Columbus, O., Aug. 11.—The
populist state convention opened
with Mr. Witt of Cleveland de-
manding more than five minutes
in which to speak upon the
charges to the effect that certain
middle-of-the-road delegates were
there in the interest of Senator
Hanna to keep the convention
from endorsing ihe state demo
cratic ticket. The chair refused
Mr. Witt more time. Delegates
told him to sit down and finally
Martin Krumm of Columbus un
dertook to put him down. Mr.
W itt resisted Mr. Krumm. George
Kiddie of Columbus seized a chair,
Measles, J delegates took the chair from Kid
die and pandemonium reigned.
E. M. Kerr and Mr. Krumm
clinched and were fighting when
Policeman Dan McManamy sepa-
rated them. Chairs were broken
in the fight. When quiet was
partly restored Mr. Witt still de-
manded more time. Further
trouble being apparent McMana-
my telephoned police headquar
ters and a squad of police report-
ed to preserve order. All anti-
fusion delegates were seated and
straight a populist ticket will be
named.

4.—The British steamships Islan-
der and Gees have arrived here
with 500 prospectors which in-
creases the namber at the Dyea
and Stagnay trails to fully J 500.
Late reports say the Staguav
route is open to travel but the
road is very soft. There are 200
to 300 horses Jn the trial and they
will soon tramp the road in a de-
plorable condition.
The probability of one man in
ten reaching the Klondike is re-
mote. Old Alaska prospectors,
some of whom wintered on the
Yukon and who know what to ex
peer, are becoming frightened and
turning back for fear of a famine
on account of so many men rush-
ing headlong to the mines without
j enough provisions to last them
two months.

and, rubbing coaxingly against
the bars, mewed all softly to her
j angle lover to come and say good
night, Paul, just lay Btill, hi«
head between his paws, and didn't
notice her at all. Tiring of coax-
ing him, the faithful kittie stopped
and jnst looked and looked at the
noble, great fellow. Finally a
keeper saw her do something that
instinct never let her do before.
She shy ly crept through the big
black iron bars, and goine in, ca-
ressed the great bowed head in
her most loving way. Bat there
was no response. Then kittie
slowly went away, and Panl slept
on—the sleep that knows no wak-
ing.
Scores of people who had known
the old lion for nearly twenty
years had just been viritlng him,
and hosts of tiny children
had tossed him kisses just as
death was coming on. He died
exactly as Superintendent Stephen
in the Enquirer a month ago said
he would, "as if asleep, with his
head between his paws.''—Cin-

A BODY DISSOLVED.
Chicago, Aug. 8.—The experi-
ment of destroying a human body
by the use ot crnde potash was
successfully carried out today.
The body was destroyed, with the
exception of a few small splinters
of bone, in two hours. Of the
tleshy substance only a small
quantity of fluid, abrut the con
sistency of molasses, remained.
The experiment was made under
the orders of the prosecution in
'lie case of Adolph Luetgert, the
rich sausage manufacturer, who
is charged w th murdering his
^vife and disposing of her body in
the vats of his factory.
j The attorneys for the state wero
'entirely satified with tne test and
believe the last link in the chain
i of circumstantial evidence has
j been found to convict Luetgert of
j his alleged crime.

strnck, met at Newton Tuesday
night and after denouncing the
company's action, formally de-
clared the strike on at Oak Hill,
and decided to remain out until
the list of prices is paid.
At Plnm Creeek the force was
increased. The full quota, 285
men, went in before 7 o'clock and
the De Armitt's are jubilant.
There is a story being discussed
about the mines and on the streets
in Pittsburg that the New York
and Cleveland Gas Coal company
has under consideration a plan
for sharing profits annually with
the miners. They will not be put
into effect, however, nntil the
strike is over, and those claiming
to have knowledge of the purposes
say it is copied after the system
in force in Wanamaker's store in
Philadelphia, New York and other
large establishments in the east.
Several threatening letters have
been received by President De-
Armitt recently, he sajs, some of
them menacing him personally
and others the property of the
company.
i A Railroad Thirty-Six Miles Long
There is an obdurate little rail -
! road in Georgia which has not
only shown a disposition to fight
i all the rest of the state, but which
J seems serenely confident that it
i will win. It is only thirty six
I miles long, runs from Dnblln to
Tennille. Its name is the Wrights
ville and Tennille railroad, and is
especially distinguished foi its
prosperity and pugnaclousness
Last year the cotton growers
along this line of railroad were
compelled to ship their cotton
over the Georgia Central because
the road refused to issue through
bills of lading over any other line
Some of the growers wanted to
ship their cotton over the Augusta
Southern, but the Wrightsville
and Tennille refused to give them
through bills of lading on that
line, and made no pretense to dis
guise their preferences. The re
suit was that the Georgia Central
got nearly all the cotton, and the
Augusta Southern got left.
The matter was carried be
fore the railroad commission

Pussy and the Lion.
Last night a little, purring kit-
ten rubbed herself in friendly
fashion against the great iron bars
of the den of Old Paul, the Zoo's
famed lion, of whom extreme age
has made a pitiable show these
many weeks. It was the kitten's
way of coaxiDg Paul to come and
say good night to her, for Panl
and kittie were Dest of friends.
She was the only bit of outside
life that PluI was ever friendly
with. Every night for weeks kit
tie has crept slyly up in front of
the bars of her old lion lover's
home, and when she mewed to
him he came forward and pot his
great shaggy head as close 10 her
as he could, and they caressed each
other.
Last night when kittle came,
land that body handed down
Ja decision ordering that the
! Wrightsville and Tennelle is
I sue through bills of lading over
all railroads and not to play any
favorites. The commission also
ordered the attorney general of
the state to begin proceedings for
damages against the recalcitrant
railroad and to try the issue in-
volved before the state courts.
Attorney General Terrell has pre
pared his case and will go down
to Dublin to try it before Judge
Hart The defence will be rep
resented by former Senator A. F.
Daly of Wrightsville. Nit only
is the right of the state to man-
age its railroads Involved in the
trial of the case, but the interstate
commerce commission is Interest-
ed as well. The line of the Geor-
gia Central rnns entirely through
the state while the Augusta South
ern line—the destination of both
being Savannah—carries the
freight north to Hamburg and
then south over the Port Royal
route through South Carolina.
This brings up the interstate com-
merce commission question, and
not only the railroad people of
Georgia, but the cotton growers
as well are deeply interested in
the result of the le^al contest.—
