With a legitimate proposition to increase the number of United States Supreme Court Judges, or to abolish within constitutional Iines life tenure in office, I may have po con- troversy; nor do 1 object to proper eriticisms of Judges and public officials. But when an open, bald attempt is made to increase the number of Judges with the avowed purpose of securing a decision on any question in a predetermined way patriotic and intelligent men mey well hold up their hands in horror. Speaking of the claim of “regularity” he says: Does party regularity demand blind and stupid allegiance to evervthing a convention held under the name of Demoeracy may do ? I admit the impossibility of dtawing a plat- form that in all things will be satisfactory to all Pemoerats. But never before have we been esked to make a compromise between National honor and National degradacion. Compromises may be made on many matters, even on the currency issue, but the immorality and debasement of compromises on questions that directly affect the Nation's honor and good faith are mnot to be considered for a moment. The Democrats who respouded to President Lincoln’s call to take up arms for the m enance of the Nation's houor did not cease to be Democrats because they proved themselves patriots. After referring to the conditioa of the country and the lack of confidence pre- vailing and to the fact that the gold neces- sary to start business ‘is and has been waiting the settlement of our financial difficulties along the lines of honor and reason,” Mr. Sneehan says, referring to the platform of the last Democratic State Convention in New York: 1stood.on that platiorm then; I have never leit it, and 1.do not propose to do so now. Let those whose judgment leads them in a differ- ent direction support the Chicugo nominees. [ believe most firmly that the success of this Chicago ticket would mean paralysis of busi- ness and that the avenues of industries would be closed. After citing the fact that no existing power can take irom him his credentials as a member of the Democratic National Committee unless with his consent, Mr. Sheehan concludes: If the State I have the homor to represent stafids in September where it stood 1n June I will gladly continue as its representative on that committee. Butif the organized Democ- racy of the State Teverses its position, stands where it should not stand, pulls down the ban- ner of Democracy and hoists the flag of Pop- ulism, I will not continue to represent it. If the Buffalo ‘couvention indorses the platiorm of the Chicago convention or its nominees my resignation will be immediately” forwarded to the National Committee. S Do 70 STUMP THE SUUTH. Palmer and Buckner Prepare for Active Campaign Work. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Sept. 13.—Senator Palmer will make his first speech of the National Democratic campaign at Decatur, 1L, on September 27 or 28. General Buck- ner will speak at Nashville Monday night and at Memphis Wednesday night, in con- junction with Colonel Jobn R. Fellows of New York. Friday night General Buck- ner, Colonel Fellows and Hon. W, D, By~ num will speak at Lexington. About the 25¢th inst. General Buckner will go 1o Richmond, Va., to speak in response to an invitation from the National Democrats of that State. Mr. Bynum says the nominees will make a number of speeches in the South and that the dates will be announced as soon as General Palmer could return home ana get his law practice_into shape. Mr. Bynum will go to New York Monday to meet the National Democratic leaders of that State and appoint the New York members of the National executive com- mittee. He will open headquarters there. e — HONEST MONEXY ADDRESS, Stirring Appeal to the Democracy. ¥EW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 13.