THEIR MARRIAGE KEPT SECRET.
w. P. Oldham, Jr., and Miss Allen
Married August 1st-He Came to
Raleigh and Claimed His Wife
Sunday.

MARRIED August 1st 1896, at
Fair Bluff, S. c., Miss Matte Allen, of
Raleigh, and Mr. William 2. Oldham,
Jr., of Wilmington
1t was Sunday, September 9th, before
the world knew that Miss Allen had
become Mrs Oldham. The whole affair
is romantic enough, and the secret of
the union was kept well
The first of August Miss Allen was
visiting Mrs. Oldham at Wilmington.
She and young Mr.. Oldham went to a
camp meeting just over the South Car
olina line. 1t doesn't require license to
marry in South Carolina, and it was an
easy matter to conceal the marriage.
Only a day or two ago the secGet
leaked out. Oldham had visited his
bride at her home in this city in the
meantime, calling on her as a simple
friend. Sunday he came to the city
again and claimed her as his lawfully
welded wife.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Allen, the es-
teemed parents of the accomplished
young lady, were shocked by the sud
deness of it all, but they gave them
hearty blessings, and made the young
people happy.
Yesterday morning Mr.. and Mrs.
Oldham left for their new home in
Wilmington, carrying with them the
best wishes of their hosts of riends.

M'K1NLEY WROTE GOLD PLANK.
So Says H. Clay Evans on His Return
 From Canton.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, July HI. Clay Evans returned last night from Canton, O., where he had been in con- ference with Major Mckinley as to the course of the southern campaign.
 'NThe financial plank" said MT. Ev- ans, twas the proper thing, and the story that Platt and the eastern dele gates forced the platform on Mckinley is all wrong. The platform, gold stan- dard and all, was prepared by the west and put in shape before the eastern del egates came on. The plank was the work of the west and Mckinley knew all about it week before.''
 ''He probably wrote it himself" was was asked.
 MT. Evans nodded assent and con- tinued: T think that the paramount is- sue in the election will be the tariff question. Give us a sufficient amount of money to pay expenses, and all our money will be good-gold, silver or paper"

Han desire he had way of hunting up the nearest United States deputy marshal and informing on the individ- ual who sold Him the coffin varnish. There are in Yuma three of four Mex jeans who regret the indiscretion of trading with Juan and the tribe of bootleggers will now breathe freer.
 During the afternoon the Jail was visited by a number of Pimas who had little sorrow to waste over the victim. He had been vicious and was generally feared by his tribesmen, who told of him stories of depravity that had shocked even their stolid natures. It was whispered, that despite his age of 35, he had for years been known as a desperado and that on one occasion at the Casa Blanca, on the Sacaton res ervation, he had killed two white men and had thrown their bodies into an old well, the crime never coming to the knowledge of the authorities.
 His name, as explained by Interpre- ter Morgan, means Feathers of the Ground Hawk"
 At midnight he was not yet dead.
 This is the second suicide that has occurred at the new jail The other was that of a crazy man last October. He was shut up in one of the witness rooms and securing a bottle he had broken it, using the fragments to cut his wrists and legs and bleeding to death

Executive Committee Hears
 from Silver Men.
It Is Given to Understand In Plain Language that Nothing Else
 will Do.

CHICAGO, July 1.-The executive committee of the National Democratic committee convened at the Palmer house promptly at 12 o'clock today with Chairman Harrity and Wall, Sheerin, Sherley, Prather and Wallace present. Cable was the only absentee. The committee went into executive session. The silver committee, con- sisting of Senators Jones, Daniel and Turpie, Governors Altgeld and Stone, were promptly admitted. The question of temporary organization was dis cussed. The silver men asked that it should be definitely understood that they did not come as representative of the silver committee, but as delegates, representing the majority view of the convention. They expressed a desire to have an understanding upon the various questions of temporary chair man, seats for delegates and alternates, procedure regarding contesting delega- tiOns and the arrangement of the tenn porary roll call. Referring to the tem-
 porary roll call the members of the executive committee intimated that they would expect consideration.
 The committees were together an hour and half when the silver men withdrew. The proceedings were in- 1 formal. While no animosity was dis played on either side the conversation
 was very earnest Concerning the chairmanship the silver men stated that they would accept any man des- ignated by the National committee pro- vided he was a man of recognized standing in the party whose views
 were understood everywhere to be in accordance with their own on the , financial question. They were only
 concerned that the convention should . be recognized from the beginning as g silver convention.

EAGER FOR IMMORTALITY Two Suicides in One
 Day. John Tripp Would Make
 Doubly Sure. Juan, Wicked Pima, Finds His Jail Life lnsupp ortable-
 His Career.

