some time ago by Rev. A. +. Kolas-
Zewski and A. NJ. Chrostowski, the
former editor Of the Morning Star, a
paper published in the interest of the
Polish people Of Cleveland, has caused
continuous trouble between the MEM
berS Of the new parish and those Of
st. Stanislas' parish, from which the
former cuceded.
tween the factions has taken another
turn. and the Polish people of this city
are in the throes of a sensation. The
most startling phase of the affair is
that Chrostowskit, who now lives in
Philadelphia, has written in an indirect
manner to the effect that he knows
more than he has ever told of the muir
der Of Mrs. Elizabeth Janicki. the Po-
lish woman who was found on Ken
yon street, in an unconscious condition
little more than year ago. She was
taken to st. AliXS' hospital, and died
within a week. 1t was found that she
had been beaten on the head with a
stone, and left to die. She had gone out
to meet her son, and while returning
to her home without him. in a lonely
spot, near gully, was assaulted.
John Lisiecki was shortly afterwards
arrested on suspicion or having caused
the death of Mrs. Janicki. After spend

Springfield, O., Aug. 19.-The silver
and anti-silver forces opened head
quarters today for the Democratic
state convention which meets tomor-
row. Lines have been drawn in the
local reception COMMITTEES, which divide
into competing parties in their work
Many delegates are here tonight al
though the convention does not assem-
bic until Wednesday. The fight be-
tween the free silver and the Brice
men will occur tomorrow evening when
the members of the committee on reso-
lutions and other committees in organ
ization are selected. There are 80S DEL
egates. The silver men classify them
as 343 for free silver, 32S for gold and
1877 doubtful. The Brice men claim
there are 465 for honest money" and
that of the 343 claimed by Thurman
men for silver, some are doubtful.
1t is generally believed, since the
last counties selected delegates today,
that the Brice men will control all the
organization and will have fourteen
out of the twenty-one members Of the
cammittee on resolutions.
Senator Brice, Ex-Governor Camp
bell and other leaders arrive tomorrow
morning and are to dine with John
Thomas, the free silver leader. This
fact is recognized as assuring a COM
promise before the district meetings
are held al p. m. 1t is believed there
will be some agreement at the Thomas
dinner as to who will be nominated
for governor. If Ex-Governor Camp
bell will not run, then John H. Thomas,
or James Kilbourne may be nominal
ed. Both are free silver men. The
real issue pending is as to what con-
cession will be made to the free silver
men and yet make the record for the
party that is desired by Senator Brice.
One may make a platform and the 9TH
er the nominations. There are some
bitternesses to be settled while Senator
Brice is presiding as temporary chair
man, and there may be trouble at the
opening of the convention if all the
silver contestants are unseated.
