A Cowardly Murder.

3. b. Pierce and j. w. Garrett were
sitting in the formers office at Altoona
Station last night some person ap-
preached tho window and placing the
muzzle' OF gun against the pane fired
two shots, killing them both instantly.
Both men were shot in the neck and
were horribly multilated. The bodies
were not found until IL o'clock, when
the alarm was given. A large body of
citizens gathered at the scene, and a
vigorous search was made for the MUIR
derer, but it was fruitless.

A merry party of sight-seers and pleas
ure-seekers, headed by Mt. G. A. Young,
came up from Kamilchie yesterday and
spent the day in this city. They took
rooms at the Carlton House, and bestowed
a liberal patronage upon Olympia fruit
stores and the electric car system. Among
other resorts, they visited TumWater, and
took in the sights round about the falls
and the electric power house. Walking
our spacious and cleanly streets and enjoy
ing our surrounding bay and landscap pc
scenery was by no means a secondary
pleasure to them. The party returned in
the cleaning by the steamer The Doctor.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. l8.-The state
convention of the Peoples party is in
session here to-day for the purpose Of
nominating state ticket. The meeting
is an adjourned session of the convention
that met here on the 25th cf June and
nominated an electoral ticket and dele
gates to the Omaha convention. The
platform adopted at that time denounced
both the old parties as enemies Of the
people, demands free coinage of silver,
and charges the Democratic majority in
congress with violating it's pledges to the
people. After adopting this platform
fusion is out Of the question, and the four
parties will vote for their own tickets,
state and national, at the November elec.
tion. Up to within week Gov. Buchan-
an, who was formerly president OF the
state Alliance, and who withdrew from
the race for the Democratic nomination,
owing to the feeling created against him
by his Endorsement OF the sub-treasury
and other Alliance doctrines, had been
regarded as the choice of to-day's conven-
ton for the gube-natorial nomination.
So much feeling has been created in Ali.
ance circles, however, by his exercise Of
the pardoning power in the case OF Col.
Clay King that his position is problem
atical. Several prominent Alliance mel
have declared that under no circumstances
will they support the ticket If his name is
placed upon it.

COLUMB BUS DAY.
Governor Prince Issues Proclamation
Calling for Its Observance by
New Mexioans.

Whereas, The president OF the United
States, by proclamation, has appointed
Friday, October 81, 1892, the 400th an
niversary of the discovery of America by
Columbus, as national holiday, and has
recommended its observance in the fol.
lowing appropriate methods:
"On that day let the people, as far as
possible, devote themselves to such exer-
cises as may best express honor to the
discoverer and their appreciation of the
great achievements of the four completed
centuries of American life.
"Let the national flag float over every
school house in the county, aud the
exercises be such as shall impress upon
our youth the patriotic duties of American
citizenship. In the churches and other
places of assembly OF the people, let there
be expressions OF gratitude to Providence
for the devout faith Of the discoverer, and
for the divine care and guidance which
antly blessed our people" And,
Whereas, The people Of New Mexico
have special interest in this anniver-
sary, because they, more than those o!
any other portion OF the country, repre-
sent the kingdoms OF CASTLE and Leon,
under whose auspices the voyage OF dis
covery was made; their soil WAS trodden
by the feet of the chiyalrous and intrepid
followers of Columbus within half cen
tury of his great achievement, and the
oldest OF their settlements date back to
the same era;
Therefore, /, L. Bradford Prince, gov
ernor of New Mexico, do proclaim and
recommend that Friday, October 81, be
observed as public holiday throughout
this territory, and that its due celebration
be conducted in accordance with the
above suggestions.
Witness my hand and the great
seal OF the territory OF New Mex
[sEAL] leo, at Santa Fe, the capital,
this 18th day Of August, in tie
year OF Our Lord, 1892.

GOOD FOR TEXAS.
The HOgg and Clark Factions Split
the Democratic Convention.

HoUsToN, Aug. 18.-The Democratic
state convention met here yesterday and
the battle between the Clarke and Hogg
factions is getting away above fever heat.
Just as the result of the ballot on tenn.
porary chairman wac being announced,
ex-senator Mattock jumped on a chair
and declared that the minority had been
sighted ard bulldozed. The chair had,
he said, violated all parliamentary law
and customs, and he wanted all those who
favored the election of Lane for temporary
chairman to signify by saying aye. The
Clarke delegates and the spectators all
hoWled and shout went up from 5000
throats and Mattock declared Lane elect
ed. In an instant the Clarke banner was
hoisted and then mighty rush was made
for the platform to secure half of ii. The
scene which then ensued is undesirable.
Men in angry passion were surging,
pushing and pulling at the tables
and chairs and all the time yelling. Sew
eral fights were going on in the audience
and pistols and knives were fourished,
and for several moments it seemed as il
a bloody scene of carnage would ensue.
One reporter, who had gained seat OF
vantage, was in the stampede and hurled
distance of thirty feet on the heads of
some OF the crowd below. At last partial
order was worked out of chaos, as though
by mutual consent the murderous pistols
and knives were pnt up, and each side
took half OF the platform, with Sheppard
presiding over the Hogg convention and
Lane over the Clarke. Both sides soon
got down to business and hegan the work
Of organization by upDnint ny the usual
committees, when an adjournment was
taken.

TO BIZ HANGED TOMORROW,
Falkner, the Murderer, Listens to the
Reading of His Death
Warrant.

Frederick Falkner, who murdered and
robbed his travelling companion, James
Lannon, in Colfsx county, in August last,
will be hanged at Las Vegas tomorrow.
The execution will take place within an
inclosure adjoining the Jail and but few
people will be permitted to be present as
witnesses.
A petition containing over 800 sigma
lures was received at the governors office
to-day from Las Vegas, praying that the
sentence Of Falkner be commuted to i'm
prisoDment for life. The governor, how
ever, is not in the city, having gone to
Magdalepa on a business trip; but were
he here it is not at sl probable that he
would take any action that would inter
fere with the course Of the law, particularly
since the supreme court has had an op-
portunity to review the case and has
unanimously affirmed the judgment OF
the trial court. That Falkner is vicious
criminal there can not be the slightest
doubt. He must pay the penalty for his
viCiousness.
The mandate from the supreme court,
affirming the decision Of the trial court,
was read by the sheriff to the doomed
man in his cell, yesterday morning. He
took it coollv, simply remarking, after the
stereotyped style OF all criminals, that he
was innocent of the crime charged, but
would die like man on the scaffold and
at the hands OF countryman of his.