—The ex- ecutive committee of the Democratic Hon- est Money League to-day issued an ad- dress tc the “Honest Money Democracy of the Nation, who hoid country and honor above party,’” in which they ae- nounce the currency and other planks of the Chicagd platform. The address con- cludes: Shall we sacrifice the prestige, character, standing and influence of this great peopls that a combination of speculators may profit by the sacrifice? Shall we permit the Supreme Court of this country to be tampered with and its character destroyed that the yoke of slavery may be permanently riveted about our necks, and that unbridled license may be given to the enemies of our institutions? Shall we indorse the doctrine of non-interfer- ence with mob law merely to secure anarchist support to the silver scheme? From the graves of our patriotic dead comes &0 appeal in the name of liberty sgainst such infamy. True, loyal Democracy is now called to patriotic duty. If worthy of American eitizen- ship you will exercise your suffrage where it will do your country most good in this hour of peril. "Our country’s honor, integrity snd safety, and the people’s rights and_interests constitute to-day our political creed and the badge of true, loyal Democracy. e — MAINE'S ELECTION TO-DAX. True, ZLoyal An Overwhelming Republican Victory Looked For. PORTLAND; ME., Sept, 13.—The cam- paien which closed in this State Saturday night has been the most active known for years on both sides, It has been a speak- ing campaign almost entirely, and nota settlement of any size from one end ot Maine to the other has been neglected. On tne Republican side the speakers in- cluded the most eminent names in the country. The Republicans are looking for a victory of most overwhelming pro- portions, their estimates running as high as 50,000 plurality for Powers, and no one placing it under 20,000. A conservative estimate puts 1t at from 25,000 to 28,000. The Demiocrats are cenerally disposed to concede 20,000 at least. The pluralities for the four Congressmen to be chosen to- morrow will probably run considerably ahead of the ticket. Mr. Reed’s plurality may go as high as 10,000. —— BRYAN AT CHUKCH. Two Thousand Curious People Together at St, Lowis. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Sept., 13.—Grand ave- nue was the Mecca of neagly 2000 people this morning, who were attracted by the notice that Hon. William J. Bryan would attend divine service at the Grand-avenue Presbyterian Church at 11 o'clock. Mr. Bryan and a few friends were escorted to the church by Hon. John I Martin and were segted in & pew near the altar. Rev. Dr. Cannon preached a brief but eloguen: sermon .on the gospe! of the day, On leaving the church Mr. Bryan was com- pelled to doff his hat in response to the subdaed applause of the crowd on the sidewzlk. To-morrow morning at 6 o'clock the {nrt; leaves on a special train “via the ouisville and Nashville road and will make short addresses at the principal sta- tions en route to Louisvilte. R ONE MORE EFFORT TO FUSE. Draws Bryan's Presence in Kentucky May Ao~ complish the Iesult. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Bept. 13.—The lead- ers of the Free Silver Democratic party in Kentucky will make one more attempt to fuse with the Populists, and it is thought they wiil.ba successful. . Mr. Bryan will arrive in the city to-morrow night, and this occasion is deemed a fitting one to bring about an agreement with the Poou-, lists. Consequently Chairman Johnston of the free silver Democratic State Cen- tral Committee has arranged for a confer- ence to-morrow with Chairman Parker of the Popuilisy State Central Committee. It is understood that Mr. Parker’s terms of {gslun will be two Bryan and Watson glec- T8, ON THE SEVENTH DAY HE RESTED McKinley ‘Gets a Respite From His Campaign Labors. THIS WEEK A BUSY ONE Fifty Thousand Political Pil- grims Have Arranged to Visit Canton. DELEGATIONS FROM ALL PARTS Encouraging Telegrams From Every Section of the Unioa Continu: to Pour In. NTON, Osio, Sept. 13.—Major Me- Kinley enjoyed a well-earned rest to-day. Yesterday was the most active and la- borious day he has had since his nomina- tion. He made three long and as many short speeches and shook hands with quite 5000 people. Major McKinley did not go to Zoar last night, as he had thought one time of doing. The people gave him no chance to leave town. He was serenaded several times during the evening and had a great many callers at the house. This morning Major McKinley took a short drive with Mrs. McKinley and made a visit to his mother. He did not go to church, This afternoon he took a long drive into the country and was much re- freshed by it. He is looking well and feel- ing well after his week of arduous work, and is ready for the still harder work of next week. The Major will have a larger numper of delegations at his house this week than he has received in the same length of time since his nomination, and many of them will be very large delega- tions. The total number of political pil- grims to Canton this week will' number