Dallas, Tex., Aug. 9.—The examining
trial of Amos Brewer before Justice Ma-
lone has established the fact that Ira B.
Oliver was murdered. He certainly did
not commit suicide.
The sensation of last Saturday, when
Brewer’s sweetheart, Winnie Williams,
swore that he confessed the murder to
her, was eclipsed to-day, when, continu-
ing her testimony, she swore that
Brewer not only told her about cutting
Oliver’s throat, but that he also told her
he had shot him in the back, near the
neck.
No such wound had been found on
Oliver’s body by the coroner. After Miss
Williams’ new testimony this morning,
officers were sent out to Farmer’s ranch,
the body dug up and a bullet-hole found
56c and closed %c up.

Colonel Gresham Has Nothing to Say
Except That He Will Support the
Nominee—Republicans Talking.
Washington, D. C., Aug. 9 —The tariff
cinternet remained in session until a
few minutes past 12 o’clock, and when
they adjourned the senate conferrees
proceeded to the president’s room, where
they held a private consultation, free
from interference or interruption. A
report, however, soon gained general
circulation which completely upset re-
ports generally circulated earlier in the
day as to non-agreement.
The later story was to the effect that
an agreement had been arrived at and
that it was on the lines of the under-
standing which was reached last night
that iron ore should be made free, coal
dutiable at 40 cents per ton and the com-
promise sugar schedule should stand.
Indications point tor a verification of this
latter report.
The republican members of the con-
ference had not at 12.30 received any
formal notice to attend a meeting, but
they received an intimation that a full
conference would be held this afternoon
and immediately began consultations
with leaders on that side of the chamber
apparently with a view of preparing
themselves for the final conflict which
they believe to be at hand.
A petition was to-day circulated among
the members of the house urging the
house tariff conferrees to stand by free
sugar and a permanent income tax.
Representative Bland started the petition
and it was numerously signed. It is as
follows:
“We, the undersigned democratic
members of the house of representa-
tives, request our conference committee
to insist on the provisions of the house
bill relating to free sugar and a per-
manent income tax, and to secure the best
compromise possible on other schedules
of the bill.”
A Town Burned.
Rantoul, Ill., Aug. 9.—The town of
Giffors, seven miles east of here, was
almost swept away by flames which
stasted at 2 o’clock this morning. Two
grain elevators, the Illinois Central de-
pot and almost the entire business por-
tion is in ashes. As commuication by
telegraph and telephone is cut off the
entire facts can not be learned.

