MISS VIRGINIA McTAvIsH, of Baltimore, IL
to marry the rich duke of Norfolk A cores
pondent says that she is tall, stately and a
blonde. She is a leading society belle in Balti-
more and New York, but is not popular be-
cause OF her excessive hauteur. She is %
daughter OF Charles Carroll McTayish, a lineal
descendant OF Charles Carroll, of Carrollton,
and her mother was q Miss Scott, daughter
of General Winfield Scott. She is considered
the finest horsewoman in America, and on her
imported Irish hunter frequently rides ahead
of all the male members of tho Elkridge
Rockaway and Cedarhurst hunts. Two of her
sisters have retired to converts The elder,
Miss Emily, took the visitation veil at Nouns
Desailles and gave her fortune to the church.
The younger one became a Carmelite nun.
She is just the one of all the rich and pretty
women of Baltimore who would appreciate
and do justice to the position and title of
duchess of Norfolk. An aunt of Miss McTay-
ish married the first and last marquis Of We'll
lesley, for some time encouragement Of India.
He was the elder brother of the great dixie of

Adopted at the Democratic state
Convention in Virginia City,
EeVa da, May II, 1888.

The Democratic party of the State of Neva-

Votion to the Federal Uniok, and to the Con-
stitution of the United States and its amend
ments, and hereby rladOpts the principles Of
constitutional government promulgated by
the Democratic National Convention of 1881
and affirmed by the people in the election OF
Grover Cleveland and Thomns A. Hendricks,
President and Vice-Presidunt of The United
States.
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND INDoRsED.
Ye congratulate the country upon the sue
cessful administration of President Cleve-
land.
He hos maintained the peace and diguity of
the Lation; has upheld Public Credit; has re-
duce public expenses; has estored millions
of acres to the public domain, and has ilnpar.
TALLY enforced the laws throughout the Length
ond breadth OF the land.
Under his wise and benefcent administra-
tiuD the whole country is enjoying rel4arI. able
prosperity and all sectional feeling has been
obliIeIated.
The Democracy of Nevada recommend hi
denomination, and invite all liberal.rnindcd
men, irrespective of past party predictions,
THE TARItf QUESTION.
We fully opprove of the efforts of The Demo-
cratic Representatives in Congress- to perform
the pledge made by the last National Demo
cratic Convention to reform and remove taxes,
to the end that the labor of the country be re-
lievod of onerous and unnecessary burdens.
We denounce the present tariff system, whic b
creates an annual surplus of s155 600 900 IN the
National Treasury, by taxing the every day
necessities of our farmers, miners and labor
ers for the benefit of protected Eastern manu-
IA sturers 80 for every dollar that goes into the
Trs ESury, and which does not protect the la
borer. We declare that taxation should be
limited to the requirements of governments,
aAd that the burden of taxation should rest
upon those who use Injuries rather than upon
those who use only the necessaries of life.
FREE CUIsAGE OF SILVER ADVOCATED.
We favor the free coinage of silver now en-
joyed by gold, or, in lieu thereof, the right of
deposit in all of the Mints Of gold and silver
bul ion, for which certificates shall be issued
payable in coin in the same manner that Unit
ed States notes are now payable; said certif-
Gates to be legal tender for all debts, and tho

THE FEVER ARATING
Substantial Aid Called Observation-Disclosures
to Sufferers

JACKSONVILLE Fla, September 28.-The
reduction in the number of new cases and
deaths to-day seems to justify the hope
that the worst of the epidemic is over
Eighty-fiVe cases we're reported to-day, of
which twenty-six we're white and fifty y-nine
colored. The deaths were five. DR.. L. T.
Eddy, Of Louisville, who was one of the
first Of the heroic physicians who re-
sponded to the call for medical aid, was
taken down to-day. 1t is believed now
there is no yellow fever in Florida except
at Jacksonville, Fernandina, McClenna,
Sanderson, Gainess, Tampa and Monatee,
except, perhaps, sporadic cases near
the places named A splendid orange
crop is ripening and there can be no dan
ger in sending it to market in fumigated
cars.
CONTRIBUTIONS TO FEVER SUFFERERS.
New YORK, September 28.-The total
contributions received to-day for the yell
low fever sufferers amounted to $1.56O. AT

