NASHVILLE, Tennessee. July 3D.
Ia accordance with cali issued by Inc
committee OF the National Reform
press association appointed at the
Memphis convention 10 February lest,
the Nashville conference Of the enid
die. .of-the-road populists will open here
ON Monday. The announcement for
the gathering intmates that the first
session will be held on July Attn, but
the executive committee overlooked the
fact that the nations birthday fell this
year on Sunday, and consequently no
attempt will be made to Transact Dusl.
ness tomorrow. Quite number OF
delegates have arrived nnd, according
to the prevailing sentiment, the con-
yentlon will be completely under the
control of Thomas E. Watson, OF
Georgia, the candidate OF the middle
OF the road populists for vice-president
of the United States in the campaign
OF last year, and will turn the tables ON
the fusion element Of the party by
reading both w. j. Bryan and Senator
Marion Butler, chairman OF the ma
tiopal committee Of the regulars, out
of the popnlist tanks. Bryan, so say
the delegates on the ground. deserves
no consideration for his treatment OF
Watson, while Butler proved traitor to
populist principles by promoting the
fusion of last tall. Unless milder
counsels prevail--and this 10 very un-
iikely-the forthcoming convention
will simply throw Senator Butler and
the national committee Of the regular
populists overheard, put Watson IN
Buffers place, and declare itself the
only simon-pure populist party In the
country.

ADMITTED EVERYTHING
The Case of Private Hammond at Forr
Sheridan.

Sheridan.
CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-The story told of
the treatment of Private Charles Ham
mond by Capt. Leonard A. Lowering
was confirmed yesterday by the court
of inquiry now in session at Fort Sher-
idan. The testimony of both the prin-
cipals in the case was taken, as was
that of one witness, Lieut.. Bernard,
and the statements of each corrobo-
rated in the main the evidence of the
others.
It was shown that Hammond was
dragged from the guard house over
macadamized roads, up and down
stairways, all the way to the room
where the summary court was sitting.
1t also was shown that Capt Lowering
did swear at. kick and use his sword
upon the stubborn prisoner.
Capt. Lowering asserted that his &C.
tons toward Hammond were in fur
therance of the maintenance of good
discipline, and admitted practically
everything alleged against him by
Hammond. The latter said that he
refused to appear before the court be-
cause he expected punishment when
he returned to his own post, and did
not consider that the Fort Sheridan
court had any right to try him.

SLOAN SPRINGS. Ark. Oct. 25.--Mrs-
benjamin Sapp, the young wife of
Shoemaker Sapp, created sensation
here by severely flashing Cashier R. s.
Morris of the Bank of Sloan. with a
cowhide. The shoe shop adjoining the.
bank was the scene of the episode.
Morris had been invited there by the
woman's husband, supposedly on bus
mess, and had scarcely entered when.
Mrs. Sapp darted at him, repeatedly
wrapping a rawhide, which she held
concealed by her side, around the
bankers neck and shoulders. She
was excited and struck wildly, hitting
an innocent by-stander a couple of
hard raps. Morris is married and
wealthy.
Mrs Sapp claimed Morris insulted
her, but this is denied. 1t is UNDER
stood that Mrs. Sapp signed state
ment completely generating Cashier
Morris of any act of indiscretion what
ever. outside of a few harsh words in
a business way.
