WS CONVICTED
The Murderer of Crowley Again Found
Guilty.
THE SECOND TRIAL BEFORE A JURY
The Probability is That He Will
Pay the Penalty.
IT WAS A HARD-FOUGHT BATTLE
And the Attorneys for the Defense Did All
They Could but the Evidence Was
Against Them.
June 25. —In the case of
state against Will J. Myers, charg
with the murder of Forest Crowley,
jury brought in a verdict of guilty
recommendation. This is the
trial of this case and has lasted
■ore than a week, having been begun
Monday of last week.
■ I'he judge finished his charge to the
■ry at a late hour Monday night and
Botdjourned court to 9 o’clock Tuesday
B morning, when the jury were ready

■ ' The crime, which is yet fresh in the
■ minds of the public, has attracted more
usual attention on account of the
■brutality of the murder and the youth
■and previous good character of the mur

■ The case has been stubbornly fought
■on both sides, and in the second trial a
■large number of witnesses were intro-
to establish the existence of one

The Governor’s Condition Grows More
Hopeful Every Day.
Atlanta, June 35.—Governor At
kinson's condition has been such to
day as to cause his friends much
gratification.
* There seems to be no obstacle in
the way of his early recovery now.
He continues to take uourishment
and is gaining in strength and
spirits.
It is a strange coincidence that
Lieutenant-Colonel Hall, a member of
"his staff, now residing in Washington
City, was operated on for appendi
citis only a few days before the gov
ernor was stricken and has entirely
recovered.

ANOTHER PLGRIMAGE.
American* Will Visit Places of Historic
Interest Acron* the Water.
New York, June 25.—There will be
another American pilgrimage to the
1 ehrine of Lourdes this year under the
direction of the Fathers of Mercy. The
pilgrims will sail on the Red Star line
steamship Westernland on July 10 and
will return in the middle of September.
Mgr. Satolli has thus endorsed the pil-
. grimage:
I “I learn with very great pleasure
that the success which attended the
pilgrimage made last year to Rome and
other European shrines has encouraged
the Fathers of Mercy to undertake the
organization and direction of a similar
one this year.
I, “Surely nothing could be more desir-
■ able at this time than the reawakening
of that spirit of lively faith which gave
rise in centuries gone by to the pious
custom of visiting these places, made
sacred by some special connection with
the origin or growth of our holy relig
ion. Last year the pilgrimage was
composed of faithful from a restricted
territory. lam glad that this year you
have determined to make it more gen
eral. You have my best wishes for the
success of the undertaking, and I am
sure that you and all that co-operate
with you will reap rich blessings.”
Archbishop Corrigan, in a letter to
the Rev. Father William Smith says:
••The attraction offered to intending
pilgrims is very great and I trust that
many Catholics will be able to take
part in these religious exercises. A
pilgrimage, devoutly made to a distant
ehn ne, is a sublime act of faith. I con
gratulate you and your reverend com
panions on the prospect that our coun
try will be well represented in this
grand demonstration of Christian
piety.”

THE ROHE TRIBUNE.
WILL HAVE HELP.
S he Retiring Ministry Will A«ht th. New
Government In Panting the E.tlmutes.
London, June 25.—1 tis announced
that the Marquis of Salisbury has re
ceived assurances that the outgoing
ministry will assist the new govern
ment in passing the estimates in time
to enable parliament to dissolve by July
10. A great deal of interest during the
present crisis centers in the course
which Mr. Gladstone will decide to
adopt. His secretary, when questioned
on the subject said that he does not in
tend to issue a manifesto. He will re
main in town for a few days, and will
then go to Hawarden.
Mr. Gladstone spent the morning in
disposing of an accumulation of letters,
and in the afternoon he visited the
British museum.
Mr. Justin McCarthy, leader of the
Irish National party and member of
parliament for north Longford, ex
pressed himself confident that an ap
peal for funds to enable the members of
his party to contest seats in the coming
general election will meet with a
prompt response. He says they are
able to defend every seat which will be
attacked if the necessary funds are
forthcoming.
It is expected that the Healyites will
undertake an independent campaign
and they are said to be confident of se
curing a majority among the Irish Na
tionalists in the new “parliament. Mr.
John Redmond, the Parnellite leader,
member of the house of commons for
the city of Waterford, announces the
intention of the members of his party
to contest every seat in Ireland at the
coming general election.
AM E RIC AN3 CONFID ENT.
They Think Corn.U Will Come Ou* Vlo
tarlon. In the Race.
New York, June 35.—A special from
Binghampton, N. Y., to The Press
says: According to a letter received in
this city by a member of the Cornell
university from a member of the Cor
nell crew, now in England, Courtney
is fooling the Englishmen. Among
other things, the writer says: "Do not
pay any attention to the rot you see in
the newspapers. Ever since our arrival
Courtney has been making monkeys of
the English newspaper men. The crew
have bean changed each day and every
stroke known has been rowed. The
second day we were here we made the
course in seven seconds less than the
race rowed in last year, and 19 seconds
less than the year before.
“The boys and their friends are all
confident of winning. The Americans
all feel sure Cornell will win. Court
ney is very strict and will not allow
the crew to be introduced to anybody;
otherwise all are enjoying themselves.
Considerable money will be placed on
the race. ’ ’

