ANEl.GOEBEL DEMOCRATS
Proceedings OF the Meeting Held at
Bowling Green. Ky.

Bowling Green, KY, July 24.-The
anti-Goebel meeting here today was
largely attended. Ex-Congressman w.
G. Owens Sent a letter condemning the
nomination of Goebel for governor and
criticising the work of the Louisville
convention generally. The meeting
adopted resolutions c~ondemning the
movement ~inaugurated by ~so-called
democrats in eastern states to aban-
don the principles of the Chicago plat
form, and endorsing William Jennings
Bryan for president and charging that
the state convention in Louisville which
nominated GOebe1 was perverted from
its true purpose by corruption, fraud
and force, by intrigue and treachery,
by infamous rulings of the acting
chairman, thereby setting at naught
the time-honored principles of democ-
racy that the will Of the majority of
the people shall be the governing
power"
The resolutions deny that the ticket
is entitled to or should receive the sup
port of the party in this state.
The convention r~epudiated the So
called nominee n lin order to pre-
serve the integrity Of the party and to
secure the election of democrats re-
quested a provisional executive COM
mittee' of twelve to meet at Licking
ton, August End, and meanwhile to
take steps to secure a full representa-
ton at hat meeting of democrats
Throughout the state who are in SYM
pathy with the movement.

A Boy Found who Processes to Having
Been an Eye Witness to the ShOOt>
ing

Chicago, July 24.-Evidence which
might have had an important bearing
in the trial of Mrs. Anna George, of
Canton, Ohio, charged with the muir
der of George Saxton, brother-in-law Of
President Mckinley, last October, came
to light today in the Juvenile court.
Russel Hogan, Is years old, who was
brought before the court as Richard
Mcknight, declared that he had wit
messed the shooting and had left home
that night through fear of being call
ed as a witness at the trial.
Il was standing right across Lincoln
avenue from Mrs. Althouse's place and
saw Mr.. Saxton on the porch and saw
Mrs. George shoot him. I was afraid
they might do something to me If 1 told
what 1 had seen, so 1 left home and
have Travelled all over the country
since lthen," said the hoy when assur-
ed by Judge TuthiH that nothing would
happen to him if he told the ruth.
In response to further questions,
young Hogan said that his father was
K. M. Hogan, superintendent of the
Aultmann Manufacturing Company
and we'll known in Canton. Judge Tut
hill directed that the case be continu-
ed till Thursday, July 9th, and in
structed Probation Officer Kelsey 20

be his son. The boy is bright and good

duct.

The twenty-seventh annual session
week, covering two days. The ses-
sion was one of the very best in every
way the association has ever held, and
the attendance was the largest IN Its
history.
Most of the editors went on the trains
which arrive in Wilmington late Tues
day afternoon, and o the 1870 boat
for Carolina Beach. h boat makes
the trip down the river to the pier,
a distance Of thirteen miles, in less
than an hour. Captain John w. Harper,
the owner of the line, who takes a keen
personal interest in the comfort OF his
passengers, was with US, n showed
us many points Of interest all down the
river. Captain Harper a been run
ming on the river for twenty-six years,
and knows every spot on it, and is as
we'll acquainted with the colonial and
later history of the lower Cape Fear.
1t is interesting to have one like him
point out the places Of interest, the old
wrecks, colonial plantations, rice helds
etc. Captain Harper is n of the most
genial of men. He is loved by every
| one in Wilmington and in that section.
He is courteous, clever, gentlemanly,
lovable The editors were given carte
blanche over his line during the whole
week, and it seemed to be a pleasure
to him to thus honor them. They all
voted him a great fellow. his boat, the
Wilmington, plies between Wilmington,
Carolina Beach and Southport, and we
advise every one who goes to Whining
ton to lake this delightful ride by all
means.
The Wilmington people were espe-
cially kind and attentive to US. A
committee was appointed by the cham
Der of commerce to meet the incoming
trains and welcome the quill-pushers
to the city. The street car company
extended it's courtesies, and the badges
of Jul members was all that was need
ed to pass them. MI. T. H~einsberger,
of the Merchants Association, and Mr..
Benz. Bell, of The Messenger, were es-
pecially attentive to our needs, going
with us to Carolina Beach n admin
istering to our needs during our whole
stay, anticipating them in many cases.

