Lock Horns at Springfield.

LOCK horns at Spr1ngneId
SPRINGFIELD, Aug. 6. - There was
trouble in the Peoples party convention
Wednesday. The trade unionists and
the Knights of Labor got into quabble
about the selection of temporary chair
man.
James Stout, Cincinnati delegate,
said the ticket would get 1000 votes in
Hamilton county. 1t is claimed by some
of the most enthusiastic that 40 600 votes
will be polled for the Peoples party in
the state
One delegate wants temperance
plank in the platform, but another says
'It would do us inestimable injury. The
Prohibition cranks must be shut off.
We don't want any class legislation. e"
And there you are The leaders of the
new party denounce the old parties gen
orally and specifically, but they are find
ing fault with each other quite as much
as they do with the old parties. These
gentlemen are evidently natural fault
finders. They kick at everything, them
selves included.
Another source of dissension is the
dislike that some of the delegates have
for the Greenbackers, who are out in
force

Two Desperadoes Who win Not Likely

ing affray which took place at the
mouth of Flat creek, near the county
line, Monday, will probably re-
suit in the death of each of the partici-
pants. The two men, Jack Estes and
Tom Long, were at the election, and
were more or less under the influence of
liquor, when they became involved in a
dispute over some trivial matter. Words
led to blows, and each party opened fire
upon the other. Estes was shot twice
in the face and abdomen and Long was
shot in the breast. The wounds of each
are so serious that it is not thought
that either of them will recover. Both
are well known desperadoes, and Estes
has spent half of his time for the last
two or three years in Jail. This was the
only difficulty reported at any of the
elections in this section.

PARIS, Aug. Cit is now stated on
the best authority that the injury to the
German emperor's knee, which he re-
ceived by falling when ON board his
yacht, was not caused through slipping
on the wet deck as was originally an
nounced. The emperor was standing at
the head of the short run of steps lead
from the upper to the main deck and
was conversing with an officer, when he
was suddenly seized with an epileptic
fit and he fell down the steps. He was
at once picked up and carried to his
cabin and since then he has suffered Sc
verely from the bruises received at the
time.
His majesty has had several of these
fits since he left London and it is known
he had two or three while he was the
guest of the English people. The news
has caused a great deal of uneasiness.

INSANE FROM CRUELTY.
Brutal Treatment of an Heiress by Her
Stepmother.

StepmOther.
MOUNT CARMEL, Pa, Aug. 6.--Mrs.
Rose Sheshinskie has been arrested here,
and this developed a most horrible story
There has been living with her, Amelia,
a stepdaughter, young woman of
twenty-five. Amelia's father died when
she was three years of age, leaving her
a large strip of land worth many thou
sand dollars. Since then Mrs. Sheshin-
slzie and her two brothers have been
working to secure the property. They
made the girl go out and pick up coal
and beat her every night. She made
several fruitless attempts to escape.
For many months she had not been seen
till Tuesday night, when the citizens Of
the town started ont to search for her.
In foul cellar in the Polish part of
the town they found the girl. She was
locked in the house o raving maniac,
begging everyone not to kill her. The
only clothing she had on was made of
an old salt bag, and on her neck were
found several large red scars made by
the stepmother, who burned the girl in
many places with red hot poker. Evi-
dence has been secured to prove that the
woman and her brothers have tried to
poison the girl, whose property is now
said to be worth $780, Mrs. Sheskin-
skie was held in g., 900 bail.

FIFTEEN CENTS A WEEK
WORLDS EAIR NEWS.
Important Work Being Done at Homo as
Well as Abroad.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 0.-While the
worlds fair commissioners, Mr.. Butter
worth and his associates are visiting the
several capitals Of Europe and giving
their attention to the general aspects of
the undertaking, very important work
is being done in detail by the three com
missioners who directly represent the
treasury department in connection with
the admission of foreign exhibits, Gen
eral Grosvenor, Professor Ellis and Mr.
Butler.
These gentlemen are visiting the
United States ministers, consuls and
cities and towns both in Great Britain
and on the continent and familiarizing
themselves not only with the scope and
needs of the exhibition in a general way,
but particularly with the regulations
which will govern the transit, admission
and reshipment of the goods of foreign
exhibitors. They are coming directly
in contact with the officials appointed
by the various foreign governments to
represent those governments in connec-
ton with the Columbian exposition,
and i'll many cases they reach and con
fer with intending exhibitors them
selves.
In many instances they are invited to
appear before boards of trade and other
commercial bodies as representatives of
the United States government for the
purpose of explaining all the arrange
ments touching foreign exhibits, and on
those occasions they are piled with num-
berless questions which indicate interest
that is felt in the enterprise.
The report to the treasury department
that any apparent absence of interest
manifested hitherto seems to have been
due rather to lack of ilfformation than
to an indisposition to participate. They
state, among other things, that salts
factory volume of foreign exhibits
would be greatly facilitated if it were
possible to inform exhibitors before
hand of the exact cost of transportation
from the several ports of Europe to Chi
cago and return, The exposition being
located in an interior city, new ques-
tions in this respect are raised which did
not have to be met in any former in
stance
The recommendation is made that the
exposition authorities lose no time in ar
ranging uniform scale of transit
charges with the several leading trans
portation companies, 80 that intending
foreign exhibitors may know as early as
practicable just what to depend upon
and be able to estimate with reasonable
accuracy the expense which they are to
incur.
The treasury representatives are doing
much to remove apprehension which had
arisen out of hostile or ignorant com
ment from various sources,

budget statement in the house of com

which for 1891, he estimated as nearly
double that for 1890, The growth was
mainly due, he said, to the alteration in
exchange consequent on the sudden in

the revenue from opium and steady
increase in the land revenue.
