After Being; Married Three Jsys Ha Waved
an Adiea ta His tTUa. Crawled Tnder an
: Untenanted House and Dramk Bottle
cfLsadsBua. .
' Columbia, S. C, Ang. 28. Last San
day afternoon Wade J. Qeiger and Chas
Daniels, two yonng men employed at
that time at the lunatio asylum, bosom
friends, were the happy erooms at a
double wedding here, marrying Misses
c.iii...j t? irn . j
respectively. Love's -young dream
started happily, but the end for one
couple, at least, was sudden and tragic
Within 38 hours, Wade Geiger has died
bv his own' hand, under an nntenated
house, within sicht of hfs home, where
his beautiful and happy young bride was
awaiting his return; died like a dog up
under the house. There he- crawled to
death after embracing his wife, telHng
her "Good-bye, darling." And her last
sight of him is a pleasant memory, for
as far as he could see her he kept look
ing back and ; smiling at her. The
story of his death makes a-strange ro
mance.
'The dead man tras 31 'years of age.
He had been an attendant at the lu
natic asylum for five years. For seven
or eight years he had known, as a
child, the young, golden-haired girl
who, at 18 years of age, he married
now a handsome woman.
The tragic end of the three days'
honeymoon was disclosed this morning
when the daughter of Stephen Frazier
saw wnat she supposed was a drunken
man lying under an untenanted house
fifty or seventy-five yards distant from
the residence of Mrs. Kelly, his newly-
made mother-in-law, and gave the
alarm, in a lew moments it was dis
covered that it was the body of the
young groom, all drawn up and cold in
death, with a four-ounce laudanum bot
tle lying under one arm. When the
bride was informed a sadder sight is
seldom seen. Her grief seemed un
controllable, and it was in vain
that those who sought for a
cause for the terrible deed of
the young jjroom. The cause was to be
looked for elsewhere. He had, no one
knew why, become involved in a mat
ter at the asylum in which the charge
of dishonesty was pretty clear against
him. He told his wife his discharge
was due to hi3 getting married He
feared the consequences and suicided
in the most deliberate manner, thus
ending the three days' honeymoon. He
possessed the entire confidence of the
asylum authorities, and they thought a
deal of him. He left two pathetic
notes, one to his bosom friend, his
mother-in-law; the other to his parents.
HOW IT TOOK AT MORGAN TON.
Kxpressions About Jarvls' Speech It Sur
prised Many Democrats A Sound Money
Convention a Probable Result from It.
Special to the Observer.
M org anton, Aug 2S. There is talk
of holding a sound money convention
here among some of the most promi
nent Democrats. Morganton has about
as many sound money Democrats as
she has free silverites. "Everybody here
is talkingof Senator Jarvis' speech, and
a great many of his admirers were very
much surprised at his advising the
good citizens of Burke to join a party
that would give them free silver and no
other.
A prominent Democrat said here last
night that he had stopped his subscrip
tion to the Charlotte Observer be
cause Joe Caldwell had said that none
of the silver Democrats had any sense
but Senator Morgan, and he was one of
them. A gentleman who heard the re
mark said that he would subscribe to
morrow. "What did you think of Jarvis'
speech?" is heard all over town to-day.
Numerous answers are given, some of
which I give:
One Democrat said: "He only preach
ed free silver and the silverites claim
that every voter (except six or eight)
is in favor of free silver. These six or
eight were not present. What is the
use of calling the righteous?"
Another said: "The Populists claim
to be the only friends of silver; that the
Repuolicans are against it and the
Democrats are divided on the question,
and that the Populists only are solid
for it. Therefore, this being admitted,
and the Populists being the recognized
champions of free silver, is not a free
silver speech under the peculiar cir
cumstances and at this time and place
practically a Populist speech?" This
he explained he meant to apply to this
speech at Morganton yesterday, and did
not mean to say that a free silver speech
elsewhere or at another time or under
other circumstances was or would be
equivalent to a Populist speech.
Another said: "It was a mistake to
make a pure free silver speech at this
time. Curse the Legislature, the Re
publicans, etc!"
AN EXPRKSS CLERK INSANE
A Case of Unrequited Love Drlxes Him to
Distraction.
New Orlkaks, La., Aug. 27 A Chat
tanooga, Tenn., special to the Daily
States says:
Perrin W. Barton, a popular Southern
Express clerk, is being guarded by offi
cers at his room in the Tschopik Hotel,
violently insane as a result of unre
quited love.
Lie has been in the city two years and
was a popular favorite in society,
but seemed to be affected with an
unusual susceptibleness, and has pro
posed to a number of young la
dies' without success. A few weeks
ago he bought a diamond ring, pay
ing $100 for it, and offered it to Miss
Lillie Belle Dodge, as a token of love,
asking her to marry him. She took the
offer as an insult and called her mother,
who ejected the young man from the
house. Yesterday he rushed from his
room in his night clothing, threatening
to kill himself. He is violently insane
and it is feared that he will commit
suicide. Barton was generally the
centre of attraction at all social func
tions he attended, and has hosts of
friends throughout this section. His
brother will arrive to-morrow after
noon from Lexington, Va., and will
take the unfortunate young man to the
Virginia btate Asylum for treatment.

