New YoRK, May 2.-The second national
republican anti.saloon conference began
this morning in Cooper institute. Dele
gates from all the states are in attendance.
Chairman Griffin, in opening his address,
said tue only way in which the movement
can be successful is to have the help OF 9TH
ers that are not in the movement. Seventy
five per cent. of the republicans" he con-
tinued. are opposed to saloons and con-
slider it the paramount question, and only
ten per cent. favor saloons. Only half of
one per cent. of the republican party are in
the liquor business, and we hope by the
action of the next national convention this
element will be eliminated from that busi-
ness" Letters of regret were read from Jas
r Hawley, VIM. NJ Evarts. John Sherman

city drink liquor. There are not federal
bayonets enough in this country to enforce
the prescription of liquor. Let us then go

EBERT declared lunatic he could in that
way secure the money.
, he was partially successful in his plan. as
he secured his wife's confinement in the
blackwelrs Island Asylum, but she was dis
charged before he had completed the work
OF robbing his step-child.
On Sunday, the 9th of last November.
people living in the vicinity of Ebert's
house heard two shots fired in rapid success
sion. A few minutes later Ebert was seen
In his yard. He was holding onto the fence
and cropping his way TO the front door. He
was covered with blood that flowed from a
wound in his left temple. He was removed
to the city hospital and soon became un-
conscious When he recovered, his right
eye had been extracted from its socket.
He professed to remember nothing about
The shooting, but was proven guilty.
