LoMAck IN oTTUMWA.
Colored Man Wounded in Des Mones
Lived in This City.


lFrcm Tuesdays DailyI
Rev. f. Lomack, the colored preach
er, who was shot and fatally wounded
on the streets of Des Moines last ev-
ening, as told in the telegraph col
umns of the Courier, formerly resided
in this city where he was pastor of a
colored church on Jefferson street
known as Lomack's Tabernacle. The
building was constructed at cost of
$4,000 and according to attorneys who
were interested in the subsequent fore
closure proceedings, was built Drinci-
pally on wind. Liens for labor and
material We're filed thick and fast
against the church property and after
time these were foreclosed The
property was bid in by George God
frey and he now owns it.
Rev Lomack was a shrewd negro
but according to persons in this city
who knew him, had too many irons in
the fire. They say he was favorite
with the colored women and this led
to jealousy between the preacher and
is wife. The latter secured a divorce
in the district court in this county, it
is alleged, or statuatory charge.
Soon after this Rev. Lomack disap-
peared finally showing up in Des
Moines. According to the Des Moines
story he has been in that city about
ten years but an attorney who had
business dealing with Rev Lomack
says it has been no more than seven
years.
According to the Des Moines end of
the story of the shooting Rev. Lomack
was engaged in the double vocation OF
preaching and conducting a restaur-
ant. The woman, Mrs. Tyler, VINO is
the innocent cause of the shooting,
had worked in this establishment for
about two weeks. 1t caters exclusive
ly to the colored trade and incident
ally furnishes Rev. Lomack with Il
chance to do some missionary work.
Mrs. Tyler supported herself and her
smaller children with the aid of the
Oldest son. Mckinney paid some room
rent. She worked out at any sort of
house work until she got the posluon
of cook at the Lomack restaurant.
Mrs. Tyler is about 30 years of age
and very comely. She lived just
above Lomack's house on Fifth street
and it was convenient for him to es-
cort her home

Was Murder.

Lansford, Pa, Aug. 19.-The train
bearing General Goblin and staff and
the first battalion Of the Twelfth regi-
ment under Major Gearhart from Shen-
andoah arrived here shortly before
day break this morning. Contrary to
expectations no attempt was made by
the strikers to march to Nesquehoning
and there was no demonstration Of
any kind either here or at Nesquehon-
ing. The killing Of Sharp last evening

Nesquehoning, Pa, Aug. 19.-While

Shot From Ambush.
Scranton, Pa, Aug. 19.-Michael
Connolly and Forest Crossman, said
to be non-union worknen employed
about the Edgerton ,colliery, were shot
from ambush today presumably by
strikers. Crossman was so badly in
jured that it was necessary to ampu-
tate his right foot. Connellys condi-
ton is regarded as serious.
The men were working on water
course near the breakers when bull
let whizzled close to Cheeseman's head.
Connolly says he thought the shot was
fired by mine guards and shouted a
warning. Two more shots followed,
one bullet lodging in Cheeseman's leg
and charge of shot shattering Con-
nelly shoulder. Some Of the shot hit
him in the face.

First Expression Since Iowa Plat
form Was Adopted.
WILL EXCITE The KEENESI INTEREST
Says That When Congress Finds 1t to
Be Necessary and Friends of Protec-
ton Strong Enough to Check Wild
Tendencies, He Favors Revision.

Morrisville, VT, Aug. 19.-Leslie Nj.
Shaw OF Iowa, secretary of the treas.
ury, is in favor of a conservative re-
adjustment of the tariff. He said this
today in an address delivered here,
where he attended school as a boy.
Mr.. Shaw modified his statement by
saying that he is in favor of a read
justment of the tariff when congress
decides that it is necessary and when
the friends of protection are strong
enough to successfully resist the eff
fects OF the opposition when a read
juatment takes place. This is Mr..
Shaws first public utteranee on the
tariff since the adoption of the famous
shelter plank" in the Iowa platform
and will excite the keenest interest
in his home state and throughout the
Counlry. ~
