In the meantime news of the more se- rious crime reached the city and the cir cumstances surrounding 1t, pointed to the negro Thompson as the perpetartor. Ac- cording to the information from the neigh borhood where the crime was committed, after stealing the horse from Mir Thomp- sons stable the negro rode up the public highway only a short distance and con- cealed himself by the roadside and as Mrs Maggie Williams, a highly respectable white woman, passed that way, he sprans upon her like beast of prey. Summoning all her strength the plucky woman fought the brute off and before he could fasten his black fingers around her throat she screamed at the top of her voice for help Fearing tn | some one had heard her cries the black brute loosened his hold upon her and springing upon the stolen horse rode off into the darkness.
 Mrs. Williams, well-night exhausted from her terrible experience reached her home and reported the occurrence, which when 1t became generally known created intense excitement, and since the crime has been laid at the door of the negro Thompson there is bold talk of lynching.

DIPLOMATIC PHASE
 UNDER DISCUSSION
Special Meeting of the Cabinet Yesterday Was the
 Longest Session Held in Years.

spector-General Cummns Committee on Legislation of Veterans in Public Service and of the Committee on Pensions and Legislation.
 Pensions Discussed
 When the convention met in the afternoon the first thing taken up was the report of the pension committee. It was generally thought there would be some warm state ments, but there were none. There was not in the report a specific declaration or rec ommendation upon any subject. The com mittee at the outset went into the history ot the work done by the G. A R. commit tees in obtaining from the last Congress increases in certain classes of pensions. It then discussed the differences of opin- ion existing betwten the pension office and those members of the Grand Army who hold the opinion that the old soldiers have not received sufficient consideration. The report argued alt length against the state ments that have been made by the pension office in reply to the original criticisms made by members of the Grand Army, but offered no suggestions as to direct line of policy to be pursued.
 The report was ordered printed and will De the special order of business tomorrow morning at a. m., to which hour the con- yention adjourned.
 Alter the pension committee had present. ed its report, silver services were presented to AdJutant General Stewart and Past Com mander Johnson as a token of esteem, in which they are held by their comrades.
 The committee which had taken the an- nual message of Commander-in-Chle Shaw under consideration reported approval of all his suggestions, with the exception of that relating to the change of the date of memorial day, from May 30 to the last Sun day in May. On this the committee reported adversely, and their report was adopted by the convention.
 An adjournment was then taken until to- morrow morning.

Had the Wrong Negro

Moons Landing, Miss, August 29.-Char- ley Wilson, negro from Greenville Mss, came within an inch of paying with his life for the murder of Tom Pike, a levee contractor. He was caught by a band of men who were searching for Dick Johnson, the murderer, near Moons Landing, and his resemblance to Johnson was so close that rope had been swung over the limb of a tree the moose was around his neck ten determined men had hold of the rope preparatory to swinging the negro into eternity, when the discovery was made that this man had scar on his face which was absent from the face of the murderer The hands of the lynchers were stayed, and further investigation showed that he was an innocent man.

SULLIVAN GIVEN A
 HOUSING BENEFIT The Sum Realized Will be Very Large-Fitzsimmons Giv-

New York, Aug. 29.-John l.. Sullivan was given a rousing benefit at the Twentieth Century Club in Madison Square Garden tonight. The sum realized from the sale of tickets and subscriptions will be large one. It will be held in trust by a commit tee who will invest the money and pay the interest to Sullivan.
 Bob Fftzsimmons met with an enthusias- tic reception when he took seat in a box at the ringsfde Jeffries came in a little later, but there was only a mild demonstra- tion as he made his way to the dressing room. number of lesser lights also ap- peared.
 Bob Fitzsimmons brought down the house when he got into the ring to spar with Jeff Thorne of England. Bob was greeted with tumultous cheers, which were repeated over and over. Bob wore the pink knitted tights and belt of small American flags which he had on when he whipped Ruhlin and Sharkey. There were cries for speech, but Bob simply shook his head and began sparrinS. For two rounds they went at a nice pace, but in the third round they be- gan to bank each other In burlesque. They knocked each other down frequently to the intense amusement of the spectators At the close of the round both fell to the floor. Referee White counted both out and then they got up and shook hands.
 John l.. Sullivan and James J. Jeffries came on for the windup. Sullivan thanked everybody for their kindness to him. Jeff fries did not respond when called on to say a few words, but through Announcer Joe Humphreys he said that he would at all times be ready to defend his title of cham pion whenever called upon.

WAS STRICTLY A DAY OF BUSINESS C. A. R. Convention Gets Down
 to Work THE DELEGATES KEPT BUSY Welcomed to Chicago by Mayor Harris on-Consideration of Pension Com
 mittee's Report Consumed
 the Afternoon Session.
THE DELEGATES KEPT BUSY