ftlcn rm<i in Arizona.
Hackberry, June 25 —From Peach
Springs comes the story of the finding
of a nugget or boulder rather, of pure
silver, such as there has been no record
of in the history of mining in the west.
The boulder weighed about half a ton
and its value is anywhere from SB,OOO
to SIO,OOO. It was found by William
Tucker and John Doyle, both prospect
ors, and they have kept the facts to
themselves heretofore because of the
chanoe that there was more silver
where this lump came from, and they
desired to get the best location for
themselves before letting the rest of the
world into the secret.
Thu Alpine Tunnel Opened.
Denver, June 25.—The Alpine tun

is 1,775 feet long and was bored nine
years ago at a oost of $260,000.
ROME, GA.t WEDNESDAY. JUNE 26. 1895.
BRILLIANT WEDDING.
Prince Emanuel Flliberto and Princess
Helene United.
NOTED FEOPLE WERE PRESENT
The Surroundings Were Beau
tiful and the
CEREMONS WAS AN IMPRESSIVE ONE
Xhe Bride is the Second Daughter of the
Countess of Paris and the Sister of
the Duke of Orleans.
London, June 25.—Prinoe Emanuel
Filiberto, Duke of Aosta, and nephew
of King Humbert of Italy, was married
at the Church of St. Raphael, Kings
ton-onthe-Thames, his bride being the
Princess Helene of Orleans, the second
daughter of the Countess of Paris and
sister of the Duke of Orleans.
The wedding ceremony was a most
brilliant affair. The route from Kings
ton railroad station to the church was
spanned by triumphant arches made
dazzling with color by a multitude of
French and Italian flags and ensigns,
and by escutcheons representing the
arms of Savoy and of the house of Or
leans.
Enthusiastic masses of people lined
the streets of Kingston and cheered the
arrivals most heartily. Nine gentle
men of the Orleans household in full
dress, black lined with blue silk, with
gold buttons and white waistcoats, and
wearing many orders and other decora
tions, had charge of the church. Ther.
they received the ladies and gentlemen,
the former in gorgeous toilets and the
latter nearly all in splendid uniforms,
who came by carriages in streams from
all parts.
Among the first to arrive were the
Prince and Princess de Joinville, the
Duke of Aurnale, the Duke of Cnatres,
Princess Margaret of Orleans, the Aus
tro Hungarian ambassador to Great
Britain, Count Deym Von Strietz, Sir
Frederick Leighton, president of the
Royal academy, and the Dake and
Duchess of Teok.
The interior of the church was made
positively beautiful with artistic floral
decorations, softened by the judicious
use of palms, ferns and other plants,
contrasting nicely with the colors of
tne ladies’ toilets and with the uniforms
of the military guests.
In the front of the altar were two
gold chairs, upholstered with red vel
vet, for the use of the bride and bride
groom, and on either side of them were
smaller gilt chairs for the accommoda
tion of the witnesses of the marriage
ceremony.
The family pews, richly draped with
red velvet, trimmed with gold, were
reserved for the members of the Orleans
family and for the relatives of the
Duke of Aosta.
The Infanta Eulalieof Spain, wife of
Prince Antonio of Bourbon-Orleans,
arrive! at the church at 13 a. m. and
was closely followed by the Duke of
Orleans in ev'-uiug dress and escorted
by four gardes chasse (game keepers) in
their handsome blue uniforms from the
Chateau D’E.i. The duke occupied the
seat on the left of the bride’s chair.
The Duke of Aosta in the uniform of
his regiment (he is a colonel of the
Fifth regiment of Italian siege artillery)
and wearing the order of the Black
Eagle, entered the church at 10:20 a.
m. and shook hands cordially with the
Duke of Orleans, after which he seated
himself in the gold chair prepared for
hi-; use.
The next arrival was the Prince of
W ales.
MATRIMONIAL FEE WAR.
Justices of the Peace un I a Probate Judge
In a squabble.
Kansas City, June 25.—A matrimo
nial fee war is threatened in Kansas
City and marriage ceremonies may be
performed cheaper than now. The jus
tices of the peace are dissatisfied with
the manner in 'which Probate Judge
Angle is handling the matrimonial end
of his court and they threaten to give a
“dull season” rate to all men who are
brave enough to take unto themselves
better halves.
The justices claim that the probate
judge is violating the code of ethics of
the profession in soliciting trade in the
matrimonial line.
They contend that when they send
men who are determined to marry to
the courthouse after the necessary li
censes they seldom return to have the
ceremonies performed. They assert
that Judge Angle solicits the prospec
tive grooms to permit him to tie the
knots, and that the judge with his flue
persuasive powers almost always suc
ceeds in getting the job. A justice
stated that in order to bring the pro
bate judge to time, there was talk
among the justices of reducing the
price. They will first reduce the fee to
SI.OO and if that does not have the de
sired effect they will perform ceremo
nies for awhile for nothing.

