KILLED WITH AN AXE.

Horrible Murder In MiddIetoxvn-
Richard Mead Was Slain by Ris
Step-Father.
MIDDDETowN, May 3.-Shortly after 2
O'Clock tonight Richard Mead, aged thirty,
living at 80 Portland street, was found in
bedroom of the house dead and terribly
hacked with an axe. He had been muir
dered by his step-father, Patrick Con-
roy, about midnight last night.
John Barry, a telegraph boy, entered
police headquarters this evening and said
that his cousin, Richard Mead, had not
been seen and his relatives did not know
where he was. Policeman Kinkaid imme-
diately went to the house where Conroy
and Mead had been living together alone.
When he entered the house he found Con-
roy in the kitchen evidently preparing to
20 away, as he had in his hand grip
which he had just packed and locked.
The officer asked him, "Where is Richie
Meadr Gin there" he replied, pointing
to the adjoining bedroom. The officer en-
tered and saw body lying on the floor
covered with quilt. AS he pulled off
the covering horrible sight met his eye.
The dead mans body and head were terri
Oily cut ana bruised by some snarp 1nstru-
ment:: The floor of the room was covered
with blood, as was sofa near by, where
the body had evidently been laid. Behind
a door in the room was found the weapon
with which the crime was committed, an
ordinary short-handle axe. 1t had been
covered with blood, part of which had
afterward been washed away.
Conroy was placed under arrest and
locked up. He admitted that there had
been a fight, but said he only struck his
step son with stick.

Wall Street Last Night, and an Un-

Clerks Busy Over Their Books
Rumors of Bank Failures.
NEW YORK, May 3-Wall street to- night
presents an unusual scene. Lights are
cleaning from scores of Offices where
clerks are busy over their books. The
day was troublous one for the specula-
tor. There was one failure, Albert H.
Wheeler, a Groom trader" but he cut so
small figure that his dropping out of the
market was scarcely noticed.
There Is talk Of failures tomorrow, be-
cause 1t is well understood that liquida-
tons have occurred In consequence of the
calling in Of loans by various banks on in
dustrisl stocks. Many sensational rumors
were put adoat. It is known, however,
that some of the concerns mentioned as
being in difficulty have really profted by
the recent decline In prices.
S. V. White told United Press report
er that he had $3.50, 900 to use in carrying
his stocks and he could 60 through the
present crisis with equanimity.
At late hour it was rumored that at
least one, and possibly two, national banks
was found that the stories were without
foundation.
Nevertheless, an uneasy feeling prevailed
and brokerage concerns are disposed to
keep their affairs in snug shape pending a
solution of the questions which have led
the serious depression in values during
the past week or two.

REPUBLICAN PARTY POLICY.


To BE Mapped Out by the Coming Big
Assembly In Louisville.
WASHINGTON, May 8 The republicans
are counting on great gathering at Louis
vile one week from to-day, when the
national committee, all the clubs belong
log to the National lesgue, and all the col
lege clubs, are to come together and dis
cuss the situation. 1t is asserted by men
who presumptively will be called upon to
shape the business Of the meeting, that 1t
will not content itself with any perfunctory
work, but will take an aggressive stand
and map out the policy of the party for
the coming four years. Protection, they
say, will be the party watchword still, and
they profess to believe that the democrats
will make enough errors to cause the re-
turn of the republican party to power at
the end of the present administration.
The preparations are all in order for the
starting of Republican weekly newspaper
in Washington just as soon as the presi-
dent calls an extra session of congress.
The idea is to keep a sharp eye out for all
the dissensions between the democratic
leaders, and seizs upon every pretext to
widen the breach. It is desired also to
pick flaws In the democratic work on the
tariff and on silver legislation, and send out
and at the White House. 1t is not definitely
known who will be In charge of the enter
prise, but the signs point to Thomas q.
Mckee, who is a veteran compiler of pro-
tectionist statistics and author of some of
the most widely spread campaign docu-
ments used by the republican committees
in past canvasses.

PORTLAND, Ore, May 3.-Sscretary of

despatch from Washington to Governor
Pennoyer at Salem, Oregon:
apparently reliable reports indicate
danger of violence to Chinese when exclu-

hopes you will employ all lawful means for
their protection in Oregon"

Governor Pennoyer speaking to report
or said:
"The Gresham telegram is an insult to
Oregon. I will enforce the laws of the

force the state law while he, without war

THE IDEAL CHURCH.

