A Peculiar Trial for Wealth
er and Crops. Indians i'm the
Two States.

Sioux FALLS S. D., May 1o.-W. Il.
Enos, of Gary, is OIL trial here, charged
with setting fire to his hardware store
! November 4 last. The case is peculiar
It appears that on Sunday evening,
Novemhe 4, 1890, the cry OF fire was
sounded in the little town of Gary, up
in the Coteau hills Of South Dakota,
and in looking for the cause of tho
alarm the people discovered Enos' store
to be on fire. The store door was bro
ken open and Enos was found lying on
the floor, his feet tied with q
rope. lie was insensible. He
was taken TO his home, where
his wife cared for him, and in few
days he was able to realize what occur
red. Before the fire he was strong and
had nerves Of iron. After the fire he
WAS the reverse.
His story OF how tho fire occurred Is
the strange part of the event Enos
declares that he accompanied his wife
TO the church on the evening OF the fire,
and while wiping the snow oil his feet
on the mat 4 stranger stepped up and
asked him il he would go TO his store
and get several machine castings. lie
was in a hurry, as he wanted to start up
thrashing machine in the morning
Enos asserts that the day previons, on
Saturday, he received from Duluth (he
now says Chicago) SO, 500, lie declares
that as the o'clock passenger train
came into Gary he met messenger
by tho name of Cunningham, who
gave him small package containing
So, 500. This he put in his large pocket
book, When he left tho church with
the stranger who wanted machine
casting he went direct to the store,
opened 1t, and had no more than got in
side than he was seized by the stranger
and another, bound and his money
taken from him. Then they hit him
on the head with a sharp instrument
and that is all he remembers.
The suit brought and being tried here
is to recover tho 81, 500 insurance held
by the ST. Paul Fire and Marine and
Springfield Insurance companies. These
companies declare that Enos' story is
all bugaboo, that no stranger ever
called for him, and that he set the fire
himself. Enos refuses to divulge who
sent him the SO, 500. No one knows
Cunningham. Enos claims that he
never saw him before nor has he since.

ATHIRD PARTY BORN
It Is Named the Peoples Party Of
the United States.
A Platform Adopted and National
Committee Named An En-
thusiastic Convention.

CINCINNATI, May 2l.-The third polit
ical party was born here yesterday amid
the widest enthusiasm. From early in
the morning, when the great gathering
eagerly voted for the formation Of a
national executive committee, the result
was foregone and all doubt was removed
late in the afternoon when Chairman
Ignatius Donnelly, OF the committee on
resolutions, announced that the COM
mittee was unit for starting third
party without an instant's delay and
continued earnestly: ''We think
we have performed a work that
will affect the politics OF this country
for the next fifty years" That was
enough, and the audience let forth a
burst Of applause which nearly wrecked
tho ceiling, The sensational feature OF
the proceedings following this came
after the platform was adopted A
California man--G. w. Miller--a prohi-
bitionist. wanted to thrust before the
convention resolution pledglng the
new party 10 the prohibition
cause. The convention emphatlcally
did not want to submit TO any such pro-
cess, but 1t had TO. Mr.. Miller refused
to sit down; he worked his jaws without
ceasing, though every syllable he ut
tered was lost in a hurricane OF jeering
and contumoly. Miller's grit carried
the day, and the peoples party before
it was an hour old was forced to go on
record upon his resolution. 1t took re-
venge, however, by kicking the resolu-
tion into the kingdom to como with
suddenness and vigor that must have
surprised even Miller 1t is reported
that many members OF the national re-
form organization, headed by President
w. w. Jones, OF Illinois, will withdraw
from the party because Of the defeat Of
the resolution.
After some opposition the report OF
tho committee on order OF business linn
iting speeches to five minutes was
adopted. The report outlined pro-
gram for the appointment OF a national
committee. 1t was necessary to apply
the previous question before vote
could be obtained upon a report OF the
committed. 1t went through with q
rush, and when the result was an
nounced pandemonium broke loose 1T
was no accident that the new party on.
thusiasts scored heavily in the adoption
OF the report OF the committee
on rules. The Massachusetts dele
CATION, which controlled the rules
committee, fearing the platform COM
mittee's report would be adverse TO
Immediate action for the third party.
conceived the idea OF providing in the
rules for national committee, and
Delegate Brown, in explaining the
rules to the convention, gave warning
that the adoption OF the report meant
the birth of new party, his idea being
that there could be no executive com
mittee without third party. The
report was, nevertheless, adopted, and
the result is that while tho committee
on resolutions were tugging away, some
of its mbers being the brainiest oppo-
nents OF third partyism at this time,
their action, should 1T be adverse, was
practically forestalled by the adoption
OF the report OF the committee on rules.

No Odds Arc Asked.

Ngw York, May 22.--The Herald
this morning prints the entire corre-
spondence between Baron Fava and
Marquis De Rudini relative to the New
Orleans affair. The reports arc taken
from the Italian green book and show
that Secretary Blaine was firm in his
determination not to be dictated to by
Italy. In one interview Fava reports
blaine as saying: ''We have never re-
ceived odds from foreign powers and
don't propose TO begin now" In an.
other Blaine stated: 1T Is matter OF
total indifference what persons In Italy
think OF our constitutions. l cannot
change them and will not violate them."
