MURRAY DEAD
Utah's Ex-Governor Passes
Away at His Old Home
in Kentucky.
Had Gone East in Search o.
Health, but Rapidly
Declined.
A Man Who Was Prominent in
Political Circles of Three
States.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Nov. ia tele-
gram received here tonight stated that
General Eli Houston Murray died this
afternoon at $3.50 o'clock at Bowling
Green, KY. He left this city a month ago
with his family in the hope that return
to his old home in Kentucky would bene-
fit his health. He had been rapidly fail
ing in health for six months prior to his
departure.
General Murray was born in Breckin-
ridge County, KY, on September II,
1874, and was therefore 50 years old. He
entered the United States army when II
years old as a volunteer and commanded
brigade in Kentucky in 1862 and 1868,
being the youngest rigadier-general in
the army. In 1865 he received the brevet
of brigadier-gen of volunteers for SER
vices during the war. He was appointed
United States Marshal for Kentucky in
1855 and held office until 1876 when he
became manager of the Louisville Com
merciai. He was appointed Governor of
Utah in 1880 and reappointed by President
Arthur in 1884 for a term of four years,
but resigned before the expiration of his
term. His administration as Governor
was marked by energetic opposition to
Mormonism and the spread OF polygamy.
! General Murray came direct from Salt
Lake to San Diego in 1887 and became in
terested in land matters in Lower Caliior-
mia, being the principal owner of the
Valley of the Palms, fifty miles south of
San Diego. He was also interested in irri-
CATION enterprises, but in these as well as
in land investments fortune deserted him.
In 1890 he was editor of the San Diego
| Union and later candidate for nomina-
tion for Congressman in the old Sixth
| District of California, but was defeated.
He had lived here quietly until he left for
Kentucky last month.
General Murray. before his last illness,
was magnificent specimen of physical
manhood and very popular. He was a
cousin of Ex-Governor Crittenden of Mis-
souri,, Consul General to Mexico at the
present time. General Murray leaves a
widow, one SON and one daughter, both
nearly grown.

Train Crefr.

REDDING. CAL, Nov. 1s-A small sized
battle was waged in this city last night be-
tween gang of hobos and the train crew
of overland passenger No. 16. The train
was delayed seventeen hours on account
of storms in Oregon, and as it pulled out
of the station here seven bobos attempted
TO board it to beat their way south. The
train crew proceeded to put them off and
a running fight ensued.
Bricks, rocks and clubs were used as
weapons. Conductor Depanger narrowly
escaped being killed. One of the infuri-
ated hobos picksd up brick from near.
by pile and, taking deliberate aim, hurled
it at the conductor. The latter fortunately
dndged and the missile meant for him
struck the car side. BY heroic work the
train crew came out victorious. The train

Proposed Currency Reform Given
Up for the Present.
London, Nov. 1.-The correspondent
of the London Times at Berlin fur
nishes his newspaper with an i'm
portant statement regarding the
finances of Russia. He says:
l hear from st. Petersburg that the
car has decided to postpone the cur
rency reform which it was proposed to
submit to the state council this after
noon. This proposed reform of the
Russian currency, briefly, was to be
an introduction of new gold coinage
to correspond exactly with the present
value of the silver and the paper
rouble. The ministry of finance is Of
fering to purchase bullion and foreign
gold. Some 1000 tons of new coined
silver are arriving every fortnight
from France, and the new copper coin
age is being struck at the mint in
Birmingham. All Russian officials are
now paid partly in gold and silver and
the public is compelled to accept metal
to which it has not hitherto been used.
The proposed coinage has been called
devaluation and depreciation of the
currency by it's opponents and most
disastrous consequences are foretold,
including the probable eff1ux Of gold.

