LIGHTNING OR muRDEai
Suspicion of Foul PLAY IN the Case OF the
Emmetts.

The people of Fulton are by no means
satisfied that the Emmett family, wno
were found dead in thor house on tho
night of the 10th of July during the pre-
valence of violent thunderstorm, were
killed by lightning, although this Tas tne
verdict of the corners jury. 1t will be re,
memhered that recently it has developed
that the woman was not Emmetts VIE.
Mr., Blllups. the undertaken to whom the
bodies were turned over, and VINO, with
his son, prepared them for burial, was
seen by DISPATCH reporter yesterday
afternoon and questioned closely as 70
whether there were any burns ABOUT the
bodies, or any other marks 10 lnulcate
that. as some seem to suppose. the family
were murdered. He declared emphati--
cally that there we're no evidences OF foul
pIay about the victims, and utterly repu-
dated the suggestion that they had been
murdered. Each, he said, had scar on
the cheek which resembled blister, end
this caused him TO remark TO bis con that
thew had all been killed alike, but he was
satisfied that if they had been murdered
he would have discovered 1t.
SQUIRE FR1scHKoRN's VIEW.
Souire Frischkorn was also confident
that the family were killed by lightning,
and said he thought that fact, was July
established by the evidence before the
COrOQerS Jury. DIT. DlnupS, no oshtCu'
was closely examined with view Of dis
covering whether there wero any bruises
on the bodies.
Or. Chalkiey, who held the inquest, was
asked by the reporter whether he was sa-
tisfied that the tragedy was the result OF a
liehtning-stroke. and said emphatically
that ne was not. as he had no chance to
examine the bodies, and went entirely
upon the evidence before the Coroner's
jury.
CORONER TAYLOR SUSPICIOUS.
Coroner Taylor, who took decided in
terest III the case, was next seen. He said
there were no marks of lightning about the
building and no evidence to show that
lightning had done the work except the
fact that the bed-springs. window-bars
and other metallic material were magnet
lied. THIS was not conclusive, as the
magnetic condition might have been due
to other causes than a lightning stroke. A
remarkable fact, continued DR.. Taylor,
was that no harm was done 20 the bad con-
ductors and havoc had been played with
the good conductors. There was the
usual operation of lightning. He regarded
the case as a very suspicious one.

STEPHENvILLE, TEX, March S.-The pre-
cinct convention met at Stephenville to-day
for the purpose OF instructing the senator
and representatives from this district on
the alien land law, the railroad commission,
and other matters. The following resolu-
tons were passed:
1. That we are opposed to the railway
commission under its present organization,
as it has not been productive of results the
people expected
2 That we are unalterably opposed to
the alien land law, as its operations has
tended to injure and retard the develop
ment of our grand commonwealth. 1t has
driven capital, manufactures and invest
ors from the state. and we believe this law,
in its present radical form, has done the
country irreparable injury.
g. That we do not believe that the adj

for governor of Texas whose ideas would
be liberal toward the expansion and de-
velopment of the wonderful and unlimited
resources of our grand state; in other
words, we believe the time has come when
Texas should be turned loose"
The committee on resolutions stood three
for Mills ana two for CulbersOn, and so re-
ported to the convention. The majority re-
port went through with a whoop by vote
of s to Is. The minority reported in favor
of Culberson for the senate.
Precinct No. votes over eight hundred

FLOUR MAKERS
ton of Rates on Wheat and Flour
from Kansas Points to Texas.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
AUSTIN, TEX, March s.-The -four mill
owners of Texas are somewhat exercised
over intelligence received to the effect that
movement is on hand in Kansas and the
territory tributary to Kansas City, to OBJ
tain from the interstate commerce commits
sion reversal of a decision made by it
about eighteen months ago, fixing a differ
ential of 5 cents between wheat and -four
shipped from that territory to Texas. Two
members of the commission having died
since that decision, it is feared that their
successors may be disposed to agree with
Judge Morrison the chairman who is in
favor of abolishing the cent differential
and making equal rates. between wheat and
-four. How would that injure the Texas
miller9 In this way: Texas does not
raise wheat enough Ito bread her''-not by
half. For that reason Texas millers must
buy at least half the wheat they grind from
Kansas City or st. Louis. If the Kansas
City miller can ship his -four to Texas for
the same rate charged for wheat, the Texas
miller could not afford to buy any wheat
there, for after making -four of it he would
have to stand the local freight rates on that
flour when shipped to his customers, which
would be about an average of 10 cents per
100 pounds in excess of the rate on Kansas
-four to Texas common points. Hence the
reason for the maintenance of the existing
differential or charge of cents per 100
pounds more con flour than on wheat
shipped to the South from points North.
The object sought by the Texas millers is
TO have the favor and support of the Texas
commission when the matter shall be
brought before the interstate commission
for readjudication.

