MADE A FULL CONFESSION
of the whole affair, along with a his.
tory of the rObberies in which her hus.
band had been engaged. She said
they resided last summer in Kansas
City, but had removed to St. Joseph,
where Jesse hoped to reside in peace
and earn an honest living. They
brought with them the two Ford boys,
who had since been living in their
house. These boys are mere youths,
apparently between fifteen and twenty
years of age. Yesterday morning
after breakfast Robert Ford and Jes-
sic went into the sitting room to do
some work about moving a stove, and
Charles was assisting her in the kitchen
washing dishes. After little Charles
also went into the room where the
two men were; soon after she heard q
shot and rushing in she found her
husband lying on the floor shot to
death, while on a chair lay his pistol,
belt and cartridges which he had re.
moved while at work with the stove.
The boys both ran from the house,
one jumping over the rear fence the
other running around by the front
way. They both returned again and
then started to the city to deliver
themselves up and
CLAIM THE REWARD OFFERED,

gave themselves into custody.

A special dispatch to the Denver Re-
publican, from Leadville, has this to say
in regard to the killing of Officer Town
send by Thos. c. Early, former Sedalian
"The result of the inquest in the Town
send murder to-day was the recommends
ton of the jury that Early be held for the
action of the grand jury without bail. The
evidence justifies the conclusion that the
shooting was deliberate and unprevOked
The excitement continues undated and
the feeling against Early is very bitter.

Trnmp1ne in Uhe Mountains.

A special despatch from the Mount
Airy, N. c., says: Six gay and frolic'
some young ladies arrived iE this place
to-day, well equipped for journey on
foot through the mountains of this
State. The girls wear dresses even
shorter than the regulation walking
skirt, having knapsacks strapped over
their shoulders, wear broad bottomed
easy shoes and dark hoes, and are fixed
up for comfort. They propose to make
a pedestrian trip through all the noun.
tain countries of North Carolina. In
their baggage they have hammockS
which will be used in case they have 9
to camp out at night. The trip will
take about two months, and will cover
district of 800 or 800 miles. The
girls are all young, the Oldest being
probably not over % and the youngest
| l6. They are 1.-THE and hearty, and
appear to be able to make fifteen or
twenty miles a day easily. Three OF
the fair pedestrians are from Virginia
and the other three are from Maryland.
Four of them are pupils Of we'll
known seminary in Virginia and the
daughters OF prominent business men
in that State. Their present novel and
independent trip is made principal y
to crafty one or two of the party who
could not afford to travel on railroads
when a desire was expressed by them
In the presence of the other four girls
who make up the party to see the
magnificent scenery of the western
part of the State. 1t was at once pro,
posed to "tramp it" through the coun.
try, and thus avoid railroad fares and
at the same time afford h better
view of the picturesque scenery.
The party will leave here tomorrow
for Asheville, in Buncombe. They
do not manifest any fear Of being
molested on the long and lonesom Q
route. They say they are able fully
to take care of themselves. Part of the
way is through dense forests, which
many daring men are not anxious
to travel through, especially al
night.

D...o.v.,Io aolr Abnegation.


On Saturday next the Democrats will
20 through the motion of holding q
Democratic election of delegates accord
ing to Democratic rules. What are
those rules? Amongst them is one per-
mitting them to elect one delegate from
each Ward iu the city, distinctly recog-
nizing the inequality CT representation.
In the County of New Castle the Demo-
Gratis are allowed fifty-five delegates,
forty. four from the country and elev-
en- from the city. The population of
the County is now as nearly $4,000 as
can he computed, $4,000 of which is in
the city Of wilmingtOn,and S2,OOOin the
country. In the city there is one dele
gate for every 1853 of the population or
for every 1873 voters. In the country
there is one delegate for every 727 of
the population, or for every las voters
This is representation with vengeance
and yet strange to say the Democrats
feel satisfied with it. That ono man in
the country is reckoned.by the Demo.
cratic standard and by Democratic
rules to be as good as six men in the
city, seems to cause them no concern.
Such patriots certainly never had an
equal. The equal of such self imposed
disfranchisemen and sacrifice for the
good of the Democratic party, we will
venture to say is not known within the
bounds of the United States. Such
humble submission certainly challenges
our admiration. Go in Democrats and
elect your delegates on Saturday, like
good, little, submissive men. No mat
ter if there is only one to elect from the
great Eighth, Tenth, Seventh, Fifth,
Sixth and Third Wards, and one each
from the Ninth and the Eleventh. This
is Democracy. Democratic freemen OF
Wilmington, it will never do to muir
mur. Your self abnegation is required
for the good of the party. You must
raise no disturbance, you must have no
contention, for is it not by unequal rep
resen tation that the illustrious Senator
Bayard is kept in his seat in the Senate
to make you pay two cents to the gov
for every fhree cent box of
you buy? Our advice to the
Democrats would be to pick out eleven
good men on Saturday. You will have
at your back a representative force Of
$4,000 of a constituency, while the re-
154 delegates from the State
will have 100000 constituents. Walk
up to the polls Democrats on Saturday,
and be thankful that you are permitted
even to elect one delegate from each
ward.