NICARAGUA REVOLUTION
Evidences of Persistent ZeIaya Beng
Hard Pressed

Mobile, Ala, July 22.-Mail advices
from Central America by the last fruit
steamer indicate that the latest revolt
in Nicaragua, in the meridinal depart
ment, is causing the administration Of
President Zelaya serious concern. Since
the rising of General Reyes, in the
Bluefields region, there have been a
series of unsuccessful attempts against
Zelaya which he has subdued with.the
aid from the liberal administration of
Honduras and Salvador. 1t is said in
a letter received in this city yesterday
that Zelaya has issued an order for a
forced loan of $500, 900 to be raised i'm
mediately n that his proclamation in
structs the departmental commandments
to insist that every available resident
Of Nicaragua shall assist the republic
without delay.
The letter adds that the censorship
exercised mainly by governmental con-
troll Of the telegraph lines in the re-
public makes it most difficult to learn
any news Of the revolution in Mica
ragua except that sen to the press of
this country from the bordering repub-
lies not in sympathy with Zelaya. but
that the fact of the forced levy tells
e~loquently h distress of Zelaya's adj
m~inistration.

Though the convention was compos-
ed of all shades of political opinion,
there was no division of sentiment as
to the magnitude or the imminence OF
the issue with the trusts.
Socially, the meeting of the editors
was made pleasant by the courtesy of
Wilmingtonians who gave them the
keys Of the city while in town and
many Of whom a down to the beach
each day to mingle with the visitors.
On Wednesday and Thursday nights
the Hanover Seaside and Sedgeley Hall
Clubs gave receptions and dances in
honor of the visitors and their elegant
club rooms were at all times at the SER
vice of the journalists.
Captain Harper, Of the Wilmington
and Southport Steamship Line, a man
of unfailing geniality and a "most
pleasant WITT" took those of the WISH
tors who wished to go for a run down
the fine a of the lower Cape
Fear and out to sea.

The twenty-seventh annual meeting
of the North Carolina Press Associa-
ton was held last week at Carolina
Beach, and it was n Of the most in
teresting and largely attend that 1t
has ever been our pleasure to attend.
Less time was devoted to pleasure and
more to business than has been Gus
tomary. And, while this is true, there
were sufficient pleasures enjoyed to
satisfy all.
Most of the editors had arrived at
Wilmington late in the afternoon hot
and dusty, from their long ride on the
railroads., and it was a most refreshing
change to continue their journey on
the steamer Wilmington twelve miles
down the river. Carolina Beach, as
many Of our readers may not know, is
reached by boa from Wilmington
twelve miles down the Cape Fear river,
and then by a railroad two or three
miles across the strip Of land. between
the river and the ocean. This steam
BOAT and railroad line is owned by
Captain John w. Harper, to whom the
editors are chiefly indebted for their
pleasant visit to Carolina Beach.
Because of this refreshing boat ride
down the river Carolina Beach is a IA
vorite resort for the citizens of Will
mington and the excursionists from the
~up-country, who go there by the thou
sands every summer to eat fish, enjoy
a surf bath and the most refreshing sea

belong to the association. And Just
here we wish to say that 1t Is time to
put a seal OF condemnation on the
practice of making such gatherings an
excuse for outsiders to enjoy their
favorite sport. We believe there IS a
very small number of editors in this
state who are a thrip for dancing;
but we give here n reason which we
deem sufficient grounds for our pro-
test and we shall stand by it. We
have, as members Of the association,
ministers of the gospel who do not be-
lieve in dancing, and while they are
innocent, they should be spared the
humiliation of having their names
published in the proceedings along
with the statement that music, dane
ing and refreshments were the order Of
the evening""

