 in Maintaining the Gold Reserve.

in Maintaining the Gold Reserve.
 Boston, July 22-Boston bankers are coming forward in pursuance of the course taken in New York yesterday, and are subscribing a part of their gold holdings for the benefit of the national gold reserve. President Beal of the Boston clearing house was asked over telephone by President Tappan Of the Gallatin National bank, New York. yesterday, if he would do what he could to get the Boston banks to subscribe some of their gold and to-day he has been about the street conferring with the different bank officers in regard to the matter.
 It was proposed that each bank should turn over 30 per cent. of it's gold and a subscription paper was cir culated for signatures. The banks showed no apprehension at the situa- tion and in general there was readi- ness to help out the government in the way offered. There was no general conference of bank officers in regard to the matter, although Mir. Beal had talk with several representatives at the clearing house in the afternoon. The rest has been done by personal in terviews with the bankers in circulat- ing the subscription paper. The total gold holdings in the city are about S6,OO0,000.

James Murphy Seeks to Kill His Two
 Children. tle .


 Boston, July 22.In Cambridge to- night James Murphy, who lives with his wife and children at No. Porter street, was arrested charged with at tempting to kill two of his children. John, aged four, and Lizzie, aged eighteen months.
 About z o'clock his wife came rush. ing from the house, screaming that her husband was killing the children and had cut their throats with a razor. The police responded quickly and arrested Murphy, who had a razor in his hand. The children were found as if dead, their heads turned to one side, their tongues hanging out, while there were discolorations on their threats. A p1y- sician was hastily summoned and after a time they revived, although their ul- innate recovery is a matter Of doubt. Murphy denied that he had intended to use the razor on the children, saying he was going to shave himself. but as his face is smooth as though shaven this morning, the police take no stock in his statement. He has violent temper, and it is said he has frequently threatened to kill the children.

RAGING dT D EYROTT.
Great Pacing in the 2:14 Class-Othel Events,

Great Facing in the 2:14 Class-Other Events.
 Detroit, July PA heavy rain short ly before noon to-day left the track at
 Crosse Point in poor shape. The sun came out, however, and by o'clock the going was good and the track not
 more than three seconds slow. By 4 o'clock it was in excellent condition. The great M. and M stake was on to- days card, but was not reached. The attendance was large and the specta- tors witnessed some sensational racing, especially in the 2:14 pacing event. In the 2:19 trotting Bessie Wilson and Derby Princess were about equal fa- vorites, but the latter won with lots to spare. Red Oak, the favorite, had
 an easy time of it in the 220 pace after I the first heat.
 | It took eight heats to decide the 2:14 1 pacing, and every heat was race from start to finish. In the first heat Hail Cloud made a great rush in the stretch and beat out Simmons by a head. Hail Cloud and Simmons made the racing in the second heat all the way around. In the driving finish Simmons won by nose in 2:101k. Billy 1 c. was the surprise for the talent in the third, which also was sensational fin 1 ish. Hickok sent Josie B. out in the | fourth, and although Billy C. gave the
 bay mare a hot argument in the stretch | she was good enough to beat him by a head.
 Tn the fifth heat Hail Cloud made another great burst of speed in the | stretch and forced Josie B., who won
 by head, to clip her record one-quar-
 ter of a seconf. In the sixth heat Mi
 coll B. had the speed and won out in a close finish. Josie B. was laid up in the
 seventh heat and Nicoll B. had things
 pretty ~mGch his own way. Coming l down the stretch in the last heat Josie
 B. gained on Nicoll B. at every stride 1 but she could not quite get up and
 Nicoll won by nose.

When the clothing was removed from the woman a gaping wound on the left breast was discovered, evidently hay- ing been made with the axe The blows she received in the face made her coun- tenaiiee almost unrecognizable, as they cut the side of her face open and jam med her upper row of teeth all togeth- CT. The second mates head is split open, and across the captains face there are three gaping wounds.
 Mate Bram was captain of lighter at New York two years ago. A Eali- fax man, who met him there at the time, recognized him at the station to- day. Recognition was mutual. Bram when in New York was regarded by his associates as a sort of ''hy-off" fel- low. He is one of the boys and is lib- eral in spending money. He states that he is member of a Masonic lodge in New York.

THE POPULIST CONVENTION
QUESTION OF ENDORSING BRYAN
 STILL IN DOUBT.

Most of the Leaders Favor Such Action The Opening Day Devoted to Speeches Setting Forth the Grandeur of the Party Senator Butler Denounces Monopolies, Etc.-Governor Stone Does Likewise and Everybody Appiauds-Conv Adjourned Until 10 o'clock This Morn ing.
 St. Louis, July 22-When the popu- lists got together this evening they found themselves in trouble. No pro- vision had been made for lighting the hall Neither gas nor electricity gave by the newspaper men and telegraphers served to make the darkness intense and more picturesque. There was a full attendance on the floor and many spectators were in the galleries. For half an hour humorously inclined peo- pie in the galleries and on the floor in. dulged in jokes at the expense of the populists, and jeers and college yells prevailed
 made from the chairman's platform. but they were received with derision and hootings Finally some of the deI- egates started to sing the national an- them. Others joined in and the band played the accompaniment, and this restored better humor. The band con- tinued to play, and it was promised from the chair that light would soon be forthcoming.
 The real explanation of the trouble was that whoever was in charge of the arrangements had neglected to engage service for the evening from the cleo tric light company until late this even ing, when it was too late to turn on the current without great risk, as prelimi- nary tests of the circuits were neces. sary.
 Some suggestions of adjournment were made, but they met with no favor, the crowd rather enjoying the darkness and the fun. The band kept up it's music--"Dixie" and other popular airs and the crowd shouted and varied the shouting with cheers and jocular re- marks.
 This went on without particle of light; save from the few candles stuck on the reporters table and one on the c11airman's table Negro melodies were sung. John Browns Body" and more college yells were indulged in As 3nere was no prospect of the electric light being turned on, it was announc- Id at $50 D. m that the convention ad adjourned until 10 a. m. to-mor- DIV.
