reached Alma with the prisoner; a
large crowd was in waiting and when
they started for Justice Yeringto as
Office the crowd pressed upon them
in rather demonstrative manner, yet
no violence was attempted. After
some delay the crowd pecoming
somewhat impatient and sdne cries
for "rope' were made, the officers
in manly way appealed to the bet
ter judgement Of the crowd who
proved themselves TO be an orderly
and law abiding people, allowed the
officers to take their prisoner by
cutter to Ithaca, where he is at pres
ent incarcerated. 1t is not known
when his examination will be held.
The post mortem examination,
conducted by Drs. Suydam, lering-
ton and Downie, we understand, re-
veals the fact that death was caused
by stranguation.f
The coroner's jury are still in ses-
sion, and since the presentation o
this letter by the prisoner have sent
the contents Of the stomach to De
troit for an analysis; this of necessity
delays their verdict 50 that we are
unable to give it in this weeks issue.
This We regret.
Mrs. Palmer was an industrious,

bors, who are almost If not altogeth-

at Wakefield was burned late last night
and two lives were lost. Every one es-
capped from the flames except johnny and
Harry Bowter, aged three and four years
respectively, sons of the landlord, who
were cut off despite desperate efforts to
rescue them. A number of guests es-
capped in their night clothes. By the hard
work of the citizens the Perry house and
surrounding buildings were saved. The
form of a man was seen at a window
through the flames and smoke, but an ex-
animation of the ruins this morning re-
vealed only the bodies of the two children.

Blaine Heard From.

New YORK, June 2l.-The Tribune of
this morning has the following:
LONDON, June 20.-Blaine asks me TO
say that all rumors In the United States
pretending to give letters or dispatches
from him or any of his party touching
political topics of any kind may be
promptly d~iscredited unless signed by
Blaine himself. He has sent nothing
whatever on the presidential question ex-
cept his Florence and Paris letters and has
had no correspondence of any kind with
any gentlemen named in connection with
the Republican nomination. Blaine is
now on the borders of Scotland pursuing
his coaching tour.

He would not do it by false pretenses,
he would go straight at the mark. In
conclusion he said: We can catch up the
glorious refrain that comes from Oregon
and carry it sweeping over the whole
country with magnificent triumphs which
will knock Grover Cleveland and the ban
dana into ''innocuous desuetude." Loud
and long continued applause and cheers.
Heller of North Carolina moved that
Col. Robert G. Ingersoll be asked to
make an address, but the committee on
credentials being ready to report the reg
ular order was proceeded with. The
chairman of the credential committee
then advanced to the platform and made
his report. The report among other
recommendations favors the admission of
the Wise district
DELEGATES FROM VIRGINIA.
and four Malone delegates at large.
Russell, of North Carolina, from the
credentials committee presented a minor
ity report which dissents from the major
ity report in favor of the admission of the
Wise delegates from the second, fifth,
sixth, seventh, eighth and tenth districts,
who it is claimed were elected by pre-
tended conventions never called by the
state committee. The report also favors
the admission of the Malone delegates
from the second, fifth, sixth, seventh,
eighth and tenth districts.
The majority report was adopted, ex-
cept so much thereof as relates to the
Virginia contests.
A long and rather acrimonious debate
ensued during which both Wise and
RIDDLEBERGER WERE HEARD.
That part of the credentials committees
report upon the admission of Virginia del
egates at large was adopted. The ques-
ton then REQUIRED upon the admission of
delegates from the second district of Vir-
ginia. The majority report on the second
Virginia district was adopted at IL :24 p.
NJ. The majority report seats the Wise
delegates and the minority report which
seats the Malone delegates was offered as
a substitute and a call of states was had
on the adoption of the substitute. The
minority report was rejected: yeas $50,
nays 1852. The announcement OF the vote
was received with applause. The major
ity report was then adopted as a whole
and applicable to all the Virginia districts.
Then the convention at IL :25 adjourned
until tomorrow at 10 o'clock.

In Brief. and to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is foe to
good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and Won
derful things in existence. 1t is easily
put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
and many other things which ought
not to be, have made the American
people nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done
a wonderful work in reforming this sad
business and making the American
people so healthy that they can enjoy
their meals and be happy.
Remember-No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the dys-
peptic. Ask your druggist for bottle.