durham SUM-

We took a day off last week-in fact,
five days off-and mingled with the
brethren of the press, in the twenty
seventh annual convention, down by
the rolling Deep" at Carolina Beach,
below Wilmington. 1t was one of the
best meetings the association has held
in many years. There was a fellow
ship of kindred minds that was truly
inspiring, in the interchanging of ideas
and discussion of matters hat pertain
to the press-its progress, it's elevation,
and methods Of improvement.
The social features of the meeting
were of a most pleasant and delight
full nature. Wilmington was I'M
stinted in her courtesies, and a warm
welcome was extended every attend
ant at every turn. The accommodations
at Carolina Beach were not what we
e~xpected-the place was crowded to
overlooking. We will long remem-
Der our stay there and the de-
lights Of the surf. Every member Of
the association heartily thanks the
Wilmington chamber of ommerce and
it's obliging president, Mr.. VIM. E.
Worth; the Wilmington Merchants
Association and it's attentive represen-
tative, Mr.. P. H~einsberger; Captain ].
w. Harper, of the steamer Whining
ton; the Sedgeley Hall and Hanover
Seaside clubs, of Carolina Beach; our
brethren Of the Wilmington presses
pecially The Messenger and The Star
both for individual courtesies n ex-
cellent reports of our sessions; the
Wilmington Street Car Company; the
several railroad companies, and the At
lantic Club, Of Wrightsville, for their
kindnesses and attentions. They will
have a warm cofne in every editors
heart.
The Sun desires to note particularly
the unremitting attention of Mr.. P.
Heinsberger, who was indeed n Of us.
He was ever present, on all occasions,
and seemed to anticipate every edi-
tors wish. His cleverness was a con
slant source Of pleasure to every one.
and all of US will long remember his
geniality and kindness of heart. He is
one Of Wilmington's noblemen.
There are a great many things we
desire to speak of but cannot do SO for
want of space, and must do so from
time to time. Wilmington is great in
her possibilities. She has aiken on
new life, and evidences Of progress are
seen on every hand. Handsome new
buildings are taking the place of old
delapidated ones. The people are earn
est and determined in their efforts to
make it a great seaport, in which ef-
fort the press of the state will join.
The half has not bee told OF the ad-
vantages and the opportunities thai are
before her. We hope her brightest
dream will be realized.

Thursday. Leaving Greensboro about

the western portion of the state, we
Were hurried over the clay hills Of
Guilford, Randolph and Chatham and
through the sand hills of Moore, Har-
nett, Cumberland, Sampson n other
counties in northeastern North Caro-
lima. Through the courtesy Of the
Southern and the Atlantic Coast Line
railways an extra coach was provided
for the editors and their wives and the
trip was a most pleasant one. Arriving
in Wilmington on time We were soon
aboard Captain Harper's elegant
steamer Wilmington, ready for the de-
lightful ride down the river to Carolina
Beach, the place chosen for the meet
into better hands than when they COM
united themselves to the care Of Cap
tain Harper. His boat is a paragon Of
beauty, elegance and comfort, and he
is as big hearted, good natured and
princely a skipper as ever trod a deck.
We were landed at the beach in. time
for supper.
Both the Sedgeley Hall and the Han
over Seaside club houses were placed
at the disposal Of the editors during
their stay. These things we appre-
ciate, but we, protest against some OF
the reports that have been written.
We would not for a moment wound
the feelings of any who tried to add to
the pleasure of the editors, but candor
and honesty compels us to say that If
the german which is reported to have
been given in honor of the association
was really so intended, then the in
tentions were defeated. In the first

Trieste, July pa correspondent Of
The Associated Press today visited
Admiral Dewey on board his flagship
Olympia and was cordially received,
being requested to convey the admiral's
thanks to the Associated Press. Adj
miral Dewey said that although he had
received many invitations from Amer
leans sojourning at Carlsbad, he had
never intended going there.
Look at me-" said the admiral.
do I look like a sick man? Do I
look as If 1 required Carlsbad treat
ment. I feel quite young in health and
spirits, and from my humor you will
notice that what / tell you is quite cor
rect. I came to Trieste solely to re-
cruit the health of my crew, they hav-
ing passed seventeen months in tropics
without a break.
my reception by the Austrian Of
icials was most friendly and accord
ing to the usual etiquette. All reports
of the emperor's declining me a recep-
ton are unfounded.
Il expect to remain in Trieste about
a week longer, and shall then proceed,
I probably to Naples. Further details
and plans nave not been decided upon,
but the cruiser will remain during the
whole of August at Mediterranean
| ports. The last port touched in Eu-
rope will be Gibraltar, where we will
! only take on coal and stores. We are
expected in New York by October LIST.
I have accepted invitations to recep-
tons by the citizens of New York and
Washington and am already in posses
sion Of a photograph of the sword Of
honor voted me by the American con-
gress."
Admiral Dewey absolutely refused to
talk upon political subjects and when
asked what he thought regarding Eng
land, replied: az have not thought
anything yet"
The admiral this afternoon made an
other excursion to the Chateau of Mi
ramar.

held. Mr.. Bell, of The Wilmington
Messenger, and Mr.. P. H~einsberger, of

London, July 24.-In the house of
commons today Mr.. Michael Davitt,
member for South Mayo, asked the
government, if in view Of the fact that
the conduct of Mrs. Maybrick, in pris-
on had been uniformly good, the home
office would not recommend royal Glenn
ency in her case. Sir Matthew White
Ridley, the home secretary, said that
he was unable to hold out hope Of ex-
ceptional treatment of Mrs. Maybrick.
The home secretary added that he was
not aware Of the existence Of any rea-
son for royal clemency.