more than 50,000 Letters asking for dates for delegations come by every mail. Among those which will come this week are the following: Monday, business men and wool-growers of Harrison County, Ohio. Tuesday, an excursion of more than 1000 voters from Somerset County, Pa., and Western Mary- land. Every voting precinct in the county will be represented. Tuesday afternoon, the Grand Army posts of Canton and vi- cinity will make a formal call on the can- didate. The same day a large delegation from Marshall, Mich., will arrive in Can- ton. This delegation will represent the voters of Calhoun County. Friday, the great Republican meeting of the campaign will be held. Speeches will be made by Senators Cullom and Thurston, by Gover- nor Hastings of Pennsylvania anda Con- gressman McCleary of Minnesota. Dele- gations from nearly every county in Ohio are expected in Canton on Friday and large number of visitors ere coming trom West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana and Michigan. Arrangements for the accommo- dation of 40,000 visitors are being made. Next Saturday will be one of the notable days of the campaign in Canton. Six large and distinct delegations will visit Major McKinley. The delegation of Chicago rail- way men, Tepresenting all of the railways which enter Chicago, will number 2500, and 100 coaches have been provided for them. In addition to this delegation there will be a delegation from Butler County and Mercer County, Pennsylvania, a dele- gation composed of commercial travelers from Pittsburg and vicinity, a delegation from New Albany, Ind., and one from Columbus, Ohio, representing the Building and Trades Conncil. News of an encouraging nature was re- ceived from lowa to-day. A poll of all save twelve counties in the State shows that the voters are two to one for McKin- ley. The twelve counties not ‘polled are strongly Republican. News from all parts of the West is of a cheering character. Colonel M. T. Herrick of Cleveland ar- rived this evening and spent the night at the McKinley residence. Inteliigence from Maine to-night indi- cates that a majority exceeding 25,000 will be given the Republican ticket lo-morrow. Major McKinley received a very large number of dispatches to-aay. Some of these messages are appended : TOPEKA, KAN., Sept. 18.—The first colored club in the United States, composed entirely of young men voting the first time, was organ- ized here last night and pledge you their sup- port. L. V.

T TP 4 MANGANES BONANZA KING, Sudden Transition From Poverty to Great Wealth of a Virginian. CHICAGO, ILL., Sept. 13.—A local paper says: Manganese has made E. R. Brain- erd rich. He is now a bonanza king, and his gooa fortune is as unexpected as it is welcome. Away down in Virginia is a 500-acre tract of land which has restored Mr. Brainerd to prosperity. It came to him many years ago in payment of a bad debt, and because he could not get rid of it Mr. Brainerd kevt it. Now heis glad he took it and kept it. The most valuable deposit of manganese ever found in this country has been found there. A New York firm has offered to either buy or develop the bonanza and work will begin at once. Mr. Brainerd’s luck is at Lyndhurst, Va. Last spring Mr. Brainerd, who has been a prominent contractor in Chicago for years, met serious financial reverses and failed, Now fortune has come again in a most unexpected manner. The significant thing about the bonanza is that the supply is apparently inex- haustible. Manganese is jound in many places in America, but in ‘‘pockets.’” After being worked a short time all pre- vious finds have been exhausted. Re- ports from Mr. Braiverd’s land indicate that the Jarge supply there is boundless. Manganese is a metal used chiefly asa flux 1n the iron industry, in furnaces, roll- ing-mills and foundries where pig iron is converted 1nto the marketable article. L GEMNERALJAMES D. MORGANDEAD Buccumbs to Old Age After a Most Eventful Career. QUINCY, ILy., Sept. 13.