TO BLOT OUT THE PARTY
DEMOCRATS MAKE DEAL TO ABB
sORB THE POPULIsTs,
But the State Convention To-Day May
Not Let Its State Committee Com
plete the Dicker.

The honest followers of the Populist par
ty in Indiana, those who are sincere in the
belief that their party has a mission 10
perform in correcting by legislation num-
ercus ills of the times, are about to see
their party dumped sold out and utterly
demoralized by the Vaccinations money
OF the Democratic leaders acting upon the
personal ambition of their own party lead
ers. Tricked by their leaders at St. Louis
upon the plea that the autonomy of the
party would be preserved by the nomina-
tion OF straight Populist State and county
tickets, they are about to be tricked again
by their leaders in Indiana, who are ar
ranging to have the State convention to-
day either adjourn without action or
leave the question of nominations in the
hands of committee of self-seeking lead
ers who desire TO use the power thus given
them to further their personal ambitions
and make hay for themselves at the ex-
pense of the party.
These leaders appreciate perfectly well
the fact that such action means the abso-
lutte death of the Populist party in Indiana.

the melting away of its following but that
does not matter to them If they can put
themselves in a position to contract with
the Democratic leaders for good places for
themselves and their personal friends i'm

substantial consideration of a sort of re-

A CONGRESSIONAL FUSE
DEMOCRATS TO UNITE WITH POPU-
LISTS IN THIS DISTRICT.
Capt. Sheppard and Thomas Taggart
Held on the Same Day.

The Seventh district Populist caucus last
night developed an interesting fact in re-
gard to the congre ssional fight in this dis
trict. S. NJ. Sheppard. Populist. and
Thomas Taggart Democrat. have been
holding conference or two with reference
to the subject of fusion on a congressional
candidate, and in consequence Mr.. Shep-
hard suggested to the caucus last night
that the Populst congressional convention
be held at the same time and place as the
Democratic gathering for similar pur-
pose.
A motion was made to this effect and
several speeches were made along the line
of fusion. notably by Daggy. of Marion
county, and a Johnson county delegate.
Mr.. Daggy stated that he understood that
the Democrats were willing to fuse here,
and that they had already agreed in the
Fifth district that both PARTIES should units
upon John Clarke Ridpath. The Johnson
county man declared that the Populists of
that county had held a conference at
Franklin last Saturday, at which they had
agreed TO fuse by making their nomination
about week ahead of the Democrats and
then asking them to indorse the Populist
nominee in which case, it is needless to
remark the Democrats would give hoarse
laugh and proceed to nominate a man of
their own. 1t was explained that with the
conventions meeting at the same time and
place either conference committees could
be appointed or a fusion convention could
be held. The Populists will endeavor to
have Populist accepted in the person of
H. G. Barnhart, of Johnson county, but the
Democrats are not likely to accept this.
The Democratic call has been delayed in
order that time. place and the same basis
of representation may be agreed upon be-
tween the two parties. This will give the
Democrats something like ten times as
many delegates as the Populists have, and
the latter will be invited to participate in
the convention with the agreement that
both sides support the nominee. The DEM
ocrats, having an overwhelming majority
in the convention. will then proceed to
nominate straight Democrat, and the
Populists will be bound by their agreement
to support him. 1t is probable that this
convention will be held next week. The
Democrats have four candidates in the
field-Leon o. Bailey, c. NJ. Cooper. Romus
+. Stuart and Sydney Moon. OF these
Cooper seems to have the call, and the
Populists will be called upon to support
him.

FELL In A VAULT.


Carlin ]. Ruth. the two-year-old child of
Charles Ruth, suffered horrible death yes
terday morning. Little Carlin and an older
brother were playing together in the yard
in the rear Of their home, when the mother
heard the child calling. She went out to
see what the children were doing. but
could see nothing of the smaller child Up
on investigation she located the calls of
mamma and found the child in the out
house vault. The child, while playing in
the closet. had accidentally fallen through
Mrs. Ruth reassured the child. telling it
that she could easily get it out. but the
vault was too deep and she could not reach
ii. She hurriedly went for aid and before
many minutes several men were upon the
scene trying 10 get hold of the child, but
with poor success. The voice of Ito little
one calling for its mother had gradually
grown weaker. until when one of the fire
men from the Virginia avenue engine house
appeared with ladder il had died out alto

the delay had been too long and life was
extinct. Mr.. Ruth, who is employed as

THUGS in ST. CLAIR PARK
c. G. FISHER ASSAULTED AND FIRED
ON By HIGHWAYMEN.
His Lucky Escape-A Blow Intended
for Fisher Fell on the Foot
pads Pal.

c. G. Fisher. bicycle dealer, was riding
Saturday night and stopped to rest for
moment in st. Clair Park. He had scarce
ly taken seat on one of the benches when
he was pounced upon by two men, who
struck at him with slung shots. He saw
them in time to dodge the blows, and
kicked one of the men just as he aimed a
second blow. The blow again missed Fish
er and struck the other robber on the
shoulder. The second robber when hit was
in the act of choking Fisher. He released
his hold on Fishers neck and gave a howl
of pain when he received the blow from
his pal. AT the time the encounter was go-
ing there were a dozen bicyclists in the
park or sitting along the curb at the edge
of the park. They heard the sound of
scuffiing and ran TO Fishers assistance.
The robbers then fed, but not before TAX
ing one shot at Fisher.
The sound of the shot attracted two po-
licemen, who Joined in the pursuit of the
fleeing highwaymen. The latter made their
escape. however. Fisher considers himself
exceedingly fortunate. IL was a mere
chance that he lodged the first blow, and
it was bit of luck that he happened to
kick the man who aimed second blow at
him. This not only caused the blow TO fall
upon the other robber, but caused him to
release his hold upon Fishers throat.
Again Fisher was lucky enough TO escape
being hit when the foled nighwayman
drew his pist tol and fired at short range.
Yesterday morning two men were In Po-
lice Court charged with lettering. They
were two of the many of their class which
the police arresting suspects ac-
count of numerous robberies which have
occurred recently, and which the police
have been careful not to make public. Mr.
Fisher failed to identify the TWO as his
assailants
During the last ten days there have been
many reports of robberies and attempted
rObberies of wheelmen. Mr. Fisher had an
experience with a highwayman on the tow
path not long ago. The man mad prac-
tically held him up when other persons
came along and scared the robber away.

Covinrton Had 500 with Him

The house of Minnie Grayson. 80 South
Capitol avenue, was raided by the police
yesterday through a misunderstanding.
A report came that a man had been robbed
there in the morning. ID. f. Crowley, a tel
egraph operator and c. E. Covington,
saloon keeper, of Lafayette. had been out
on q debauch and were escorted Sunday
night and yesterday morning by two un-
known men. Covington had something like
500 with him, and one of the unknown men
informed one of the women that he intend
ed to rob him before he left the resort.
The woman at once notified the police that
two suspicious characters were at her place
and asked that they be arrested, but the
fellows became alarmed before the police
arrived and left Covington said he knew
that the men intended to rob him If they
could. but he thought that he was able to
take care of himself. When the facts be-
came known the women were released upon
their own recognizance.
Later in the day William Stolp. a car in
spector. who had been with the two men,
was arrested.
