GETTING THE RUN.

The B. e o. S. w. employees who
have not been walking chalk line
are pulling up with jerk. The Off
cials are after them. Following the
discharge of o. T. Dewey several days
ago comes the discharge of another
well known man on this end of the
line. The Chillicothe News says:
Conductor James Simpson is no long
er connected with the B. & o. S. w.
railway. His connection was severed
in a rather summary manner, yester-
day afternoon, and Mr.. Dan Touhey is
at present taking his run on the Love-
land accommodation.
Jim Simpson was train dispatcher
here for short time, in 1888. He was
afterwards given a run on the Love
land accommodation, with head-quar
ters at Loveland. He has not been
treading in the straight and narrow
way, however, and yesterday after
noon, when he went to take his run
he was informed that his services were
no longer required. As stated Mr.,
Touhay has the run at present although
as yet it has not teen definitely as
signed to anyone.

An Indianapolis Woman Who May Throw
Some Light on the Pearl Bryan Murder
Case.
INDIANAPoLIs, Ind, Feb. TO- Mar
shall William Il. Starr, of Greencastle,
received a letter on Saturday evening
from Indianapolis, bearing the Union
station postmarli of ten 4. M, Febru-
ary s. 1t said:
February 3, s9s.-sir: Some information
can be obtained concerning the murder of
Miss Pesal Bryan. IL you will call on or arrest
Miss May Hollingsworth, No Henry street,
Indianapolis, Ind. She Is afraid of her
being implicated, and by detectives see
ing her they will find out she knows OF
causes of death and medicines used. II she is
used as witness. will testify what she has
told me, an informant, who will watch her
movements till you see her. She has been
thinking OF leaving the city, so see her
at once The sooner the better.
"She knows my name by initials, and can
tell you where live"
Marshal Starr left Greencastle at
1895 p. III. Sunday, and, coming to this
city, consulted with Supt. Colbert.
He detailed detective on the case
and they visited the residence given in
the letter Miss Hollingsworth was
to a consultation with the officers.
She is % years of age, and is a good
looking brunette.
She admitted knowing Jackson, Wood
and Miss Pearl Bryan, but not Wall
ing.
She gave enough information to lead
the officers to arrest her, and she was
told to accompany them. They gave
her permission to go upstairs to change
her dress When she came down she
slipped by the officers, and tearing
letter to bits, threw the pieces into an
open stove. 1t is thought she thus de-
stroyed valuable letter from Jack
son, that contained the cause OF the
death of Miss Bryan.
Miss EIollingsworth said she would
not tell anything unless the boys were
to be hanged, and then she would tell
all to save them. She says positively
that Miss Bryan was not murdered,
and that it was case OF suicide.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb 10. Lulu Hol-
lingsworth confessed to the police
Monday afternoon that she saw viii
Wood and Pearl Bryan in this city on
the Thursday afternoon before the
murder She says that Miss Bryan
told her that Walling was also here.
Walling and Miss Bryan. according to
her story, spent Thursday night here,
but she refuses to tell where. Miss
Hollingsworth was locked up. as it is
believed that she knows Ear more than
she is willing to tell.

IT'S A GO!
Marietta Accepts Hughes Bros
Proposition.
And the Big Boiler Works Will Lo-
cate Here.
The Citizens Have But to Show Their
Spirit and This Industry, Which
VIII Employ Over a Hundred
Men, Is Ours

The proposed deal between this city
and the Messrs. Hughes Brothers and
Associates, of Butler, Pa, involving
the location of boiler and structural
iroh works to cover four acres of
ground, has been practically brought
to a close and the plant is ours when
few minor details are attended to. AS
we have said previously, the Messrs.
hughes and their associates are men
whose records have been Investigated
and who may be depended upon to fulfill
their every promise to the very letter.
They have made us proposition, we
have accepted it, and within weeks
time the plans for the new buildings
will be here and the bidders on the
work of construction can go ahead
The few minor details to be fixed up
are these: We are to buy a site, which
will cost approximately $4,000, and
subscribe Sc, 900 in cash to be given to
the new firm when it has fulfilled it's
obligations which appear in the prop
osition following. There is no fake,
10 scheme behind the deal to cause it
to fail-it is simply plain business
proposition, with the greatest profit to
accrue to the city.
The Committee will be out after that
80, 900 today. They ought to get it be-
fore night. Quick, hard licks are what
count, and an enterprise so plainly in
the interest of every business man
should command immediate and hearty
support
1t was large and representative
body of members of the Board of Trade
and citizens that assembled at the
Board of Trade Rooms at one o'clock
Monday afternoon to take action in the
matter of the proposed boiler works.
The meeting was called to order by
President A. D Follett and Secretary

