Fourth of July celebration held at Long

4 large excursion steamer left here
Friday night with a large crowd intent
on seeing the sports and joining in the
festivities. The refreshment buffet of
the steamer was not closed, as IL should

KEY WEST (Fla), July 6.-The
steamer Three Friends passed here at

CHICAGO. July Ga conference of
the accredited representatives of free

After much discussion Senator Till

er the silver men could get together
and name q slase for officers of the con-
vention and for President and Vice
President of the United States to be

silver men. The vote on this proposi-
ton stood: Ayes 11S, nays so, undecid-
ed 800.
Previous to the vote and leading up
to it was a long and earnest debate.
Governor Tiliman said it was to his
mind essential to present a firm front,
and to accomplish this organization
must be had. The gold bugs were here

ton and disorganization, and were

A CARD FROM GOMPERS.

CHICAGO, July 6.-Samuel Gompers.

the following:
Chicago, July 6-To the Public:
This morning papers publish a dispatch
purporting to have been sent by me

that the dispatch is a clumsy forgery,

attempt to use my name and position

foreign to Americans and methods of
the American Federation Of Labor.
This is not written to prejudice Nc
Leans candidacy, or to further that of
any other gentlemen, but in the interest
of our cause, the members and devotees
of which have a right to insist that as
their executive officer 1 shall in no way
influence the choice. Very respectfully,

any particular reason, as he states, IN
stinctively settled upon the man cyrus
Barnard as the murderer, being con-
firmed in his suspicion by the discovery
that Barnard had recently pawned his
gold watch and revolver with local
bar-keeper, and on the first OF the
month had redeemed the latter, stating
that he Should need it.
IT was ascertained that Barnard S
shoes corresponded to the murderers
tracks After comforting with Sher1d
Hicks they agreed together that it
would be a wise and justifiable step to
arrest the man, and determined to keep
the arrest secret as they were sure
they knew his character well enough TO
rely upon easily extracting confession
from him should he really be guilty OF
the crime. Hopkins, therefore, called
upon Deputy Sheriff ]. n. johnson to
accompany him, and little before ~
o'clock proceeded to Barnards cottage.

leaving a screen door closed between
him and the man. Hopkins incautious-
ly struck a match, intending to follow
him and wishing to see his way.
What do you want?" asked Barnard
again.
Come out, and I'll tell you" was the
response.
TELL me now; look out"
BY this time the match had famed
up brightly, revealing Hopkins and
Johnson's forms to the man Gagged with
in. A shot sounded, and 3S-calibre
bullet pierced the rim of Hopkins felt

ing the eX-MarshaFs face, at such close
range We're the men. Hopkins instant
ly answered the fire, taking a center
aim as we'll as he could in the dark
ness. The screen door sprung to, and
a second shot was heard from Barn
ards pistol. The two officers, not know
ing the effect of Hopkins shot, decided
that as the man was evidently deSper-
ate, it would be wise to get more help.
They went off, leaving the house in
darkness. When they returned with
lights they found Barnard lying dead
on the floor, shot through the heart.
Only a superficial examination of the
dead mans pockets and of the prem
ises could be made tonight, and moth
ing was found of a directly incrim-
mating character Tomorrow papers
and letters found in the house will be
examined and may throw some light
on the mystery.
Barnard has been generally looked
upon as a weak and susceptible fellow,
whose frailty has been a disposition to
conceive passions for young ladies with
whom he had no acquaintance. He
has recently set up in the profession of
a dog trainer, and is said to have car
ried a stick similar to the one found on
the scene of the Richardson tragedy
His mother, an excellent woman, a Mrs.

MOB RULE AT MINNEAPOLIS
Many People, Including Three Police
men, Injured as Result.

MINNEAPOLIS, July 6-For couple
or hours tonight this city was given
over to mob rule, and as result many
people were injured, including several
policemen.
The trouble arose during female BIZ
cycle race. The management, without
previous announcement, raised the price
of admission from twenty-five cents to
81 %, and when the time for starting
arrived the star attraction, Dottie
Farnsworth, the champion rider of the
world, was not visible, but was detained
at her home as result of illness.
The crowd refused to allow the race
to proceed, and demanded their money
back. The Treasurer had, however,
disappeared with the receipts, and when
this fact was aScertained the riders
We're pulled bodily from their wheels,
the track was covered with tacks and
broken glass, and the office was broken
into by couple of thousand enraged
and defrauded people.
When they discovered that there was
no money in sight they took their re-
venge out by tearing up the track, raz-
ing the grand stand, ripping fences
down, smashing several buildings into
kindling wood, and doing all the damage
possible.
A mob alarm was turned into police
headquarters and platoon of fifty po-
liCemen was sent to the spot During
the clearing of the grounds several peo-
pie were badly injured, including three
policemen, who were struck on the head
with bricks. Finally order was restored
and the injured men We're removed to
their homes.
Action will be taken against the man
agement charging them with obtaining
money under false pretenses.
The record-union., 1896-07-07

silver men even now hesitated to take
the lead and keep it.
Governor Altgeld of Illinois stated
that from what he understood yesterday
no silver conference could be held which
would include all the 600 and odd silver
delegates in the convention. Never
theless, if such conference seem wise
to those present, Illinois would be found
acting in concert to promote the silver
cause. Illinois had no candidate to
present, and was hampered in no way
which could interfere with her giving
her best efforts to nominate a candi-
date upon a platform that would COM
mand the majority of the votes of the
people in the North. Still, he thought
there might be something in confer
ence of SO many as 600 men with no
rules to guide them, and unless all
speeches were eliminated and they sim
ply came down to voting on propositions
and men the conference might find at
its close that it left them less united
than at the beginning.
O'Donneu of Colorado reiterated his
remarks of last Friday night, that it
was necessary for the silver men to
get together, so that the gold bugs of
the East could not throw their votes in
a body to some silver man less objec-
tionable to the gold bugs, and thus
nominate him. Such a man nominated
in such a way, he declared, could not
carry Colorado.
Without taking any action, but with
the understanding that each of the
delegates present would endeavor to get
in touch with his delegation and ascer-
tain if any changes had taken place,
the conference adjourned to meet again
later.
The next event Of the evening was a
conference of silver men at the Sherman
House, with the evident view of deter
mining on a line of procedure to defeat
the National Committee in the event
that it sought to prevent the name of
a silver man being presented in the
convention as temporary Chairman.
The conference was called for 9 o'clock.
and was to consist of one member
from each State having a silver dele
cation or silver representatives. The
members were slow in arriving. and
whips were sent out. 1t was explained
to those who hesitated that there was
but one set purpose before the confer
ence--to outwit the National Commit
tee-and that the subject of candidates
would not be touched upon.
After a short recess the conference
reassembled at II O'Clock, and a re-
vised count was made of the vote
which could be relied on to support the
substitution of Senator Daniels name
for that of Senator Hill. The total of
votes spoken for was 574 with sixteen
more expected before the convention is
called to order, making 800 for the sill
