Two Fatally.
San Francisco, Oct. 4. WLen the
Darrant case was resumed this morning
Judge Murpby announced that he had
decided not to send Miss Cunningham,
the newspaper reporter, to prison for re
insing to tell him the name of the per
son who told her what Mrs. Leak would
testify. Miss Cunningham still refuses
to disclose tho name of her informant.
Then Judge Murphy explained why he
would not inforce his positive threat to
send the plucky newspaper woman to
jail. The judge said he had serious
doubts as to the propriety of the ques
tion, as he did not believe the defense
had the right to go on a fishing excur
sion for witnessess who might or might
not impeach Mrs. Leak's testimony.
The judge also said the supreme court of
California had in a similar case sus
tained the right of a newspaper reporter
in refusing to tell where he obtained
certain information. The court then
said he would hear arguments on the
point from opposing attorneys.
Frank A. Sademan, janitor of Eman
uel church at the time of the murders,
was recalled and examined in regard to
the ventilators. The defense tried to
show that the attic was so poony venti
lated that a person might easily have
been overcome by escaping gas.
A great commotion was caueed in
. court when General Dickinson called the
name of Rev. J. George Gibson as the
next witness. Gibson was handed sev
eral pieces ot paper, one at a time, and
asked to state if the writing contained
on each was not his own. In each case
the witness replied that while the writ
ing bore a remarkable resemblance to
his own, he could not swear that it was
actually his writing.
- On cross-examination District-Attorney
Barnes asked the witness to write
from dictation a letter to George R.
King, in which the names of Professor
Schern stern and Mrs. Charles G.Noble
.occurred. The purpose of this was to
compare the names with those on the
paper in which the rings of Blanche La
mont were returned to Mrs. Noble. As
Mrs. Noble's name and address were
. printed on the wrapper containing the
ring. Attorney Deuprey asked Rev.
Gibson to print Mrs. Noble's name and
address. Witness complied with the re
quest and the writing was introduced in
evidence.
L. L. Levings, a newspaper reporter,
was called by the defense, and asked if
' he wrote an article which appeared in a
local paper on April 14, in which Detec
tive Gibson was quoted as saying that
he saw prints of a number 8 or 9 shoe in
the belfry where Blanche Lamont's body
was found. Witness said he was not
positive whether or not he wrote that
article, but was of the impression that
he did not.
When the court took a recess until
two o'clock, Rev. Gibson was told to re
turn this afternoon with specimens of
his hand-writing contained in sermons,
one of which should have been written
before and the other after April 3.

remedy has done me. For years I was
a constant, sufferer from weak lungs and

was disturbed by a hacking cough, so
that I felt miserable the greater part of
the time. Many remedies recommended
by friends were tried, none of which
proved suitable to ray case. I did not
experience any beneficial results until I
began taking Chamberlain's Cough Re

