SAN FRANCISCO, March 15.-The lead
ers of the local Democracy turned out in
force last night to welcome two noted Tam

were accompanied by their families 1--WE

as the dispatches seem to intimate. There
was only one district In New York in which
election frauds occurred, and that was in
Judge Divvor's district. Mr.. Phelan is
dock inspector and 1 a contractor.
Neither OF us fear the closest investigation
or the political methods of our districts"
Mr.. Crimmins stated further that Richard
Croker would probably arrive in this city
tonight in his car, together with his fam
fly. Police Justice VIM. II. Burke Tam

New York. is also expected to arrive this
evening. we are here to visit the fair

THROWN OUT OF COURT.
Judge Liebecker Grants q Nonsuit i'm
the Roster Case.

MADISON, Wis, March 15.-This after
noon Judge Liebecker granted a nonsuit in
the celebrated Roster suit against Governor
Peck and other State officials. An appeal
was at once taken to the Supreme Court
by the plaintiffs and a decision is not ex-
pected before next fall. The court, in
throwing the case out of court, said that
the evidence of the intention CT the defend
ants to defraud the State was not material
to the claim Of conspiracy TO defraud the
plaintiffs. If any conspiracy was shown
the testimony of the plaintiffs showed that
they were aware of it, and, therefore,
titled to no relief in court.
The suit was begun by Tracey, Gibbs &
Co., printers. and George and Robert
Down, capitalists, to recover $1,000. The
Roster printing contract was let to the
Madison Times for $4,000, and the Govern
or's private secretary, c. l.. Clark, virtual
owner of the Times, sold an interest in the
contract for $4,000 The State printer, who
said he could do the job for $4,000, COM
PEELED the Governor to give the contract TO
him, and Clark paid to the plaintiffs only
5000 of the money he had received from
them. The plaintiffs claim they were de-
frauded, but the court implies, as they ap-
parently knew an $4,000 contract was being
let for $57, 600, and were to share in the prof
its, they were entitled to no relief.

CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.
Wait Removed Members of Boards
md Disregnrded IniunctiOns.

DENVER, Col. March 15.-Since
o'clock this morning the city has been with
out protection from the criminal classes.
The causes leading up to this state of af-
fairs are as follows: Governor Waite has
been changing the personnel Of the city fire
and police board from time to time. os-
tensibly for cause, but. 1t is claimed, for
political purposes purely. This method of
procedure began last June, when George
II. Phelps was removed for alleged neglect
of duty in failing TO prosecute a gambler.
The appointment of E. W. Trimble in his
stead was tested on an appeal to the Su-
preme Court which decided that all ap-
pointments by the Governor are made with
power of suspension removal at any time
for cause, to be stated in writing, but not
for political reasons In the face of this
decision Judge Graham, Of the District
Court, enjoined the recently appointed MEM
bers Of the fire and police board from TAX
ing their seats, although they had been
sworn in. This action the Governor re-
garded as an infringement upon his pre-
negatives, and he accordingly ignored the
injunction. He expressed a willingness to
leave the whole controversy to the Supreme
Court to decide but the removed COM
missioners, who wish to delay final de-
ctSiOn as long as possible, reIuSe 10 consent
to such an arrangement. Counsel for the
old fire and police board claim they are in
full sympathy with the Supreme Court as
TO removals, and that if a writ of custer
was served on the old board through the
court they would vacate instanter. The
question. they say, is merely one Of process
by the courts or by the military.

The Would-Be Siaughterer of Family
Followed and Caught by One Of His
Own Color at Stroudsburg.

STROUDSBURG, Pa, March 15.-Richard
Puryear, the colored desperate who several
weeks ago brutally killed Christian c. Ehler
and tried to murder the entire Ehler fam
lily, was lynched by mob this morning.

