introduction Of the new presiding officer to

there was another hearty shout of greeting,

he proceeded:
After expressing his appreciation Of the honor

DavcupOrt's Hest Policeman steps
DuI.

Officer Charles Garland, the best po-
Icemnn-nn the Davenport force, has re-
signed. The Davenport Democrats Gazette
tells of the cause as follows:
This forenoon Mayor Claussen accept
ed the resignation of Charles Garland as
member of the police force on which he
has served ten years and with An etficien
cy that has been eXCelled by no other pa
trolman and equalled by but few. 1t APP
pears that about three weeks ago Mr..
Garland was charged by Captain Thorn
as, Of Hose Three, with indicate treat~
ment of his daughter, a child of ID years.
Little was said about ii at the time. but
some malicious enemies of Garland got
hold of it and made mountain of sin
out of it, Saturday last Garland was
told of the scandal, and requesting the
company of Chief Kesslcr went to the
Thomases and heard the story. He says
that in the chiefs presence, Mrs. Thomas
said that the child never told her that
Garland lifted her dress above the knee
but that he tripped her up and took
hold of her. Papering was being done
in Mr.. Gartland's home, and the child
ran in, Garland saying, come in and
her attention was attracted to a picture
IN corner. and as she hurried toward it
Garland put foot out, and she fell upon
it, he lowered it so that she rolled to the
floor without harm. Then he picked her
up That was all there was of it. She
told two playmates of her frolic, they
told others about il, and the story soon
got magnfied into great wrong doing.
1t would seem that if the parents had
thought the matter was so deeply wrong
they would have made cry about it at
the time. Most fathers would have been
after Mr.. Garland with a revolver or
club. However, the mayor held an in>
vestigation Tuesday morning. He heard
the story of the girl herself, and of her
two playmates, to whom she told it, He
asked Garland if he had any defense to
make. The officer replied no-there was
only his simple denial. The mayor said
he would accept his resignatlOn-andM Mr..
Garland accommodated him forthwith.
This much can be said-it is only Mr..
Gartland's enemies who believe he was
guilty of any indecent treatment of the

failed, and that the fact would he authorita'
lively made known at the proper time.
On the other hand the friends Of Thurman
laughed at all this and said there was moth
ing in il; the thing was fixed, they ssid, and
Thurman was sure of nomination. Patrick
Kelly, of st. Paul offered to be 81 900 to
$500 that Thurman was the nominee and to
give any one who would bring an Indiana
man to him with desire to bet the best hat
in town for his trouble, or halfa dozen Of
them.
The quietness of the Indiana men, however,
was looked upon as indicating that they had
some scheme ON hand that would make things
interesting in the next session of the conven-
ton
1t was given out late, from the Indiana
headquarters, that ex Congressman Morrison
had consented to second the nomination of
Gray. The colonel himself could not be
found high or low, but of the 100 or more
lllinoisans that were congregated in the com
mittee-room, not one believed that the report
had any substantial basis
The Indiana delegation, at full meeting
last night, decided to vote as a unit and 10
stick to Governor Gray, even if every other
delegation in the convention went over ~

bets of S2JJ to 81 900 or g., 500 to $40 900 that
the Democrats will carry Ohio with Thurman

already ordered 10000 red bandannas for
campaign purposes.

Court Cuttings

The jury in the Heverling embezzle-
ment case brought in verdict of acquit-
tai this morning, and Messrs. Beardsley
and Kenworthy, attorneys, at once swore
out warrant for the arrest of j. A.
Smith, of the St. Louis Ice company,
who was the prosecuting witness, charg.
ing him with perjury in his evidence in
the case. and entered civil proceedings
against the company to recover two diff
ferent amounts, one OF $15 and the other
of $3.50
The charge of wilful and malicious
perjury was preferred before Magistrate
Bennett this morning, but States Attor-
ney Entrikin declined to prosecute, so
case was dismissed. Maj. Beardsley as
sured Mr. Entrikin that if he had any
delicacy about prosecuting, he would do
it for him, The states attorney declined
to push the case, however, and it as
dropped. This is considered piece of
very strange conduct on the states attor-
news part.

ST. Louis, June notwithstanding the
enthusiasm for Thurman shown at the con-
vention yesterday morning, there was good
deal Of gossip flying around last night re-
garding his chances. Those who were look
ing for sensation to spread and the enthu-
siastic friends of Gray thought the ad iourn-
ment was a black eye to the Old Roman
Just before the convention ad journed
Throckmorton, of Texas, who is Thurman
man, asked why, if Cleveland could be nom
mated without platform, Thurman could
not, and it looked like the move was set up
in the interest of Gray. But White of Cali
fornia, an ardent Thurman boomer, second
ed the motion, though many thought he made
a mistake. The talk among the Indianians-
who, by the way, were very quiet, their
headquarters being almost deserted, and none
of them doing any cheeTi.g and speaking for
their favorite-was that 365 votes
were pledged to Gray, and that Thurman,
although 800 were claimed for him, could not
get that many. He would fail of nomina-
ton they said, and then If Gray could not %
