GRESHAM WILL NOT SPEAK
CHAIRMAN TAUBENECK OF THE THIRD
PARTY IS MISTAKEN.
He Told Ghost Stories About Gresham's
Promises, as He Never Mentioned the
subject-Chairman stoll also Talks
Wild, as Gresham Never
Spoke to Him.

THOMSON, Conn.,, Aug. 13.-Judge
w. @. Gresham and wife have been
guests of J. w. Deane of Thomson,
Conn, since last Wednesday. This
afternoon Judge Gresham made a
statement to the reporter that he
would deliver no speeches during the
campaign. He was questioned con-
corning the statement given the press
recently by Chairman Taubeneck of
the Peoples party at st. Louis to the
effect that he had concluded to take
the stump in the interest of the Third
party and would make campaign
speeches, Taubepeck claiming to have
received this information from George
G. Stoll, chairman of the state centraI
committee of Indiana, TO whom it was
alleged Judge Gresham had written.
The Judge said the statement was
without authority. That he should
make no political speeches during the
campaign. The judge was asked to
give his views of the political situa-
ton, but answered that he did not
want to speak on the subject. When
asked concerning the truth of the In
dianapolis special to the Boston
paper in which chairman Stoll
claimed that the judge would take
the stump, Judge Gresham said he
had not known 6toll and had no COM
munication with him, and his first
answer covered everything. He de-
clined to discuss the platform and
principles of the Peoples party. When
asked " hat he had to say, if any
thing, as to the reasons given by the
indianapolis Republicans why he
could not antagonize the Republican
party, he replied as an American citi-
zen he considered it his duty to vote
according to his convictions and he
owed no slavish obedience to any
party. He said he intended returning
to Chicago in day or two.

A Treasured Relic.

Miss Nina Cromwell, of Detroit, who
claims to be lineal descendant of the
great Oliver Cromwell, owns veneer
able Bible which is thought to be the
identical volume which the protector
used. 1t was printed in 1891, by John
Wolfe, for the assigns of Richard Day,
and was brought to this country in 1850
by Benjamin Cromwell, the greatuncle
of the present owner, who has refused
$500 for it. The edges of the pages are
bordered with columns of references in
the style which is current today. The
references are not so numerous, how
ever, as those in a modern Bible. Be-
tween the Old and New Testaments
are the apocryphal books, and at the
close of the New Testament is subject
index.
Perhaps the most curious part of the
volume is the metrical arrangement of
the Psalms with which it Closes The
preface to this part of the work states
that the Psalms were COLLECTED into
English meter by Thomas Stern, John
Hopkins and others, with apt notes to
sing them withall." The notes are dia-
mond shaped and are arranged on a
staff of five lines, having cleft not I'M
like the modern tenor cleft. Each note
is open and the stem, when one is used,
proceeds from the apex of the diamond.

WHY KING WAS COMMITTED
GOVERNOR BUCHANAN GIVES HIS
REASONS FOR HIS LENIENCY.
Refusal to Change Venue, Evident insanity,
Improper Acts Of Jurors, Dissenting
Opinion Of Judge, Petition Of $4,000
People and Women's Tears.

NASHVILLE, Aug. 1l.-"GoVernor
Buchanan, will you give me your rea-
sons for the Communication of Colonel
King?" asked an Associated Press re-
porter this morning.
"With pleasure;" said the governor,
"and | will do it briefly. First, the
refusal of change of venue for King
was a gross error. Second, the man
must have been insane when he COM
mitted the act. Third, affidavits were
filed with me which were made too
late to be part of the court records,
that Juror Smith had held COMMUNE
cation with the outside world and also
expressed an opinions; Juror Mulin
did the same thing. Fourth, the trip
of the jury to Arkansas, and fifth, the
fact of the dissenting opinion of one
of the supreme judges. Sixth, che
wailings of Mrs. Kink and her daught-
ers and other women, and lastly that
$1,000 people asked me through letters
and petitions for the Communication OF
Kings sentence"
The governor then handed the re-
porter petition signed by twenty
six United States senators and cong
ressmen. The petitions were signed
by Senators Carlisle of Kentucky,
Voorhees, of Indiana, Harris of Ten
nessee, Blackburn of Kentucky, Coke
of Texas, Vest of Missouri, Call of
Florida; Congressman Enloe, Rich
ardson and Pierce of Tennessee,
Breckenridge and Goodnight OF
Kentucky, Fellows of New York,
Kilgore, Bailey, Long, Stewart, Say.
ers and Grain of Texas, Edmonds OF
Virginia, Forman, Cable, Wake,
Busey and Lane of Illinois.
Besides these important people
Governor Buchanan has letters from
Governor Hogg of Texas, Congress
man Snodgrass of Tennessee, ex-Gov-
ernors Logan H. Roots ofColorado,
Simon b. Buckner of Kentucky,
Thomas Hanna of Indiana, and Gov
ernor John Young Brown of Ken

