THE SAN FRANCISCO CAL WILD SCENES IN A CONVENTION Populists of Ohio Call, Each Other Boodlers | and Liars. i Free-for-All Fight Which Is| Quelled by a Squad of | i Police. | Fuslon Scheme Defeated—Full State | Ticket Nominated—Synonpsls of the Platform. COLUMBUS, Onio, Aug. 1L—A tre- | mendous sensation was created here to- | night when Hugh Preyor of Cleveland, a | former member of the Populist National | Committee, who was summoned betore an investigating committee, admitted that | be had received a check for$25 from Major | Dick, secretary of the National Republcan Committee and who is also Senator Han- nw'e manager in his Senatorial canvass. He produced the check, which was drawn on the Ohio National Bank of Washing- ton, D. C. He said the check was given to him in consideration of services to be rendered in the effort to defeat fusion with the | Democrats by the Populist State Conven- | tion. On being questioned further Dreyer | said he had kept the check instead of hav- ing it cashed for the parpose of showing | that Major Dick was willing to debauch | the Populists for any good that might re- | sult to Mr. Hanna and the Republican | party. | Rev. J. A. Taylor was also called to tes- | tify. He said that Major Dick gave him | a check for $25a few days ago, but after- | ward cashed the check for him himself so | he could not produce1t. The money was | given him to come to Columbus and work | against fosion. | It was also charged that P. J. Fishback | of this city and J. H. M. Frederick of | Canton had received money from Dick, | but both denied it and there was noevi- | dence produced to substantiate the charge. The convention was in an uproar all | day, delegates denouncing each other ana | calling each other boodlers, thieves and liars. Police haa to be present at all ses- | sions to keep peace.' The great contest | was over the question of fusion with the Democrats. Fusion was finally defeated and all the fusion members of the State Committee fired and middle-of-the-road | men put in their places. This ticket was then nominated: Governor, General Jacob S. Coxey of Stark; 1ieutenant-G: Horace Whitcomb ot Anglaine; At eneral, C. A. R s Wayne C eme Court, C. C. tate Treasurer, F. M. Morris, Stark ate School Co oner, Cyrus ; member of State Board of Pub- lic Works, J. H. Sanders. C. C. Pomeroy, nominee for Judge, in a speech said that if he was elected no in- junction against anarchy or anythir eise would be issued. The platform denounces everything Re- publican and Democratic, assails million- aires, plutocrats and politicians; de- mands free coinage and government | by law instead of injunctions; in- | dorses the party platforms adopted | at Omaha and St. Louis; declares it to be high time that the Ohio senator- | ship be taken out of the market and from | political auctioneers, who bave heretofore been wount to knock it down to the highest | bidder; denounces owners of public iran- | chises as being unfit to represent the plain people of Ohio in the United States Sen- ate; extends sympathy to the striking coal-miners and the moral support of the | party is pledeed to aid them in their | struggie; recognition of the belligerency | of the Cuban patriots is demanded, and both the administrations of President | Cleveland and President McKinley ara“ denounced !or failing to recognize it. | The session of the convention was one | of intense excitement from start to finish. When the delegates were not charging | each other with corruption they were call- | ing each other liars, and to break the mo- | notony a free-for-all tight was engaged’in | during the morning session, a number of | blows being exchanged by the delegates, but*no one was seriously injured. A squad of police had to be called in to quell the disturbance. The temper of the dele- gates was such that Chairman Seitz con- cluded it would be the part of wisdom to keep the officers on constant duty to pre- | ventany further outbreaks. | The trouble which resulted in fisticuff: was precipitated by Peter Witt of Cieve land making the general charge that the | middle-of-the-road people were paid agents of Hanna, and had come with their pockets filled with money for the purpose of defeating fusion with the Democrats and thus aiding the Republi- can ticket and Havna in his Senatorial canvass. The counter-charge was made by the middle-of-the-road element that the fusionists werein the pay of John P. McLean or some of his lieutenants, | WOOING RED HEIRESSES, Would-Be Squawmen Seek the One | Hundred and ixty Acre Cher- | okee Grants. WICHITA, Kays, Aug. 1l—Accord- ing to the recent ruling of the Interior August 15 is the last date on which it will be possible to qualify as a Cherokee citi- | zen in the “Cherokee Strip,’ and asa| consequence a great number of scheming white men are hunting for Indian girls for wives to take advantage of the Jaws and become a jsqugwman before that date. Each Ingian 11is entitled to 160 acres of land in the Indian Territory and a share in the large sum of monsay held in trust by the Government for the Chero- ees. Thousands of white men have already acquired valuable lands by marrying into the tribe, and al the eligible Indian maidens are now being courted with as much ardor as foreigners display in their efforts to win the hearts and fortunes of American heiresses. Notwithstanding the mercenary motives of their suitars the susceptible Indian girls readily accept marriage proposals from white men, ob- servation having taught them that most tqawmen treat their wives with more con- sideration than do the fuliblood braves. The boom in the matrimonial market becomes greater as the day approaches when citizenship rights may no longer be acquired by marriage, aud all the minis- ters on the reservation and even on the Arkansas border have their hands full Many of the Cherokee giris, despite their dark skin, possess considerable beauty and intelligence, and some of them are graduates of the bespIndian schools. The resuits of intermarriage with whites are being watched with interest by students of the Indian question, and the belief is gaining ground in the West that the al- lottment of Indian lands in severalty and the gradual assimilation of Indians by lieve the Government of a problem that would otherwise never be satisfactorily solved. -— Michigan Miners Hesuming Uperations. | older and | be a gool pol | b | ties of BESSEMER, Micu, Aug. 1L—The Brotherton mine, at Wakefield, resumed operations to-day and will employ 200 men.