—General James Dady Morgan died here this morning, aged 86, He was born in Boston, Mass., August1, 1810. When 16 years of age he went to sea for a three years’ trading voy- age 1n the ship Beverly. A mutiny oc- curred when the ship was thirty days out and the vessel was burned. Morgan es- caped to South America and after many hardships returned to Boston. In 1834 he removed to Quincy, IlL., and engaged in mercantile pursuits. He helped in form- ing the “Quincy Grays,” and at the time of the Mormon troubles in 1844 he was captain of the Quincy Riflernen and was ordered to Hancock County to preserve order. During the Mexican war he served as a cap:iain in the First lliinois Volunteers. In 1861 he became lieutenant-colonel in the Seventh Illinoi§ Regiment and was meoted brigadier-general of volunteers uly 17, 1862, for meritorious services at New Madrid and Corinth. In November, 1862, he commanded a brigade at Nash- ville, Tenn., and was breveted major- general of volunteers March 19; 1865, for gallantry at Bentonville, N. C. He was mustered out of the army Aug- ust 24, 1865. Of late years he had been an officer of a Quincy bank. e LEADVILLE'S STRIKE. Married Miners Starved Into Swubmis- sion and Trouble is Feared. LEADVILLE, Coro., Sept. 13.—The strike of the Miners’ Union will soon cul- minate in a contest between the married miners and the officials and unmarried strikers, the former have determined to go back to work. The Summitand Ham mines are being inclosed by a high fence 80 that miners may work behind a barri- cade. The better element of citizens are beginning to take a more pronounced stand against the strikers, They per- suaded the county commissioners to hold a special meeting last aight and take some action to protect life and preserve law and order. The meeting was beld be- hind closed doors and it is not known what action wasdecided upon, but from indications to-day it seems that they have decided to await results to-night and if any violence occurs to petition the Gov- crnor immediately to send the militia. LT “SIMPLY A COAL-PASSER.” The Case of Cholera on the Cruiser Bos- ton at Shanghai. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 13.—Navy Department officials express no apprehen- sion whatever in regard to an isolated case of cholera on the cruiser Boston, reported from Shanghaiin a dispatch to the New York Times this morning. Michael Sulli- van, the victim, was simply a coal-passer. Sullivan contracted the disease ashore, where it is usunally to be found in low quarters. The sanitary condition of the ship is excellent and it is deemed impos- sible for the plague to spread. All precau- tions have been taken, and the fact that several days have elapsed since the re- ported occurrence without nng new cases developing deprives the incident, in the opinion of naval officials, of anv alarming significance. Al Almost @ Tragedy at St. Lowis. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Sept. 13.—A business aifficulty between two prominent citizens of this city nearly ended in a tragedy yes- terday. Major C. R. Rainwater, a pol- iticlan, business man and promoter of large enterprises, attempted to_sboot his former business partner, Simon P, Boogher, on Washington avenue, yester- day. Litigation followed their business dissolution and friends of each have pre- dicted a hostile meeting. The police at- tempted to hush the matter up, but Mr, Boogher demanded the punishment of Major Rainwater. Both gentlemen are of the first circles in society, feercialai T Coal Shaft Destroyed by Fire. BRAZIL, IxD., Sept. 13.—The large shaft of the Isaac McIntosh Coal Company at Caseyville, north of nere, was destroyed by fire yesterday. The flames caught from the boiler in the shingle roof of the boiler- room, and spread to the tipple and biack- smith-shop, totally destroying everything above ground, and ruining the valuable machinery, "The danger signal was sounded to the 300 miners at work under- ground by the air course. The loss is about $5000; fully insured. ——— BORROW on sealskins, silks and jewels at Uncle Harrls’, 15 Grant avenue EUROPE AND THE TURKISH CRISIS Portentous Events Believed to Be Very Near at Hand. JEALOUSY OF ENGLAND. Salisbury’s Aggressive Attitude Viewed With Distrust by Other Powers. MUCH DEPENDS UPON THE (ZAR German Papers Fear Extermination of All Christians in the Oftoman Em- pire Will Be Provoked. [Copyright,1896,by the United Assoclated Presses] BERLIN, GerMANy, Sept. 13.