Much Decentralization.
Special to the Globe.

DAVENPORT, Aug. 27.-The Republi-
cans of Scott county are dissatisfied with
the ticket put in nomination to-day. They
have great confidence in Larrabee and feel
that his sentiments Oh the liquor question
coincide with theirs. In fact, they really
believe that the entire ticket smacks of the
anti-Prohibition faith. The temperance
plank adopted by the convention receives
10 approval here, and the action of
ALr. Waterman of this city in making
a minority report on various questions
was received with general satisfaction.
Judge Beck's denomination is considered a
rebuke TO the ClarksOn regency. Democrats
feels jubilant over the prospects Of what
they term grand old victory. A promi-
nent Democratic politician remarked that
the chances for Democratic victory were
never better in the history of the party in
Iowa. The fight of the river delegates for
license plank receives appreciation. Re
publicanS here feel that they have little
influence in the workings Of the party.
Every measure they favored seemed TO be
squelched by the back counties, and it
would not be surprising if they repudiated
TINS treatment by increasing the Democratic
majority in these parts. Great interest was
taken here in the Brown-Sherman matter
Inc sentiment prevails that Brown has been
WNrohged, and that Sherman should have
oeeh censured. The Democrats say that
inns quarrel Is but warning to Republicans
of their coming defeat.

Dapger Of sham Rat,Ies.

LA SALE, ILL.,. Aug. 27.-Private R. A.
Purdee of the Fourth regiment, Illinois
National Guards, who was wounded in the
face during the sham battle at the state en-
campment near Ottawa, two weeks ago,
died here to-day from lOckjaw, induced by
his injuries. Great indignation prevails
against the First Illinois Cavalry regiment,
which is held responsible for his death.
Statements were publicly made after the
battle that the cavalry had a grudge
against certain other regiments, and had
gone into the fight with preconcerted de-
sign of manning as many of its opponents
as possible. Vicious fighting and the num-
Der of casualties that characterized the battle
excited much comment at the time. Private
Purdee leaves wife and four children in in
digent circumstances. The coroner will
hold an inquest tomorrow, and, if the guilty
persons can be determined, their arrest will
be made forthwith.

Minneapolis, Minn. The Ann ArOor meet
ing is not numerically equal to some OF the
former, but incorporation of fellows present
IS very large, showing that the quality of
the convention is very superior 10 those
preceding. The fellows and members COM
prise the membership of the association, the
former being selected for special attain
ments in their department. Tonight the
WaShtenaw county court house was brill
iantly decorated for the reception to scien-

letters "A. 4. a. s." formed with electric
light lamps. Within the building were
flags and bunting, tastefully draped. and
upon the walls were the names of the

The COurt,s nefense.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-The judges of
the court of Alabama claims will probably
prepare defense and make a fight for the
retention and payment of their employees.
1t is said at the court that the authority
given to organize included the authority to
employ all necessary clerical assistance, and
that the force is barely sufficient to per-
form the work required of them, and at
one time extra assistance had to be en-
ployed, and this force worked day and
night. They assert that Judge Laurence,
the former comptroller, approved of the es-
tablishment and management of the court,
and that he was applied to for an opinion
as to the authority of the court to employ
more clerks, and he replied that the court
had the authority in itself

LAWRENCE, Mass, Aug. 27.-Albert D.
Swan one of the most prominent and
WealthieSt citizen here, was shot in the
back of the head and killed by Henry r.

Goodwin gave himself up. Goodwin
entered the Office of the l.. Sprague Manu-
Iactunng company, of which Mr.. Swan
was treasurer, about 10 o'clock, President
Cobun and the latter being in the office at
the time. Goodwin has been in the en-
ploy OF the Molecular Telephone company
OF New \ Ork, of which Swan was the gem
eral manager, and came to the office to
claim several thousand dollars which he
said was due him from the company. After
brief discussion Goodwin drew a revolver,
took deliberate aim and shot Swan in the
back of the head. Swan reeled and fell to
the floor dead. Goodwin then stepped to
the telephone and notified the police station
10 send an officer to arrest him. He stated
that Swan had robbed him of all he had
and there was period in a mans life when
he could stand no more. lie had reached
that point and went to the mill to kill
Swan and was willing to stand the con-
sequence. He started a telephone business
here and later sold out to Swan and his
partner. He then went to South America
as manager of the Bell telephone system at
DNOAiOS ~ SISo, 16luIutu ABOUT TWO Years
ago and has lately been trying to establish
the-molecular system in Cleveland. He
returned from Chicago but three days ago.
Alr. Swan was prominent banker of this
state and New York and was universally
esteemed.
The difficulty between Goodwin and Swan
was about a telephone switch board which
the former invented and the latter under
t0Ok to get patented, but failed to make all
the necessary payments, i'll default of which
New York firm, to whom Swan sent
Goodwin for advice, applied for patent on
the device. The matter was finally fixed
up, but Goodwin claimed to have lost a
chance to sell the invention for $40, 600.
The switch board failed to work and Good
win refused to fix it The claim of his
friends is that Swan prevented Goodwin
from getting work in order to force him to
fix the switch board Goodwin had Just
returned from a siX-weeks' Western trip in
fruitless search for employment. Swans
friends claim that he was one of GoodWin's
best friends
