LOUISVILLE, Sept. 24.-Near Quincy,
100 miles east of Cincinnati, Thomas
Carr, a farmer. killed his wife, her
sister and himself. They lived with
his wlfe's parents, James Evans and
wife. The latter received several cuts,
one of which is three inches long and
laid bare the brain. She was able to
testify at the coroners inquest. how
ever, and told the story of the killing.
She said the trouble arose from jealousy
on the part of Carr. Carr had quarreled
with his wife all last night. This
morning he went out to cut some corn
and his wife followed him to gather
beans. When Mrs. Carr returned
she said her husband was GO
ing away. A few moments later
Carr came up with the knife and at
tackled them. He first struck Mrs. Ev-
ans on the head, telling her to the
ground, and hacked her once or twice,
cutting off her ear. His wife screamed
and attempted to interfere. He struck
her across the back of the neck, almost
cutting off her head. He struck her
several blows after she had fallen.
Then seeing Mrs. Rossberon, a sister,
fleeing toward neighbours, he ran and
killed her. Carr then cut his own throat.
Mrs. Carr was only seventeen years old.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept. 24.-Just
before IL o'clock last night a panic oc-
cured in the harmony Baptist church
(colored), during which one woman was
killed, three others received fatal injur-
les and about twenty people were seri-
ously crushed and bruised. The church
stands near the outskirts of the city,
and an all-night revival meeting was
being held there. Suddenly the gas
lights began to flicker badly, owing to
some defect in the pipes. The audience
was made up of nearly 500 negroes, all
under more or less religious excitement,
and the wierd flicker of the lights
at once appealed to the superstition
of the worshipers as supernatural
visitation. A deacon arose to leave and
the whole audience then arose to their
feet. The lights then went out entirely.
One frenzied worshiper shouted ''Judg-
ment, Judgment" at which the crowd
became wild with fear.
A grand rush was made for the mar
row doors. Men. women and children
were packed together like sardines in a
small entry. The stronger ones tram
pied on the weak, and rushed out over
their PROSTATE bodies. Many ju;nped

city at 10 O'Clock to-day, and at its close
of this convention Nebraska will pre-

parallel in any other state of the Union.
Three great political parties will con-

and so nearly equal is their numerical
strength thatho one can predict with
any certainty to which the victory will
fall. OF the 214,000 votes cast in the

SHOULD BE TIED UP.
Iowa Republicans Put I'm a Hole
by Candidate.

DIES MONIES, To-, Sept. PA short
time ago the Republican state central
committee pulled Van Houten. the can
didate for lieutenant governor, off the
stump and sent him home to his Taylor
county farm. 1t was wise thing to do,
but driven to recklessness by the Demo-
cratic press for having candidates who
cannot be trusted to discuss the issues,
the committee has undone its action and
turned Van Houten loose again. He had
not been at large many days before the
committee wished 1T had him Gagged.
Over at Winterset the other day he
spoke to a small audience, but his
words will be taken up and repeated
from one end of the state to the other.
In speaking on the prohibition question,
he said
"Thfs year the Republican party is
after the saloonkeepers. Next year we
will get after the druggists and boot
leggers.n
Now that happens to be the Republic
an plan of campaign, but it IS just what
Chairman Mack did not want told pub
licly. More than all else he has been
working for the votes of these two ele-
ments. The official announcement that
these two classes will be given respite
only until next year will spoil all of
Chairman Mack's carefully prepared
plans, and cause the last hope of success
to depart from him.

ing election. The Democrats and indie
pendentS have already nominated their
state tickets, and the Republicans to-
day completed the list of candidates to
be presented to the Nebraska voters.
The convention was called to order
promptly at 10 o'clock by Chairman
Watson, of the state central committee,
who made brief speech, in the course
of which he said: 'If the signs are
ton at Omaha cheerS in 1892 will nOmi-
nate the next president of the United
States, and that man will be the giori-
Gus captain of the gallant ship of state,
the skillful navigator, the fearless
leader, the bright, the brilliant, the
matchless Blaine" At the mention of
the name of Blaine, secret cord from
the rear was touched and the portrait of
the great exponent of reciprocity
dropped into sight. The effect was
magical. Five hundred delegates in
stantly sprang to their feet and cheer
after cheer resounded through the hall
for the secretary of state.
The platform renews allegiance to the
principles of the republican party, con-
graduates President Harrison on his
'wise and courageous administration,
approves Blaine's administration of the
state department; cOmmendS the pres
ent silver coinage act; favors the main
tenance of protection as eXempli6ed in
the Mckinley tariff law, and continues:
We are heartily in favor of the general
provisions of the interstate commerce
act, and we demand the regulation of
all railway and transportation lines in
such manner as to insure fair and
reasonable rates to the producers
and consumers of the country.
We favor such legislation as will
prevent all illegal combinations
and unjust exactions by aggre-
gated capital and cooperative powers.
We insist upon the suppression of all
trusts, combines and schemes designed
to artlficially increase the price of the
necessities of life. The balance of the
platform is a denunciation OF Demo
cratic doctrine. A resolution was
adopted favoring Omaha as the place
for holding the next national conven-
ton.
For associate justice of the supreme
court A. Nj. Post, of Columbus, was
nominated ON the fourth ballot. For
regents of the state university Senator
II. L. Subway, of Dawson county, and
Charles Maple, of Douglas county, were
nominated on the first ballot, and the
convention adjourned sine die.

The Outlook Is HeaIthfuI.

Special to the Globe.
MITCHELL, S. d., Sept. "a. The pres
ent crops have caused the filing of a
larger number of contests during tho
past two months than have been filed
during the previous ten months at the
la nd Office In this city and officers Of
other land offices report similar condi-
ton of affairs. Farmers have been able
to secure money with which to do con-
testing and they are securing cheap
land in this way, as the cost OF contest
ing In most cases is slight. The dry
seasons Of the past few years have
caused many tImber-culture entrymen
10 neglect their claims so that contest
can be brought against them. Many
timber-culture entries are also being re-
linquished and homestead entries filed
on the land. This indicates that bona
6de settlers are coming in.