A Factor in the Suit cf a Woman Crip-
pled For Life.
- Kansas City Star.
1 A bill of exceptions with an old shoe,
' burst out at the sole and run down at the
‘ heel, will soon be presented to the su-
! preme court of Missouri in the $10,000
s damage suit of Mrs. Marcella Thompson
against the Metropolitan Street Railway
5 company. The shoe was worn by Mrs.
Thompson when she was hurt about a
year ago in falling out of a Metropolitan
car and on it much depends in her action
against the company.
Mrs. Thompson, who lives at 1214
West Ninth street, occupied a seat in
the car directly over one of the wheels,
which, being higher than the body of the
car, was covered with a sheetiron box,
or shield. Most everybody who rides
on cable cars has noticed these arched
coverings which project above the floor.
They are usually quite near the sides of
the car. Mre. Thompson cays that when
the car arrived at her stopping place she
signaled the conductor to step and rose
to leave the car. As she did so her foot
caught between the side of the car and
the covering of the wheel, tripping her
up and throwing her heavily to the
ground. The proof at the trial showed
that she received terrible and perma-
nent injuries. A dislocation of the hip
joint made her a cripple for life.
In her suit for $10,000 damages filed
soon after, she alleged negligence on the
part of the company in not arranging the
wheel coverings so that passengers’ feet
would not be caught by them. The com-
pany contended that the covering had
fall, that she had fallen just as'many
persons do on level ground, through an
accident which could not be guarded
against. To substantiate her claim that
her foot was caught by the wheel cover-
ing, Mrs. Thompson’s lawyer’s showed
to the jury the shoe she had on at the
time. The leather of the vamp was in
fact torn away from the sole, but the
company’s lawyer’s argued that the hole
in the shoe was caused by long wearing
and was not torn in Mrs. Thompson’s 1
fall. So it can readily be seen how im-! eloquence.
terday Attorney James Black of the firm
was at work on the bill of exceptions.
Now the supreme cout will have to de-
cide the grave question, was the hole in
Mrs. Thompson’s shoe torn there or
worn there? In the meantime the shoe
is simply “ Exhibit A,” hanging by a
string from a book of typewritten pages
The Midland Shooting.
Newcastle, Colo., Aug. 9.—Excitement
over the shooting of United States
soldiers guarding the Midland bridge,
was intensified last night by the firing
of a shot by some unknown person at
~_..l D " The bullet
struck just in front of him. The soldiers
were in arms and at once made a
thorough search without finding the
would-be murderer. Militia think they
have located the party that did the
shooting. The remainder of the com-
pany, consisting of 15 men, has been
ordered here to reinforce the present
command.
Coxeyites Arrested.
Baltimore, Md., Aug. 9.—Marshal
Frey dispatched 40 policemen by a
special train to Hyattsville at 3 o’clock
this morning and arrested the remainder
of Coxey’s army, 88 in number, on a
charge of vagrancy and the “soldiers”
are now captives in the Maryland house
of correction.
Troops Withdrawn.
Denver, Colo., Aug. 9.—General Mc-
Cook has withdrawn all troops from
service along the line of the Southern
Pacific railroad in Arizona. In view of
the firing upon soldiers at Newcastle it
is not likely that the Colorado troops
will be withdrawn soon.
Negligee Shirts and Stiff Bosoms.
Haberdasher.
Well grounded doubts as to the peyr
manency of the negligee shirt pervade
the trade. There are many who see In
the falling off in the demand for soft
bosom shirts of the best quality a re-
action which means the consequent
obliteration of this once popular gar-
ment. The fancy shirts with stiff bosoms
have evidently crowded the fine negligee.
The Bishop’s Handicap.
Globe-Democrat.
Managing editor to makeup editor—
I see on one of the galley proofs a head-
line, “Watterson for Total Abstinence.”
You must change that. We don’t want
any jokes in the headlines of this paper.
Make-up editor—I thought it was a little
queer myself until I read far enough
down to find that it was Bishop Watter-
son who was meant—not Henry. Man-
aging editor—Oh, yes; the bishop is all
right, but his name will hurt him for 15
or 20 years, until he familiarizes the
public with it in the capacity of a total
abstinence lecturer.
One thing is positively certain, that
the democratic party must pass a tariff
bill of some kind and one materially
lightening the burdens as borne under
the McKinley bill. Less than this means
party failure.—Jackson (Miss.) Ledger.

then these gentlemen have fallen out' at once filed notice ofjippeal, and yes-
with Colonel Gresham on account of ap-
pointments made through his influence
and had determined to punish him for
not rewarding their good offices in the
former nomination. This made him an
impossibility at Halletsville, and when
the Galveston delegates stuck to him so
long the opposition forced the nomina-
tion of Mr. Crowley to show that there
was no antagonism to Galveston, but
personal opposition to Mr. Gresham.
Mr. Crowley’s Acceptance.
Following is Mr. Crowley’s speech in
accepting the nomination at Hallettsville
yesterday:
“In receiving this nomination at your
hands for this responsible position I
desire to express to you my profound
thanks. So distinguished a mark of
confidence proceeding from such an in-
telligent body of representative demo-
crats commands my gratitude and devo-
tion. I believe I comprehend a just
estimate of the importance of the trust
confided to me, and from my previous
legislative experience, having been in
both branches of the legislature of
Texas, have some knowledge of its
duties. But were I not animated by
[* the faith I have in the indulgence of
my friends and the assurance of their
effective co-operation I would shrink
from the psfformance of its duties
and the burden of its great responsi-
bilities. I recognize the fact that it is
the duty of every representative of the
people to give all of his constituents a
fair and honest representation, and here
allow me to assure the representatives
of the democracy who reside in those
counties in this district outside of Gal-
about the circuit judgeship (the Eighth,
to which Judge Thayer of Missouri was
appointed) that has never been told.
When the bill first passed, the president
had in mind a man for the place whose
name has not been mentioned. William
L. Wilson, the chairman of the ways
and means committee, has been told by
his physicians that neither he nor Mrs.
Wilson can expect to enjoy good health
in a climate so rigorous as West Virginia.
Texas has been recommended to him
as affo-ding the best conditions for both First Serge“anfc McKane.
This fact was known to the president. - - - - • - • •
When the bill creating a new judgeship
for the Eighth circuit came to him, Mr.
Cleveland, being under the impression
that the circuit included Texas, at once
thought of appointing Mr. Wilson, thus
giving him a life position and a new
home. He sent for Mr. Wilson and the
matter was discussed. The president’s
attention was called to the fact that
Texas is not in the circuit, and that Mr.
Wilson’s judicial services would be ren-
dered in about the same latitude as West
Virginia. The idea was abandoned.
that Colonel Gresham’s defeat was due
to disappointments growing out of the
first, at which he was sup-
ported in the final solution of
that deadlock by both ex-Congress- j vcxuiuu «puuvu uamngcs. x mu, x-cnj

