"A terrible accident occurred a short dis
lance east OF Marshall, Mimi, in which
two little girls were killed and another
seriously injured. A little son of Mr..
Beltzort was herding cattle with a pony.
OF his sisters, 1 Or s years old, and a
little daughter Of Dan Durand came dow
10 play with a herder. During the play
he tied them all three in a string with a
a long rope. One end Of the rope was
attached to the saddle on the pony, and
some act OF the children irightenedlhim so
ina he ran away, dragging the girls
about half a mile to Mr.. Gaffney's house.
Mrs. Gaffney stopped the pony and cut
the children loose. but the daughter of
Dan Durand and one of Mr.. Beltzort's
daughters were dead. The other girl will
live, it is thought, though she is badly
hurt. The little boy was nearly crazed

Awful Discovery.

Lancaster, Pa, June 1.-The body of
a child years old, chopped and mutt
lated in a most horrible manner, was
discovered at Colebrook. There lis not
the least doubt but that the child was
murdered and then flendishly dismem-
bered in order to prevent Identification.
Coebrook is very near the boundary
between Lancaster and Lebanon coun-
ties. Sunday school children yesterday
strayed away from their direct road and,
taking path in the mountains, made
the shocking discovery.
They summoned the nearest neigh
bors, who, after removing the body to q
safe place, notified the Lebanon county
authorities They have made dilligent
search for the relatives of the child, but
thus far they have not found the slight
est clue. Tue arms aud legs of the little
one were chopped off. The remainder
of the body was wrapped in material
such as is used by furniture dealers in
packing goods. The body was badly de-
composed and the supposition is that it
was secreted at least two months ago.

worth while if the teachers in the pub

show in detail the amount of the expen-
diture involved per month, per day,

the mind could be better enabled to

a WAsHINGToS dispatch on Wednes-
day says: The free silver people are
claiming that they will have a majority
of not less than l60 in :he Chicago con-
vention. A prominent leader said
The platform Will be for free coinage
sixteen to one. The next step will be to
place our can didate for president before
the people. 1t will be necessary, per-
haps. to repeal the two-thilds rule. If
there are not two-thirds in the conven-
ton ready 10 go as far as we wish to-
wards silver, bare majority can repeal
the rule, and this will be done as surely
as there is heaven above us. The sill
yer men will form the plank and name
the candidate.
The names most prominently men
toned for the presidency are Vice Presi
dsnt Stevenson and Ex-Governor Boise,
of Iowa. Mr.. Stevenson is a silver man
who has the antipathy of President
Cleveland and these two considerations
make him popular among the free
coinage people. Any man who doesn't
like Cleveland becomes a favorIte of the
free silver men. Boies has great
strength. 1t is generally believed that
unless conditions change he will be the
nominee.

The battle for the Republican nomin-
alton for the presidency ended, says the
Philadelphia Times, when Senator
Quay's visit to Mckinley at Canton,
Ohio, was announced. He could have
gone there only by special invitation
from Mckinley, and such an invitation
could have but one purpose--to bring
into harmony the leading elements of
the opposition to McKinley's nomina-
ton.
Mckinley will be nominated for pres
ident on the first ballot, and while the
vote of Pennsylvania. with four eXcep-
tions. NAV be formally cast for Quay
when the roll is called, every thing now
points to the transfer of the unanimous
vote of the state t) Mckinley before the
ballot closes AS there will be no ele-
mept in the convention so hostile to Me
Kinley as to oppose him after majorl-
ty shall have declared for him, II Is
more than likely that his nomination
VIII DE Hisuc uuahliibuS oN'ON
shall be any computation of the votes
cast for the different candidates.
This condition obviates what at one
time threatened to be a serious source OF
discord in the organization of the st
Louis convention. There are more con-
tested seats than were ever before known
l., oIfd tEa lines
were drawn as a rule for and against
McKinley's nomination. Especially ID
the Southern states are there many con-
tested delegations, with both sides of the
contests chiefly commercial. The mon
ey value of Southern delegates was ended
by the Canton conference between Nc
Kinley and Quay, and no interest will
now assume the responsibility of con-
tributing the money necessary to bring
contesting delegations to st. Lous.
The only question of interest relating
to contested seats will be as to the atti
tude they assume on the money question,
but that is not vital issue, as rule,
between the disputants in the southern
states. They care little for the tariff
for sound money, or for cheap money
Most of them want to go to the conveh,
ton simply for what is in it in the sale
of their votes, and as there will be nc
contest for the presidency, the bottom i:
entirely out of the speculative contests il
the southern states.
That Mckinley and Quay are in en-
tire accord is no longer a question Of
doubt. While McKinley's nomination
was reasonably certain with or without
the support of Quay, Mckinley and hi:
complications at ST. Louis, and some
grave complications which might aris,
in the contest, by the Canton harmony
and it is understood that Quay will no
accept the position of chairman Of the
national committee although he coulC
have commanded i; had he so desired
but be will probably be the natious
committeeman from the state and Civ,
to :he campaign whatever attention maN
be necessary.
In point Of fact the -. Louis conven
ton will be a mere ratification Of Nc
Hinley's nomination, and.McKinley anC
has friends exhibit wisdom in seekin,
to place Reed second on the ticket evel
though he shall decline, and in harmon
izing all the interests of the party in sup
port of Mckinley and his administra
ton.
