At Montgomery.


 Montgomery, Aug. 3.-It was anybodys game today until Umpire Mcfarland called it at the end of the eighth inning. There was some hard hitting done on both sides but the locals succeeded in getting their hits when they were most needed which, with the help of some glaring errors on the part of Evansville, gave them the game. The feature was one of the most difficult and sensational catches by Jack Hays on second base that was ever seen on the home grounds. The catch was so unexpected that runner on first was almost at second before he realized that the ball was caught, and Jack made pretty double play The locals leave tonight for Mo- bile, where they get Sunday game to- morrow.

ALL CAUSED BY SICKNESS.
Terrible Domestic Tragedy
Enacted Near Petty,
Texas.
Farmer Bradshaw Killed His
Wife and Child and Then
Himself.

PARIS, TEX, July 27.-Details of one of
the most horrible tragedies ever enacted in
this section reached here this morning. For
some time Henry Bradshaw, a farmer liv-
ing sixteen miles west of this city and one
and half miles south of Petty, small
town on the Texas and Pacific Railway,
has been in bad health and grown despond-
ent. He had wife and two children and
was in good circumstances.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon he
went to his house from the field and took
his shotgun and fired charge into his
wife's back while she was at work in the
kitchen. He then shot his little four-year-
old daughter, who was in another room.
The charge struck her in the head and
literally blew it off.
Bradshaw then reloaded his gun and
went into the sitting-room and lay down on
the floor, placed the gun in his mouth and
pulled the trigger, with the result of almost
decapitating himself. Neighbors heard
the shots, but thought nothing of it.
About shutdown the hired man went to
the house and found the dead bodies in
different rooms all saturated with blood.
The baby, only about 10 months old, was
grooming in its cradle, unmindful of the
CHASTITY scene around it.
Bradshaw was a sober, industrious man
of good family, and his wife was the
daughter of Methodist minister. Their
married life had been happy, and no other
motive for the horrible deed can be given
except that Bradshaw had grown weary of
life and did not want to leave his wife and
children,

they had no church or place of abode, but
in 1118, nineteen years after the conquest
Of Jerusalem by the Crusaders, they were
rewarded for their services to the Chris
tians by place granted them within the
sacred Enclosure of the temple upon Mount
Moriah. From this time these knights,
who had previously called themselves
"the poor fellow-soldiers of Jesus Christ"
became known as "The Knighthood of the
Temple of Solomon" From this temple,
granted to their use by Baldwin, King of
Jerusalem, they derived their name of
Knights Templar.
The history of the various crusades is a
history of the Knights Templar, for in all
the wars and bloody battles until they
were finally driven out of Palestine they
were active and heroic participants. De
Molay was the last grand master of the
active religious order, and under his
leadership, after the Templars had left
Palestine for the last time, they estab-
lished themselves in the island of Cyprus.
But though the active work of the mill
tary and religious order of the Knights
Templar was terminated by their losses
abroad and prosecutions at home, it is
claimed that the order has never ceased to
exist, and, in support of this claim, an I'M
broken line of grand masters from Hugh
de Payens in lib until the present time is
presented. The beautiful ceremonies and
ritual of the modern knights Templar are
founded upon the ancient rules of the
Poor Fellow-soldiers of Christ, though the
monastic and active military features have
been discarded. The modernized order
was introduced into the United States
early in this century, and presents an I'M
broken line from that time.
Boston Commandery, the Oldest Tenn
plar organization in the United States, and
the largest in the world, having now over
800 members, has the honor of Inaugural
ting the movement which has resulted in
securing the presence of the Templar hosts
in Boston. The initial action was taken by
Sir Eugene A. Holton, then commander of
Boston Commandery, and gathering force
as it went resulted in the Endorsement of
the invitation by every commandery in
the jurisdiction, and also by the Grand
Commandery of Massachusetts, and Rhode
Island. The invitation was presented at
the Denver conclave, and though Cincin-
natl and Louisville were also candidates
for the honor the claims of Boston were so
ably presented that the committee re-
ported in its favor and the Grand Encamp-
ment accepted the invitation, both by
unanimous votes. The action created a
wave of enthusiasm throughout this juris-
die ton, and measures were at once taken
to make all the necessary preparations.
A large and influential committee was ap-
pointed, with r. E. Sir General Samuel G.
Lawrence as chairman, E. Sir Benjamin
w. Rowell as secretary, and Sir Daniel W.
Lawrence as treasurer.