BOURBON BITTERNESS
The Democratic Convention at Louisville
Now On.
COMMITTEES ’PLACES CONTESTED
Scheming by Both Sides to Get
Control.
THESOUND MONEYMEN WANTEDCLAY
Over Hardin, Who is for Free Coinage—
Carlisle the Only Prominent Kentucky
Democrat Not Present.
Louisville, June 25. —The Demo
cratic state convention is more than the
annual political derby. It may be a
record breaker in other respects; but
there is no doubt about it being of the
highest grade in Bourbon bitterness,
rne delegates from the 11 congressional
districts met at 10 a. m. to choose their
respective members for the different
committees. Every place on each com
mittee was sharply contested, especially
those for the committees on resolutions,
rules and order of business. The con
trol of the latter committee was wanted
by the Hardin or silver men so that
nominations would precede the adop
tion of the platform.
The “sound money” men who fa
vored Clay for governor wanted the
platform adopted first so that in the
event of the nomination of General
Hardin, who is for free coinage, the
latter could not influence the commit
tee in framing a platform to suit his
views for unlimited coinage- General
Hardin has been co operating with Sen
ator Blackburn in all the preliminary
skirmishes.
There was a double contest in select
ing members of the committee on reso
lutions. First, both the silver and the
gold men wanted to get a majority of
the members so as to have the respect
ive views incorporated into the plat
form. Secondly, Senator Joe Black
burn and ex-Governor J. B. McCreary,
both candidates for the senatorship,
were ruuing their first heat in compe
ting for the chairmanship of the com
mittee on resolutions. The senatorship
is involved in the control of the con
vention more than the governorship or
any of the state offices. The other can
didates for senator are ex Governor
Buckner and Governor Brown.
Blackburn and Brown are for free
silver; McCreary and Buckner are
against it. All are on the ground
watching the chances. Senator Lind
say is working with Clay, McCreary,
Buckner and others for an “honest
money” plank. About the only promi
nent Kentucky Democrat who is not
here is Secretary Carlisle, and he is
represented here by his private secreta
ry, appointment clerk and others from
Washington.
The conservatives worked hard for a
compromise on the selection of two
members at large for each of the com
mittees. The state committee did not
select the temporary officers, but the
convention was in the hands of Chair
man J. D. Carroll of the state commit
tee till it elected a temporary chairman,
for which position the silver men want
ed Judge William Bee mar, and the
sound money mm wanted Congress
man W. J. Stone.
As the chairman of the convention
appointed two members at large of the
committee on resolutions and on all
other there was a very hot
fight for the presiding officer and the
conservatives had no'hearing on their
plan to divide the members at large of
the committees, each side getting one
member. This would leave the contest
to the 11 congressional districts as to
who controlled the committees, but
neither side would listen to the conser
vatives. It was evident from the start
that each side would take everything it
could get and give no quarter to oppo
nents. .y
borne or tne delegation meetings tast
ed until noon, when it was announced
that the convention would assemble at
once. The silver men were very much
excited, and charged trickery in the
selection of members of committees in
some districts.
The hottest fight was in the Seventh
congressional district, where Senator
Blackburn was beaten for member of
the committee on resolutions by Pro
fessor Arthur Yeager, the friend of
Secretary Carlisle. The delegates from
that district are largely for honest
money and the administration, includ
ing the endorsement of Cleveland and
Carlisle by name, but Blackburn had
hoped to get the support of personal
friends who oppose his free silver views.
The following is the committee on res
olutions: »
First district—Augustus Coulter, sil
ver. Second district —W. T. Ellis, sil
ver. Third district—John S. Rhea,
silver. Fourth district—E. D. Walker,
conservative. Fifth district—J. M.
Atherton, gold. Sixth district—R. A.
Elliston, gold. Seventh district—Pro
fessor Arthur Yeager, gold. Eighth
district James B. McCreary, gold.
Ninth district—John F. Haager, gold.
Tenth district —John P. Salyer, gold.
Eleventh district—R. M. Jackson, con
servative.
•rne antisnver men claim that the
conservatives will vote with them for
