Mc-Glincy and wife, their daughter, Mrs. Jas. Dunham, James Wells, a son of Mrs. Mc-Gllncy, a hired woman, Minnie Schesler, and a hired man, James Briscoe, were killed at Campbell by James Dunham, a son-in-law of Col. McGlincy, who made his escape.

About midnight a neighbor named Page heard the report of shots in the direction of the McGlincy home. Almost immediately thereafter there came the sound of galloping hor.se hoofs on the country road. Hurriedly dressing. Page proceeded to the home of the McGlincys and was horrified to find the body of McGlincy lying in an outhouse In a pool of "blood.

J. Kerns Die the Elks' Clock Resumed Operations. The members of St. Louis Lodge, No. 9, B.

P. O. Elks, are of a curious event, which happened coincident with the death of J. J. Kerns on Sunday last.

The lodge is the owner of a very handsome brass clock, a model of the famous bell in the Kremlin at Moscow, which was presented to it by Fanny Davenport. This clock was considered out of order, and has not run since last December, the hands remaining stationary at 10 minutes past 3. Sunday the Steward of the club, who was entirely alone in the room at the time, suddenly heard the clock ticking, and upon looking more closely discovered that it was going. Upon comparing the time indicated by it with his watch he was amazed to find that the clock had started at precisely 3:10, and did not have to be reset. It is still running, and the query now is why? Another peculiar incident to the death of Mr.

Kerns was that on last Thursday night the lodge passed a set of resolutions complimenting him upon his services to the lodge. These were framed, and he was to call for them on Monday the day after bis death. CHARITY BALL ON A BOAT. New York Society People Give a Profitable EatertaiaminL Bp-lal to The Pot-DUateh.

There was no lagging on the part of the delegates to the National Prohibition Convention to-day. They were all astir bright and early, and long before the hour for calling the convention to order the -delegates had all assembled in Music Hall at the Exposition Building, and there were thousands of Prohibitionists from all parts of the country who had come to watch the proceedings. The galleries were crowded and so was the maiC floor. All were Intensely Interested. It was the seventh national convention of the party and according to thoae old war horses of Prohibition who have taken part In every national convention the party has ever held, it was the most exciting.

Never before has the party had a question to solve over which so much contention has been developed as during the last few days here over the money plank of the platform. A part of the delegates are strongly in favor of adopting a plank in the party platform declaring in favor of the free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. This wing also desires to declare for the Government ownership of railways and telegraph lines, for woman suffrage, for the abolition of trusts and monopolies, for restricted immigration and, as one of the leaders put it, "everything that anybody wants." The opposing faction- believes that the Prohibition party Should confine its declarations to the one -issue of prohibition. And ever since the delegates began to assemble the war between the factions has been increasing in bitterness. The single issue of the gold standard faction, as it is called, scored the first'' victory last night in the National Committee, when it elected A.

A. Stevens of this State to act as temporary chairman of the convention. By this defeat the broad gaue or -free silver wing was only IntensifledTin its desire to dominate. The leaders of each side had met before the hour for cajlling the convention to order for the purpoise of makin? a few final preparations ffyr the fight in the convention hall. As the prominent men of the party came Into thfe hall they were each in turn given an ovjation of applause and as the hour for calling the convention to order approached the enthusiasm increased.

It was long- after 10 o'clock when Samuel Dickie, Chairman of the National Central Committee, 'stepped upon the platform and called the convention to order. The call of the convention was then read, after which H. L. Castle of this city made an address, welcoming the delegates to the city. When the applause following this address had died away.

Chairman Dickie made a brief reply in which he thanked Mr. Castle and the citizens of Pittsburg for the cordial treatment the representatives of the Prohibiion party had received. Both speakers were frequently interrupted by applause. When he had finished the response to the address he said he had the honor to introduce the gentleman chosen to act as temporary chairman by the National Committee. Mr.

A. A. Stevens of Pennsylvania. When he had said this Chauncey M. Dunn of.

California arose and said he had a minority naport to offer. He would name of E. J. Wheeler and moved it be substituted for that of Mr. Stevens.

He was told to sit down by Mr. Dickie, but refused. Uproar followed, with cries of sit down. Mr. Stevens took the chair.

Mr. Dunn refused to sit down and appealed from the decision of the chair. He was again told to sit down and there was another storm of disapproval. "I'm asking for Mr. Dickie to rule upon my appeal," yelled Mr.

Dunn. "We won't submit to this gag rule." There were cries from all parts of the house for Mr. Dickie to come forward and make a ruling on the appeal. He came out at length amid hisses and howls and said that there could be no appeal taken in an unorganized body. Finally, for harmony's sake, Mr.

