The Democratic state committee
wisely adopted the date of June 2sth for
the convention. A later time would
have been acceptable to the majority of
the committee and of the party in the
state, but it was feared that at any time
in July or August the weather would be
too hot for comfort, and later than
August would leave too little time for
organization of the party. Harrisburg
was selected, not because it is the state
capital nor because of any particular
local sympathy, but because it is the one
point in the state at which railroad lines
from every section of it converge. The
committee fixed, as one of the objects of
the convention, the adoption of rules for
the government of the party in the state,
the necessity for which has become all
the more apparent, since those proposed
at the last convention were defeated by
the dilatory motions of fragmentary
and perverse minority Of that body. In
the next convention this matter will be
put ut the beginning of the proceed
ings, and not at the end of them.

SAVED By HIS MoTHER-IN-LAw.

Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines Testimony Clears
the Man who Murdered Her Own Son.
Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines, the famous
Louisiana litigant, appeared in the crimi-
nal court, at Washington, D. c., yester.
day morning in behalf of her son.in-law,
James Y. Christmas, who was on trial for
killing William G. Whitney, son of Mrs.
Gaines by former husband. The killing
took place the 25th of last juno; and was
the result of an old feud between the two
men, who had been set up in business by
Mrs. Gaines. The son became jealous of
the son. .in.law, and after dissolving part
nership made repeated threats against the
latter. Finally one Saturday afternoon as
Christmas, who boarded in the same house
with Whitney, was on his way down stairs
to dinner with an aged couple, he was:ap-
preached from behind by Whitney and as
saulted. Christmas thereupon drew a re-
volver and fired at his assailant, inflicting
mortal wound, as he only lived a few
minutes.
The case was called for trial yesterday.
Mrs. Gaines, in her testimony, showed
that Christmas acted solely in self. defense
and as her evidence was strongly corrob-
Grated by other witnesses, Col. Corkhill,
who appeared for the government, de-
cided to abandon the case and under the
instructions Of the court the jury returned
a verdict of acquittal. Mr.. Christmas
counsel comprised Messrs. William A.
Cook, T. G. Cone and congressman
Jesse J. Yeates, of North Carolina. After
the trial was concluded, the accused was
warmly congratulated by host of friends
and left the court room in company with
his mOther-in-law.

Mr., G.. s.. Erlsman, architect and

erection of the building. The work has
been finished in every department, reflect

upon the mechanics and artisans who so
ably assisted him.

Burger. The elegant movable desks and
tables. of solid walnut and unique design,
were manufactured by Slough & Son, who
also supplied the furniture for the directors
room. Ths tile floor was furnished by
r. Ostenwald 4 Son, New York. The
painting was done by George w. Brown,
the tin roof was pat on by George Ackcr.

Will LILO requirements VI GA0 law. IL IL
we'll known that at no ward in this city
were these requirements complied with,
and at few districts in the county, and in
most cases the commissioners failed to
furnish the necessary blanks. The
Republican politicians who are con.
testing Doerr's seat knew this,
and Gin the interest of honest
elections" of course, postponed the filing
of their petition until the very last day, so
that the Democrats would not take notice
to bring similar contests and throw out
nearly every Republican councilman elect
in town. The practical effect of the
matter will, he that the Demo-
cratic councilmen who have their
certificates, will take and keep thei.
seats until afteR the conclusion of what
will be inevitably long contest, and the
result of which will likely be announced
after their terms have expired. When it
does finally come. likely as not it villas
usual-increase tho Democratic majority :;
for Mr.. Hiestand's petition says there
were thirty or more illegal votes cast for
Brown, while Mr.. Hiestand's paper says
"over one hundred men were voted whose
names were not on the registry, without
qualifying them as prescribed by the act
of assembly," As these calculations
leave about 20 illegal votes for Doerr,
Browns majority will be apt to run up to
about 45 under the operation of the
Hiestand- -Eberman-Tripple investigation.
God speed the cause Of honest elections

alton with the county clerk, ard
also, a law to exempt all county
property from execution OF any
Judgment against the county. Mr..
Pettigrew say that .fese tvs laws
are, however, general laws, and ap
ply 10 tlle wh6le territory, and no
question was raised at The time ii
taeir passage as 70 the deb. Of iahk-
ton county, and they were never
passed with the view Of affecting in
any way the collection Of this debt.
The only property that iankton
county has which could under any
circumstances be subject to execu-
ton, if this law did not exist, is
court house, a Jail and the county
records, altogether not worth to ex-
coed $4,000. Mr.. Pettigrew insisted
that If the railroad company had
complied with the conditions OF its
written agreement these bonds
would never have been disputed
and the interest defaultcd. The
people Of Yankton county are an
xious to settle their bonded indebt-
edness and willing to pay it, princi-
pie and interest, but the assessed
valuation Of the whole county to-
| day is only s1,500,O00. To pay the
| overdue interest alone therefore,
| would require the levy of tax of
ten per cent, and the people Of the
county say it would be impossible
to collect SO large sum at once.
They simply desire settlement
with the bondholders on a reasona-
bic basis. They would willingly Is
sue new bonds, drawing reasona-
BILE rate Of interest OH the debt, and
in this way would pay the entire
| Indebtedness. They allege that the
bonds were sold for 65 cents on the
dollar and drew 8 per cent. interest
and that the bondholders without
loss, can take sum less than tho
} total of the bonds and interest, and
! make settlement which would b.
just and equitable to all parties
Leading citizens of the county sa,
that they would be willing to pa,
81 cents ON the dollar and settle tn
: Indebtedness at any time.
, After listening to Mr.. Pettigrew
argument, the committee adopted
: resolution by unanimous vote, de
! claring that the Indebtedness of tn
county of Yankton had nothing t
: do with the admission of Dakots
and would not enter at all into it
t consideration.

Tackling the Wrong Freshman.
Lewiston journal


A little while since four bold, bad
sophomores, in a certain college in
Maine, went into the room Of q
freshmen, whom they judged to be
verdant. After the sophomores had
got into the room, the freshman asked
what they wished. "Oh, we've come
to put you through" was the reply.
The freshman told them they had
better not attempt anything, but
they scornfully refused to listen to
advice from a member Of lower
class, and made rush for the youth
whom they took to be green.
With a blow he laid one of
the bold sophs upon his back.
In the melee that followed,
the light was overturned and extin.
guished, when the freshman grasped
a chair and the sophomores were
obliged to beat a hasty and disas-
trous retreat. The next morning
the freshman was called before the
president of the college, who inquir,
ed the cause of the disturbance in
his room the preceding evening.
The freshman narrated the circum>
stances of the case very minutely, and
the president listened with tine
greatest attention. When the fresh
man had finished, the president said;
s.And you cleaned them outl Yes, |"
was the answer. II congratulate
you upon your success, said the
president, as be took the boys hand
and gave it q hearty shake.
