C. H. CAUTHoRN DEAD.
One Of AudraIn's Highly Respected
Citizens Passes From Earth
A Brief Biography.

C. ii. Cauthorn died at his home
near Laddonia Friday rather un-
expectedly. He was thrown from a
horse several weeks since which is
the immediate cause of his death.
He had gotten considerably better,
however, from the effects of the ac-
cident and his recovery was thought
. certainty until the last few days.
In the death of Mr.. Cauthorn the
county loses a valuable citizen and
his family an honorable, straight
forward and loving father and hus-
band. One of the pioneer fami-
lies tos>settle. in Audrain county
was that of Carter Cauthorn, father
of Columbus III. Cauthorn, who
emigated from Virginia in 1885, and
settled in this county two years fol-
lowing, having spent the interim at
Troy, in Lincoln county, and after
wards in Monroe county. Of Carter
Cauthorn and his wife, whose maiden
name was Eliza A. Colvin (she of
Culpeper county and he Of Essex
county of In, Old Dominion) the
deceased was born on the old home
stead in this county on the lit
day of February, 1874. His fathe
was man of great industry and en-
ergy, a man whose ideas of rectitud,
and the proprieties of life were o
the strictest; and under the in
auences of such father, the sol
was naturally brought up to thos,
habits and principles 80 essential Il
success in material affairs and t,
useful, honorable citizenship. Mr.
Cauthorn's education was not neg
lected. He had the full benefit of tn,
excellent neighborhood public ant
private schools. Agriculture thel
being. as it is indeed yet, the prin
cipal Industry Of this part of th,
country, on reaching manhood Mr.
Cauthorn became farmer by regu
lar occupation and this he has sines
followed. Marrying in 1876 he a
once settled on farm north o
Laddonia, where he carried on hi
farming operations for about five
years, with marked vigor of success
Having an opportunity to sell hi
place to good advantage, he dis
posed of it and removed to the farm
on which he died. For a numbel
Of years Mr.. Cauthorn has been en-
gagged in handling stock. He an
nually shipped large numbers o.
cattle and hogs to the wholesal,
markets. Mr.. Cauthorn's home

forts of good farm and pleasant

and again that ho would rather lose
81 ,00o, 600 or 10 than to accede to
the demands Of the men against
what he calls his principle. Repre-
sentatives OF the Amalgamated AS
soeiation say that the new scale
prepared by Mr.. Frick in contra
vention to their own, contemplated
such sweeping reductions that the
men were not able to sign it. 1t has
been understood that the present
fight on the part OF Carnegie, If sue
cessful, will be n stunning blow to
organized labor, and the men have
prepared for a long siege. After a
long discussion of Mr.. Frick's pro-
position, the workmen agreed to ac-
cept minimum price for steel bill
lets of $24 a ton. Mr.. Frick, how
ever, would not go beyond $23, and
he prepared San ultimatum to the
men, setting forth that if the new
wage scale was not signed by mid
night of June "a, all negotiations
would be dropped and the men
would be locked out. Immediately
after this Mr.. Carnegie's representa-
tives began to fortify the works at
Homestead. The great steel works
there cover 10 acres. Twelve big
buildings and score OF smaller
shops and sheds occupy much of
the space. Among these are the
converting mill, where Bessemer
steel is made, the beam mill, the
plate mill, the armor plate mill, the
open hearth MILL, the fini shing de-
partment, the 10-inch, the 22-inch
and the 119-inch mill, and the big
plate pressing-room. The water for
the works comes from the Mononga-

CHICAGO, June 17.-There are indica-
sions that the hotels within forty-eight
hours will be well filled with Democrats
for the big convention on next Tuesday
The first anti-snap delegates elected by
the protesting convention at Syracuse,
have arrived. Their quarters will be at
the Grand Pacific Hotel, and Charles
Fairchild, Charles E. Leery Anderson
and Frederick l.. Condert will be the
leaders. The anti-snappers believe in
getting on the ground early, and they
will be loaded with facts and figures to
support their claims that Cleveland is
the choice of the New York Democracy
Amos j. Cummings, of New York,
who is at the Leland, says, however,
that the fight in New York is not as in
tense as reports would indicate, and
that either Cleveland or Hill will get
the full Democratic vote.
Two Indiana Democrats of promi-
nence arrived at the Palmer House.
They are B. f. Lothian and Charles L.
Wood of Logansport. Both claim to
have had assurances that the Indiana
delegation will be solid for Cleveland
unless they see chance for ex- Governor
Gray to win, in which event the delega-
tion will be for him.
A Boom for Boies.
The advance guard of the Iowa dele
cation has arrived and brought with
them small Boies boom.
"This Boies boom which we have
brought with US, said Mr.. Martin, one
of the members. will be decidedly
lively in proportion when it strikes the
convention. The delegates propose to
secure his nomination, and they will
stick to him % the end. Governor Boies
is not making the campaign. 1t is the
work of Iowa. We are not placing him
for second place Oh the ticket.
The main body of the Cleveland
boomers, 500 strong, will arrive on Sat
urday next The Cleveland club of
Buffalo, with 325 men; the Democratic
club Of Philadelphia, and the Demo-
cratic club of Kansas City will arrive
Saturday.
Prediction That Cleveland VIII Win.
Mr.. O. s. Stealy, the Washington cor
respondent of the Louisville Courier
Journal, is in the city to attend the con-
vention. In his dispatch to The Courier
Journal he states that the Cleveland
faction here will sweep everything be-
fore it, and that Cleveland will be nom
ia al
that there will be no organized opposi-
tion to the nomination of Mr.. Cleve-
land outside Of New York. He con
cludes his dispatch as follows:
"Since we cannot have ]. G. Carlisle,
let us make president at the great con-
vention that has sustained this govern
ment He will work tariff reform that
will ring from one end of the country
to the other, and is splendidly equipped
for the position, and always fair and
