“NOT GUILTY”
Was tlie Verdict of tlie Worshipful Juror
iu tlie Gog^fins Case.
Marietta, Ga., July 25.—The charge
of Judge Gober in the Goggins case was
clear and able, and covered the case
fully. Its delivery consumed about 20
minutes. The jury was then sent to
their room, where the first thing they
did before entering upon the considera¬
tion of the case was to kneel in prayer,
being led by Rev. T. M. Hooper, a
Campbellite preacher. They then re¬
viewed the evidence, and about 8 o’clock
they sang a religious song to the tune
of Ortonville, and the soul-stirring
waves floated out into the shades of
night around them. After a little in¬
termission, "Jesus, Lover of My Soul, ”
from clear, well trained voices caused
those who were walkin g on the streets
around their room to stop and listen.
Then esme supp r, after which a bailiff
announced to Judge Gober that a ver¬
dict had been reached. The jury filed
in, and the defendant was made happy
by the hearing verdict the the wowls had "note,guilty” made. Thus as
jury defend¬
ended a memorable trial.. The
ant can now, so far as the case is con¬
cerned, breathe the air of liberty.
AN UNCONDITIONAL PARDON
Granted to an Indian Boy Who was
Sent to the Ben.
Topeka, Kan., July 25.—Governor
Humphrey signed the unconditional par¬
don of Solomon Quapan, an Indian boy
sentenced to the penitentiary May 5, for
one year for grand larceny. The story
told by the board of pardons, after hear¬
ing all the evidence, is a queer one.
Quapan, w T ho is an inoffensive Indian,
whose home is in the Indian Territory,
rode from his home into Baxter Springs
and hitched his horse to a post. After
filling up on whisky he mounted, as he
supposed, his horse, and started for
home. After going several miles he
discovered he was not on his horse, and
took it back to town and turned it over
to its owner. At the preliminary At the ex¬
amination he was bound over.
trial in the district court, on the advice
of an attorney wlxo had not investigated
the case; he pleaded guilty, at the same
time protesting that he did not steal the
horse. It seems he w r as allowed to do
this, some county officers agreeing to
get the sentence reversed if he would
pay $100 and the costs. Their action
was too late, and he was sent to the
penitentiary.
CALHOUN DIVINE,
Wbo Slayed a Negro in Memphis, Does
Not Recollect It.
Memphis, July 25.—Dr. Divine, father
of Calhoun Divine, the young man
who killed Jake Waller, the colored
haclnnan, on Monday night last, lias
arrived in the city from Atlanta, and is
stopping at the Gayoso hotel. Dr. Di¬
vine is a man of fine physical appear¬
ance and GO years of age. He seemed
much worried on account of his son’s
conduct. He stated that he had no idea
of his son’s whereabouts until he heard
from him in Memphis. He states that
his son has been wild for some years,
but of a pleasant disposition, when at
himself, and not under the influence of
liquor. several The doctor will be in the city : r
for days, or Jong enough to as -
cerlain all the particulars of the tragedy,
and make arrangements to employ
counsel when tlie trial comes up. Cal¬
houn Divine still insists that he remem¬
bers nothing of the killing.
CURIOUS BUGS IN INDIANA
That Darkens the Elements and Have
Caused Much Wonder.
Craweordsville, July 25. —The
northern part of Montgomery county
and nearly all of Clinton county are be¬
ing visited with strange insects. They
come in clouds so thick as to darken the
houses as they pass, and a person get¬
ting among them cannot avoid taking
them into his lnngs. They are describ¬
ed as being about the size of a flea or a
gnat, and as having the characteristics
of both. Their method of locomotion is
a took cross the betw'een a hop and a fly, and it
swarm three days to pass a
given point. They are traveling in an
easterly direction. The insects harmed
none of the growing crops, and their
strange appearance has caused much
wonder. A local scientist has asserted
that the insect’s name is " tripidm fol
len. ”
a Murderer Creates a Sensation.
Columbus, O., July 24.—W.K. Elliott,

