which have led TO the low prices of beef to
tho producers, without any corresponding

Such a convention having been called, the
citizens of Fort Worth extend u cordial in
vitation to the governors of the different
states and territories, the representative
stock men and all others interested in the
stock interest, asking that the governors of
such states or territories appoint at least

pate In the deliberations of this interstate

gent discussion may be had, and a conserva-
tive action may be had in the premises,
leading to a solution of the difficulties which
have for the last few years confronted the

This question is of vital Importance to the
farmers as we'll AS to the cattle men and a
full attendance is hoped for, especially from
the northwest cattle feeding states.

A Murder Case of Mysterious Character

Combination at Youngstown.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArcH.I
PARKERsBURG, August 16.-The trial OF
Mrs. Mary Morgan for the murder Of her
husband. Jacob Morgan. is now in prog
ress at Miidlebourne, Tyler county. The
little town is filled with people and big
crowd of dangerous roughs from Brush
Creek, where the murder was committed.
Jacob Morgan was an old soldier and PEN
sioner and very popular. He was brutally
murdered in May, 1888, under circumstances
which threw suspicious on his wife, who was
under social ban for alleged indiscretion-
Morgan had received a big pension a few
days before he was killed, and on that evening
when the alarm was given, the neIghbors found
him in his home in kneellng position with an
arm on the bed supporting the body. His
throat was cut from ear to ear. there was q
bullet hole through the body and great gashes
in the side, severing the ribs.
Mrs. Morgan's tale was that three men had
entered their home, and that one shot him and
another cut his throat Her story was not be-
lieved as blood clots were found at the door,
showing that he had been killed outside the
house. Detectives went to work, but were
surrounded In Lne mousse one nlSHb anu udu d
battle with unknown men. They left the
country but returned quietly and worked up
the case gainst the woman.
States witnesses so tar IN the trial have
testified to many incriminatlng statements
and admi ssions made by the woman before and
after the murder. AS the trial progresses a
strong chain of circumstantial evidence Is be-
ing wound about the woman. 1t is believed
that bef ore the trial is over the names of her
accomplices will come to light. The trial is
being hardly fought on both sides. To several
of the witnesses the woman said she had
dream ed that Morgan would be murder ed for
his money, to another thar he would be killed
in a week. and to another that she would soon
draw the pension

THR0TTLING THE BLACKS.
MISSISSIPPI STATESMEN SWEATING OVER
PLANS TO DO 1T,

Senator Leland IL Afraid the Australian
System Will Results in Starting Schools
for The Negroes-The Dark Districts Hot
for White Rule.
JACKSON, MISS, August 16.-Such Of
the Constitutional Convention committees
as had business before them have been in
session all day, and those having no busi-
ness to dispose of have discussed the all-ab-
sorbing suffrage question and the dispo-
sition the convention is likely to make
of it. A large number of the delegates
from the Eastern or white portion OF the
State, it develops, are little concerned over
the suffrage question. This section is so
largely white that it has never felt the
danger of negro supremacy that so con-
stantly menaces the western or black por-
ton.
Senator Leland, prominent delegate,
said to your correspondent to-day that he
very much doubted the practicability of the
Australian system, and he doubted the con-
ventions adopting it; that it would en-
courage the establishment OF negro
schools all over the country, organized
just for the purpose of teaching the negroes
enough to enable them to vote. A promi-
nent delegate from the heavy negro section
said that no change in the ballot laws would
be accepted by his section that did not in
sure white supremacy for all time to come.
Both the plans OF Senator George and
Prof. Maines propose to cut down the rep
resentation of the black counties and give it
to the white counties, thus securing the
Legislature to the whites and permitting it
or some State body so constituted to elect
the State officers. Neither of these plans
propose any regulation whatever for suffrage,
but leave the laws as they now are.
The Elective Franchise Committee has
been in session all day with closed doors,
and members of it are put under secrecy to
say nothing about anything that transpires
In the committee. The delegates all seem TO
realize that, while the attention of the whole
country is drawn to this convention, the
South is particularly interested, and if any
thing which carries in it worthy features of
improvement is adopted, the Mississippi
Constitutional Convention will be followed
by like demonstrations all over the South.

