DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
DEs MONIES, Iowa, June 14-The democratic
state convention met in this city, this morning.
The attendance was the largest the party ever
had in the state, fifty of one hundred and four
counties being represented. Upon the announce
ment Of the committees, the old democracy
made fight against the "packed programme

were heaten--3 to /. A long debate followed on

WASHINGTON, d. c., June IA.


THE INVESTIGATION.
Gov. Lindsay of Alabama was not examined
by the kukluX committee to-day but probably
will be on Friday. He utterly denounces the
testimony of Rev. A. S. LaAin given yesterday
whom he characteriZeS as ''Stirer up of strife"
He says one proof of the falsity of Lakin's
statement is that he is still living in the very
section he spoke of as being lawless. The gov
ernor also lives there, and represents that Ala
bama is thoroughly peaceful.
The kukluX committee to-day examined the
United States district attorney of South Carolina
and the eX-auditor of that state, who gave
gloomy accounts of affairs in South Carolina
Judge Busted of Alabama has been summoned
before the committee, and numerous summons
have been sent to witnesses designated by the
democratic members of the committee.
RESTORED.
Commissioner Baker of the pensions bureau
has restored DR.. Stillman Spooner of Oneida, N.
Y, to the office OF medical examiner, from which
he was removed by the late commissioner, Mr..
Van Aernam, because he was homeopathlst.
APPOINTED.
Rev. George D. Chenoweth, Carlisle, Pa, has
been appointed to the clerkship in the post
office department lately held by +. A. Macart-
ney and Rev. Samuel A. Wilson, this city, is
appointed special agent of the post office de-
partment.
THE COTTON CROP
1t is estimated that the yield of cotton this
year will not be over 900 QUO bales, as the num-
Der of acres under cultivation is nearly one mil
lion less than last year. No returns from Texas
have yet been received. In North Carolina and
Georgia the falling off is about fifteen per cent;
Mississippi, twelve per cent? and Louisiana,
ten per cent. The weather has been unfavorable,
and the crops are rather poor.
FINANCIAL.
The department of state is now ready to pay
the seven per cent awards under the conven-
tons with Venezuela.
Subscriptions to the new loan, to-day, $4,000.

THE RuTH-MEDLICOTT MYSTERY.
LEAyENwoRTH, Kansas, June 14.--The Ruth
mystery at Law renee grows deeper. Ruth told
a friend a few days before his death, that his
wife had fallen heir to Il large estate in Europe
and that he regretted exceedingly his want of
education and accomplishments necessary to
support the dignity of a husband to titled
lady. This is urged as another argument in
support of the theory of suicide, which has
gained considerable ground, Notwithstanding
that strong letter was left by him duplicating
DR.. Medlicott, who still stands committed on the
charge of murder.
TO BE HUNG.
ALBANY, June 14.-Governor Hoffman de-
clines to interfere in the case of Mike Ferguson,
sentenced to be hung at Ithaca, next Friday,
for the murder of his uncle and aunt.
SHOOTING AFFAIR.
WASHINGTON, June 14.--Captain L. NJ.
Davenport, clerk in the treasury department,
this afternoon entered the office of Justice Wall,
colored man, and fired two shots from re-
volyer at him, one of the balls seriously wound
ing him in the abdomen. Wall had called on
Davenport, at the department, at the request of
woman who represented that Captain Daven-
port sold her a worthless stove, the object being
to restore the article and recover the money.
Davenport was arrested.

after which the choir of the Church of the
Unity sang Stearns' beautiful quartettc
''Nearer, my God, to Thee" Appro-
pirate selections from Scripture were then
read by Rev. Mr.. Shipper, followed
by brief address, in which allusion was made
to the quiet, unobtrusve character of the de-
ceased, who desired least of all any parade or
display at his funeral. Mr.. S. said the deceased
had filled his position, at home Or in office,
without ostentation, and preferred that his
record should be read through his life, rather
than by the eulogistic words of Others. And yet
we could not let this occasion pass without an
expression of our sadness at the departure of
such man, whose life had been a comfort and
blessing to ALL and a word of tribute to the
character of one who had lived faithful and true
through his long career in his influence for good
and for the progress of the right.

Boston, June IA. The board of aldermen
at a special meeting, to-day, yoted-S to A.
against permitting Col. Fisk's regiment to hold
religious services on Boston common next Sum
day The principal objection was that the
parade would attract the worst part Of the pop
ulation of the city and suburbs, causing desecra-
ton of the day and calling for strong police
force to preserve order; on the other hand, the
doors of every church in the city would be glad
ly opened to the regiment. The mayor of
