commit the Convention to a reduction
OF the revenues about one hundred
millions OF dollars in general terms, and
to keep clear Of any declarations which
would be likely to create any further
division in the party. The Committee
on Resolutions will beexpected to frame
a tariff plank which, while it shall prove
acceptable to the Democrats OF Connecti-
cut and New Jersey, will not seem to
snub the Democrats Of Georgia.
In the latter State the issue was made
squarely on the tariff, and every dele
gate chosen is for the Mills bill. That
Convention voted down the tariff planks
OF the Democratic National Conventions
OF 1876, 1850 and 1884. In the Georgia
Convention even resolutions OF courtesy
to Democrats known to be favorable to
protection were turned out OF sight, and
once when the name OF U. S. Senator
Joseph Brown was mentioned in COM
plimentary manner the resolution was
Kissed down. The delegates from
Georgia are nearly all fthe them young
lawyers, and enthusiastic free traders.
Patrick Walsh, the present representa-.
tive Of State on National Democratic
Committee, was defeated for delegate:at-
large to National Convention solely be-
cause he was a Democrat.
The Committee on Platform will not
have an easy task, and it is expected
that considerable opposition to the
Conservative" policy that has been out
lined, may be expected from the hot
headed and enthusiastic young free
traders who constitute the delegation
from the State OF Georgia, and who
were elected on platform which dis
tinCtly repudiates the platform which it
Is now proposed to adopt.

HIS INNOCENCE PROVED TOO LATE.
An Old Negro Who Suffered For q Crime
He Did Not Commit.

An Old Negro Who Suffered For Crime
He Did Not Commit.
New York, June4.-One spring morn
ing two years ago the people of New
Jersey and OF New York too, were
startled that such crime had been COM
mitted in the former State, within fifty
miles OF this city, as it was supposed
could hardly occur in law abiding
Eastern community.
Samuel Johnson, an old negro, who
was familiarly called Mingo Jack, be-
cause he used to attend trotting horse
OF that name, had been lynched in an
atrocious manner at Eatontown, be-
cause, as there was great deal OF reason
to believe he had assaulted Miss Anjo-
line Herbert, white girl. The negro
protested his innocence to the last, and
in the most heartrending manner i'm
plored his assassins to spare him.
Now comes IN appalling story in the
shape OF confession from the real crimi-
nal that Mingo Jack was innocent.
Richard Kearney, negro, under SEN
tence OF death in Freehold, n. j., for
the murder Of Mrs. Magaret Purcell,
voluntarily made sworn statement to
officials on Saturday night that il was
he, not Mingo Jack, who assaulted Miss
Herbert

have been received concerning the fu-
rious storm which swept over Washing

In one hamlet twelve houses were de-

FRIGHTFUL CALAMITY.
Eleven Persons Burned to Death
in a Texas Hotel.
VAIN ATTEMPTS AT RESCUE
On the Part of Their Friends.
Though Only in the Second Story
They Perish in the Flames.
The Unfortunate Victims.

RocEDALE, TEX, June A most
horrifying calamity has befallen Rock
dale. This morning about A o'clock the
Mundine Hotel, three.story brick
building, was found to be on fire and
was quickly all ablaze. Inside were
thirteen persons, only two of whom cs-
capped alive. DR.. W. A. Brooks, the
proprietor, was pulled out of the burn
ing building with his hair singed
off and otherwise badly burned, leaving
behind him his wife and four children,
who perished. Pemberton Pierce, rep
resenting the firm of George
B. Zergler, OF Philadelphia, jump
ed from the burning building and
was killed. D. NJ. Oldham, of Dallas,
escaped badly singed. The mystery
about the thing is that so many should
have perished when none were higher
than the second story, and there were
galleries and exists on both sides OF the
building occupied by the sleepers. No
One was heard to call or scream, all dying
without cry for help, though n great
'rowd quickly gathered and exhausted
'very effort to rescue. The remains Of
several have been recovered from the
ruins, but they are unrecognizabie. a
great pail rests over Rockdale, and every
place OF business is closed. Mr.. Pierce
s the only nonresident victim. The
DecuniarY loss is about $4,000,

ESCAPE OF A LEPER.