form I have a platform of my own. It
is called a ‘get there’ platform, and
when the ides of November roll around
watch the democratic majority roll up,
and the Tenth congressional district will
never more be classified as doubtful.
[Renewed and continued applause.] Gen-
tlemen,! again thank you and I will
meet you at the hustings.”
The President’s Bittle Mistake in Judi-
cial Geography.
A Globe-Democrat’s Washington spe-
cial says : There is some secret history
pie just as honestly, just as faithfully
and as diligently as I will the people of
Galveston county, among whom I live.
And in accepting this nomination I
pledge myself and my utmost endeavors
to secure the best results for all the peo-
ple. I know that I have occupied an
anomalous position before the delegates
of this convention. I know that I am not
their first choice. I know that I am not
the first choice of the democrats of
this district. But in all matters per-
taining to legislation where they form a
rule to remedy some alleged evil and
the various sections of the party
can not agree upon it in toto concessions
must be made, to the end that compro-
mise can be effected and the bill be-
come a law. So it is in political con-
ventions. When the two factions of a
party disagree and can not get together
the only way to break a deadlock is for
both sides to make concessions and com-
promise. I am in that condition to-day,
and in consequence thereof I do not
care what the platform may be [wild ap-
applause from the Hogg delegates of
Lavaca county] provided it is a Cleve-
land platform. [Vociferous
plause from the delegates
had voted for the
which continued for several minutes.]

The bullet was also cut out. Miss
Williams says Brewer told her he shot
Oliver, who fell, sprang to his feet,
rushed at him and that he (Brewer) had
to cut his throat to kill him.
The developments have created a great
sensation. Brewer and his friends de-
clare that somebody else must have mur-

is not the slightest clue to anyone but
Brewer.
He has been committed to jail for the

A Bonus to Loyal Laborers.
Frostburg, Md., Aug. 9.—The con-
solidated Coal company has notified' all
the miners who stuck to their posts dur-
iig the late protracted strike that they
will each receive nine months’ rent and
fuel free.
Japan Expected to Win.
Acco ding to a dispatch from Berlin,
the progress of the Chinese-Japanese
war is watched there with impartial
interest. The people have no bias in favor
of either side. The expectation is that
Japan will win. It is based on
the fact that for years retired Ger-
man officers have been at work
in iha Japanese army, while nu-
merous Japanese officers have got their
education in German regiments. The
latter have shown always high capacity
for learning the art of war. General
Oshitna, now commanding the Japanese
army in Corea, studied the German sys-
tem carefully and used his influence to
enage'Colonel Freiherr von Getschreiber
to organize the Japanese general staff.

