A. J. Barthelow, who killed
Alice, is city marshal of Lare-
do. He is a middle aged man,
of powerful physique. In dis
position he is quiet and i'm
presses one as a gentleman.
For years he has been a river
guard and has a reputation OF
being a man of considerable
nerve. He was made assistant
city marshal of Laredo under
City Marshal Yglesias and
when the latter was deposed
from Office last winter Barthe-
low succeeded him. He is well
known to the city and federal
authorities of this place, who
have had dealings with him,
and speak highly of him as a
man and an officer.

rade O'Donnell, republican candidate
for governor of Michigan, and Hon.
William Warner, of Missouri, past COM
.mander in chief. These have all signi-
fed their acceptance of invitations to
be present and address their old COM
rades.
Simultaneous with this gathering
there will be two additional national
bodies at st. Paul, both of these having
association with, or rather, growing out
CT the former organization. The first
and older of these is the Woman's Relief
corps, composed of wives, sisters,
mothers and daughters of the veterans,
and the name suggests the object of
the body, it being TO afford suceor TO old
soldiers and their families whenever
they may be in need. The president of
the Woman's Relief corps is Mrs. Liza
beth A. Turner, of Boston.
The other organization is the Ladies
of the Grand Army of the Republic,
Mrs. Catherine f. Hirst, of Louisville,
president. Its scope Is the same as that
of the Woman's Relief corps, but any
loyal woman is eligible to membership,
whether or not her father, brother, hus-
band or son was soldier in the late war.
Both of these organizations are entirely
independent of the Grand Army of the

ering of that body since the memorable
gathering at Washington in 1892, when
strong desire to see the old ground
gone over in the great review of 1865
and to visit the southern battlefields
attracted exceptionally large numbers
of soldiers and their wives.
st. Paul is capitally fitted for en-
tertaining the encampment, as she has
three excellent halls, any one of which
is sufficiently large for the holding of
the body, while the hotel accommodn-
tons of that city and Minneapolis are
ample for all comers. The vicinage Of
fers many attractions, and during the
gathering excursions will be made to
the various points of interest within Il
radius of 100 miles.
The first day, Tuesday, will be given
to the council of administration, a body
composed of As members, one from
each department, whose duties consist
of o revision of the work of the several
officers of the body. From this council
is made sup the executive committee of
seven, the quartermaster general and
adJutant general, with the commander
in chief being eX-officio members.
The grand parade, which will go over
q course nearly two miles in length,
will take place on Wednesday, COM
mencing at ten o'clock, and will con-
sumo the greater part of the day.
There is confidence on the part of Com
mander Walker and of Quartermaster
Gen. Burbank that not less than So,
600 old soldiers will be in line, and the
latter thinks the number may swell to
$4,000. He declares that interest in the
grand army grows with the years; that
the veterans make new acquaintances
at each gathering and are naturally de-
sirous of seeing them again, as well as
thouse who fought with them in the
same regiment and have been their
friends through more than a genera
tion.
The third and fourth days, Thursday
and Friday, will be given to the actual
work of the encampment, and during
this time advantage will be taken Of
the opportunity to view the scenic
beauties of the country around about
the city.
During the encampment camp fires,
five or six in number, will be held in
various portions of the city every even
ing. beginning with Tuesday. The man
ayers have been fortunate in securing
orators of note, all of whom are very
popular with the members of the
grand army. Among the number ara
Gen. John c. Black, of Chicago; Wash
ington Turner, secretary of state OF
Michigan; Gen. R. B. Beath, past COM
mander in chief. of Pennsylvania; Com

Mr. Bryan's Mail.

LINCOLN, Neb., July ao.-The life of
candidate for the presidency did not
have so rosey tinge to Mr.. Bryan
Sunday. He has wonderful capacity
for hard work, but man even of his
strength would be appalled, at the pros
pect of wading through the thousands
of letters and kilograms which litter
the oak desk in his library. 1t was six
o'clock Sunday evening before Mr..
Bryan, with the assistance of Mrs.
Bryan and w. +. Sewind, who are act
ing as secretaries to the nominee, had
opened and sorted Saturdays mail, and
then they sighed as they looked at the
big bundle of mail matter that came
from the post Office Sunday.

