MURDERED Ills w a W AMI w IL H'
Albert Wing murdered his wife in a
Louisville Drothel Tuesday night. They
had lived together before their mar
riase. but at the time of the ceremony
he swore to kill her if she should be
faithless, and she swore to kill him I'M
less he stopped drinking. The woman
lived for several years in st. Louis, and
it was there that Wing murdered
Joseph Glenn on her account. Her
maiden name was Miriam Eaves, and
she was the daughter of Judge Charles
Eaves of Grcenvillc, KY. While u
young girl she was wronged by man
named Reno. Her fatheriorced him to
marry her at the point of a pistol. In
1879 she left Reno and went to st:
Louis, where she became acquainted
with Wing. They hired room and
began living as man rs wife. After
ward she met Joseph Glenn, and one
night she took Glenn to her room with
Wings consent. About daylight Wing
came to the room and told Glenn that
he had expected to find him gone. A
quarrel resulted, and Wing shot Glenn
through the head, killing him instantly.
Wing was convicted of murder and SEN
fenced to serve ten years in the Mis-
souri, penitentiary. After serving five
years he was pardoned by Governor
Francis en- condition that he would
abandon the woman and his dissipated
habits.
This was two years ago last spring.
In the meantime Judge caves had made
repeated efforts TO reform his daughter,
and placed her in Il convent in st.
Louis. She remained there year and
then returned to her fathers home in
Greenyille, where she was welcomed by
her parents. She seemed in fair way
to reform and showed deep interest in
the Catholic Church. But the tendency
to sin that had firm hold on the om-
an was only dormant, and after time
broke out afresh She went back to st.
Louis aud entered an unlawful house,
being known as Essie Davis. She
spent year of this dissipated life. pay
ing no heed to her fathers entreaties 10
return. Finally he succeeded in get
ting her to enter convent in the north
west as teacher OF music. She was
accomplished in this respect. She
spent couple of years there, leading q
virtuous and industrious life. One day
she heard of Wings pardon and she
went back to Grecnville, ostensibly on
a visit. When Wing had been pardon
ed he also went back to Grecnville, and
secured a place with n tobacco company
as buyer. No one knew of intimate
relations existing between himself and
Mrs. Reno, and it was a great surprise
when about May last they appeared
before the County Clerk of AIuhlenburg
county about II o'clock one night and
secured license to marry. The cere-
mony was performed that night by a
magistrate.
Wing and his wife lived together in
harmony is far as the outside world
knew until a few months ago, when
Mrs. Wing left Greenville and went to
Louisville, where she entered upon the
old life. Wing followed and murdered
her.

Norristown Jail, where he gave bail for

District Attorney Charles W. Hol-

friends are greatly alarmed over his

1t is said that John l. Davenport has
plars laid to arrost 5000 men at the
polls on election day. He is leaving
no stone unturned to help the republi-
can party in its attemptto carry New
York. No apprehension is felt, how
ever by the democratic national COM
m;ttee that Davenport's tactics can ac-
complish much.

THE FUSION of the third partyites
with the republicans in this State is
not at all surprising, as every body
knows that renegade is worse than
seven Turks, and only proves what the
democrats have all along said of them,
but what they have until now strenu-
ously denied. However, it will do
them no good, for there are so few Of
them that their loss to the democrats
will be more than etiset by the support
of the reputable white Virginia repub-
leans, who are opposed to any such
disgraceful combine" and who are also
opposed to the Force bill that would Sc
riously interfere with all the industries
and values in the State.

EVERY FEDERAL office holder, no
matter how small his salary may be,
has been assessed for money with which
to buy Mr.. Harrison's reelection. All
the members of Mr.. Harrson's Cabinet
are now. and for months have been, ac-
lively engaged in electioneering for
him NEARLY all the U. S. foreign minis
tiers have been brought home for the
same purpose, and the federal depart
ments in Washington have been de-
serted by their occupants, who have
gone home to put their shoulders to the
wheel. In all the past history of tho
government there never has been such
gross prostitution of the evil service
to Il partisan object. The most ridicu-
lous part of the whole business is that
even Mr.. Roosevelt, the chief Of the
civil service reform commission, has
also gone to speaking for Mr.. Harrison.

Harrison has compelled his reelection by the
logic OF events and the imperious necessities OF
the situation.
The man who Is nominated here to-day, to win
must carry a certain we-known number OF
doubtful States. Patrick Henry, in the cOnyen-

pendence OF the colonies from Great Britain,
said: II have but one lamp by which my feet are