prominence.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
New York and Texas Steamship Company
Hauled Up for Violation.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE New
York and Texas Steamship company
has filed answer in suit brought by
the interstate commerce commission,
charging the company with violating
the interstate commerce law. Defend.
ant company denies that 1t entered
into any agreement with any railway
company to transport passengers or
freight by continuous carriage or
from any place in New
England or the middle states to any
other place in the United States. 1t

between the port of New York and
other seaports, aud it is impossible, it
asserts. for it to carry on a continuous
business. 1t denies
that the company owns or controls
any other carrier system, or that any
other carrier system controls the bus
mess of the company.

Fountain of Forgetfulness,

The little spot of green down by the
New York postoffice is again the haven
OF the weary tramp. Hundreds of pro-
fessionai beats, the lazy, the good for
nothing, the unfortunate sit there day
by day.
If one of them mods, policeman
comes along, taps him on the chin with
a stick and orders him to "wake up. "
Ii he does not waken like lightning, the
copper says very distinctly that the
tramp shall "move on" He usually
moves, too, for the rules are very strictly
enforced.
A pathetic phase of the subject is seen
as soon as night sets in-that is, the later
hours, after the noise and hustle of the
day is ended and silence reigns about
the haunts of trade.
There is little fountain in the mid
die of the place. The tramps who sit in
the little park at night always take
seats as near as possible to the fountain.
1t is pathetic sight-these old, battered
specimens around the fountain. The
far off seats are deserted, but those
about the fountain are filled to over
flowing.
There is something in the splash of
the fountain that fascinates the wander
ing and the homeless. 1t lulls Them
maybe, to forgetfulness.-New York

Honest "In,jun."

About six months ago an Indian
named O-we-o, of the Umatilla reserva-
ton in Oregon, was killed by a railroad
train. Some time previous to his death
he had borrowed twenty dollars from a
bank in Pendleton, giving his note Sc
cured by the name of another Indian.
She-wa-wa. O-we-o's wife, Lucy, skinned
dead sheep found on the ranges during
the winter and spring and hustled hard
in other ways until she had scraped to-
gether about twenty-five dollars. Last
week she went to the bank and paid her
husbands note, and also insisted on pay
ing the interest to the astounded cashier.
The bank refused to accept the interest.

SwordfShing.

Swordfshing is at once exciting,
perilous and remunerative. Last year
swordfish sold as high as eleven cents a
pound in this port, and single fish will
often weigh 500 or even 1000 pounds.
The method of getting the fish affords
an opportunity for great sport. Like
the shark, the swordfish can be seen for
a considerable distance by his black fin,
which protrudes above the surface of
the water as he swims. But unlike the
shark, the swordfsh moves steadily
with the upper tip of his tail also out Of
the water, as rigid and steady as the fin
itself. Swordfish also generally go in
shoals.
The swordfish is captured by means of
a long spear or harpoon. To the shank
of this spear is attached stout line
about 600 feet long, and to the end of
the line is made fast stout, water tight
cask. Each harpoon is good for one
swordfsh, and a schooner usually carries
a considerable number of them.-Port-
land (Me.) Press.

Rack Hosiery,

The demand for black hosiery that
has been so great for several years con-
tinues undated and although this year
the sale of colored goods has somewhat
increased, still the leading houses report
that black constitutes rs per cent. of all
sold. Even in the finest grades of fancy
hosiery, in silk and Isle, the use of
colors is in the embroidery or stripes or
lace effects, the stocking being still in
black.-Dry Goods Economist.

IS 1T CHOLERA {?
A Suspicious Ailment is Causing Many

A Suspicious Ailment is Causing Many
Deaths in New Jersey Village.
New YORK, Aug. 1.-THE Herald
says that Helmitta, manufacturing
village near New Brunswick, n. j., is
alarmed over the fact that within a
week twenty deaths have occurred
from disease, which seems to be cpl
demic. More than fifty people have
been stricken and physicians seem to
be puzzled as to the proper way to
treat the disease. The afflicted have
most of the symptoms of cholera. One
of the physicians thinks it is a violent
form of dysentery, though many fear
it is cholera, as many Russians and
Poles are employed in that section.
The disease has spread to Spottswood
village, few miles from Helmitta
Several people are ill, though none
have died. A number of people who
work in Helmitta live in Spottswood
and have apparently carried the dis
ease there.