Republic, although they both meet at
The same time with it, for the reasons
that most of the members have relatives
who are members of the grand army
and it is a matter of convenience that
the meetings be held at the same time
and in the same city, The Ladies of the
Grand Army of the Republic are espe-
cially strong in Pennsylvania, outnum-
bering the Woman's Relief corps in that
state, but the latter are much stronger
numerically throughout the United
States. Both organizations promise to
hold interesting meetings and to carry
out varied programmes.
The present officers of the Grand
Army of the Republic are Ivan N.
Walker. commander in chief; Irwin
Robbins, adjutant general, and A. j.
Burbank, quartermaster general; and
these officers are kept busy arranging,
for the coming gathering, Quartermas-
ter General Burbank, whose hendquar-
ters are in Chicago, is especially active
In promoting the work and giving his
attention to it's details.
Naturally enough, and as always is
! the case in advance of the encamp-'
ment, greatest concern focuses about
the selection of a successor to Com-
mander in Chief Walker. Three candi-
dates are in the field and nominations
would seem to have closed. the aspir-
ants for the place are T. S. Clarkson, of
Omaha; Daniel IL. Bcllou, of Rhode
Island, and John Linehan, of New
Hampshire. All of these men have eX-
cellent war records, and are worthy and
good citizens.
Mr.. Clarkson was originally from
Illinois, from which state he entered
the army in 1861. Going west after the
war he has prospered in business, he
being very successful apd astute
broker of Omaha. lie would seem to
be the most formidable candidate for
the position. AT last years encamp-
ment he was q candidate for command
er in chief but the sentiment for Mr.
Walker was SO strong that in the in
terest of harmony lsc withdrew. There
is widespread feeling among his COM
rades, especially in the west, that this
action, together with Mr.. Clarkson's
record as a soldier and citizen, entities
him to the distinction. All that mill
tates against the success Of Mr.. Clark
son is the fact that those OF the past
| five commanders in chief were western
men, but as an Offset to this the west
is the great recruiting ground of the
grand army. In this portion of the
country is greater enthusiasm, and the
preponderance of acquisitions to the
order is from the geographical region

Horribly Chopped With an Ak
in the Hands Of a Woman.
Scene on Shanty- Boat on the Ohio
River Above Huntington, W. Va.
The Father and Daughter Killed Outright
A Second Daughter Will Die--Two 9th
er Children Are In "a Serious Condi-
ton NJ urderess is Threatened.

HUNTINGTON, VIVA, July 2o.-Six
miles above here, at the mouth of
Three-mile creek, occurred one of the
most horrible murders ever known on
the upper Ohio waters
The scene was on a shanty-boat and
the killed are A. j. Call aged 45; Net.
tie Call. his daughter, "a. Lollie Call,
another daughter, is fatally injured,
and those in n critical condition are
Grace Call, II, and Otis Call, t3.
Late Sunday night Call and his fam
lily retired Eta Robbins, aged "a, was
at their house, and retired with one of
the daughters. A little boy, who was
sleeping with his father, makes the
following statement, he being the only
one outside the Robbins woman able to
talk.
He said: "At 3 o'clock Monday morn
ing | was awakened by Eta Robbins
cutting my father with double-bit
AK. My sisters, Lollie and Nettie, ran
into our room and Miss Robbins turned
on them. She killed Nettie and cut
Lollie several times, when Lollie
leaped from the boat into the river.
She then cut several of us children and
then threw the AK at Lollie, who was
swimming to the shore" Lollie is IA
tally injured.
The woman acknowledged the kill
ing of A. j. Call, but denies killing the
others. Calls head was almost cut off.
and his heart was visible from wound
in his breast.
The head of the girl killed was also
almost cut off and her heart cut out. The
children were cut in dozen different
places. A coroner's jury was impanel-
ed. The verdict was that Eta Rob-
bins committed the murders.
The boat was cut loose and brought
here and the woman placed in Jail.
Feeling is very strong, and thousands
of excited persons line the river bank
and many threats are heard

which Mr.. Clarkson represents. He is
q man about 55 years of age, is affablc
in manner, makes friends, and holds
them, and possesses in strong degree
those qualities which go to make up
the successful leader. He has courage,
tact, organizing qualities and knows
how to control himself as well as to
direct others. He has legions of friends
who are enthusiastic over his candi-
dacy and who predict that he will be
elected by an overwhelming majority.
Mr.. Bellou's candidacy is somewhat
interfered with in the fact that Mr..
Linehan also halls from New England,
that section naturally dividing its
strength between the two. He enlisted
as private in the Twelfth Rhode Island
infantry and was afterwards promoted
to lieutenantcy. His war record is
a clean one, and covers the four years of
strife. Since the war he has practiced
his profession, that of law, in which he
has been very successful. Mr.. Bellou
has long been actively identified with
the grand army, he, like the other two
candidates, having filled the positions
of post and department commander.
| He is "a clear-cut, live and energetic
man, whose merit qualities him emf
nently for the position to which he
| aspires.
Mr.. Linehan has long been active in
grand army circles in New Hampshire,
and, in fact, throughout New England.
He is a man of about so, held in high
repute by his neighbors and most zeal
Gus in furthering all matters in which
| the old soldiers are interested.
| The encampment may well felicitate
itself upon the fact that it has such
worthy and good men from whom to
make choice. A great deal of quiet
work is being done by the candidates
and their friends, especially among the
various posts throughout the United
States, but Mr.. Clarkson seems mani
festly in the lead. The aim of the
grand army has alw ays been to have
regard to the various localities, and
following this practice, the Office would
go this year To an eastern man. But Mr.
Clarkson Is so popular, so eminently
fitted for the position and so thorough
ly in touch with the order and it's mem
bers that it is not believed he can pos
sibly be beaten. At least that is the
way his friends talk, and they are will
ing to stake money on their judgment
In this matter.
Meantime every possible care is prom
ised by the st. Paul people and the off
GERS of the grand army that no posi-
BILE thing shall be omitted the supplying
Of which will conduce TO the comfor
and convenience of the soldiers.
