Finally he got impatient ond dropped the hold liis right hand had on the gun, grasped his bowie knife and slashed Hopkins' throat clear across. He fell to the street, and Terry pushed his way through the crowd, getting among his friends and finally taking refuge in the vigilantes' armory, where he was captured with his supporters.

The power of the state to control corporations created by it is affirmed, and congress is urged to stop rebates and discriminations on railroads. It is declared to be the duty of the state and federal governments to punish trusts and conspiracies designed to lin\it production of the necessaries of life and interfere with the natural course of trade. Reaffirming past utterances of the party on prohibition, the convention declared for the complete enforcement of the law. A welcome is extended to the four new states. Courts of arbitration to settle differences between corporations and organized labor and Governor Larrabee's administration were indorsed.Washington, Aug. 16.—At the department of justice nothing is said to Indicate an opinion that Deputy Marshal Nagle was too rash. In fact, the opinion is clearly enough shown that if Nagle had done less than he did he would have failed to carry out the instructions of the department. The same opinion'seems to be almost universal here, both in and outside of official circles. There are in town, of course, a few sympathizers with Terry, but they are all southern Are eaters, ox-Confederates, former chums of Terry and adherents of the code of honor, who hold that it would be better to have waited a little aijrt to have given Terry a fair chance to shoot somebody before shooting him. These few, but only these, argue that Nagle's only duty was to have arrested Terry when he slapped the justice's face. What may properly be called public opinion is all the other way. It does not hold that Nagle committed a crime, but that he simply did his duty well. Madison, Wis., Aug. 16.—Gen. W. W. Treadway died at his home in this city during the night, aged 85.

When the body was searched no weapon waa found. Paris, Aug. 10.—The Republican journals are convinced that public opinion will ratify the decree of the senate court in the conviction of Boulanger, Dillon and Rochefort. The Conservative and Boulangist papers, however, express themselves as sanguine that the general elections for members of the chamber of deputies will show that the people do not acquiesce in the verdict. It is alleged that M. Waddington, French ambassador to England, has been instructed to sound the English government on the question of extraditing Gen. Boulanger, Count Dillon and M. Rochefort.

IB.—In the bouse of commons Mr. Thomas Sexton stated that it had been told him that the homo office had authorized the postal officials to open all letters which came from America addressed to Mr. Parnell by his mother. He asked if this were correct, and also if the home office had directed the postal officials to open and examine the letter sent tvD him (Sexton) at mayor of Dublin by President Harrison. Mr. Matthews, the home secretary, stated very emphatically that he had not authorized the opening of any of the letters to which Mr. Sexton referred. Nor, said he, was there the slightest ground for believing that President Harrison's letter to the mayor of Dublin had been opened by any one connected with the postoffice department. He could only say that the inquiry as to the attempted tampering with President Harrison's communication to Mr. Sexton was progressing. Killed In a Riot. Maud 8. tvOo in Training.

Deroulede, the prolific writer of war songs and president of the Patriotic League of France, a Boulangist organization, expresses the opinion that the popular belief that Boulanger has concluded an alliance with the Orleanist party was mainly responsible for the general's defeat at the recent, cantonal elections for the states general.

The money derived from the Cheltenham Beach affair will be turned over to the Cronin investigating committee, to be used in aiding the prosecution of the assassins, while the funds gathered at Ogden's Grove will be sent to Mr. Parnell. Both were largely attended, but the attractions at Cheltenham appeared to be the stronger and drew the larger attendance. The Cheltenham Beach picnic was addressed by John Devoy, of New York; Luko Dillon, Congressman Foran, of Cleveland; W. J. Hynes, Dr. McCabey, of Philadelphia; M. J. Ryan, and Thomas P.

He probed for the ball, without success, and the injured man was taken to the county hospital. It was stated there that he could not live. Washington, Aug. 16.—Theodore 8.

Mrs. Terry, prior to the confinement of her husband, had made an assault upon Judge Sawyer. Sawyer resented the insult. Terry would have killed him. Terry's threats were so publicly made that they reached the ears of tho department of justice at Washington and Attorney General Miller ordered the United States marshal to protect the persons of Justice Sawyer and myself. I objected at the time to being put under the protection of the marshal's officer." Kaiiway, N. J., Aug. 16.—J. W. Ackerman shot and. probably fatally wounded his sonin-law, J. H. Thorp.

There are in town, of course, a few sympathizers with Terry, but they are all southern Are eaters, ox-Confederates, former chums of Terry and adherents of the code of honor, who hold that it would be better to have waited a little aijrt to have given Terry a fair chance to shoot somebody before shooting him. These few, but only these, argue that Nagle's only duty was to have arrested Terry when he slapped the justice's face. What may properly be called public opinion is all the other way.
