commerce, and III the event Of any seem
ing injustice being done TO shippers by the
ralroad companies transporting the oil an
appeal could be had TO the interstate COM
mission az Washington. If the pier is IN

must be had to the Pennsylvania courts,
in which, because of the failure of the

the result might be more uncertain

distance is about 5000 miles. Major

Ex-President Cleveland, it is announced,
has consented to speak at Providence, K.
l., in behalf of the Democratic candidates
for governor and other state offices. The
election will be held On the 7th of April,
and spirited canvass is in progress. As
the independent vote IS u potent factor in
Rhode Island politics, and the cause of
tariff reform has made great progress there
in the last year or two, it is thought Mr..
Cleveland's participation in the campaign
will have marked effect. He is not only
stronger than any other man in the esteem
of New England Democrats but retains
bis hold upon the independent element.

EVIDENCE OF HILLS TREACHERy.
The Charge That He Diokered With
Quay in 1888.

A Telegram From Quay, in Which He Is
Said 10 Have Mentioned Hill and De-
cIarcd That New York Would be Surely
Republican.
BOWLING GREEN, KY. March 29.-Tbe
Third district Republican convention, to
select delegates to the Minneapolis conven-
ton, was in session here to-day, and repre-
sentative Republicans from all over the
district are ia attendance. One of them,
Il. X. Weir, Jr., who is prominent mem
Der of his party from the county Of
Muhlenberg, made n statement this morn
ing to Il well-known lawyer and Democrat
of this city, which gives color TO the ac-
cusation against David b. Hill TO the effect
that he was traitor TO Mr.. Cleveland in
the last Presidential election, and that he
traded the state to the Republicans.
Weir is reported us saying that, on the
occasion of the big Hunter rally at Green
vile on the Saturday before the Presiden-
tial election, a telegram was received from
Senator NJ. s. Quay, stating that decker
had been made with Hill, by means of
which the state of New York was to he al
lowed to go for Harrison, and that the Re-
publicans of the Third district must carry
it by all means.
Mr.. Wier was found by the Times CORE
spondent in the Morehead House lobby.
In answer to question as to the truth of
the report, he said:
II don't care to say anything about that,
because don't want to get in any contro-
versy and do not want my name mem
toned. But II is fact that at the big
Hunter rally at Greenville on the Satur-
day before the Presidential election a
telegram was received from Senator Quay
which at least said that arrangements had
been made, and it could be set down as
dead sure that New York was Republican
for President"
"lsn't it fact that Mr.. Hill was men
toned in the telegram ~
"Yes, he was, but don't care going into
that. Mr.. Quay might not like It."
who got the telegram from Quay ~
81 must not tell you that, but it is still
existence"
Ex-Congressman W. G. Hunter denied
that he had personally received the tele-
gram described, but not that such one
was received.

A Terrible Array of Crime Traced to Two
Brothers in Poland.

Br0thers in Poland.
WARSAW, March 2s.--Police inquiries
into the case Of two brothers named Koulk-
vosky, who are imprisoned here on the
charge Of numbering and robbing peasant
near liielostock. have revealed the practice
of the wholesale murder of emigrants on
the frontier. Already the naked bodies of
five victims have been discovered in the
snow in the woods adjacent to the house
occupied by the Koulikyoskys, ands the
police estimate that the two brothers have
murdered at least 4Qpcrsons.
now THE VICTIMS WERE TRAPPED.
The way in which the Koulikvoskys
carried on their murderous work is briefly
told as follows. The younger brother had
been soldier in the Russian army, and
was well acquainted with every path on
the frontier. Emigrants DESTROYS of leav.

The victims would be taken in charge of
by the younger brother and singularly
they would be conducted along u narrow
path through dense forest. In the mean
time, the elder brother would hurry by
snort route to Il spot previously agreed
upon, and when the victim approached ho
would be attacked by his guide and the
man who lay III ambush. The unfortu-
nate would be strangled, and then, to
make their work sure the brothers would
beat in his skull with clubs. He would be

But this was not the only way they had
Of securing victims. The wife of the elder
brother would indulge in flirtations with
strangers, who came to Monki, and would
make engagements for them to visit her at
her home. She is comely, buxom woman
and admirers would hasten at night TO her
house only to meet death at the hands of
the husband and his brother, who waited
their coming.
POURED BOILING WATER on ONE.

DANGEROUS DECEPTIONS.
Newberry Herald and News.

The resolution adopted by the majority Of
the County Democratic Executive Committee
on Monday, calling for separate conventions
of Tlllmanltes and Anti-Tillmanites A TO NOM
mate delegates to the State Convention In
September, is an inSidouS effort TO leGaliZe,
under the sanction OF otficia authority, and
under the nuI hority of the whole Democracy
of the county, Il system already 1naugurated
by the TiIlmanite leaders, which II carried
out Will he fatal TO Democratic unity, ANA
which Is in itself irreconcilably opposed TO
the principles of the Democratic party.
1t means, in the first place. that the DEM
ocratic Party OF NewOerry County Is not only
not a unit, but is merely Il temporary conuec-
ton between two separate and distinct par
ties; that u club Is not single organization,
but that 1t may embrace Two very ulstlnct Or
ganiZatlons; that each faction Of Democrats
IN the county may and ought to hold sepa-
rate conventions, each of which conventions
may bind every one VINO takes part In IL
either BY sitting as u delegate or oy assisting
in sending Il delegate 10 1t: that one set OF
Democrats may hold meetings from which all
other Democrats must be excluded: II these
principles are To hold 1t will be foolish 10 talk
OF the Democracy OF the county as one organ
ization: they really declares that there are
two separate parties going under the same
name, and there Is now only sort OF league
between them which either one may dissolve
al its pleasure.
But the object of the resolution Is. II possi-
be- more objectionable than It's underlying
principles. IL has been found by certain
bosses that the small caucusses, held at
Wicker's Hall and elsewhere, to prepare tick
cts Tor the average Tillmanite to vote, are not
exactly palatable To the plain men who are
not invited 10 the caucus, and that those
plain men out in the country are beginning
10 kick. So this new scheme Is Matched up,
which has the appearance OF u grand caucus,
open TO all the faithful, while in reality u Is
but the same old arrangement 10 nave the
mass Of Tillmans followers TO swallow,
adopt, endorse and stand by u ticket prepared
in advance by the leaders. Does any man
doubt that those leaders will fail to carry
into the so-called Tillmante convention a
slate already arranged amongst themselves?
Does any man suspect that any name not on
with any hope of success? Ii be does, let
him watch those leaders, and he will soon
have abundant evidences Of secret meetings
among those who nave constituted them
selves the guardians of the farmers. II Is the
duty of every Democrat who desires the free
dom Of choice guaranteed by primary cleo
tions, to guard with the utmost care against
THESE dangerous deceptions.
