THE SIXTH DISTRICT wRANGLE.
Convention to Be Held 1t
Greenfield Wednesday.

The Popocrats of the Sixth district are
having a monkey and-parrot time over the
congressional situation. 1t will be remem-
bered that the Populists nominated C. A.
Robinson and the Democrats got the upper
hand in the New Castle convention and
nominated Puntenney. The Populsts raised
such a howl about this that the county
chairmen of the district met at the Grand
Hotel, in this city, and decided to withdraw
Puntenney. To their amazement they dis
covered that there were others Punten-
ney declined TO be withdrawn, and as the
chairman and secretary of the convention
were his friends they made out the certif-
Gates of his nomination, and they were
filed in the various counties, and will go on
the ballot under the sign OF the rooster.
Now K. M. Hord, the district chairman, has
got ratified" and called another congress
next Wednesday. though what it can do is
beyond understanding. 1t will probably
nominate Robinson, and then an effort will
be made to get his name the ticket in
the Democratic column In the meantime
the real Democrats of the district are be-
coming terribly disguised. Not single
meeting in the district has been advertised
as a Democratic meeting. but all have been
billed at silver meetings" to the vast dis
ocrats because they are Democrats.

city yesterday. and was asked if he was

they kept shifting the blame thing around
so rapidly that they lost NE in the shuttle.
First we nominated a Democrat for Con-
gress, then they pulled him off. then he

the act of 1873 The price increased during
these years without any specially small
supply to cause the price to go up In my
lshed in the Price Current / predicted just
t ines. low prices which have come this
year; and there are two very potent
sons which l will give.
HOG PRICES EXPLAINED.
In my business I formerly sold large
shipments of hogs and other live stock to
Louisville for distribution throughout the
South. The only idea with the Southern
planter for years and years seemed to he
to raise cotton. That was when cotton
brought good price and the world would
BUY all that could be raised at good price.
Even when cotton became so low as TO be
almost a drug the market the idea
seemed to prevail. Much of the land in the
South is rented on shares the owner fur
nishing the renter his meat and necessities
OF life and taking his part of the crop first.
Ihen IL there was any cotton left the renter
got 1t. During the years 1891 and 1892 ii
was common thing that the renter could
not raise enough cotton to pay out. and
ne quit the year in debt. 1t was then that
the eyes OF the Southerner We're opened TO
the fact that 1T were best TO raise less cot
ton ana TO be self-sustaining in corn and
meat. Almost universally it became the
rule that each renter would plant a small
field of corn, and would feed few hogs,
so that the supply of hogs and corn which
generally came from the North was UNI
necessary, and to-day Louisville is a sell
ing market. The South has corn and hogs
to sell. The Southern market is practicaiIv
ruined. and it is not wonderful that it
should affect prices.
The other great factor in the reduction
of prices is the destruction of the McKin-
ley tariff. Under the Mckinley law sheep
were worth 5 cents in 1892, while in 1894
under the Wilson law, only 2lk cents. The
Wilson law has reduced the price of eggs,
butter and poultry nearly 80 per cent. Open
ing our markets 10 the world has had much
to do with the reduction of prices. If Mr.
Bryan were inclined to be more honest he
would not lay the blame for everything TO
the crime of 49, but would find something
else so as not to give the crime the APP
pearance of being overworked.''

Popocrats' Sunday Meeting.

The usual Sunday prayer meeting of
Popocratic managers and candidates at the

Interrupted Execution.
By WRIGHT a. PATTERSON.
CHAPTER l.

I'm HREE years ago Wild Rock
CHS vas the county seat of an
~ interior county Of Arizona
~as-s lst why snch a place bad
been sci, cted as the seat of gov.
ernment for any county was hard
to understand. Is only recon-.
mendatiou for public approval
was it's central location, the place
( being almost exactly in the center
of the county. To the people of
the struggling little frontier town
Wild Rock was a world within
itself, It's once short dusty busi
ness streets, with the county
courthouse and iail-the m ost
commodious building In the place
at one end of it, was the center
of the universe to them.
But twice week Bill Wsgner's
stage coach, drawn by four big
black mules, brought to them news
OF the outside world from a little
telegraph and way station on the
Sou'hern Pacific road, some 40
miles to the south.
One of the latest additions to
Wild R>ck's population had been
Frank Wsguer, 4 young brother
of the big brawny frOntiersman
who supplied the town with its
,eml.weekly mail and such 9th eI
commodities as 1t was necessary
to bring from the railway station
This younger Wagner bad settled
IN Wild Rock, first because bis
brother was there, aud, second
because the place was 'out vest
He had come west, like Thousands
of Others, in search of health, and
in less than a years time had toun(
it, only to be brought face to iac'
with death in a much worse form
on the gaIlOws.
Before he had been in the plac'
ten months, Wild Rock awakened
one morning and found one OF he
citizpns dead, murdered at h'
: home during the night Had BIZ
/ Wagner been at home Instead o
at the railroad station he would
no doubt, have been arrested a
the murderer, because he was th'
only enemy the dead man wa
r known to have. But, as 1T wa
: impossible to fasten the crime
a onto the stage driver, the citizen
of the place hastened to lay l
upon the shoulders OF the you ge

