she escaped over a rear wall by means of
a ladder. Rev. Jonathan Lee and Mrs.
Lee and Corporal j. Kennedy and Private
Scott, who are among the Empress's pas
sengers, were present at the siege of Tien-
Tsin. Mr. Lee received a wound during
the fighting.
Stories of atrocities of shocking horror
are related by Kennedy and Scott. Among
them is a tale of the slaughter of 200 help
less coolies, who were going up the Pei
Ho on lighter, under an engagement to
do transporting for British parties. An

Was n Great Success.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
HAGERSTOWN, Ind, Aug. S-The an
nual meeting of the old settlers of Wayne,
Henry and Randolph counties was held yes
terday at Osborn's lake, near Economy.
The usual large crowd attended, and the
usual programme was varied but little.
This annual meeting has become an institu-
ton. and scores of persons whose homes
were formerly in this part of the State
make ii the occasion of returning to greet
old-time friends. Elisha Brown, aged nine
ty-three was the Oldest man present. He
has lived in this township since he was ten
years old, and has been closely identified
with many of the movements to develop
the county. Aaron Locke aged eighty-fve
Thomas Marshall, ninety, and many others
whose ages are greater than three score
and ten were present and addressed the
visitors
While the meeting is in no sense political,
yet the trend of all of the addresses was
toward political subjects and events that
occurred in the early history of the county.
This is explained by the chairman, Charles
Osborn, as being quite natural, from the
fact that the first Abolition society In In
who attended and assisted TO organize the
first society of the kind in the United
States. which society sprung into being in
Jefferson county, Tennessee. The descend
ants of those men are now the old settlers
who speak at the meetings now being held.

WACO, Tex, Aug. s.-The feature of the
Democratic state convention, which assem-
bled here to-day, was wordy war among
leaders of the party. lively sensation
was developed at late hour last night in
the form of a lengthy interview with Coun-
ty Attorney Cullen F. Thomas, of McLen-
men county, in regard to the Waters Pierce
Oil Company controversy. Thomas con-
Quoted the prosecution against the COM
pany for violating the antitrust law. Mr..
Thomas's charges were sensational. he hav-
ing declared that two congressman and
some state officials had made overtures to
him for a settlement of the proceedings
both civil and criminal against the COM
pany.
While the convention was waiting for
committee reports this afternoon j. w.
Bailey made q very emphatic address, de-
nying the accusations of his connection
with the Waters-Pierce Oil Companys af-
fairs, and denounced his accuSers in the
severest terms. He upheld the issuance of
charter TO the company, saying that it
was just and right. His explanation was
well received and he seemed to have the
majority of the delegates with him.
Ex-Governor Hogg responded to repeated
calls and severely arraigned members OF
the state administration for the issuance
of a charter to the Waters-Pierce Oil Com
pany after the company had been con-
victed of violation of the antitrust law.
Ex-Attorney General Crane also criticised
the administration along the same lines
The entire afternoon session was consumed

treasurer of the national committee of the

date of the Peoples party:
1.-The withdrawal of Mr.. Towne. without
cur partys consent is both humiliating
and embarrassing. To my mind il is DO
ltical blunder. Had he remained our vice
presidential candidate he would have at
tracted audiences second only to Bryan
himself, and would have held in line the
Populst vote. as we'll as the Silver Repub-
lcans throughout the country. Instead of
simplifying. his withdrawal will complicate
matters and give comfort 10 our opponents

early late, and. 1 believe, will place a Pop
