AN INSANE MANS FANCY

Dr.. II. W. Roby has received a letter
which is a curiosity. 1t was mailed in

in neat hand, are the words, United

For some reason the postoffice author

not genuine, and the letter came through

attempt to arrest the writer, anyhow, for
he is an inmate of the insane asylum in

NOMINATING GIBSON.
Reasons of the Durrant Defense For Sus-
pscting the Minister.

pscting the Minister.
SAN FRANCIsCo, Oct 2.-One of the
attorneys for the Durrant defense, A. w.
Thompson, has consented in the light of
remarks made public by Rev. ]. George
Gibson to outline the facts and theories
which caused Eugene Deuprey in his
opening statement to throw suspicion
upon the pastor
According to his own story they say,
he was in his study from 8 until 1880 on
the night of the Williams MUIR
der. At the latter hour he
left his study aud walked to Dr..
VogePs a distance of three blocks ar
irving there shortly before 8. 1t occur
red to Dnrrants attorney that was slow
time.
Later DR.. Gibson modified his testi-
mony, stating that he arrived at the
Vogels a reasonable time after 30
But according to Mrs. McVey they
point out that Miss Williams, if she went
directly TO the church must have arrived
there at about the same time. Their
conclusion is obvious, the two were there
alone for an hour and<a half and their
theory is that the murder committed, the
perpstr atOr went to the Vogel social
and enjoyed himself.
In the Lamont case they have a new
ground for suspicion, It seems that
on Sunday evening proceeding
Blanche Lamont's Disappearance

at the prayer meeting on April 3rd, OF

wished to consult her pastor on the sub
ject That she did not see the minister
on NJ onday or Tuesday, the defense can
prove. They can prove by the young
ladies who overheard the remark that
she intended to consult him. and they
can also show that Wednesday afternoon
was her first opportunity.

MAYeMEET AT ATLANTA
John PRESIDENTIAL on the National
Populst Convention.
PROPOSES THAT IT BE HELD

On WashfnGton's Birthday and at the
City Of AtInnta-Want to Get Into
tho Field Early.
sour people are already figuring on
our national convention" said Chairman
John w. Breidenthal of the Populist
state central committee to a SITE jour
NAL reporter.
Continuing. Mr., Breidenthal said: II
am now getting letters from the Populist
leaders suggesting that we ought to have
very early convention, as there are no
good reasons why we should wait for any
action either of the old parties are likely
to take.
"Iy own idea is that neither of the old
parties will take any action on anything
that we are interested in that we can in
any way indorse, and that being the case
see 40 reason for waiting for them
"Populism represents something the
old parties ignore and whether the
Populist party lives or dies there will be
some party which will continue to repre-
sent these views we are now advocating.
Neither the Republican or Demo
cratic conventions will take any action
relative to silver that our people can en-
| dorse so you see we might jus. as we'll
| go right ahead.
Some people have heard from, are,
all agreed that we should have an early
j convention. Some suggest that the con-
vention be held in March some want il
in February, others in January, and one
fellow wants us to hold it in December.
"For my own part l think it should be
held in February. About the 22d of Feb
ruary. That is our day. We either hold
our conventions on the 22d of February
or the Fourth of July. The old Union
Labor party was organized on the 22d oil
February, 1881"
Mir. Breidenthal picked up '96 calen-
dar and glanced at it and then remarked
No, it will hardly do to call the conven
ton for the 22d of February, as thai
comes on Saturday. We might call i
for the 21st, and then arrange our bust
ness SO that the ticket will be nominated
en- Washington's birthday"
Il regard to the place of holding tht
convention, Chairman Breidenthal sale
he thought it might be held at Atlantis
as the exposition will be in progress, and
it will be an easy matter to get good
railroad rates.
He said: 1.-THE south has never had
national convention, and it would make
those fellows feel pretty good if VIZ
should go down there to nominate oul
ticket That would suit our northern
fellows all right; they can go anywhere.
The Populist national committee has
not yet been called together but it very
likely will be soon The Kansas mem

THE LOST SPANISH SHIP.
A Careful Inquiry VIII Be Made Into the
Crist0baI Colon Disaster.

A Careful Inquiry VIII Be Made Into the
Cristobsl Colon Disaster.
MADRID, Oct. 2-The news of the loss
of the Spanish cruiser Cristobal Colon
off the western coast of Cuba has caused
profound sensation following as it did
SO closely upon the loss of the cruiser
Barcastegui.
The Cristobal Colon will prove to be a
total loss. The Spanish minister OF
marine, Admiral Beranger has ordered
that careful inquiry he made into the
causes of the disaster and that all the
reports in the case be for warded to Spain
as soon as possible.
The rumor that the cruiser was sunk
by agents of the insurgents is classed as
being absurd, and everything tends to
show that there is no doubt that the
Cristobal Colon was driven ashore a
night during heavy weather and that
she was abandoned the next morning by
her commander and crew.
