I NJ. 90 .


ST. Louis, May 2S.-The convention of
the wool growers national association
adjourned at 8 40 a. IN. sine die. The
resolutions reported demand the restora-
ton of the wool tariff of 1867. The res
olutions recite that since the alteration
made in the import duty during 1883,
SOC, 1000, 600 have been lost 10 the wool
growers of America in lower prices
alone, saying nothing of the depression
in the value of fiocks. These figures are
based on comparison with the prices OF
1882. 1t is announced that if the tariff
is not restored the sheep hus'
baRdry of the country must
be abandoned. The action OF the
Golden club is severely criticised
A confederation among American pro-
ducers is recommended together to edu-
cate the people to the necessity of pro
curing suitable state legislation. The
association declares it will support only
such men and parties who favor protec
ton. The executive committee has beer
ordered to meet in Washington at the

WATSON AND WELSH.
Two Common Cheats Receive Their Just
Reward fn the Criminal Court.

The notorious confidence men, Wels:l
and Watson, were put on trial in the
Criminal Court yesterday, and old man
Blaydes of hansaF, whom they attempted
to swindle, was put on the stand. His
testimony did not wayer hairs breadth
from that already given, and the jury
promptly returned a verdict OF guilty,
fixing the fine at $3.50 each and leav-
ing the length of imprisonment to
the Judge, who has not yet made mp his
mind how long the county ought to en-
tertain them. As they have no money
with which to pay their fine they will have
to work it out on the roads at the ale of
twenty-five cents day. A great deal OF
interest has attached to the trial, because,
in the first place, it is very unusual
thing to- catch one II these shagpers,
and becayse, when caught, it is
exceedingly difficult to secure sufficient
proof tc convict them. While old man
Blsydes lost nothing, it was not by any
fault Of theirs, and he felt such sense of
outrage that he has put himself TO the
greatest trouble to secure them Just re-
ward and, Lesides, the police soon discov-
cred that they had committed similar Of
fenses at other places, and were vel
known to the police OF many OF the large
cities.
