Frank TOal, a Night WatChman, Killed
by a Drunken Boatman.
The Assassin Also Probably Mortally
Wounded.
Joe Gregory Convicted of riurder in
the Second Degree for the Killing
of Albert Littlefield Near Lone
Ridge, Trinity County, in Sep
tember of Last Year.

VALLEJO, Sept. 2.-An early morn
ing affray here has already caused the
death of one man, and another victim
will very probably die.
Night Watchman Frank Toal is the
dead man and Dan Wynne, a boat own
er and general ferryman, is the indi-
vidual whose fate is yet in question.
j. ]. Hurley, a third man, had his fore
head cut up during the same disturb
ance.
Wynne, who is a native of Vallejo,
makes a business of conveying passen-
gers to and from Mare Island and the
various vessels lying in the harbor. He
is quiet man when sober, but at times
becomes intoxicated, and then acts as
1t completely crazy. One of his hts OF
drunkenness appears to have caused
the present tragedy.
At about 80 o'clock this morning,
Wynne, who had been drinking heavily
during the night, staggered into
O'Brien's saloon, located on Georgia
street. There he encountered J. J. Hur-
ley, a navy yard clerk, who, as may
be mentioned, was lately declared in
solvent by the Superior Court.
Something about Hurley appeared to

blow, laying his forehead completely
open.
Seemingly startled at what he had
done, and possibly alarmed at the sight
OF Hurley's blood, Wynne Immediately
left the saloon, but had only gone few
PAGES when he encountered Night
Watchman Toal.

Immediately drew their pistols and
fired upon each other.
Which pulled his trigger first is not
known, but the second shot followed the
first very quickly, and both proved eff
fective. The two men fell in their
tracks almost at the same instant
Persons who heard the shooting ran
to the spot, and Toal and Wynne were
picked up and carried to the hospital,
where DR.. Carpenter examined them.
He found that both had been wounded
in much the same manner, each of them
having been struck in the left side. In
ToaTs case, however, the ball had
ranged upward and in Wynnes down

The latest report is that Wynne's
bullet was not intended for Toal, but
for some one else, but no particulars
are given in suppodt or explanation OF
this suggestion.
TOal has been a night watchman here
for three years past, and was generally
considered as a good and faithful Of

Cause.

DUBLIN. Sept. 2-The Irish Ma
tional Convention resumed its session at
II O'Clock this morning.
There were rumors of war on every
side, and little prospect of the harmony
which the convention was organized TO
bring about.
Rev. Father Flynn moved the ap-
pointment of a Committee on Arbitra-
ton, composed of home and foreign
delegates, with instructions to draft
rules and a platform to unite all the
factions of the Irish party. The motion
was greeted with enthusiasm.
p T. O'Connor then took the floor
and his eloquence aroused the first
breeze Of the day. He read Father
Flynn's original resolution, suggesting
that a committee be selected from the
three sections of the Irish Parliamen-
tary party to prepare basis OF union,
which has since been amended, and
which was believed to have been writ
ten by Timothy NJ. Healy, M. p.
O'Connor fiercely attacked the dis
ruptionists who are fighting the con-
vention with every dirty expedient."
O'Connor's attack on the HealyiteS
was received with deafening cheers
from the Dillonites.
Canon Murnane of London objected
to O'Connor's language, which, he said,
was defeating the object the conven-
ton had in view, to bring about unity
among Irishmen Of all sections.
A scene of great disorder followed
until Murnane was ruled out of order.
O'Connor then resumed his remarks,
and declared that the only way to kill
dissension was to crush it by ''the
united determination Of an angry peo-
pie" and urged the convention TO give
the Irish leaders the means of uniting
the Parnellites with the irish party. He
appealed to the delegates to uphold
constitutional methods.
The discussion of Father Flynn's res
olution, the first test Of strength be-
tween the Dillonites and Healyites, was
long and bitter. The resolution was
finally Withdrawn in the interest of
harmony.
Later the convention adopted resolu-
tiOns recording the conviction that it
was Of Importance that the Nationalist
representatives in Parliament should be
reunited in one home rule party, in
which every supporter of that policy
would be cordially received and treated
according to his capacity to render
service to the common cause.

The trouble is that the few cannot
have the display without depriving
the many of food and shelter.
Millions of bushels of American
wheat have left these shores, pur-
sued by the regretful walls of starv-
ing people, to purchase the
diamonds and dresses worn by
the women at Miss Van Aliens
debut. The single gold standard
has enabled the apers of European
nobility, such as this man Van
Allen, to rob the people, and what
reck they how many starve or suf-
fer exposure. 1t rests with the
people to determine whether the
system shall be stricken down or
not.-Silver Knight.

Double Skirts Coming.

