ceived today indicate that the murder

J. 3. Borden, yesterday, was commit

man, strangers in the vicinity.
Stiles and Borden, the latter being 80
years old, went fishing some distance

objected seeing two suspicious charac-
tiers hanging about the camp. He sent
Borden back to remain with Mrs. Stiles.

returned and found both lying dead,
The old man was shot through the left
shoulder and also through the head,
and Mrs, Stiles was shot through the
head. 1t cannot be learned whether or

ride. Farther down the road he met a
rancher who took a note to- Oceanside

says: Another vessel required for SER

will be bought in New York, making
the fifth that the Spanish consul-gen-
eral has purchased here. Money to be

mated by Senior Antonogues NIendenes,

Herrera and several other Spaniards.
Speaking of the purchase of these
boats in this country by the Spanish
government, President Palma said that
the Cuban 5unta regrets that the condi-
tons do not permit them to enjoy the
same advantages in this country as
Spain.
1T is true" he declared, that we
can buy anything we want here, but
the difficulty comes in shipping to
Cuba. Spain cannot only buy what she
wants. but can send to Cuba whatever
she pleases. If we were recognized as
belligerents we would be allowed to do
the same thing"

One Thing NeedfuI.

LONDON, Sept. 11.-An ex-Spanish
official. who is now a planter. gave it
as his opinion that the only thing to be
done, if Spain would not lose Cuba
is to grant a complete measure of self
government The Cuban leader of the
autonomists of that district regarded
the central committee at Havana as
weak and as not furthering the cause
of Cuban autonomy.
The time is arriving when Spain
must offer absolute autonomy, if it
wishes to keep Cuba. Maxine Gomez
is advancing towards Santa Clara with
the object Of allowing Rolpff to ad-
vance into NIatanazas. General Cam
pos has wired to Madrid not to send
further reinforcements.

the general council ,of the English
Lutheran church, which has Just end

against Youngstown Lutheran min

of the church constitution which
provides that no minister of that
church shall: not be a member of a
secret society which is "unChrfstian
or infidelic in it's tendencies" The at
tempt to enforce was a failure because
majority of the ministers were
themselves members of secret societies.

Make Their Nominations and
Adjourn.
A STRONG PLATFORM.
ARRANGEMENT OF THE STATE AD-
MINISTRATION.
What the Democratic Party Found
When it Came Into Power, and
the Good Results That Have Been
Achieved-MaIoney's Attack on
SinGeriy.

WILLIAMSBURG, Pa, Sept. 1.-THE
Democratic state convention adjourned
tonight. after making these nominations:
For state treasurer-EX-Congre
Benjamin f. Meyers of Harrisburg, by
reclamation.
For judges of the supreme court, Har-
mon Yerkes, of Buck county, j. S. Moore
head of Westmoreland; C. H. Moves, of
Warren; P. P. Smith, of Asackawanna;
Oliver P. Bechtel, of Schylkill and Chris
TOPPER Magee, Allegheny.
Apart from the judicial contest, the
features of the convention were the
adoption of the Democratic platform ar
raigning the present state administra-
ton, and a speech by Jonn Ndloney, one
of the Philadelphia delegates, attackllg
William Singerly, who was the Demo
election.
Following is the platform:
First@The Democratic party in con-
vention assembled, hereby renews It's
allegiance to, and declares It's faltn
in the principles of the Democracy as
formulated by Jefferson and illustrat-
ed by Madison, Monroe, Jackson and
Cleveland 1t congratulates the Amer
lean people on the first fruits Of the
Democratic administration which in
herited from it's Republican predeces-
sor a. bankrupt treasury and unW1se
| financial legislation, impaired public
credit and widespread disaster, and
which, under the sagacious, courage
Gus and patriotic leadership of its
great president, Grover Cleveland, led
| the people out of the slough of de-
spondency to the high ground of sub
stantial and increasing prosperity.
Second-The repeal of the Sherman
silver purchasing act and the McKin-
| ley tariff law and the substitution of
more moderate tariff laws have found
| their immediate results in the resump-
| ton of business and the restoration of
| the national credit.
Third-As vindicating the principles
of tariff reform, to which the Dem
ocracy is unalterably pledged, we
challenge especial attention to the fact
that such prosperity and the conse-
quent material increase of wages has
been most pronounced in the indus
! tries whose existence our opponents
claimed were dependent upon high
tariff duties. The gloomy prediction
| that iron and steel industries Of Penn
| sylvania would be destroyed by re-
duced tariff has been contradicted by
| their present uneXampled prosperity.
Fourth-We invite the attention of
| the wage-earners to the fact that the
present voluntary increase of wages
of those employed in the manufacture
ing industries. amounting to no less
| than $250,000000, was absolutely I'M
known under the Mckinley tariff act.
| F'ifth-We especially re-aff1rm so
much Of the platform of the last Dem
ocratic national convention as calls
for the use of both gold and silver as
the standard money of the country;
| but dollar unit of coinage of both
metals must be of equal intrinsic and
eXchangeable value.
The platform ends with the arraign-
ment of the state administration.

PORTLAND, Ore. Sept. 11.-Advices
from the hop districts of the state are
to the effect that the rains of the past
two days have caused a cessation in
the picking and many ptekers are
leaving the fields. The damage to
the hops so far is not very great, as
the mold is already making Its ap-
pearance. In some cases the growers
have picked only portion OF their
yards, being discouraged by the low
price of the market and the untaVor-
able weather conditions.
