The general sentiment among the DEL
egates, however seems to be in favor Of
continuing to have the headquarters at
Cedar Rapids. Cincinnati is after the
next convention and is liable to get u,
and for this reason 1t is thought that
Cleveland will not be entitled TO anything
because both cities are in the same state.
The delegates would not be in favor OF
giving the headquarters and the conven-
ton to Ohio. Pittsburg is also after the
convention, but it is making a stu hunt
and 1t got into the field late.

The visitors spent some time inspecting
the beauty Of the place and seeing the
two companies stationed there drill. AZ
ter having seen the tort, the Soldiers
Home was visited, and the greetings be-
tween the veterans and the conductors
were most cordial. At about 80 cars

when they were built and by whom The

NAY CORN AT % CENTS
MIR. PHILLIPS LITTLE CORNER is
DOING NICELY.

CHICAGO, May 15.AMay corn which
has been cornered on the board Of trade
and which has been rather inactive for a
few days past, advanced to a new high
price record today, when it sold to 60
cents per bushel. This is the highest
price since the corner of May, 1892.
Phillips, who formed the corner, bid
the market UP, but secured only few
small lots. 1t was rumored on change
that he had permitted shorts to settle
for 100000 bushels, privately ct &C cents.
A net gain OF cents was registered at

ILLNESS IS CRITICAL.

Ever since Mrs. Mckinley arrived at
the Scott residence she has been des-
perately Ill. Her extreme weakness has
been the most alarming feature of her
condition. Her vitality has been at low
ebb and She has seldom spoken to those
about her. The president has been con-
tinually, at her bedside save few hours
Monday afternoon, when he left her to
go to San Jose and the three hours he
spent yesterday in the parade Fortu-
nately Mrs. Mckinley slept through his
absence on both these occasions. The
strain which the president himself has
undergone during the past few days has
been very great. 1t has been personal
sacrifice for him to carry out his en-
gagements here 1t is still his desire to
carry out the prearranged programme in
San Francisco to whatever extent he
can. This morning he thought he would
be able to be present at the unveiling
of the Donahue statue, and so informed
the committee, but at the last moment
when his escort had already drawn UP
before the Scott residence, Mrs McEin-
ley condition was such that he decided
not to leave. And all day, except for
q brief half hour this afternoon, when
he yielded to the entreaties Of those abolt
him, and went out for drive, he has
remained steadfastly aG her side. The
members of the cabinet reluctantly con-
sented to carry out todays programme

Mcclellan is, therefore. absurd.

The last point to cover after the
neighbors had been seen for miles
around was to proceed to Jamlson
City, wh here Thomas McHenry operat-
ed sawmill, and where he spent six
days out of every week. / found that
Thomas was well thought of; he had
no trouble here, and found no possible
reason for any man to have killed him,
with the exception that it was some
one detected in the act of robbing his
barn.
Rumors l found in plenty, but when
traced to the original source the per-
sons questioned denied all knowledge
of the statements For instance, a
person in Jamison City had heard a
person in Bloomsburg say he knew
who killed Thomas McHenry, and
that an arrest would be made in few
days. When | finally located the
person who, it was stated was author
ity for the remark, he denied all know
ledge of it. All opinions are of SEN
sational order.
When the murderer is apprehended,
and this may be by mere chance, l
am convinced that it will be proven
that robbery was alone intended, and
that murder was committed as a re-
suit OF fear OF detection"
We have learned from an authentic
source that this report is in error In
some of the details. Mcclellan and
Rose did not have $1,000 each in
vested in the farm. They hold notes
against their father, Samuel McHenry,
for money loaned him at different
times, but these notes have never
been entered up as liens. The state
ment that Thomas and Mcclellan
had not been very friendly since the
notice 10 quit was served, is not &C
curate, as they had not met since that
time, Clell being employed at Halle
ton.
1t is also incorrect in the statement
that the barn ard vicinity had not
been examined until after II o'clock
a. m. A party of men were there
with lanterns before S a. m.
There have been some insinuations
that the McHenry family know who
did this deed, and McClellans name
has been connected with it. The
/. only foundation for this is the fact
that there was some feeling over
: money matters, but there could not
possibly have been any motive foi
them to put Tommy out of the way.
He was not operating the farm
| properly, and they had notified him to
quit, so that it was not necessary to
S kill him to get him off the farm
Tommy owed his father money, and
| mad also procured the old gentleman's
: endorsement to the extent of severa
, hundred dollars, and it was these
, things which the family wanted him tc
settle up, so that their father woult
be relieved from liability. Certainly
, Tommy's death was not desirable tc
, them. They would naturally want
him to live until ne could pay the
: debts for which his father was bail.
