Fell to Ills Death.

Chicago, June 26.--In view of several hundred pIeasure-seekers, Charles Worthmiller, switchman, was thrown from rapidly-moving car on the Scenic Railway at South Side pleasure resort, falling to the ground fifty feet below He died soon afterward at Emergency Hospital.
 When the scenic train departed down the incline, high in the air. Worthmiller and companion were seated in the front of the car As the car was being elevated to the depot, worthmiIler stood up. He was warned of the dan ger. but paid no heed to the caution.
 When the car started on its trip down the steep incline. running at rate of seventy-five miles an hour, the man waved his arms and shouted. The next instant the car bounded up curve. The jolt caused 4worthmiller to lose his bal ance. He threw his arms out to catch himself, and as he did so, struck cue of the posts. He was thrown from the car head foremost. When picked up. Worthmiller was unconscious. He had landed on his head, fracturing his skull

MURDERoUs CRIME.
Father and Daughter Slain in Home at
 Miami Fla.


 Miami, Fla, June 26.--Charles Davis and his daughter were found dead this morning in their home. They had been murdered probably Saturday night. Both had been shot. One shot killed Davis while his daughter was shot twice It was rumored that an assault had been committed on Miss Davis, but the rumor was untruo.
 The fact of the murder was discov- cred by a MT. Burbank, who went to see Mir. Davis on business Sunday morning. He found the lower part of the house open but could find no one at home. Again Sunday afternoon and Monday morning he went with the same result. On the last visit his sus- picions were aroused and he went to the home of one of the sons of Mir. Davis. The)two returning to the Dav- Is house entered 1t and going upstairs found the two bodies.
 No clue has been found to point to any one as the pepetrator of the decd. The community is intensely excited and a lynching will probably follow an ar- rest Miss Davis was one of the most popular young women in the commu- nity and Mir. Davis was a prominent business man.
 The citizens of Miami have offered a reward of $150, the Merchants Associa- tion S25O, and the Elks $200, for the ap- prehension of the murderer of Mir. and Miss Davis.

OHIO DEMOCRATS.
Candidates for Governor Gathering al
 COIumbue.

Columbus.
 Columbus, O.. June 26.--With nearly all the candidates for the Democratic nomination for Governor in the city and nearly all the delegates gathered in the hotel Hobbies political discuss sions warmed perceptibly tonight. John M. Pattison of Clement, Col. ar- rived today. Judge Hiram D. Peck Of Cincinnati. Lawrence T. Neal of Chii- licothe; William S. Thomas of Spring field. Judge Samuel M. Hunter of Newark, Judge McCann of Dayton and others, arrived during the day and nearly every one of the gubernatoria1 candidates opened headquarters before the day closed.
 There was, however. no sufficient lining up among the delegates to show in which direction the majority of minds tended. In the multiplicity of candidates there was confusion and the best estimates as to relative strength of candidates were consider ably at variance. The convention will have S61 delegates with 431 votes nec- essary to nominate. While not giving out any full statement, the Welty claim of more than 500 votes assured was still maintained, although the tu- structed, pledged and known WeIty strength has been generally given as slightly under 300. The number Of votes instructed or pledged for Patti son was set at about the same figures- The effect of the possible support of the Anti-Saloon League on the Patti son vote was much discussed during the day. Pattison was declared to have the support of that element and a lining up of city and county deIe- gates against and for him was anticl- pated on that account.
 The large number of uninstructed delegates assured only one thing and that was the probability of no choice on the first ballot.

Washington, June 26.
 With view to completing the proof on which to collect for Alabama volun- teer troops of the Spanish war the pay due from the United States under the recent decision of the Court of Claims. Benjamin Carter of this city, attorney for the State of Alabama, has sent to the late commanding officers of the troops a circular letter telling what is needed, accompanied by. copies of the company rolls. It is necessary that these officers supply the date on whi ch each soldier, after the Governors proc- lamation was made. first appeared and announced his intention of serving in the war. For their service from that date until their muster into the ser vice of the United States, the volun- teers are now to be paid by the United States through the States, the Govern ors of the States alone being authorized to collect from the Federal Government. In many cases the soldiers themselves will have to inform their company of- flcers of the initial date of their ser vice.
 The rolls and letters have been sent to the captains of the companies if alive. Where the captain is dead, they were sent to the first lieutenant.
 Recruits who were rejected by the United States officers for physical dis ability are also entitled to this pay from the day of their first appearance for duty. All of these will have to com- municate with the company officers and supply the dates. There is no record os their service either in Washington or MontRomery.

Washington, June 26.
 In the report of Secretary Metcalf of the Department of Commerce and La- bor. transmitted tonight to the Presi- dent, embracing the report of special steamboat inspectors appointed as a result of the disaster last year to the steamer Slocum at New York, the Tenth District, which embraces the lower Mississippi. and the Gulf coast come in for severe criticism at the hands of Rear Admiral W. c. Wise. He describes the district generally as being in ''very bad condition" and this scoring takes in vessels inspected at Gulf coast.
 Of thirty-one vessels inspected in the district seventeen had defective life preservers, sixteen life boats improp- erly carried, all dangerous infiama- ble paint and lamp rooms. ten defec- tive fire hose, eleven no fire drills.
 At Mobile where Samuel Taylor and Eugene O'Brien are the inspectors. seven vessels were reinspected by Ad- miral Wise. Of these six had danger ous infiammable lamp rooms.five carried life boats improperly, four had defec- tive life preserver equipments. two de- fective fire hose and one a defective fire pump. Two had no fire drills.
 The reports are likely to be followed by the removal of a number of inspec- tors for neglect of duty. The report of the inspection treats the Cumber- land and Tennessee river boats, brief ly, but on the whole favorably.
