Wade Hampton, of South Carolina,
Commissioner of Railroads.
AHIGH HONOR TO HAMPTON.
Especial to News and Courier.[
WASHINGTON, March 2u,-General
Wade Hampton is the first South Caro-
linian to receive substantial recogni-
tion from the new Administration. AS
predicted exclusively in these dis
patches the President to-day nomi-
mated Gen. Hampton for commissioner
of railroads. Within twenty minutes
after Gen. Hampton's nomination was
presented to the Senate be was con-
firned. His nomination was not even
referred to committee. Not a murmur
was raised against him, and tonight
he is receiving the congratulations of
his friends.
The correspondent of The News and
Courier had the pleasure of conveying
to Gen. Hampton the first intelligence
of his nomination and confirmation.
The General was at the Metropolitan
Hotel, and just about to start to the
Capitol to see Gen. German in behalf
of some South Carolina friend. The
General expressed his qualification at
Cuc pIOupG duO SoiDplluChtdIJ oSl!Ou
upon his nomination. Gen. Hampton
has visited the President several times
since the 4th of March, but on no oc-
casion did he ever intimate that be
would like position under the new
Administration. The recognition he
received to-day comes entirely un-
sought, and it is all the more gratifying
because it was practically decided upon
a few days after Mr.. Cleveland's eIec-
tion.
I happen to know that letter to
President Cleveland, bearing the en-
dorsement of all of the Republican and
Democratic Senators, was prepared,
and it would have been forwarded to
its destination but for the intervention
of Gen. Hampton. While he appre-
ciated the great compliment intended
by his former associates, be said be
would rather have the letter for his
own personal qualification than have it
presented to the President. Hence the
letter was never forwarded to the Pre-
sident.

The salary of the Commissioner of
Railroads is 81 800. He has numbe
of clerks, and the duties are of a plea
SAINT nature. This is the first appoint
ment made from South Carolina under
the present administration; and 1t is
well that the first appointment should

The detectives are looking for Miss

ner corresponding with her surname.
On the afternoon mentioned the woman,
who was rather poorly dressed so as to
better carry out her scheme, visited the
stores of Field, Mailer q Co., Schune-
mann q Evans and Michael Mealey,
and purchased small bills of goods. At
each of the stores she presented check
Tor S25, purpOrtlng to be signed by G. S.
Engelbrecht, contractor at CSC Wa
basha, and made payable to Herman
Ease.
The young lady explained that she
was a daughter of Herman Ease, 10
whom the check was made payable,
and if the check were cashed she would
pay for her purchase. which in each
instance was under IS. She said she
lived with her father at 90 South Wa
basha street, and by her talk succeeded
in working off one of the checks in each
store. Yesterday the checks came back
marked "NO funds" and Mr.. Engel-
Drecht, whose name was signed to each

A visit to the number given by the
woman on South Wabasha street re-
suited in the discovery that the house
was unoccupied. The police have been
notified of the three firms mentioned
being caught, and it is reported that
other firms were also victimized.

Send in Your Watchword and
Motto for American Youth.
CHICAGO. July 21.-At the worlds
youths congress, held this week, the
delegates were asked to each hand in
his or her choice of Watchword and
motto to be recommended for adoption
by the youth Of the world, especially by
the schools represented by the 1000 or
more young people actually present at
the gathering. They did this, but to-
day it was discovered that sad accident
befelI the precious bits of paper. Pend
ing the action of the committee that
was to make selection of the best one,
the janitor, supposlng that they
were waste paper, threw them into
the refuse fire. The committee
now desires that, so far as the young
people who were present may be
reached through the press, they will
send to the secretary, f. Frederick Bliss,
art institute, Chicago, the choice they
then made. The committee also extends
the invitation to all young people who
were eligible to delegateship in the con-
gress-that is. in all students between
thirteen and twenty-One in any institu-
ton of learning. The watchword is to
consist of but one word, and the motto
not to exceed ten. Every one thus send
ing should give name and pOstoffice ad-
dress. AS soon as practicable the COM
mittee will make selection of the best
and make public the result.
There was no lessening of interest at
the education congresses today. In the
congress of higher education. presided
over by DR.. Henry Wade Rogers, of the
Northwestern university, Prof. Waet-
Zold. of the University of Berlin, and
Prof. FinkIer, of the University of
Bonn. made addresses on the German
! educational system.
After Prot. Finkler had concluded,
| Mr.. Kappes, IAN Indianapolis teacher,
arose in the audience and discussed the
| German schools as compared with
| the American. He said he was a
| native of Germany, but had taught many
years in this country. The teacher in
| Germany is an important person." said
the speaker. "What is he here? If he
| offendS the committeeman or his politics
| is not right his head falls. The teachers
| Of this country should band themselves
| together and secure legislation which
| will improve their condition"
! Brother Ambrose. of the Christian
| Brothers, made a notable address, the
| keynote of which was the assertion that
spiritual training should be part of
education, and that education so con-
| Quoted was success.

porter stepped inside, he looked up

he said, ''of remarks that are being
made because keep Bomberger here.
They talk as if l ought to send him
back OH my own responsibility. They
forget that he is here under commit

pense have been to if they would take

ALenuthv Meeting.