A Rew York Youth Who Imagines He Can Transform imself Into a Killionaire. NEW YORK, N Aug. 11.—Howard Goldwaith, t!e 19-year-old son of a Ful- ton Market merchant, was locked up to- day for insanity, which was caused.by cigarette-smoking. He imagines that by pure will power he can transform himself into any prominent millionaire and enjoy the large income of that person. In | court he claimed to be Howard Gould and W. K. Vanderbilt. The court askea how he could be Van derbilt and Gould at the same time. “You see,” said Goldwaith, “it i3 by a wonderful discovery. I was Howard Gould two months ago, but now I am Vanderbilt. If you knew these persons when they were on earth you could s'e the difference in my looks. By will power I am able to change my form, ieatures, voice, manners and even clothing.

Arrangements Have Already Been Made to Send the Captaln to Costa Rica. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 11.—In- formation has been received by the State Department and by Captain Merry that the Government of Nicaragua is now ready to receive the San Franciscan as Minister. The attitude of Nicaragua has been singularly inconsistent. At first Zelaya said that he would be welcomed, then that he would not, but at Jasy® when the Nicaraguans saw thbat this Government proposed to ignore Nicaragua and the other republics comprising the so-called “Greater Repub- lic of Central America” they realized that the American legation would be trans- ferred from Managua, Nicarague, to San Jose, Costa Rica. This seems to be the reason why they are now willing to re- ceive Captain Merry. But arrangements have already been made to send Captain Merry as Minister to Costa Rica, with headquarters at San Jose. The papers were mailed by the Secretary of State to the President at Lake Champlain on Mon- day and it is expected they wiil reach here to-morrow witn the President’s ap- proval. This will doubtless be considered an affront by Nicaragua. The news leaked out to-day that the go- called “Greater Republic” withdrew its Minister (Senor Rodriguez) from Wash- ington sixty days ago because the State Department and Congress in 1ts diplo- matic and consular appropriation bills failed to accredit a Minister to the ‘Greater Republic,”” but studiously avoided its recognition by appropriating a salary for “Nicaragua, Salvador and Costa Rica,”” the latter not being a n.ember of the so-called *“Greater Republic.” Rod- riguez left on a leave of absence ostensi- bly, but he wili not return, nor will the Greater Republic send any one to the United States in nis place until this coun- try recognizes it as a nation. The real reason why the United States has persisted in refusing to recognize those three countries as one republic is, because Nlcaragua might (and probably would) in every case disavow her nationality, and thus seek to abrogate her treaty with the United States granting certain rights to this country in building the canal. The State Department and members of the Committee on Foreign Relations ot the Senate and House naturally mistrusted the *‘Greater Republic” scheme. They believed that English influence inspired this confederation, so that Nicaragua might be in a position to absolve herself from the canal treaty stipulations with tbis country. For this reason Mr. Olney (then Secretary of State) in receiying Rod- riguez stated courteously but in pl lan- guage ibat he was not rece ved as the Minister from the ‘“‘Greater Republic,” but from the States of Nicaragua, Salva- dor and Honduras. Captzin Merry hopes to leave here for San Francisco on Fridey or Saturday. UNFOUNDED KUMORS, Assistant Seoretary Day Not Summoned to Washinglon. WASHINGTON, D. C.,, Aug. 11.—Itis declared that there is not a word of truth in the report that Assistant Secretary Day has been summoned back to Washing- ton. T.e officials of the State Depart- ment say they are at a loss to account for the dispatches in the morning papers say- ing Judge Day is to abruptly end his va- cation. Only this morning a letter from Judge Day, written vesterday, was re- ceived by Assistant Secretary Cridler, in which he says that he will not return to Washington until some time between the 1st and 10th of September. Iu the first place, there is no reason for Judge Day to cut short hisvacation, for there is mo- thing for him to do at the State Depart- ment, and in the second place, Secretary Sherman and Assistant Secretaries Adee and Cridler are alt at the State Depar:- ment and have charge of all mattersthere, There is so little work now on hand that it is expected that even Secretary Sherman will go away in a few days for some needed rest. The actual work of the department 18 in the hands of Assistant Secretaries Adee and Cridler, and all that Secretary Sherman is doing is exercising a general supervision of matters. It is said that Secretary Sberman is deter- mined not to talk any more for publica- tion, and the stories that the admini-tra- tion is greatly worried over his recent in- terview are pronounced only gossip got up by Democrats to annoy anG embarrass the President and his Secretary of State. Judge Day wentaway to stay until Sep- tember and be intends to doso. The President 1s ndt doing any actual work at Lake Champlain. Although several ap- pointments have been made out that the State Department has sent to him, he wili take his own time before announcing the.n, g RULING ON HIDES, Those From American Catile Slaugh- tered Abroad Are Dutiable.

