LANCASTER MAss.MEETlNG.
A Harmonious Neett e for Lancas-
ter. Delegates TO Constitutional
Convention Chosen In Open Mass.

L
Convention Chosen In Open Mass
Meeting.
Pursuant to call of County Chairman
VIM. b. Sanders, more than four hun
dred Lancaster voters assembled at the
Courthouse on Monday, despite the
Indictment and wintry weather, and trans
acted their business with dispatch moi
seen in Lancaster for sometime. Both
factions appeared willing to compromise
and but few harsh words were INDUCED
In.
The meeting was called TO order at 1
O'Clock by W. b. Sanders. DR.. II. b.
Treakle was chosen permanent chair
man and Jno. L. Hughlett and Fred l..
Wagner secretaries.
Motion was then made by w. Nc.
Donald Lee that the delegates to the
Wheaton convention to nominate a
candidate to the Constitutional Conyen-
ton for the counties of Lancaster aud
Richmond be elected in open mass meet
Ing. DR.. F. w. Lewis offered amend
ment that districts retire and elect their
own delegates. The amendment was
lost. At this stage Of the meeting w. b.
Sanders offered resolution that the
candidates about to be elected be in
structed to use all honorable means for
the selection of Hon. Juo. q. Eweli to
represent the counties aforenamed in the
Constitutional Convention. No sooner
bad Mr.. Sanders taken his seat before
w. L. Marsh, Jno. Curlett and T. A.
Pinckard made speeches favorable to
Rev.W. f. Dunawsy, ID. D., and moved to
substitute his name for that of Judge
Ewell. Owing to the large crowd in the
courthouse 1t was impossible to secure
an accurate viva voce vote, and IL was
decided that two tellers be stationed at
each Of the two doors and the voters be
counted for Dunsway or Ewell as the
crowd passed out. Upon returning the
tellers stated that as result OF the count
ing Rev. w. T. Dunaway was q choice
OF the meeting, the vote being lS9 for
Dunaway against 1853 for Ewell.
The following delegates were then
chosen:
WHITE STONE DISTRICT: Geo. p.
Squires, VIM. b. Sanders, ]. r. Gresham,
DR.. b. III. B. Hubbard, T. A. Treakle,
j. w. Hayden, W. T. Barnett, f. G.

WHITE CHAPEL DISTRICT: l.. d.

ton, ID. Z. Doggett and G. s. Towles.
Each delegate was empowered to
select his own alternate.
Just before the meeting closed a mo-
tion was made and carried that should
Rev. w. r. Dunswsy refuse TO allow
his name to go before the Wheaton con-
vention that the Lancaster delegates
vote their entire strength for Judge Jno.
@. Ewell.
Upon motion the mass-meeting ad-
journed In favor OF the District meetings.

persons from Richard Hearn. a wealthy re-
tired farmer. of this city for the safety OF
himself and only daughter Maude, aged
thirteen years. A week ago Hearn received
a letter in which the writer demanded that
the money be placed I'm a tin can at the

Hearn treated ii as a Joke. but a SECOND
missive stated that failure 10 comply with
II would result in the girls abduction ana
his own death. When both letters failed 10
bring the money third letter was sent
which so alarmed the father that to-day he
revealed the affair TO the police. The last
letter said that this was Hearns final op-
portunity, for he and the girl would both
be captured and the former would witness
the horrifying spectacle Of his daughter.
with her eyes burned ont and heart cut
from her body Then he would also be
killed.

daughter is not allowed 10 leave his side
and while the police are trying 10 capture
the would-be kidnaper the residence will be-
closely guarded. Several persons are sus-
pected by the police