—The Em- peror will remain several days at Biegs- dorf, where he has gone for the purpose of shooting, and Prince Hohenlohe will start to-morrow for his estates in Styria, where he will engage in the sport of chamois- hunting. Prince Radolin, the German Embassador to Russia, started for England on Thursday for the purpose of transacting private business, and Count Kapnist, the Russian Embassador to Aus- tria, who is the probable successor of Prince Lobanoff-Rostovsky as Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, has left Vienna for a sojourn at Biarritz with his family. These facts bave been gleaned with a view of gauging the value of the excited rumors which have been flying abont the bourses that a political deluge in Turkey is imminent. Beyond question deyelop- ments of the most acute nature are near at hand, but they will not be reached to- day, nor are they likely to manifest them- selves until the Czar’s tour is finished and that monarch returns to St. Petersburg. Lord Salisbury’s so-called independent poliey in Turkey, which is doubtless seen in the action of 8ir Philip Currie, the British Embassador at Constantinople, in presenting to the Porte a note protesting against the Government’s expulsion of Armenians from the Turkish capital with- out consulting the representatives of the powers, is not taken here so seriously as implying the appearance of a British fleet in the Bosphorus to enforce the special British demands, and the absence of sev- eral Embassadors from Constantinople ought to furnish sufficient proof of the suspension of the final Turkish crisis, 8ir Philip Currie is the first Embassador who has bad an audience with the Bultan since the recent riots in Constantinople. Baron Calice, the Austrian Emblstc or, and M. Nelidoff, the Russian Embassa- dor, are away on leaves of absepce, which will not expire until the end of the month, and Sir Philip Carrie, in the meantime, is in command of the dipjomatic field with whatever kind of 1solated policy he bas to push forward. No well-informed diplo- mats here believe that independent action on the part of Great Britain is practical. Though the Norih German Gazette, whose articles of the Turkish situation are callons and unsympathetic with the persecuted Armenians, represents the best official oPinion here, the other influ- ential journals take an entirely different course. The Cologne Gazette declares that the powers want to deal energetically with the Sultan, but are undecidea as to the method of doing so. “Though the last massacre in Constanti- nople passed over the European residents of the city.” the Gazette adds, ‘as the fear and hatred of Christians increase the powers must face a possible general massa- cre.” The Kreuz Zeitung and other papers disauss the measures that must be taken before armed intervention ought to be resorted to, but almost every newspaper comment on the situation reasons upon the readiness of the Turks to try to exrer- minate the Christians in Turkey if they are provoked. Advices received here from Constanti- nople assert that the Sultan is afflicted with 2 homicidal mania arising from an acute spinal disease, and the statements made in these advices seem, according to the criticisms of the press, to be associatea ;mh‘_n;o muni-mlu outni:!rst of Turkish anaticism generally.. ow to guard against such an outburst is the first ques- tion to be placed before the foreign diplo- mats in Turkey. 1f the powers agree to place the Sultan under. tutelage, with the appointment of Turkish Ministers and other officials, approved by the Embassa- dors, thisaction must be accompanied by :reunuunns for armed occupation of Tur~ ey. The Kreuz Zeitung asserts that France and Russia will never assent to the plan of placing the Sultan under tutelage and will maintain the integrity of the empire and sovereignty of the Turkish monarch, and declares that these two powers al- reaay distrust the concentration of the British fleet at Salonica. The sum of the situation is that these and other proposals dealing with the Sultan await the issues of the Czar’s tour. In the meantime the Czar and Czarina, With their suites, are at Bernstorf castle in Denmark, where the King ot Denmark’s family party is assembled. The Czar, Princess Vicioria and Prince Waldemar o Denmark are acenstomed to bicycling each morning, while the Czarina, the Princess of Wales and the Queen of Den- mark drive along the routes taken by the cyclists. In the afternoon the Czar, the Crown Prince of Denmark and the Grand Duke Michael of Russia go out to the deer drives in Jmgersborg Park, and the evenings are spent in the enjoyment of musical entertainments for the family flr!y. Wwhich will break up on September 6, ihe Czar and Ozarina going to Bal- moral to visit Queen Victoria, accom- panied by the Princess of Wales and her duufihter. Princess Victoria. The representatives of the press return- ing from Goerlitz concur in the statement that it was with the utmost -flflhult'y that they were able to get accurate informa- tion of the results of the military maneu- vers, but agree that the general results Jrere more favorable to the Saxon than the Prussian army co: The Emperor, upon the evening of every da{ of the ma- neuvers, criticized the operations with ad- mitted impartiality. 