About Z o'clock this morning, as Sheriff
Keyes unlocked the Jail door to take break
fast into the prisoners and stepped into the
corridor he noticed that the outer door OF
Puryear's cell was unlocked. At the same
time the prisoner jumped from his hiding
place and sped out Of the open
Jail door, closed it quickly and
locked the sheriff in the Jail. He then
went out through the kitchen Of the jail
building and running across some vacant
lots outside the borough limits.
The sheriff shouted and attracted the atten-
ton of his wife, who unlocked the Jail door
and set him free. A general alarm was
at once sent out, and Immediately pursuit
made of the escaped murderer. AS he had
but rev rect the start or his pursuers
there was no possibility of his getting
away. The desperate man swan Me-
Michaers creek, closely pursued by big
negro, who caught him just as he landed
on the opposite bank. Puryear resisted, but
the sight of a revolver in his captor's hands
caused him to yield quickly. He was then
brought back across the creek where he
was seized by q crowd that had gathered
and was at once lynched. Some one in the
mob had rope, which was quickly at
tached to the limb of a tree and willing
hands dpSnora6O From no
time he escaped from the jail till he was

RHODE ISLAND REPUBLICANS.
ID. Russell Brown Nominated for Gov
ernOr-POints from the Platform.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., March 1.-THE Re
publican State convention met at Infantry
Hall at IL o'clock. Charles Lippincott pre-
sided. Prof Alonzo Williams, OF Brown
University, presented the name of D. Rus
sell Brown as candidate for the govern
orship for reelection, and the nomination
was made unanimous. The platform pre-
pared by Judge Bosworth places the con-
test distinctly on national issues. 1t says:
''The Union preserved and the Nation
saved; its voters and defenders substan-
TALLY and gratefully rewarded, a race
emanclpated and slavery and secession
made impossible; the national credit and
sound currency preserved; the system of
protection to America and Americans which
produced prosperity more marvellous than
the world has ever seen, formulated and
qreathed by the Republican party to the
Nation.
protect the rights and promote the inter-
ests of the American TO this end the
protection system must be preserved. We
denounce as unwise and unpatriotic the
proposed tariff legislation of the Demo-
cratic party. The danger of the passage
of the Wilson bill, has already produced the
most disastrous results. The wheels OF
business have ceased to move, wages have
been reduced, thousands upon thousands
of wage earners are without employment,
and charity now supplies what honest labor
earned until the Democratic party assumed
control. Every measure of the Demo-
cratic party, from the time of it's advocacy
of the cause Of slavery to the present time,
when 1t proposes to destroy the opportu-
nifty to labor at remunerative wages. has
proven antagonistic TO the interests OF la
bor."
The platform rebukes the Democratic pol
Icy in regard to Hawaii and it's attitude on
the financial question, and severely crit
fcfses its pension policy. 1t commends the
attitude OF Governor Brown and the SEN
ate in the recent legislative trouble.
After the nomina tion of Governor, Hon.
u. X. Allen was nominated for Lieutenant
Governor, Charles p. Bennett for Secretary Of
State, E. V. Dubois for Attorney y-general,
and Samuel Clarke for Treasurer. Hon. Z.

convention on national topics. 1t was the

held for years

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. March 15.-Had IL not
been for the vigilance OF the Republicans
in the House to-day ex-Commissloner OF
Pensions Black, Of Illinois, a Democrat,
would have snealxed an amendment into
the sundry civil appropriation bill which
would have deprived ex-Union soldiers
practcing medicine OF the opportunity OF
becoming surgeons and physicians at the
Marion Soldiers Home or any other insti-
tuition OF that character in the country.
Under the law the sugeons at national sol-
diers' homes must be men who have rem
dered service for the country in arms
General Black wanted to amend the law
50 that the boards of governors OF soldiers
homes may exercise their judgment and
employ physicians without regard TO their
military service. The fact is, he wanted
to make IL possible for this administration
TO give out these positions TO Democrats

1t Threatens to Seize the Santa Fe Road
if Refused Free Transportation.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, March 15.-The in
dustrial army received accessions to-day,
bringing it's enlisted force to $50 men. The
situation is liable to become serious here
tomorrow. At IL o'clock in the forenoon
Acting Commander Gould is to receive an
answer from the City Council as to its sue
cess in securing free transportation for the
army over the Santa Fe. The answer is
bound TO be in the Negative, as was learned
from General Manager Wade of the South
ern California road. General O'Brien on
Monday told the council that If the railroad
would not give transportation the army
would take the railroad, and If he tries
TO carry out that threat there will surely
be trouble. The army to-day was busy pre-
pairing for the long journey.