Blake of Texas declared the contes+eH
seats were tainted with fraud of which
the committee had evidence, and Mo-
Knight of Michigan refutcd the accIso-
tons.
Amid much confusion, the roll was call
cd upon the substitute. The excitement
grew us the vote proceeded. Seven dele
gates from Alabama put themselves on
record as opposed to unseating the Dick
insOn delegates. and eleven Californians,
led by Senator White, did the same thing.
The silver men sent up Il wild cheer
when A.. s. Trude announced the vote Of
Illinois as 10 against the substitute. Sen
ator Hill rose when New York was called
and announced "S~eventy-two votes aye"
The announcement inspired a great DEM
onstration in the galleries. The gold men
rose from their seats with flying hats and
handkerchiefs, and cheered continuously
for over five minutes. The gold delegates
got up on their chairs, New York and
Massachusetts leading. But, only one-
third OF the convention rose. The other
two-thirds sat silent and stern. The
demonstration which succeeded the an
nounceinent of the vote was in marked
contrast. In one case the gallery led: in
the other the delegates. The galleries
shouted for gold, but the delegates voted
for silver. When the chairman declared
the amendment lost by a vote of 53S TO
1868 the silver delegates leaped to their
chairs in demonstration, turning defiantly
toward the audience as they cheered.
The silver men had won battle number
two and the non-cOntentious business Of
eiecting permanent officers followed. Sem
atOr Stephen NJ. White. of California,
was escorted to the chair. The crowd
him from his appearance at the
morning session, where he had Temperate
ly relieved Chairman Daniel. and they
listened intently to his very short speech.
The convention adjourned for the night
after scenes of widest confusion.

the declaration made that a revival Of
the Mckinley law would be disastrous
to the country. An income tax law is
declared for. to be effected by constitu-
tional amendment. sympathy for the
Cubans is expressed. 1t is demanded that
pauper immigrants Ike excluded. Liberal
pension appropriations are favored. SEN
ator Hills bill prohibiting punishment
in contempt eases is approved. The Pa.
cifc railroad refunding bill is denounced.
The third term idea is opposed, and the
declared extravaganza Of the last Repub-
lican Congress is denounced.
The platform concluded. The report
for the minority was read by J. II. Wade.
of Ohio, and the gold people rose and
cheercd, but after their outbreaks On
yesterday these efforts were fain.. The
Endorsement f the Democratic alm:nis-
trat;or which Senator Hill had made Il
losing fight for in the committee OF rps0-
~lut;ors. brought down Il vel! from the gal
lcripS. New York delegates stood and
waved their hats. The issue was drawn.
Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, OPEN
cd the great debate in behalf of free coin
age. On one lapel of his coat he wore
a Cuban flag, on the other a pitchfork.
The 10000 people broke forth. Cheers
mingled with Kisses rent the air. Il come

Senator Jones followed Tillman. Then
came Senator Hill, who began by saying,
Il am a Democrat. and South Carolina
with all her power cannot drive me out
of the party. We are here to unite. not
TO divide, Democracy, but We cannot
safely ignore the monetary systems Of

yer speakers faced Il noisy opposition that
gave them scant mercy when they failed
to make themselves heard and under
stood.
The issue was precipitated when the
committee reported in favor of seating
four contrasting delegates in Michigan.
This change gave the silver men a major
ity. and under the unit rule they could
cast the vote of the entire delegation for
the white metal. A minority report was
presented and followed by speeches from
Gov. McLaurin of Mississippi, Salisbury
of Delaware. Stevenson of Michigan, and
others. Stevenson scored the committee
and the contestants in ~vitriolic arguments.

