ATTEMPTED MURDER.
Three Italians Attempt TO Shoot the
Reese brothers at Audenried.

Three Italians Attempt TO Shoot the
Reese Brothers at Audenried.
From the Hazleton Standard.
Great excitement prevailed at Auden-
ried last evening when it became known
that an attempt had been made by three
Italians to murder the Reese brothers,
who conduct a livery stable at that
place. The three Italians in question
appeared at the stable last evening and
hired IL horse, but refused to pay the
amount asked for by the llveryman.
They became very boisterous at once.
and when Evan Reese demanded the
money they left the stable wild with
rage.
Mr.. Reese closed the door Immediately
after they departed, but had hardly done
so before yolcy of stones was hurled
against the door, followed Il moment
later by three shots. Fortunately the
Italians were not very good marksmen,
and the bullets went wide of their mark.
Descriptions of the men were sent
along the trolley line, with Instructions
to place them under arrest.
Captain Simpson arrested four Italians
at Hazleton Junction and took them be-
fore Squire Robinson, but they were not
the men wanted and were Immediately
discharged. A warrant was afterwards
sworn own before Squire Robinson, and
the murderouS Williams will no doubt be
apprehended TODAY.

ABILENE, Kas., Aug. 5.-The Pop
ulist state convention was called to
order here today at ILLS by John w.
Breidenthal, chairman of the state
central committee. Two thousand del
egates and spectators were present.
Much hard work in the interest of the
Endorsement of the Democratic electors
by the committee of five, which ar
rived from Hutchinson at 6 O'Clock this
morning, had been done, several pre-
liminary caucuses, having been held.
and the interest over the anticipated
action Of the committee was intense.
w. A. Scott, lawyer of Abilene, put
the delegates in a happy mood in a
welcoming address, in which he said
the Populist party had been born of
necessity, and that it would live until
that necessity should have passed
away. This was a year of the people.
he continued. 1t was "a year for Pop
ulist victories, and more than all, for
the victory of that great commoner.
that young giant Of the West, William
j. Bryan. Mention of Bryan's name
caused enthusiastic cheering. Judge
A. w. Dennison, of Eldorado, was
elected temporary chairman by accla-
nation. Chairman Dennison, in the
course Of his address, $lauded the Pop
ulists for work done in the past legis-
latures, and said that their bills that
had failed of passage qwould be put
through when the chance came. He
declared for fusion of the silver forces.
Committees were appointed and a re-
cess to o'clock taken. q 1t was report

When the convention reassembled
Chairman Dennison announced that
the committee on credentials would not
be ready to report, until o'clock
motion to take a recess until
that hour was cried down,
however. The convention seemed to be
in mood to go ahead with the bust
ness before it, and at once made the
temporary organization permanent.
Interest centered in the report Of the
committee on order Of business, which
recommended that a committee of
fourteen, two from each congressional
district, be appointed to confer with
the committee of five sent to Abilene
by the Democratic convention at
Hutchinson. The report was adopted
after motion to reduce the number
of the conference committee from four
teen to five had been voted down.
This committee was appointed and the
convention then took recess until
evening. The committees from the

At the evening session of the conven-
ton the committee on resolutions re-
ported that a platform could not be

pended and nominations for governor
were declared in order.

BADGES OF SILK.
Il. T.. Committee to Be GaiIy Decked
Ont.


The badges to be worn by the local Pythian
committees during encampment week were
shown at K. P. headquarters yesterday to an
admiring crowd of lodge men. Col. Wheaton
lifted the dainty creations out of a neat box,
where they had been packed in tissue paper,
with as much care as he would handle new
baby. There were good reasons for handling
the gorgeous ribbons, with their inch and a
quarter of gold fringe, gingerly. They cost
nobody knows how much apiece, for each and
every one of them Is hand-painted and as
lovely as rich silk in the daintiest of shades,
touch with the painters brush or artistic
lettering, can be made. Nothing half so
beautiful ever gotten up in the city in
the line of badges, and no two are exactly
ing committees: Executive general Pythian
camp and camp grounds, prizes and prize
drills, carriages and horses and parade
The badges are of the finest silk ribbon, in
all the colors of the rainbow, with the in
scription: Reunion and Encampment,
knights of Pythias,' at the top, and the
the center a hand-painted figure indicating
the significance of the committee is shown.
The executive committees badge is of light
blue and shows shield upon which a knight
in armor is kneeling and paying tribute to
Minneapolis. The general Pythian badge is
of pearl gray with coat of arms of the or
der, and shield resting upon a crossed bat
tie axe and sword with IF. c. B.. worked
in blue, yellow and red of the order This is
interviewer with myrtle sprigs symbolical of
the fraternal principle of the order.
The committee on camp and camp grounds
will wear badges of rich lavender color.
showing a tent with an open door, and
kneeling knight kindling a fire.
The badges for prizes and prize drills are Of
pea green, and show sitting figure of ye
olden time holding wreath with which to
crown the victors
For the committee on horses and carriages
pink has been selected, showing a chariot
drawn by four noble steeds and driven by a
knight in armor.
The parade badge is of a beautiful orange

ELECTION FRAUDS.
Charges Made by the Populists of
Alabama.