A Patient Flies from the Canadian Laza-
rettO to the United States.
OTTAWA, June AT the present mo-
ment there are seventeen leprous pa.
tients confined in the Lazaretto at Trae-
die, New Brunswiek-eight males aud
nine females. During the past year
three deaths occurred from the disease,
while one escaped to the United States,
where probably the seed OF the disease
may be sown to raise up colony OF
these unfortunate beings.
During the past year the physician in
charge reports to the Government that
hearing of two suspected cases ut Cara
quet he visited the locality and discov-
cred that the two young persons, who
had endeavored to conceal the fact, were
afflicted with leprosy in its earlier stages,
and their removal TO the Lazaretto was
ordered Immediately. All known cases
in the province are now within the walls
OF the Lazrretto. The authorities appear
to be badly cut up over the escape OF
one of the patients to the United States,
but endeavor to clear themselves OF the
responsibility on the ground that every
precaution to prevent such an occurrence
had been taken.

night that the platform of 1854 is to be
re-adopted, with a supplementary reso.
luton approving the Presidents mess

cratic organ, the Post, has repeatedly
declared the platform OF 1884 an evasion
disgraceful to the party, and
this is the view Of leading Democrats
who are pushing the Mills bill, Action
OH the bill has been purposely delayed
for approval by the National Conven,
tion. 1t is now feared that the Randall,

With Reference to tho Mills Blll-Th
Democratic Caucus.

WIN kkGktFtuCt tu thh NAlld
Democratic Caucus.
WARRINGTON, D. c., June 4.-The
Republican members OF the House ex-
plain their action in breaking a quorum
in the House to-day by the statement
that the day was under the regular
order set apart by motions to suspend
the rules and pass measures called up
by individuals.
In preparation for such an order,
Representative Merrick, Of Kansas, had
made ready to move to pass the Senate
Dependent Pension bill. Had the DEM
oorats seen fit to dispense with "suspen-
sion day" and proceed with the consid-
Grafton Of the tariff, there would have
been no opposition; but the burden Of
complaint among the Republicans is
that after Mr.. Mills had recognized the
character Of the day by the motion to
suspend the rules and pass his resolu-
ton setting apart certain evening ses-
sions for action upon committee reports,
the parliamentary usages and proprieties
were violated by the refusal Of the
Speaker pro tenn to recognize member
on the Republican side to make u sus-
peusory motion. Therefore they re.
fused to take up the tariff bill.
Tho apparent explanation Of the
course pursued by the Democratic side
is that the Committee on Rules wished
to make the opportunity for Legislative
business other than the tariff bill, but
report fixing dates, il presented in the
House, would be open to amendment in
an Objectionable way, Therefore Mr..
Mill pursued the plan OF moving the re-
port in the shape OF resolution on sus-
pension day, when it could not he
amended under the rules.
The Democratic members OF the Ways
and Means Committee were in consulta-
ton for some time after the adjourn
meut OF the House to-day, discussing
the situation. Counting on the ahan.
donment OF further obstructive tactics
by the Republicans, the tariff bill will
be called up Tomorrow morning imme-
diately after the reading Of the journal,
it being the intention to allow no further
legislation "by unanimous consent"
There was some talk Of laying the tariff
bill aside for time in order to permit
the House to pass the Army Appropria-
ton bill, but il was concluded that a bad
moral effect might follow the adoption
OF such course. To meet the Republic
can demand for additional pension legis-
lation and at the same tsme to preserve
record in the matter of tariff reduction,
y number OF Democrats incline faVorabiy
to the plan OF setting apart n day for
such legislation, with the understanding
that at the proper time motion will be
made similar to that made at one time by
Mr.. Morrison under like circumstances,
to provide the money required to meet
the expenditures authorized by the
proposition OF tax on incomes above
5000, Up to this time, however, the
proposition has not taken practical
shape.

withdrew Davis. Clements was chosen
by acclamation. An enthusiastic friend
had already caused Clements to be
made Vice President of the Convention
for West Virginia, and this might have
caused little awkwardness had not the
delegation been feeling so kindly toward
Clements that it was willing to give
him all it had. Capt. Clements was
plased and so were all the brethren.
Following committee selections made:
Permanent Organization, Bassell; Gre
dentials, Daley; Resolutions, Mollahan; /;
To notify Nominees, Harlow. The dele
cation was addressed by Judge Turpie,
OF Indiana, in behalf OF Gray for Vice
President. He said it was absurd to
think OF Thurman carrying Ohio. II
was us hopelessly Republican as Hi
nois. He spoke well but the West Vir-
ginia delegation will probably cast its
solid vote for Thurman.

