AN OBJECTIONABLE CANDIDATE.
A Well-Known Democrat Who Thinks McMul
len Is Not Fit To Be Attorney General.

Mr.. L. D. Moody, the well-known Democrat,
always heretofore an uncompromising partisan,
fatty refuses to support Mr.. McMulen, the Au-
rora lawyer, and late member of the Legislature,
who has been nominated for Attorney general
Mr. Moody is very free with hts objections to
Mr. McMullen when approached conversation
ally, but has dislike to appear in
print. He expressed himself last evening
to a Journal reporter as follows: II do not
see how any underwater can support Mr.. Nc
Mullen. He is either unfriendly to a legitimate
interest or worse In either event he is not
fit man for Attorney general. He introduced a
bill into the last Legislature attaching penalty
of 10 per cent. a month on all claims not paid
within sixty days. 1t was coupled with such a
condition that mere notice of loss by claimants
had the effect to waive proofs OF loss under the
contract
1.-The proposed measure was not in the inter
est of honest claims, because none such are per
mitted to run sixty days; but it was in the inter
est of scoundrels, for only such claims run over
the time mentioned in the policy. The bill
would virtually estop US from fighting fraudu-
lent claims unless we had sufficient proof to put
the claimant into the penitentiary. If Mr. Me-
Mullen believes such laws as this are in the in
terest of publicly policy, is he fit to be Attorney
general of 1ndiana"

any right to take part in this matter, as he is a
resident of another district Kern's
only reply was to refute the charge
that had frequently been made that
the Bailey candidacy had no standing He re-
ferred to a long list of reputable gentlemen,
naming them, who were against Bynnm at any
cost. Among those mentioned were four federal,
State and county officers, besides many mer-
chants. bankers and business men.
1t being about time for another proposition,
Mr.. Bynum read the following: Il hereby agree
that the State central committee may decide
whether Mr.. Bailey or myself is the nominee of
the Democratic convention for Congress in the
Seventh congressional district, and that
cision, may go behind the result
as announced by the convention and determine
vino were the legal delegates. and if they find
that a majority of the legal delegates was not in
either of the conventions at the time of the
nomination of either, then said committee may
decide that there was nomination.
As promptly as it was offered came the re-
fusal of Mr.. Bailey to accept it. He
however, had his form ready, and delivered it as
follows: II will agree to abide the decision OF
propositions: First whether Mr.. Bynum or Mr..
Bailey was regularly nominated. Second, that
if the committee decide upon full investiga-
ton of all the facts, that they are of such char
acter as to cast doubt and uncertainty upon the
candidacy of both, that the committee shall be
empowered to so conclude and decide that nei-
Their is the nominee" This the Bynum side de-
clined
The committee was not inclined to continue
this proftless contention as to phrase and form,
nor to hear any more speeches. The candidates
and their friends were asked to retire. They did
so. to linger few minutes in the outer room,
which gave Bynum and Kern an opportunity to
snake hands and laugh over their sensational in
cident. Within q few minutes the committee
adjourned until 8 o'clock this morning without
coming to any decision.

Wisconsin Forest Fires.

Dispatches from Milwaukee state that ex-
tensive forest fires are now prevailing in
Northern Wisconsin. For an almost I'M
interrupted distance of 100 miles north of
Stevens Point, along the line of the Wiscon-
sin Central, fires are raging and hundreds
Of men are fighting the flames seeking to
save towns and villages hemmedin by them.
Telegraphic communication is greatly in
terfered with and the details are meager.
Complete destruction Of the town of Spen-
Ger is fully confirmed, and the loss is now
placed at $500, 900. Several men are des-
titute and homeless at Colby. The village
of Prentice, in Marathon County, is sur
rounded by flames, and it is feared that it
will be swept out of existence unless the
wind dies down. Near Chippewa Falls the
fires are confined to the prairies and 10
buildings were destroyed. Several farms
were devastated of their crops. In the
Menominee River region copious rains have
extinguished the fires that have ragged there.
The estimates of pine burned in the Ne
nominee region place the amount at up!
ward of 100, 600, 900 feet.

A Connecticut Ghost Story.

A genuine ghost story comes from Che
shire, a small rural town about fourteen
miles north of New Haven, Conn. Patrick
Egan, one Of the Oldest citizens of the town,
was riding along with his horse md buggy
on the road by the old Jenny Hill Barytes
nine, when suddenly his horse SHE'D and
nearly overturned the buggy. He quoted
the horse down, and then there came from
the mine, Or by the side of the road, a most
Undesirable hobgoblin, who came up to the
buggy and climbed in. Egan seemed to
have lost all power Of protest. The pres
ence was rather misty and family resembled
n human being. 1t rode with him half a
mile, when+he horse stopped of its own ac-
cord, and the ghostly presence alighted and
vanished into the air, and Egan at once felt
like himself. The ghost had no weight and
did not cause the springs of the buggy to
sag a bit. Egan says that the best $40 gold
piece ever coined would not induce him to
go over that road again. He says the same
ghost got into his wagon some time ago in
precisely the same way, ard went through
exactly the same performance. No amount
Of argument or reasoning will induce Egan
to admit that he has been a victim of opti-
cal illusion, or that he may be suffering
under temporary mental alteration.

Tn. outlook for Cotton.