AT JOHN BROWN'S GHAVE. The President and FParty Warmly Re- ceived on Theip Trip to Lake Placid. PLATTSBURG, Ni Y., Aug. 1L.—The Presidential party, consisting of President and Mrs. McKinley, Vice-President and Mrs. Hobart, Mrs. Alger, Murat Halstead and a large number of friends and rail- road officials, went to Lake Placid to-day to visit the grave of John Brown. They took a special train of thr.e coaches. At Codyville the depot was handsomely deco- rated and the crowd in waiting cheered lustily. The President appeared on the rear platform and shook hands with all. At Lyon Mountain tne President again appeared and for five minuies shook the hands of the brawny miners and laborers who had ceased work togreet him. At Saranac, the metropolis of the Adrion- dacks, there wasan immense crowd. band played “‘Hail to the Chief,”” and for ten minutes McKinley and Hobart stood on the steps of their car grasping the eager hands of those who crowded to greet them. At Lake Placid carriages were taken to the Stevens bouse for dinner. The hotel was elaborately decorated by the guests. Afterdinnerthe President gave a reception in the hotel, after which the party were taken in carriages tothe grave of John Brown. MecKinley is the first President to visit the grave. As he stepped to the side of the grave he reverently removed his bat and leaned over to read thein- scription on the weather-baaten stone. Then he asked many questions about it. After a shori stay the reiurn journey was begun, the party reaching Piattsburg at 8:30 p. M. gt COLLISION AT MARYSVILLE, Engineer William Geary Killed in a Head-£nd Crash of Two Trains. MARYSVILI‘:, CAL, Aug. 1L—As a result of a head-end collision between the locomotive of traid No. 51, bound for Oro- ville from Sacramento and the engife of a special freight bound from Red Bluff to Sacramento at 1 o’clock this afternoon, the remains of poor William Geary, the engineer of the Oroville train, occupies a slab at the morgue in this city, and a weeping widow, who waited in vain his arrival at his destination, is grief stricken. The accident occurred hetween Four- teenth and Fifteenth streetd aad between the Frohn aairy and the racetrack, at a point where there is a slight curve in the road. The railroad men are reiicent as regards the cause of the catastrophe, and what particulars were secured are the ac- cumulation of scattering data. The Oro- wville train left a few minutes behind time with Encineer Geary at the throttle and Percy Brvan as fireman. Wiien near Fourteenth street the brakeman espied the approaching freight train and notitied the engineer, who reversed the engine and orought it nearly to a standstill. The Ireight irain being very heavy could not be controlled so easily, and be- fore it could be stopped crashed into the Oroville train. The front trucks of the engine of the extra train were derailed and the rear end slizhtly telescoved with the first boxcar; the pilots of both engines were totally demolished. Afier the col- lision En zineer Geary was found lying un- conscious at the front end of his engine with his left foot badly crushed and a slight abrasion on the back of his head. He was conveyed to Dr. Powell’s office, where he died within a jew moments, and the body was removed to the morgie. An autopsy this evening developed the fact that death was the result of a tracture | of the skull behind and slightly above the right ear. There were no fatal external injuri: Just how Geary came to be thrown in the position he was found will always be a mystery. Iis fireman jumped from the tender, where he was breaking coal at the time Geary reversed his engine. An in- quest will be held Friday. The widow was conveyed to this city from Oroville this evening on a special train. Deced-e | wis about 52 years of age and leavesa w fo residing in Oroville, a son who isa rail- road fireman at Wadsworth and a daugh- ter now attending the Mills Seminary at Oakland. The wreck was cleared shortly after the accident and the trains pro- ceeded on their course. ——— STOCKTON FATH: R'S RAGE. Dying of Consumption, Ke Would Kill the Youth Who Wronged His Daughter. STOCKTON, Car., Aug. 11— A girl scarcely 16 years of age, attired in short dresses, was let out of jail this morning. She was Nellie Tye, or, as she gave her, name at the tife of the arrest, Nellie Jen- nings. She was one of the quartet &r-| rested for vagrency on Union Island a few nights ago. They were camping there wllhout‘lent or food in a primitive sort of way. E. Langmaid, Charles Eagan and Rosa White, whose true name is Foley, are still imprisoned. Eagan, who pleaded not guiity, changed his mind yesterday and pleaded guilty. He was given ten days by Justice Parker. The mother of the Tye ¢irl is dead, and to-day the father, who ‘s an inmate of the County Hospital and who is dying of con- sumption, came to town and tried to learn {rom an officer when Eagan would be dis- charged. He said he wanted to kill him aad avenge the treatment of his daughter. As he has but a short time to live he said hedid not.care what was done to him after he settled with Eagan.

