 68 cents an oun>2 and coins {it into rupees, and, by putting its stamp upon it, doubles its value. This, of course, brings the agricultural pro- ducts of India in direst competition with the products of our farms. Thus it is seen why England desires to further reduce the Lrice of American silve ————_. Robberies Reported.