BIRMINGHAM. Ala. Aug. 5.-The
following circular has been issued by
Frank Baltzell, secretary of the Popu-
list campaign committee:
The election last Monday was char
acterized by fraud more widespread
than any previous election. In Mont
gomery, at court house poll, an Hitter
ate suspected his ticket was wrongly
marked, showed 1t to a friend to de-
eide, and the fact was developed that
a Goodwin ticket had been marked for
Johnston The illiterate was arrested
and jailed for showing the ticket and
the marker, who was guilty of crime,
was not interrupted. In the black belt
counties, the reports state, Dallas or
some other black belt county, will send
up the usual majority which means
that whatever majority may be needed
from these counties will be sent up
next Saturday, when the vote shall be
canvassed. The Populists are very
much exasperated on account of
wrongs practiced upon them, and will
not support the Bryan Democratic cleo
tors. They will put out an electoral
ticket for Bryan and Watson; the
Democrats can take down their ticket,
vote that ticket, or see 1000 votes
practically lost. If this shall not be
done, the Populists will refuse to vote
and let the silver Democrats work out
their destiny and repent of their mean
ness. Self-respect manhood and civil
liberty are dearer to some people than
free silver or any other political issue
Hon. A. T. Goodwin made brilliant
and effective campaign, visiting nearly
every county and speaking to the
largest audiences ever accorded a
speaker in this state He has been
elected by from 10000 to $4,000 major
ity in the white counties, and received
about 10000 votes in the black belt, but
these 10000 votes are counted for John
ston, giving him majority of about
$4,000.

HUTCHINSON Kan, Aug. 5.-The anomaly
is presented here today of state convention
of a great party suspending operations for
nearly twenty-four hours while every eye is
turned toward another big state convention
Populist parties in the coming campaign
hangs in the balance. The probable result
of the joint conference committee Of the Pop
ulists and Democratic conventions at Abb
lene today Is the one absorbing topic of dis
cussion among the Democrats here. When
the Democratic conference committee boarded
the train for Abilene last night several hun
dred delegates were at theotrain to see them
OFF and on every ones lips were the words
Don't sacrifice single Democratic elector
Make 1t ten straight or nothing" The pre-
vailing sentiment here sisiinow crystallized
into stubborn determination to bring the
at the beginning Of the fusion negotiati ms
There are some, however, who do not cher
ish sanguine hopes that the conference com-
mittee will not back down if the Populists
make strong fight for division of The
electoral ticket. Many of the delegates have
gone home during the recess.
The Democratic contention held a.
five minute session this evening and
adjourned until tomorrow. The general
opinion among the delegates seems to
be that the convention will refuse to
make any further concessions to the
Populists, and that inrthe event Of
refusal by the Abilene convention to
indorse the Democratic Bryan and
Sewall electors, the Democratic con-
vention will put a complete state ticket
In the field.

RICH SILVER MINER
Named for Governor by West yir-

PARKERSBURG, w. Va, Aug. s.
The Populist state convention convened
here today. Virgil A. Gates, of Char
lesion, was temporary chairman, and
I. H. Offner, Of Barnum, temporary
secretary of the convention. The plat
form is short but ratifies the ST. Louis
platform and the candidates, and urges
the abolition of the fee system and a
reduction of the state salaries. Tonight
after wrangling over the question of
indorsing a Democrat, or nominating
middle-of-the-road man, the conven-
ton nominated Isaac Cox Ralphsnyder,
of Fairmont, for governor. Two nomi-
nees were placed before the convention,
Judge j. A. Steally, middle of the
road Populist, and Ralphsnyder, the
free silver Democrat. Ralphsnyder has
been canvassing the state for months
for the Democratic nomination for gov
ernor and he hopes this nomination
will persuade his own party to select
him. Ralphsnyder is rich and owns
two or three silver mines. 1t is thought
the rest of the ticket will be straight
