FISHING OUT THE DEAD MEN.
Reservoir Bursts, and the Waters Sweep
Down on Peaceful Settlements,
Seven Recovered.

Newburgh, N. Y, July 14.-The Mel
zingah reservoir in the Fishkin
mountains, near Mattewan, burst at
3 o'clock this morning owing to heavy
rains. The water ran into creek
and two miles below, near Duchess
junction, washed away the brickyard
and buildings, including two boarding
houses occupied by laborers.
0At O'Clock seven bodies had been
recovered, two of them being those of
Peter Nulligan and his wife, who kept
one of tie two clearinghouse for
backyard laborers that were swept
away. The names of the others are
not known. 1t is reported that 20 are
still missing. Tons of earth and sand
were washed down In the flood and
the men are digging into this mass to
recover other bodies.
Trains are stalled all the way from
Fishkill to Poughkeepsle. One Of
these was the Cook excursion train,
the passengers on which were expected
to start for Europe today. Burens and
Timony's brickyards on the Hudson,
just below Duchess junction, are
mile distant from the site of the re-
servoir.
Without warning the flood reached
them through a ravlne and made
terrible havoc.
Buildings were torn In pieces and
their occupants crrried away in a
raging flood. The waterworks system
is operated by private company and
supplied the villages of Mattewan and
Fishkill on the Hudson.

GOLD DEMOCRATS.
National Democratic Convention" in Ses-
sion in Louisville, Ky.


Louisville, KY, July 14.-FOr Ken
lucky, the state which has taken so
much pride in the steadfastness of her
democracy, almost novel convention
is being held here today under the
name of the Irrational democratic con-
vention." While the election of can
didate for the state court of appeals is
the ostensible purpose, it does not
give true insight into the motive of
such representative gathering. Be-
hind it all is what the leaders of the
movement pronounce the principles of
democracy, and this goes back to the
Chicago convention. In fact, gold or
silver is the fight in this state, and
that question is one which underlies
the contest here today. Probably
over seven hundred delegates Will be
IN attendance. Eighty five counties
out of one hundred and ten, have re-
ported that they will have representa-
tation, and from eight to ten delegates
are expected from each county. 1t
now appears that the republicans have
given up any idea of making a formal
overture for fusion, having in vain
demanded that the nominee of the
democrats should have his name placed
under the emblem of the republican
party to secure that party's support.
An effort was made toward decorat-
ing Music hall, in which hundreds of
jealous delegates assembled,
The duty Of calling the convention to
order fell upon Hon. J. A. Carroll of
Louisville, who has been one of the
hardest fighters IN the ranks of the
gold democrats. His appearance on
the platform was signal for gen.
Ial outburst of applause.
Mr.. Carroll led up to the introduce
tiOn of Hon. j. G. Sims, of Bowling
Green, as te emporary chairman, and
upon mention of the name of this pop
ular leader, the ssemblage again gave
itself up to applause. Judge Sims
spoke at great length. He charged
the Frankfort convention, of which
the Hon. j. q. S. Blackburn was
so great factor, with having run up
"piratical flag" and followed this
with the assertion that "We will con-
tinue the fight with all the vigor of
our minds and hearts until the last
vestige of heresy is eradicated."

Savannah Police Think They Have
Tracked the Guilty
Party.
BLOOD STAINS TELL THE TALE.
Wiley Says That He is the Villain-Start-
ling Developments in Sensational
Case.

Savannah, July 14.-Dr. Lemuel Da-
Wis, the chiropodist, whose wife con-
ducts boarding house, was arrested
this afternoon and is held charged
with being the one who mutilated J.
7. Wiley Sunday night. Since yes
terday it has been noised about that
suspicion fell upon Davis as the party
who perpetrated the crime. Detect
ives Barrett and Scully, who have
been hard at work upon the case night
and day since the cutting became
known on Monday, picked up the clue
and have followed 1T.
They visited Davis house and there
they were surprised to find blood
stalns on the stairway which they
traced on the sidewalk to Drayton
street and along the north side of the
court house. The blood marks
strengthened the detectives suspic-
ions and at u o'clock today they met
DR.. Davis entering Scott's barber shop
on BrOughtOn near jefferson street.
They asked the doctor to accompany
them to the barracks. He agreed and
ho dnfn 1of
Dermott's Office.
This morning the chief visited Will
ley at the hospital and the injured
man told the chief that he thought he
could identify his assailant, whom he
described as being tall, dark com
plexiOned man with heavy NOUS
tache and bushy hair, which tallies
somewhat with the appearance of
DIR. DAVIS. Wiley further told the
chief that the house he went to with
the woman he met on the street was a
three-story brick house with the stairs
running up on the side, which cores
ponds with the house Davis lives in.
In going to the house Wiley said he
passed large yellow building, but he
didn't know particularly what the ed
ifice was. From the description the
chief surmised it was the court house,
and Davis lives only two doors below
the county capitol.
When DR.. Davis was taken before
Wiley, he said that to the best of his
knowledge and belief the doctor was
the man who operated upon him.
1t Will be remembered that DIR. Lem
Davis shot and killed William M.
Rawls on the morning of April 6, 1894
Alleged improper attentions to DR..
Davis wife was given as the cause of
the killing.