The cotton crop report for the Memphis
District, published by Hill, Fontaine & Co.,
saws: The weather during July was, in the
main, favorable for cotton. The continu-
GUS rains which fell during June had made
it impossible for farmers to work their
crops, and the fair weather that followed
enabled them to clean their fields. and the
gloomy prospects, as indicated in our June
report, have given way to more cheering
accounts. From all over the district the
reports are that the plant is forming,
blooming and boiling we'll. The present
condition of the cotton crop is favorable,
and as compared with last year ut this time
is equally promising. The picking season
will not begin until toward the close of Au-
gust, and will not become general through,
out the district until about the middle of
September. The weather during August
will have much to do with the ultimate out
come of the crop, but with favorable sea-
sons the yield will be fully up to that of
last year, especially in Arkansas, where the
prospects are very bright for a full average
crop. Corn has suffered TO a greater extent
than cotton, and the most that can be ex-
pected is only a fair yield of this cereal.
Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama all
report the corn crop as being cut short by
unfavorable seasons.

Swamp Land Contests.

The Secretary of the Interior has rem
dered an important decision upon the APP
plication of Gov. Moody, of Oregon. re-
guessing the department to order the dis
nlissal of all contests to determine the
character of lands which have been hereto
fore approved and certified to the State of
Oregon as swamp and overlooked under the
swamp land grant. The Secretary decides
that after approval and certitication by the
department and Land Office the character
OF such lands cannot again be called in
question upon affidavit of contest which
merely alleges that the land is not of the
character granted, unless the applicant
further alleges fraud or mistake in the pro-
curement of the decision of the Secretary.
and the acts constituting fraud must be
specially stated.

Died with Their Boots On.

Ramona Oliveria, a Mexican vaquero,
md Thomas Wright We're shot and killed at
Thirty-Mile Springs, south of Ruby Valley,
Utah, under the following circumstances:
a party consisting of Wright, Ramona,
Moulton and others We're gathering stock in
the vicinity Of the springs, mentioned. They
had come to camp and turned loose most of
their riding horses, at which Ramona took
umbrage, abusing Wright and Moulton in
the foulest language, asserting that they did
not care what became of his stock so long
as theirs were secured. Becoming very
angry he threatened to kill Moulton. and
when Wright expostulated with him Ra-
none broke forces and, drawing a pistol,
fired n shot at Wright. missing him, but
Immediately sent a second shot, which
passed clear through Wright's body, in
stantly telling him to the ground. As
Wright fell Moulton put the only ball in his
pistol through tie body of Ramona, killing
him. The body fell forward toward that of
Wright, who at that moment raised himself
on one arm, fired a shot into Ramone's head
asd fell back dead. Neither uttered a sound
after they fell.

Burned lin His Fortune.

Mr.. L. w. Small, of Brooklyn, N. Y,
formerly a member of the Chicago firm of
Small & Bros, sugar dealers, during a tit
of sickness and mental alteration, burnrd
up $107, 900 hard cash, which was the whole
of his worldly fortune. Mr.. Small moved
from Chicago to Brooklyn in 1879. In 1882
he was badly injured in the head by being
violently thrown from a carriage when he
was out driving. His head has troubled
him more or less ever since. This caused
him to give up his operations in Wall street,
and he put his money in safety deposit
vaults. Not long ago his headaches ceased,
and, while his wife was absent on a visit to
her relatives in Maine, he took his money
out of the vault, intending to invest in Sc
c%urities. One night he had to keep the cash
in his room. Ittroubled him. First he put
it into his trunk; then under his pillow.
But he could not sleep until he had swal-
lowed a dose of bromide. Of what took
place after this his remembrance is vague
and indistinct, but when he awoke and re-
covered his sense he found that he had set
fire to the bed and burned it to ashes and
with it the $1O7, 900. Mr.. Small will now
let Wall street alone and return to Chicago
to retrieve his fallen fortunes in the sugar
business.

Attempted kidnapping.

A young Englishman named Smith has
been paying his addresses to Rebecca
Smith, the daughter of a prominent farmer,
near Morton, Manitoba. Finding his suit
resented he tried to llidnap his sweetheart.
He subsequently met her at the residence
of Newton Lane and requested her to
marry him. She positively refused, where
upon Smith left the house and went to the
stable. In a short time he returned with a
horse and buggy belonging to Lane, and
called for his love. Receiving no reply, he
went upstairs and found that she had locked
herself in her room. He then forced open
the door, dragged her downstairs and into
the yard, giving no heed to her screams.
He threw her into the buggy and started for
the international boundary. A struggle en-
sued Ell route, which ended in the buggy
being smashed. The lady, taking advan-
tage of the accident, escaped back TO the
house of Lane, but Smith continued his
journey to Dakota. Newton Lane, the
other gentleman, the next day gave chase
to the would-be kidnapper and overlook
him at Elkton. He was arrested and tried
for kidnapping and horse stealing and
house breaking.

A Tcrrible RECORD.

News comes from Choleau, Northern
Montana, that a warrant was sworn out
there by some cattlemen for the arrest of
the notorious "Nosey" Smith, who lately
had the fight with Stock Detective Landers,
on a charge of stealing and killing cattle.
"Nosey" has a cabin on the north fork of
Sun River, near the mountains, where he
lives when at home with his wife and half
breed family. A trio of cowboys were
sworn in as special constables to arrest
him, but on their arrivrl "Nosey" had fled.
His wife-whom he had knocked down,
breaking her armand his 13-year-old
daughter, whom he had also beaten and
outraged in the presence of the family, tell
a horrible story. They say "Nosey" killed
a Frenchman by the name of Baptiste about
five weeks ago, who lived at South Fork,
and also a sergeant from Fort Shaw.
"Nosey's" wife says she helped throw the
sergeant and his gun into the river. Both
these men are missing. The woman fur
Their states that her husband killed thirty
six cattle this spring, and ample evidences
are found around the cabin of his nefarious
occupation. "Nosey" and his son were
seen about a week ago at the head of Birch
Creek with a wagon and some horses head
ing for the North.