He will speak at half dozen halls

mittee addressed a letter yesterday to
the Democratic committee asking the
members to meet the Republican COM
mittee in conference this morning.
One representative of the silver peo-
pie appeared and in his presence a res
olution was passed which effectively
prohibited any movement south Of

Canton, Nov. 1.-The demonstration
have been continuing in Canton all
week with an increase of vim and pa
rode effects scarcely expected for the
closing days of the campaign. Chaun-
coy NJ. Depew added enthusiastic COM
ment OH the marvellous scenes enacted
here when he said that lengthy and
descriptive as the newspaper reports
have been he had had no appreciation
of the wonderful oyations through
which Maj. Mckinley was passing,
and no conception of the magnitude of
the work he had been doing.
No more novel or prettier campaign
sight has been presented in this cam
paign OF notable features than the one
which greeted Maj. Mckinley to-day
when he returned from the depot
whittier he had accompanied his dis
tinguished guest, Chauncey M. Depew.
Most conspicuous in the throng Of peo-
pie that crowded the yards and streets
about his home were thousands Of pub
lie and Catholic parochial school boys
of Canton waving American flags and
shouting for Mckinley. Back Of them
and all around them were the school
girls of Canton, and still further in the
rear were the fond parents of these
children, men and women Of Canton,
in countless numbers. The affair which
attracted this assemblage was ar
ranged by the school boys themselves.
When they decided to call on Maj. Nc
Kinley to pay their respects it was
early concluded to carry out the plans
pursued by older people, and this was
accomplished most successfully.
Maj. Mckinley was visibly affected
by the demonstration Of his old neigh
bors and their children, and it was
with much feeling that he delivered
an address in response to the greetings.
This was the fitting demonstration
with which college day ended.
The demonstration of the college
students, according to MI. Henning,
one of the men in charge, was partici-
pated in by representatives of forty
five institutions of learning. They
hurrahed and yelled and made the
town resound. Besides response by
Maj. Mckinley, the students enjoyed
talk from Chauncey M. Depew. and
shook hands with both speakers.

Excitement in Wall Street Is Now

SubsidfnE.
New York, Nov. l. - There was q
notable absence of excitement in Wall
street at the opening considering the
extreme stringency of money yester-
day. Higher London quotations,
scarsity of stocks offering in the local
market and rumors of financial relief
measures to be taken by the banks
caused a confident sentiment. The
only loan reported to II o'clock was
of $4,000 at so per cent; this was an
outside transaction as regular loans
are not made in the stock exchange
until II o'clock. In banking circles it
is understood that an informal agree
ment has been reached by the presi-
dents of six or seven institutions to
pool their issues in the event of money
reaching what is considered a pro-
hibitive figure or upon any indication
of distress in the street or in mercan-
tile circles that will draw upon their
reserves to as large an extent as may
be necessary. 1t it rumored that the
banks are prepared to put out some
$5,0OO,00O to $10,0O0,OO0. No official
action will be taken by the clearing
house as body. The last loan was at

Kansas City, Nov. 1.-At Fayette,
Mo-, Generals Palmer and Buckner re-
ceived very bad treatment, and for a
time violence was threatened the can
didates. The party was greeted by a
bowling mob which seemed bent on
causing trouble from the moment the
train stopped. No sooner had the two
generals emerged upon the car plat
form than Bryan banner, bearing the
inscription "Fayette Democratic Club"
was thrust into Gen. Palmer's face by
its bearer. A citizen named Williams
tried to urge peace and the gold men
rallied and rushed the Bryan banner
back. This only made the disturbers
more ugly.
A man tried to punch Gen. Buckner
with a flag pole and Williams seized
it and rushed upon him and began
beating him. The rioters then tried to
get at the generals and strike them
with their banners Scores of men
fought bitterly around the car, women
were pushed about and knocked down
and many blows were exchanged. An
old farmer climbed on to the rear end
of the car and shouted: "You are car
rying Missouri for Mckinley" He
was pulled down by the crowd. After
five minutes of fighting, screaming
and footing Of horns, the train pulled
| out without the candidates even at
tempting to make a speech. Most Of
the rioters were young men and be-
longed to the so-called Fayette Lemo-
cratic club. They wore high white
hats with Bryan's name inscribed
thereon and white bandages. Most of
| them seemed to belong to the well-to-
do element. Mrs Palmer and Mrs.
! Buckner, who are accompanying the
candidates, were witnesses of the
| scenes of disorder
| Aboard the train the party showed
the utmost surprise at the treatment
accorded. Said Gen. Buckner: Cali
through Iowa we were treated with
great respect and courtesy. did not
believe we would be shown such dis
respect in Missouri
According to accounts which will be
published by the Kansas City Times,
a Democratic paper, Generals Palmer
and Buckner were in a large measure
responsible for the disorders at Paris
and Fayette by reason of their al
fusion to individual Bryan men in I'm.
complimentary terms.