West show has caused quite fiutter

to the editor of The Republican to

count of articles appearing in that

The Republican charged that there
was unnecessary injury done to ami
mails during the performances so far
given here, and suggested that the
Humane society interfere. Carver's
challenge is addressed "To the Editor
of The Republican," and he would
probably fight sub-editor if one
were put before him. In closing the
challenge he says, II do not edit a
queer newspaper in which to reply to
The Republican, but 1 will be at the

YELLOW FEVER ON FLORIDA COAST
A Schooner from havana Laid Up with a
Crew Sick with Fever.

JACKSONVILLE Aug. IL. -Four
cases of yellow fever have developed
on board the four-masted American
schooner Eva Douglass, which arrived
at Mullett Key quarantine station on
the 3rd from Havana, on the way to
Tampa, to unload phosphate. The
schooner was thoroughly fumigated
and then placed in quarantine for five
days. On the afternoon of the 5th
inst. the captain sent word ashore
that he was sick. DR.. Porter, state
health officer, has just arrived at the
station and on investigation pro-
nounced the captains sickness yellow
fever He then ordered the first mate
to take the vessel to Dry Tortugas
next morning, but next morn
ing word was sent ashore that
the mate and two of the seamen were
down with fever. This left the vessel
shorthanded, as she was quite large
one, and besides the men were down
with fever. The second mate had
fallen down the hatchway and was
disabled. Doctor Porter then placed
Captain Bartt, one of the employees of
the quarantine station, in charge of
the Douglass and instructed him to
move her over under the point of Egg
mont Key, about six miles from the
station, and out of the track ofvessels,
where she Is now at anchorage.
This was done and Doctor Porter is
now on board the vessel with an ex
perienced yellow fever nurse to as
sist him in caring for the cases which
have already and may hereafter de.

nine men all told, and as they are all

If they had any claim to put forth the
time to have done so was before the
will was admitted to probate and the
estate placed in the hands of Mrs.
Searles' executors. The relatives de-
clare that when he made the settle
ment with Timothy Hopkins, Mrs:
Searles' adopted son, Searles promised
them each $25,000 if they would not
oppose the admission of the will to

A SENSATIONAL EsCAPADE.
a San Antonio Drummer and Hillsborc
Girl Attempt Suicide at Fort Worth.

Special to The Statesman.
FORT WORTH, Aug. ia sensa-
tional affair was that which occurred
at the New Arlington Inn, and two
respectable families have, through a
mans mad passion and woman's
love, been plunged in sorrow, through
the conduct of Miss Mary West, a
beautiful and we'll educated young
lady of Hillsboro, who has been visit
ing in this city for some time, ard E.
P. Thorne, a married man in the en-
ploy of San Antonio drug house, as
drummer. Some time ago the
young lady fell desperately in love
with Thorne who did not re-
veal to her the fact that
he was a married man
and when he did her regard for him
became so deep that she could not
stitle it. Friday night the couple
went for ride in the country, and ON
their return determined to put up for
the night at the Arlington, where
they represented themselves as man
uIu WHO duu WtI6 dSSlS u6u u TOUIu.
Then, no doubt stricken with remorse,
knowing that they could not live to-
gether and feeling that they could not
exist without each other they deter
mined to die. Thirty grains of NOR
phine were swallowed by each, and
the young lady when she began to
feel the effects of it commenced to
pray. Her prayers were heard by the
housekeeper, who made the circum-
stance known and the room was en-
tered Both Thorne and the young
lady were then considerably under
the influence of the poison, and a ply
sician was sent for, and from the time
of his arrival he worked hard to bring
the would-be suicides around. Thorne
is well known all over the state, and
it is said he told friend that he pro-
posed to commit suicide because of his
intense love for the young lady. He
said that he dearly loved his wife and
children and that it was the awful fix
he was in that made him contemplate
the deed. AS soon as resuscitated
Thorne skipped. Mrs. West and a
brother of the girl came for her to-
night. Thorne's wife lives in San An
tonic. The officers are looking for
Thorne.
