tory in Boies' home county yesterday.
They outnumbered the silver Boies men
three to two, The convention was
characterized by the widest scenes. In
the outset the Cleveland men captured
the convention. Just as the %organiza-
ton was perfected Chairman Scott of
the central committee entered the hall.
ignored the proceedings and called an
other convention. Thus the two con>
ventions proceeded in the same hall
simultaneously, each bowling the other
down. The disturbance continued for
more than an hour. The Cleveland
men then summoned Sheriff Law, and
Marshal Klingman was brought in on
the scene by the white metal men. No
arrests were made. Each convention
adopted resolutions on the MONEY ques-
ton. the difference being as great a.
possible.

ILLINOIS

Springfield, ILL.,. April 27.-Never be-
fore in the memory of the Oldest poll
ticians has there been so much excite
ment and interest in a state convention
in Illinois as there is over the one to be
held here next Wednesday. Already
the town is overrun with delegates, Of
flee seekers and their hackers.
A movement is on foot among the
friends of William Mckinley. Jr.. to
have the convention adopt resolutions
i%nstructing the delegates at large to
vote for Mckinley as soon as the con-
vention is called to order. Senator Gull
lom's friends are of course bitterly op>
posed to this as also are those favor
ing Allison and Reed. What the out
come will be no man car predict.
AS to the state ticket, no one will
venture to assure the nomination Of
any of the candidates save as to John
R. Tanner, who has more than enough
delegates instructed for him to nomi-
nate him for governor.

PROTECTION THE ISSUE.
Washington Republicans Consider Ii
Above Free Silver and Free Trade.

Chicago. April 81" A. Perkins of
Tacoma. Washington, member of the
executive committee of the National
Republican league, is registered at the
Palmer house. Mr.. Perkins says the
political situation in Washington ia
rather mixed just at present, although
he is confident that the state will give
a good round majority for the republic
can ticket, both state and national this
fall.
There is a strong silver sentiment in
the state, and the democrats and popu-
lists hope by combining on this issue
to elect a state and electoral ticket.
There is, however, a strong sentiment
in favor of protection. and the republi-
ans are confident that by making the
fight on this line they will carry the
day. The producers on the Pacific
slope are beginning to make up their
minds. Mr.. Perkins says, that protec-
ton is worth more to them than free
silver. and that gold with protection
is much to be preferred to free trade
with silver.
Mr.. Perkins says Mckinley is the
leading candidate, but that Reed and
Allison and lately Harrison have de,
veloped much strength. Mr.. Perkins is
a strong Mckinley mar himself, but he
said there is little probability of the
state convention i%nstructing for Nc
Kinley, and that as matters now stand
the Mckinley people would be well sat

A SEXTUPLE TRAGEDY.
Alfred Egbert Uses a Shotgun
With Fatal Effect.
MOTHER AND CHILDREN,
Sheriff and Deputy Murdered by
the Maniac. who Then Sac.
riAres Ills own
Life.

Rockville. Ind, April 27.-Seized
with a murder mania, early this MORN
ing. Alfred Egbert shot and killed five
persons here %today-a mother, daugh-
ter and son the sheriff of the county
and one of his deputies. The cause of
matter Of conjecture. Egbert, who was
81 years old, and unmarried, lived with
his parents just across the alley from
the Haschkes, his first victims. Short
ly after 7 o'clock the neighbors were
alarmed by hearing a shot at the Has
chke home. Some of them even saw
the killing Of the oma and her son.
The little girl, Aggie, aged 10, was shot
first in the house: the boy. Herman, s
years old, next, on the front porch, and
the woman last in the alley, where she
was attending her COW. Egbert used a
double-barreled shotgun and reloaded
between the shooting of the children
and their mother. The children were
instantly killed. while Mrs. Haschkc
lived unconscious about three hours.
Her head was beaten into a jelly, the
coroner's inquest showed.
Egbert very coolly walked up town,
and at the northwest corner of the pub
lie square. nea the National bank
building, was overhauled by Sherifr
Null and Deputy Sweem. The fugitive
had both barrels Of his gun loaded and
warned the sheriff to keep away. AS
the latter started up the stairway prob
ably in order to get a weapon, Egbert
fired on him, and turning at once shot
Sweem. The sheriff tumbled backward
down the stairs unconscious and lived
but a few minutes.
Sweem was killed instantly.
Before steps could be taken to appre-
bend Egbert he loaded his gun again
and. throwing it over his arm, leisurely
passed through town to the northwest
and onto the fair grounds. Soon a hun
dred men we'll armed were in pursuit.
Egbert went into a box stall and al
most Immediately a shot vas heard.
Investigation showed him dead, with
his clothing on fire. He had fired a
load into his breast. Tie was badly
burned before his clothing could be re-
moved.
Sheriff Null was a member of Com
mander Walkers staff of the G. A. r..
and was colonel of the 10th Indiana
during the war, besides being in the
14th and 115th regiments. He was
brave to a fault.
Sweem leaves a widow and six young
children. He was a member of the
Rockville Light Artillery
Mrs. Haschke's husband is a baker.
who was away at work in an Illinois
town. But one child is left Of the fam
lily.
Egbert was about 81 years old, and
unmarried. There is a story that he
had insulted Mrs. Haschke, who threat
ened 10 inform her husband, and this
is a possible explanation OF the origin
of his murderous mania. Egbert was
a great reader, and paid much attention
to Shakespeare. His companions say
he frequently remarked that If he got
into trouble he would follow Brutus'
example, and in a sense he did that this
morning. taking his own miserable life
at the end of a tragic two hours ex-
