NATIONAL COMMITTEE.
A Secret Session Held in New York
To-day.

NEW YORK. Aug. 1.-THE full cam
paign machinery of the silver parties
has been set in motion and within a
few days will be spreading white
metal doctrines broadcast over the
land from national headquarters
to be selected by the national Demo,
cratic committee which went into
session behind closed doors shortly
afternoon today. The meeting is
being held at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
and the roll call by Secretary Walsh
showed a plenary session. Besides
the regular committeeman there
were in attendance a number OF men
who stand high in the coun-
ellis OF the Democratic and
Populist parties and it is expected
also that William i. Bryan will find
time to participate in the delibera-
tions should the preparation of his
speech OF acceptance permit him a
few moments leisure. This is the
first full meeting OF the committee
since the Chicago convention and as
u natural consequence there is a vast
amount of important work for it to
transact. The first matter, ofcourse
is the selection of a place for head
quarters and after this has been dis
posed OF the plans for the campaign
will be gone into in detail. The gen
eral opinion is that Washington
will be chosen as headquarters, and
possibly a branch to cover the West
and Southwest will be thought adj
yisable at Chicago. This is in
accordance with the expires sed opin-
ion of Chairman Jones who objects
strenuously to New York on the
ground that the newspapers OF the
metropolis. regardless of party
afflliations, do not seem disposed to
give the Chicago nominees "a fair
shoy," as he expresses it. On the
other hand CERTAIN element of the
committee is averse to departing
from the established custom of hay-
inc n headquarters at New York
and it is this fact which makes the
lchoiee n matter OF some uncertainty

PERHAPS FATALLY WOUNDED
Nephew of Judge W. E. Hemingway
Shot at Santa Fe. N. NJ.

News OF the perhaps ia tai wonhd
ing OF W. S. Hemingway. nephew OF
judge w. + Hemingway, of this city
at Santa Fe. n. NJ, was received
here yesterday, says the Arkansas
Gazette. A special from Memphis,
Tenn, tells the news In detail as fol
lows: Mrs. L. G. Hemingway and
Miss Hemingway, of Carrolltoh.
Miss, sister and niece, respectfully.
OF senator j. Y. George, of that
State passed through here today en-
route to Santa Fee. N. NJ, on nm cx-
tremely melancholy mission. It.was
to he at the bedside of n son and
brother, who was probably mortally
wounded last Friday night in either
IA peculiarly accidental or nm afro.
ciOusly designed manner.
The name of the wounded man is
W. S. Hemingway, - years old. yet
one of the most prominent and
promising lawyers OF that territory.
AS explained by a brother of the
young man here today, and made
known to him by wire, Hemingway
was in the midst OF a stirring speech
before a Bryan ratification audience
OF 1000, having just finished the fol-
lowing sentence when struck in the
abdomen with a bullet fired from the
audience by n party as yet unknown:
"Bryan wants no money, but desires
the honest expression of the Ameri-
can people on the money question. !"
Since the infection OF the wound he
has been unconscious. Hemingway
went to Santa Fee some eighteen
months ago. He is assistant to
United States District Attorney
William d. Childress, and ut the
meeting at which he was shot many
OF the prominent men of that city
aud section had spoken in support
of the Democratic National ticket.
Young Hemingway is nephew OF
Judge Wilson Hemingway. of Little
Rock, also of the former state treas
urer of Mississippi. His father, j. b..
RI. Hemingway, was Uuited States
district attorney at Santa Fe, but
died last May.

Three Prominent Local Resorts and
Mineral Springs.

Armstrong Springs, Searcy Springs
and Sugar Loaf Mountain in
White county. Arkansas, are reached
by the Iron Mountain Route, via
Kensett. The waters OF Searcy
Springs are strongly impregnated
with sulphur and iron. Hotel ac-
are good, Arm
strong Springs are situated few
miles west OF Searcy and its waters
are unusually valuable on account
OF large quantity of lithia they
contain; being especially adapted tn
the cure OF Indigestion, insomnia,
nervousness, kidney and bladder
trouble, etc. The accommodation
of the hotel and surrounding cot
tages are the best and there are n,i-
merops attractions to pass away
the time. Sugar Loaf Mountain has
several springs OF unusually spark
ling water OF n similar nature to the
water at Armstrong and Searcy
Springs. The Iron Mountain Route
offers reduced rates to these points,

A TRIPLE LYNcHlNG.
Three italians Hanged In Louisiana For
Murder by q Mob.


HAHNv1LLE, La, Aug ll.-There
was triple lynching here at IL o'clock
Saturday night, and Sunday morning
the bodies of three Italian murderers
were found swinging from the rafters
of shed near the courthouse, One of
the men was Lorenzo Saladino, who so
foully agsassinated Jules Gueymard at
Freetown last Tuesday night, and the
other two were Decino Sorcoro and An
gelo Marcuso. who murdered an old
Spaniard on the Ashton plantation, near
Boutte station, a few weeks ago.
Ever since the murder of Gueymard
this parish has been in fever heat of
excitement over the affair and even on
the first night after the murder it was
with great difficulty that the sheriff
prevented the lynching Of Saladino. He
spirited him away in the woods and
kept him there over night and then the
next day took him to the new Jail in
Hahnville, In the meantime the evil
dence grew against him and popular
feeling correspondingly grew in inten-
sity,
About II o'clock Saturday night the
mob. which had concentrated on the
outskirts of town, began to move on the
jail. They captured the old negro guard
and by the vigorous use of axes, with
which they were well supplied, soon
demolished the Jail and cell doors and
took the prisoners out and executed