TUI m FIGHT
Campbell, at Pittsburg, Talks
About tlie Contest.
Cleveland and Hill to Make
Speeches.
Governor Campbell at the Fete of tlie
Rainfall Club—The Political Outlook,
According to His Views, in Ohio—Dis¬
satisfaction Dying Out in Hamilton
County—-The Winners.
Pittsburg, July 24. —Governor Camp¬
bell of Ohio, attended the annual fete
champetre of the Randall club, at Sil¬
ver Lake, in this city. Fully 10,000 peo¬
ple attended the fete, which was a suc¬
cess in every respect. In speaking of
the political outlook in Ohio, Governor
Campbell said:
" The Democrats of Ohio are thor¬
oughly aroused, and we are going to win
the fight beyond all question. Iu Ham¬
ilton county disaffection is fast dying
out. It is principally among the Ger¬
man element. They are slow to act, of
course, as it is characteristic of their
race, hut they are gradually coming
back into line. They were all Demo¬
crats. By the time the election comes
off, it will be impossible to tell where
the kick was. The Democratic party
has been growing stronger and rapidly
in Ohio, and we are stronger in the
country; in fact, all over the state, out¬
side of Hamilton county, than we ever
were.
"Yes, I expect that ex-President
Cleveland will lend a helping hand in
Onio this time. The published report,
that I said he would not speak for the
Democratic ticket, is false. W hat I did
say was that he had not yet been in¬
vited, but that he would be as soon
as the state central c: nmittee met. A
meeting is being held in Columbus and
Mr. Cleveland will be invited to make
six speeches, which he will, I think,
comply with. Governor Hill will also
take a hand iu our campaign as well,
also Congressman Jerry Simpson of
Kansas, and Senator Peffer, who was
elected to succeed Ingalls. The two
former gentlemen will lie invited by the
Democratic party, while the two latter
will be brought into the state by the
Farmers’ Alliance. The latter party is
very strong with us now, and they are
hand-in-hand with the Democrats.
They will nominate no ticket this year.
" Farmers throughout the country gen¬
erally favor free coinage. They vastly
prefer it to the McKinley tariff measure.
This hill has disgusted and many workingmen of the best in
Republican farmers
our state. Ween a poor man sees that
his cost of living added is increased daily without sti¬
anything more to his
pend, can you blame him for kicking?
There is just one class of people in Ohio
who are in love with the new tariff law,
the ones w r ho are protected. To make a
long story short, it is a fight to the finish
on party principles, and we feel confi¬
dent we will come out winners. ”
FIRED INTO THE CROWD.
George Futch Kills a Boy and Wounds
His Father.
Jacksonville, Fla., July 24.—A spe¬
cial from Starke, Fla., to The Tiraes
Union says that Willie Dowling was
shot and killed and his father, Joseph
Dowling, perhaps fatally wounded by
George Futch, at 1 o’clock in the morn¬
ing, about fifteen miles west of there.
The trouble occurred at the house of
Ancrmn Adkins during the progress of
a country dance. An old feud had ex¬
isted for many years between the Dow
ling and Futch families. Young Futch
and young Dowling quarreled just be¬
fore the dance broke up, and they
fo ght, old man Dowling finally taking
a hand. Futch got enough and asked
to he let up. Then Dowling let him go.
Futch then stepped back, pulled out Ms
pistol and began firing. The first shot
struck Willie Dowling over the region
of the heart, killing him instantly.
Futch then fired three shots at Joseph
Dowling, the father, the first entering
the upper part of the right thigh, the
uext entering the ^ right lower portion of
the abdomen and the last entering the
right groin. Futch then ran through
the front & gate and turned and fired an¬
other shot into the crowd, dangerously
wounding an orphan in boy named Vafhes.

The Governor Interviews the Committee.
Affairs Unsettled.
Knoxville, July 24.—No blood has
yet been shed in Tennessee, however the
war is not yet over. The governor con¬
sented, after some hesitation, to listen
to wliat the miners’ committee had to
say, but it seems that the situation is
about the same so far as Governor
Buchanan is concerned. The miners
have resorted to every conceivable
method to compromise the affair and it
is thought that they do not want to go
to battle as badly as at first;
They still assert, although, that the
convicts shall not work at Coal Creek

less Governor Buchanan agrees to rent
edy the matter hastily, they will not de¬
sist from their move, and should the
convicts and militia come back they
would blow them sky high.

amount of the alleged shortage was,
but intimated that it was a bone $20,000.
Kehr left here about a year since, but
it was not supposed his accounts were
unbalanced until recently, when the
firm made an examination of the books.
Kehr’s second wife, who before his mar¬
riage, lived in Kansas City, sold a short,
time since, a house here belonging to
her husband and said she was going to
join him in Georgia.

a negro, was brought to the city from
Smith’s station horribly cut about the
face pud neck, there being six ugly
slashes and stabs. He was carried at

len and Burns attacked him with knives

Detroit, July 25. —The Tribune pub¬
lishes the following: " Captain William
A. Gavitt, of this city, received an im¬
port tint letter from J. H. Manley, of
Augusta, Me., in response to a letter
written by him on the 18th instant. The
subjects of inquiry on the part of Mr.
Gavitt were the health of Secretary
Blaine and his attitude respecting the
earnest desire of a multitude of his ad¬
mirers in the Republican party that he
become its standard bearer in 1802. The
replies are especially significant when it
is remembered that Mr. Manley has for
years been a warm personal friend and
political confidant and adviser of the
distinguished secretary of state. In ef¬
fect Mr. Manley asserts that Mr.
Blaine’s health is almost fully regained,
and that tie will return to Washington
in the fall with all his vigor and
strength, both of mind and body.
He further states that Mr. Blaine can¬
not become a candidate for the Repub¬
lican nomination, but that, in Liis opin¬
ion, if the Republican party wants him
for its standard bearer in 1802. all it has
to do is to nominate him, and he will
accept.

Sehi Uins£.
Cincinnati, July So.—Robert Schil¬
ling has made public the address of the
national executive committee of the

phrases as the following :
" The declaration of independence from
the arrogance of British politicians must
be supplemented by a declaration of in¬ of
dependence from the frightful power
concentrated wealth.
" Yv e consider violence in settling dis¬
and putes for as this unworthy of a civilized organized nation,
reason we have
the party of the people to overthrow ty¬
rants who have robbed and are continu¬
ing to r b us of that to which they have
no moral right. ”
The document then goes on with spe¬
cifications of evils • in matters of land,
labor and money, and in conclusion sug¬
gests a remedy.

the name of the liberty for which the
fathers of the republic pledged their
lives for the aid of every honest man iu
this struggle by joining the party of
the people.