cided to telegraph Jacksonville to send
relief to Fernandina.
ONLY ONE CASE.
NASHVILLE, September 28.-The Ameri
cans Decatur, Ala, special says: Only
one case of yellow fever is reported to-day
and that is doubtful. DR.. Black, who was
reported i'll yesterday, is still quite sick
with several symptoms of fever. All pa
tients under treatment are doing we'll
with two exceptions.

MURDER MOST FOUL.
The CorOner's Jury Thinks Annie Lund-
strom Was Killed by Geo ID. Gryson.

HELENA, October 2.-Yesterday morn
ing a prospector reported to Officer Ba-
shaw, of the police court, that he had
found the body of woman in prospect
hole, about mile east of town. lnvesti-
cations we're at once begun and Sheriff
Hathaway descended the shaft about
twenty-five feet, then entered an inclining
drift where he found
THE BODY OF A WOMAN
with head crushed and the whole corpse
covered with white mould and attired in
ordinary female apparel with gold chain
around her neck. Over the body had
been placed large pile Of rocks. The
body was brought to the morgue by Coro-
ner Morris and was recognized as that of
the missing Annie Lundstrom for whose
mysterious disappearance Geo. Brisson, or
Bryson, is being held in the county Jail.
At o'clock last evening an inquest was
begun, and after examining several wit
nesses, was continued until 10 o'clock to-
day. Bryson was informed OF the finding
of the body, and still claims
HE DID NOT KILL HER.
A woman named Mrs. Thompson has
been placed under arrest and will be held
as an important witness. Last night a
score of deputies, armed with Winches-
ters, were stationed around the jail, owing
to a report that Bryson was to be lynched,
but the report proved to be without foun-
dation.
LArER.-The coroner's jury to-day
brought in a verdict that Annie Lund-
strum came to her death by some violent
means supposed to have been used by
Geo. D. Bryson.

SAN Francisco, Sept. 28.-The condi-
tion of the three men who were wounded
in the meeting at the rooms Of the repub-
lican county committee last night are ia
vorable for recovery this evening, with
the exception of Christianson. The
cause of the fracas is not yet fully known,
a different theory being given by Nom
bers of the different political parties.
There was, however, during yesterday af-
ternoon aed last night seemingly organ
lied effort Of a faction of the lowest
classes of the city, styling themselves in
dependent voters, to gain control of the
ballot box and tear up or burn the ballots
that were cast at the republican prima-
ries. Several bloody scenes we're enacted
but no lives were lost. In some districts
the scenes enacted exceeded in their ruff
family character anything Of the kind be-
fore known in San Francisco.

HIGH-HANDED OUTRAGE
A Butte Miner Beaten Nearly to Death by
Another.

BUTTE, October 1.-While at work at
the Wake-Up-Jim mine on Saturday,
James and Charles Thomas unearthed a
stick of giant powder which had been
concealed in the floor where these two
miners were working. About the time
they came across it the boss appeared.
James Lynch and his partners who were
on the opposite shaft were suspected of
having something to do with the peculiar
occurrence. Several times previous has
powder been found secreted in a similar
manner. When Lynch arrived at the
mine to go to work on the Sunday shift,
the boss charged him with placing the
powder where it was found and dis
charged him and his partners. Shorty
after, when the Thomas brothers had left
the mine to 60 home, Lynch approached
James Thomas and charged him with
telling the boss that he had hid the pow
der, at the same time telling him with
rock While he was down he brutally
kicked and cuffed him and was joined in
the beating by one of his partners.
Charley Thomas stood by ard was warned
by one of the party not to interfere or he
would run a candle stick through him, at
the same time holding miners candle
stick to his breast. Joseph Thomas was
carried home in senseless condition
Lynch has been arrested and placed
under heavy bonds to await hearing.
