democrats of Ohio, in state convention
assembled, reversed the promtneiamen
tos qI all previous state as well as na
tional gatherings, of the party, in de
claring unequivocally in favor of the
free coinage of silver; and by a vote al
most as large, endorsement was given
thiough the medium of an indirect re
solution to the attitude taken bv Sena
tor Calvin S. Brice in the recent tariff
reform contest. The debate on those
two issues occupied nearly four hours
of the continuous session. In twelve
minutes more, the entire ticket had
been nominated and the convention had
ajourned sine die.
_ Gie senatorial issue a motion to
simply declare in favor of the election
of L nited States senators by a direct

Ermstone, of Hamilton; state school
commissioner. James A. Leech, of
franklin; member board of public

convention assembled on the 17th in
stant—Gentlemen: Having carried out
your instructions and presented demo

POPULISTS CLAIM FRAUD.
Serious C barges Made Against the Demo
crats of Augusta.
Augusta, Ga., September 20. —The
populists held a mass meeting- at the
courthouse last night to protest against
alleged fraudulent registration of
voters, and demanded an investigation
of the same. J. L. Cartledge presided:
over the meeting and he charged that
the democrats had heelers at the tax
collector's office, registering negro boys
under twenty-one years of age-, each
from four to seventeen times, and that
negroes could not be located at places
they gave as their residences. A com
mittee was appointed to wait upon So
licitor Cohen, of the county court, to
demand an investigation and to insist
upon a stoppage of the frauds that they
say are being daily perpetrated.
THE SIZE OF THE BUILDING.
How Much Area the Govefment Building
at the Atlauta Exposition Will Cover.
Washington, September 20. —Repre-
sentative Livingston has left Washing
ton for Atlanta. Mr. Livingston came
on to discover, if possible, what dimen
sions the government building would
have. Neither Secretary C arlisle nor
his lately decapitated supervising archi
tect, Mr. O'Rourke are able to state
even relatively what proportion the
building will have. Mr. Kemper, who
represents the treasury cm the board
said yesterday that the building would
hardly cover over 3AOOO feet. Last
night, after giving the matter closer
consideration, he said the plans might
cover 50,000 square feet.

Mistaken Report That the thioww War

Shanghai, September 2tV—Despite
the previous dispatch stating that the
Chinese warship Chen-Yuen was sunk
in the engagement off the mouth of the
Yulariver.it seems certain that she
was nut sunk, though she is badly dam
aged, at the same time it seems certain
that the Chen-Yuen and the other
Chinese ships mentioned were sent to
the bottom as stated.

MANDAMUS AGAINST CARLISLE.
Effort to Compel a l’rellminary Inspection
of Sugar fane Industry.
Washington, September 20. —The
Miles Planting and Manufacturing
company, a corporation of the state of
Louisiana, organized for the purpose of
planting and growing sugar cane and
manufacturing sugar, yesterday after
noon filed in the supreme court of the
district of Columbia a petition for a
writ of mandamus directed against
Senator Carlisle and Commissioner of
Internal Revenue Miller, to compel
those two officials to make a prelimi
nary inspection of their works. The
petition says that the company was
induced to go into the sugar business
by the bounty act of October 1, ls'.to.
The commissioner of internal reve
nue issued five to them July 2,
1824. for their manufactories which are
situated at Amite, Homer, Monroe, St.
James and .New Hope, and they were
required to give bonds for $250,000.
There is a rule of the treasury depart
ment which requires preliminary in
spection of a manufactory of sugar,
and the petition states that the present
is the time for such inspection of the
company’s works, but both Commis
sioner Miller and Secretary Carlisle
have refused to comply with this rule.
They claim that thi.3 is illegal and will
damage them to the extent of $50,000.
They sav there is no substance to the
pretext that the new tariff law which
went into effec* August 28th last, re
peals and annuls the old law, and that
the failure of the government to in
spect their works practically amounts
to the destruction and confiscation of
their property. A rule to show cause
was issued by the court returnable on
October 4th.
KILLED HUNTING COMPANION.
Unprovoked Marker Near Amcricus—Negro
•he Assassin.
A v Emeus, Ga., September 20. —An
unprovoked murder occurred near the
plantation of J. M. Johnson late yester
day afternoon. Ed Westbrook and a
•companion, two negroes, were hunting
'squirrels. Will Nivon, another negro
hearing them, left his work picking
cotton, and joined them in the woods.
Westbrook and .Nixon began to joke
each other about the merit of their
dogs. Wesbrook became enraged and
discharged a load, of shot from his gun
into the head of Nixon who was unarm
ed, killing him instantly. Westbrook
then threatened to kill his hunting
companion unless he promised to not
report the killing, saying the buzzards
would soon eat him up. Westbrook
was arrested and placed in jail.
EBB TIDE OF WOMEN CLERKS.
New Policy In Treasury Appointments—The
Females Must Go.
Washington, September 20. —The
large number of women clerks dismiss
ed outright in the treasury department
during the past few days lias attracted
considerable attention here. It is said
to mark anew policy in treasury ap
pointments in the future. Of the clerks
so far discharged fully five-sixths have
been women clerks of the high-salaried
grades. The vacancies created by the
discharge of the women will be filled
by the appointment or promotion of
men to their places. The flood tide of
women clerks in the treasury depart
ment has been reached and henceforth
it is said, men will usually be appoint
ed to the higher places.

two other classes, SI,OOO and $1,500.