"Mr. Chairman and gentlemen Of the con-
veution. move that the rules be suspended
and that Benjamin Harrison be nominated
for President Of the United States by acela-
nation"
The Harrison people gave a wild. hysteri-
cal cheer Of approval; but there were cries
of No no; rollcall!' from Blaine and Nc
Kinley delegates in various parts of the hall.
One enthusiastic Blaine man made the point
of order that the motion of Mckinley was
not in order.
II desire to say" said Mckinley. 'that
you can suspend any rule you have made by
a two-thirds majority, and let us do so now"
The Blaine and Mckinley people refused to
yield and the chairman pro tenn. (Shepard)
started to put the motion, but his voice
could not be heard.
At this juncture various gentlemen then
surrounded Mckinley. and after hurried
conference the latter again took the plat
form and said "Mr. Chairman, there are
States that have not been reached which de-
sire TO record their votes and understand
they record their votes in the direction of
my motion. In order to enable them TO do
so | therefore withdraw my notion" Pro-
Ionged applause.l
The rolleall continued with a steady gain
for Harrison, and it was obvious that he
was nominated by considerable majority.
but it required some time for the clerks TO
foot up the results.
During the interval Mckinley had again
taken the chair, and half an hour later
asked the clerks to announce the result Of
the rolcall.
''Tbe whole number Of votes" said the
clerk, "is 904Ez. and the number necessary
to choice is 453. Benjamin Harrison re-
ceved $50 1-6 votes, James G. Blaine 1S2 1-6,

majority of the votes cast" said Chairman
Mckinley, sis the nominee of this conven-
tion. Shall the nomination be made unan-
imous? All in favor of making it unan-
imous say aye" said the chairman.
There was storm of ayes.
1T is unanimous" said the chairman,
and once more the convention gave itself
over to one OF those scenes of enthusiasm
which had been SO familiar to the proceed
ings Of the day.
Chairman Mckinley said: Senator In
gals of. Kansas has sent to the desk a reso-
luton which he asks unanimous consent to
pass. and think it ought TO pass. The reso.
luton reads as follows:
''Resolued That the secretary Of the conven.

VutGfSs
MINNEAPOLIS Convention RalD. June
10.-Mr. Depew's reference TO Mckinley
caused great demonstration all over the
hall. The audience had paid close attention
to the great New Yorker, cheering various
sentiments and breaking out afresh when
he mentioned Harrison's name. When De-
pew ssid,. "Who will be given the credit
for the great acts Of the administration ?'
some one in the audience called out
Blaine" and there was great applause.
DepeW said be yielded to no one
in his admiration ard respect for
the gentleman from Maine, and when
the hubbub had subsided the chair
man recognized ex-senator Warner Miller of
New York. The speech of the great Nicaragua
Canal advocate secOnding Blaine's n0m-
inatiOn was brief, but his words of harmony
we're well received. His statement that
himself and friends had no word Of de-
traction for Harrison, and that the nominee
Of the convention would receive the support
ofall Republicans provoked hearty applause.
A colOred delegate from North Carolina,
following Miller. seconded Harrison.
When Ohio was called. shouts for For
aker were heard on every side, but Foraker
closed his lips and shook his head. The
general understanding had been that he
would make the principal speech for Blaine,
but when, for some reason unknown to the
great bulk of the audience, he firmly de-
clined the disappointment was intense.
Another colored orator gained the plat
form, but was coldly received till a sarcastic
reference was made to the shouting Of the
people in the galleries for Blaine. He
brought down the house by the excama-
tion, ''Thank God, the people in the galleries
have votes at the pools" BE closed with: /:
Eternity itself shall catch the name Of

NEWS IN WASHING ION.
How Harrison Nomination Was Received at
the White House.

mS VHItS HOHScs
WASHINGTON, D. c.. June 10.-"Harri-
son and Reid" Is ticket that gives genuine
satisfaction to the Republicans here.
The news of President Harrison'S
triumph was joyfully r eeeived by the OcCu-
pants Of the White House. Mrs. Harrison.
on account of her illness, has not been kept
well Informed on the political situation,
but the President intended tonight that he
would disclose the result to her himself.
He is holding big reception Of his pOliti-
cal friends at the White House tonight,
and the rooms are crowded with party Of
friends who have come to offer their con-
gTatulations.
The Democrats do not deny that they
were disappointed in Blaine's defeat, and
they admit that Harrison is much the
stronger of the two.
Representative Loud, the only Republi-
can Representative from California now in
Washingt ton, declares that Harrison is
stronger before the country than Blaine,
and that the President will carry California.
Oregon and Washington with ease. The
Republi here do not agree with Mr.. De
Young in his declaration that Harrison may
not carry California.
Whitelaw Reid's name will be great
help to the Republicans in New York State,
say the politicians, and this the Democrats
admit. Il is understood that Vice-Presi-
dent Morton did not desire denomination.
Mrs. Morton is desirous Of going to Europe
for prolonged stay.
The attendance on the floor Of the House
this afternoon was larger than at any pre-
vious time during the convention. A large
black board was placed on the clerk desk,
and as fast as the bulletins were re-
ceived they were read by the read
ing clerk and each vote recorded on
the board. The friends of the President
applauded loudly when the result was
known. 1t is difficult to get the views of
great number Of members on the nomina-
ton. In most cases the Republican men,
bers expressed lacOnically their satisfaction
with the result, and Democrats also gener-
ally said they were pleased.
