READING, Pa., Aug. 30.—By a_vote of 53 to 26, the State Democratic Committee adopted a resolution declaring vacant the seat of Willlam F. Harrity of Philadel- phis in the National Democratic Commat- tee. The committee met in the rooms of the Americus Club, by direction of the executive committee, to consider the vacancy in the National Committee. ‘The proceedings were exciting from start to finish, ang at one stage & policeman was called upon by State Chairman Garman to eject Timothy O'Leary of Pittsburg, for interrupting the speakers. O'Leary is nota member of the committee. Btate Chairman Garman presided, except fora short time, when he surrendered the chair to W. H. Brainton of Lancaster, to speak upon the resolution, Immediately after the meeting was called to order, John B. Keene of Westmoreland offered a resolu- tion aeciaring: [hat a vacancy has been created and now exists in the membership of the National Committee by reason of the vol- untary withdrawal from politics and from participation in the deliberations of the committee of the late incumbent, William F. Harrity, and that he pot being in ac- cora with the principles of the Demo- cratic party, James M. Guffey of Pitts- burg, who so loyally supported William J. Bryan, be and is hereby selected to fili the vacancy.” Magistrate Charles P. Donnelly of Phila- delptia said the commiitee would make a mistake if it adopted this resolution on the eve of the great battle for Governor. it was the duty of the organization, he said, to bring about a condition of affairs that meant aggressiveness and harmony in the party, and the Democracy conld not go before the populace with the ex- pectation of winnins victories with a divided party organization. Mr. Donnelly denied a right of the State Commitiee to create a vacancy in the National Com- mittee. A warm debate followed and then Chair- m=an Garman, at the request of Mr. Don- nelly, read the correspondence between himself and Mr. Harrity, printed this morning. Mr. Garman followed with a long argument in iavor of tue resolution. More heated argument followed and he <uggested the reference of the question to W. J. Bryan. The vote followed with the resuit as stated and the action of the State committee will undoubtedly result ia an exciting time at the State convention. A WORDEN TO BE FPARDONED.

INCREASE DIRKS AND OPIOM |THE HOGUENOT N SAY QUENTIY Prison Authorities Un- able to Cope With the “Fiends.” Lack of Proper Discipline Ac- counts for Crimes at the Penitentiary. Convict Tim Whaley Attempts to Murder a Fellow-Prisoner, Who Flees for His Life. SAN QUENTIN PRISON, CaL, Aug. 30.—Since the great mutiny of three months ago the prison authorities have permitted few of the escapades of the con- victs behind the walls of the State’s big venitentiary to become public property. It'seems strange, but it is nevertheless a fact, that a large number of the convicts carry knives and dirks concealed on their persons. So frequent have become the stabbing affrays av San Quentin that the general public regards them as a mbtter of course. Last week another cutting scrape was barely prevented. Tim Wha'ey, who is serving a life sentence for murder, madea vicious assault upon Convict Morris, a colored man doing time for burglary, Whaley drew a knife and made a lunge at Morris, who dodged the thrust and ran. The attempt at murder was made near the prison wharf, where the freightboats dis- charge their supplies for the penitentiary. ‘Whaley, 1n his frenzy at being foiled in his murderous assault, gave chase, and then followed an exciting race for life. Morris bent every energy to keer out of the way of his assailant, and Whaley, with the drawn knife clutched in. his hand, pursued his intended victim until others put a stop to the chase. Whaley was disarmed, but, though he broke a number of the prison rules, Warden Hale has not seen fit to punish bim. The prison authorities state that they do not know how it is that convictsbehind the walls of the penitentiary go about armed with knives and dirks. That the men have these dangerous weapons has been repeatedly shown. During the matiny a number of weapons were found on the prisoners who were searched, and in a stabbing affray which occurred a couple of months ago the two vrincipals drew weapons, one a dirk and the other a razor. Warden Hale has frequently asserted thatit is impossible to break up what is known as the ‘“‘opium ring.” Opium is smuggied into the prison every day, and the convicts are never in want of thedrug. The most desperate criminals confiaed in 8an Quentin are the ringleaders in the traftic, which the officiais of the prison seem powerless to break up. Warden Hale has tried every method he can de- vise to put & stop to the smuggling, but the criminal use of the drug goes on with- out a hitch, and the convicts have any quantity of it. Various schemes are resorted to in order to smugele it behind cbe prisun walls. Ex-convicts have been caught in the act of burying the drug in the grounds sur- rounding the prison at places where the convicts doing work in the gardens can dig it up, hide it on their persons and carry it into the prison to the leaders of the opium ring, who dealitout at a profit, MISS BEAN BADLY INJURED., Stockton’s Female Enigma Almost Killed by a Leap From a HMoving Strestcar. S8TOCKTON, CaL., Aug. 30.—Miss Bean, who dressed in the garb of a manand who has been living on an ark in Stocke ton, met with a severe accident on Satur- day night which came near costing her life. While coming in from the southern part of the city on one of the fast electric- cars she signalled the motorman to stop, but he did not do so as soon as she ex- pected. She struck on her head, her left temple striking the steel rail on the oppo- site track, rendering her unconscious. The uufortunate girl was carried toa neighboring drugstore, whence, after sev- eral bours’ work by Dr. Oliver, she was able to be removed to her ark. It will be some time before this modern Rosalind will be able to be about. Besides the in- jury to her head she was severely injured about the shoulder and back.