terday evening a gentleman living in the
northwestern part of the city was looking
up some stock in the suburbs, when ne
came upon burly black man, who at once
began to get out of the way. The white
mans suspicion was at once aroused, and ne
began looking around. He found that the
negro had nicely arranged camp, and had
evidently been there several days. The
gentleman at once came to the city and re-
ported the facts to Sheriff Sherman, who
proceeded to look up the individual Sec
ton men on the Cotton Be told the sherln
they had seen him going toward Mt Yer
non at lively gait. Tnereupon the officers
procured a handcar and pulled out in pur-
suit. Arriving at Mt Vernon at dark, they
found the man. Upon questioning him he
gave the name of Jim Thompson. The
sheriff found pocket-knife and silk hand
kerchief on his person which has been
identified as the property of Mr.. John L.
Hargrove. whose house was burglariZed

were taken from the Garrison hotel The

Saturday evening man and woman came
into the city in q buggy and stopped at
Miller & Pickens' stable, where they had
their team taken care of and proceeded to
a clearinghouse. During the evening the
man approached Mr.. Pickens and asked
him TO cash check for S120 on the First

after banking hours and he needed money.
Mr. PickenS told him he would assist him
in getting the check cashed Mr.. A. E.
Beall was next called upon at his saloon
and asked to advance some money on the
paper, which Mr. Pickens thought was
good. Mr. Beall gave the man $50 and sew

would open on Monday morning, when all
would be made right o Sunday the man

INTERESTING HISTORY
ABOUT The DEMOCRATIC PLAT
FORM OF 1888.
German. Carlisle and Cleveland Agreed on
1t, but the President Declined
to stand by 1t.

WASHINGTON, March S.-The following
history is related upon high authority of
the connection of Mr.. Cleveland with tie
platform adopted by his party in 1855:
Some time before the convention Mr.
Cleveland, Mr. German and other promi-
nent Democrats conferred about 1t. Mr.
Cleveland expressed serious doubts about
going before the country on u platform
based upon his tariff message and sug-
geated that perhaps the platform of 1884,
upon which he was elected, would be the
best Senator German agreed with him
and it was decided the platform of 1884
should be the platform of ElSSS. 1t was
drawn up by Manton Marble and given to
Senator German to present TO the commit
tee on resolutions of the convention.
Up to that time Senator German had de-
clined to go to the convention as a delegate,
but at the personal solicitation of Mr..
Cleveland, he wired to his friends in Mary
land TO have him elected as a delegate to
the St. Louis convention. He went to the
depot here in Washington with the plat
form drawn up by Manton Marble at the
request of Mr.. Cleveland in his pocket. At
the depot a messenger from the president
met him with note, asking that the plat
form be returned for few slight amend
ments. 1t was returned and Mr.. Cleve-
land changed it slightly and sent it out to
St. Louis by q special messenger to Senator
German.
When the committee on resolutions of
the convention met Senator German pre-
scented the platform already drawn up with
the statement that it had been approved by
Mr.. Cleveland and that he wanted it
adopted Henry Watterson objected to it
unless Mr.. Cleveland should telegraph en-
phatically that it was the platform he
wanted. Senator German wired TO Mr..
Cleveland TO wire him to that effect. At
the same time he wired to Senator Carlisle,
who was with him and Mr.. Cleveland when
they agreed upon it. A reply came from
Mir. Carlisle that he did not remember ex-
actly what had been agreed upon. Mr..
Cleveland showed the white feather by lot
answering at all OF course this embar-
raised the Maryland senator and he made
no further fight. The Watterson platform
was then adopted, and when Senator Cor
man returned 10 Washing ton and called
upon Mr.. Cleveland for an explanation his
only reply was that he did not think it
would have been dignifed in him to inter-
fere with the action OF the convention.
That's The true history of the platform of
