The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, June 30, 1896, Page 2

o “ THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JUNE 80U, 1896, and intimately connected with their proper settlement. Great are the isspes involved in the coming election and eager and earnest the people for | their right determination. Our domestic trade must be won back and our idle working-people employ~d in gainful accupations at American wages. Our home market must be restored to its proud rank of first in the world, and our foreign trade, so precipitately cut off by ad- verse National legislation, reopened on fair and equitable terms for our surplus agricul- tural and manufactured proaucts. Prétec- tion and reciprocity, twin measures of a true American policy, should again command the earpest encouragement of the Government at Washington. Public confidence must be re- sumed and the skill, the energy and the capi- 1al of our country find ample employment at home, sustained, encouraged and defended sgainst the unequal competition and disaa- vantges with which they are now contending. The Government of the United States must raise enough money to meet its currentex- penses and increasing needs. Its revenve should be so raised as to protect the material interests of our people, with the lightest pos- sible drain upon their resources, and maintain that high standard of civilization which has distinguished our country for more than a cen- tury of its existence. The income of the Government, I repeat, should equal its necessary and proper expen- ditures. A failure to pursue this policy has compelied the Government to borrow money, in & time of peace, to sustain itscreditand pay its daily expenses. This policy should be reversed, and that, too, as speedily as possible. It must be apparent to all, regardless of past party ties or afiliations, that it is our par- amount duty to provide adequate revenue for the expenditures of the Government economi- cally and prudently administered. This the Republican party has heretofore done, and this I confidently believe it will do in the fu- ture, when the party isagain intrusted with power in th® executive and legislative branches ol our Government. The National credit, which has thus far fortunately resisted every assaultupon it, must and will be upheld and strengthened. If sufficient revenues are supplied for the sup- port of the Government there will be mo necessity for borrowing money and increasing the public debt. The complaint of the people is not against the administration for borrow- ing money and issuing bonds to preserve the credit of the country, but against the ruinous policy which has made this necessary, owing to the policy which has been inaugurated. The inevitable effect of such & policy is seen in the deficiency in the United States treas- ury, except as it is replenished by loans, and in the distress of the people, who are suffering because of the scant demand for either their labor or the products of their labor. Here is the fundamental trouble, the remedy for which is Republican opportunity and duty. | During all the years ot Republican control fol- lowiug resumption there was a steady reduc- tion of the public debt, while the gold reserve was sacredly maintained and our currency and credit preserved without depreciation, taint or suspicion. If we would restore this policy that brought us unexampled prosperity for more than thirty years under the most trying condi- tions ever known in this country, the policy by which we made and bought more goods at home and sold more abroad, the trade balante would be quickly turned in our favor and gold would come to us and notgo from us in the settlement of all such balances in the future. The party that supplied, by legislation, the vast revenues for the conduct of our greatest war, that promptly restored the credit of the country at its close, that from its abundant revenues paid off a large share of the debt in- curred in this war, and that resumed specie payments and placed our papsr currency upon s sound and enduring basis, can be safely trusted to preserve both our creditand cur- rency with honor, stability and inviolability. The American people hold the financial honor of our Government as sacred as our flag, and can be relicd upon to guard it with the same sleepless vigilance. They hold its preserva- tion above party fealty, and have often demon- strated that party ties avail nothing when the spotless credit of our country is threatened. The money of the United States, and every kind or form of it, whether of paper, silver or gold, must be as good as the best in the world. It must not only be current at its full face value &t home, but it must be counted at par in sny snd every commercial center of the globe. The sagacious and far-seeing policy of the great men who founded our Goverment, the teachings and acts of our wisest financiers at every stage in our