STRICKEN DUMB.
A Man Wbe Railed Against RelisioB
Stricken Damb and Asks to be Prayed For.
Savannah, Ga., Aug. 27. A special
to the Morning. News from Athens, Ga.,
tells of a remarkable incident that oc
curred at a big Methodist revival in
progress for the past' week at High
Shoals, fourteen miles from that place.
William Lioguewood, living at Ltign
Shoals, was once a Methodist, but had
turned unbeliever. He would attend
the meetings and go In the church, but
soon coming out, would get a crowd
around him and ridicule ; the -whole
proceedings.' Sunday afternoon, while
loudly railing out against religion, etc.,
and while in the midst of a sentence he
suddenly stopped, and has Dot spoken
since., Everything possible : has been
done to restore his speech, but to no
avail. The mas is sound and hearty
in every - other respect. . He wen to
the church yesterday, and was seen by
the minister to be shaking all over. He
took paper and pencil and wrote a few
lines afid handed the note to the pastor,
who read it to the meeting. -It was:' "I
am doomed to hell.- I now bel ie ve there
is- a. bell. Pray for me. The affair
has caused an immense sensation. He
is still dumb. - . :
DEXBV ' iOATH BSABO : FROM.
Tbe Gevernnaeat Cabled Him Newspaper
: Reports for Bis Confirmation or Denial
He Has Been Doing His Tall Duty.
WAStriHGTOir, Aug. 28. Minister Den
by at Peking has cabled a long explana
tion to the State Department with refer
ence to events connected with the in
quiry into the Kucheng massacre which
he had previously failed to report,
thereby causing some dissatisfaction in
official circles.
Mr. Denby had maintained so long a
silence, despite the anxiety of the De
partment to hear from him in regard
to these matters, that it was determined
to cable him a synopsis of the news
paper reports cabled from China in re
gard to alleged Chinese at temps to pre
vent a full" inquiry by the American
and British commissioners into the
massacre and the reported re-appointment
of the degraded viceroy, Liu, the
supposed instigator of the Cheng To
riots. This was done and Mr. Denby
was requested to state whether these re
ports were true. While the wording of
the cablegram thus sent can hardly be
deemed a demand for an explanation,
according to the interpretation given it
at the State Department to-day, the fact
that it was sent confirms the statements
published that Mr. Denby's long silence
was causing dissatisfaction. On the
whole, the answer of the minister shows
that he was dilligent in the perform
ance of his duty, and the explanation
of his silence appears to be that he
did cot deem some of the information
in bis possession sufficiently important
to cable.
To-day the Department received dis
patches from Mr. Denby, dated August
27th, in which he states 'that Mr. Hix
son, our cousul at Foo Chow, started
for Kutien under orders from him to
investigate the recent riots there in the
early part of this month. Mr. Hixson
went with the consent of the Chinese
government and under the protection of
an escort furnished by the provincial
authorities. He was accompanied by a
naval officer of our fleet, the latter, as
the Department has been advised from
other sources, being Commander New
ell, of the Detroit. Mr. Hixson has
reported to Mr. Denby that the work of
the commission at Keutin is proceeding
smoothly and that the Chinese officials
are lending their active co-operation. A
considerable number of convictions
have already .been secured. As to the
