and stepped to the front door with the
bloody razor in his hand. Seeing that
it would be impossible to do 50 on
account Of the crowd of excited men
who had gathered about the door. he
made some remark about killing the
first man who attempted to lay hands
on him and then cut his own throat.
The act was witnessed by a number
Of people. The blood spurted from
the wound and the man, after stagger-
ing around for a few minutes, fell.
The crowd started after him. but he
ros and held them at bay with the
azor. He then left the house and ran
three squares, followed by q great
crowd. When Elizabeth street was
reached he jumped on a street car
where he was captured by Patrollnan

Ardson, chairman of the Democratic
state central committee, writes from
Norwich, Conn, to Secretary w. Fl. L.
Pepperill, i%nstructing him to issue a
call for the meeting of the committee
at the Throop hotel in Topeka toward
the last of the month. It is quite
likely that the free silver Democrats
will urge the committee to call a con
vention in order that an expression on
the money question may be obtained.
The gold men are opposed to conven,

Storms Fury.
GRIDLEY, Kan, Sept. 1l.-About 8
o'clock Sunday morning a storm of
wind and rain burst on this town from
the northwest. The wind was what
is known as a straight blow and it's
mischief was mainly confined to the
unrooflng Of buildings. A downpour
Of rain Immediately followed, of a
volume that car best be appreciated
by the statement that twelve inches
Of water fell in an incredibly short
time. This deluge completed the de-
.struction that had not been accom-
plished by the wind. In a few min
utes every stock of goods in town had
beer soaked, and the household pos
sessions OF most of the inhabitants
were in the same condition. Strange
to say, with all of the falling roofs
and walls and flying debris, that broke
windows far and near, not a person of
the town reported more than the
slightest personal injury

NAVAL VETERANS PARADE
Ten Thousand Ex-seamen March Through
Louisville.

Ten Thousand Ex-seamen March Through
Louisville.
LOUISVILLE, XIV, Sept. lit IS
doubtful if this city yer entertained
as many guests as are here to-day.
Certain it is the town never beforehad
within its limits so many old soldiers.
It is c~onservatively estimated that
nearly 200, 900 strangers are here, but
the majority of them thirty years ago
bore arms either for the blue or for
the gray.
The event OF the day was the grand
parade OF the Naval Veterans associ-
alton, and, to judge by the crowds of
men, women and children who
thronged the sidewalks along the line
of march and crowded the windows
and h%ousetops. all Louisville had
turned out. The hour set for the
starting of the parade was 1880
o'clock, but as usual there was some
~delay-not enough, however, to tire
the thousands who had gathered to
see it. When the. order forward
march was given there were fully
10000 men in line. OF course, they
were not all veterans of the United
States navy, but those veterans were
the center of attraction and as they
passed through the streets they were
greeted by patriotic cheers.
Last in the parade, riding in car
rlages. came a score or more veterans
of the Mexican a They were too
feeble to walk and few Of them ever
expect to see another national encamp-
ment.
There is great amount of talk in G.
A. r. circles as to who will be the
next commander-in-chief. There are
a number of aspirants, but as yet none
of the candidates have developed suf-
ficient strength to warrant a predic.
ton. There is a good Zeal of talk,
however, that Colonel Ivan N. Walker
of Indianapolis should be elected.
Another candidate for the leadership
is Thaddeus A. Clarkson of Nebraska.
General G. II. Schultz of New Orleans
has also been talked of as a candidate.