history, the steadfast faith and splendid achievements of the great party to which we belong, and the genius and integrity of our pedple have always demanded this and will ever maintain it. The doliar paid to the farmer, the wage-earner and the pensioner must continue forever equal in pur- chasing and debt-paying power to the dollar Ppaid to any Government creditor. The contest this year will not be waged upon lines of theory and speculstion, but in the light of severe practical experience and new and dearly acquired knowledge. The great body of our citizens know what they want, and that they intend to have. They know for what the Republican party stands and what its return to power means to them. They realize that the Republican party believes that our work should be done at home and not sabroad, and everywhere proclaim their devo- tton to the principles of a protective tariff, whica, while supplying adequate revenues for the Government, will restore American pro- duction and serve the best interests of Ameri- can labor and development. Our appeal therefore is not to a false philosophy of vain theorists, but to the masses of the American people, the plain, practical people whom Lin- coln loved and trusted and whom the Repub- lican party has always faithfully striven to serve. The platiorm adopted by the National Republican Convention has received my care- ful consideration and has my unqualified ap- proval. Itisamatter of gratification’ to me, s Iam sure it must be to you and Republicans everywhere, and to our people everywhere, that the expression of its declaration of prin- ciples are so direct, clear and emphatic. They are too plain and positive to leave any chance for doubt or question as to their purport and meaning. But you will not expect me to dis- cuss its provisions at length or in any detail at this time. It will, however, be my duty and pleasure at some future day to make to you, and through you to the great party you rep- resent, 8 more formal acceptance of the nomi- nation tendered me. No one could be more profoundly grateful than I for the manifestation of public confi- dence of which you have 8o eloquently spoken. 1t shall be my aim to attest this appreciation by an unsparing devotion to whatI esteem the best interests of the people, and in this work I ask the counsel and support of you, gentlemen, and of every other iriend of the country. The generous expressions with which you, sir, convey the official notice of my nomination are highly appreciated and as fully reciprocated, and I thank you and your asssociates of the notification committee and the great party and convention at whose in- stance you come for the high and exceptional distinction bestowed upon me. Major McKinley read his speechin a clear, far-reaching voice. He was listened to intently. He was compelled to halc several times by reason of the loud ap- plause and cheers. After McKinley’s speech H. H. Smith of Michigan presented to him the gavel used by Chairman Thurston of the, St. Louis Convention. At the end of the speeches the notifica- tion committee sat down to luncheon, which was served in a large tentin tiie rear of the lawn. While the notification committee was at lunch the Columbus delegation, 400 strong, marched up. Congressman D. K. Watson of Columbus made a speech in behalf of the visiting delegation. Major McKinley made a graceful response and presented several members of the notification com- mittee. The first was Senator Thurston. He was greeted with hearty cheers and made a brief speech, in the course of which he said: *‘Four years ago the Democratic party said to the American people: ‘Give us iree trade and pew industries and fac- tories will open,’” but they closed. They said: ‘Give us free trade and there will be increased employment for American men.’ but there was increased idleness instea They said: ‘Give us tree trade and Wages will rise,’ but they failed to rise. They said: “Give us free trsde and business will boom," but it busted. [Laugh- ter and applause.] To-day, in the lisht of their past experiences it is abso- lutely necessary to abandon their old posi- tion, and they now say, ‘Give us free sil- ver, and all these glorious results will fol- low.” Don’t you think that in the light of their past reputation and bankruptcy you had better have a little collateral se- curity before you accept their new promise of American prosperity? The Republican perty stands for a dollar in which there shall be an American eagle, but with no feathers dragged in the dust. [Applause.] The Republican party declares that the labor which is to be done for the people of the United States shall be done by the people of the United States, under the Stars and Stripes.” [Cheers.] The crowd refused to disperse, so Major McKinley introduced ex-Senator Frank Hiscock and & number of other commit- temen, all of whom msde happy speeches. Henry L. Wilson of the State of Wash- ington said: “The Republicans of my section have been deeply interested in the subject of silver, but they recognize the fact that the Republicans of the United States assem- bled in one magnificent parliament are greater in their wisdom than the Repub- licans of any section.” Mark Hanna was called for frequently and vigorously during the afternoon. He finally appeared on the porch and said: “I am glad to meet you all—especially the ladies. [Cheers and laughter.] I have listened to the distinguished gentlemen who have addressed you with much in- terest, and who bear in mind the promises they have made, and will see toit that they perform their promises.” It was nearly 4 o’clock when the notifi- cation committee left Governor McKin- ley’s hospitable home, MR. MANLEY DECLINES. Cannot Accept the Sscretaryship of the National Exacutive Committee. CANTON, Onro, June 29.—J. H. Manley of Maine has written a letter declining to be secretary of the Republican National executive committee on the ground that the position ought to be held by some one more closely connected with Major Mc- Kinley. Colonel Osborne of Boston will probably be selected for the place. It is understood that Mr. Quay was offered the chairmanship of the same committee and that he declined to accept the honor. DISINTEGRATION CERTAIN, [ Continued from First Page.] no more rightfully demonetize one metal than it can both: and I believe that the constitution requires that measures shall be adopted by Congress which will enable the coins made from both metals to cir- culate side by side as part at least of our medium of exchange. I believe the United States should stand ready at ail times to co-operate with other nations in the estab- lishment of siiver as primary money by international agreement. I do not believe there is any hope whatever that further action on its part under present conditions would result in any good. 8il- ver was demonetized by the separate and independent action of each of the nations that struck it down. If it is ever remone- tized that aet, n my judgment, wiilbe accomplished in the same way. Some strong nation will set the example; others will follow.” Ex-Secretary Whitney, who is one of the shrewdest observers in the Democratic party, practically concedes the victory to the silver men and the disruption of the Democratic party. George W. Allen, delegate at large from Missouri, arrived tbis morning and took up his quarters at the Auditorium. When asked as to the chances of his favorite can- didate, Bland, he replied: “A silver cyclone has swept over the country and Bland is right in the center of it. He is the original silver man, and has fought the battles of the friends of the white metal for twenty-two years, having served continuaily in Congress auring that time. The Missouri delegates to a man have declared for him, and we will make a big showing when the Bland Club arrives. One 8t. Louis organization expects to send 2000 men here, and there will probably be another thousand from other parts of the State. “1 do not expect Whitney’s threat or manifesto to have any very serious effect, for he will find a different situation here from anything that has heretofore con- fronted him. If the silver men are in con- trol, as it now seems certain tbat they will be, they will have no trouble. The plat- form will be 16to 1 and no compromise. If there is a bolt from the convention it will not amount to much. Of course the gold men will have to bolt if they are not willing to support the ticket, but after they have put up as mnch of a front as possible I expect they will drop into line. The actual hard work at our headquarters will begin Wednesday; from then we will be a part of the show. Next Monday night we will have a big parade and the dele- gates can form some idea of Bland’s strength.”’ g Senator Shelby M. Cullom said that the Democrats were going to make fools of themselves just as they did in 1872: “Thev ~ill resolve in favor of free and unlim inage and they will nominate some crunk. I don’t know which crank, but some one out of the numerous herd— and then their party goes to pieces. The | Easterners will not stard the silver non- sense and, although we will lose some votes and some of the Western States, we will guin ten votes where we will lose one, and McKinley will be elected by an over- whelming majority.” Joux PAun COSGRAVE. APPEASING THE KNIGHTS. Boles’ Boomers Say Their Candl- . date Is All Right With the Labor Element. CHICAGO, IrL., June 20.