AFTFR all there is something pathet-
ic in the announcement that Senator
Salisbury went through Wilmington,
on Tuesday evening, on his way home
to Dover, where defeat stares him in
the face in his candidacy for reelection.
Ten years ago the Senator was elected
over his brother Cove when the Demo.
cratic majority in the State ran away
up to thousands, but since that time il
has dwindled down to few insignifi'
cant hundreds which are sure to follow
the thousands at the next election. But
Eli having accepted the Office in the
prosperity of the party, must not re-
fuse to be a candidate now, and be the
martyr of the party. We pity Senator
Eli, for aside from his Bourbonism and
blind devotion to anything labeled
Democracy, he is kind hearted gen
tleman and shuts his eyes aghtly when
he does political jobs demanded of him
by his party. AS rae Senator had a
good round cry VIXEN he was elected, he
will have anotbar when hs is defeated
and then it wll be all over. We sym
pathize with him, but the decree Of
Fate canrJt be turned aside.

Chicago Wheat Deals.

CHICAGO, August 8.
Great excitement was caused on
Change to-day among those interested
in provisions by the statement that
Armour had recovered from his loss OF
81, 900, 900 on his July wheat deal and
WAS manipulating two large pork deals
in connection with Fowler Bros, the
Chicago Packing Company, Higgins
g. Co. and Murphy & Co. This com
binatiop is long, at least 500, 900 barrels
of pork, which were purchased for the
August delivery at about $3.50, when
there was only 200, 900 barrels in sight.
This option has advanced 80 and the
clique is still pushing it. Armour yes
terday shipped fve cars of pork to
Kansas City in order to create the i'm I.
preston that there was no pork there
and the market advanced half dollar
as the result. The plan is to force
August pork up and squeeze shorts.
The same clique is manipulating deal
on long futures. Year pork Is being
heavily bought ut about $40 with the
purpose OF forcing November and De.
cember up to at least $A per barrel.
The combination represents "a, 800, 900
of capital and 1t Is said 1t will push the
two deals for all they are worth.

IT IS strange there should be such a
backwardness on the part of the people
to subscribe enough money to construct
a portable stand for the First Regiment
band to give free open air concerts.
Nearly everybody likes the music of a
band and would have no objection to
listening an hour or two OF a fine
moonlight night to such music. But il
cannot be expected that the band can
give these free concerts without in
curing scme expense though the mu
sic be furnished free, and 1t is for tht

eyis needed. We hope our citizens will

THE DEMOCRATIC organs may try
in vain to create diversion in the Re
publican party on account of the chair
man of the State Central Committee.
They may rest assured that the chair
man elected whoever he may be Is the
man for the place and will strike terror
to the heart OF the Democratic party.
If Richard Harrington, Esq, is the
chosen chairman there will be no op-
position to him. Mr.. Stone resigned
his membership in the State Central
Committee simply because he was
elected chairman Of the County Com
mittee and he had not the time to at
tend to no many political duties, and
as an evidence of his sincerity in re
signing, he did not send in his resigna
tion until after he was elected chair
man of the County Committee. THAI
is all there is in that, and the Demo
Gratis may rest assured that there
will be no clashing of interests be
tween the County and the State Cen
tral Committee. The Republicans have
no war to wage against any member o.
| their party, no matter whether he occu
pies high or humble rank. Theil
guns for once have been unmuZzled
