rsu., a.pubils.n Convention.

The Republican Convention OF Texas,
which had been in session in Austin
for three days last week enjoyed the
distinction Of narrowly avoiding n
funeral and having the not unusual
thing nowadays in Texas of split con-
vention. The contest was between the
Mckinley factions and the other forces
allied. The Mckinley people succeeded
i'm winning over a great many of the ne
gro delegates, but not enough TO control
the Convention, and National Delegates
were elected favorable to Reed and Alii-
son.
When the Chairman, who was an ALT
son man. declared the result the devotees
of the Ohio man, who had massed them
selves in the middle of the hall, started
in to wipe out the opposition and take
possession Of the platform. For awhile
there was a sort of Donnybrook Fair, in
which a few whites and few blacks
were bruised considerably. Then order
was restored and some more business
transacted, after which the Convention
adjourned SINE die.
Immediately after the regular Conven-
ton adjourned, the Mckinley people
took charge of the hall and elected dele
gates of their own. They did not adopt
a platform, bat passed resolutions favor
able to their candidate.
The platform adopted by the regular
Convention was the regulation thing,
with no startling features in it.

His Personal Substitute.

NEW YORK, March GA special to the
sun says: 1t is accepted in Washing
ton as settled that if President Cleve-
land does not intend 10 be candidate
for denomination himself, he hopes 10
put Secretary Carlisle forward rs his per-
sonal substitute.
The Presidents idea, and that of his
cabinet officers who speak for him, is
that the party must adopt a gold plat
form, ont and out, and that, if they do,
the Republicans will he worse beaten
than they ever were before in presiden-
tial race, assuming. of course, that they
will adopt a straddle on the financial
question.
i member of the cabinet is authority
for the statement that the administration
has been assured by the representatives
of the great financial interests of New
York that If the Republicans do commit
themselves la financial straddle, the
business men of the east will go over in a
body To the Democratic party.

Moved Over the Dead Line.

TOPEKA, Kan, March 30.-.An old feud
between two factions at Hill City has
broken out again. Hill City is the seat
of Graham county. Several weeks ago
the people organized in the night, went
to Hillbrook, a rival town three miles
distant, and forcibly carried away the
county records and compelled the officers
TO 90 along. The town WAS able TO hold
the seat of government because J. IL.
POmeroy, now wealthy citizen of Bos-
ton, owned most of the place.
All these years the principal street Of
the town has been the dead line between
the rival factions, the Pomer0y people
and the opposition, led by another
wealthy man named Mc,;ill. For years
the post-oflice has been on the McGill
side, but the postmaster, o. B. kikley,
being a Pomeroy adherent, secretly Sc
cured permission from the government
to move the pcst-ofiice across the street.
Saturday morning, before daylight, 80
of the Pomeroy faction appeared at the
post-ofiice and moved it across the street
while the Mciill men slept. When the
latter heard of it a posse was organized
to move it back, but fear of government
officials dissuaded them. However, a
riot was narrowly averted.

A Flood Of Poo- Italians.

NEW YORK, March 27-Of FIVE hundred
Italians who arrived on Sunday from Ma
piles on the steamship Hindostan, I0l
have been detained AT Ellis Island be-
cause they have no money,and no definite
idea of what they are going to do in
America. The 'Jo9 had an average of on
ly s. each, and many were without bag
gage.
ON the Chateau Yqnim. which arrived
on Tuesday, there We're I303 Italians, in
Guiding only thirty women. They were
part ofthe multitude that hibernates in
Italy and when warm weather comes
here set sail for New York. Most ofthem
had no intention OF becoming citizens.
Commissioner Senner has retained 900
of the Chateau lqaim's immigrants, and
with the Hindostan's passengers who
have been detained, they will probably
be deported. IL is believed that they are
endeavoring to escape service in the
army.

ia which the murderer lived, and which
was destroyed 10y fire, came to-Bellefonte
and presented a bill to the county COM
missioners for 3, 40 for the property de-
stroyed.
The records show that Mrs. Goodwin
purchased the property at administra-
tors sale in February, 1895, for SOP. The
difference between the purchase price
and the value Row set upon the property
is 81 great that the claim Of Mrs. Good
win has excited considerable interest and
discussion.
The Court will he asked to decide
whether the county is liable for the de-
struction of the property.

few days have loosened the rocks so that
slides are quite common, and in this in

tons, crashed down through the residence

The accident occurred just before day

and had no warning of their horrible
fate.
\ mass of rock and earth fell on the
tracks of the Chesapeake 4 Ohio Rail-
road, and by rare presence ofmind anoth-

rious accident was narrowly averted.
An east-bound express train was just

uninjured, left the dead bodies and rush

it from the danger into which it was
plunging at the rate of forty miles per

Killed in Their Beds.

CLEvELANp, Ohio. Mar. 29.-At !
O'Clock this morning crime of almost
unparalleled airocity was perpetrated
near Tallmadge, village five miles
north of Akron. Alvin Stone, aged 20,
and wife, aged 62. while asleep at their
home, were brutality murdered by fiend,
who literally beat their heads 10 pieces,
after which numerous knife thrusts
were made into the bodies of the dead.
Two daughters, Hattie, aged 20, and
Emma, aged y aud the family man
servant, \. 4. Stillson, were also attack
ed. All three of these were fatally injured
and lie at their home awaiting death
They had been beaten about the head
with blunt instrument, which must
have been of great size and weight.
The object of the murderous assault on
the family was not robbery, as numerous
articles of value, which were on the bed
room dresser, were not taken.
ARRESTED FOR THE STONE FAMILY
BUTCHERY.
KENT, o., March 30.-Anson B. Strong,
of Ravenna, was arrested at that place to-
day on suspicion of being the murderer
of Alvin Il. Stone, his wife and Ira Still
son, farm hand, and taken TO Akron.
Several circumstances and Strong's con-
Trajectory statements lead the officers to
believe they have captured the right man,
and the excitement is at dangerous
pitch. Strong was apprehensive, but
calm after his arrest, and said he would
make a statement in few days if he was
not killed. The case against him so far
is entirely suppo osititious, but his record,
his previous connection with Mr.. Stone
and his contradictory stories regarding
his movements are taken as pieces of
presumptive evidence. The story of the
murder obtained to-day verifies all the
sickening details given yesterday.
At Akron it is the only subject dis
cussed. Yesterday the neighbors and the
public generally visited the Stone farm
and saw the dead and talked to the living,
exchanged opinions and went away.
Coroner Fouser empaneled jury and
produced John Smith, who was suspect
ed and against whom terrible feeling ex-
isted on account of the story of Flora
Stone, the only uninjured daughter, TO
the effect that the voice of the man who
killed her parents sounded like the voice
of John Smith. He is an uncouth count
ry boy Of is, who explained his where
abOuts To the satisfaction of all.