ped loudly for order and introduced Rev.
e. NJ. Stires. who raised his hands to
heaven in an invocation for wisdom,
peace and goodwill among the assem-
BLEED Democra y Of the nation. The vast
assemblage. numbering over twelve thou
sand people, rose and remained standing
during the devotions.
At the conclusion of the prayer the
chairman announced that the National
Committee had reported Hon. David b.
Hill of New York for temporary presiding
officer Of the convention. Then he was
interrupted and the silver men had their
chance. Chairman Harrity recognized
National! Committeeman Clayton Of Ala
bama. AS he rose the silver men sent
a mighty roar Of applause. Before he
had opened his mouth the crowd knew
what was coming, and for two minutes
kept up a hubbub that drowned out his
voice.
1t was we'll known Mr.. Clayton intend
ed to oppose the national committee by n
minority report favoring Senator Daniel
for temporary chairman. Senator Dam
ieTs lame was wildly cheered, silver del
egates rising from their seats and toss
ing their hats in the air. A hasty re-
view of the floor covered BY the excited
delegates speedily showed that IN point Of
numbers the minority report was the fa-
vorite; it was really the first slogan of the
silver forces.

THIRD DAY.

Shortly before II O'Clock Thursday
morning the convention came to order.
Rebellion hung like a pail above the great
body. and 10000 people ranged the Stop
ing hills tina: overlooked the arena to
watch the battle Of the wrestling giants.
The silver leaders entered with light
and buoyant step. The faces Of
the gold leaders were grim, grave
and defiant. The managers of the
several candidates were m%arshaling their
forces. Chairman White was so hoarse
he could scarcely speak, and he handed
the gavel over to Congressman Richard
son Of Tennessee, who announced that
the committee on resolutions was ready
to report, and called to the platform Sen
ator Jones of Arkansas to make the COM
mittee report.
The platform as reported by the COM
mittee declares for the free and unlimit-
ed coinage Of silver at the ratio of 1G 70 1.
The issue of bonds in time of peace is
denounced. National banks to be de-

SECOND DAY.

The crowds began pouring into the
Coliseum shortly after 8 o'clock Wednes-
day morning. but the ~heavy-eyed dele
gates, many Of whom had had an all
night vigil, were late in arriving. At
1O:44 o'clock Temporary Chairman Dan
iel called the convention to order and d.
rected that the aisles be cleared. Rev. DR..
Green, Of Ceda: Rapids. Iowa, offered
prayer, at the conclusion of which Chair
man Daniel called for the report of the
committee on credentials. The commit
tee was not ready with it's recommends
ions and by unanimous consent no bust
ness was transacted until the report was
received.
The convention tired Of inactivity and
shouted for speeches. EX-Gov. Hogg Of
Texas was called and spoke for half an
hour. He urged harmony and raked the
Republicans fore and aft.
Senator White. of California, who had
been selected for permanent chairman by
the silver men, then relieved Mr.. Daniel
of the gayei and asked the further pleas
ure of the convention. The galleries shouted
for Blackburn, Hill, Bryan and Altgeld.

Bryan were no. present. The crowd
shouted vociferously for Gov. Altgeld.
The Governor spoke for nearly half an
hour, and from start to finish his address
was a bitter denunciatiOn of the capital
lists, far and near. J. L. Williams, of
Massachusetts, followed with a free silver
speech. He, too, attacked the railroads.
the corporations and Wal street.
Five minutes later the committee on
credentials filed into the hall. Delegate
Atwood. of Kansas, chairman of the COM
mittee. read thu report. 1t confirmed the
action of the national committee in every
detail except Nebraska and Michigan. In
the former case the action of the national
committee was reversed, thus seating the
| BRYAN delegates. In regard to Michigan,
the committee decided to leave the matter
open for future action. Chairman White
put the motion to adopt and declared il
carried by Il viva voce vote. The seating
of the Bryan delegates was received with
tremendous cheers by the convention, end
the NebraskaEs, with VIM. ]. Bryan on
their shoulders, marched into the hal
mid a remarkable reception. The gold