a sound money platform, including the
endorsement of the administration and
the special mention of President Cleve
land and Secretary Carlisle. Messrs.
Coulter, Elliston and Rhea announced
at once that there would be a minority
report signed by them, if by no others,
and that there would be a fight to a
finish on the floor of the convention.
The silver men are still depending on
the Hardin forces, so organizing the
convention as to give them the two I
members at large of the committee on '
resolutions, in which event the conger- I
vatives might hold the balance of
power. Tn® administration men, now
ever, condit >nally claim a majority of
the committee that will frame the plat
form and they appeal to General Har
din to prevent such a fight as will em
barrass his campaign by wide differ
ences in the party.
The results of the district meetings
tend to moderate the fight that was ex
pected on the assembling of the con
vention in selecting a chairman. It
was said that no concessions would be
granted, but now all the leaders are
hopeful of such concessions on both
sides as will prevent serious fighting.
CAPTAIN HOWGAT—’S CASE.
A Bill of Exceptions to Be Filed by Hie
Attorneys In a Few Days.
Washington, June 25. —The case of
Captain Henry Howgate, recently con
victed in the criminal court of forgery
and the falsification of government ac
counts, probably will be taken up in
the district court of appeals during the
first week of October. His counsel are
preparing a bill of exceptions to carry
the case to the higher court, and expect
to file it in a lew days.
The feature of the bill and the point
on which the strongest fight will be
made is the “fugitive from justice”
question. It will be contended that
Howgate was fully entitled to the ben
efits of the statutes of limitations and
that the position of the court as set out
in the charge to the jury and in over
ruling many points made by the de •
sense was wrong. The sentence may
be pronounced by Judge McComas dur
ing the present week, although no date
has been fixed as yet.
The offences of which Captain How
gate was convicted make him liable to
a sentence of from one to 20 years’ im
prisonment on each of the two indict
ments. The probability is that he will
remain in jail pending the action of the
appellate court, as it is understood that
bail will be refused if offered.
STUCK TO HIS POST.
Motormftn on an Electric Car Fatally
Injured In a Wreck.
Pittsburg, June 25.—The fast meat
train on the West Pennsylvania rail
road collided with an electric car on
the Sharpsburg and Citizens’ line at
Sharpsburg at 12:30 o’clock a. m. and
five people were injured. The names
are:
Daniel Nolan, motorman, fatally in
jured.
Dr. G. M. Kelley, badly hurt, but not
fatally.
Dan Cyphers, Mrs. Noble and Frank
Dougherty, cut and bruised.
There were about 30 passengers on
the car, and the accident occurred at a
crossing. Just as the electric cars had
reached the railroad tracks the trolley
came off, leaving the car in darkness.
The engineer of the approaching train,
which was running at a high rate of
speed, did not see the car till he was
quite to it. He applied the air
< Drakes but could not prevent the col
lision. Most of the passengers on the
street car were able to get off before
the accident occurred, but the motor
man stuck to his post and will proba
bly forfeit his life as the result.
IN SESSION IN CHICAGO.
Executive Board of the International
Deep Waterway Association Meet.
Chicago, June 25. —The executive
board of the International Deep Water
way association met at the sanitary
district offices and will continue in ses
sion for two or three days. This board
consists of 17 members, distributed
from Boston to Winnipeg, on both sides
of the chain of the great lakes. The
organization is the outgrowth of the
Toronto convention, held September
last, which declared in favor of ocean,
navigation of a depth of not less than
20 feet into the great lakes
The special object of the present
meeting of the board is to arrange for
the holding of a convention in Septem
ber next Cleveland, Detroit and Chi
cago are suggested as places of meeting.
It is proposed to make the conven
tion a deliberate body of delegates from
the various trades and municipal or
ganizations to be selected on account of
their special knowledge. The topics
are to cover all phases of the question,
from the transportation, commercial
and engineering standpoints, which
are to be arranged and special days as
signed for their discussion, so that the
literature of this convention will be ex
haustive on the subject matter.