Szu Chuan commission, Mr. Denby
states that it will begin its work as
soon as the British consul at Chung
King, who has been designated by his
government to serve thereon, can leave
his post, which for the time being he
finds it impossible to do. The late
viceroy of Szu Chuan, Liu Ping-Chang,
has not been appointed by the Peking
government its commissioner for in
vestigating either the June or August
riots, but he has received orders from
the Emperor to remain at his post at
Cheng Tu until his conduct prior to
and during the riots has been thorough
ly investigated.
THE HORRIBLE HOLMES.
More Evidences of His Murders Discovered
Parts of Howard Pietsel's Body.
Indianapolis, "Ind., Aug. 28. Last
night three large charred chunks were
found in the chimney of the house in
Irvington, where Holmes is supposed to
have murdered Howard Pietzel. This
morning examinations showed that one
was a human liver, part of the intes
tines, stomach and spine of a human
being. Another was the base of a skull
with three vertebra; attached to the
larynx and dried-up brains. The third
was part of the pelvis with a section of
the thigh bone attached. The doctors
were able todistinguish these only after
the charred flesh had been scraped
away. A bunch of black hair, cor
responding to that of the murdered
lad, was dug from the dirt of the cellar
this morning. From the bottom of the
stove in which the body is supposed to
have-been burned, the detectives scaped
a substance which they 'suppose was
formed by the blood, and grease from
the body. The corpse was evidently
burned, on the second floor, after which
the stove-pipe was -removed and the
unburned portion thrown into the flue,
the base of which rests on the cellar
floor. This morning the chimney was
torn away and a scarf-pin was found.
It was made in the shape of a twig with
branches and flower ornaments, and is
supposed to have been worn by the boy.
At noon to-day Superintendent of
Police Powell and Coroner Castor went
before the grand jury and presented
the facts in the case. A strong elfort
will be made to bring Holmes here, as
the evidence is thought to be very con
clusive. THB DRY DOCK FOUND WANTING.
The Contractor Will Have to Doctor It Be
fore Its Acceptance.
Washington, Aug. 28. Justin Mc
Carthy, of this city, the contractor who
constructed the government dry dock
At Port Royal, S. C wss to-day in
formed by Acting becretary AlcAdoo,
of the Navy Department, that in ac
cordance with the recommendation of
the board that examined the dock, the
government cannot accept it in its
present condition. Mr. McAdoo says
he must make the repairs which the
board thinks are necessary before ac
ceptance can be given, or else the gov
ernment will make them, taking the
cost out of part of the contract price
which the Navy Department has re
tained. The principal objection of the
examining board was that the gates of
the dock were not strong enough, in
their opinion, to withstand the pressure
of the water.
Tbe Vegetarian Society Had a Hand iu
the Knchenr Massacre.
Hong Kong, Aug. 28. Advices re
ceived here from Kucheng state that
the inquiry of the investigating com
mittee into the recent outrages is pro
ceeding satisfactorily. The Chinese
officials are giving the commission am
ple assistance. Ten members of the
Vegetarian Society have been convicted
of participation in the outrages and the
trial of others is ia progress. There is
no danger of fresh disturbances during
the sitting of the commission.