—One of the incidents of the day was a conference of C. A. Walsh, secretary of the Iowa State Cen- tral Committee and a delegate-at-large, with Grand Master Workman Sovereign of the Knights of Labor, with - reference to the reported antagonism of ihe knights and other labor organizations toward Mr. Boies on account of his public utterances at the time of the great railway strike, upholding the action of President Cleve- land in sending soldiers to Chicago. The Boies boomers are aiso said to be con- cerned because they had heard of a peti- tion which was being signed by Chicago Democrats, addressed to the county cen- tral committee, urging them to take up arms against Boies on that account, for the purpose of keeping the Illinois delega- tion away from Iowa's candidate. Neither party to the conference would speak as to the result, but the Boies men said everything was all right with the labor people, and Mr. Walsh said: “There is absolutely no truth in these mlalry about trouble between Mr. Boies and or- ganized labor. Mr. Boies has been a good and consistent friend of labor, and he will bave the unstinted support of that ele- ment.” Ex-Mayor Hopkins, one of the gold- standard leaders in Cook County, said to- day that the gold men would appear before the National committee on creden- tials and demand the seating of their dele- gates in cases where contests existed. Ex-Senator John Martin, chairman of the Kansas delegation, arrived to-day from Topeka. He would not say what candi- date he favored, but declared the nominee would be a straight out free-silver man. Ha exclaimed as to the two-thirds ma- jority rule for the election of a nominee: “If I had my way about it the two-thirds rule would rot last a minute. The ma- jority ought to rule. Itis all a mistake to say that this rule is fastened on the party forever. The precedent was established in 1844 and then it was done to defeat Van Buren s a trick. Kansas is & unit for free silver. There was some gold Democrats in our State, but they were squarely beaten and in a manly way acknowledged it.” Congressman Towley said, when asked about the silver men’s attitude toward the two-thirds rule: “I think the two- thirds rule will stand. We can control two-thirds of the voting delegates. I think there is no ground for the apprehen- sion aroused on that score.” The figures compiled by the Bland managers gave ninety-eight delegates in- structed for the ‘‘silver-dollar’’ man, 123 vledged and 151 whom they have ‘‘reason to expect’’ will support him, Kentucky and Ohio being credited in the Bland col- umn on the second ballot. This makes a total of 372 votes claimed for Bland on the second ballot. Lo ol Ba ALLOTTING THE SPACE. All the Claimants for Seats In the Convention Cannot Be Accommodated. CHICAGO, Inr., June 2Y. — Messrs. Sheerin, Prather, Sherley, Wall and Wal- lace of the National sub-committee spent part of the day at the Colisseum, allotting the space to be used by the press associa- tions and the telegraph companies under the platform, and the “working press’” section, where provision has been made for 428 seats. . To-morrow the troublesome work of assigning the number of seats to be given the newspaperd of the country will engross the whole time of the sub- committee which has that in charge. “There are 2000 applications for these 428 seats,” said Committeeman Wallace of Washington to the United Press reporter to-night, “and there will be plenty of dis- appointed ones.” % Senator Turpie of Indiana arrived at the Palmer House this evening as the advance agent of Governor Claude Matthews. He came also to attend the meeting of the National bimetallic committee of the party, being a member of the central exec- utive committee. He had nothing new to say as to the strength and position of Indi- ana’s candidate for the Presidency, and in what he did say of the party situation financially he was “‘silver tongued.” To the compauy of distinguished Demo- crats at the Sherman House was added to- .night Senator Isham G. Harris of Tennes- see, chairman of the bimetalliccommi.tee. Two of the bolting Republican Senators, Pettigrew of South Dakota and Dubois of Idaho, were late arrivals at the Great Northern Hotel. They are here ostensibly in the interest of their leader in the seces- sion movement, Senator Teller, but they did not say anything new on that line for publication. The Idsho Senator sent a message to Governor Altgeld asking for a meeting, and there will probably be one beld to-morrow with the Illinois Demo- cratic silver leaders, when the caucus of the Illinos delegation comes off, to decide on the general plan of action in the cone vention. A kg PENNOYER IN THE RACE. Oregon Delegates WIIl Present His Name for the Nomination at Chicago. PORTLAND, Or., June 29.