Chicago, August 29.-This was, for the G. A. R. as an organization, strictly a day of business. For those members who were not burdened with the responsibilities at- tending the position of @ delegate to the convention of the Grand Army it was a day for anything and everything but busi- ness. From morning until night the con- vention labored at its work in Studebaker Hall, listening to numerous reports from officers and committees, while the vast majority of the old soldiers went to the parks or took boat rides upon the lake, and those who had not seen blood enough in their younger days accepted an invita- tion from the packers to visit the stock yards, where they beheld more slaughter than had taken place at the bloody angle" at Spottsylvania and in the bloody lane" at Antietum combined.
 The Convention opered at 10:30 o'clock The opening seccion was entirely of so- cial character, and was open to the public. The afternoon meeting was of an execu- tive character.
 General Shaw announced that the meet ing would be opened with prayer by Chap lain Granin. The audience arose and re- mained standing during the prayer.
 Welcome Address
 Mayor Harrison then came to the front of the rostrum to formally welcome the soldiers to Chicago. His address was hap oily received.
 Commander-in-Chief Shaw, of the Grand Army of the Republic, replied to Mayor Harrison for the members of his organiza- tion, expressing the thanks of the army for the hospitality shown them.
 As General Shaw resumed his seat J. M. LongaeckeF Commander of Department of Illinois, rose in behalf of the soldiers of Illinois. He made happy little speech, which evoked much applause
 General Louis Wagoner, who responded for the members of the army, was no less felicitous in his reply, expressing the gratitude of his comrades to the men of Illinois.
 This closed the meeting of the morning as after the conclusion of General Wag- onef's s address, he, Commander-General Longnecker, Mayor Harrison and General Shaw. held an informal reception lasting half an hour.
 Afternoon Session
 The convention reassembled at o'clock in the afternoon. and this time there were no preliminaries. The action was opened at once by General Shaw, who read his annual report.
 Following the address of General Shaw came long list of reports submitted by the minor officials and the various oop- mittees of the organization. The reports read were those of the Executive Commit tee, Council of Administration, Adjutant General Stewart, Quartermaster General Atkinson, Surgeon General Baker, Chap lAin-in- Chief Grimm, Judge Advocate-Gen- eral Torrance, Senior Vice Commander-in- Chief Robbins, Junior Vice Commander-in- Chief Minton, Custodian Holcomb, In-

KID M'C0Y MEETS
 CORBETT TONIGHT
Both Men Are in Excellent Con- dition, and Bout Promises
 to Be Lively.

New York, August 29-After intellectual attempts by different match-makers for the past two years to match James J. Corbett and Charles (Kid) Mccoy, Man ager Kennedy of the Twentieth Century Club has matched them for tomrrow night at Madison Square Garden. Corbett weighs ten pounds more than ever before. Mccoy left Saratoga for this city tonight.
 Corbett has been conditioning himself at Bath Beach. He put a few finishing touches to his training today with a little light sparring and bag punching. He will devote tomorrow to rest and will leave for the scene of battle tomorrow afternoon. The betting on the event does not appear to be at all lively. On the contrary, the admirers of the pugilists are holding off for slight advantage in the way of odds. few wagers have been placed, and the leading judges are about evenly divided re- garding the chances of these scientific pu- gilists. Many Mccoy men want odds and the betting may be 10 to at the ring side. At present it is even money.
 The friends of Mccoy say that he Is not out of his class in facing Corbett. They assert that he has grown and thickened much in the last two years, and training in the bracing air of Saratoga has helped to put lot of solid muscle on him, so that he weighs fully TO pounds. The only question is whether he has built himself In good, useful muscle One expert who saw him today said:
 Mccoy is a legitimate heavy weight and, although he is still 10 or 12 pounds lighter than Corbett, that advantage in weight will help Corbett every time the two come into collision at short range. In the clinches Corbett will be able to throw twelve pounds more on McCoy's shoulders than Mccoy can throw on him. That sort of thing counts for good deal in long fight.
 "In height Corbett has an inch the bet ter ef it, while as to reach the two are about evenly matched. Then again Mo Coy hits the hardest blow. but Corbett hits oftener and Corbett in spite of his much greater size is exceedingly fastaIf he fights up to his usual form, he will keep out of harms way and try to fab and hurt Mccoy until he has him,r

Democrats Control Fusion Ticket in
 Washington

Seattle, Wash, August 29.-Harmony was evident everywhere around the three con- ventions today. The two-thirds rule was unanimously agreed upon. The Populists have surrendered, and the State fusion ticket this fall will be known as the Demo- cratic ticket. The Rogers men were much more confident today. They have a major ity in the convention, but the chances are against securing two-thirds. At confer ence the combined delegates decided to stand out for Rogers to the end. Land Commissioner Robert Bridges was chosen chairman of the joint convention.

Startling Statement.

Not long ago a man named Baragar
murdered . girl in Denver. The brute
shot her down in cold blood on the
street. She was young girl and he
was middle aged man. The girl had
refused to marry him and her innocent
life paid the penalty. Tho murderer
has been condemned to imprisonment
for life in the state prison. Whom the
jury rendered the verdict finding him
guilty Of murder in the first degree the
twelve men appended this statement to
it: "And we wish, unanimously, to ex-
press our regret at our inability to hang
the prisoner.
IL it any wonder that such a startling
statement should be made in the face OF
all that has happened in Colorado since
this foolish anti capital punishment law
was put in operation. There are now
several men in the Colorado ipeniten-
tiary who ought to have been hanged for
the crimes they committed, and there
are several graves within the limits OF
the state filed with the remains Of men
who were lynched by their fellow men
because there is no law to mete out the
punishment they deserve. II the next
legislature will repeal this anti capital
punishment law it will be assured Of the
approval OF the vast majority.-Salida