state, my health is better than it has

All the Present Officers Were Renomin

Other New
Boston, Oct. 5. The republican ticket
as nominated, contains only one new
name that of the candidate for state
treasurer, and is as follows :
Governor, Frederick T. Greenhalge;
lieutenant-governor, Roger Wolcott ; se
cretary of state, William L. Olin.eof Bos.
ton; treasurer, E. P. Shaw, Fewbury.
port ; auditor, J. W. Kimball, Fitchburg ;
attorney-general, A. M. Knowlton, New
Bedfood.
It was a short convention and without
any sensational features. There was no
contest over any of the mominations,
and in no case was there more than a
shadow of opposition. Even that was
intended, according to some ef the men
who led, simply as a declaration of
strength.
For several weeks there had been ru
mors of very bitter opposition to the re-
nomination of Governor Greenhalge on
the part of the A. P. A. element in the
city, and some of the faithful predicted
a long and fierce contest before the bead
of the ticket was selected, but the state
central committee made everr effort to
straighten matters out, and so far suc
ceeded that it was given out that the reg
ulars were in control of the situation,
and that everything would run smoothly
when the convention met this morning.
The forecast proved correct in every par
ticular, and there was not a single hitch
in the proceedings from tne time the
chairman raised bis gravel until 2 :30 p.
m., when the business of the convention
was completed and it adjourned.
When the delegates convened this
morning Curtis Guild, jr., was choeen
permanent chairman. The committee
on credentials reported ladtf delegates
present out of a possible 2013, after
which the report of the committee on
resolutions was adopted unanimously.
GAVE HIMSELF UP.
Frank Wade. Who Shot Frang Marlow.
is Now In J alt.
Medfokd, Or., Oct. 5. Frank Wade,
who killed Frank Marlow at Lake creek,
about 25 miles northeast of Medford,
Thursday afternoon, 'gave himself up
last night and was brought to this city
today. He was taken before Justice Pur-
din and his hearing postponed until
Monday. Lawrence Wade had his pre
liminary examination before Justice
Purdin this afternoon, which resulted in
his being held without bail as an access
ory to the murder. The coroner's jury,
at the inquest of Frank Marlow, returned
a verdict of premeditated murder. Much
bitter feeling against the Wade brothers
exists in the Lake creek settlement, and
Frank Wade gave himself up in order to
seek protection at the hands of the
officers, as be knew that he was being
pursued, and feared the result had he
been caught bv others than officers of
the. law. Both are now in the county
jail at Jacksonville.
Anything to Meet Corbett.
Coepus Cubisti, Tex., Oct. 5. To-
dav Fitzsimmons was informed that be
was to be admitted to the Chickasaw
tribe of Indians in order to escape feder
al interference when he went to the In
dian territory to fight. When the re
porter asked Fitzsimmons how he would
like to make an Indian of himself, he
said that, while not "struck on joining
the tribe," he would gladly do - so, if it
would assure him of meeting Corbett,
and meet Corbett he must or suffer the
worst disappointment of his life. He
also stated that all the trouble could
have been avoided had not Corbett in
sisted on having the fight pulled off in
Texas, but he had strong hopes that
everything would be amicably arranged,
and - then "Gentleman Jim" would
either have to fight or suffer himself
to be branded before the world as a
coward. '
Martin Julian will leave Sunday or
Monday for Dallas, where he has been
summoned for a conferance with Dan
Stuart, Brady and others. He eays that
he is going there for business, and will
see that arrangements are speedily com
pleted for the fight.
Little Chilli Horned.
Independence, Or., Oct. 5. The 3-
year-old child of G. W. Pierce was
burned to death, dying at 5 o'clock this

'clock, while the family was avay from

it around the girl, put out the flames,
but not until her body and one arm were
shockingly burned. Her clothes were

haled caused her death, after she had

Colored Pastor's Proposed
Remedy
for Lynching.
Chicago,. Oct. C. "If the law is not
allowed to take its course concerning our
men involved in crime, the torch may
be applied in those cities where the out
rages occur."
These were the words uttered last

pastor of Quinn chapel, Twenty-fourth
street and Wabash avenue. "An au
dience of a thousand colored people ap
plauded the sentiment and rose to their
feet to further show their appreciation
of their pastor's stand.
The . Rev. Townsend's sermon was
called forth by the report in the morn
ing papers of the outrages upon Neal
Smith, at Chattanooga. When it was
finished the pastor gave out the hymn,
"Thou Sleepetb, Justice, Awake." At
the conclusion of the singing Mr. Town
send asked the audience to . remain a
short time saying:
" I want no one to leave the house
while I am speaking."
He produced a clipping from a morn
ing paper, read the account of the tor
turing of Neal Smith, and then said :
"This must stop in a Christian land.
If the law is not allowed to take its
course, concerning our men involved in
crime, the torch roust be applied in
those cities where the outrages occur."
The preacher delivered these senten
ces in an impassioned manner, and as
he finished for a moment there was
silence, and then the entire audience
arose and applauded.

NEWS BY TELEGRAPH.
New York, Oct. 7. A special to the
Herald, from Washington, says:
There is discussion in political circles
here oyer the possibility that all the
pan-American countries may in the near
future, act jointly .in the recognition of
the belligerency of the Cuban insur
gents. Pan-American representatives
have been anxiously waiting to see what
Secretary Olney will do and the sugges
tion has been made informally to the
department that it would be a good plan
for the United States and all South and
Central American countries to act in
concert as to the recognition of the in
surgents and as to the independence of
Cnba whenever the proper time arrives.
It has already been reported that Mexico
and Venezuela have declined to grant
belligerent rights. If this be the case,
the representatives of the respective
countries in this city have not been ad
vised of it. It is admitted by those con
cerned, however, that the insurgents
must make greater headway before it
will be entirely safe for the United States
or any other republic to recognize them.
The proposition for joint action is based
on the possibility of insurgent victory in
engagements which are likely soon to
occur.