—Oregon’s eight delegates to the National Democratic Convention at Chicago will very likely present the name of ex-Governor Sylvester Pennoyer for the Presidency. It depends upon his chances for the nomination, which himself admits are slim. But if the fight between Bland, Boise and Bibiey ties up the convention and there is a chance to work Pennoyer in as a compromise candidate it will be done. The chief fight for Pennoyer will be made for the Vice-Presidential nomina- tion. The delegates consider that he stands the best chance and will argue that he is the natural connecting link with the Populists. He has just been elected Mayor of Portland by a large plurality, which gives him greater strength. Bpeak- ing about the nomination to-day he said: “I am not seeking the momination, be- cause there is little chance for a Western man, but there is an opportunity to secure the Vice-Presidential nomination.” Five of the Oregon delegates, who con- trol the eight through the unit rule, favor Sibley of Pennsylvania for first place, if there is no hope for Pennoyer. Unless some deal concerning Pennoyer for the Vice-Fresidency is made at Chicago, they will vote for Sibley. Their first choice for the ticket is Pennoyer and Sibley, while their second choice is Sibley and Penuoyer. They are all opposed to the nomination of Teller, insisting that the Democratic Con- vention must name a Democrat. All are, of course, for free silver, and will vote for such platform as Populists and silver Re- publicans will endorse. ARMY EBETIREMENTS, Several Presidio Officers Must Undergo Physical Examination. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 29.—Cap- tain Healy of the Bear, who was recently suspended from the revenue cutter ser- vice, has asked for leave of absence from the United States. It is his intention to visit St. Petersburg, Russia. It is understood in army circles that in fartherance of the policy of the War De- partment to find places in the army for ‘West Point graduates a large number of officers will soon be ordured before medi- cal boards with a view to their rétirement on appearance of physical disability. BSev- eral og'lcers of the Fifth Artillery, sta- tioned at the Presidio of San Francisco, will be ordered before the board. Lieutenant Lucien Young will leave here Thursday for San Francisco, whence he will sail for China to join the cruiser De- troit, to which he will be attached for the next two years at least. e Iron and Steel Wage Scale. PITTSBURG, Pa., June 20.—The iron and steel sheet wage scale was agreed upon and_signed by the manufacturers and workers to-day. As finally settled the scale is substantially the same as last year, although some modifications relating to the extras were made. The conference was harmonious. o Jewelry Thicves Sentenced. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 29.—Judge Cowing in the Court of General Sessions this morning sentenced William Turner and William Robert Dunlap to nine years each in the State Prison on their pf:a of guilty. They stole $60,000 worth of jew- om 1. Townsend Burden, ARE SKURRYING TOWARD CHIGAG, Silver Men Will Watch the the Proceedings of the Democrats, BIG MOVES TO BE MADE, Important Conferences of the Bi- metallic Leaders Are Arranged. SENATOR STEWART SILENT, But He Will Not Overlook Anything That Will Benefit White- Metal Champions. TON, D. C., June 29.—The coming week is going to be an eventful one politically. Many important moves will be made on the great political checker- board. Bkurrring toward Chicago to-day are else may be the nominee of the convention. He fayors Teller first, but does not declare that if Teller or Sibley is not nominated, he will favor another nominee by the combined silver conven- tion which meet at St, Lounis July 22, and to which he is a delegate from Nevada. The Senator, it is thought, is placing him- self where he can watch developments after the convention. Senator Stewart declined to discuss the proposition to give the Populists and sil- ver Republicans the second place on the Democratic ticket. C. C. CarLTON. MINISTEE YOUNG'S KETURN. to a Hospital in BSearch of Rest. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 29.—General Pierce M. Young, Minister to Honduras and Guatemala, arrived here on the steamer Advance last Monday, stayed one day at the Hotel Marlborough and then went to the Presbyterian Hospital. He took 2all precautions to keep his presence in the city a secret. At the hospital he gave instructions tbat all questioners should be informed that he was seeking rest. General Young is about 60 years of age, and distinguished himself “during the Civil War. 1In 1885 he was appointed Con- sul-General to St. Petersburg by President Cleveland, but resigned after remaining there for two yeara. In 1893 President Cleveland appointed him Minister to the two Central Xmerlcnn States. e g o For the Murder of His Wife. ATLANTA, Ga., June 29.