PORTLAND, July 11th.-A special from
Tacoma says the suit of the State of Wash

officials OF State in the deal, who were in a
position to see that the scheme worked all
right when the cases came before the Land
Otfioe. The property, it is said, shows
signs of having been salted

The outer end of the bridge went do wn

each other shrieking for help and scrab o.

TO BEAT MCKINLEY.
Ohio Democrats Having a Hard Time to
Find Such a Man.


COLUMBUS (O.), July 11th.-There was
supposition that when the Democratic
Congressional Convention for the Eigh-
teenth District, now in session at Orrville,
adjourned last night matters would be har-
monized and nomination made during
the early balloting this morning This
was not the case, and the Convention is
having great difficulty in settling upon
man to put against Mckinley.
The first ballot this morning (the thirty
eighth) stood: Monot, 52t; StillwelI. 46l;
Warwick, "a; Zimmerman, fl; Lewis, Z:
Wel,y, Z; Sherrick, T. On the forty-sev-
enth ballot Warwick took the lead, having
fifty seven votes, but an attempted stam-
pede to him failed to carry, and the vote
fell back.
A motion to adjourn until September Sd
failed to secure second and called forth
cries of mo-" showing determination to
hang together until the contest is ended.
Monot and Warwick were close together
on the fifty-fourth ballot, the former still
holding his 80! and the latter having pulled
up TO 90
THEY GET ONE FINALLY.
John G. Warwick was nominated on the

Vancouver.
VANCOUVER Wash. }, July 11th.-Edward
d. Gallagher, the murderer of Louis Mar,
was hanged this afternoon, in the presence
OF hundred people, at 1850.
Sheriff Fleming assisted by his deputies,
marched him out of his cell to the gallows.
He walked steadily, but resisted going up.
Arriving up stairs he sat down, and Rev.
Father Schram tried to get him to make
his peace with the world Gallagher said
he was not going to be hanged and didn't
care about eternity.
The Sheriff told him he could say few
words to the assembled multitude. He
made short, stammering speech, saying
he was sorry to appear before them in that
position.
An awful struggle then ensued, six men
trying to pinion his form. Gallagher re-
sisted strenuously, but after three minutes
was securely fastened and feet tied. The
Sheriff put on the cap and asked the con.
demned man whether he killed Mar.
Gallagher's last words in answer were
None of your business"
The trap was then sprung, the doomed
man falling seven feet. After eleven min
utes life was extinct.

The papers in the case have reached the
