A DESPERATE CONVICT,
He Attacks and Stabs Two Prison Keepers
with u Knife,

WIN u hntIe.
TRENTON, July l5.-John Monahan, a
convict in the New Jersey state prison,
made desperate attack on his keepers
with knife yesterday. Captain William
H. Hensing, acting center keeper, was
gashed in the throat, and Clerk Thomas
Is. Madden wascut severely on both hands.
Their wounds will not result seriously.
Monahan has served three and a half
years OF five years sentence for assault
and battery. He had for some time been
suspected of carrying knife, and while
no was exercising in the Jail yard yester-
day his cell was searched The weapon
was not found, and when Monahan was
brought back to his cell Captain Henslng
ordered him to stand in the ''center," with
his face to the wall. Then he said "You
have something want" Monahan turned
quickly and answered that he had knife
and that he was going to use II to cut out
Hensing's heart With that he lunged at
the Keeper, who Is a much smaller man
than tho convict, and cut deep cash in
his throat Madden ran to the rescue, and
seizing Monahan from behind threw him
to the floor The convict wildly swung
his knifa and inflicted tho wounds upon
Madden.
Other deputies came to the assistance of
the keepers, and Monahan was secured
and locked in dungeon. TO get the knife
from him it was necessary to pry open his
hand with stick. The convict has been
acting strangely Of late, and an inquest
into his sanity will be held fhe is proved
sane complaint will be made to the Mer.
Ger county grand jury, and he will be in.
dlctcd for atrocous assault and battery
with intent to kill.

Populists shall abandon any idea of sep
alate and distinct national ticket and in.
doTse outright the candidates and the plat
form of the Chicago convention. This
proposition will be supported by tho
friends of Senator Henry NJ Teller, nearly
all the Populist members of the United
States senate, and the Peoples party
leaders in many of the western states.
From tho south come delegates and
Peoples party leaders who are not dele
gates to the convention, urging another
proposition-to put up a presidential
ticket adopt II platform, run presidential
electors in all the states where the Peoples
party has an organization, and then, when
the time comes to cast the vote in the
electoral college, let the Populists and
Democrats combine on the strongest man,
whether that be Bryan or the Populist
nominee.
Vigorous objection is urged against this
on tho ground that it would be dangerous
to the common cause Of free silver 1t
would divide the strength of its adherents,
and in some of the close states, where one
or tho other holds the balance of power, a
division of their strength might give the
state to Mckinley.
Tho convention Of the National Silver
party, which convenes in this city July 22
at the Exposition building, will vie in
numbers with that of the popuiists, which
meets the same day. The National Silver
convention will havo 200 delegates and
as many alternatcs, coming from every
state in the union.

A reporter yesterday interviewed Am

things he said: "Cnndidly, am so dis.

smoke must rise from tho field before the
line of national defense can be defined by
myself o: perhaps by any Democrat.

not ono word of which withdraw at pres
cnt and which seems to me entirely ap.
plicablo at this moment. Perhaps these
words fell then upon deaf ears, but they
are as Jruo TO day as they were then, as
events have made but too plain.
Il expressed my views of the currency
question lately ut the dinner to tho Hon.
Ornble Artillery Company last week and
at the Fourth of July dinner tho week be-

absolute necessity Of the gold standard of

would ncces sarily follow its loss. On the
other hand u system Of plumber by taxa
ton has created II national distress for
which rcpudiation and ruin are supposed
to he remedies.