PITTsBURG, Kan, July 21.-The min
ers and strip pit men held meeting i'll
this city this afternoon, which was ad
dressed by President Walters, OF the
miners association. Large Numbers
of shaft miuers were present, but
they were requested to leave, and
only the shaft men who are members
of the executive board of the mine
workers were allowed To remain. The
session lasted the entire afternoon, and
it was decided TO call a delegate cOnVen-
ton of the strip pit men TO meet i'll
Pitts5urg next Monday to decide wheth
er or not they will come out with the
shaft strikers.
President Walters this evening stated
that five men, representing themselves
to be cowhoys, were placed on guard
duty in Cherokee county today, but the
sheriff of that county disarmed them.
He further stated that his ;voice would
always be for peace, and If any riot oc-
Cured il would be against his wishes.
The warrants sworn out for Walters OH
the charge of treSSpasS have hot been
served.
IL is said that Gen. Perry Daniels, of
Kansas state militia, has been ordered
to make his headquarters at Pittsburg,
but he has not yet made his appearance
here. The Kansas IL Texas Coal
company shipped arms to Weir City
and Litchfield last night to arm their
guards at those places. 1t is the opin-
ion here that if the Arkansas and Mis-
souri, miners do not come to the relief of
the Kansas miners the strike will be
quickly broken, but the strikers say
these states will certainly help them.
At Litchfield the situations remains
the same. Tie men pay no attention to

METROPOLIS, ILL.,. July 21.-The most
shocking double murder aud suicide
that ever occurred in this section took
place in this city this evening, when
Richard Shoemaker killed Richard
Lukens Jr. and George Lukens, seri-
OOSly wounding their father, Richard,
and then suicided by sending a bullet
iuto his own body. All the parties were
men of high social standing in this city,
and were well known throughout
Southern Illinois and in Kentucky.
Richard Lukens Jr. married ShOemak-
er's stepdaughter, Miss Lillian Jones,
some three years ago. Shoemaker was
Miss Jones' guardian, and upon her
marriage he was called on for an ac-
counting. Seemingly he had run
through with a large sum left her by
her father. Suits were brought in the
courts and bitter feeling resulted. Re
Gently piano ill Mrs. LukenS' posses
sion was sold by Shoemaker, and on its
removal hot words were exchanged.
This evening Shoemaker, armed with
two large revolyerS, walked uL to Rich
ard LukenS Jr.'s gate, and, finding the
two young men standing In the yard,
opened fire, shooting George in the right
temple and then sending a bullet
through Richards heart, as he was hold
ing his babe i'll his arms. Shoemaker
then entered the yard and fired shot
after shot into the quivering bodies.
Richard LukenS ST., hearing the firing,
ran to the scene of the trouble, only to
be met by the murderer, who opened
fire on him, shooting him in the thigh.
By this time crowd was gathering,
and Shoemaker ran couple of squares
and then, sitting down, sent bullet
INTO his abdomen and was dead in few
moments. Shoemaker was about forty
years of age and leaves a wife and two
children. The Lukeus boys were aged
about twenty-eight and thirty. Both
had wives and each one child. Shoe
maker had been preparing himself all
day, and this afternoon showed bag
of cartridges to a friend, asking. in a
nonchalant manner, if they would kill
man.

DULUTH, Mlnn., July 21.-William
Craig and John Clark, residents of
Lakeside, had a terrible experience
yesterday, and only one of the men,
John Clark, lives to tell the tale. About
9 o'clock in the morning the two started
out from Lester to row across the lake
to the south shore, where they intended
to fish. Their course kept them about
six or seven miles out from Minnesota
Point. They had hardly been out more
than an hour before quick squall came
up and overturned the boat. The water
was icy cold. but for hours they clung
to the boat. Craig finally dropped off,
but Clark cannot remember just when.
The latter managed to get up OH the
boat and floated around until l O'Clock
this morning, when it washed ashore,
not far from Lester. He was terribly
chilled and benumbed with cold, but
managed to turn his boat over, get the
water out and row down the shore till
opposite his home. He dragged him
self up to his house and fell uncon-
scious at the doorstep. lie was found
and taken in, and for some time his con-
dition was considered critical. Craig
was unmarried, about thirty years old,
and lived with his mother at Lakeside.

outbreak has occurred today, but 1t Is
looked for tomorrow. At an early hour
this morning large meeting was held
at Bakers hail. Noah Allen, eX.attor

addressed the strikers at some length,
deprecating violence.
Another large meeting OF the strlk kerS
was held in the old school building. but

of Clements men went back to their
pits and got the remains of their

tiOn of driving out the men guarding
these properties. After hanging around
the mines for some time the crowd
gradually dispersed. The mob of strik-
ers consisted chiefly of French and
Belgians, women as well as men. The
men at the shafts were we'll armed and
determined, and 4 conflict there would
have been a bloody one. Sheriff

No VERDICT,
Noted Murder Trial in California
Without Result.

without Result
FRESNO, Cal, July 2l.-tor two days
there has been intense excitement here
while the people awaited the verdict of
the jury in the case of Richard Heath,
charged with the murder of Louis Bt
McWhirter. The Jury has been out
since yesterday morning, and late this
afternoon was discharged, as no verdict
could be found. The jury stood ten for
murder in the first degree, one for mur-
der in he second degree, and one for
acquittal.
The crime for which Heath was tried
was most sensational. Louis Nc
" hirter, prominent lawyer and poll
tician of Fresno, was called into his
yard one night last August and shot.
McWhirter's friends claimed he had
been murdered for political reasons,
while others said it was suicide. His
life was insured for $4,000, and the in
Surance companies refused to pay ihe
policies on the ground that he had COM
mitted suicide. For many months no
progress was made in unraveling the
mystery until last April. when Richard
Heath, son of the late Gen. Heath, was
arrested on chrrge of murder. Heath's
family Is a very prominent one in the
state, but the young man had been of
diSSOlute habits.