" INDsoR, ONT, August 16.-THE Dis
PATCH correspondent visited John G. Brosi
alias John c. Mullen to-day, and was cor
daily received. He was perfectly willing
and anxious to talk on outside matters, but
when the matter of extradition was
suggested he frankly said: ST am
instructed by my lawyers not to
say word. would like to oblige you, but
under the circumstances can't. However,
anything my lawyers wish to give you you
are perfectly free to make use of. " He
cannot be quizzed in the least and will
eVade every question. He remains clothed
as ordinarily, and his meals are brought to
him from a neighboring hotel, while
barber is admitted every other day to
shave him.
Yesterday Inspector Mckinley, who is
warm, personal friend of the prisoner, asked
him to go back, but he refused, and the In
spector then swore out a warrant under the
extradition treaty of this year.
IHE DISPATCH correspondent next in
terviewed Messrs. Hanna & Cowau, the
prisoners attorneys. This firm Is comprised
of two of the best lawyers in the province.
The senior member. Judge Hanna, is noted
criminal lawyer, while the junior member,
Mr.. Cowan, is a noted politician.
The senior member gave the fol-
lowing information The defense
claims that authority was given
to discount any Of these notes and that there
was no forging in the matter. They will
fight the matter to the bitter end in behalf
of their client, and if Magistrate Bartlett gives
decision against them they have II days
in which to carry the matter to the high
Court of Justice of Ontario, which
they will do. The amount the bank
in question is pressing is note for 1886,
although the notes they have to deal with
amount to s., 500 and the total alleged
forgeries to S. 900. The firm feel confident
that they will pull the prisoner through, as
the defense will have a pretty hard thing to
prove forgery under the circumstances.

HANGED THE WRONG MAN.

The Real Perpetrator of an English Murder
Believed 10 be In America.
tBY pUNLAP's CABLE CoMPANY.l
LONDON, August 16.-Much .unsatis6ed
curiosity has been excited here by the de-
velopments in the case of the murder of the
man Babbington, gamekeeper in the en-
ploy of Lord Tollemache. and for which q
poacher named Blagg was hanged on the
ground that his boots fitted into certain
footprints made by the assassin. As a man
in New Orleans has now con fessed that he
is the murderer and borrowed the boots
worn by Blagg, Dunlap reporter called on
the lattef's widow with regard to the cir
cumstances.
Mrs. Blagg declares that she distinctly
remembers a man named James Jones COM
ing to the house on henight of the murder,
borrowed her husbands boots and leaving
his own clogs in their place. This would
seem to indicate that there is some founda-
tion for the story that comes from across the
Atlantic. Should the facts be still further
authenticated it is stated that they will be
laid before the Home Secretary. He will be
asked to pension the widow, as she now re-
ceives aid from the parish.

When the Judge asked the correspondent
why he appeared in court to testify to the

he was Christian man and was there to tell
the truth. The plaintiffs counsel said the

his conscience troubled him. He therefore
desired to make what amends he could and

Some Friends Issue q Circular In Behalf OF
the Dynamiter.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
NEW YORK, August 16.-The Rossa Tes-
timonial Committee has sent out circular
'to the Irish race everywhere" calling for
contributions for the benefit of O'Donovan
Rosa. The circular says:
To-day there lives among us Jeremiah
O'Donovan Rosa. an Irishman who has de-
voted his whole life to the cause of his country,
and who has been an unwilling exile from his
country for 20 years. Republics are proverb-
tally ungratefuL Shall we have it said that
nations aspiring to the dignity of republics are
equally ungrateful? No. We propose to raise
a fund sufficient to put O'Donovan Rosa be-
yond the pale of want, and place him in the
easy position which he would readily have
attained had he forgotten that his coun-
try was oppressed, and devoted his time
and talents to the selfish accumulation of
sordid wealth. Rossa's term of enforced exile
will expire on the first day of January, 1891.
His heart yearns to bless his eyes with sight
of his native land once more. Shall we enable
him to go back in such position as will en-
courage the youth of Ireland to walk in the
patriots path? We say yes. And we want
every Irishman to come forward and help us
to do so. We do not ask any man to surren-
der his opinion as to the best means to free Ire
land or to fndorse O'Donovan Rossa's methods.
We only ask you to contribute to enable man
to revisit his birthplace who has been forcibly
expelled from the land Of his fathers.