UNITED At LAST.
Romance Connected With tie Marriage OF
German Couple.

Romance Connected With tie Marriage of
German Couple.
NEW YORK, n. Y, July 27.-Justice of
the Peace George F. Seymour of Hoboken
was called upon yesterday to officiate at a
wedding in the Hansa Hotel. The couple
were Richard Blankenberg, 81 years old,
and Miss Elizabeth Dohring, aged q. After
the ceremony Blankenberg said that about
ten years ago his present wife and himself
were lovers in hamlet in Germany, where
they were both born and lived until they
reached their maturity.
They quarreled one day and Blanken-
berg became enamored of another woman
living in town. She accepted his suit, and
after brief courtship they were married.
Blankenberg and his bride sailed for Amer
lea and located at Grand Rapids, Mich.
He secured employment as a cabinet
maker and saved considerable money. He
lived happily with his wife until about
three years ago, when she died.
About year later Blankenberg decided
to return to Germany. He met Miss
Dohring and again became sutton for her
hand. He proposed marriage and she ac-
cepted, with the condition that the cere-
mony should not be performed until two
years later. Blankenberg accepted her
proposition. He returned to his home in
Grand Rapids and the couple CORE
sponded. About month ago Blanken-
berg received letter from her saying that
she had engaged passage for America.
She expected to arrive in Hoboken last
Saturday. Blankenberg came on and met
her on the steamship dock. Monday they
went to the Hansa Hotel and were mar
ried. Mr.. and Mrs. Blankenberg will re-
main in Hoboken until tomorrow, when
they will go to Grand Rapids.

If there was more real money instead of
bank credit there would be comparatively
few debts and few failures. The people
owed it to themselves and to civilization to
get rid of bank credit money and substi-
tute for it real money. The intricacies of
the science of money were not difficult to
master.
The first lesson to learn was the neces-
sity for money. Civilization was so con-
structed as to make it a necessity. The
want of money often destroyed character
in man and woman. The scarcity of money
was the principal cause of their poverty.
To relieve the demand money should be
made no more desirable than other prop
erty. To take that one great strain from
the human mind and turn it in a higher
and nobler direction was the true study of
economy and craftsmanship. The mo-
nopoly of money has encouraged all forms
of monopoly.
Mr.. Horr-I charged my friend Harvey
two or three times with tending toward
the old notions of greenbackism and being
areal believer in that ridiculous fat money.
He does not deny it.
Mr.. Harvey do deny it.
Mr.. Horr-You did not, and you have
not. You simply say: "There is nothing
in this debate from which you have right
to infer anything of the kind" inferred
it from his methods of arguing that old
craze of fiat money. He bases his new
philosophy entirely on the theory that the
people of the world are all in debt. 1t
does not occur to him that sums of in
debtedness include debtors and creditors.

THE TROLLER'S ACTS
Discovery of a Supreme
Court in the Treasury
Department.
Secretary Carlisle, However, Is the
Moving Power Behind the
Throne.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 27.-The
delegation now in this city from Louisiana
to appear before Comptroller Bowler on be-
half of the sugar bounty cases which have
been held up are very much concerned over
the outcome of the visit and are not in
clined to be oversanguine that the Comp
troller will reverse his decision, which will
result in having the entire amount of the
sugar bounty, over $5,0O0,000, held up on
the ground that the appropriation was I'M
constitutional.
81 have looked carefully over Storey and
Kent to see if l was not mistaken about
what these great authorities say on the
judicial powers of the Government" said
Senator Caffery Il have found that such
judicial power was lodged in the Supreme
Court and certain inferior courts within its
Jurisdiction throughout the country. But
in spite of this Comptroller Bowler has dis
covered another Supreme Court in the
treasury, and he presides over it. This
court has power, it is claimed, to declare
any and all acts unconstitutional and from
its decision there is absolutely no appeal.
The entire action of Congress might be
nullified by Comptroller Bowler in all in
stances in which appropriations are car
ried.
"The sugar bounty is not the only in
terest that may suffer. Congress appro-
priated 100000 for the Atlanta exposi-
ton; it appropriated subsidy to GER
tain steamship lines, and Mr.. Bowler may
adjudge both these appropriations to be
unconstitutional. The most serious part
of this whole matter is that Mr.. Bowler
has power to do what he is doing. 1t is
provided by statutes that the Comptroller
shall have authority to pass upon any and
all accounts, and from his decision there is
no appeal. The Secretary of the Treasury
could not reverse Mr.. Bowler's decision.
In the case of these sugar bounties Con-
gress passed the law, and the President,
who is sworn to defend the constitution,
approved it. To our amazement and sur
prise Bowler has discovered this Supreme
Court in the Treasury Department, and is
conscientiously of the opinion that it is
his duty to pass upon the constitution
atty of the acts of Congress.
''This is the first time the Comptroller of
the Treasury has ever asserted his author
ity to turn down an account because the
law authorizing it was not constitutional,
and this action has been reserved for Mr..
Bowler"
The Louisianians leave for Gray Gables
Monday to try and induce President
Cleveland to interfere in their behalf, but
of course, he will not do it. The truth is
that Secretary Carlisle is responsible for
Bowler's action. He wants to save every
dollar possible for obvious reasons.