Mach Confusion as to the Prospects of
a Conference.
THS ATTITUDE OF GERMANY
Advocates of an International
Agreement Think '1 hat
THE CHANGE OF ADMINISTRATION
In England Will be in the Interest of the
Movement and They Are Very
Much Encouraged.
Washington, June 25.—There is ap
parently considerable confusion as to
the prospects of an international con
ference to consider the rehabilitation
of silver to be called on the initiative
of Germany. This is due to the con
flicting reports that have been received
and also apparently to the complica
tions of the question as it presents itself
in Germany.
Those who have given attention to
the rvoorasa of the agitation in Ger
many say that Chancellor von Hohen
lohe announced in the beginning that
Germany’s action in the matter would
depend upon two circumstances. The
first of these was that the German state
legislature bodies should instruct for
the issuance of the call; and the second
that there should be a substantial
agreement among the powers as to the
terms of the calk
The latest report makes it appear
that a majority of the federal govern
ments want the conference and desire
that Germany should issue the call for
it It is understood now that accept
ing this action on the part of the differ
ent states in the light of an instruction
the chancellor will proceed to negotiate
with the other European powers as to
the terms of the call.
The United States have made known
their wishes in this respect so far as
the legislative branch of the govern
ment can act in the resolution appoint
ing congressional delegates. In this
resolution provision was made that the
United States should be represented
only in case the conference should be
called to provide for a restoration of
bimetallism.
When the question was before the
Prussian diet, an effort was made by
Chancellor Von Hohenlohe to amend
the resolution so as to leave out the re
quirement that the call should be on
these lines, but it failed. If the other
federal German states have taken the
same position as Prussia, the chancel
lor, it is said, will be virtually pledged
to vote Germany for a call on a basis of
a return to the bimetallic system. It
then remains to he determined whether
the powers will accept this basis, and
especially what England may do in the
premises.
The advocates of an international
understanding feel that the change of
administration in England will be in
the interest of the movement, and they
are, upon the whole, considerably en
couraged over the outlook for another
conference
WILL GO TO HAWAII.
A Schooner to Carry Arms and Ammuni
tion to the Islands.
Seattle, Wash., June 25. The
schooner G. W. Watson, which cleared
from this port at the local customs
office with 575,000 feet of lumber for
Honolulu, intends to take on field
pieces, small arms and ammunition off
Cape Flattery. A large shipment of
arms and ammunition has been made
to the sound by rail and is now either
stored or cached at various points along
the sound in the vicinity of Everett
and Whatcom. After the Watson
rounds at Cape Flattery it is said that
she will dump her big cargo of lumber
into the sea and a large number of
small sloops and schooners will sail sea
ward from the nearby ports named,
bringing the cargo.
After the lumber cargo has gone into
the waves it is said that she will head
for a small island in the Hawaiian
group, which has been selected and is
peculiarly adapted to the landing of the
contraband cargo. If her plans do not
miscarry, an insurrection may be ex
pected to follow.
A bold scheme is said to have been
unearthed by the government agents
recently. It is said that some San
Francisco shippers and a woman in
Honolulu who is worth $2,500,000, pro
posed fitting up a schooner at inis port
with heavy guns and small arms, and
then go to a small island in the Ha
waiian group and fortify themselves,
etc.
It was calculated that the strength
of the Royalists and the supposed allies
of ex Queen Lililoukalani in San Fran
cisco would greatly help out the scheme.
It is also said a c-Ttain man in this city,
wellknown for his fighting ability, was
offered command of the expedition at a
salary of $350 per month. If success
ful he was to have a high position un
der the royal government

Cleveland, June 25.—A special from
Lorraine, 0., to the Evening Post says:
The Johnson Steel company posted No