To add to the general confusion
of the modern and antique in pre-
sent fashions, designers are at this
moment experimenting on doubled
skirted effects which the Empress
Eugene introduced in her day OF
glory. The fashion began by
trimming placed on the skirt to
simulate an overdress; then came
the actual overdress, and this is
what we are now threatened with.
We already see the overskirt out
lined by rows of narrow gimp or
ribbon, gathered frills of lace or OF
the dress material, but whether the
genuine double skirt be adopted is
a matter now discussed along with
the question of the again threatened
hoopskirt and its first cousin, the
wire hustle or French tournure.

a SPANISH FETE.
One No Longer Hears the Guitar and the
Castanets.


One No Longer Hears the Guitar and the
Castanets.
Another time we went down to a fete in
the Plaza Nueva, the square in front OF
the governor generals palace at the
foot of the hill. It was held after dark,
which was an inducement for us to go,
The walters, from whom we got all the
gossip we ever heard, said that it had
something to do with Columbus; 1t
might be the little affair of the egg, the
discovery of America, or his own death,
or anything else, for all they knew OF
cared. The celebration itself did not
help to explain matters. Lanterns hung
from every tree in the plaza There
was a crowd of water-carriers and don
keys, and women. and priests, and chill
dren, and soldiers, and men selling big
round cakes that looked like understood
New England pies with nothing inside.
Rockets were let off at rare intervals,
and band, all drums and cymbals,
played with just such brazen, barbar-
Gus beating and clashing as the Moora
must have made as they marched past
to one of their periodical musters in
the Vivarambla. That was all, so that
the connection with Columbus was not
very obvious.
But the prettiest part of the pageant
was on our way back, when, at the top
of the Gala de los Gomeres, we saw a
group of girls in the gateway. white
barricade against the darkness of the
wood. They broke away, dancing as we
came, and we followed them up the
steepest of the three parting roads in
pursuit of a distant sound of music,
The scene held out promise of the ira
ditional Spanish night attuned to the
click of castanets and the drumming
of guitars. But within the Alhambra's
Enclosure we found nothing more ro-
mantle than a man with an accordion,
and few couples waltzing under the
trees. For the national dance and song
the stranger must go to the show held
by guides and gypsies somewhere on the
Albaycin; it Is supposed to be improper,
though it is at the most only stupid, and
for this you must pay in pesetas.
But never once in Granada's open
streets and courts, or in those of any
other Andalusian town, did we hear
the castanets and guitars that play SO
seductively through the Andalusia of ro-
nance and Murray. That they should
still be expected really shows how hard
tradition dies. sam I, then, come into
Spain to hear humstrums and hurdy-
gurdies?" Beckford asked Indignantly
hundred years ago. But every new
traveller goes to the country, sure that
for him, at least, there will be the sweet
strumming and mad fandango al the
long southern night under the stars

A Growing Necessity.

Helen Varick Boswell, a leader
of the movement for municipal re-
form in New York, believes that
the short skirt is inevitable, and
says:
Women are constantly becoming
more active and athletic, and it is
in the nature of things that their
dress should conform to the condi-
ton. 1t is necessary. 1t is evolu-
ton and is inevitable. I do not
believe in unconventionality in
dress, but I think that the short
skirt will soon become perfectly con-
ventional, and women will not lose
one iota of womanliness by it's adop-
ton. The health of women is ex-
tremely important, and sensible
men will approve and not condemn
a thing which is conducive to it
and to the general welfare of women.

The Americas Times Recorder tells OF
a very serious shooting ARRAY in Sumter
county. the parties thereto being Mr.. Ed
Sims. the manager on the Clay planta-
ton, and Ross Bivins, negro tenant ana
school teacher.
The fight resulted in the slight wound
ing of Mr.. Sims. Bivins received wounds
from which he has since died.
From the bes5 information obtainable
If appears that Mr.. Sims had heard that
Bivins was going armed for him, they
having had some previous misunder-
standing. Late Friday afternoon as Mr..
Sims was riding along the road he met
Bivins, who was also on horseback.
The time was opportune, and Mr.. Sims
asked the negro about the threats alleg-
ed to have been made. 1t is not known
what reply Bivlns made, if any, but it is
said that he at once drew his pistol and
commenced firing.
Quick as flash Mr.. Sims seized Bly,
ms pistol, but not before he had receiv-
ed two shots in the arm and near the
shoulder In the meantime the negro
was also shot twice, one bullet penetrat-
ing the lower abdomen while another
bored it's way through his chest. Find
ing himself W. unded, Bivins broke away
and rode rapidly from the scene.
Mr.. Sims wounds are in the
fleshy part of his arm and are not
serious. His horse was also struck by
bullet from Bivins' pistol.
