Tie Democratic Convention,

The report 81 the Democratic Stale III

especially the resolutions passed hy that
august body, furnish very interesting

THE TRAIN ROBBERY.
Story Of the Arkansas 0utlawry Told by
One Mans Wife,

TExARKANA, Ark, June 23-Excitement
concerning the Cotton Belt train robbery
On the night Of the 14th inst, was almost
rs high today as on the night
succeeding the arrest Of the alleged
robbers. On Friday night the wound
ed man, Ratcliffe, arrested as one of the
guilty parties died and last night 1t was
reported his widow had made a written
confession fully duplicating all the parties
accused now in Jail, and perhaps others,
and that she would be the first state wit
ness placed on the stand at the resumption
Of the preliminary hearing.
In his dying moments Ratcliffe said it
was too late for him to talk, but that his
wife would make a statement for him.
She is woman of more than ordinary in
telligence for one of her class The poor
woman had besOught her husband to avoid
the company that brought him TO his ruin,
and when he came home wounded she felt
sure that retribution had visited him.
Her statement as taken down before a
notary covers fifteen pages, and clears up
many of the mysteries that surrounded
the robbery. She states that the persons
now in jail-Detective Williams, Napoleon
Mcdaniel and John Browly-with her hus-
band committed the robbery; that Nc
Daniel went through the express
car while Browley and Williams
stood guard; that Radcliffe did the
hnOOJlnB WHICH ulStDIeu Jne eA press agent
with Williams Winchester: that Nc
Daniel shot Ratcliffe through mistake,
EuppOsing in the darkness that the train
men had armed themselves and determined
to resist The woman did not in any way
cOuntenance or encourage the robbery, but
was forced to silence when the plans were
being made.
The prisoners were all taken to Bonham
this afternoon for safe keeping, Sheriff Ed
wards and IDENTITIES Parker and Iawler
guarding them. The prisoners show the
effects of the great strain and went tremb-
ling from the Jail to the train followed by
300 to 400 people

CAPT 3. r. TIrLMAN.

In that wear the occasion arose which az
forded the opportunity for the develop
ment Of those latent abilities which have
since caused him to be regarded at the
south as the most upique-if not remarka-
ble-political figure of the decade. Till
man has been farmer and a compare
lively successful one all his life, and when,
in 1888, he concluded that the agricultural
department of the state was useless as
then conducted he did not hesitate to say
60 He spoke against the department,
wrote against it and worked against it.
In this, his first crusade, he succeeded in
bringing about q reorganization of the de-
partment, and at the same time attracting
attention to himself as a man of ability.
Every one then recognized that this farmer
could exercise powerful influence when
ever heohose to exert it. Many thought
that he wanted Office and would soon show
his hand, bat they were mistaken TILL
man subsided after the attainment OF his
point in the agricultural department
matter, and was not heard from again un-
til two years later, in 1888, when he inau-
gurated q crusads in favor of an agricul-
tural college, the funds and site for the
founding of which had been left to the
state by Mr.. Clemson, who had inherited
the old Calhoun, homestead Fort HID
from his wife, who was a daughter of
South Carolina's statesman.
Mr.. Tillman worked unremittingly for
the Clemson college, and with such good
effect that the appropriation was made
by the last legislature, and the build
ings will soon be erected. The plans
are nearly completed already. Tillman
again remained comparatively quiet until
March 81 Of the present year, when reg
ular state convention of farmers was held
at Columbia. Representation in this con-
vention was the same as in the regular gath
erings of the Democratic party. Tillman
was unanimously named as proper can
date to be selected for,governor by the Dem
ocratic state convention, which will be held
Sept. 10. The farmers convention also
pledged itself to abide by the choice of the
September convention, and to work for its
nominee, whoever he may be.
Ben Tillman is not man of imposing
appearance. He is 5 feet 10 inches in
height and weighs 165 pounds. Oneshoulder
droops somewhat and he has only one eye.
He is very impressive speaker, has
clear, ringing, light baritone voice, which
he knows how to use; he has never held a
political Office, is 45 years old, and no word
has ever been brcathed against his personal
character. He is married, has several chill
dren and lives on his own farm, a few
miles back from the little railway station
Of Ropers, Edgefeid county.

personal appearance plain, without any
of the tricks of the trained orator, and pos

be the most generally discussed man in the
state. 1t can also be truthfully said of him
that he has more warm friends and bitter
enemies than any one in the south Allan
tic section. "Ben" Tillman stands fair
chance of being the next governor of South
Carolina, and if he should win his success
will all have been due to his own exertions
within the last few years, for until 1886 he
had never made a speech and did not know
that he possessed the power TO organize a
party.

Various Applications of Paper.

Various new applications of paper are
being made by German manufacturers. A
pulley of hydraulic pressed pasteboard,
with an iron core and strong casing, is said
to have greater. friction than one of iron,
making it possible to use smaller pulleys,
and to save vibration by reducing the
tension of belts This pulley is made from
