The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1883-07-23

Judge Hoadley remarks with lLuch
pertinency and truth that the republicans
can no longer capture the country by
pointing to the records of the party and
its leaders twenty years ago. 1t is almost
a quarter of century since the republi-
cans came into power, and the country is
much less concerned about how it began
and how it is ending its career As for
its leaders and their acts, Judge Hoadley
is personal illustration of the vital fact
that very large proportion of the men
who made fame and glory for the party
in its youth are to-day among the most
influential and trusted leaders of the
democracy. His candidacy is a continu-
ing and ever present reminder to the
people of Ohio that the repubicanism
and democracy of to-day cannot be
divided by the dead issues Of the past.
New and living questions demand atten-
ton, and the party which fears to stand
forward and meet the issues of the day
must give place to the party of courage
and progress. Hoadley's candidacy has
brought out in sharp relief the vital fact
that republicanism to-day means nothing
but obstruction II is the tie that holds
the country to all the corruption and
evil born of the war, and until this bond
is broken Io wholesome, sincere reform
is possible, no material advance can be
made to the new era of reform-the
regime of honesty purity and progress,
for which every good citizen prays,

GOAL OIL JOHNNIE"
Details of His Murder by His Wife

a. m. John Williams, alias John W Hall,
alias John Diamond, alias "Coal-Oil John
ME- was shot and instantly killed while
asleep ia a bagnio kept by Nine Agnes
Roland. His wife was the murderess. Hall,
originally from Joplin, Mo-, has led a very
eventfnl life throughout the country as a
gambler and confidence man. His wife was
Mrs. Edna Thomas, of No. Is Mcfarland
street, Cincinnati, O., to whom he has been
married about four years. Hall and his
wife have been here about week selling
tooth-paste and running wheel of fortune,
and were making considerable money. AT
night when through selling on the street
Hall went into faro bank, where he lost
Sl20. after which he called a hack driver
named John Cain, and was taken to Madam
Roland's About } o'clock in the morning
his wife, who was stopping at the st. Charles
hotel, awoke, and not finding her husband in
bed, Immediately dressed herself and started
out in search of him. Mrs. Hal entered
hack driven by Frank Cain, brother of
John, who had taken her husband to Roland's,
and asked him if he could find her husband.
Cain replied that he knew where he was, and
was paid and she was driven to Roland's
Arrived there Cain informed the
doorkeeper he had a lady friend
with him; that they wanted room in which
they could drink bottle of wine. They were
shown into the parlor Mrs. Hall then said
she would like to see the gentleman whom
John Cain had brought there, as she had

keeper went to the room, Cain and the woman
following immediately after She knocked
at the door and it was partially opened by the
girl, when Cain placed himself against it
and pushed it wide open. Mrs Hall entered,
and, seeing his revolver lying on the
bureau, picked it up, and, walking
over to the bed whereon he lay, placed it
against his breast and fired. The ball en-
tered the heart and death instantly ensued.
Hall was fast asleep. Cain stood by and al

ABOUT TILDEN.
Pulitzer Takes Ride With the EX-
President in the Cars.
From the New York World.