Senator Miles Crowley, Congressman
Walter Gresham, P. N. Harris. Dan
Kelley, Judge Lockhart, William Rep-
pen, John Young and Maurice Coffey
returned from Halletsville last night.
Colonel Gresham was seen thia morn-
ing and asked about the result of the
convention.
“Hon. Miles Crowley is the nominee of
the convention for congressman of the
Tenth district. I will surely give him
my support.”
Several of the others whe~were-in the
convention when the nomination was
made yesterday were seen and each re-
fused to say anything about the master
further than that the convention had
a Ijou nel and everything was over.
Senator Crowley was on the streets
this morning smiling. “Well, I see you
capfuied the persimmon, senator,” re
marked affribune young man.
“They seemed to want somebody” was
all Mr. Crowley would say.
How It Gama About.
The Tribune learns this afternoon from
unquestioned authority the following
facts in regard to the conclusion of the
Halletsville convention.
When the Galves'on county caucus
was held Tueeday night it was decided
to adjourn the convention on Wednes-
Colonel Gresham at that
had assurance from Colorado
Gonzales counties that after
adjournment he could un-
hesitatingly depend upon increased
strength and counting the known votes
in this reinforcement his friends agreed
that he could poll 33 and a fraction
votes. With these assured it seemed
, reasonable that the additional 2 and a
traction could bs Eecured, bo that the
proposition to adjourn was agreed upon
with the comforting expectation of ulti-
mately nominating him. All the Gal-
veston delegates were not present at this
caucus, but a majority were and had
been notified to be present.
Wednesday morning the Lane men
proposed to nominate Mr. Crowley, and
another caucus of the Galveston forces
was held, at which it was decided to al-
low one ballot to be taken, and if there
were no nomination to adjourn as previ-
ously figreed. It was contemplated at
this time that the Line men would put
up Mr. Crowley. Colonel Gresham it
this juncture said to his delegates that
if the opposition should put up any good
Galveston man and bring to his sup-
port their 24 votes he would not
stand in the way of a nomination. The
Galveston delegates thereupon deter-
mined to let the ballot develop and if
Mr. Crowley showed sufficient strength
in the other counties to be nominated
with Galveston’s vote to then poll the
delegation and decide whether to vote
for him or prolong the deadlock od
Gresham and adjourn.
The ballot was taken, and without hav
ing his name formally presented the
Lane delegates voted for Crowley. When
it was eeen that he could be nominated
with Galveston’s vote it was decided to
cast it for him and he was elected.
Tuesday night and Wednesday there
were but six of tbe Galveston delegation,
including Mr. Crowley, present, the
others having come home.
It is denied that the Lane men ever in
good faith put up or tried to put up a
Galveston man, but their proposition all
along, until the nomination of Mr. Crow-
ley, was for both Gresham
Lane to come down and
Galveston to nominate another Gal-
veston man. This proposition was
declined by Galveston for two reasons
as given out by the delegates. One rea-
son was that there was no guarantee that
under such a proposition enough votes
could be mustered for the new Galves-
ton man, and the other reason is that no
other Galvestonian than Gresham or
Crowley could carry the Galveston dele-
gation, which was put under the unit
rule in all matters by a resolution of the
convention.
The whole proceeding is construed, in
the light of subsequent events, as the
last resort of the Lane men to defeat
Gresham. Seeing an adjournment was
to be forced, and realizing that such ad-
journment would mean Gresham’s ulti-
mate nomination, they forced the ballot
on Mr. Crowley and precipitated his
nomination.
Republicans Talk.
L. C. Luke, a colored republican of
tbe laborers’ faction said this morning
that it is the opinion of his people that
a conservative republican can be elected
if the party will get together. “The re-
publicans have a chance,” he said, “if
the so called ‘Samsons’ will stand eside
f’rthe good of the party.” The name
of R. B. Hawley was mentioned and
Luke ventured the opinion that he
would be an easy winner.
It leaks out this morning that a meet-
ing of the Sumoer Republican club,
composed largely cf the negro laboring
element, was held last night, and there
was some talk of presenting a formal
request to Mr. Hawley to enter the race,
but there was no final action taken.
Well informed republicans believe
that Mr. Hawley would have no trouble
in polling the negro vote, as he would
not be handicapped as was Mr. Rosen-
thal two years ago by a feud with
■Charlie Ferguson, which lost support to
the republican nominee in Fort Bend
and other counties.
Mr. Hawley has yet given no indica-
tion of what he will do.
