Smith, at that time assistant paymaster of the army. It was on June 25, 1876, that the massacre took place. The check is still unpaid,and soiled and tattered though it be, constitutes a valid claim against the Government for the amount repre- sented upon its face, which was, no doubt, intended as part payment of General Cueter’s salary as an officer of the United States Army. ‘Where the check has been all these years no one knows, feast of all Michael Francis, who found it in the etreet here last February, and who has retained it until now.

STATE COMMITTEE ENLARGED. One Representative From Each Senate Disteict the New Order. Convention Hall, Syracuse, Sept. 24.— Cool, bracing weather and bright skies «rected the members and boomers of "he State Convention when they arose | this morning. Nearly everybody was | astir early, for the announcement that there would be a meeting of the State Committee at 9 o’clock, at_ which the New York contest would be decided kept alive the interest in addition to the lively canvass for office being made for the candidates on the State ticket. There was no abatement in activity in this latter direction, and instead of de- creasing the number of eandidetes seemed to increase. Senator Hill’s room and the rooms of the State committee seemed to be the meoca and the influ- | ence of the leaders was sought by the | friends of the candidates to help their quest. All morning emissaries came and went, but no hints of a slate were thrown cut and the situation was un- changed, except that Judge Brown, of Orange, set a lively pace for the nomi- nation for Judge of the Court of Ap- peals. The throngs of delegates and boomers crushed and jammed through the hotel corridors and along the principai thoroughfares, talking excise and can- didates. When {t got towards 11 o'clock, those who were to he alternates and spectators began to throng towards the convention hall wisely enough, for the hall will not seat all the vast crowd that is now on the ground. The Alhambra rink present- ed a picturesque appearance. From the centre of the roof long streamers of red, white and blue stretched to every corner of the big hall and eyery streamer bore a dozen American flags. On each side of the hall the long lines of bunting are draped extending to each half dozen raft- ers at the side, back over the big gallery, to the rear, up to the big stage in front. In the centre hung a monster lantern of American flags. Festoons of red, white and blue are on each side of the stage and each side of the door at the rear, red, | white and blue cover the rail of the gal- | lery in the rear and red, white and blue | is hung over the footlights on the stage | Over the stage an American eagle flaps | his wings. | After the 900 delegates and alternates | are seated, there is room on the floor of the hall for about 400 visitors. On the stand are seats for 300 more, 150 seats on | a side. | | State Committee is Enlarged. | ‘The State Committee has decided to in- | crease its number to fifty, one from each | Senate district. | Between 10 and 13 o'clock the principal | ‘interest centered about the Yates, where | the State Committee was to meet. Sena- | tor Hill was ready quite early, but Chair- man Hinckley and some of the others were tardy in coming to the convention hall, and the result was that 10 o'clock struck before the committee got together. The session lasted just six minutes by the watch, and the only business transacted was the adoption of a resolution that the committee recommend the increase of the State Committee to fifty members. The | usual convention resolutions were adopt- ed and the committee adjourned, | The resolution provides, as detailed by the Associated Press last night, that there shall be one State Committeeman from each Senatorial district—fifty in all —instead of thirty-four, as now. | When the result of the committee's | meeting was emnounced in the corridors ft | was cecelved with general approbation. After the meeting Congressman Bulzer was asked if there was any discusion of | an excise plank. He sald: , | “Oh, ne; that is practically settled. The | plank of last year, in substance, will be | adopted, and on the end wiil be a per- | feotly plain clause suggesting local op- ton ss a referendum. There will be no | roasting of New York city officials for enforcing the present law.” | This statement was carried to the lead- ers of the reform element and they ex- pressed dissatisfaction because it was, in their opinion, stringent enough. They will meet this afternoon to consider the | matter, and then will present their views | to the Committee on Resolutions. pe es OSCAR WILDH’S DEBTS TO BE PAID.

New Bernz, N.C., March 26, 1895, Lyon Manufacturing Co., Brooklyn, N.Y. i Gentlemen:—I have been acquainted with Mexican Mustang Liniment for 88 years and think there is no liniment on the market that is its equal for man and beast. Before the war it was the only remedy that was used upon the farm were I lived for cuts, sores, bruises, and pain or soreness arising from any hurt to the k dy of man or beast. During 1885 I preached in bboy ee N.C. Mr. Willis, a paint- er of that place had something the matter with his and. he never knew what. He suffered night and day, @ constant misery, and tried everything he heard of with- out getting any relief. When I heard of his condition I had him get a bottle of Mexican Mustang Liniment and use it and it cured him completely and he was able to use his hand as before.