Now Good Time Compromise ALI Past Differences Together

But as to his responsibility, am
free to say he by no means looks or
speaks like a man who could plan and
carry out murder. HIS eyes are of
watery, faded out blue; there is a
tremor in his voice and hands, which
speaks of shattered nerves. 1t doesn't
seem possible, with death staring him
in the face constantly, surrounded as
he is by everything to remind him of
the awful sternness and power of the
law, that he would persist in his de-
mails, If they were only denials and
not truth.
He said, in answer to my inquiry:
"No'm, don't want pothin' 'ceptin'
somethin' good to eat"
"Chicken?" suggested.
"Naw, not particularly. But good
things like rich folks eat. Tobacco?
Nav don't care specially for tobacco
cause amt got no pipe"
Now to me it seemed utterly incon-
gruOus for man condemned to death
to switch from discussing the salvation
of his soul to a demand for ''something
good to eat" And that is where his
irresponslbility shows itself.
Physically he looks as well, and bet
ter, than many men free to come and
go, but mentally, there is something
lacking.
Glynn county is to be congratulated
on its jailer. Lowry appeals to Mr..
Rudolph as to friend. OF the sheriff
he speaks with positive affection. He
was grateful to THE TIMES for the in
terest it took in him, but in spite of
all and through it all, he is weak
minded, simple-hearted old man, and
humanity will gain nothing, either as
lesson to others or as a punishment
to him, if he is hanged.
His mind is undoubtedly giving
way, and should he be saved from the
gallows the chances are. as said be-
fore, he Will require medical attention
in very short while.
1 have always contended that senti-
ment and law would not assimilate.
have tried not to be prejudiced either
way. l know nothing of Lowry's
trial, but it seems to ne if he had
been given the advantage of all that
was in his case, if all the facts had
been properly brought out to combat
the circumstances that operated SO
strongly against him, he would GER
tainly have been the object, at least,
of the "mercy of the COURT.

"LAL" INTERVIEWS THE PRISONER.
A WOmans Impressions of the Indian
Trapper - Said He Was
Much Obliged"

Governor Atkinson yesterday COM
muted the sentence of M. Lowry, the
Indian trapper, to life Imprisonment
in the penitentiary.
Lowry was to be hanged on next
Friday. He was respited for thirty
days last month by Governor Atkin-
son. Strong efforts have been made
during the past week to impress upon
the governor the grave doubts exist
ing as to Lowry's guilt.
The news came IN a telegram to
Clerk j. l.. Beach from Sheriff Berrle.
Clerk Beach and Clerk Bodet went at
once to the Jail, to impart the intelli-
gence to the man mostly concerned.
1t was an impressive scene.
"Well, Lowry, asked Mr.. Beach,
"how are you feeling today?"
every we'll, sir" said the old man,
rising from the couch, and closing
his Bible.
"Are you prepared to die on Fri
day?"
"Yes, sir" was the response. "We've
all got to die. But would rather die
some other way"
81 have news for you," said Mr..
Beach. "The governor has saved
your life"
The old mans eyes filled with tears.
E was too deeply affected to speak.
There was silence of several min
utes.
At last Lowry regained control OF
himself. There was within him such
an overmastering emotion that it had.
temporarily, deprived him of the
power Vi speech.
81 am very much obliged, was his
first utterance. And it was the last
in the interview. The old fellow re-
tired to his couch-perhaps to return
fervent thanks to Him of whom he
had read so earnestly IN the soiled
and thum -bworn volume that had
been the cherished comforter of his
prison hours.
The TIMES, realizing the general in
terest locally in Lowry's case, deter
mined to study the man from a new
pOint-that of woman. Ac-
cordingly, Mrs. Alice Louise Lytle, of
the staff, was detailed to interview
Lowry in his cell. The interview oc-
Cured before the news came that the
sentence was commuted. Mrs Lytle's
observations. appear below:
"Familiarity breeds contempt" runs
the old proverb. Our familiarity with
the gloomy looking jail which we have
passed and repassed daily for years
maybe leads to feeling akin to con-
tempt for its inmates.
AT present the inmate around whom
most interest is centered is "Old Man"
Lowry. His trial and sentence are
too well known to be detailed here,
and it was more with a view of learn
ing something of the poor old fellows
feelings, if possible, that The TIMES
detailed the writer to visit him IN his
cell at the prison.
We have been told often that first
impressions are to be relied upon. If
they go for anything, then Lowry is
IN very fair way to be a candidate
for an insane asylum.
One unconsciously forms ideas, and
Lowry's face is by no means that of
murderer. He is ignorant in the
sense all uneducated persons are, but
he does not, as | have heard said he
did, possess cunning. AS to his guilt
or innocence,it would be presumptious
for me TO even hazard guess at that,
after the "twelve good men and true"
had decided.