THE TILLMAN CONVENTION NOMINEES.
Ocala Platform Adopted and the Dispen
sary Endorsed-The Conservatives,
or Old Line Democracy, in
Separate Harness.
Columbia, S. C., September 20. —The
state democratic convention was called
to order at 12 o'clock yesterday by Sen
ator Irby, chairman of the executive
committee. Over 300 delegates were
present, every county being represented.
A large majority were Tillmanites, only
one delegation, that from Charleston,
being conservative. Anew constitu
tion of the party was adopted, which
provides for a direct primary for every
candidate for any office from coroner
up.
The platform endorses the Ocala plat
form, as well as the Chicago platform,
demands the free coinage of silver at a
ratio of 1(3 to 1. and endorses the dis
pensary law as the best solution of the
dispensary question.
4 leveland Not Mentioned.
One section of the platform, as at first
drawn, which denounced President
Cleveland for failing- to carry out the
pledges of the party and for prosti
tuting congress by patronage to carry
out his policy, was finally killed and no
mention of the president or the national
administration was made. The Charles
ton delegation tried hard to get the con
vention to come or.t squarely on the
democratic platform and denounce pop
ulism. but their efforts were defeated
by an overwhelming vote. The conven
tion then nominated John Cary Evans
for governor; W. 11. Timwerman. lieut
governor; W. T. C. Bates, treasurer; O.
W. Buchanan, attorney general, and
took a recess until S:80 p. m. The nom
inees are all Tillmani tes and had no op
position. The Charleston delegates an
nounced in the convention that they
would not support the 3iominees be
cause they were not on a, true demo
cratic platform. They were hissed and
jeered and started to leave the hall, but
l’or some reason did not do .so.
The Complete Ticket Nominated.
On the convention reassembling, bal
loting for the other state officers was
commenced and resulted: For secre
tary of state, D. 11. Tompkins, at pres
ent Tillman’s private secretary; for
comptroller general, James Norton,
now chief clerk in that office; for adju
tant and inspector general, John Gary
Watts; for superintendent of education,
W. D. Mayfield, incumbent.
The convention concluded its labors
by nominating W. D. Evans, H. R.

commissioners.

Savannah. Ga., September 20.—Sen
ator Patrick Walsh spoke at the theater
last night to a crowded house. About
eight hundred people were gathered in
the theater to hear him. He was intro
duced to the audience by Hon. F. G.
Dubignon, chairman of the democratic
executive committee of Chatham coun
ty. He announced himself in favor of
the fi ee coinage of silver, saying this
government should have a financial
policy of its own and that the only
ratio aud the established one was 16 to

ed and was widely and enthusiastically

remarks. He left the city today for

the New Tariff a Law from August 28.
Washington, September 20. —Solici-
tor Reeves, of the treasury department,
in an elaborate opinion decides that
the new tariff act became operative
from August 28th, notwithstanding
that the enacting clause named August
Ist as the date upon which it took
effect. The views of Solicitor Reeves
are concurred in by all the treasury
officials, and they have been acting
under this construction of the law since
August 28th last. Quite a number of
appeals from this date, August 28th,
have been filed with the collector at
New York and the question will doubt
less be taken to the -ecnirts for final de
cision.

