THE NEXT GOVERNOR,
A Pleasant Social Event at the Capital OF
Ohio.

A Pleasant Social Event at the Capital of
Ohio.
COLUMBUS, o.. June 23.-It is said that at
the dinner table on tho evening that Major
Mckinley was nominated by the republi-
cans, Mrs. Gov. Campbell, with a merry
twinkle of her eye, addressed her honored
lord thusly; Jimmy. it would greatly
please me to ride out this evening with the
next governor of Ohio.'' A puzzled look
spread over the face of the master of the
executive mansion, and in a half hesitating
way the governor replied: "Well, dear,
your request Is rather ambiguous. You
know / may not be-but | have the idea
now. III hid Will you to the Neil house,
where you can get Major Mckinley. Be
tween the two you can not miss riding with
Ohio's next GOVERNOR
The scene changes to the crowded street
in front of the Neil. Mrs. Campbell is
sitting composedly III the elegant family
carriage, refreshing herself with a hand
some large black feather fan. She is at
tractively dressed in IA thin, dark dress. re
lieved by a light-colored bonnet. Of course
she is admired by passers-by, and the
climax IS reached a moment later when
Gov. Campbell appears with Maj. Mckinley
leaning on his arm. Maj. Mckinley bows
very gracefully to tho first lady of the
state, and shakes her hand heartily. Then
he takes his seat by the governors wife,
and as the colored coachman is turning the
lovely span of seal browns the governor is
heard to remark to his wife, who is seated
by the major: ut shows how much conf
dence have in Maj. Mckinley to let you
take him riding"
The distinguished chaperon and her guest
drive north amid a ripple of applause from
the admiring populace. The governor
drops out of sight in the surging crowd, and
the curtain drops on one of the most pleas
ing events of the convention.

The stock market to-day differed in no essen-

there was a weak opening, continuing the effect
of gold shipments and other depressing infu-
ences of yesterday, there was no severe pressure
to fill any part of the list, and after early selling
orders were executed the market displayed a
rallying tendency. In final dealings prices gem

CoRsIcANA. NAVARRO COUNTY. Tx.
Sept. 2O.-After the close OF the BaptS
service at Cooks Schoolhuuse. seven mile,
southwest of this place, to-day qua,.re
ensued between Aaron and Chester Kelley
on one side and Alex Brecland and Frank
Ross on the other. which may result fatal,
To Aaron Kelley and Ross The difficult,
was caused by Il letter written by Brecianc
TO Miss Matte Kelley, 10 wh,f
her brothers took exceptions. Aaron KELLEY
spoke to E'reciaHd after services abuJr
the letter, and gave as his opinion that NJ
gentleman would have written such Il letter
and he considered ii an insult to his sister.
Breeland resented the insinuation that he
was not 4 gentleman. when Kelly suggested
that they 90 to ravine near by and settle
the matter.
While Kelley and Breeland were quarrel.
ing Chester Kelley and Ross had some
words which resulted, Ross says. in Ches-
ter striking him witt club, when Ross
pulled his pistol, a 4l-caliber Colts anC
fired.
Aaron Kelley ran between them to save
his brother, and the bullet struck him side
ways about an inch above the heart, lodging
in the lung.
Chester. seeing his brother fall, pro-
ceeded to beat Ross over the head, infictiug
two terrible scalp wounds, which knocked
him down.
Chester then proceeded to carve Ross
with knife. Ross was very badly cut, the
most serious wound being IN the shoulder
and in the back just below the right
shoulder near the backbone; also below
the left shoulder. The latter penetrated
the lung cavity.
Breeland. in trying to assist Ross, re
ceived slight wound from kelieyS knife
He started TO run, when Chester grabbed
Ross pistol and ran after him with ii,
shooting as he ran, but did not touch him
The two wounded men We're taken 10
their respective homes and physicians
called in to attend them.
Deputy Sheriff Cowen arrested Chester
Kelley and Breeland and placed them in
J2il here this evening.
John II. Garrett and section man at
Angus had difficulty last night in which
the section man was badly cut about the
head and face, and was to-day sent to the
hospital at Houston. The section
man claimed that Garrett was
drunk and attacked him without
cause. The section foreman says the trOJi-
bic was brought about by u report that had
been circulated by the section man to the
effect that a brother of Garrett had been
stealing corn. Garrett was arrested ana
lodged in Jail here to-day.

City, if it can be avoided, as every blue coat
in the Territory is needed at
the front, but if he receives
another call he will send sufficient
force to protect the land Office.
Couriers from the Langston City negro
colony came in this morning and purchased
twenty carbines and hastened back. They
report that the entire town is covered With
tents of immigrants and that they
are determined TO protect themselves from
the attempt on the part of the whites 10
keep them from the lands in the Cimarron
valley. a squad of negroes visited the
cawboys camp last night and declared their
intentions. They said that they would
make a race for the lands and if
they got there first they would
defend their rights with their lives.
If the cowboys do not imbbe too much of
the whisky that is being sent out there by
the wagonload, there will probably be no
trouble. but on the other hand. if they
grow reckless under the influence of
liquor, bloodshed is certain.