Wagner, and had Flank arrested
before night.
1t lacked but SIX weeks OF cleo
ton day, ard the county attorney
eager to he the choice of the peO
pie for another term, was untirlne
IN bis efforts to weave a cham of
circumsiaEtlal evidence around
the young man that would certain
" con\ let him. Could his purpose
be accomplished, it would win for
the lawyer the plaudits of the peO.
pie, and secure BIN their support t
at the polls, because the young
mans polished eastern manners
and good clothes had never been
popular with Wild Rocks male
population.
Good counsel for the defense
was secured iD the east, but all to
no purpose, for, do what they
could, 1t was impossible to secure
an unprtjudlced jury, and their
only hope for their client lag IN
the Judge. When the case came to
trial the few persons who were
willing, and knew enough about
the case to testify, were placed Oh
the stand in the young mans favor,
bnt the eastern attorneys knew,
before half the witnesses for the
state were examined, that their
case was lost. Even the hope that
they might secure some clemency
for the prisoner frOm the judge
decreased gradually as the case
proceeded, owing to some of the
rulings he made in the state's
favor.
After the testimOn? was all In
and the county attorney had
thrown all of his pent-up 60
quence into an appeal for justice to
the ueOple, for tan eye for an eye
and a tooth for a toOth;' and after
the attorneys for the defense had
shown to the Try the weak points
in the purely circumstantlal evl
dense against their client and had
spoken of his good character,
known both In Wild Rock and at
his eastern home, the tate of the
prisoner was left to the l. men
chosen to represent the law in
Navajo county.
Il less than 10 minutes they re-
turned and announced to the cOHrt
that they had found Frank WAg-
ner guilty of murder in the first
legree, and recommended that he
be sentenced to hang.
Never had !ifs seemed so dear tn
Young Wagner as when tue Judge,
a voice evidently calculated t.
C Try warning to all IN the court
room, sentenced the prisoner at the
bar to be hanged by the neck unit
dead on Friday, November 2S
1892. between the hours of fOul
and ten a. m.
That date was but five week:
away, and every chance Of saving
the prisoners life must be tried il
the meantime. The motion for
new trial was OverTuled by tbt
Judge, aid an appeal was denied
Two weeks before the day Of tht
execution there was bnt one hope
left, and it was with heavy hearts
that WagneI's attorneys, thorough
ly convinced of the young mans
innocence, started for Washington
to lay the case before the preslden
and appeal to him for a pardon fol
their client,
The time OF execution was less
th N "a hours away, already til
gallows had been erected in the
Jail yard, and nothing more en-
couraging than that the presiden
had taken the case under advise
ment had been heard from Wash
ington.

SOME FACTS IN REGARD TO IT
Interesting Meeting of tho Hoard of
Lady Managers OF tho Retreat
for tho sicis-Work on the New
Hospital Will Re ncsun Just AN
Soon as Possible.

Inc lady managers OF the Retreat for
ehe Sick met yesterday in the public
school building in Atlantic City Ward
Inc business transacted was chiefly of
a routine ana private nature, but some
Interesting reports were made
The new pavilion which Is being erect
ed on the old Colley property by Con-
tractor G. NJ. Parleut, to he used for
hospital purposes until the hospital
building can be erected, Is being rapidly
completed. and IL the weather remains
good. will he ready for occupancy by
December 18TH, certainly by the first OF
the year. This pavilion. which Is now
ready for the plastercr, contains four
wards. two for male patients and two
for female patients. Two of these wards
Will be devoted TO the colorcd people.
The building Is about $50 by so feet
two story, frame. The lower floor will
be taken up by the wards. The second
story Will be set apart for private rooms.
The great beauty about the pavilion Is
that 1t has not cost cent. Every bit
of the material in 1t was contributed
by the generous people of Norfolk and
even the money for Ghe building of 1t was
given. Another pleasing reflection Is
that the pavilion will not be torn down
but will be kept and used.
The committee also discussed plans for
the new hospital building and talked of
beginning certain work in connection
with It's foundation In a short time,
such as shaping up the ground At
least $4,000 will be needed for the cree
tion of the new building, and the com
mittee is sure that as soon as good times
come they will have no difficulty in Sc
curing the amount needed, and they are
certain that they shall be able to begin
work In n comparatively short time.
They anticipate raising large portion
Of the amount by an endowment plan,
permitting certain individuals who de-
sire to do so. TO endow memorial wards,
the privilege for which will cost 5000.
Already A number of public spirited peo-
pie have signiticd their desire TO endow
certain wards when the time comes.
The new hospital will font on the wa
ter, and will be considerably larger than
the building vacated by the Retreat
The residence-edifice now occupied
temporarily as hospital, Is n valuable
building and viii not be torn down,
but will be pressed into service either
as 4 wing for the new hospital or as Il
omfort able home for the nurses.