SAN RAFAEL, CAn, Aug. 30.—The troubles of the Bensons came up before Superior Judge Angellotti to-day on a motion made by the defendant, County Auditor and Recorder Charles H. Ben- son, for a reduction of alimony and the custody of the boy. The recuction was granted. The Benson divorce case proved to be one of the most sensational ever brought in Marin County. Laura M. Benson made charges of a grave character against the Recorder and a decree was granted her by Judge Angellotti. She was given the cus- tody of the only child, a boy, and $60 a month alimony. Mrs. Benson removed to Santa Cruz with the child and gave music lessons. Benson claimed that the purpose of her removal was to get the boy out of his way. Judge Angellotti, taking into considera- tion that Mrs. Benson was earning money in Santa Cruz, reduced the alimony $10, making it $50 a month, and denied the motion to award the custody of the child to the father. SR Found Dead Near Armona. HANFORD, CarL, Aug. 30.—James Connors, a man who has been traveling around this county for about two months looking for work, was found dead in a bunch of weeds near Armona last night, He had been around Armona for about two weeks, and during that week had been on a prolonged drunk. His death was brobably the result of an over- indulgence in intoxicants. Connors was a native of New Haven, Conn., and was about 38 years of age. He had no money. e Death of a Pioneer Minister, VACAVILLE, CaL,, Aug. 30.—Rev. Dr J. B. Saxton, a pioneer Baptist minister, died at Vacavilie to-day.

With Anson out of the game the Colts were one man short, and Emslie pulled his clock and called the batter up. Ryan endeavored to bat, but was called from the plate. One minute having expired and no man coming up the man who should have faced the pitcher was declared out and play resumed. When the trouble arose the score was7 to 5 Jn favor of Chicago. They made three more runs in the ninth. When the New Yorks came to bat in thelr half of the ninth NEW YORK, N. Decker was on first base in place of Anson, and Friend covered left field, his form enveloped in a regulation Chicago Club dressing-gown, while on his head was a Chicago cap. The New Yorkers raised objections to the playing of Friend, who, they claimed,/was not in uniorm. Two men went out in succession and Joyce and Gleason began to protest \again. Mec- Creery was instructed not to go to bat and Emslie called the game, the score reverting to the eighth inning. Sullivan started to pitch, but three home runs anc a two-bagger in two innings caused Jis retirement. Seymour re- lieved him and pitched gnod ball until the eighth inning.