—John Mec- Cullough, a farmer in Clayton County, was arrested yesterday charged with murder- ing his wife. Her body was found yester- day afternoon in a field. McCullough said that she had gone to pick berries, and sug- gested that she had been murdered by a negro. His neighbors, howerver, suspect that he killed her to get $2000 insurance on her life. Retires Governor John P. Altgeld of liiinois, Naming the Democratic Who Will Be a Powerful Factor in Presidential Candidate. many political leaderu of both sides, but the majority of them are silver men, billed to take part in various conferences during the week. The first of these conferences will be held to-morrow. It will be made up of membars of the Democratic Bimetal- lic League, of which Senator Harris is chairman, and one member of each State delegation. Senator Harris left Lere last night for Chicago. He declined to talk about his plans or plans of silver men. The meeting to-morrow was called some time ago by Senator Jones of Arkansas. The purpose of it is to go over the situa- tion and compare views. No effort, it 1s tnought, will be made to tnrn the confer- ence into a machine for the benefit of any man. The most important thing to be considered will be how best to resist the fight to be made by the gold-standard men under Whitney’s leadeisiip, and how best to unite the various siiver ele- ments under the Democratic banner. This is the most perplexing question before the sllver men. They want the support of sil- ver Republicans, Populists and all classes of silver men, and the object of various conferences throughout the coming week will be to decide the best plan to attain this end without sacrificing the principles of the Democratic party. The silver Democrats can easily find out what the Populists and silver Republi- cans want. The leaders of these parties will be in Chicago in droves. Senator Stewart will leave here for Chicago to- MOTrow. rY Dr. Mott, chairman of the American Silver Organization, will be there to-mor- row or next day. He has called a meet- ing of the Nationai Committee of his party to be held in Chiczgo. The object of the meeting is to lay before the Demo- cratic silver leaders what they want. It is even said that the committee will be on hand when the nomination is made 80 as to at once decide what will be the course of the silver party. General War- ner, the head of the same party, will also be on hand. Senators Dubois and Cannon and Representatives Allen, Hartman and Towne are expected to pe either close to Chicsgo or in close communication with that city. Representative Hartman’s plan some time ago was to take several hundred Western silver Republicans to the conven- tion. There will be hundreds of silver men in Chicago from now on who are not delegates. They will be there to confer with the silver majority in the conven- tion. The goid-standard leaders will not show up in large numbers till the end of the week, unless they change their plans. Mr. Whitney will leave New York Thurs- day. 1t is noticeable that all talk of com- promise comes from gold-standard men. 8o far not a silver leader has given out a word advocating compromise of any kind. There is a strong feeling among such men as Governor Altgeld and Senator Tiliman that it would benefit the Democratic ticket to have the gold men bolt the con- vention. That’s what they want, they say. It would removeall doubt, they claim, that the gold men haa anything to do with naming the nominee. There is azain talk about the gold men picking up Vice-President Stevenson as the compromise candidate. This talk was indulged in months ago. The opinion of Colone!l William R. Morrison is that a sil- ver man will be named. They rather think it will be Boies or Bland. =8enator Stewart will remain at Chicago until the Democratic Convention has acted, when he will pass juagment on the plat- form and nominees. He talked freely to- night, strongly advocating the nomination of Teller or of Sibley. It will be observed, however, from somewhat cautious remarks of the Senator that he does not say he will not support Bland or Boies, or whoever CAPSIZED OF THE LA Boys in a Beat Meet With a Fatal Disaster on Mas- sapoag. One Lad Rescues Another, but Others Are Drowned During the Confusion. SHARON, Mass., June 20.—What was intended to be a week’s enjoyable outing was brought to an abrupt and sad close at Lake Massapoag this afternoon. Assistant Pastor Rev. Joseph Maxwell, Choir- master Frederick Brackett, Clerk George R. Keyes and sixteen choirboys of St. John’s Episcopal Church, Charlestown, came to Sharon by team to-day to camp out at Lake Massapoag for a week. After dinner Mr. Brackett and six of the boys went out in & boat. A little boy named Parker fell overboard. Frank Cox, a bright little fellow of 13, immediately jumped after him, swam ashore, got a rope and by means of it, saved the Parker boy, but in the confusion resulting from the accident the boat was overturned and Mr. Brackett and the four other boys were thrown in the water. None of the party save the Cox boy could swim, and before help could reach them from the shore all five were drowned : The names of the drowned are: Fred- erick Brackett, Thomas Parker, Harry Lacker, William 8. Atkins, Benjamin Gibbs. — i FOUR BOYS DROWNED. Sad Accident on the Water Front of Boston. BOSTON, Mass., June 20.