found q fracture of the frontal bone
about one and one-half inch in length
where it joins the left psrietal and there
l. also longitudinal fracture along the
suture of the left psri tai extending
about three inches, either OF which would
cause death. He also discovered blue
finger marks on the throat which plainly
showed the victim had also been
strangled. DIR. Whiteley was of the
opinion that the bludgeon presented in

bridge was the instrument OF death.

PIrTsBURa, Aug. 2S.-As . result oil
the conference of anti elamRter Repub-
l:oaui at Altoona the state Organization
OF Republicans will be launched in few
| days. II is already effected and George
d. Aapes will be the Rtste chairman. The
Altoona conference did not adjourn until
late this morning.
No authoritative statement OF the plans
OF those present was given out because 1t
was not deemed wise TO let the opposition
know too much Of the plan Of campaign.
This much can be stated on authority,
however: Senator Emery submitted to
the meeting the proofs of his charges
against Delamater. De said he had not
sought to invent or even to discover I'M
fitness in Senator Delamater. The first
evidence of it had been thrust before
him when the latter was q cAndi-
date for the nomination. He had
investigated these charges and had
thereupon felt it his duty as Republi-
can TO do all in his power to keep such a
man off the Republican ticket. He had
given frank warning and it had been dis
regarded. Senator Delamater had been
thrust upon the ticket, he said, by
methods compared with which those
which had provoked the revolt In 1882
were purs politics. The responsibility
for the result must rest with those who
had refused to even consider the evidence
which he had publicly challenged them
to bring before the public.
1t Is said that Senator Lee, who was
present OF the conference last night, is
one Of the lawyers to whom Senator
Emery submitted his evidences before
making his celebrated speech at Brad
ford, and who told him that with such
aiidayits he had notd;ng to fear from
prosecution for SANDER or libel. Senator
Lee hasnever been anything but straight
out Republican. Although he, with Wolfe
and Mapes, assisted in the conviction of
KEN. lie and others for aribing members
OF the legislative in coEnsction with the
Riot bill, he did not go in the Wolfe
movement in 1881, nor support Stewart
in 1882. His open adherence TO the anti
Delamater cause means thousands of
votes. Apart from the discussion of
Senator Emery's evidence, which he will
shortly make public in o speech, the time
of the conference was taken up with
an Interchange OF information as to the
sentiment in the various sections Of the
state represented, together with certain
letters which Mr.. Mapes Il Il eceived
from prominent Republicans, who said
they would join In an anti DeInmRter
movement and give their reasons when
the campaign is once fairly opened.

THE SMYRNA .aOCID EMIT.
A Drunken HIHn SyIlh 81 Gun Cause
ths Hrarpsiy

the tragedy.
The accidental shooting of Lizzie
Moore, colored, at WoodlaWn Beach, on
Saturday, according to the evidence be-
fore the cofoners jury, WAS the result OF
a too free psrtaking Of liquor ON the part
of Jacob Kelly, who fired the shot.
Kelly admitted that he was very drunk,
so much under the influence of liquor
that he had 10 knowledge Of the affair.
When he took the gun to shoot at a
target his condition WAS such that he
could scarcely remain in an erect atti-
tude. In firing the fatal shot, the last Of
ak, be so far lost his equilibrium as to
send the bullet out of range with the
target and it sped away fatally penetrat-
ing Lizzie Moore's breast. The unfortu-
nate young woman was riding along the
road about 20 yards from the shooting
gallery when struck by the bullet. She
survived but few minutes. The victim
had been visiting her parents in SMYRNA
and was on her way to the steamboat
wharf to return to Philadelphia. Her
parents and friends are overooma with
grief at the sad ending to tho Young
womsn's little holiday trip. The Jury OF
inquest first returned verdict of death
from accidental causes, but this was not
accepted and second verdict named
Kelly as the slayer and the daath an acci-
dent
At the direction OF Attorney-genera
Biggs, Kelly was held for court, and
Arthur E. Penny, residing outside the
State, was held in $1,000 bail as wit
ness, Joseph Campbell becoming his
surety. The remains of the unfortunate
woman were inferred yesterday.