Wheeler withdrew his name after the police had been called to eject unruly delegates. Mr. Wheeler was loudly cheered and there were denunciatory cries against what the broad gaugers termed outrageous gag rule. It was the first clash between the free silver and gold standard delegates on the convention floor and the single issue crowd won. Mr.

Stevens, the temporary chairman, finally succeeded in restoring order and then proceeded to address the convention. He briefly reviewed the history of the Prohibition party, telling the causes which led up to its organization He told of the different conventions the party had held and paid a eulogistic tribute to each Presidential candidate, who in turn had borne the standard of the party. In conclusion, he said, the Republicans would at their convention declare for tar- itl reform, the Democrats for sound money ami the Populists for free silver. Each had a -dominant Issue to advocate. The Prohibition party should now come forward with its dominant issue.

It should have F-rohibition and none other. He was loud-y applauded when he had finished. At this point Mr. Dickie said he had neglected to name a temporary secretary in behalf of the National Committee. The gentleman chosen was A.

B. Wilson of Illinois. There were no objections and the chairman directed the secretary to call the roll by States for the announcement of committees and members after which, a recess was taken until 3 o'clock to give the committees opportunity to act. THE PAPER WAS MORTGAGED And Now Evans Wants Holmes Uhedfer Selling It Pun- A warrant for selling mortgaged property was sworn out at St. Charles, Tuesday against James C.

A sensation has been caused in the State of Tabasco by the appearance of a young Indian prophetess, who predicts a general conflagration, to be preceded by signs and wonders, among them the falling of edifiees and the premature speaking of infants. Several bridges have fallen and the Indians, believing these incidents a fulfillment of the prophecy, are alarmed. The Bishop of Tabasco has sent for the girl, who claims to have had celestial visiters during her recent sojourn in the forests along the Grijalva.

Successful experiments in the presence of President Diaz have been made wit'i a new explosive invented by Manuel Gama, a Mexican citizen. It was compared with the best of foreign explosives, and that of Gama Is nearly double their penetrating force. Complaint is made by authorities in the State of MIohoachan that some robbers have been shot without due form of trial. There is discussion going on in the press, the opposition papers accusing the authorities with disobedience of the law. The cattle in the interior have been perishing for lack of pasturage and the price is rising.

WEILER'S HUMILIATION. Revival of the Reports That He Has Resolved to Resign. Special to The Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK. May 27.

A cable from Madrid to the Journal says: Peisistent rumors prevail to the effect that Gen. Weyler, annoyed by the policy of the Government of correcting his most Important acts, chiefly when the United States protests, has resolved to resign. The resolution of the Government to except existing contracts from Gen. Weyler's ordjr regarding the exportation of tobacco has filled the measure of his annoyance. The Minister of the Cclonies says that Weyler consulted with the Government regarding the tobacco edict.

The Government approved, but excepted tobacco sent to Spain and decided that contracts existing with foreign countries must be carried out. It alsc recommended him to give a period of giace before enforcing the order. Weyler therefore anticipated the need of respect for existing contracts quite apart from any protest of America, and has, therefore, no reason to be disgusted. The declarations of the Ministers produce little effect. The people generally believe that Weyler will very shortly return to Soain.

The fender worked admirably, however, and scooped the child up and carried him along.

The car was stopped at the end of 30 feet, and Conductor K. M. Brown ran forward to see if young Mr. Bergman had been injured. He was squalling lustily, but was In good shape, except for a slight cut on the head, caused by striking tiie fender.

The result has been most satisfactory. IT MIGHT BE MODIFIED. Mr. Owea Qualifies' His Indersement of the Two-Thirds Rule.

Owen, who represents the Indian Territory on the Democratic National Committee and lives In this city, has received the following Inquiry from New Tork newspaper: "Win party interest warrant a departure by either the gold or h-r advocates from the time-honored rule reutring a two-thirds vote to nominate a dldate for president in the Chicago con- ion Air.

A bolt Is Inevi table, and we are determined that the free-silver men shall be the bolters. A bolt would defeat the party, but we are beaten any way, and In a year you free-silver fellows will be grateful to us for saving you from your own folly." This is the talk that one hears here.

It Is no longar denied, except In the newspa pers, that the free silver men will have a majority of the regularly elected delegates to Chicago It is no longer even suggested that the Democrats can win at the comma election. The sole theme of discussion among Democratic politicians is how to use the Chicago Convention so as to make tt mos. helpful to the Cleveland Administra tion and the gold standard cause, and moat damaging to free silver.

