The Democratic Convention.

CHICAGO, June 27.-The democratic
national convention will convene in the
Coliseum in this city on July Z. All of
the COG delegates entitled to seats have
been selected. OF the ffty-one States
and territories, SO have declared for free
coinage of silver at q ratio of sixteen to
one without waiting for concurrence by
other nations. Sixteen declared for the
gold standard, and two FLORIDA and
District of Columbia) adopted no cur
rency planks. SIS of the delegates are
pledged to vote for free silver and 32S
for gold. The breaking of the unit rule
decisions in pumber of contests and
the likelihood of increased representa-
ton from free silver territories will in
crease the number of votes for free
silver probably to six hundred and
forty two. Thus with the silver men in
control of the organization it is probable
that change of the two.thirds rule
will not be necessary. There promises
to be warm fight in the convention,
precipitated by the silver men, over the
unit rule.

SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 81, 1885,

THE ASSUMPTION of some OF the goid
standard democratic newspapers OF the
North is ridiculous. and naturally does
the cause they advocate harm, instead
of good. They advise, instruct, and
threaten the Chicago convention in re-
spect of what it shall, and shall not do,
though, in the very same issues, they
ayow their intention of disregarding its
action unless it be in exact accordance
with their own ideas. In other
words, they say they will support the
regularly and fairly nominated demo-
cratic candidate for President, fit shall
suit their fancy to do so, but if not, they
will support the republican nominee,
and defeat him, as the mugwump, cue
koos and cleveland democrats" did in
New York, Kentucky, and Maryland.
OF course such impertinence provokes
tho resentment of the average disin-
terested democrat, and will naturally
tend to induce the members of the con-
vention to oppose any and every thing
the newspapers referred to advocate,
good or bad.

PRAYED Against a Bill.

NEW ORLEANS, June 27.-The Rev.
DR.. Easen, the chaplain of the legisla-
ture, created very much of surprise in
the Senate yesterday. The Senate COM
mittee decided some days ago to repeal
the Sunday law, so far as New Orleans is
concerned, and there is no doubt of the
passage of the bill. Yesterday DR..
Easen, when called up to begin the leg
islative services with prayer, opened
with strong denunciation of the bill
that has been agreed upon, and, in the
form of prayer, presented religious
arguments against the bill. He prayed
that the Almighty would 80 shed His
light upon the deliberations of the leg.
islsture that it would not be led to turn
the Sabbath day into one of bacchana-
liam feasting, revelry. and drunkenness.
The prayer made sensation among
the Senators, but there was no way Of
calling the previous question, and they
had to listen.

Mills to Shut Down.

LOWELL, Mass, June 27.-The senli-
ment among Lowell mill managers on
the proposition of the Arkwright Club
to shut down the cotton mills half the
time in July and August, seems to be
decided, although they do not
care to say much about it. With one
possible exception, the Lowell mills
are doing we'll. 1t is not generally be.
lieved here that unanimous consent
among the New England mills can be
obtained for shut down and, unless
the action is unanimous, the Lowell
mills are not likely, is is believed, to go
into the deal.
The stock of print cloths on hand to-
day is 100000 pieces, the largest
stock by some hundreds of thousand

try. The demand for print cloths and
kindred goods Is limited and it is diff
cult to see how manufacturers can ex
pect to get any advance on the part OF
prices even with the proposed curtail
ment of production for four weeks dur
ing the summer.