JUTE MILLS TO REDUCE WAGES.
The American Manufacturing Company
Gives Notice to Its Employes.
New York. September 20. —Each of
the seven hundred employes in the jute
mill of the American manufacturing
company, in Greenpoint, yesterday, re
ceived the following notice:
The government of the United States,
having removed the duty on bagging,
it can now be imported free. Bagging
is manufactured in India. Germany and
Scotland. Wages in those countries are
as follows:
For weavers, spinners and men labor
ers, ten cents per day in India, thirty
cents per day in Germany, forty-five
cents per day in Scotland, and other
elasses in proportion.
In spite of these very' low wages paid
in other countries, the company hopes
that it may be found possible to con
tinue the business here. Inquiry is
being made as to the cost of landing
bagging here from other countries, and
on the information obtained the man
agement will determine what course to
pursue. It is with much sorrow that
the employes are notified that under
the best conditions that are hoped for
it will not be possible to contin
ue to pay the present scale of
wages. By about November 1 it will
be decided whether the mill can be run
at all, and, if so, at what rate of pay
for each class of employes. In the
meantime the present rate of wages
will continue to be paid.
THE LYNCHING AT VALDOSTA.
The Confession of the Negro Fiend Called
Forth the Most Intense Excitement.
Vaidosta, Ga., September 20. — There
was great excitement here fr*om the
moment the fiend Goosby entered tlie
town, but it was suppressed. The
lynching probably would not have oc
curred except for the fact that yester
day Goosby confessed and gave in de
tail the story of the horrible crime.
The knife with which the little girl's
throat was cut was the property of her
father. The confession caused great
excitement which cooler citizens tried
to counteract. It seems, however, that
a few of the more impetuous remained
on the streets. At midnight the train
from Thomasville came in. It brought
a small party of men. The story of
the confession was recounted and in a
few minutes the jail doors were broken
down with sledge hammers and Goosby
was taken out and hanged. While
hanging his body was filled with bul
lets. Before news of the lynching had
gotten out the military at Valdosta re
ceived a telegram from Governor
Northen directing them to protect the
prisoner. Had he been alive when the
order was received the militia would
have garrisoned the jail.
WHAT THE CONTRACTS MEAN.
Tammany Hall Contractors Made the
Kings of Finance.
New York, September 20. —Next to
being a bonanza king comes the Tam
many hall contractors. Commissioner
of Public Works Daly yesterday award
ed about $840,000 worth of street paving
contracts. In view of the fact that the
fall elections are not far distant, the
sum will be a political benediction and
a blessing among the fortunate Tamma
ny hall politicians. They are Contrac
tors James Pollock, William F. Biard,
John G Smith and 11. H. McCullagh.
Pollock managed to secure the lai’gest
contract, being awarded the job of pav
ing and regulating the granite blocks
on twenty-one streets. This will give
nim $200,000 of the whole amount.
GILROY NOW CHIEF ADVISER.
He is Installed a Member of Tammany’s
Executive Committee.
New York, September 20. —Mayor
Gilroy took his seat in the Tammany
executive committee yesterday as a
member. The meeting of the commit
the was called suddenly and for the
evident purpose of giving the mayor a
place upon it. His presence in the com
mittee without holding a membership
was arousing the ire of some of the
Tammany men.
Politicians regard the matter as a
elever piece of political work. The per
sons who ODjeet to Mayor Gili-oy taking
Mr. Crocker's place as chief adviser of
the executive committee will be silenc
ed in the future.
EDITOR SWINTON NOT ILL.

the best of health. I did not speak
yesterday, though it was my intention,
but I was prevented from doing so by
an accident which required m3- presence
elsewhere. I was not ill. nor was I
taken home in a carriage."

est was taken, particularly by an A. P.

STORY OF THE MURDER OF CROWLEY.
One of the Most Atrocious of Crimes, the
Outcome of a Deep ami Well Planned
Conspiracy—Prominent Young
Men Who Figure.
Atlanta, Ga., September ‘2o.—The
complete details of the murder of For
rest Crowley in a thicket just beyond
West View cemetary, this city, on
Tuesday last, have just been made pub
lic. The mutilated body of the mur
dered man was found only yesterday,
and this brings to light a conspiracy
that has been going on for two weeks
or more.
Crowley was manager of the Roswell
wollen mill, and though only 27 years of
age, was a man of considerable business
experience, and handled large interests.
Story of the Bloody Crime.
Circumstantial evidences points strong
ly to Will Myers as one of his murder
ers. The motive was robbery. Crow
ley had S7OO on his person at the time
of his murder. Myers had induced him
to come to the city from Roswell, a vil
lage twenty-four miles above here on
the Richmond and Danville. Myers
stated that he wanted to buy some
mules from Crowley and the latter sent
them to the city. Under pretense of
consulting a business partner Myers in
duced Crowley to take a drive in the
country. They left the city in a buggy
at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning. At 10:15
o'clock Myers came back alone. Craw
ley's father, who is president of the
Roswell manufacturing company, met
Myers and inquired for his son. My
ers made conflicting statements. Mr.
Crowley shadowed • Myers and at 2
o’clock sqw him take a cab and drive to
the union depot. That is the last heard
of Myers. All that afternoon and night
police, detectives and friends searched
for Crowley. They feared that he had
been killed. Yesterday morning his
father and Detective Cason found the
body two miles beyond the city limits.
The Assassins Bet the Money.
Young Crowley's purse was missing.
In one pocket was $1 HO which had been
overlooked. The surroundings indi
cated that two men did the murder.
Crowley had been shot in the head and
then his skull was crushed. His mur
derers had walked on their heels for 100
yards in leaving the spot.
Myers has not been found. It is
thought that he is making for Cincin
nati where his father was at one time a
Pinkerton detective. Myers is only 19
years old. lie is a member of the Gate
City Guard, the swell military company
here. lie graduated at a military
school here but has never worked. He
is a right handsome fellow, muscular,
has a pleasant address and was always
neatly dressed.
Charles Jones, a nephew of Rev. Sam
P. Jones, the evangelist, was arrested
this afternoon on suspicion. He is a
chum of Myers. Jones declares that he
.knows nothing of the murder.