Loses Four Hundred Dollars by Placing Her
Trust In Fortune Teller.
Special Dtspdtch to The IRteLliOeneer.
PARKERsBuRG, w. Va, June 4,-Sev.
eral months ago an old lady OF this city
named Mrs. Ulrlch received large sum
of money as back pension, and with a
portion of it she erected a comfortable
dwelling house on Sixth street, East
End. A week or two ago some of the
money which she had saved disappeared
and she thought it had been stolen.
Whereupon she went to an old Gypsy
fortune teller on Green street to find out
who had taken the money. The Gypsy
showed her chart Of the planets and
and told her to put 30 much money on
each of the planets, amounting in afi to
nearly four hundred dollars, and leave
it there three days and she would find
the thief forher. To insure Mrs. Ulrich
that the money would be safe the Gypsy
let her take her little daughter, seven or
eight years old, home with her to keep
until the end OF the three days. Mrs.
Ulrich did so. That night the Gypsy
and her husband skipped out OF town,
taking with them Nirs. Ulrich's money
and leaving with Mrs. Ulrich their own
little girl. That was three or four days
ago. Since then nothing has been heard
OF the old fortune teller, and Mrs. Ulrich
is nearly distracted over the loss OF her
money, and is more perplexed to know
what to do with the little dark-skinned
Gypsy which is left in her charge.
Inquiry at the place where the for
tuDe.telleF boarded reveals the fact that
she always mistreated the little girl and
did not seem to like her. 1t was a
shrewd plan to get rid Of her and make
pile OF money at the same time, Mrs.
Ulrich doesn't want anything more to do
with fortune.tellers.

Boston.
BosroS, June 4.-The past week has
witnessed serious disturbance in the
affairs otthe Second Presbyterian church
here.
The Rev. Theodore Bcasley has been
supplying the pulpit for year. At
parish meeting Saturday night it was
voted not to employ him any longer.
The parish clerk so notified him, and
also informed him that the church
would be closed Sunday.
Mr.. Beasley announced that he would
preach in the building despite the notice,
and the parish committee had new locks
put on the doors and policeman was
stationed to prevent any one from enter
ing. Yesterday morning the janitor
attempted to put n key in the lock. The
policeman warned him to desist, where
upon he threw the policeman over the
fence.
By this time a crowd of several hum
dred people had gathered, and Mayor
'ritcomb ordered them to disperse. The
Rev. Mr.. Beasley having put in an ap-
pearance, assembled the steps and offer
ed prayer. He then made a few re-
marks and the gathering dispersed.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June A thin.
poorly clad woman with struggling light
brown hair, staring blue eyes and face
from which the hard lines OF suffering
had not erased all traces of beauty, was
found lying in lot at daylight this
morning. Her pallid face was turned
toward the rising sun, and little Joe
Boswell, twelve-year.old youngster,
who stumbled across the woman, ran
away in terror to look for a police
man. The body was take to the
morgue. Alongside the spot where il lay
were bottle OF whisky, small chip

and spoon. She had evidently com
mitted suicide. Colley LaiFerty, young
man who lives in the neighborhood,
looked at the woman's face In the NOR

that she stopped at his house and said
she was looking for work. She turned
wearily away when she was told that
they had no employment for her, and
continued her journey. After she had
left, roughly dressed, middlesaged man
stopped at the house and said he was
starving. He offered to work in pay

with some food. He ate ravenousiy and
then walked down the road, where he
was met by the woman. They disap-
peared together. Nothing has been seen