1 i Early Morainr Pedestrians 1 te Kick Them Away Frem Their Ram Soaked Feast. Imagine a stalwart man fast asleep on the pavement of a busy thoroughfare of a great city and a score or more of rats gnaw lng at his nose and digging their keen teeth into his fat jaws, while others were busy sucking the blood from his hands and wrists, literally and rapidly eating him up alive. This was the spectacle that several passers-by saw in the early dawn of Wednesday on lower Olive street. Nor did the rats take fright and scoot to their holes at the approach or the pedestrians. They had actually to be knocked and kicked oft the body or their victim.

The man breathed, in fact snored, though to all purposes was as dead as If he had been on a slab in the Morgue. His nose was well nigh gnawed off, Ms face was lacerated and bleeding where It had been dug Into by the teeth of the voracious rodents, and blood trickled from his hands and lower arms on which they were greedily making their breakfast. One of the pedestrians stooped and pulled at the sleeper, endeavoring to arouse him but 'he was unresponsive to their kind ef forts. A policeman was notified that a. man had been found dying on the street and an am bulance was called.

Kinch was too far into the chase to give up there, tiTPi siie followed" him. jumping to the street while the car was moving. As she chased her husband along Walnut street the crowd followed, but the pursued and pursuer were fleet and kept in the lead. At Sixth and Walnut streets Kinch started to go in a saloon, but the door scrten opened the wrong way and in his confusion he lost valuable time. He had just pulled outward on the knob when the woman caught up to him and let go with the bag of pepper.

Before the bag struck on his face the woman turned and was lost in the crowd. The bag struck Kinch just over the right eye and as it broke tne fine grains of cayenne pepper were scattered through the air. Kinch unconsciously closed tight his eyes, yet some of the pepper got in one of them. He brushed his eyes clear and then went home. Tuesday he asked for a warrant against his wife, but Col.

Johnson refused to interfere in the matter. Kinch says he will sue for a divorce. A FINE OBJECT LESSON. The Alleged Son of a Rich Bostenian in the Depths. A temperance lecturer might have found a useful object lesson at the Lindell Wednesday morning In the person of a young man Who said he was the youngest son of the proprietor of the famous Parker House in Boston.

He wore a seedy suit of clothes and a long blue cape mackintosh. He wore no shirt and carried his coat under his arm. On his head was a stylish new silk hat which served to accentuate the defects and seediness of his clothes. He was much the worse for liquor, and while finances were evidently at a low ebb his thirst was as high as the thermometer and, like it, still going up. His line of tactics was to pick out the members of several secret orders, to which he had evidently belonged in better days, and try to work them for the needful.

His fun was evidently ended, as far as the Lindell was concerned, by a peremptory order from the office to "throw him out." Force was unnecessary as he vanished at once. CYRUS FIELD'S OLD HOME.

Edward Kinch's Scheme For Getting Her Rights. "HUBBY" MADE A GOOD RUN, But His Wife Was a Sprinter Herself and Flung Her Bag of Cayenne. A very small inflamed spot over Edward Kinch's right eye shows where a bag of red pepper burst and scattered its fiery contents. Mr. Kinch says that the throwing of the pepper ended the most exciting chase to which he was ever a party and he further asserts that when his wife did catch him at Sixth and Walnut streets she let go of the pepper.

Mr. Kinch for years has been floorwalker for the Palace Clothing Co. at 9 North Broadway, and previous to a quarrel of sev eral weeks ago uvea wttn nis wiie ac zoud Franklin avenue.

The matrimonial troubles of the KlncH family dates to a year ago, when their baby was born. Not more than two months ago there was a grand split up and Mr. Kinch moved to bachelor apartments.

Col. Johnson ex amined Into the matter and after an interview with Mr. Kinch decided not to issue the warrant, Mrs Kinch then made Col. Johnson about as mad as he ever gets by making an appointment to meet ber husband in the warrant office. The interview was for the purpose of seeing what arrangements could be made for the support of tihe child.

Mr. Kinch said he was willing to pay $2 a week for the child's expenses, but Mrs. Kinch said it would cost $300 a year to keep It properly and while thry were wrangling over toe matter Col. Johnson put them out of the office. Kinch says that since the tempestuous Interview in Col.

Johnson's office he has received several letters from his wife, all of nature and one of them stat ing that she had two Instruments with which to kill mm- He made no reply to these letters, but kept all of them, thinking, he says, he might want to put her in the hands of the Federal authorities some time for a violation of the postal laws.