There has been di cussion of late as to what
course the eastern gold democrats should
adopt if free silver coinage is jammed down
their throats in the Chicago convention. Mr.
Whitney, Senator Hill and others believe
that the free silver men in the convention

about any other result as to money plank

Cooking, the Murderer, Lynched.
La PLATA, Md, 27.-Joseph Cock
ing, who was awaiting trial here for the
murder on April 20 of his wife and sis
ter-in-law, was taken from the Jail at
an early hour this morning and hanged
by mob composed of about thirty
masked men, half of whom, in addition
to their DISCUSSES, masqueraded in wom-
ans attire. The rickety old Jail build
ing was in charge of Washington Burch,
an aged colored man, who, after some
little show of resistance, banded over the
keys to the crowd. Cooking followed
his captors without a murmur to the
bridge which is about 200 yards from
the prison. After placing q moose
about the mans neck, he was
asked by the leader of the gang
to confess his guilt, but said
he was innocent. Asked to make his
peace with God, he replied that he did
not feel like praying. The men then
pushed him from the rail of the bridge
and the wretched man dropped ter
feet. After watching the body unit |
they were satisfied that their victim
was dead, the mob silently dispersed.
Sheriff Wade, who lives about GO yarGa
from the Jail building knew nothing #
what had occurred until after daylight.
The citizens of the town had no init
nation of the affair until at sunrise
when they found the body of the wretch
ed man hanging lifeless from the bridge.
Cooking was born in England in 1860.
For several years he had been the pro-
prietor of country store at Hill Top,
nine miles from this place. On the
night of April % his wife and his sister
in-law, Miss Daisy Miller, were muir
dered in their rooms, being hacked to
death with q Ratchet. Cooking WAS
found lying on the floor of the cellar,
his clothes despatched with blood, and
several slight scratches about his face
and hands. His feet were hound with
piece of rope. His story was that
two men had catered the house and Of
ter assaulting him had bound him and
thrown him into the cellar. An inves.
tigation satisfied the police that Cock.
ing was the perpetrator of the crime,
and he was indicted and taken to Pditi-
more for safety, the authorities fearing
violence. Cooking %as recently re-
turned to La Plate and the case was
set for trial at the next term of court.
Several theories have been advanced
but the real motive for the dastardly
double murder has never been discover

THE MOST effective wisdom is that
which enables q man to so treat evils
as to extract good from them; to make
danger conducive to safety. The evil
dent intention of the Chicago conven-
ton is to nominate q silver man on q
silver platform. A large majority OF
the delegates to that convention are in
favor of free silver, and as they have
so expressed themselves at home, they
will be afraid to do otherwise at Chi
cago. Free silver, as far as the con-
vention is concerned, is apparently in
exorable, and opposition to it must
prove utterly futile. Regret is the vain
est of all things; therefore, instead OF
sorrowing over the condition, as some
Southern democrats are doing, they
should assist those who are endeavor-
ing to keep the party together and en-
able it to win the -GGght, SO that, if vic
tory shall perch upon its banners, their
counsel may then be needed, and at
least some of the dangers ofsuccess be
avoided by their prudent advice.

Gentry Found Guilty.

PHILADELPHIA, June 27.-The jury
In the case of James B. Gentry, the
actor, on trial for the murder of his
actress sweetheart, Madgs Drysdale,
known on the stage as Madge Yorke,
returned verdict this morning Of
guilty of murder in the first degree.
Gentry is a physical wreck, and as he
heard the pronouncing of his doom, his
appearance was pitiable. When the
jury returned into court this morning
Gentry, who had been very sick during
the night, was led to the dock tremb-
ling like leaf. Tears rolled down his
cheeks and his manner was one of utter
detection. When the clerk of the court
asked the foreman of the jury shave
you agreed upon verdict" the prison
ers mouth twitched perceptibly and he
gasped for breath. The words equity
Of murder in the first degree" fell up
on Gentry as though he had been
struck heavy blow. He grasped the
railing OF the dock with both hands,
and it was with difficulty that he re-
manned upon his feet. He sought re.
lief in tears, and when he was allowed
to sit down he buried his face in his
hands and continued to sob. The
scene was very impressive. The YER
dict was formally recorded, end Mr..
Brooke then made the customary mo-
ton for new trial. Thursday next
was set by Judge Yerkes as the day for
hearing argument upon the motion.
Gentry was taken to his cell in the city
hall supported by tipstaf, and later
in the day he was returned to the coun
