SHOT HER LOVER, R..
Mrs. Rebecca Sutton Kills Martin Reed
and Then Commits Suicide.
Jealousy the Cause.

Hampton Junction. N. j., June PA
double tragedy occurred here this morn
ing Mrs. Rebecca Sutton, aged IS
years, fatally shot her paramour, Mar
tin Reeo, aged 2S years, and then shot
and killed herself. The woman died
instantly and Reed lived but two hours.
Jealousy is supposed to have been the
cause of the tragedy. Mrs. Sutton and
Reed had been intimate for some time.
They formerly resided at Califon, where
Reed was aboarder in the Sutton house,
hold. Sutton and his wife separated,
and Mrs. Sutton came here and became
intimate with Reed. She entered the
employ of Hotelkeeper Tiff as house,
keeper. Reed followed her and they
were frequently seen together Last
night they went riding together and
did not return to the hotel until nearly
midnight
This morning the woman arose early
and prepared breakfast at the hotel.
Some time afterwards Mr. 1liff heard
the report of a pistol upstairs and he
hastened to the spot. He found Mrs.
Sutton on the floor dead and Reed was
lying on bed with two bullet wounds in
his head and one in his body. He died
two hours later. The suppositlon is that
Mrs. Sutton shot Reed and believing
him to be dead, killed herself. Mrs
Sutton leaves family of eight children,
the Oldest IA years of age. Her hus-
band still lives at Califon. Reed Is
unmarried.

hour Of confusion was spent in trying
to get hearing for Bynum. Finally
when everybody was tired out, ex-Con-
gresham John f. Lamb, a silver dele
gate. moved that Bynum be given flve
minutes Of time, and order was grad
ually restored. A roll was taken on
this motion which was carried by
slight majority. When Mr.. Bynum took
the stage, he was greeted with boots,
Kisses and cheers. He first explained
that under the rules Of the convention
he had right to be heard. and then
read the amendment which he had in
tended to Offer This was to strike out
the financial plank and insert in its
stead financial plank adopted at Chi
cago in 1892. After reading this he de-
clared that Grover Cleveland was for
sound money and that ninety per cent.
of the Democrats of Indiana were for
Grover Cleveland still. This was greet
ed with such storm of boots and
howls that nothing further could be
heard. The convention would not listen
to another word and Bynum was finally
compelled to retire
The platform adopted expressed SYM
pathy for the Cubans, and that they
should be granted belligerent rights.
The election of United States senators
by the direct vote of the people was
favored, and the delegates to the ma
tional convention were instructed to
cast the votes first last and all the
time for Governor Claude Matthews,
and to vote as a unit.
The financial plank follows:
We reaffirm our adherence and faith In
the Democratic doctrine of bimetallism
and therefore we demand the immediate
restoration of bimetallism by the free and
unlimited coinage Of both silver and gold
as primary money at the ratio Of sixteen
to one. without waiting the cooperation

power, such coinage to be full tender pay.

Gold and Silver Democrats Form a
Very Lively Convention.


VERY Lively Convention.
Indianapolis, June 24-When the
Democratic state convention was called
to order today the hall was crowded to
the doors. While silver men had an
overwhelming majority, the gold men
succeeded by strategy in capturing the
committee on organization and turning
down j. G. Shankling and b. F. Shively.
whom the silver people had fixed upon
for delegates-at-large, and recon-
mending in their stead G. V. Menzles, a
gold man, and Judge James McCabe,
whose enthusiasm for silver is not very
strong. After prayer and roll call the
organization committee reported in fa-
vor of Senators Voorhees, and Turpie,
Major MenEies and Judge McCabe for
delegates at-large. The silver men at
once moved to have Standings name
substituted for that of MenZies. Con-
gressman Bynum moved to table the
motion, but this was voted down.
Shankling got the floor and endeavored
to withdraw his name but there We're

The platform was started on it's way
by motion for the previous question,
when w. ID. Bynum arose and a wild
scene ensued. He was intending to Of

endeavored to howl him down, but he
stood his ground. Chairman Bell de-
clared him out Of order, and declared
the platform adopted, but Bynum Wild

was acting under the rules. Each side
tried to out-yell the other and the police
were ordered to clear the aisles, but
Bynum still stood untouched. Senator
Turpie was brought forward and start
ed to speak, but 1t was five minutes be-

M'KINLEY'S LETTERS.
The Presidential Nominee Receives
1000 DaiIy--Various Messages
Of C0ngratulatiOn.

Canton, Ohio. June 24.-When Major
Mckinley came down to breakfast this
morning he found the postman had left
a thousand letters. The average NUM-
Der of letters received daily is upwards
of 4,O0O
The first callers today were Governor
]. II. McGraw, of Washington, r. c.
Washburn. editor of the Seattle Post
Intelligencer and John Nome, of'Zanes-
vile, one of the well-known manufact-
urers of Ohio Governor McGraw
thinks Washington will support the
sound money party and platform, for
the reason that the population of the
state is largely made up Of educated
people from the east, who view with
alarm the demands of the free silver
men.
Editor Washburn predicts that all Of
the coast states will be carried by the
Republicans, but thinks they may lose
Idaho, Colorado and Montana.
Major Mckinley said today that he
had not been informed that the date
for the visit of the notification commit
tee had been changed, as announced
in dispatches from Cleveland in certain
papers this morning. He is going on
with his arrangements, for the recep-
ton of the committee on Monday and
has ordered large tent to be set up on
his lawn Monday morning. Luncheon
for hundred persons will be served in
the tent. At half past one the members
of the Republican Editorial association
! of Michigan arrived from Cleveland
and called on Major Mckinley.
Among the messages of congratula-
tion which reached Major Mckinley
this afternoon was one from Governor
Bradley of Kentucky; Governor Morell,
of Kansas, and Major General o. ..
Howard. The interesting feature Of
the day in Canton was the reception
of the Michigan editors and their wives.
Arrangements are being made by the
residents of Canton, Of Pennsylvania
origin, to give a special personal and
hearty reception to Senator Quay when
| he comes here Monday next.

KERSHNER FOUND DEAD.
A Real Estate Agents Strange Death
Unexplained.

Reading June 24-This city was
startled this evening by the announce
ment that Gearge w. Kershner, the
well-known real estate agent had been
found shot in the yard at Ganser's hotel,
Ninth and Penn streets. At first 1t was
thought to have been suicide. but the
weapon cannot be found and just how
he met his death is shrouded in mys-
terry.
The suppositlon is that he was killed
by a stray bullet or by some unknown
person. The ball, a 80 calibre, entered
the left temple and passed nearly
through the head bulging out on the
other side. There were no powder marks
and death must have been instantan-
eOus. Deceased was about "a years of
age and had charge of the renting of
several hundred properties. Chief of
police Albrecht is of the opinion that
ii was not case of suicide and q
thorough investigation is being made.

LEE LETTER A FAKE.
Spanish Officials Are Convinced That
Was BOgOs.

Washington, June 24.-State depart
ment officials are satisfied that the let
ter alleged to have been received by
relative of General Fitzhugh Lee from
the latter containing severe reflections
on Spanish methods in Cuba and pub
lished in several newspapers, is a
fake" pue and simple. The relative
in question denies absolutely that he
received such letter and also says
that he has not been in correspondence
with the consul for several months.
If the Spanish government makes any
inquiry about the matter 1t will be
given positive evidence that no such
letter was written by General Lee and
that imposition was practiced on the
Washington correspondents who tele-
graphed 1t to their newspapers.