QUAT AKT HASTINGS SHAKE HANDS.
A Dramatie Seeme la tbe PennsylYania Re
. pnblieaa Convention Wlm tbe Senator
and Governor Get Together A Quay
Orator Was Pleading Cor Htrmssj at tbe
Time A Quay Has Made Temporary
Chairman. Bat Qaay Had Hastings
Made Permanent Chairman.
IIarriebl'kg, Pa., Aug. 28. The most
bitter fight that has ever been experi
enced in the ranks of Pennsylvania Re
publicans is at an end and Senator Quay
is victorious. The Beaver statesman
swept eyeryih.ng before him and mag
nanimously consented, in the interest
or party harmoriy, to the nomination of
the six Republican Superior Court
judges, as the administration forces
had desired. The convention which
lasted a scant three hours, no recess be
ing taken, was marvelously harmo
nious. Judged by the way the Quay
and Hastings-forces hobnobbed within
a half-hour after the convention had
been called to order, the respective chiefs
setting the example by consulting with
one another, it was not eyident that the
party had been rent in twain during
the past two months and up to the very
day of the convention, by factionalism
that was unprecedented. The success
of Senator Quay is regarded as a mas
terly political achievement: he has se
cured control of the party organization
in the Key Stone State; has had him
self elected State chairman to succeed
an active political opponent, the latter
himself placing the Senator in nomina
tion, and literally was the power at the
convention.
The convention was announced to
meet at 11 -o'clock, but it was within
five minutes of the noon hour when
State Chairman Gilkeson rapped for or
der. The atmosphere in the hall
reached an almost torrid warmth, and
Governor Hastings vigorously used a
fan which bore an inscription "To keep
cool and vote for Quay."
When Chairman Gilkeson had called
the body to order Secretary Fetterolf
read the call for the convention andP
Secretary Rex called the roll of dele-
gaes. All of the 289 delegates respond
ed to their names and then nomina
tions for temporary chairman were
called for. Speaker of the Pennsyl
vania House of Representatives Harry
F. Walton, an administration leader,
presented the name of Colonel Henry
Hall, of Pittsburg, and Senator Quay
followed with the name of Representa
tive John.B. Robinson, of Delaware
county. Ex-State Chairman Cooper, a
Quay lieutenant, seconded the nomina
tion of Robinson, amid great applause,
and pleaded for harmony.
When Cooper was growing eloquent,
Senator Quay surprised the assemblage
by slowly rising from his seat, which
was but two rows behind that occupied
by Governor Hastings, and approaching
the Governor. The Senator extended
his hand, and the Governor being taken
by surprise, warmly grasped it. Mr.
Quay then whispered something pleas
ant in Governor Hastings' ear and they
smiled simultaneously. The delegates
accepted this manoeuvre as a peace of
fering and the cheering was terrific.
Robinson received 18i of the Phila
delphia votes, the five contesting dele
gates from the first and fifth wards and
that city being allowed a half vote each.
This rule also applied to the Winoming
county contestants. The convention
was on the tip-toe of expectancy while
the vote was being taken, and when
Secretary Rex announced 163 votes for
Robinson and lSJi for Hall, the Quay
men cheered wildly. This made a
otal vote of 297 which was announced!
through an error of the tellers. There
could be only 289 votes in the conven
tion but the six contestants who were
given a half vote each were counted as
whole votes. Quay's majority, how
ever, was 30i, the fraction resulting from
the election of three delegates from the
second district ofBerks, where only two
should have been chosen. The two
votes were divided among the three and
one of them, H. Miller Kaufmann. voted
for Quay. Cheer after cheer was given
when Colonel Hall moved that Robin
son be chosen by acclamation and there
was uproarious applause when Governor
Hastings seconded Hall's motion. The
e'ection was made unanimous.
Senator Quay made a motion, which
was seconded by Representative Stone,
that the committee on permanent or
ganization be instructed to report the
name of Governor Hastings for perma
nent chairman or the convention. It
was adopted. Governor Hastings, after
consulting with Senator Quay, moved
that no recess be taken by the conven
tion, but that it continue in session
unttl all business should be disposed of.
This was also agreed to.
Representative Stone presented 'a
resolution suspending the rule which
provides for the election of a State
chairman by the candidates selected at
the convention and the permanent
chairman and providing for the elec
tion by the convention. There was no
opposition to this.
The platform, in part, declares as fol
lows:
"Resolved, That we decry the grow
ing use of money in politics and the
corporate control of the legislators.
municipal councils, political primaries
and elections and favor the enactment
of legislation and enforcement of laws
to correct such abuses.
"We accept unreservedly the declara
tion enunciated by the Republican
national convention of 1892. We de
mand the use of both gold and silver
money, with such restrictions and under
such provisions, to be determined by
legislation, as will secure the mainten
ance of the parity of value of the
two metals so that the purchasing and
debt-paying power of the dollar, whether
of silver.gold or paper, shall at all times
be equal. Faithful to the Republican
party and believing it to be the
settled doctrine of the party that the
honor of the nation and the interests of
its citizens require the maintenance of
a national currency, every dollar of
which, whether in cold, silver or notes.
shall be of stable value and of equal
purchasing power, this convention
hereby declares i ts opposition to the de
basement of the national currency by
the admission of silver to free and ?un
limited coinage at the arbitrary ratio
of 16 to 1.
"We declare our continued adherence
to the protective policy which has been
so sturdily championed for one hundred
years by the. great men of our State and
of our nation, and to the acceptance of
which policy by the KepubncshVnarty
the country owes all the prosperity it
has en loved during the last thirtv
years. We insist upon the passage of
such legislation as will secure the
restoration and maintenance of this
policy without qualification or abate
ment. - ., .
: "The Democratic rart v. under Mr.
Cleveland's leadership, is charged with
the precipitation upon the country In
the early part of 1893 of the most , dis
astrous industrial and financial panic
in our history, which was caused by
the open threat of Mr. Cleveland to de-
stroy the protective policy, this by the
tear mat otner raaicai ana destructive

