4 LEPBR ARRIVES.


Among the passengers landed yesterday
from the British steamship Button was
Archibald AIauderville, twenty-one years
of age, of Bridgetown, Barbados. He
had well-developed case of leprosy,
which was readily detected by the medi-
cal inspectors at the Barge office, and ne
was sent. back to the steamship 10 be
returned to his home.
An avl fate has followed Robert john
ston, of this city, once prominent dry
goods merchant on Broadway. A few
years ago he had an estate valued at two
million dollars, but he changed his bust
ness and financial reverses were followed
by illness. OF late he has been living. by
courtesy, in a house upon which Il trust
company held mortgage. Yesterday tho
house was destroyed by fire, and although
the mansion and its contents were III
sured, Mr.. Johnston will not get a cent.
lie was sick at the time Of the fire, and
barely escaped with his life.

THE TUNNEL TO BROOKLYN.

NEW YORK, Feb. o7.-Speciai-Dr.
Parkhurst will retire from public life
that is to say, he will retire from poll
tics, SO he says, and devote his energies
hereafter almost exclusively to the paste
raj work Of the Madison-Avenue PfesoS-#
teriar church, over which he pros!des.
The church is about to build one of the
finest mission houses in the country, at
the northwest corner Third avenue anu
Thirtieth street. DR.. Parkhurst will not
retire at once from the presidency OF the
Society for the Prevention of Crime
II will still remain at the head OF the
society," DR.. Parkhurst said, yesterday.
The only difference will be that instead
OF devoting a great deal OF time 10 the
manifold details of the societys work, as
l did formerly, that task Will be let
hereafter to others.
Indeed, it has been left to others, for
the most part, SINCE my serious illness.
The society is now admirably Organizes.
It's work will go right along, and there
will be no abatement Of its energies II
IS the wish of the organization that my
name shall stu remain as its leader, anu

HARRY MINERS WILL.
There is much speculation in certain
circles as to the terms of the will Of the
late Harry C.. Miner. Mr.. Miner exc
cuted several wills at different times, and
nobody seems to know how he has dis
posed of his property. The fortune is es-
tirnated at two millions. After Mr. Miner
married Miss Annie O!Neill, well-known
actress, about four years ago, he became
very bitter towards his sons. He said
that the Young men had not only opposed
his marriage, but had persistentiy Sighted
their stepmother, refusing TO recognize
her or to show her any polite attentions.
1t is for this reason that his friends are
interested to know how he has disposed
Of his wealth.

A CRUEL STORY.

An attempt is now being made 20 have
it appear that the tragedy at the Hotel
EndIcott, mentioned in this correspon-
dencc yesterday, was double suicide"
The theory is advanced that Mrs. Hayes
and DR.. Caldwell agreed to die together.
That she lay down on the bed and per-
mitted Caldwell to shoot her under an
agreement that he was afterwards to take
his own life. DIR. Hayes is terribly
shocked that such a Story should have
gone abroad In speaking of the matter
he said:
rs it not enough that she has been
murdered; he cried without making
this cruel attack upon her memory? My
wife was true woman. Her memory
is doubly dear to me because Of me man
ner of her death. Am 1 to permit her to
be traduced in this manner? She had no
wish to die. She was murdered, and now
an attempt is being made to murder her
memory. 1t IS shameless! 1t is more
wicked than the crime of DR.. CALDWELL

Devils Lake inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, Ramsey Co., Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1905, 1900-09-14

After a large percentage of the
delegates had become weary and
left the hall, new interest was
awakened by the announcement
that two members of the legisla-
ture and state senator would be
placed in nomination. Martin
Peterson, Robert Wilmot, r. F.
Tanning and w. w. Flynn, were
announced as candidates, Mr.. Fan
ming, however, withdrawing his
name before the ballot was taken.
Peterson, 19, Wilmot, 26, Flynn, 8
and Crelly, l, making Peterson and
Wilmot the nominees of the con-
vention. 1t had been generally
conceded that the senatorial honors
would be bestowed upon n. M.
Creel. But they weren't. Who
started the revolt will ever remain
mystery, but when someone tim
idly suggested the name of the col
onel for the Office, the convention
became scene of wild confusion.
Cries of mo- mo- groans, and
a general demonstration of disap-
proval ensued. On the first and
only ballot taken, Geo. A. Vannier
received the nomination by the
following vote: Vannier, A; Creel,
II. This overwhelming sentiment
against Creel will cause him to
seek elsewhere, and it is rumored
that he will run as an independent
candidate. The complete ticket
heads this article.

adopted at Kansas City, and give
unwavering support to the plat
form adopted by the independent
Democrats of the state at Grand
Forks on July 10Th, and to the

We condemn the boss rule that

such legislation as will result in
primary reform.
We believe in honesty and econ
omy in the transaction Of all pub
lie business, and we condemn the
appropriation of public money to
further private enterprises for the
benefit Of political favorites.
We char9a the Republican coun-

travagance in the administration
of county affairs, and with laxity
partiality in the enforcement OF
the prohibitory statutes.
We pledge ourselves and the
candidates we place in nomination,

ment of all laws, and to an honest
and economical administration of
public funds. n. n. BEDELL,