—One of the sadest accidents in the history of the Bos- ton water front occurred at Castle Island, off City Point, this afternoon. At about 2:30 o’clock seventy-five children were on a rickety, unsafe gangplank and float at the landing south of the bridge from the point to the island, when the float over- turned, the {limsy guard rails of the gang- plank split and thirty or more of the chil- dren were tumbled into the water. Four boys were drowned, four children were picked up unconscious and later revived, and the others as far as known were saved. The dead are: James S. Washburn, 9 years of age; James F. Cole, 11 years; Lawrence McDowell, 12 years; an un- known lad of about 12 years. The injured are: Lillian Duffy, 11 years; Harry Sampson, 10 years. To-day was to be observed as Farragut aay in South Boston, and in honor of the event the South Boston Historical Society had distributed a large number of buttons among the children, engithing them to a free ride on a sieamer from City Point to Castle Island. As a result during the afternoon, and so early did the fush begin that the police force detailed for afternoon duty at Castle 1sland had notarrived when the little steamer Eila, Captain E. W, Weber, arrived at the float ‘with a big list of children passengers from the point at 2:30 o’clock gnd began to un- load them on the float j{:t as fifty chil- dren on the granite pier started on arun down the gangplank to go aboard. The two crowds met, the float apset, the gang- plank split and the accident occurred. L P Killed by a Trotley Car. ATLANTA, Ga., June 29. — Herman Frankiin, 17 years old, was killed by a trolley-car at Pryor and Mitchell streets to-day. The boy was on his bicycle and went down the Mitchell hill rapidly, as he the little steamer was crowded on her trips wag on his way to a doctor to have his hand dressed, which had just been .cut. He did not see the Pryor-street car until it was within a few feet of Lhim. He could not swerve out of the way, and endeay- ored to cross the track in front of the ur.hlt struck bim and crusbed mm to death. S gy MR. BAYARD SPEAKS AGAIN. Unveiling Ceremony in England in Which the Embassador and Many Americans Participated. LONDON, ExcrLAND, June 29.—The town of Gainsborough, in Lincolnshire, was the scene to-day of a ceremony of interest to Americans. This was the unveiling of a memorial stone in the John Kobinson Church, so named after the Rev. John Robinson, “Pastor of the Pilgrim Fathers,” who, after severing his connection with the established churcia in 1614, connected himself with a body of dissenters in Gains- borough. Among those present were the Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, American Wmbassa- dor, and the American Pilgrins, who recently arrived in England for the pur- pose of visiting scenes of interest con- nected with the Pilgrims. When Mr. Bayard arrived he was pre- sented with an address of welcome from the Municipal Council, in replv to which he repeated the sentiments heretofore ex- pressed by him, and said that the entente between the United States and Great Britain was strengthened by such occa- sions as the present. He added that if there was anything un- patriotic in the sentiment he gave voice to, he was willing to meet and answer any charge that might be made against him. At iuncheon, after the toast oi ‘‘The Queen’’ had been drunk, Earl Brownlow, Lord Lieutenat of Lancashire, pronosed the toast, “The President of the United States,” to which Embassador Bayard made a felicitous response. He said there could be no higher aim for Anglo-American statesmanship than to preserve the condi- tions existing between America and Great Britain. I T DECEIVED BY A WIDOW. Postal Authorities Take a Hand in a| Spoiled Komance. NEW ORLEANS, La., June 29, —A unique violation of the postal law been developed. Postoffice Inspector Dye, in charge of this division, received a com- plaint against Mrs. Sophie Hoffman, a widow of Austin, Tex., charging that some time ago she beguiled a young man of an- other State by letter-writing to fall in love with her. Photographs were exchanged and marriage agreed upon. Unaware that she was violating section 334 of the postal laws, relative to using the mails for im- proper purposes, she requested her fiancee to send railroad fare and funds for other necessary expenses, so that she might meet him and be married. The money was sent, and at that moment the widow, | the young man claims, was as mute as the | harp that hung on Tara’s wall. The de- | ceived man put the matter ir the hands of the postoffice authorities, and Mrs. Hoff- man was arrested at Austin by Inspector Woods and is now in j; Pl i\ Sy Marred by Accident. BOSTON, Mass., June 29.—The steamer Servia sailed for England to-day with one of the largest and most expensive excur- sions that ever left America. It carried the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Com- pany of Boston, which will be entertained by the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of London, of which the Prince of Wales is commander. A bad accident marred the departure of the excursion.
