Especial TO The HeraldN


EVANSTON, Wyo., Aug. A pc
tition was made today to Judge Knight
to release E. S. Croker on bail pend
ing his trial at the September term
for the murder of William Crawford
Mr.. Croker was recently acquitted
AT Cheyenne for the murder of Harvey
Booth, and has been in custody ever
since on the other charge.
No resistance was made to admitting
him to bail and Judge Knight fixed
the bond at $4,000 which was quickly
furnished, with william Hinton and
John Redman as bondsmen. General
Donzelman, of Cheyenne, presented the
application, and Mr. Croker is expect
ed home on Thursday, to await his triad
on the Crawford charge.
Frank Murtha, jointly indicted with
him, is still in Jail for want of ability
to give bonds. Witnesses have been
subpoenaed for September 7, when the
trials will come up. if not dismissed.
Nobody expects a conviction, as the
charge duplicates Booth equally with
Croker and Murtha, and Booths
friends, who have been pushing Crock
err at the coHlty's expense, are said to
be ready to quit.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug. A
Further returns received up to to-
night from yesterdays election in this
state confirm the first reports of
complete Democratic victory with
surprisingly large gains The count
in the big counties has been SLOW,

counties have not been heard from,
and are too close to be figured on.
1t is believed that the complete re-
turns will show a majority of not less
than $4,000 for Johnston and possibly
$4,000
AS to the Legislature the Democrats
have gained, it is figured, fourteen
members of the house, giving them
scventy-eight out OF 100 They have
elected eleven out of seventeen sena-
tors, which with the thirteen hold
over members gives them twenty-four

the legislature is silver, which prob
ably means Pugh's reelection to the

Sir Augustus Hemming, the governor
general, then brought forward novel
plan for strengthening the military
branch by enlisting Indians as colonial
troops. 1t was explained that the sys-
tenn would be somewhat similar TO that
conducted by Great Britain in East In
dia, where the native troops are one
of the most effective branches of her
majesty's military forces. The attorney
general, in supporting the proposition.
said 1T was proposed to give them regju-
lar commissions and titled as captains,
etc. as the Indian thought a great
seal of himself if he bore a title and
staff Office. The commission would per-
nit the Indian officer to exact hona ge
aad respect from the native. The In
dian captains, constables, etc, would
be used, the attorney general said, both
TO keep tie government informed as to
t--- events in the interior and ais DIN
any disturbances along the
Venezuelan border.
The plan was discussed at length, but
ii has not yet passed.

TWO TEN KILLED.
Freight Wreck on the Philadei-

SHAMOKIN, Pa, Aug. 1.-Two men
were killed anu another fatally injured
in a freight wreck on the Philadelphia
& Reading railroad, six miles west of
Shamokin today. The wreckage took
fire from the dismantled locomotive
and the knowledge that on the siding
where the accident occurred was a
car load of gunpowder prevented an
attempt at rescue until the explosion
had occurred.
It was thus that the body of Engi-
neer Michael Smock was burned within
full view of the workmen. 1t was
pinned beneath the engine and fiercely
burning debris. The victims are:
Michael Smock. engineer.
Alexander Smith, conductor, dead.
Jacob Driesbach, fireman, badly
scalded; will die.

Sensat ionaI Scenes in the State DEM
Ocratic Convention Held at Min

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Aug. The
state Democratic convention was
held here today. The six hundred dele
gates present were harmonious SO far
as the fusion plan was concerned with
the Populists, but in the dialiverance Of
their charge things ran less smoothly.
This was when the report of the COM
mittee on credentials was presented
for adoption. Il was understood that
there were no contests, but a supple
mentary report was presented, chal-
longing the rights Of three distinguish
ed members of the Ramsey coumly
delegation 20 occupy seats on the
floor. These were Daniel w. LAWYER,
national committeeman from Mime
sofa; Judge AIcCAffeTty and Frank w.
McCutclleon Of St. Paul. All are pro-
nounced gold men who have repudi-
ated the Chicago platform. The silver
men were determined TO Gust them and
they did. 4 scene of wild disorder
ensued and small-sized riot waged
for an hour. Mr.. Mcutcheon had been
invited to express his views, but when
he began TO speak the crowd would
not listen to him. All attempts to pre-
serve order proved futile and Nc
Cutcheon left the platform with the
remark:
"AI right, gentlemen, we will meet
you at Phillippi."
The three men filed out of the hail
amid the derisive shouts of hundreds
of angry men. The fusion plan was
adopted. The Democrats named John
Lind for governor, julius J. Hendricks
for secretary Of state and Alex Nc
Kinnon for state treasurer, leaving the
lieutenant governorshtp and the attor-
ey-generalship to be filed in by the
Populists. The Democrats also named
four presidential electors. The Popu-
lists will name the remaining electors.
A feature of the convention wes a
characteristic speech by Ignatius Don
nelly, pledging harmony in large car
goes and magnificent victory for all
silverites in November.