John R. Tripp, aged 40, committed suicide yesterday morning, the razor and morphine both being called upon to hasten the end that most men even dread.
 He was found lying with feet in a ditch in an alfalfa field belonging to B. o. Slocum, near the Black canyon road, a mile and a half north of the city. Around was a very pool of blood which was flowing from a broad cut made in the throat, the weapon, an old razor, lying beside.
 Dr, Dameron was called and did all that could be done, sewing up the cut. The man was still unconscious, though dizzy from the effects of morphine swallowed before the resort to the razor. Though the trachea had been cut half the way through, so that water drunk spurted from the cut, the man still could talk feebly. He said he had ! taken about half the contents of the bottle of morphine that was found on the ground near by. The bottle had contained sixty grains; the usual dose of morphine is one-quarter of a grain i The pdCl6uL UOlu HIS ud1ll6 duu lOlu ludl he had been working for man named Jones on Humbug creek and had but lately returned to the city.
 Tripp was removed to the county hospital, where he died about 1( o'clock.
 In the afternoon an inquest held be. fore Justice Johnstone developed the facts above stated. It was shown tha, Tripp had been in this valley for sev- eral years and had worked for severa farmers John Burger, who knew hin well, said he had not an enemy in the world and was an excellent worker His only trouble was a passion fol liquor, spending az l,e would make fol i whisky. When tlks anects wore of ht was ever morose and melancholy.
 Nothing could be found out relative to Tripp's antecedents, the dying mar refusing to give any information on thu subject The burial will be today iron Randall & Davis.

FORETOLD HIS OWN DEATH.
Passed Away as His Dream Had Por-
 tended.

AMESBURY, Mass, July 1-There is a peculiar feature connected with the death of Norman Marston of Hompton. Last Thursday morning while at breakfast his morning mail was hand ed to him by the servant He pushed the letters away, saying: q don't think I will need to read any more let ters. l have had dream which tells me that I ann to die on the third day after the dream. I feel that my dream will come true"
 The family tried to dissuade him from placing any faith in the dream, but he was firm in the belief. He kept himself in seclusion in his room, and on Sunday the end came peacefully, as his dream had portended.

STRIKERS AND SHERIFF.
One Hundred Shots Exchanged in al
 Ohio Quarry.

WESTVIEW, Ohio, July lover a hundred shots were'eXchanged by dep uty sheriffs and strikers this morning at the Berea stone quarries. No one was killed as far as is known. Many have sore heads, the result of a hand to hand conflict. The strikers ap- preached the quarry through the woods with the avowed intention of routing the men at work. They were met by the sheriff and forty deputies who con- manded them to stop. The strikers be- gan shooting. The fight then became general. In a moment the strikers were repulsed and fell back to the woods. The men in the quarries are quitting through fear. It is believed the strikers will soon make another
 dash for the quarries. Fifty extra deputy sheriffs are coming from Cleve- land
 While the sherif's posse and strikers were at Westview, women in over whelming number, took the quarry by storm and drove out the workmen with clubs. The strikers are rapidly re- turning from Westview and have been calling in their pickets for the purpose of arming them. Sheriff Leek finds that he cannot cope with them, as he
 cannot keep all the points guarded The strikers would not allow any one inside their line after the fight, so ii
 was not possible to learn how many ot
 them had been injured. None of the sheriff's party were hurt. Four con- panies of the Fifth regiment have been requested to aid the sheriff.

THE CLAIMS OF TELLER.
The Only Man Who Can Solidify the
 Silver Forces.

CHICAGO, July 1.-Congressman l. Shafroth of Colorado was asked today to define the claims of the Teller men,
 and replied: Senator Teller is not a candidate in the sense of seeking the nomination as could a member of the Democratic party be. Friends of the senator are simply trying to impress upon the Democrats the enormous ad- vantage there would be in uniting upon Teller who could solidify all bimetallic forces. There is no question" MT. Shafroth continued, that the one man above all others whose name is a synonym for bimetallism is Teller. His speeches upon the silver question constitute a series of treatises upon the political economy which have given him the rank of the ablest statesman of the United States on that subject

AN INDIANS END.
How a Pima Sought Immunity From
 Pain in Death.

It is a common observation in Phoe- nix that crime and trouble in this city usually travel tandem and that death by violence invariably has another within day or two. So it was in this case. Shortly after Il an Indian, known to his brother Pimas as Nea- put-vau-pau, and to the jail register as Juan, committed suicide by cutting his throat.
 Juan was the same Indian noted in yesterdays Republican as the center of attraction the day before from his paroxysms of pain from an intestinal disorder caused by eating cooked food He was treated by County Physician Mahoney, who gave him simple reme- dies and the jailers allowed him to pass the night on the grass outside the jail. There was no fear of escape, the fellow having but couple of days to serve of his twelve days sentence for drunkenness.
 This morning the Indian in broken Spanish told the jailer he was feeling much better and told Interpreter John Owens that he had almost recovered. In whisper he added, however, that he had learned that one of the deputy sheriffs had telephoned for a man to come and cut his liver out. Still Juan ate his breakfast with seeming appe- tite and no further attention was paid him.
 Juan was observed to go to one of the closets, situated in one of the out side Womens cells and shortly after Jailer Slankard was drawn thither by hearing strange noise He found the Indian on a quilt spread on the cement floor, the unfortunate on his hands and knees, the blood squirting from a hor- rible gash in his throat, and deluging the cell Dr. Mahoney, who was has, tily summoned, sewed up the wound with all care, but could extend no hope as the trachea had been completely 1 severed in such manner that no union could be made of the parts.
 The deed had been done with a car penter's draw-knife, a great heap ot tools having been piled up in the room from the plumber captured in the raid on Negro Withrow's den.
 The Pima was taken into the cement corridor around the steel cage and there laid out to await the end, the prisoners crowding to the grating te watch his breathing and to talk in sub. dued tones over the affair.
 Juan was not what might be called a good Indian. He had penchant fol getting his hide full of the stuff that is sold by the bootleg vendors under tht erroneous name of whisky and was al adept in securing the article, despite the regulations of the United States And that was not the worst. Afte having accomplished his bacchana
