AW ssss TO FIND HER ATTACKING FATHER

Cincinnati, July 20.-A special to the Post from Huntington, W. Va, says: Six miles above here, at the mouth of Three Mile creek, occurred one of the most horrible murders ever known in the upper Ohio waters. The scene was a shanty boat and the killed are: A. J. Call 45 years of age; Nettie Call, his daughter, "A years of age. Lottle Call; another daughter, is fatally injured, and those in critical condition are Grace Call, Il years of age, and Otis Call 13 years of age.
 Late last night Call and his family re- tired. Etta Robbins, 24 years of age, was at their house and retired with one of the daughters. A little boy, who was sleeping with his father makes the first statement, he being the only one out side of the Robbins woman able to talk:
 At o'clock this morning was awalx- ened by Etta Robbins cutting my father with an ax. My sisters. Lottie and Net, tie, ran into our room and Miss Robbins turned on them. She killed Nettie and cut Lottie's throat, when Lottie leaped from the boat into the river. She then cut several of us children and threw the ax at Lottie, who was swimming to tho shore"
 The woman acknowledged the killing of A. J. Call, but denies killing the others Calls head was almost cut off and his heart was visible from a wound in his breast. The head of the girl killed was also almost cut off and her heart cut out. The children were cut in a dozen places, A coroner's jury was empaneled. The verdict was that Etta Robbins commit ted the murders. The boat was cut loose and brought here and the woman placed in jail. Feeling Is very strong and thou- sands or excited persons line the river bank and many threats are heard.

THE OTHER SIDE.
A Claim That the Majority of the Delegates Will Turn Down Bryan

Will Turn Down Bryan.
 St. Louis, July 20.-The headquarters of the middle of the road" populists are at the Laclede hotel. The middle of the road" popuhsts are opposed to fusion or the nomination of any candidate identi- fled with either of the old parties, and, as they express 1t. to any trimming of tine platform. The officials in charge say three-fourths of the delegates are now in the city and the claim is made that when the convention assemblies 1t will contain a majority of delegates who will not only oppose Bryan's nomination, but the nomination of any other man who is not populist.
 The middle road" people are working Independently of the national committee and other officers of the organization They claim to be the rank and file of tho party and to represent the true princi- ples of populism. There Is a disposition on the part of the leaders who are urging the nomination of Bryan to belittle the middle of the road" element, but 1t is obvious that even though their strength be exaggerated they will prove an inn portant factor when the struggle in the convention for supremacy begins.
 The Kansas delegation this afternoon went on record informally regarding its choice for president Only thirty three of the eighty-two delegates from the state were present and twenty-eieht of them were for Bryan and Sewall. three for Bryan. but opposed to SewalI. and one in favor of an independent nomina- ton. with division of electors The del egates who did not want Sewall for vice president named Tom Watson of Geor- gia as their choice for second place.
 Senator Peffer said he saw no better way to unite the entire free silver vote of the country than to nominate Bryan.

ALABAMA DELEGATES.
A Number Pass Through the City-In @
 State of Indecision.


 State of Indecision. Delegates to the St. Louis convention from Ta1ladega, Perry, Dallas and Tus- kaloosa counties reached the city last night.
 From the general tone of their conver- sation they all appeared at sea as to what action they will take. Some are favorable to the indorsement of Bryan, while others seem to fear that such an indorsement might react against them in | the state election. It was quite evident | that their minds are not made up and will not be until they meet with their leaders.
 There was not the same buoyancy in their spirits at this stage of the campaign as was characteristic with them when they were reading after Frank Baltzell in the old Alliance Herald and following the leadership of Kolb. It is evident their confidence of success is on the wane, and during several minutes con- versation the reporter noted that the name of Captain Goodwin was called but once, while "our ticket" was often referred to with as much enthusiasm as is possible when a game of freeze-out is known to be in progress or one is walking through the cemetery whistling to keep his courage up.
 Editor Hobson of Tuscaloosa was among the number, and he claims vic- tory by S5,000, but when he put in this claim his mind seemed to revert with a forlorn look to his speech before the state convention, when he fought fusion so hard and saw so plainly that the party he claims to love so well was being swal- lowed up by the republicans, and in future he would have to bow to Moseley and Bill Stevens and call them blessed. MT. Bingham of Talladega was in high spirits. He has not been populst many
 years. and 1t was like returning home after a jaunt around the circuit when he found himself again in the republican party He is as lively as cricket in chimney corner. and realizes that if his party is defeated he has the pleasure of knowing there are more republicans in Alabama now than when he left the party and the split he has helped to make has not been without It's results.

MT. Bland Will Not Have the Gubernato-

 St. Louis, July 20.-Ever since the Chi cago convention the friends of Hon. R.. P. Bland have been persistent in their demands that he become the democratic candidate for governor of Missouri, but he has steadily refused and stated that he wished to return to congress. To set the matter at rest MT. Bland sent the fol- lowing to local democratic leaders:
 NO one is authorized to use my name for governor. I have stated over and over again that would not accept the nomination. I am rot in the habit of lying about an important matter like this. If the convention should nominate me over my protest 1t would have its work to do over again. I would not ac- cept it. R. P. BLAND"
