A Courteous Company.

The press and public generally are very much indebted to MT. r. H. Hoyler and the Western Union Telegraph Company for valuable services rendered in securing and making public the enews about the St. Louis Convention. It seems that at one time it was determined to give out no bulletins except as to the ballots and so an agreement to that effect was made between the Western Union and the Postal companies Upon the violation of this contract by the latter company the Western Union gave out detailed information of the proceedings. The rapidity with which the bulletins came and the courtesy and promptness with which they were delivered is highly com mendable and should be appreciated by the public generally. Mr Hoyler, the efficient manager, and the company are to be thanked.

 DO THE PROPER THING.
A Handsome Sum Deposited With the Cotton Belt Savings AssO- citation to the Credit of
 Mrs. P. J. Conley.

Pessimists and pessimism have received another blow. The world in it's entirety, with all of its pit falls, and its snares, has really in it, after all, great deal more good than bad Brave and loyal friends are always nt hand for the worthy. Good men still exist and they can always be found. There are thou sands whose hearts still l'ulsate in sympathy with suffering humanity everywhere.
 There are but few who will not remembre the sad surprise occa- stoned sometime ago by the an nonncement of MT. P. J. Conley's serious illness. His general popu- larity was well known and his many acts of kindness and consideration while Division Superintendent of the St. Louis Southwestern Rail- way, with headquarters at this place. had endeared him to all of the employees, who still bear testi- mony as to his merit and many acts of thoughtfulness.
 Some time ago fund was started for the benefit of the stricken man s family, and most generously did the railroad men respond, from those in the general offices to those holding the most unimportant positions. An appeal made to men whose every association urged them to respond could but be productive of the best results. The sum of $l ,680 was secured and placed at Mrs. Conley's s disposal That lady was seen this morning and stated that the amount had been received and placed to her credit with the Cotton Belt Savings Association. She had sent her thanks to those having the matter in charge and was very grateful, but had no further statement for publi' cation. All right minded men and women will applaud this speedy quo generous response to call in every way most worthy.

A California Murderer Hanged
 for His Terrible Crime.

SAN DIEGO, CAI., June 19.-J oseph Ebanks wns hanged o.day for the murder of Mrs. Harriet Stiles and her aged father near here in Septem- Der last. The crime was one of peculiar atr0eity and according to the confession of the murderer en- tirely unprovoked.

While Mrs. Stiles was engaged in finding some thing for his relief, Ebnnks suspected that the old man was going to attack him and fired his own revoly- CT with fatal results Immediately afterwards the murderer realizing his predicament made Mrs. Stiles kneel and and pray. telling her that though life was sweet to both, he preferred liberty to hanging, and so she must die to insure his safety. When the woman had finished pray ing anu arose Blanks fired twice killing her instantly aud before leav- ing the tent emptied the contents of his revolver into the prostrate body of the old man.

A point of order was raised that as the convention had a set of rules it was the duty of the chair to order that business proceed under those rules. The chair decided that motion to sus- pend was in order but not debatable.
