Whereas. the late Joseph b. McCullagh,
editor of the Globe Democrat, has come to
his death under circumstances that lend it
an added sorrow in the community in which
he lived and worked; and,
whereas, IL is proper that his associ-
ateS and comrades in newspaper work in
st. Louis should in some formal manner
express their grief and regret at this mel
ancholy and tragic event; therefore,
Resolved. That it is the sense of the
newspaper men of st. Louis, in meeting as
Sembed. that in the death of Joseph Il. Nc
Cullagh the profession of journalism, whose
scope he extended, and TO which his genius
brought an enlarged influence wherever his
work was known, has sustained an irrepar-
able loss; IN the opinion OF his co-workers
Mr. McCullagh had won conspicuous
ism OF the country. and he won IL not only
by native ability and adaptation for the
work, but by that tireless energy, diligence
and exalted conception of his duty TO his
readers and to the general public that must
inspire all newspaper work that Is at once
great and wholesome.
RESOLVED. That upon us. his co-workers
IN the profession in which he a prom
inent hgure his death falls with a sense
or personal loss. We recognize in him a
man who not only adhered TO a high stand
ard of professional work, but who brought
to that work conscience. as Well as intelli-
gence ana sincere conviction, and who con-
cealed beneath an impaSSive exterior "A
heart that beat warmly for his fellow-men
and especially for his fellow-craftsmen
whose charities were extensive, but never
known through any disclosures of his own
whose integrity was never impeached. and
whose purse and sympathies were always
at the command of the unfortunate and

of the wreck. Delgado reported that he
was awakened about II o'clock midnight
Friday night by the report that the steamer
was leaking. The pumps would not work,
and the men set to work to bail the steamer
out. This proved Intellectual, and soon the
engineer reported that it was impossible
to go any further, the water had put
out the fires in the engines The Commo-

by the committee that 1t should be called
up Immediately after the holiday recess.
The more ardent supporters of the resolu-

journment, and only had yielded when the
more conservative members had agreed to
report the resolution, with the understa nd
ing thai no effort should be made to call

for recession from the agreement for imne-

 The expectation that the adminis- tratlion might count on the assistance of all the sound money democratic senators in an effort to secure curren- cy legislation is discouraged in the case of Senator Caffery Senator Caf frey said this morning, in discussing Lord Salisbury's reply, that of course there was nothing new or surprising in it, and that it was a matter that he would hardly give a thought. It was apparent to most people, he said, from the start that Great Britain would not agree to an international conference with the purpose of ra- habilitating silver.
 Being asked if he thought some currency legislation could be secured during the present session, he replied: "There is absolutely no possibility of it. It may be that some measure sug- gested by the administration will be put through the house under whip and spur, but it will be absolutely impos- sible to get it through the senate"

THEY HANGED THEIR VICTIM.
Farmer Walker Assaulted and Rob-
 bed in Jersey City.

New York, Oct. 26.- Stephen Walk CT, a farmer of Metuchen, N. J., came to this city few days ago and went to board on Greenwich street. While there he told some of the other board CTS that he had s1S0 in money and a watch, and was looking for job.
 Last night two of his fellow board CTS, Michael Sankowitch, a porter, and Louis Waschawary, a sailor, told Walker that they knew where he could get a good job. He went with them to Jersey City and walked to the outskirts of the city. There the two men assaulted Walker, bound him hand and foot, and then, accord ing to his story, put stout cord about his neck and suspended him from a branch of tree They took his money ard watch and left him to strangle to death
 Walker struggled fiercely to free himself He was about exhausted when the cordz snapped and he fell heavily to the ground. He lay there for three hours, and then made his way to this city and informed the police of what had happened. The police arrested the two men, and to- day they were held in Center stree police court without bail.