BUTTE, Most, Aug. 11.—There was only one harness race on the programme to-day, and, though it was of high ciass, it was nothing but s walkover for Che- halis, the Oregon pacer. The race was a mixed free-for-all pace and trot. Only three horses started, and Klamath, the fastest trotter here, endeavored to hola down the trotting end of it, but the side- wheelers were too fast for him.

Reels OF the Distance in 2:021-2 | on a Track Fully Two Sec- onds Slow. POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., Aug. 11.—In- terest was added to the second day of the Breeders’ Association meeting at the Hud- son River Driving Park to-day bv the fast exhibition miles paced by John R. Gentry and Rovbert J, with running na es. The track was slow and nobody expected to see the track record of 2:05)4, made by Mascot, broken. Therefore there was genuine surprise when Jobn R Gentry knocked three seconds off it, going the mile in 2:02}4. This was the fastest mile paced by Gentry this season. When Bowne turned Gentry around after the heat and drove up in front of the grand stand 3000 spectators went wild with enthusiasm. Matthew Laird, the owner and driver of Rubenstein (2:06), caught Gentry's mile at 2:02!4, the same as announced by the judges. John 8. Clark, who bred Gentry's dam, made it quarter of a second slower. Both said that, taking into consideration the condi- tion of the track, which had been rained on for two days, it was the greatest per- formance ever accomplished by John R. Gentry or any other horse, as the track was fully two seconds slow. Bowne, Gentry’'s driver, stated that on the backstretch the track was soggy and wetin half a dozen places, while on the homestretch there was a bad spot. He bad to swerve out for these, otherwise, in his judgment. Gentry's time would have been 2:02 or better. Robert.J made two attempts to pace a fast mile. The first time he lost a shoe before reaching the half and took his own time to the wir On the second trial he made the mile in 2:06. e ) Wheel Rac*s at sanla Losa.

The Contest fo Be for “Scien=- tific Points” and a “Trophy.” To Take Place Before the Knicker- bocker Club the Last of October. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 1L-—"‘Buck” Connolly of Pittsburg and Dan Lyneh of San Francisco, respectively managers of Peter Maher and Tom Sharkey, the heavy- weight pugilists, met at the Police Gazetia office to-day. They had a long conference in regard to the articles of agreement which each received by mail from the Knickerbocker Athletic Club of 8an Fran- cisco, where the big fellows are to meet in the ring next October. The articles were signed by President Frank M. Miner and Manager Zeke Abrahams of the Knickerbocker Club. The club offers a “'trophy to be of the value of $20,000,” and stipulates that Maher and Sbarkey shall meet in a scien- tific sparring expibition of twenty rounds | or more in San Francisco between noon and midnight on October 12 next. The club will post a forfeit of $5000 as soon as the articles are signed. and the contest- ants are to put up $2500 as a guarantee of good faith of their complying with all the terms of the agreement. The articles call for a mutual agreement on a referee twenty-lour hours before the contest. Connelly scanned the document care- fully, and after a long discussion he and Lynch agreed to sign for their men pro- viding that some changes were made. Connolly insisted that Maber should have at least seven weeks to irain after he gets back from Europe, which will be about the end of this month. This will necessi- tate the changing of the date to the latter part of October. The Pittsburg man also objected tothe choice ot a referee being deferred until the day before the proposed bout. Lynch agreed to haye the time extended to two weeks before the fight, the referee to ba mutually agreed upon by the principals. These, together with some minor changes were made, and mailed to S8an Francisco for the club’s indorsement. A reply is expected by telegraph next Monday, and if the Knickerborker representatives yield to them the men will go into_active train- ing as soon as they reach this side of the Atlantic. Sharkey is expected here on Saturday, August 21, and Maher will pro- bably return a week later. PETALUMA BANKEK'S DEATR. Suceumbs to Apoplexy Whils Bathing at Skagys Springs.
