southeastern portion of this town at A
a IN. Ben Burton, white man, has
been running a little family grocery
at the edge of Negrotown for some
time. Although his store was small it
was generally known that he kept
money there Yesterday morning he
remarked that he had $500 where he
could put his hands on it any time.
This morning about 4 o'clock some one
called at the front door and wanted to
get in to get something to eat
Burton slept on a cot in
the rear of the store. He got
up, and from appearances set down
two cans of potted meat. Then it is
supposed he went behind the counter
aud stopped down to get something,
when he was shot in the back of the
head with q large pistol. He was
found Immediately after the report in
this position by party who slept in
an adjoining house. A man by the
name of VIM has been ar.

PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS.
In State Convention They Endorse President
Cleveland and His Administration,

HARRISBURG, Sept. 10.-The Demo-
cratic state convention formed by the
election of John Il. Lanahan, chair
man. He made brief speech and
standing committees were announced.
The platform indorses the principles
and leadership which gave the victory
of 1902, declares in favor of taxation
only for the purposes of government
economy administered and for honest,
money, endorses the administration,
approves the action of the house in
passing the Wilson bill, calls upon
senators from Pennsylvania to give
support to such legislation as may in
sure prompt and unconditional repeal
of that law, favors currency of gold
and silver coin, treasury and bank
notes, sufficient for the business needs
of the country and insists that it shall
at all times be kept at parity.
Also contains the following: The
Democratic administration left $780,
000 900 surplus in the federal treasury.
the Republican successor in four years
converted this into deficiency OF $780,
100000 We declare that the distui bed
financial condition Of the country has
followed the Republican administra-
ton and the business depression has
resulted from vicious legislation for
which the Republican party is solely
responsible. To correct and relieve
these the Democratic president and
Democratic congress are pledged, and
their efforts in that direction are en-
titled to the support Of patriotic citi-
zens regardless OF party. The def
cheney in the revenues of the federal
government is the direct result of the
Mckinney tariff act and prompt re-
vision Of the tariff is rendered abso-
lutely necessary. The efforts Of the
federal administration in regard to.
pensions is also cordially approved.

DALLAS, Sept. 1S.-The city council

is understood the suspended city col
lector will resign. If so an election
will be ordersd in 10 days and a whole
host of applicants will be in
the field. Mayor Conner and
party returned from the
Worlds fair this evening. The short
age is less than $4,000, and was caused
by iCdulging large taxpayers, from
whom he took due bills in settlement
of taxes instead of cash. and when the
pinch come he had to make good their
shortcomings. In order to secure the
city from loss he and his wife
decided to S. F. Morgan, bookkeeper
for W. J. Betterton & Co., the follow
ing property, occupied as homestead
and valued at $4,000: Lot 2, block 1893,
and block 1, Legar & Robinson's addi-
too. s. F. Morgan then conveyed the
same property in trust to City Treas
urer Crutcher to secure a note
for $500, payable in Ma CHI,
1894. s. T. Morgan also conveyed to
the same trustee to secure notes for
$4,000, one lot near Okard and Poca-
bontas and Blakeney. The combined
value of the property conveyed TO Sc
cure the city is about $12, 600 and is
amply sufficient to cover the shortage.

should chattel and crop mortgages be
closed to day except for urgent rea-
son. But, on the other hand, farmers
should not expect all the sacrifices
to be made by the merchant.
His arrangements with his creditors
have been made and based on the
faith that the farmer would meet his
obligations when due, and any failure
so to do may cause, not only great loss,
but it may be ruin to the merchant.
1t is, therefore, just that each should
regard the interest of the other and
give all the accommodations consistent
with their own security. The farme;
who is out of debt can, of course, do as
he pleases.

THE STACY GOLD BULLION,
The mysterious disappearance of
Sl34, 900 gold bullion from the Phiia-

money was stolen by Weigh Clerk
Henry w. Cochran, who for the last
three or four years has been abstract
ing gold bars by means of rake from
under the door of the vaults. He &C.
cured $l94, 900, and up to this tirue
$104, 900 has been restored by Cochran
and the reason the treasury officials
will not talk is because they hope to
get back the other $94, 1000.

SENATE.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-This morn,
ing Senator Voorhees, again sought tc
obtain from the opponents of repeal
some information as to when vote
would be had on the repeal bill
The effort elected no more in.
formation than did the former
one although Senator Teller
who spoke for the silver men, said
their opinion on the subject would
soon be given.
Senator PETER offered a resolution
(Which went over) instructing the
committee on interstate commerce to
inquire If any, and if so, what legisla-
ton was necessary to prevent the in
terluption of interstate railway traffic
by persons and to punish such persons
guilty of robbery and murder com.
mitted on Interstate railway trains.
The repeal bill was then taken up
and Senator Allison rep, Iowa.; adj
dressed the senate. He favored the
coinage of every dollar of silver in the
treasury as soon as practicable. He
favored the use of sixty millions seig-
norage now in the treasury to main
tain parity between the two metals
He said the Brussels conference made
more progress respecting the solution
of the silve question than
was made at all prior conferences.
If the United States would
undertake the policy of restoring
it would be accomplished within a
reasonable time, the parity between
the two metals he restored and silver
practically be rehabilitated. That
was the solution of the question.
Senator Hill asked whether the
repeal of the purchasing clause would
facilitate or hind the perfection of
such international agreement.
Senator Allison replied that that
was matter ofjudgment. 1t must be
made to appear to the nations of the
world that the United states did not
mean to take care of silver.
This was salient point. Senator AL
lison said he had no doubt public
opinion in Europe was that confer
ence should be assembled to deal it'll
the question and in that statement he
did not exclude England.
After memorial service in honor of
the late Senator Stanford, the senate
adjourned.

bill. led by Mr.. Burrows mich was
Immediately resumed. The tactics of
the two previous days were followed.
Mr.. Burrows forced the house to
vote by motion to dispense with the
call of committees. The Republicans,
with Tracey and other Democrats, de-
clined to vote and succeeded in break
ing the quorum.
At 12:45 the house adjourned.