The editor of the World accidently
enjoyed the pleasure of Mr.. Tilden's
company while the latter came in yester
day from Yonkers. We are prepared to
dispose alike of the sensational stories of
Mr.. Tilden's extreme weakness and of the
equally sensational stories of his except
ional vigor
In the first place Mr.. Tilden must be
an early riser, as he boarded the train
which leaves Tarrytown few minutes
after eight. In the next place Mr.. Tilden
was not accompanied by any servant. In
the third place Mr. Ti!den's walk is per
fectly easy, and his figure more erect
than that of most people Of his age.
He walked down the aisle of one of the
ordinary cars quietly and naturally. With
his plain straw hat, his clean shaven face,
he attracted no more attention than one
of the thousand elderly business men
who come into New York on the morning
trains of the Hudson River road.
As to his health we are not prepared to
to give a physicians diagnosis nor Il
physicians certificate. But if clearness
of complexion and brightness of the eye
are safe indications, Mr.. Tilden is Ger
tainly as healthy a man as be was seven
years ago. His complexion is certainly
fresher and healthier, and his look has no
indication of weakness about it,
The partial paralysis or palsy or ner-
vous affection, or whatever it is, of his
right arm and hand continues, and he is
probably unable to make any efficient use
of that arm But as for his going to
sleep or slipping from his seat or needing
assistance, it is absurd. The Southern
Congressman's" description is so evidently
borrowed from Dickens description of
Grandfather Smallweed as not to need
notice
Mr.. Tilden's voice has not changed
noticeably. 1t is hardly strong enough to
be heard across the roar and rattle of a
railroad train speeding by the cuts and
hlllsides, but his voice was never strong.
When a man habitually talks in a low
tone of voice as Mr.. Tilden has done al
ways, it is sign that his vocal muscles
and organs are not strong. A low voice
is type OF character, just as loud voice
is type of another kind of character.
At no period in his life could Mr. Tilden
have been loud-voiced speaker like one
of Shakspeares 'robustions, periwig-
pated fellows, but his enunciation is not
affected in any way, and, except when
his voice was drowned by the noise of

TEXAS TERRORISM.
The Government without Power to
Punish the Haushn Assassins.

CHICAGO, July 21.-The Tribune's Wash
ington special says: The Democratic defense
of the murder of Judge Haughn, of Texas, is
that he was immoral and that he was assas-
sinated as the result of one of his escapades:
This explanation does not show why the
whole court is threatened with assassination
by the defendants, and in the election cases
Attorney General Brewster is reported to
have decided that the government has no
power to punish the assassins. 1t is said that
in September the government will send Dis
trict Attorney Evans, of Galveston, to try
these cases Evans is native Of Texas, and
has the reputation of being afraid of nothing
1t is alegcd that District Attorney Guthridge
believes his life in danger if he undertakes
these cases. and that Judge Haughn was
murdered to prevent the prosecution 1t is
quite evident that Mr.. Guthridge is in state
of fear, and it is more than likely that he
has reason for his fears

1888 He SAYS: Il have been troubled for years

Alleged Faith Cure.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., July 2l-Mrs. Henry
Ide, of East Providence, who for nearly
twenty years has been an invalid from spinal
disease and sCiatica, and for seventeen years
has been unable to walk, claims to have been
cured by faith and prayer. The Rev. A. A.
Cleveland, faith minister and his wife
prayed with Mrs Ide and anointed her with
consecrated oil about three weeks ago. She
says that she at once began to feel stronger,
and at half-past the next morning she got
up and was able to walk, and has been able
to walk ever since. This story comes from a
very trustworthy source, and there is no
doubt of the fact that the woman is cured by
some agenCT.

He talked freely and fuently; whatever
impairment his body may have suffer- d
his mind is as clear as ever His memory
is remarkably retentive and accurate, ex
tending to trifling incidents that one

about politics, about the electoral com
mission. the dangers of interviewing and
other natural topics of a half hours ride
There is no doubt that he still maintains
the same keen interest in and intelligent
attention to politics and to business.

DORSEY CONTRADlCTED.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-Judge Advocate
Swain, one of Gen. Garfield's chups, takes
issue with Dorsey regarding the latters
declaration to the effect that he was offered a
cabinet position. Swain denies that the offer
was ever made, and said that Gen. Garfield,
in discussing the question of Dorsey's appoint
ment, declared that there was a screw loose
in Dorsey's moral make up, which rendered
him unworthy Of a cabinet place. 1t is ex-
pected that SWANS talk on this subject will
bring out reply from Dorsey,

above is the story Of Mollie Hunter, who was
with Hall at the time, and is probably true.
After the killing Mrs. Hall entered the car
rage and was driven to Jail, where she sur
rendered to the police. The only cause at
tributed for the rash act is an insane jealousy
for her husband. The woman is in a very
critical state, and it is feard that her reason
has been dethroned. She acts as a maniac,
Gains action has been severely commented on
and his conduct universally condemned He
has not yet been arrested The body of Hall
was removed to the county undertaloer's, and