'he Prussian in- fantry, which are renowned for their good marching under -heavy -weights, msin- tained the reputation. Both the Prussians and the Saxcns carried over sixty pounds, consisting of arms, smmunition, knap- sack and part of a tent per man, yet their files were closed up well at ‘the end of every day, For the first time the bicycle rifiemen ‘were bronght into action, cover- ing the Prussian cavalry behind Klein . lary ex; alone, however, ean say whether their work was done effeotively. It was stated on the field that General Count Waldersee had underrated the ma; abilities of the Saxons, who throughout were admirably led. The com- missarisat was marvelously well managed and the quantity ana quality of the food provided excellent. A number of German Catholic “clergy- men will attend the anti-Masonic con- g:en, which isto be opened at Trent on ptember 26. Prince Charles Valuisi, Bishop of Trent, will preside after the con- gress has been formally opened by Cardi- nal Agliardo, Papal Nuncio to Vienna,who will read a letter from the Pope. Oardinal Agliardo has caused the publication of the letter of his Holiness in the Centrist news- papers. The Pope recalls the dangers re- sulting from secret societies, as denounced in the Encyclique Humanum Genus, and declares that Free Masonry is more per- nicious than ever, menacing both church and state. He expresses hope that the congress will find means to stop the progress cf this ma- ligaant enemy of society. The letter does not affect German Free Masonry, which is nob-sectarian and non-political, being or- ganized for merely social and charitable purposes, Another advance in the discount rate of the Reichsbank is imminent, on account of the expected continuance of gold ex- ports to the United States and Australia, with an increase in hourse speculations in coal and iron shares. Herren Bebel and Bueb, the Socialist leaders in the Reichstag, have been pre- vented by tbe French authorities from ad- dressing a meeting of socialists at Saint Die and have also been pronibited from ad- dressing similar meetings within the borders of the Reichsland. It isannounced that they have decided to hold a large meeting in Baden, near Strasburg. The subsidence of the Bohemian town of Bouex continues. The sinking of the town is due to the falling in of old mines, caused by their having been sapped by underground waters. The streets with the houses on both sides thereof and the railway station have been completely wrecked, Recent visitors to Friedrichsruhe say that Prince Bismarck, contrary to current Teports, i enjoying the best of health, His neuralgia has entirely disappeared and his voice has recovered the strength of youth. The Strasburg Bureer Zeitung announces that ex-Empress Eugente is going to Al- sace for a sojourn at the Robertslu estate with ‘Mme. "Pourtales. The paper says it is very doubtful that she will revisit the scenes of the disasters to the French ar- mies in 1870. WLLEJD N A JERICHD Presiding Elder Willis’ Charge Arouse the Wrath of Citizens. Denials of the Accusation That the Peop'e of the Town Are Ungodly. VALLEJO, Car., Sept. 13. — Church- going people, irrespective of denomina- tion, as well as the citizens generally, are much exercised over the statement made by Rev. E, R. Willis, presiding elder of the Napa district, in the Methodist con- ference at Pacific Grove on the 10th inst., in which he said: ““The word Vallejo is not synonymous. with righteousness. King Alcobol is on the throne. The city stands because there are more than ten righteous omes in it. To find a man at the mourner’s bench in Vallejo would surprise the people more than an earthquake.” The average Vallejoite is willing to ad- mit that there are here a few saloons movre than are actually required, but a statement insinunating that the number of good people 1s not more than ten is re- pudiated as being untrue, malicious and uncalled for, nor do the people enjoy be- ing called modern Jerichoites. One of the pastors who has been here for