He Vas Located In Indiana, but Vas
Ignorant of the Murders.
LAFAYETTE, IND, July 27.-After two
days search by wire Peter Cigrand, the
father of Miss Emeline Cigrand Holmes
supposed victim, has been located at An
derson, Ind, and was interviewed by
United Press representative to-day. He is
employed at the Buckeye Manufacturing
Works, in the western part of that city.
He said he had not heard from the miss
ing daughter since the time of her sup
posed marriage. The letter he received
then was to the effect that she was going
to Europe to spend the following year.
After failing to hear from her again he
wrote to Holmes, and later heard from
him, stating that he had not seen her
since she had married Phelps, and that he
did not know where she was. The letter
was typewriter and dictated and signed
by Holmes. They have put it away, but
are unable to lay hands on it now. The
old man was Frustrated when he learned
for the first time what he was being
searched for and why. He is growing old
and says he is not financially able to go to
Chicago. He does not know of the partic-
ulars of the case of Holmes victims, as he
does not read a great deal.

CRAIG NOT REMOTED.
Secretary Carlisle Approves C0llecto,
Wtse's Recommendation.

Wise's Recommendation.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 27.-Sec-
rotary Carlisle decided to-day that he would
not revoke the commission of Mr.. Craig of
San Francisco as a notary public. Mr..
Craig's only connection with the customs
service of the United States was that of
notary public administering such oaths as
were required in the transaction of it's bust
ness at San Francisco. He was charged by
the United States Civil Service Commission
with having acted as custodian of funds
collected from officials in the Government
service in San Francisco for political pur-
poses and the Secretary was asked to re-
woke his commission. Collector Wise was
asked to report on the case ana he did so,
recommending that Mr.. Craig be not dis
turbed for the reason that he did not vio-
late the law, because he was not Govern
ment employee After considering the case
Secretary Carlisle approved the Collectors
report.

NATIONAL SILVER PARTY,
Leaders Have Agreed to Meet
With That Object in
View.
Congressman Latimer Said the
Agreement Was Delayed by
BANDS Objections.

COLUMBUS, s. c., July 27.-Congress-
man Latimer of South Carolina is author
ity for the statement that the silver leaders
have agreed to call convention to meet
in st. Louis in September for the pur-
pose of forming National silver party.
Among the names mentioned of those who
have agreed to the scheme are Bland of
Missouri, Tillman of South Carolina and
Marion Butler of North Carolina. Large
numbers of others have signifed their as
sent. According to Congressman Latimer,
the agreement has been somewhat delayed
by the objections of Senator Bland, who
refused to come IN at first, and to sever his
connection with the Democratic party.
The purpose is to form party independ-
ent of the two old parties and one that. it
is expected, will draw much strength from
the Populist party.
The ball was set in motion at the Mem
phis conference and has been quietly
pushed ever since. The plans are now
complete and will be given to the public in
a few weeks, when the call for the conven-
ton is issued. Since the Memphis confer
ence sentiment has been sounded, and the
leaders say the time is most opportune for
the formation of such a party. Congress
man Latimer gave this information pri-
vately and went no further in his speech to
the alliance to-day than to say:
''Let US call an additional convention
like our own March convention and say
we are for both metals, and then put a
man on simple platform for silver and
make the race and win the fight. The
Republicans say that they will not desert
their name. am Democrat, but I am
in favor of this early convention, and
say to you, hold it and win the fight"
