SECRET OF HIS BIRTH
DROVE MAN TO MURDER

NEW YORK, July lS.-Henry f. King.
90 years OF age, entered the office of the
New York founding asylum yesterday
afternoon and shot two Sisters of Charity.
He then ran into the grounds of the insti-
tuition and shot himself in the left breast,
making only flesh wound. King was
taken to q police court, where he was
committed without bail for examination
Saturday. The injured sisters are:
Sister Angelo, 45 years of age, shot in
the right arm, and Sister Cecilia, 3O'years
old, shot in the left arm and SIDE Neither
was fatally hurt. ft.s,
King, who, has been a frequent visitor
to the founding asylum, is believed to
be demented. He suffered for some time
from melancholia, according to the po-
lice. and on May 7th was arrested in the
yards of the institution after he had at
tempted to commit suicide by taking car
bolic acid.
When he was arraigned King said he
had begged the authorities of the found
ling asylum to give him information about
his birth, but that they had refused to do
so. This so angered him, he said. that he
did not. know what he was doing.
King came to this city in 1898 from
Baltimore, and commenced a search for
the identity Of his parents. In June, 1900,
he obtained an order in the supreme court
directing the authorities. of the New York
IoundlnB asylum 10 SNOW cause why Iney
should not allow him TO examine the books
Of the institution. He asserted that he had
been placed in the institution in 1871. when
q baby, and in 1873 was farmed out to
Thomas r. Gardiner, of Bryantown, Nd,
with whose family he remained until 1894,
when no went to Baltimore. He claimed
the books of the asylum would disclose
the identity OF his parents.
The application for the writ was argued
before Justice OGorman, when Jane G.
McCrysal, the treasurer of the asylum
since 1885, stated the record of the books
was
Henry. ]. King, day old: no name left
with child. October Is. 1871. $50 o'clock
p. m"
Justice OGorman denied Kings appli-
cation to see the books of the asylum.

ERWIN TRIED
TO SETTLE
MAKES AFFIDAVIT IN COURT
THAT GEORGIA ATTORNEY
OFFERED TO SETTLE CASE
FOR 100000 IN CASH.

QUEBEC, July 19.-Yesterday's proceed
ings in the Gaynor-Greene case consisted
principally in the fling OF affldavits and
contra affidavits and II was only a short
time before the adjournment Of the court
that Mr.. McMaster for the prosecution
commenced his argument on his motion
10 quash the habeas corpus writs issued
by Judge Caron on June 10Th and Hst last
The proceedings were opened by Mr.
Taschereau. counsel for the prisoners, who
produced afIidavits of BENJAMIN Greene tC
the effect that on May 18th. Mr.. Erwin
called on him at the Windsor hotel. Mon.
treal, when Erwin said TO Greene:
IF you viii pay 10000 to settle the
whole matter, I viii go at once to Wash
ington and advise its acceptance"
Greene replied that he could not stand
that because he had not the money with
which to pay hts half of the amount, but
that Erwin said:
"Gaynor has enough, 1 don't know
where II Is. but he has it.
To this Greene said:
IF you will say 100000 I will talk with
Colonel Gaynor about it."
Erwin replied the affidavit continues:
That will not be enough"
Greene then added:
What do you think Of $SOOoOO7"
He said:
II don't think that is enough, but you
don't want to go through the rest of your
life hunted wherever you go, and you must
remember that If you are extradited and
are in Georgia IL win be too late to make
a settlement"
Greene finally replied:
We'll, anyway, / don't see how we can
pay any money. because that would be
an admission on our part that we have
received money wrongfully%-that we have
not done"
Greene swore that this talk Of settle
ment OF $4,000 referred TO the criminal
proceedings against them and not to any
civil claim. This affidavit was supported
by another from Mr.. ]. F. Gaynor.

IF you can call me at any time today
you viii do me a great favor"
In response to that request he went to
Greene's room and the latter opened the
conversation by saying that while he knew
that Erwin had been prosecuting him
vigorously for over two years, he wanted
10 thank him for having always treated
him With personal consideration. He then
said. II the extradition proceedings al

WARD CALLED
A LIAR BY
MAYOR
ROW IN NORTH CAROLINA DEM
oCRATlC CONVENTION OVER
DEAD ISSUES CLEVELAND
AND FREE SILVER.

CHARLOTTE, NC, July ia big
sensation was sprung in the Democratic
state convention at Greensboro at
o'clock this morning. when the mayor OF
Salisbury A. H. BQydon, called former
State Senator Ward a Thar, when the
latter, from the platform, said Cleveland
| was an arch traitor.
Ex-senator II. S. Ward, In a discussion
of the MINORITY report on the proposed
platform. denounced Grover Cleveland as
IAN arch traitor to Democracy"
In a second Mr.. Boyden, who was in the
rear of the hall, rose to his feet and
cursed Ward for insulting the gentlemen
who were present. rs
An immense cry rose up from the as
semblage and repeated yells of derision
greeted Wards efforts to continue his
speech. t'r ~
The ex-senator grew white In the face
and tried to scream above the clamor,
but his voice was not heard distinctly.
For FIVE minutes or more even after the
large clamor In the hall had been modula-
ted, Boyden stlll stood up and denounced
Ward in the most bitter and caustic Ian
guage. It- ~ r'
Ward had made w. j. Bryan speech,
opposing the minority report Of the plat
form committee which recommended that
I'VE reafirm our allegiance to the Demo-
cratic party he substituted for, I'VE re-
the party" meaning the Kansas City
ono More Free silver"
The reading Of the minority report was
greeted by shouts Of approval, c. M. Bus
bee shouting:
1--WE will have no more free silver in our
campaign ~" ~.
State Senator Ward of the committee,
made red hot Bryan speech, arraigning
nj lnI a Nv
IN the audience. He continued amid much
confusion and turmoil until he could not
be heard.
He was followed by C.. M. Busbee, of
Raleigh, who pleaded for the adoption of
the substitute, so that no element In the
Democratic party would have cause OF
offensive, contending that 1t had no place
in a state platform.
Stevens. of Union, replied, stoutly as
sorting that the adoption of the substi-
tute would be an insult to the faithful
Democrats all over the county.
He poured hot shot into men who ride
free on railroads and live in hotel Hobbies,
declaring they did not represent the De-
mocracy of the state.
Congressman w. w. Kitchin, made a
fervid appeal declaring that the adoption
of the substitute would not make peace
with party friends like Busbee and those
he represented, but would be a ringing
submission to the Republican party and
those who worshipped at the shrine Of
modern commercial Republieanism. He
declared that some Democrats In the
state were doing the party more harm
than ever Senator Pritchard could do,
had done or would do, with all his efforts
without such aid.
mo man now has any fear Of free sill

dead, and the adoption OF the substitute
means simply a submission to the die

Judge Avery, OF the committee, made a
strong demand for the adoption Of the
substitute saying the majority had been
begged not to throw this apple of discord
into the convention. The issue is dead as
they declare, and while 1 subscribe to
evc-y line Of the national platform, we
have no business of reaff1rming a dead
issue, thereby endangering a live issue.
The substitute was voted down much to
the disgust Of many anti-silver members
of the convention.

In general way the Red Polls close

larger and mature quicker says j. Me-

same active, hardy disposition and
much the same style. Red Polled breed
frs would say their cows are better
mixers, but this doubtless would de-
pend much on the selections.
As rule. Red Polls when fat should
be like DeyOns, round rather than
square. The fat should be very evenly
distributed and should not show In
punches. Like the Devons also, some
strains are inclined TO be high al the
tail head This Is doubtless an old
characteristic IN both breeds, but IL