a number of years says that his congregations are large and that the people are both intel- lectual and spiritual. In no other place dia he have more liberal supvort than in Vallejo. Fers “I bhave baptized sixty-five into the Cornell Baptist Church since I'have been pastor,” said the Rev. W. L. Gaston, “and this does not include a large number of *backsliders’ who have becn reclaimed.” Rev. Theodore F. Burnham, pastor of the Presbyterian Churct,’says his congre- gation is increasing so rapidly that there isa plan on foct to enlarge the seating capacity in the church. The Catholic cliurch is filled with members at each ser- vice, and the Egiscopll church is well at- tended. Last Sunday night the Methodist church was crowded to the doors and the aisles were filled with chairs to accommo- date those who gathered to listen to the closing sermon by Rev. Mr. Woodward, the retiring pastor. During his address Mr. Woodward took occasion to thank the Eeoplo for the very kind attention that ad been given him during his two years’ stay and the cordial relations existing be- tween the various churches. SAN JOSE INSTITUTE. Scientists Will Lecture on Practical Sub- jects to Farmers and Orchard- ists of the State, SAN JOSBE, CaL., Sept. 13 —Everything is now progressing favorably for the Farmers’ Institute to be held in this city about the middie of November. San Jose Grange is taking an active interest in the meetings and is circulating petitions to ascertain the number who will attend the lectures. The orchardists and farmess are taking considerable interest in the move- ment, and it is thought the institute will be largely attended. The meetings will be held under the auspices of the agricultural department of the Universisy of California, Edward F. Adams of Wrights being the organizer. Lectures wiil be delivered by Professors Hilgard, Jones and Wickson, of the Siate University. These will be foliowed by queries and replies and brief discussion and statements. The following subjects have been chosen by San Jose Grange for discussion: “Fertilizers,” *Irrigation,”’ “Land Titles” and “How to Raise the Best Fruit and How to Market It.” ey s BULB SBOW IN WINTER. The Santa Clara Floral Soclety Prepar. ing for an Exhibition. SAN JOSE, CAL., Sept. 13.—The Santa Clara County Floral Society is making preparations for a bulb show early next spring. It will be the first floral exhibi- tion of the kind in San Jose, and it is thought it will prove a good advertise- ment for the climate of Santa Clara County, asthe show will be held at a time when such a thing would be impossible in the East.

LOSE THEIR TEMPERS. George Smith Slays Logan Corn- well as They Strive for the Mastery. CLAIMS HE HAD BEEN STRUCK. The Homicide Follows an Evening’s Carcusal in a Liquor Store. HOLLISTER, CAn, Sept. 13.—A friendly wrestling match between Logan Cornwell and George Smith at San Benito, thirty miles south of here, lasi night ended in the killing of Cornwell by Smith. Begun in good-natured rivalry, it became a serious affair, when one or both of the contestants forgot friendship and turned the match into a rough-and-tumble fight. George Taylor, Harry Mead, George Smith and Logan Cornwell spent the evening ata saloon and about 9 o’clock started for home, Afterleaving thesaloon Cornwell and Smith engaged in the wres- tling match, and Cornwell threw Smith. They then started for their horses, hitched near by, when Smith went up to Cornwell and said: “You may be able to throw me, but I can get away with you some other way.” Cornwell again took hold of Smith and another scuffle followed, both men falling heavily to the ground. Smith claims that Cornwell, who had hold of his left hand, struck him in the face as they fell, and that he said to Cornwell: “If you hit me again I will cut you,” at the same time drawing a common pocket-knize. He says Cornwell struck him again, and he then plunged the knite into Cornwell’s body. Four wounds were inflicted—two deep gashes just below the ribs, a slight cut a few inches higher and a stab directly over the heart. Cornwell raised to a standing position, staggered back about twelve feet and dropped dead. His only words were, “‘Yes, I am badly hurt,” in response to a question from one of the party. The principals in the affair were both young men, 32 years old, well connected and well known in this community. Smith was brought to town and is now in the county jail LOS AMNGELES BANQUET.
