The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1895-06-20


A Times-Den ocrat special from Vos.
burg, dated Saturday, says: People in
town tonight for a coffin tell of one of
the most diabolical crimes ever COM
mitted in Jasper county. This morn
ing Mr.. Mike Finegan, living about
seven miles from here, left his wife and
19-month-old baby ut his house, going
to his field, mile or more from home.
When he returned home to dinner he
found his wife dead, her head having
been beaten and crushed with a maui.
The little baby was by her side, un-
hurt, and playing with It's mothers
hand. When found the poor woman
was cold apd stiff, indicating that she
had been dead several hours. There
is no known clue to lead to the MUIR
derer, but twenty or more indignant
citizens are searching the country,
while Dett ctive John Horne, of Merid-
len, has been telegraphed to bring his
bloodhounds, and all efforts will be
used to run the assassin iown. A gun
and suit of clothes we're stolen from
the house. Justice +. l.. Bufkin has
gone to the scene tonight for the pur-
pose of holding an inquest.

ABI-SrETAnro- LEAGUE
within the Hanks Of Democracy-A
Result OF the Memphis Meet.

After the free silver convention ha6
adjourned at Memphis several promi
nent Democrats came together and In
augurated a movement looking to The
formation Of a silver organization with
in the lines Of the Democratic party
There we're present at the meeting the
Democratic senator's and others who
were there attending the silver conven.
ton. Senators Harris, Jones and Tur.
pie we're named as o committee to Sc
leCt members of a national executive
committee, consisting Of one man from
each State. Senator Harris said to a
mes-Democrat reporter: "The league
will be purely a Democratic organiza.
tion, formed for tho purpose Of secur-
ing a perfect organization of the silver
Democrats in the country for the pur-
pose Of controlling the utterances OF
the next national Democratic conven-
tion upon the financial question.
have no doubt that the great majority
Of the people are in favor Of free coin
age, but unless they organize it will be
impossible for them TO mako the next
platform. Gold men have leisure;
they have little else to do besides pre-
pairing for conventions, and it is there
fore possible that while our people are
busy in their fields and workshops a
very small, but powerful organization
of our opponents might go to the coun-
ty and State conventions, control them
and in SO doing lay the plan for con-
trolling the national convention and
there, by very well-organized minor
ity, would be able to defeat the disor-
ganized majority. 1t is to defeat that
that we propose to organize this
American Bi-Metalic League. None
but delegates favoring silver coinage
will be sent to county conventions,
none but silver men will then go to the
State conventions and, finally, none
but pronounced advocates Of the white
metal will be in the national conven-
ton"
''You clearly understand" put in
Senator Jones, ''that this movement is
strictly in the lines of the Democratic
party, and we want the country to
clearly understand that The organi-
zation Of silver advocates in an inde-
pendent body, without partisan char
acter, cannot have the effect Of giving
organized strength to silver Democrats
in a sense that will enable them to con-
troll the sending of their delegates to
the various conventions. An organiza-
ton within the lines of the Democratic
party, like the one now promoted, is
absolutely essential to the success Of
the issue in our next national conven-
ton"
Senator Harris also emphasized the
fact that the National Bi-Metalic
League was to be Democratic orga-
nization.

bROokHAvEK,


Robert Cooke, an Illinois Central
brakeman, was found dead near Mont
gomery Friday morning. The suspi.
clon first held that he was murdered
and then thrown under the car wheels,
appears to be fully confirmed by evi-
dencc taken before the coroner's jury.
The testimony taken at the coroner't
inquest developed the following facts:
That two tramps boarded freight No.
81, on which Cooke was braking, at
Hammond, La, and that he Lad made
two or more efforts between that place
and where he was found dead to eject
them from the train. The brakeman
on the caboose testified that he saw
two unknown men leaving the train
when it reached Montgomery. Cookies
position on the train was that Of head
brakeman. Two pools of blood were
found on some lumber in the coal car
where Cooke was last seen. The dead
man was found about daylight by the
crew of local gravel engine which ran
mp to the Montgomery track from
Brokhaven to get water, and it seems
was not missed by the conductor and
crew on the freight until telegram of
inquiry was sent to the conductor at
Crystal Springs after the body was
found. A bloody coal pick was found
about 100 yards north of where the
dead mans boCy was found, and fifty
yards further along his coat was picked
mp, indicating that Just before the
train reached the water tank at Mont
gomery the murdered mans body had
been thrown overheard by the murder
ers, then the pick and lastly the coat.
