A BLOODY STORY.
An Insane Man Shoots His Wife, Two
Children and Commits Suicide.

JOLIET, ILL.,, July l3.
Andrew White escaped from the Insane
Asylum and reached home early Thursday
morning, a. a village thirty miles from here.
His wife, son and daughter, thinking he had
been discharged as sane. admitted him to the
house with every demonstration of affection
and joy.
On entering the parlor he deliberately
drew a revolver and looking his wife in the
face said: "You want my money and my
fortune. Damn you, take that" and sent a
bullet crashing through her brain, and she
fell to the floor dead. Then he buried bull
lets in the brains of his boy and girl. When
he had done this he laid down his revolver
and gazed upon the fearful deed he had per-
peterted. For moment the horror of the
act seemed to restore his reason, and with a
desperate cry he fell upon the corpse of his
wife, kissing it and weeping over it. His
Authorization returning, however, he dragged
the bodies of the dead into the dining room,
and laid them out on the table, his wife first,
the boy next and the girl last. The murder
er then procuring the revolver, and seating
himself on the table near his wife. placed the
revolver to his head and pulling the trigger
in a moment lay dead beside her.
The four corpses on the table were the
CHASTITY sight that greeted the eyes of the
hired man, James Mcpherson, who had been
drawn from the field in which he was plough
the authorities who will make a thorough
investigation OF the affairs. White was for
merly wealthy Chicago merchant.

THE ONTARIO FLOOD.
RObberIes OF Houses aud Persons by
ROughs-Twensy Lives Il Sacrifice.
LONDON. Ont ,July

LONDON, Ont, July ID.
TTee-river is now nowhere over its banks,
although great deal of water is still on some
lower parts. terrible picture of DISSOLUTION
is now presented. Ruins of bridges, wharfs
and bar MS are coming into view. Small boats
are plying as ferries and carrying pleasure
parties to view points of interest on the river.
The authorities complain loudly of the ac-
ton of rowdies, who have robbed persons
and houses. Energetic measures for the re-
lief of sufferers are instituted, and more
than $50 persons are relieved. At a meet
ing last night further measures in this direc-
tion were taken, and a committee appointed
for each ward of the city to canvass tor sub
scriptions.
The government will be asked for a grant
in aid of the sufferers. Water and gas, which
have been cut off since Wednesday morning
were applied last night. Railway commune
cation by the way of St. Thomas was re-
opened yesterday, and a great number of
passengers who were unable to reach the
city by other routes have arrived. The sud
denness of the storm which caused the disas-
ter seems more remarkable as the facts be-
come known. The barometer was stationary
at o'clock. A short time previous the ap-
pearance of a heavy storm extended from
the northwest to the southeast. At light
ming commenced all around the horizon, and
almost Immediately rain began to fall in tor
rents, continuing the whole night witeout in
PERMISSION. The area of the storm did not
exceed twenty miles. The latest returns
place the number of lives lost at 20.

Ohio.

Unless leading Ohio republicans are
greatly deceived, that State will elect the
republican ticket next fall. Senator Sher-
man has expressed his belief that victory
will crown the efforts Of the republicans.
and representative Mckinley of that State
said in Washington on the 18th :--"Our
prospects are bright. and I believe the
republicans will not only elect Foraker.
but have majority in the Legislature.
Judge Hoadly is very brillian, man. and
will make brilliant canvass. but he does
not possess the genius to know what to
say and what not to say. The conse.
quence is that he has not written line
nor spoken sentence on politics since he
was nominated that has not been blum
der. The democrats are going to be
terribly disappointed. They will not get
any large proportion Of the German vote.
believe nearly all the better class of
men WIN have liberal views on the
liquor question will go with us. The
Scott law is becoming more popular every
day. In my own county, for example, we
shall derive revenue of about S43, 900
from it This will wipe out the tax for
the poor fund entirely and leave us sur
plus half large enough to pay the police
expenses Of the county. While this law
is going to prove satisfactory on the whole
to the liquor men, it is going to bring to
the support of the republican ticket also
very large proportion OF the prohibition
vote. The prohibitionists are anxious to get
all the votes they can for the prohibitory
amendment to the constitution and they
have sense enough to see that the way TO
do that Is not to fight the party which en-
acted the Scott law. think. toe, that we
are going to gain many votes on the tariff
issue-especially among the Germans.
Other influences are at work silently in
behalf of the republicans which will proba-
bly, manifest themselves before our cam
paign fairly opens four weeks hence"

Conventions.

ST. Louis. Mo-, July IL.
In the colored press convention yesterday.
the committee on resolutions submitted a
series of resolves declaring in substance in
favor Of of c9-education of the races and
mixing of schools and teachers; urging in
dustrial pursuits among negroes pledging
every means in power to open up machine
shop facilities and industrial schools and in
strrction therein of negro youths as appren-
tices and students and advising negroes to
prompt and purchase public lands; favoring
Improvement of the navigation of the Mis-
sippi river. and protection Of its banks from

interest of the negro race, and repugnant to
the idea of political manhood to be made
tool Of any existing political party or to be
tied to any political kif, and pledglng the
colored press association to henceforward
influence under all circumstances the colored

Pennsylvania.

The work of the Pennsylvania republic
can State convention meets with hearty
appreciation. It is regarded as guaran-
tee that the republicans will carry the
State this tall, and 60 into the campaign
next year united and indomitable. The
Tribune says the action of the convention
assures republican victory in Pennsyl-
vania this fall" The Philadelphia Press
says: at has nominated a strong ticket
after free contest on progressive plat
form, and has shown that q republican
convention finds its best leadership in the
general sense and spirit of the repub-
lican masses. The ticket is as
judicious and strong as any that could be
named. There are reasons for believing
Il the most fortunate combination that
could be made.
In the selection Of VIM. A. Livsey for
Treasurer. the party not only proclaims
civil service promotion in the platform.
but illustrates it in practice. He is the
present cashier of the Treasury and held
the same place under Butler and is ad-
mirably fitted for the position of chief. He
is fresh. clean, irreproachable. free from
political complications and every way cal
culated to inspire confidence and give
strength.
Jerome b. Niles is the republican lead
er in the House. an able, upright, STAIN
less man, who thinks and acts tor himself
and whose undertaking republicanism has
been frightened by independent judg-
ment. He is jus. the candidate to secure
the cordial union Of all elements of the
party and no better selection could have
been made.
tits no hackneyed platform upon which
these well-chosen candidates are placed.
1t drops the dead past and deals in clear,
positive tones with the living present and
future. IL summons the State and the
country to the forum of discussion and &C
ton on new and immediate questions.
The plank on protection is compact and
comprehensive statement of the broad
policy. The proposition Tor the distribu-
ton Of the surplus revenue among the
States is sanctioned and throws into the
arena Of public contention a new and
great question. Civil service reform of a
practical character, is sustained in direct
and emphatic terms. Relief from the
evils connected with the trade dollar. op.
position to assisted emigrants. a pledge OF
municipal reform and economical govern
ment and endorsement of the position Of
the republicans in the Legislature are
strongly placed.
Not least among the good things OF the
convention was its declaration for the
policy of uniform primaries. This
is the inauguration Of movement which
will vitalize and preserve popular rule
Altogether. the convention did a goot
days work. which will cement the new
harmony and unity of the party. and 1
campaign fought with the same .iudgmen
and spirit will be crowned with victory