A BRUTAL Hl'BDER.
A Jealous Husband Kills His Wife and
Mutilates Her Horribly.
New York, Aug. 28. Oneof the most
atrocious murders that has occurred in
New York for years was committed
about 10:30 o'clock to-day at 515 East
Thirteenth street, when a jealous hus
band, crazed with rage because, as he
claims, his wife wronged him, butch
ered her with a knife. The murdered
woman was Annie Postulka, 45, years of
age. The muraerer is Unas, .fostuika,
a butcher, who married her two years
ago when she was a widow with six
children, all of whom are still living.
The eldest is Lizzie C, 19 years of age.
who assisted ber mother in running the
Cafe Waldorf at 114 East Fourth street.
The murderer says he found a stranger
with his wife, and that he saw sufficient
to convince him that his wife was not
a proper woman and was unfaithful to
him. He picked up a small butcher
knife and slashed her until she was left
a mangled corpse on tne lioor. Tne
woman's hands were cut to pieces
where she grasped the knife with which
her death wounds were inflicted, and
struggled madly with her murderer for
its p ssession. The frenzied man drew
the weapon across her throat from ear
to ear. Then he shoved the blade down
her throat and drew it across her cheek
so that her chin was almost entirely cut
away. Not satisfied with this, he jabbed
the knife into the unfortunate woman's
back and cut out a large piece of flesh.
The murderer was arrested while calm
ly seated at a table in his wife's cafe.
The Saltan Chafing Under England's Firm
Demands.
London, Aug. 28. A dispatch from
Constantinople to the Pall-Mall Gazette
confirms the statement previously
cabled that the Porte has complained
to France and Russia of England's atti
tude in regard to Armenia. The Ga
zette s dispatch adds that the dispatch
sent by the Sultan to the French and
Russian diplomats bitterly complains
that Great Britain's discourteous and
unseemly attitude is derogatory to the
prestige of the Sultan. He therefore
appeals to Russia and France to use
their good offices to induce Great Brit
ain to modify her attitude. The re
plies of the French and Russian repre
sentatives, however, do not favor Tur
key s contention or give the Sultan any
encouragement.

for damages has been filed in the United
States Court by Mrs. Kate Smith, a resi
dent of New York, against the city of
Jacksonville for $10,000, for injuries
sustained by tripping and falling while
crossing Main street in May, 1894, while
the street was torn up, preparatory to
paving.
Counsel have deferred bringing tbe
suit until now, as Mrs. Smith has been
in a very delicate condition ever since.
and the extent of her injuries could not
exactly be determined. The attending
physician says that the injuries are in

we have a continuation of co-operation

furthermore believe, as the Republi

that it is due the Republican party;
that they should have the candidate
for Governor next year. Believing this
as we do, we take pleasure in unfurling

Judge Daniel L. Russell, of Wilming

Parks, Aug. 28. The newspaper Echo
de Paris to-day announces that the
Duke of Orleans, who upon the death
last year, of his father, the Count of
Paris, became the head of the royalist
party In France and claimant of the
throne, has become convinced of the
futility ot further fighting the repub
lic. - - He has, therefore, decided to
abandon the royalist propaganda in
France, cease the payment of subsidies
to royalist newspapers and abandon tbe
offices in Paris occupied by the Royal
ist committee.