The Rev. w. H. johnson Tells Before
the Universalist Convention What
1t Will be-Rev. Joseph May Says
Many Political Leaders are Scoun-
drels.
WASHINGTON, May 3.-Ths Universalist
convention was opened with prayer this
morning. Several papers were read in the
morning and after collation. the conference
resumed its session at $50 p. m. After
the transaction of unimportsnt business
paper on "Good Citizenship" was read by
Rev. Joseph May of Philadelphia. He said
in part:
"The coed citizen will apply to public
questions the same moral principle which
he respects in moral life. His first demand
will hsfor honesty in politics. Here, too,
we see progress. Many of our leaders are
still great scoundrels, but they are known
as such, and it begins to hurt them. But
it does not hurt them enough.
"The frst work of good citizenship to-
day Ia to run down those knaves, and
especially to take from the political classes
the vast resources which present methods
put into their hands. The public business
should be conducted on business princi-
pies. In its dealings with all others, q
great nation will be as honorable and just
as an upright private man. The unifca-
ton of all people is plainly the divine
| ideal"
A paper on ''The Ideal Church" wai
read by the Rev. W. d. johnson, in which
he said: "Her doors will swing wide oper
for all the sons of men, without distinction
of belief or so called unbelief, since Greco
will have nothing to do with determining
the qualifications for admission therein
Then first will be realized the ancient tes
of catholicity, "Qued Semper Unique
alb omnibus, ",,but by process. quite the re
verse of the theological. Her fellowship
will be based simply and frankly upol
humanity.
"The Ideal church will be sbsolutel,
democratic. She will set human freedom
and the fullest developments of the in
dividual above all other considerations
The old league between the church ant
the secular authority that has subsiste
since Constxntine's evil day, will be abro
gated. The church will oppose putin
"gold into the constitution" and wi
favor the abolition of the Sunday law
and of all legislation directed to the or
forcement of religious belief.
"She will espouse the peoples cause an
help them fight their battle against ever
form of opposition. She will throw he
whole weight on the side Of the weak an
will insist on even handed justice"

Many Have PerIshed.
URBANA, O., May 3.-The greatest
calamity that ever came to the people in
Logan and Hardin counties was that of
last night, when the Lewiston reservoir
broke, letting forth an immense food of
water. The break was in the northeast
corner of the reservoir, where waste way
$50 feet in length is located. A break 200
feet wide occurred and the water came
rushing down in food ten feet deep and
three miles wide, completely submerging
the country around and carrying every
thing in It's way. The big covered bridge
$50 feet in length was swung completely
round and then torn loose and swept away
In the course of the flood stood the
houses of Jack Smith and William De-
vault and q large number of tenement
houses and squatters' and bachelors
homes. All these are submerged, though
everybody managed to escape from the
danger. People fled in terror from their
homes, while the swift food rushed on
down the valley. The first town along the
course of the flood is Port Jefferson, where
the dam threw the water into the Miami
SoA01. a POAeioa VI lac toWh ~"
and it was badly flooded. Quincy, Lo-
Evansville, Degraff, Piqus, Troy and Day
ton are also in the course of the food.
The artificial bank of the reservoir is
five miles around and most of the way
fully twenty feet above the land and the
bottom of the reservoir itself Is at least
ten feet above the immediate country be-
low. The water averaged ten feet deep
over the whole reservoir, 20 some idea can
be formed of the great volume that came
rushing down on the country below. The
reservoir is Eve miles northeast of Hunts
vile, and contains twelve thousand acres
of water.
Hundreds of families left their homes
and fed out of the reach of the torrent.
So far no loss of life has been reported,
but when the floods subside 1t will likely
be revealed that more than one unfortun-
ate persisted.
PORTSMOUTH, O., May 3.-The Scioto
river at some points is over two miles
wide. In Scioto county the main damage
is the flooding of bottom farms just plant
ed in corn, necessitatiug replanting. A

swept away. Near Bigby the largest iron
bridge in Pike county was swept away
while the N. & w. railway reports the
track badly damaged. A number of small
bridges have been destroyed or damaged.
