A Poverty.stricken Millionaire

This seems paradox, but it is ex-
planned by one of New York's richest
men. 81 don't count my wealth in
dollars" he said. "What are all my
possessions to me, since l am victim
of consumption My doctor tells me
that l have but few months to live,
for the disease is incurable. / am poor
er than that beggar yonder." But"
interrupted the friend to whom he spoke,
consumption can be cured. If taken
in time, DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery will eradicate every vestige
of the disease from your system" "I'll
try it." said the millionaire, and he did;
and to-day there is not a healthier,
happier man to be found anywhere.
The Discovery" strikes at the seat Of
the complaint. Consumption is q dis
ease of the blood-is nothing more nor
less than lung scrofula-and it must
and does yield to this wonderful remedy.
"Golden Medical Discovery is not
only an acknowledged remedy for that
terribly fatal malady, when taken in
time and given a fair trial, but also for
all forms of Scrofulous, Skin and Scalp
Diseases, as White Swellings, Fever
sores, Hip joint Disease, Salt rheum,
letter, Eczema, Boils, Carbuncles, Ery.

Hisses-Fights in the Streets.
KILKENNY, Oct. q. = When William
O'Brien arrived her yesterday to attend
the county convention, he was met at the
railway stain by great crowd of people,
who, upon seeing him emerge from the
waiting room, greeted him with mingled
cheers and Kisses. A strong police escort
was drawn up in front Of the station, and
as soon as O'Brien had taken his place in
the carriage which she committee had
provided for his use the officers formed
in a square about it and the progress to
the town hall began. As policemen and
carriage moved slowly along the enthusi-
astic cheers OF O'Brien's admirers were
met and sometimes drowned by the ugly
hissings and derisive jeers of the Parnell-
ties in the crowd.
Loud Cries of Murderer"
Presently the sinister cry of murderer"
was heard, and until the arrival of the
procession at its destination this epithet
fairly divided the honors of the occasion
with both applause and Kisses. Imme-
diately upon O'Brien's arrival at the
town hall the convention organized by
electing that gentleman as its presiding
officer. Routine business was promptly
despatched, and then Michael Davitt was
selected to contest the seat for North Kill
kenny. made vacant by the death Of Sir
John Pope Hennessy.
Amusements in the Street.
While the convention was in session
numerous rows were taking place between
the dictionaries, and the streets were filled
with fighting mobs. So savage were some
of the attacks made by the partisans upon
their opponents that the police were re-
peatedly compelled to separate the fight
ing men in order toprevent outright muir
der In one or two instances the officers
found it necessary to charge the crowds

State Convention. which will meet here to-
morrow. will take the usual step Of pledging
the Democratic party 10 the election Of the
Hon. Arthur 2. German 10 the United States
Senate. So far as is known. this has never
been formally done by the Democratic party
anywhere except in the case OF Senator
Palmer, Of Illinois. II would not have been
done in Maryland at the present time except
for the fact Of an effort having been made TO
interpret the results Of the primaries in
several counties as set back to Mr.. Cor
man.
The corridors Of tho Carrollton Hotel were
thronged with Democrats Of influence this
evening and the nomination Of state ticket
was the general topic Of conversation .,
The gubernatorial nomination u looked
upon 80 settled There seems 20 be no doubt
entertained by anybody that eK-Postmaster
Frank Brown will be the standard-beaT
The only question now discussed IN regard to
the nomination is whether il will be by ballot
or by acclamaton.
There seems to be no doubt that the con-
Yention will declare for free coinage.