JOHN DREW DYING. Aged Mother of the Popular Actor Suffers From a Complication of Ailments. NEW YORK, N. Y. Aug. 30.—Mrs. John Drew is dying. The veteran come- dienne, who has been spending the sum- merat the Bevan House, Larchmont, N. Y., has for several years been a sufferer irom a complication of kidney and heart trobles, but no 1mmediate cause for alarm was felt until about a month ago, when there was a change for the worse, and since then she has been gradually grow- ing weaker. So critical was her condition Sunday that Dr. C. W. Jackson, who has been in constan: attendance, called in Dr. W. E. Bullard for consultation and the immediate relatives were advised to come at once. John Drew, who has bsen touring the Pacific Coast in *‘Rosemary, i company last night at Salt Lake and is coming direct to New York. He has been in constant communication with Dr. Jackson relative to nis mother’s condi- tion. Mrs. John Drew, the younger, is in Europe, near her daughter, who is at school there, and Miss Ethel Barrymore, Mrs. Drew’s granddaughter, not antici. pating the presert situation, only sailed a few days ago to join Sir Henry Irving’s company. They have both been advised by cable of tite elder Mrs. Drew’s condi- tion, and it is thought Mrs. Drew Jr. will return immediately. At the Bexan House with Mrs. Drew are Mrs, J. C. Stewald and her two daugh- ters, distant relatives of the Drews, and young ‘‘Jack” Barrymore, a son of the late Georgie Drew and Maurice Barry- more. Young Barrymore, who is a8 manly fel- low of 16 and devoted to his grandmother, was seen last evening immediately after & consultation with Dr. Jackson, and said there was no change for the better in the veteran actress’ condition. “You know at her age,”’ he volunteered, “there 18 very little vitality. Her heart is very weak, and I think the greatest im- mediale danger lies there.” The physi- cians in attendance entertain no hope of Mrs. Drew’s recovery. She is 77 years of are, and although she has led a very active life the ravages oi disease have snapped her strength. “I do not think there is a chance for Mrs. Drew,” said Dr. Jackson. ‘‘Her death is merely a question of a few days at the best, possibly a few hours.” "JIN" BURNETTS QUAINT JOSTICE How an Arizona Magis- trate Fined and Freed Murderers. Acted as Judge and Jury in All Cases and Pocketed the Proceeds. Incidents In‘the Career of the Man Recently Slain by Rancher Greene. PHENIX, Arrz., Aug. 30.—A stormy Iife 1t was that ended last month when ola “Jim"” Burnett was killed in Tomb- stone by William Greene —a life full of experiences of the border kind, that would supply material for twenty of the most thrilling of yellow-backed novels. The end was in keeping with the career. Bur- nett, a Justice of the Peace in Pearce Camp, had left his work in order to go down on the S8an Pedro River, fifty miles away, and blow out, with giant powder, the irrigating canal dam of his enemy, Greene. Below at the time, probably tn- known to Burnett, were two voung giris— a daughter of Greene, aged 18, and her friend from Bisbee. They were caught in the flood that followed the explosion and were drowned. The father learned of the presence of his foe, saddied his horse, rode over to Tombstone, found Burnett on the main street and shot him down. The town stood behind Greene in his deed. He has been admitted to light bail, ana will probably be acquitted if ever brought | to trial. Since Burnett’s decease many are the tales being raked up about him. Hiswasa singular personality. Strong wiiled and violent in temper, he especially shone ina frontier camp. It was, therefore, quite appropriate that he should have been elected Justice of the Peace in 1881 of Charleston, on the San Pedro, where the rich ores of Tombstone camp were at that time milled. Cnarleston was then a howling camp, full of freighters, miners and the woolliest of cowboys. The wuisky sold wasn't of the mildest brand, and, consequently, tribulation sat within the community and the Justice’s Court was always open. Burnett did a rushing business. At the end of three months he duly reported, as by law required, to the County Super- visors, sending his bill for the amount due him from the county. The county fathers cut the bill down by about one-half. Bur- nett swore vigorously when he got the re- turns, but beld no further communication with the county seat. Another three months elapsing, the County Treasurer wrote Burnett to furnish his quarierly | statement. Thereply came promptly. It was: *To blazes with you! This court after this will be self-sustaining.” And so it was in ereat shape, Every time a cowboy would get exhilarated ard | shoot up the town the Judge would fine him several hundred dollars and would | pocket what remained after paying his | constables for the arrest. One day old man Schwarlz got excited | and killed a man. After the Justice, as ex-officio Coroner, had finished the In- quest, he had Schwartz halea before the bar, found him guilty of the crime and fined him $1000. Scnwartz wanted to ap- | peal the case, but Burnett would issue no | papers on appeal. So the defendant sent up to Tombstone for Attorney Mark Smith, now delegate to Congress from Arizona. Shith came down at once and heard Schwartz's taie of woe. It was a | clear case of murder. | “Pay the money, you ass!” the lawver fairly shouted, “*and then go bury your- self somewhere down in Mexico.” Schwartz paid and skipoed, and the case was never again heard of in court, But the county never received any of’ that coin. Those who figured on the proposition said that Burnett came out $22,000 ahead on his office in two years. PERISHED IN QUEST GF GOLD.
