Gov. HINDMAN accepted the .nomina-
ton for Clerk of the Court of Appeals
and has made gallant fight at great
inconvenience. He does not expect to
be elected. He is simply standing for a
principle and he is doing it at a great
personal sacrifice, and he desires the
support of every Democrat in Kentucky
who is opposed to Organism and the
Chicago platform A vote for him is a
vote to bring the party back to its old
moorings and to restore a Democracy
united on the old beliefs of the party.

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-The corpse of the
man who. on Tuesday last, fired bullet

Central Park, in this city, has been identi-
fed as that of George Weyman, better
known throughout the United States as
California George" He was a notorious
character, having been twice tried for
murder, and during the rebellion he fired
the Confederate ram Louisiana, to pre-
vent her being captured by Admiral Farra-

younger sports he had few friends.
Weyman was born in Germany sixty
years ago, lie came to this country when
young, and at the time of the gold excite
mept drifted to California, where he de-
Veloped into q card sharp. His early career
as a gambler was so crowded with reckless
daring and wild adventure that Weyman
got a reputation which spread with the
California George" A few nights after the
Heenan and Sayer's fight Weyman got into
a bitter argument at New Orleans with a
Southern sporting man named Cunningham,
concerning the relative merits of the fight
ers. When the discussion ended Cunning
ham lay dead on the floor, having been
shot by Weyinan. The latter was tried for
the killing, but acquitted on the plea
Of self-defense. At the outbreak Of the civil

the service on account of i'll health. Then
he became chief calker the Confederate

run the Mississippi blockade. Farraguts

from capture, set it afire and adrift down
the river.
After the war Weyman came to this city
and made a Bowery saloon his headQuar-

New Years morning, 1873, in Opp's Bowery
saloon Weyman stabbed Bill Gould. d
brother of the notorious dive-keeper Tom

seven years. He served his time and when

LARGEST SINCE 1892.
Volume OF business Rapidly Increas-
ing and Prices Hardening.

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say: Special kilograms from
trade ceuters throughout the country en-
phasize the growing prosperity of the
farmer due to higher prices for almost all
agricultural produce still in his hands, and
point TO a continuation of the demand
which has been conspicuous within the
past few weeks. The volume Of trade con-
tinues to increase and prices are harden
ing. No such volume Of business largely
in anticipation of requirements has been
reported since 1892. Larger transactions
have been in dry goods, clothing and shoes,
and South and West, in wagons and farm
implements.
Another very favorable bank clearings
report is found in the total $1,14O 600 600 this
week. which while it is l per cent less
than last week, is 40 per cent. larger than
in the third week of August 1896; 20 per
cent. heavier than in 1895; 10 per cent.
larger than in 1894. and fully 55 per cent.
larger than in the like week of 1898, when
clearngs totals were reduced to very low
figures Compared with the like period In
1892 a year of large volume OF business
this weeks totals show gain OF 10 per
cent. Among eighty-six of the cities re-
porting larger bank clearings, only seven
teen show decreases this week compared
with the corresponding period last year.

HIS STOMACH PUMPED.
Deaf Mute's Experience with an over
jealous Policeman and "a Doctor.

NEW YORK, Aug 20-A middle-aged
man whose clothes were sprinkled with
paris green approached policeman on
Bedford avenue and Ninth street, Williams
burg, yesterday morning To questions by
the policeman the man simply shook his
head and tried to pass on. II guess you've
poisoned yourself" said the cop, land
you'll have to go to the station house with
me-" The prisoner began to make signs in
the deaf mute language, and at the Bed
ford-avenue station he was searched. He
proved to be John Ditmar, deaf mute of 235
North Tenth street. In a pocket was found
a box which contained a small quantity of
paris green. The presence of the box had
satisfied the police that Ditmar had made
an attempt to end his life
Surgeon RieGel of the Eastern District
Hospital, soon appeared, inserted the stom-
ach pump, and set ii going. Dltmar began
to struggle, but he was soon quteted. Alter
two minutes pumping there was no evil
dence that any paris green was in Ditmar's
stomach. Riedel was on the point of ap-
plying the pump again, when Doorman
Dick Tighe, doorman in that station who
is conVersant with the deaf and dumb sign
language appeared. He watched Ditmar's
struggles for d moment, and then, turning
to the doctor, he said:
THAT man is trying to tell you that he
didn't take any paris green"
why, in the name of heavens, was /
called here then TO pump the poison out of
this MANI asked the doctor.
Tghe and Ditmar exchanged signals for
& few minutes and then the doorman said
to the sergeant: "Ditmar tells me that he
has never swallowed poison in his life. He
lives near the Bushwick creek meadows,
and lately at night not only mosquitoes
but bedbugs have annoyed him very much.
He experimental with several poisons to
see which would prove the most effective
in getting rid of his tormentors. He found
that paris green was the best and cheapest
so every night before going to bed he
sprnkled some of the stuff over his night
clothes and the bedding. Last night he
didn't take off his clothes when he went to
bed. He sprinked the stuff on them aAd
when he got up this morning he neglected
to brush his clothes. He had scarcely
reached the street When this policeman, ne
tells me- grabbed him, and after yanking
him all around brous-ht him here. Ditmar
never had any thought of killing himself"
The desk sergeant Was satisfied with the
deaf mutes explanation and let him go
Surgeon Riedel's ambulance slip TO the po-
lice was made TO read. Suspected paris
green poisoning.

WASHINGTON, aug. 20.-Advices to the
Agricultural Department from private and
indirectly from official sources confirm the
predictions of considerable deficiency in the
European wheat crop while rye, which Is
the chief bread grain of eastern Europe, is
also short. This fact, a special report Of
Statistician Hyde of the department says

one Of the greatest railroad centers in the

evidences of the dawning of new era Of
Industrial and. commercial prosperity IS
found in the fact that the number Of loaded
cars at this time is almost unprecedented
the offerings to the transportation compa-
